I (36f) have zero tattoos; I've always loved the idea of a tattoo but just never found one that held enough meaning for me, to commit to that level of permanency . Recently I discovered that not only are my husband & I the same age, which means that we share a Chinese birth year zodiac sign, but we were also married in the repeat of the same sign. To commemorate our 10th anniversary i drew up a design I liked. I am small of frame (ectomorph, for those that know what that means) so I don't want a large piece, no more than 4"x4". The detail would be minimal, more outlines and shading. I knew I wanted a female artist (support a minority in the industry & I'm uncomfortable with the idea of another man touching me for 2+ hours). So I searched first for female artist in my area, then studied their online portfolios. I finally selected one that appeared to have a wide range of styles abilities, clean lines etc.
Here's the "Am I being unreasonable" part. I started setting up the arrangements to get a consultation, finalize the art work etc. and the studio has a $100 deposit policy and each artist charges $200 an hour. This past weekend we stepped into the studio to speak with the office manager; we were quoted that on the high side, my tattoo could be as much as $600. I am okay with saving up and just doing it... my husband insists that that is way too much and refuses to pay for it (as he has said he would several times now) if i pick someone who charges more than $300. Is it so insane that I want my comforts met as well as a good tattoo, regardless of the cost?
A girl that I’m talking to came over to my apartment while I was finishing up a paper. We were in my bed and as I’m working on my paper she was scrolling through TikTok with the volume on very low but it is still very distracting. I asked her if she could turn it off for a few minutes while I finished up my work. She then told me not to be mean and turned her back towards me. Confused, I just decided to go back and complete my work. When I finished I tried to talk to her and she ignored me then eventually told me that I needed to apologize. I refused to do so and told her that I would not apologize for simply asking her to turn the volume off for a few minutes. She got up angry, grabbed her things and left and said on the way out that she did not want to hang out later like we had planned. She would not even stop to talk about what just happened. If anyone should be angry it should be me for how ridiculous the whole interaction was.
Please leave the longest comment you can in the comments of this video, the most angry will be pinned. This is a fun social experiment, and please make sure to read the description first for the rules :)
Is it unreasonable to ask your significant other to remind you to take a shower at the end of the night?
My mom is trying to get me to put all food from communal bowls or bags in ziplocks incase I’m carrying the corona but since we live together my entire family touch’s rails door handles and tables we all have it if one of us has it, could someone tell me how to tell here that’s like putting a fan to the coast to prevent a hurricane and when I tell her she gets unreasonably pissed
This person asked my family around 2 weeks ago if he could send his children with us if he decides to have them go on vacation. We said sure, and then he gave no other information since. We didnt really want to, as this was an indirect flight and so we would be travelling for 40 hrs ( which is a long time to take care of two other kids), but we agreed as he was a friend and my mom said we should try to help.
We had called him about four times since and he didn't ever pick up the phone. We sent texts as well but there was no response. We simply assumed that they decided not to journey with us, and left it at that. Then, 3 hours before we are supposed to go to the airport, he calls us and tells us that he plans to send his children with us on the flight.
But that's not all!!! He says he did not get tickets for his two kids and tells us to find tickets he can buy for his children!
I honestly do not understand how people think this is ok! My parents are now stressed out over how to take care of two more children for 40 hrs and my dad spent like 30 mins on the phone with the "friend" trying to find tickets.
Tldr: Unreasonable man informs my family 3 hrs before we are supposed to leave for the airport that he expects us to take care of his two children on a 40 hour indirect flight to India, as well as find his two children tickets for the flight!
Ok so this happened yesterday which was May 1st of 2019 I hadn’t been to my church in a while because I’m on the 7/8th grade softball team at my school, me being an 8th grader who hasn’t learned to control my panic attack’s really wanted to go back because I missed going. The game we were supposed to have was cancelled and we didn’t have practice either so I was my perfect opportunity to go. And that day we were going to a women’s shelter to make tacos and give them out. After a while we got to eat and I’m just sitting there having a panic attack because they’re were a lot of people in a small environment. This is when he comes in, for identity purposes we’ll just call him Gabe (G) and I’ll be Ellie (E) E: sorry if I’m shaking and stuff I’m trying like to not completely break down. The lady we we were sitting with walks away so she can get to the church service that they go to after dinner. G:You need to stop.this isn’t about you. We are here to serve them and not worry about ourselves.you need to lower yourself. You better stop complaining E:Sorry but there’s too many people and I don’t do well in big groups of people G:I don’t care this trip wasn’t about you it’s about these women and leading them to God. I have no idea what he expected me to do was I just supposed to leave and walk home for 6h and 13 minutes. And I was already on the verge of tears he really just made it 10x worse.
I’ve worked for this company for over a year. I have had the email for over 10 years that uses the same abbreviation as the company in the address. Today I emailed her with my personal account and she asked if she had the password for it. I told her it was my personal email that I had for over 10 years, so obviously I wasn’t going to provide her with it.
She said that because I used the same abbreviation as the company, it represented a threat to “cyber security” and that I needed to terminate my personal email account.
I’m obviously floored.
Edit: obviously this is more of a requirement to do something and not a request. What Subreddit would this be more relevant to?
