Things That Piss You Off

I think a lot of kids have a “phase” and a decent proportion of those parents might be picking their battles.

When I was in elementary school and middle school, I used to dress very provocatively (spaghetti strap crop tops, booty shorts, platform heels…). One halloween, mum and dad let me dress as a sexy cop (they didn’t understand and neither did I). I dress quite conservatively now albeit not for moral reasons. I found out FOR MYSELF that it’s more comfortable and convenient.
I think after some time of itching and weird tan patterns + sunburnt butts, they will also come around

And how’s your romantic life doing now?

Allowing one’s daughter to increase the amount of sexual attention by provocative clothing at an inappropriately young age is neglect (or paternal failure) in my eyes. This is one of those times you tell them “no” out of love.

nonexistent by choice. I’m aromantic and asexual. The one time I asked someone out was to guarantee academic partnership even if he got busy w/ classes and stuff.

I agree that it’s not great for a girl to be wearing such things. Clothes like that are impractical and uncomfortable. There are also ignorant and overly permissive parents My point is that sometimes parents have to pick their battles and perhaps clothing is not one that is worth fighting over for those families.

That’s a nice way of saying lazy and weak. Parents should always win every battle. Doing that will prevent most battles from even occurring.

I’ve seen literal prostitutes wearing less revealing clothes. You know the old “dad not letting his daughter out of the house dressed like a whore” trope? Yeah, this time it was literal.

(most) Parents are well meaning, but they are not always right, nor is making it such that children don’t make mistakes and learn for themselves necessarily good IMO

Just anecdotally, If my parents won every battle with me, I would 1) not be lifting 2) not have gone to the uni I went to or gone into academia 3) still be playing piano or flute (which I hated) instead of writing (which I love) 4) be a pushover like my little bro who did not stand up for himself

I definitely had my regrets (e.g., not continuing w/ maths) but I also didn’t rebel for rebellion sake. For example, I was very happy to oblige my parent’s request that I not get a boyfriend in high school (they regret this now), go to Chinese school and stick to a 9pm bedtime (they also regret this now). Regarding the bedtime and chinese school, I used to hate both, but realised that it was good for me and that I actually enjoyed sleeping early and learning mandarin.

Yeah that won’t happen with mine.

I abide by the adage my parents used, “It does not matter how old you are. If I am paying, I am saying.”

Which is completely fair.

If you are 18 and think you are grown, feel free to pay all your own bills and move out :slight_smile:

Kids can still make mistakes. There is a difference between that and parents setting kids up to fail.

Lazy retards that put stuff in their shopping cart (or whatever), decide on a whim that they don’t want said stuff anymore, then randomly toss it aside wherever they happen to be instead of returning said item to it’s rightful place.

The best part is when they do it with food, and render said food garbage.

They don’t even need to put it back; they can just tell the cashier they don’t want it and they’ll take care of it.

I mean I can understand if the item that wasn’t put back was refrigerated/frozen, but otherwise….

I always assume that ‘decisions were made.’ As in, whatever was left behind was traded for the item on the shelf where it was left. Leave some condoms on the chip shelf? We can guess what decision you were making. It’s sometimes fairly hilarious.

Gay Son or Thot Daughter

Which one would you rather have :rofl:

5690

Gay son, as long as he’s ‘top gay’, not ‘bottom gay’.

My actions have little effect on whether my son comes out gay. Meaning i didn’t fail him for that to happen (theoretically speaking).

If my daughter turns into a hoe, that’s my fault. You can blame some on the mother, but the father or lackthereof is typically to blame.

Really? I always somewhat believe sons would become gay out of rebellion.

I’ve been really pissed off at my parents, but never pissed enough to suck a dick.

Tbh I’d rather have a thot daughter.

She can bend an army of simps to her advantage and become successful.

And just maybe just maybe I’ll have access to this endless supply of spineless men to do my bidding as well.

Does not matter, love them both

I don’t know where else to post this.

A relative of mine was assaulted while walking home a couple of nights ago. 3-on-1. At one point, two dudes held him down while a third kicked and punched him. Coulda ended pretty badly. Afterward the three dudes left, he called the cops, they showed up, talked to him for a few minutes, then he left and went home.

My family called the cops when he gets home to see what happened. The cops said they looked at security footage from a bar pretty close to where it happened, and all the footage showed was the guy walking for about a block and eventually falling over. They insisted that no one else was outside at the time. We asked if we’d be able to see the footage for ourselves, and while they didn’t say no, they made it sound like that’d be unlikely to happen.

Well, I used to work at the bar it happened near. I’m on good terms with the manager. I called him and asked if I could look at the footage. I went in today to do so. The footage pretty clearly shows three guys walking towards, then attacking my relative. He does fall at one point, not because he tripped on his own, but because he’s surrounded by three guys who are beating him. After a couple of minutes, the attackers walk away. That’s about the end of it. The manager very much agreed that it was definitely a case of three guys attacking one guy, and not even close to one dude, totally alone, walking on his own and falling. How someone could see the footage and think that is crazy. Footage also shows the cops looking at the footage after being called, so they should’ve seen what we saw.

It sure looks like the cops lied…they insisted that all the footage showed was my relative walking and falling, and that there was no one else around. When in reality it shows one guy getting jumped by three others. And I know who the guys are. Footage does a decent job of showing their faces, I know their names, I know where they work, and the general area of where they live. Almost want to just go handle things myself but I’m just angry.

How does one proceed? My family wasn’t even super concerned with pressing charges against the attackers, but now feel like the cops are definitely lying about something. It’s a small town. Maybe one of the cops is related to an attacker and is protecting him? I don’t want to make assumptions but why the hell would they lie about what the footage shows. We wanted to go to the station and talk with someone in charge, but don’t know if we can even trust them. Do we get a lawyer? I don’t know what a lawyer would even do in this case.

@Bauber - you’re the first guy with legal (I know you’re more business-legal but still) experience who came to mind. Any other lawyers on here? I know things vary state-to-state and based on every detail, but doesn’t this seem a little fishy? I even went to five other buildings around the area today, all with security cameras, to see if they could help. Two don’t have cameras facing the area, two said they’d look and get back to me, and one said she hadn’t looked at her cameras but if the cops came she’d show whatever she has to them. But none of them had been approached by the cops in the past 48 hours. So I did more “investigating” in literally a half hour than they’ve apparently done in two days.
