Excellent job @canadapostcorp. Great work! One note…

[Jaime T Kirk @captainjtk]

@gzuckier @heyitshazey @MattZeitlin Okay, yes, there is that. But it’s still more defensible than BEAN FATE.

Some video I shot at about 8pm, west of the city. @CTVHamel #skstorm #yqr

@such_hockey_wow @redditships Yeah I’m legitimately concerned for OP’s safety here. If she says something, but also if she doesn’t. She can stall and avoid his demands, but not indefinitely. He’s bound to notice eventually that he hasn’t gotten what he wants from her.

@DonutInterns @AITA_reddit Here’s a bunny in the courtyard, just doing bunny things.

@captainstardust @RipleyLacross @redditships Oh God I’m so glad someone else read it this way! I was starting to worry that I was the only one.

@caljones @macduude @AITA_reddit Two months ago I’d say ‘probably too many’, but now it’s ‘hopefully enough’.

[Jaime T Kirk @captainjtk]

SCIENCE. @MamaDoctorJones

@macduude @AITA_reddit They’ve discontinued the Double Gulp now apparently! So it’s even more important that I keep the cups if I want refills (once refills are allowed again).

Drinking industrial amounts of fountain pop is my only vice but I am Very Serious about it.

@flordefandom @HackieP @AITA_reddit But metal or silicone straws are too expensive to replace my plastic straw hoard. Plastic straws were free!

[Jaime T Kirk @captainjtk]

@flordefandom @HackieP @AITA_reddit Jumping in here to also say that reusable straws have to be washed, a fiddly task that disabled folks (like me) may not be able to reliably do. I do wash and reuse my precious plastic straws when I can, but I’ve hoarded enough that I can put off dishes for quite awhile.

[Jaime T Kirk @captainjtk]

@such_hockey_wow @AITA_reddit I think there’s a lot of confusion because ‘nice’ and ‘polite’ are often used interchangeably. We’re perceived as polite (especially compared to Americans), but I don’t think we’re necessarily any nicer. That said, this girl isn’t nice or polite and OP is NTA.

[Jaime T Kirk @captainjtk]

@redditships I have a whole-ass college degree and I can say in no uncertain terms that waitresses/servers are better and more successful people than me in pretty much every way.

OP should dump the insecure and/or ashamed boyfriend and live her own best life.

[Jaime T Kirk @captainjtk]

@qwiktest1 @redditships I just took that to mean that she could earn more at the ‘better’ place? Since tips are generally a percentage of the bill, a more expensive restaurant would have the potential for bigger tips than a diner would.

[Jaime T Kirk @captainjtk]

@tinysapien @redditships The key difference, as I see it, is whether or not the partner being lied about is in on it. So the problem with this dude isn’t necessarily lying to his elitist parents, but that he lied to his partner, too.

And maybe it’s just me but I’d want to help craft my fake life, too.

Severe thunderstorms surrounding Regina with nickel size hail & strong wind gusts. Storm is heading towards Regina. #skstorm

For how much Robert gets teased for his pronunciation on @bastardspod, I gotta say, he got Saskatchewan better than any non-local I’ve ever heard. Major props, @IwriteOK.

@rabidmonkey @Sprinklequ3en @DonutInterns @AITA_reddit Weird. My smoke detector is right outside my bathroom too and it’s never set off by steam. I guess at least you know yours works?
