Girlfriend Gets Fed Up With Boyfriend's Gaming, Cuts Him Off

Man, we've seen our fair share of lovers' quarrels, and this one is certainly full of its own kind of ridiculous behavior. We have a boyfriend who seems like he's completely hooked on the gaming, and won't stop no matter what he hears. The girlfriend in question asks the folks of Reddit whether or not she's in the wrong for cutting him off like she did. Seems like she had no other choice.

Text - AITA for telling my BF that if he doesnt go to work, hes no longer using ANYTHING of mine (including my car AND wifi)? Not the A-hole 28f/29m been together for like 4 years I think. I love this guy to death but when I say he is lazy, that is seriously a huge fucking understatement and doesnt even shed an ounce of light on the actual problem. Hes also a gaming junkie-like the worst of their kind. For example, when a game is being released, he waits up until midnight to purchase the game (n

2.

Text - Anyways, a year and a half ago I had to give him an ultimatum. You either get a fucking job and start supporting yourself OR you can leave and go mooch off someone else. He chose to get a job. Lasted a month before he quit. Found another job 2 months later, lasted 2 weeks and quit. He was unemployed for 11 months when he finally landed this job in September. Assassins Creed was just released, what, 2 weeks ago and he started calling out every. single. day. Started staying up until 4am pla

Text - Yesterday I unplugged and hid his xbox. I knew he was going to call out and jump on his game. As I suspected, that's exactly what he tried doing. He picked a fight with me. Said he hated working and I was forcing him to waste away his life. Claimed he was depressed, though that's the first l've heard of it. He then tells me to get off my lazy ass and do something for once. I told him to leave. He takes my car because his is "on its last leg"- his words. Hes not in work clothes so I know h

Text - Shaking-Cliches • 7d • Partassipant [1] 10 Awards You seem like you're looking for permission to dump him. Do it. You have all our permission. Spending four years on this shitshow does NOT mean you have to spend any more. He doesn't respect you. He doesn't help with chores because he doesn't want to. He doesn't help financially because he doesn't want to. I don't care how funny he is or how good he is in bed when he's not glued to a console. Does he have a sibling you can talk to, or mayb

Text - TheBrassDancer • 7d • Partassipant [2] NTA. Why are you with this guy? It sounds more like you are mothering a child rather than being an equal partner in a relationship. Your boyfriend has an addiction if he's depriving himself of sleep to play games constantly. You could tell him that he needs to seek therapy or leave, but you've already issued a similar ultimatum once. He blew his one chance. Don't continue to let him freeload off you. 7.4k ...

Text - angelique_t • 7d • Asshole Enthusiast [9] 3 Awards NTA clearly but I want to clarify something: you ARE acting like his mother. EStop doing this to yourself, you said yourself you aren't his mother so stop acting like it. Even if you don't cook every meal or do every single chore you are babying him. You shouldn't have to hide the Xbox of a grown ass man for him to understand he needs to go to work- he needs to learn control by himself. Whether you see it or not, you are treating him like

Text - dirtyworkoutclothes • 7d NTA. What does this guy bring to your life? I couldn't even get past the first paragraph. This is a grown ass man.

12.

Text - Unlucky-Profession41 • 7d • Asshole Aficionado [17] NTA but how do you cope with the back pain from carrying this whole damn relationship? Giving him an ultimatum verbally solves nothing, will solve nothing and will only continue to saddle you with being a mothering partner in the future. He's BEEN CHOOSING OP. With his actions he's already been telling you what he wants from your relationship and from his life; a mother and a caretaker while he lives to his fullest mooch potential. 157 .

Text - Chaij2606 • 7d • Asshole Enthusiast [7] NTA, But: Do you want to live like this forever? What kind of future do the two of you want, like kids at one poinr? Because: You will not change him. Nothing against gaming at all, actually just send my hubby up to do this so i have an hour or three for myself ;) but this is not ok. 202 ...

Text - borschtgoddess • 7d • Partassipant [2] NTA. He has a chronic issue of laziness, as well as being generally disrespectful to you. It doesn't sound like you have a partnership, you have a parasite with an addiction to gaming. There are times when my SO has been unemployed before and he spent that time always looking for work, applying daily, and cleaning and cooking while I worked. Having a gap in employment is not an issue by itself, shit happens. But he is expecting you to carry the whole

Text - MOMonster1134 • 6d I wasted 6 years on a man like this. Love wasn't enough. I needed a best friend and life partner. It was so hard at first cause I loved him to death. But I was so lonely. I freed myself that day. I focused on me and my hobbies and my passions and one day I walk into a store and there is my now husband. It was like he was there waiting for me, because I loved me first. Our son will be 10 in April. My heart is bursting thinking of when he comes home from work today and I

Text - Claw_- • 7d NTA. Well, he's a huge asshole. His behaviour isn't normal and he should realise he needs to support himself and not use you. I know you said you love him, but do you want to be in a relationship with him acting like a child and says you're the one in the wrong for acting like an adult? My friend was in a similar situation. Dude was constantly ignoring her because he played around 18 hours a day and though he could make money from twitch/youtube. (He had like 30 subscribers).

Text - davesnothereman84 • 7d NTA but he has a lot of growing up to do. Video games are fun and all, but it's hardly the most important thing.

Bully Snowplow Picks Fight With Wrong Mailbox

Oh, to have seen the priceless look of shock and despair on that snowplow driver's face. We're not sure what compels some people in this world to be plain old mean to everyone else. But alas, when you see someone take a righteous revenge, like what we have here with the reinforced steel mailbox, you feel just a little bit better. With that being said, I can't help but wonder what the snowplow driver's beef was with this particular mailbox. Strange. 

Check out another juicy revenge story with this man who took revenge on a terrible Karen landlord.

Grass - loloftheday Folgen 3o050 TAM OPEN

2.

Text - Let's see you little punks smash my letterbox now aerylon Folgen This reminds me of this guy who used to live on my dad's street. Every time it snowed, the snow plow would take out his mailbox - and only his mail box. And just to be clear - it was done intentionally. No one knows why, but the driver of the snow plow would target his box and mow it down. He'd call the DOT to complain, and would get an earful of excuses that amounted to "not our fault you have a wimpy mailbox."

3.

Text - Fast forward to the next winter. First decent snow starts falling, and every kid is hoping for a snow day. It was right around 4:30 am that the whole neighborhood was woken up to this loud CLANG and the screech of tearing metal. My dad made it to the window first and started laughing his ass off. Sitting out side was one very totaled, and almost ripped in half, snow plow. And these weren't little pick-up trucks with a blade on the front, we have these up in NY:

Snow - Mobil nce bil EING Tors

5.

Text - Well, turns out over the summer, my dad's neighbor got himself a backhoe and sank a steel I beam into the ground in his front yard. Then he covered it with a decorative wood sleeve and topped it with a brand new mailbox. When the snowplow driver tried to mow it down it was a bad case of immovable object meets unstoppable force - and the mailbox won. With the plow firmly impaled on the I beam, it was very clear that the driver had gone out of his way to hit it.

6.

Text - Naturally, the DOT wasn't happy, and the neighbor's reply was simple: “Not my faulty you have a wimpy snowplow." They did try to sue him for the damages, but as he had gone to the town, gotten approval for the post and its installation, and made sure everything was up to code, it was thrown out pretty quick. And for anyone wondering about the driver... He was fine. His job and tighty-whiteys ... not so much.

Tumblr User's Weird Debt Notice Is Scary Money Lesson

We've all gotten stupid scam calls about something being wrong with your bank account, and there are tons of scams people still fall for. This however, is something in between a lie and the truth. This person got a legit notice from someone who bought a small amount of forgotten debt and wanted them to basically reactivate it with some shadowy wording. Weird. 

1.

Text - cherryseltzer i just got a super predatory debt collection letter. it was for a $113 debt from citizens bank, who i had an account with when i was 16 (20 years ago). the letter appeared to be an offer to cancel the debt if i paid them $22.75. HOWEVER, the actual wording is, "The amount of the debt is $113.77 and we will accept $22.75." so, no MENTION of canceling the debt, but the implication is there because many collectors of current debt offer to settle for a percentage.

2.

Text - at the bottom of the letter, it says: "Because of the age of your debt, we cannot sue you for it and we cannot report to any credit reporting agency. In many circumstances, you can renew the debt and start the time period for the filing of a lawsuit against you if you take specific actions such as making payments on the debt or making a written promise to pay."

3.

Text - basically. i don't owe this money anymore, the debt is so old they can't legally sue me for it OR put it on my credit report, BUT if i take their generous offer of paying them $22.75... they can sue me for the full amount because making a payment makes the debt current. no thanks, jefferson capital systems llc. feetlips always, always read the entire letter! it is so important because of semantic awfulness like this!

Tumblr Post Celebrates People's Inner Nerd

Let's be real. The people that can find that one thing in this wild life that they're completely obsessed with are often times passionate oddballs, that are just fun to be around. Being comfortable with airing out your inner nerd is actually pretty dang charismatic. This quick Tumblr post celebrates some folks' inner nerd quirkiness. 

1.

Text - fandomsandfeminism My favorite thing is listening to people go into extreme detail about some micro- aspect of some hobby they love that I know nothing about. My mother in law loves bird watching. The other day she told me about how the birder world is ROCKED with controversy about the new Audubon society bird naming conventions, particularly their new guidelines on hyphenation.

2.

Text - My sister in law explained in detail specific qualities to look for that distinguish a good jigsaw puzzle from a bad one. A friend of mine can talk your ear off about the different forms of cubism in modern art. This cashier at my local board game store explained to a friend of mine why Hive, a small insect themed strategy game, is amazing but the pill bug expansion breaks the game.

3.

Text - My mom is obsessed with Henry VIIII's wives and can not only list them in order, but knows all of their histories and ultimate fates by memory. Everyone has at least one thing where their scope of knowledge and opinion runs so much deeper than you could ever imagine. Friends and relatives, coworkers and strangers. For me, it is a lovely little reminder of how unique and strange humanity is. How we are all, deep down, nerdy weirdos.

8.

Text - alephnaughtmeric • 187d I googled because I was curious too: Hive is a game played with hexagonal bug pieces that your arrange connected to each other. On your turn, you can add a new piece or move a piece that is already on the board. Each type of bug has different rules about how it can move. Pillbugs actually have the ability to move other pieces on your turn. There are lots of exceptions for exactly how this works. This greatly complicates gameplay and can draw out games a lot.

Huge Trends No One Talks About Anymore

Times change, and that's probably for the best. The past few decades have seen the rise and fall of clear cola, kids wearing their clothes backwards, and a strange assortment of stupid catch-phrases. While this is all stuff that was kind of flash-in-the-pan, there's tons of other stuff that has been around for way longer than people think.

Employee Points Out Security Concern, Nobody Listens, Robbery Ensues

Sometimes, the only way that you can get through to people that seem committed to not listening to your warnings is to take matters into your own hands, and show them why they should've listened. This particular move was certainly a bold one, and we can't say we'd advise anyone to follow suit. But at least the point was proved, and the security measures in the museum were brought up to the level they needed to be at. Check out some more gold from Tumblr with this wild thread where Tumblr users go all in on "The Incredibles" analysis.

1.

Text - So my boss once robbed a museum to prove a point and honestly, I think she is my new role model. flamefriendsshipped If this gets notes l'll tell the full story fandomlovingweirdo Storu

2.

Text - flamefriendsshipped Many years ago, my boss was working at this museum and they had these original Churchill documents on display. These documents are worth millions of dollars. The only thing separating the public from these documents was a sheet of glass secured with 4 philips head screws. Seriously. No security guards in the room, no cameras, just an easily removable piece of glass.

3.

Text - My boss pointed out the security concern, but she wasn't taken seriously, so she took matters into her own hands. She bought a ticket and pretended to be a guest. She entered through the main entrance with a huge drill clearly visible on her belt, went straight to the documents and opened the case with the drill. (While wearing gloves,) she removed the documents, put them in a folder, reattached the glass, and walked out the main exit. Literally no one even questioned her.

For more gold from Tumblr check out this Tumblr post about a flight attendant's most memorable moments.

"Not My Job" Moments of Unimpressive Professionalism

People want work done fast, cheap and well. Unfortunately, all three of those are never going to happen at the same time. There are some impressively unprofessional "not my job" moments that slip through when no one's looking. But hey, it's better to get the job done-ish than not done at all, right?

Annoyingly Unrealistic Movie Logic Moments

Yeah, if only life were actually like the movies sometimes. But alas, instead, this is the real world baby. People have things like morning breath, gifts can be impossibly hard to wrap, or the outlandish terminology that's dispensed when it comes to describing the shady underworld of hacking. Movies certainly take their liberties when it comes to "portraying" the real world. Oh well, that can make for a great part of the escape from reality.

Text - tahonng • 3h 1 Award The way gifts are wrapped. They're always in boxes with actual lids (like shoe boxes, not ones with flaps) and the lid is wrapped separately from the box so when the open the present, they just lift the lid.

Graphic Designer Trolls Prospective Client

What makes this clever act of trolling from a graphic designer all the better is the fact that they go ahead and put that much detail into each logo. Like the tagline on the last one? Pure gold. Either the poor client on the other end of this interaction was truly as clueless as they come across, or they were just leaning into the ridiculous situation.

Text - Hi, is this the person looking for a graphic designer? Yes! Wow you're quick. We just put the ad up 30 minutes ago. Well, in this biz the early bird gets the worm. Can you tell me a little bit about the project? Sure, we need a logo for an Italian restaurant my husband and I are opening called Tomato Tomato. It's probably easier if we can talk on the phone, mind if I give you a ring? That's no good. I'm at my current design job and I would be taking this on as a freelance job, so I can't

No offense but has anyone ever told you that it's sorta phallic? No, what is that? It kinda looks like a penis. lol.

2020's Funniest And Cheesiest Tinder Moments

Tinder has always been a battlefield of red flags. It's shameless playground of people trying out the very best and worst of their pickup lines, and generally getting a big old kick out acting like careless fools. Of course, there are still some rare and occasional meaningful connections between Tinder users. But the large majority of Tinder is just a melting pot of ridiculous dating fails. Let's take a look at what some of 2020's Tinder highlights were. There have certainly been a lot of people using the app since we were all forced into our respective caves.

Times People Didn't Recognize Tony Hawk

Apparently there are a whole lot of people in this world that just don't recognize Tony Hawk when he's out in the wild. It must be somewhat nice for him; he doesn't have to deal with rabid fans storming his presence when he's out and about. But, he also has to deal with the occasional observer who thinks they know him from somewhere, but can't quite place it. At least Tony Hawk's a good sport about it.

Karen Demands Fellow Customer's Cart, They Don't Back Down

Employees find themselves having to constantly give in to demands of obnoxious Karens, but customers don't have to abide by such niceties. That's why when a Karen finds themselves battling with a customer, they usually get a taste of deserved resistance. For a total loss on the part of a Karen, here's a salon Karen who argued her way into a new Karen haircut.

Text - Me: "Fuck off lady. Step away from my cart and go get your own. And put that mask back on!" She finally lets go by pushing the cart back towards me; grabs another one and loudly complains all the way into the store. Later I see her getting stopped by the manager(?) and arguing about keeping her mask on. As a conflict averse person I felt really proud of standing my ground, and had to post this here as soon as I got home!

Text - tigolebitties4u 910 points · 21 hours ago I completely agree with your POV in this situation. So many people just don't care anymore, about anything. It is the Veruca Salt mindset of, "but I want it NOW!" Not that things haven't often been that way but so much more so since the onset of the pandemic. Nothing is ever as important as what "I" need in this exact moment. So, kudos to you for not giving in, and for not entirely losing your temper when I'm sure it was quite tempting to do so.

Mall Santas' Most Ridiculous Requests From Kids

When I was a kid, a woman at my school had foster kids (one of whom was a student) and she collected donations for kids on the wrong side of the track. So my mom used to donate our old church clothes to them. And my sister had this super puffy white dress. The lady who gave the donations to the kids told my mom that the little girl who received the dress cried when she received it because it was so nice

Text - damienwhite12• 1d When I was 5 or 6, we were going to my Dads Christmas work party with Santa there. I got into an argument with my parents before leaving and they scolded me pretty good, not sure what it was about but I probably was asking for it. Either way when I went on Santa's lap and he asked me what I wanted for Christmas, I simply responded that I wanted 2 parents who loved me. Obviously he was deeply disturbed by this and called my parents aside to express his concerns. They were

Text - Substantial_Remote62 • 1d 3 Awards Not a mall Santa, but I took over a property from a friend once that was being rented out to drug addicts. They were already way behind on rent payments, and we put them out. They left behind the worst mess imaginable. As I was cleaning out the kids' room, I found a letter to Santa from what I guess must have been a six or seven year old girl. It read "Dear Santa, you can please get me one thing for Christmas. If you can't, it's ok." if Reply 1 1.2k 3 •.

Text - Wash80 • 1d I was an elf. I remember we had this young Santa that worked with us. Not many like him since he looked young for the part. He was on shift one evening and we had this little girl come who was hearing impaired. Well this young Santa made her day by knowing Sign Language. They were able to have a conversation with each other. I remember the Mom crying a bit. # QReply 517 ...

Text - Hellastylish • 1d My friend was Santa and I was the photographer, there was a family with 2 twins 1 baby and 2 bigger kids. The twins were very excited and begged their mom, then the mom's like okay! And then the twin was like "I want a hot air balloon!" They had a british accent so it sounded VERY cute, we were right by the build a bear workshop so the other twin was like "and I want a cute princess dress for my kitty cat!" They looked at me smiling saying "can you take a picture of us?"

Text - AM_Conspiracy • 1d 4 Awards This was in 2005 so I was a junior in High school and I was Santa's helper (elf) along with another girl who was also Santa's helper and this little boy came and asked Santa for a pirate ship. But the kid couldn't pronounce his r's that well so it sounded like he said he wanted a pile of shit for Christmas. The mall Santa I was working with looked confused as hell so I had to tell him that he said he wanted a pirate ship not a pile of shit. When my shift was do

Text - SuzQP • 1d Years ago I took my son to see Santa. As we waited, we were able to overhear some of the kids talking to Santa ahead of us. One little boy said, "I just want Grandpa to be okay." Awwww. Santa replied with something we couldn't hear and then the child yelled, "That's the same BULLSHIT my mom says! You guys are LIARS, he told me can't even PEE anymore!!" I sill wonder if that kid got a catheter in his stocking that Christmas. Reply 89 3 ...

Text - Real_Space_Captain • 1d A story we always share about my sister: I went away to boarding school and my mom took my five year old sister and three year old brother to see Santa. My brother went "I want my big sister to come home." Of course, Santa asked where I was and my sister, helpful as ever, returns "my parents got rid of her!" My mom luckily was in earshot and easily clarify the misunderstanding. Reply 54 ...

Text - hazelhype • 1d Not a mall santa, but had an encounter. When I was 19 and my brother was 14, we decided to go to the mall when we walk by the mall santa who was talking to a little boy. The boys asked for his mom back. He even held out a money he had saved up for a treat, saying he would help pay if it cost too much. My brother and i can't help but do something for him. We immediately decided to buy the little guy whatever he wanted as a gift from his favorite store after they were done wi

Text - Emotional-Fruit • 1d My town does this event where there's a train ride (Polar Express) and it takes them to "The North Pole" to meet Santa. A local theater group for high school students are actors on the train and at the station as elves. I volunteered as an elf for a few years, we'd have activities like a coloring station, photo booth and my favorite station to work- writing a letter to santa. After the kids write their letters they would stick them in a fake mailbox and we would assur

Text - Hellocattty • 1d O1 Award Not a Santa, but I used to do the USPS Letters to Santa where you send local kids presents anonymously through the post office. You used to be able to go to the main city branch and read the actual letters from kids and pick one. One year I decided on a letter from a little girl asking for used clothes for herself and her sister. I cried on the spot. I went to Old Navy and a few other places and got them winter coats, boots, gloves, hats...I mean, this is Chicago

Text - JumpyBlueberry • 1d Not a mall Santa but when my daughter was four she was deeply obsessed with all things dental hygiene. She had seen an infomercial for a "Press to Paste" that "dispenses the perfect amount of toothpaste every time" and decided she needed it. So we take her to see Santa at the mall and when it's finally her turn she runs up so excited. She climbs into Santa's lap and he asks her what she wants most for Christmas. She gets a very serious look on her face and says "Santa,
