The pronoun would be I in the story.  I share a dorm with Quinn, my roommate.  I noticed that Quinn can be a bit forgetful about her key. I often remind her to bring a key, but also will usually swing back to the dorm if I got a phone call from Quinn. Obviously, save Quinn from being locked out. **However, one time I was on a movie date, before the movie started, Quin texted again if she could come home to let her back in. ** Poor me still replied to her, saying i would be back to let her in after the date, and turned off my phone. It rained heavily that afternoon, so on my way back to the dorm, I kept calling Quin where the hell is she. Surprisingly, Quinn had just been standing outside since the movie started. Well, she’s damped and furious. Quinn blamed me for getting damped and unsafe(cuz unable to get inside.) She even wanna report it to the dorm assistant.  So reddit, am i the asshole for not coming home early to let my roommate back into the dorm? ✦快留言讓我們知道你們想聽什麼！或讚美讚美我們，缺愛！ ✧ Every Wednesday and Saturday ✦ Instagram: mindyourenglish.tw ✧ Email: mindyourenglish2023@gmail.com ✦ Donation Link: https://pay.soundon.fm/podcasts/fa18f9bb-f253-4361-b60a-8bf4a8fa66de

I try really hard to make everyone I'm close to have a really good birthday. I guess my logic is so they feel wanted and appreciated and not how I felt as a kid. It was my birthday yesterday and my wife (35F) didn't mention it at all she didn't say happy birthday to me or anything. I don't really care too much about presents or doing anything special. It just would've been nice for her to at least acknowledge that it was my birthday. I did wait until midnight in case she was doing that thing that they do in movies where the person pretends they have forgotten someone's birthday when they actually haven't. After it turned 12 it's really embarrassing but I just kinda broke down crying. I know it's stupidly crying over something that isn't a big deal but it just made me feel how I felt as a kid and it just brought back a lot of feelings and memories from my childhood. My wife walked in on me crying she asked me what was wrong and once I told her she got really angry and accused me of trying to make her feel bad for something that's not important. She was shouting at me a lot and she was quite loud which woke my daughter up so I left the room to put her back to sleep. So, AITA for crying when my wife forgot my birthday? ✦快留言讓我們知道你們想聽什麼！或讚美讚美我們，缺愛！ ✧ Every Wednesday and Saturday ✦ Instagram: mindyourenglish.tw ✧ Email: mindyourenglish2023@gmail.com ✦ Donation Link: https://pay.soundon.fm/podcasts/fa18f9bb-f253-4361-b60a-8bf4a8fa66de

Usually, I prepare dinner with a mix of pantry staples and a few things in my place. We both really enjoy it. The issue arose when Ariel took friends visiting from abroad on the day we were set to have dinner. On the day of, I asked my friend if they had any requests. She asked for Japanese curry rice with steak, and I said that would be fine. I myself am vegetarian, but I don’t mind cooking meat for guests. I also give her some suggestions for what she can ask for in Japanese to get a good, mid-priced cut of steak. When they arrive, I’m already doing my prep. My friend hands me the steak, and I notice it’s a very high quality one - practically coated in marbling. We ended up having a great dinner, everyone was very complimentary about the food and I opened some wine I’d bought for the dinner too. We ended up chatting until quite late before everyone left. Things got a little awkward after they left. I received a text from my friend saying they’d all enjoyed the dinner, and asking me to transfer her around 64 for the steaks. I refused, pointing out that I hadn’t eaten any, and that I’d paid for everything else. She then said that I should have told her I wouldn’t be willing to include the steaks in the dinner and prepared something else, and she wouldn’t have bought them as her finances were tight at the moment. To me, this doesn’t really hold water. Firstly because she’s aware I’m a vegetarian and wouldn’t include steaks unless asked, but more so because she specifically bought a more expensive cut of steak than my recommendation, which feels very presumptive if she truly believed I was paying for it. So, AITA for not paying this back? ✦快留言讓我們知道你們想聽什麼！或讚美讚美我們，缺愛！ ✧ Every Wednesday and Saturday ✦ Instagram: mindyourenglish.tw ✧ Email: mindyourenglish2023@gmail.com ✦ Donation Link: https://pay.soundon.fm/podcasts/fa18f9bb-f253-4361-b60a-8bf4a8fa66de

Anna and I made a batch of weed brownies this weekend, but we only ate two of them. The rest have been in the fridge for a couple of days under plastic wrap, with a sticky note saying “Anna and Jeff’s – Please ask! :)” Our one roommate Danny took one of our brownies with him to work today, apparently without realizing that they were weed brownies. He accidentally ended up really high at his job and had to take a sick day and come home early. Danny is furious with me and Anna for not labeling the brownies as containing drugs. I pointed out that they weren’t labeled as anything except “not his” so I don’t see that me or Anna did anything wrong here. So, Reddit, AITA? I think I might be if there’s indeed some kind of known social rule about labeling “special brownies” as such, but I’m not sure if I buy that. 某某某: “NTA, That’s his karma for stealing.” ✦快留言讓我們知道你們想聽什麼！或讚美讚美我們，缺愛！ ✧ Every Wednesday and Saturday ✦ Instagram: mindyourenglish.tw ✧ Email: mindyourenglish2023@gmail.com ✦ Donation Link: https://pay.soundon.fm/podcasts/fa18f9bb-f253-4361-b60a-8bf4a8fa66de
