Intro (00:00):
Yapping!
Erika (00:00):
Hello, this is Erika.
Edgar (00:02):
And Edgar.
Erika (00:03):
And we are the Yapping Schnauzers. We entertain you
with yap worthy stories we findaround the web. Today's theme is
Manners or Madness. The firststory is, Am I overreacting for
asking my husband why he gavehis mom my seat at graduation?
My husband, 33 male, and I, 31female, don't argue much, but
(00:25):
this one has me quietly boiling.
I graduated with my master'slast weekend. I worked full
time, raised our daughters twofemale, and pulled night classes
for two years to get here. Eachgraduate was given three guest
tickets. I gave mine to myhusband, my mom, and my sister.
Cool.
Day of graduation, I'm walkinginto the venue with my cap half
(00:47):
falling off and my husband wavesme over with his mom next to
him. I assumed she somehow got aticket, maybe from another
student. Nope. Later my sistertexts, Where are you sitting? I
said, Aren't you here?
And she replied, I didn't getin. No ticket. Apparently he
gave my sister's ticket to hismom without telling me. His
(01:10):
excuse? Your mom and your sisterwould have both cried anyway and
my mom's never seen yougraduate.
I told him that wasdisrespectful and he told me I
was being overly sensitive andmaking a scene over a seat. I
left dinner early, haven'treally spoken to him since. He
thinks I'm being called oversomething logistical, but I feel
hurt, blindsided. And am Ioverreacting?
Edgar (01:34):
So yeah, firstly it's just a little bit rude not to
clarify who's coming because Iguess everyone has expectations
about who was able to go stuff.When they told OP one thing, I
guess she was just blindsidedcompletely with who actually
came which was like OP'shusband's mom.
Erika (01:54):
Yeah, he just had no right to make that choice for
her especially if it's hergraduation, it's her moment. She
should choose who should go. Whygo ahead and say, well, I want
my mom to go?
Edgar (02:08):
Yeah, exactly. I imagine those three people that were
originally supposed to go werewhat OP wanted to come.
Erika (02:14):
Yeah, I mean, how would you have felt? Would you have
acted the same way? Would youhave been pissed or you would
have just let it go?
Edgar (02:22):
I feel like it would be a bit indifferent, but also I
don't really like graduationslike that. Like, I don't think
they're that important.
Erika (02:29):
How should he have handled it better?
Edgar (02:32):
Well, since they're in a relationship, or they're
married, they should have hadbetter communication about who
was actually going. It's like avery weaselly thing to be like,
Oh, didn't tell you because youwould have been pissed and
stuff. Exactly. Sometimes that'san acceptable excuse, but in
times like this where OP clearlycares about the graduation, he
(02:52):
should have been more direct andmore communicative about his
intentions.
Erika (02:57):
Well, he went behind her back. It wasn't just about
communication. It was about himknowing that she was not going
to be okay with it and lying toher and waiting for the last
minute to change her plans forsomething important.
Edgar (03:11):
Is this, like, divorce worthy for you?
Erika (03:16):
That's so
Edgar (03:17):
hard
Erika (03:17):
Or
Edgar (03:17):
this like a doghouse worthy?
Erika (03:20):
It's bizarre.
Edgar (03:22):
I say the very minimum is a doghouse worthy.
Erika (03:24):
Of course, but so I guess it depends if he has done
anything like this before.
Edgar (03:29):
Mhmm.
Erika (03:30):
You know, like if he has put his family first before
mine. Like let's say if it'sgraduation, of course his family
should go before yours, youknow? That's, it's like common
sense. But why is he adding hismother for this? Like I don't
understand.
Edgar (03:45):
Maybe the mother is very cool.
Erika (03:47):
No, there's just no excuse to it. It's like, I
don't, no. There's no excuse forwhat he did and I would
definitely would have beenreally pissed with him. I
wouldn't say divorce worthy, butI would have definitely ponder
the thought.
Edgar (04:05):
You could always just use AI to like, in the pictures,
make it so the people who youwanted to be were actually
there.
Erika (04:12):
No. That's not the same thing. Okay, so the top comment
is not overreacting. Yourhusband is awful. It was your
special day and your choice ofwho to give the tickets to.
Your sister traveled all the wayonly to have to stand outside.
He made your special day abouthim and his mom and then has the
audacity to tell you that you'rethe one with the problem. It
(04:33):
wasn't his choice to make andinstead of admitting that and
apologizing, he's victimblaming. 100%. Please stand
firm, OP, because this isn'tjust about graduation, it's
about respect.
If he doesn't respect you, thenhe's not marriage material.
Edgar (04:48):
They're already married though.
Erika (04:49):
Oh, well divorced. And then she edited it. This is
actually worse than I thoughtbecause he must have planned
this in advance and told his momto be there to get to the venue.
He let you and your sisterbelieve that she was getting the
ticket, but all in the while healready invited his mom and
hadn't told you. You are marriedto a colossal asshole.
(05:10):
Run. That's true. He lied inorder to get have this happen,
he lied to his sister and her
Edgar (05:18):
and told And mom probably. Because if I said, Oh,
you were invited. So I feel likethe mom isn't really at fault.
Erika (05:24):
I hope not. Because sometimes you always think of
good in people, but
Edgar (05:29):
I feel like everyone here was like, well at least everyone
invited, like, to travel a longway.
Erika (05:33):
It doesn't matter.
Edgar (05:35):
I mean, it matters in terms of the mom being innocent
or not because she's just a fakeWe don't know
Erika (05:42):
if she's innocent. We don't know.
Edgar (05:44):
We don't know if the OP is innocent.
Erika (05:48):
Yes. OP is innocent in this. Her husband is an asshole.
And
Edgar (05:53):
She knows she really knows how to pick them. Well,
Erika (05:57):
it's hard to show true colors. So I would say it
doesn't matter if whoevertraveled whatever, it doesn't
matter. It's about who shewanted to be there in her
special day and he ruined thatand lied to everybody. I'm
hoping he lied to themother-in-law, but who knows?
Edgar (06:16):
So final verdict?
Erika (06:17):
I would say he's the asshole. I would really think
about your marriage and reflect.
Edgar (06:22):
I say he's the asshole, but just every single mile that
the sister had to travel, that'show many days he has to be in
the doghouse for.
Erika (06:30):
Nah, dude. I'm so annoyed with this because it's just, he,
it's frustrating. I would say itdepends if it's divorce worthy.
If he's done something else likethis, that he has done something
that has put his family firstbesides OP, then I would say
(06:53):
divorce worthy. But if not, thisis his first offense, then I
would really reflect and see ifyou want to continue.
Edgar (07:02):
The next story is titled, Am I the Asshole for Getting
Upset at My Boyfriend forConstantly Eating My Food? My
boyfriend, 22 male, and I, 24male, have been dating for a
little over a year now. Ingeneral, we have a pretty good
relationship with hardly anymajor problems, except for one
on my end. He is constantlyeating my food. We don't live
(07:24):
together and work hecticschedules, so we eat out a lot.
We cook too, but this problemisn't present when we eat in.
Well this guy would literallyeat his food and then help
himself to mine. He won't askme, he won't even look at me,
but will just reach out to myplate and start eating. I was
feeling nauseous a couple weeksago when we went out for
(07:46):
burgers, so I took the wholething home. A few hours pass and
I'm feeling better and I try toeat.
And he literally grabs from myplate and just starts eating it.
After four of his butts, it wasmore than halfway gone. He does
this with drinks as well andwould drink anything I have with
me. My mom gave me an expensivebar of chocolate that I was
(08:08):
saving and he just went to mydresser and opened it and ate
half. It's driving me crazy thatI can't ever fully have a meal
or any kind of treats to myselfbecause he wants to eat it all
as well.
I've talked to him about it andI've met with the you're
overreacting, it's not a bigdeal. I thought we shared stuff.
(08:28):
But last weekend we went to themovies and I ordered some snacks
and a large drink. He orderedsome snacks and a medium drink,
so I took it upon myself andupgraded him to large. He tells
me he only wants a medium, and Iinsist that he takes the large.
He doesn't want one and tellsthe guy to make it a medium
anyways. So a little later,halfway through the movie, he
(08:48):
runs out of soda and grabs wine.He literally chugs like more
than half of it and I'm lost in.I screamed at him at the feeler,
Get your own drink, youshould've gotten something large
like I said. And everybodylooked at us.
He said it was very embarrassingand uncalled for in public. And
I agreed to an extent, but itwas the last straw for me. So,
(09:10):
am I the asshole?
Erika (09:12):
No. I think it's really annoying. He tried to
accommodate his boyfriend and hejust refused and then when
things went the wrong way or hegot pissed, the boyfriend's like
that was so uncalled for.
Edgar (09:28):
I don't get like especially with that feeder
situation, why didn't he takethe large drink? Clearly he's
very hungry all the time.
Erika (09:36):
Maybe he's trying to watch his weight.
Edgar (09:38):
Maybe and failing.
Erika (09:41):
Yeah, I think, I mean, you're always asking for food
and you're always hungry. And tosome extent, everybody,
including your family and myfamily, know that you eat a lot.
Edgar (09:54):
I know. Maybe too much.
Erika (09:57):
I don't know where it goes, but you're still thin
regardless of how much you eat.But, you know, we already know
this, so I'm used to you. So Icater for you, so, you know,
sometimes I, you don't eat this,I'm like, here, you could have
this. Or I share some of it orhalf of this goes that, except
for ice cream sometimes, I putmy foot down for ice cream.
Edgar (10:19):
I know, you barely give me any.
Erika (10:20):
Because I love ice cream you should have got your own.
I'm watching my figure. Yeahokay but you want my ice cream.
Edgar (10:28):
I only want like the chocolate parts.
Erika (10:30):
Yeah which is the best part exactly so no. I still say,
I mean, if it's issues, likelet's say you did that to me, I
would have been flipped out too.
Edgar (10:42):
In the theater?
Erika (10:43):
Yeah, would have flipped out.
Edgar (10:46):
Would you flip out even more if it was like ice cream in
the theater?
Erika (10:48):
Actually, know what, would have said no, you could go
get your large drink. That'swhat I would have said. I
wouldn't have screamed at you. Iwould have said no. This is my
drink.
I'm drinking it. Go get yourlarge drink.
Edgar (10:58):
That's crazy.
Erika (10:59):
Because if I wanted to order a large drink and you
denied that and even told thewaiter, no, I'm just gonna get a
medium.
Edgar (11:07):
And then end up drinking mine's anyways?
Erika (11:10):
Yeah. And then trying to drink mine after I told you to
get a large now. You you alwaysI would have said go order your
large drink.
Edgar (11:17):
And he literally drink, like, half the large drink too.
Erika (11:19):
I know, it's insane. Don't know. Think His
Edgar (11:22):
gator would destroy him.
Erika (11:24):
Yeah, he's also good like be I don't know if it's a lot of
people eating like that eitherfor anxiety or if it's also
because it's like gluttony whenyou're not you're just eating
because you just want to eat notbecause you're really hungry.
Edgar (11:40):
Yeah gluttony.
Erika (11:41):
I
Edgar (11:42):
feel like maybe he's just bored because have you noticed
like when you're in feeders youjust like kind of like keep
chewing on popcorn and notreally noticing what you're
eating.
Erika (11:50):
And you keep going, yeah, 100%.
Edgar (11:52):
I feel like it's sort of good, but also you're eating so
much calories because it reallyadds up. When we have nights out
with the kids or with friends,on Fridays we get three or four
bags of popcorn. That's like alot.
Erika (12:05):
Excuse me, don't usually eat it all the time.
Edgar (12:09):
I mean, know it's just us two, which is like in general.
It's just like a popcorn fest.
Erika (12:15):
Well I mean, in Costco they sell that big pack.
Edgar (12:18):
Yeah, 10 pounds of popcorn. Straight to our niece's
stomach. Her greed would destroyher.
Erika (12:25):
She just loves popcorn with salt and lemon. If you guys
haven't tried that, you shouldtotally try it. It's so good.
Edgar (12:31):
But don't put too much on it because she always puts way
too much and then my handsdissolve into like no, the
popcorn dissolves as my handtouches the popcorn.
Erika (12:39):
Yeah, it's a little bit soggy. I would say just sprinkle
it, you know? Don't necessarilydrown in it.
Edgar (12:46):
How about we just have popcorn with nothing in it?
Erika (12:49):
No, I love popcorn and lemon or lime, whatever. Both
are good. Okay, so the topcomment is, Why are you with
this guy still? He has norespect for your boundaries,
belittles you and your feelings,and refuses to compromise. Let
the asshole dump him for yourown sanity.
Edgar (13:07):
Is this dump boy thing?
Erika (13:08):
Yes.
Edgar (13:09):
You think
Erika (13:09):
so? 100%.
Edgar (13:10):
What did you have been together for like forty years?
Erika (13:12):
I don't give to him. I don't know. I would say dump
him. Because right now you'restill a boyfriend. Do you think
you could live like thisforever?
Because I don't think he's gonnachange. And he's showing you who
he really is. Are you gonna beliving like that for the rest of
your life? I don't think so.
Edgar (13:30):
OP's boyfriend isn't gonna live forever like this
though? Or live forever.
Erika (13:35):
Because he eats too much? Exactly. Well you don't know if
he goes to the gym order. Butregardless, don't think you
would want to live like that forthe rest of your life. I think
it's very frustrating.
You're gonna lose hair. You'regonna
Edgar (13:46):
He's already losing hair, I can tell.
Erika (13:48):
You're gonna get white hair from me. And you know, just
save your sanity, OP. Dump hisass.
Edgar (13:56):
So that's your final verdict?
Erika (13:58):
Yeah, how about you? What's your final verdict?
Edgar (14:00):
Just keep a stache.
Erika (14:02):
No, because he's an adult, he should know. No, he's
not a child. He should beaccounted, you know, be
accountable for what he's eatingand then be an adult for it, not
just accommodate him everysingle time. That's exhausting
for the other person.
Edgar (14:19):
Maybe it's a trauma response.
Erika (14:20):
It doesn't matter. If he doesn't want to deal with that,
then he doesn't have to. Nobodyhas to deal with your trauma.
Edgar (14:27):
Yeah, I mean it makes sense. He looks like he's on
edge anyways. Probably not agood match.
Erika (14:32):
No, probably not.
Edgar (14:33):
Mm-mm.
Erika (14:35):
Okay, so the next story is, gave away free cupcakes at
work. Got told they weren'tinclusive enough. I bought two
dozen cupcakes in the officelast Friday. Just a nice mix I
baked at home, vanilla,chocolate, a few sprinkles. Left
them in the break room with anote that said, Free, enjoy.
About an hour later, someonesent a company wide email
(14:57):
saying, While I appreciate thegesture, it would have been nice
if they were gluten free orvegan options, so everyone could
enjoy. Then added aggressiveline like, Let's try to be more
mindful when sharing food incommon spaces. They were free.
I'm not a bakery. I didn'trealize bringing cupcakes made
me head of dietary inclusivity.
(15:20):
Next time I'm bringing nothingbut a locked Tupperware and a
spoon, for me only.
Edgar (15:26):
I feel like with that kind of response, I hope we
should have responded by makingjust gluten free like cupcakes
but it's not actually glutenfree.
Erika (15:36):
No, stop. Some people are allergic. You could kill
someone. What you mean?
Edgar (15:42):
Feel like that's the worst way to die. It's painful,
but just imagine your tombstonedied of gluten. A funny
Erika (15:50):
dude. You should not do that. I think he just sometimes
it sucks being nice becausepeople are like this. Mhmm. Like
have you ever been nice tosomebody and then it was like
getting slapped?
Edgar (16:02):
Yeah.
Erika (16:03):
What? What did you do?
Edgar (16:05):
I treat Selena, the dog, really nicely and she still
bites me when I try to give herkisses. In the face, too.
Erika (16:14):
Don't say that.
Edgar (16:15):
I love her still.
Erika (16:17):
No, she doesn't like being, well, she got neutered
and she has really sensitivebelly and she doesn't like
anybody kissing it. She lovesbelly rubs though. She loves it.
She goes to you, turns aroundand then you see her belly like,
Give me the rubs. But shedoesn't like anybody kissing it
(16:38):
except for me.
And you're jelly and you want tokiss her belly and I tell you
all the time, don't do it. Don'tdo it and you don't listen. So
that's why she she doesn't biteyou, she almost bites you. She
growls at you.
Edgar (16:52):
Yeah, she gives me horny shots.
Erika (16:54):
Yeah, but she doesn't bite you bite you. She's very
sensitive with her belly.
Edgar (16:59):
And that's a time when I felt betrayed for being nice.
Erika (17:04):
She loves you, but she just doesn't like you being
kissed in the belly, except forme. Alright, so top comment is,
one time at work I was justcraving sugar or something junk
food and the vending machine hadthis huge bag of gummy bears. I
bought it and got my rubbish andthen asked my coworker if
anybody wanted some. A few did,but one person gave me a stink
(17:27):
face when I offered her andannounced she was diabetic and
next time I should consideroffering a healthy treat. I
simply said, no worries, I won'toffer you next time.
Edgar (17:36):
That's crazy. What is that?
Erika (17:41):
I'd be like, you know what?
Edgar (17:43):
Some people are just born miserable.
Erika (17:45):
I would, this is what, I don't like to be nice to, or I
think I'm a very nice person,but sometimes you have to have a
limit.
Edgar (17:57):
Mhmm.
Erika (17:57):
And when you're nice to people because people just are
assholes and they don't deserveit. Okay, so what's the final
verdict?
Edgar (18:07):
I say that OP is not the asshole for trying to give
treats to everybody but happensto not bake gluten free treats.
Erika (18:17):
Yeah, I mean, no.
Edgar (18:18):
That's like such a niche thing to make too. And it's like
very difficult, from what I'veheard.
Erika (18:23):
Yeah, exactly. Okay, another top comment was, If she
wants healthy treats, she canbring her own snacks. That's it.
That simple.
Edgar (18:32):
The next story is titled, I didn't let my husband eat my
sandwich. My husband and I werechilling on the couch and I
mentioned I was hungry. I placedan order from one of our
favorite sandwich shops. I askedhim three times about ordering
if he would like one as well andhe said no three times. And he
had just had breakfast andwasn't hungry.
The sandwich arrived and I cutoff a small bit of it to eat
(18:56):
then and save the rest forlater. I don't have a large
appetite. I'm kind of a grazer,like a cow.
Erika (19:03):
Oh, it's, I don't know, it's kind of weird.
Edgar (19:06):
Weird way to describe your eating habits.
Erika (19:08):
But
Edgar (19:08):
I take one bite and he says, Oh, I want a bite of that.
And I said, Why didn't you orderone yourself? Then he said, I
wasn't hungry until I smelledyours. That's very convenient
for him. And I ended up lettinghim have about three bites of
mine and told him to order hisown.
I don't like sharing food unlessit's planned and he knows this.
(19:29):
We've been together for tenyears and I literally have to
hide snacks from him because hewill find them and eat them
because I don't eat all of it atonce. He orders the sandwich.
It's a thirty minute deliveryand he wants another bite of
mine. And then I said, No.
Now I'm the crazy selfishhypocrite who won't share food
(19:49):
and he has now brought up everymeal we've ever had the past two
weeks as an example of his foodgenerosity. Mind you, every meal
was planned to be shared. Now wearen't speaking. Am I the
asshole?
Erika (20:02):
Absolutely not.
Edgar (20:04):
I mean, they don't really seem that compatible. We always
share food, either planned ornot, and I feel like we're okay
with it. And I feel like that'ssomething good, happy couples
like doing in general. Like ifyou really didn't like the
person, you wouldn't likesharing the food or you wouldn't
make the sacrifice or compromiseto share food.
Erika (20:24):
It's not just about that. Think it's just all the time,
you you can't change somethingthat you don't like. So she is
willing to compromise and planwhen to share the food, which is
fine. Yeah. But when there's noplanning and he still wants to
share, and she did give himthree bites, And now he has to
(20:46):
wait thirty minutes for hisfood, but he wants to continue
eating her food.
Doesn't that frustrate you?
Edgar (20:52):
It's like some of these people have like two thoughts
going on in their head and theydon't communicate with each
other.
Erika (20:57):
I guess. I mean, if she would have said, 'Okay, so you
have another bite then I havethree bites from your sandwich.'
We share your sandwich.
Edgar (21:04):
Exactly, yeah. But, I mean, she didn't think well
saying that, but I feel likeOP's husband or whatever
probably wouldn't like the idea.
Erika (21:13):
Yeah.
Edgar (21:14):
Because he's a hungry little boy.
Erika (21:16):
Something else. Yeah, I just, it's frustrating because
all he had to do was order andsaid, Yeah, just order me one,
two. That's all it was.
Edgar (21:26):
All he had to do was fast. No. All had to do then
this would have been avoided.
Erika (21:30):
All he had to do was order and say, Yeah, just order
me a sandwich, he would have hadhis own sandwich. Crisis
averted. But he said no,repeatedly. Yeah, I don't think
OP is the asshole here. Thehusband is.
The top comment is, Not theasshole. Does he have issues
with food or is he selfish andself assured by nature? OP
(21:51):
responded, He eats everything helikes in the house because it's
there. He wants it. I can leavea package of chocolates in the
fridge for three months and haveone every week or so.
He eats the whole package in aday. Why I have to hide my
snacks from him? That's crazy.
Edgar (22:07):
I know.
Erika (22:08):
Would be
Edgar (22:08):
so That kitchen must be on lockdown.
Erika (22:11):
Like that's, I mean, how do finish the whole package?
Edgar (22:15):
He must be like three hundred, four hundred pounds
Erika (22:18):
at Oh sometimes people have fast metabolism so, you
know.
Edgar (22:22):
But he's eating like junk food.
Erika (22:24):
Maybe he's a, so then OP, somebody said, So is he
completely selfish then or is ita compulsive eating thing? He's
a compulsive eater. I have tohide my snacks for him. If he
sees it, he eats it. And I havea really big issue with my food
that I have saved for laterdisappearing.
I'm just ordering two next time.
Edgar (22:43):
Dang. The OP's boyfriend's eating habit is
going to financially ruin themforever.
Erika (22:51):
Or his health. Like, eating like that is not healthy
for you either.
Edgar (22:56):
Is it your final verdict?
Erika (22:58):
No, I would say nah, she's not the asshole. He needs
therapy
Edgar (23:02):
for
Erika (23:02):
compulsively
Edgar (23:02):
He needs a diet.
Erika (23:08):
Alright, so the next story is, I lied on my resume to
get a job I wasn't reallyqualified for and now I'm
actually good at it. I wasbroke, desperate, and tired of
all the rejection emails. Onenight I just snapped and rewrote
my resume like it was a fanficcharacter. At a scale that
didn't actually have, projects Inever did, even made a fake
(23:29):
consulting gig that soundedfancy, but was really just
helping me, helping my cousinwith a site once. I applied a
bunch of jobs, got someinterviews, learned some
buzzwords, watched a ton ofYouTube tutorials, and just
hoped no one would dig too deep.
And then one company actuallyhired me. Remote job, decent
pay, full benefits, I almostpassed out. LOL. First month was
(23:52):
rough, imposter syndrome,googling everything, constantly
panicking whenever someoneSlacked Slacked me?
Edgar (24:00):
Yeah, Slacked us like a chat app for work.
Erika (24:04):
Oh, okay, I know that. But I kept showing up, kept
learning, faked confidence untilI didn't fake anymore. Fast
forward like six months and nowI'm actually a good worker.
Like, people come to me withquestions. I hit my KPIs.
I trained the new intern lastweek. My boss called me a core
member, and I almost spit mycoffee out. I'm still weird
(24:28):
about how it started, but alsoif I hadn't lied, I would have
never gotten the chance, and nowI'm not really lying anymore. I
am that person. Just took aweird detour to get here.
Maybe the whole system's brokenif the only way to get in is to
pretend you already belong.
Edgar (24:45):
Yeah, I agree with that sentiment. Like also the
interview process is kind ofbroken in general. Do you know
what Cluely is?
Erika (24:54):
No, it's not.
Edgar (24:55):
So yeah, this is big on tech Twitter, but Cluely is an
app that this guy made and thisguy, he just dropped out of
Columbia University. What he didwas he went into the college in
the search to find a co founderand then he created this product
where he would go intodetectional interviews like
(25:15):
Google, Amazon, and you havebasically AI in the background
telling him all the answers tothe interview questions. So all
you gotta do is just repeat backand write the code that the AI
tells him to do. And he was ableto get five job offers for that.
Oh wow.
But as soon as they found outall of the jobs were sending
their offers and then Columbiakicked him out of college.
Erika (25:36):
That's crazy.
Edgar (25:37):
And now he has his own company called Clueli, where
he's basically creating thatcheating service, but for
everything. He wants to do itfor dates, for when you're
talking to your accountant.
Erika (25:48):
That's great.
Edgar (25:50):
Yeah, but that's a valuable lesson. The system as
it is isn't really workinganymore and if someone
bullshitter like him could getin and still do reasonably well,
I feel like we're not measuringthe correct thing. Because maybe
he had it in him to kind ofgrind it out, you know?
Erika (26:05):
Yeah, I mean as long as you're a hard worker, I feel
like you could learn anythingand you're a fast learner. Don't
think you should be limited. Butit's just, I mean he got lucky.
Edgar (26:15):
He got super lucky. But yeah, think he has like, I feel
like he cares enough to want tolook up all these things and not
be a burden to his team andstuff.
Erika (26:26):
Yeah, because he cared. Exactly.
Edgar (26:29):
That and he probably got paid super well, or more better
than he was paid before, so hedidn't want to lose that.
Erika (26:35):
And he had full benefits too, it's hard to find a job to
It's like literally perfect. Sothe top comment is the most
inspiring thing I've heard inthe last year. If only everyone
was such a self starter,resourceful, and a go getter.
And next is starting your ownbusiness on the side until it
makes more than you make. Thenhiring yourself out of work of
(26:57):
the company you built orautomating it using AI if
possible.
Go after it and go get it. Ibelieve in you. That's a nice
comment.
Edgar (27:05):
Yeah, if you can like do this, like go to a job that you
have like no knowledgequalifications for and then
succeed in it, you can probablydo most of the things. Exactly.
With enough determination.
Erika (27:19):
Remember how you were talking and you were telling me
that school makes you to be aworker but not a leader?
Edgar (27:25):
Yeah, that and also it doesn't teach you to be like a
problem solver or a creative. Ifeel like a lot of kids these
days aren't creative anymore.They need like some sort of
stimulus or they need to likesee something in order to
imagine it. Don't you rememberwhen you were younger when you
had like your own toys and youhad to imagine your own
scenarios or your own things tokeep yourself entertained?
Erika (27:44):
Yeah, I mean, we do use technology way more than we used
to before. I mean, we didn'thave tablets, we didn't have
computers or whatever or GameBoys like that. We just had to
be.
Edgar (27:57):
Exactly, yeah. But the thing is we have all this
technology now, but we're ableto at least do a little bit more
of it. We just use it as anextension of ourselves because
these days that's all they havefrom as soon as they're able to
walk, they have that.
Erika (28:12):
I know.
Edgar (28:14):
So that's all they are.
Erika (28:16):
Yeah. I think it's good and bad because then, you
instead of using you should useAI or whatever, the computer, to
enhance your learning or helpyou learn something, not just
use AI for everything to giveyou answers because then you're
not learning anything. You'renot growing. You're not doing
something new.
Edgar (28:37):
You're basically just borrowing all that knowledge and
all that skills, but it's notskills and knowledge you
actually have.
Erika (28:44):
Exactly. So I think it's important to use technology, not
replace your thinking andcritical thinking skills with
it.
Edgar (28:53):
Mhmm, that's why I feel like a lot of kids these days
are kind of screwed. Becausewe're in a new paradigm with AI
and all this technology was justbeing thrown at kids and young
people's faces and we'd havethem figure out a good system
for them to take it inappropriately and responsibly.
Erika (29:13):
Yeah, definitely.
Edgar (29:14):
So I guess we'll see in ten, twenty years if everyone
turns how it goes, if they turnout socially awkward or if they
become 10 times more awesomethan we ever could be.
Erika (29:23):
Yeah, I mean, could go both ways. So what's the final
verdict for you?
Edgar (29:28):
For this? I think, yeah, he's I don't
Erika (29:31):
think it's It's not I'm an asshole story. It's just more
like I have say.
Edgar (29:34):
I agree with him. You should lie on your resume in
order to get your job. That islegal advice.
Erika (29:41):
Wouldn't say lie. I would just say, I mean, if you had
experience of somehow, youshould put it in your resume.
Edgar (29:46):
Yeah. If you wanna be like this guy and have like a
remote job that pays well andyou don't have to worry and
people respect you, you can alsolie on your resume.
Erika (29:55):
I'm not encouraging lying. I'm I'm not doing that.
Edgar (29:59):
Nephew is listening this. New strategy, guys.
Erika (30:02):
No. No. No. My nephew's listened to this so I can't be
can't be supporting lying so I'mnot doing that.
Edgar (30:09):
The next story is titled, Am I the Asshole for Asking My
Friend's Boyfriend to Carry MyGroceries When I Was Wearing a
Wrist Brace? So I, 30 female,was sleeping over at my friend's
for the weekend. I had surgeryon my wrist a couple months ago.
On bad days they wear soft braceand I offered to go get a few
(30:29):
things for breakfast and cameback with life free grocery
bags. The boyfriend, 32 male,opens the door for me, sees my
arm full and I'm like, Can youbring these to the kitchen
please?
And he said, Yeah of course. AndI handed them over to him. No
weird vibes, we all had lunch,laughed, and even went out that
day. That night however, myfriend informed me I was really
(30:51):
inappropriate by having askedhim to do physical stuff for me.
And she added that he hasboundaries about doing more
mundane favors for other womentoo, like food deliveries and
gets uncomfortable about it, butis too polite to refuse.
And it sounded like she made itas if I had disrespected their
relationship. Honestly I figuredthat was just a polite question
(31:13):
to ask. He wasn't sayinganything or reacting strangely.
I danked him like three times.Now I feel awk as F and I don't
know if I overstepped.
You mighty asshole.
Erika (31:26):
No girl, you're not.
Edgar (31:28):
This is like a weird dynamic. Like I'm sure like
there's some like couples thatlook at this and like, oh this
is cute, this is like havingboundaries and respecting your
relationship, like this is it.But for me this is not it.
Erika (31:41):
No no, I don't think having boundaries and respecting
each other is not a bad thing. Ithink that's great. But this
type of boundaries is kind ofout of whack for me.
Edgar (31:54):
I know. I feel like there was no romantic tension in this.
It was just like, Oh, I reallycan't do this by myself because
I have a wrist brace. Can youjust help me for a second or
two?
Erika (32:07):
She had wrist surgery not too long ago.
Edgar (32:09):
Exactly, and this couple knows this already. But I like
to think that the boyfriendwasn't actually uncomfortable
with this. I feel like thegirlfriend probably saw this and
was like, why'd you do that toher? Why'd you do that for her?
Do you like her?
Then just broke them.
Erika (32:23):
Probably jealous, yeah. She's jealous type.
Edgar (32:26):
Super jealous? Because I imagine the boyfriend person
probably trying to make a move.It didn't look like he was
trying to make a move.
Erika (32:32):
No, he saw her with three bags, a wrist brace, and she
wanted to help. There's nothingwrong with that.
Edgar (32:38):
I know. What was the alternative? Just look at an OP
struggling and be like, Damn,sucks to be you.
Erika (32:45):
Exactly, I don't get it.
Edgar (32:46):
I feel like that would have been red flags for OP's
neighbors or whatever, a coupleof friends.
Erika (32:52):
Yeah, then it would have been like, Yeah, your boyfriend
just saw me struggle and didn'tsay anything.
Edgar (32:56):
Yeah, it's a little bit psychotic actually.
Erika (32:58):
Yeah, so the top comment is, Not the asshole. I'm willing
to bet that he didn't even havea problem with it. Your friend
did. What he did literallydidn't even take that long.
She's totally overreacting.
And then OP actually responded,Exactly. He grabbed a few bags,
walked to the kitchen, and thatwas it. I didn't think asking
for help would turn into somekind of betrayal. Yeah. She has
(33:20):
problems.
Edgar (33:21):
Exactly, yeah.
Erika (33:23):
Poor guy. If he's like, if she's having issues like
this, I can't even imagine aboutother stuff. Like, you can't
even look at girls, like, youcan't even stare at them, you
can't even, like, be in somecertain feet with them, like,
it's crazy.
Edgar (33:37):
That house isn't a home, it's his prison.
Erika (33:41):
He probably, the poor OP, OPs, no, I think the boyfriend
needs to think about therelationship and see if it's
worth it.
Edgar (33:51):
A final verdict?
Erika (33:52):
I don't think she's overreacting or that she
overstepped anything and she'snot the asshole.
Edgar (33:58):
Yeah, OP was definitely not acting in the wrong, and
neither was a boyfriend. I thinkthis is all onto the
girlfriend's issues.
Erika (34:06):
So, next story is, Should I have called the police? Okay,
so I, female, 16, was in a walkin the forest near my house.
Legit, don't even live two milesaway from it. I've walked there
for months and done it almostdaily. Today I walked and I was
on a call with a friend while Iwas walking.
(34:26):
Some man who looked about 50years old, which I've never seen
before, walked over to me andsaid, Hey, you look pretty. Just
so you know, if anything happensto you out here, no one will
hear you. I backed off and hesaid, I don't want to make you
uncomfortable, which honestlymade me even more scared. I
(34:47):
walked off and asked my friendon the phone if I should call
the police, and I did. Theoperator was nice, but the
second he made me talk to thepolice made me wonder if I
should have called or not.
The police sounded clearlyannoyed by the call and just
told me to go home if I could.I'm safe now. Did I overreact?
Edgar (35:06):
I do not think she overreacted. I feel like that's
like a very creepy thing to havespoken to you.
Erika (35:12):
Yeah. A 50 year old man say that to a 16 year old.
Edgar (35:16):
That's weird.
Erika (35:18):
Oh, you're really pretty and you shouldn't be here, like
walking here. Like, if somethinghappens to you, no one can hear
you. Why you I would have ran sofast, I would have called the
police, ran fast, I would havenever gone walking. And also
like, I think when you have aroutine, you should also be
careful because you just neverknow what type of creeps are
watching you. You should alwaysdo something different,
(35:40):
especially if you like walkevery day at a certain time,
change your time, change yourlike route, it's just in case.
Always keep it different, not aroutine where they know when
you're going there or they knowwhere you're gonna be. And
always, I would say buddysystem. Always go walking with
your boyfriend or somebody ifpossible, or even with your dog.
(36:05):
So I think it's great to be fitand all that, but you have to
always think about your safety.
Edgar (36:11):
Yeah, that's why I have no schedule. Oh my
Erika (36:14):
god. Yeah, but you're something else with that. But I
think it's important to also,you know, I'm glad that she
called the police even thoughthe police didn't seem like it
was much of anything. But shedid her due diligence and maybe
if somebody else called aroundthat time then they know it's
not just one person that's beingharassed or whatever.
Edgar (36:34):
I feel like it's just a dangerous situation in general
for that community because theyhave someone like that walking
around within it And likeeventually he's gonna act up and
do something.
Erika (36:43):
Yeah, I mean, I used to run all the time by myself when
I was in my early twenties, 18,19, 20, whatever. I used to run
all by myself in like the forestor whatever and now I think
about it, now that I'm likeolder I'm like, I was crazy.
Edgar (37:00):
I know.
Erika (37:01):
Like I should have, and I used to run like an early
morning or an afternoon all bymyself and I just been like, my
parents used to tell me, Don'tdo it! And I just like, No. But
now that I'm older I'm like,Yeah, I definitely wouldn't go
by myself anymore. Okay, so thetop comment is, You didn't
overreact at all. That wascreepy and threatening as hell.
Trust your gut every time andkeep calling stuff like that and
(37:22):
screw how the cop feels aboutit.
Edgar (37:24):
Yeah, don't know what the other cop was thinking. Probably
it was just like too bored orjust like too lazy to do
anything actual.
Erika (37:31):
Just some people, some cops just don't care. Just like
how you have good cops that dowhat they need to do, you have
cops that could care less.
Edgar (37:39):
Yeah, which is unfortunate. Yeah. So final
verdict?
Erika (37:43):
You did not overreact OP, I'm glad you called the police
and just keep aware of yoursurroundings and your safety.
Edgar (37:53):
Yeah, agree, Jia. Just be extra careful, especially with
this guy lurking around.
Erika (37:58):
Yeah, especially two miles away from her house. I
hope he didn't follow her oranything like that. That's so
scary. So that's all the storieswe have today. Thank you for

Yapping!
Erika (00:00):
Hello, this is Erika.
Edgar (00:02):
And Edgar.
Erika (00:03):
And we are the Yapping Schnauzers. We entertain you
with yap worthy stories we findaround the web. Today's theme is
Manners or Madness. The firststory is, Am I overreacting for
asking my husband why he gavehis mom my seat at graduation?
My husband, 33 male, and I, 31female, don't argue much, but
(00:25):
this one has me quietly boiling.
I graduated with my master'slast weekend. I worked full
time, raised our daughters twofemale, and pulled night classes
for two years to get here. Eachgraduate was given three guest
tickets. I gave mine to myhusband, my mom, and my sister.
Cool.
Day of graduation, I'm walkinginto the venue with my cap half
(00:47):
falling off and my husband wavesme over with his mom next to
him. I assumed she somehow got aticket, maybe from another
student. Nope. Later my sistertexts, Where are you sitting? I
said, Aren't you here?
And she replied, I didn't getin. No ticket. Apparently he
gave my sister's ticket to hismom without telling me. His
(01:10):
excuse? Your mom and your sisterwould have both cried anyway and
my mom's never seen yougraduate.
I told him that wasdisrespectful and he told me I
was being overly sensitive andmaking a scene over a seat. I
left dinner early, haven'treally spoken to him since. He
thinks I'm being called oversomething logistical, but I feel
hurt, blindsided. And am Ioverreacting?
Edgar (01:34):
So yeah, firstly it's just a little bit rude not to
clarify who's coming because Iguess everyone has expectations
about who was able to go stuff.When they told OP one thing, I
guess she was just blindsidedcompletely with who actually
came which was like OP'shusband's mom.
Erika (01:54):
Yeah, he just had no right to make that choice for
her especially if it's hergraduation, it's her moment. She
should choose who should go. Whygo ahead and say, well, I want
my mom to go?
Edgar (02:08):
Yeah, exactly. I imagine those three people that were
originally supposed to go werewhat OP wanted to come.
Erika (02:14):
Yeah, I mean, how would you have felt? Would you have
acted the same way? Would youhave been pissed or you would
have just let it go?
Edgar (02:22):
I feel like it would be a bit indifferent, but also I
don't really like graduationslike that. Like, I don't think
they're that important.
Erika (02:29):
How should he have handled it better?
Edgar (02:32):
Well, since they're in a relationship, or they're
married, they should have hadbetter communication about who
was actually going. It's like avery weaselly thing to be like,
Oh, didn't tell you because youwould have been pissed and
stuff. Exactly. Sometimes that'san acceptable excuse, but in
times like this where OP clearlycares about the graduation, he
(02:52):
should have been more direct andmore communicative about his
intentions.
Erika (02:57):
Well, he went behind her back. It wasn't just about
communication. It was about himknowing that she was not going
to be okay with it and lying toher and waiting for the last
minute to change her plans forsomething important.
Edgar (03:11):
Is this, like, divorce worthy for you?
Erika (03:16):
That's so
Edgar (03:17):
hard
Erika (03:17):
Or
Edgar (03:17):
this like a doghouse worthy?
Erika (03:20):
It's bizarre.
Edgar (03:22):
I say the very minimum is a doghouse worthy.
Erika (03:24):
Of course, but so I guess it depends if he has done
anything like this before.
Edgar (03:29):
Mhmm.
Erika (03:30):
You know, like if he has put his family first before
mine. Like let's say if it'sgraduation, of course his family
should go before yours, youknow? That's, it's like common
sense. But why is he adding hismother for this? Like I don't
understand.
Edgar (03:45):
Maybe the mother is very cool.
Erika (03:47):
No, there's just no excuse to it. It's like, I
don't, no. There's no excuse forwhat he did and I would
definitely would have beenreally pissed with him. I
wouldn't say divorce worthy, butI would have definitely ponder
the thought.
Edgar (04:05):
You could always just use AI to like, in the pictures,
make it so the people who youwanted to be were actually
there.
Erika (04:12):
No. That's not the same thing. Okay, so the top comment
is not overreacting. Yourhusband is awful. It was your
special day and your choice ofwho to give the tickets to.
Your sister traveled all the wayonly to have to stand outside.
He made your special day abouthim and his mom and then has the
audacity to tell you that you'rethe one with the problem. It
(04:33):
wasn't his choice to make andinstead of admitting that and
apologizing, he's victimblaming. 100%. Please stand
firm, OP, because this isn'tjust about graduation, it's
about respect.
If he doesn't respect you, thenhe's not marriage material.
Edgar (04:48):
They're already married though.
Erika (04:49):
Oh, well divorced. And then she edited it. This is
actually worse than I thoughtbecause he must have planned
this in advance and told his momto be there to get to the venue.
He let you and your sisterbelieve that she was getting the
ticket, but all in the while healready invited his mom and
hadn't told you. You are marriedto a colossal asshole.
(05:10):
Run. That's true. He lied inorder to get have this happen,
he lied to his sister and her
Edgar (05:18):
and told And mom probably. Because if I said, Oh,
you were invited. So I feel likethe mom isn't really at fault.
Erika (05:24):
I hope not. Because sometimes you always think of
good in people, but
Edgar (05:29):
I feel like everyone here was like, well at least everyone
invited, like, to travel a longway.
Erika (05:33):
It doesn't matter.
Edgar (05:35):
I mean, it matters in terms of the mom being innocent
or not because she's just a fakeWe don't know
Erika (05:42):
if she's innocent. We don't know.
Edgar (05:44):
We don't know if the OP is innocent.
Erika (05:48):
Yes. OP is innocent in this. Her husband is an asshole.
And
Edgar (05:53):
She knows she really knows how to pick them. Well,
Erika (05:57):
it's hard to show true colors. So I would say it
doesn't matter if whoevertraveled whatever, it doesn't
matter. It's about who shewanted to be there in her
special day and he ruined thatand lied to everybody. I'm
hoping he lied to themother-in-law, but who knows?
Edgar (06:16):
So final verdict?
Erika (06:17):
I would say he's the asshole. I would really think
about your marriage and reflect.
Edgar (06:22):
I say he's the asshole, but just every single mile that
the sister had to travel, that'show many days he has to be in
the doghouse for.
Erika (06:30):
Nah, dude. I'm so annoyed with this because it's just, he,
it's frustrating. I would say itdepends if it's divorce worthy.
If he's done something else likethis, that he has done something
that has put his family firstbesides OP, then I would say
(06:53):
divorce worthy. But if not, thisis his first offense, then I
would really reflect and see ifyou want to continue.
Edgar (07:02):
The next story is titled, Am I the Asshole for Getting
Upset at My Boyfriend forConstantly Eating My Food? My
boyfriend, 22 male, and I, 24male, have been dating for a
little over a year now. Ingeneral, we have a pretty good
relationship with hardly anymajor problems, except for one
on my end. He is constantlyeating my food. We don't live
(07:24):
together and work hecticschedules, so we eat out a lot.
We cook too, but this problemisn't present when we eat in.
Well this guy would literallyeat his food and then help
himself to mine. He won't askme, he won't even look at me,
but will just reach out to myplate and start eating. I was
feeling nauseous a couple weeksago when we went out for
(07:46):
burgers, so I took the wholething home. A few hours pass and
I'm feeling better and I try toeat.
And he literally grabs from myplate and just starts eating it.
After four of his butts, it wasmore than halfway gone. He does
this with drinks as well andwould drink anything I have with
me. My mom gave me an expensivebar of chocolate that I was
(08:08):
saving and he just went to mydresser and opened it and ate
half. It's driving me crazy thatI can't ever fully have a meal
or any kind of treats to myselfbecause he wants to eat it all
as well.
I've talked to him about it andI've met with the you're
overreacting, it's not a bigdeal. I thought we shared stuff.
(08:28):
But last weekend we went to themovies and I ordered some snacks
and a large drink. He orderedsome snacks and a medium drink,
so I took it upon myself andupgraded him to large. He tells
me he only wants a medium, and Iinsist that he takes the large.
He doesn't want one and tellsthe guy to make it a medium
anyways. So a little later,halfway through the movie, he
(08:48):
runs out of soda and grabs wine.He literally chugs like more
than half of it and I'm lost in.I screamed at him at the feeler,
Get your own drink, youshould've gotten something large
like I said. And everybodylooked at us.
He said it was very embarrassingand uncalled for in public. And
I agreed to an extent, but itwas the last straw for me. So,
(09:10):
am I the asshole?
Erika (09:12):
No. I think it's really annoying. He tried to
accommodate his boyfriend and hejust refused and then when
things went the wrong way or hegot pissed, the boyfriend's like
that was so uncalled for.
Edgar (09:28):
I don't get like especially with that feeder
situation, why didn't he takethe large drink? Clearly he's
very hungry all the time.
Erika (09:36):
Maybe he's trying to watch his weight.
Edgar (09:38):
Maybe and failing.
Erika (09:41):
Yeah, I think, I mean, you're always asking for food
and you're always hungry. And tosome extent, everybody,
including your family and myfamily, know that you eat a lot.
Edgar (09:54):
I know. Maybe too much.
Erika (09:57):
I don't know where it goes, but you're still thin
regardless of how much you eat.But, you know, we already know
this, so I'm used to you. So Icater for you, so, you know,
sometimes I, you don't eat this,I'm like, here, you could have
this. Or I share some of it orhalf of this goes that, except
for ice cream sometimes, I putmy foot down for ice cream.
Edgar (10:19):
I know, you barely give me any.
Erika (10:20):
Because I love ice cream you should have got your own.
I'm watching my figure. Yeahokay but you want my ice cream.
Edgar (10:28):
I only want like the chocolate parts.
Erika (10:30):
Yeah which is the best part exactly so no. I still say,
I mean, if it's issues, likelet's say you did that to me, I
would have been flipped out too.
Edgar (10:42):
In the theater?
Erika (10:43):
Yeah, would have flipped out.
Edgar (10:46):
Would you flip out even more if it was like ice cream in
the theater?
Erika (10:48):
Actually, know what, would have said no, you could go
get your large drink. That'swhat I would have said. I
wouldn't have screamed at you. Iwould have said no. This is my
drink.
I'm drinking it. Go get yourlarge drink.
Edgar (10:58):
That's crazy.
Erika (10:59):
Because if I wanted to order a large drink and you
denied that and even told thewaiter, no, I'm just gonna get a
medium.
Edgar (11:07):
And then end up drinking mine's anyways?
Erika (11:10):
Yeah. And then trying to drink mine after I told you to
get a large now. You you alwaysI would have said go order your
large drink.
Edgar (11:17):
And he literally drink, like, half the large drink too.
Erika (11:19):
I know, it's insane. Don't know. Think His
Edgar (11:22):
gator would destroy him.
Erika (11:24):
Yeah, he's also good like be I don't know if it's a lot of
people eating like that eitherfor anxiety or if it's also
because it's like gluttony whenyou're not you're just eating
because you just want to eat notbecause you're really hungry.
Edgar (11:40):
Yeah gluttony.
Erika (11:41):
I
Edgar (11:42):
feel like maybe he's just bored because have you noticed
like when you're in feeders youjust like kind of like keep
chewing on popcorn and notreally noticing what you're
eating.
Erika (11:50):
And you keep going, yeah, 100%.
Edgar (11:52):
I feel like it's sort of good, but also you're eating so
much calories because it reallyadds up. When we have nights out
with the kids or with friends,on Fridays we get three or four
bags of popcorn. That's like alot.
Erika (12:05):
Excuse me, don't usually eat it all the time.
Edgar (12:09):
I mean, know it's just us two, which is like in general.
It's just like a popcorn fest.
Erika (12:15):
Well I mean, in Costco they sell that big pack.
Edgar (12:18):
Yeah, 10 pounds of popcorn. Straight to our niece's
stomach. Her greed would destroyher.
Erika (12:25):
She just loves popcorn with salt and lemon. If you guys
haven't tried that, you shouldtotally try it. It's so good.
Edgar (12:31):
But don't put too much on it because she always puts way
too much and then my handsdissolve into like no, the
popcorn dissolves as my handtouches the popcorn.
Erika (12:39):
Yeah, it's a little bit soggy. I would say just sprinkle
it, you know? Don't necessarilydrown in it.
Edgar (12:46):
How about we just have popcorn with nothing in it?
Erika (12:49):
No, I love popcorn and lemon or lime, whatever. Both
are good. Okay, so the topcomment is, Why are you with
this guy still? He has norespect for your boundaries,
belittles you and your feelings,and refuses to compromise. Let
the asshole dump him for yourown sanity.
Edgar (13:07):
Is this dump boy thing?
Erika (13:08):
Yes.
Edgar (13:09):
You think
Erika (13:09):
so? 100%.
Edgar (13:10):
What did you have been together for like forty years?
Erika (13:12):
I don't give to him. I don't know. I would say dump
him. Because right now you'restill a boyfriend. Do you think
you could live like thisforever?
Because I don't think he's gonnachange. And he's showing you who
he really is. Are you gonna beliving like that for the rest of
your life? I don't think so.
Edgar (13:30):
OP's boyfriend isn't gonna live forever like this
though? Or live forever.
Erika (13:35):
Because he eats too much? Exactly. Well you don't know if
he goes to the gym order. Butregardless, don't think you
would want to live like that forthe rest of your life. I think
it's very frustrating.
You're gonna lose hair. You'regonna
Edgar (13:46):
He's already losing hair, I can tell.
Erika (13:48):
You're gonna get white hair from me. And you know, just
save your sanity, OP. Dump hisass.
Edgar (13:56):
So that's your final verdict?
Erika (13:58):
Yeah, how about you? What's your final verdict?
Edgar (14:00):
Just keep a stache.
Erika (14:02):
No, because he's an adult, he should know. No, he's
not a child. He should beaccounted, you know, be
accountable for what he's eatingand then be an adult for it, not
just accommodate him everysingle time. That's exhausting
for the other person.
Edgar (14:19):
Maybe it's a trauma response.
Erika (14:20):
It doesn't matter. If he doesn't want to deal with that,
then he doesn't have to. Nobodyhas to deal with your trauma.
Edgar (14:27):
Yeah, I mean it makes sense. He looks like he's on
edge anyways. Probably not agood match.
Erika (14:32):
No, probably not.
Edgar (14:33):
Mm-mm.
Erika (14:35):
Okay, so the next story is, gave away free cupcakes at
work. Got told they weren'tinclusive enough. I bought two
dozen cupcakes in the officelast Friday. Just a nice mix I
baked at home, vanilla,chocolate, a few sprinkles. Left
them in the break room with anote that said, Free, enjoy.
About an hour later, someonesent a company wide email
(14:57):
saying, While I appreciate thegesture, it would have been nice
if they were gluten free orvegan options, so everyone could
enjoy. Then added aggressiveline like, Let's try to be more
mindful when sharing food incommon spaces. They were free.
I'm not a bakery. I didn'trealize bringing cupcakes made
me head of dietary inclusivity.
(15:20):
Next time I'm bringing nothingbut a locked Tupperware and a
spoon, for me only.
Edgar (15:26):
I feel like with that kind of response, I hope we
should have responded by makingjust gluten free like cupcakes
but it's not actually glutenfree.
Erika (15:36):
No, stop. Some people are allergic. You could kill
someone. What you mean?
Edgar (15:42):
Feel like that's the worst way to die. It's painful,
but just imagine your tombstonedied of gluten. A funny
Erika (15:50):
dude. You should not do that. I think he just sometimes
it sucks being nice becausepeople are like this. Mhmm. Like
have you ever been nice tosomebody and then it was like
getting slapped?
Edgar (16:02):
Yeah.
Erika (16:03):
What? What did you do?
Edgar (16:05):
I treat Selena, the dog, really nicely and she still
bites me when I try to give herkisses. In the face, too.
Erika (16:14):
Don't say that.
Edgar (16:15):
I love her still.
Erika (16:17):
No, she doesn't like being, well, she got neutered
and she has really sensitivebelly and she doesn't like
anybody kissing it. She lovesbelly rubs though. She loves it.
She goes to you, turns aroundand then you see her belly like,
Give me the rubs. But shedoesn't like anybody kissing it
(16:38):
except for me.
And you're jelly and you want tokiss her belly and I tell you
all the time, don't do it. Don'tdo it and you don't listen. So
that's why she she doesn't biteyou, she almost bites you. She
growls at you.
Edgar (16:52):
Yeah, she gives me horny shots.
Erika (16:54):
Yeah, but she doesn't bite you bite you. She's very
sensitive with her belly.
Edgar (16:59):
And that's a time when I felt betrayed for being nice.
Erika (17:04):
She loves you, but she just doesn't like you being
kissed in the belly, except forme. Alright, so top comment is,
one time at work I was justcraving sugar or something junk
food and the vending machine hadthis huge bag of gummy bears. I
bought it and got my rubbish andthen asked my coworker if
anybody wanted some. A few did,but one person gave me a stink
(17:27):
face when I offered her andannounced she was diabetic and
next time I should consideroffering a healthy treat. I
simply said, no worries, I won'toffer you next time.
Edgar (17:36):
That's crazy. What is that?
Erika (17:41):
I'd be like, you know what?
Edgar (17:43):
Some people are just born miserable.
Erika (17:45):
I would, this is what, I don't like to be nice to, or I
think I'm a very nice person,but sometimes you have to have a
limit.
Edgar (17:57):
Mhmm.
Erika (17:57):
And when you're nice to people because people just are
assholes and they don't deserveit. Okay, so what's the final
verdict?
Edgar (18:07):
I say that OP is not the asshole for trying to give
treats to everybody but happensto not bake gluten free treats.
Erika (18:17):
Yeah, I mean, no.
Edgar (18:18):
That's like such a niche thing to make too. And it's like
very difficult, from what I'veheard.
Erika (18:23):
Yeah, exactly. Okay, another top comment was, If she
wants healthy treats, she canbring her own snacks. That's it.
That simple.
Edgar (18:32):
The next story is titled, I didn't let my husband eat my
sandwich. My husband and I werechilling on the couch and I
mentioned I was hungry. I placedan order from one of our
favorite sandwich shops. I askedhim three times about ordering
if he would like one as well andhe said no three times. And he
had just had breakfast andwasn't hungry.
The sandwich arrived and I cutoff a small bit of it to eat
(18:56):
then and save the rest forlater. I don't have a large
appetite. I'm kind of a grazer,like a cow.
Erika (19:03):
Oh, it's, I don't know, it's kind of weird.
Edgar (19:06):
Weird way to describe your eating habits.
Erika (19:08):
But
Edgar (19:08):
I take one bite and he says, Oh, I want a bite of that.
And I said, Why didn't you orderone yourself? Then he said, I
wasn't hungry until I smelledyours. That's very convenient
for him. And I ended up lettinghim have about three bites of
mine and told him to order hisown.
I don't like sharing food unlessit's planned and he knows this.
(19:29):
We've been together for tenyears and I literally have to
hide snacks from him because hewill find them and eat them
because I don't eat all of it atonce. He orders the sandwich.
It's a thirty minute deliveryand he wants another bite of
mine. And then I said, No.
Now I'm the crazy selfishhypocrite who won't share food
(19:49):
and he has now brought up everymeal we've ever had the past two
weeks as an example of his foodgenerosity. Mind you, every meal
was planned to be shared. Now wearen't speaking. Am I the
asshole?
Erika (20:02):
Absolutely not.
Edgar (20:04):
I mean, they don't really seem that compatible. We always
share food, either planned ornot, and I feel like we're okay
with it. And I feel like that'ssomething good, happy couples
like doing in general. Like ifyou really didn't like the
person, you wouldn't likesharing the food or you wouldn't
make the sacrifice or compromiseto share food.
Erika (20:24):
It's not just about that. Think it's just all the time,
you you can't change somethingthat you don't like. So she is
willing to compromise and planwhen to share the food, which is
fine. Yeah. But when there's noplanning and he still wants to
share, and she did give himthree bites, And now he has to
(20:46):
wait thirty minutes for hisfood, but he wants to continue
eating her food.
Doesn't that frustrate you?
Edgar (20:52):
It's like some of these people have like two thoughts
going on in their head and theydon't communicate with each
other.
Erika (20:57):
I guess. I mean, if she would have said, 'Okay, so you
have another bite then I havethree bites from your sandwich.'
We share your sandwich.
Edgar (21:04):
Exactly, yeah. But, I mean, she didn't think well
saying that, but I feel likeOP's husband or whatever
probably wouldn't like the idea.
Erika (21:13):
Yeah.
Edgar (21:14):
Because he's a hungry little boy.
Erika (21:16):
Something else. Yeah, I just, it's frustrating because
all he had to do was order andsaid, Yeah, just order me one,
two. That's all it was.
Edgar (21:26):
All he had to do was fast. No. All had to do then
this would have been avoided.
Erika (21:30):
All he had to do was order and say, Yeah, just order
me a sandwich, he would have hadhis own sandwich. Crisis
averted. But he said no,repeatedly. Yeah, I don't think
OP is the asshole here. Thehusband is.
The top comment is, Not theasshole. Does he have issues
with food or is he selfish andself assured by nature? OP
(21:51):
responded, He eats everything helikes in the house because it's
there. He wants it. I can leavea package of chocolates in the
fridge for three months and haveone every week or so.
He eats the whole package in aday. Why I have to hide my
snacks from him? That's crazy.
Edgar (22:07):
I know.
Erika (22:08):
Would be
Edgar (22:08):
so That kitchen must be on lockdown.
Erika (22:11):
Like that's, I mean, how do finish the whole package?
Edgar (22:15):
He must be like three hundred, four hundred pounds
Erika (22:18):
at Oh sometimes people have fast metabolism so, you
know.
Edgar (22:22):
But he's eating like junk food.
Erika (22:24):
Maybe he's a, so then OP, somebody said, So is he
completely selfish then or is ita compulsive eating thing? He's
a compulsive eater. I have tohide my snacks for him. If he
sees it, he eats it. And I havea really big issue with my food
that I have saved for laterdisappearing.
I'm just ordering two next time.
Edgar (22:43):
Dang. The OP's boyfriend's eating habit is
going to financially ruin themforever.
Erika (22:51):
Or his health. Like, eating like that is not healthy
for you either.
Edgar (22:56):
Is it your final verdict?
Erika (22:58):
No, I would say nah, she's not the asshole. He needs
therapy
Edgar (23:02):
for
Erika (23:02):
compulsively
Edgar (23:02):
He needs a diet.
Erika (23:08):
Alright, so the next story is, I lied on my resume to
get a job I wasn't reallyqualified for and now I'm
actually good at it. I wasbroke, desperate, and tired of
all the rejection emails. Onenight I just snapped and rewrote
my resume like it was a fanficcharacter. At a scale that
didn't actually have, projects Inever did, even made a fake
(23:29):
consulting gig that soundedfancy, but was really just
helping me, helping my cousinwith a site once. I applied a
bunch of jobs, got someinterviews, learned some
buzzwords, watched a ton ofYouTube tutorials, and just
hoped no one would dig too deep.
And then one company actuallyhired me. Remote job, decent
pay, full benefits, I almostpassed out. LOL. First month was
(23:52):
rough, imposter syndrome,googling everything, constantly
panicking whenever someoneSlacked Slacked me?
Edgar (24:00):
Yeah, Slacked us like a chat app for work.
Erika (24:04):
Oh, okay, I know that. But I kept showing up, kept
learning, faked confidence untilI didn't fake anymore. Fast
forward like six months and nowI'm actually a good worker.
Like, people come to me withquestions. I hit my KPIs.
I trained the new intern lastweek. My boss called me a core
member, and I almost spit mycoffee out. I'm still weird
(24:28):
about how it started, but alsoif I hadn't lied, I would have
never gotten the chance, and nowI'm not really lying anymore. I
am that person. Just took aweird detour to get here.
Maybe the whole system's brokenif the only way to get in is to
pretend you already belong.
Edgar (24:45):
Yeah, I agree with that sentiment. Like also the
interview process is kind ofbroken in general. Do you know
what Cluely is?
Erika (24:54):
No, it's not.
Edgar (24:55):
So yeah, this is big on tech Twitter, but Cluely is an
app that this guy made and thisguy, he just dropped out of
Columbia University. What he didwas he went into the college in
the search to find a co founderand then he created this product
where he would go intodetectional interviews like
(25:15):
Google, Amazon, and you havebasically AI in the background
telling him all the answers tothe interview questions. So all
you gotta do is just repeat backand write the code that the AI
tells him to do. And he was ableto get five job offers for that.
Oh wow.
But as soon as they found outall of the jobs were sending
their offers and then Columbiakicked him out of college.
Erika (25:36):
That's crazy.
Edgar (25:37):
And now he has his own company called Clueli, where
he's basically creating thatcheating service, but for
everything. He wants to do itfor dates, for when you're
talking to your accountant.
Erika (25:48):
That's great.
Edgar (25:50):
Yeah, but that's a valuable lesson. The system as
it is isn't really workinganymore and if someone
bullshitter like him could getin and still do reasonably well,
I feel like we're not measuringthe correct thing. Because maybe
he had it in him to kind ofgrind it out, you know?
Erika (26:05):
Yeah, I mean as long as you're a hard worker, I feel
like you could learn anythingand you're a fast learner. Don't
think you should be limited. Butit's just, I mean he got lucky.
Edgar (26:15):
He got super lucky. But yeah, think he has like, I feel
like he cares enough to want tolook up all these things and not
be a burden to his team andstuff.
Erika (26:26):
Yeah, because he cared. Exactly.
Edgar (26:29):
That and he probably got paid super well, or more better
than he was paid before, so hedidn't want to lose that.
Erika (26:35):
And he had full benefits too, it's hard to find a job to
It's like literally perfect. Sothe top comment is the most
inspiring thing I've heard inthe last year. If only everyone
was such a self starter,resourceful, and a go getter.
And next is starting your ownbusiness on the side until it
makes more than you make. Thenhiring yourself out of work of
(26:57):
the company you built orautomating it using AI if
possible.
Go after it and go get it. Ibelieve in you. That's a nice
comment.
Edgar (27:05):
Yeah, if you can like do this, like go to a job that you
have like no knowledgequalifications for and then
succeed in it, you can probablydo most of the things. Exactly.
With enough determination.
Erika (27:19):
Remember how you were talking and you were telling me
that school makes you to be aworker but not a leader?
Edgar (27:25):
Yeah, that and also it doesn't teach you to be like a
problem solver or a creative. Ifeel like a lot of kids these
days aren't creative anymore.They need like some sort of
stimulus or they need to likesee something in order to
imagine it. Don't you rememberwhen you were younger when you
had like your own toys and youhad to imagine your own
scenarios or your own things tokeep yourself entertained?
Erika (27:44):
Yeah, I mean, we do use technology way more than we used
to before. I mean, we didn'thave tablets, we didn't have
computers or whatever or GameBoys like that. We just had to
be.
Edgar (27:57):
Exactly, yeah. But the thing is we have all this
technology now, but we're ableto at least do a little bit more
of it. We just use it as anextension of ourselves because
these days that's all they havefrom as soon as they're able to
walk, they have that.
Erika (28:12):
I know.
Edgar (28:14):
So that's all they are.
Erika (28:16):
Yeah. I think it's good and bad because then, you
instead of using you should useAI or whatever, the computer, to
enhance your learning or helpyou learn something, not just
use AI for everything to giveyou answers because then you're
not learning anything. You'renot growing. You're not doing
something new.
Edgar (28:37):
You're basically just borrowing all that knowledge and
all that skills, but it's notskills and knowledge you
actually have.
Erika (28:44):
Exactly. So I think it's important to use technology, not
replace your thinking andcritical thinking skills with
it.
Edgar (28:53):
Mhmm, that's why I feel like a lot of kids these days
are kind of screwed. Becausewe're in a new paradigm with AI
and all this technology was justbeing thrown at kids and young
people's faces and we'd havethem figure out a good system
for them to take it inappropriately and responsibly.
Erika (29:13):
Yeah, definitely.
Edgar (29:14):
So I guess we'll see in ten, twenty years if everyone
turns how it goes, if they turnout socially awkward or if they
become 10 times more awesomethan we ever could be.
Erika (29:23):
Yeah, I mean, could go both ways. So what's the final
verdict for you?
Edgar (29:28):
For this? I think, yeah, he's I don't
Erika (29:31):
think it's It's not I'm an asshole story. It's just more
like I have say.
Edgar (29:34):
I agree with him. You should lie on your resume in
order to get your job. That islegal advice.
Erika (29:41):
Wouldn't say lie. I would just say, I mean, if you had
experience of somehow, youshould put it in your resume.
Edgar (29:46):
Yeah. If you wanna be like this guy and have like a
remote job that pays well andyou don't have to worry and
people respect you, you can alsolie on your resume.
Erika (29:55):
I'm not encouraging lying. I'm I'm not doing that.
Edgar (29:59):
Nephew is listening this. New strategy, guys.
Erika (30:02):
No. No. No. My nephew's listened to this so I can't be
can't be supporting lying so I'mnot doing that.
Edgar (30:09):
The next story is titled, Am I the Asshole for Asking My
Friend's Boyfriend to Carry MyGroceries When I Was Wearing a
Wrist Brace? So I, 30 female,was sleeping over at my friend's
for the weekend. I had surgeryon my wrist a couple months ago.
On bad days they wear soft braceand I offered to go get a few
(30:29):
things for breakfast and cameback with life free grocery
bags. The boyfriend, 32 male,opens the door for me, sees my
arm full and I'm like, Can youbring these to the kitchen
please?
And he said, Yeah of course. AndI handed them over to him. No
weird vibes, we all had lunch,laughed, and even went out that
day. That night however, myfriend informed me I was really
(30:51):
inappropriate by having askedhim to do physical stuff for me.
And she added that he hasboundaries about doing more
mundane favors for other womentoo, like food deliveries and
gets uncomfortable about it, butis too polite to refuse.
And it sounded like she made itas if I had disrespected their
relationship. Honestly I figuredthat was just a polite question
(31:13):
to ask. He wasn't sayinganything or reacting strangely.
I danked him like three times.Now I feel awk as F and I don't
know if I overstepped.
You mighty asshole.
Erika (31:26):
No girl, you're not.
Edgar (31:28):
This is like a weird dynamic. Like I'm sure like
there's some like couples thatlook at this and like, oh this
is cute, this is like havingboundaries and respecting your
relationship, like this is it.But for me this is not it.
Erika (31:41):
No no, I don't think having boundaries and respecting
each other is not a bad thing. Ithink that's great. But this
type of boundaries is kind ofout of whack for me.
Edgar (31:54):
I know. I feel like there was no romantic tension in this.
It was just like, Oh, I reallycan't do this by myself because
I have a wrist brace. Can youjust help me for a second or
two?
Erika (32:07):
She had wrist surgery not too long ago.
Edgar (32:09):
Exactly, and this couple knows this already. But I like
to think that the boyfriendwasn't actually uncomfortable
with this. I feel like thegirlfriend probably saw this and
was like, why'd you do that toher? Why'd you do that for her?
Do you like her?
Then just broke them.
Erika (32:23):
Probably jealous, yeah. She's jealous type.
Edgar (32:26):
Super jealous? Because I imagine the boyfriend person
probably trying to make a move.It didn't look like he was
trying to make a move.
Erika (32:32):
No, he saw her with three bags, a wrist brace, and she
wanted to help. There's nothingwrong with that.
Edgar (32:38):
I know. What was the alternative? Just look at an OP
struggling and be like, Damn,sucks to be you.
Erika (32:45):
Exactly, I don't get it.
Edgar (32:46):
I feel like that would have been red flags for OP's
neighbors or whatever, a coupleof friends.
Erika (32:52):
Yeah, then it would have been like, Yeah, your boyfriend
just saw me struggle and didn'tsay anything.
Edgar (32:56):
Yeah, it's a little bit psychotic actually.
Erika (32:58):
Yeah, so the top comment is, Not the asshole. I'm willing
to bet that he didn't even havea problem with it. Your friend
did. What he did literallydidn't even take that long.
She's totally overreacting.
And then OP actually responded,Exactly. He grabbed a few bags,
walked to the kitchen, and thatwas it. I didn't think asking
for help would turn into somekind of betrayal. Yeah. She has
(33:20):
problems.
Edgar (33:21):
Exactly, yeah.
Erika (33:23):
Poor guy. If he's like, if she's having issues like
this, I can't even imagine aboutother stuff. Like, you can't
even look at girls, like, youcan't even stare at them, you
can't even, like, be in somecertain feet with them, like,
it's crazy.
Edgar (33:37):
That house isn't a home, it's his prison.
Erika (33:41):
He probably, the poor OP, OPs, no, I think the boyfriend
needs to think about therelationship and see if it's
worth it.
Edgar (33:51):
A final verdict?
Erika (33:52):
I don't think she's overreacting or that she
overstepped anything and she'snot the asshole.
Edgar (33:58):
Yeah, OP was definitely not acting in the wrong, and
neither was a boyfriend. I thinkthis is all onto the
girlfriend's issues.
Erika (34:06):
So, next story is, Should I have called the police? Okay,
so I, female, 16, was in a walkin the forest near my house.
Legit, don't even live two milesaway from it. I've walked there
for months and done it almostdaily. Today I walked and I was
on a call with a friend while Iwas walking.
(34:26):
Some man who looked about 50years old, which I've never seen
before, walked over to me andsaid, Hey, you look pretty. Just
so you know, if anything happensto you out here, no one will
hear you. I backed off and hesaid, I don't want to make you
uncomfortable, which honestlymade me even more scared. I
(34:47):
walked off and asked my friendon the phone if I should call
the police, and I did. Theoperator was nice, but the
second he made me talk to thepolice made me wonder if I
should have called or not.
The police sounded clearlyannoyed by the call and just
told me to go home if I could.I'm safe now. Did I overreact?
Edgar (35:06):
I do not think she overreacted. I feel like that's
like a very creepy thing to havespoken to you.
Erika (35:12):
Yeah. A 50 year old man say that to a 16 year old.
Edgar (35:16):
That's weird.
Erika (35:18):
Oh, you're really pretty and you shouldn't be here, like
walking here. Like, if somethinghappens to you, no one can hear
you. Why you I would have ran sofast, I would have called the
police, ran fast, I would havenever gone walking. And also
like, I think when you have aroutine, you should also be
careful because you just neverknow what type of creeps are
watching you. You should alwaysdo something different,
(35:40):
especially if you like walkevery day at a certain time,
change your time, change yourlike route, it's just in case.
Always keep it different, not aroutine where they know when
you're going there or they knowwhere you're gonna be. And
always, I would say buddysystem. Always go walking with
your boyfriend or somebody ifpossible, or even with your dog.
(36:05):
So I think it's great to be fitand all that, but you have to
always think about your safety.
Edgar (36:11):
Yeah, that's why I have no schedule. Oh my
Erika (36:14):
god. Yeah, but you're something else with that. But I
think it's important to also,you know, I'm glad that she
called the police even thoughthe police didn't seem like it
was much of anything. But shedid her due diligence and maybe
if somebody else called aroundthat time then they know it's
not just one person that's beingharassed or whatever.
Edgar (36:34):
I feel like it's just a dangerous situation in general
for that community because theyhave someone like that walking
around within it And likeeventually he's gonna act up and
do something.
Erika (36:43):
Yeah, I mean, I used to run all the time by myself when
I was in my early twenties, 18,19, 20, whatever. I used to run
all by myself in like the forestor whatever and now I think
about it, now that I'm likeolder I'm like, I was crazy.
Edgar (37:00):
I know.
Erika (37:01):
Like I should have, and I used to run like an early
morning or an afternoon all bymyself and I just been like, my
parents used to tell me, Don'tdo it! And I just like, No. But
now that I'm older I'm like,Yeah, I definitely wouldn't go
by myself anymore. Okay, so thetop comment is, You didn't
overreact at all. That wascreepy and threatening as hell.
Trust your gut every time andkeep calling stuff like that and
(37:22):
screw how the cop feels aboutit.
Edgar (37:24):
Yeah, don't know what the other cop was thinking. Probably
it was just like too bored orjust like too lazy to do
anything actual.
Erika (37:31):
Just some people, some cops just don't care. Just like
how you have good cops that dowhat they need to do, you have
cops that could care less.
Edgar (37:39):
Yeah, which is unfortunate. Yeah. So final
verdict?
Erika (37:43):
You did not overreact OP, I'm glad you called the police
and just keep aware of yoursurroundings and your safety.
Edgar (37:53):
Yeah, agree, Jia. Just be extra careful, especially with
this guy lurking around.
Erika (37:58):
Yeah, especially two miles away from her house. I
hope he didn't follow her oranything like that. That's so
scary. So that's all the storieswe have today. Thank you for
