She told that manager to take a good look in the mirror. 

Fiancé's Family is Forcing This Bride to Ignore Her Cultural Norms at Her Own Wedding

This bride has made repeated concessions to her soon-to-be in-laws, giving in to their demands of having a traditional wedding according to their religious standards. The problem is that the bride is Japanese and would like to honor her culture by, at the very least, wearing her culture's traditional attire, the Shiromuku, and Iro-uchikake. She has already given in to having a traditional western-style ceremony and would like to preserve this one thing.

Her in-laws, including her fiancé, insist that she make further "compromises"  and wear a traditional western-style wedding dress. They refuse to acknowledge that their idea of a "compromise" involves having everything how they want it to be… When it's her wedding in the first place.

The bride posted this topic to Reddit's AITA subreddit (Am I the A--Hole); she posted the topic with the title "AITA for not wanting to wear a Western Wedding Dress at my wedding?" Wanting to appeal to readers and see if she was in the wrong for refusing to wear the dress that her in-laws wanted her to.

Comments are overwhelmingly taking her side and encouraging her to reconsider joining this family that is trying to white-wash her culture. 

Weird And Bad Design Failures That Could Have Gone Better

We're not gonna sit here and say we could make a better giant taco statue, but if it was our job to make big ceramic tacos that don't look like something fifty people have taken a dump in, we'd definitely say that we could make a better taco.

Designing things is a hard thing to do. You never know quite how something is gonna turn out in the end. Or, you probably should, but a lot of the people behind these seem to have flown by the seat of their pants, like Icarus, and got their pants burned, like a liar liar.

A minimal amount of forethought could probably have prevented a lot of this, but forethought is often in short supply so it is what it is. For some more times people put their design skills to the test and failed, here are design failures that could have used some effort.

Subtle Signs Someone Sucks As A Person

Life is short, and it's better to not spend your time around people who objectively suck. You know the type; the selfish, the entitled, the kind of people who will cut in line at a Starbucks, and when confronted start shouting about how they were there first. There isn't a whole lot you can do to makes someone stop being a jerk, so the best option has always been identifying someone's shitty nature and just not hanging out with them. The problem is that not all people are ubiquitously the worst, so it can be hard finding out which people suck. 

That's why it's a good idea to have a loose set of guidelines to tell if someone is the type of person who will leave you in the lurch or eventually betray you. And if you just see yourself in all of these things, it might be some time for self reflection, if you are even capable of that.

Fiancé Embarrassed By His Short Partner, Won't Let Her Take Off Her Shoes For Fear of Someone Realizing

This short woman was forced to wear high heels by her tall fiancé so that she could appear to be taller for their engagement photos, annnnd it might be time to call this engagement off. 

If one thing is for certain, your partner will be thrilled when you tell them to "Just suck it up" when they're uncomfortable with something you forced them to do. That's definitely going to win you brownie points and is the foundation of a healthy relationship.

This thread was posted to Reddit's r/AITA (Am I the A--Hole) subreddit by the short woman, who has been convinced by her fiancé's reaction that she was in the wrong to take off the heels (that he forced her to wear) in order to ease the suffering that they were causing her. She has posted to see what the reader's opinions are of the situation.

To be totally honest, the guy sounds like he has some major control issues, and this relationship does not seem like it is going to go in a good direction. We agree with the commenters that it might be time to call it quits on this one before it's too late.

Pathetic Boss's Email Demanding 3 Months Notice Is Laughably Insane, Motivates More To Quit

OP got this unhinged email from their boss about the "new terms" of quitting. The thing is, their boss doesn't actually have control over when someone can actually leave, so they might as well be wishing into a hole in the ground. In effect, this new rule only serves as incentive for people to quit with zero notice. Since these rules make no sense anyway, it's likely that having so many employees quit hurt the boss's feelings and they decided to go on a power trip to get their delusional sense of superiority back.

In their pathetic attempt to hold onto employees, they go as far to bring up "the children" as if that's a fair excuse for a boss to be an asshole in the first place. Make up as many rules as you want, it doesn't change anything.

For another example of a crap boss, here's the boss who declared fun illegal with a tone deaf poster.

Badly Behaved Mother-In-Law Rates Granddaughter's Piano Recitals, Mom Wants Her Gone

It's easy to write a script in your head any time a grandparent is mentioned that depicts them as the storybook 'benevolent grandparent,' but this isn't always the case. Some people are just a-holes. They always have been, and they always will be. True, some 'benevolent grandparents' were also a-holes when they were younger and parents themselves, but then mellowed out in their older years.

But, some people never change, and a-holes especially tend to fit into that category. After all, it's hard to experience growth, change, and increased strength of character when you think that you can do no wrong. Being blind to the very things that often influence development can lead you to be a bitter old hag, like this grandmother. 

The concerned mother in question posted this thread to r/AITA (Am I the A--hole) seeking reader's advice as to whether or not she is in the wrong for banning her mother-in-law from her daughter's recitals. She has repeatedly watched as her rude mother-in-law makes cruel and derogatory comments and exhibits rude behavior at her daughter's piano recitals. She has had enough of this behavior, and she wants her MIL gone. The problem is that her "Mama's boy" husband refuses to stand up to his mother and even takes the old crone's side.

Commenters have emphatically encouraged this mother to seek separation from her husband due to his behavior and try to get as far away from his family as possible. But, take this with a grain of salt because Redditors encourage divorce like WebMD diagnoses cancers.
