Man Tells Girlfriend To Stop Making TikToks About Them


Even though this guy's girlfriend might be putting together those TikToks out of the kindness of her heart, that doesn't mean that it's also not generating a whole lot of flack for the poor guy. The dude's already just trying to muddle through a reasonably peaceful life as a soldier on a military base. Last thing he needs is to get continually roasted by fellow soldiers on his base, for the ridiculous TikToks his girlfriend keeps churning out. Maybe if she just steered the focus away from their relationship, and put it on other stuff, it'd work out a bit better for everyone.

Text - AITA for telling my girlfriend she needs to stop making Tiktoks as they're so embarrassing? Not the A-hole I'm currently deployed and if you're unaware TikTok has a ridiculous amount of military users, its so fucking cringe. I swear Tiktok is like 90% cringy edgy preteens and teens, military, and creepy old men talking to the preteens. Anyways my girlfriend makes a lot of tiktoks about how much she misses me and about army girlfriend stuff. She'll post stuff like #armygf She also has a ra

Text - So here's some of the tiktoks she's made. She's done the classic "I'm coming home" song which plays over her hugging me when she meets me. There's millions of those on tiktok. SHe's posted tiktoks about how she upgraded when she dated me, putting pictures of me and her ex together, how she went from dating a boy to a man. She made another one about how she went from thinking one direction was her dream men, but then she met army men. She's made tiktoks going off about how much she misses

Text - a79j • 21h • Partassipant [2] NTA. Your problem is with her making Tiktoks related to you which is understandable. Think of it this way, if you put up embarrassing pictures of her which you think are cute just out of love and affection on the internet, would she be okay with it, even if she doesn't look her best or whatever? Same thing. Her actions are causing you difficulties and it's not a big sacrifice from her end to stop. Reply 604 ...

Text - 404brainnotf0und • 20h NTA. Seeing this type of attention seeking behavior makes me feel so embarrassed for you. Your relationship is between you and her, not her and her many followers. This is not a show of love. It's about her need to get attention from others and playing the "I miss my soldier" card is an effective way to do that. Also, posting your PRIVATE conversations is a major invasion of privacy. You are not in any way In the wrong for asking her to stop that at allI. The simple

If she has been on tiktok because it's something she enjoys and she's trying to express her love without realising how detrimental it is for you, than I don't think she's been an AH. Regardless of her intentions though, it is unnecessary and is making your situation harder than what it needs to be.

Horrible Managers That Employees Needed To Quit


The old saying about how people don't quit terrible jobs, they quit terrible managers, is certainly proven true in this AskReddit thread about some of the world's absolute worst bosses. Some people should never be put in a position of power, where they can make other employees' lives plain old miserable.

I took some days off and went to a hot spring with my now wife. Upon driving home I noticed my leg hurt and within 2r hours was in the hospital for an infection that would take 3 antibiotics at once to deal with. I called in sick 3 days in advance. My AGM told me it was cool, heal up, and that they would co er my shi

For the first week or so he was fine, until one day one of the 16 year old girls that usually works drive thru was put on the grill for no reason. She got grease on her shirt and the manager said she looked like a pig and to clean it or go home. She left crying. The next day anoth

She demanded unpaid overtime and is of the mindset that WFH is always going to be less productive than working in office, because she says she gets 1/4 of her own work done when WFH. She also volunteered our department as the pilot project to go back into the office when cases were at an all time high, but she herself was not coming in. In addition,

I became their maid too with no pay increase. Eventually it got even worse and I was basically her personal assistant. She got a taste of power and completely abused it. As a young 19 y

When I couldn't complete it that was the reason cited for not giving me a raise.
