Influencer Expects Artist To Sacrifice Integrity For Exposure


When oh when will these influencers ever get it through their thick skulls that exposure is not equivalent to payment. We have a wealth of artists in this wild world that are proactively trying to make it. They don't have the time or energy to put up with belligerent choosing beggars like we see here. Influencers are really out there operating on a different frequency. And not the good one.

Bride Wants Narcissistic Twin Sister Out Of Wedding


Many folks out there have a family member who just seems continually committed, if not addicted to being the center of attention. Some folks are just born into this world wanting all the attention all the time. If it's a family member, you'll often do your best to adapt to that big personality, but sometimes special, life-defining occasions arrive and you don't want to risk that narcissistic family member making your special day all about them. That would seem to be the case here with these twin sisters. It sounds like the twin sister in this scenario doesn't have a great track record of being selfless at all. For some more juicy wedding drama check out the most entitled bridezillas of 2020.

Text - r/AmltheAsshole + Join u/twindrama543 · 10h 2 WIBTA to not have sister as maid of honor after trying to outshine my engagement Sorry for bad formatting from cell phone and throw away account So my twin and I have always had this low key competition going on. She always had to be the center of attention. While growing up I just gave up and let it happen, it was easier than fighting. I never got to have my accomplishments recognized because she would always have something that everyone need

Text - Every family get together is all about her. From how much money she makes at her new job, or how horrible her bosses treat her so she quits, to how her life is so difficult and we wouldn't understand(8 hr job with 30 min commute), or how easy my life is because I just go to school and work part time. She is very narcissistic. And never thinks about how her actions or words effect people. She started dating a guy last year and he proposed to her after only dating for 4 months. (I'm not hat

Text - Last week my bf of 7 yrs proposed. I was super excited. I called my family members crying with the news. Not even 48 hrs afterwards, my sister started sharing pictures of her and her husband in a photo shoot saying "since she is never going to get the wedding she always dreamed of she decided to get these done as a gift for the family". They were hastily done photos done by their friend and not a professional. Here's where I may be the AH. I told my mother that I don't want my sister to b

Text - FiniteCommunist · 3h NTA - I actually see this situation going two ways. Either your sister is MOH and sucks, takes away all the attention, finds multiple ways to steal the spotlight and just altogether ruins your day. If your sister is the 'secret' MOH and your friend is the 'real' one, there will inevitably be a fight where sister realizes she isn't maid of honor, or she will again steal the spotlight and be insufferable. If you ask your friend to be MOH, you will probably deal with som

If your family has been blind to it for this long they're not going to change - your mom is never going to stop wanting/willing you guys to be bestie

Text - PearlClutchingNinny · 2h NTA but realize no matter what you do your sister is going to show her ass and try to steal the spotlight on your day.

She showed up at the wedding in a red satin dress cut to her navel. We've been married 35 years now and my family still talks about the wedding that X showe

Text - Muncie4 · 2h NTA. Know who gets to pick your bridal party? You. If you want Elvis, Hitler and JFK to stand up for you, that's your right. There is no requirement that family be in the bridal party. There is a tradition that you have younger person, a single person and a married person but people often break those traditions with ease. Invite who you like for your party and if anyone doesn't like it, that's on them. Reply 1 Vote 3 •..

You need someone who has your back who will not cause drama, and I think we both know your sister is going to try to sabotage something. You might want to consider having someone on sister duty to make sure she doesn't show up at your wedding in a wedding dress or announce right before your vows that she's pregnant. Reply Vote ...

Tech Calls Customer About Internet Being Down, There's A Literal Fire


In all fairness, the tech support was just trying to be proactive in letting their customer know that the internet was down and being monitored. There was absolutely no way for them to know that said internet happened to be down because of a raging fire. Gotta love that automated response there at the end too. Check out another glory story from the tech support world with this man who insisted that he knew more about IT than IT, and then learned differently. 

1.

Text - r/talesfromtechsupport + Join u/Universal_Binary · 3y 1 "Your Internet link is down." "That might be because it's on fire." Short This is my all-time favorite interaction with tech support. Late one December evening a number of years ago, I got an unexpected call from my boss. He said there was a fire at the office, and I might want to come in and see what was going on. So I did. By the time I got there, the fire was on its way out, and I and a couple dozen others were standing around in

2.

Text - We had Internet service through an awesome local ISP at the time. The kind of small company that really cared about service. While I was shivering next to a fire truck, my cell phone rang. It was one of their techs, whom I had shared on office with at a different company years ago and knew well. | Me: Hello? Tech: Hi, this is $TECH from $ISP. Just wanted to let you know that our monitoring noticed your Internet link is down, and we're working on it. Me: That might be because it's on fire.

3.

Text - Me: Yeah, there was a fire in the building. I'm standing next to a fire truck right now. They aren't letting us in yet. Then, without missing a beat, $TECH said something he never said at that ISP (remember, premium service): Tech: Ah, well OK then. I'll assume the problem is on your end. click Despite the cold and the uncertainty (how badly damaged was the office, etc), I couldn't help laughing at the absurdity of it all.

4.

Text - Because $ISP was awesome, less than 5 minutes later he called back to say, "I just checked, and we have two portable generators that aren't in use right now. If you need them, just say the word, and I can have them there in 2 hours, any time, day or night. No charge." Our contract with them had nothing in it about generators. 9.0k 372 ↑, Share

Ultima Online Gamer Nukes Fellow Players Out Of Orbit


If you spend enough time endlessly wandering the massive realm of an online roleplaying world you're apt to encounter some fellow players that are just petty, evil masterminds. Anyone ever get baited to wander into the wilderness in Runescape, then get surprise ko'ed, and lose all of your stuff that you spent hours acquiring. Well, with that being said we can't say we've ever seen a player pull off such an unforgettable, hilarious, absolutely vicious nuclear revenge. The attention to detail when it comes to this revenge is what elevates it to being nothing short of art.

Text - yes-sica God I spent countless hours as a teen playing on a heavily modded and roleplay enforced ultima online server. I played Cedric Sartone, simple farmer turned tavern owner who eventually turned it into THE BEST PLACE IN TOWN. It was poppin every night, I was buddies with every adventurer, soldier, mage, druid, and rangor that played the game. After thoy went out and grinded their skills and did their quests, I was waiting for them with a warm fire and plenty of ale. I'd buy their in

4.

Text - Little did they know I had a side hobby, I was brewing massive amounts of the most gamebreakingly toxic poison possible. For over a year I roleplayed with these people as a simple barman, pretended to be their friend and confidant, and then during a harvest festival where every player on our server was in attendance and I was payed to provide the food and drink. I poisoned every last morsel of food, every drop of drink and after the reagent delivered his speech and all of these fools rais

5.

Text - Now this was a permanent death server (hardcore rpers mind you) and some had been playing those characters for 8 years and there they all were, collapsed and dying. Soon they were all unconscious, as you could only die if you went unconscious three times in one day or if a certain psychotic bartender came and cut off your head... which I did to every player in our group of 38. They were all there, and unfortunately so was I. Revenge against what, you ask?

6.

Text - So the server had a pretty strict policy regarding pvp and pk, essentially the GMs had to determine if there was in character justification for any instance of disputed player killing, obviously my situation prompted a call for an investigation. I understood those rules from the start though, and I kept a written log in the game where I detailed my character's building hatred of every single other player character in the world. He would keep track of every little thing from petty slights,

7.

Text - So Elias was always whistling, well I recorded how infuriating Cedric found it in his journal, and soon he had multiple journals packed full of a thousand reasons an unstable maniac could use to justifiably (re: server rules) murder anyone. The reagent who was also the server admin had some ornate cloak with a custom texture, so I wrote like three pages about how pompous it was, and extrapolated what kind of insutfferable prick he must have been for wearing it.

8.

Text - I would just write one or two things down every day for over a year, so I had many books full for the GMs to locate in the tavern basement and read through. The result was that they found my massacre to be in good form and in-character, so the server was not rolled back and instead they decided to reset and implement a new landmass they had been working on. Some people were really pissed off, mostly a handful of the veteran players who had been top dog for several years in their little gl

9.

Text - I only did any of it because my first character was murdered by some overzealous asshole who just used his character to project his inferiority complex. He killed me on my second day on the server because I wandered into the funeral of his friend (it was taking place in the middle of town and there was a crowd, of course I was curious) and because I was not invited and he was a known prick it was found justifiable for his character to kill mine because of the emotional turmoil blah blah.
