I'll start.

AIBU to be pissed off with my recluse sister?

My sister is an introvert to the point where she won't even speak to me anymore. We live together but I literally don't see her from one day to the next and TBH I'd like a bit of company. Also it's bloody cold in our house, especially walking past DSis room, anyone got any recommendations for portable heaters? Preferably from John Lewis.

Yes 👏

I’ve recently embarked on a career in law enforcement. I’ve always been able to handle myself and been seen as a high flyer, but for my very first job I’ve been assigned to a really disturbing case where I have to deal with a complete psychopath on my own without any supervision from a superior officer. To top it all the psychopath seems to have taken a liking to me. At least he’s behind bars for now.

WIBU to take this to HR?

Well, I've had a crappy couple of months.

First of all I got fired. Bunch of misogynist pricks I worked with, they'd been looking for a way to get me out. I showed them though, I started up my own business, and it's been going really well too.

Then, I got home (after being fired), to find twathead cocklodging boyfriend in bed with an OW. Words were exchanged, and I walked out. I've been living with a friend ever since, she's been brilliant.

Met a rather nice man, we've been seeing each other a bit. Had a bit of a row, but made it up. He makes me really, properly laugh. I'm pregnant though, which is a problem - it's way too soon for any of that.

And now I'm here. And I can't wake up. Where did it all go wrong?

Aibu to be pretty pissed off at being hidden away. I know my ex is a jerk and I did the right thing by saying something. But I can't stay hidden here in this place driven by routines and a strict matriarch figure. We share a common interest but they're so stuck in their ways that they aren't too keen on change. I've made a couple of friends and already got them into trouble, but I've just got to get out of here. I don't want to drag my new friends and their group into trouble, although maybe they'll help me out in the end.

My dh spends a lot of time inventing stuff. His latest creation is a machine which can make things smaller...he keeps it in a room that he never locks. Aibu to worry that our children may stumble across this machine at some point and accidentally be shrunk down?

Omeletteandbeans · 10/10/2018 10:06

Nakedavenger it sounds like you've gone on holiday by mistake. I suggest you get out of there quick before his bloody uncle tries it on with you.

Sister act?

minisoksmakehardwork · 10/10/2018 10:08

@formerbabe, you might have bigger problems if the machine reversed itself. Especially with your youngest about.

minisoksmakehardwork · 10/10/2018 10:09

@Fiffyshadesofgreymatter yep.

AwdBovril · 10/10/2018 10:10

formerbabe - honey I shrunk the kids.

@Omeletteandbeans I hear the nearest town has cake and fine wines so I'm holding out for that.

Unless something drastic changes like better food, heat and an interview for a Shakespearean role in the next week or so I'm going to go NC with this friend.

WingMirrorSpider · 10/10/2018 10:50

WickedLazy yes!

WingMirrorSpider · 10/10/2018 10:55

I’ve just started a new job. I’m not really fitting in with my coworkers and my boss is very demanding but it’s a great opportunity.

The problem is my friends and BF. Frankly they’re being unsupportive arses. They belittle me and try and sabotage my working relationships and are not at all understanding of the fact that I’m taking my job seriously, it’s a great step up the career ladder and yes, that takes commitment.

AIBU to dump them?

@theendofmytether that should have said!

I’m an illegal immigrant being chased by the feds. A cute kids has befriended me. Aibu to squat in his house without his mums permission until my friends can come and get me?

PawneeParksDept · 10/10/2018 11:59

My boyfriend has been asked to be a best man in his home country, as luck would have it my best friend also lives there, and I'm looking forward to meeting his family especially his grandma who by all accounts raised him, I think they must have been quite poor.

I bought this nice little red dress from a high street store which I think screams "Tea with Grandma"

I mean it's not like my lovely boyfriend would withhold information that would make a massive fool out of me is it?
Friend seems to disagree

@ThanosSavedMe ET?

Me and two other women from work have the same boss who is a PIA. He has a lovely if a bit dizzy wife. There is another women in the company (works in a different department) and she is very interfering. Anyway, me and my colleagues have put our boss under house arrest as we suspect he's been skimming off the top of the company accounts (whole other thread there). The conditions we're made to work in are awful. Here's my question - WIBU to put through a few changes in the office to improve working conditions while boss is 'tied up'. Not to drip feed, but I've been told that I have his signature down really well.

WingMirrorSpider · 10/10/2018 12:06

Seren yes!

AIBU to think my dad is a dickhead?

Me, my brother and my father have always had a bit of a strained relationship - me and father have always got on but my brother, well, he’s always getting himself into some sort of mischief and a few years ago ruined a big event of mine. Anyway. Brother has always told me that dad is a prick. Since they’ve never got on, I’ve always been a bit 🙄 ‘whatever’ about it (Father has always been perfectly lovely to me ☺️)
But recently, I’m beginning to see why my brother thinks the way he does. Father is in ill health and in his dying breaths he reveals to me and my brother that we have a sister that he locked away for years and now she’s returned to our home city and is hell bent on some sort of revenge. I mean, WTF? Surely he should have told us about this sooner?! She wants to totally annihilate our home and has already ruined my prized possession. Sad

Okay, so, if Brother hadn’t tried to off Dad in the first place this whole mess could have been avoided... but still. AIBU?
