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.

I’ve met the most wonderful man on my weekly commute. He’s a doctor, specialises in respiratory diseases, but also extremely good at getting bits of grit out of your eye. He has a nice face and he’s awfully kind.
I’ve fallen in love with him you see. I couldn’t help it. We gaze into each other’s eyes over cups of tea and have the same sense of humour. Falling into lakes while boating and funny looking cello playing women are hilarious, don’t you agree?
Thing is, I’m married with children. But my husband only ever does crosswords and every time I ask anything from him he just says ‘have it your own way’. What’s more, he has a moustache.
So AIBU to have an affair? Only an emotional one, I wouldn’t actually sleep with him. So that’s all right isn’t it?

Nuff - is that "An Affair to Remember"?

Nuffaluff · 11/10/2018 13:48

No 😊

WWYD?

I'm a musician in a bar and I'm sick and tired of being asked to play the same song over and over again. Also the guy who asks me to play keeps calling me by the shortened version of my name. WIBU to tell him that I actually prefer the full version of my name (not many people are aware of this) and that I want to play something different on the piano?

Nuff

Yes Brief Encounter! Love that film.

PrivateParkin · 11/10/2018 13:53

Two fab films there!!

What’s more, he has a moustache. Grin

I have no idea who to talk to about this. I was a homeless guy on the streets of New York and suddenly two really (and I mean really) rich guys, give me a home, nice clothes, decent food and money. They also gave me a job in their company (it even has their name over the door). Anyway, I'm getting a lot of hassle from this bloke who says that I'm living in his house and wearing his clothes and doing the job he had. I'm very confused. I don't know if I should involve the Feds as I think they're actually involved in some way (I'm thinking financial fraud of some kind but I'm not 100% up to speed on this). Have you any suggestions?
I think I need something to eat and drink - I may have some frozen concentrated orange juice or some pork belly.

Here's a real oldie.

I'm a pathologically jealous woman to a murderous degree, i won't take second place to anyone. My new and lovely husband has a slightly disabled younger brother who loves to swim. They dote on each other which I don't like at all. Would IBU to let the brother drown as i watch rather than save him? Sick of sharing my DH.

PrivateParkin · 11/10/2018 14:00

Trading Places!

PrivateParkin · 11/10/2018 14:00

Another great film! I need to think of one now...

strawberrisc · 11/10/2018 14:02

My daughter thinks she's being abused by an entity. She is, but it is within me, her father. We have a great relationship but she's just discovered that the entity and me are as one. She's going out of the window tonight, I know. AIBU to kill her and try to kill her friend too?

IamPickleRick · 11/10/2018 14:07

I live my life trying to find a 6 fingered man so that I can avenge my fathers death. He gave me these two scars. I am not left handed. Aibu to have screaming eel for dinner?

Binglebong · 11/10/2018 14:12

Princess bride.

toomanycuddlytoys · 11/10/2018 14:21

AIBU to say it's not my fault that I am like this? I thought I'd found someone who would listen to me but all they did was break something I've been so desperate to own! I've been through so much stress, if people had given me the answers I wanted, I wouldn't have been so angry. Leaving me with a weird relative and going off to do their own things. I went off the rails as a youth and got in with a bad crowd. I've had enough of all this chasing and I'm going to sort it out once and for all. AIBU?

SerenDippyEggs · 11/10/2018 14:44

@CoolCarrie yes!! Finally Grin

thighofrelief · 11/10/2018 15:12

My brother is very sensitive and he has ESP, he's pretty twitchy. Anyway he has a massive sense of foreboding regarding some earth moving heavy machinery that is near all our homes. A guy with a fro sings about my brother a lot though not in the film.

CoolCarrie · 11/10/2018 19:41

I traveled to a very big city with my suitcase and found my self living with a lovely famiy, in a beautiful house with nice neighbours, good friends including an antique dealer, and I wash windows to make some pocket money. I love to eat preserves!
