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.

@WickedLazy and @MipMipMip yes Le Reine Margot. Great film, one of my faves ever.

No one guessed mine 😩

@ThanosSavedMe

I read your but I am stumped!

PurpleRobe · 10/10/2018 07:34

I'm an out of work actor.

I can't get a job at all anymore becuase my agent says I'm too difficult to work with! He says i do have talent, but i think he doesn't "get me" or my integrity but that's another thread.

I've seen a job for an actress to play a role on a very famous soap opera, based in a hospital. I know I could act circles around anyone!

AIBU to try cross dressing as a woman and audition for the role? (So that they don't know it's really me auditioning)

Does anyone have any make tips and where's the best place to get a good wig?

MoreCheerfulMonica · 10/10/2018 07:35

Ha! Tootsie.

I live with my dad and my sister, mum buggered off a few years ago. Now dad is so strict with us and my sister is a spoilt little princess who's decided she's getting involved with an idiot narcissistic guy from school. Tried to explain to her she should stay away (been there, done that) bit she just got mad at me!
I was getting along with this guy that hasn't been at school for very long, we went out a few times, he even asked me to prom, which I didn't really want to go to (not my thing at all) Turns out he's an idiot too, he only took me out because someone was paying him too. What an arsehole. He bought me a new guitar today though, wibu to give him another chance? It was a pretty expensive guitar.

I am prepared to be told I am AIBU but anyway. My mum is being really pushy arranging my marriage. I am well read and very smart. My sister was lucky and fell in love but, the suitor my mum has chosen for me is an ignorant pig but, my mum is only interested in him because he is wealthy.

She seems obsessed with sending me to England to be a wife but, I met a traveller whilst in Goa and I want to spend more time with him. Plus there is this ignorant American who really seems to bring out the bad side of me.

Am I being really unreasonable to fall in love with the traveller.

ThanosSavedMe · 10/10/2018 07:41

@thtastheendifmytether I will post an update then!

shirleyschmidt · 10/10/2018 07:42

I've been best friends with this guy for years, we dated a bit in college but I got restless - though we agreed to stay besties and have stayed close over the years. We even made a pact to marry each other if we hadn't met anyone else by the time we were 28.
Fast forward a few years, I'm almost 28 and I get a phone call out the blue to say he's met someone and getting married this weekend!! She's young, in college, and super rich. To further complicate matters I've been asked to be made of honor Hmm I realize it's bad timing but the whole thing has made me realize I love my friend, and I've no doubt he'd want to be with me too.

AIBU to fly over there on the pretence of supporting them through the wedding, but really breaking them up and getting the groom back??

@Thatstheendofmytether 10 things I hate about you!

@darkriver198868 I'm stuck!

Room101 - La Reine Margot. One of my favourite films.

ThanosSavedMe · 10/10/2018 07:57

Shirley, my best friends wedding

ThanosSavedMe · 10/10/2018 08:05

@thatstheendofmytether

I told you earlier on about how I was being harassed by these three guys (one the chief of police) after they’d spent all day chasing me around, I heard them singing and swapping stories so I thought I’d get my own back and have a pop at them. Well that was a mistake, they really didn’t like that. It all ended up really badly for me, though I did manage to eat the ships captain. Not sure what happened to the other guy, think he slipped away

I’m hoping one of my mates will go and sort them all out for me.

Sleepyshores · 10/10/2018 08:07

Ok I've done a terrible thing. Please don't flame me but in a moment of sheer madness I stole some money from work, a lot of money. I've taken off, been driving for hours trying to get my head together. The weather's terrible for driving so I've had to stop at a motel for the night. I've finally come to my senses and will return home tomorrow, confess all and return the money. I'm exhausted and want nothing more than a hot shower and a good sleep. The thing is the guy who runs the motel is seriously creepy. Totally freaked out when I suggested he put his insane mother whom he lives with, in a care home. I do feel a bit sorry for him as he seems really lonely and I'm his first customer in ages, but he really gives me the chills. Wibu to just leave the motel right now without telling him?

@shirleysmidht Its Bride and Prejudice.

darkriver198868 · 10/10/2018 08:07

Sleepyshores Psycho!

Sleepyshores · 10/10/2018 08:08

Yes!

shirleyschmidt · 10/10/2018 08:14

Dark River should have got that, I've seen it🤦🏼‍♀️

Thanos I've still absolutely no idea!!! Hope someone swoops in with the answer soon.

Munchkingoat · 10/10/2018 08:25

Thanos - is it Jaws?

angelnix · 10/10/2018 08:32

My wife and I have recently separated, I would like joint custody of the children, but she refused. She's now asking for more maintenance to assist with childcare. AIBU to think that I could provide the childcare without her realising be using a disguise. Was thinking of impersonating an old lady and applying for the job. I get to see my children and the extra that I have to pay in maintenance comes back to me. It's a win-win situation, what can possibly go wrong?

DoYouLikeHueyLewisandTheNews · 10/10/2018 08:33

First of all let me say I love my friend, who I'll call A, and I don't have a huge friend circle. I am tired of not fitting in. I'm really self conscious, especially about my boobs, and I've been squirrelling away money for years now to save up for a boob job. The trouble is, A is stunning. She is a model and everywhere we go men literally drool over her. It's to the point where even my dad acts like a dog on heat around her and it's toe curling. She encourages this and sometimes I wonder does she hang around with me to make herself feel better? I can't talk to DM as she would blatantly prefer to have A for a daughter instead of me.

There's also a guy I like who's moved next door. He makes home videos and once set fire to his school. He sells pot, and I'm pretty sure my dad is his customer. His dad's kinda homophobic, his mum is really anxious and A takes the piss out of him all the time but surely I can like who I want? I feel like everyone tells me what to do while not following their own advice.

Basically, AIBU to want to run away with the hot weird guy next door and decide this is a better use of my boob job money?
