I dreamt my boss gave me an engagement ring and then he did

This is one of the most insane coincidences I've ever experienced. I want to preface this by saying I have no romantic feelings towards my boss at all, but I really like him as a person and we always get along great when we work together. Right when I got hired at this job (about 3 weeks ago) I had a dream that he proposed to me and gave me this sparkly silver engagement ring with a fairly large diamond in the middle (this will come up later). I have a notes page in my phone where I like to write down all the insane dreams I have and trust me I have so many and they're SO detailed and its always so random. I just love going back and reading them later but anyways I wrote this dream there and it had a bunch of other details that won't make sense to any of you guys unfortunately buttt a couple days ago is where I got the engagement ring irl. We were going through our lost and found at my workplace and anything thats been there over 6 months we donate, unless the staff wants to keep anything for themselves. Someone had left an engagement ring in there and I always wear a lot of rings, and its something my boss always jokes about with me saying I must get in a lot of fights. So he insisted that I keep this ring and I was like sure whatever BUT THEN I looked at it closely and guys when I tell you it was literally a carbon copy of the ring in the dream I had I'm not exaggerating. I don't even understand how this kind of shit happens and I know it might sound like I'm being dramatic but it was genuinely insanse to me. I just have to tell someone about this and I can't tell anyone else that I'm having weird ass dreams about my boss for no reason. I'll also mention he's 20 years older than me and married with kids lol...safe to say not my type. Thanks for reading guys and I guess I can now enjoy my new engagement ring this might help me fight off the creeps if I ever need to!

This girl stole my friends boyfriend so we found a way to steal from her

My friend (lets call her Sarah) and her now ex-boyfriend (lets call him Dave) dated for almost 7 years before they broke up. They had a really strong relationship and I always thought they were that couple that would be together forever.

A few months before they broke up Dave started working a new job which he really enjoyed. The only problem was one of his coworkers clearly had a crush on him. She would be texting him constantly, openly flirting with him, and complimenting him on his looks all the time. Keep in mind she knew he had a serious girlfriend.

While at first he set clear boundaries and made sure Sarah knew what this girl was doing, eventually he gave in. They started hanging out outside of work, and they would text a lot more than friends should. It was so obvious this girl liked him and Sarah told Dave she felt uncomfortable but he reassured her they were just friends.

Eventually Sarah worked up the courage to text this girl very nicely about how she didn't think what she was doing was appropriate, but I'm sure you can guess that she never answered. A couple months went by and we still don't know if he actually ever cheated (although I'm almost positive he did), but he did end up leaving Sarah for this other girl.

Regardless, he emotionally cheated on Sarah and this girl tried to break up their relationship from the moment she met Dave. This is where the revenge comes in. Sarah and I have a friend that works at Sephora part time while she's in school, and she told us Dave's new girlfriend shops there a lot. (If you don't know Sephora is a really big makeup store and they have lots of other products too).She looked up her account and found that she had a lot of points saved up, hundreds of dollars worth of points.

So the next time we went to Sephora I gave them her phone number, which we had from when Sarah texted her, and we got a bunch of free stuff using up all her points. And before you say anything, we will be getting revenge on Dave next but we're not sure of the exact plan yet. This is just a reminder to people to never try and breakup a relationship, maybe you will succeed and get the guy, but its not going to last because your new relationship is simply built off the breaking of another one.

How many times a day do you poop?

I talked to my friends recently about this and they were quite shocked to hear that I poop 3 times a day almost everyday. I'm 18f, not sure if that matters. I know thats technically a healthy amount but it seems not many people actually poop 3 times a day every day. Also, I don't eat a crazy amount of food, 2 meals a day and thats it. Is this normal?

Why are there some women that men find attractive enough to sleep with, but don't like enough for a relationship?

I've heard a lot of men say that 90% of the time if a women is attractive and willing to sleep with him he would. Regardless if they want a relationship or not, they'll sleep with her. Whats the reason you wouldn't want a relationship if she's attractive and lets say she has a good personality.

I'm asking because I have some great mutual guy friends who tell me what their other friends say about me, and I've heard a good amount say that they would sleep with me but don't want a relationship. Or that they don't like me like that but I'm hot so they would, something along the lines of that.

I don't think I have a bad personality, I've got lots of friends who I hangout with frequently and we always have a good time, and lots of people tell me I'm funny yada yada. So why not have a relationship with me? I'd really appreciate the advice especially if you've been in that kinda situation as the guy, and what was the reason for you feeling that way.

AITJ for not letting a little kid and his mom go in front of me in line at costco

I (18f) went to costco yesterday to pick up a couple things for the weekend. I went right around dinner time, which is a terrible time to go if you know costco it gets crazy. It was super busy, and I'd been waiting in line for over 10 minutes and just wanted to go home after being at work all day.

Right when I was next in line a woman with a little boy (maybe 5 or 6) came up behind me with an almost full cart. The kid was being really whiny and yelling a little bit saying he wanted to go home, and I could tell some people around us were annoyed.

The mom tapped me on the shoulder and asked if they could go in front of me because she'd had a really long day and her son really wanted to go home. I really did feel bad for her, but at the same time I felt the same as them and just wanted to go home. I also only had maybe 8 things where she had basically a full cart of stuff.

I apologized but said no as I'd been waiting for a long time and there was a massive line behind me too. I told her maybe if she only had a few things, but it wasnt fair to everyone waiting patiently. She kinda scoffed at me and said, "seriously you dont have any compassion for a tired child". I told her I did but its not really my issue and I dont know her either. She wouldn't stop bugging me about it, and genuinely wouldn't leave me alone, so here's where I may have been a jerk. I told her she was acting entitled and that I didn't have to let her in front of me if I didn't want to.

A lot of people were looking since she'd caused a bit of a scene and I felt like people were looking at me like I should've just given in, and that I was being rude. I still don't think it would've been the right thing to do, even though I still felt bad for her son. What made me feel worse is this older lady a few spots behind me in line let her go in front of her, and she scowled at me.

I'm really not sure if I was a jerk so I'd appreciate the feedback, especially so I know what to do if something like this happens to me again.

AIO about the text I got after babysitting when I cried reading a book my mom used to read to me

I (18f) babysit for a family about once a month, and this just happened a few days ago. My mom used to read me the Robert Munsch book called, "I'll love you forever, I'll like you for always, as long as I'm living my baby you'll be". Now if you don't know this book you've gotta look it up, its a real tear jerker. I haven't read it since my mom used to read it to me and I forgot how nostaligic it is and how many memories it brings back.

Anyway, I was putting the kids to bed and I usually read them a story before bed. I saw that they had this book and asked if I could read it to them since I hadn't even seen it in years. They said yes and I started reading.

Once I got close to the end I started crying and I truly couldn't stop, this book brought out so many emotions in me. (I honestly rarely cry and I can't remember the last time I cried in front of someone else). I managed to get through the book but it genuinely tore my heart out reading it.

The next day I got a text from the kids dad and he basically told me his kids and himself were uncomfortable with me crying like that in front of them. He said he thought it was weird that I picked that book and then "caused a scene" while reading it. I was very surprised by this and I told him I had no intention of crying at all and I really couldn't help it but tried to get through it as best I could.

I do feel really bad because I never would've picked the book if I knew that was going to happen. I didn't expect to have that reaction and I was just flooded with memories of my mom reading that book to me so many times as a child. So AIO for being upset about this and thinking its kinda unreasonable?

The first time this happened I went to put my garbage in and realized it was already full, and I hadn't put any garbage in at all that week. So I went to both my neighbours and just asked if they had used my garbage. Both of them said no and I believed them as my neighbours are very nice and have never done anything weird before.

Next week, same thing. I decided to get a camera that has a view of my garbage bin because I was starting to get really pissed off that someone was doing this. I'd been keeping my garbage at my house and it was piling up, and I had no where to put it.

On the next week I saw on the camera a new lady that had moved in a few weeks ago bringing her garbage bags over and just dropping them in when I wasn't home. She moved to the house across the street from me with her husband, and mind you its pretty far from my house so I didn't even suspect she would be the one doing this. I really should've considered it since it basically started happening after they moved in.

That day I grabbed the garbage out of my bin and brought it back to her house. I asked her why she was using my garbage bin when she has her own. She basically told me they have so much extra garbage from just moving in and thought for a couple weeks she could use my bin, and also said she thought the bins were shared. Shared??? It's a bin on the side of my house, and its pretty clear everyone has one and you don't share those kinds of things.

I told her it was my bin and she wasn't allowed to use it anymore. She genuinely apologized and it made me wonder if she really didn't know, but I feel like its such basic common sense and she should have. I kept thinking this is a terrible start with the new neighbours, and now I am a bit worried about them causing problems in the future but oh well. Talking to her seemed to make her back off, and this week I was finally able to get rid of my garbage.

So I work a small partime job at a bakery while I'm in college, and I only have a couple shifts a week. I'm very good at my job, I've gotten lots of reviews online specifically about my service and I know my bosses really like me and always tell me of one of their best employees. (Both before and after I started getting high at work)

For about the last month I've started getting high maybe once a week and its been going even better. (Btw I live in Canada and weed is legal) I feel like I'm so productive and on top of everything even more. I can chat with customers for a long time and honestly give the best customer service possible.

No one can tell I'm high because it doesn't show on me, and I feel like its so worth it if I'm doing my job even better than normal. Anyways just wanted to get that off my chest because I enjoy how fast my shift always goes, but to clarify once I get out of college and get a real full time job it won't be happening anymore.
