I just heard Urgent by Foreigner and it reminded me of being maybe 9/10 and my friend Sherri singing along to this on the radio while doing kerbangers, remember them? Or was that 80’s?
Maybe not the best 2 pics to make this point but I always get them confused
I (54 F) have been friends with this woman since 7th grade. She still lives with her sister who she doesn’t pay rent to, is terrible with money, & unfortunately lies. She texted me asking for $100 saying she would pay it back. (Which I really don’t care about $100, it’s just a weird amount to be in a pinch about.) I text “Sure” and venmoed it to her immediately. I called her an hour later, we chatted normally for a bit then I asked her what the $100 was for. She said she needed gas to get home from work and didn’t want to use her credit card. I asked why not and it turned into a whole fight with her saying she knew she shouldn’t have asked me & it’s not my business. I said “well when you ask people for money it kinda makes it their business.” AITA?
I’ll go first— Eddie VanHalen & Valerie Bertinelli
I (54 F) was talked to one of my oldest friends who happens to be African Am. She was teasing me about something & said “you’re so gay!” like back in the 80’s. I told her that’s not cool & she can’t use that word anymore in that context bc it’s offensive. She said “well that’s how I was raised so I’m using it that way.” I said “by that logic an old person raised using the N word is still within their rights.” (Obviously I didn’t say the actual word.) She got all huffy and said it’s not the same logic. Regardless if it’s same logic or not, do you guy get offended when someone uses the word gay in the way my friend did?
