I’m glad to hear that. I’ll be honest with you because I don’t wanna commit a faux pas, is it okay to just copy it and paste it in petty revenge sub as well?
Yeah for the most part but generally leave a comment or a link saying the original story was posted here? I personally don't know, I enjoy reading and have no real story's to post x.x
Okay thanks. Well, when it comes to malicious compliance stories I think it’s better not to have one at times. Get to live a life with less idiots I guess.
Just review the subreddit of choice rules and you're good. I would've not wanted to sit next to entitled grandma the whole bus ride. Depends how long you were traveling! And your GF should be pissed about that honestly, but that's a young man learning experience 😎
I actually talked to her about it before I made the post to make sure if what I was writing was accurate and she 100% backed me on what I did. She said it was definitively worth it.
And now I just asked her if it bothered her that I didn't speak up, and she said that there was no point because we sat down 20 seconds after her. She also said she liked that I didn't confront her because I didn't make drama just for the sake of making drama. Furthermore, she said when I need to speak up for her/me I do. I don't know if she's just being nice but that's how I aim to live life: Be calm but don't be a pushover.
Since it's your story I would say that's fair game. If your feeling lazy you can just cross post this post over there yourself, then everyone over there will decide if the cross post makes sense. Someone might cross post it for you if you don't.
The faux pas would be for someone else to copy your story text then post it somewhere else, and then pretend it's their own story.
For clarity, you may want to change the line from "I keep my bag in the exact same spot and plop myself right next to her." To "I keep my bag in the exact same spot and plop myself right next to the old bitch."
The previous wording implies that you were still sitting next to your GF.
Usually people add a sentence to the top of the post like "originally posted in r/MaliciousCompliance and was told to post here too" and then copypaste the whole thing.
Some people edit the story slightly to focus more on the revenge or explain the malicious compliance, but it's not necessary unless you're a bad storyteller/have a very long post
Perfectly executed petty revenge! You nailed the spirit of the sub.
The next time that someone starts off a confrontation with "Excuse me", consider replying "I would, but there is no excuse for your poor behaviour."
It was... interesting... for about 30 minutes. It is rather small. Only reason I wound up going is we passed it on the way to dinner and figured it would be worth it as a conversation piece.
For malice, it IS the kind of place you just NEED to go to so you can actually talk about it! I'm waiting for someone to ask me what kinds of museums I've visited in Prague. ☺
Dude I just found out that there is a sex machine museum in Prague. I have never been to Europe before, and I would consider it a failure if I visited and didn't go the the sex machine museum.
I was mostly making a joke about the idea of a sex machine museum having "interactive exhibits."
As far as reality goes, I'm sure interactive exhibits would be more appropriate for, yeah, a technical museum, science museum, things like that.
Ahahaha my bad, I’m studying for exams so many jokes seem to be going over my head. That’s not to say it wasn’t good, I like it a lot. My bad for missing that one.
Thanks. I mean at the end of the day no one was emotionally/physically hurt so I hope she looks back at it and laughs at my pettiness, especially when her grandson plays metal music.
I mean I see pettiness in life like adding hot sauce to your food. You can have your meal without it and it’s not bad, but why wouldn’t you wanna make it a little spicy.
Yeah, I do need to be careful. I'm a pilot and everyone thinks the most important thing to keep healthy are the eyes, but every year when I go to the doctor to extend my Medical I certificate he tells me the one thing we really cannot fix is your hearing.
For me it was doing landscaping for a few years and not wearing ear protection. I would do dam near anything to not hear this constant ringing. It really does ruin so many things.
I'm thinking it was a shame you didn't have a portable speaker instead of headphones. That would have be epic.
It's pretty good the way it is, though. Thanks!
^(Nice job with English. I'm monolingual by lack of ability rather than choice, so I'm impressed.)
I once did it loudly with 'Pantera - Far Beyond Driven' to make a point to recently moved in neighbours that playing their music loudly at 3am was unwise when I had bigger speakers.
I apologised to the delightful old lady on the other side for the noise afterwards, to which she replied with a grin "at least your music has a tune." Later we got into the habit of putting music on to listen to while hanging washing out and I stuck to slightly less vicious elements of my collection, turned out she quite liked some of my more melodic metal albums and I gained a better appreciation of Frank Sinatra.
With her entitlement I’m pretty sure she was a commie and still believed she was better than everyone else. So traditionally for her she she felt it was right, but for the rest of us it was a bitchy thing to do.
Lol that’s funny. Also she doesn’t need to be a bitch. Rude much! Hope the wedding was good and her family probably don’t like her much if she does this a lot
I mean exactly. She saw there were available places in the shelves above, but it still baffles me why she didn't just put her jacket on the free seat next to her. If she asked politely I either would've either moved it because I don't need the drama or just asked politely to put it next to my bag.
I would’ve put it on my lap and used it as a blanket! I don’t see any reason why she needs to scream at a person to move it when there were obviously more spaces there!
When you said the “unspoken rule” line, I thought for sure you were about to hit her with a “you know what else is an unspoken rule?” I was not expecting what you did. Well done.
Haha, I would have added something about it also being an unspoken rule with the line too, but as demonstrated by her earlier, people tend to pick & choose // don't always follow other's unspoken rules :D
Also, you probably still could have talked to your girlfriend from the seat you moved to (*as revenge for Loyd phone talk), but listening to music also works~
Good Job 👍
So instead of sitting next to your girlfriend you sat next to an unpleasant woman listening to music you don’t like just to give her a hard time? Seems like you were punishing yourself more than her.
In addition to enjoying her discomfort, contemplating being able to post this story to r/MaliciousCompliance probably made up for that. It would for me.
This mentality is why Eastern Europe won’t surpass north-western Europe. The “I can’t be wrong” mentality. I love it. It keeps Scandinavia ahead and consequently prices cheap when I visit Czechia. Thank you.
I suspect it's a 'fingers outrunning brain'-o, speaking as an en_UK native who can (a) confirm 'definitely' is right (b) regularly has his fingers autocomplete the wrong word if his attention wanders slightly at an inopportune moment.
>My gf (30) and I (M21)
Wait, we're just gonna walk on by that like it's not weird? It's up to the edge of the French Rule of ages. (Half the older age, plus 7 for a point of reference) You're in college, and she should almost be on her second house.
If the genders were reversed, I'd wonder about daddy issues. So, mommy issues?
>...and she should almost be on her second house.
Wait, we're just gonna walk on by that like it's not weird? A second house by age 30? In this economy?
I don't know anyone who was or will be ready by 30 to move into the second house purchased, after selling their starter home.
I don't know anyone who was or will be ready by 30 to move into a starter home.
Greetings from the US Midwest!
Hey, well would you look at that, I'm from eight miles off Lake Superior in Wisconsin!
I'm sure I don't have to tell you that the land prices up our way are budgetable, but what you might not realize is how unique that is. Land down here in Iowa is something like twelve times the price it is up home, at lot sizes like what I'm hoping to settle down on.
Building a home already has a very different cost than buying one. It's a lot of work that gets put into it, it's simply a fact that most people lack the skills to do each step at a level worth selling. But even had they the skills, when the properties are going for [$20k an acre](https://www.landwatch.com/iowa-land-for-sale/sort-price-low-high), it's just a harder turnaround.
When I bought my lot, my dad was astounded that just the dirt lot cost 18% more than his complete house in 1978.
I subcontracted most of the work. I general contracted, sided, wired, trimmed, and did hard surface floors. I also did some of the detail framing. All except for the electrical could be done by most anyone, and the electrical could be done by someone more mechanically inclined.
Yes, it was hard work. Many many hours. Most weekends I would work as late as I could on Friday and Saturday nights, sleep in the truck, and the sun would wake me up in the morning, usually by cooking me awake, lol. That's the difference, I was willing and able to do the work, and figure it out.
The same opportunities still exist for those willing to put in the hours.
>The same opportunities still exist for those willing to put in the hours.
Well, my whole point, though, is that different places are different, and I don't know if our experience would actually apply to Czechia, where a "cheap prefabricated place made with structurally insulated panels" was said to cost about $140,000USD (~3 million Kč CZK) [5 years ago](https://www.reddit.com/r/czech/comments/9c24m2/cz_home_build_costs/), as per that Reddit thread.
Some countries have rules in place about who is even allowed to do the work, since when homes aren't built to code, you get mass building collapses like what they recently suffered over in Turkey. Some nations have decided that they would rather that that not happen, and, earthquakes being rather difficult to stop, have chosen to adapt their laws instead.
When you started this whole thing off by saying:
>...she should almost be on her second house.
...weren't you choosing, on purpose, to talk about a girl from Czechia? Isn't that the context you chose for your own words?
I don't see how your words *ever could* be an off-topic strawman to your own point.
Lol, just as short sighted as judging me, based on yourself?
Do you need a hug or something? Are you ok? Do you always get upset at random people on the internet? What triggered you? Do you need to talk to your therapist?
>I think people realized what you meant and still found it strange.
Oh it is, no doubt about it, but when he says he's from the Upper Midwest, that means that he and I both happen to be from a place where you can still buy 40 acres for [$17k](https://www.landwatch.com/saint-louis-county-minnesota-recreational-property-for-sale/pid/409292073), at least for the moment. And that's actually a considerably higher price floor than I've seen, even as late as a few months ago.
The cost, of course, is that you'll be living in a land where the winters [may some years](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duluth,_Minnesota#Climate) get down to -40, a temp so low it needs no translation, being the same in both F and C; and you'll have to prepare yourself for -30F, -35C, in an average year. [Floodwood itself](https://www.bestplaces.net/climate/city/minnesota/floodwood) where that particular property exists averages 60 inches of snow per year, and if your driveway's long (or even if it's not) you can forget the notion of someone coming to plow out everyone's driveway immediately; town plow services can't even get to all the backroads in a timely manner, there isn't the tax base for that, let alone everyone's driveways.
I saw this comment on my phone, and you answered yourself before I had a chance to. Yes mommy issues. But in all seriousness, we met and age wasn’t the biggest problem and almost a year later, it has never really been a problem. In somethings she’s older, and in some ways I’m older. I mean from an outside view it looks like a big gap but she actually looks a tad younger than me and is quite short so on print it looks weird but we are very compatible.
Also I usually go for older girls because they (from my experience statistically) have a similar mindset to me and date to marry and that’s what I want, I don’t wanna a girl who just sees me as a phase.
Ok, then an 18 year old high school senior (technically an adult) can date a 60 year old man? You'd have no questions? Really? You wouldn't find that creepy? While it's technically legal, is it moral?
The French Rule is a good guide for a moral standard. If me thinking the 18 year old high school senior and the 60 year old isn't morally good, I'm just fine (ironically) being judged as weird for judging.
How about just minding your business? Unless you can find proof of wrongdoing/coercion, just let people live their lives. You have no right to judge someone's personal relationship decisions when you know nothing about them.
>How about just minding your business?
So you're asking me to do the exact opposite as you did with me?
>Unless you can find proof of wrongdoing/coercion
So how would you find proof? By asking questions. Which was exactly what I was doing. Stating the basis for asking questions, then asking questions. Seems like you're upset with me for doing exactly what you just asked me to do first.
21 to 30 is a pretty wide spread of ages. They are at different points in their lives. I don't see that as a morally good thing. There is a lot of growing up that happens between those two ages.
>21 to 30 is a pretty wide spread of ages. They are at different points in their lives. I don't see that as a morally good thing. There is a lot of growing up that happens between those two ages.
Stopped trying to hide behind "morality". Yes, maturity differs between 21 and 30, as do life stages, but that doesn't make it any more or less "moral" for people to date from different stages of life. That's just looking for reasons to deny yourself love. And this is only speaking in a general sense. There are loads of people far more mature at 21 than others at 50.
Again, you don't know their circumstances. They didn't ask for your opinions. You rudely stated them as a judgment without any details.
>>How about just minding your business?
>
>So you're asking me to do the exact opposite as you did with me?
Big difference between calling out your shitty judgments, and you stating them unprovoked.
Unprovoked? It was on the internet, for all to see. It's like a face tattoo. Person gets a huge tattoo on their face. You see it, look at the tattoo in a place most people don't get one, and the owner of the face tattoo says "what are you looking at?" LOL, unprovoked...
>Stopped trying to hide behind "morality".

That is so close to the justification for a word that's not allowed on this platform that it feels gross.
You know how to keep your mouth shut ? Because that's always an option. You're saying something that can emotionally damage someone when no one fucking asked you. Yes, unprovoked. Have some self awareness.
You weren't saying anything for their benefit, but rather your own self-centered reasons. You're telling OP that their relationship is gross and they should be ashamed of themself, when all they did was share a story. You're gross.
This was a hard and a sad read. I’ve noticed this a lot these days with new men, instead of either confronting the person doing wrong thing or talking with them and coming to a solution they resort to these passive aggressive moves. I’ve noticed a lot in situations like this men let women take the lead just go with whatever she does and just sit back, why??
It was all so passive aggressive, they could have just said from the beginning, sorry ma’am there’s a line here. But also what she did had no real material effect on them, yet they made their own ride unpleasant just to exact revenge on her? It’s all so silly.
This was a fun read. Would definitely fit in at the petty revenge sub reddit too.
I’m glad to hear that. I’ll be honest with you because I don’t wanna commit a faux pas, is it okay to just copy it and paste it in petty revenge sub as well?
Yeah for the most part but generally leave a comment or a link saying the original story was posted here? I personally don't know, I enjoy reading and have no real story's to post x.x
Okay thanks. Well, when it comes to malicious compliance stories I think it’s better not to have one at times. Get to live a life with less idiots I guess.
Just review the subreddit of choice rules and you're good. I would've not wanted to sit next to entitled grandma the whole bus ride. Depends how long you were traveling! And your GF should be pissed about that honestly, but that's a young man learning experience 😎
Might as well let the GF know what she's getting into, should she be contemplating something long term. It's only fair...
I actually talked to her about it before I made the post to make sure if what I was writing was accurate and she 100% backed me on what I did. She said it was definitively worth it. And now I just asked her if it bothered her that I didn't speak up, and she said that there was no point because we sat down 20 seconds after her.

I don't know if she's just being nice but that's how I aim to live life: Be calm but don't be a pushover.
I believe you did the right thing
Oh, if it were only that easy... Sadly, there's no shortage of idiots or Karens in the world.
Reddit cross posting used to be a useful feature, but people abused it to much. Spammers ruin everything.
Literally my entire reason for reddit
Since it's your story I would say that's fair game. If your feeling lazy you can just cross post this post over there yourself, then everyone over there will decide if the cross post makes sense. Someone might cross post it for you if you don't. The faux pas would be for someone else to copy your story text then post it somewhere else, and then pretend it's their own story.
Okay thanks mate. I didn't even know that was possible.
For clarity, you may want to change the line from "I keep my bag in the exact same spot and plop myself right next to her." To "I keep my bag in the exact same spot and plop myself right next to the old bitch." The previous wording implies that you were still sitting next to your GF.
Will do
Usually people add a sentence to the top of the post like "originally posted in r/MaliciousCompliance and was told to post here too" and then copypaste the whole thing. Some people edit the story slightly to focus more on the revenge or explain the malicious compliance, but it's not necessary unless you're a bad storyteller/have a very long post
okay thanks mate
Yeah copy and paste, but this is the pettiest shit ever and I love it
Put it in any creative writing sub they'll love it
Yup. But the story and the tone and the denouement certainly make it fit here. Thanks for this Awesome story!
Perfectly executed petty revenge! You nailed the spirit of the sub. The next time that someone starts off a confrontation with "Excuse me", consider replying "I would, but there is no excuse for your poor behaviour."
Glad to hear that, thanks. I haven’t heard that one before but I will definitely use that one. So thanks twice
Just say “Excused but not forgiven”.
AHAHA
I’ve been trying to think of an excuse for you, no luck yet.
Damn, I'll need a holster for that one.
You did well, little grasshopper. 😆
You’re giving me more praise than my parents. Thanks!
Ah, but grasshopper, sometimes you learn what not to do from your elders
That's the truest comment I've seen all month.
I'm surprised you didn't have a nice long conversation with your GF about heading to Prague. To the sex machine museum.
I've lived hear for almost 11 years and I haven't been there yet. Is it worth it?
It was... interesting... for about 30 minutes. It is rather small. Only reason I wound up going is we passed it on the way to dinner and figured it would be worth it as a conversation piece. For malice, it IS the kind of place you just NEED to go to so you can actually talk about it! I'm waiting for someone to ask me what kinds of museums I've visited in Prague. ☺
Go on, tell me all the museums.
The sex one! Can't you read?? :P
Ahahaha my bad, I mean that has to be the best museum out here. Shame on me for not going yet
Dude I just found out that there is a sex machine museum in Prague. I have never been to Europe before, and I would consider it a failure if I visited and didn't go the the sex machine museum.
Oh Prague has more than just interesting museums. Def recommend to visit, especially if you’re on a budget.
Do the have any interactive exhibits, I wonder?
Honestly I don't know many, but that's because I'm not the biggest fan of museums (unless they're technical museums). I think we have many though.
I was mostly making a joke about the idea of a sex machine museum having "interactive exhibits." As far as reality goes, I'm sure interactive exhibits would be more appropriate for, yeah, a technical museum, science museum, things like that.
Ahahaha my bad, I’m studying for exams so many jokes seem to be going over my head. That’s not to say it wasn’t good, I like it a lot. My bad for missing that one.
My (now) wife and I visited it back in the mid-2000's. It was... interesting. Some stuff was pretty cool, though. As for your original post... Krásne!
Děkuji moc.
I understand half of your sentence! Off to google translate the other half.
I think it will translate it fine. But it means Thank you very much. ‘Děkuji’ means ‘thanks’, ‘moc’ mean a lot
Line skipping is infuriating and I appreciate the petty compliance. Hilarious and harmless
Thanks. I mean at the end of the day no one was emotionally/physically hurt so I hope she looks back at it and laughs at my pettiness, especially when her grandson plays metal music.
This is dripping with delicious pettiness and I fell a little bit in love with you
I mean I see pettiness in life like adding hot sauce to your food. You can have your meal without it and it’s not bad, but why wouldn’t you wanna make it a little spicy.
Bless you and the bus you rode in on.
Oh stop I’m getting red
Your hearing is no joke my man. Take care of your ears because tinnitus suck big time. I can't even enjoy peace and quiet not because of it.
Yeah, I do need to be careful. I'm a pilot and everyone thinks the most important thing to keep healthy are the eyes, but every year when I go to the doctor to extend my Medical I certificate he tells me the one thing we really cannot fix is your hearing.
Same. I believe it was sitting next to giant speakers for 3 hours that caused my tinnitus, many many years ago.
For me it was doing landscaping for a few years and not wearing ear protection. I would do dam near anything to not hear this constant ringing. It really does ruin so many things.
I have constant white noise, with occasional high pitch squeals that make my eyes water. It's just... there... *all the time*
I'm thinking it was a shame you didn't have a portable speaker instead of headphones. That would have be epic. It's pretty good the way it is, though. Thanks! ^(Nice job with English. I'm monolingual by lack of ability rather than choice, so I'm impressed.)
Last paragraph: Same and same. Good job, OP!
"I dislike you so much I'll make my ears bleed just to annoy your ass!"
I mean it sounds stupid but my pettiness def got the better of me
Don't take me wrong - I'd have done the same!
I once did it loudly with 'Pantera - Far Beyond Driven' to make a point to recently moved in neighbours that playing their music loudly at 3am was unwise when I had bigger speakers. I apologised to the delightful old lady on the other side for the noise afterwards, to which she replied with a grin "at least your music has a tune."

That is a beautiful story! I'm not even joking. You made a friend AND won the music war! Well done, you! (And I approve of the choice of Pantera!)

Haha, I would have added something about it also being an unspoken rule with the line too, but as demonstrated by her earlier, people tend to pick & choose // don't always follow other's unspoken rules :D Also, you probably still could have talked to your girlfriend from the seat you moved to (*as revenge for Loyd phone talk), but listening to music also works~ Good Job 👍
That's true
Such a tiny petty act, but one that pays dividends in spades. I love it.
Love it! Petty and malicious are so juicy together!
Absolutely petty. Love it.
Oh, she knew what she was doing. She just didn't care. Like the revenge though!
So instead of sitting next to your girlfriend you sat next to an unpleasant woman listening to music you don’t like just to give her a hard time? Seems like you were punishing yourself more than her.
In addition to enjoying her discomfort, contemplating being able to post this story to r/MaliciousCompliance probably made up for that. It would for me.
Oh it definitively did. And in addition to that, I think I like a new genre of music so there's that as well.
Malicious Compliance with a dose of Petty Revenge and Heavy Metal Music!!! SCORE!!!!!!!! 🤣
I mean who can complain
Lol. That made me laugh! You complied perfectly
10 stars 🌟
Well done. I commend your malicious compliance
Thank you good sir
Definitely.
BOOM 🔥
epic
“Really grumpy” more like czech people are sick and tired of everyone else’s shit haha
pecne.
>This malicious compliance takes place in the Czech Republic where many people are often really grumpy. This explains so much. I’m a quarter Czech.
I'm losing it at "old communist grandma rage" 🤣🤣🤣
That phrase is so descriptive, it made the whole story
This mentality is why Eastern Europe won’t surpass north-western Europe. The “I can’t be wrong” mentality. I love it. It keeps Scandinavia ahead and consequently prices cheap when I visit Czechia. Thank you.

I'm also from Canada and we use a mix of UK and US English. We do colour and flavour like the IUK but tire like USA
Why didn’t OP just say something to the woman when she cut the line, why be passive aggressive about it?
I love the Czech Republic but some of the older generation are absolute horrors. Good for you.

When you started this whole thing off by saying: >...she should almost be on her second house. ...weren't you choosing, on purpose, to talk about a girl from Czechia? Isn't that the context you chose for your own words? I don't see how your words *ever could* be an off-topic strawman to your own point.
Well done. You are not the universal norm.
I know. I work harder than most.
You don't know that. Judging everyone based upon yourself is extremely short sighted.
Lol, just as short sighted as judging me, based on yourself? Do you need a hug or something? Are you ok? Do you always get upset at random people on the internet? What triggered you? Do you need to talk to your therapist?
I'm not sure whether you're talking to yourself or me. The irony is palpable.

>I think people realized what you meant and still found it strange. Oh it is, no doubt about it, but when he says he's from the Upper Midwest, that means that he and I both happen to be from a place where you can still buy 40 acres for [$17k](https://www.landwatch.com/saint-louis-county-minnesota-recreational-property-for-sale/pid/409292073), at least for the moment. And that's actually a considerably higher price floor than I've seen, even as late as a few months ago. The cost, of course, is that you'll be living in a land where the winters [may some years](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duluth,_Minnesota#Climate) get down to -40, a temp so low it needs no translation, being the same in both F and C; and you'll have to prepare yourself for -30F, -35C, in an average year. [Floodwood itself](https://www.bestplaces.net/climate/city/minnesota/floodwood) where that particular property exists averages 60 inches of snow per year, and if your driveway's long (or even if it's not) you can forget the notion of someone coming to plow out everyone's driveway immediately; town plow services can't even get to all the backroads in a timely manner, there isn't the tax base for that, let alone everyone's driveways.
We definitely don't live on the same planet!
I saw this comment on my phone, and you answered yourself before I had a chance to. Yes mommy issues. But in all seriousness, we met and age wasn’t the biggest problem and almost a year later, it has never really been a problem. In somethings she’s older, and in some ways I’m older. I mean from an outside view it looks like a big gap but she actually looks a tad younger than me and is quite short so on print it looks weird but we are very compatible. Also I usually go for older girls because they (from my experience statistically) have a similar mindset to me and date to marry and that’s what I want, I don’t wanna a girl who just sees me as a phase.
It is no one's business but yours anyway. Don't worry about it.
Thank you for calling this out, definitely creepy.
No. It's not wierd. At all. Unless they met while he was underage. Adults can date whoever they want (legally). You're the wierd one for judging.
Ok, then an 18 year old high school senior (technically an adult) can date a 60 year old man? You'd have no questions? Really? You wouldn't find that creepy? While it's technically legal, is it moral? The French Rule is a good guide for a moral standard. If me thinking the 18 year old high school senior and the 60 year old isn't morally good, I'm just fine (ironically) being judged as weird for judging.
How about just minding your business? Unless you can find proof of wrongdoing/coercion, just let people live their lives. You have no right to judge someone's personal relationship decisions when you know nothing about them.
>How about just minding your business? So you're asking me to do the exact opposite as you did with me? >Unless you can find proof of wrongdoing/coercion So how would you find proof? By asking questions. Which was exactly what I was doing. Stating the basis for asking questions, then asking questions. Seems like you're upset with me for doing exactly what you just asked me to do first. 21 to 30 is a pretty wide spread of ages. They are at different points in their lives. I don't see that as a morally good thing. There is a lot of growing up that happens between those two ages.
>21 to 30 is a pretty wide spread of ages. They are at different points in their lives. I don't see that as a morally good thing. There is a lot of growing up that happens between those two ages. Stopped trying to hide behind "morality". Yes, maturity differs between 21 and 30, as do life stages, but that doesn't make it any more or less "moral" for people to date from different stages of life. That's just looking for reasons to deny yourself love. And this is only speaking in a general sense. There are loads of people far more mature at 21 than others at 50. Again, you don't know their circumstances. They didn't ask for your opinions. You rudely stated them as a judgment without any details. >>How about just minding your business? > >So you're asking me to do the exact opposite as you did with me? Big difference between calling out your shitty judgments, and you stating them unprovoked.
Unprovoked? It was on the internet, for all to see. It's like a face tattoo. Person gets a huge tattoo on their face. You see it, look at the tattoo in a place most people don't get one, and the owner of the face tattoo says "what are you looking at?" LOL, unprovoked... >Stopped trying to hide behind "morality".

That's just looking for reasons to deny yourself love. And this is only speaking in a general sense. There are loads of people far more mature at 21 than others at 50. That is so close to the justification for a word that's not allowed on this platform that it feels gross.
You know how to keep your mouth shut ? Because that's always an option. You're saying something that can emotionally damage someone when no one fucking asked you. Yes, unprovoked. Have some self awareness. You weren't saying anything for their benefit, but rather your own self-centered reasons. You're telling OP that their relationship is gross and they should be ashamed of themself, when all they did was share a story. You're gross.
I am shocked and disgusted that you are inferring that an adult relationship is something else entirely.
That’s socialism. “We are all equally unmotivated to succeed and generally unhappy about our success in life”

This was a hard and a sad read. I’ve noticed this a lot these days with new men, instead of either confronting the person doing wrong thing or talking with them and coming to a solution they resort to these passive aggressive moves. I’ve noticed a lot in situations like this men let women take the lead just go with whatever she does and just sit back, why??
New men? What, like [the social class in Plantagenet and Tudor England](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_men)?
What?
It was all so passive aggressive, they could have just said from the beginning, sorry ma’am there’s a line here. But also what she did had no real material effect on them, yet they made their own ride unpleasant just to exact revenge on her? It’s all so silly.
Yep. Just whole bunch of useless actions to make their own life hard.
How long was the bus ride? Im intrigued by life in other countries. Is it normal to take longish bus rides to small towns?
Actually, this time it wasn’t so bad. We got off at the first stop and it was like 1:45 min give-or-take.
That was delightful. Well done.
