    Also what a lot of people forget is when you pull a “prank” about a serious situation and scare or upset a person then reveal its a prank, you still put that person through the emotional trauma as if it were real. They thought it was real even if only for a minute and had real stress and anxiety and even sometimes trauma

    When my husband makes a "joke" i find rude, offensive and/or just plain unfunny, I have started asking him " what's the punchline?" It has made him more aware about his "jokes" and more understanding of my feelings and my reaction emotionally. I learned that from here. Thank you Morgan and all the other THT hosts for helping me and my husband be more emotionally aware of how we speak to each other. It is a habit, clearly one he wants to break though. Thinking things through before you speak is something we should learn a lot earlier than our late 20s haha.

    Story 3: I grew up around servants and even I get uncomfortable sometimes when other’s don’t treat them right.
    The issue lies in the details; when someone’s job is to literally take care of your needs it can be difficult to separate their duties from your personal responsibility.
    OP is considerate but they should consider the perspective of those servants; they’re attending to the people of the house’s needs, that’s their literal job. So to them, OP means well but is actually interfering with their work.
    Even making the bed; my mother always makes her bed in the morning, but our maid remakes it to her standards 😅 she’s just like that, I ask her not clean my room and she does it anyway; it’s like an itch that she has, she likes to have things clean and organised and taken care of.
    I love our maid, she’s part of the family, and she knows it. Just because you’re not used to something doesn’t make it wrong, sometimes you just need to be open minded to other lifestyles. 💁🏽‍♀️

      I agree it might be interfering with the jobs. I was a housekeeper and a personal care aid, where I worked in people's homes. I would get a little annoyed when I was supposed to do something as part of my job and a client did it themselves. It made me feel like I wasn't good enough to do it for them. It's so weird because if I gave examples it would seem like the person was being really nice but I took it as a personal attack against my work. Also if you do my work for me, then I have nothing to do and I'm wasting my time.

      In my country no one has servants. For many years it was the people here who would be servants for others, either for the colonising class here or by going abroad. I think maybe that's why it's the norm here to help cleaners or waiters etc. and to thank them profusely. When I was a child our teachers would have us clean the classroom at the end of every day and one time our principal said "you may think it's silly to clean this room when someone else is being paid to clean it later - but just because it's their job does not mean that we have to make their job harder". That seems to be the general attitude most people have here. Even if we don't do anything to actively help, people always ask if there's a way they can make someone's job easier - like moving out of the way if someone is hoovering, or moving all the empty plates towards where the waiter is so that they don't have to walk around into narrow corners. That sort of thing.

      To me this feels cultural. Like, I would feel as uncomfortable as the bf, but I also know people have their own rules in their own home. Maybe you don't want someone touching your appliances because you're very particular and don't want them to start using your stuff? Maybe you don't want them coming into the kitchen? Maybe making your own food or drink looks like you don't like the host's? Being mindful of that and respecting others' life choices if they feel comfortable with it and/or take personal pride.

    First story: NTA, a good friend would let their friend know that. It’s not healthy to build your entire personality and base your hobbies only on who you’re dating. It shows that she’s very insecure in herself that she relies on a man to know herself.
    Second story: fuck around and find out unfortunately.
    Third story: NTA. When I went to Thailand I found it so uncomfortable how people jumped to serve us and was always appreciative and tried to lessen their load. If I was with someone who lavished in being served and told me to let them because it’s their job I’d be very uncomfortable. I don’t think you can be the asshole for being put off by people being completely unfazed by being served like royalty. It shows they probably just aren’t compatible long term due to their differences.

      Yes! I agree with your take on the first story. And I’ll add that what her friend needs is some time alone. I don’t recall her age but it seems like she never had the time to gain a sense of self. She’s always someone’s friend/daughter/gf & didn’t develop an identity outside of what she can provide to others.
      I would advise her not to invest so much too. It’s ok to take part while she’s around her gamer bf but she needs time to sit & think. Maybe create a vision board. Create standards and boundaries. Self love should be paramount.

Some support in the direction of discovering what her own interests are.
      BUT I can also see one might get frustrated with seeing this somewhat weird behavior and tell this insight from a place where you are just releasing this frustration you have. Both can be happening at the same time but it's important to deliver the message with your heart in it, with the goal to help her make her feel better.

    I have 2 theories for the divorce prank: 1. I think the one of the “friends” likes the husband and the others think he’d be better with her, so they came up with the “prank” while planting doubt in her husbands head about his marriage before hand. Which is why he left without saying anything. 2. I think the husband and one of her “friends” are having an affair and the other girls know about it and are fine with it, so they all came up with the “prank” to give an easy out, the husband leaves without looking like a cheater. Just looks like he was “blindsided” and moved on after. Thank you for coming to my Ted talk.

    Story 3 -
    I don’t think he’s the asshole for voicing that he felt uncomfortable, that being said from the information given it doesn’t sound like they were ever rude to the staff. All she said was “don’t bother that’s her job” and “you should have let the kitchen staff make your coffee” which are both true statements, more than likely they are being paid extremely well to do those tasks. It’s like if I went into a restaurant and was like “it’s ok I’ll go put my own order in and grab my own food” then the manager sends the waitress home because he’s overstaffed and she looses out on pay. You can feel uncomfortable and you can choose to not stay there again but it’s not your place to judge them for being wealthy.

      Exactly! I think the gf was so right calling him out for judging how her family lives. Imagine if it was the other way around. If that’s what her family can afford and the people make a good wage and are treated well- I’m not saying it’s completely “right” but it doesn’t sound wrong. Even people of lesser means get maid services or dream of having private chefs because they hate cooking etc. Not everything that makes someone uncomfortable immediately equals wrong

  • @nicolettevita3061
    @nicolettevita3061 หลายเดือนก่อน +114

    Controversial I think the story 3 has no assholes. I totally understand why someone would be uncomfortable being served if they’re not used to it, I certainly would be, but the examples he gave of the mistreatment truly didn’t seem that bad to me. Maybe I’m granted them too much Grace and assuming their tone wasn’t rude/demeaning, but “oh you don’t have to clean, that’s her job” …it is, she’s being paid to do that. Plus, she presumably knows the routine in the house, much like how you’d do your own cleaning after a guest leaves even if they technically clean up after themselves. The only one I could see being bad is the coffee situation, but at the same time, if you paid someone to do a service and then saw them not doing a service, i don’t think it’s wrong to bring it up. Bratty on her part, sure, but considering it sounds like the family spoke to him before the chefs, i just don’t see anything wrong on their part. Again, though, this is assuming their tone wasn’t outwardly rude, which op doesn’t make it sound like it was, more casual, which can be expected if this is the lifestyle they’re used to but he’s not

    • @baltoen_
      @baltoen_ หลายเดือนก่อน +14

      I completely agree, it depends on the tone.
      Cause as long as the staff is only doing stuff they've agreed on and not expected to do more than on the contract, it's okay.
      And you can still do kind things within that agreement like, not leaving trash everywhere or maybe removing bedsheets when they need washing. Or make your own coffee when they're busy cooking.
      And being kind to people makes them better employees. As a former hotel maid I really appreciated small things people did to make my job easier.
      But saying it's part of their job isn't rude or unkind either.

    with story 1, as someone who has borderline personality disorder i acted very similar to the girl blowing money before i started getting treated. when we form these anxious attachments with partners, we do something called mirroring. we literally mirror their personality, and this is done to an extreme extent when untreated. the impulsivity of blowing money is another symptom, and so is her feeling like she has no hobbies or general sense of self. additionally, when i was undiagnosed, i would also be the friend who “always had a bf” or was “always talking to someone” because of this lack of identity that comes from bpd. i’m NOT diagnosing this girl bc it’s such a complex disorder, but it’s something to think about.

    with story 3, my take on what would be the ideal dynamic is that you let them do their job, because you respect their proficiency at what they do, but you also show that respect when talking to them. serving is their job, not their identity. i think in the end anyone should be able to feel proud of their skills and and feel recognised, respected and appreciated for giving you their time and effort, regardless of the nature of their job. it's as simple as that, have decency. don't do their work for them, but also don't disrespect them based on their work.

    2nd story: I think there's definitely something else we're not knowing about the situation. It's obviously just my opinion, but OP isn't taking any accountability for the prank. She says her friends pushed her to do it, but ultimately she made the decision to prank him,. She says she watched her friend's husbands reactions videos and then she was convinced, disregarding the fact that, as you said, is so manipulative to threaten your husband with divorce to make him change his personality. Also, as you said, she waited for him to leave the house to say it was a joke? Didn't cross her mind he might be in their room crying his eyes out? What the actual f??? Again, just my opinion, but how did this marriage work if after you asked for a divorce your partner gets up, lock himself in your bedroom (I'm guessing for a while since he was packing), and you do not get up to check up on them?

    As far as story #3, I would love to offer a different perspective. Imagine staying at a hotel and making the bed. It might seem nice but it actually creates more work for the staff who have to strip the bed and clean the sheets.
    Imagine ordering coffee at a coffee shop and going behind the counter because you want to make it yourself. You’re actually getting in the way of the staff, potentially making a bigger mess for them to clean up, etc.
    Don’t interfere with someone else’s job. They are being paid to work a job they chose.

      I think, personally, that in the context of the coffee it was more like a "normal" kitchen where he made himself a coffee. It would make me uncomfortable to feel like I'm pestering household staff when I can just as easily make myself a coffee, and for the girlfriend to complain to the mother about the staff not making the coffee before talking to OP first doesn't sit right with me. Although I have never had any experience with "household" staff and the whole concept is really foreign to me.

    Story 3: This is something I've thought about a lot. I know OP is trying to come from a place of kindness but I've always wondered if this isn't just as insulting to the workers. It feels like he thinks having a domestic staff job is something to be pitied still like they're 1800s peasants or something.
    For example, him listing the mom asking the housekeeper to make the bed as an example of something that "made him uncomfortable". Imagine if it wasn't a housekeeper but a plumber and she asked them to unclog a drain. Sure, that might've been something OP could've done themselves but I doubt it would make them uncomfortable to hear the mom ask a plumber to do that. And it also would not be weird for her to ask OP to let a professional handle it. But as a society we consider plumbing a respectable career and I don't think we can say the same for housework.
    That being said, I do think there's more nuance to this story with the girlfriend being mad the chefs "let him" make a cup of coffee and the standing against the wall while everyone else eats seems a little weird. But yeah I don't think OP is actually helping any of them. I think they just deserve more respect all around

    For me the beach house story is like when they tell you not to make your own bed at a hotel, because the staff is going to have to remake it anyway. As someone who has both worked in service and lived in a house with a housekeeper, the one red flag I see is the girlfriend complaining to her parents about the cooks. But for example I have rented a place where the landlord paid for someone to come deep clean the house every other month, and at first we would really try to clean and tidy the place as much as possible the day before the cleaning lady came. Then we realized that by doing that not only were we unknowingly cutting her hours, but we weren’t doing as good a job as she would have done anyway. So we started scheduling her on weeks when we’re especially overwhelmed, this way she would get a full day of work out of it and we would get a break when we needed it most.

Which I agree with honestly because I could never feel safe with someone after they said that and even if it was a joke I wouldnt want to be with someone who sees our marriage as the punchline of a joke.
    Edit: this kind of sounds like the reaction of a traumatized person. I might be projecting too but since I have PTSD and severe trust issues, someone could go from a trustworthy person who cares about me to untrustworthy and unpredictable in a split second. And for me at least at that point, my mind wound start to wander. Would they hurt me physically too? Can i sleep next to this person? Can i eat anything they made me ever again?

    I’d say no assholes here; they just need better communication and understanding of each other’s very different backgrounds.

It's literally their job. It's not offensive to say that out loud in front of the job. I am assuming they are aware 🤪.
      The second example is a bit weird because the girlfriend just assumes the staff did a bad job. That could be very telling about her opinion of their staff. It could also just mean that she thinks so differently from her boyfriend that she would have never guessed he choose to do it himself.
      The last example tho, that just feels degrading to me. Making their staff stand there. It feels like a movie. Then again, it's not what I am used to and I can see it can be seen as normal. That's a lot of words to tell you, I am not sure. 😂

What he did is sane and rational and correct. You sound like one of that woman’s psycopath friends that enjoys manipulating and playing mind games on their partners

      Whats crazy is people being labled as over the top, when reacting appropretetly to someone saying they want divorce. Whilst reacating to a bad ppt joke warrants a breakup. Granted it was a distasteful joke, but what peoples limits are and takes are, is off base.

    Story 1 I 100% say NTA. I personally love gaming and I’ve been doing it for the past 18 years of my life. Even I’M not about to drop that much on a gaming computer. I don’t think dropping that much money on a hobby you don’t even know if you like is responsible and I’d be concerned if one of my friends made that decision too.

    Story 3: At first, i was team NTA, but after hearing the top comment, I ended up going towards no assholes. It made me reflect on my time working at Little Caesars. I loved customer service and it was literally my job to provide it. I would be aghast if someone tried to place their own order or make their own food. Let me work for you, you just come inside and I'll make sure to treat you and put a smile on your face. That being said, I never had house servants growing up, and to be treated like royalty would throw me COMPLETELY off.
    OP was voicing his concerns, and the gf took offense at his accusations. In his eyes, they're all being entitled pricks. In their eyes, they are allowing their servants to work and cater to their guests, but someone interfered and got them in trouble. If anything, i think it was probably the gfs responsibility to prepare him for an obvious shock, but despite that, no assholes. Just expressing feelings over an awkward situation for the guy who did not know how to handle and process it all

    Story 1 is basically the plot to the movie Runaway Bride with Julia Roberts lol.
    NTA.
    Her friend is voicing her needs for new hobbies. After complaining she wasted $2500 on a gaming rig.
    Which is the PERFECT opportunity for OP to tell her some tough love truth.
    OP wasn’t even as harsh as she could’ve been.
    Sometimes ppl need someone to be BLUNT with them for them to wake up.
    That’s literally what friends are for. Not to feed into your unhealthy delulu cycles.

    Story 1: codependency is one of my pet peeves so they were WAY nicer than I would’ve been. I also think, past codependency, anyone who’s had their friend massively fuck up and then be like “hm why is my life so hard” is insanely annoying 😭 sometimes people need tough love, and yeah the OP DEFINITELY could’ve said it nicer, but I completely understand why she was annoyed. There’s a difference between looking for hobbies and dropping $2500 once your bf says he likes gaming. Even in the pursuit of love or interests, actions CAN be harmful

    Story #3: I'm poor but yeah honestly nothing OP describe sounded like poor treatment of the staff (except maybe going to the mom about the coffee, but even then it's possibly because the mom manages that stuff typically). The staff are professionals being paid to do a job that they consented to do, and if anything the OP's attitude felt unintentionally demeaning as it was like he acting like they were indentured servants who didn't know better. You want to be good to house staff? Thank them for their work, tip them if they accept tips, and maybe even have an actual conversation and ask them what you can do to make their jobs easier. The bit about the coffee totally grinded my gears as I've worked in enough kitchens to know that professional kitchens have a rhythm that they do every day - and that dude was 100% getting in the way.

    On the butler story… I think also NTA. The boyfriend HAD to say something because it really speaks to a divide in values and expectations that needs to be discussed with a partner. He also waited until after the trip and I think that thoughtfulness makes me think he probably did approach it tastefully. A guy that is going to fly off the handle isn’t going to wait out of respect.

    Story 1, NTA and I think a good friend WOULD tell their homies this. It doesn’t need to come from a therapist as feelings aren’t something we should be sheltered from. If the friend gets hurt/offended by the comment, then that creates an opportunity to discuss it more deeply. There are many times we avoid saying things that will ultimately help the other person grow and strengthen the relationship. And sometimes relationships expire. Really, think about the relationships that you’ve lost but the wisdom you’ve gained from them. We learn resilience through hardships.

      Yeah, the smarmy bs he pulled was unacceptable. It's one thing to say "Hey a little heavy on the garlic this time" here and there, but it's way diffrent than compiling a list of criticisms over a period of time and going out of your way to make your partner, who does 100% of the cooking, feel small and stupid. That's not how you treat people. I really get the vibe he was seeing how far he could push op.

    story #3 this reminds me of my entitled aunt. When we were in our teens we went to a hotel together and the room was a disaster. I made a comment about it and she said "thats what the maids are for", that's when i knew we viewed the world so differently and it always left a bad taste in my mouth. While part of me did think that it is part of the job, they are used to it and doing any of their work would leave them to have less to do meaning less money, that doesnt mean you treat them poorly. You can still treat them kindly and not treat them like robots while expecting them to do the same quality work

    Sadly, the butler story, OP was the asshole. He was telling the tale exclusively from his perspective.
    I've been on all three sides: server, guest, and host, and I can tell you that this man ran all the way to self-righteous hill to die there.
    First, the hosts were not rude. They did not call the staff names or tell the driver to wash their knickers or tell the cooks to serve them breakfast in bed. They were simply acknowledging the fact that it was their job, and in a way, strengthening the relationship by reiterating that the staff was trusted to handle that.
    By refusing, you made the staff look incompetent and if they were insecure or new they would worry about their place and position. People do take pride in doing their jobs right, and enjoy being valued for their work.
    OP didn't move there. He was there for a short time which also coincided with a big event. He doesn't know them and possibly has never been a server.
    I think the gf was wrong not to ask about why the coffee was not made for them. However, I bet the cook and staff were pissed about having some guest bumble around their kitchen looking for stuff and making a mess for them to put away when they could have made everything easily and more efficiently.
    When a guest washes and puts away a butterknife in the wrong place...who do you think gets blamed?

    I'm kinda shocked at the comments and on all the opinions on story1. Nobody notices how OP did not even ask anything? They didn't ask the friend why is she doing this, and didn't even try to help her find her own hobby. Instead OP just told her that she can't find a hobby, didn't help her, so just called her out in front of everyone, and then OP even called her "ridiculous" Is this what you would say to your friend if you were worried about them? Because to me it seems like OP just looks down on her for struggling.
