I work as a bridal sales associate. The other day I’m assigned my bride, I do the normal introduction of myself, I ask the bride if she’s tried on any dress before. She says yes, I ask if she has any photos, she seems annoyed and says no.

I ask her what size the dresses she was trying on were and how they fit, she tells me a 30 and that they fit well. I kindly explain to her that we don’t carry many size 30 dresses in the store (we have probably 150 dresses and only 3 are a size 30).

But that we can try 26/28s and if she finds “the dress” she can order it in a 30 as we have that size available online. I start pulling the size 30s we have to show her, she hates all of them, tells me “how about I just pull dresses myself since you can’t seem to do it”. I tell her that’s fine I’ll start her a dressing room. I ask another coworker to try and assist her since she definitely wasn’t wanting to work with me.

She was just as rude to my coworker, so I go back over to her + her family/friends. She pulls out a size 14 dress (a dress I know we only have that one off in the store) I tell her that and she still insisted to try it on, I’m walking on eggshells here so I tell her, in a sympathetic tone “well as this is a size 14 so I’d recommend we don’t try this on, we won’t wanna try and be squeezing you into it” since I felt like if I said honestly “this dress is many sizes smaller then the dress size you’ve told me fits you” she would get even more aggressive towards me.

She just puts the dress back and walks away from me so I give up and ask my sales manager if they can try and assist her. She does and she is suddenly all nice and polite to my manager and ends up finding a dress. I continue my shift till my sales manager calls me over and tells me this customer said I “brought up her weight and made her feel insecure about her size” ???

I nod my head and listen to my manager and tell her I appreciate the feedback and I’ll make sure not to mention that again but I didn’t think I DID TO BEGIN WITH?

Was there a way I should’ve handled the situation differently? I specifically tried to not say directly “you’re to big for this dress”? This really pissed me off,I can admit my faults/mistakes, I just honestly don’t see what I did wrong here?

As well as the fact that this woman tried to get me in major trouble with my manager and affect my job because she didn’t like the wording I chose to explain to her something glaringly obvious (her being 8 sizes larger than the dress she was asking to try on).

This kind of customers are a waste of space and wasting more oxygen on earth.

To start, this is about inheritance.

My father died nearly 10 years ago, he left no money to his daughters but his will says that if our mum sells the house that the money from that should be split equally between my 2 sisters and me, after mum has bought herself somewhere.

The condo is worth $1 million at least.

Now, there are 3 sisters, one has 2 condos already, the other 2 have no houses at all. The one with 2 houses says she can raise $600,000 to buy the house from mum. Mum would buy somewhere outright with $400,000 (and I think to keep some cash for a rainy day fund, which we all think is right), and give $90,000 to each sister with no houses for deposits.

These are good deposits and will be very helpful. But if mum sold the house at market value, the amount each sister with no house would get is much more.

I pointed out that this isn’t a fair split. I’ve suggested that the sister buying the house pays rent to mum the remaining percentage of the home that she hasn’t bought.

The sister who wants to buy the house ambushed me yesterday. I had a day off, no child just a day off for me. I never get time on my own, and it’s been really stressful recently so I was really looking forward to having a day to get back into a hobby I gave up 6 years ago when I had my son. But no. Sister asks if we can go out for coffee. Turns out she’s driving me 20km away to the house so we can all sit down to discuss her master plan.

On the way home, we hit traffic and I couldn’t take her chastising me for not being “grateful” for the $90k. I am grateful. But I’m also aware that the “haves” is asking the “have nots” to subsidise her lifestyle and is now asking us to be happy and grateful for it as well. It pissed me off enormously, and I got out of the car and have blocked her on everything. I think she’s asking me to give her something I can’t afford to give.

Am I the jerk for saying the arrangement on the table isn’t fair? Should I be grateful to my sister for “saving the house from strangers”? Or have I got it all wrong and it is a fair arrangement after all? Am I the devil for blocking my sister after she said I should stop focusing on what I’m not getting and focus on what I am getting ($90k)?

I am currently taking Introduction to Python, my mom signed me up to learn on weekends cause my mom doesn’t want me like regular teenagers who waste time on weekends; basically, it’s coding and computer science. It’s a fairly moderately difficult course, and I only started getting better after Christmas.

So basically last week my teacher wasn’t in the classroom because she was helping with administrative stuff. This was last Tuesday when I did the assignment, which was building a chatbot. The substitute teacher played the wrong video. He played the advanced computer science video, so some directions I could’ve gotten weren’t given. We tried to tell him but he didn’t listen.

Fast forward to yesterday, I did the assignment and turned it in. I took around 10-15 minutes on it, which is quick for me, but I’d been practising my coding in my spare time.

So yesterday, the teacher brings up that if we cheated we’d get a zero. I found it weird that she even thought to bring this up seeing as my class and I are good kids (as in none of us talk back) I shrugged it off.

Then, I go to check my grade for it and see I got a 0. I’m like “wtf?” and start panicking. My friend who did an assignment similar to mine got a 20/20. So then I start panicking and then proceed to have a panic attack. My friend manages to calm me down, and I go to the teacher.

I ask her about it, and she was like “Your answer was exactly like the answer key. How?” And I’m like “I don’t know, I just did what the assignment told me to do.” She then accuses me of cheating, saying that I probably looked up the answers online. Which no, I didn’t. I have since checked my search history and found nothing relating to it. She says that I only took 10-15 minutes when I “couldn’t even do a variable and took 30 minutes to do that previously”. Which is untrue. Yes, I struggled with coding, but I’ve gotten better at it through practice.

After having no luck with her, I just take the L. I go home and tell my grandma, and she is beyond pissed that I would be accused of cheating. She offered to go to the school, but I told her no. She told me I need to stand up for myself.

Should I go back with my grandma? I don’t want to make her mad at me, but I also don’t like being accused of cheating when I really didn’t. I love coding, and I genuinely have been practising.
