r/AITA I Sued My Own Dad

Bro mixed AM and PM again

2 episodes in one day? I know it was as an accident but I’m not complaining, thanks RSlash for the unintended schedule mistake

I have Autism (Asperger's), and I know how to behave. I read books whenever I go out to eat, quiet and entertaining. The mom is just a bad parent who can't set boundaries and teach her kid right.

The cold water story obviously has so much more than what we are being given. The water is a small part of everything she's been asking him to do for over 20 years!

I lived with someone for 20 years who also refused to change the diverter. It annoyed me, but I learned to change it before I got into the shower. It was annoying, but I got my work around. I've always gotten into the shower then turned the water on. *shrug* I kind of wish that he was still around to annoy me like that. He passed away 6 years ago.

If these relatives are so concerned why don't THEY give the dad money? Everyone has an opinion but never want to back it up.

As someone allergic to dairy, and all other mammalian products, the amount of times I have to tell people that, yes, I can eat eggs, astounds me. EGGS ARE NOT DAIRY PEOPLE.

Story 1: Maybe it’s bc “push the diverter down after you shower” is a basic courtesy rule in my house too, but I was pretty surprised by how vehement RSlash was in that first story lol. I’m pretty sure leaving that thing in the “shower” position can wear out the gasket, btw, so it’s not even just a courtesy rule like putting down the toilet seat. Also, she isn’t necessarily standing in the shower when she’s turning it on. My shower’s faucet is on the same end of the tub as the toilet, so I have to lean over it to turn it on. I’ve definitely gotten a surprise cold shock bc someone left the diverter up.

My brother used to forget to put the diverter down. My dad told him to not do it a lot, he didn’t listen. My dad would spray my brother with a cold water bottle to help remind him. My dad wouldn’t get in the shower, but it would hit him in the face when he reached in to turn it on. The spraying worked so 🤷‍♀️

Story 2: With the exception of a Power Shower, which heats the water as it comes into the unit and still has a little lag time, I don't know of any other shower that doesn't need some time for the hot water to get through the pipes to the shower head.
