We'll see. You said the same thing yesterday and you were wrong.
It might also help this thread if you don't immediately dump on the post everyday. You're kinda poisoning the well.

I'm not a big reddit user and have been sourcing these from "React Court" videos by some guy called NorthernLion that I watched with my nephew.
Both of the last two generated some fun conversation, so I thought they'd work here.

You actually were wrong. I stated the reason I agreed with the neighbor making a fuss and also provided a logical reason why you don’t dump your trash in other peoples bins
You’re either too high on your horse to admit you were wrong or didn’t actually read what I said and jumped to a conclusion. Because it was me. Either case you are the asshole
Did the Mother Fucker pay extra to yell?

The shared garbage/can doesn’t apply to many people/situations, so that’s a stretch to say he’s emphatically wrong.

Re: RM Court - AITA
I've never torn open a package of something and consumed it in the store. I HAVE grabbed a soda out of the coolers near check out and drank that while shopping.
The Costco guy's an asshole. Can you imagine marrying someone who's citing civil code at you while you're trying to get through a grocery store with a 2 and 4 year old, and then leaves you because you didn't do what he said?
"she's acting rude to me and just told me that she thinks I don't care about her at all and I treat her like crap, all on the base of what happened earlier" -- Yeah, it's definitely based on more than just what happened earlier.
