Just to be clear, when he said that her code is convoluted, he meant that she's a much more advanced programmer than he is.

"But I got married in the offseason" is crazy lol getting married unlocked so many new jokes

As a woman that studied a CS Major, I've always run into men that want to mess up my grade and generally make working with them impossible. One time, I had to spend an entire day at the college library/data center working on code with my project partner. He then proceeded to ask if this counted as a date because we had spent the day together, and when I simply stated that we're just working on a project, he decided to sabotage my part of the work at every chance he got. Even started calling me a trator because at some point he asked me to be his gf and I declined. Another project partner stole my work and presented it in front of class because his presentation day was a whole day before mine. I feel like being a woman in a male-dominated work/study environment can be extra harsh. Every woman I meet in these kinds of work/study environments had has eerily familiar or relatable experiences to mine.

About the coding story: something I haven’t seen anybody mention so far is the fact that she will FAIL the course unless he clears things up with the professor. Not only will that tank her GPA, but also impact her financially! College tuition is insanely expensive, and scholarship/grant money usually doesn’t cover courses you have to repeat because you failed! Not only is OP a MAJOR asshole, he’s also potentially putting his classmate into the hole for thousands more dollars in tuition. What an absolute scumbag.

Female computer programmer here: one thing that wasn't mentioned is that it's a male-dominated profession where there's often a lot of bias against women. That guy saying his partner's code was "convoluted"? I wonder if he just didn't understand it and assumed she did a bad job. The tutor saying it would be easier to write in another language? I wonder if that's the language the tutor was more familiar with. The partner was clearly trying to be accommodating by letting him rewrite everything she'd done, and her only mistake seems to be underestimating how much time it would take for her to learn what may have been an ENTIRELY NEW PROGRAMMING LANGUAGE in order to do one last part. It sounds like she could have finished the whole thing by herself in the language they originally agreed on. And he wasn't even allowed to use a tutor?! My jaw hit the floor.

20 seconds in and Angela immediately turns into a demon. It's great to see your heroes at work

I’m always so amazed that people can recount their story so accurately where they’re SO OBVIOUSLY in the wrong and still ask if they’re the asshole.

Chanse saying all the quiet parts out loud is killing me!!!! “Okay so you don’t know a gay person”

Second story: I would bet money that the whole family is toxic and this isn’t the first time something like this has happened. The mother knew the brother and his gf were going to announce their pregnancy and instead of discouraging it she helped them. They got photos with everyone but those family members…. It seems like whatever is going on is a lot deeper than this one incident. Instead of uninviting them they let them come however they wanted to avoid any of their bs so they left. Which if the family is really toxic might be the best thing to do.

as a CS degree-holder, the idea of him translating C++ code into Rust being ‘him doing the code’ is insane. that’s not writing code, even disregarding the academic dishonesty that is claiming the tutor’s work as his own. writing code is not just typing the functions, it is thinking through and figuring out the logic of what you want to do that is the biggest hurdle. i hope that OP gets found out for academic dishonesty and has the consequences he deserves

If I was at the wedding reception and was told the couple wouldn't be showing up and then heard it was because of the selfish other brother and his partner wanting to announce their pregnancy or what not, I would absolutely cheer my absent friends and have fun at the reception regardless. I wouldn't feel slighted - if I was close enough with the newlyweds, I'd understand, and if I wasn't close enough, hey, free food.

Nothing like "hey bro congratz on getting married, but I'm going to use your party to celebrate my special announcement rather than pay for my own party"

first story is already making me feel very midwestern bc i thought it was very normal to know your mailman 😭 if you’re working on your house outside often, you’re simply gonna see the mailman, and god knows us midwesterners can’t resist a friendly hello

I would not want to spend my wedding reception with people who would try upstage me on the day where its a celebration of my wife and I. Also im guessing that, like with a lot of these stories, this isnt the only time theyve tried do something like this. The fact that the family tired to do it in secret tells me they know the brother who was getting married would have had a problem with it.

I had the DJ ready at my wedding with clown music incase someone decided to propose. I was like "yeah throw down!"

I died laughing at the people who dipped at they’re own reception 😂😂😂😂 they literally said “nope you aren’t going to ruin our wedding”

Chanse and Angela really are the perfect duo for this

from the first story - sounds like she works from home. she might just look forward to talking to someone besides her partner all day.

With the fifth story I think with the way he treated her after, he must have been confusing “friends with benefits” with “fuck buddies” because that’s not how you treat a real friend

last story is like a cartoon him: booho me no get sandwich her: cartoon image of her cooking, cleaning, takin care of kids,... doing everything.
