In this task you are given an anecdote, which recount a complex ethical situation. The question you are given is, has the author of the anecdote acted ethically? answer this question with "RIGHT" or "WRONG".

Just found this sub today, and I'd be grateful for a crowd-sourced opinion.

A few months ago one of my best friends got a new roommate, and the roommate and I have been becoming pretty good friends.  He and I are pretty candid with one another, talk about various life stuff, and joke around a lot.  He's also the only person I know that will call instead of texting, and he and I have had a few good phone convos in the past few months (I know! In 2018-2019!).

Anyways, things have been going pretty well, and I'm happy to have made a new friend.  The only problem is, I can not STAND hearing him eat.  I'm very sensitive to "mouth-noises," and the sound of someone opening their mouth while chewing is one of the most uncomfortable sounds I've ever experienced; it's like nails on a chalkboard times 10 for me.  It's not something I can think away either, it's an uncontrollable physical response to hearing someone open their mouth while chewing.

Now I realize that this is MY problem, and I don't want to tell anyone how they should eat.  And I've also avoided the situation a few times by just not eating with him.  Except there have been many times when I'm hanging out with my other friend (his roommate), and he'll sit next to me on the couch and eat his dinner, and I'll be crawling out of my skin with how uncomfortable I am.  I even lean as far away as I can and nonchalantly cover my closest ear, and it's still not enough. He is honestly the loudest chewer I've ever met in my life.

So here's the question: WIBTA if I talked to him about it?  He has OCD and I have OCPD tendencies, and he and I have talked about our "things," so I feel like bringing it up in that context might work? I realize that this is *my* issue, and I plan on framing it as such.  I just don't know what else to do; I can't just up and leave the room every time he's around me with food.

Thanks for any input, Reddit!

My heater went out in my house. Entire line was dead. I tracked it down the fusebox and called a HVAC guy to come change the fuse box.

I should also mention there is fusebox disconnect that I had assumed was my furnace but I am not an AC guy. 

The HVAC guy comes in and tests the disconnect (believes it goes to my electric furnace) and there is power from the disconnect but there is no power to the furnace. He claims the fusebox is fine and that I shouldnt fix what isnt broken.

He cuts the wire from the aforementioned disconnect and runs to the furnace with a new wire directly to it.

He leaves after I pay him 300 dollars for this.

Well come to find out that disconnect was my fucking stove. I no longer have an oven working.

My friend comes by the next day and starts finding all sorts of things wrong with his installation. 

I end up paying someone else to install a breaker box in place of the old fuse box and now everything works again like it should.

AITA for wanting my money back?

Background: I'm on a college sports team. Weight doesn't matter in our sport. We have a wide variety of body types, from itty bitty pixies to tall, buff Amazons. One teammate, let's call her Joanne, has a pretty similar body to mine: slim with muscular legs and, because we're 18-22 year old women, there's a lot of insecurity about the way we look.

While we were at practice one day, Joanne was looking at herself in the mirror, poking at her belly and frowning.

Joanne: I'm so fat.

Me: No you aren't! You look great.

Joanne: That's nice of you to say, but it only matters what I think.

Joanne pulls the same thing on two more teammates at different points in the day, fishing for a compliment, then saying that it doesn't matter. After she tells the third person that their opinion doesn't matter, I say, "If you don't want our opinions, maybe don't talk about it around us." She gave me a look (kind of offended) and said "Well I was just saying..."
