Chapter 1: What is the theme of 'Justifiable Crash Out' Part 2?
You can get 15% off all Colgate Optic White products at shop.colgate.com with code 2HOTTAKES. Always use as directed. Today. We are getting into the part two for Justifiable Crash Out. And I don't know if it's because I mentioned crashing out. Like my whole TikTok page since recording with Mikayla has been crash outs. Oh, yeah. They're listening. Crash outs.
And I got this one girl who posted a video and she was like crashing out at work because this middle-aged woman tried to take credit for something I did. So I responded to everyone on the Slack chain and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, that it was my work. And it was like really satisfying.
And it got even funnier because then Microsoft commented on her video and was like, yeah, assert your dominance, queen. And then she like made a video to that comment. She goes, remember when you fired me two years ago? Like she had previously worked for Microsoft. And then people were like being like, oh, my God, I can't believe you made this video. That's so funny. And she said something.
I'm going to first I'm going to open this bottle just in case it just explodes.
I feel like again. Maybe I'm not understanding the story, but I feel like these aren't bad business decisions. She's crashing out.
But she said something really, really, really good. Okay, so I found the video. It's from Sham. And she says, silence fails. Always crash out. It felt very prolific. Yeah. It felt mantra. You know what I mean? I just usually crash out like behind the scenes. See, and she doesn't.
Yeah.
Because silence fails.
What does silence get you?

Chapter 2: Is it wrong to bring an older man to Easter dinner after family betrayal?
satisfying for me it's funny it is funny it's so funny when you're not involved okay moving on to story number two trigger warning on this one friends it does contain talks of a physical altercation and i feel like it could be triggering for those that have dealt with any physical attacks or abuse so proceed with caution on this one markers are in the description
This is 16 Days Old Now, coming from AITAH. It is titled, Am I the Asshole for Refusing to Apologize for Slapping My Boyfriend When He Smashed Our Birthday Cake in My Face? Oh. My female 34, boyfriend, Charles, male 38, and I celebrate our birthdays together. This year, I contributed a small private room at a restaurant, and we invited 11 people. Four of them are my local friends.
The rest are his family members. I wanted to celebrate a new achievement in my career and thought it would be great to just splurge a little and get some delicious food. So we had access to the menu, drinks, and our cake. I'd agreed to pay for half of the food, aside from having rented the small space by myself. The space was paid for in advance, the food at the end, as in any restaurant.
We had issues last year because I felt he was doing low effort things while I always did my best to give him a nice birthday celebration. We have an income gap, but it wasn't even about money. I was making less money last year, and I still made things work for him. So this year, he took care of inviting people, paid for the cake, and got me a spice rack as a present, which I loved.
I made myself pretty, got my eyebrows and eyelashes done, and had my hair done too. We were told to pose and pretend to blow out the candles because I didn't want to blow germs all over our cake. Then we each had a picture alone with the cake. When it was my turn, I was holding the cake when he pushed my face towards the cake, so I tried to fight it.
His family started cheering, and he arched over my body and forced me to bend over until my face smashed the cake. Again? Again? His mother got up and she got into an argument with one of my guests. I had to cross the main floor with cake all over my face to use the restroom. When I looked in the mirror, I had cake on my neck and my blouse had red and blue coloring that didn't come off.
I had to wash my face and got my hair in a bun because it looked way less messy that way. When I came back, his family were all long faces. I told him what he did was unacceptable, and he said it was just a joke, that everyone has done that for ages, and that me slapping him just ruined my image in front of his family. I started crying and gathered all of my stuff to leave.
I notified him that he should pay for himself and his guests. My friends insisted on paying for their own food, but I refused and we ended the night right there. My friends wanted to treat me to having dinner elsewhere, but I wasn't comfortable with my appearance. They ended up sending me the money that I spent and that broke my heart.
Charles had to pay for half of the remaining bill and got charged a cleaning fee. I still love him, but I'm clear that I'll never be able to forgive him. We talked about it, and I ended things. He's convinced that I never loved him. He acknowledged what he did was wrong, but is adamant that his family hates me for slapping him and that it's my fault.

Chapter 3: Was slapping a boyfriend for smashing birthday cake in the face justified?
I'm really freaked out about the fact that they're saying there's a serial killer in North Hollywood. I know. I know.
And the news like really isn't talking about it.
Why do you think that is?
Just not to create panic? I don't know. Like, I really don't know. But it's literally like I saw one of the like TikToks on it and everyone was like, I've literally been calling the cops reporting someone running on my building for months. This is the building next door to me where this person got killed. Like apparently they've been like running on the roof.
So messed up. Yeah. Oh, God. And, you know, I have such like nighttime terror fears. And did you see the video of the guy who kept banging on the girl's door and looked in her mail slot? Yes. Did you order the massage? No, he didn't. He goes, it was so obviously sketchy. I wonder if she had one of those cameras that's on the inside, because I can't believe somebody would be so bold and.
to do this in front of a ring camera on the outside because he— We might have seen different videos.
I saw one where this guy went up to someone's house.
No, that's it. That was it.
And the big dog was barking?

Chapter 4: What are the consequences of reporting inappropriate behavior at work?
This comment, he was obviously trying to live out a porn fantasy scene. Mm-hmm. 100%. Hate him. Hate him. Why do so many people suck? I don't know if it's going to get any better. Moving on to this next one.
Do you ever just feel kind of like, not totally yourself like you don't really know how you're presenting yourself to the public yeah like you don't know what's happening yeah it's a scary time like you're speaking but you don't really know what's coming out or why it's coming out and your body language feels like off and you're like is it off or am I just thinking it's off
Yeah, I definitely have those days.
Okay, cool. Often.
Just curious. That's all. I feel like a lot of us do. Okay, this next one. Trigger warning on this next one, friends. It does contain mentions of a not-so-healthy toxic relationship, kind of abusive. So if you can't handle that today, please skip to the next one.
It is coming from AITAH, 23 hours old, titled, Am I the asshole for telling my best friend her marriage is doomed at her bachelorette party and accidentally getting her wedding canceled? This weekend was a disaster. I, 27 female, have been best friends with Amy, 28 female, for years. She has been with this guy, Jake, for about three years, and honestly, he is a walking red flag.
He is super controlling, jealous, and always checking her location. Once, he called her nine times while we were just shopping at Target.
Oh, okay. That's bad. Bad.
Amy keeps defending him, saying he is just protective because he cares so much, whatever. At her bachelorette party, it was supposed to be a fun girls' night, but Jake kept blowing up her phone, texts, FaceTimes, asking where she was, accusing her of acting single. Oh, God. She kept leaving to call him back, crying and apologizing, while the rest of us just sat there awkwardly.

Chapter 5: Why did the girlfriend break up after her boyfriend skinny dipped with her sister?
Ma'am, you didn't have money before this. I know.
It's so stupid. It's so dumb. Why are you being such a dumb clock? It's like, I'm pretty sure that he married you before this money, you freak. Like, I don't think that he... What? But, I mean, the whole, like, divorce thing, like, yeah, it sounds really extreme to, like, throw that out there. But, like... If he's seen a different side of her that he doesn't feel like is who he married, then...
it is what it is you know it's like if he's like I this isn't the person I signed up to do life with because that's that's the thing is that like our lives are ever-changing we're constantly growing and adapting and becoming different versions of ourself and so I think if you are in a marriage and you guys are not like communicating and growing together and understanding each other and still on the same page you
Then, yeah, people split.
It's just, yeah, that's the way cookie crumbles sometimes. There's a lot of comments from OP. If I tried to read them all, we would be here quite literally all day. A lot of people are asking, like, why don't you just let her stay home and, like, be a stay-at-home mom and take care of that kind of stuff? Like, whatever. How old are the kids again? I don't know if OP mentioned how old the kids are.
So stay-at-home wife? Yeah. I mean, they're in school. They're school-aged kids. Oh, okay, okay, okay. But OP says the biggest pain point in our marriage is her avoidance of doing housework. A lot of it falls to me and is partly the reason why I would never support her not working. Other than that, we've never had any issues. She's been a great mother. So I'm so shocked about all of this.
So someone goes and says, money changes people, and usually for the bad. It sucks that you are going through this. You are not the asshole. And OP goes, it doesn't feel like she's changed. So much has been replaced. Okay. It fucking sucks. Yeah. Someone goes, nah, dude, this was just below the surface, and it's her true self. There is no changing that sort of selfishness.
Here's something that's really interesting, though. And maybe we have a lawyer chime in because we did. I'm telling you right now, we had lawyers chime in about noodles, the ferret. I miss noodles. On Group T. And that was an interesting conversation. So maybe there is a comment here about the implications of what Opie says. Someone's asking, like, how the lottery ticket was purchased.
Was it her own money? Blah, blah, blah, blah. It was purchased off of our joint card. Our finances are completely intertwined. We didn't win enough to invest and live off of dividends, so we will both still need to work. We currently do 40 hours each. Cutting back to school hours would have been 30 each. And we need those 60 hours total to keep our standard of living.

Chapter 6: Can telling a friend her marriage is doomed save her from abuse?
yeah planning your whole life with a person everything and it's like i am totally blissfully unaware that there's any issues and it's just like so it you just wake up and you're like well what do i do now like every plan i had involved that other person in this life i thought i was gonna have like you grieve like yeah you actually kind of grieve it's yeah really weird for like a breakup
but when you go when you go from like boyfriend girlfriend to fiance marriage like kind of over you can go from that overnight it does feel like this just like hit a smart car into a concrete wall my actually no my even even when you do know it's coming like it's still such a grieving process so like to not know it's coming like i that's why i'm like i can't imagine how like how rock like how much that would rock a person yeah how
It's just it's crazy. And like even my mom had said one time where she was just like she's like when people pass away, like you grieve them, you grieve their memory. But when you when you go through a breakup, you grieve a person who's still here and you have to have the self-control to not.
try to talk to them and so she's like they're they're two very different interesting things that are similar but different and yeah it's so complicated so that's just sad like it is you used to go to them they were the first person you reached out to with good news bad news sad whatever it was and
It's just, it's hard. Like you just, you lose a lot.
Yeah. They're like no longer a part of your life, but they still are there. You just aren't allowed to talk to them anymore. It's just, it's definitely a grieving process.
Yeah, it is. So I totally get where she is wanting to be like, I kind of know... I want to know what he has to say because I do think there's something in that too where getting an apology can be a sense of closure. Yeah. And that does help a lot of people. Like, I sometimes think the best closure is like...
the revenge of living a good life and just like not responding to any outreach from them, especially if you were the one that was kind of wronged. But I am kind of curious. I'm like, I'm very curious. Me too. Top comment. The girl he was seeing or hoping to cheat with didn't work out and he can't be alone. So he's trying to get back together. You are worth more than this.
Don't fall for it and keep making plans for your life. Better things await.

Chapter 7: What happens when lottery winnings cause relationship conflict?
Somebody told me that they just refill them with, like, they get the A-soap bottles and refill them with, like... In the restaurants. I don't know if you've ever seen that. I could see it. Now that you say it, I could see it.
I could see it.
So it's kind of like placebo. Yeah. But it smells so good. Well, there's lots of really good smelling like good. Cheapos. Yeah. I mean, I love my Trader Joe's soap. Yeah. Love it.
I guess, yeah. I mean, there's also, like, Dossier. Like, that's where I get my perfume because it's so much cheaper than buying, like, the nice-ass, like, name brands. It's like a dupe perfume, essentially. I bet that's what they do. But I don't know. I feel like these two, they're honestly made for each other by the sounds of it. Or, like, made to be against each other. Ooh. Yeah.
lovers to enemies yeah not enemies to lovers yeah yeah something's going on here something's definitely going on here top comment it's always heartwarming to see two psychopaths find each other and fall in love godspeed to both of you next comment down two clean psychopaths Comments, they turn dark, you guys. They turn dark. This one, is this real? I need to look this up.
Comments are crashing out. The comments are crashing out. Someone goes, it's all fun and games until you murder a colleague over business card envy.
I feel like we missed a few. What?
Yeah. Woman poisons colleague over promotion envy. And they die? That's terrifying. Apparently, attempted murder from Abida de Gojas for allegedly poisoning her co-worker's water bottle after losing a promotion. Surveillance footage captured the act and the victim suffered immediate burns. Oh, my God. The incident highlights the rise in poisoning cases and the dangers of workplace jealousy.
Where was this? I don't know. Goias? The Goias Civil Police? It's a Brazilian state, so somewhere in Brazil. That's so scary. Dude, just take it. Just tell me you're going to poison me and I'll quit. Wow. Wow.
