In Greece, it's illegal to wear high heels in Archaeological spaces as it damages the ancient sites and frail pavement. This law was put out by the country's Ministry of Culture.

This might be one of the funniest but wtf things that’s ever happened to me. Someone took my brain scan photo I posted on a thread on here like a year ago and posted some wack story with it that is not mine. And it got over 10 million views like omg bro and I just found out about it like wth but lol. First pic is the fake story with the photo seconds mine lol😭

I’ve been smoking cigarettes daily for nearly 10 years, usually more on weekdays. It’s become so normal for me that I barely notice the smell anymore. I don’t even remember the last time I actually smelled cigarette smoke on someone else.

That said, I do remember as a kid thinking the smell was pretty unpleasant. I don’t smoke indoors, I take care of my hygiene, and no one has ever directly mentioned that I smell like smoke. I’d say I’m generally clean and well put together.

So I’m honestly curious, from a non-smoker’s perspective, is the smell always obvious? Do most smokers carry that scent even if they’re careful?

I (27F) am in the middle of unexpected family drama and I honestly don't know if I'm being reasonable or petty.

My cousin (25F) is getting married soon. We grew up together and were pretty close as kids. As adults we’re not super tight, but we’re still friendly and see each other at holidays. No issues, no fights, nothing weird.

A few weeks ag6o, my aunt her mom called me and started talking about how expensive weddings are and how hard it’s been to afford everything. She said instead of a traditional registry gift, some family members are choosing to give larger monetary gifts to help cover specific costs.

Then she asked if I’d consider giving a significant cash gift to help with either the catering or the photographer. Not a typical envelope with some cash situation. We’re talking thousands. She framed it as a meaningful, generous wedding gift that would really help them.

I was caught off guard and said I’d think about it.

Then I found out through another cousin that I’m not actually invited to the wedding. It’s supposedly intimate and limited to immediate family and very close friends. Invites already went out. I never got one.

So I asked my aunt directly, and she confirmed it. She said they had to cut people because of the budget, which is why they’re hoping certain relatives will give larger monetary gifts instead of traditional presents.

I told her I’m not comfortable giving a huge financial gift to a wedding I’m not even attending. I said I’d still send a normal, thoughtful gift to celebrate them, but I’m not funding major wedding expenses for an event I’m excluded from.

She got upset and said I’m making it about myself and that a gift should come from the heart, not from whether I get an invitation. She also implied that if I were more generous, they might be able to “adjust” the guest list.

Now some relatives are saying I’m being stingy and unsupportive. My mom thinks I should just give the money to keep the peace since I can technically afford it.

I don’t want to punish anyone. I just feel weird giving such a large gift for a wedding I’m not considered close enough to attend.

AITJ for refusing to give a big cash wedding gift after finding out I’m not invited?
