Removing doubt will defuse so many future arguments. I definitely see how being asked for a paternity test could hurt but it’s a temporary hurt. Uncertainty could cause long-term hurt and damage any chance of relationships developing in a positive way.

While pettiness sounds awesome here, I’d argue against it. She may need to deal with these people for 18 years or more, depending on how the situation proceeds. Being petty now could lead to long-term animosity that is unneeded.
I say give them the paternity test, see how they react, then get petty if they continue being shitty.

 Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What's the best habit that improved your life?
1·11 months agoIt was interesting to read that. Of course you can’t start doing that kind of workout right off the bat. You need to work up to it! Also, of course the workout regimine from “One Punch Man” isn’t well balanced, he is training to be able to punch well, not focused on general health.
Are people seriously just jumping into this routine as a means of getting fit?

414·1 year agoYeah, I’ve worked retail too and I don’t think I would have done this, even if I did have another task to complete.
This cashier’s lane light was on. They smiled at me, came to help, scanned my items, and let me pay. Then, rather than scanning the man’s six items, they put up their closed sign and walked away without saying a word while leaving their lane light on. It felt hostile and rude.

132·1 year agoThank you, I appreciate it. It’s honestly weighing on me that I didn’t say something. I guess the best that I can do is to do better next time something similar happens.

82·1 year agoThank you. You don’t think that speaking up would be more embarrassing for the man that what already happened? I feel terrible that I didn’t act more appropriately in the moment, but I was too shocked to think of a good response to the situation.
