Grandpa's Cheese Barn, Ashland, Ohio

Each time I travel to see my brother’s family in Butler, I pass the large white barn of Grandpa’s Cheese Barn in Ashland, Ohio.  Just off of the interstate, I think about stopping, but I always seem to be in a hurry arriving to either one place or the next.  This time I decided to stop for lunch and to pick up a couple of items for gift baskets. “Grandpa” Yarman began the business with cheese,…

[am-i-the-asshole-official]

too many teens whining for validation, this blog needs more weird and stupid so...

AITA for kidnapping my friend and trapping her in the cheesebarn?

Hear me out:

The story starts about a week before my (20 at the time ftm) 21st birthday. If you live in the US you know this isnt just some lame 7th birthday or 36th birthday, this is one of the big boy birthdays, the special ones. Its when you can legal buy alcohol and are therefore truly an adult in the eyes of the law.

Naturally my friends (20s) wanted to do something Big for our 21sts. So they asked me what i wanted to do and i said i didnt really care as long as I got a road trip somewhere with friends.

Everyone thought it was a fun idea but it was a little short notice for everyone to get time off from work, but my other friend we will call C also had her 21st exactly a month after mine to the day, and the two of us agreed to share our 21sts and not do much of anything on my actual birthday. This is important, bc it was a SHARED birthday road trip.

I agree to let C pick the destination and I provide the car. We didnt have much of a plan as we were going to meet up with C's old roommate who lives in the city we picked to show us a good time.

It was 5 of us total and about a 7 hour drive altogether there with not a whole lot on the way there. We get to the city she picked and meet the roommate and honestly the rest of this part is just standard 21st birthday shenanigans. Its when we start the drive home things really start.

Remember its a long drive with not much to see? Well that was a lie. On our way back we see it, the Real "Happiest Place on Earth" as far as places with a mouse for a mascot go:

Grandpa's.

Fuckin'.

Cheesebarn.

Obviously me and the other people on the trip want to stop and see the magic, but unfucking fortunately C happens to be the only Basic White Girl ™️ in the entire world who hates cheese and isnt even lactose intolerant. This girl is notorious for making "petty" and "I hate Cheese" her entire personality. She would constantly make faces and gagging noises and talk about how gross and nasty cheese is if you so much as eat a grilt cheese near her.

Clearly she made it known that she wasnt on board with it. "NO! FUCK YOU ALL IM NOT GOING TO A PLACE CALLED A CHEESEBARN ON MY BIRTHDAY!!" were her exact words.

But i remembered i was driving, it was my car, and it was supposed to be my birthday too. So I put it to a vote. "Raise your hand if you wanna go to Grandpa's Cheesebarn!"

All hands raise but one. With C out voted we head to the cheesebarn.

Guys. This place is amazing. Its obviously making cheese its main draw, but yhere's so much more, its every shitty midwest tourist trap rolled into one glorious place. There's even a chocolate shop. We even got C's roommate to ditch work and come meet us bc shr heard "Grandpa's Cheesebarn" and knew she had to drop everything.

All in all a good visit, C even seemed like she had fun once we got there (she sure spent $300 on candies and dip mixes anyway). We go home. Things seem fine.

Then C drops off the face of the earth.

She wont respond to our calls or texts and at first we thought maybe she was giing through a rough patch or something and try to just keep reaching out but give her space. But then we find out that not only is she still hanging our with our other friends who couldnt make the trip with us. So clearly she's just pissed at us about something.

Finally one day a few months later i catch her at her job and just tell her "I dont care if you hate us, we'll never speak to you again if you dont want us to, but what the hell did we do to you??"

And she just looked me over and says "Well. You kidnapped me."

lolwut

And she yells (bc this girl loves yelling at people) "YOU KIDNAPPED ME AND TRAPPED ME AT A CHEESEBARN ON. MY. BIRTHDAY!!!!!"

And i just said "Well it was my birthday too," and havent spoken to her since. Its been over a decade and "No ragrets" as we said back in the day, but uts baffled me for years that that was her reaction. "Im just over you guys" i can understand, and its not like she was shy about telling people she hates them and their out of her life ever before. And from what i ended up hearing from our other friends she kept talking with it really was about the cheesebarn and how we "ruined her birthday".

No but srsly AITA??? For making her go to a cheesebarn???

What are these acronyms?

I know they'd realistically just fly, but sometimes I like to think about Curt and Owen doing a US road trip, and Curt's just sooo excited to show off his country, stops at every World's Biggest Ball of Yarn-style attraction and pesters Owen into taking those perspective trick pictures every time. Meanwhile Owen is slumped over in the passenger seat begging for death like "we drove for six hours how the fuck are we still in Texas???" And "No, Curt, I will not be eating anything purchased at 'Grandpa's Cheesebarn'" but he also tries to hide that he's slowly becoming obsessed with bacon cheeseburgers or something- especially if it's before 1954, because the UK was still rationing from WWII

I've been to Grandpa's Cheesebarn, I would marry it.

I am once again driving to Cleveland because I’ve made it my life’s mission to see how many times a person can be tempted by the lustful gaze of Grandpa’s Cheesebarn before breaking.

[windtraces]

it was funny too, we were talking about what to do tomorrow and were like "omg let's go to grandpa's cheesebarn" but earlier she'd mentioned she can't buy things on shabbat so i was like "oh wait but you can't buy things" and she was like "yeah but i can give you guys money and you can buy things and give them to me." AWESOME CHEESE TIME

Oh you like weird road side stuff? Gird yourself, I work with the Ohio State Tourism Office:

We got this field of giant concrete corn statues.

I cannot stress this enough - we are not near an ocean. Why do we have it? Who cares - Bella's mom gave her a tshirt quilt with it on it in one of the twilight movies.

We got this deer contemplating suicide off a bridge statue (he's one of 3 throughout the city and one is weirdly suggestively sexual).

Grandpa's Cheesebarn.....it's a barn full of cheese.

this is a grocery store - I highly suggest googling what the inside looks like.

thank you so much for this i absolutely love all of these. i would unironically do anything to get to visit the worlds largest horseshoe crab….im also a huge fan of the cornfield and grandpas cheesebarn <3 and jungle jims….i dont know what i expected but it wasnt that. i also googled what the other deer look like and well. yeah. i dont know what the sculptor was thinking with that one. its unnerving and yet….endeering (get it)
