I am a (16f) and I work part time at Walmart to save up money for college. My parents aren’t very well off and haven’t saved any money for my education. I don’t blame them for this but it’s also been stressing me out, which is why I wanted to get a job.
My grandma lives in England and came to my house to visit more t... | NTA. Make sure no one else has access to your accounts and keep saving. No one is ever entitled to something you earned. Don't feel bad or guilty, you're doing something that will help your future and you should be really proud of that. ###### |
A coworker committed insurance fraud and bragged through the office about it. We work for the insurance company. There is an investigation into her conduct. She is saying that we all knew about it and we are just as guilty so we should all be fired too. AITA for telling the investigators all the info they need like whe... | NTA. Lying to the investigators, now that would make you an asshole for sure. ###### |
I (21f) work at a store with a lot of vendors who bring in their own product. A lot of these vendors are white men in their 60s+, who borderline sexually harass me and the other female staff, are racist, homophobic, rude to service staff, pretty much every negative white conservative baby boomer thing you can think of.... | NTA. lol ###### |
It's not a big deal at all and it has been resolved since but it left me unsure if I'm in the wrong.
My girlfriend and I both had our own Spotify premium accounts to begin with, but at one point she decided she didn't want to pay for it anymore, even though she listens to music a lot.
I felt bad for her, as free ... | NTA. lol sometimes I’m amazed by some of the situations posted on here. Only way she can have that leverage is if you both split the monthly payment...but then by then why cant she just pay for a new account? Also, not to mention when she uses your account it kind of messes up the algorithm spotify uses to find music ... |
On Sunday my sister and I both FaceTimed our mom for Mother’s Day. We talked for about an hour, and in the middle of it I asked my fiancé to grab me a drink when he went into the kitchen. I said something like “peanut, can you get me a drink”. Now I realize that calling my fiancé peanut is a little silly and weird but ... | NTA. Lmao.
I'm allergic to seafood, but I don't get all crabby when it's mentioned. ###### |
I work in the food industry, and today at my job something interesting happened.
A lady walked in with a little girl, and asked my boss in Spanish, “does anyone here speak Spanish?”. To which i respond in Spanish “yes i do, how can i help you?”
We get her order, she pays then leaves.
After she leaves, my boss come... | NTA. Lmao “we could’ve figured something out.” Yeah, maybe speaking Spanish ###### |
My birthday was last week, and yesterday a package arrived at my door, and it was lingerie. It had a note in it that said happy birthday ~friend. I have never mentioned wanting lingerie to him. I haven’t talked about underwear or sex at all with him. I just play video games and D&D with him. I thought it was weird ... | NTA. Lingerie is sexual. It was SUPER inappropriate of him and you’re right for telling him off ###### |
I have two daughters 9F and 7F.
My youngest has always been my family’s favourite, especially her fathers favourite because she’s more outgoing and confident, she loves climbing and football.
My eldest is more cautious and anxious, she isn’t as confident as her sister but that’s okay and I’m always telling her people... | NTA. Like you said, kids all learn at their own pace. My 5 year old struggles with things my 4 year old does with ease, and vice versa.
Your ex's girlfriend shouldn't have belittled her like that, or taken to social media to voice her opinion *on a child*. Asshole. That's a no brainer.
Your ex shouldn't have let i... |
Throwaway for reasons.
My husband told me recently he wants to send money to his mother every month because she's not in good shape financially.
Thing is, this is entirely my MIL's fault, and entirely avoidable. She has unhealthy spending habits (she blew most of her savings on clothes and makeup because she didn't h... | Nta. Like you said she put herself in this position because she wanted to not because she’s disabled or sick. And I don’t blame you. I get he wants to be the “good son” but she’s not your financial responsibility. If he really wants to pay for all her things then let him. Just warn him that it better not affect what h... |
I had a heated argument with my mother about her lying.
She really likes to talk about me; especially if it's something that SHE thinks is correct, but is in fact a lie.
She thinks that she knows everything about me and that she can read my mind.
Especially in conversations with others where she would talk "for" me.... | NTA. Liars. I hate liars. The truth is the real source here. Liars will lead to be AH’s if they keep going. ###### |
For context: I am 16, mom is 49.
My mother’s grandfather passed away about a month ago. She was super close to him so it’s been really hard on her. She’s finding that she’s really sad (obviously) and having a hard time coping.
My mom usually doesn’t like materialistic gifts so I usually just write her a letter or a... | NTA. Let me tell you something, your friends don't know their assholes from their elbows. That is a very fantastic gift idea and very thoughtful. It shows you care, you listen and you understand. I would 100% give that gift to her and be proud doing it. Your friends need to find a new "cause" to jump on because this o... |
Like I said in the title she totaled my car during Christmas break she gave me some money for the car but I was able to buy a decent car with my insurance money, (5,000 for the new car). The new car that I bought, I drove that up until last week when the transmission failed and the cost to fix it would be more than the... | NTA. Let her be upset. Its a leased car. If she totals it again you are fucked badly. ###### |
To get right down to it, my family is descended from Robert E. Lee. We don’t have the last name anymore, but if you have kids, it’s just a given in my family that one of them has to have Lee incorporated in there somewhere. Every year in June we have the “Lee family reunion” that I personally haven’t attended for years... | NTA. Lee was an enemy general. The rebellion lasted less time than How I Met Your Mother was on the air. This is not heritage, any more than the third reich is German heritage.
Not all history is heritage, heritage is what we choose to continue. Looks pretty obvious what morals they want to continue. ###### |
Last night I (24) did chores for my boyfriend (30). He was cleaning out pens and told me to leave when I was done with chores;after I finished I helped him move a feeder and said goodbye. He told me that he was going to come back to the apartment once he was done.
I woke up at 5 am and he wasn’t back yet. I texted me... | NTA. Last year in the winter my father, mother and I were in a different state for vacation, and during that time my grandmother fell and cracked her head open twice (the first time she actually declined medical treatment so that's why twice).
She was going to my house to feed the cats, and had lost the key in the mi... |
I'm a 13M I have a twin sister 13F (comes into context later) our mom had us when she was 15 years old and our dad was 17. My mom is now 28 and my dad is 30. When we were born our dad signed over all the the custody to our mom. When my dad turned 19 and we were 2 he was basically non existent in our lives. 2 days after... | NTA. Kinda feels like your father is doing this as a form of penance for not being there, but if so, he really needs to be open to the fact that you might be uncomfortable with such a thing. Your relationship is still relatively new, and quite complicated; it's not a straight line to a normal parent-child situation an... |
Backstory: my older sister (40) is sick. Has been going blind. Not entirely sure what is wrong. This has been going on for about 6 months now. She has her good days and her bad days. However, her bad days are bad. Doesn’t want to get out of bed, headaches, worse vision, etc.
Now here is where my mom comes in. She is ... | NTA. Kind of in the same situation but with a dialed back frequency. Once you hear someone is sick, they haven’t gotten better and it’s over the course of years, of course it’s sad and tough to hear, but you start to not get phased by it, and you don’t react. Your mom is treating sympathy like it’s a form of currency.... |
I’m a 22 year old girl and a couple days ago my bfs cousin who’s 6 had a birthday party. It was hot so I came in a tank and short jean shorts. When I got there my bf told me he wanted to me to go home and change he thought my outfit was inappropriate for a children’s party. I didn’t believe it was at all. I got pretty ... | NTA. Kids don't give any kind of a shit how we dress, its us that tell them to care.
You didn't have an argument at the party and you didn't cause a scene there either, you just went home and stayed. ###### |
Yes, I am 35 and have a 10yo half-brother from my father's second marriage. I am sort of a quasi-father/brother to my younger brother, My father and his wife were not planning on having kids so they were not prepared. My brother is a really cool kid and he spends a lot of time with me and my wife. His school got shutdo... | NTA. Kid needs to learn hygiene or he’s gonna be the smelly kid at school. Why does his mom not want him to be clean? ###### |
My friend had these really, really dirty (and old ish?) Nikes that she told me she was gonna get rid of, because “cleaning them is impossible and too much work”.
They were not too bad off, just dirty and even in my size! So me being a broke university student asked if I could have them, and she said yes, do what you ... | NTA. Keep the shoes, ditch the friend. ###### |
My older sister (17f) goes out at around 9-11pm almost every night to go "get groceries" when, in reality, she just goes to buy herself multiple bags of clothes and snacks and brings back very limited groceries (like a gallon of milk or orange juice). She'll buy the clothes with her money about half the time and she us... | NTA. Keep ignoring her. Nobody needs help carrying in three bags, nor does someone need to go shopping every night. ###### |
My brother and sister-in-law are both in the medical field. The coronavirus has them thinking about the possibility they leave their two underaged boys orphaned if the unthinkable were to happen. My brother’s wife asked if I would take care and custody of the boys if they both were to pass away for whatever reason. I i... | NTA. Just tell her no, and if she pushes, explain why if you feel comfortable and haven't told her what a horrible person your brother has been to you your entire life. ###### |
I live with my parents and brother.
My dad has a habit of making jokes. He'll comment about my place being in the kitchen because I'm a girl, or joke about our animals (17 pigs (the livestock kind), 6 cats, 4 chickens, and a dog) not liking me versus another family member, just little mean jabs here and there.
This... | NTA. Just pretend you don't get it. Make him explain every single "joke." Deadpan face and sincerely ask him to explain it. It'll get old for him real quick (I hope!). ###### |
OK so I (26F) in a bit of a predicament. I love my dad very much, and we have a great relationship. We share a lot of interests and we have a special bond. I have no doubt that my dad has my best interests at heart, but he can be a little distracted at times.
My step-mom and I also have a good relationship, but she c... | NTA. Just make sure you bring it up the right way. I would tell him that the conversation from earlier has you wondering about his own will and you were curious about who he was leaving things to. I would express your interest in the library. Say that while what he does is entirely up to him that there are sentimental... |
Background: I was a late bloomer and had my first kiss and lost my virginity at 27. I was overweight and unconfident in myself, until I got therapy and started working out. About a year ago I reached my goals, and I am going to brag, I look fucking good.
I got way more attention from women after that, and since I was... | Nta. Just make sure you are getting std screenings to be safe and use protection. You don't want a one night hookup to be a 18 year to lifelong commitment. ###### |
So, I (17M) was just relaxing at home with my little brother (11) and my mother’s girlfriend’s son (7). My mom and her girlfriend left the house without any warning and didn’t tell me or the two little ones where they were going. This is pretty normal, they usually will come back with grocery’s or tell me they went to ... | NTA. Just like you said, if she expected you to be in charge of her kid she probably should have asked you to do so. ###### |
Some backstory:
So last November I (18F) moved in with my now ex-boyfriend (22M) to an apartment with 2 other people. These two people are married and we were friends with before moving in together. The husband (20M), we'll call him John, is in the military and his wife (20F), we'll call her Abby, worked part time... | NTA. Just imagine how it is going to be when they have a baby. ###### |
Okay so this is pretty funny I know
I got fired today from a studio I was working in as a tattoo artist. I did not get a proper reason to why and my boss fired me over text. I'm pretty upset over it and I lashed out on him because he sees me almost everyday yet did not have the guts to do it face to face. He also did ... | NTA. Just go back and say tell whoever is there you are getting your stuff since you’ve been terminated. Then just get your scissors and anything else that’s yours. ###### |
So for a while now I’ve owned two horses, mine and my daughters (13F) and they’re about 4 now.
2 years ago my sister got her daughter a horse, my niece is 12 now.
They usually only visit Fri,Sat & Sun for about 2hours so I usually let them into the field of a morning, groom them and put them away of a night which... | NTA. Just because they have personal stuff going on doesn't mean their pets are your responsibility. Horses are expensive to keep and maintain. If she's willing to sell you the horse then ok but if the family is so concerned about their struggle them why don't they pitch in and pray for the costs? ###### |
So first and foremost I must say my parents are amazing but their siblings and parents aren't as great as my parents are. When I was younger I had always wanted to be with my Aunt's and grandparents to spend time with them yet they would always ignore me in favor of my cousin who was a year older than me. At that point... | NTA. Just because they are technically family does not mean you have to be close or have a relationship with them. ###### |
Sorry for formatting, also English is not my first language.
Throwaway cause she knows my username. I know the title sounds bad.
I (f, 20) have had a boyfriend since 2018, pretty damn healthy relationship. I'm also bisexual with a preference for men.
Basically a few days ago a gay girl (f, 19) told me she liked... | NTA. Just because someone shares the same sexuality as you doesn't mean you have to feel a mutual attraction to them. ###### |
Even though I live in a wealthy neighbourhood, people seem to not want to bother putting up fences for their dogs or even if they do put their dogs in the front Yard without being leashed to anything.
Usually it’s not that big of a problem but, today it was.
As I was walking my dog, another dog ran out of it yard and... | NTA. Just because someone decides to be irresponsible with the animals that he keeps doesn't mean the rest of us need to pick up the slack. If he doesn't want his dog to run away, he needs to invest in a leash and/or a fence, and not to rely on the passersby to watch their animal for them. ###### |
These past few weeks, my mom has been trying to convince me to leave my son with her because she’s been lonely because my dad died recently but my wife and I refused because Of what she did that last time we left our son (8m)
My mom has become a very big conspiracy theorist and we left our son with her for a month bec... | NTA. Just because she's your mom doesn't mean she needs alone time with your son.
Not only should we still be distancing from those we dont live with....she is trying to indoctrinate him.
No 8yo needs hear 9/11 conspiracy theories. ###### |
I really like to draw and my mom supports me on that. Recently she got me a new sketch book when she went out, I've had the book for 1 month or so then a couple days ago she told me that she looked through the book, I was visibly upset ( I've told people before that i do not like it when they look through my sketch boo... | NTA. Just because she helps you financially doesn’t mean you don’t deserve privacy. Honestly parents that think just cause they pay they can snoop in your stuff are the worst. ###### |
I [20 M] live with my mum and brother [8]. I've wanted a switch since it came out but life and other hobbies have gotten in the way. Over the quarentine my expenses have gone down since I no longer have to buy food at uni, and I should have enough pocket money to pay off the rest of this year's fees and to get a Switch... | NTA. Just because it is in the house does not mean you or your mother have to let him play it, especially if he isn't fulfilling his responsibilities with school work.
She's asking you to sacrifice something you want to make it easier on herself to parent. It's nice that you're willing to do that, but letting an 8 y... |
I am a 28-year-old female, married (almost 4 years) and we have 2 1/2 year old at home. My husband and I have been kicking the idea of getting pregnant again so that our daughter has a sibling and friend to grow up with. My older sister (29) just got married last November and after their cruise in February wanted to “... | NTA. Joy for babies isn’t like pie, it doesn’t run out. Your sister is being silly.
Edited to add: the entire pie discussion that has unfurled totally made my day. What entertainment! OP should serve pie at her baby shower. ###### |
This is so stupid I can't even believe I am typing it out on my mobile but here it is folks cabin fever maybe getting to me so I need some nonbias perspective on this.
So my BF and I are gamers, currently, both of us are WFH. Now, normally gaming time is limited for both of us because of long hours at work and weeken... | NTA. Jesus. He's not even making his own save files!? Not cool. ###### |
I was with my former spouse for many many years. Turns out he was unfaithful to me for almost every one of those years. He ended up confessing he was in love with my sister and wanted to be with her as well. At first I was crushed and dumbfounded. I felt powerless to stop the situation. Eventually I left my spouse. I ... | NTA. Jesus, your family members are husband-stealing vultures. You are right to get as far away as possible. Enjoy your happy, healthy relationship without toxic people from your shitty past coming in and ruining it. ###### |
my partner when they were younger had issues with some older men saying they hoped they shaved their genitals. My partner mentioned something today about how bare female genitals make them uncomfy and said anyone who wants to be with someone who shaves is a creep. I asked what purpose pubic hair served, cause I honestl... | NTA. Jesus, you are allowed your own opinion!
Sure, pubic hair does serve a biological purpose and the pressure for women to be clean shaven is ridiculous and unrealistic but many women prefer to do it for their own reasons and you are only advocating for personal choice. ###### |
I've been diagnosed with S.I.H. my brain is nearly constantly inflamed and my veins are full up of blood or something else . either way , my brainstem is very inflamed and this causes me to hear things constantly, along with pain, feeling sick, hearing loss, fluid building up in my head , seizures, brain fog etc .
my... | NTA. Jesus Christ, this is a messed-up family situation. I'd say you wouldn't be going far enough by just being assertive, do you think it would be physically possible for you to find a place of your own? Otherwise, I know people like this and even if you do get them off your back by standing up for yourself it'll pro... |
Hi all! I'm pretty sure I'm the asshole here but I wanted to be certain and maybe get a bit of advice on how to move
Me [20F] and my bf [20M] were eating lunch in the kitchen today. We were reading funny Reddit comments to each other and I found an interesting fact on bees and decided to share it.
This for context: ... | NTA. Jesus Christ someone is insecure and projecting hard. Does he often blow up at you and treat you poorly over nothing just to make it feel like your fault?
Edit to add: someone who calls you a slut does not love you by the way ###### |
I was in a discussion with a few friends and peers, many of whom work in jobs adjacent to the comic book industry, and someone brought up how rare it was for comics, franchises and characters made by people of color to find any kind of financial success, and they then added the qualifier that even fewer of them are mad... | NTA. Japanese people still face discrimination outside of Japan. The other person has to define what they mean by people of color if Japan doesn't count and defend why.
Whiteness is a very specific construct that other groups can become, like what happened with the Irish. Jewish people can pass as white and still be ... |
Every single night, my neighbors would blast loud rap music at all hours of the night. I got tired of it and approached them on their porch. They mocked me and told me to get over it and that it was a free country. So, what I did, originally, was play my own rock music. They knocked on my door and told me the exact sam... | NTA. Ive called to cops on people playing music i actually liked, loud as fuck at 1230am while my newborn was trying to sleep.
I actually had to play my black hand and told them we can get into some gangsta shit if need be, but i decided to just get them jammed up for being hoes.
I totally understand. ###### |
When I was a kid I was an avid gamer. My favorite toy as a child was my NES.When I moved out of my parents house, I left many of my old systems with the instructions that I wanted to save them for the future when they built value. My mom never believed me and years ago gave my original NES to her grandson and my nephew... | NTA. Its unfortunate your mom did that, but I think a solution could be to offer to get a new console for your relatives with some of the money. Definitely talk to them about what they would want- Heck, you could even get them one of the new NES Classic Editions! ###### |
So, my family has traditions for certain significant birthdays (18,21,30, 50, 75, 90). My next birthday will be my 30th. I'm female. On the 30th my dad takes the kid who is 30, their spouse, and any children they have on a cruise. My sister and I have a somewhat volatile relationship and it gets bad at times, I recentl... | NTA. Its not like you've singled her out saying out of all your siblings you don't want her in particular to join in on the cruise. You've drawn a line in the sand saying its just going to be you, your hubby and your folks. Sounds perfectly reasonable to me. ###### |
So recently I (25M) made a post on my facebook about how my student loan debt was nearly whipped. Paid off my first one last year, and as of right now, it looks like I can get this last one paid off by the time I get out of the army at the end of this year.
So naturally I wanted to share the good news with everyone.
... | NTA. Its no different than posting that you graduated, or own a home, etc. They're just jealous and insecure of themselves and are taking it out on you. ###### |
My daughter was showering. She is 18. I was home (I'm the dad). I heard a scream so I knocked on the door. She let me come in. She was crying. She was in the shower facing away from me and explained what happened. She was shaving her pubic hair, slipped, and cut herself bad. She was worried that she needed stiches and ... | NTA. Its funny because no matter how injured I am I'm not showing my parents my dick. So this amount of comfort and trust is wild. Good parenting honestly. ###### |
I have a dog that has very high prey drive who chases rabbits and squirrels in my backyard. I have a privacy fence and always stand outside to supervise my dog when he goes out.
Neighbors recently moved into the house behind me and have been letting their cat roam the neighborhood. The cat has recently started coming ... | NTA. It’s your property! They should not allow their cat roam, much less if it’s illegal in your area like you mentioned. I would advise you to audio and video record your next interaction with the neighbors of you explaining that. It could help you in a civil suit. ###### |
So my mum started randomly coming into the bathroom to wash her hands, brush her teeth, go to the toilet etc while I was in the shower. I asked her to stop because it made me uncomfortable. she said she would stop but recently she’s been coming in more and more casually again and i got pretty annoyed at her.
Me: can y... | NTA. It’s your personal time and not to mention it’s just creepy and disrespectful to come in while someone is in the bathroom. However if you’re taking super long hour plus showers she might just be doing it because she’s tired of waiting for you to finish. Have a conversation with her though because even if she is d... |
Short and quick post.
I am 15M and have been saving my money (£500) for about a few months. This money is in cash in my secret safe in my room. My parents are key workers meaning they still have a steady income. Last week my mum offered to clean my room which was somewhat sketchy but I agreed. At the time I wasn't thi... | NTA. It’s your money. Out of curiosity though, how do you get this money? ###### |
Yea I get it “you’re lucky your parents still love each other” well they both abused me so it doesn’t really feel like one happy family here. I’m 23 and had to return home from college. I never heard my parents until I was maybe 17? Whatever, knocked on the door because I was trying to get ready for work and at 17 it s... | NTA. It’s your house too, and if you leave for work and have constantly told them you can hear they could choose to be quiet. I know a lot of parents who don’t want their kids hearing. Your mom sounds fucked up though, so bringing it up may have not be the best move because she probably isn’t receptive to criticism ##... |
for context: i 19M am a really big, overweight and somewhat hairy guy. when i am home, i love to be without a shirt because i get pretty hot (especially now with spring being here) and really sweaty, plus it's more comfortable.
i lived alone up until january this year. i pay all my bills and go to work everyday. in f... | NTA. It’s your house and you were kind enough to let him live there rent free. If you spend most of your time not around him anyways it shouldn’t matter to him at all. ###### |
I (23F) bought a house last year in a fairly well-off area (not a neighborhood though). My cousin (21F) has been living with me for the past 3 months because of financial issues: she pays a bit of rents and helps me do housework around the house. She's a really nice person in general.
On the Fourth of July, she brough... | NTA. It’s your home and he didn’t respect that.
I would be so annoyed if someone came to my home and did that....also who says it’s ok for the dogs to be scared because something is beautiful. Dogs don’t care if it’s beautiful they’re still scared ###### |
So before the quarantine my grandma had declared that my mom (her only child) would get all the money and property and later could decide to split between me and my sister however she wanted. I’m fine with this. I don’t really care considering I figured inheritance should always go to the next in line.
Due to this q... | NTA. it’s your grandmas decision and there’s nothing wrong with being happy your grandma thought of you and wants you in your will. ###### |
I have a gluten intolerance, which I was diagnosed with last year. I get quite sick if I eat a lot of gluten. As a result of this, I tend to buy gluten free snacks out of my own pocket, as I'm the only one in the house who has this. I tend to buy gluten free bread/pittas, crackers, cakes and pasta, enough to last me a ... | NTA. It’s your food, they shouldn’t have been eating it to begin with. If you do have a rat problem, that only happens if you leave open food around (and it seems like shes just threatening it and it didn’t actually happen) ###### |
I met my biological father 3 years ago (I’m 27 now) and we’ve been mending the relationship. We’ve become close friends and I’ve forgiven him for the mistakes he made leaving in the past. I was formally adopted by my step dad at age 3 and he and my mother have been raising me with my two sisters my entire life.
All t... | NTA. It’s your day. Invite who you want. It’s also not a conversation your sister’s should be having with you. Talk to your mom and step-dad instead. ###### |
alright I've been working on a comic book for a bit, and I had used another Reddit page to look for an artist, I found a lot of good ones and I was about to choose them, but then I realized with the number of issues I would need and their prices, there would be no way for me to afford them.
In walks my buddy, who has ... | NTA. It’s your comic and if your buddy can deliver the result you want then that’s great. ###### |
Like I said in the title she totaled my car during Christmas break she gave me some money for the car but I was able to buy a decent car with my insurance money, (5,000 for the new car). The new car that I bought, I drove that up until last week when the transmission failed and the cost to fix it would be more than the... | NTA. It’s your car and you’ve offered other solutions to try and help. Ultimately it’s her responsibility to get herself to and from work.
It would be kind of you to let her but I can see why you’d be hesitant, I don’t think it makes you an asshole you’ve said no. ###### |
Okay I know this is weird. Me and my SO just moved into a new 2 bedroom apartment. We planned to make the second smaller room an office. One of our neighbors from the apartment next door introduced herself as we were moving our stuff in. She’s very chatty and outgoing and we hit it off right away.
She says we seem co... | NTA. It’s your apartment. You’re an adult with a lease. You can do whatever you want in the apartment wherever you want to.
Put your bed in the dining room. Put your living room in the master. Decorate the whole apartment in bells.
It doesn’t matter. Because it’s YOUR apartment and it’s none of THEIR beeswax. ####... |
My older sister has autism and my parents have made me her caretaker since I was around 7th grade. We were made to go to the same classes in school except language class where I chose Chinese and she chose Japanese. When younger my sister did not have any friends outside our friend circle but me so she’s very close and... | NTA. It’s unfair for your parents to place that kind of burden on you. Do you have any other family or close adult you could talk to about the situation? ###### |
I’ve been applying to jobs for a bit now. Recently, I had a Zoom interview for a position in my town. The listing said nothing about commuting or going to another office.
During the interview, the interviewer said “So I know the ad said the job was in x town, but it’s really in y town. Would that be a problem?” That t... | NTA. it’s shady to do that and waste people’s time ###### |
I have gestational diabetes so I’ve had to learn to use the lancet device and glucometer. Every chance he gets, my husband tries to grab the lancet device before me when he knows it’s time for me to do it. Today, I refused and he is furious and hurt. He says it’s a way for him to be involved in my prenatal care but the... | NTA. It’s ridiculous he wants to be the one to stab you with the needle just so he can feel like he’s involved. Tell him to rub your feet instead. ###### |
Hello Reddit. I figured this would be the perfect place to ask because abandoned and mysterious are some of this site’s favorite popcorn.
I have recently bought a property in rural Pennsylvania. It is hundreds of acres way outside of a town with under 1000 people. There’s a huge forest and as I was exploring for the ... | NTA. It’s on your property and you have a use for it elsewhere. You’re entitled to move objects on your property from one place to another. ###### |
My sister and I are both staying with our mother, because she’s very sick and needs help, and we both want to be there with her before she passes. We’ve both been here about a month now. My husband and I are here with our daughter and she is here alone.
We’ve been watching a movie every night for the past week or so. ... | NTA. It’s ok to cry at movies. A lot of them are meant to invoke emotions. Would she be saying that if it was you or is she poking fun at toxic masculinity? ###### |
So I’m from another country and lived and worked in to US for a few years. My mom sends me food packages every month with food, snacks, candy etc from home. This is for fun and she always sends way to much, but that’s just my mom 😁.
So I usually share with either friends, colleagues, neighbors or other people that c... | NTA. It’s not your job to conform to every ones diet. I have type 2 diabetes and I work also. I don’t go around on the days people buy food for everyone or whatever bitching about the fact they got sugar and bread and all that. Yeah it sucks. It oh well. That’s my business. Your co worker has a complex and should get ... |
A few years ago a friend of mine was given the whole set of a manga collection (around 20 books or so) from a family friend. She wasn't overly interested in manga so decided to gift them to me for my birthday.
I LOVE this series; it's one of my favourites and I was planning on taking this set to university with me in ... | NTA. It’s not your fault the original owner wants them back. They were given to you and now they belong to you. You can do as you please with them. ###### |
Alright, here's the situation:
I am doing shit on my laptop, it needs updates and all that, since I just recently bought it and freshly installed Windows. I set the language on English despite German being my mother tongue.
So my sister comes by and she sees my new laptop. She wanted to see it so I gave it to her. Th... | NTA. It’s not even hers, how controlling can she be? ###### |
My mother brought in a pet and over next 5 months we had it it was going good and I started to develop a small bond ( yeah it sounds cheesy) with the pet. All of a sudden he’s gone and she got rid of him and didn’t tell anyone. I just live in the house but I do everything for the cat, and she was mad at him I guess bec... | NTA. It’s not at all cheesy to form a bond with your pet, even after a short time. Your mom sucks for getting rid of the cat without telling you and not letting you have any say when you were the one taking care of it. ###### |
So
About a month ago my girlfriend broke up with me. All that was explained to me was that she found someone else and wanted to end things amicably.
As far as I'm concerned, things ended amicably and there are no hard feelings regarding it to my knowledge.
A couple weeks later she texted me and was asking how things w... | NTA. It’s in the title “ex-girlfriend”. Tell your mutual friends you don’t want to know anything about her ###### |
When I was 13 I got into baking. I was an amateur for sure, but I liked finding new recipes and trying them out. My dad had this *extremely* annoying habit of eating stuff while I baked. Basically, here’s how it went: I’d do my chores and get permission from my mom to bake. I’d start baking, and sometimes my dad would ... | NTA. It’s his money, but it’s your work. As a fellow baking enthusiast, I can understand how your father’s actions can make you feel. Also, Isn’t he worried about salmonella poisoning?
Maybe you should start making pastries like croissants or Chouquettes or even eclairs. The raw dough tastes really bland and kinda gr... |
I'm 16 and my mom and I don't have the greatest relationship, but it's not exactly bad. We are just very on and off. However, recently we've been trying to work more as a team and be more open with each other. Well, it's currently Thursday and I had an online therapy session on Tuesday. My therapist and I were having a... | NTA. It’s her fault for walking in on a therapy session she knew was private. If she stayed long enough to hear everything, the intent to disturb your privacy was there. She doesn’t have the right to judge anything she heard when she was the one in the wrong. ###### |
So for context I had to wake up at damn 8 for online school which sucked ass but had to wake up. I struggled to wake up but finally got up at 7.52.
I got out of my room and went to the kitchen and got a banana quickly before the lesson. I noticed that my (37/39) parents’ door was open on the way to the kitchen but I ... | NTA. It’s gross and uncomfortable and your parents should’ve understood that instead of saying to mind your business. As someone whose mom did this a lot, sorry you had to hear that. ###### |
So my GF and have been discussing getting married and having kids.
However last night we got into an argument over raising our kids.
She doesn't want them wasting away in front of a TV or being unhealthy... Ok that's fine with me.
However then she says that she doesn't really want our kids to do Easter, Halloween... | NTA. It’s good that you had this conversation now and can break up and move on, rather than later when it’s too late. ###### |
A girl at my school has some political opinions which are questionable at best. She posts said opinions on her blog. One opinion was particularly egregious, and I took screenshots of her blog in case she would delete it, as she is prone to do. I reposted the screenshots to Facebook after she deleted it. She then caught... | NTA. It’s funny that people post their horrible opinions on the internet and expect to not receive any blowback for the things they say. She decided to post it, so she can reap what she sows. Also, nothing that is even deleted is truly gone from the internet so her bad opinions will forever be available to whoever has... |
I live in an apartment. Second floor, covered but outdoor walkway, medium walk from the street. I pay $8-12 from my limited means (I don't have a car, also due to limited means) to have groceries brought to me from walmart.
So here's the issue. Someone always seems to say "Oh could ya come down to the car and get your... | NTA. It’s called delivery. ###### |
My BF (30) and I (26) work in the IT industry. I work overseas (Germany) so we were in a long distance relationship for a while. We were living together so when I left the country, our place was left under his name. I send him money to pay half of the bills and everything was fine.
First quarter of 2019, his mom died ... | NTA. It’s been months. It’s unreasonable for him to assume that you’ll just pay for everything indefinitely. ###### |
A little backstory:
I (15) was very close with my great grandmother, Gram Joe. We were both avid gardeners and artists, and she taught me everything I know about painting. Gram Joe had blood cancer, and was running a bit slow in her last few months. My brother (11), on the other hand, never went to visit her. He would... | NTA. It’s awesome your brother gave it back though.
This is the definition of fair doesn’t always have to be equal. You brother had no use for the stuff so it’s dumb to give it to him. ###### |
I was walking into this grocery store and there was an ~18 year old guy and his girlfriend walking in in front of me. I'm 10 paces behind them when he starts scratching at his b-hole. He looks over his shoulder and makes eye contact with me, but I'm so embarrassed for him that I pretend to be looking just past him and ... | NTA. It’s astounding that an adult thought that was acceptable. ###### |
I’m currently 8 weeks pregnant, which was unexpected. One symptom that I have is EXTREME gas. I belch like a frat boy 24/7, and I can’t help it. They just slip out. I’ve tried bicarbonate with water, EVERYTHING.
fast forward to yesterday, my fiance and I were laying down on the couch, and as I was getting up, i let o... | NTA. It’s an involuntary reflex brought on by your body reacting to the human being growing inside you. You know, the one he helped conceive. Your BF needs to grow up now because Daddy duty is not pretty. ###### |
So, I own 3 houses that I had bought with an inheritance that my grandad left me and I rent these houses out. This enables me to have a steady income even without having a job so I have quite a bit of money to save and put away.
I rented one of the 3 properties out to my sister and her boyfriend for not a large sum a... | NTA. it’s always tricky going into something money involved with family. But that being said, that’s what it comes down to. They didn’t pay you. And this is your income that you live off of so you have to do what’s beat for you. ###### |
Have 2 kids, 12 and 15. It was 12 year old’s best friend’s birthday today, so I drove him over to the friend’s house. They’d be ordering pizza, playing Xbox, generic kid birthday stuff.
I dropped him off around lunchtime, and on the way back I noticed that the McDonald’s had reopened after the lockdown (and I’d been ... | NTA. It’s also a timing thing, when you were at McDonald’s you had only one mouth to feed! How were you supposed to know he’d wait for later to eat it. Tell your family to chill lol you’re doing fine ###### |
Recently, my little sister(10F) has been getting into Minecraft, she has played it at her school as well as on my computer a couple of times which she seems to enjoy, which is fine. However I(18M) am also into the game as I have played it ever since I was 11 and just earlier today she has been begging my parents to get... | NTA. It's yours, she needs her own.
You might want to also explain to your parents that "playing on your account" is essentially playing AS YOU. Any people who know you, would assume it's you. *edit: Assuming play on multiplayer servers, etc.*
Also:
>“Well, you’re an adult, you shouldn’t be playing it anyway”

AITA: Backstory, I come from a big Mormon family. My mom has 5 siblings, and 5 step siblings. My dad has 8 siblings. I left the Mormon church a five years ago. I have a bad relationship with my dad, two of my siblings and my dad's whole family. Most of them haven't talked to me in years, and when my little brother die... | NTA. it's your wedding. you should only invite people that you want to be there and are comfortable around. ###### |
Me - (29M) my wife - Laura (26F) old friend - Shawn (31M)
So my wife and I actually got married in December 2016 so this situation is really fucking bizarre.
An old friend of mine recently got in touch with me after we lost contact many years ago and he saw that I’m married. I didn’t tell him this because we weren’t ... | NTA. It's your wedding not theirs. why they gotta have it their way. Your long lost friend is also a drama queen. Guy should just be happy that you are happilly married.
Your wife is cool for calling them idiots. ###### |
My brother split with his gf about 2 months ago and he has been living with me. Before my brother moved in, it was just me and my dog. Anyway, he has three small children who I love to spend time with but he has them on his days off. They usually sleep Friday and go home Sunday. He also has them before or after work de... | NTA. It's YOUR place that your brother is staying in and should respect your house rules and personal space. You're not kicking him out, you just want to work things out. He should show some gratitude by taking you into consideration. ###### |
Just under a week ago my mum's credit card got cloned, meaning she had to cancel it and get a new one. She asked if she could use mine for the time being and I (18f) said sure she can use contactless, there isn't much in it my account and I trust her.
For context, my brother (13m) without going into too much detail ha... | NTA. It's your PERSONAL IDENTIFICATION NUMBER.
Personal. It's not SWNFIN, or Shared With Nosy Family Identification Number.
Identity theft is no joke. Please make sure your important documents are in a safe place. ###### |
I've recently turned 18 a few days ago btw.
​
(I was \~13-16 at the time) I really love riding my bicycle, but i live in California where drivers are shit and I have been hit by a car twice while on my bike (Both of them drivers fault) The first time wasn't too bad but it hurt like a bitch, the second one ... | NTA. It's your money. Unless your mother had to pay out for medical expenses, and it doesn't sound like she did - you deserve the money. Sue her, too. ###### |
I don’t drink, I haven’t for nearly two years.
My dad likes to drink a lot, my brother is a straight up alcoholic in denial our family/his wife have tried to help. But he claims he’s fine.
When both of them drink they became even bigger sexist, racist assholes. They make sexist comments about women, gross homophobic ... | NTA. It's your house and you have ample reason.
Also, if this severely damages your relationship with your brother, that is entirely his issue. "My sister won't let me leave empty bottles all over her house and insult minorities anymore? Forget her!" He doesn't sound like the best of siblings. ###### |
This is pretty self-explanatory. I was working out in my living room when I heard something on my back porch knock over. Thinking an animal was getting to some of the vegetables I had in pots out there, I quickly ran outside without thinking to put a shirt on (since I've been working out at home, I don't feel the need ... | NTA. It's your home and you can do what you want. People exercise outside of their home - like walking on sidewalk/on trails, or even at the gym - in that same kind of outfit. ###### |
Recently, my little sister(10F) has been getting into Minecraft, she has played it at her school as well as on my computer a couple of times which she seems to enjoy, which is fine. However I(18M) am also into the game as I have played it ever since I was 11 and just earlier today she has been begging my parents to get... | NTA. It's your game. Sharing your account risks her making changes to settings and existing worlds and using your servers. There's nothing wrong with not wanting other people touching your stuff and your parents shouldn't expect it from you (and clearly the issue isn't whether they can afford it). They're just going t... |
My friend gave me his old Nintendo switch. I know my daughter, Jessie, has been wanting a regular switch for awhile. She just has a switch lite.
Right away her eyes lit up and said she would give her old switch to her cousin, Kelsie. Kelsie had to share one with her brother so the girls weren’t able to play online to... | NTA. it's your daughters switch, she can decide who gets it and who doesn't. besides that, the two girls probably wouldn't include her anyways, even if she got the switch.
they're both not TA as well, they're just kids and want to play. they (and you) can decide who to spend time with. absolutely nothing wrong with t... |
My dad had an affair and has been with his girlfriend for about 6 months now (for context my parents are still married and my mum knows about the affair). I was talking to him on the phone today and he mentioned that he wanted me to meet his girlfriend. I told him that I didn't want to and perhaps with a little bit mor... | NTA. It's your choice and he should respect that. Especially in a situation like that he should be thankful for the possibility of you two meeting. ###### |
AITA?
TLDR; husband can't stand tattoos and won’t let me get one- I’m about to just do it- but he might just break over it.
Hi, I’m F25 and my husband M25 have a good marriage, we’ve had normal marriage problems but I’d like to think we did a good job resolving them through good communication and positive change. (Fo... | NTA. It's your body he doesn't get to "let" you decorate it however you see fit.
Also, coming from someone who is tattooed from neck to feet your husband can jog on. Tattoos don't make people criminals. Only committing crimes does that. ###### |
So I’ve been dating my girlfriend for about 6 months now and we’ve been having sex for a few months. Most subjects we agree on pretty much completely and if not it’s not a big deal, everyone’s different. One of the topics that have come up is abortion and she says she is pro choice which I am too. My lizard brain didn’... | NTA. It's your body and it sounds like you have some stuff to think about before you're ready to have sex with her again. ###### |
First of all I'm a 19 year old male and my mother is in her late 50's. When I became a teenager the relationship with my mother and I began to weaken but for the most part we still remained civil to each other. There's never been any physical abuse or anything like that but there's definitely been times we've both said... | NTA. It's your apartment. You can set any boundaries you want about guests and your mom doesn't have the right to ignore them just because she's your parent. Establishing and enforcing strict boundaries is the only way to deal with parents who think that they can still do whatever they want with their adult childrens'... |
So I sometimes make desserts, majority cakes, but I haven’t really been able to do so in the past few months because of school and work. However, because of the things currently going on in the world, I’m not working at the moment so I’ve had a lot of free time recently. Just two weeks ago, I was finishing decorating a... | NTA. It's very sad that the little boy didn't get a cake, but it's your cousin's fault, not yours. ###### |
My mom sent me a video on Facebook known as the "plandemic" video. Basically this video has unproven claims about Dr. Anthony Fauci and the handling of the Covid-19 pandemic. I went to the YouTube channel and saw many other "conspiracy" videos such as how 5G can cause cancer. I decided to report the YouTube channel fo... | NTA. It's up to YouTube whether they take down something for false information. To be a censor, you'd have to actually be censoring. In this case, that's YouTube, not you. Reporting misinformation wherever you find it is a public service. ###### |
Here's a little backstory. My boyfriend dated his now best friend 3 or 4 years ago. They shared some traumatic experiences together and he says he feels like they recovered together. He also says that they're happy as just friends and haven't fooled around since they were together.
So the best friend's brother was ... | NTA. It's totally reasonable to feel jealousy or uncertainty in this situation, if your boyfriend doesn't feel the same way, I'd have a talk with him. ###### |
This happened a few months ago and my brain keeps sending it back to me. I was traveling and I stopped at a rest stop that’s well known for having lots of bathroom stalls and they’re always very clean. There’s probably about 30 stalls in the women’s restroom, and usually not even a line because there’s so many stalls. ... | NTA. It's the same as when you're at the grocery store and they open a new register and no one moves. First come first serve.
Also, if a random person pinched me because I didn't "wait my turn" I would have freaked out. ###### |
I am very interested to learn how everyone sees this.
My father is dead now for about 10 years. He had been a banker and had offered an (ill advised) investment opportunity - back in the 2000s - to a sort of friend, I'd say more of a buddy, if that makes sense.
The friend made an investment of 500 €, which seemingly w... | NTA. It's the nature of investments that sometimes they just don't work out. It's a gamble, and he chose to take it.
Think of it this way. If the investment had paid off really well, would he be offering you money in gratitude for your father helping him gain some wealth? Most likely no. ###### |
Okay, so, it's background info o'clock.
I'm 19, M, disabled. I'm autistic, have ADD, and a massive sensory processing disorder (SPD).
Basically, SPD means i'm very sensitive to sensory stimulations and can overload very quickly. I also have prothesis to protect my ears from sound (it's basic but sufficient when I'm not... | NTA. It's so insensitive to ask someone if they're "deaf, or what?!", regardless of whether they are wearing prosthesis. You taught her a lesson and hopefully she won't be so offensive in the future. I think that's a small win for the deaf community, and I'm sure they'll give you a pass for this one. Anyone feel free ... |
