There’s a ton of stuff that goes into planning a wedding. Where will it be, who do we invite, what will we eat, what will it cost, etc etc etc. But one stress that probably few people are expecting is “Will my mother in law dress like the bride in some kind of crazy attention stunt?” That was the situation one Reddit user found herself in recently. The user goes by the name AITAthedress, so she must have created this account specifically to pose this question. It was posted to r/AITA, or “Am I the as$hole?,” a forum where people describe their situations and users weigh in on who’s in the wrong. Here’s the original post, in which she uses “MIL” for “Mother in Law” throughout:
AITA for making my MIL buy a different dress for my wedding? from AmItheAsshole
The comment section, which at the time of writing is approaching 500 contributions, revealed two things very clearly:
1) This is a surprisingly common problem that happens to more brides than you’d expect
2) Literally nobody thinks OP is the as$hole in this situation

So there you have it. Don’t dress like a bride unless you are a bride. Even the most unsophisticated among us can probably hold that particular piece of etiquette in our heads. Don’t spoil someone else’s special day, they paid a lot of money for it.

The post Mom Buys a Dress for Her Son’s Wedding, Bride Loses It appeared first on UberFacts.
I have friends who’ve given people spare keys before to let out their dog and they later found out that the person they trusted had been digging around their house while they were gone.
That’s just a huge NO-NO in my book, so I wasn’t surprised when they took the keys away from their s0-called friends and those relationships definitely suffered because of it.
A woman took to Reddit’s “Am I the Asshole?” thread and asked the folks on that forum to ask if she was wrong for taking a spare key away from her friend who she unexpectedly surprised in her own home.
Read the story below and we’ll see you on the other side to discuss this situation.
AITA for taking away my friend’s spare key after she went into my house without permission from AmItheAsshole
First of all, I’m not really sure I even believe her story about trying to find her necklace. Secondly, what consenting adults choose to do in their own homes in no one’s business.
People on Reddit had a lot of thoughts about this story.
This reader definitely did not think that she was in the wrong and believes that the whole situation seems a little…fishy…

Another person responded that her “friend” who had the spare key broke the sacred bond of trust and that no one should ever snoop around another person’s home.

Another commenter recommended changing the locks ASAP…which is a pretty good idea.

Here’s another take: this reader seems to think that the whole interaction was set up to be an intervention about the homeowner’s lifestyle choices.

And finally, this person believes that the woman who used to have the spare key needs to apologize and atone for her discretions or else the friendship should be terminated.

What do you think?
Was her friend way out of line or did this woman overreact a little bit to her friend who is concerned about her?

We’re about to go down a morality rabbit hole. Parsing out what is noble and ignoble behavior is definitely nothing new. It’s been the obsession of religion and philosophy for pretty much as long as we’ve been able to put thoughts into words.
But as time goes on, and fields like psychology become more robust and accessible, the discussion around what’s good and bad behavior has stopped being the exclusive realm of a few, and has become more democratized, with a larger conversation opening up in the general public. A great example of that phenomenon is this post on r/AskReddit by user darkwulf1:
What is a toxic behavior that is disguised as virtue? from AskReddit
It’s a great question, and it prompted a lot of pretty thoughtful answers.
Here are some of the more interesting ones to consider.
I had an in-law who talked constantly about how generous and compassionate she was.
She could be both… But she had a tendency to get carried away by what she wanted for you rather than what you actually wanted.
She was the kind of person who would throw a big party for you when you explicitly told her you didn’t want a party, and she would talk constantly about how overwhelmed she was planning the party and how you should help in all these ways because, “I can’t do this on my own.”
– Squiddification
Mum says several people on her facebook are ANGRY that they were told their services weren’t needed when they signed up to the towns volunteer service to help folk during this crisis (we had an amazing number of people come forward).
They’re mad because they “want to help” and “do their bit” and honestly she realised so many of them are the ones who do charity drives and stuff like that just to show off how much of a #GoodPerson they are and to have others praise them for being a #GoodPerson
The ones we know who are helping are getting on and doing it. Odd picture or post but certainly not what these people would be doing.
– VulcanHullo
Supporting a person to a fault. In other words, being an enabler.
– mingmingcat
When people get involved in and regulate other people’s relationships.
They try to act like they’re helping but they always make it worse.

Grand “romantic” gestures.
I teach high school and it’s crazy how many times you see a kid basically bully their crush into being with them.
They make this huge public display and the kid is too shy to say no in front of everyone. It’s embarrassing and distressing for that poor kid.
– PanoramicTrouble
Over-studying, over-burdening, and excessive academic anxiety/self-doubt does not make for a dedicated pupil, but an unbalanced and miserable human being.
– DudeAbides101
When you tell people about how you’re feeling (to vent or when they ask how you’re doing in general) and they one-up you to make you feel like you don’t get to feel tired or sad or stressed etc cause they’re clearly having it harder than you are.
I was tired from school and work one day and I told my old roommate that I was feeling a little tired, and he hits me with “Oh YOU’RE tired? I only had 5 hours of sleep and I had to wake up early this morning cause I had PT (he’s in ROTC)”
– japanesepopstars
Telling kids that they are so different than everyone else while implying that they are somehow better.
The actual healthy thing to do is to stress that everyone is unique, and the kid’s natural gifts make them who you are just like other kids’ gifts make them unique.
– InnocuousDaisy
Working for “exposure”.
This one gets me because companies use it as an excuse to not pay someone or not pay them the amount they deserve.
They claim “exposure is your payment” but last I checked exposure doesn’t pay the bills.

The rise and grind mentality, saying if you’re not working towards something you’re wasting your time.
It’s important to take time to just relax or pursue a passion without monetary gain.
But society as a whole has deemed this as wasting your time.

“Family comes first.”
I grew up thinking that I had a very close extended family until I realized just how sh^tty and miserable most of them were.
I have cut them out and feel so much better about it.

Toxic positivity, ie: people who try to find the good in everything.
There’s a lot to be said for having a positive outlook but it quickly becomes toxic when you start defending abusers (I’m sure your parents still loved you in their own way) or trivializing people’s sadness (so you got fired – it just means you get to pursue a new opportunity!).
Sometimes the appropriate answer to a situation is to just acknowledge that things suck.
– schnit123
Corporate passive aggressive behavior.
Yes, you’re saying all the right things and everything checks out if read back on a transcript, but you and I both know you’ve simply found a way to abuse the rules for your own gain.
– InternetKidsAreMean
People who say ” This is just the way I am; If you can’t handle that, oh well”.
Like… No. You’re wrong.
I understand to an extent that if people don’t like you for being yourself, they can go f*ck themselves; BUT, if you are a person who seriously does not know how to speak to people or are just rude in general and claim “that’s just how I am”, you’re wrong.
People need to know it is not okay to be rude or obnoxious and that you should be able to know the difference of being yourself and just being a d%ck.

There’s a reason sleep deprivation is used as a form of torture – it absolutely screws with your ability to use your brain in a responsible, adult manner. Decisions suck, you want to cry all of the time, and yeah, you definitely forget things you normally wouldn’t.
It’s all a haze, those first weeks and months home with a kiddo, but if you’ve got a good sleeper, it gets better after that.
If you don’t, well. Godspeed my friends.
I’m not sure if these 14 parents have bad sleepers, new babies, or they’re just having a hell of a week, but they’re definitely making mistakes only sleep-deprived people make.
Because now you have to fight your kids for the good ones.
I’ve melted stuff in the oven, but never anything this precious.
Just me?
Or did she? You’ll never know.
One is on the wrong foot?
Also, how many times have you reheated your coffee today?
Give yourself a pat on the back for cleaning up, my friend.
Karma is always waiting, even if it takes decades.
Also, babies don’t need socks. The proof is in how they will not stay on their feet.
Unless you feel like crying, because then, by all means…
Major brain misfire, there.
How does she warm up her coffee?
On the roof, in the ignition…you name it!
Fewer bottles to wash, too.
I remember those days, but here’s the good news – you’re so foggy you probably won’t remember all of the bonehead moves you made, anyway.
If you recall doing something totally stupid in a sleep-deprived state, share it with us in the comments!

Random stuff became a “thing” on social media for only a brief moment and they leave you scratching your head.
Sometimes, those things are also terrifying and you wonder if the whole idea was spawned by Satan himself.
This is one of those things.
For some reason, people have been Photoshopping and Faceswapping adult teeth onto babies and little kids and it’s just downright creepy.
Are you ready for some legit nightmare fuel?
Okay, you asked for it…
He looks pretty uncomfortable with the whole thing.
This is hilarious.
He’s cool with it.
Somehow scarier when their eyes are closed.
For days and days…
Oh, it will haunt you for a long time to come…
Kind of hard to look away, isn’t it?
Not the kid’s fault, of course.
And double the terror!
Face of a baby, mouth of a grown-up.
Are you scared yet?
A big set of choppers on a little kiddo will never NOT BE disturbing, I don’t know what else to say about it.
Okay, now we want you to get involved.
In the comments, please share a photo of a funny (or scary) Photoshop or a Faceswap that you’ve done with your friends and family.
Let’s get weird! Really weird!

Looking for something fun to do while you’re stuck at home during this whole shitshow that’s going on around the world?
Well, perhaps you’ll be inspired by a guy who lives in Perth, Australia who Photoshops his dogs, Summer and Apollo, into famous movie scenes. Think you’re about to see Princess Leia? Think again, that’s Summer…or maybe it’s Apollo, I’m not really sure.
The point is that these photos are quite hilarious and we think you’ll get a kick out of them. This is called using your time wisely, people!
Enjoy.
Which animals are more vicious?
Who wore it better?
You are perfect.
Under the moon.
I hope you don’t think this is blasphemy.
Dr. Jones!!!!!!
Gives the movie a new storyline.
Nobody puts Baby in a corner.

A very famous scene.
This is amazing.
This scene was such a huge deal. Those were the days…
Those are great! And I don’t think I’ll ever look at Titanic the same way again.

The post Guy Replaces People in Famous Movie Scenes With His Dogs appeared first on UberFacts.
Are you ready for some real talk? Let’s talk about the way we treat each other, and the way we disguise the bad as good and the good as bad. That’s the kind of conversation that got kicked off in a post from darkwulf1 on r/AskReddit:
What is a toxic behavior that is disguised as virtue? from AskReddit
The post quickly amassed thousands of comments – a few jokes here and there, but mostly honest feedback and frustration examining morality. Here are a few examples of some of the most interesting points.
The workaholic.
It’s fine to work hard at something you love, but not at the expense of everything else.
– kazu-sama
People saying they did stuff that directly affects us without our permission for ‘looking after your best interests’
– dhavalaa123
Persistence in relationships.
It’s always sold in Rom-coms and in relationships.
But usually your persistence is a complete lack of respect for other people’s boundaries or holding onto things that aren’t working out.
– fishnugget1
People that do good deeds so they can brag about it or use it to their own advantage.
“Look at me, I’m such a good person! I do all these nice things, not because I wanted to be a good person or anything, nope!
Just so I could tell everyone about all the good things I do! Repeatedly. Like all the time. Because I’m a good person, remember?
Hey by the way, could you do me a fav-.”
– bayleaf0098
That kind of Hustle Culture where successful people give “motivational” speeches (or more often Instagram captions) where they say stuff like “if you’re not succeeding you’re not working hard enough” or “we all have the same 24 hours.” We don’t all have the same 24 hours.
If you have kids, subtract a couple hours. If you have kids without a live in nanny subtract a bunch of hours. If you have to work a minimum wage job to make rent subtract hours. If you don’t have help to cook/clean/grocery shop/etc, subtract hours.
That’s part of why Kylie Jenner’s whole “self-made millionaire” think bugs me. Even IF she came up with her own ideas and did her portion of the work, she never had to worry about financial support to start her brand, or childcare while she was working, or who was going to cook meals for her and her kid or clean her house. Her lip fillers alone, which are a huge portion of her brand, can cost up to 2000 dollars a pop.
You’re not “self-made” if you couldn’t have done it without your parent’s money.
– tomis2003
Being the “supportive” friend/significant other who will never say no even if it’s a really bad idea.
– SoundedDoughnut
People that say they’re always 100% honest and aren’t afraid to speak their mind.
It’s definitely useful when needed, but all the time just makes the person seem insufferable and rude.
– RackingRods
Being offended on behalf of another person without knowing or wanting to know their opinion.
– Dr-Sateen
Woke companies.
They are literally just trying to sell more sh^t by piggybacking onto whatever is the cause of the day.
– Trip_The_3rd
Helicopter parenting, that sh^t scars you, makes you unable to function like a normal adult and struggle to make your own decisions when it comes to responsibility.
– bovineexcrement
Constant self-diminishing and downplaying of your abilities as “humility”.
Just accept and recognize that you’re pretty skilled / have a lot of experience in something, instead of saying that it’s easy, that anyone could do the same and the list goes on.
– Chrysophren
Over-the-top kindness often masks agenda. Charisma goes a long way toward hiding darker traits.
– everysperm_is_sacred
Aggressive self-care — sometimes people use this as a hard stop to get out of things that they do not want to do because you can’t argue with someone saying that they need self-care.
But there’s a line between doing what you need to in order to bolster emotional and mental health and being lazy/taking advantage of people who want to support self-care more.
– BoundlessResonance
The super ultra laid back mentality.
Not everything is ok. Not everything is a joke or is cool.
It’s good to have boundaries and to take things seriously.
– coldbloodedcreatures
Accepting the objective truth in the form of a compromise.
IE If one person says the sky is blue, and another says the sky is yellow, the compromise would be that the sky is green (blue and yellow mixed), which is onviously not the objective truth.
– LondonDude123
