An Employee Tells Co-Workers Not Everyone at Work Can Afford To Buy a House. Did They Act Like a Jerk?

It’s kind of interesting how sometimes you find yourself in a situation where people assume that everyone has a lot of money. Or even enough money to get by…

And, the truth of the matter is that not everyone out there can afford to buy a house.

A person took to Reddit’s “Am I the *sshole?” page to share their story and to ask the readers on that forum if they were wrong for their actions.

Let’s take a look.

AITA for bluntly telling the people I work with that no, not “everyone in the office” can afford to buy a house?

“My coworkers are usually pretty good to work with. The average salary for them is around 100k+. I’m their administrative assistant and I make about $32k. Anyway some of the things they say are kind of weird.

For example this one woman was shocked that I’d never had any of my clothes tailored before. I think they just really caught up in their own reality you know? Like in their world everyone is beautiful and skinny and rich with purebred dogs and perfect white teeth.

I was helping organize and someone announced they finally bought their first house. The conversation continued on to them kind of being rude and saying like “I don’t get why people think no one can afford to buy a house, it’s not hard?” and someone was like “Yeah I can’t imagine being in my 30s and still renting, I’d feel like such a failure” and they all agreed.

I don’t usually get upset about the sh*t they’re talking about but I finally had it and was like “I’m 38 and rent, I don’t think I’m a failure”

One of them was like “Oh well we weren’t talking about you, it’s just that all these people always go on and on about how it’s impossible to save for a down payment.”

I was just like “Yeah, it is pretty hard.”

It was obvious the whole atmosphere in the room changed so I was like “Anyway” and got up and left to the main office to get back to work. Later on one of the other women in the office came up and was like “Hey I’m sorry about earlier I didn’t mean to offend you. It got kind of awkward in there.”

I said yeah, it was pretty awkward listening to them talk about how they’d feel like a failure if they were in my shoes. She said that’s not what she meant, she actually meant that it felt like I was trying to call attention to the wage gap like it was their fault, and that if I wanted to better myself they could help me figure out how to apply to schools and work my way up just like they did.

I said a kind of half-hearted “thanks.” It’s been weird in the office since then. I know money is one of those no-no topics but it’s not like it’s a secret that I only make what I make.

We don’t have HR and this really isn’t an HR thing.

AITA.”

Here’s what people on Reddit had to say about this.

This reader said that these folks obviously live in an echo chamber and don’t get a whole lot of exposure to other people.

Another reader said this kind of attitude is why nothing ever really changes for a lot of folks out there as far as income goes.

This Reddit user made it clear: this person was not wrong in their statements and the people in their office deserved to be called out.

And this individual had a unique take on the conversation: it was flat-out condescending.

A Woman Left Her Husband at a Clinic After He Pranked Her. Does This Make Her an A-Hole?

I’m not sure what kind of a person would pull a “prank” like this, but the world is filled with a lot of strange people.

And I can’t wrap my head around why anyone would think something like this would be funny…but the world is a strange place.

And this woman got put in a very weird and terrible spot thanks to a cruel prank played by her husband…but she wants to know if she was wrong for how she reacted about it.

Here’s what happened:

AITA for yelling at my husband then leaving him at the clinic after his prank?

“Me F28 and my husband M34 have been married for a year. Before I met him I got a dog named Ollie (A German shepherd) that was originally my sister’s but she passed away and I immediately took him to live with me.

My husband adores Ollie he sometimes jokes that he’s married to me only because of Ollie. He likes making jokes and doing pranks but some of them are downright nasty. He’d always get me worried by lying saying Ollie ran off when he was hiding him in a place I didn’t know about.

He knows how much worried and stressed out those pranks make me but he says my reaction is priceless and worth the yelling/lashing afterwards.

Ollie needed to be taken to the veterinary clinic for a check-up. My husband said he’d handle it. During the second visit to get the results. I received a call from my husband and his voice sounded like he wasn’t okay. I asked what was wrong. I got really worried after he said it was about Ollie.

I was starting to shake I kept asking what was going on and he told me that Ollie’s been diagnosed with cancer. He said he wanted me to come over to the clinic as soon as possible because Ollie was with the vet.

I couldn’t stand. I started asking is that why Ollie lost weight lately? And such. I rushed to the clinic and found my husband standing near the entrance with Ollie. First thing I noticed was him laughing hysterically telling me that I really bought in to his lie.

I was confused he said it was just a prank Ollie is perfectly healthy and handed me the results to check. After I checked I lost it. I lashed out at him. Ngl I called him awful names and his face suddenly turned red like he didn’t expect me to react that way.

He argued that I made it a big deal “obviously” and was being mean to him over a prank that didn’t even last an hour. I kept lashing out I didn’t give him a chance to keep talking I took Ollie and the keys then I left. I arrived to the clinic in a taxi. I left him at the clinic while me and Ollie went home by the car.

3 hours later he came back and was upset. He usually laughs even in serious situations but this time he didn’t. He argued that I shouldn’t have left him like that and that I overreacted. Said he was trying to make good memories to look back on and laugh at but I was unnecessarily overreacting. He stopped talking after that.

Just wanted to mention that this started months after his father’s passing. His family said he never mentions his dad nor keep anything of his although they were very close.

I never met his father but they told me he wasn’t suffering from anything and his death was sudden and my husband had a hard time processing it. This could be the reason for his behavior.”

Here’s how Reddit users responded.

This person made it clear: this was abuse.

Another reader also said that this is an abusive relationship and that her husband needs some help.

This reader said that this is gaslighting…”trying to make good memories”? I don’t think so…

Another reader pointed out that the husband needs some serious help.

Finally, this Reddit user said there’s no doubt about it: this woman’s husband is a huge *sshole.

So what do you think?

Did this woman act like an *sshole, or is she in the clear?

Is It Bad to Tell a Friend That You Don’t Care if She Likes How You Look?

I like to say that one of the best days of my life was the one when I truly stopped caring what other people think – and while that’s true, I do think that some people’s opinions matter.

If you trust someone and their thoughts on certain matters, then of course, you might care what they think about a certain topic. Everyone else, though, can suck it.

This woman is wondering whether or not she was wrong to tell a friend she didn’t care about her opinion on clothes, though, and the backstory is that her friend and roommate is super into the body positivity movement – to the point where she’s not afraid to police where her friends go to the doctor or buy their clothes.

I (24f) live with 2 other women Claire (23f), and Joan (24f).

Joan spent most of last week helping her boyfriend find and move into a new flat, so we haven’t seen much of her.

Joan is a bigger girl (a UK 22) and is very into the body positivity movement, in particular the health at any size movement but to a dangerous and quite toxic degree (ie she recently complained about discrimination to our GP practice after a nurse told her she couldn’t have the combined pill due to her weight).

One if her major bugbears is when brands only sell straight sizes (6 to 16/18) it is her opinion that if brands don’t sell a larger size range that they should be boycotted, and anyone who buys from them is approving of their size exclusivity.

While that roommate was out of town, OP and her other roommate bought cute sundresses from an “unapproved” retailer – someone who doesn’t sell plus sizes – and planned to wear them for an at-home tea that might lift their spirits.

Earlier this week to cheer ourselves up Claire and I each ordered a dress sundress from House of CB, living in Britain in March that may seem a bit hopeful but they are pretty and a girl can dream of summer!

They arrived Friday night, and Claire and I decided that on Sunday we’d have afternoon tea and wear them (it would also act as a distraction from the fact it was mother’s day and we couldn’t be with our mums). We text Joan to see if she wanted to join but she declined.

Then the third roommate came home, asked about the dresses, and then began shaming the other girls for supporting that retailer.

Joan came home during the tea, and all was fine at first she had a scone and chatted away until she asked about the dresses, we told her they were House of CB and she looked them up, then she said “why the f*ck are you guys supporting somewhere like this?”, we said “what?”, and she started ranting about the sizing (XXS to L+, UK 4/6, to 14/16).

OP told her in no uncertain terms that she didn’t care whether or not the roommate approved of her dress, and that the last thing anyone needed during a pandemic was more people trying to steal their joy.

Which… I definitely agree with.

I told her to calm down, and that the dresses are pretty, she told us that she was appalled at us wearing them, then started ranting.

I stopped her and said that her opinion on clothes sizing does not affect me and should not affect if Claire and I are trying to find some happiness in these times, that we should be allowed to shop wherever we want and that she needs to stop obsessing over it.

The roommate stormed off and declared she wasn’t speaking to the other girls unless they returned the dresses, leaving OP to wonder whether or not she was an a$shole for stating her opinion.

Joan then stormed off to her room, and is still refusing to speak to either of us.

Only texting us once to say “I’m only talking to you if you send those dresses back and apologise”.

Are we the a**holes here?

I know weight and clothing is a sensitive topic, and I know that she has a thing about it, but I don’t see why that should affect what Claire and I are allowed to buy and wear, however I am aware I was a few cocktails in so could have been a bit more sensitive about it myself.

I’m only really questioning it as her reaction is so extreme.

So, was the roommate’s reaction extreme?

Reddit, of course, is weighing in.

This person pointed out that you’re allowed to have your own moral guidelines when shopping, but to try to force them on other people is gross.

Image Credit: Reddit

There was plenty of (warranted) snark to be found.

Image Credit: Reddit

Pretty much everyone said they should keep the dresses (if they like them).

Image Credit: Reddit

It’s almost like she doesn’t want to have any friends.

Image Credit: Reddit

Everyone deserves to feel fabulous in their clothes, no matter the size!

Image Credit: Reddit

This could probably have been handled a bit more delicately, but in the end, she wasn’t wrong.

I hope the friend wises up and realizes that she won’t win anyone to her size by bossing people around – yeesh.

An Entitled Karen Tried to Force This Person Out of Guitar Lesson

Karens really never cease to amaze me.

They’re rude, they’re crude, they’re ignorant, and most of all…they’re ENTITLED.

And this story that someone shared on Reddit is a real beauty.

Let’s see what happened…

Guitar Karen DEMANDS my time slot because her son needs “something to do after school”.

“This happened a couple of days ago and I thought you guys would enjoy it. As a bit of backstory, I play the electric guitar. I take lessons from a teacher that is absolutely the best in the area at what he does. He’s been doing it for about 30 years now so he’s really, really good. Understandably, he’s also really, really booked up.

When COVID hit and everyone started doing online classes for school, he lost a bunch of students because they’d typically go to his class after school and since they weren’t in school or doing extracurricular activities, their parents I guess decided to yank them from guitar lessons too.

One of the things that makes my teacher awesome is that he tends to give scheduling priority to his older students (like me, 41) because they don’t give him the headache of having to manage every little thing between this and that thing for school. It kind of sucks for parents but he’s had enough of the headaches of rearranging everyone’s life because little Johnny has to play his leading role of being a rock in the school play.

Now this matters because now that kids are starting to go back into the classrooms where I live, parents are blowing up his phone trying to schedule their little darlings back into lessons, while us older folks have been dutifully attending (or doing online lessons) and paying the whole time. So if you’ve been doing that all this time and you’ve got the 3:30 slot and you like it, that’s where you stay.

This matters because of Guitar Karen. Guitar Karen’s son used to take lessons but she pulled him out for the last 9 months or so. In-school classes are starting up, and Guitar Karen wants as little to do with her kid as possible, so she has apparently enrolled him in every possible after school activity that exists. I know this because my teacher rolls his eyes as our lesson is about to begin because his phone is pinging like crazy.

I thought it might be an emergency or something so when he returned to the room, I said, your phone has been going crazy (he normally turns it off during our session) and he just mutters something and turns it off, talking about how this woman has signed her kid up for track, baseball, art, band and now guitar and in order to ensure he has something to do every single day of the week, he absolutely MUST have this 4:00 slot.

You can imagine where this is going. Guess who’s slot that is. Mine.

I’m super flexible with regard to the days of the week, just not the time of day (because I work until then). I told him as much but he’s like “no, I’m not moving you, don’t worry.” He turns off his phone and we continue on our lesson. Within like five minutes, his computer is going Ping! Ping! pingpingpingping! and he’s like “holy mother of f*ck.”and shuts the lid.

Blissful silence for the remainder of our lesson. Until he opens the classroom door and there stands Guitar Karen: A kind of heavyset woman with her lips pursed like she’s gonna give you a kiss, and her brow looking like it has permanently stuck itself in the scowl position and a “Mama Bear” t-shirt on (I sh*t you not)

“YOU!” she yells at me. Now I’ve never seen this lady in my life but she’s got no mask on so my instinctive reaction is to social distance my *ss right the hell away from her but she just Godzilla stomps her way in, knocking over a music stand and sending papers everywhere. She turns and shouts at the teacher.

“WHY WON’T YOU GIVE MY SON THIS TIME SPOT. HE NEEDS IT. YOU NEED TO RESCHEDULE YOUR OTHER STUDENTS AND STOP SINGLING ME OUT BECAUSE MY SON HAS OTHER ACTIVITIES.”

The poor guy can’t get a word in edgewise. She’s standing in the doorway so I can’t leave.

She looks me up and down. Me, who is very much a t-shirt and jeans kind of lady and is wearing a shirt that says “I like heavy metal, coffee, cats, and maybe 3 people.” and is like I BET YOU DON’T EVEN HAVE A JOB. YOU’RE PROBABLY SOME WASHED OUT COLLEGE DROP OUT. WHY’D YOU PICK THIS TIME SLOT ANYWAY. IS IT BECAUSE YOU KNEW SOMEONE LIKE ME MIGHT NEED IT? YOU NEED TO GIVE IT TO MY SON.

I also can’t say a d*mn word because this woman just won’t shut up.

Now let me reiterate that my teacher is the chillest guy on the planet. But he nearly died last year from sepsis on top of the whole COVID thing, so he’s REALLY understandably p*ssed when someone gets in your face and is stabbing your chest with their long-nailed finger and spraying insults without a mask on.

He gets between me and her and says YOU NEED TO BACK UP OR GET OUT. They take their confrontation out into the hallway. He tells me to go ahead and leave and he’ll handle her. I hear him tell this lady.

“Listen, loves_spain has been with me for years and I’d better never hear you insult her or any of my other students ever again. Your behavior is disgusting and you need to leave the premises now before I call security.” (We don’t have security in the building but she doesn’t need to know that — he was so fired up, I think HE could’ve landed her flat on her *ss in that moment).

She turns completely meek and is like “What about lessons for my son?” And at this point the teacher was like “absolutely not.” And she’s like “but he needs this!” and the teacher said “not my problem.” and acted as if he were dialing security on his phone. She scuttled out of there as I was leaving the parking lot. I wanted to give my teacher the biggest high-five.

He later told me he didn’t hear from her since then, but he thinks this isn’t the last encounter. I imagine she’s the type of person that will come down there every weekday at that time to berate whichever poor student has that spot because her son obviously NEEEEDS IT!!!

Here’s how folks on Reddit reacted after reading the story.

This person said that they think the guitar teacher was a hero in this scenario.

Another reader said that the guitar teacher should put the woman and her kids on blast for not following safety protocol.

This Reddit user said that this Karen might just be upset for actually having to spend time with her children…they might be right…

Finally, a person argued that Karen’s kid in this situation seems to be way over-indexed and it’s probably the mom here who is making her kids do too many activities.

Okay, now we want to hear from you.

Have you had to deal with any Karens and their crazy behavior lately?

If so, tell us your stories in the comments. Thanks a lot!

Karma Got These Four Young People Who Weren’t Behaving at a Restaurant

Some kids just don’t learn from their parents (or others) how to behave when they go out to eat in a public place.

And four young kids who didn’t like where they were seated got a bit of a lesson about courtesy at an establishment.

Let’s see what happened.

Sweet poetic karma for 4 whiny pre-teens who didn’t like their table.

“About a year ago I remember the restaurant I used to work in, a notable sports bar was playing a VERY important football match.

Arguably the most important of the season.

2 months prior to the match we were getting calls for reservations and by the final week we had every table booked. Now something you should know about our restaurant is that it is set up quite oddly. Some tables have a better view of our TVs whereas others don’t. That’s compensated somewhat by the availability of two pull down projector screens.

Anyway, this particular story relates to such a table. If you imagine walking into this restaurant, the table is facing horizontally to the nearest TV. So, without the projector screen there would be two guests with their backs to the action.

Then arrives the guests, everything seems to be going fine. They arrive early, and I take them to their table. The lead of the group, let’s call him Chad obviously isn’t that much impressed.

Chad: How the f*ck are we supposed to watch the TV?

Frankly I’m a little bit taken aback by his language, but given its game day and its understandably frustrating (from his point of view he probably isn’t aware of the projector screen).

Me: Well, we do-

That’s when he interrupts.

Chad: Can we sit over there?

He’s pointing to a 8 seater booth. I know why – it’s because it has arguably the best view of our biggest TV. Nevertheless, his is a 4 man booking and that 8 seater is obviously already booked.

Me: That table is booked, as is every other-

And again with another interruption.

Chad: Well f*cking put someone else here. We want to sit there.

Baring in mind his 3 other mates are silent throughout. In retrospect they are all arguably so much more polite than this bag of pus.

Me: Well that wouldn’t be fair, now would it? Now if you let me explain-

Chad: No f*ck this and f*ck you. I’ll take my money elsewhere. Cancel my booking.

I very nearly laughed at that last bit, because I know why he made such a big deal about the larger table now. I would later find out that this particular cretin is stinking rich. He has daddy’s money. But oh well, one booking cancelled. No sweat. The 3 boys leave led by the walking testicle. That’s when the next group of customers really turns the situation well around.

Customer: I’m sorry, I couldn’t help overhear that they cancelled their booking? We haven’t booked, and we’re 4 persons. Can we have their table instead?

This is exactly why one cancelled booking for me on a busy day like this is no sweat. One persons trash is another’s treasure – so to speak. I happily sit the 4 men down, and the guys actually cheer when I bring the projector down.

That’s when it happens.

Testicle McDoucheface rounds the corner and spots the projector. He re-enters the queue for tables and waits his turn. By the time he’s up front, I can barely hide my grin.

Chad: So…we changed our mind (meaning he changed his mind and now wants the table now he realizes that nowhere else in the city has vacancy).

Me: I’m afraid your tables already been given away.

Chad: But we reserved!

Me: Yeah, and you also communicated to me just now that you wish to cancel. I’m afraid your table was already given away.

Chad: You know, that’s a really bad business practice. You should honor your commitments to reservations.

Me: Aslong as the reserving party wishes to remain. Which you did not communicate to me at all.

I then leave the host stand and tend to that table. All the while Chad is given me a look that I can only describe as ‘I f*cked up, but internally I’m gonna make sure this is all your fault’.

Sweet, sweet karma.”

Let’s see how folks reacted to this story on Reddit.

This person said that this was sweet, sweet revenge. And also, to Hell with Chad!

Another reader said that the night was probably a good one after the ringleader of the group took off.

Photo Credit: Reddit

And here’s an obvious take on the story.

Photo Credit: Reddit

Finally, this reader was totally on board with this story and it left them feeling A-OK!

We want to hear from more folks in the service industry!

Tell us about your worst customers in the comments.

Please and thank you!

A Wife Asked If Being Angry at Her Husband for Eating All Their Daughter’s Birthday Candy Was Wrong

What you’re about to read from Reddit’s “Am I the *sshole?” page might make you a little bit upset.

Or, you might not think it was a huge deal and that this wife overreacted in a big way.

That’s the beauty of the stories that people post on that forum! Let’s take a look.

AITA for blowing up at my husband at my husband for eating my daughter’s bday candy?

“My husband and I have a 12 year old daughter and an 8 year old son.

My husband is the “no” parent. For as long as I can remember he will say no in stores or sports games to the kid’s requests for snacks or toys, even if they offer to pay with their own cash.I don’t undermine my husband when we are together but when I have the kids alone, I do tend to say yes (within reason of course, and not to every single thing)

Two days ago was my daughter’s birthday. It’s her second birthday that we’ve been in lockdown and I bought her 2 boxes of her favorite candy, along with her gifts. My daughter ate some of the Swedish fish out of the first box and decided to save the rest on her dresser where her brother is too short to reach and assumed us the parents wouldn’t take any.

Well was I wrong. I awoke to my daughter crying that her dad had eaten her second box of Swedish fish and some out of the first box and only left her with a few. I checked the trash in our bedroom and confirmed my husband had eaten them.I was FURIOUS. I screamed at him that he is a grown man who can go to the store and buy whatever the f*ck he wants without anyone to tell him no.

While he always says no to our kids and the rare time she gets to eat her favorite candy, his *ss has to eat it.He said we were both making a big deal over candy. I told him it was more than just candy, that he obviously doesn’t like seeing the kids happy, and he’s a thief.

I took my kids with to my sister’s house to cool down, and bought my daughter more Swedish fish to make up for the ones that my husband stole.We’re still at my sister’s house a day later. Until my husband can truly apologize to his child, the thought of him disgusts me.

AITA?”

Hmmmm. Let’s see how people reacted on Reddit.

This person made a good point: this marriage seems incredibly dysfunctional and this woman seems like she’s at the end of her rope with her husband.

Another reader said that even though it seems like it on the surface, this story really isn’t about candy: it’s about the whole marriage.

Another individual talked about how her own father stole food from her all the time when they were growing up, so they can relate.

This person called the situation what it probably is: THE LAST STRAW.

And finally, this person said that some parents really don’t even treat their kids with respect…and this sounds like a classic case of that.

Was This Person a Jerk for Refusing to Watch Their Brother’s Child? Here’s What People Said.

Do you think you can watch my kids tonight?

How about FOR A WEEK?

I guess family members can ask that of each other, but it seems a bit extreme.

But that’s what happened to this person who shared their story on the “Am I the *sshole?” page on Reddit.

Let’s see what happened and how people on Reddit responded.

AITA for refusing to watch my brother’s baby unless he agrees to watch my kids later?

“I have four kids, ages 11, 9, 6, 5.

My brother and his wife recently had their first kid and we were delighted. Last night my bro called and asked if I could do him a favor: watch their baby for 7 nights so he can surprise his wife with a trip in a couple months. She will be 8 months old at the time.

He called clearly expecting that I’d say SURE and that would be the end of it. But honestly, I was very hesitant. The baby has major sleep issues (SIL posts a lot on SM about it) and a week is a long time. Also I suspect it will actually be 8 nights because he needs to drop the baby at our house (3 hours away). I told him I’d get back to him and he was clearly annoyed.

I did not want to do it because honestly, someone else’s baby is just different and taking her for a week is daunting. But I did want to help. Finally, I landed in what I thought would be the perfect solution for everyone: I would suck it up for a week of no sleep, if in exchange my bro agreed to watch my crew for three or four nights this fall so I could take my husband somewhere to celebrate a milestone bday.

This went over like a lead balloon.

He thinks I’m TA because a) I’m (mostly) a SAHM and supposedly have time, b) there are 4 of my kids to 1 of his, c) he and his wife have jobs and they would have to burn vacation days to watch mine, d) ‘our house is too small” and they don’t want to spend the weekend at mine.

My position: I might have four kids, but they are older and so much easier than an infant. They do not need constant supervision and do not stay up half the night screaming. I’d sooner watch 4 big kids for 7 days than an infant for 3, tbh. I also resent the implication that I have nothing better to do.

My brother said he couldn’t commit to babysitting at a specific time right now but asked me to just agree and ‘we’ll work it out later’ because he wanted to tell his wife about the trip. I said no. He said he’d be screwed if I didn’t because he already paid for flights (‘too good a deal to wait’) and his wife ‘desperately needs a break.’

I suggested he just add the baby as a lap infant and take her too (I have mentioned before we’ve used agencies for babysitters so we could have an evening or two out on vacation) and he got very p*ssed and said he knew my refusal is all based on me ‘judging him’ for ‘not wanting to parent like YOU.’

The context of this comment is that we moved abroad for a few years when ours were little and had the last two overseas. We traveled extensively with the kids from the time they were tiny. But that has nothing to do with my refusal — I’m obviously pro kid-free travel since this is the source of the conflict! — it is all about the length of time I’d be watching a young baby, with likely no actual payback.

Why I might be TA: when I texted my group chat, one friend totally agreed with me, one said she understood my side completely but ‘would probably do it for family if it was her’ and the last one hasn’t said anything so I suspect she thinks I’m being mean.”

Wow…that’s an unusual one.

This person said a baby this young shouldn’t be babysat by someone for more than a short period of time.

Another reader said that she had a bad experience watching a baby…and that was only for a few hours.

This individual echoed my sentiment: who asks someone to watch a baby for a whole week?!?!

And another person chimed in and said that this is a HUGE request that the brother is making…and this person already has FOUR KIDS at home. Jeez…

Is This Person a Jerk for Getting Their Neighbor’s Car Towed?

Once you decide to get a person’s car towed, you know there’s gonna be some drama coming…if they find out who you are, that is.

And a person shared a towing story on Reddit’s “Am I the *sshole?” page and they asked for some feedback about the situation.

Let’s see what went down!

AITA for getting neighbor’s car towed for blocking me and now they want me to pay for their tow fee and ticket for calling to get them towed?

“I recently bought a house that was vacant for a while and people were using it as parking.

I moved in now it’s clear someone lives there so people stopped parking there.

Sometime last week I had to leave but couldn’t because when I opened my garage door there was a car there blocking it in.

I don’t know who’s car it is and I’m not going to waste my f*cking time walking around knocking on doors to figure out who’s it is.

Also you could’ve parked in the grass or off to the side or something I don’t know

Now I found out it’s someone 3 doors down because they knocked on my door demanding I pay them back because I’m the one who called to get it towed.

I told they should’ve had their visitors park at their house and they said “no, because we’ve always parked here”

Okay well not anymore and I’m not paying for your sh*t.

I kind of feel bad how much they had to pay but I shouldn’t have to take time out of my day to go figure out who’s car it is because they’re being d*cks.

Also why park in front of the garage??? Literally anywhere else would’ve just been annoying but I could’ve gone on with my day.”

Here’s what folks on AskReddit had to say about this.

A reader said that the person who got the car towed is definitely not wrong here…and they shared their own story of getting towed…

This person said that the writer of the post was only behaving like a responsible human.

Imagine that…

This person pointed out that they actually handled the situation like an adult…even though they’re only a teenager.

And finally, this person called them a “respectful teenager” and said that the writer’s parents obviously raised them the right way. Bravo!

Now we want to hear from you.

Do you think this was a total d*ck move?

Or not a big deal?

Woman Asks Her Mom to Not Talk About Her Children’s Weight. Was She a Jerk?

People sure do get offended when it comes to talking about weight.

And it doesn’t always have to be their own…

A mom asked if she acted like an *sshole when she asked her own mother to not talk about her children’s weight.

Let’s see how this story unfolded.

AITA for asking my mom to not talk about my children’s weight?

“My mother has almost always been very thin. All her life she bragged about her low weight, “healthy” eating and fitness routine.

When I was about 4 I remember watching a feed the children commercial with her. She pointed to the little starving children with big bloated bellies and told me that if I didn’t eat I would look like them. Apparently I wasn’t a big eater back then. It struck me as a 4 year-old so much that I went to the fridge and grabbed a carrot to eat.

Fast forward to my teen years. My mother constantly talked about my growing body. She was always flat chested and I happen to have bigger breast. She was always pointing out hips or my butt. Which lead me to struggle with eating disorders.

She always made me feel like because I weighed more then her that I was not good enough. She obsessed with the fact her normal weight was in the 120s.

I moved out at 16 and found myself for the next 20 years struggling with my weight until recently.

My husband loves my body and tells me everyday I am beautiful. He loves every curve. While I want to be healthy, I don’t care about the number on the scale.

My mom still makes comments to me about my weight. Straight out called me fat in front of my husband and stepdad. Both were shocked. We were at a funeral at the time.

My husband mentioned it to me and I shrugged it off. I told him I was use to it and she didn’t mean anything by it.

Fast forward to last month. My oldest daughter is a teen. She is tall and womanly for her age. She is by no means fat. She is stunning and could be a model. I have no doubt she will be 5 foot 9 by the time she is done growing.

My mom was over and made the comment in front of my youngest who is half my older daughters age. She said that it was good my daughter had started track because of the covid weight she had gained.

I kind of scuffed and said “She is going through early puberty. She has hips and a butt because she is turning into a women.”

My youngest said something about how she needs to practice running too. She loves to run and wants to be the fastest.

My mom told her that she didn’t need to lose much weight. She said this to my 8 year old.

At this point I shut down and said I had to make dinner so my mom left.

Later, I sent her a message and tried to write from the heart. I told her I loved her and asked out of love that she not speak about my children’s weight and for that matter mine.

I let her know that I struggled with bulimia as a teen and I don’t want my kids to go through that. I let her know it made me feel uncomfortable and that I no longer wanted to hold anger towards her but if such comments continued I would find that difficult.

She never responded and I haven’t heard from her since. She did however make a comment on my uncle’s post about his covid weight gain that “I’d make a joke but I was told recently that because I am skinny covid weight jokes are not funny”

Am I the *sshole here? Am I seeing criticism where it isn’t?”

Let’s see how people on Reddit responded.

This person said that the woman was not wrong here. At all.

Another reader agreed that this woman isn’t an *sshole and that her mother actually sounds kind of abusive.

Photo Credit: Reddit

This Reddit user said that the woman did the right thing for bringing this up with her mother so her kids wouldn’t have to deal with the nonsense.

Photo Credit: Reddit

This individual said that she was right to call her mom out about this and no one should let people say those kinds of things in front of their kids.

Lastly, this person said that the woman’s mother is the jerk in this situation and that she should consider stepping back from the relationship for a while to teach her mom a lesson.
