Was This Person Wrong for Forcibly Removing Her Boss’s Mother From the Workplace?

Employee-employer relationships are as complicated as any other human interactions, and the way this employee describes her boss’s oddities is more than enough to spark your curiosity…and then you hear the rest of the story.

Wow.

This woman has worked as an executive assistant for a man just a few years her elder for several months. At first she found him “strange,” and noted that he’s extremely religious.

I (26F) work for a large aviation company in the US. It is an amazing company to work for and I have been there for the past 4 years as an Executive Assistant.

My role can move around based on where the company needs admins. I started a new rotation at work about 6 months ago and I am now working with my new Boss “James”(32M).

James is a pretty decent guy but at first I found him a little odd. He is very quiet and shy. At first he couldn’t even seem to look me in directly in the eye.

Over time, the two of them have settled into working together, though, and she considers him a friend (who she’s maybe attracted to), and everyone is happy enough.

I noticed right away that he seems to be very religious. He had more crosses in his office than I have seen in most churches. I am from a Christian family as well and it’s quite common in my state to be religious. Some things just seemed a little over the top to me and that’s saying something.

James is a good guy though and over the past six months we have grown close. He has started to let his personality show. We get along well and work great together. We have now become good friends and he has opened up to me a great deal. Sometimes I even feel like there’s a spark between us but neither of us have ever acted on it.

It seemed like business as usual when he said that his mother was going to drop by one morning with lunch, and because he was in meetings all morning, asked that his assistant take the food and put it in the fridge.

No problem, right?

Yesterday James told me that his mother was in town and would be stopping by to bring him lunch today. James has never talked much about his family other than telling me they live out of state. He had meetings all morning and asked me to put it in the fridge once she arrived.

Well, when she greeted the mother, all hell broke loose. The woman screamed Bible verses at her and insisted that she couldn’t be her son’s assistant because her son would never work with a woman who “looked like her.”

She went into her son’s office and locked the door.

At 9:30 am his mom arrived with his lunch. I greeted her and introduced myself as James assistant. She just stared at me and then suddenly started to cry. I tried to ask her what was wrong but she just yelled bible verses at me.

She told me I can’t be James assistant because his assistant is male (My name is unisex so I don’t no if she assumed I was male). She than demanded that I leave her sons office immediately and told me that I am fired. She went into her sons office and proceeded to locked the door.

OP wasn’t sure what to do, as no one is supposed to be in her boss’s office when he’s not there and she didn’t believe there was a way to reach him, as he’s usually out of touch while in meetings.

So, she called security and had her escorted in the midst of a giant fit.

Her behaviour was really frightening and I didn’t no what to do. I am not supposed to allow anyone into his office when he is not present for confidentiality reasons. I tried to get her to leave but she wouldn’t open the door.

My boss is unreachable when he is in meetings, so I panicked and I called security. Security came and escorted her off the property as she threw a fit for everyone to see.

Her boss was upset about the scene, saying that he wishes she’d handled it differently and called him instead of security. He’s embarrassed about what happened.

James was very upset and says he wishes I handled it differently instead of “causing a scene” by calling security. He said his mother is just not used to “women like me being around her son” and that she was very protective. He said I should have called his cell phone instead of security and that I embarrassed him.

Some of my coworkers agree with me while others think that I was an asshole for calling security on his mother. I don’t think that I did anything wrong. I can’t shake this feeling that I’m an asshole for doing this.

If you ask me he should be embarrassed, but not about the way his assistant handled things. Yikes.

What does Reddit say? Let’s find out!

Short, sweet, and wise words.

It’s all just a bit creepy.

There’s faith and there’s religious fanaticism and the latter is to be avoided at all costs.

She’s definitely NTA here.

Was a Cashier Wrong for Losing Her Cool With an Extreme Couponer?

When we take jobs in customer service – jobs that involve working with human beings we don’t know – we know that we’re signing up for a certain amount of frustration.

Humans, after all, come in all shapes, sizes, and attitudes – and on any given day, we’re all capable of being our worst selves.

This girl is a cashier at a grocery store, and saw a family come in with an army of coupons, ready to make everyone’s life a living hell.

I (18F) am a cashier at a grocery store in my town.

This afternoon we had a large group of people come in together. Turns out they were extreme couponing. For anyone unaware of this, it’s basically people who clip coupons and shop for a shit-ton of groceries and they hope to pay as little as possible.

We see couponers all the time but I’ve never seen anyone go as crazy as this family did.

She ended up with 6 carts of groceries and expected to pay exactly $0 for her haul.

So, basically the mom had hundreds of coupons and a she didn’t bring any money because she thought if she didn’t bring money it would encourage her to do her best and get her groceries for free. Her family stayed by the cart corral while she shopped and every time she needed a new cart they’d give her one and take her full cart.

Eventually she finished shopping and she had about six carts of stuff. My manager shut my lane down and helped me bag and then we started ringing.

She and her manager worked together to try to ring up the order but the machines kept saying there were too many coupons to go through, and the couponer was holding up everyone else’s shopping trip.

We get to the end and I’m ringing in the coupons when I get an error message on my screen that says my POS reached the maximum number of coupons for the transaction. So, my manager voided the transaction and we started again and tried to keep each group items together but we kept having the issue with the coupons.

We even tried multiple transactions but my store only had five registers and there were people waiting to check out and we couldn’t get the coupons to go through properly.

The woman refused to buy anything, leaving it all at the register. OP got angry, letting her know that she had wasted everyone’s time and that now she would have to return everything to the shelves.

Her manager yelled at her and there was generally a whole scene.

So, the lady just decided she didn’t want to get anything after all and wouldn’t be buying anything in her carts. Her total after tax, before coupons, was $789.78. There were roughly 500 items listed on her receipt per diem, and her stuff wasn’t just in carts, she was also purchasing flats of sodas, big bags of dog food on rolling carts, flats of canned food.

And, the rule at my store is if a customer decides not to buy something at the register then the cashier has to put it all back before they can go home. I had been at work since 5am and I was scheduled to leave at noon and because I had to put everything back I didn’t get off work until about thirty minutes ago. She had taken three hours to shop, herself.

Anyway, when she said she wasn’t going to buy anything after all I had a visceral reaction and said to her, “are you fucking serious? I have to put all this back by myself.” I should add that she left the store in shambles. The customer started bitching, so did her group, my manager got in my face, I think the phrase “lazy brat” got thrown around.

Her parents think she was wrong, her coworkers have her back, but what do you think?

Reddit definitely has some thoughts below!

The customer might always be right, but was she even a customer?

Image Credit: Reddit

The woman definitely didn’t care about anyone but herself (and her bank account).

Image Credit: Reddit

Not to mention, she probably wasted a good amount of decent food.

Image Credit: Reddit

Some people didn’t agree there was anything wrong with what the woman was doing, but the computers at the store need to be upgraded (and OP will probably learn more finesse with age).

Image Credit: Reddit

And no, the customer is not always right.

Image Credit: Reddit

Whew. I do believe that a more experienced cashier probably would have handled things better, but this was a stressful and annoying situation.

The computers need to be updated or they need to stop offering coupons.

Is It a Good Idea to Tell Off Your Boss? An Employee Shared His Story.

We all walk a fine line sometimes between keeping our mouths shut to leave feathers unruffled and advocating for ourselves when we deserve to – and it can be hard to figure out which you should do when, especially when you’re young.

This kid is 19 and has been working for the same place since he was 16, mostly doing cleaning duties but also occasionally working in a cafe.

He’s been furloughed during the pandemic because the place has been closed, but since he’s unhappy at home, he’s taken a couple of other jobs to make sure he can stay out of their house.

So some background is needed here; I’m 19M and have worked at the leisure centre in my town since I was 16. It has a gym, a pool, a function room/hall and a café. Up until recently my job was cleaning the gym and hall and working in/cleaning the café, but obviously it’s been closed for a while and I’ve been on furlough.

Thing is my parents’ house is very toxic and it reached a point where I had to get out, which I couldn’t afford to do on furlough alone. I took on two new cleaning jobs to cover my living expenses.

Now his original place of employment is opening, his university is going back to in-person, and he’s realized that he can’t keep all of his previous hours along with the new ones and school.

He’s still returning to his employer who paid his furlough, but spoke to one manager about not wanting to work any hours in the cafe because he’s worried about balancing it all.

She said cool.

The leisure centre opened again last week, all apart from the café part, and I realised just how much I’d be juggling now between work and uni. Since the two new jobs pay significantly better than this one, but I can use all the extra hours I can squeeze in, I elected to stop working in the café when it reopens because I think those hours will tip it over into “too many” territory.

I told this to one of the two café managers and she said that’s fine.

There was a communication issue, though, and when he informed a second manager that his change in duties/hours had already been approved, the trouble began.

So, the issue; this morning the other café manager messaged me about reopening and stuff and asking if I’m okay to work the same hours I was before.

I replied saying: “Sorry I think there’s been some missed communication. I told [other manager] I won’t be working the café any more as I’ve got two other jobs now and it’s just too many hours”.

She was…not happy.

She was rude and he snapped back, telling her that she’s the boss and the one in charge of finding his replacement.

The comment set her off further, leaving OP worried that he might lose his job or cause more trouble than he really wants to deal with going forward.

She began complaining to me that the café is short staffed as is and they don’t have another cleaner on hand to do it. At one point in my life I’d have folded and said I’d do it but I’m trying to be better about advocating for myself so I said “I’m sorry about the inconvenience but I had my notice okayed and sorting a replacement isn’t my problem.”

She then got upset and called me rude and insolent and said she’s going to report me to the overall GM of the place for my conduct.

I’m really being to panic that I’m going to get into big trouble for this and if I could’ve handled this better?

AITA for what I said?

Reddit’s weighing in, and hopefully using kid gloves.

You know, with the kid.

Most people are siding with OP, because the manager needs to her job and not whine about it.

Image Credit: Reddit

And we’re applauding him for standing up for himself – that’s a hard hurdle to clear for many.

Image Credit: Reddit

Pats on the back all the way around.

Image Credit: Reddit

She’s probably not going to fire him. For reasons.

Image Credit: Reddit

This whole thing has been a learning experience for all of us.

Image Credit: Reddit

I’m so proud of this kid and I’ve never met him – if he needs a bonus mama, he knows where to go.

Was This Parent Wrong for Telling Son’s Friend the Truth About His Mom? People Responded.

To tell or not to tell, that is the question we’re going to ponder today…

Or, at least that was the question in this story from Reddit’s “Am I The A**hole?” page from a parent who had to dish out some truth to her son’s friend about his own mother.

Ouch…this one might be painful.

Let’s see what happened.

AITA for telling my son’s friend the truth about why his mom doesn’t want him playing with my son?

“My son and his friend are both in the second grade.

We moved into the area in the middle of covid and my son quickly made friends with a boy in the neighborhood. For the first couple months it was fine – they got along perfectly, I put the house in order, and was able to work from home so childcare wasn’t an issue.

The problem was when my husband got back from his deployment. He was the one to pick my son and his friend up from school that day (my son insisted, because he wanted to show off his other dad the marine.) My husband was also the one who answered the door when Friend’s mother arrived. She was perfectly cordial, and then left with Friend in tow.

The next Monday my son comes home looking forlorn, and when I ask him what’s wrong he tells me Friend’s mother doesn’t want Friend to play with my son anymore. I ask her what the issue is and she says that she “doesn’t want her son to get the idea that ‘our lifestyle’ is an acceptable one,” and that she “doesn’t want him to get confused with homos**ual ideology.”

Lo and behold, a couple days later Friend comes up to me and asks me why she doesn’t want him to play with my son, and I tell him “your mom doesn’t like the fact that me and Curtis’s [not real name] other dad are two men who are married and in love.” He asks why that is, and I say “because she;s prejudiced.”

Later that night I get an angry call from Friend’s mom demanding to know why I called her a bigot to her own son, why I’m “pushing my ideology” on him, telling me that I’m “an influence that will push [Friend] away from God,” etc.

She posts this long screed on the Parents of Generic Suburban Atlanta Elementary School Facebook group about how we should solve disputes among the parents and not drag the kids into it.

I replied on the group asking what I was supposed to do, lie to her son? She claims that by calling her prejudiced I was “disrespecting her religious beliefs,” and then went into this whole screed about her first amendment rights.

I told her not to make her prejudice my f**king problem, and sure as s**t don’t make it my son’s problem. Then the admin for the Facebook group took down the post because the other parents were piling on on both sides and it was getting heated.

AITA?”

Now check out how folks on Reddit reacted to this story.

A reader said that it’s pretty clear the woman is planting dangerous seeds in her kid’s head.

This Reddit user said that this particular mom might have a very rough road ahead of her because the younger generations just keep getting more tolerant than the ones before them and don’t stand for this kind of behavior.

Photo Credit: Reddit

And this person agreed!

And they said this woman won’t be able to shelter her son forever.

And lastly, this reader made a good point about people who believe that their kids are being indoctrinated at every turn.

False!

A Woman Asked if She’s Wrong For “Stealing” From Her Mother

And when we say “stealing”, we’re not talking about what you might be thinking of.

You’ll get all the details in a minute when you read this story from Reddit’s “Am I The A**hole?” page, but I’ll give you a little taste: it involves some major family drama. Like, a lot…

Read on to see what happened…

AITA for “stealing” my daughter from my mother?

“I (28F) gave birth to my daughter Alyssa when I was 17. My mom and I have always had a difficult relationship and not long after I gave birth, she kicked me out and I went to live with my aunt while she raised Alyssa.

I went to college in another state after, and though I’ve seen Alyssa some since then, my relationship with my mom prevented me from being there for her. Since I graduated, I’ve managed to start a pretty successful business and my fiancée and I are currently in the process of purchasing our first home. I’m ready to be a mom now, and I really want to support my daughter.

I had originally contacted my mother and told her that I was ready for Alyssa to come live with me, but she said no. Because of this, I’ve decided to file for full custody of her. I’m fairly well established financially, and my mother has had some trouble managing her money since Alyssa was born, so my lawyer is pretty confident that I’ll get at least primary custody.

When I told my mother about it, she was extremely upset and told me I was a complete a**hole for trying to take away her kid, and that I had never wanted to be around Alyssa before. This is just not true, I’ve visited over the years and tried to send my mother support, but she’s never wanted me there.

I told her that this wouldn’t be happening if she hadn’t tried to keep Alyssa away from me all these years. I’ve talked to my aunt and my older sister about this, and they both think that I should let my mother keep Alyssa. I truly think she’ll be better off with me.

AITA?”

Now it’s time to do what we always do…

Let’s see how folks responded to this story!

This reader called the woman out: she definitely thinks that she is an a**hole.

Photo Credit: Reddit

Another reader made a great point: how does the child feel about this?

Because this mom didn’t even bring that subject up.

Photo Credit: Reddit

This Reddit user said that the woman is acting in a very immature manner and that she’s definitely in the wrong in this situation.

Photo Credit: Reddit

Lastly, this person argued that now that she’s been able to enjoy some of her youth, she wants to waltz in and take credit for raising the child.

A**hole alert!

Should We Always Have to Let Family Stay When They Ask? A Woman Asks The Internet Their Thoughts.

Family decisions are tough and always full of potential pitfalls. There are expectations and guilt involved, and the fact that whatever you decide, you’re going to have to hear about it for the next twenty or so years.

Which is probably why this person is wondering whether or not she was wrong to refuse to let her sister and nieces/nephews move into her new house.

OP saved up for and bought a house for her single self and her two dogs, and she was so happy with her purchase. It was the perfect amount of space for her, but her entitled sister – who lives in a much smaller space with three children – thought she was being selfish.

Their mother got involved and said she thought OP was being mean for not inviting the sister and her kids to move in.

Yikes.

Image Credit: Twitter

OP refused, saying that she bought the house and wanted the space to herself, but did offer to help the sister rent a larger apartment with more space.

That’s when she found out that her mom and sister had intended for OP to move out and let the sister move in.

What.

Image Credit: Twitter

I have no idea what these people are thinking, but let’s hear what Reddit has to say while I sort it out, hmm?

It is kind of hilarious when you put it that way.

Image Credit: Twitter

To sum up.

Image Credit: Twitter

She definitely needs to leave her foot down.

Image Credit: Twitter

This sister just cannot be serious.

Image Credit: Twitter

A lot of people need to learn this lesson.

Image Credit: Twitter

Some of these are so NTA that it’s just laughable, y’all.

Go ahead and scream into the comments – that’s what we’re here for.,

Was This Woman Wrong for Refusing to Attend a Wedding as the Babysitter?

Weddings are often wrought with drama. Whether we don’t really like the couple, we don’t want to have to find a babysitter, we’re not sure what to wear or what gift to bring, or we’re not sure we can afford to attend at all, there are decisions to be made.

This woman felt like hers had essentially been made for her when she realized she was only being invited to babysit the children at the ceremony.

It’s kind of an odd situation, because she doesn’t know the bride and groom and is only tangentially connected to the wedding and wouldn’t normally have been invited – and was fine with that.

My (23F) friend’s sister-in-law is getting married in November.

My friend is helping to plan the wedding and has been sharing some of the details with me.

It has been previously understood that I would not be going to the wedding because I’m not a close friend of the bride or groom nor am I a relative.

This has never bothered me and I’ve just been excited to know that two people that love each other are getting married.

Then her friend, who is one of the wedding planners, said she might be invited as a nanny for some of the children whose parents would be attending, but OP wouldn’t be paid or anything.

Today, my friend texted me and told me that I might have to go to the wedding.

When I asked her why, she told me it would be to take care of the guests’ children.

I thought she was joking but then she insisted that she was serious.

I asked if I would at least get paid for taking care of kids that aren’t mine and that I barely know and she said that going to the wedding was enough pay.

Her instinct was to say no, because if she was going to attend she would want to enjoy it, and if they needed a babysitter they should be willing to pay – one can’t enjoy the benefits of being at a wedding and watch children, after all.

Personally, I find it a little disrespectful that I would be invited as a nanny and not as an actual guest that would get to enjoy the wedding as much as the other guests.

I’m not even interested in being invited but if they actually wanted me to go I would want to be a normal guest, not someone taking care of at least 3 kids under 10 years old that I don’t know how to handle.

However, I considered the fact that they might actually need someone to help out.

So, am I being dramatic and an AH or should I stand my ground?

That said, she’s wondering now if she was too rash, and asking Reddit to weigh in.

This person agreed that needing a babysitter is fine, but not wanting to pay one isn’t cool.

Image Credit: Reddit

Another wedding babysitter weighed in, and said it’s hard work and not enjoyable and she definitely needs to be paid.

Image Credit: Reddit

Most people agree that there’s nothing wrong with the request, but the way it was made makes them uncomfortable.

Image Credit: Reddit

And maybe OP needs to have a heart-to-heart with her “friend.”

Image Credit: Reddit

No is a complete answer.

Image Credit: Reddit

This is a totally weird situation, and I definitely think OP is right to shy away from doing it.

If she does give in, I have a feeling we’re going to have quite the update afterward.

Was a Wheelchair-Bound Student Wrong For Asking Their Teacher To Stop Pointing Out Her Disability?

For people who don’t have much firsthand experience being around or working with people with disabilities, there can definitely be a learning curve while figuring out the appropriate way to navigate the day-to-day.

How can we learn, though, if the people who are living their lives with disabilities feel as if it’s rude to speak up and correct us when we’re wrong?

Of course, not everyone is up for learning a better way, and perhaps that’s why this wheelchair-bound student felt like they might have been in the wrong after correcting a teacher who continually made comments about her wheelchair.

OP (Original Poster) is a wheelchair user and has had the same chair for 7 years. She’s currently saving up to buy a new chair, but in the meantime, she’s been made aware (often and repeatedly) by an English teacher that hers is beat up and makes a “distracting” noise in class.

I’m 18f, have a pretty messed up pair of legs, have had since birth, I can walk but am an ambulatory wheelchair user. I’m currently due an upgrade for my chair, I’ve had it close to 7 years and it’s a bit messed up. It’s gotten pretty uncomfortable and it makes noise but like I said, I’ve had it 7 years and I’ve grown rather attached to it. We’re saving to pay for the new one at the moment.

I have one teacher, my English teacher, who constantly makes comments about how banged up looking it is, and gets pretty pissed any time I dare move and it makes noise. She says it’s distracting. The comments about the appearance of the chair annoy me a lot because it’s hardly going to look brand new after 7 years of constant use.

OP lost her cool finally and told the teacher that if it bothered her so much, perhaps she’d like to pony up the dough for a new one.

The teacher seemed slightly chastised.

She made a comment this morning along the lines of “You know, you should really get a new one, that one looks like it’s about to collapse under you”.

I got really mad about this and I said, “You know what, if you think I should get a new chair so bad, you can pay the nearly 4 grand it’s gonna cost or you can stop making nasty comments about something that literally doesn’t affect you.”

A boy in her class, though, thought she didn’t need to be that rude – not everyone knows how these processes work, right?

She didn’t really look at me until the end of the class but the boy who sits besides me said it was slightly a**holish as she probably didn’t realize how difficult the process was.

AITA?

Reddit’s getting ready to weigh in on whether or not this young lady was in the wrong, so let’s see what they had to say!

They pointed out that a teacher commenting on a student’s lacking in any physical area really points to a lack of training and empathy in the first place.

Image Credit: Reddit

Most agreed the teacher was in the wrong, and needed to be educated.

Image Credit: Reddit

No one likes distracting noises, but it’s the adult’s job to realize what’s in a kid’s control and what is not.

Image Credit: Reddit

And in case you’re wondering, this is America. Of course her wheelchair is not covered by insurance.

Image Credit: Reddit

Some things need to be discussed in private.

Image Credit: Reddit

The girl could have been more tactful, but it sounds as if her frustrations were building up to a boiling point, and just finally exploded.

Given the imbalance of power in this relationship, it’s a no-brainer that the teacher, not the kid, is the a$$hole.

Guy Asks if He Was Wrong to Kick a Co-Worker Out of His Wife’s Baby Shower

This story is really strange…

I understand that we all spend a lot of time at work, but when people start calling themselves someone’s “work wife” or “work husband”, I can see how that would make some folks uncomfortable.

And a man took to Reddit’s “Am I The A**hole?” page to ask if he was wrong for the way he treated such a co-worker. Let’s see what happened.

AITA for kicking my coworker out of my wife’s baby shower?

“I (29m) work in a pretty tight workspace. We have about 9 of us in my department and it’s a pretty even split between men and women.

There’s one coworker “Eva”(20f) who started working here a few months back. She’s really good at her job and seems to get along with everyone. We get along well as we work on projects together and are usually in the group of people that are the last to leave most days. I learned some weeks ago that she was calling herself my “work wife”. I knew what the term meant, the sentiment wasn’t shared and I’ve expressed as much.

I don’t think I’ve been rude about it, I just let her know that I’d prefer for her to keep things a bit more professional. There’s no real harm in the term, but for someone who doesn’t understand the joke, it just looks and sounds wrong. I’m also a happily married man, and my coworkers including Eva know this.

I thought I had done a pretty good job nipping things in the bud after our conversation [I no longer heard the jokes from her] so I didn’t think it would be an issue to invite her to my wife’s baby shower. My coworkers are all vaccinated (our job helped us get them) and my wife WFH so there wasn’t much concern for the sickness that shall not be named.

Eva comes in and immediately starts back up with the jokes. “You’re OP’s home wife? Nice to meet you!”, “it’s so nice to see who takes care of my hubby when I send him home!” My wife is a very sweet and patient woman so she just laughed it off, albeit uncomfortably and moved on. However the jokes got worse and wouldn’t let up.

At one point Eva was telling people she would be our baby’s second mom. My wife’s friends and family were annoyed and my wife looked very uncomfortable. I had pretty much had it by then, and took her aside and told her that the jokes weren’t funny and that she could either apologize to my wife right now for being so inconsiderate and gross, or she could just leave. She chose to leave.

Word got around to our coworkers what happened and while they agree that she was acting inappropriately, that I should have let her down a little easier, as it was “obvious she likes you OP”.

Am I really the a**hole for kicking her out?

And here’s what folks on Reddit had to say about the man’s story.

This reader said that the man is not to blame and he needs to make sure human resources at his company knows all about this…just in case…

Photo Credit: Reddit

Another Reddit user said that anyone who “likes” a married co-worker and makes it known is pretty gross.

Photo Credit: Reddit

This person said that the other co-workers are also to blame for their behavior.

No, he shouldn’t be nice to her because of this!

Photo Credit: Reddit

And this Reddit user agreed that the other co-workers seem to be part of the problem.

Photo Credit: Reddit

Finally, this individual made a very good point: if a man acted like this toward a married woman at work, they would definitely be labelled as a creep.

Do you think this guy was out of line?

Or did he do the right thing?

Let us know in the comments! Thanks!
