A Person Was Told They Couldn’t Adjust Their Schedule to Go to the Prom so They Got Revenge

What kind of a boss would be such a jerk that they would try to ruin someone’s prom?

Well, I guess it goes without saying that there are a lot of jerks out there, and we’re about to meet yet another one.

Y’all ready for this?

Let’s take a look at what happened in this story that someone shared on Reddit.

Won’t adjust the schedule so I can attend prom?

“Back in my younger days, before most people had cell phones, I was working at a fast food restaurant during my senior year of high school.

The main reason I decided to work there was because one of my best friends worked there, and around the time I started working, our other best friend joined us. We were very close, and we spent our minimum wage earnings on stupid stuff.

This fast food restaurant was the King when it came to Burgers, so we had to learn how to prepare a Whopper of a hamburger in no time flat. We also had to learn how to manage the fried foods station, the registers, the drive thru, all specialty items, and all cleaning and end-of-day operations.

We were pretty sharp kids despite being stupid teenagers, and within a couple months we could run an entire shift by ourselves (normally there were at least four or five workers and a manager). We were regularly scheduled with just three of us and a manager to work all the night shifts, and we enjoyed working together and running the store.

We knew the manager was saving money on labor costs, which made the whole store look good when compared against other stores in the district, but we didn’t care. We worked hard, had fun together, and made a nearly criminally small wage for our efforts (at the time it seemed like we had made it big).

As it tends to do, prom season came around. We all went to the same school, so we all had prom on the same day. Compounding the issue, one of my friends was taking another worker as his date. Thinking it would help with scheduling, we notified our managers several weeks in advance.

We were all told “no.” We found that amusing, because of course we were going to go to our prom. Well, the company policy was that as long as you called before missing a shift, then you wouldn’t get in trouble for calling in with an emergency.

We timed our calls so that we would all call within a few minutes of each other. The poor manager on shift almost broke down crying, but we felt self-righteous as teenagers often do. I was the last to call, and the manager was full-on begging me to not call-out sick. We went off and enjoyed our prom.

The next day when we went in for our shifts, we found out the store had struggled in our absence. The manager had scrambled to get people to come in on their scheduled day off, incurring some overtime (to call overtime discouraged with that company would be an understatement).

Some of the managers glared at us, while some others gave us knowing grins. Within a week, we were only ever scheduled with two of us working together. I’m sure it ended up costing the company a lot, but it was also very clear that the management had gotten in trouble for not fixing the schedule when we informed them of our prom.

The story does have a happy ending– I met my wife while working there, and we’ve been together for over 20 years now.”

What a story! Now let’s see how folks responded on Reddit!

This reader said they had a similar experience but their boss backed down when they threatened to quit.

Another person said that their boss had the nerve to ask if their sister’s wedding could be rescheduled!

Yes, you read that right!

Another individual shared a story about someone getting fired over not being allowed to take time off for a wedding.

Finally, this Reddit user questioned why certain managers act like this.

If you’re this big of a jerk, you’re not gonna keep around good employees for very long!

Now we want to hear from all of you out there.

Have you ever had to deal with a boss like this before?

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

Wedding Guest Wonders If Being Honest About the Food Is Too Much

When it comes to weddings, most people go into the day realizing that it’s all about the bride and groom and what makes them happy. It’s literally one of the only times in your entire life that you get to choose everything you and your partner like – and sure, you hope that your guests will like it, too, but that’s really secondary, right?

Some guests, apparently, don’t realize that it’s not the day to complain.

Like this woman, for example, who has been dating the son of the bride for a couple of years before attending the small but elegantly planned second wedding ceremony and reception.

I’ve been with my BF “alex” for two years. I get along ok with his mom “Jane” sometimes she is a bit of a JustNoMIL. Anyway she got married recently and they wanted a smaller more laid back wedding, because she did the traditional wedding the first time. They got married at a vineyard and it was really nice.

The menu was dairy heavy, but sounded delicious – and you know. Some people love cheese!

For dinner there was fancy brick oven pizza and salad and later there was a mac and cheese bar. Dessert was caramel brownie cheesecake or berry cobblers (I hate cobbler) You probably caught on that there was a lot of cheese. There were also charcuterie boards, so a whole f**k ton of cheese.

OP ended up on the toilet and, to make matters worse, encountered the groom’s two daughters there talking crap about the bride and generally being awful and rude.

Don’t get me wrong, I like non-traditional weddings and the food was out of this world, but after dessert I was on the verge of shitting myself. I went to the bathroom, feeling like I was going to die, and it wasn’t pretty.

The grooms two daughter (late teens and early twenties) were in there. They are both horrible, they have talked so much shit about Jane, and are just mean girls.

When i came out they were both snickering and looking at me. I was mortified.

Instead of keeping the  bathroom incident (in it’s entirety) to herself, she decided to answer the bride’s polite “are you enjoying the wedding” question with a full accounting of what went down (in the toilet and with the daughters).

I ended up in there again, because holy heck that woman likes cheese.

Later I went over to where she was sitting with her new husband and Jane asked if I was having fun. i said it was beautiful, but admitted I’d been in agony because of her menu, and she really should have had some more balanced options, because a lot of people are dairy sensitive.

I then told the groom about what happened with his daughters. He just looked at me weird and then said it was his wedding night and he doesn’t want to hear an account of anyone sh%*ting.

Her boyfriend thinks she should have kept her troubles to herself because it was their wedding day and they wanted to have a nice time (obviously).

OP thinks she did them a favor by letting them known her complaints “for future parties.”

My BF got annoyed and said I should have just lied, because you don’t complain to the couple at the wedding, but I feel like she should know for future parties, and he should know so he can talk to his daughters.

Jane is on her honeymoon, so I don’t know if she is mad. She didn’t seem it, but a couple of y friends said I am the asshole and it isn’t Jane’s problem.

What does Reddit think of her behavior? They’re about to let it fly!

Short and sweet answer? Yes, you’re a jerk to bring that up on her wedding day.

Image Credit: Reddit

Unless you have an actual allergy, you can’t expect anyone at a large event not FOR YOU to care about your diet.

And even then, they’ll just provide an ingredient warning.

Image Credit: Reddit

She’s a guest, not a paying customer.

Image Credit: Reddit

Also, yeah…no one FORCED her to keep eating something that would upset her stomach.

Image Credit: Reddit

See? If you have an intolerance, you’ve got to look out for yourself.

Image Credit: Reddit

I definitely agree with Reddit on this one – you can’t go to a wedding expecting anyone to be thinking about you if you’re not the bride or the groom.

What say you? Was she out of line? Not? Share with us in the comments!

This Bride Had a List of “Wedding Rules” and Got Called Out For It

I don’t know when the word “Bridezilla” officially entered our lives, but I think we can all agree that it’s here to stay.

Heck, who am I kidding? Bridezillas have always existed! We just didn’t have a word for them back in the day!

And someone shared a bunch of screenshots from a bride-to-be that seemed to be…a little intense. Yeah, that’s a nice way of putting it.

First off, take a look at the rules for the wedding.

Yes, you read that correctly. There are rules to be followed, according to this gal.

Photo Credit: Facebook

As you can imagine, the rules were not exactly embraced by the guests of the wedding.

This is how some folks responded and you can see that there was a little back-and-forth with the bride here.

Photo Credit: Facebook

Then things got a little more heated up and the bride tried to put her future mother-in-law on blast in the message thread.

Photo Credit: Facebook

This person made a good point: maybe she needs to talk to the future MIL instead of forcing all the rules down the throats of the other guests.

And apparently, there was an incident at a Texas Roadhouse, FYI…

Photo Credit: Facebook

Also, remember that there will be NO RUSHING at this wedding!

Photo Credit: Facebook

And don’t forget about the nit-picking…

Photo Credit: Facebook

I think these are probably common sense, don’t you?

But Bridezilla was starting to get angry…

Photo Credit: Facebook

And then you can tell that Bridezilla got a little fired up and decided to lash out.

Ouch!

Photo Credit: Facebook

Oh, boy!

I bet that was a fun wedding to go to!

Have you ever had to deal with any Bridezillas before?

If so, please share your stories with us in the comments.

We’d love to hear from you!

Is This Guy Wrong For Not Helping His Daughter Pay for College? People Responded.

The age-old battle of who is going to pay for college is still going strong, folks!

And here’s yet another example…

A dad asked folks on Reddit if he is acting like an a**hole in regard to his daughter and her college plans.

Let’s take a look.

AITA For Refusing To Help My Daughter Pay For College?

“I (48m) have three children with my ex. My son “Joe” (24m) and two daughters “Jane” (21f) and “Amy” (19f).

After the children were born my great-grandmother started a small Education fund for each of them that I have now since controlled since her passing.

There weren’t any specific criteria for this fund within the context of the law or Bank policy because of the type of fund my great-grandmother started. I’ve added my own money to fund and my parents have occasionally put in some cash but it was never expected. My ex never put a dime into it but always wanted to have equal control of it and every time I refused she would get upset.

Over the years she’s tried to say that she needed money from the fund for expenses for the kids, citing that the child support I was paying wasn’t enough. I still refused and said that to just send me the bill and I’ll pay for it directly. She didn’t want that and would shut up after I asked how she could be so desperate for money for our kids but refuse to give any details.

Fast forward to when Joe was going to college and I told my son to just give me enough information so that I can pay the school every semester and he’d be good.

My ex tried to convince him to get me to give him all the money so that way he could have his privacy. My son did consider it but decided that he’d rather I just do this for him because he was worried of blowing through the money. I was proud of him.

Jane, however, gave into her mom’s way of thinking and insisted that I just give her the entire fund during her 2nd year. I tried to convince her that this way was best and pointed at how well this worked out for her brother.

Jane just called me controlling and said that I didn’t respect her enough to let her make her own choices. Eventually I relented but made it clear that this was all the money that there was for her for college. That once it’s gone, it’s gone and she was on her own if she needed more.

Everything seemed fine up until about a few weeks ago and Jane called crying saying that she wasn’t going to finish because she ran out of money. I asked her what happened and surprise, surprise Jane gave money to my ex. I let her vent and then told her that everything was going to be okay.

That while she may not graduate by a certain time she can still finish school, she’ll just need to apply for grants, scholarships, loans and maybe even take a year off to just work. How I would tell the school how she was on her own so she could get more money

Both Jane and my ex are upset with me, because they expect me to pay for her schooling and that I was being horrible for wanting her to struggle with loans. To me this isn’t about being petty but rather giving Jane a hard lesson.

She wanted to be treated like an adult, well finding your own way is what adults do. Joe agrees with me but, now Amy is being pressured to access her fund to help her sister. Technically, I could help but I’d rather Jane work for it herself.

AITA?”

And here’s how people on Reddit responded to this story.

One reader said that the dad is not in the wrong here and his daughter will learn a lesson from this situation.

Another Reddit user argued that the girl’s mom was really out of line here and they consider what she did to be “financial abuse.”

Photo Credit: Reddit

This individual thinks that the mom is also out of line and they called the dad in this story a “poor guy.”

Photo Credit: Reddit

This Reddit user said that the mom here is a total gold digger and is also manipulative.

I think you’re right on the money!

And lastly, this person disagreed with the other readers and said that the dad should not be “bribing” his daughter. Something to think about…

This Guy Won’t Leave His Child Alone With His Parents Anymore. Is He a Jerk?

It’s hard for me to comprehend not letting my kids (if I had any) spend as much time as possible with my parents.

But, as you know, every family is different and some grandparents tend to cross the line on occasion.

And this young man is fired up at his mom and dad because they did something with his daughter without his permission.

Let’s see what happened…

AITA for not wanting our daughter left alone with my parents anymore after they did something w/o permission?

“Me and my fiancee (22m & 23f) had our baby girl Thalia and she just turned 9 months old.

Everyone in our family has been coming around more to see her. Two months ago we stopped talking to my parents after they pulled some s**t. We basically decided it was gonna be up to Thalia when she older if she wants to get her ears pierced.

Tbh I was never into the idea of it being done as a baby when they can’t consent, like my fiancée parents pierced her ears when she was a baby and she always hated wearing earrings. Still doesn’t wear any.

Just like every other parent that was our decision not to do it to her while she’s a baby. My parents didn’t shut up about it for a while saying “she’d look so cute.” But we told them already no and that’s our answer.

When they babysat for us once they got one of my mom’s friends to do it and we were f**king pi**ed they went behind our backs. We stopped talking to them after that for disrespecting our decision. Everyone was saying we were making a big deal and we can’t cut them out their granddaughters life over something like that.

So we decided they’re allowed to only see Thalia when one of us is around and they won’t be left alone with her. That’s where everyone is still saying we’re being massive a-holes because we’re still punishing them over something that’s not a big deal and we’re treating them like children.

Even my fiancées parents think that only letting them have supervised visits is too much and they should be allowed to babysit or have Thalia at their place alone like before. We’re still not wanting to change our minds on our conditions so it’s pinning everyone against us.

Are we being a**holes that we just don’t trust them alone with her and rather one of us be there always?”

Wow…now let’s check out how people responded on Reddit.

This reader said that the man is not acting like an a**hole and they also said they could relate to parents doing something like this.

Photo Credit: Reddit

Another person said that the person who pierced their daughter’s ears went above and beyond. And that’s the way it should be!

Photo Credit: Reddit

This individual argued that the man’s parents deliberately went against his wishes so he has a right to be angry with them.

Photo Credit: Reddit

And this Reddit user went so far as to call these actions “assault on a minor.”

That’s an interesting take…

Now it’s your turn to weigh in.

This Person Got Into an Argument With a Mother Whose Child Went Missing. Were They Wrong?

If you ever give someone parenting advice, you know there’s gonna be some conflict.

And I get it! Because no one wants to be told that they’re doing a bad job being a mom or a dad.

This person shared a story about some harsh words they had for a mother and now they want to know if they acted like an a**hole.

Check it out.

AITA for getting harsh with a mother whose child had gone missing?

“Got home from work last night, threw some food on and went to take my dog out.

Its somewhere between 7pm-8pm (not yet dark but will be in about an hour). While I’m standing out there I see this kid walking by barefoot, completely sobbing and calling out the name “Susan” over and over. He couldn’t have been more than 8 years old.

Instantly I’m worried and go over and ask him if he’s okay, if he’s lost or trying to find someone (I live in an apartment complex). This kid then breaks my heart. Between desperate sobs he tells me his two year old sister Susan is missing.

That he didn’t mean it, they were playing on the stairs and he had thought his mom was watching her when he went over to say hi to a friend that was walking by. Apparently she wasnt and his sister had wandered off.

I spring into action right away and tell this poor to let’s go find her. I ask if anyone has called the authorities or if he wants me to make a phone call for some help. The kid looks scared and says no, his mom is also looking. It was almost like he was afraid to get in trouble. So I spend the next hour with this kid looking high and low for his sister.

It starts getting dark so I tell the boy I should take him home and his mom needs to call the proper authorities if she hasn’t, but her 8 year old son should not be wandering around alone in the dark. We dont want people hunting for 2 missing kids.

So as were heading back to his apartment and he’s still sobbing and calling her name, this guy sitting out on his patio goes “Oh, if you’re still looking for that girl, they found almost an hour ago. She’s home safe.”

While there was relief, there was also fury in me. This mother had left her 8 year old son wandering around alone is desperation for the last hour. Almost the whole time I was with him, so I know there was no attempt to find him.

I get him to his apartment and knock and the mother answers the door. She goes “Oh there you are Joey. I was waiting for you to come back. Susan is fine, no need to worry. It was just a mistake. I know you wont make it again.” The boy is still sobbing.

Unable to help myself I look straight at the lady and say (in front of the boy). “Its a mistake you wont make again. This was your fault, not his. You didn’t even bother to come find him while he was out there trying to clean up your mess and your lucky you didn’t end up with two missing kids. I’m glad your daughter is home and safe, and now your son as well.”

Of course she’s start yelling at me, telling me I’m q horrible person to say that, and in front of her child and that I have no idea how scary and stressful it is to loose a child and that I have no idea what she went through after her son had told her Susan was missing. I just shrugged and said “It was a bad mistake, dont worry, I’m sure it wont happen again.” And walked off.

I feel like i might have been to harsh on a woman that obviously had a rough night and put her down in front of her child. I was just so angry at what she put that boy through.

AITA?”

And here’s what people had to say about it.

This reader said that this person was not an a**hole at all and that the mom in question acted inappropriately.

Photo Credit: Reddit

Another Reddit user said that young kids should not have this kind of responsibility and this is actually dangerous.

Photo Credit: Reddit

Another person argued that the mom’s expectations from this young boy were way over the top.

Photo Credit: Reddit

This individual said that young kids don’t have the wherewithal to be taking care of another child…especially one that young.

Photo Credit: Reddit

And lastly, another person said that the individual who wrote the post shouldn’t hesitate to call Child Protective Services in the future.

This Husband Set the Record Straight Because His Wife Complains About Their Finances. Was He Wrong?

This certainly is a weird story…

I guess every person thinks about their finances differently and some also like to portray a certain image about their money to the outside world.

Check out this story from Reddit’s “Am I The A**hole?” and stick around to see how readers reacted.

Start now!

AITA for revealing our net worth when my wife constantly says we are broke and making me look bad with money?

“I (31M) have been with my wife (30F) for 10 years now and she always has had this habit of making me look bad with our finances.

Whenever anything regarding spending money comes up she will always say how broke we are and she doesn’t have the money to do this or buy that. The thing is we are doing well financially. We have decent jobs and combine our salary is roughly $125k/yr.

As of today our net worth is more than $1 million but less than 2. I had saved/invested a lot before getting married so I gave us a good head start. I control the finances/take the lead but we both agreed to living a very modest life. We both have our cars from college for example (Honda & Toyota). She knows everything about our finances because at least once a month I go over it with her every time I deposit money in our investment accounts or our kids college funds.

For banking we have an emergency fund and I budget everything else to go straight into investments. We basically stay right at $10k in our banks savings account and $500 in our checking account after bills. EDIT: Most of the time there is more than $500 in our checkings but once I pay our CC each month I then move anything extra. We always use the CC so its not like we only have $500 to spend. Our CC limit is $25,000.

A few months ago we had dinner with her friends and they talked buying a new car. My wife said something like, ‘I wish I could get a new car but I’m always broke after paying the bills. We still have our college cars!’ (EDIT: Wife does not want a new car). She will go on to talk about if she had money what she would want to buy and it always makes me feel ashamed.

This ‘I’m broke story’ has been happening for years. When we were driving home I asked her about. She understood we have the money but its how she feels because her bank account is always low. I said I can increase our budget or keep more money in our bank if she wants. Since we are doing well I’m okay with spending more. She said no and again was happy with our finances. I explained that when she says we are broke it makes me look bad and I feel ashamed. Its as though I can’t provide for the family and/or I am bad with money. She doesn’t see it that way.

The same conversation has come up numerous times about us being broke. Recently, I reminded her numerous tikes it makes me feel and look bad infront of friends and family. I told her if she keeps saying stuff like that I will reveal that we are doing well with money. I gave her a few reminders I’d eventually do this but she kept going with the I’m broke story.

At a dinner with her sister and parents the same I’m broke story came up. I piped in and said, ‘It’s weird to hear a millionaire say they are broke.’ My wife said, ‘Haha, I’m not though.’ And I quickly say, ‘We are millionaires and you know that. We go over our finances every month.’ Well the I’m broke story stopped after that and the night went on as usual. A little later the same thing happens with her friends and I use the same line.

Now my wife is mad at me for using that line and revealing roughly how much money we have. She said it seems like I’m gloating. I say its better than making me look like I’m running us into the ground fincially.

So AITA for revealing our net worth when my wife says we are broke?”

Well, that was interesting…

Let’s see how Reddit users responded to this story.

A person said they think the wife behaving this way without being prompted is pretty strange.

Photo Credit: Reddit

Another reader said they think everyone sucks in this situation. Read on to see what exactly what they think.

Photo Credit: Reddit

This Reddit user said it’s just odd that someone with this much wealth and assets is complaining about being “broke.”

Photo Credit: Reddit

And this person said that it’s a good thing the husband called his wife out on it because it’s offensive to people who are actually struggling with finances.

Now we want to hear from you.

Was This Guy Wrong for Blocking in the Person Who Kept Stealing His Parking Space? People Responded.

Parking wars can sometimes get a little out of control, no doubt about it.

Someone steals your spot, then you block THAT person in, and suddenly it turns into a whole thing…

Check out this story of a parking battle gone awry from Reddit’s “Am I The A**hole?” page and keep on reading to see how readers reacted.

AITA for blocking someone in after they took my parking space again?

“In our apartment we’re only given one specific parking space.

It’s been a challenge since both my wife and I have separate cars and finding parking on the street can be a mission sometimes. Usually whichever one of us gets home first parks their car on the street so that the other can park inside since evening is when it gets full.

For the past couple of months our landlady’s girlfriend has been coming over and keeps using our parking space. And only ours for some reason. Several times we’ve had to come knocking at our landlady’s door to move her girlfriend’s car and she’d apologize to us.

The girlfriend always acts like she’s doing us this huge favor when we ask her to move. We both have talked about this problem to our landlady and she promises it won’t happen again. Last Friday my wife was out of town for the weekend. I came home around 10 pm. I was exhausted, just finished working a 12 hr shift and wanted to get home. Guess who was parked in our d**n spot again? It was late so cars were already parked all over the street.

This time I said f**k it and parked right behind her. I didn’t have the energy to go knocking at her door and wait for her to move her car, sometimes they don’t even answer. I wouldn’t be blocking anyone else, just her from being able to pull out. Then I went to bed. Well the following morning when I stepped out to water my grass her girlfriend came at me for making her miss her shift at work.

She said she was knocking on my door for a long time before because she needed to leave and couldn’t. Called me immature and petty when I simply could’ve gone to her to move her car. I reminded her she shouldn’t be parking there in the first place and she left mad.

My landlady again apologized and promised to make sure her girlfriend didn’t do that again, but now she’s not talking to my wife and they’re usually friendly with eachother. My wife’s not happy with me that I did that. Instead of creating conflict I could’ve tried to find parking in the street or asked them to move like I usually do.

But this time I got fed up and don’t have the energy for it.

Was I an a**hole?”

How did folks respond…? Let’s take a look!

This reader argued that the landlady doesn’t care about this person’s parking spot. AT ALL.

This Woman Won’t Have Anything to Do With Her Grandparents. Is She Wrong?

Family squabbles can sure turn ugly in a hurry.

We all do our best to avoid these kinds of situations, but sometimes things just spiral out of control.

And a teenage girl decided to share a painful story on the “Am I The A**hole?” page on Reddit and she wants to know if she’s out of line.

Take a look.

AITA For Pretending To Not Know My Grandparents?

“Just for background information, when I (19f) was 4 years old my dad d**d. At his funeral his parents told me, my mom (28yo at the time) and my sister (6yo at the time) that we are the reasons he d**d.

They also kept his life insurance money, that was supposed to go to my sister and I.

Since then, my grandparents have refused contact with all three of us and the only form of contact I have with them is them sending me and my sister a $50 gift card to Walmart twice a year (birthday’s and Christmas). The last time I received a gift card from them was on my 10th birthday and it was for Baby’sRUs. I haven’t heard from them since.

They live in Florida and I live in New York so I have no chance of seeing them either, at least I thought.

Flash forward to present day, 3 days ago now, I was in Walmart near my house to get a few things for my mom. When I walked past the pharmacy I saw my dads parents. I tried to hide in the isles because I didn’t want confrontation, but they saw me anyway.

They started asking me a bunch of questions about my families financial situations and college and if I’m married yet, stuff like that. I responded by saying “I have no idea who you are.” They looked angry and shocked by this but told me who they were and after that I told them I had no desire to talk to them and I didn’t have anything to say to them anyway.

I started walking away and was just going to leave it alone, but then they said “you’re so disrespectful. we are your grandparents and you need to treat us better than that. your mom did a terrible job with you.” After that comment I turned around and went off on them.

I said something along the lines of “you are not my grandparents because you abandoned my sister and I after telling us we are the reasons for our dads d**th and you stole his money from us. Don’t you dare talk about my mother either because she did an amazing job with us without any help from you two. I’d be happy with never seeing your sorry faces again.” I started to walk away again and heard my grandmother start to cry, but I kept walking.

AITA? The are technically my grandparents, but they did so many things that are unforgivable.”

Now it’s time to check out how people responded to this post.

This reader said that the grandparents deserve this kind of treatment and that they’re pretty much strangers to this young woman.

Another person said that it sounds like the grandparents are asking her about money because they might be in financial trouble.

I think they might be on to something…

This individual pointed out the obvious: if the grandparents were so concerned, why haven’t they been in her life before?

Finally, this Reddit user said that the grandparents should have expected this treatment because of the way they’ve acted in the past.
