You can definitely be friends with your boss , but when he starts asking for free labor, that's where this employee had to draw the line. This woman writes about her former boss as if he's a great guy, but he sounds like a major pain! U/ShirtSeparate3578 wrote to r/AmItheA**hole about an ongoing issue she's having with her former boss. As she tells it, she was at this job for a decade before leaving — she had to depart since her boss denied her a raise . But she stayed in contact with her boss,…

You have not lived until you've heard a parent telling their two-year-old named Atticus not to eat a handful of dirt. These days, you'll hear a wide variety of names on the playground, many of which are older names coming back into style again. “That's enough time on the iPad, Henrietta!" or “Ethel! We don't grab people's hair!” are common to hear with today's youngsters. Other people have been super into naming their kids after objects, like Forrest. That's a pretty name, but the problem for F…

It stands to reason that if you lose or break something that isn't yours, you should have to replace it… There aren't many situations where this wouldn't be the case. And, yet, so many people have some sort of excuse or justification for why it's ok that they don't do so. This Redditor (OP) shared their story to Reddit's r/AmItheA**hole subreddit, telling how their nephew lost their $2000 scooter while their sister's family stayed at their house. The nephew had constantly been asking to ride it…

Ever tried spooking your significant other this way? We highly recommend it TBH because these responses are wildly entertaining, to say the least. You know, that kind of entertaining where there’s clearly some drama and/or problems within the relationship, but it’s nothing but fun for you to witness because you’re not in the relationship yourself and you don’t know either of the people in the relationship either. You’re just there for the ride. If you’re just looking to get a humorous and genui…

Kids go through phases of being little menaces. Sometimes that 'phase' extends into their entire lifetime, bit it's pretty much guaranteed when they're under 10 years old. By the time they're in 2nd or 3rd grade, they think they have the world figured out. They don't need mom and dad telling them what to do anymore and they become indignant, stubborn, picky babies once again.

Having kids is hard, but these parents show off their superparent skills with these epic parent saves.

Here’s a good rule of thumb in life: don’t surprise your long-lost sibling at her place of work.

Some friend groups last forever, others dissolve over time, and some, like this one, break up in a dramatic fashion . You make friends in high school or college, and over time, you might find that you have less and less in common. The classes you bonded over in college aren't there to tie your friendship together after you graduate, and life circumstances mean that someone you were once close with might have entirely different priorities now. It's one of those awkward parts of life that have to…

Texting is a must in these modern times — it's how basically everyone, from teens to the elderly, communicates with each other. That's probably why it's so funny when there are miscommunications over text. It happens a lot! And these fine folks posted their funniest texts online so that we can all share in the hilarity. One form of trolling that's pretty innocent and silly is people who get messages from wrong numbers and just run with it. They pretend to be the person the text was intended for…

The best part about being a child is playing imaginary games with your friends, parents, or siblings. One day you're a riotous pirate, the next day you're a princess in a tower, and the day after that, you can be a mermaid on a beach. With your imagination, you can go anywhere and be anything.

A botched pizza order fueled this parent to write to r/TalesFromTheCustomer to share her story — and figure out what to do. U/momnation was just trying to throw a nice birthday party for her son . She preordered what should have been some easy food — pizza. It's a great party food; everybody loves it and ordering it is supposed to be super fast and painless. However, when the OP sent her husband to pick up the order for five pizzas, the pizza joint had some bewildering news to tell him. They di…

There are certainly "do's" and "don'ts" when it comes to meeting your significant other's parents for the first time!

This angry mother was totally fine with giving her grown up son an earful in front of all his friends. And after reading her r/AmItheA**hole post about the incident, we totally understand why she'd be so frustrated at her son. U/Classic-Goose-8228 shared this story to determine if she was poking her head into business that wasn't her place to be involved with. She writes that she has a son and daughter in law in their 30s, with three kids under 5. Her DIL seems to work tirelessly to care for th…

Look at me… I am the homeowner now. When someone is caught in a lie, it's always surprising to see how far they will take it. You might expect the liar to give it up, admit defeat—and admit to their deceit. And yet, most liars have been lying for so long that they don't know how to turn it off. They'll continue building up the fabrication—even after their lie has been substantially disproven. Reddit user u/Top-Studio8028 posted this thread to Reddit's r/entitledparents, sharing a story that he…

This bowler struck out when they found their lane swarmed with little kids . As the OP tells it, she was trying to figure out if she was the a**hole in this scenario, because her friends think she is. The OP writes that while she was bowling with some friends on a weekend, she was in a lane near lots of kids. The weekends definitely are a time for parties, but the OP was annoyed that the kids kept going into her lane. Aside from the safety issues, the kids' parents wouldn't lift a finger to hel…

Dude, no one asked you to mow my lawn!
