'I got my books back': Book-thief friend gets fired, demands compensation

Some might say that it's insane to demand your friend pay you reparations for getting you fired from your job after you stole from them… and that's because they're right. It is insane to think that anyone owes you anything resulting from the consequences of your own actions. This woman posted on Reddit's r/AmItheA**hole subreddit, wondering whether or not she was in the wrong for getting her friend fired, who she suspected was stealing from her. This friend had come over to a gathering at her h…

'Penelope hasn’t answered my calls': Daughter refuses to speak to mother after theater faux pas spoils the show

This mom is taking family participation a bit too far. This woman wrote to r/AmItheA**hole to share her story and ask for people's opinions , but she's definitely not going to like the answers she's receiving in the comments. As the OP, u/Thick-Studio-4277, shared in her post, her daughter Penelope is 12 years old, and she has a spring show that she was performing in. The OP didn't really take this show seriously, which is a big mistake on her part! Preteens take things like that very seriously…

'Cancel their tickets. Immediately.': Family of choosing beggars jeopardize their travel plans with demands for nicer hotel rooms

This person is trying to share their amazing vacation plans , but their family is acting utterly bizarre about it. Vacationing is a real privilege. Lots of people never travel further than a few states away due to financial constraints or workplaces not giving much vacation time. So if you do get the chance to travel — and travel by plane to a pricey amusement park , in this case — you'd be crazy to turn down the opportunity! In the story they told to r/AmItheA**hole, u/Safe_Ad_6111 has some in…

‘She thinks she is fixing stuff’: Sister-in-law’s unsanctioned sauce seasoning causes major family schism

For those of us who love some zest and spice, it’s always difficult eating at that relative or friend’s place who refuses to add even a grain of salt or dust of pepper to their meals. These people have clearly never used their tastebuds before, and it shows. Still, it’s worth acknowledging that this is a rather pretentious thing to think; you should always just be grateful that someone cares enough to cook you a meal at all. Cooking is an investment of time, and—unlike some ingredients—time doe…

Couple removes MIL from their house after she ruins a suitcase

'My MIL stood horrified in the middle of our living room': Couple kicks MIL from their house after she ruins a suitcase

Unpacking after a trip is something you either do as soon as you get home, or three weeks later, and those are the only options. Sometimes, you get back from a trip and put the entire suitcase away ASAP so that you can chill out and unwind after the journey. Other times, you've had so much fun that you're too tired to put away your luggage, and you just ignore it for a while until you gather the strength to put your stuff away . Anyway, this person's MIL is in that first category of people. She…

'I could still cancel their reservations": Choosing beggar in-laws complain about an all expenses paid trip to Disney

Never look a gift horse in the mouth—and never gift a look mouth in the horse. That doesn't make sense you say? Well, I feel like it makes about as much sense as the original. Horses and mouthes aside, it's never a good idea to make an issue about something someone is giving you for free. For one thing, it's free and there's nothing better than free stuff. Even if someone gives you a nest of angry bees at least you can make honey. If you're allergic to bees, at least you've gained the knowledge…

'I was horrified… [I told] people not to eat the food at my sister's wedding': Mom freezes food from youngest daughter's wedding to serve at oldest daughter's wedding 8 months later

Nothing causes a wedding fail more than bad food. It's like a cruise, if the food is bad, it is going to make everyone sick. Is that what you want at your wedding? For everyone to be throwing up during the toasts? We didn't think so! However, something that seems to be a common thread between boomer parents and their kids is when food is inedible. Boomers have lived through some hard times, so their view on food going bad is a little more loosey goosey than millennials and Gen Z. They will free…

'My cowokers... [are] gossiping about me and how I "overreacted"': Restaurant owner instructs servers to give up their tips to save his establishment

This restaurant owner broke a cardinal rule of waiting tables, and it's wild that so many of his employees actually went along with his plan. It's a hallmark of American life that waiters and waitresses work mainly for tips. Over the years, tip prices keep rising higher as minimum wages have stagnated, and that has started frequent debates over tipping culture. In a story shared to r/AmItheA**hole, this desperate restaurant owner found a way to put some more cash in his own pocket. He shared th…
