'She's deluded': Husband rudely refuses to leave the family boot dryer at home, turns out she was trying to surprise him with a new one

My major revelation from this thread is the fact that a “boot dryer” exists. I mean, it makes complete sense, but for some reason, I have never conceptualized its existence—and this is coming from a guy who wears boots and occasionally has wet boots… I could have used one of these years ago. But my ignorance regarding boot dryers is not the issue at hand here; rather, it's this family's disagreement regarding the priority of usage of theirs. This husband stood his ground when his wife began ins…

Update: 'All three of them ran straight into the pool': Uncle gets even with nieces and nephews, their parents charge him for broken phones, revealing financial woes

Who knew that a simple prank gone wrong would ignite a long-lasting family feud? Let's be real: the most annoying kind of child is the kid who likes to pull pranks. The original poster of this epic Reddit saga, which was initially shared on the r/AmITheA**hole subreddit, knew that his nieces and nephews all fell into that category. Perhaps because he didn't have children himself, he could see these kids for who they really are. In this scenario, at a family gathering, the kids banded together a…

'[They] loved the bacon [flavored] popcorn until someone told them what it was': Couple feeds their vegan friends meat flavored snacks, wonders if they're wrong

Vegans are fun to joke about, and all, after all, there's something about a group of people that takes themselves so seriously without an ounce of levity or ability to joke about the subject that lends that same group of people to be a prime target for humor. Heck, there's a reason why community discussions about vegans and jokes about vegans are everywhere on the internet. That being said, if you know that your friends have something that they're humorless about, it's hard to be surprised when…

'She thought we'd ‘rekindle' things': Bride invites her sister's ex-boyfriend to the wedding, attempting to get them back together; sister stands up for herself and refuses to attend

Sisterly loyalties only go so far, and when one woman's sister, the bride, thought she'd play god with her own sibling's relationship, things backfired. Frankly, weddings bring out the cringe in all of us. Whether you're a sorry sap that cries during the vows (guilty as charged), the distant aunt who reminds the bride that they used to change their diapers, or you're the guest that drinks too much at the open bar, there's some social mixing that brings out the worst in everyone.

Sometimes, it doesn't take a whole lot of effort to do something for a stranger, and when that something is moving your mass a few feet in either direction to allow someone else to share access to something that everyone there specifically came to see… you're socially expected to do so. No one owns a public space or viewpoint of desirable scenery—that's kind of the point—and while they don't have an expressed claim to that location at that given time, neither do you have the right to block it f…
