'You probably learned how to use chopsticks by eating his wife’s leftovers': Entitled cousin gets put in her place while out for sushi

Encountering entitled strangers is already a frustrating situation, but when it's your own family member being the mean entitled one then it's a whole other ballgame. You'd think your family is supposed to support you and encourage you to learn new things and better yourself. But sometimes family members can be jealous, egotistical, mean, and entitled. Sorry you're just trying to live your life and you crossed their path! It's easier to put a stranger in their place, but your own flesh and blo0…

'Get a private flight next time': Plane passenger stands up for new mom being scolded by a Karen

As if flying wasn't stressful enough, imagine bringing a tiny baby along with you. If you're a new parent, chances are you're sleep deprived and spending 24/7 keeping your baby fed and cared for. Now add in the logistics of flying — getting your passport, arriving on time for your flight, getting through security — all with your little one in tow. Most of us would see a new parent with their baby and feel sympathetic towards them, since we can tell it's no easy feat. But this woman on a flight…

'[Am I wrong] for telling my husband the nanny is in charge?': Husband objects to wife telling him to defer to the nanny's judgement for their children

It's understandable to be upset about being told how to take care of your own children, but if you're not spending the time with them to develop the best processes and are paying someone to do so—you'd better put your ego aside, let them do their job, and listen to them. That's what this online community agreed on when the topic was shared on Reddit's r/AmItheA**hole subreddit. They decisively voted that this wife was not in the wrong for telling her work-focused husband to defer to the nanny's…

'The mom went off on me': Parents change baby's diaper at their seats on the plane, passenger asks them to stop, flight crew intervenes

There are a few grey areas when it comes to appropriate behavior on a flight, but this is way too far. This couple was sitting near the bathrooms, where it was confirmed that there was a changing table. Instead, however, they decided it was totally acceptable to change their baby's stink diaper right there at the seats in a row they were sharing with a total stranger. This thread was posted to Reddit's r/AmITheA**hole subreddit, and you can just imagine how the ruthless judges of the AITA commu…

'The manager was livid': Guy takes advantage of prime rib pricing blunder, manager tells him he has cost someone their job

Look. If you had one shot—or one opportunity—to seize everything you ever wanted in one moment. Would you capture it? Or just let it slip? This guy certainly did not miss his chance to blow when he stumbled on the succulent opportunity of a lifetime: a goldmine of prime rib priced down to absurdly low figures. If it weren't for the fact that he intended to (supposedly) cook this meat for a Veterans' charity, I'd probably have to say that he is the AH here. Having worked retail in a previous lif…

'I have no interest [in] this baby': Guy makes up 'work emergency' lie to get out of a baby shower

At least this guy was honest, right? In a post to r/AmItheA**hole that I'm sure the OP regrets by now, this dude asked if he was wrong for the way he avoided going to a party . As u/Waste_Studio_2716 shared, he and his fiancée have been dating for two years, and he believes their relationship is going great. He doesn't know her family too well, since the OP and his fiancée are a five hour drive away from them. That could have changed when the couple was invited to a baby shower for the fiancée'…

'The customer decides when they are...ready to leave': Friend group splits over golfing etiquette

Mini golfing is so superior to regular golf. In this essay I will… I'm so serious: mini golf is clearly the better game. Regular golf requires one to have some golfing skills already, since you have to hit the ball many yards away. You walk around a course filled with grass, sand, maybe a few lakes or whatever. Nature? Wow, how interesting. Mini golf on the other hand, requires no prior golfing skills. All you have to do is putt along the course , while enjoying windmills, rolling hills, and us…

'My partner hasn't done a load of laundry in ten years': Wife takes vacation away from family, husband doesn't know what to do with himself

It's remarkable yet unsurprising how dependent this guy is on his wife. For one, they've been together for 12 years and he's fully 37 years old. In other words, he should be able to do a load of laundry, sweep and clean their home, and take care of the kids by himself for a few nights… especially because that's precisely what his wife has been doing every day since they've been parents. She shared this thread via Reddit's r/AmITheA**hole subreddit. He works in IT and gets exhausted from his ful…

'I'm moving out': Woman demands 50% rent payment from roommate despite setting her bed up in living room, roommate moves out

When signing a lease for an apartment, it seems a reasonable ask and a fundamental part of the contract to receive an actual room with a door for basic privacy reasons. Apparently, this is not always the case, and some people settle for living conditions that you wouldn't wish upon your Karen coworker. OP convinced her friend to come live with her in a 'cheap' apartment and to pay 50% of the rent, despite giving her friend a bed in the living room. OP said that a divider was a good enough means…

'I got my neighbor evicted': Grad student snitches on his noisy neighbor to the HOA, getting him evicted as revenge for ruining his peace

Nobody likes an unreasonably noisy neighbor. Renters with thin walls and even thinner patience have struggled for millennia against inconsiderate neighbors and there's a point that they start to think that the neighborhood is simply improved with the surgical removal of disruptive folks. One grad student spent one too many sleepless nights with rage in his heart that he finally took (semi unethical) action against his neighbor...

This boss is really stretching the definition of what it means to be a salaried employee. Salaried work can be wonderful or a strain on your work life , depending on the company you work for and your managers. For some workers, they're able to put in two hours of work per day and still get paid for the entire eight. But for the majority of salaried workers , it means you're going to work 40+ hours a week. If you have a project due at the end of the day, and you're not finished by 5PM, your boss…

Being estranged from a family member can be tough, but if they're the toxic, narcissist type, for some folks, being away from their family is actually a huge relief. Distancing yourself from that sort of dynamic is the best thing to do, but when rotten family members come out of the woodwork in order to get something from you, it smells like trouble from a mile away.
