'I thought he was joking': 30-year-old man demands to pick his friend's wife up from the gym instead of getting his girlfriend from the airport, internet insists he's cheating

This traveler is coming to the realization that her relationship with her BF might not be on the up and up. Sometimes it takes a particularly honest person to set you on the right path. It can be a close friend, a parent, or a therapist. But for some people the moment they see the truth can be through a ton of strangers on the internet all telling you what's right in front of your eyes. Next, this person is “charging my 16-year-old nephew rent” by taking 10% of his salary, which quickly ignited…

Neighbors accuse resident of stealing after she throws away their packages that were delivered to her house, resident gets warned about being scammed: ‘They guilt you into paying them off’

It is funny how nothing stops you from having packages delivered to any random house, as long as you know the address. There is little to no reason to do so, but if one wants, they can send anyone anything with only a few clicks on their phones. Apparently, some people have packages delivered to other people's houses as a form of scam—they send the packages to another house, wait a few days, arrive to claim those packages, and then, if the person who received them already threw them out, they a…

'My partner has just plowed through something that I purchased in 24 hours': Couple has intense argument after boyfriend uses the whole salad dressing bottle

Most people in relationships will tell you that the biggest arguments can stem from the most unexpected, seemingly harmless things. However, as the Redditor who shared this post mentioned, it's not really about the minutiae; it's about the bigger picture. In this instance, the bigger picture here is the fact that the original poster (OP) is the breadwinner and the person who foots the grocery bill 99% of the time, and yet, her very simple requests have not been respected. Essentially, OP purcha…

Entitled sister expects uncle to take time off work to watch her collection of 3 children aged 10, 7 and 5-years-old: 'I told her no, I wasn’t available'

Making adjustments to your schedule and going out of your way to accommodate and do favors for others only to have them cancel on you at the last minute or throw it back in your face is going to make you like not to do it again. Really, no one can blame you for that—well, except that same disgruntled and entitled friend or family member who is coming back around looking for another favor and expecting you to drop everything at a moment's notice for them again. Sure, it's great for parents to ha…

'[I let] my kids loot my brother's house to prove my point': 8-year-old steals his cousins toys, teenage cousins ransack the kid's house in return

This uncle is wondering if he taught his child and nephew the right lessons. After all, teaching your child right from wrong is an ongoing lesson throughout their life. The ways that most kids learn what to do and not to do is by watching how the adults in their lives act. That's why u/Some_Addition_9752 headed to r/AITAH to ask a larger audience if they were right for the way they encouraged their child to act. As a parent, it's frustrating to buy your kids expensive toys knowing they could qu…

'[She] said we needed to talk about how I “spoke to Nina’s child"': 20-year-old employee gets criticized by boss and coworker for scolding coworker's 9-year-old kid

So much for the sentiment behind “it takes a village to raise a child"! That's definitely not the thinking at this person's workplace, and it's created an awkward situation between her, a coworker, and that coworker's child . In general, if there are a bunch of adults and a young child, it falls on everyone to look out for that kid . This makes sense for newborns, who have constant needs, and toddlers, who are constantly putting themselves in harm's way. But the older the kid gets, the murkier…

15-year-old publicly calls out her parents for their preferential treatment of her 17-year-old sister during family gathering: '[Things] got awkward after and my parents yelled at me'

Sisters, can't live with ‘em and—can’t live with ‘em… When it comes to siblings, disagreements, spats, and petty arguments are just part of the bargain, and even if you grow up to be best of friends, there will be points when you’re growing up where you just want to tear each other's hair out. None of this is helped at all by sibling rivalries, the other complex family dynamics, and the topsy-turvy changes of adolescence. Still, things aren't quite even that simple or straightforward when narci…

Resident gets fed up with workers blocking his driveway with cars, so he cleverly blocks them in return, leading to a dispute when they try to leave: ‘I completely lost it at them’

If you live in a private house, you must have had at least a few problems with other people blocking the entrance to your house, specifically your driveway. In areas where parking spots are few and far between, you might constantly find yourself bickering with neighbors about who can park where, and that can drive anyone up the wall. Nobody can blame the resident who wrote this Reddit story (OP, original poster) for how they handled a similar situation with the construction workers in the neigh…

'[She is] selling the samples to her little friends': 17-year-old steals hundreds of dollars worth of perfume from relative, mother insists she's "just a kid"

Some kids are too smart for their own good. This teen is also too entrepreneurial for her own good! Even from a young age, some children just crave money. It's hard not to, since money buys basically everything good in this world. However, kids don't always know that there are ethical ways to make some cash, and ways to make some money that are a bit shady. That kid is so desperate to buy the newest game or some snacks that they might start pilfering from their classmates or stealing pocket mon…

'I wasn't going to sign something that wasn't my fault': Micromanager tries to shame barista for leaving work due to family emergency despite advanced warning

It should come as no surprise to any manager that every once in a while, someone on your team is going to need to call out sick or miss work because of unforeseen circumstances. If the team is well-managed, things should be fine, nothing should implode, and it should be pretty easy to find another coworker to temporarily pick up the slack if necessary. However, if the team is not well-managed, it's easy for everything to fall apart and for the flaws in management to become grossly apparent. Her…

Entitled neighbor beings parking in homeowner's driveway, still unapologetic after making them late for work: 'My neighbor thinks my driveway is her free parking spot'

Parking disputes are always tricky, and there's a lot of grey area when it comes to who is in the right, especially when it comes to public parking, where it becomes a matter of who pulled up to the spot first and was waiting, which results in a lot of he-said-she-said situations when it comes to who deserves the spot. Similarly, a lot of parking disputes arise in neighborhoods when someone is parking a noisy car or for long periods of time right out in front of your house. Sure, the street is…

Resident refuses to stain neighbor's new fence after accidentally removing the old one and replacing it for free, leading to a dispute: ‘He's trying to take me for a ride’

Many people live by the rule of – 'I rather ask for forgiveness than ask for permission', and while that rule is helpful in some cases, you should be careful about who you try it with and how. For example, if a kid wants to go out with friends and they don't know if their mom will let them, then sure, they can try the forgiveness over permission thing, worst that will happen is maybe they'll be grounded for a few days. But as adults, your actions have a lot more consequences and a lot more risk…

Some people make their own karma, and this entitled parent seems to be one of those people.

For the purposes of this story, it's important to note that this entitled parent is also a loud-and-proud vegan.

Aunt demands 13-year-old niece's $500 backpack, one of 50 that she owns, starting rift in the family: '[She] thinks I'm being selfish'

There's a whole lot going on in this post that's really difficult to un- pack (hah, get it) and that I really just can't quite wrap my head around. So, let's start here: Why on earth does a 13-year-old need FIFTY backpacks? With a single bag alone costing $500. And why in the heck does a 13-year-old have their own influencer account?.. And where in the heck are they storing all of these backpacks? At the risk of sounding very “old man yelling at clouds here,”… what in the heck is going on with…

‘Pay the fee and I'll drive you home’: Employee demands coworkers for money after months of driving them around for free, they accuse him of being selfish in response

A person's relationship with the people they work with can be tricky to handle. On the one hand, despite seeing them every day, those people are not really your friends, they are simply… people you see every day. On the other hand, and stay with me on this one, these are people you see every day , so you might want to be on good terms with them, and not create an awkward situation at the office. That is why I understand this employee's initial instinct to be kind to his coworkers by offering th…
