‘Your Boyfriend Has to Leave, Now’ : Furious Brother Kicks Sister's Disrespectful Boyfriend Out of Holiday Dinner for Being Rude to His Blind Wife

‘Your Boyfriend Has to Leave, Now’ : Furious Brother Kicks Sister's Disrespectful Boyfriend Out of Holiday Dinner for Being Rude to His Blind Wife

Reentering the office after Christmas can be particularly overwhelming. You'll find everybody huddles together, each recounting their own dramatic holiday saga, which usually involves a few or more ‘loved ones’. Granted, family dinners are like taking part in a reality show, minus the cameras. My personal motto that has served me well throughout the years: When in doubt, say nothing. Also, lie — a lot. Or rather, omit as many details of your life as you possibly can. Moreover, if somebody says…

“Never look a gift horse in the mouth”… I'm certain there has never been a more appropriate time to use this expression. In this case, this entitled a-hole and his wife killed and dissected the entire damn horse and are now complaining that it's not winning any races.

AITA for leaving for a ski trip while my wife and kid were asleep?

'I packed up and left': Jerk husband ditches wife and sick daughter for a ski trip with his friends without telling them he's leaving, wonders if he's wrong

When you make the decision to get married (or make some other long-term commitment of trust and reciprocity to another person), you should probably consider that person's needs, thoughts, and advice. This goes double, if not triple, when you make the decision to (or otherwise) have children. These people come first and foremost in your life, before any fun you might want to have with your friends and, certainly, before a ski trip. Imagine the cruel audacity to straight up ditch your wife and si…

AITA for going against my wifes wishes when purchasing our first home?

Insane guy purchases entire house without his real estate agent wife's knowledge, wonders if he's wrong

When you're in a committed long-term relationship, it's always advisable to make large, life-changing decisions as a team: This is something we would expect would go without needing to be said. Alas, wherever there are people making decisions, there is always going to be one person making one so utterly stupid you might not have even considered it to be an option in the first place. Take this idiot husband, for example; he thought it would be a clever idea to purchase a house without his real e…

AITA for telling my parents I won't attend their christmas celebration until they send my husband a separate invitation?.

Update: 'Parents have disinvited me': Immature husband throws a fit when in-laws don't send him his own invitation to Christmas, gets couple disinvited

The proverbial phrase “Don't look a gift horse in the mouth” feels incredibly relevant when discussing invitations to Christmas celebrations — what with the whole gift-giving thing and all. Still, one might consider repurposing this into something that directly fits the occasion. I'm thinking something here along the lines of “Don't interpret an invitation on the recipient line.” — or something of that nature. Like, your name's already on the invitation dude. It's not normal to send couples mul…

AITA for telling my parents that I make more than both my siblings when they told me to get a real job | I'm a nanny to 2 special needs kids. There's a very high demand for nannies for special needs kids because 3 special needs daycares in my county shut down, so I make approximately $120,000

There's nothing like changing someone's mind by proving them wholly and completely to be out of touch. Being able to smack them over the head with an indisputable “I told you so.” works more wonders than any amount of arguing ever could have.

Update! 'There was broken glass everywhere': Can-stealing delinquent nephew gets arrested after trashing uncle's home

What do you do when you've been caught and punished for your delinquent actions? Apologize and learn from the experience, improving your life and outlook? No! Double down on your mistakes — of course! That was the illogical reasoning that led us to this update in a post that was shared on Reddit's r/EntitledPeople subreddit. This one escalates and gets pretty wild. I was kind of on the fence about sharing this one because it takes a sharp left turn out of the “fun zone.” after the nephew is arr…

All's well that ends well — right? This internet user returned over a year later to provide an update on the family conflict that they had asked for the internet for advice on. The user is a baker who inherited her grandmother's secret spice cake recipe. The grandmother had left an open invitation to any member of the family who wanted to learn the recipe; all they had to do was join grandma for a baking session. To the poor dying grandmother's dismay, the poster of the thread (OP) was the only…

There will always be people who consider themselves to be the exception — to rules, laws, or just plain old common etiquette. These entitled individuals think they're the main character but don't even stop to consider the fact that they're really just making themselves into one of many faceless, disposable goons in everyone else's day — like those hordes of aliens in the first Avengers who just mercilessly eradicated in the final act having received literally zero screen time. Anyways, this bro…
