This bowler struck out when they found their lane swarmed with little kids . As the OP tells it, she was trying to figure out if she was the a**hole in this scenario, because her friends think she is. The OP writes that while she was bowling with some friends on a weekend, she was in a lane near lots of kids. The weekends definitely are a time for parties, but the OP was annoyed that the kids kept going into her lane. Aside from the safety issues, the kids' parents wouldn't lift a finger to hel…

Friends do many things, but one thing they don't do is try to make money off of each other.

When a couple decides to have children, it's usually an unstated agreement that the children are BOTH adults' responsibility. However, sometimes folks forget that when you rear a human child, it is a ton of work on your own and is a task best suited for both parents to pitch in. Now, when you have 4 kiddos, that is a responsibility that is obviously quadrupled. One working woman and mother of four kids, recently got into a fight with her deadbeat husband about their shared parenting and Reddit…

Here's how to ruin a party in just one step. A lot of planning is involved with any party – making a list of food, drinks, party supplies, and more. This person had their party all planned out. They invited their friend group , and mentioned more than once they have a severe allergic reaction . However, once the party actually kicked off, barely an hour passed before someone broke this one critical rule. How hard is it to avoid someone's serious allergies if you're already aware of them? As com…

“I mean SPECIFICALLY asked for cash gifts," wrote this bridezilla who was steaming mad at her wedding guests.

While hosting a dinner for friends, this woman accidentally confused everyone in attendance with her strange payment policy . The OP of this story, r/Pinkishrabbit, was so befuddled that they wrote to r/etiquette to figure out what was actually going on. As the OP tells it, they went for a dinner at a pal's house along with two other mutual friends. They had a nice time, until the next day, when the two friends began texting the OP that the host had asked them for money . Sure enough, the host…

What do you get when you cram 6 college girls into a tiny, off-campus house for a year? Drama . No matter which way you slice it, a group of that many females is going to fracture at some point, creating factions of opposition, passive aggression, and pettiness of Biblical scale. One woman named Claire recalls a time when her and her 5 other friends were all very close– during their junior year of college –but that was before they all moved in together and noticed that each other's quirks were…

This post is crazy. Like positively insane… Whether or not you believe the legitimacy of it, it makes for some brilliant reading that scratches a “true-crime” itch. There's just something astounding about reading stories with this level of gaslighting, manipulation, and scheming—especially since most of us probably can't even fathom actually behaving in this way. Perhaps some of the satisfaction comes from trying to suspend yourself from your normal train of thought and imagine just what that p…

This manager went into work on her day off just to bully her so-called “friend/employee." In this insane story told to r/AmItheA**hole, the OP described an interesting work situation she's got going on. The 34 year old manager went into her retail job on her day off, probably because she considers her employees to be her friends. Not that bosses and employees can't be friends in theory, but there's got to be some boundaries drawn, and this clueless boss has some major issues with that.

One person wondered if they were at fault for the full cost of a new MacBook after breaking their friend's computer.

Her husband thought it wouldn't be a problem for them to cram Carl into their two-person room with only one bed. The wife got the shock of her life when she found out her husband plan…

With friends like these, who needs enemies? In a satisfying update to her original post, this OOP shared the story of her and her friends trying to get tattoos and piercings together, only to get kicked out by the studio! This woman and her friends headed to a tattoo parlor . The OOP's friends encouraged her to try out a ball machine at the studio that randomly selects a tattoo for the user. However, what OOP didn't know was that after she chose a ball, she was apparently obligated to get a tat…

We want the best for those that we care about—this can sometimes present a moral quandary… Is it ethical to do something that would be otherwise unethical if it saves said loved one from certain disaster? This can be incredibly difficult to get your head around, providing a much more difficult philosophical dilemma than whether or not someone is wrong for stealing their roommate's cat. The idea of doing harm to prevent a greater one brings a certain trolley problem to mind: Is it wrong to do so…

Good pranks are harmless fun that gets a laugh out of everyone. Great pranks get back at that original prank in a relevant way that maintains the fun while also ensuring the appropriate revenge is exacted. So, what should you do when you discover that your friends next door have taken all of your furniture? Well, let them keep it—of course! That's what these roommates did when they arrived home to discover that all of their furniture had disappeared; they decided to make the most of the situati…

Every once in a while, you come across a minor inconvenience that makes you want to scream.

Mean girls will always be the mean girl. It's as if they have a toxic cloud of rude energy that surrounds them and compels them to be complete jerks to the people around them, manipulating people's insecurities and using deep trauma and feeble attention seeking tactics to control the people around them. One super extra mean girl, u/blueisnotcreative , is the worst kind of mean girl– the kind that plays innocent and pretends to be everyone's friend. Yuck. Recently, Blue posted on AITA, asking if…
