It's adorable how some folks treat their animals as humans—personifying them and giving them a voice and thoughts as if they can understand every word we say. I don't mean to sound cynical here. It's beautiful to see people treat their animals like family—they are—and where would mankind be without the companionship of pets? But, the personification should stop here; unfortunately, too many pet owners take personification a step too far and begin treating their pets in a way that doesn't suit t…

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…

It's common sense that if you (or your dependents) lose or break something that isn't yours, you should pay out of pocket to replace it, especially when that something is a $30,000 piece of jewelry that was stored out of reach in a place where your little goblins shouldn't have been in the first place. I wouldn't blame anyone related to this incident if they refused to let this parent and their children into their homes ever again. The Redditor, u/throwaway1846189, shared this story to Reddit's…

Homeowner associations are notorious for their tyrannical enforcement of bizarre policies that were drafted by a collection of the worst sort of neighbors who have nothing better to do but worry about what other people are doing. This story was initially posted by u/SpurredOneLastTime (OP) to the r/entitledpeople subreddit and then crossposted by a fascinated reader to the r/f***HOA subreddit community. The OP tells the tale of his ex-wife's final act of retribution that saw him embroiled in le…

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 wife has finally reached her wit's end with her husband's relationship with his close friend Carl. The two are inseparable, and her husband even describes Carl as his "nicotine," He just can't quit "it." Things hit their breaking point when her husband invited Carl to accompany them on their couple's getaway. 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…

Divorce, unfortunately, is almost never final… whether ongoing custody battles, financial disputes, or fending off repeated slights from a crazy ex—it's going to haunt you. That being said, there are those who have come to the end of their romantic relationship who somehow manage to make things work and still be friends. Surprising, I know, but it gives me hope that some people do have the capability to be decent and rational. Well, this guy, Redditor u/Nerd_Law, is continuing to be haunted by…

Redditor u/throwraWaitress109 posted on the /r/AmItheA**hole subreddit, asking for advice on a situation that had come up with her and her husband after they went to a restaurant for a night out on his birthday. Throughout the evening and even during the meal, the waitress had been blatantly hitting on her husband, taking it to levels that made her very uncomfortable. When asked to stop, the waitress just smirked. So u/throwraWaitress109 went home and left a bad review, ultimately leading to th…

Some people feel like everyone is out to screw them over, probably because they're out to screw everyone else over and assume everyone thinks the way that they do. As Ralph Waldo Emerson put it, “People seem not to see that their opinion of the world is also a confession of their character." We project far more of ourselves than we realize when we give our opinion to others. If you think you Sometimes we

It's 2023, and a lot of us are more addicted to social media, streaming services, or YouTube than we'd probably care to admit. We'll take anything and everything — all at once — as long as it saves us from having a single thought enter our head that will lead us to reflect on our own existence. The buzzing hum of constant stimulation provides us with the means necessary to fill the void left by whatever our lives used to be. Unfortunately, despite the constant urge to check the reason behind th…

It's ok to have feelings; they're only natural and not something that we can always control. Still, it's not ok for you to take those feelings out on other innocent people in your life who have done nothing wrong to cause the situation. That's the mistake that this father-to-be made when he decided to take out his “gender disappointment” on his pregnant wife. The two had been expecting their first child, but upon learning that the child was to be a girl, the father-to-be began giving his wife t…

I love Fish ‘n’ Chips. They're one of the main pillars of that make a continued existence on this planet worth it. There's nothing quite like a juicy flakey fillet battered in golden breading and deep-fried to succulent perfection. Serve that up with your choice of sauce and a side of chips, and you're talking some serious joy in edible form. Without Fish ‘n’ Chips, where would we be as a society?.. I'd rather not know the answer. Well, this deadbeat dad-to-be clearly shares the same passion fo…

Some people have zero self-awareness and totally expect themselves to be in the right when everyone else would gladly tell them that they are, in fact, totally wrong. This husband probably was thinking this exact thing when he decided to ask his wife for a divorce after she pulled the plug on his gaming session over his unwillingness to help out with the couple's child. The wife made a post to Reddit's r/AmItheA**hole subreddit in which she appealed to readers of the online community to see whe…

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…

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…

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…
