Throwaway because I don't want my sister finding this. My sister 'Annie' (30'sF) is obsessed with a girl, let's say Jane (20'sF), that her husband cheated on her with in mid 2020. Idk why. Jane's not the first or the last. She was one of the decent ones. Didn't realize he was married, broke it off when she found out, and sent the proof of his cheating to his wife. Somehow he spun this as 'she's trying break us up,' and my sister fell for it. Which is stupid because Jane already blocked them on everything. He's the one that basically stalked her for months after. Anyway, Annie's been stalking Jane's socials. Any time Jane posts about something bad happening, Annie calls me up to gloat. Any time she posts about anything good that happens, Annie starts crying about how it's not fair. In the last few months Jane apparently got a high paying new job, got engaged, and is pregnant. Annie had a full on meltdown over it. It's all she ever wants to talk about. She'll call me at least twice a week with this s__t, and text me multiple times a day. She doesn't want advice, doesn't want to leave him, just want to vent endlessly. My other sister is also tired of this, but my mom says we need to be gentle because it's hard for Annie. I just want her to stop! I tried sympathy, tough love, changing the subject, suggested counselling, nothing works. It's nonstop Jane did this and Jane said that. I hit my boiling point this morning when she was going on about how Jane's fiance would cheat because she's too fat (she's pregnant!) and her baby would be a basterd, etc.. Then she said 'I don't care because I won and she lost. She had him for a week and I have him for a lifetime.' For some reason that made me snap. I told Annie she 'won' a slimy serial cheater who likes to creep on barely legal teens, who never supported her through illness or depression, never lifts a finger around the house, sulks about having to 'babysit' his own kids, constantly makes mean jokes about her, and criticizes her appearance harshly even though he's below average in looks. I said something like 'Maybe you're obsessed with Jane's life because it's yours is a massive dumpster fire.' Since then, I had to deactivate my socials because I'm getting nonstop hate from Annie, her friends, and extended family for being cruel. Apparently I have no morals and condone cheating? None of them are going for the actual cheater though? Just me for pointing out that he's a cheater? My other sister says that I wasn't wrong, but I was an AH to say it so harshly, and that Annie is a victim too. IDk reddit, am I? EDIT: Thanks for all the comments and awards and advice. Sorry I can't reply to everyone. I'll keep suggesting therapy to Annie, and...

Betrayal And Ashes "My boyfriend put my late father's ashes into brownies and fed them to me". "When I begged him why, he smirked and said, I'm just helping you grow out of it ". "That was four months ago". "This morning, he was staring at me helplessly from the defendant's chair". "My boyfriend always told me that he would do anything for me". "And I never truly realized what he meant until I saw it because we were 6 months into our relationship when my dad died of cancer". "Stage 4 progressed faster than anyone saw coming". "Couldn't afford chemotherapy". "I was 23, so I expected my friends to know how to be there for me". "But for the first few months, I couldn't hang out with someone for more than an hour without breaking down into tears". "At first, everyone was understanding". "They'd let me talk about it for as long as I needed, holding my hand while I cried". "But after just the first month, things changed". "My best friends were making up excuses for why they had to cancel on me". "Take three days to reply". "No one answering my calls". "That's what I get for bonding with people over our shared love for clubbing and nights out". "Meanwhile, my boyfriend Tommy was my lifeline". "He would bring me fresh flowers every day, and if he was ever too busy, then he would have them delivered over Door Dash". "I had no idea that he was going to ruin my life because he was the only reason that I wasn't visiting my dad's grave completely alone". "He never tried to shove my grief away and tell me that it was time to move on". "never guilted me into forcing a smile and tell me that my happiness is what he would have wanted". "So, on his one-year anniversary, I decided to volunteer for a 16- hour shift at the local hospice for cancer patients". "I also made sure to play Scrabble with at least three of the patients since that was my dad's favorite game". "It's simple but deeply meaningful to me". "Sometimes it was the only thing that would get me through the year, especially when I felt guilty for not being a better daughter, or when my brain tried to convince me that I could have saved him if I tried harder". "Well, a few months before the 2-year anniversary, Tommy asked if I wanted to visit Miami with his family". "I agreed until he told me the date would overlap the 2-year anniversary". "I figured he just forgot". "But when I reminded him of my tradition, he snapped". " You're being really selfish right now ". " Can you please just put me first for once? ". "I furrowed my eyebrows". "Up to this point, I had canceled dozens of therapy sessions because Tommy really wanted to hang out". "Used money that was for my dad's gravestone upkeep to shower him in gifts"....

So this just happened like 30 minutes ago and 2/3 people called me an a__hole. So my fiance and I went to dinner at his friend "Jimmy's" house and his wife and him have a 5 month old baby boy. I was in the kitchen with Jimmy's wife "Andrea" and she was cooking when their baby starting fussing. Andrea asked if I would hold him as she was busy so I happily obliged. I was bouncing around cooing at the baby when he dove head first into my chest. Not weird he's a breastfeeding baby. Thats when Andrea started making comments about her baby being a "player" and a "ladies man". I laughed and joked back with her. She kept it going saying things like "he's definitely a tit guy", again I just laughed it off. When my fiance and her husband walked in she told my fiance he better watch out the baby was making moves on me. At the dinner table i sat to the right of the baby. Little dude kept grabbing at my chest and she said I should just "pop a tit out for him". Thats when I got uncomfortable, I said "ok, thats enough" and chuckled. Idk how that turned into me being an a__hole but andrea said I made her feel bad for her trying to be nice and Jimmy told me that she was just kidding and it was a "joke not a d__k so I shouldn't take it so hard". I excused myself and went and sat in the car waiting for my fiance. He doesn't think i was rude but he said I should apologize to Andrea. Am I the a__hole?

I used to work for a sandwich shop. All the other employees there were Indian women with very long black hair. Mine was sort of similar I suppose? Medium length and brown. But every time a customer would complain about a long black hair in the food, my boss would immediately blame me without any hesitation or investigation, despite the fact that I was the only person who wore my hair up and netted. So one day I dyed my hair blue with the sole purpose of not being blamed for black hair being in the food. You guessed it, it happened. And how huffy and annoyed my boss got when I said it couldn't be my hair because mine is blue, was beyond amusing

So I (20m) live in a condo lot with a couple of roommates, and we all have our own assigned parking spaces that we paid for. My space is next to our neighbors, who has two spots of their own. Now, normally, I don't have a problem with said neighbors. They're very friendly, very courteous of the other people in the condo lot, and just very good neighbors overall. However, recently, a car that isn't mine started parking in my space, thus causing me to have to park across the street and crossing the street during heavy traffic. After the first day of this happening, I asked around to the other tenants in my lot to try and see whose car it was, and no one knew who the car belonged to. Then I asked the neighbors who have spaces next to mine, and they said, "Yeah, it's family. You're normally gone all day at college (I am currently in college) so we didn't think it would be that big a deal since that space is normally unoccupied during the day." I then asked, "Well, how long is your family going to be staying with you?" I figured if it was only gonna be a couple days or even a week, I could suck it up and just park across the street. They replied, "They'll be staying with us for a while. We don't know how long exactly, but at the least, it will be a couple of weeks, if not months." Needless to say I was not happy. I said, remaining calm and collected, "If I come home tomorrow, and their car is parked in my spot that I paid for, then I will have your car towed." They assured me it wouldn't, and I left feeling pretty satisfied. The next day however, I come home, and the car is still in my spot. So I park across the street, go to their condo, and confront them, asking why their family car still in my spot. They said "Oh sorry, we didn't want to park across the street" I said, "Okay" and left, fuming. I went inside my condo and called the building manager and asked them to call a tow truck. About a half hour later, the tow truck arrived, and towed their car. I moved my car into my spot. The neighbors saw this, and asked me why I did that. I said, "Because you had a car in a spot that wasn't yours." They called me an a__hole, and want me to pay the fine to get the car back. My roommates on the other hand don't think I'm an a__hole because it is my spot. So Reddit, AITA for having my neighbors car towed?

Throwaway for obvious reasons. Anyways the poor thing ended up contracting measles due to my sisters obvious negligence...Anyways his hospital bills are like 8 thousand dollars and now she’s requesting help from the family to help cover the cost of his 3 week hospitalization. I am pro vaccination as you can tell and make enough money . I could honestly reasonably give 2 thousand..But the crux of it is I don’t want to ? Why should I have to donate money to some one who could have just gotten the vaccine and saved herself the trouble..The thing is if he had the vaccine and ended up contracting it. I would have no problem giving her the money. She decided not to vaccinate knowing that she could never reasonable afford the bill. Why should our family have to pay when she made a bad choice? Also I’ve done a lot for her in the sense of prepping meals and cleaning her house and caring for her dogs. It seems spiteful but I think she should have to suffer the consequences of her actions. So am I the a__hole for refusing to give her money because I feel she was negligent by not vaccinating her son of the first place? EDIT:How dare people say I don’t love my nephew because I refuse to reinforce my sisters s__tty behaviour. He is treated and recovering at home I have paid for a tutor as well as groceries and gas. I simply refuse to help her pay the medical bills as she will not vaccinate even though my nephew almost died...If she were to vaccinate and I watched the doctor do it I would pay the entire bill honestly. He’s also in soccer and hockey and I pay for that as well! Sorry if I wasn’t clear in that post also I have tried social services but regardless of the vaccination issue they can’t really make a case. Edit: I’m going to give social services a call with all my evidence and screen shots of our conversations where’s she’s being negligent I’m going to make a solid case and try for custody. I recognize that this is a whole other issue in its self but I messaged my sisters best friend (she’s read this post) and her best friend sent me some screen shots of her talking about having a “pox party” never even knew it was a thing until today. I’m so grateful for all the help this post has provided me. Hopefully I can build enough of a case against her I’ve tried making calls before but her best friend is willing to help me so hopefully I can take him on and get him the help he needs. Im scared for him after the pox party thing and I feel it’s gotten out of hand. I’m not sure what the best route was but this post brought to my attention just how fu**ed up and dangerous this situation can be so I’m...

I (26, F) have no kids. But my oldest brother has two daughters. Oldest is now 7, younger just turned 5. I love both of them a lot, but I'm not blind. As someone who grew up with siblings, it's very clear that oldest daughter (ON) is golden child. She gets whatever she wants, no matter how expensive, and is always showered with praise for her pageants and singing. My younger niece (YN) is very shy, but she is still very sweet and enjoys things like reading and animals. Recently, my YN has been feeling bad about herself. I asked why, and she told me it was because she didn't like her hair color. She's got auburn curls. She was sad because everyone always said how pretty ON's hair was, which was a very light blonde and straight. It got so bad that she'd apparently tried to cut it off, which her mom had just laughed off as childhood mishap. When I was over at brother's house, I noticed that the two were playing with dolls. ON had a very nice Barbie doll, while YN had what looked like a short, cheap Walmart knockoff. I asked why, and mom said it was because she couldn't find a doll with red hair. This made me upset, because 1. The doll's hair is bright red, which is not her hair color, and 2. It was extremely different quality. I said nothing, but when it was YN birthday, I acted. For months I researched doll making and restoring. I took a Barbie, and replaced her hair with some that matched hers and painted the eyes. I then hand sewed several custom outfits, and gave each a blue whale theme (her favorite animal). As a cosplayer, this wasn't that hard. On her birthday, YN was ecstatic. But her sister was obviously not. I didn't pay attention to her, instead focusing on making sure YN liked her gifts. But only a few days later, her parents called me, telling me that I needed to make ON a doll as well. I said I'd get her one on her next birthday. They said no, she needed it immediately because she'd been upset that her sister's doll was customized unlike her store bought ones, and was mad that YN wouldn't share. I told them again that it was a project, and I'd make her one next year. They both accused me of not caring about ON's feelings. I got mad, saying that neither of them cared about being fair when YN was playing with a troll doll that was supposed to 'look like her'. This was a gift meant to make YN feel special, and I wasn't going to cheapen it because ON was pouting. I hung up, but started to wonder: AITA?

Okay so long story short. I was born into a very very strict Jehovahs Witness family. I wasn't ever that obedient as a child, and have always been the one out of my siblings to question the beliefs our parents brought us up with. I'm the oldest of 11 kids, and the only thing that has kept me from leaving is my younger siblings, as a part of our religion is pretty much being completely disowned by the family after departure. So if I leave, I'll never be able to talk to my family again, and they'll never be able to talk to me, even if we see eachother in the street. They basically just pretend you never existed at all. I also have pretty severe pernicious anaemia and chronic kidney disease, and my parents always refused me treatment I was surprisingly allowed to go to university a couple of years ago when I was 18, although I lived at home and the university was a 5 minute walk from my family home, and got into a relationship with my current boyfriend without my family knowing. They know of him but as far as they're concerned he's also JW. I've had many chats with my boyfriend and his parents about how I've grown up, and the more we talk the more I realise how truly messed up my childhood was. The main thing I remember is being told by my dad when I got my period I was finally old enough to 'fulfil my purpose' I'd pretty much made a concrete decision to leave, when I told the sister closest in age to me my plans and although we've always been close, our conflicts within certain aspects of our religion have always got in the way of things. Leaving absolutely kills me because I know I'm sacrificing my relationships with my siblings who I adore. She called me a disgrace and told my parents, who then kicked me out. I'm now living with my boyfriend and I'm relieved that I'm finally out of there but AITA for leaving my siblings and my parents??

01/09/2026

I was over my boyfriend's apartment this weekend and I was cooking dinner because he was studying for exams. I made pasta and a chunky sauce with meatballs and veggies. I told him dinner was ready and he goes "what's for dinner tonight, B*TCH" ... With like a lot of emphasis on the last word. I was fed up, I'd had a pretty rough day with work and I have some awfully bad associations with that word being used by other people in my life who were pretty abusive. So I was so irritated that I dropped the pot of pasta sauce I'd been carrying right on the ground and was like "Well nothing's for dinner tonight now. And I better not hear you using that word again, it's for the girls" He was freaking out about how sauce had landed on his rug and he even said "you're seriously acting like a b__ch right now, I dunno what else to call it" I just walked out and got takeout for myself and went to my friends house. She thought it was funny but my boyfriend was furious, he kept texting and calling and sending me voice memos trying to explain that saying "what's for dinner tonight b*tch" was a TikTok trend.... And that he was just quoting something as a joke to put on tiktok. I thought that was the sh*ttiest excuse ever, it doesn't matter if he saw it as a joke, or stole the "joke", it was still disrespectful. But it didn't change the fact he thought that s__t was funny, to demean me when I was trying to do him a favor. Like hell I came over when he was studying to make a home cooked dinner and he decides it's time for jokes? So I put my phone on don't disturb for the night and split a bottle of wine with my friend and her roommate. The next morning he was sending me angry texts demanding I clean his rug because he was too busy with exams to do it. I was shocked he left it overnight, that's disgusting. I texted him back saying. "Yeah so that's the b**h tax honey :) leave me alone till you're ready to handle your own cooking and cleaning because this b**h isn't anymore. Also it's vile you left that soaking in all night" He called me and told me that he was okay with doing his own household work, but I did throw a full pot of sauce at the ground so that's on me to clean up. I told him "yeah no I'm not comfortable doing chores for you if you see me like your b*tch" He told me he didn't and it was just a "trend" and I got pi**ed off he was playing that "TikTok trend" BS excuse again and I told him "Well I'm starting a trend called 'saucing' where as a little joke people throw pasta sauce around! You can't be mad because...

So I was once sent out as an onsite software programmer to join a crew working at a ride construction site. They gave me a laptop with some limited space and an old 1TB external drive with extra data on it, the kind which needed an external power supply to run (factors in later). Now there are two things which are worth noting about the company * Exteremly tech unfriendly (not many tech people in the company) * Very bureaucratic, even in the face of emergency So as a programmer, I was subject to the same laptop restrictions as say, a sales rep or a business op. Which is really unfair when you have to work closely with an onsite team. And they had blocked transfer on all plain text files. Which is what all source code files happen to be. I was told I would have to email the admin staff EVERY TIME I wanted to plug in the usb drive, the admin would validate with my department, and they would generate for me a one time password for that usb 'session' which was unique to that device. That really annoyed the hell out of me because I knew I would have a lot of copying/backing up to do every now and then. So I came up with a plan. I'd use the password to grant usb access to the drive, copy a few files, then I'd cut power to it and reconnect it. New session, new password needed, new email sent. I told them that it being a construction site, power was very unstable, and the drive they gave me kept disconnecting because it needed external power. I did this every 10-15 minutes, maybe about 50-60 times a day, for 3 days. At the end of the third day, the admin head called me himself to grant me admin rights to the laptop so that I could disable the monitoring software for the rest of the trip. When I went back, they held a meeting to review onsite policies for technical and support visits. EDIT: I really didnt make this clear I think. Usually admin blocked USB access outright. In my case, after requesting, they allowed USB access, but they applied the policy usually reserved for sales reps (which blocks documents, videos, etc from being transferred to/from anywhere, which included plain text). It was an urgent short term trip to complete this project which was gonna run on an isolated system, so setting up an elaborate delivery was pretty much overkill. And the internet access onsite was pretty terrible anyway. I don't actually have a problem with putting in security measures to disallow unknown usb devices from being plugged in. I think thats required. But a device they already verified and vetted? Thats a bit much EDIT 2: This is actually from some time ago, things have been better since then and a couple other incidents. We get encrypted drives with passwords atleast. And no dinosaur external drives

So the other day, my friends and I were heading out to a very popular arcade place, and I was the one to pick them up and drive because why not? I have my full licence and am the most experienced. Now, being a university student, I am thankful to have a car in the first place. It’s a 2007 civic. It drives well, it’s great on gas, saves me money on insurance, and gets me from point A to point B safely with no troubles for the most part. I personally don’t care that it’s old, if it gets me somewhere without a hassle, I am more than happy. Now, I went to pickup my friends and it turns out that one of them was bringing a plus one. I didn’t mind this of course, the more the merrier. Unfortunately, they turned out to be really disrespectful. As my friends partner was getting in the car, he commented about how this was a “s__tty ass car”. Without hesitation, I turned around and told him to get out. He looked at me for a second and tried to apologize, but I was not having it. His girlfriend also got out of the car and I took the rest of our friends home. A few hours later, I got a huge wall of text saying that I overreacted and that it “wasn’t that deep.” I responded by saying that beggars simply can’t be choosers and that this is just like a homeless man complaining about sleeping at his friends shack. Thankfully, his partner did come around and eventually agreed with my point of view, but did not agree with my reaction. So Reddit, aita? Edit: Hello everyone, I was reading through the comments and thought I would address something here real quick. After the situation happened, it unfortunately ruined everybody’s mood and thus is the reason why I took everybody home. It wasn’t my decision. I also addressed this in a reply to a comment earlier, but it has been buried.

I'm not sure how to post an update, if you want to know the full story, is my profile. There's an edit there with some more relevant information and questions you asked. A lot of things happened and I'm finally in the mood to write the update, so here it goes: My sister did follow my scheduled for babysitting that involved our extended family and well... they weren't happy. Two days after my post she left my nephew with one of our aunts. She (aunt) was meeting some friends for brunch and had to take baby with her. Baby was fussy and crying and she had to come home early. Aunt was understandably pi**ed off. I had agreed to babysit the next day and that's when things began going downhill. My nephew is used to be with me but this time he was very fussy and coughing and I thought something was odd. Mom wasn't home and I tried to call her but she didn't answered until about two hours later. She came home, checked my nephew and he had a light fever. Of course, we called my sister and she blamed our aunt for taking out the baby (how dare she have a life while being forced to babysit). She accused our aunt in the family chat and a whole discussion blew up. Suddenly, my mom and sister remembered I was the one who involved the whole family with the babysitting shedule and then I was the one at fault. That was my breaking point. I ended up yelling my sister that she was negligent and a part time mother for my nephew. . Not my proudest moment and I inmediately regreted it, ngl. My mother countered that if my dad (he passed away 5 year ago) listened to me, he would've been very dissapointed me. That killed me because I was really close to him and he always put family above all. Still, I was mad so I said that I expected my sister to reinburse me the ammout I took out from my college fund in full. Not my proudest moment and I inmediately regreted it, ngl. Some info: when my sister and I were born, dad and mom set up a college fund for each of us. Dad always encouraged us to study and improve ourselves and when my nephew was born, I took 5K from my fund to start one for him to honor my dad, as I'm sure he would've done the same. After that, I packed a bag and took and uber to my BF's department. I told him what happened and he and his GF invited me to stay with them as long as I needed. I blocked my mother, sister and the rest of the family and spent the following days both avoiding them and worrying about my nephew. Last friday, I received a call from and unknown number. It was one of my eldest aunt daughters. She and her family...
