AITA for ruining dinner because I showed someone her breaded shrimp was the same inside as our grilled shrimp?

My(28f) friend has a cousin 'Molly' (30ishF) that she's close to. I've met her a handful of times and until this incident didn't think one way or another about her. There've been a couple of weird things prior and after asking my friend, no Molly isn't on the spectrum or have food aversions. Which leads to why I'm posting here: A friend invited us out, and she asked if Molly could come along. While we were ordering Molly kept making a big deal with the waitress about how she didn't want 'raw' shrimp with her meal, she wanted it cooked. Molly pointed to the table next to us where one of the people had grilled shrimp and said "That's what I mean, I don't want raw shrimp. I want it cooked." The waitress was a champ and told her she'd ask if they could substitute tempura shrimp for the regular grilled shrimp. While the waitress was gone, my friend told Molly that the shrimp is cooked and not raw, it's just grilled. Molly went on a whole tangent about how it didn't look cooked to her, insisted that it was raw. Whatever, we order and try to drop it. A couple of us got regular shrimp with our meals, myself included and I got a side of tempura shrimp cause that stuff is good. So here's where I might be the AH: When we got our food and started eating Molly made another comment about how she didn't get how we could eat 'raw' food like that and we were going to get sick. I had enough and...

Poached Egg tried to sign my son out for lunch today and was thwarted by school staff - I feel like it may be about to get messy.

I'm sorry if this post comes off a bit ramble-ish, this happened a few hours ago and I'm still shook up.

​

So after roughly a month of peace and quiet, PE has struck again. Today I took the day off because I needed to run some errands and we are buying a car this weekend. I'm on the phone with my mom when I see that my son's school is trying to call me. I take the call and it's the receptionist who works the front desk saying that my son's grandmother is there trying to sign my son out for lunch and that she isn't on the pick up list and is it all right for grandma to take him for lunch?

​

My stomach sinks and I tell the receptionist no, she isn't allowed to pick up and to please send her away.

​

She says all right, and hangs up, Also, a bit of an update, last week I received word that my ex has failed yet another d__g test and my spidey-senses are tingling like mad now so I immediately call back and ask to speak to someone in the office.

​

I explained to the staff member who takes the call what has just happened. I tell her how grateful I am that the receptionist caught it, and explain about how my ex has failed yet another d__g test and still has no access, and about the GPR threats PE made that I'd already spoken with an attorney about. She told me that his...

AITA For telling my wife to take time off work if she wants time for herself?

My wife (40F) and I (39M) have been married for 12 years and have 2 kids (9 & 7). We both work full time, but I have got promoted about 3 months ago that required a change to my work hours. I used to have the same standard M-F hours as my wife. But my new role has me working 10-hour shifts Thursday-Sunday. This promotion came with a pretty substantial pay raise as well. My wife and I discussed how my change in hours would affect our family's day-to-day lives, but we both agreed it would be worth it for the additional income.

I use my time off on Monday-Wednesday to do pretty much all the family shopping, errands, cleaning, laundry, and have even been able to make substantial progress on some long put-off home projects. I also cook dinners and prep weekly lunches for the kids and my wife. The additional income is becoming noticeable as well as we haven't had this much in our savings account in years.

A few weeks ago, my wife started griping about my new job. She hates that I am working all weekend because that means she's with the kids the whole time. She complains that she goes from working all week to solo-parenting on weekends. Both our kids are in activities on weekends so she has been doing that by herself as well.

We talked about ways to ease some of the weekend stuff from her such as getting a babysitter, carpooling to kids' activities, taking the kids to their grandparents, etc. But she still complains that...

Aita for sending a colleague pictures of me in hospital?

Hi so HAPPY NEW YEAR!

A few years ago I was injured in a workplace accident and I got an infection and lost my leg. Due to it being my works fault I had a load of photos taken of the whole process of me in hospital and the loss of my leg.

I recently got a new job and a colleague keeps making fun of my limp. I wear a prosthesis and I’m not fully used to it yet and so I still have a limp. My doctor says most people always have a limp.

Anyway he keeps making comments that I’m drunk or that faking it or looking for attention. This has been happening for about 6 months now. I finally lost it when he told someone that I’m trying to make people think I’m a soldier and lost my leg in war for stuff from people. Like favours etc.

I’m just fed up I’ve told him before it makes me uncomfortable and he told me that it’s just a joke and to “ chill out”

So I sent him an email with some photos of me sick in hospital, a few were explicit photos of my leg dying etc. He’s now complained to hr about it. Maybe I went too far but I’m fed up to be honest.

AITA for declining to sell someone’s concert ticket back to them after their boyfriend sold it without their consent?

There's a concert I've dying to go to (BTS in LA), but I missed out on tickets when they went on sale because of high demand. I was heartbroken because I had 2nd row floor seats as well as lower bowl seats on the second day to their last tour in San Francisco, but it was cancelled and refunded due to Covid. I occasionally check Ticketmaster for resale, and they are ridiculously priced and I can't justify it - $2k floor seats, seats in the lower bowls going for over $1k, $400 nosebleeds etc.

But a couple of days ago, I refreshed and found a seat on the floor just a couple of rows back from the stage for $400, which is face value I believe. I SNAPPED it up in a heartbeat & was amazed I was able to check it out. I figured if worse comes to worse and work denied my PTO request, I could resell it and make my money back in a heartbeat.

I made a tweet from my public account about my good fortune and how excited I was to go to the show. I got a DM from a woman two days later who told me she forgot her ex-boyfriend knew her password to her account from a show they went to together & he sold her ticket out of spite & begged me to transfer it back to her saying she'd give me my money pack, pay my fees & give me $100 on top of it. She was able to show me screen recordings verifying her story....

AITA for laughing at my biological parents face when they told me leaving us was the hardest decision they have made?

Our family has an interesting story. My bio-mother's side and bio-father's side have 2 marriages between the families. One of them is our bio-parents and one of them is between my bio mom's brother(55) and my bio dad's sister(54). My bio mom Linda and bio dad Chris actually have met in my uncle's and aunt's engagement dinner when both of them were 16.

Linda and Chris are still complete wrecks. My bio dad was the troubled one of the family whom would have problems with school or the work and my bio-mom has addiction issues since she is 14.

When they have met and started to have a relationship ,both sides of the family tried to break them up,they even sent them to different countries but they stole 50k USD from their families,managed to come together and ran away when they were 19. They got married in a 3rd world country and they had me(25M) and my twin brother when they were 21 years old. They thought we were deadweights so they left us in the hospital and went into another country. Luckily they have checked into the hospital with their passports so the hospital have reached into the embassy ,than they found my grandparents and they brought us back home and we have been raised by our uncle and aunt since(we call them mom and dad). My parents were charged with child abandonment but after 10 years of being MIA,the charges were dropped and our families also didn't try to look for them.

2 years ago,they showed up at my dad's parents house in...

AITA for refusing to spend Christmas with my family because my sister will be there?

First, let me start this by saying that I love my sister, I understand that she is not responsible for her actions, and I don't want to see anyone badmouthing her in the comments.

I(24F) have been married to my husband (23M) for 2 years now, dating for 4. After the first Christmas he spent with my family, I did my best to avoid spending the holidays with them (we usually make the excuse that my husband is an only child and go visit his parents.)

When my sister (30F) was 17 years old, she was in a horrific car accident. She was in a coma for 3 weeks, spent months in physical/speech therapy, and worst of all, ended up suffering from what the doctors say is hypersexuality. I won't get into details, but some of her behaviours are not suited for the public. And they are not voluntary.

The doctors tried multiple meds and she is still in therapy, but nothing seems to work. It cost my sister almost all her friends, multiple jobs, and she is unable to have a meaningful relationship (so far).

The thing is, whenever my husband visits, it seems to get worse. My husband is attractive, and it is obvious she is attracted to him (neither of us blames her for that), but if we spend any extended period with her, things become very uncomfortable.

This year, my in-laws are going to be in Europe during Christmas, so my parents were very excited thinking we will be spending it with them. I ended up telling them that...

AITAH for leaving for my ex's house after my husband let a collection agency steal all our money?

Two months ago, I (45F) woke up to a $0 balance bank account. Now two months on, I still can't convince myself it's not my husband's fault or that forgiveness is possible.

This was a shared bank account my husband and I had opened, and is where he receives his paychecks and our rent, groceries, gas, credit card payments, etc comes from this account.

We are not rich- I make $14 an hour working 28 hours a week and he makes $18 an hour full time.

We have two kids, but only our younger daughter (7) is his biologically. My older daughter (12)'s father is my ex. We broke up due to his constant cheating ( never married).

This all started because my husband got a real estate license in hopes of making extra money ( despite no real business until summer).

He became concerned about how real estate agents have to be trusted with sensitive information and was afraid it would work against him if he was being sued by creditors.

I admit that to soften the standard of living disparity between my ex and I, we took out more credit cards than we should have, for my daughter's sake. We got collection calls and I told him to tell them to get a life.

I also suggested bankruptcy but he said that they would all come to collect the money anyway. One creditor was particularly aggressive and found us after we moved and my husband said his public license meant they'd always find him.

He called them, and...

AITA for telling my sister to stop whining about her son’s graduation speech?

I (33F) have a sister, Jane (40F), Jane and her husband have 7 kids (17M, 15M, 14F, 12F, 11M, 8F and 5M).

Her 11 y/o son, Braxton, is graduating from elementary school later this month. Braxton is the school president, and thus will be giving a speech at graduation.

Jane read Braxton’s graduation speech last night while we were at our mom’s house for dinner and it ended up in a massive argument.

5 years ago, my husband (33M) and I hosted an exchange student, Justin (15M at the time, now 20M) who is from the Philippines. Justin loves basketball and when we found this out, we were excited for Braxton (who was 6 at the time) because he had started to play basketball but no one else in the family was really interested. This quickly evolved into my husband and I driving Justin and Braxton to either the gym or a local sports center every day to play, I would normally supervise as I wasn’t working and had no kids at the time. By the end of the year, Justin and Braxton grew close and after Justin left, they would still talk on the phone, my husband and I would help them speak to each other.

Justin started college this year after taking a gap year due to COVID. He’s an international student at a college around 45 minutes away. He lived on campus this year but will be moving into Jane’s house, and more specifically, Braxton’s room, very soon. Braxton and Justin have spent a lot of time together since he got...

AITA for refusing to buy my in-laws Christmas gifts to make a point to my husband?

Been together 9 years(29f/30m), have 2 kids. I absolutely adore my in laws. They are fantastic people and I get along with them swimmingly. My family is far from perfect and raised me in a very toxic environment so having positive people like my in laws in my life has been a god send.

However, because my husband knows how toxic my family was when I was growing up, he refuses to include them in anything. This is the only downfall in our marriage. They have never done him wrong or done myself wrong for years either but he doesnt give a s__t. Just completely disregards that they even exist. We get his family something for Christmas every year, as well as spending the eve and day with them every year; mine is lucky to get a "Merry Christmas" text.

Now, my sister is almost 18 and just found out she is pregnant. Shes against a__rtion and did use a condom, which obviously broke. She lives with her BFs parents who have made both her and her BFs lives a complete hell since finding out. My sister and her BF both worked part time and went to school but after his parents found out they were pregnant made their son drop out of school and get a full time job (he was 4 months from getting all credits to graduate). They also upped their rent from $400 a month to $800 a month(even though their rent is only $950 for a 6 bedroom house and they cant use any of the spare rooms), plus they have...
