AITA for letting my kids play Pokemon GO at a cemetery? My Kids and I play Pokemon GO. My two kids love it and I play along to join in on their universe and I also help out with technical issues that they might encounter. My daughter who is now 11 has played since the game was released. My son who is 7 has just recently begun playing. Even their Mother has the game and joins in from time to time. Last week on our vacation to northern Germany (Hamburg and Kiel) we stayed at a hotel that has a park close by or so it would appear from the map in Pokemon GO. The park had many poke-stops and my kids asked if we could go there. I told them we could do so the next day before we drove on. Next day as we walked to the park I quickly realized it was a cemetery. I got second thoughts about our plan and told my wife I was not sure if it would be appropriate to hunt for pokemons at a cemetery. My kids did not understand my issue with this nor did my wife. So, I agreed to do one round. We stayed there for about 30 minutes. The kids caught some new pokemons and so did I. The whole time I was not comfortable about my decision. The cemetery was very beautiful. There was even a WW1 memorial (guess they are all over the place in Germany). We only encountered 10-12 people. Besides playing Pokemon GO I think we acted very respectfully. No running around. Kept to the paths and kept our voices down. As we exit the cemetery a middle-aged man passes us on his bicycle. As he did, he turns and yells, in German, directly translated poo poo parents. My wife and kids don’t understand German, but I do. AITA for playing Pokemon GO at a cemetery? Sorry for any spelling mistakes. English is not my primary language.

AITA for not trading my girlfriend a shiny Bulbasaur? This is going to sound incredibly petty, but please hear me out. My girlfriend and I both play Pokemon Go which is a mobile game. Over the weekend, there was an event where you could catch shiny Pokémon for a limited amount of time. Shiny Pokemon are essentially the exact same as regular ones, except they're a different color example. My favorite Pokémon is Gengar (which is relevant info for later). My girlfriend's favorite Pokémon of all time is Bulbasaur. There is no Pokémon she loves more than Bulbasaur. During the event, she caught one of each type except Bulbasaur. I caught shiny after shiny and was able to get multiple of each Pokémon. I even caught two Bulbasaur. I caught my second Bulbasaur just as the weekend ended. My girlfriend was there and she was clearly distraught because the event was over and she hadn't caught one. I could tell she was sad and asked why she was sad because at least we both had caught shinies. She then expressed her disappointment that we had played all weekend in the cold rain only for her to catch everything but her favorite and that it felt like a slap in the face. She then started crying (which is when I started getting annoyed). She said it was because I did a dance every time I caught a shiny while she was still empty-handed. My dancing was meant to be a joke and I felt it was very obvious that I was joking, but she said it felt like rubbing extra salt in the wound because this happens every time there is an event. To be fair, it's true that I always get significantly more lucky than her but RNG is the mechanic of the game. Some are luckier than others. She then mentioned the time when there was an event for the Pokémon Gengar. On this day, she said that by the end if I wasn't able to catch a shiny, she would trade me hers even if it was the only one she had. In the midst of crying, she admitted that she didn't feel entitled to my second Bulbasaur, but that it disappointed her that she would be willing to sacrifice her single Gengar for me when I wasn't able to sacrifice one of my two Bulbasaur for her. However, even though I did catch a few shiny Gengar on Gengar Day, I wouldn't have felt entitled to her Gengar. Even though Bulbasaur isn't my favorite, I still wanted to keep my second one so that I could have the second evolution as well. I did not want to give it up. My annoyance was heightened by the fact that she acted so childish over a mobile game. So Reddit, am I the rear end in a top hat?

AITA for telling my fiancee to stop playing pokemon GO? She almost got hit by a car today playing this game and I tried to warn her a car was coming when I was shouting her name and to stop but she only heard my name and thought I was telling her to hurry up and she ran infront of a car and stopped right before it hit her and it stopped too. Edit: We were walking I should clarify I just took her phone she wasn't even mad she just was surprised at how shaken I was witnessing this. AITA?

Some years ago when I was working at a bank branch and we needed warm bodies (we always needed warm bodies because the manager was a psycho) we had a jon application from a guy that had an email address beginning with "playa69." They gave him an interview and then still hired him despite him disclosing that he was in the middle of suing his former employer. His previous employer had been one of those Rent To Own furniture and appliance stores. Apparently the manager and her assistant thought he still deserved a shot despite all the red flags. Whenever he would get in trouble he would immediately try to throw someone else under the bus, and because my boss was an idiot it worked about half the time. He was eventually fired for sales misconduct involving a loan application for another employee. Employee loan applications always got a second look and more scrutiny, so I'm not sure how he thought he would get away with that one. He still tried to blame it on someone who no longer worked at the branch telling him that it was OK to lie for the customer on loan applications to get them approved.

AITA for taking a gym in Pokemon Go? Okay, so this literally just happened and I am simultaneously livid and scared. A little bit of backstory, I work part-time as a Grubhub driver, and I mostly work late at night. My market is pretty new, so I don't usually get many orders. While I'm waiting for orders to come in, I usually fire up the POGO app and drive around to some of my town's PokeStops and gyms to battle, get stops and catch new Pokemon (don't worry, I'm not playing while driving). My wife is usually with me during my late night shifts because buddy system and all that jazz, and sometimes my sister and her husband will join us on the really slow nights. Tonight was one of those slow nights where the four of us were out during my shift. Right near the end of the shift, we drove around to a few stops and got some gyms. We pull up to one of the gyms and park. It's owned by a Valor player (the four of us are Mystic). Cool, he left like a tiny little CP 160 or something Skorupi to guard the gym. We take it over, pull closer to some of the surrounding PokeStops, everything is peachy. After nearly two minutes, my Pokemon has returned to me. The four of us are joking around and my sister says jokingly "let's defend our honor!" So we pull back around to the gym and see that the same player had retaken the gym and left yet another low CP Pokemon there. We start battling because why not and this dude is standing outside the store where the gym is located, notices that we're the ones taking over the gym, and says "you know it's rude to take over a gym just after someone got it." We thought he was joking around with us so we all four just laugh. It should be noted that none of us, save for a few select friends each, know any other Go players in our town. We were all initially happy to have seen the guy because we were just surprised to finally have met another player. But it turned out this guy was not being friendly. He was pissed at us. He started ranting to who I think was his SO that works at the store about how none of us knew basic respect. We didn't engage cause we were just shocked. So, we left our Pokemon at the gym and pulled away. We went to another couple of gyms still a little upset that this guy was that butthurt, but after about 15 mins or so, we'd kind of gotten back to our normal routine. After a half hour, we decide to do some final stops on our way home, which allows us to pass by some of the gyms we'd already taken earlier. One of these gyms had been retaken by the dude from before. Now, this gym was fairly close to the one where we'd been at earlier, so we just figured maybe he'd been walking home and had taken it on his way. Then, I noticed one of the Pokemon I'd put at another gym had returned. This gym was a couple miles away from the gym we'd been at, but it was just close enough that we could see a small outline of the gym texture. We checked, and once again, it was the same guy. Just after that revelation, another set of our Pokemon came back from a gym we'd recently been to that was even farther away than the last. So we pull around to the gym where the dude had been, in an area where you couldn't actually see the store to make sure the dude couldn't see us and we started to retake the gym he'd gotten pissed at us over, so that we could see if he was still there or if he was tracking our movements and following us. As we're fighting, a car pulls up behind us and parks, headlights still on, and just sits there. Then we notice that the Blissey he'd left there began being healed. After our battle was over, he sped around us and yelled at us (not sure what he said), and then pulled back into the store's parking lot, got out of his car, and stayed in the same place. So it turned out the dude had followed us around the town. We still don't know if he'd actually followed us or if he just went around town looking for gyms taken by us, but I still think it's creepy and totally uncalled for. None of us meant any malice to anyone while we were playing, we were just having fun. TL;DR: My wife, my sister, my brother-in-law, and I all went around my town playing Pokemon go, took a gym from a dude, he got pissed and followed us/tracked our movements for the next half hour, taking gyms from us in retaliation. So I need to know, am I the rear end in a top hat in this scenario?

I think there's two different views on this thread. Some view it as a human drama thread where drugs, abuse, estrangement (which has been spun off) and crime pop up as often as the funny stories. Anything in r/relationships is fair game. Others view it as a comedy thread where it's mostly the humorous stories should be posted.

Let's post something uplifting then Girl at work [24-ishF] tried hitting on my [22F] husband [24M] as a power move. How do I go back to work now? Relationships I recently graduating from the Paul Mitchell School, and I started working at a salon a few months ago. I really like most of the girls I work with, but there is one girl in particular (Erin) who just does not like me. I really don’t understand what I did to her but she made it very clear she does not like me at all very early on. It did culminate this last week when I put a lady in my seat who is apparently one of Erin’s regulars. I didn’t mean at all to steal business from her. She came in for a walk-in on Erin’s day off and I just said I could take her. Maybe I messed up but it was an accident. Erin got all bent out of shape about it and it culminated with her chewing me out in the back room, at which point she told me she “could ruin my life.” Today we had a social thing in the salon. They do this every six months or so where they close the shop and have a potluck and you can bring in SO’s and whatnot. It’s supposed to build up a family atmosphere I guess. So I brought my husband in, we were having a good time. I intentionally avoided Erin but she found her way over to us. She didn’t say a word to me but introduced herself to my husband. He tried to be polite but I could tell he was weirded out (and I had kept him up to date on my issues with this girl). She got very flirty, and maybe it’s just my imagination but I swear she looked me in the eyes while she did it. She went as far as telling him if we “don’t work out” he should talk to her. That prompted my husband to get pissed and tell her to leave him alone and we wound up leaving. I am so pissed off by this! I don’t know what Erin’s loving problem with me is, but that is over the line! I like my job and my salon, but it’s going to be pretty hard to look at Erin again without hauling off and breaking her nose. Is there a solution? The other girls and the boss like me, or seem to, but Erin’s worked there for years and is in the OG club. Am I done at this salon? Can I work this out? TL;DR: Girl at work brazenly flirted with my husband as a power move. How do I possibly work next to her again?

There are people who read this thread who would rather it not be a place where they even have to scroll past dark, distressing stories of people hurting each other, even if they don’t have a personal history that makes certain subjects particularly upsetting. I suppose a compromise would be for posters to label each post with a sort of ratings advisory sticker similar to what movies, TV shows, or games have. Rated FM for Fight Man Edit: I had forgotten we actually had a specific codified rule about this rather than a general consensus.
