AITA for hiding embarrassing notes in my house as a joke because I know my fiance's mom snoops?

quote:

I bought a house seven years ago and I met my fiance, Al, four years ago This year he moved in. We're talking about making it a home for both of us.

But as of now, he hasn't moved much stuff in, right now 95% of the stuff and furniture in the house is mine.

When his mom comes over, she's kind of a snoop. He was used to that, but when she comes to our house, it's so uncomfortable because she's just going through my poo poo.

When I am bothered, she's like "I was just helping with chores" etc. He says I should just let her because she has "a lot of nervous energy"

One thing she snooped on was actually embarrassing. In my home office, I had a little "affirmation" post it note on my monitor saying "I am smart, I am skilled, I am deserving of great things" It was a silly thing my therapist recommended to get me in a confident mindset before an interview.

Anyway, she made a comment to about my ego...

But as a joke, I decided to do it again. I had my best friend over and we got wine drunk and wrote a bunch of "affirmations" to hide.

Some were:

Medicine cabinet: My teeth will regrow! I am sharklike and powerful!

Kitchen drawers: I know when to spoon, but I also know when to fork! I am sexy and self assured!

Work desk: I will not just gently caress my way to the top of the company, I will gently caress my way to the top of the world!

Walk in closet: I am beautiful with clothes and without! Especially without! My boobs are legendary!

There were a bunch more, and my friend and I had a hilarious time writing them.

Next time my MIL came over she saw a few. And she didn't acknowledge them to me even though she definitely started acting a little weird about me.

I went to run some errands and when I was out, she confronted Al about the notes and was trying to tell him that I seemed unstable, egotistical, and moving in was a bad idea. She showed him the notes and he didn't really know what to make of it.

He asked me and I said that they were just some silly private notes to boost my self confidence and make myself laugh; how had she gotten them? Had she been going through my things?

He said she was just tidying, and saw them. And they were real weird.

I was like 'have you met me? You should know how weird I am. Anyway if you don't want your mom seeing my weird poo poo you've got to stop letting her go through my poo poo"

He asked if I left them on purpose to annoy her, and I admitted that was kinda the joke, but I also have other weird or private poo poo so what I said about her needing to stop snooping if she didn't want to find weird crap was still for real.

He said I was making stuff hard for him, his mom was really protective and adjusting to him moving in with a girlfriend for the first time, and I was agitating her on purpose and making her think I wouldn't be a good partner, when he wanted her to have the opposite impression of me!

AITA for the note prank?


This woman is too good for this world, and she should put those notes back up after throwing out the fiance.

There is a very small age range where this is an acceptable thing to be worried about. Considering she bought a house and had lived there for 7 years, I think he is waaaaaay out of the age bracket. I'm picturing a guy in his mid-30's and his mom is still heavily involved in his life.

I said about her needing to stop snooping if she didn't want to find weird crap

I had a friend's wife that would come over to take care of my cat if I needed to be gone for a few days and when she would make jokes about snooping through my house I told her "Go ahead but be careful, you might actually find what you're looking for." She would change her tune real quick. Its like these people never think about what happens when they FIND the weird poo poo.

This woman owns and should get rid of her mama's boy partner. Then again it might be fun to keep on escalating what she's hiding the more MIL snoops. Let's see if MIL keeps on snooping after she hides a strap on dildo somewhere with a post-it note on it that says "For Pegging." Then watch and laugh as he tries to explain it to his mom.

AITA for throwing away my autistic best friends blanket because his gf told me to?

quote:

First of all my best friend is 24 high functioning autistic. Despite this he has a strong social group, is considered handsome by women and has a good paying full time job.

However he has a secret only me and his girlfriend knows. He keeps a security blanket in his room and talks and hugs with it. He says the blanket got him throughout traumatic moments in his childhood kinda like that character from the cartoon Peanuts.

Well I don't mind what he does but this blanket has been straining his relationship with his girlfriend of 1 year. She tells me he gives more love to the blanket when he's stressed out and she feels like he loves the blanket more than her. So she asks me to get rid of it and when he was at work I took the blanket away and threw it in the local dumpster.

When he came back we explained everything to him and he broke down in tears and locked himself in a room. It's been 2 days. He's girlfriend says hes not talking to anyone and he's still in his room and skipping work. I tried calling him only for him to ignore my calls.

Am I in the wrong in this? I feel like he should talk responsibility in this relationship considering he is an adult. Me and his gf agree he shouldn't be fixating on this object and move on from his childhood.

EDIT: I have finished my shift and have read the comments. Upon some reflection I realised how much of a problem I caused. My IRL friends all sided with me saying that his girlfriend deserves a better guy, saying it's just a blanket. This has led me to believe I was in the right.

For those saying I'm sleeping with my friends gf, I am not I have a partner of my own. I sided with her as I want to fix their relationship as I don't want my friend to become a bitter incel again like in highschool.

I am currently leaving work to drive to the dumpster I threw the blanket in. Luckily it doesn't get emptied until next week. I'll let you guys know if I found it.

Edit 2: I have found it. I am taking it to a professional cleaner first thing in the morning.

If you know guys, you know inside jokes, and my trophy wife became a meme in the STEM underclasses, my friends even made me a mug that said “every developer needs a trophy wife”.

I am a dev and I would bounce someone so fast out of an interview if they had a mug like that. Not only that, but also my coworkers are very on point with any sort of sexism/dude bro mentality and bounce them as well. If he tries to go to any shop that's bigger than a smallish startup or not inherently toxic, he's gonna learn hard and fast that "haha jokes with the dudes" is gonna get you sidelined and shrink your network to "only other lovely bros".

I swear we know the same guy.

I feel bad because I outright hate most anise-salmiakki* type flavors and that’s present way more where I live, but it’s something that even a hint of it makes me retchy, so I get it. And spice must be harder to avoid, especially if you haven’t been exposed to it at a younger age. But it’s one thing to not like something (or not tolerate it well), it’s another to sabotage another’s enjoyment of it. Like I’m not going to TNT a candy section at ICA because I don’t like black licorice in a salmiakki hate crime.

*there is a beer here that’s half salt liquorice/half raspberry flavored and gently caress me it’s drat good (Dugges Fifty Fifty, anything from them is worth a shot). I think THAT might be the only thing I like.

I am weird as hell because I'm an American but I LOVE salmiakki. I was absolutely delighted when I visited Stockholm for the first time and discovered the salmiakki / raspberry combo - MAX had a milkshake with that flavor at the time. The Lakrits store is just amazing, too.

My friends in Stockholm think I'm odd for liking salmiakki too, for what it's worth.

AITA for telling my brothers pregnant wife she can give birth in an ally for all I care

quote:

Edit so my brother and his wife have been kicked out as of one hour ago. My sister in law told me this morning she’d make the next 30 days hell on earth for us and blasted music when the baby was sleeping, put on horror movies on the family tv while my kids were in the Room, messed up both the bathrooms even left the tubs full than made a ton of food without eating much of it or cleaning up. They were extremely rude and went out of their way to insult my wife and children thinking I had to legally let them stay the 30 days when I don’t! so you can imagine their faces when I started throwing their stuff into the front garden they threatened to call the police when that didn’t work and they knew I wasn’t backing down

The tears and begging started my brother even had the nerve to demand money for 3 months rent and a deposit for their own apartment, I told them gently caress off and my wife told them to go over to my sisters house she will help them. They ended begging for hotel/food money but I told them kick rocks and if they weren’t off my property in 20 minutes I was calling the police

I don’t know were they’re now but judging by the amount of times my sister has rang me they’re probably at her house. I’ve also changed my voicemail to “if you’re mad I kicked out bother and sil you take them in or give them money if you won’t or can’t shut the gently caress up”

Thanks everyone for the support
