My Polish friend once half jokingly asked me if I'd come with her back home for her brother's wedding because her family kept harassing her about not having a boyfriend (she was asexual and we were just good dinner buddies).

I still regret not going and living a polish romcom for the weekend but I think polish wedding drinking would have killed me.

My sister in law did this for a close gay friend's dying grandma. The whole family was in on it.

I get the feeling it's like, as well as the very specific reasons it's incredibly lovely to do to trans people and should be punished, it's also just a generally lovely thing to do to anyone regardless of circumstance. And you very much notice the same kind of lovely people have the same kind of tone when they do it. They know what they're doing.

AITA Accidentally cut in line at Michaels, couple freaked out at me

quote:

Today I went to Michaels to pick up a couple of gifts. When I was going to check out, I hopped in line as one does, just three people ahead of me. I was standing there for a couple of minutes texting my partner back, and I know it was a couple minutes since afterwards I double-checked the time between texts.

Anyway as the line gets closer, this older couple shoves right up to me, barreling past. It totally caught me off guard as well as the people that had been in front of me. When I got in line, this couple had been off to the side about 10ft away, looking at items on the wall. Had they been closer, I would normally double-check to make sure if they were in line.

They both are angry and say �Did you cut us??� �We were here, why would you do that??� and were super offended. I was totally shocked as I had been there for a while and am not someone who would intentionally do that.

I said politely �Oh, I�m sorry, I saw you over in the corner looking at things and had assumed you weren�t in line.� Thinking that was the end of it and oh well my mistake I guess, they were back in their spot.

But they carry on being angry at me, basically not letting it go and acting as if I had intentionally tried to sabotage their line presence. I couldn�t help myself asked the man, �Why are you making this so weird??� when he carried on. Oh this pissed him off. I then just ignored him and he kept turning around to say poo poo to me, and at this point another couple came up behind me in line. The older couple finally got to the next open register with the man turning around and saying more things to me about cutting, and the couple behind me and I exchanged looks, saying �what the gently caress?�

Basically, I have anxiety and this exchange is still really bothering me. I was raised pretty strictly to be very polite, and I didn�t mean to be an rear end in a top hat. Their reaction makes me feel like I really wronged them somehow? It�s bothering me.

TLDR; older couple that had been ~10ft away when I joined 3-people line and had been there for a couple of minutes came up very angry and accusing me of cutting. I apologized and said I had thought they had been looking at stuff, sorry. They would not let it go, I then asked them why they were making it so weird, ignored them.

E: if you�re going to ding me for this you should queue it up to start in, eh, twelve hours or so, I�m about to play a game for a few hours and then it�s bedtime so I wouldn�t notice a sixer

You're not wrong but it's one of those things where the energy is going to pick up because there's also Escape Rooms, Go Karts, like a whole laundry list of things. At some point the kids are going to have to get cut out and it's going to hurt their feelings. Better to just lay down the line nice and early and say "We'll do something special with just us some other time. This night is just for her and her friends."

It's not ideal but it never is in these situations. On-balance, it actually is a situation where the family has to take a step back and go "well thank god this is the problem we have instead of figuring out how to add 24/7 caregiving to their older stepsibling's life, or what outfits the kids have to wear to her funeral."

AITA for telling my son he is spoiling his daughter?

quote:

English is not my first language

My son has a 10 years old daughter. A while ago they were doing some repairs at home and had to stay with us for a few weeks.

I noticed that every day he will pack lunch for her and not just that, he will also make different shapes and faces with the food. It takes up a lot of his time.

If she was 5 this would be understandable but she is 10, she should be packing her own lunch.

After a few days I decided to talk to him and told him I think he is spoiling her and should let her pack her own lunch. He got angry and called me an rear end in a top hat and basically implied that it's none of my business

Sure, but why does Logan get to go to the theater and a couple activities then? Lola is the same age. OP has a point; the only justification offered is that 'they're closer'. The invites are unfair to her kids. There is a vibe that her kids are the step family and not the real family, and if there was any counterbalance offered she doesn't mention it.

OP handled it poorly, which is why she's getting dumped on, but idk what I would do in the same situation. It's not great.

AITA for trying to get my friend to see how his girlfriends job is more important than him

quote:

I (23F) have been friends with kai(26m) since we started working together a year ago. He has a girlfriend (27f) and they�ve been together since they were teenagers. we both work as hairdressers so we�ve gotten really close.

His girlfriend spends most of the year at sea working, she works for six months straight and then comes back for a few months. I�ve always been worried for him as soon as he mentioned her job since she can�t be there for him if he needs support.

I was interested in her work life since her career is unique so I asked kai what she does, she works as a deckhand but all of her coworkers are mainly men. I thought this was weird and told him that, he just laughed it off saying how those men are family to her.

It just seemed so weird to me to live with other men while her own boyfriend was stuck at home without her. I�ve expressed concern to him but he always just brushes it off saying how they�ve even had dinners with those men and their families.

I tried to tell him how she prefers working then being with him, he just won�t listen to me saying things like that�s what they agreed on since day one.

She recently came home so I went over to visit them, Kai had gone to the bathroom , I brought it up telling her that her career was above her own boyfriend, she laughed at me saying how she will always prioritise her career and that he knows it. I tried to just tell her she should be there for him more often instead of leaving with other men for six months and how Kai wouldn�t put up with her career forever. She just had this look on her face and told me that he won�t be leaving anytime soon since she bought their house in cash after �only� 4 years of working. Kai then came back and she told him everything I said, he told me to leave, I tried to explain myself but he shut the door on me.

I�ve tried contacting him since then, he hasn�t even showed up for work so I was worried. He just texted me back saying he left work and how his girlfriend is now converting their spare room into his own salon. I tried to explain myself but I was blocked. I just want my friend back.

AITA for kicking my sister out after she refused to babysit my son?

quote:

I (f30) live with my husband (m31) ans our son (m5), my sister (f22) is still in college and has to move out with us three months ago because she had some issues with her roommates. Things were going fine until this argument, also she doesn't work but my parents send her some money for textbooks and groceries although she barely ever has contributed to the household since she moved in with us. We also live in a different state from our parents and family so I'm basically throwing her in the streets by kicking her out which would make me a big rear end in a top hat.

So, my son comes back from school at around 3pm/3:30. My husband works until 6 and I work until 5 although sometimes I have to stay an hour or two extra (this is not normal, maybe three or four times per month when we're behind in a project). We had a babysitter that would wait until he's back (he comes back home via the school bus) and would stay with him until me or my husband come back from work. However she recently discovered she's sick and told us that she can't continue working as she has to go though treatment, we thanked her for telling us and wished she would get better soon.

I asked my sister to babysit our son until we can get a new babysitter giving that she doesn't have classes at that time. She told me she never agreed to babysit when she moved in here and that I should've told her beforehand so she could find somewhere else to live. I told her that I knew this wasn't out agreement but this was something exceptional since our babysitter has medical issues, it's not neither of our fault and she would prefer a 100 times to not be in this situation. She still told me she can't babysit because sometimes she has to go to the library or to study with friends and babysitting would limit her hours of studying. I got angry, maybe too angry, so I told her that we never ask anything from her, we helped her because we wanted to be kind with her, and yet she can't even compromise to stay a few hours home just until we find a new babysitter. I ended up telling her she has a week to leave because we will not be providing food or a roof to a bitch like her. One of my son's friend's mom is taking care of my son now, they go back to her home together and I pick him up later.

My sister tried to apologize but I told her I don't want to live with her because she showed me her true colors. She also have told our family and a lot of them are giving me poo poo for leaving my sister homeless. My husband, my in laws and friends support me but it feels hash if my family isn't on my side, makes me think I'm an rear end in a top hat to be honest.

AITA for refusing to change the name of my character on a role-playing game to make my friend more comfortable?

quote:

I love playing role-playing games, I think it's a really fun thing to do. I often only play one game and I love my character on it.

Everyone on the server knows me by that name so it's special to me.

I have a friend that I made at University since the start of the year. He is a nice person who I really enjoy hanging out with . He has the same name as my character.

Yesterday, I talked to him about the game and my character, he told me he also likes this type of game so I thought it might interest him.

After I told him my character's name and he immediately looked uncomfortable. He told me that the thought of me "playing with him" and making what I wanted with his name made him uncomfortable.

I told him that I understand but my character is special to me and a lot of people know me on the server by that name and that I don't have an in-game reason to have my character change his name. So I told him no.

He insisted, telling me that it was disgusting that I use his name when I have a friend that has the exact same name. (I played this game long before I met him.)

We changed the topic but he seems really cold to me now. He sent me a message saying " I hope playing a game was worth our friendship. I can't believe you're so selfish. "

I know it's petty, and that I'm fairly sure I'm the rear end in a top hat here. I could've just changed it, it's just a game.

If you are with a spouse they can run and go get something while you are waiting in line and it takes no extra time. Standing 10ft away does not give you a right to your spot in line because you are NOT in line.

The �cleaner� way to do it would have to start charging her market rent. Same result probably, but since she seems to be worried about perception that puts it back on the sister. Don�t babysit and pay rent, or babysit and don�t pay rent. There isn�t a third option.

If OP expected her to babysit for weeks/months, I might side with the sister, but OP says they've already set up interviews for a new sitter and it would have only been for 2 or 3 days. I do think they should give her more than a week to get out though.

AITA for exposing my sister�s sexual history to her newlywed husband and his conservative family?

quote:

Yeah I�m aware this title sounds extremely weird and gross but please bear with me. Also throwaway account because I don�t want my family to find this post.

My (M22) oldest sister Emma (F28 & not real name) got married last week to Mike (M31 & also not real name). Mike and I have a great relationship, as he has helped me with my studies since I met him back when I was 18. He is an engineer and I study the same program as he has in the same university. Despite having known him for 3 years I�ve grown to basically consider him as a brother I never had.

Given my love for Mike I hope this clears out any type of speculation that I did this out of spite of him.

Emma and I have not had a good relationship at any point in our lives. She has tormented me heavily during my early childhood, but the real issue was all her past boyfriends and any type of relationship adjacent to that. She would always sneak boys into the house and would force my other sister Jenna (25F & once again not real name) and I to cover for her.

I should also mention Mike and Emma only entered a relationship a year ago; when I first met Mike he was just a dude who was friendzoned.

Fast forward to the actual event being Mike and Emma�s wedding. Jenna and I sit beside a cousin we were both close with in our teenage years and haven�t seen in years. Our cousin kept asking us about some of her ex-boyfriends in a mocking way. This sparked up a huge conversation full of stories Jenna and I had on Emma�s many hookups.

Our cousin tells us to go outside with her as she needs a cigarette, so we continue our conversation there. Unfortunately, Mike also likes to smoke and overheard some of the stories, and we wouldn�t find out until later but Mike�s mother had also overheard Jenna telling the story of Emma�s pregnancy scare when she was 19 and how she told our father that it was Jenna�s pregnancy test in the bathroom bin.

Word spread quickly around Mike�s family, and a lot of his family including some of his siblings and his father have warned Mike to get an annulment. Emma is extremely furious at Jenna and I for slut-shaming, and is telling us that we knew Mike�s family was conservative so we screwed up everything by speaking of it aloud with the family present.

Mike is angry at me for not telling him about Emma�s history before. Jenna does not take any of this seriously which is understandable, but I have a close relationship with Mike and I would hate to lose it because of this. I have asked Mike if he wants to annul his marriage and he did not give me an answer. AITA?

EDIT: people have an issue with me using the term friendzone. English is not my native tongue so I misused the term. Sorry for the confusion. Mike and Emma were just friends for a couple of years.

I've seen the same thing happen a lot in grocery stores and such: new line opens, people shuffle over... except they then wave people who where ahead of them in line to go first, with a bit of a polite argument about "It's ok, I'm fine waiting here". Since we're not savages.
