AITA for not wanting to do the prank the bride is asking me to do during her wedding ceremony?

quote:

Sorry for any spelling or grammar mistakes, I don't have an excuse; I'm just terrible at writing.

I (23M) am one of the groomsmen for my best friend's (35M) wedding. His fianc� (33F) is a known jokester and likes pulling pranks that doesn't affect anyone beyond making us laugh. Stupid, funny things like this that she'd go out of her way to do to make us laugh. It's never anything harmful, and the farthest she's ever gone was "accidently" destroy the groom's lovely Toshiba laptop, and surprise him with a brand new modern Alienware one that he had been saving for two years for (she backed up everything and only destroyed the screen, so stuff could still be salvaged just in case).

Pretty sweet stuff, honestly. My friend is a bit more of the serious, logician type so she balances him out a lot. He finds her antics pretty amusing too, probably a driving factor in their relationship. Sorry for all this preamble, I'll get to the point.

So, neither of them really care for the ceremony aspect of a wedding. They're going to get a courthouse wedding, and save the money for a nice reception with only close friends and family. There's going to be three witnesses (me, the BM, and the MoH), and the wedding will have at most four-five more friends and some of the groom's family.

The bride was all for this as she can get really anxious in big events like this, but she still feels like it's not something to really "write home about". So, she wants to pull a pretty notable prank by having a dramatic objection or something during the ceremony. Since I'll be the only single one there, she wants me to do the objection thing, seem like I'm going for her, and then--plot twist!--vie for the groom.

Then she wants us to do a sword fight for his hand??? I wish I was joking, but she and the groom actually have a sizable sword collection, and she said she'd get her MoH to sneak two of the smaller ones. The MoH (who was there while the bride was talking to me) interjected and said it was a stupid idea.

Relief.

She'd get fake swords, since there could be issues in smuggling actual weapons. Plus, she'd run it by the officiant and whoever else she'd have to at the courthouse to make sure not too much of a commotion was created.

Stress.

I, admittedly, am a bit of a doormat and didn't outright say no at first and I was hoping the MoH would say something. Then, I realized I needed to pull my big boy pants and say no. Which, I did! Yay! They weren't happy, and not in an angry way, but in a way that made me feel immediately guilty. Not yay. I stupidity offered to think of a different joke to pull.

They've added me into a group chat where I've constantly tried reiterating how I didn't feel comfortable with the pranks and they'd try to reassure me, trying to get me to reconsider. The MoH is calling me an rear end in a top hat for not following the bride's wishes, as are one other mutual friend who the bride talked to about this. It's getting harder and harder to stick to my no. So, AITA?

AITA for blowing up on my husband�s friend after her wife died?

quote:

My (36f) husband Ian (44m) is close friends with a woman named Jenna. They�ve been friends for a long time, before Ian and I got together, so I know her fairly well too but we really have nothing in common and we�re not exactly friends.

Jenna�s wife Laura very sadly and somewhat suddenly passed in early March (she was terminally ill but responding to treatment very well and was expected to survive another 2-5 years).

She�s been leaning on Ian heavily for support which I understand but she�s been at our house every single day since & even sleeping in our guest room most nights because she doesn�t want to be home alone. which would be okay except she is getting more and more passive aggressive towards me and weirdly territorial of Ian. I�ve reminded myself that I don�t think I could stand to see a happy couple for months if I lost Ian and to be patient, it�s not personal.

My birthday was on Sunday. I got home Saturday after a morning out and Jenna was there. I was making small talk when i asked Ian what time he made dinner reservations for the next day. Jenna inserted herself right here and asked Ian if he was going to be out the next day and he said yes. She started panicking and saying that he couldn�t and she wasn�t ready to spend an evening alone. I was going to tell her that she could still hang out here while we gone and she looked at me and said �don�t you have any loving friends you can go with?�

And I just blew tf up�. �don�t you have any other loving friends you can go bother?� and so on; she called me selfish for �monopolizing my husband� and I had enough and told her to get the gently caress out of my house and not to come back, ever.

Ian had been trying to calm things down between us but it spiraled out of control fast and he ended up escorting Jenna out and telling her that he�d come visit her in a few days but he would be backing my decision because of how she spoke to me.

I was happy for his support and still am but it�s been a few days and I just feel bad all around about it. I should�ve been more understanding of her but I also feel like she should treat me more respectfully and I�m not really sure if I overreacted

here's a good stepdad story
AITA for calling out my stepdad's parents for how they talk about me and telling them they should be more honest around my mom and their son?

quote:

Sorry if the title doesn't make sense. I'll do my best to clear it up.

I (17f) have a blended family. My mom brought me and my two half siblings (10 and 8) into her marriage with Mark 2 years ago. Mark also had two kids when they met. My younger siblings and my stepsiblings call Mark and my mom "mom and dad". My stepsiblings mom is only sort of present in their lives. She lives in another state and doesn't really keep in touch with them often. They can sometimes go over a year without seeing or hearing from her and they don't remember her being more present so to them, my mom is their mom. My siblings feel the same way about Mark because they don't remember their dad.

I was 12 when my mom and Mark met, 13 when I met Mark and 15 when they got married. Because of my age and being used to not having a dad, I never saw Mark as my dad. I don't call him dad, I don't introduce him as my dad either. Mark doesn't care. We have a good, solid relationship. But it's different to the one he has with my younger siblings and stepsiblings. My mom also doesn't care and she was really instrumental in everything being open and clear to both Mark and me when they were dating and figuring out how to blend things.

Mark's parents do not like me. They hide it incredibly well. Like they have never said anything or shown this directly when my mom, Mark or I are around. I was helping Mark with some errands recently and I met someone from his parents church who scolded me out of nowhere. It really took me by surprise because I had seen this person twice, maybe, and didn't even know their name. Mark doesn't either. But she recognized me and she told me it was disgusting how I treat Mark. I was so shocked. She told me it wasn't surprising they (Mark's parents) didn't like being around me and found my attitude repulsive. She walked away before I could ask any questions.

A couple of weeks after that I saw Mark's parents out running their own errands and heard them talk to someone else about how awful I was. They accused me of disrespecting Mark, they said I was a teenage terror who was out to make everyone's lives hell. They made some wild accusations.

Then that weekend they were over at our house acting totally normal. Mark's mom gave my brother her phone and he saw a contact saved under 👿. I called the phone and sure enough it was me. This is when I spoke up and I called out Mark's parents for how they talk about me and I told them they should be more honest around us about what they think of me really. Mark asked me what was going on and I told him about their church friend and what I heard them say about me. Mark was furious with his parents but they were furious that I didn't stay quiet because they're allowed to find it disgusting and rude that I won't accept their son fully. Mark and my mom kicked them out but Mark's parents said I was stirring poo poo.

AITA?

I mean it depends on your definition of "religious conflict" I guess? Finland, Estonia, and Latvia are all majority Lutheran, even if most are non-practicing nowadays. And they've all had pretty tumultuous histories with their Orthodox neighbour. Although I suspect whatever religious animosity there is, it's all completely drowned out by the general anti-Russian sentiments.

There's two official national churches in Finland: Lutheran and Orthodox. There's zero tension regarding Orthodox Christianity.

AITA for not taking my son to a gig because he wouldn�t shower?

quote:

Me (44F) and my son (17) had planned to go see a band tonight. I brought the tickets months ago and we�ve both been looking forwards to it. We were both going to finish work early and be out early enough for food before the gig. He loves sushi so I had found a great place to go - I would have paid. I have been in meetings all day so got spruced up at lunchtime so that I could finish at 5pm and jump straight in the car with my son. I heard him walk from work at 4pm - he has an apprenticeship as a machinist. Super proud of him but he comes home smelling of oil. I knocked on his door at 4:30 to say we would be leaving in 30 mins. He called from the bathroom to say no worries - I assume he�s getting showered. At 5pm I finish my meeting and knock on to say let�s go. He�s lay in bed with clearly no sign of getting showered, shaved or dressed. My son is amazing but a little on the lazy side when it comes to personal hygiene. (Typical behaviour) His reasons for not showering is that he has long (chest length) hair and it takes too long to dry - he has a hair dryer. My son not showering is a constant topic of my nagging. Though it�s about the only thing I nag him for... He�s wonderful in all other ways. And so it�s this reason where I think I�ve cut my nose off to spite my face� I told him if he couldn�t be bothered to shower and make an effort then we won�t bother going. (It had been 2 days since his last shower) So Reddit... AITA?

My brother's like this. He just hates "wasting time" showering. It took his first girlfriend refusing to kiss him multiple times because he smelled bad before he realized there were impacts to being gross and started to be more on top of it

WIBTA If I Didn't let My Wife Drive On Our Road Trip?

quote:

We (39m, 38f, 11m, 10m, and 8f) are going to visit my wife's aunt next Wednesday. The drive is about 12 hours.

My wife has been recently starting to ask me about the actual driving. I love my wife and all that, but I am not confident in her driving skills. She like, takes signs such as stop signs, speed limits, yield signs, and stuff like that as "advice" isntead of "rules." Since June of 2023, she's gotten in two at-fault accidents. Also, she's a phone driver.

Yetserday when asked abouit it, I told my wife it may be for the best if I stick to the driving for the most part, and maybe she drives when I need a break or get tired or whatever. She absolutely went off on me, saying I'm treating her like an "unknowing teenager" and she went to our room and locked the door, and didn't open it until I actually needed to sleep.

Ii kind of feel bad, but at the same time, If she was by herself, I'd jsut say "poo poo go ahead" but with my kids in the picture the goal is to keep them safe. So I'm comign to reddit, the healer of marriages to see if im wrong.

AITA?

Stop treating me like a teenager (Storms to room, locks door, sobs loudly)

AITA for telling my stepbrother he doesn't have the right to pressure me into being adopted by his mom?

quote:

Starting with background: My parents were best friends for many years and were never in a relationship. But in college they had a drunken one night stand and I (16m) am the result. They didn't try to make a romantic relationship work but stayed friends and I was always told they loved each other but they weren't in love with each other and they made a great team of parents for me. I was 1 when my mom went missing. She had some mental health issues and nobody knows what happened to her. She's a missing person still 15 years later. Her parents, siblings and my dad never gave up the search for her and they still hope we'll find out one day. I grew up very close to my maternal grandparents and aunts and uncles. My dad stayed close to them too.

My dad met my stepmom when I was 4 and married her when I was 7, after living together for a year (since I was 6). My stepmom had a son two years older than me, my stepbrother. He never knew his dad and does not consider my dad to be his dad. I don't consider my stepmom to be my mom either. But I do love her. My stepmom asked to adopt me three times. Once after the wedding, another time when I was 10 and then when I turned 16. I said no to the adoption each time.

My stepbrother has taken so much offense on his mom's behalf for this. He told me his mom has been raising me and treating me as her son for 10 years now and longer really, and I should let her adopt me and I should let her have that level of legal connection with me. He told me it makes her feel like poo poo when I reject her in favor of a missing woman I don't remember and who could have just chosen to leave me behind for all any of us know. He told me I was an ungrateful brat and I act like I'm a petulant 6 year old and his mom deserves better. I argued that I could say the same about him being adopted by my dad. He told me he made it clear to my dad from day one he didn't want him to be his dad. I asked him why it was different for him and not for me, he said because my dad doesn't live in anyone's shadow.

We argued a few times about this but the last time was a few days ago and my stepmom was there and I fired back that my stepbrother doesn't have the right to pressure me into being adopted by his mom. My stepmom got upset and my stepbrother called me a dick.

I found out after this that my dad never knew that my stepmom had asked to adopt me. He was also upset that I was being pressured into this. My stepmom said I was rude to my stepbrother. My stepbrother told our half siblings and they're upset about the whole thing too. This has become such a mess and my mom's family have been insulted in all of this too and I hate it all.

But AITA for what I said to him?

Me thinks Stepmom has been feeding her son skewed information.

AAM stories

quote:

Wasn�t me but a guy I knew. He was a fan of certain �mind altering vegetation,� as was his coworker. He agreed to sell some to his coworker and soon became �the guy� at the auto repair place. One of the managers noticed him always having quick little chats with his coworkers and ran in the complete wrong direction with it and thought my friend was trying to organize a union and he (the manager) was going to stop that.

So my friend was terrified he was going to get fired until he realized that retaliating against him for selling pot was totally legal but retaliating against him for pro-union activity wasn�t. And so, to protect himself from being fired for being mistaken as a union organizer, he organized a union.

quote:

I worked in a specialty retail industry for many years. It�s common practice in the industry to include as part of the compensation package a monthly store credit. At another store in our community, a department manager who worked at her store for years never used her store credit, just letting it accrue. When she left, she cashed it all in to basically clean out the department�s stock and used it to start a rival wholesale business.

quote:

When I worked as a baker at a small-ish independent bakery, the owners decided that we would start wholesaling our baked goods to all of the local branches of a prolific chain coffee shop. Our production went through the roof, but we were a shop known for doing everything from scratch, so some processes became absolutely ridiculous. One of these was zesting citrus fruit for flavoring our scones and muffins. Zesting became someone�s full-time (absolutely torturous) job. We went through a case of lemons and half a case of oranges every single day just for their zest. All of our microplanes were as dull as could be after a few short weeks of this, making the job of zesting even more difficult.

Our bakery manager at the time found a fancy French company that produced packages of frozen zest, but she was afraid the owners wouldn�t go for it. So she prepared two batches of lemon scones to compare the fresh zest with the frozen zest� except she didn�t. She actually used the frozen zest in both batches. The owners were amazed that they couldn�t taste the difference and agreed to switch to using the frozen zest. It saved us so much unpleasant physical labor, I think back so fondly on that manager�s actions.

quote:

My first full-time job after high-school was in a small business where I was bullied by a much older colleague for months. One incident involved an email in which she said some awful (and brazen) things about me and another colleague in an email to our manager. Management did nothing and I jumped at the first opportunity to leave. In my exit interview, I said the boss needed to fire her (I was the fifth person to leave because of her) but he was unreceptive.

So in my final week I pulled the email up on my computer and purposefully left it for a colleague to see. Specifically, the biggest gossip in the office. When she asked me about it I asked her to not tell the others, but said it was why I was leaving. As predicted, the whole team learned of the bullying and was outraged, and my bully was made redundant within three months.

quote:

Early in my career, I worked in a department that recycled a lot of paper daily; as such, we had a large recycle bin near the door. People from other departments on the floor would also dump their office recycling there. One of these departments had an admin assistant who was absolutely terrible at her job and a bit odd to boot. I came back from lunch one day to find her rummaging through our recycle bin and assumed that she was looking for something she accidentally tossed. A few days later, she did it again. A few days after that, she did it AGAIN. It got to the point that she was going through our recycling a couple of times a week and spending a good 10-15 minutes digging through the bin every time. I asked her once what she was looking for and she said �nothing � I�m just looking!�

Finally, one of my coworkers and I had had enough of her snooping. My coworker wrote a note to me on the office�s official memo paper (this was back in the days before email) that said �I caught the admin assistant going through the recycling again � should we tell her boss?� I crumpled it up and stuck it a few layers down in the bin. The recycle bin diving stopped immediately, but the dirty looks continued for months.

It can't even be poo poo like, "boy howdy, my son's step daughter is a handful. She talks back and is always in trouble at school." It's gotta be really nasty poo poo for a stranger to confront her about it. Even if she is a colossal pain in the rear end or out of control, those step parents are way out of line. Unless the kid is a completely unreliable narrator and criminally misbehaving, of course.

e: should've scrolled past the end of the story first

Hella same.

But also, as someone with long hair - you don't wash it daily. A few times a week at most. Shower daily at minimum! And wash your rear end in a top hat!

Armpits, rear end in a top hat, crotch, and teeth.

Ah yes courthouses, places that are definitely willing to differentiate between replica and real weapons and also tolerant of fights.

The fiancé doesn't seem to know what a "courthouse wedding" is and entails, other than that, it could be a fun idea, as long as it's fake/practice swords, and everyone's down with it.

One of my groomsmen just took up swordfighting (like renfaire stuff) as a hobby, and there's tons of pictures of us on "dates" being all cuddly, me holding him in my arms like a baby in a giant Christmas ornament etc. and he'd be incredibly enthusiastic about "swordfighting" my finance for my affections.

Sometimes it's a combo of the three. My son is 18, medicated ADHD, and I have added "Shower" to his chore list on a schedule. Waiting for him to do it himself is a losing proposition for everyone.

I'm tickled by tbe reality that there are legal adults out there who are younger than their parents SA forum account

Being a grown man and woman and having a mean girls club meeting all over town about a teenager is so pathetic it's hard to even read that story.

Unfortunately, this just seems to be the most common hobby of boomers these days.
