What's The Most Insensitive AITA Post You've Ever Seen? 

The woman who helped her stepdaughter get ready in the morning. Stepdaughter was 11 and had beautiful butt length hair, and took very good care of it. She used decent shampoo, conditioner, and used argon oil on it, and OP sees all this is way too expensive. All OP had to do in the morning was brush it through and plait it for her. Well, OP decides UNILATERALLY, that she doesn't wanna get up 10 minutes earlier in the morning to her SD, so she takes her to the hair dresser and informs SD on the way there that she's having her hair cut to shoulder length! When OP told the hair dresser to cut it to shoulder length, the hair dresser sees SD is balling her eyes out and is VERY reluctant to cut it that short. Hair dresser does it anyway even though she clearly doesn't want to. When they get home, SD runs to her room and crys and crys . She's still crying when dad gets home. SD tells dad what happened and dad is, rightfully, furious with the OP. OP gives dad the same bs excuse she gave in the post and he simply tells OP that if she was struggling to get up in the morning she should have gone to him and he'd have helped instead. He also tells OP that HE pays for the hair products and had absolutely no problem spending the money on it. In the end, he takes SD and leaves the house for a few days. She can't see what the problem is because "It's only hair!" The OP comes back a day or so later saying that her husband has left her because he can't trust her with SD. Christ, did she get obliterated in the comments! I remember reading it and being so applauded I couldn't speak for a minute or so. I was so angry with the OP, and my heart broke for this poor 11 year old child!

The story I’m still pissy about. OP was planning her wedding and apparently it was tradition to invite her whole class. OP was good with that, except she didn’t want to invite one girl who was mean to OP and even made her cry in class. OP’s friends called OP TA for trying to exclude her and it was tradition to have the whole class for the wedding, and the commenters called OP TA, siding with the friend in inviting the mean girl. In the update, OP said she did invite the mean girl, they were civil enough at the wedding, then after the reception, that mean mean girl announced she was pregnant. F the commenters who bullied OP into inviting that mean girl, it was her wedding, she should invite who she wants.

I recall one post, written from the perspective of a woman, whose partner was not allowed to have many toys when he was growing up thanks to his controlling father. As an adult, the partner now COLLECTS the toys he was not allowed to have. Which was fine until the woman decided that she wanted to use his toy room for something else. When the partner did not want to remove his toys from the room, she contacted the controlling father, and the two of them took all the toys out of the room under the cover of night and donated them to a thrift store. And now the partner was upset. As someone with my own collection (but, fortunately, not a father controlling, mean, or stupid enough to do such a thing) that one just made me ANGRY to listen to. Forget a breakup; the woman was lucky if she wasn't sued.

I remember a story where the OP (NTA) told us that he had a little pet snake that he grew up with (the snake is a ball python, known for their friendliness and small size) that his SO was scared of, but she still chose to move in with him. He made sure his pet was out of the way, so it wouldn't bother her but that still wasn't enough. The woman kept saying the snake is satanic and evil and "made the vibes bad". One day, the snake went missing and the woman insisted it must've escaped but was strangely calm about it. Through updates, we found out that she eventually admitted to having taken the snake, stabbed it, and threw it into a lake. She kept saying "we can get a gecko instead". The man went to the lake to rescue his childhood pet and found the poor thing. It was barely alive and soon died in his hands. Everyone and their mother was telling this man to leave this bitch. He did.

I remember seeing this one about a dad who had a 20 year old daughter living with them. The daughter had severe mental health struggles and so eventually (because OP didn’t like dogs) they let her get a dog as emotional support. One day the dog mysteriously got out and got into an accident. OP being the dog hater that he is decided to put the dog down because “he couldn’t justify spending hundreds of dollars on a dog” yet he also wouldn’t allow the daughter who was absolutely distraught when they told her btw to pay for the surgery that would save the dog herself because “a job would stress her out”. The poor girl was absolutely heartbroken even though OP thinks she’s fine because he got her her favorite fast food and she didn’t want another dog after what he did. “So obviously she wasn’t THAT emotionally attached to it”. I have NEVER seen a bigger a-hole on this sub although there are a lot of worthy contenders I will say that.

I'm surprised no one's brought up the story where a husband played video games at home for 8 hours while his pregnant wife worked, cooked, cleaned, and took care of their other 3 kids. He asked reddit if he was justified for complaining about having meatloaf for the fourth night in a row, and that she never had time for him. Reddit tore him a new one and apparently the wife found the post. Then they went to counselling.

The dad who parentafied (spelling?) His oldest daughter and forced her to give up her high school activities after her mom died so she could look after her brothers while dad worked. He promised her he'd find childcare so she could attend her prom, but "forgot" amd worked late instead, only to come home to her crying in her prom dress. He was shocked when she moved several hours away for college. The story ended with the daughter talking to one of her brothers over zoom call about how dad made her miss the prom. He barged in and told her to essentially get over it, showing he still doesn't see what he did wrong.

I grounded my son for a year for painting his nails, he hasn’t spoken to me since. It made me so mad. Basically son of op had started experimenting with his own style for a few years and settled on a more alternative one with baggy t-shirts, chains and the like. After op spent a few paragraphs ranting about how he hated son’s style and how he was disgusted by it he opened the next sentence with’ I’m not homophonic or anything’. Instant red flag. Went on to talk about how he thought his son was gay and how he that affect his view of his son even though the son hadn’t come out or even remotely hinted at being gay. Also had a problem with most of the son’s friends being girls thinking he couldn’t be a man like him if the son only had female friends. One day son came home with light blue painted nails and op flips out. Son stands up for himself and op grounds him for a year. No phone, no going out, no nothing. Think the most shocking part was that op was surprised his son moved out as soon as he can and cuts contact.

"It's just a cat/dog/goldfish." GET IN THE BIN. Do not pass go, do not collect $200. Go directly to the bin and put yourself in it.

The guy in Story 32 admitted that he burned the comfort blanket, was happy for a second that he finally did it, then when his girlfriend/fiancé came home and was panicking because she couldn't find it, he faked looking for it for a few days/a week/I honestly don't remember how long before trying to replace it and coming clean to her. She left him, rightfully so I might add, not because he destroyed something precious to her, but because he lied about it and made her look and feel like a fool. I'm really proud of her for distancing herself from someone who radiates such toxicity. And yes, this ass-hair tried to justify himself, but was downvoted into oblivion.

There was a story where the op was throwing a party for their bestie and wanted to make room in a refrigerator for the cake. Op decided that it would be okay to take the roommate’s insulin out of the fridge. When the roommate showed up and got upset because the insulin had likely been ruined by being left out. OP was upset because he decided the roommate was overreacting and had ‘killed the vibe’ for the party by getting upset. They were sure they knew more about diabetes and insulin than the diabetic roommate.

Story 17 actually has a happy ending. Op‘s patents had just had an argument about the mom‘s past affair and Op came in at a bad time leading to his dad blowing up at him. Dad later apologies and said that Op was still his son and that he would get to go to college like his siblings. Op‘s siblings also promised to support him if the parents wouldn’t have.

I remember seeing one about a woman who (and these were her exact words) took her autistic niece to the mall, because it was "every little girls dream." Niece knew she would get overstimulated (she was 10 at the time) and the mom proceeded to cuss her out for driving all the way there (20 minutes) for a surprise visit so they could bond. Afterwards, the mom thought she was completely justified and asked on AITA based on her friend's recommendation. After literally no comment supported her, she made an edit to the post claiming "nobody here knows what they're talking about, and that she knows she was justified and the cussing out was warranted and needed." As someone who works with kids with autism, that sent me into a rage. I had to take a break from the internet for a day or two after that because I couldn't use it without wanting to punch that woman.

I remember the medication story. The roommate was a religious nut who thought op should pray more to get over her problems. Op reported her to campus police and the roommate was kicked out of the dorms and had to be taken home by her parents. The parents were not religious, but the roommate had become obsessed due to a relationship she was in.

Story 2. I brought my dog to the vet and the vet said he had a terminal illness, but I wasn't ready, so I brought him back home. 16 months later he was still alive. The vet couldn't believe it. Not all pets die immediately with a terminal illness. Let go when you're ready, not when the vet is ready.

I remember one where the son was falsely accused by the stepdaughter of sexual abused her for years. The parents believed the stepdaughter without any evidence. The son was expelled from college, lost his friends and also arrested and put on the sex offender list. Eventually the stepdaughter confessed to the lie and the punishment that she got was moving out of state and no inheritance. The son was depressed, barely ate and was a shell of his former self. The son took his own life. The post was I helped ruin my son's life.

I’m also surprised no one brought up the one where the daughter asked her mom to answer her cellphone for her and saw a discord message from the daughter’s boyfriend and mistook it as being a message from another guy and, without asking her daughter, looked through her phone, found no evidence of the daughter cheating and told the daughter’s boyfriend she was cheating. Then when the daughter was dumped and the daughter cleared up the mom’s wrong perception about her “infidelity” the mom doubled down and told her daughter this was a valuable lesson she could learn from. The mom only fixed things when a friend of the daughter found the post and called out OP and threatened her to fix it within 24 hours or she would expose the mom.

Nothing will beat the absolute insanity of the man who almost murdered his wife (the op of the post) over the fact that she didn’t like mustard.

I have too many: - The OP who refused to let her daughter go to the funeral of her ex-husband and say goodbye to her own dad because OP didn’t like her ex-in-laws. The in-laws didn’t like her because she filed for divorce when her ex-husband was diagnosed with cancer, and then refused to let the daughter see him. - The OP who ditched her boyfriend right after his mom died because she had scheduled a vacation during this time and she didn’t see what she had done was wrong because “he wasn’t that close to his mom”. OP accepted her YTA judgment but then didn’t talk to her bf about it for _3 months,_ after which he said he just wanted to move on from this. She dumped him because “realized she didn’t fully love him”. The poor guy ended up taking his own life - The OP who made her daughter’s wedding about her because the daughter refused to invite OP’s boyfriend (who was her AP) to the wedding. What made this OP an extra asshole was that she was still legally married to her husband (the daughter’s father) but refused to get a divorce from the father because she wanted to collect his military benefits when he died. - The OP who canceled her stepson’s 13th birthday party because he “facepalmed” a question she asked. She accidentally revealed in comments that she actually wasn’t ready to host the party, and had used the facepalm as an excuse to cover this fact up. She ended up hosting a joint birthday party between the stepson and her own bio daughter - who was turning 8. - The OP who humiliated her boyfriend at his birthday party by gifting him a strap-on in front of his friends (the bf was into this but _no one but OP_ knew this). The OP later updated and said she was still with her bf and that she had convinced him that his friends were “toxic” for “not accepting him” just because they had been shocked by the gift, and as a result the bf had cut off his friends. When Reddit pointed out that this was classic abuser behavior, OP’s replies boiled down to “you’re all just jealous that I have a man and you don’t”. - The PS5 saga. It’s waaaaaay to long to summarize here. - The OP who ate someone else’s birthday cake before it was served because of her “pregnancy cravings”. What’s worse is that there were other sweet treats in the pantry that she could have had instead. - The OP who complained to Reddit because everyone in her life - her kids and even her own parents - wanted to spend time with her ex-husband’s new girlfriend and avoided OP. Turns out OP admitted in the comments that she broke her marriage by having a _3-year long affair_ to the point that she neglected her own children to spend time with her AP. And she freely admitted it in comments because in her mind this was all her ex-AP’s fault and not hers. - The OP who caused her boyfriend to have a car accident because she wanted a McFlurry. No joke, she whined at him for a McFlurry, then grabbed the steering wheel _while he was driving_ and jerked it, causing the bf to hit another car. Yeah…too many.

I saw a post like this on Quora once. A woman said that her 7-year-old daughter had drawn her a picture for her birthday, and she had torn it up and said it was ugly and was asking how she could get her daughter to stop crying. Probably just a bot instead of a real person, but you never know...

Oh, I remember one where the OP was complaining that her husband was giving their young five-year-old son special treatment because he was deaf. “The special treatment” was the husband stopping the kid from running into traffic and actually parenting the kid. She was ripped a new one in the commons

not sure if it was AITA but the one about the "father" who sold the daughter's drawing tablet that she was using to make decent money and had bought herself. i don't know why but that one just really gets under my skin.

I don't know if you're ever gonna do another one of these, but the one I most remember is the one where the husband burned or threw away everything (except pictures) that his wife recieved from her dead mother, just six months after her passing. There were a lot of boxes. They lined the walls of the house, as well as filled a supply closet. The wife was awash in grief, and the husband thought it was time for her to `just get over it`, so when the wife was gone, he either threw away or burned almost everything in the boxes. This included a lot of family heirlooms, as well as the family history, which the mother was collecting before her death. When the wife gets home, he is suprised when she doesn't talk to him anymore...

A few: -"Do it for Dan!" Where the OP's younger brother is the golden child and when he was homeless, the family wouldn't help, but when OP bought a house, the parents and brother (plus a Karen wife and entitled kids) decided OP would give his house to his brother's family since they were living with the parents."Do it for Dan!" was repeated many times. -the one where the OP was basically forgotten about by his parents when his little sister was born after their mom almost died during the pregnancy. The sister became spoiled. The parents basically gave the sister all of OP's birthdays and he broke down at a Chuck'e'Cheese for "his" 18th birthday party. Sister was sent off to boarding school after destroying his car given to him by his grandpa. -the one where OP's husband becomes obsessed with her boss and stalks her. She breaks it off with him, and he lies to get with the boss. OP tells her boss about how her ex is obsessed with her, and the boss is shaken because he'd lied about how they'd met. The ex gets unhinged when the boss dumps him because he's a creepy stalker. -the one where OP just had a baby girl and her best friend had been dry nursing her baby while babysitting. OP is understandably weirded out. The "friend" says the baby is THEIR daughter, and she "needs" her breast milk and OP needs to stop nursing when her milk supply comes in. Totally unhinged! OP blocks her out of her life completely. -and lastly, the one where OP's son and his wife have a baby, and OP is such an entitled Karen, that she gets mad and increasingly delusional when her son decides to not answer her texts and such because his wife had an emergency C-section and horrible blood pressure. The OP keeps digging herself into a hole when she tries to squat in her son's house so they can't move and cut off all contact with her after she harassed them for months

I remember the story about a dad that destroyed his entire sons life. The dad remarried and the new wife had a daughter a few years younger than the son. The son leaves for collage and the daughter come to the parents saying he R-worded her. Dad instantly calls police, son is arrested and put in jail for weeks, collage expels him because of the police report. Police interviews learn the daughter made the entire thing up. Son gets released, rumours spread and friends cut ties with him, collage refuses to re-admit him saying he has to wait, daughter leaves parents house and son has to move back because he has no one and nowhere else to go. Dad only realised how badly he messed up his son’s life when he picks up the sons anti-depressant prescription. Dad continues to promise to make it up to the son like it is something that can be fixed

The one I remember is op was a grandma and was upset that her son wouldn't come pick her up and take her to the hospital, leaving his wife alone after a difficult birth. She got upset again because they didn't want her to come over once they were home because the wife needed to rest. The whole time, she basically blamed her dil and thought her son was spinless and just doing what his wife wanted. It came to a point where she was in the legal advice sub asking about grandparents' rights and was even talking to someone about trying to get custody over her grandchild. The parents caught wind of this and basically went NC with her. Her final post was once again in legal advice asking if it was legal to hire a Pi because the parents had moved, and she wanted to find their new address.

I remember the one the woman's family was planning for her to die Basically her husband's dad was a widower and raised son alone and put in his son's head that he would be the same so the man was already prepared for her to die It was so sickening lke if i remember well the husband would straight up tell doctors if anything happened to save the kid and not her The fact we NEVER got an update still worries me to this day

Not on reddit but witnessed this in real life. My neighborhood grandma (not actually related but well loved) had invited everyone over for Thanksgiving one year to meet her new grandbaby just born the month prior. Her son was one of those health nuts who'd workout everyday and hated fat people. Throughout the prep cooking her dil would help and nibble on some of the food even tho she was still healing from giving birth. Her husband kept taking food out of her hands and even told her that if she didn't stick to her diet shed be walking home alone. It would have taken her hours to do so. This man had her on an extreme diet to get back her size 4-6 body (she was a size 10) by starving her: one egg white with plain coffee for breakfast, salad for lunch no meat no dressing small enough to fit in a coffee cup plain salad, and half a potato with a slice of plain chicken for dinner. She was very visually pale and swaying on her feet so grandma kept sneaking her food and scolding her son for treating his wife like that. Everything came to head when he found in the cabinet eating a small slice of pie and mashed potatoes tossed her food in the trash and told her if he found her eating ANYTHING other then broth and spinach he'd take the kids home and leave her. To answer that she grabbed a chunk of turkey stuffed it in her mouth without breaking eye contact and chased it with a beer. He called an ungrateful witch got in the car and left. His mom fixed her a plate of food and she finally had a real meal for the first time since leaving the hospital. They divorced within a year

The one about the woman who’s brother died as a teen on his birthday so her parents decided no one was ever allowed to have birthday again. She got married, had a baby and the family expected her to enforce this on her kid. Her husband convinced her to let him do something for the baby’s first birthday and she was like yes but it has to be a secret. The parents found out because her husband posted on insta. She blew up at her husband, I felt so bad for him, he just wanted to celebrate his baby! Everyone was telling OP she and her family need therapy and she said they did go to therapy but by therapy she meant church. It was such a mess.

I don't think it was an AITA story, but the one I will never forget is the parents who gave their son's birthdays to their spoiled younger daughter. Every year, she would blow out his candles and open his presents, and he was just expected to let her have whatever she wanted. He also wasn't really allowed to have a life, as if she needed something, he was expected to drop everything to take care of her. Even other events that were supposed to be about OP were made all about her, including his high school graduation. It all came to a head on OP's 18th birthday, when he broke down crying at Chuck E Cheese. His parents had insisted they go to Chuck E Cheese over OP's favorite restaurant, and when the cake came out all decorated in pink and placed in front of her to blow out the candles, he ran out of the restaurant crying. It was only now that the rest of the family realized that OP had been forced to give his birthdays to his sister, instead of him just willingly doing this for her out of the kindness of his own heart. The rest of the family went outside to talk to and comfort him, while the parents stayed inside to cut the cake and serve their daughter. When they finally did go outside, they were mad at OP for causing a scene. The rest of the family tore into them, but they still didn't get it until they went back inside and saw that not only was the sister eating cake, but she'd already opened all of OP's presents and was playing with his new phone someone got him. She threw a tantrum when she was finally told no for the first time in her life, and the family ripped into the parents again for raising such a spoiled brat. The parents started crying and apologizing to OP, but the damage had already been done The story doesn't even end there. OP went to live with his grandparents after that, and the grandpa bought and fixed up an older car for OP. The parents had kept apologizing to OP, so eventually OP decided to go back home and give them another chance. When the sister saw the car, she wanted to drive it. Mind you, she was 10. The parents did stay true to their word and told her no, but then she goes and takes... I forget if it was a crowbar or a bat or something, and destroys the car. The parents ended up shoving her off to boarding school, where she continued acting like a spoiled brat. To this day, OP still hates celebrating his birthday, because he can't get over the trauma of having to give them to his sister for 8 whole years.

Story 1 reminds me of another story I read on Reddit where the wife had her jaw wired shut and her husband had her making meals for him and their children (OP could not have solids and her diet was mostly broths and such). When she asked him if he could just make dinner not even the other meals she was making for her children he said he couldn’t because he had to work all day. So she would go to the store to buy all this food for meals she couldn’t eat. A Reddit comment suggested that she only makes what she can eat for her family so that the husband could see what it was like for her (she would only do this for dinners and make lunches for everyone). For the first few nights it was fine then he started to complain! I don’t recall how the story ends but the guy sounded emotionally manipulative and she kept trying to make excuses for him.

The sister of OP who worked as a nurse in the birthing room and kept ranting to OP about how stupid some of the women that had given birth were. OP actually reported her to her workplace when she found out her sister had slut-shamed a 17 year old girl. In an update, OP cut contact with the sister after the sister came to her house screaming that she’d lost her job because of OP and during her angry rant it came out the 17-year olds baby had DIED. OP had a breakdown because she herself was pregnant and just imagining the agony that poor girl had to have gone through had her in tears.

Kind of tame compared to the rest of these, but there was one in which a guy was going on a flight with his wife and kids and got first class all of a sudden because he had used them for so many business trips. Rather than not taking it or sharing it with his wife, he just left his wife stuck with two rowdy toddlers during a seven hour flight while he sat up in his first class seat. His wife was justifiably mad at him and he was wondering if he was the asshole.

The sock person is even worse. She was like a kindergarten teacher and she would wear printed socks and matching clothes for what they were learning. People in the comments said she was a real life Ms Frizzle.

The one where OP pretty much chose her cheater mother over the father who loved and raised her to be at her wedding. She was somehow ruled as NTA. Her father paid for her college and her wedding and she waited until after the check cleared to spring it on him. Her defense was “My Mom was never mean to me.” And when called out that she has no idea how it feels to be cheated on, she doubled down. “Daddy, I know Mom tore your heart out, kicked it around like a hacky sack, dropped it in the dirt, squatted down and took a crap on it then stuffed it back in your chest, but, like, get over it, ok? For my wedding?”

This guy wanted to know if he was the a-hole for throwing his girlfriend’s handmade pouch away. The pouch was made of the umbilical cord that came with her when she was born and contained the butt of the last cigarette that her dad smoked before he died. It was in their keepsake box so it didn’t stink up the entire place, but the smell bothered OP so much that he threw it away. If I recall correctly, the OP was able to get it back from the garbage dump and give it back to her, but his relationship was beyond repair. She threw porcupine quills all over the house and on his side of the bed and told him to never contact her again, lest her brothers come and beat him up. I think he was in the psychiatric ward the last time he posted.

The woman with the family convinced she would die in child birth, did end up updating. She said that she had left after consulting reddit and a few other people/sources, and was working on getting restraining/protection orders

Still appalled about the husband who goes to food banks when he makes decent money and his excuse was basically "well they were too slow", the girlfriend who put her fingers in homemade custards and fillings her boyfriend was making for his sister's bakery, and the girlfriend who thought it was "cute" to take a bite out if his food. Like he made a cake, sliced it up to share with his friends and she took a bite out of every slice. Oh and the father who said his daughter's cooking was horrible and nothing like her mother's/ his wife's. His wife had just died and he tried to turn his daughter into a homemaker.

Story 17: where OP’s dad revealed they weren’t OP’s bio dad and wouldn’t pay for their college. Apparently he and OP’s mom were fighting before OP entered to talk about college and dad ended up lashing out and revealing that information. Dad did apologize and said he would indeed pay for OP’s college. But they might be looking at mom in a different light now.

DON'T suddenly stop certain prescription meds ... some need to be gradually weaned off under a doctor's supervision, or your body can have withdrawal type reactions. If I recall, a bunch of mental health meds are in the gradual weaning category, so that's super risky to that person's health to have their meds suddenly thrown away 😨

The stories about the food being mixed into one container reminds me of a post I saw on the Mildly Infuriating subreddit the other day. OP was an aspiring chef and used their first paycheque to buy a bunch of different cheeses to cook with. Their grandma came to visit and decided that all those cheeses were better off in one plastic bag. One of the cheeses was a blue cheese, which caused all the other ones to mold.

i remember a deleted post where at the start of c-19 time, OP got her and her family's vacation to disneyland got canceled. the OP went full-on karen and even demanded to stay in the cinderella suite (she got denied). she could not believe it when her SO called her a psycho. another one was where the OP's husband ran away for months halfway her pregnancy. OP tried to contact him daily but he ghosted her and when she miscarried, and when he returned, he became upset because she did not contact him and inform him about the miscarriage, which she definitely did. the most sad part was that she actually posted this because she did not know if she was in the wrong because of the husband and her mother in law's gaslighting

There was one I read about a dad making fun of his young teen daughter (about 13, I think) to strangers for starting her period in a pool on a cruise ship, and punished her for it because she was supposed to hold it. He couldn’t fathom why his own family and strangers on the internet deemed him a massive AH.

The guy who withheld therapy from his depressed daughter until her grades improved. The guy who used his daughter for slave labor on the grounds that paying for hygiene products was expensive. The guy who coerced his girlfriend into an abortion and then was mystified that she hated him. The guy whose father died while his brother was on his honeymoon. They had the funeral and everything and only told the brother when he got back.

The girlfriend's cat story - I never saw it (I don't read Reddit that much - I get my feed from there via channels like this), but when we had to move into an apartment, it didn't take dogs. My very dear friend took my chihuahua/greyhound mix into her honestly very loving care (TTRPG buddies - I still saw him regularly). And a year later, he was very ill, and his quality of life was declining quickly. She had another mutual friend of ours pick me up from home and bring me to the vet so I could say goodbye to that incredibly stupid little dog, and hold him while he got the injection. He was surrounded by all of his favorite people, and he was the best puppy ever. I still miss him.

The one about the man who left his wife alone while her mom was dying. I remember this one and he said that he and his MIL didn’t get along as a justification. This man SERIOUSLY has NO emotional intelligence!!! It’s not about saying goodbye to MIL, it’s about being a supportive partner to his mourning wife!!! She was so right to divorce him. Based on how he wrote the story I HIGHLY DOUBT this was the only time he left her alone to deal with hard emotions.

I remember the story where the mom paid for her daughter to get blonde highlights in her hair for her birthday because that's what the girl wanted. Later when the mom picked up her daughter after staying with her divorced dad the girl was in tears because her father chopped off his daughter's hair! He claimed he didn't like her new highlights or something. Anyway, the mom posted the story and the pictures of her daughter with her smiling with her long hair and her covering her face after it got chopped really short! The father got death threats from strangers who read the story!

There's a story that lives rent free in my mind, and it was this husband who worked 12 hour shifts in a physical job with a SAHW with two(?) special needs kids. The whole ordeal was based on if the husband should do more chores around the house. But the issues ran much deeper than you imagined. Of course people asked for details and the more you dug the worse it got because the wife was also commenting on that post. At first it looked like "omg my husband posted this about me, you're so unfair. I work so hard. You just browse reddit all the time while youre home." which in turn he would accuse her of doing nothing but watching TV. But then she blalantly admitted: "I forced him to post this." She was rounding all the attention points from people who defended her no matter what. I remember the partial comments asking for more clarifying info would get a reply from the wife along the lines of "I WONT LET INTERNET STRANGERS JUDGE ME OR MY HUSBAND." That lady was absolutely deranged, I'm sure she was right to ask for more help around the house. But to manipulate the husband into making a post that made him look bad just to act like the poor victim instead of just making the post herself is... just so messed up to me. I still remember the UN of OP: lb_of_flesh I think the dude ended up asking for a divorce.

The words "It's just a (pet)" are a gigantic red flag. Run, don't walk. The lack of empathy will eventually transfer to you.

The worst one for me that isn't about abuse, assault, torture, crime, racism, or cruelty is about a woman who thought her boyfriend was childish for having a youtube account. He had since he was a teenager and was super positive. He gave IT advice and helped people with computer stuff and even had a super interactive community of elderly commenting/emailing him questions. If I'm remembering correctly, he had around 5 million subscribers and was active for at least a decade. His girlfriend and her friends would tease him about it and play his videos in front of him to make fun of him. The story ends with him taking a break from youtube for a vacation and the girlfriend taking it as a sign that he's growing out of his "childish behaviors" and deletes/deactivates his account. The dude did not get his channel back and the girl didn't understand why he was upset

One I remember was the female OP would typically bring a small gift (usually a bouquet of flowers or a bottle of wine) when she and her boyfriend went to his parents place for dinner. One day the BF gets mad at her and says that his parents also mad at her, claiming that she was treating them like beggars in need of charity with her gifts, and goes alone to his parents' house that night as they apparently don't want to see her right now. Commenters point out his argument makes no sense, as flowers and wine are hardly things you'd give to people you think are in need, and encourage her to reach out to his parents. She does and they say they don't hate gifts or think she's being condescending, and that their son explained her absence as her not wanting to come after they had a fight. So she confronts the BF and he eventually admits the truth: he lied and this was all a harebrained scheme to force an open relationship. He realized that OP and their families would be expecting them to get engaged soon, but he also realized he didn't actually want to be with OP forever, but he didn't want to disappoint his family. So he made up the story of his parents being mad at her so that he could "make her the bad guy" and threaten to break up with her, hoping that she would beg him not to, so that he could demand a open relationship as his condition for staying together. So OP of course immediately dumped him and told his family what he did. So now he was the one begging for forgiveness and for OP to take him back.

This wasn't in AITA but the OP's boyfriend told her everyday she smelled. Even after taking a shower he would say this to her. OP was self conscious about it and eventually confronted her BF about it. Turns out his father once told him there's no better way to ensure your woman will never leave you if you tell her she smells regularly. Her self-esteem will be so low and she'll always be clean for you. OP ended up breaking up with him.

The one where the father didn't like the food at his son's wedding reception and left 10 minutes after it started. He also dragged his wife along, using her fear of travelling alone the long drive back home on her, depriving both of a mother-son dance. He proceeded to defend himself in the comments even as Reddit tore him a new one. One of his arguments was that dancing wasn't important, what is this, Footloose?

The cat storybrings me to tears. I lost my cat of illness a year and a half ago and I still cry about her loss. I tried to post the story on reddit (AITA) about my father telling me not to call it the middle of the night when I just learned that I would have to have her put down the very next day, and got banned for it.

Story 4: There's more to that story than that commenter remembers. The kid DELIBERATELY broke the cat's tail leading the cat to be permanently disabled and the kid showed no remorse. I would not want a kid that did that around my cat again either.

One of the most insensitive AITA I remember reading was that of a mother with a young daughter, her husband died a few years back and the daughter had these personalised ceramic bowls/plates that her dad made for her before he died. The mothers new boyfriend came around and apparently the daughters friends played with his guitar, so he destroyed her dad's ceramic plates. The daughter was inconsolable and the mother grounded her on top of that "because your friends touched his guitar," not minding at all that her boyfriend destroyed the few things her daughter had of her late husband

My ex' parents had a cat situation which nearly broke them up. It is more like an insensitive joke gone wrong than an AITA thing. So their cat had a lot of health issues and had to go to the vet. The husband was getting frustrated with all the cat's health issues and made some comments about just drowing the cat on the way there. And was told that he better not.. Then the cat escaped during the trip to the vet. Well, good luck explaining that after such a "joke". So that caused some tension between them to put it lightly. But nothing short of a miracle. That cat came back to them months later. All healthy and well.

The second story boils my blood. I've lost 3 dogs and 2 cats over the years, I still have 3 senior cats and a senior dog. I have always been there for their final moments, they have all passed away with me there. Earlier this year one of my cats passed in my arms at the vets. I intend to be there with my remaining furry family members when that time comes. They have given me so many years of joy and love, seen me at my best and worst and loved me unconditionally throughout, they should spend their last moments knowing that I love them, and (I hope) getting comfort from me as they go. If a partner just went ahead and took that away from me and my furry family member, that would be unforgivable. That's a permanent No Contact situation.

I think while a good handful of people on AITA are genuinely concerned that they did something wrong or committed some sort of faux pas, I feel the rest are just looking for someone to validate their horrible actions so they can justify it to themselves.

Some guy complained that his “roommate” was pregnant and kept asking him to get food, vomiting, and was lazy. The plot twist? The roommate was his WIFE

Remember a story were I think OP was asking if they were the AITA about still not forgiving her physically abusive bully and thinking about telling the bully's new boyfriend about how she bullied OP and ruining her life by possibly telling what happened, the boyfriend was apparently OP's brother (OP was living in another city and hadn't talked to her brother recently) the only thing is they were next door neighbors in an apartment complex and her bully bullied her (a lot of physical stuff) from 3-6 (OP doesn't really say exactly how old they were when the bulling started but at least between 3-6) to 13 because she moved. Now the only thing is the bully was 11 years older than OP so the bully was an adult abusing a child when OP was 7 to 13. So yeah the bully was horrible and hopefully did end up telling everyone.

I remember the story where the OP deleted her husband’s RU-vid channel, because she wasn’t getting enough attention. The husband wasn’t even obsessed, he did take time to spend with her. He wasn’t even aware until the OP admitted it when he noticed he wasn’t getting any notifications

This video really reminds me why I am an extreme introvert and terrified of meeting new people.😅

The one where OP walked out of his adopted daughter's life after she essentially replaced him with her deadbeat bio dad. I don't remember all the details about it but the story starts with him being upset that she asked the deadbeat dad to walk her down the aisle despite the fact he'd been in her life less than a year while OP raised her and ended with OP not only dropping the daughter but divorcing his wife (daughter's bio mom) too. Apparently by that point OP was nothing but an ATM for the daughter and wife to pay for the daughter's wedding.

Idk if this was on AITA or r/relationships but OP had the birth control implant and her and her fiancé were talking about having kids. The fiancé asked OP to remove her implant but she said no cause there was around 3 months left on it anyway and she will take it out after that. Apparently that wasn’t good enough for this douche canoe because in the middle of the night, OP woke up and saw her fiancé leaning over her with a kitchen knife. Of course she reacted like wtf?!?! And he admitted that he looked up online how to take the implant out and was planning to do it. Needless to say she dumped his ass.

I remember one where the OP's boyfriend proposed to her at someone elses wedding without consent of the bride and groom which of course is a big no no. She knew what he was doing was wrong but she said yes because "I couldn't say no" as if that was her only choice. She kept trying to play it off as no big deal and saying that everyone was overreacting, completely unable to see she was wrong for even allowing him to get on one knee. When the comments rightfully called her out rather than giving her the validation she oh so deserved, she did an update trying to make the commenters seem like the AHs for calling her out saying "c'mon guys I'm engaged" as if that absolves her of guilt. Some people can only see themselves as the good guy and the victim no matter how bad their actions are, it irritates me to no end and I'd much rather listen to Sheldon from Splatoon rambling on about the latest weapon to be added rather than some self centered twit trying to paint themselves in a good way when it will never work in their favour no matter how they spin the story or what excuses they come up with. I hate people sometimes. Edit to add: with the ones where people get rid of personal possessions, I have a teddy bear that I've had for as long as I can remember and if anyone, no matter who or why, got rid of her then I am getting rid of them. I love her and she's staying in my life until one of us expires.

One I recall vividly is a parent going onto the ATIA reddit to ask if they were out of line for deleting their son's minecraft save because the kid was struggling to wake up at a certain time at the start of the pandemic- when all of his routines were thrown out of whack, when he couldn't see most of his friends anymore, and when he was still so new in being part of a school system that the kind of wake-up routine he had was entirely new to him. He was "Warned" that if he didn't wake up at some early time, there would be consequences. These consequences were never explained, and these consequences were the destruction of hours upon hours of his hard work that he was proud enough to show this parent. I don't know if they were ever able to get the data back- and I don't know if they'll ever have a chance to get a healthy relationship with the kid back. This was just something awful compounded on already enormously difficult circumstances. I hope the parent reaps what they've sown, because it was senselessly cruel.

Maybe not the worse, but I think about it from time to time: there was a post in AITA about a dad asking if he was an ass for deleting his son's Minecraft world because, as stupid as it sounds, he woke up an hour late than normal. On school break. While completely being a good kid on everything else (did his chores, did his homework, etc). And this was not a normal Minecraft world. He built a castle in there that he was proud of. Reddit did rip him a new one, but the damage is done. That kid is never showing anything that matters to him to his pathetic father.

Story 17 actually had a happy ending. The dad lashing out at the son saying he wouldn't pay for college blah blah blah, was largely a misunderstanding. OP reached out to his siblings after posting and they all rallied around him and went to their parents and tore them a new one. The dad talked to OP and let him know that he didnt mean what he said, that him lashing out was wrong and it was mainly because OP was in the wrong place at the wrong time because he and the mom had just had an argument about the affair because the mom had made a comment that the dad took the wrong way and everything kind of snowballed from there. OP's parents, the dad included genuinely loved him and the dad made clear to the OP that he always loved him and considered him his son and was deeply sorry for saying what he said and hurting him. That he was still going to pay for the school and everything the same as he did with the other sibs. OP forgave his parents but said that he was going to work on being more independent so that if something like this ever happened again he would be more able to stand on his own and not completely reliant on others to survive/succeed.

There was this one AITA post about a dude whose wife had a problematic black cat that she kept trying to tame. The wife had to leave for a reason I can't remember, and left the husband to take care of the black cat. So this wonderful dude returned the black cat to the shelther and adopted a better behaved black cat instead. When the wife returned, she didn't notice it was another cat and she was very happy she got the cat to be more friendly. I think about that post a lot, specially bc I remember a comment that stuck with me. "Since the cat was an aggressive black cat, chances are the shelther put it down. OP basically killed his wife's cat and reeplaced it" It shook me up

TW:(SERIUS ANIMAL ABUSE) I saw someone say basically, “aita for killing someone’s dog? I thought it would be funny to do that then get them a new one but they were really mad. Honestly they overreacted.” Or something along those lines

The one that stands out to me was the one where the OP asked Reddit if she was TA for not attending her daughter’s wedding. OP’s husband was an alcoholic, had been for almost their entire marriage, and instead of trying to get some form of help, would just sit in a chair and grit his teeth as others drank around him as his form of “treatment”. Daughter announces that her wedding was going to be at a vineyard and the parents refused to attend because OP was afraid her husband was going to get drunk. The daughter said it was not an open bar and it was one of the few venues she could afford since the daughter was paying for half the wedding out of her own pocket since the parents had a history of promising things and never going through with them. The daughter suggested that maybe only OP could come, or they could just come to the ceremony but skip the reception, but OP told her daughter that unless she changes the venue of her wedding then the daughter would not have her parents in attendance. OP and her husband did not attend and reached out to ask for their daughter’s new address so they could send a gift, but the daughter told them she was done with them. Reddit tore this woman a new one and she deleted her account after multiple times trying to double down.

It wasn’t as extreme as all of these, but I remember one where OP’s girlfriend chose to dye her hair from I think blonde to violet. She asked him if he liked it, and he just continuously insulted her for it, saying she wasn’t as attractive as before, that she should change it back, that she looked trashy, et cetera. She dumped him and he wanted to know why smh

I am 67 and my dad (88) still hugs me. I hug my kids (39 & 40). There is no valid reason to stop hugging your kids ever!

The OP who wanted her 17 year old daughter to miss a school Halloween party to look after her autistic son (so op could have a girls out with her friends) since her 14 year old daughter couldn’t because she’s recovering from surgery and the 17 year old was angry and basically stopped talking to OP I honestly hope she moved out and broke contact with OP. And the story on a OP whom asked her husband to re home his 18 year old cat because she had a 3 year old puppy and the husband ghosted her after the cat was gone honestly I to would divorce my spouse if they wanted me to re home my beloved pet.

I’m glad the pregnant woman and the creepy husband and father in law came up. It was very concerning when they kept mentioning her passing but it’s very unsettling that there has been no further updates since. I think this post was made a year or so ago.

There’s one where OP and his wife were on vacation in Japan, went to Disneyland on their last day, he offended her with a joke so they got into a big argument, and he just left her there! All because she “couldn’t take a joke” and accept his apology. She even called OP, crying (because she was left alone in a theme park in a foreign country she doesn’t speak the language of), and that AH just told her to pull herself together. It took her hours to get back to the hotel with a dead phone. Now they barely talk and OP still thinks she deserved it…

I saw a step mom ask if she was the ahole for getting her step daughters hair cut, her step daughter had very long hard to manage hair and it needs special products to manage the knots and such So one day the o.p says she takes the step daughter to a hair salon and requested it cut to shoulder length The step daughter doesn't realize her hair is cut until she sees it and she bawls The step daughter is Eleven years old, she is old enough to decide if she wants it cut which she didn't want it cut The step mother offers to get McDonald's for her but she refused and cried about her hair being cut The husband and biological mother were furious at the o.p for cutting the step daughter's hair without asking the step daughter if she even wanted to get her hair cut I was like wtf woman really? You are the ahole!

God, the baby blanket story...if it's the same one I'm thinking of, it was worst than just throwing it away. He asked if he'd be the a-hole for trying to get rid of it, reddit collectively said yes and gave reasons why, but he ignored ALL of the advice, doubled down, and at some point just snapped and *burned it*. Literally took it out back and set it on fire. He talked about it like he was committing a crime of passion against a man she cheated on him with or something. It was horrifying. And then spent months - MONTHS - lying to her about where it was, tried to replace it with a 'better' one that was in no way like her old one, and then when he finally came clean, she dumped him. And all the while he had no regard whatsoever for her feelings until it came around to bite him in the butt and give him consequences. Anyway, my 'favorite' AITA post besides the blanket one was the one where OP criticized a fake jellyfish tank his girlfriend bought to help her sleep and regulate her anxiety, accusing her of falling for an MLM and saying "she's on meds, why does she need this?" and claiming that they can't have company over with that thing in the living room because people would think it's weird. Literally every word out of his mouth was straight out of the abusive gaslighting boyfriend handbook, and plot twist, not only did the cool jellyfish tank continue to be soothing for her, but her mental health ALSO greatly approved when she dumped him.

You know you have a crippling addiction when you recognise some of the stories

A quick rundown of some of the most iconic AI TA posts for better or worse: *the financial infidelity one, just look it up *the two different ones where both women had had the first girl in generations and the in-laws lost their mind. Once mother-in-law hit her was a snow globe and attempted to kick her stomach and the other one convinced the husband that she had predetermined the sex of the baby. In both cases it led to a divorce * the one where a stalker was asking how to get a cease and desist dismissed, thankfully he got therapy * the one where the guy had cheated on his wife in the past and the affair partner had recently died leaving the teenage son in his care. He was angry his oldest son would not basically give his younger children his PlayStation to use 24/7. Both the son and father posted their perspective * two hot takes is a podcast that actually covered a bunch of these stories where we were given both sides just all of them should be included on this list * the one that actually started off really simple where a girl just was asking if she was in the wrong for telling her sister to get over herself because the sister felt like her best friend had out shined her in the wedding. And when it turned out the sister basically had the most insane main character syndrome I have ever heard of. Where it turns out for years she's basically been manipulating people to work with what she thinks is right for her life. Which included cutting off friends when their friend group got too big for her taste, getting teachers fired because they didn't fit her aesthetic and spreading rumors about people that she didn't want near her. The reason she was creating this blow up was because her new husband was an addict and the best friend was his supporter and vets how they met and her husband being an addict didn't fit her narrative so she wanted to get rid of anyone who could expose his past. * the guy who did a joking post asking if he was in the wrong for eating his wife's expensive foreign chocolates because now he realized it was gonna take a very long time for the new ones to get there. He knew his wife used the subreddit a lot and she responded * the dude who was basically banned from bringing his girlfriend to his best friend's wedding because they want him to act like the boyfriend of the bride's younger sister who was disabled. Solely for the reason he was Asian and she has a thing for K pop. * guy who spent his daughters college fund on a car * Jorts the Cat * I also just personally really like the story where the woman was complaining her daughter was upset that she didn't attend the daughter's gender reveal party for her pet lizard. Because it seemed like a pretty NTA post, till you realize it was a joke party and the daughter just wanted to hang out and the mother was openly resentful of her being child free Some other posts that I don't think were on this subreddit but are still notorious Reddit posts: pee gate, the slug story, the couch story, stalker landlord, poop knife, nearly all the Kevin stories, ask a rapist

i've had a similar one to story 43 where i got acused of stealing my parents card with no evidence, i ended up having to call my parents to even try to prove it and they said i "obviously was just calling friends" as a excuse, some people...

"It's just a cat" makes my blood BOIL.

(TW: Animal Death) The one that still upsets me the most is the one where the OP had gotten a dog for his daughter to help her with her crippling mental illnesses, saw how much better it made her to the point she was able to leave the house (she couldn’t for a long time), and one of the times she was out of the house her dog got out by mistake and got hit by a car. The OP and his wife rush the dog to the vet, and learn that the dog needs surgery (like $700 iirc) and the OP decides that not only is that too expensive, but that ‘the dog had lived its life’ (the dog was around 5 and was a breed that usually only lives to around 10), and IMMEDIATELY has the dog put down. They called the daughter after, and ADMITTED that the injuries to the dog from the car weren’t lethal and they thought the surgery was too expensive. The daughter, of course, immediately starts sobbing on the phone and tries to say she has the money for the surgery, where OP reveals that the dog is already put down and they opted not to keep the ashes from having it cremated after. The OP watches how his daughter has a major relapse in her mental illness and refuses to speak to him, so he goes to Reddit. When he (unsurprisingly) gets a unanimous YTA vote, he posts and update where he says he tried asking his daughter if she wants a new dog (literally like a week after he just killed her other one) and when she unsurprisingly says no, he says that he must’ve been in the right because the dog ‘must not have meant as much as the internet thought’ since she didn’t want to immediately replace it. It still boils my bones thinking about it 🤬

It’s easy to forget how cruel and monstrous people can be….and then you hear stories like these smh

Lol. The cheeky way you asked for comments here was hilarious. Me personally, my ADHD makes it nearly impossible to consistently read Reddit threads. I might get into them for a few days and then fall off. RU-vid videos I can listen to while I drive, while I shower (shower speaker), in bed while I'm falling asleep, on my tv in my free time which I do a ton, while im cooking, etc. My brain is just not wired to be able to do that much reading. So I highly appreciate these kinds of videos because it allows me to participate in Reddit shenanigans because you're gracious enough to read these things out. Thank you sir.

Probably very niche but there was this one story where this girl was mad about her mentally disabled boyfriend kept a schedule of things he did to cope wirh his issues and I think she either threw away his schedule or wrote things in it to trip him up. He had a meltdown when he found out and went to his sister and she tried to justify herself by trying to idk gaslight the readers?

There's this one reddit story that I listened to a few years back and while I can't remember everything, what I do remember about it is that OP and her husband had been trying for a baby for over a decade and she kept having miscarriages, false positives and I think she even had a stillbirth, which no doubt really messed OP up psychologically. In the story OP and her husband where at dinner with her sister, sister's husband, and her mom and it came up that OP's sister had an abortion and OP who had been trying and failing for years to have a baby snapped went on a long rant and said some really mean things about her sister's and husband's adopted kids and got kicked out by her mom. Later on, OP tried to call her sister and mom to apologize, because people in the comments of her post helped her realize why she was wrong and helped her get out of her own head, only for her mom to tell her that they're both going no contact with her. And while OP was definitely the A-hole, I don't think it was right to go no contact and cut off their obviously troubled daughter/sister who needs help. Low contact, sure, but not cutting her off entirely. I genuinely hope OP got the therapy she needs and is hopefully able to repair the relationship between her sister, mom, bil, and niblings. I also remember that a lot of the comments where horrible to OP, saying stuff like how they hope her husband leaves her and how she's evil and should die alone. While there where a few comments that offered actual advice, most where just downright hateful. Unfortunately, as far as I'm aware, there was never an update.

I commented this one on the original thread. Still makes my blood boil. OP is not the TA her boyfriend and his mom are. And the worst part is they have her convinced she made a big deal out of a minor misunderstanding. OP has myalgic encephalomyelitis. Her condition is so bad she can barely walk even with a cane or walker. Her and her boyfriend went to go check out wheelchairs. She found one that was perfect and her boyfriend said they could get it when he got his tax rebate. OP knew for a fact that they had the money but he said he was worried about losing his job. He had missed a lot of work because he won't go to work unless she walks him there and it's pretty obvious why she can't do that to often. He claims he has to much anxiety to go without her. OP protests and he calls his mother for support and his mother tells him they can get a wheelchair for cheaper from the red cross or she can get them on the NHS. OP tells him the NHS refused to give her a walker before. Why would they give her a wheelchair now. Then OP pulled up the Redcross website and the cheapest wheelchair they had was about 170 pounds and requires someone else to push it. The cheapest self propelled one is 240. The One OP wanted was 150. The mother kept insisting the Redcross had them cheaper and the OP told her the actual prices and she said get one though the hospital. OP said they wouldn't even give me a walker why would they give me a wheelchair. The mother and her son kept brushing it off. It gets worse cause through edits we learn the savings account and money OP was going to use to buy the wheelchair wasn't even a joint account. It was an account she had before they met and the money was money she had gotten from her last place of work when she left do to her condition but OP felt she need his permission to spend her money. Reddit pointed out this was financial abuse. But wait there's more. OP posted an update later and is now convinced that she was in the wrong. They have gaslighted her into thinking they are these wonderful people who take care of her and she's just not smart enough to understand their concerns. He also has her emotionally self-flagellating over the fact that she told reddit what a butt hole he is. OP wherever you are please get away from this family they are toxic.

I vaguely remember a story where OP's SO mixes all the coffee together, because they think it's all the same. This guy, the rice girl and spice guy should all get together and live in ignorant bliss, away from the free world.

I saw one story that made my blood boil over. I'm autistic by the way. I was browsing TikTok where someone was asking if they were the asshole for disliking their autistic kid. It really was really self-centered and some people were pointing out suspected abuse. The video got removed, mostly because the comment section went to hell. I mean, some people were saying pretty messed up ablest shit. In fact, I deleted TikTok because of the shit I saw.

The Widow story reminds me of the story where OP not only destroyed the photos of the late wife, but destroyed the items that was left behind to the widow’s kids and even tried replacing the stuffed animal one of the kids had.

The thing with the scratchers is a great example for why you should **always** sign your lottery tickets (especially scratchers) before you know if they have any winnings. If the ticket wins anything more than 200 dollars, depending on which state lottery it is, they need ID and signature before they cash out, and that's not something the gas station will handle.

There was one where a woman was raped by a guy who got off on a technicality or something (I don't remember). The woman ends up getting married and having a daughter. As fate would have it, the daughter ends up getting engaged to the rapist's son. The mother obviously has never approved of the relationship and refuses to be a part of anything having to do with it. After months of trying to convince her to come to the wedding (obviously, the groom's father was going to be there too), the daughter asks the mother to go eat lunch with her just to talk. Mother gets there, and the rapist is there along with the daughter. The mother runs back to the car, obviously distraught, and calls the daughter. The daughter says something about how this is the first step to "making peace with what happened" and carrying on with her life. I remember wanting to punch the daughter in the face for that. The AITA was the woman asking if she was in the wrong about refusing to go to her daughter's wedding. Obviously that question can't make sense because even a blind man can see that no daughter can put her mother through psychological trauma like that for reasons that selfish.

This whole post is making me think about all of the really mean things that people I loved intentionally did to me in the past. I have gotten over most of it, but I have had to force myself to hold grudges against a few people because I am really bad about forgiving people I love and trusting them again when I need to not do that. It’s a very short list that I have, but it’s a really important one that I really need to keep. I don’t like it, but it’s necessary for me and my mental health and safety.

The guy whose wife had a memory problems and carried around a journal everywhere she went so she could write down what she wanted to remember. For whatever reason the husband decided that her journal was creepy, because the wife was able to remember the little things that their friends had mentioned offhandedly, like a favorite kind of flower or candy. So one day he took his wife’s journal and just threw it away, this douche-canoe erased years of his wife’s life all because he didn’t like her journal

Story 24 - I remember that one. I invited the OP to Thanksgiving (she mentioned jokingly in one of the updates that if anyone was cool with a random stranger at Thanksgiving, she was ofc gonna be alone), since it turns out she’s semi-local to me. She ended up at a Friendsgiving, thankfully, which is kinda-sorta what I was doing that year (sister, BIL, and their friends).

A lot of these stories make me cry and be very angry.....some people are truly monsters.....

My parents used to do scratch offs in our stockings each year with the rule that if we won more than $100 we had to split it with them because we couldn't cash it without them anyway so they deserve at least half.

I remember one that popped up in a few sub reddits regarding LARPing. For those not in the know it means Live Action Role Playing, most of the time it’s like Live Action Dungeons and Dragons and just like with Dungeons and Dragons some games are ran by real A Holes. This particular post was made by a girl who had just joined a game and was doing really well with her character, one of the admins didn’t like this and had her character killed off by taking her to a “poorly lit area” and having another player “brutally kill her”. Of course when this happens you need to make a new character and you start back at level one, the girl obviously didn’t like this and tried to argue until she was banned from the game. She ended up taking to Reddit to air her grievances when the admins from the game jumped in the comments to defend their actions but ended up coming off as creepy weirdos, it was kind of hilarious. I think the post might have been taken down because I can’t find it anymore!
