AITA for lying about my biggest fear on a quiz show and subsequently winning a car and making other contestants lose?

This is a hot topic in my family at the moment. I live on an obscure little island near the UK. we have a local quiz show that’s aired on the telly that I appeared on a few years ago. The premise of the show is that you can win prizes for doing challenges. Some of the challenges were physical, some psychological, and some requiring problem solving sk**ls. I sailed through a lot of the physic...

AITA for ordering delivery food when I only live a few blocks away from the restaurant?

There's a local burger joint that my family and I love. It's about 10 blocks away from our house and they do both delivery and pick up. I'm a ft student and SAHM to a toddler (1.5) while my husband works ft. I had a big exam and a couple of lab practicals due today and was too tired to cook dinner so I decided to order a couple burgers and fries from the local joint. It was already dark out, r...

AITA for refusing to babysit my sister's kids any further after her son lied to her about me?

My sister is a single mother with 2 children. An 11, and 7 year old. The 7 year old is a boy while the other 1 is a girl. She works a lot, and doesn't have a lot of money to afford babysitting, so I started watching her kids for her for free. There was an incident one day where the 7 year old had gotten mad at me because I wouldn't let him jump on the couch. I explained to him he could get hurt...

AITA for not allowing my son to be punished after he refused to do his school presentation?

My son “George” just turned 13 this month. George is very bright, projected to get 8s or 9s in his GCSEs, and regularly achieves these grades in his mock exams and a*sessments. But he struggles socially and has been bullied badly in the past. Things are better now, but he isn’t popular. As part of his PD cla*s, he had to create a children’s toy and give a sales pitch to the cla*s. Last F...

AITA for leaving my boyfriend behind and going on the trip with our friends?

I've been with my boyfriend (I'll call him Paul) for 3 years and living together for 6 months. Paul has serious problems with forgetting important documents and after the 4x he did this, I became responsible for carrying our documents in my purse. According to him, all documents have a digital version and that is enough, not all are digital (pa*sport) and not all places accept the digital form,...

AITAH for not telling my wife I’m taking random days off here and there?

I’ve been at my job for 10 years and have 30 PTO days a year + holidays. My wife only has 17 PTO days + holidays. I try to take some days off randomly to do “me stuff”. But every time I tell my wife I’m taking a day off som**hing magically happens to ruin my day. A sniffle that we would have normally sent our kid to school with all of a sudden becomes “well you’re home you can stay with him”. ...

AITA For being "whipped" for my wife enough to get a trip replaced?

I (28m) have 5 kids with my wife (32f). Please don't come after us with how many kids we have. I work roughly 50 hours a week (10 hour days m-f) and my wife is a SAHM. She does the majority of everything, cleaning, cooking, everything minus the shopping which my wife orders online and I pick up at the store. So here's the AITA scenario, my work schedules a work bonding fishing trip from Friday ...

AITA for having a “t**shy” piercing while pr****nt?

I'm having my first baby soon and my obgyn is on vacation. I tried to make sure I had all my questions asked before she went but som**hing came up this week and I figured I would just ask the on call doc. When I got to the clinic for my checkup the nurse came in and after the usual I asked if I could talk to the on call doctor. She said they were running behind and might not be able to see me t...

AITA for getting someone fired when they made a mistake?

I was at a grocery store, shopping for supplies some weeks ago (5-6). My cart included some alcohol, so I gave my drivers license as age proof. Now for context - I speak with an accent from my home country (English isn't even my first language actually). The cashier and I small-talked before the carding about the accent, and I mentioned I'm from another country. So when I handed my ID her, s...

AITA for cu***ng my niece’s tuition after she adopted some offensive beliefs?

I (40sF) have two younger brothers. We were raised in a very conservative Christian home (think early evangelical movement). My brother “Sam” was pretty obviously gay, but he had a lot of shame and forced himself to marry a woman from church. They had my niece (now 19F). Unfortunately, my brother made some bad choices, and he developed a drug habit which caused him to OD when my niece was four...

AITA for not being intimate with my husband after he said he misses my pre-pregnancy body?

I gave birth around 2 months ago. I'm up a bit more than 10 pounds from my pre-pregnancy weight. I'm in constant pain, barely getting sleep, still recovering. I've been easing back into the gym this past week. My husband and I were showering after having s*x and while feeling me he said he misses my body and he said I used to look so good in s*xy clothes/lingerie before. I went quiet, finished ...

AITAH for refusing to remove a piece of jewelry at the request of my friend on her wedding day?

My (31f) friend (30f), we’ll call Mary, got married last week and I was in her bridal party. For context, we are friends from high school and all of her other bridesmaids were her friends from college who I hadn’t met until her Bachelorette party several months ago. I also wasn’t familiar with anyone at this wedding outside of Mary’s immediate family. I was supposed to attend the wedding wit...
