AITA for refusing to pick up my ex girlfriend after she called me at 3 am for a ride?

My ex girlfriend of 2 years ago randomly called me at 3am on Friday night asking (very drunk) if I could come get her because she lost her cards and cash and needed a ride home. I woke up with my very pr****nt wife next to me completely p**sed and even if my wife wasn’t next to me I didn’t leave the last relationship on good terms so I said nope sorry I’m not your guy and hung up. To make su...

AITA for leaving my friend stranded because she kept us waiting for over an hour?

So, this happened last weekend, and now my friend group is split over whether I was justified or a total j**k. I have a friend, lets call her "Sarah" who is *always* late. I’m talking, “we tell her to be there at 6 knowing she’ll show up at 7” kind of late. The rest of us have learned to tolerate it, but last Sat**day pushed things too far. We were all going out for a friend’s birthday and h...

AITA for showing up to a job interview with purple hair that I've had since I was 20?

I'm 34 years old and have had some flavor of purple hair since I was 20. The closest approximate color I can give to you is if you search "black cherry hair" and imagine it a little more purple. At 34, I'm not exactly new to the job force. One of my biggest stipulations for a job is that I fit in as I am, and that I don't work for a company that's so uppity my hair would be an issue. I've n...

Redditor Forces Her Religious Parents To Choose Between Two Options They Hate In Her Will As Revenge For Their B**otry

I (F38) have recently gotten a not great medical diagnosis and prognosis. I am at peace with it. So I have sat down with my husband and figured out my will. Obviously he will be receiving most of the estate. He has to take care of himself and our kids. He and I both have decent if not spectacular careers and he likes his work. My oldest brother is a gigantic D-bag. He is an addict and my par...

AITA for not giving up my plane seat so a family could be all together?

So I travelled home today from Greece. The flight was roughly 10 hours and around this time of year it’s extremely hectic. I booked my ticket specifically to be cl**er to the front of the plane so I can be cl**er to the gate when it’s time to get out. I personally hate traveling so I spent a bit more money to be cl**er. When I got on the plane, a family of four approached me and asked if I ...

My parents blew $160,000 on scams and are now demanding my house savings to live in my apartment

When I(27F) was little my father gambled away all the saving about $100,000 in risky penny stocks which got wiped out in 2008 and we were forced to move into a single bedroom in a house for the 3 of us. Then my mom fell for an MLM and you can image what happened, they lost the down payment to the house they were saving for. I begged them not to sign up for it since I saw it was clearly a scam ...

AITA for not being nice to the people trying to force me to sell my home?

A large company is trying to buy up all the houses in my area to build a luxury resort with a golf field, pool, and other things. A few days ago I got a knock on my door and someone came over and she told me she was offering to buy my home, willing to give me 5% over "market value" (their bu****it market value is less than I bought it for). I politely said "No I'm sorry but I am not at all int...

AITA for telling my dil she showed us who she really was on her wedding day?

I’m the father of four children. In May my son Neil got married to Debbie. Debbie acted terribly the whole day. Straight up ent*tled and embarra*sing. My oldest daughter was 3 months pr****nt and hadn’t told anyone because she has already had one miscarriage. She was barely showing and Debbie picking a tight fitting bridesmaid dress. My daughter was super sick from morning sickness and Debbie ...

AITA for divorcing my cheating wife?

I (28M) married my wife (27F) about two years ago. We first met at university, as she was my cla*smate. We dated for about a year before deciding to get married. Life was great, and we didn’t have any major problems in our marriage. You could say we were a happy couple. About 10 months ago, we found out that my wife was pr****nt. I was over the moon because we had been trying for a baby. Ho...

AITA for taking an apartment for myself even though it means a single mom and her kids could be homeless?

I (26F) have been living in a townhouse that I absolutely love for about a year now. For some background, I was in an abusive relationship a few years back. He stole my ident*ty and rented out multiple apartments in my name. They all ended in evictions. I had been fighting in court to get them expunged in early 2020, so you can fill in the blanks with what happened to my court dates. I fina...

My Parents Say I Am Ruining My Autistic Brother’s Life By Choosing To Move Out

I (19M) have an autistic brother (20M). He’s fairly manipulative because he realized pretty quickly that the threat of a meltdown would get him his way every single time. He is considered high functioning by medical personnel, but he’s got my parents convinced he just doesn’t understand what he’s doing, and they don’t ever punish him. Doctors have told them that he understands and that he know...

AITA Parents bought younger sister with serious issues a 25k car for Christmas while all I got was a phone case, been needing a car for a couple years, parents promised one, but gave her one instead

In my family there are 2 kids (sister and I) and my parents. Christmas was coming up and I’ve been wanting a car for about a year now because I’ve recently gotten my Green P’s (Australian thing that you can get when you’re older than 18). My parents have mentioned in the past the idea of me paying for half and they’ll cover the other half of a car under total 10k AUD. I can afford this as I’ve...
