AITA for calling my half siblings bad people for screaming at my dad because he doesn't want to be buried with their mom but mine instead?

My dad lost his first wife over 20 years ago. My half-siblings (late 20s to early 30s) are his kids from that marriage. He met my mom three years after his first wife d*ed, and they got married and had me (17f). They were expecting my little brother when I was 2, but he was stillborn. My half-siblings never seemed okay with dad remarrying. This escalated recently when they confronted him ab...

AITA for telling my 9 month pr****nt GF, we are not getting rid of our 4 month old puppy just because she’s getting “overwhelmed”!

For starters she’s 39 weeks, she’s literally about to pop. She also got the dog without consulting me, it was literally a spur of the moment thing with her, and not one time did I b**ch about it, or trip. He’s the loveliest Golden Lab mix with green eyes. I will say he’s a handful, and though our apartment is spacious, it’s only but so big. I feel like he sleeps most of the time, but when he’s...

AITA for trying to leave a Super Bowl party when the Eagles were kneeling out the clock with their backups?

We went to her parent’s house to watch the Super Bowl. Had food, some drinks, standard stuff. When the game was far out of reach I wanted to go home and said let’s go. This was with around 1:50 left. The Eagles had dumped Gatorade on their coach, celebrated on their sideline, and already put their backups in. She wanted to stay to watch all the stuff after the game. I don’t care about any o...

AITA for treating my coworker differently after she accused me of making her uncomfortable when I covered for her at work?

I (30M) work in an office with a small team. A few months ago, my coworker Samantha (28F) had an emergency and had to leave work early. She was supposed to finish a report that was due the next morning, so she asked if I could help cover for her. I had some extra time, so I finished up her report and sent it in under both of our names to make sure she got credit. The next day, she thanked m...

AITA for reporting my teacher and potentially getting him fired?

My (16f) school requires us to keep our cameras on during the entire cla*s. If we need to use the restroom we are supposed to privately message our teacher and ask to leave. I have absolutely no issue with these rules as I understand that online teaching is hard and you have to make sure everyone is attentive during cla*ses. We also have this system where at the end of the week every student is...

We sit down and within like 10 mins her phone is ...

AITAH for calling off my wedding because my fiance wants to invite guys she had a ga****ng with?

Me and my fiance were planning our wedding, and she had her invite list. I saw nothing wrong with it at first. Then... her friend's bf told me som**hing about it... that 5 of the guys were from her college and they had group s*x a few times. He told me that if he were me, he'd want to know, and I gotta buy him like 20 beers. So I never knew this about my fiance, and honestly, while I don't r...

AITAH for taking a job that’s twice the amount I’ve ever made and would solve my financial problems

Got offered a job for $60k+ a year. Only problem is I’d have to work weekends. My gf works M-F and has weekends off. Her one requirement is that I also don’t work weekends. It has made my job search significantly more difficult and I said screw it and went to an interview anyways. They offered me the job and I want to take it but now she is freaking out. I’ve been in a financial hole for ye...

AITA for not bringing homemade treats to the office Christmas party? And telling of co-workers who expected me to?

I am 22 and I'm one of very few women in my office at work. It's me, one other engineer, and two lad*es in HR and administration. There are about 50 older male coworkers with families. We had a potluck style party, and I was a*signed dessert. I bought cupcakes from Aldi the night before. When I brought them in, five male coworkers criticized me for not bringing som**hing homemade. I knew man...
