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 telling my dad (who left) that I don't remember him?

I'm 15F and my father is 46M. My dad left the family when I was 7 without any explanation. He just vanished one day, and I've never seen him since. He left because of relationship issues with my mom. She was heartbroken, and waited 5 years for him to return - but in the end filed for divorce. Thankfully, she's over him now. To be honest, now - 8 years after he left, I barely have any memory...

AITA for wearing a dress when I didn’t do a good job shaving?

It’s me again with another s***id clothing dilemma, yay. This happened when me (15F) and my dad (44M) went to a restaurant with my grandfather (71M) because it was my grandfather’s birthday. I only shave my legs and armpits in the summer because shaving takes a lot of time and is as annoying as h**l. My dad forces me to lift up my arms and he makes puking noises if I even have stubble. I’ve...

Despite that John knows that I’m in a longtime relationship with my boyfriend of around 4-years who we’ll call C. Now C trusts me and despite knowing that John might be interested, he lets me handle it by myself. I’ve tried to make ...

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...

AITA for putting my hand over my SIL’s camera at my own birthday dinner after I told her no filming?

I (29F) had a small bd dinner last weekend with my husband (31M), SIL “Lina” (27F), MIL and two friends at a normal but nice place. Lina’s an 'influencer". She films literally everything - plates, forks, ppl breathing. Three days before, I wrote in the family chat - please don’t film me. Food, room is fine, just not my face. She said “got u”. 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 admitting to my boyfriend that I think he's bad in bed?

When the topic of 'what makes someone good in bed' came up, my boyfriend asked me directly if I think he is good in bed, and I said no. He became angry, arguing that it is not his fault I cannot climax from penetrative int*****rse (PIV) alone. This is factually true, as I require c**toral stimulation, oral s*x, or extended foreplay, activities he dislikes or refuses to prioritize. I have po...

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...

Aita for not accommodating a child on a plane?

I was on a pretty long flight and I had the window seat. The first incident happened, when the mom asked if I would trade seats so her child could look out. I declined and said I would rather sit in the seat I paid for and then I proceed to put in my AirPods and started to watch some New Girl and I could hear the child cry and be upset that I wouldn’t. A few hours later, I was playing a game on...
