AITA for refusing to stop cooking and eating in my kitchen because of my roommate's girlfriend's "condition."

I feel like this is entirely ridiculous. I live with my roommate "Matt". We used to be pretty close friends, but over the last 2 years of living with him, we've drifted apart, and I'm just waiting for our lease to move out on my own. Matt's girlfriend "Sarah" pretty much lives with us, despite not paying rent. I won't lie, she annoys me to no end. She's an ent*tled airhead who thinks the world ...

AITA for not letting my sister have one of my eggs?

When I was in my mid-twenties, I froze some eggs. We ended up freezing 10 eggs. I was lucky enough that my job covered part of the costs. Fast forward: when my husband and I were ready to get pr****nt, we ended up just getting pr****nt naturally (I am currently 35, I had my baby a year ago). We do want two more children, so we will likely use a few of the eggs. My sister (30) had one kid in ...

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?

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”. ...

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...
