AITA for being hurt about my boyfriend’s sister asking him to be their first child’s godfather while I was away at work?

I (23f) and my boyfriend (24m) have been together for 5 years and this past August his sister and her husband gave birth to their first child. I came to the hospital to visit them and the baby the first day they allowed visitors and since then have accompanied my boyfriend at every baby visit. Today started off very rocky, before I came in for my 12 hour shift at the hospital I work at, my boyf...

AITAH for asking my husband to not quit his job?

I'm 39F, he's 51M. I work as a CNA and take home about $50k annually. He does som**hing mysterious (to me...) involving computers, and has a 100% remote position where he takes home $170k annually. He's been very frustrated with his job recently and has been talking about quitting to take a year off of work to re-sk**l and try applying again. We don't split finances besides the mortgage, so ...

AITAH for telling my wife that her job as a stay-at-home mom isn’t as hard as mine?

I (33M) absolutely appreciate my wife (24F) and everything she does for our family. She stays at home with our two kids (3M and 1F), and I work full-time in a pretty stressful job as an engineer. Lately, she’s been telling me she’s “exhausted” and “needs a break” when I come home from work, asking me to take over with the kids and ch**es the minute I walk in the door. I get that being a sta...

AITA For calling my co-worker "chunky" after she repeatedly calls me "slim" and makes references to my weight after I asked her multiple times not to.

I have a female co-worker who repeatedly calls me out regarding my weight. I'm female 5'9" 115lbs and very thin. She is very overweight. All the time she makes comments about my weight. She doesn't call me by name she calls me "slim" and I even heard her say one time "go ask toothpick" and she has said stuff like "you need some meat on your bones" & "you need to eat". I have only worked th...

Someone at work stole my chair. So I had them arrested.

I got a new job in sales working for a company that sells access control systems, CCTV systems, etc. The chair in my cubicle was uncomfortable AF, so I day 3 I brought in my own Herman Miller Aeron chair. On day 4 it was missing. I looked around and another sales rep was sitting in it. I asked for it back but he basically told me to F off. I went and spoke to the owner of the company. He t...

AITA for making my co-workers think I’m married?

H**lo, I (32 F) have been working at a law firm for 6 years. My high school sweetheart (J) d*ed at 24. Before he d*ed he had proposed, I said yes. I was so struck with grief that I could never bring myself to take off the ring he gave me. Around 2 years ago I finally moved on and chose to adopt a girl, (L). Everyone at the firm a*sumes I’m married due to the ring and kid. One of my co-workers ...

Getting my coworker fired after she tried to sabotage me — even though she has three kids?

I (29F) work in a fast-paced marketing agency. I’ve been there for about four years, recently promoted to a project lead position. I’m not the kind of person to brag, but I work hard, stay late, and honestly deserve the role I got. Not everyone agreed, apparently. There’s a coworker, “Rachel” (33F), who I used to be friendly with. She was also gunning for the promotion and didn’t get it. Af...

AITA for telling my husband to stop drooling over his bosses wife?

I won't sit here and pretend that I was nice about it because I wasn't. I was very snappy and made my distaste known. His bosses wife and I are both heavily pr****nt. I'm 32 weeks and she is 28 weeks. He just started working for this company about a month ago and has already developed an incredibly strong friendship with his boss so we get invited over there often. I've only personally gone tw...

AITAH for refusing to take my boss’s dog home every night even though “it’s just a temporary arrangement”

So I (29F) work as an admin a*sistant at a small company, and my boss, who we will call Greg (40M), is the type of guy who thinks “running things like a family” means he can do whatever he wants. A few months ago, Greg adopted a golden retriever named Buddy. Buddy is great. Greg is not. Instead of, you know, adjusting his own life to accommodate his dog, he just started bringing Buddy to the of...

WIBTA: Taking my coffee maker with me when I leave my current job

I'm getting ready to wrap up my 5-year PhD in STEM, and I'm moving on to bigger and better things in the world of medical research. Som**hing you need to know about STEM folks is that we tend to be caffeine addicts. Coffee, tea, energy drinks, the works. However, for about the first 3 years of my program, I was the only coffee drinker on my team. Everyone else drank tea or soda. I'm a coffee a...

AITAH for not covering for my coworker with a sick kid, resulting in her being fired

I am a 25-year-old female hos**ce nurse working for a home hos**ce company. All nurses are salaried and set their own hours, which is a desirable arrangement, especially for parents. We are required to take turns being on call overnight, roughly every two weeks. All of my coworkers have children, except for me. In three years, I have asked them for virtually nothing and have never called ou...

AITA for refusing to buy a coworker lunch

I (23M) have a coworker (25M) who is a mooch. If you get som**hing for lunch, he wants you to get him som**hing too, but expects you to buy it for him because since you mentioned it, he says you offered. At first I thought maybe he had money problem, but then overheard him laughing and bragging to someone in another department about how he was able to scam lunches out of his coworkers, and he’...
