Coworker tried to expose my service dog as fake and got fired, now her friends are stalking me

I have a medical alert service dog named Max who helps with a serious heart condition. He's literally saved my life multiple times by alerting before I pa*s out. I started a new office job 3 months ago, and everything was fine until (let's call her) "Karen" started her crusade against Max. It started small. She'd loudly announce "pets aren't allowed in the office" every time she saw us. I expla...

AITA for telling my coworker their "special d*et" is just an excuse to avoid contributing at potlucks?

I work in a small office where we frequently organize potlucks for team-building events. Everyone usually brings a dish to share, and it’s som**hing we all enjoy—except for one coworker, Jake (34M). Jake claims to follow a “special d*et” for health reasons, but he’s never been specific about what it is. Every time we have a potluck, he doesn’t bring anything, yet he always eats everyone else’s ...

AITAH for telling my wife she’s not a “single parent” just because I work long hours?

My wife (29F) and I (31M) have a 3-year-old son. I work 10-12 hour days as a contractor while she stays home. Lately, she’s been venting online and to friends, saying she feels like a single mom because I’m “never around.” I get that she’s overwhelmed, I am too but I’m working my a*s off to keep us afloat. The other night, I heard her refer to herself as a “solo parent” during a Zoom call with ...

My Coworker Got Fired For Sending Me Creepy Texts And Now The Whole Office Shuns Me

I'm working an internship at this company and we get to WFH one day a week. A couple weeks ago, we had a 1 hour zoom meeting and our team were all wfh during that day. The meeting was with me, Mark (another intern from my college that I didn't know before), Zoe (another intern from a different college), Aaron (my boss), and a few others. During the call, I noticed that Zoe was wearing a somewh...

AITA for leaving my boyfriend’s office Christmas party after he repeatedly humiliated me in front of his coworkers?

This happened last weekend and I can’t stop thinking about it. My boyfriend (30M) invited me (28F) to his company’s Christmas dinner and I was excited but also nervous. I wanted to make a good impression so I spent a lot of time picking the perfect outfit, doing my hair, and ensuring I was presentable. When we arrived everything seemed fine at first. I introduced myself to his coworkers and the...

CMV: If you think people should be fired from their jobs for offensive comments you're worse than them

There's an unprecedented wave of (mostly internet) vigilantism going on right now and I think it's abhorrent. Campaigns to get people fired for comments, jokes, or opinions unrelated to their jobs are turning into an everyday occurrence. Somehow, some people got it into their heads that it's their task to punish others for their *wrongthink*, and I think this can only escalate since victims of thi...

Coworker sent me a r***st text message, still has a job

Sometime back in February, I got a text message sent on my personal phone by a co-worker. It was in response to a conversation which was terse at my office. I did report the text message. I said that I felt threatened. End result of a week of conversation was effectively they moved the offender to another floor and forbade any of my coworkers to talk about it. They made it seem it was more of a m...

AITA for letting my husband sleep in and be late for work?

I am 26(f) and my husband is 27(m). Over the past few weeks, he has had a hard time waking himself up. He would typically get up himself when the sun rises or set an alarm on his phone, but he hasn't been doing either of those things recently. For the past 2-3 weeks, it seems that he's become more and more reliant on me waking him up. I will admit that I am a little sensitive when it comes to fee...

AITA for how i reacted after a one night stand with a co-worker?

So, this is an update to a few other posts I've made before, check them out if you'd like the full story. I'll link them below. I had a co-worker that I had feelings for. I honestly thought I loved him. On the weekends, me, him, and quite a few of our other friends from work hang out at a bar. Now, I am INCREDIBLY shy, and just didn't have the courage to ask him on a date. But, I had a better id...

AITAH For canceling six figure plumbing job because MAGA

I have a large plumbing job I'm trying to do for a cannabis farm. It requires a ton of work to be done but especially running plumbing for the plants, feed room, ect ect. I have had 6-7 meetings with the guy going over the project in detail. Dosing systems in particular are complicated and require significant planning to get right. Unfortunately after seeing his support for Trump I decided doing...

Hotel Staff Calls The Cops On Woman's Colleague After A "Prank" Where He Pretended To Be A Creepy K**ler

I (25f) just started this new job as a front desk clerk at a hotel. I work the overnight shift. I usually have a coworker (30sM) with me, but he never really spoke to me. A few nights ago was my first night alone. At around 2 AM, I noticed a person in the parking lot (you can see the lot from the front desk. The lighting in the lot is terrible, so you don't really see faces until they get close ...

Guy Calls The Police After His Brother Dropped Off His Nephews At His Workplace Because He Refused To Take The Day Off

My m31, brother m36 is a single (widowed) dad of 2 kids (my nephews) both under the age of 10. He used to have babysitters, but ever since he met his new girlfriend, he stopped hiring any help because his girlfriend claimed that she wanted the kids to warm up to and get used to her as the only woman in their life (?wtf?). So he started asking me to watch the boys whenever he had som**hing to do. ...
