AITA - parents lost all my uni work two days before my d**dline

I am currently facing a significant issue regarding my university d**dlines. I have a d**dline for a university application this Friday, and previously had one last Friday. A few years ago, when I moved out, my parents insisted on keeping all my college and university materials safe in their larger house. Last month, I informed my mother that I needed my sketchbooks from my university work to a...

AITAH For refusing to trade shifts with my coworker during Christmas because they have a small kid and I don’t?

Basically I, 29f have the morning shift for Christmas Day which is good for me because I can then spend the rest of the day with my family and do things. My coworker, 39M has the “middle shift” that basically is 12pm to 20:30 pm which sucks bc you lose most of the day. He has a 4 year old son and a wife. When he saw the schedule he flipped out and basically flat out refused to do the shift. Wh...

AITA for not accommodating an autistic co-worker?

I(28f) have been working for the same company for just over two years now and I really like my job and all of my work mates. I have this habit where I drink a breakfast shake every morning. It contains one banana, 100 grams of strawberries, peanut b**ter, almond milk and two scoops of protein powder. I keep it in a shaker that can be closed and sip on it throughout the morning. All was fine...

Redditor Throws Sister Out Of House After She Tried Charging Him For The Work She Did

My sister is a trainwreck. She needed a place to stay and I have a large enough home for an extra person. She has no job or income. I told her she has a few months to get her s**t together and leave. I give her about $100 a week to keep my house clean so she has some cash. I gave my sister her $100 and she said I owed her more. I was confused. She said she did other "work" for me. I asked h...

AITA for telling my (24M) GF (25F) she’s penny-pinching me after losing her job?

1.5 years ago, I got a new grad job out of state and my girlfriend moved with me. It is an HCOL area, and our apartment is $2k / month. For the first year, she worked part time to nurture her mental health (paid me $150/month in rent). For the next .5 year, she worked full time, paying $800/month in rent and splitting utilities. Last month, she was laid off from her job. She had the money save...

Husband is turning down 90,000$ job offer

He was laid off from a systems development job as were many others. He had also been aggressively emailing the company CFO however, ranting about a social media policy he refused to sign. He sent over 7 emails, despite being told not to, managed to accuse the CFO of supporting moms for liberty… it was bats**t. So I’m pretty sure he moved himself to the top of the corporate layoff line. He h...

AITA for telling my boss that if she wants this little girl to be suspended, she can tell the parents herself

I’m the lead teacher in a 2 year old room at a daycare. I have a little girl in my cla*s, Sophie, that has had an issue with biting the past couple days. Sophie is usually very sweet and she’s very intelligent (she’s almost fully potty trained at 28 months old) but she has a pretty severe sp*ech delay and her mom was taken to the hospital by ambulance last weekend and Sophie hasn’t seen her since ...

AITA for saying my secret workout routine is depression?

I (25F) had a miscarriage in early January this year. I lost my mother to a completely unexpected heart attack in February. We used to be very very close and her death, coupled with the loss of my child devastated me. I slipped into depression, developed anorexia and lost a huge amount of weight in a very short time. I used to be 165 pounds and now I'm at 120 pounds. I attended my best frie...

I (42F) have been with my boyfriend (33M) for four years, and we’ve lived together for two years. Our lease is up in a week and a half, and I’ve made the decision to move out after I found out that he cheated on me with his best friend. For context, his best friend, “Tina” (34F), and him were roommates before him and I got together and before we all decided to move in together. He and I were ju...

Woman Quits On The Spot When Toxic Boss Refuses To Accept Her Two-Weeks' Notice, Faces Backlash From Colleagues For Leaving Them Stranded

I had a boss who was a real t**d. He labored under the delusion he was an excellent boss and couldn’t put together that his behavior and the c**ppy pay was why he had such a hard time keeping employees. He also thought it was acceptable to call his female employees hun, sweetie, and sugar. He was a condescending a*swipe who consistently pa*sed over more qualified women for promotions in favor ...
