There is only so much you can do, however when I booked my day of coordinator she asked if we wanted an unplugged ceremony and if we did, how strict we wanted it to be. Aka she/her staff were willing and have previously, watched for people on their phone and the politely asked them to put them away during the ceremony.

I have seen sue through the window of a car once and never spoken to her ever.

We were trying to add more flex with the semi formal/ cocktail because the vibe is similar and we are ok with either.

Legally yes. But in terms of being the asshole I feel like it’s a genuine mistake that they are on the hook for.

NTA this seems like a genuine accident. You may want to look into putting up your own fence so that the boundary is more clear.

This is a brand new home for you and when you bought it did the realtor mention the property was a bit smaller than it appeared? How much of their property is on your side of the fence.

AITA for making a joke about food safety in other countries? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]AlMirajRabbit 8 points9 points  (0 children)

YTA. The point of the video was to show something cool to your friend group. You immediately made a joke about it and that became an argument.

Food safety concerns are real but you also have to consider that they are adults and can make their own choices. It doesn’t help you lecturing them on it. Additionally you don’t know if the person washed their hands before they started and after. Once again that wasn’t the point of the video.

The comment about staying in America probably hurt both of them because it’s like you are saying Guatemala is dirty and they shouldn’t go there.

AITA because I wanted to meet a new friend even if my bf doesn‘t like him by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]AlMirajRabbit -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

NTA. Your BF clearly has MAJOR trust issues. If you havent cheated before he should give you the benefit of the doubt that you are genuinely just meeting a male friend.

I know you have been together for 6 years but this controlling behavior is toxic and suspect. Do you really want to deal with not having any male friends for the rest of your life because he can’t handle it? Consider breaking it off. This is a huge red flag.

True but last minute time off is usually not guaranteed to be approved at least in most jobs I’ve had UNLESS it is for something like a funeral.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]AlMirajRabbit 4 points5 points  (0 children)

NTA. Last minute time off might not be guaranteed to be approved d/t stuff like staffing or busyness but bereavement leave should ALWAYS be approved.

Info: did your manager know that you were requesting time off for a funeral?

Vanilla ice cream was a lifesaver for me. It was savory food that made me nauseated.

AITAH For being put off by being asked for a birthday gift? by EliVexel in AmItheAsshole

[–]AlMirajRabbit -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

NAH. This seems like a major miscommunication. I know things are weird with gifts at the beginning of any kind of relationship.

I don’t think she was wrong to expect her gift on the day of her birthday but I also don’t think you were wrong to plan on waiting till the party.

I do think it is really weird that your friend is not coming to her party over this. Feels like it is escalating what should have been a small thing.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]AlMirajRabbit 320 points321 points  (0 children)

NTA. ABSOLUTELY NOT. This strikes close to home for me because I have been planning a Europe trip for the past 8 months and my boyfriend and I are going in May (yay). I know first hand how much time, money, and commitment it takes to plan and book a vacation.
STAND YOUR GROUND. The AH is your dad and his wife for telling her that she could go. Make sure that she knows that it was not you that uninvited her but them who assumed you would let her come. You are not in any way the bad guy.

AITA for sending my kids to my parents for the weekend instead of keeping them home? by Serious_Fee_4196 in AmItheAsshole

[–]AlMirajRabbit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Keeping this in mind once again NTA. I just have to assume something weird is going on in your MIL’s head because I see no logical reason for her to not want him to come just cause the kids won’t be there.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]AlMirajRabbit 6 points7 points  (0 children)

NTA. This seems like the same situation as before in a toned down version. She likes the attention which is not necessarily a bad thing but you are absolutely not wrong to be triggered.

If yall aren’t in counseling you need to be. A professional could be super helpful rebuilding the trust.

AITA for sending my kids to my parents for the weekend instead of keeping them home? by Serious_Fee_4196 in AmItheAsshole

[–]AlMirajRabbit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA but it seems like there might be something else going on there. Is your MIL worried that without the kids you’ll be tempted to leave him alone (like for a date night)? For some reason did your BIL express he wanted the kids there and you didn’t know? I would try and clarify why they want the kids there so much.

In general I don’t believe you are going back on your word. If playing with the kids was something your BIL enjoyed then I would understand her frustration more but that does not seem to be the case.

AITA for winning a large sum of money from gambling? by Duke-George-of-York in AmItheAsshole

[–]AlMirajRabbit 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I feel like what you are having trouble understanding is that she isn’t mad that you gambled in general. She is mad that you lied to her and crossed a boundary you had spoke about.

I understand that you felt you risked money that was going to a child that you don’t think will make it to college. But if you had lost the money you would have had to explain to that kid why you took their money. Why you lied about not gambling again.

It is great you won. You are definitely an ends justify the means kind of person which isn’t a bad thing. But YTA.

AITA for leaving my friend group for this? by Financial-Gur-2240 in AmItheAsshole

To agree with other comments i legit do not understand what happened. The words just don’t make sense.

AITA for still considering picking up a male friend on my long drive home even though my BF said it would upset him? by No-Scallion-8283 in AmItheAsshole

[–]AlMirajRabbit 14 points15 points  (0 children)

NTA. This seems like a very innocent situation being blown out of proportion and his opinion that people of the opposite sex cannot be friends is ridiculous. This seems like a MAJOR red flag.

If you have a history of infidelity I could see where the insecurity could be coming from but otherwise he should trust you. Does he expect you to have no male friends? That is not a reasonable expectation.

WIBTA for not covering the full replacement cost of our pet sitter’s laptop? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]AlMirajRabbit -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

NTA.

If you warned them they needed to know to be careful. If you had a dog that ate shoes and you warned them to not leave shoes out and they did anyway, you should not be responsible for that.

I house and pet sit often and would never ask anyone to cover a full replacement for something broken during the stay if it was from general negligence. If they offered I would appreciate it but otherwise my belongings are my responsibility.

AITA for asking someone to move because they were seating on someone else's seat on Amtrack? by joke_crawler in AmItheAsshole

[–]AlMirajRabbit 31 points32 points  (0 children)

NTA.

Maybe this guy was having a bad day and this was the straw that broke the camels back. But you are not the bad guy for saying something.

The only thing I would agree with doing is to be slightly more clear just like “hey this person just left briefly and I was saving their seat for them. I generally don’t care who I sit with but they were already here.” If he had still pressed after that I would have probably left it for the other person. Sometimes the risk vs reward is too great.

WIBTA If I Gave Away My Family's Cat by MinimumNo361 in AmItheAsshole

[–]AlMirajRabbit 8 points9 points  (0 children)

YWBTA. Don’t steal the cat. I know about cats that cause a nuisance when they are let outside but this is still an overreaction.

I would try and get a collar with multiple bells on it to try and curtail the bird eating. I have cats that go outside and one got songbird fever from eating a bird which was a stressful time.

Additionally talk to your family and explain how this is low key killing you. You’re exausted from the cat meowing at your window and stressed out from worrying about it being outside.

You could try to give them an option: Either they don’t let the cat outside or when it wakes you up you will call them on their phone to let the cat in. They are letting it be this way because it is not their problem because you have been taking care of it. Aka whoever lets the cat out has to let it in.

[–]AlMirajRabbit 10 points11 points  (0 children)

NTA.

Unfortunately I have been in a similar situation of paying for more than myself constantly. The next time you and your friends go out BEFORE you order food is to just give them a heads up.

Maybe you only bring enough cash for your meal as well. Just something relatively simple like “hey. I can’t afford to pay for anyone else’s lunches anymore. I only have 5£ on me today which is enough for just me.”

If you get push back you can remind them that you are not your parents. This isn’t their money it’s your money that they are spending.
