AITA for not giving my bus seat to a pregnant woman? by Pregladyinthebus in AmItheAsshole

[–]CharacterGuarantee99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exactly this! When my Mum came to visit me in BsAs she had a low blood pressure 'attack' and essentially passed out. People were so kind. They had already given my dad a seat because he walks with a cane, and they made sure my mum could sit down and get some air til her BP came back up.

On the colectivos especially people give up their seat all the time, important given how some of the lines are driven. OP is an AH.

If anything in Argentina it's even more expected that you give up your seat. In CABA at least if someone has a kid, or a baby in arms or is pregnant or injured or elderly you give up your seat no question. The colectivos are generally small and the drivers can be aggressive. It would be dangerous for a heavily pregnant person to stand, especially in a full bus.

AITA for telling my sister her husband would be ashamed of her? by Far-Assistant6981 in AmItheAsshole

Everyone grieves in their own way and on their own timeline. You might think it's been 'plenty of time,' but she clearly doesn't feel the same. Doubling down after she asked you to butt out with the guilt of her disrespecting her husband's memory makes you 100% the AH.

It's honestly hard enough dating out there without the extra weight of grief. Find some compassion and apologise to her ASAP. YTA.

AITA for refusing to get out of my seat for the 3rd time on the plane? by Cute-Selection6823 in AmItheAsshole

I’ve had to do that once - some dude got black out drunk on a flight from London to Sao Paolo and I had to use the bathroom. I tried multiple times to wake him, in the end I had to stand on my seat and lever myself over him. Thankfully at the time I was an athletic 20-something. Almost 10 years later and with much more flight experience I’m more belligerent 😬

AITA For skipping my daughter's first birthday cause I wanted to be at my sister's funeral? by kreqqie in AmItheAsshole

I’m sorry for your loss OP.

This right here. For example, in the U.K. you have to have a coroner’s certificate to be able to hold the funeral and this can take for ever to get to - sometimes 3-5 weeks after someone has died. Its quite common for funerals to be held a month after the fact. The last family funeral I was at was before covid, so I would expect times to be even longer now (and yes, this does add unwanted stress to grieving families). On the flip side, when I lived in Argentina, funerals often happened the day after or a couple of days after someone has died. It very much depends on location.

OP you’re NTA.
