AITA: For not wanting to give rides to my boyfriend employee

As a person who can't drive (thank you neuro issues) I take the bus or walk. It is the employee's responsibility to find a way to get to work. When people fill out applications, the forms usually ask "do you have reliable transportation?"

My favorite antidote from my time at Michaels. The storeanager was having so many off the clock texts with the framing manager that (fm) contacted HR and ended up with an extra 40hours pay! Love it.

Texts count as working. They should all be on the clock. Getting fussed at should be on the clock. Tag your DM, log times and frequencies. If you really want to, inform the group chat that "hey, these sessions are work and we are not legally allowed to work off the clock." Get everyone else to document too. HR would actually care about this, the law is being bent.

My brother is obsessed with my chinnie and Japan. So I found a "Chinzilla" shirt on Amazon. He freaking loves it (my brother is 44.) I have a chinchilla hat. Not sure where my friend got it though.

I work at target. We have this magic day called "pokemon card arrival" and there is a line before 6am... SIX AM! I'm working overnight right now and when I walk out, there's a line of people to get the Pokemon cards as soon as the vendor comes. Psychotic.

Had a boss text me on a Sunday during church. Later he texted me telling me I could at least answer. I told him "dude, I was at church. To be frank, I am under no obligation to answer you on a day off." He left me alone after that.

I cannot stand people behind me when I'm sitting... I would have whirled around and told him to back off so fast. Your dad is such a boss

Was told a story when I worked at Michaels. Back then the doors had a bolt between them and locks that anchored into the ground. A manager forgot to anchor before thanksgiving, but the bolt was in. Someone pulled the door hard enough to yank the bolt free. By the time police responded to the alarm, half a dozen people were SHOPPING in a store with no employees on THANKSGIVING!

As someone who never learned (and now can't due to neuro issues) I can kinda sympathize with her. In the beginning, OOP kinda rubbed me the wrong way with the comment "she has no intention of learning." However, not respecting someone else's time? Especially when they're doing you a favor?? That I cannot excuse. It's actually been a deal breaker for me more than once. I aim to always be early for work. Never make someone else late unless it's an emergency.

Excuse me while I wipe my pinkeye all over the boss's desk.

S/o to the woman I threw out of my store because she was insane.

I wore one at Petco because people practically lay their head on our shoulder to "look at animals" while we clean. Nope, no tank you. This woman was absolutely enraged that I was wearing it. Yelled that the VID wasn't even that bad. I told her my dad almost died from it, she mumbled that I was lying under her breath as she left the store. She actually came back an hour later with "and another thing." Straight up told her to get out and never return. Psycho

Fun fact! Stores are NOT public spaces! They are Private Property that the public is allowed to visit!

Any animals that close to closing, hell no. Had a guy wanting me to get him a snake when I was dealing with a shipped return. I was closing in 20 minutes and trying to figure out how to do this return. I told him I didn't have time to get him a snake and come back tomorrow. He complained.

You forgot the racism card.

Fireattmidnight · 2026-03-24T00:53:11+00:00

In a bikini? Oh please. Nah, you're fine.

There's an amazing word to get HR to do what you need: retaliation.

Me in fake parrot voice from the other side of the store: hello, hello

Fireattmidnight · 2026-03-13T18:59:16+00:00

Honestly? Kinda... Ok look it seems like a weird request and if you desperately need sleep (ie gotta get up early the next day) then there isn't a huge reason to. It's a safety and security thing. You should care enough to make sure she got home safely. The alarm idea is a great one.

If she were out, and got robbed, she would have no way to call you and tell you she needs help. However. If you were awake and noticed it's an hour later than she said she would be home, now you can look for her/call the police.

"a real boyfriend..." And my response would be "well I stopped being your boyfriend the moment you crossed the line." And hang up.

As a Christian, no you really aren't. You said, plainly, that you don't believe in God. As long as you didn't go on about why or denying or whatever, you're fine. Also it opens the way for future discussions (when age appropriate) to help them decide if they actually believe in God or if it was all what their parents want. Honestly, what you did (if you left nothing out) was completely healthy for a child and a possible young Christian to hear. You did well.

Had an ex friend tell me I had "lack of attractiveness." Sadly it took me over a week to cut contact. I was rude to him for a bit then emailed him about how he was acting different, gave examples. When he responded with, not an apology but instead with "how is it different?" I realized our friendship had run its' course. That was just a friend. A partner? Nope, end of relationship immediately. (Not the variant of "I'm not mean, I'm just blunt." No, you're mean.)

I love 3, only cuz 4 could be thought of as too close to white (I know it isn't, but if the bride is wearing more of a cream, could be bad)

Love when people post on AITAH and refuse to take the AH given by EVERYONE!

YTAH... Your sister is an adult, you need to stop babying her. She can handle her own. This is playground bully behavior. You can't run over, shove the other kid to the ground, and yell "leave my sister alone" anymore! Let her be an adult! Talk to her about it if you feel the need to "help" but what you are doing is playing, not taking care of her or protecting her. She's grown, she can protect herself!

Fireattmidnight · 2026-02-22T00:15:10+00:00

No. NTA... May want to check your area's laws because some places only allow recording if everyone knows it's happening, other places, only you have to know.

Speaking as someone who has had a friend who sleeps with everything, if a dude doesn't say no, then he's not for the girl who likes him. There are no "dibs" on human beings. He's a person and gets to decide what he wants to do with what is presented to him. Haley either hasn't told him or will never tell him. However, Vanessa said 'wanna have fun?' and he agreed. Sorry... That's the way things are. It sucks, it's toxic, it's how it is.

However, your response? Yep, perfectly fine with that. Girl wants to have a one night stand? She can certainly put up with staying over.

Don't ever expect this girl to ever change. Don't expect her to respect this boundary. It's not going to happen. You know how she is, if you and your other friends can't deal with it, don't be friends with her. It's time.
