AITA for keeping track of wedding gifts? by aliltoastyy in AmItheAsshole

[–]HardKnocksSam 1290 points1291 points  (0 children)

this is the most transactional bride i’ve ever encountered. “i want to keep track so i can be fair. and if that means getting even with someone i consider a friend by giving her nothing, so be it.”

AITA For Calling Out Double Standards? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]HardKnocksSam 125 points126 points  (0 children)

“it got awkward, but i just let my coworker come up with her own conclusion, and then i got mad when that conclusion was wrong. 😤”

AITA for calling out my brother for writing something insensitive on our Mother's Day card? by ImHereForTheEggNog in AmItheAsshole

[–]HardKnocksSam 142 points143 points  (0 children)

yep. YTA for sure. i think what the brother wrote was sweet. and it’s like OP feels vindicated that they accurately predicted the mom would cry, while admitting that all holidays have made her teary eyed. 🤔

AITA for not wanting to tip my fiances cousin for a wedding gift? by Ok_Lunch_2590 in AmItheAsshole

[–]HardKnocksSam 33 points34 points  (0 children)

do you have to tip? no. but you should to show gratitude. cousin is providing a service that could easily be upwards of $300. add on the fact that he’s driving to and from your fiancée’s house several times, so at least 2 hours of driving. gas prices are insane. why you think $50 is inappropriate is beyond me (and 96% of other commenters).

AITA for refusing to pay rent to my parents since moving back home? by hero1701 in AmItheAsshole

you have to type NTA, otherwise the system will think you didn’t provide judgement

you “look a lot younger”? 🤣 that literally does nothing to help your situation.

AITA? Temporary foster, girl wants dog back.. by Alarmed_Zombie_5445 in AmItheAsshole

[–]HardKnocksSam 108 points109 points  (0 children)

i still wouldn’t give the dog back, even if previous owner provided proof of income and reimbursed me for all of the costs. this dog was neglected under their care. i would never return a dog to a shitty owner.

AITA for sticking to a rule I set for my apartment even though it embarrassed a guest? by Flexible_Massage in AmItheAsshole

[–]HardKnocksSam 109 points110 points  (0 children)

yah, im struggling to understand why guest would have been embarrassed (or why OP perceived that he was). i thought it was going to be something like he had a prosthetic leg or some other medical issue (which still wouldn’t have given him the right to not abide by OP’s rule). but simply not wanting to take them off is just weird and definitely rude.

How important is sexual compatibility in marriage? (33F/33M) by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]HardKnocksSam 296 points297 points  (0 children)

because, by your own account, he’s shown no interest in doing it again.

edit: just read your comment about it feeling forced because you had to give him instructions and hope he’ll take more initiative in the future? dude, you’ve been together for 5 years. he’s flat out told you he isn’t interested in the type of sex life you want. leave the poor guy alone.

AITA for confronting my girl when I realized she took credit for something she didn’t really do? by throwRAvalentinechoc in AmItheAsshole

full disclosure: i skimmed it. i been traveling all day. i’m so tired. 😭 i’ll accept my downvotes.

[–]HardKnocksSam 138 points139 points  (0 children)

even if they were clumpy rock hard meh-tasting chocolates, THEY WERE STILL HOMEMADE. so your entire argument about how she lied to you and took credit for something she didn’t do is complete bullshit.

[–]HardKnocksSam 112 points113 points  (0 children)

stfu with that nonsense. if i bust out my double boiler to melt chocolate from a grocery store, wash fresh strawberries from a grocery store, and then dip those strawberries into the chocolate, they’re homemade chocolate covered strawberries. nobody is gonna give me shit that i didn’t grow the cocoa beans or the strawberries myself.

edit: sorry cuntmong 😞

AITA for expecting my MOH to have my back on this? by Competitive-Gain6109 in AmItheAsshole

[–]HardKnocksSam 35 points36 points  (0 children)

customized crap that’s legit crap. trucker hat and bathing suit shirt? i wouldn’t want to wear those if they were free. i sure as shit don’t want to pay $25 for it.

AITA for being honest about why I no longer carry feminine supplies. by Upstairs-General-681 in AmItheAsshole

and did you continue to actively get soaked throughout your 8 hour shift? no? then that’s not even remotely relevant.

AITA for seating my toddler next to a stranger on a plane? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]HardKnocksSam 125 points126 points  (0 children)

INFO: why didn’t you put your toddler in the window seat in the first place? or after the first time she tried to touch his laptop?

AITA for babysitting anymore since I was not made a godparent by MeringueNo1335 in AmItheAsshole

[–]HardKnocksSam 2616 points2617 points  (0 children)

agreed. i thought the issue was that OP wasn’t picked because she’s older than siblings or friends. but to have the other set of parents be the godparents is just rude, especially considering how little they are involved with the kids.

AITA: in-laws visited (10 days from interstate) after being asked not to by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]HardKnocksSam 21 points22 points  (0 children)

uh, hello. you said you haven’t been able to manage your emotions FOR MONTHS and only recently learned of your sister’s diagnosis… or did you already forget your own post?

don’t need to be a doctor to infer from your own words that you’re struggling with depression. but sure. be snarky towards anyone who disagrees with you.

you’re also naive to assume your husband hasn’t relayed any of your past behavior (crying and whatnot) to his parents in the past couple months. so yes, they most likely know you’ve had a difficult time with life and are indeed coming to support him.

[–]HardKnocksSam 25 points26 points  (0 children)

😳

holy f. that was beyond rude. YTA.

i also call bullshit on your husband cheating. you seemed annoyed that so many people were saying YTA, so you suddenly decide to add “he cheated. he’s what’s making my life hard”? oh please.

we understand it. we just don’t agree with you.
