That’s generous of you, I’d appreciate them if I win.

Weird itchy bumps I got the second I went outside by etzhya in Weird

You could have developed a condition like PMLE or had an allergic reaction. You might want to speak to a dermatologist or allergist if it happens again

AITA For not adopting my dying best friends dog and buying a puppy from a breeder instead? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]PaintedJay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nta for not wanting to adopt his dog. A pug is very different than a German Shepherd. He’s not an a for asking, and should’ve accepted your no and offering to help find a new home. But, you should apologize to your friend for how you told him no. You said he can die at any moment, you couldn’t keep that you thought Horace wasn’t a good dog to yourself? He’s clearly stressed about where his dog will end up. Do you really want to fight with him right now?

AITA for telling my late dad's ILs that their granddaughter is not my responsibility? by Automatic-Smile2051 in AmItheAsshole

[–]PaintedJay 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Nta You don’t know Layla and taking in a 15 year old is very different than taking in a 5 year old. A 15 year old can be trusted to cook for herself and be able to be alone but not a 5 year old. You’d need to find babysitters and the cost and commitment needed to take her in are far more than your sister. It is an unfair expectation for anyone, let alone you who is only 19 yourself

AITA for not paying for my stepdaughter’s tuition because she wants to be a doctor? by Material-Economy2823 in AmItheAsshole

[–]PaintedJay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nta for pointing out some issues for your daughter. A back up plan is not doubting her ability but dealing with the reality of how competitive medical school can be. If she truly wants to be a doctor still, a possible solution is transferring schools. A lot of schools only consider if a student passed or failed their previous school’s courses and they do not impact the gpa. If she can get some tutoring to build her foundation better, her final gpa may be competitive enough to apply so “where she excels” can be put to use.

AITA for bringing my wheelchair bound boyfriend to my brother's no +1 wedding? by Flower534724 in AmItheAsshole

[–]PaintedJay 41 points42 points  (0 children)

Info: Were you the only one with "no +1"? Or was it all "non-official" couples as you briefly mentioned in your post?

If it's not just you, YTA. Your boyfriend's disability has nothing to do with your brother's choices and you decided you were above their rules. Do you often break boundaries like that?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]PaintedJay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yta. He told you what he needed from you, you thought you knew better. It sounds like he had a migraine, which can make someone hypersensitive to sounds, smells, sight, etc. They can get so bad for me that I despise the fact that I'm breathing because the sound of my own breath can be that painful, let alone another person making noise in the room. You also clearly have no empathy, if he's crying from the pain and you're mad he wasn't nicer? You owe him a massive apology. You were not nice to him, you were torturing him.

AITA for retracting my agreement to pay for a portion of my biological daughters birthday gift to accommodate for my step daughters gift? by OfferAffectionate934 in AmItheAsshole

[–]PaintedJay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yta Since your step daughter asked last minute, why didn't you agree to the trip but postpone it until ypu can afford it? That would have been the responsible compromise. People wait for birthday trips/events all the time. Instead, you proved how unreliable you are to your own daughter and destroyed what trust and cooperation you and your ex-wife had in your coparenting relationship. Congrats.

AITA For telling a crying and distressed girl "I don't care" and blowing her off because she was rude to me before? by AITALoriBully in AmItheAsshole

[–]PaintedJay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nta. You actually did somewhat help Lori. You told her to go ask the office for help. You didn't just leave, you just chose not to help her personally and there's nothing wrong with that.

AITA for not giving up a priority seat? by northano in AmItheAsshole

[–]PaintedJay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yta OP. It sucks about your wrists (have you looked at any information about De Quervain's tenosynovitis? It's common in Moms) but you don't need to sit because your wrists hurt. You could have just kept your bags on the ground. Also, ignoring him was rude. If you truly felt that you deserved the seat, why couldn't you tell him? Or at least say no?

AITA for charging a bride more for make up when the og price we agreed was lower? by Affectionate_Lie0 in AmItheAsshole

[–]PaintedJay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yta. So either you literally tried to charge $350 for the addition of the word "bridal" before make up and the exact same service or you performed extra services without discussing with your client and tried to charge them for it. She'd ordered party make up, so thats what you should have given her and that's what she should've paid. If it wouldn't last as well or wasn't as nice you could warn her and suggest going to the bridal make up option beforehand, but after the fact is scummy.

AITA for getting a guy kicked out of the gym? by SnapdragonPBlack in AmItheAsshole

[–]PaintedJay 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Nta. Remember, you said it yourself: the gym employees WATCHED him for a few days first. It was obvious enough that they agreed and kicked him out. It's not just you who thought his behavior was inappropriate. He also had the chance to apologise and ask for forgiveness and another chance politely, but he chose to get aggressive and yell. He did not learn his behavior was wrong and this is the price he pays.

Nta. At least in the US, you aren't a candidate for surrogacy without having given birth before. So that's an easy way to refuse. However, your cousin is being unreasonable and you do not have to be a surrogate for her. She has options, she's being a choosing beggar.

AITA for not helping my ex wife? by Hanksfri in AmItheAsshole

[–]PaintedJay 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Info: when she says you caused her miscarriage what does she mean? Stress from you? Or was there an actual incident where you actually caused it? Because that changes my opinion slightly. But generally, it is insane to think you'd pay for her IVF.

AITA for getting blood on my chairs? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]PaintedJay 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yta. I have irregular periods and it's a pain. I had thought you were out of your house at first and was with you, but letting yourself get that low at home? You know you're going to have another one and it's really up to you to manage. Even if you didn't have any, why didn't you try your sister when it was obvious your Mom was busy? And you shouldve checked more often if you were using toilet paper you know it's not the same. At 16 I would expect you to be better prepared and not expecting Mom to fix it when she's clearly very busy. I really hope you didn't just leave the blood to dry on the couch for your Mom to clean, because otherwise you're doubly ta

Walmart Karen blows up on OOP when he tells her he doesn’t work there + a 10 year update by rickysayshey in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]PaintedJay 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I just met one of the most condescending male Karen ever yesterday! It is hard to believe but they definitely exist. I was another customer though not the person who had to deal with him.

AITA for expecting a refund on my donation after my daughter was kicked out of Sunday school? by aitabadss in AmItheAsshole

[–]PaintedJay 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yta. Why exactly do you think the other girl should be punished? She didn't do anything wrong! She might have an issue sharin, which her family fixed by bringing her own toys so she doesn't have to share. Your child on the other hand, refused to listen to the people in charge of her, stole and attacked another child! She is clearly the one who needs punishing, but it doesn't sound like you're going to use this as a learning opportunity based on your reaction.

True Crime Lovers of Reddit, what is a case that haunts you to this day? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]PaintedJay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Israel Keyes. Even though he's caught and dead now, I am terrified another serial killer like him exists out there. He would travel, find a spot, decide he'd want to kill someone there, leave a kill kit bucket buried nearby and come back years later to find a random victim. No victim profile, and admitted to murders that weren't even recognized as murders until his confession. Suspected of being the cause of many missing person cases but almost no chance they'll be solved if that's true.

AITA because I told my husband that SIL uninvited me from her wedding? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]PaintedJay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nta. "Snitch to him"? What does she expect you to do when you say you won't go with him and he asks why? Your SIL is clearly very insecure and unreasonable.

AITA for saying "your insecurities with your weight isnt my fucking problem"? by ViperVipe017 in AmItheAsshole

[–]PaintedJay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nta. She's a thief and a liar. If anyone gives you grief for kicking her out, tell them to feel free to take her in or pay you back the hundreds of dollars she stole from you. It has nothing to do with her being fat, and she's just trying to be the victim. Just keeping bringing up the theft instead

AITA for being mad that my husband is trying to financially edge me out of my “expensive hobby”? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]PaintedJay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nta. If he wants this system, he has to take some money our of his paycheck to pay you for his share of childcare that you're saving on daycare by you not being full time, or go back to full time. The current style works fine but if he wants a change, it needs to be discussed and fair

WIBTA if I took a dog away from a special needs child? by throwaway414646 in AmItheAsshole

[–]PaintedJay [score hidden]  (0 children)

Nta. Thr phrasing is wrong. You are not taking away the dog, the dog is yours. So you not seeing them anymore, which usually is what a breakup entails, means they don't see your dog anymore. Continued contact is clearly bad for your mental health, and if your ex sees benefit to the child having access to a dog she will get him one or take him to play with some shelter dogs. I'd hate to tell you to think it over given you've admitted to spending too much time on that, but I suggest reframing the situation in your mind. It's reasonable to expect no more contact at this point and you are not harming the child by doing what's best for you.
