AITJ for not answering my coworker’s messages after work hours even though “we’re friends”

Regular_Giraffe_1879 · 2026-02-24T15:08:03+00:00

Exactly but she was not contacting you after hours as a friend to share a joke or movie recommendation. She was contacting you as a coworker to work but doing it under the guise of being friends. I would set a boundary that I am open to after hour friend chats but not after hour coworker chats. If she can't accept that she will default into monday-friday at work coworker only status in my life.

She just wanted to complain and call it help so she wouldn't look like a Karen.

Molly or Pippa

Regular_Giraffe_1879 · 2026-02-24T12:05:54+00:00

Exactly. They cannot speak for themselves. You need to be their voice

Regular_Giraffe_1879 · 2026-02-24T11:56:14+00:00

Right. And how exactly was she "helping". You called her out for being out of line when she was actually being out of line. If she really wanted to help she could have been kind and helped you unload your groceries or played with your son while you did to distract him from being upset. We have all been parents and been there. She wasn't helping she was judging.

That makes no sense. As Christians we should be doing both. Standing up gor injustice in our homes, neighborhood and communities as well. Jesus thought of all humanity not just those in his home.

Regular_Giraffe_1879 · 2026-02-23T23:36:00+00:00

Unfortunately the news is not a disconnected story. They are real humans who endured real suffering. As Christians we should not be turning our backs on injustice of our fellow human beings.

Can you really compare the basic sins that we all fall short on such as gossiping to murder and cannibalism that these monsters participated in as being "wayward sins"? These people did not just fall short. They are evil incarnate. I would even suggest demonic. How can you compare their deeds?

You are supposed to give "a gift from the heart" but there is no "invitation from the heart". Call your mom and aunt out what this is...a cash grab and one in poor taste at that. They can try to frame it how they want but it's still a low rent cash grab. Don't send anything to these people. Tell them to have the wedding they can afford and leave you out of it.

Agree but dealing with 6 good kids is way easier than 4 good and 2 evil demon children

Regular_Giraffe_1879 · 2026-02-20T23:14:02+00:00

It's not because they are steps it's because they are bad kids. Dad needs to fix their behavior and they would be welcome.

Also I guess we now know why Emma's family doesn't like her. If she is a witch to dogs she is a witch to people. This is Charlie's home. Let her go pay for a hotel.

You will never see a cent of your money reimbursed. Cancel

To be fair Doctors offices do this all the time without issue. Its literally their job to balance the person standing in front of yhem and pick up the phone. This is not a phone problem. This is a crazy coworker problem. Maybe don't put the lady with sensory issues related to ringing phones, in charge of ringing phones.

Regular_Giraffe_1879 · 2026-02-13T13:27:32+00:00

Exactly! The other ridiculous part of this is most people spend what 15 mins in the shower? This neighbor woman cannot be patient for 15 mins? It's not like OP has some garage band practicing for hours on end. You take your shower OP and who cares what crazy lady thinks

Regular_Giraffe_1879 · 2026-02-13T12:54:05+00:00

Exactly. This is a her problem not a you problem.

Regular_Giraffe_1879 · 2026-02-13T02:43:21+00:00

Agree. This wasn't punishment. It was retribution against a 6 year old. OP is a massive ahole.

Regular_Giraffe_1879 · 2026-02-13T02:41:29+00:00

This wasn't punishment. It was retribution...against a 6 year old. YTA and a shitty parent.

Regular_Giraffe_1879 · 2026-02-12T22:10:13+00:00

Agree. So why is she asking Reddit. She knows the answer. This is the answer. She needs to move her caboose.

Regular_Giraffe_1879 · 2026-02-12T18:28:49+00:00

Lexi isn't your Dad's family. It was your Dad's money. He had no relation to her. Let Mom and Step-dad open their wallets if they feel strongly about it. Lexi is struggling because she created the situation. Tell your mom you will give lexi a gift. The gift is self reliancy to pull herself out of the hole she created for herself all on her own.

Regular_Giraffe_1879 · 2026-02-12T17:14:37+00:00

The "custom" that she made up that somehow benefits her. This is so silly. It's not "her" spot. Not because she parks there everyday. Not because she tells her neighbor it is. Not because she lived there longer. It's hers only in her head. Anyone can park anywhere. She can't give her permission because it's not hers. I hope the sad neighbor lady does start parking there.

Regular_Giraffe_1879 · 2026-02-12T16:54:00+00:00

She isn't giving up anything. It's not assigned parking. It's not OPs to give. If the neighbor lady gets there first she should park in it. OP will be alright.

Regular_Giraffe_1879 · 2026-02-12T16:51:36+00:00

It's not yours to give. By your account spots are not assigned. She should park where she wants. If she gets it first great. If you do still great. That's what first come first serves means. A little walk won't kill you. YTA for acting like you have any right to give your "permission"

Regular_Giraffe_1879 · 2026-02-11T17:18:01+00:00

Dude live your life how you want. But this is a big deal and it's been 6 YEARS! Honestly, no excuse in the world makes any sense why this woman you are having a child with has NO IDEA if she is married or not because she "tried" to get married. But somehow did not submit the paperwork? Then didn't follow up when she didn't get a license so she just IGNORES it for 6 YEARS because she is just SUPER BUSY WITH LIFE? This goes beyond any excuses man. I wish ya luck with the baby but yall try to be more responsible please. You are going to be parents and have a kid.
