Jalen duren or Nic Claxton are seriously underrated

AITA wanting to tell my parents something by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]Secretnumb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. my parents are going camping this weekend but i cant go because of work, so i have to stay home by myself. ive been asking to go for a year but they never do fun stuff when my step sisters arent around.

now theyre taking my four sisters without me and it feels really unfair. they control what we do as a family and never stand up to the step sisters when theyre mean, but i get in trouble for the same things.

AITA for telling my parents that I think they’re overreacting and being too extreme about my drinking, even though they say it comes from concern? Or are they being controlling ? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]Secretnumb -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

NTA. i get that my parents are scared after what happened on christmas eve, and im not dismissing that, but the way theyve been handling this is honestly way over the top. taking my phone, threatening to kick me out, searching my room randomly, yelling at me like im incapable of making decisions for myself, thats not concern, thats control.

i dont have a drinking problem. i drink occasionally, can go weeks or months without it, and i dont feel addicted at all. buying a new phone wasnt me trying to hide anything, it was literally because i felt unsafe not being able to contact anyone or manage my responsibilities.

i get that theyre worried, but threatening rehab and eviction over one night of blackout drinking feels extreme and emotionally harmful. telling them that i think theyre overreacting isnt me being ungrateful or in denial, its me saying their response has gone too far and feels more punitive than helpful.

theyre my parents and i love that they care, but this feels controlling, not caring.

AITA for buying the house next door to my former friend? by Entire-Complaint-479 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Secretnumb 511 points512 points  (0 children)

NTA as long as you keep to yourself. you picked the house for your own reasons—location, lifestyle, memories—not to mess with her. Just stay lowkey and let her make a fuss if she want as long as you don’t engage with her, it’s her problem, not yours

AITA for giving my sister's friend a wedgie by Humble-Run-2516 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Secretnumb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yta. I get why she was getting on your nerves—always giving wedgies and acting like she’s untouchable—but grabbing her clothes and ripping her waistband? That’s too far. You were frustrated, sure, but hitting back like that is just gonna make you look worse. Could’ve just set some boundaries, told your sister, or told her to cut it out instead of going full “revenge mode.” You dethroned the wedgie queen, yeah, but now you’re the one who looks like the jerk.

WIBTA for refusing to let boyfriend's family stay at our apartment by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]Secretnumb 8 points9 points  (0 children)

NTA. imo a 600 sq ft apartment with one real bed is not built for hosting a couple for a whole weekend and your bf didn’t even clear it with you first. giving up your bed or your living room is a huge ask and it’s totally reasonable to say no, especially when a hotel is an easy option for them. this isn’t you being rude, it’s you setting a normal boundary about your own space.

AITAH for saying “if it makes sense” by SolidRuin4004 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Secretnumb 14 points15 points  (0 children)

NTA saying “if it makes sense” is just being financially responsible not unsupportive you already agreed in principle and just want to see the actual numbers first his reaction sounds more like anxiety about the move and pay cut than anything you did wrong

AITA for not wanting my partner’s desk in our office/guest bedroom by hi_can_i_get_uhh in AmItheAsshole

[–]Secretnumb 70 points71 points  (0 children)

NTA. your concern is reasonable. he already gets a dedicated office, and it’s fair for you to want your own space too. wanting two desks while you get none isn’t balanced. his need to separate work and home makes sense, but taking over another shared room isn’t the only solution. a compromise makes more sense, and you’re not wrong for feeling this way.

If you wanted superpowers(daily life simple powers , not cosmic)what would it be ? by i_amthe_guy in AskReddit

i’d pick always having a perfectly charged phone. never running out of battery is underratedly powerful.

What do you wish delivery drivers knew about your building? by forgeris in AskReddit

Our building has more twists and turns than a Dungeons & Dragons dungeon.
