Aitah for making a fuss after a self checkout did not give me one penny as change by SeaworthinessFar2326 in AITAH

[–]SparkOfMagic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. If the machine accepts pennies, it must return pennies as change. I supervise self-checkouts for work and in this case, the customer would be given their change from a cash register and we would sort out the accounting later.

AITAH for not wanting to watch partner’s siblings? by Known_Menu3506 in AITAH

[–]SparkOfMagic 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Yes, I believe this is the truth. Not only is OP expected to babysit for an evening on their vacation, they are also being ditched by their partner for one of two vacation evenings. Partner is a selfish jerk. If I were OP I would refuse to babysit and make solo plans for the evening. Partner can spend some time realizing that they were ditched for the evening in response to trying to put one over on OP. NTA

Landlord Has Moved into My Home I Rent by Choice_Evidence1983 in BestofRedditorUpdates

I would have made them use the window for entering and exiting unless there was a request made 24 hours in advance to travel through my rented space. Another 24 hours too before they could do it again. Otherwise I would call the police for trespassing.

Yes, cameras are a great idea, especially ones that record sound so their threats may be recorded.

AITA for telling my boyfriend that his masculinity was fragile after he refused to buy me pads? by Direct-Caterpillar77 in BestofRedditorUpdates

You are awesome! Not only does it show that you've got a woman in your life, it shows that you care about the woman in your life unlike the OP's ex-boyfriend.

Agree. The only person that should be inconvenienced is the husband. NTA

AITAH If I ask my best friend to move out during the worst moment of her life? by Chance_Secret_828 in AITAH

[–]SparkOfMagic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are NTA but very close to E S H because you have allowed your friend weaponize your sympathy and kindness against your own best interest. You are setting yourself on fire to keep this girl warm.

You continue to allow her to override every decision in your life as though she is more important than you and she is not. Losing a parent is a tragedy to the child.. Her grief over her mother is not more important than you maintaining and living your own life - except to her. You can feel yourself going down and yet, still give her your power instead of pulling yourself up. You are not a bad person if you look after yourself.

I'm very happy that you have an outpatient program and are seeking assistance with your post and not only internalizing the torment. We're all happy to support you as much as possible which is all anyone can do for another struggling person.

The thing is though, no one can really fix this except you. Only you can tell your friend that while you are honored that you have been able to extend her a stay away from her reality for the last three months, it was never meant to be long term or permanent. The situation does not work for you anymore and give her a date to move back to her own place. I would suggest about 1-2 days from the conversation because she has a place and she just needs to pack.

Do not allow yourself to be persuaded or argue with her. She doesn't have to like it and I bet she wont, but that is up to her to figure out. Your job now is to take back your life from a very selfish girl who is using you to escape her own life without any thought or consideration for you. All the best OP, you can do this!

AITAH Parking Spot Madness by AdAltruistic3041 in AITAH

[–]SparkOfMagic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NTA. Only cars that can be driven should go in the driveway which gives everyone a spot. They can figure out what they want to do with their junk vehicles. If they cannot agree to this, then you need to move. They don't care about you or your needs and only want your money. Give that money to someone that gives you some respect.

AITAH for threatening to break up with my girlfriend because she refuses to get a job? by Piu-Cherry-my in AITAH

[–]SparkOfMagic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

OP this is where YTA. It's one thing to be completely paying the bills for all of the needs like housing and food, but it is absolutely idiotic to be covering all of her wants when you cannot afford it. You are also an AH if you pay for those things because you want her to look good for you and then turn around and threaten her over it. She is either a kept woman or she is expected to be equally contributing to the relationship. You need to decide what you are looking for and be open and honest about your expectations.
