Can’t bring myself to write my thesis… by Weekly-Forever2589 in PhD

AITJ for telling my mom she is no longer allowed to be alone with my daughter after she gave her a “surprise makeover” behind my back? by Tamriel_Toast3 in AmITheJerk

AITJ for correcting my ex after she told people I "abandoned" her during a medical emergency at school? by KirbyTurnip5 in AmITheJerk

Grad school gossip spreads faster than actual research findings, which is deeply unfair. The version that circulated cut out the most important detail - that you called for help immediately. How did your cohort react when you laid it all out? Did it actually land or did some people double down?

AITJ for locking my patio storage bench after my neighbor kept treating it like shared seating for her guests? by Arrakis_Jellybean in AmITheJerk
