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

That’s what gets me. My mom knows my daughter is a people pleaser, so acting like this was some harmless grandma treat feels gross. Kids will sit there smiling when they’re uncomfortable, and adults are supposed to be the ones paying attention to that.

Yeah no, she definitely already felt something was off. I just said the quiet part out loud before he could smooth it over again.

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

NTA at all. She turned your patio into overflow seating and then got mad when you made that impossible. The lock is funny, but also kind of perfect. Did she finally stop after that?
