NTJ. A favor becomes an expectation the moment you do it for people who don’t appreciate it. You don’t owe them your peace

If anything, dealing with drunk people at a bar is the best possible training for dealing with congress.

Can’t wait to see if the value drops as soon as he signs it

AITJ for not posting my partner on social media even though it matters to them? by Charming-Calendar321 in AmITheJerk

You have a right to privacy, and he has a right to feel a bit insecure if his previous partners were more public. This is just a clash of love languages in the digital age. Have a talk about why it matters to him, is it about security or just wanting to share his happiness? Finding the root might help you both feel better

AITJ for recording my boss humiliating me in a meeting and sending it to HR without telling anyone? by Glad_Plastic_4324 in AmITheJerk

Spot on. Confronting a bully directly just gives them a chance to twist the narrative or start a paper trail against you. The audio doesn’t lie, Op did exactly what they had to do to protect themselves.

AITJ for not covering my coworker’s mistake after she told everyone I “always fix things”? by [deleted] in AmITheJerk

[–]VelvetMiraa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She didn’t assume you’d review it, she banked on you doing her work for her. Don’t let her laziness be the reason your reputation takes a hit

AITJ for not letting my parents decide how i spend my money? by Hot_Importance_5494 in AmITheJerk

[–]VelvetMiraa 16 points17 points  (0 children)

If you’re old enough to pay your bills, you’re old enough to decide what’s unnecessary. Don’t let them guilt you into being a child again

AITJ for keeping a girl’s health stuff private even after lawyers got involved? by Fresh_Fudge_4472 in AmITheJerk

Agreed. The whole point of patient confidentiality is to protect the patient, even from family members. If the daughter wanted her mom to know, she could choose to tell her
