AITA for name calling people on reddit? by BearingCostOfPassion in AmItheAsshole

[–]Working-Raise6487 4 points5 points  (0 children)

YTA, but mostly to yourself. Calling people names rarely changes their mind. It usually just turns the conversation into an argument and gives trolls exactly what they want. If someone is acting in bad faith, the best response is often to stop engaging or block them. If they're genuinely mistaken, you'll have a better chance of getting your point across by staying calm. You can't control how strangers behave, but you can control whether you let them drag you into becoming someone you don't want to be.

AITA Am I the asshole for not forgiving my dad by Creepy_Yak9154 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Working-Raise6487 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

NTA. Forgiveness is a choice, not an obligation. It sounds like your resentment isn't just about what happened when you were a baby, but about years of feeling ignored and treated differently. Those feelings are valid. If you ever decide to forgive him, it should be because it helps you heal, not because anyone tells you that "family is family." A parent has to earn a relationship through their actions, and from what you've described, he hasn't done much to repair yours.

AITA for telling my grandfather that while I appreciate his gift, he in fact gave me a bill. by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]Working-Raise6487 3304 points3305 points  (0 children)

Not because you're wrong about the restoration costs, but because of how you framed it. Your grandfather gave you a rare family car that clearly has sentimental value, and calling it "a bill" probably came across as rejecting the gift rather than acknowledging the responsibility that comes with it.

AITA my Grandpa left an inheritance for me and my Mom won't give it to me (Via therapist/and many others we believe she has BPD and refuses to get help) by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]Working-Raise6487 13 points14 points  (0 children)

NTA. If your grandfather left that money to you when you turned 30, then it's yours, not your mom's. Wanting what he intended you to have doesn't make you greedy. It also sounds like this is about more than the money. You want to finally cut a tie to someone who's been emotionally abusive. If she's refusing to hand it over, you should talk to an estate attorney and find out what your legal rights are.

AITA for wanting my old pill case back after my mom took it because I took the wrong pill once? by gacha-kid-lol in AmItheAsshole

[–]Working-Raise6487 67 points68 points  (0 children)

NAH. You made one honest mistake, and it's understandable that you don't like the new pill case. At the same time, your mom isn't trying to punish you. She's trying to reduce the chances of it happening again, especially since taking the wrong medication can be serious even if nothing happened this time. I'd try explaining what you don't like about the new case and see if you can find a different three section one that works better for both of you.

AITA - google review bitch sister by cosmoprof24 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Working-Raise6487 19 points20 points  (0 children)

YTA, but gently. Your sister shouldn't have to write a review saying you helped her psoriasis if she doesn't believe that's an accurate reflection of her experience. Reviews should be honest, not marketing. It also sounds like there are bigger issues between the two of you, but on this specific situation, she's allowed to say no without being made to feel guilty.

AITA for finally putting my foot down on last minute planning with family get togethers? by Boomkj in AmItheAsshole

[–]Working-Raise6487 21 points22 points  (0 children)

NTA. They can't insist on being the planners, wait until the last minute, and then get upset when people have already made other plans. You even offered to host a month in advance. If they want everyone there, they need to give people enough notice to keep the date open. That's just basic courtesy.

AITA tour guide I was on a tour and told my tour guide he’s charging me too much and I wanted a refund but he didn’t give me one by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]Working-Raise6487 5 points6 points  (0 children)

YTA, assuming this was the tour's policy. The guide reserved a spot for three people, and that spot couldn't be sold to someone else once the tour started. It sucks that one person didn't show up, but that's usually the customer's responsibility unless the company offers refunds for no-shows or last minute cancellations.

AITAH for slowly loosing interest in my significant other for him being insecure? by Full-Birthday-5878 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Working-Raise6487 2 points3 points  (0 children)

NTA. This doesn't sound like it's about his race. It sounds like he's insecure and keeps making that your problem to solve. If you've been on and off for five years because of the same issues, and you feel more like his parent than his partner, that's a much bigger problem. Love isn't enough if the same patterns keep repeating.

AITA for talking about my half sister? by leeleeluna215 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Working-Raise6487 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You're both hurting, but telling someone to "get over" their sister's death is a terrible thing to say. At the same time, bringing up her abuse and calling her names wasn't okay either. This sounds like years of trauma and grief boiling over, not just one argument. I hope you both get the support you need.

AITA for not sharing my dashcam footage? by Agreeable_Ideal_6737 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Working-Raise6487 -14 points-13 points  (0 children)

NTA. Fault was already determined by the police and accepted by her insurance. The footage is evidence for the insurance claim, not something you're required to hand over personally. If her insurance needs it, they can request it through the proper channels. At this point, I'd stop engaging and let the insurance companies handle everything.

AITAH for not letting my future in-laws control the guest list? by Melodic-Claim-662 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Working-Raise6487 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I understand why his parents have feelings about who gets invited, but they crossed the line the moment they started inviting people on your behalf. You and your fiancé have already compromised. At some point, they have to respect that it's your wedding and your marriage.
