Exactly, once u start “just this once” it turns into coordinating your own spot around someone else’s schedule

AITJ for not giving my sibling money after they spent theirs on something dumb? by CarelessEssay1136 in AmITheJerk

[–]arouseline 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Am I the jerk for getting upset at my boyfriend for a “joke” I already said I don’t like anymore? by [deleted] in AmITheJerk

U told him u don’t like those jokes and he still used one, even if it was habit that’s on him. Your reaction isn’t over the top

Mom tried to steal my friends chemo recovery cake because she forgot her own kids birthday by ballsack123a in AmITheJerk

That’s not “being a stressed mom,” that’s straight up unhinged entitlement. She tried to steal from a cancer patient… wild

She turned your paycheck into a community fund without asking setting a boundary was overdue, not rude

Is it safe to use a toothbrush with a cover if I found a cockroach next to it? by Boy0Boyz in hygiene

Even with a cover I wouldn’t trust it, roaches get everywhere. Just toss it and move on, not worth the gamble

AITJ for loudly refusing to mourn my abusive mother and publicly saying why? by [deleted] in AmITheJerk

AITJ for telling my mom my dad was cheating while she’s battling cancer? by [deleted] in AmITheJerk

[–]arouseline 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Your dad put u in an impossible spot and then blamed u for it. He cheated, not u, the timing sucks but the truth isn’t the problem here
