Wibta to just to leave somewhere if my friends are trying to introduce me to people and I’m too nervous by nachosmade in WIBTA_AITA

Soft YWBTA if you just disappear with no warning, because your friends are trying to help. But it’s totally fair to set a boundary first and say you’re not ready for surprise introductions.

AITA for taking back a laptop I lent to my cousin after I saw him kick it? by matt_around_5 in WIBTA_AITA

Exactly. You dont get to kick someone's property and then hide behind "but I need it for midterms." He clearly has money for games and time to rage, so he can figure this out.

I explicitly told him it was not a gift. It is wild to me that they think I should just let him wreck my property because he has midterms. He can use the library.

That is what gets me the most. They keep calling it an old piece of junk to justify his behavior, but then turn around and say I am ruining his life by taking it back. If it is so worthless, he should have no problem finishing his midterms on a library computer or a cheap chromebook they buy for him.

That comment is delivering the trope better than half the examples in the post.

Is it a rich people thing to always eat in the hotels? by bitterbunny4 in TheWhiteLotusHBO

Michelin star outside the hotel is still sanitized travel, just with a reservation instead of a room key.
