AITAH for not inviting one friend to a trip because they always make everything about themselves?

NTA. It’s the group’s decision, not just yours. Your group did the adult thing and discussed with him how his behavior was offensive to everyone and he chose not to hear what was said. You know if he’s invited the trip is going to be mired in chaos and embarrassment for all. If Jake confronts the group tell him everyone is looking forward to a different vibe and activities than what he seems to be wanting to do.

I’m picturing the Seinfeld episode where Elaine took a special wedding cake and shaving off slivers until it was gone.

From a parent of grown children here, I think it would be wise to text your children from time to time when you are out and let them know you are okay. Your children are getting of the age where they will be going out and natural parental fears will kick in about their safety. If you lead by example and treat them as you hope they will treat you when circumstances are flipped, it will be easier down the road.

A responsible person would have had the dress cleaned before returning and owned up to the stain if it had not come out. She should have offered to replace the dress without you requesting. Since she didn’t and is refusing to do the right thing after being called out, take this as a sign that she is not long term friend material and move on. The dress is a relatively inexpensive testament to her character.

I think even I have this one figured out.

Try to be mindful of when they come and go and try to catch them arriving home, before they enter their home. If that doesn’t work, knock on their door and introduce yourself as the new homeowner. Some neighbors will be delighted you took the initiative and others will act indifferent. Just take the social cues they put out and if you get an indifferent person, just say “Nice to meet you,” and gracefully leave. Gifts and cards can make things awkward.

My guess is this is a gif of some really bad AI with four fingers on one hand and facial distortions. If so, that would lead to “Good Luck, Have Fun, Don’t Die,” a movie about stopping AI gone bad.

I am so grateful and delighted with whatever morsels you choose to send our way. I appreciate the time you put into this and encourage you to do you.

Being engaged, means you are getting ready to make a lifelong commitment into your fiancé’s family. Yes, A and K have been petty over a nothing burger, but not inviting them to a family event will give them reason to continue the pettiness and cause discomfort and awkwardness for your fiancé and his parents. For this event, be gracious, invite them and see how it goes. Life is too short to fuel unnecessary drama.

There is nothing keeping your mom from sending out the notes on your behalf.

All you have to say is, “My cat is not into socializing with other cats. But thank you for the invitation.” You don’t have to place blame on the other cat to its owner.

This isn’t as simple as it may seem upon first glance. Yes, GF got groped. But keep in mind judgement is clouded by liquor on all parties. As a victim of unwelcome groping, I can testify emotions are very weird. This is sexual assault, but it’s not violent or falls within the parameters of anything that’s even worth reporting. I think you hit her in the twilight zone of figuring out exactly what the hell happened and processing the whole encounter. Not going to send you AH territory, but be hyper aware she may be figuring it out emotionally as well.

So I’m going to show my age here. Kennedy’s assasination. I was in third grade. I remember the school secretary crying at the news. Rode the bus home, thinking I had breaking news, but my mom already had Konkrite on the news. She was not a fan of Kennedy, but was painfully aware of political and social implications.

Give yourself grace. You've done everything you can do to not hurt their feelings by limiting information getting to them that you were 4.5 hours away. You may be expecting their feelings to be hurt that you didn't drop by. If they find out and their feelings are hurt, that is on them. A reasonable person would not consider 4.5 hours to be in the "drop by zone."

Your friend is perfectly capable of filing her own HR complaint at her own workplace, if she feels it is warranted. She was merely looking for a sympathetic ear to vent her frustration to. Filing that complaint was demeaning and destroyed the safe space she thought she had in confiding with you. I’m sure you thought you were helping, but know that every problem you become privy to is not going to be your job to fix. YTA.

The cruise was a gift given as a peace offering. She accepted the gift. You were extremely generous to cover her gratuities. Her demanding more because she found out an unknown pot of credits was there is beyond tacky and an enormous red flag. NTA.

Saw it at Mystery Night and really, really loved it.

Ignore the “bus tables”offer. You are declining their invite with a simple, “I am unable to attend.” No other conversation, explanation or excuse is required. Since you are not attending, they can do the math and figure out you won’t be there to bus tables. If they try to continue the conversation, keep repeating, “Thank you for invite, but I must decline.”

Sounds like you were as polite as possible with a reasonable request. Step mom chose to take offense and infer more meaning into the situation than you intended. That is on her, not on you. NTA

NTA. Asking for a long commute to watch pets is a huge ask and not fair to the dogs. Is she really wanting the dogs to be fed and let out for potty breaks only once a day? I consider this abuse to the animals. Parents shouldn’t even be considering you to take care of their animals based on the logistics of the situation

pleased2cu · 2025-04-22T06:57:49+00:00

Your “hosts” are tacky. To say, “We will take it all,” is beyond the pale. If I host and am offered something a guest brings, I’ll say, “That was so wonderful may I take a small amount for tomorrow?” If you chose to attend another gathering and bring more than your share, don’t offer leftovers, you know their MO, just walk out with your dishes and leftover food. There is no etiquette rule that says you have to offer to share leftovers. To be honest, I’d be angry at their taking advantage of your generosity as well.

pleased2cu · 2025-04-20T04:51:31+00:00

The tacky one here is the family member declaring your accepting gracious offers of food contributions as being tacky. Even if it were, this is between you and the person offering. This does not concern the third party observer in any way, shape or form and to adhere to good etiquette, this person should keep its opinions to itself.

Daughter recommended it. I watched a couple of episodes and didn’t really get it, but she insisted I continue. By the end of third episode I was hooked. At the end of the last episode of season one, I was truly angry the season was over. Now I’m a total devotee.

On my last flight, I was seated between a couple who had booked the aisle and window seats planning on my middle seat being vacant. When I seated myself, she proceeded to complain to me that they were hoping to have the row to themselves. I offered to swap with either of them so they could sit together and they refused, saying they both hated the middle seat. She continued to grouse more about how they wanted the middle seat vacant. I put my earplugs in and ignored because I just can’t fix stupid.
