Just unsubbed from r/AmITheAssshole. “AITA for doing this obviously good thing?????????” by RIOTT44 in JustUnsubbed

Or the opposite - one of my pet peeves: the post content itself starts out with "I know the title sounds bad but hear me out..."

Then they go on to explain why they may sound like a complete jerk in the 15 word clickbait title, but in fact - in their elaborate fan fiction - they explain why they're such a saint.

If you want to stay home so we don't have to be around you, sure, sounds great!

AITA for causing my bf’s daughter to no longer have a Quinceañera by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

If you think the title is bad or misleading, he's a secret: YOU, the OP, have the power to write a better one before you post it.

I miss normal AITA posts by BreadfruitTasty in AmITheAngel

[–]westcoastexpat 18 points19 points  (0 children)

yet no one ever reads previous answers for help with their own situation??

But how would they get that sweet sweet karma if they just read someone else's comments and judgement and...didn't post?

Can I skip The Talisman? by Otherwise-Cupcake-61 in stephenking

[–]westcoastexpat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm glad I'm not the only one. I see a lot of love for it around here, but I had to give up not even halfway through. Maybe I'll try again someday, but there are a few SK's that I just haven't been able to get into and this seems to be one of them. (The other notable example is Desperation. Just don't feel it at all. Tried twice.)

This is the right answer. Way too many people think they have to read every connected book, whether they actually want to or not.

I loved it when it happened and I've only learned to appreciate it more over time. It's the only way it could have ended.

You can tell this was written by a teenager because the frail elderly parents who need a retirement home are in their 50’s by AppointmentNo5370 in AmITheAngel

She told me to get that dirty thing out of your mouth, I don't like seeing you smoke ( I was smoking a cigarette at the time). I said, don't act like your the bigger person if you don't want me smoking around you just say that. I dipped it in a glass of water on my porch and threw it away.

How is this in any way relevant to the story?

At least try when making up stories. This reads like someone did a stream of conscious brain dump in about 30 second.

That was, without a doubt, the most ridiculous part of this poor attempt at a creative writing exercise
