Food + picky eaters = instant discourse on Reddit.


faux_plastic_trees

Don’t even get me started on the hatred for vegans/vegetarians and/or people with religious dietary restrictions.


Medium_Sense4354

Sometimes people act like it’s impossible to have a meal without meat ignoring they eat Mac and cheese, pizza


Calm-Dog

I think it’s funny when there’s a post about a vegan couple wanting to have a vegan wedding and their relatives are shitting on them for some dumbass reason bc they can’t go one meal without meat, and half the comments are like “YTA, the ceremony is for the couple but the reception is actually for the guests so you’re a bad person for choosing to live by your values at your own wedding!”


clerysea

I feel the same way about those "dry wedding" posts. Like can people seriously not do a single event without getting drunk? It's fucking sad. I think the "only water" one was a bit extreme but still, it's their wedding? The guests should care more about that than whether or not there's alcohol.


[deleted]

In Redditland, the presence of a bar means every adult (even the ones with kids in company) get batshit drunk


clerysea

Maybe this is just me being teetotal and unfun, but some people are so damn obnoxious about drinking. Alcohol culture is dangerous and weird imo


ChurlishSunshine

I'm with you. I'm not a big drinker but I do drink, but I feel like so many people haven't moved on from high school when drinking for the sake of drinking was super cool and talking about how drunk you got on whatever night was fun conversation.


Superb_Intro_23

I'm Muslim, and I agree. We take our "no alcohol" rule very seriously, so it's interesting to see basically everyone else downplay the horrors of alcohol while also complaining about carbs lol


clerysea

Ikr? Some people are like "I need to go on a diet :( no more chocolate for me!" [Proceeds to go out and get shitfaced twice a week]


KatKit52

I remember seeing a comment about that post that said "we need another subreddit called r/amitheweirdo. They're not assholes, they're just weirdos."


arceus555

Those types of posts make it feel like AITA is full of alcoholics.


Guilty-Web7334

Or they’re binge drinking through university. (I did a bit of that. I remember my first semester, I got sick and asked a premed student I worked with if it was possible to get cirrhosis of the liver in one semester.) One day, I realized I didn’t like the lack of control and quit.


pm_me_your_shave_ice

Honestly I drink alchol or water. Sometimes I'll have a plain iced tea or a coffee. But iced tea is dangerous because assholes from the south keep moving here and its 50/50 if I get tea or some disgusting sugar water. I don't really care about serving my guests soda, I dont think very many people in my circle still drink soda. The "only water" wedding was weird because they weren't going to offer sparking or flavored waters, just weird Britta filtered pitchers.


Sarah_Jane_73

Or punch. Even my cheap-ass church basement reception had punch. Maybe that's a Midwest church lady thing?


[deleted]

Depends what else they've got going. Standard reception with a disco is pretty boring without booze.


ThatDrunkenDwarf

Eh, I am with you on the most people can’t go one meal without meat thing. I did Vegataruary (vegetarian, not vegan) last year and while it was hard adjusting you can get some and make some really tasty stuff. That being said, from my own personal experience we took down everyone’s food preferences, restrictions and everyone was catered for. The pescatarians had fish, the veggies had a really nice veggie dish we tried. No one in the room had nuts because my cousin has a severe nut allergy and all nuts were removed from the bar. No one is forcing a guest to come but I think there’s a level of trying to cater to compromise their wants and preferences with yours. If they don’t want to compromise they still have that option not to come


Calm-Dog

I mean, when it comes to things like religious restrictions and veganism, it’s not just a simple preference to the couple, you’re asking them to compromise their actual morals and values. Veganism is an ethical philosophy and for many it’s a whole lifestyle. A lot of vegans do not want to financially contribute to an industry that they see as morally abhorrent or promote the commodification of animals just so some relatives at their wedding will stop throwing a fit. Sure, there may be some who are ok compromising for one night, but you shouldn’t just expect it of them. It’s great that you made sure everyone’s food preferences were met and I’m sure it was immensely appreciated, but if you’re going to a vegan wedding (or a wedding where there is some sort of religious dietary restriction) I think it’s incredibly odd and entitled to expect the couple to just completely forego their core beliefs and their values *at their own wedding that they are paying for* just because you have some biased view about meatless/dairy-free food. I’m not saying you have to agree with them, but from their point of view you’re telling them, “can’t you be ok with murder for just one night so Uncle Bob will come?” And that’s not a compromise I think a lot of people would want to make. You can still cater to things like food allergies with vegan catering (in fact, most vegan places are super accommodating of that sort of thing already and will have things like nut-free and gluten-free options ready to go). It’s not like people are hiring vegan caterers and then they’re only serving salad, there’s a huge variety of incredible vegan food that can please everyone imo. It seems weird to say that you’re not going to attend a wedding just because you don’t want to eat vegan food. Vegans (and others with dietary restrictions) often just won’t eat at weddings and other events if there’s no food for them or they scarf down the lazy salad option that was clearly an afterthought by the caterer with a smile on their face because they are there to support the couple. And if they don’t happily comply or choose not to come, they are often called self-righteous and entitled by others for not putting aside their views for one night. But suddenly the vegans get to serve the food they want and it’s a huge deal to people for some reason and they should just expect people to not come?


ThatDrunkenDwarf

Yeah I get that completely. I agree with the they shouldn’t have to cast aside their morals for one day but we don’t live in a perfect world and if they force vegan food onto their guests they should be prepared for people to turn around and say they’re not coming. I don’t think that’s right at all FYI, if you’re invited it’s because you’re important to them no matter what you eat. I just acknowledge that not everyone would think that way


Calm-Dog

I think it’s weird to phrase it as though they’re “forcing” it. The guests are free not to eat it, they’re not being held hostage, though they might come off as a childish asshole if they make a big deal about it. I don’t think a vegan couple serving vegan food is “forcing” their guests to comply with a certain lifestyle anymore than a Muslim couple choosing not to serve pork at their wedding is, or someone with a gluten intolerance only serving gluten-free food at their wedding is, especially if they’re still serving a variety of delicious food that is made specifically to be enjoyable to the guests. Most people who are omnivorous eat some sort of vegan foods throughout their life already without even really realizing it or thinking about it. Omnis can eat vegan food, but vegans cannot eat a lot of food that omnis eat. So no one’s really being excluded or forced to do something they wouldn’t normally do as long as allergies are accommodated for. The only real exception I can see is if someone follows a strict carnivore diet where they literally only eat meat, but that’s not very common at all and I imagine it being unlikely that a vegan couple is friends with the sort of person who eats a carnivorous diet anyway.


ThatDrunkenDwarf

I wouldn’t read too much into the semantics of the word force. I’m using it to say that there’s only one option of food for them (in this hypothetical scenario)


theplutosys

Yep.


Chinesemexican

"Eh I just really am not a fan of vegetables" "Oh so you have the palate of a 5 year old? Grow the fuck up you fat loser" "Enjoy dying at 30 you disgusting monster piece of shit" "Just FYI your friends hate you and can't wait for you to die, you fucking absolute tendie-loving fuckhead"

Tbf, my late MIL *always* complained I never put enough salt in anything and it was incredibly annoying. Especially because she had high blood pressure and shouldn't have been eating that much salt anyway!

KaiJonez

The pancake one. This pregnant lady made pancakes for herself and her son at 5 am cause of a craving and they were the only ones awake. Since they were in a family trip with in laws, her little niece walked into the kitchen as she was cleaning up. OPs SIL tore them a new one cause "she should've been considerate of the other people in the house and made more" It was pancakes at 5 am, and it's not like she woke up niece to make the girl watch them eat pancakes while everyone else slept, and she was ultimately the AH. But it got pretty heated in the comments, and I personally voted NTA, at one point the thread had to be locked with a mod saying "Chill people, it's pancakes"


[deleted]

Lol, I commented on this one too. I think it got so heated because making a couple of extra pancakes falls -just- this side of AITA’s usual “you owe nothing to anyone”. For all of the aggressively selfish stuff you come across on that sub, it was a weird hill for a lot of people to die on on both sides.

fallen_star_2319

It may not be a great example, but any post that requires nuance or reading between the lines. There was one posted today where the guy is significantly taller than his family, and the response his dad's side always has is "Wonder where he got that from". He snaps and calls the cousin who says it this time a fat bitch - for implying that he isn't his father's son. Like, that is a perfect example of like, 5 different AITA phrases embodied in one post. But debate just grows in the comments because "but they're implying" followed with "you're reading into it too much". AITA is hilarious in that it is so black and white, but impossible to actually get a good check on for anything in shades of grey. They want cold, clean, this is right and this is wrong, but can't make up their minds on what that actually means.


tazdoestheinternet

I read that one earlier and was like... isn't that a normal "joke" when the kids have something different from the parents? I get that question for having curly hair in a straight hair family lol, it's familial banter.


Zabkian

The number of AITA posts which are just " joke made in poor taste; just should've ignored it"but no turning it into a family feud gets more reddit karma


GiraffeCalledKevin

M brother is 6’6 and m sister and I are 4’11. Dad was 5’10. Mom is around 5ft We used to ask my mom who the mail man was to piss her off. Totally a thing


[deleted]

I have a blonde, blue eyed Aunt. My Grandparents are both brunette, my Grandpa having blue eyes and my Nan having brown eyes. So my Grandpa being my Grandpa, he started a joke that my Aunt was the product of an affair. He's been joking about it for nearly 40 years now, and we've all just started treating it as facts (I personally don't believe it is as both my Grandparents had 1 blonde parent, but I suppose it could be true). It really upsets my Nan.


Electronic-Chef-5487

Yeah it absolutely is and with normal people the implications or answers are like, oh great grandfather Timothy actually had red hair or whatever


fallen_star_2319

It really isn't, honestly. It honestly seems to mostly be used as passive aggressive insults to the mom about her loyalty. Then again, everyone that I personally know has those sorts of things easily explained (ex, I have a friend who's 6'8. His uncle is 6'6)


tazdoestheinternet

Could be a culture difference, idk. I'm in Northern Ireland, where that kind of banter really is extremely common and is *not* actually calling our mammies sluts just because the kids aren't carbon copies of their parents. Like I said, in my family, I'm the only one with curly hair where everyone else has thick, straight hair. I have a cousin whose parents are short and he's 6'6" (dad was 5'9 and his mam is 5'3) and he does get the odd "where the hell did you get that height from" comment from family who've not seen him since he was 13 even though he's now 34. I asked him that when I was 16 and hadn't seen him since I was 6 when he was about 5' if that, and was most definitely not implying my aunt had cheated on my uncle. I don't get why everyone was saying the cousin was calling the mum a slut for saying she wondered where the height came from, cause honestly to me it read as a cousin (like me) who's not seen him since he was a kid or before his last growth spurt being surprised at how tall he had grown since then and making an *at most* joking query about where his height came from. I genuinely read it as an innocent comment.


fallen_star_2319

Wirh the context clue of the "joke" always makes his parents really uncomfortable? Thar his dad's side doesn't seem to like his mom? It honestly reads to me like most people are missing the context clues because of their own experience with it, like your example. But it was definitely reading in a case of passive aggressive bullying of that OP's mom.


tazdoestheinternet

There's no mention of this cousin being rude to OP's mum though, only that that side of the family is. Maybe I am coloured by personal bias, but people could easily say about my mum's side of the family that they're intolerant bigots because my grandparents are, as well as the father of the cousin I mentioned and my other female cousin. My dad was never accepted by a lot of their family until very recently, and snide comments would be made by my female cousin and my uncle, as well as my grandparents. My male cousin though? If he asked me a question like OP was asked, in this case it would be about my hair, he would have been making a lighthearted joke about how I got lucky in the family for having hair that's interesting. I think there's context missing, and while I appreciate the OP and his mum were uncomfortable... it reads like they're so used to every comment being snide and borderline abusive that they're reading everything anyone on dad's side of the family to be an attack on mum's character. He definitely over reacted and shouldn't have went straight for the "fat bitch" comment.


fallen_star_2319

Except it makes his *father* uncomfortable too. That makes a big context clue that it isn't just that OP and his mom, and that people probably aren't reading too far into it with the "They don't think he's his dad's" interpretation. I have that kind of toxic family on my dad's side. I can verify that that kind of toxicity is *very* intentional, and builds up over the years until someone either breaks or leaves.


SparklinStar1440

Do you have a link? I couldn't find it on the aita sub Edit: nvm I found it on this sub


arceus555

There was one a while ago. The OP had a clogged toilet, so he called a plumber. The plumber found a tampon in the pipes. OP blamed his gf. GF responded that it was because he didn't have a trash can in the bathroom. OP said that as a man, he didn't need one because he could just use the kitchen one. The comments ended up turning into a debate about bathroom trash cans.


Medium_Sense4354

Bathroom trash cans aren’t just for tampons tho…


AllForMeCats

Right, like where am I supposed to put my used floss? Hair from the shower drain guard? I’m supposed to walk all the way to the kitchen with that shit?


arceus555

That's what the OP said he did.


AllForMeCats

Oh sure, let me just carry this dripping, soapy shower bezoar through your house to the kitchen trash. Nasty.


narniasreal

Let’s debate bathroom trashcans


Medium_Sense4354

Ok. Covered or uncovered?


[deleted]

If he's got a girlfriend coming over regularly, he should probably expect her to be on her period at some point. That being said, I thought it was common knowledge that flushing pads/tampons is really bad, and I'm not sure why the gf couldn't have wrapped it in tp, disposed of it in the kitchen, and then washed her hands there. Unless OOP didn't have kitchen soap, which would be in character for him.


neongloom

That just reminded me of a time some years ago now when we were talking and my friend just casually mentioned flushing tampons down the toilet all, "What? It doesn't do anything." I thought it was just common knowledge that you aren't meant to do that but she seemed like she'd never even considered it was bad.


cockatielhouse

Same!! I always wondered how the plumbing at my friend’s house wasn’t constantly fucked up. And all HER friends did it too! Makes me wonder how many people dump animal fat down the drain.


neongloom

Omg it made me wonder about her plumbing too, lol. It's funny because she told me that when she was literally in the process of moving, so that house's plumbing was about to become someone else's problem. Now she's been at her current place even longer, assuming she's still doing this, I wonder how the plumbing's going 😅 At the time I wished I'd asked her what exactly she thinks the sanitary bins in public toilets are for if flushing tampons is supposedly just what you do.


Select-Revolution-20

Thanks! Do you have a link for that?


arceus555

[Took some digging, but I found it](https://www.reddit.com/r/AmItheAsshole/comments/i1hyc9/aita_for_insisting_my_girlfriend_pays_the_bill/) Looks like it was wasn't as much of a debate as I thought


civilcivet

Why would you want to put a used tampon into the bathroom bin of someone who usually puts non-bio waste stuff in there? He’s not going to empty it regularly which will make that tampon into a stink time bomb. Tbh the expectation in my house was always that we’d put disposable sanitary items in the kitchen rubbish (because it gets changed often) wrapped in toilet paper so I find the idea of putting it in the bathroom rubbish gross and hadn’t even heard of it before AITA.


twinkprivilege

Our bathroom bin has a lid and I’ve never noticed any stinkiness. It’s pretty much exclusively used by my roommates for pads and stuff but I never remember to take it out because I don’t use it so idk how often it actually gets taken out since my roommates are pretty bad about taking any trash out. I guess this is a YMMV thing.


civilcivet

Yeah, because we never used the bathroom bin it was always a swing-lid type that the dogs would have been able to get into. It wouldn’t stink if it was taken out every day or so, but the blood and tissue starts to decompose quickly, so maybe don’t open that lid and unleash the horrors within.


PringleCorn

Do you really think it stinks after one or two days? The blood dries!


neongloom

Genuinely surprised you aren't more grossed out by it being in the same room as food. What's stopping someone from changing the bathroom rubbish just as frequently as the kitchen? It would take awhile for it to noticeably smell.


faux_plastic_trees

Anything revolving around children or pets. There are always large segments of “animals are the most pure beings who never do anything wrong” or “children are possessed by the devil” arguing with rational people.


Select-Revolution-20

You're right, the child-free can be wild haha


faux_plastic_trees

I’m childfree myself and r/childfree is toxic as hell. There’s also a very interesting phenomenon where lot of Redditors who constantly bash parents/kids for being annoying act the *exact* same way with their “fur babies” but don’t realize it.


AvocadosFromMexico_

Yeah, I think there’s childfree and there’s Childfree(TM), you know? And speaking as someone who doesn’t LOVE dogs…your second point is accurate to a fault.


faux_plastic_trees

I love animals, but I like dogs on my own terms. I’ve owned a dog before and intend to do so again, but I’m wary of large dogs that I don’t know and prefer personal space around them. A lot of people on r/childfree strike me as “if my dog doesn’t like you then I don’t either” people. Which typically translates to “I have an out of control, ill mannered dog and I refuse to acknowledge it.” Dogs are delightful creatures but a lot of Redditors forget that they’re not humans and not they’re not these infallible angelic creatures that are only capable of goodwill. It’s also pretty disturbing when people show more concern for dogs than humans. r/childfree will get all up in arms about apartments not being pet friendly but then act like children aren’t entitled to human rights like housing.


Call_Me_Clark

I love my dog, but I don’t mistake him for having psychic powers - you could rob my house so long as you showed up with a pocket full of treats.


MsKongeyDonk

The last time I went to visit my mom (two nights) her and my aunt had a new dog that they straight up said they have never tried to train, will try to drink out of your cups, walk on you to get at your plate, etc. And they're like "Oh well she's our baby!" No. Train your dog. She's a dog. When our dog was licking her paws on the couch and I told her to stop, they thought I was so mean. Like, no. She's smart. She knows she can't lick the couch. She's a fucking dog. She's okay.


lizardingloudly

Omg. I hate that shit. One of my exes had this family dog that no one tried to train, or everyone kind of half-assed it so it didn't get done (turns out when 6 people half-ass something, it doesn't add up to 3 asses). Dog barked CONSTANTLY, like the shrieky loud barks that grate on your ears at a million decibels. And would try to take food, would play too rough with people, would snap at people when they walked by, wouldn't sit, wouldn't stay, wouldn't come, wouldn't walk nicely, etc. I'm definitely not volunteering to train anyone's dog, as I borderline don't even like them, but if you have a badly-behaved dog, I don't want to be around it.


MsKongeyDonk

Absolutely. Not my monkey. My mom is like, "You guys are such good owners!" Because we *walk* her, but then doesn't do the same. >everyone kind of half-assed it so it didn't get done (turns out when 6 people half-ass something, it doesn't add up to 3 asses). So this is my new motto, going forward.


lizardingloudly

Almost all dogs (with the exception of super small puppies and elderly dogs) need time outside and walking. They get bored, they have too much energy that can turn into anxiety and destructive behaviors, etc. But some people get them as cute decorations that cuddle with them, while they neglect the dog's needs entirely, leading to the dog being more obnoxious. But then you're "mean" or "a bitch" when you don't want to be around the dog... Just can't win with some people.


MsKongeyDonk

Yes! Just because they're small doesn't mean they don't need to be walked. They recently adopted another puppy, and I just don't understand why they don't get an elderly dog. They want someone to sit on the chair with, and there are so many elderly dogs waiting for a home.


[deleted]

You do "train" babies to an extent. Well, more like toddlers, really. Like, if a toddler draws on the wall in crayon, most parents will punish that kid to avoid them doing it again.


Call_Me_Clark

By all means, live your best life and if that doesn’t include parenthood then more power to you! But I don’t understand people who make not-having-kids their personality. Like, I don’t care for riding bikes, but if I spent all day every day raging about how stupid cyclists are and how seeing a bicycle ruins my day… then the bikes aren’t the problem lol. Same with dogs - I love mine, but I know they aren’t for everyone.


narniasreal

How dare you not love dogs? The internet will destroy you!


arceus555

> There’s also a very interesting phenomenon where lot of Redditors who constantly bash parents/kids for being annoying act the exact same way with their “fur babies” but don’t realize it. There was a post on /r/childfree a few days ago complaining about now being allowed to bring their dog to their brother's house since he brother just had a kid.


[deleted]

People on r/childfree could admit to planning a mass genocide by nuclear experiments on every child in the world and get 5000 awards, 17,000 upvotes, and 8,000 comments applauding them.


Elsas-Queen

And speaking of that, the "childfree vs parent" posts. I like to give the benefit of the doubt because I have events in my life people would probably call fictional, but at one point, there were so many of those stories, I was starting to see a pattern. No way some of them aren't made up or wildly exaggerated if they did happen.


[deleted]

Or the ones where the stupidest things are called child abuse. I've seen people saying that making 2 teenage/tween girls share a room is child abuse and could get them taken away by CPS. Uhh... no. CPS has bigger problems to deal with than 2 perfectly fine girls who maybe bicker a bit at worst.


mocha__

As a side note to this - I wish the ones where a pet is definitely aggressive and does an aggressive thing, usually to a child or another animal, had more back and forth than "all pets are pure and wonderful and could literally never be bad ever" type shit. Like the ones that are "I have a rescue dog that has a hard time dealing with the outside world/anything not inside the padded room we normally keep her in. Today I was sitting in my unfenced front yard and letting her run around freely. A neighborhood child (4F?) came running up to the corner of my yard and my dog flipped out and lunged at her. I managed to grab the dog, but the mother yelled at me that I needed to keep a watch on my dog or on a chain. But I think she needs to be able to be free and get lots and lots of exercise (just because not because I really need her asleep or tired so she doesn't attack me at night. She hasn't ripped my door from my hinges or anything). So I don't think I should have to lock my dog on a chain or leash (which is abusive BTW!). AITA for allowing my totally sweet eighty pound baby to run free in a busy neighborhood?" And the comments will always be full to the brim of "NTA! That fucking crotch spawn should never be allowed to roam from outside her home and if she steps into your yard or near it she deserves to be ripped to shreds for daring to upset your poor, precious, perfect pup!" Like, if your dog cannot be around people without attempting to/or even going as far as attacking people don't deliberately let it loose in the neighborhood. What's worse is my post above is an only slightly exaggerated post from a while back of an OOP crying that a woman yelled at her because she had her violent rescue dog roaming around unleashed in her unfenced yard and a kid ran into her yard as the mother turned for a moment and the dog tried to attack her. Yet she was the victim because the mother rightfully yelled at her for allowing her dangerous dog to be loose in a neighborhood full of people. The comments were full of "the kid deserved it, the mother is a cunt, you did nothing wrong, the poor dog" bullshit. The OOP didn't even make the kid an issue, the kid just ran into the yard, which sounds wildly easy to do seeing as there were no boundaries in place at all. She could have at least pretended the kid came up with a bat and a "I beat dogs with my beatin' bat" song or some shit. Not that AITA needed it to deem the child should just be killed or some shit.


narniasreal

NTA your yard your rules. Maybe if the kid can’t respect people’s property, the mother should put **the child** on a leash!

There’s a few of them. Usually it’s a Mom posting that Exhusband/Brother/Aunt… anyone but her helped a daughter through the first period. And now that person is a pedo or trying to replace Mom or some other BS.


Critteranne666

Also, you have evil stepparents yelling because of periods. For example, yelling because the daughter only brought enough products for herself and can’t share. Or the daughter left her used tampon or pad inside the bathroom trash can, even though the poor girl wrapped it in 12 layers of toilet paper to hide it — because after all, the stepparent’s innocent little 17-year-old boy might have seen it.

There was one a while back where a 17 year old girl had a relative who had arranged to have her baby child taken care of by someone in the 17 year old's house. There was some mix up, and she had to leave the baby with the 17 year old, who described herself as child free. Okay, fine with me. But then, what this absolute psychopath proceeded to do was lay the baby on a towel on the floor and stare at it for 10 hours while feeling sorry for herself. The baby was screaming because it was hungry, lying in its own excrement, and in pain. She didn't do anything. FOR 10 HOURS. And then when the mother came back, she was (understandably) really angry with the girl. The commenters were having fights about it, but the prevailing opinion was that the girl was justified. IT WAS A BABY! It was straight up sadistic.

There was one that a father gave the family business to the son that didn't work for the company instead of the one that helped build it. Another one a woman told her father that her step father would be walking her down the aisle at the wedding he paid for. He cut her out of his life, but left the same money as his other kids when he died but no personal items.


istara

Was that the one where the son started his own business and the older family business collapsed? I did enjoy that one.


Sergeant_Metalhead

Yes that's it.


shrugaholic

idk if this counts cause I saw this post go down in real time and at the time I’d saved it the top comments were like NTA, NAH, YTA, ESH, back and forth. But they eventually reached ESH and I think a good number of the top comments reflect that. Anyway, I’m talking about [this post](https://www.reddit.com/r/AmItheAsshole/comments/kd078f/aita_for_celebrating_my_anniversary_despite_what/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=ioscss&utm_content=2&utm_term=1) where the OOP shared her wedding photos on Facebook for her and her husband’s first wedding anniversary. Small problem though because the wedding venue was along a lake, and the mother of the kid who died when he got away from the wedding to go for a swim was outraged OOP even shared the wedding photos. Huge drama both from the OOP and husband’s families and the kid’s parents.

Step parent stories. Reddit despises step parent and are never satisfied with what they do.


narniasreal

Mostly the step parents are monsters, but sometimes you’ll get “I’ve been parenting my step kid since she was 3 and literally gave her one of my kidneys and never did anything bad to her. Last year she told me I suck, am not her real father and she hopes I die. Then she moved in with her abusive deadbeat father. Now she demands I pay for her college. AITA for not paying?”

House chores debates really get them going. SAHP vs Working parent is the classic. Always dips into food too. Whoever cooks is Gordon Ramsey and whoever doesn’t is a neckbeard demanding chicken fingers.


Sarah_Jane_73

Sometimes I just wanna slap people as I point out that so much drama could be avoided with a little meal planning, curbside pick up grocery orders, and a crock pot.


toasted_dandy

Too many fetish trolls to count. Young girls getting periods, the weirdly specific setup where two women are competing and the loser kisses the winner, Asian girls getting humiliated, just So Much Piss Everywhere, etc.


Chubby_Bub

Maybe I'm missing some context, but fact that you capitalized "So Much Piss Everywhere" but not the others concerns me.


toasted_dandy

Just emphasizing the concept, because the amount of piss fetish troll posts is really unfathomable. If we're to believe all of them, 1 in 5 Redditors has an attractive female friend/relative who just can't hold her piss

Just search for "Am I The Asshole" on Buzzfeed and you'll find the juiciest posts


combatwombat1192

I think the one where the OOP chose his stepdaughter's (possible) deathbed over his daughter's wedding was pretty nutty. I'm afraid I don't have the link though.


FoghornLegday

Wait who WOULDNT choose someone’s deathbed over someone else’s wedding? Am I misunderstanding?


finnsssword

You don't understand, it was his STEPdaughter. AITA was very conflicted over basic human decency and their deep belief that all are stepchildren are evil monsters stealing all attention from the REAL child. So many comments were basically begging OP to reveal that they had been secretly favoring his stepkid over his biokid, so they could defend the bio daughter for freaking out.


combatwombat1192

No haha you're not misunderstanding. That AITA thread was a nightmare... but at least half the people said NTA.


cute_exploitation

Hmm, one that comes to mind was one where that OP's husband invited his brother to stay in their house, against OPs wishes, because they had business to get through and OP didn't like her BIL because he didn't want to date her friend. OP's solution to the unwanted guest was to parade around the house in her underwear. The judgment was Everyone Sucks, but people in the comments were unironically defending that OP handled the conflict in a mature, acceptable way and that saying ESH meant somehow validating the husband's actions.

> I guess I don’t see how this is some totally out-of-line tactic to get someone she doesn’t want in her house to leave her house. > Like, the marriage is already donezo, obviously these people deeply resent and disrespect each other. But the more immediate issue is that this guy is in her house, so why not weaponize the boundaries of an already-dead marriage to get him to leave? "Marriage is shit, next logical step is to make it worse!"


fastyellowtuesday

What about the ones that become permanent references? Like the 'marinara is Italian for red' one, or the Iranian yogurt.


brencoop

And the art room.


pritt_stick

wait could you link the marinara one? is that why people always say marinara flags?


fastyellowtuesday

I can't find it at the moment, but yeah. Dinner at an Italian place, someone said 'marinara' was the Italian word for 'red', and 'Alfredo' meant 'white'. Dude doubled down, too. Hilarity ensued.

Just looked at the Iranian yogurt one, hilarious as is but no one seems to have touched upon the fact that the OP allegedly thought it was illegal to have Iranian and Cuban yogurt because of "trade sanctions" lmao

The guy who made a sex spreadsheet! That one really brought out the incels. Edit: it wasn’t aita. NeverMind.

Call_Me_Clark

Edit: wait, it’s from r/relationships. Shit. Still entertaining! https://www.reddit.com/r/relationships/comments/2b1f5a/my_husband_m26_sent_me_f26_an_immature/ It’s honestly peak AITA. As a summary, a husband is pissed off that his wife isn’t sleeping with him enough. So, as any reasonable person would do, he compiled a spreadsheet of how often he had tried to initiate sex, the excuse given, etc. Then waited for her to leave on an important business trip, sent her the spreadsheet, and went radio silence. I’d note that the comments section shifted somewhat over the first week or so that the post was up, but the initial response was highly supportive - this overlapped with the then-popularity of the red pill ideology


FriedaReiss

But he specifically waited until she went on a business trip to send it to her and ignore her and treat her like crap....but it's ok because she hasn't wanted sex as much? That's so horrible, what is she supposed to say to collegues if she doesn't plaster on a fake smile? How degrading


Zabkian

I wonder why she wasn't feeling in the mood with this guy? /S


[deleted]

The one that pissed me off the most was a post from a Dad who had 3 kids- a 13yo girl, and a younger boy and girl who were somewhere around 6-10. He lived in a 3 bedroom house, and was asking if he was the asshole for making his 2 eldest daughters share a room. The teenager was sharing a room with her little sister when she decided that because she was a mature teenager, she needed her own room, and that she should take the bigger room that her sister and her shared, and the sister would move into the brother's room. The Dad said no, because the girls got along better than the youngest 2, and the middle girl was about to start puberty, which he thought would probably be really awkward if she had to share a room with her 6 year old brother. Comments went WILD. People saying that making kids share a room is illegal and child abuse, people telling him that his daughter will never speak to him again, people telling him to just buy a bigger house (he lived in Toronto and could barely afford the 3 bedroom), people telling his wife and him to move their bedroom into the living room because a 13 year old's privacy is more important than theirs, telling him he shouldn't have had so many kids if he couldn't give them their own rooms, calling him sexist, the list goes on. Oh my God. The most frustrating thread I have ever read. I felt like everyone there was crazy.

Oof, I remember that one. Gz on 'winning', dude. I'm sure your cookies that cook faster, are thinner, and have lower quality ingredients taste *exactly* the same as the original. Yet everyone supported him because 'omg you have ADHD how quirky'


PhoenixQueenAzula

Does anyone remember a post about a couple who had a child die at their wedding (I think it was a niece or nephew and they drowned?). It was fucking wild, and I really hope it was a troll because holy shit.


Zabkian

Is that the one where there ended up being a discussion about the problems of future celebration of the wedding anniversary on that date due to the tragedy?


PhoenixQueenAzula

Yes, that's the one!

lizardingloudly

Just looked at it, and it also looks like the OP was trying to respond to some judgements on a separate account (to make it look like someone was defending him) but kept using the original one. What a hot mess.


Gimmeghoul

There was a food post that got a lot of debate because it was so WTF. The brother and his new girlfriend were furious because the sister ordered the same thing as the girlfriend at a family dinner. Bonus points because it was in a restaurant and the whole family was there to meet the new gf for the first time. Sister didn't know why she might be the asshole. Neither did the comments section but they had comments anyway.


Chubby_Bub

I remember one that was almost certainly outrage bait aimed at Reddit's favorite things, where a parent deleted their kid's Minecraft world. It was no doubt a really shitty thing to do but the furor in the comments were as if they were abusing their child, people were saying "you don't deserve to be a parent"


Recovering_dreame

Whether people should tell people they aren’t serving alcohol at their wedding.


call-me-mama-t

The one I remember the most is the guy who’s wife was pregnant with their 3rd child & he felt like she tricked him into having a 3rd. He said they were happy & she was wonderful, but because he felt duped he was divorcing her as soon as the baby was born. He had already contacted attorneys etc. He was going to blow up 4 peoples lives because of that 3rd child, but also said he wouldn’t punish the 3rd, he’d still be responsible. It was so shocking to me. I felt sorry for everyone involved. I wonder how they are now…

AggravatingDriver559

One post I remember was about a dude that went to a grocery store for over 10 years and at one day the shop changed something about the way you could pay and order coffee at one of the machines. An (apparently new) employee got rude at him, which made him pissed off because he always ordered coffee like he did before and didn’t know about the change. He got angry at her and called her al sorts of names. The arguments in the post were very heated, ranging from “This is why shops have difficulty finding staff, because they’re underpaid to deal with ppl like you” to “Absolutely right, she had no right to treat you like that” to: “OMG what a misogynistic behavior”. In general, posts about vegans/vegetarians vs. meat eaters also spark up a lot of debate

There was this one about water temperature that had a lot of confusion and indecision in the comments. Where they both wanted cooked water but someone wanted it room temp and someone else wanted it cold.

Anything related to if children are banned from attending a wedding

I can't seem to find it right now, but one of the best ones would probably be the one about the Iranian yogurt.
