AITA for not allowing my gay friend to come to my wedding?quote:Context: My fiance and I are having our wedding on Friday of this week. Weddings are a huge deal in my family. There's also a bit of tradition in it, the highest elders in the family "oversee" the wedding and are present 100% of the time. It's pretty much any and all of the great grandmothers/grandfathers/aunts/uncles you get the idea. In terms of what "oversee" means, I'm not entirely sure but if the majority of the people in your immediate family of the elders are highly against you getting married to someone, you aren't really "allowed" to. This has only happened about 3 times as far as I know, 2 of the times the family member getting married obeyed and called off the wedding, the third time however the family member in question was outraged and got married anyway and moved abroad with her husband, after cutting all contact and not letting us know where she went, she came back 1 year later, beaten, bruised, and with little to no money left. The guy she married was suspicious and off-putting to the elders and a few other family members, turns out he just wanted her for her money, she had a decent job and had tons of savings. You should also note that I love both my grandparents and great-grandparents to death, they're very sweet and kind, however just a little old-fashioned and not very informed. This leads to the main issue at hand. Listen I know the title sounds bad, but hear me out. The weird cult I'm a part of won't allow it!

AITA for laughing at my friend when he said he never eats vegan food? I (21f) am vegan. I have a friend (22) who is not vegan. This has never been an issue in our friendship. We have a group of six friends who were all travelling down to another city for a concert. Three of us are vegan, there's one vegetarian, and two meat eaters. One of the meat eaters is my boyfriend, so he eats a lot of vegan food anyway. So, we all decided we'd like to try this vegan restaurant that's really well known in this city, and we checked on the way there if it'd be cool with everyone. We were on the train, all sitting together. Everyone agreed, except the meat eater who isn't my bf, who said he wasn't sure. I said that's fine, if he doesn't want to we can find somewhere else to eat, but I asked him how come he wasn't interested. He said, "well I've never eaten a vegan food before." I asked him if it was eating a meat substitute he was worried about, and he said "no, I've just never tried a vegan food before. Like nothing, ever." I laughed a bit, because he was literally eating a pb&j while I was talking to him. He asked why I was laughing, and I said it's because what he's eating right now is vegan. He looked a bit hurt and was like, "no way." I told him it more than likely was. He looked a little hurt and said he was upset I brought that up because it was embarrassing, I said I assumed he would've KNOWN he'd tried vegan food before, like fruit and veg. He just looked quite upset. I did say sorry for embarrassing him, but he's been a little off about it since, AITA?

My job at the papermill becomes untenable after my mechanic refuses to fix my F450, and I find myself forced to work at a digital marketing company after a friendly, 5'9" man offers me the job while riding public transportation. The Elizabeth Warren mailers arrive at a constant stream, and the secretary of state sends me a letter informing me I am being disenrolled from the Republican party. I make my first black friend, and finally learn what a pronoun is. I drink craft IPAs that cost $20 for a 4-pack. Sometimes when I dream about it, I dream about strangling it, the PB&J that ruined my life.

AITA for grilling steak in my vegan daughters frying pan?quote:My daughter is a vegan, I dunno how or why shes turned out like this but because of snow flakes I now need to adhere to pointless rules. She says that she doesnt want meat cooked in her special frying pans which she bought especially. I came home the other night with a rib eye and some veal. All the other pans were dirty and I seen hers and cooked the rib eye in it and she came down stairs and went crazy. I told her that i didnt raise her this way and as long as shes living under my roof Ill do what I want with out having to answer her. She kept giving me back chat so I through all her vegan poo poo in the bin and told her that this isnt the way the Goldsteins live. She called me a fat oval office and stormed out. I was so mad and shes going to get a telling off when she comes back. Before I tell her off i just want to see if anyone else thinks AITA? AITA For being mad at my brother who just decided to get married one month before me? quote:Brother is getting married the month I was going to and I’m not very happy about it "I chose not to make any plans but my brother's plan conflicts with my unspoken plan.

AITA for how I respond to strangers' questions about gay sex?quote:So I'm not a prude by any means but I hate it when borderline or complete strangers start asking me really intimate questions about my relationship just because I'm gay... I get that gay people are less common than straight people and all that, but when you immediately switch to sexual questions after you first meet a gay person or a couple, that tells me I'm just some sort of a zoo curiosity to you. At least from my experience, it seems to be the case.

AITA for getting my neighbor towed? I live in a small apartment building with a small parking lot. Each apartment is given one parking spot, and anyone visiting needs to park on the street. The spots are labeled by apartment number as well. Also important to note that there are a lot of car break ins in my area. Well, a few weeks ago I came home from work and saw my neighbor’s girlfriend was parked in my spot. I know it was her because I have met them both before, and have seen her park on the street when visiting on other occasions. I shrugged it off at first. I had been working late and they might’ve thought I wasn’t going to be home that night. So I parked on the street for the night. The next day I went to work and saw she was no longer in my spot. But when I got home that evening, she was parked there again. It annoyed me, but I didn’t want to say anything to my landlord knowing they would have her car towed. I know how expensive that can be, so I wanted to at least try and say something to my neighbor before taking that step. The next morning, my car had been broken into. Luckily I didn’t have anything of value inside, but my driver side window was shattered. It was extremely frustrating to deal with. That night when I got home I ran into my neighbor, his girlfriend was finally not in my spot. I politely asked that he tell his girlfriend to park on the street in the future, and he got really defensive with me. He complained that one parking spot isn’t enough and that his girlfriend didn’t feel comfortable leaving her car on the street. He also ignored me when I told him mine had been broken into. A few days passed, I got my window fixed and his girlfriend hadn’t been at our building. And then one night I come home to see her parked in my spot, AGAIN. I was pretty fed up and decided to send my landlord a text. Her car was towed away within a couple of hours and I moved my car into my spot. I haven’t seen my neighbor since this happened, but he left a pretty rude note on my door the day after. He was demanding I pay the $150 that it cost to get her car back, and demanded an apology as well. I will not be doing either. AITA for having his girlfriend towed out of my parking spot? I feel like I gave him the chance to prevent this.

Suggest vegan daughter has a mini fridge for her vegan stuff, a cupboard to herself for non fridge food and to wash her pots and pans by hand if the dishwasher is contaminated. gently caress not cooking meat at allllll in the kitchen! That's unreasonable!

AITA for uninviting my transgender sibling from my wedding? Throwaway. I'll try to keep it to the point. Basically, my fiance and I are getting married soon, in about 4 months. Our families are all going to be there, including all of my extended family from around the country. My sibling (this is new to me so it's hard to imagine them as my sister when I've always known them as my brother) is also flying in to see me. Well they were going to at least. We grew up pretty close and usually share everything with each other. The other day, they called me and told me they were identifying as a woman, and wanted to be called Stella. I was shocked and still am honestly, but I love them regardless. Anyway, they, she (it's really hard to wrap my mind around right now, please be patient) wanted to come out to the family at my wedding. She wanted to come to the wedding with a dress, wig, fake breasts on, heels, the whole works. I told her that maybe that would be really shocking to everyone and steal the spotlight from my bride. She said she could come as Dave and at the reception change and reveal Stella. That seemed like it would take even more of the spotlight. I asked if she could just come out afterwards, or even before, just not on the wedding day. She said that, because her job is new and she doesn't have many days off yet, she wouldn't be able to stay more than the one day. While I get that not everyone can stay to socialize, I don't think this is the day to reveal it to family. It's a big deal and will definitely take attention from my bride (who agrees.) I've tried negotiating but she's adamant that the family never gets together anymore, and this is possibly her only opportunity for a big reveal. When I asked why she needs such a big reveal, she got angry and asked if I was transphobic. Eventually, I told her she can't come to the wedding, because I won't have the day turn into something completely about her. My fiance is grateful for what I did, but I'm worried I've strained relations with my sibling. AITA?
