r/AmITheA**hole - Brother Steals $25,000 From Kids & Family

[@coffden14]

Also, the one that pissed me off most was the school taking the epipens and giving the parent attitude when needing to be reimbursed. Like wut? Your poorly trained staff almost cost a kid his life and they used another kids life saving medication W/O telling the parent right away. What would have happened if the owner of the epipens had a reaction and their medication was gone 😬

[@justinneilson1263]

Honestly that woman who refused to tip was def not the A-hole. From what she said about the waitress it doesn't really sound like the woman had a disability. And even if she did, that does not and should not excuse her for the way she acted.

I have an aunt with a disability and basically that type of behaviour is the result of the same problems as for people without a disability.

[@standinthegsp6858]

Taking (stealing) someone else’s medication can be considered a felony. I’m glad the superintendent is a sane/sensible person. She could probably see the lawsuit coming... Please consider contacting the manufacturer that makes the epi pens. Many pharmaceutical companies have programs where you can get free or reduced cost medication. It won’t hurt to ask.

[@kathybeckford3592]

I think the guy who was asked to the prom did the right thing. She or a friend should've checked with him before to avoid that awkward situation. What she did, or was encouraged to do, did pressure him to do what he didn't want to. He didn't want to hurt either one of them when she asked and he didn't want to lead her on. It would've been best if the aid used that as a teaching moment to explain his perspective and how he tried his best to keep from hurting her.

[@alfr1]

Babysitter; nope. Your sister heard that you would be paid, and would later demand that you pay her out of your earnings. THAT is the only reason she offered after you started calling to find a sitter. Too bad she thinks so slowly; she might have milked $50. out of you, while letting Gram do all the caring.

[@bowalker4650]

I receive medical care at a V.A. hospital. 2 times in the last 20 years I've requested epipens. The last time I got a box with 3 in it. When I opened the box to look at them a woman said her nephew needed one of them and got very angry when I refused. I'm severely allergic to wasp stings and had noticed that they were building a nest close to my mailbox, so I wanted to make sure the epipens were available if/when needed. Epipens indeed are expensive and I can't just pass them out like candy. In an emergency I would of course let someone use one, but I live over 30 miles from the hospital and can't just trust that I could get to the hospital. For me they are for UNTIL the ER, not instead of.

None of the OPs were the butt hole. When you are dealing with people who are disabled (I am one btw) you have to treat them as if they were normal to a point. If the disabled person is rude then call them out on it. If they want to be treated like everyone else then they need to behave like everyone else. If the first OP had given the rude server lots of tips just for being disabled then she would have been the butt hole.

[@pearldragon6508]

As the post says, if her mentality is at least enough that she knows what she's to do duty-wise and can communicate in regards to orders, then she has enough mentality to grasp the concept of customer service. I'm not giving any AITA points to the OP of it, because it can be *extremely* discomforting to have a waitress blatantly hit on your man - to the point where the girl gave her a dirty look for wanting a refill, when the girl was all too happy to give the man the refill. So, no, you don't have to put personal discomfort aside just to be nice to the waitress. But I would say to this woman that while she is not the a-hole on tipping, there's a few things to consider. This might be part of the girl's disability - latching on to male figures. I don't mean in a stalker way, just associative. Another thing is this waitress-girl might be just coming into society interaction - sometimes mental issues can seriously slow that down. I'd tell the lady to send an e-mail to the owner to let them know - maybe it's a one-off thing and the girl had an issue with the woman. Or maybe this lady's e-mail will be like, the 4th in a chain of them. Either way, the owner/manager *does* need to get this addressed to save the girl doing it again. As to the husband who thinks his wife is in the wrong, how would *he* feel if everything was the reverse and it was a guy waiter doing it to his wife? Asking her on dates and such. Something tells me the wife would be just as uncomfortable with it in that scenario too, and with the girl waitress, the hubby either has the ability to let her mentality pass as ignorance (as the post didn't mark him as being uncomfy with it too), or....he was enjoying the attention. For the wife's sake I hope it wasn't the latter.

[@clrtwallace0116]

I agreed with you on most of these. But that first story is a tough one. I think i would have either talked to her and explained that her behavior was inappropriate, or spoken to her supervisor, depending on the severity of her disability. She will never learn if she isnt told. Shorting her tip doesnt tell her what she did wrong and doesnt resolve anything. And boop.

[@samalvarez8776]

Dude, servers talk. We gossip about everyone. A regular that usually tips HIGH doesn't tip? We all look at the waitress and tell her to never deal with those regulars again. We know our regulars. She definitely learned a lesson from the other servers without having to go to the manager

[@magiv4205]

I think it's totally fair they didn't tip her. No tip from this couple is a pretty clear sign of disapproval - if not to the waitress, then to the rest of the staff. Could they have gone to management to inform them about the issue instead of just not leaving a tip? Yes, they could have and that would have been totally fair on their part, and would also mean the manager could directly talk to the waitress about her behavior in a hopefully constructive manner. But on the other hand, it's not really the guest's responsibility to educate the waitress, and, like OP said: If she can work there, she can do so without harassing clients.

[@Mew_Mokuba_Akari]

Of course the school should have to pay back the EpiPen. What if right after school depending on the allergy the girl had a attack and maybe mom didn't have one on her and she runs to the office to get her daughter's only to be told Oh right sorry we used them.

Yes kicking out the girl was a very wise decision. Little girls are pliable like clay (guys too but not as sensitive) and having a leader girl who is saying bad things during the first day of the year will have lasting effects. She will learn this way. Being cut off from friends suddenly is a HUGE thing for people who are growing. Baby names can be the same! There are a hundred people in my town that I know with the same name! Cousins, sisters, and friends can have children with the same name. My name was very popular when I was born and I was one in a hundred babies with the same name. It's the dying family's money and it's all up to them. I hope it goes well. To get it off your mind you can hire an investment person to give all the money to and have them take 10% off your profit and you can have the rest. Investors are awesome. Have your money make money Glad you were reimbursed. Heck to the person who bought the epipen license in full to make a quick million dollars by overpricing them. Honestly it is all about the design of the pens and not the liquid inside XD it is an absolute Macintosh thing they are doing. But at least they were forced to lower the price from well above a thousand per pen (I don't like Macintosh. I modify any device that I own and if I had a MacBook, it would blow up XD it's in my genes) Oh and I love this type! Thanks! *boop*

Our youngest (young adult) has been diagnosed with developmental disabilities. He’d never be inappropriate by asking someone out like that. Yet he can be pretty friendly, “Where are you going?” “Answer your phone....” Lol it really bugs him if you don’t answer your phone. He works a few days a week & has a job coach. I’d hesitate to contact the restaurant management because some people can be very bigoted & cruel against those with mental/developmental disabilities & I’d hate to see her canned or belittled. If you can find out what organization she has helping her or her social worker, I’d contact them & let them know what she’s been doing. Doing so could save her life because there are scumbags that will take advantage of her. As for the tip, you could have left her 15% not .56 cents. You could have told her that her tips will be better if she doesn’t ask married men out.

Disability or not OP should send in a complaint. This way they hopefully just sit her down and explain things to her. Make her understand she can't do things like that. I don't normally complain about staff. But the last time I was in one I did file a complaint. The lasy didn't as far as know have any disability other than her attitude. I placed the money for the bill on the table and another member of staff not sure if he was a waiter took the bill. The waitress comes by and basically accused me of lying about paying it, I guess she got it straightened out as she never came back. Its been years so I remember if it was her or another waitress but one just started singing loudly like this was American idol or something. I think it was a song on the jukebox.

Public or not, disability or not, if you don't want to, you say NO. Them putting "pressure" on you because you're in a public place with people filming and "cheering you on", is kind of a d*ck move. So if it's "heart breaking" or "humiliating" to get a "no", then that's their own fault for asking when there's others around. It's kind of well known that it becomes a social pressure to say "yes" when done in this way, regardless of what it is about. So it could even be manipulative depending on the situation.

My 16 year old daughter's school has their own epipens, defib & other medical equipment that would be necessary should a child be in need of first aid. They have a 3 pack that is replaced if it hasn't been used by the expiration date. It is actually not legal for them to use another child's prescription meds for a different child, although I can see why someone would do so in that situation, however they absolutely should replace it immediately. It would have been a disaster if the owner of the EpiPen had an allergy attack & something happened to them because the school had given their lifesaving med to someone else. The school would likely be sued into oblivion (& should be had the owner died due to their negligence), the person/person's responsible could be arrested for manslaughter & the mother would have absolutely won a lawsuit in that situation. They endangered their whole school district with the way they handled this, they need to immediately replace the kid's EpiPen & they definitely should get their own to avoid future problems.

Having worked with people with learning disabilities (mental disabilities in other countries) for 30 years. I can see both sides of the argument. When we got a service user into employment they were supported by a staff member until it was felt they could do the job correctly. If the staff member heard these sort of comments from the waitress she would have been sat down and explained in a way the person understood that that sort of behaviour was unacceptable. If after a short while if the behaviour didn't change she would have been pulled out of the job and found another kind of employment. The problem is that a lot of parents of disabled children make excuses and wont even try to correct unsuitable behaviour, always saying "well they cant help it". I have a son with classic autism, and from the beginning I was strict about what was appropriate and what was not. He is now 51 and has worked for a large newsagent/book store. he orders specialist magazines from the wholesalers by computer. Human resorces say he is the best worker they have. He never takes longer that permitted for breaks and even takes a lot of work of a co worker who took advantage until it was stopped. In the mornings he greets the ladies with a smiling "Good morning ladies" I tend to agree with the husband as his wife knows little or nothing about mental disabilities and should consider herself lucky she is mentally fit

My husband and I found a name that was more meaningful to us anyway.

[@OneToxicPixel]

Let me be an annoying commentator and go through each story one by one :) 1. So obviously, not the butthole. OP didn't tip the waitress less because of any disability, they tipped her less because the waitress wasn't doing her job properly. In my country, a tip is something you give someone in the service industry if they have done well. This waitress, disabled or not, did not do well. And if it really was because of her disability that she was acting like she did, she shouldn't be working with customers, period. 2. Not the butthole. The dude was stealing from his own family. He deserves any kind of backlash he gets for that. If OP hadn't said anything, David would have continued to steal. That's just my perspective. 3. Again, not the butthole! I think the dude's wife is really just jealous and here's why I think that. As a true lady, I do wear similar Shirts myself. The print most of the time is at least partially on the chest area. See where I'm going with that? Yeah, the wife probably didn't like that, because anyone with half a brain cell knows if you don't wanna be mocked for your tattoo, you put as much research into it as you can *BEFORE* you have it put on your skin, not after. The dude himself thought it was funny, so no problem at all. 4. Not the butthole. The sister should have said something earlier, about her troubles with the baby. She can't expect everyone else around her to just read her mind and know when she has a change of heart! She is an adult. Adults talk about their problems. Easy as that. 5. Maybe the Dad was a liiitle bit of a butthole. I agree, he had every right to kick the SB out, she has to learn that actions have consequences and when someone invites you into their home, be grateful ffs. But after seeing how she reacted, he could have opted for at least a talk, explaining her why he is doing that and how her disrespectful behavior is not okay. She is still a child after all and was probably just trying to be cool and dominant. She is still growing and that could have been a good way of both punishing her for her bad behavior while also giving her food for thought and showing her that she can get much further if she just shows some respect. 6. Not the butthole. The people all around him put OP under social pressure where it was expected from him to say yes. Saying no while it was being filmed would have meant that the entire thing would probably go viral on KZbin or something, something the girl would not have wanted. It is okay to say no to disabled people. I mean, if the question is something like that I mean. If it is "Can I have this seat on this bumpy bus ride?" then no is not an option as long as you are healthy yourself. 7: This is kinda a tough one. On one hand, the OP doesn't own the name, it's free to use for anyone. On the other, the cousin definitely knew what kind of reaction this would spark in the family and that's why they kept it a secret, so they knew it was not a bright idea in the first place. I think the OP should have talked to her cousin about this. When she says nothing, of course the cousin thinks "It's fine with her, that's cool, so I can use her as a shield for the backlash!" We are all adults. Or most of us I guess. If she would have tried to talk to him in a calm manner and explain how she feels about this, a compromise could have been found very easily, now that it has escalated like this, it will be a lot harder to do. 8. Again, kinda a tougher one. I obviously do not side with the decision the parents made here. Pressuring your own child into donating to a cause they don't believe in is rather nasty. Plus the OP explained how this particular church affected them so I can get behind that. I still feel kinda weird though, probably because I am just that close with my mother, so if she'd ask me to do the same, I'd do it. No questions asked. But still, not the butthole with a side of salt :) 9. Not the butthole. At first I was gonna vote butthole because obviously, the child needed it or it would have died, that is not something I would ever be able to put a price tag on, but then you read the line about the school actually having EpiPens, which means the child could still have been saved without the Mum having to pay for a new set if the staff would have been trained and knew the location of the pens in the first place. So the carelessness of the school could have cost the OP quite a good chunk of money. I love you trying out new subreddits, makes the channel stay fresh! But if you wanna do this particular one again, picking some butthole stories will spice it up a little, you probably just took the ones you liked and they just so happen to be all Not the butthole ones (probably because no one wants to deal with a butthole anyway) I'm just saying that maybe you should think about it upon revisiting. Have a good one mate! Cheers!

RE: Slumber Party - I really wish this had an update. I know OP was just trying to protect his daughter, but he didn't realize the "Spoiled Brat" is actually a "Mean Girl" (Typical traits: popular, pretty, poor manners, privileged lifestyle). TL;DR... BOOOK! Hopefully OP's daughter doesn't suffer any retaliation from "SB" for OP's decision to confront her, wake her mother up, and send her home from the party at 1am.

[@flamelily2086]

Using another child's epipens for another child is wrong. The parents of the child or the school should reimburse OP for the pens. $650 per pen is a lot of money to pay out of pocket. If I was the parent of the other child I would have offered to pay even if I could only pay over several months..

[@Orenzia]

Oh my hahaha first story reminds me of a waitress who kept shooting me dirty looks when I was on a date with my boyfriend. My boyfriend had asked for a glass of water and she obliged with a wide smile on her face. Then when I asked for one as well she shot me a dirty ass look. Dunno why she acted that way, must’ve been jealous I guess?

[@Arylwren1]

i wouldn't call the Op in the first story a butthole, I mean, she sat there and watched a girl flirt with her husband and was very rude when it came to doing her job and refilling a drink.

[@15oClock]

Got bored, needed something to do; decided to do an old video I hadn't seen before. 1. Wait staff shouldn't be flirting with the customers; that's unprofessional, among other things. Mental disability isn't an excuse for her behavior. 2. Martha and Jack stole from family and allowed Rose to be alienated by implication! Let the marriage end! 3. Don't feel offended for someone else's. That's just a recipe for dumb fights and resentment altogether. 4. Never has the sister offered babysitting before; why is she doing it now? No matter, it's settled better now. 5. Toxic people start young, especially in the teen years. This kid isn't a "super cool girl"; she's a mean girl. 6. A popular theory is that the aid is living out her fantasy through her ward. I can't say I disagree with that; pressuring someone like this is popular in romcoms. 7. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes. I don't know if it's possible to change a baby's name after the fact, but whatever. 8. Charity shouldn’t be mandated. Neither should religion. OP's done the right thing, despite that being against everything they were raise in. 8. EpiPens aren’t cheap, so don't treat them like they are. This whole story shows the need to reform the education and medical system in America.

[@madhattergodess]

The prom one annoyed me. As it puts people on the spot and they are stuck. People will boo them if they refuse. Its ridiculous. The teacher needs to mind her own buisness as it would be no different the genders were switched. Should a girl feel obligated to say yes to a guy. I feel sorry for Op he did nothing wrong and she put him in no win situation.

[@albertgongora6944]

I agree 100% with the one about the sister wanting to babysit her brother's baby especially since he is technically a nineteen-year-old then all of a sudden at 21 she's having problems adjusting no events in my opinion when you don't have any obligations whatsoever at a particular age not even a child to take care of you don't have the right to say that you need to adjust to something just because it makes your life stressful just because you may not like it not only that that man deserves a lot more respect due to the fact that he is taking care of a child and is trying to do the right thing before he even got a job because you know how hard that is to take care of your own child by yourself at the age of 19 without a job and you're living with somebody like your sister and here's the funny part in my opinion my mom was 16 along with my dad being 17 when they had me to me that's pretty young and a lot of stuff went wrong between my mom and dad custody battles and all that but I hate to see it my mom was Young when she had me and the point I'm trying to make is this she acted more like a woman when it came to the idea of taking care of me while my dad was off basically partying the night I mean don't get me wrong he had his days where he did get down to it and being a parent but I felt like sometimes as of today as an adult I felt that he was somebody that cared more about partying then he was somebody who cared about me is a kid his kid to be precise and to me that's sad that my mom did more of the responsibility than him and I will admit both of my parents weren't the perfect parents because they were young but at the same time I felt like my mom did a little bit more of a better job and there were times where my dad did the same thing as well and that's sad that this man at 19 very young and my opinion is already taken care of a child his sister's 21 acting immature and trying to make it look like he's the bad guy when she was talking all this crap and only that my brother was telling me that about my child even though I'm the oldest I would not trust him to do that because you don't know what type of behavior like that can cause somebody to do just because they don't like your child and that's a scary thought to begin with and that's what the sister doesn't get

[@slevinchannel7589]

Why would you even steal a Name? Why?

[@HowlingEclipse]

Prom thing. JUST BECAUSE YOU HAVE A DISABILITY... doesnt mean you can manipulate people in a way where they arent happy, if you are aware. As someone with autsim and adhd i don't want to be treated less then or with any special treatment, i want to work for it and be treated equally, which most do like. however some things i will say i have my limits and warn people what i need and show them some of my coping or processing methods... Prom is a really memorable memory of how to ends things off with a bang, i feel for OP as i can understand wanting to share this event with someone else. the best solution is if she is really sad, ask the girl he likes, if she says yes great! and then ask her if the other can tag along and maybe just have 1 dance with him, especially if in the end she is alone. I like how OP handled it, and didn't embarrass her in front of so many people. and to find a middle ground would be great if no one else would go with her.

[@cherylann9781]

You should absolutely be reimbursed for the epipens. I child who needs epipens should not be allowed to go to school if they don't have current epipens. Sorry, but it's a life or death situation. What if their daughter needed one before they were replaced? What if they couldn't afford to replace them. It's theft plain and simple.

[@pearldragon6508]

*Sleepover Dad* - NOT the a-hole. This girl made it clear from the get-go that she wasn't really interested much in the party, later proven by her 'slumber parties are lame' stuff. Add to that the fact that this girl drove their daughter to actually be upset at a new phone (OOC for her), and *that's* just wrong. And also, the brat's own mother understood why the dad was doing this. I think possibly the wife of the OP might have been thinking along damage-control (the spoiled brat might retaliate at school), but this Dad just showed his daughter that he's ready to go to the mat for her - which could encourage the daughter to report brat-bullying to him. :) *Prom Guy* - Not the a-hole. And I don't think the girl was delib doing an 'iron clad' way of asking. As Mark said, it's the ppl around that made it hard - *everyone* had their phones out - and you can bet your b-holes if he had said 'no' then it would have gone viral as the a-hole who turned down as disabled girl in front of everyone, which would just lead to misery for him. Spectators play up the disabled side of things - possibly even the aide might have said to the girl to ask him in class for giving her confidence? I dunno, speculation there, but yeah, in everything else this guy was put on the spot by everyone around him. *Babysitting Dude* - Not the a-hole. I *hate* it when ppl pull that 'you should have known you didn't need to ask me' c--p. It's like, NO, NO I DIDN'T KNOW! Number one, he's not a mind-reader. Number 2, the sister *never* at *any* time even showed she was remotely interested in the baby. All she'd displayed so far was how good she was at *whining* about the baby, not at looking after him. Also, like Mark pointed out, the girl is 21. But she's acting like a 7 year old who's parents have had a baby and she's not getting as much attention. My guess would be that, since the guy lives with the parents too, they have been open and welcoming of the baby. This girl isn't needing to 'adjust to the baby'. No, she needs to adjust to her jealousy that likely stems from her brother (and baby) getting all the attention for something *she* hasn't managed to do yet. Since she's the oldest, she was prob expecting to be the one to bring the first grandchild into the family, but instead it was the brother. She's just channeling her resentment by being a brat. *Sister of Thief-Brother* - Obviously not the a-hole. :p ( *Waitress story* - I put it as an 'I agree' reply to a comment that basically said the wife was not an a-hole, but needs to follow this up with the owner in case this is either related to the mentality, or the waitress might have just been being catty. Either way, needs addressing )

[@jacquiethebibliophil]

OP in the prom story is more screwed than he's realizes. IF the crush says yes and they go, they will be tormented by the people who will be/are angry he backed out. It will be worse for the girl as she has now "stolen" the boy from the "poor handicapped girl", which is probably what they would actually say. Yes, as condescending as that is. GPs in the will challenge laid the groundwork as they could have donated to their church before they divided the rest. The epi pen is an odd story. Epi pens are prescription (recently they come up with an alternative, epinephrine auto-injectors--which sound sketchy to me), otherwise insurance would not pay for it. So: the epi pen is prescribed and as such has the name of the person (and ONLY that person) it is prescribed to on it. To draw a parallel, I am a Juvenile onset Diabetic and I use the more expensive, better quality, Humalog. It has my name on it. If I were in school and a child came in with a dangerously high BG they should NOT give the insulin prescribed to me to someone else. In reality, in an emergency, they probably would and I'd be OK with it. But that is one dose, not a vial. The epi pen is the whole thing! In using another child's pen they have, in effect, prescribed a medicine without a license and committed insurance fraud. THAT is why they wanted to bury it. They broke the law. If they asked the parent of the ill child to bring in two pens they then give them proof that they used another child's pen and if their child had died they could have sued. But so could OP. I think that is why they delayed telling her that her child had no pens. So, now everything is paid for and OK. Or not. OP still needs to follow this up the chain of command as several people screwed up beyond not being polite and responsible and reimbursing her for her pens.

[@amandab8433]

Baby name. Cousin is TA. Similar happened with my second son. My husband and I picked out potential names for children we may have years before we even started trying to get pregnant. After my 1st son was born I met and became very good friends with a mother I met at the local bookstore baby reading group. Anyway we got pregnant with our second children at the same time, and were thrilled to be sharing pregnancies. I told her the name and the story behind it. Long story short her son was born 3 weeks before mine, and yup she named him the exact names. I was upset of course, and we ended up naming ours something different. He's 24 years old now, and has always said he's glad for the name he has because he's actually hated the other names 😂.

[@margaretannfrank5480]

Hi Mark. I enjoy all of your stories. Long, short, edgy, sweet. I have a little story of my own about baby name stealing. I had chosen my baby girls name years before I had her. My first girl would be Sarah. A pretty old fashioned name. My best friend knew this and when she had a baby girl a year before my first…a girl, they named her Sarah. What could I say? I was a non confrontational person so I shrugged it off and a year later when we had a girl, I named her Sarah because, why not? The thing is that my friends husband loved to needle me. If he knew something bothered you he would tease you about it. 31 years later we were sitting visiting at my cottage and he says,” Remember when we stole your baby’s name?” And he guffawed. His wife looked embarrassed and I didn’t say anything because I knew he wanted a reaction. My friendship with his wife was worth more than getting snippy over a name.

[@purpleiguana208]

Sorry, this is crazy long. I responded to each story. Feel free to skip if you don't want a wall of text. :) Story 1. I don't think the wife's desire to not tip was a result of the waitress having a mental illness, but as a result of her behavior. Flirting is one thing, some servers might gently flirt or be overly friendly to increase their tips. But her behavior not only exceeded that, but also went into her being outright hostile to the wife. On a scale of 1-5 buttholes, I would give the wife a 1, because waitstaff in the US are often paid under minimum wage, in the expectation that they will make up for it in tips (or at least, so I have been told). I probably would have tipped the minimum and had a quiet non-Kareny word with the manager, because this person will only have more problems if they continue to treat customers in a hostile manner and could probably do with some more training in that regard. Story 2: Zero out of 5 buttholes. David straight up stole for years. I'm not sure if there is any sort of legal consequences that could be justified over there, as it was over a period of years and from multiple people, but I seriously think he deserves whatever he gets. Story 3: Zero of 5 buttholes. It is very much a thing that people get tattoos in Japanese or Chinese because they think the characters are pretty but don't take the time to find out what they mean. The friend had a good sense of humor about it. And it's not like OP went out of her way to rub his nose in it or call him stupid or anything. It was all in good fun, and the both of them were having fun with it. It's the wife with the stick up their butt. Nah... if she had a needle up her butt, you'd need a tractor to pull it out! Story 4: I'm not 100% sure how much of a score I want to give on this because I think some things may be open to interpretation. For example, if the sister had said something like, "You're too young. Your life would be easier if you had worn a condom instead of having a baby," or something like that, then it's possible OP could have interpreted it as her saying she wished the baby had never been born. So I feel like there might be things open to interpretation possibly? However, if everything else is 100% accurate and she was calling the baby names, never seemed interested in taking care of the child before, honestly said she wished the baby had never been born, then screw her, I wouldn't trust her with my kid either! How can you trust someone to care WELL for a child that they are openly hostile to? Also, mega-kudos to him for being responsible and caring for his child. Story 5: I give the dad a 1.5 out of 5 buttholes. He should have asked his daughter how she would like him to handle things rather than taking that decision away from her. Or, at the point where he told SB she needed to go home because that's what she wanted and she got all upset, he could have used that as a teachable moment and explain to her that not everyone comes from the same backgrounds and has the same advantages, so therefore not everyone can have the newest best thing, because some people are just doing the best they can. It might have taught her a bit of humility. But instead, the message she got is GTFO of my house if you can't be nice to my daughter. I don't think that was the best message. But, at the same time, I grew up with and got bullied by people like SB, so the fact that she got upset... really, couldn't even hear the world's smallest violin. And it's great that it didn't ruin the slumber party. Story 6: Promposals are a stupid idea. Who the hell came up with that? Publicly ask someone to prom in a big show, and if they say yes, was it because all the attention was on them and they were put on the spot and didn't want to look like an asshole? Because if they say no, the person doing the asking is absolutely humiliated. It's a bullshit scenario. I feel like maybe giving him a .5 out of 5 buttholes, because it does seem just a bit like the reason he didn't want to go with her was because of her disability, but the far greater portion of this story seems that they were just friends who had grown apart and he had someone else he'd rather go with. I get the social pressure of accepting, but he did publicly accept and then go to privately reject, and that is kind of a dick move. But it's a dick move that gets seriously mitigated by the bullshit that is the promposal. Story 7: Zero out of 5 buttholes. Yeah, sure, they didn't "own" the name, but it was known within the family for YEARS that this was the name they were going to use for a child, and the cousin just snatches it up because they got their first? Not cool. I had something vaguely similar happen. Had a name that I would absolutely use if I ever had a daughter chosen from the time I was 17 or so. Had my daughter at the age of 34 and gave her that name. Well, turns out in the step-branch of my family, there's a girl with a similar name (spelling is slightly different). No one made a big deal other than commenting that the name was similar, and my mom (for whatever reason) felt the need to pass on the story. After a brief moment of feeling like it might be "a thing," I just let it go because these are people that I just don't interact with. Not that I hate them or anything, they just live 1300 miles away from me and I've only even met them a handful of times, so it's not like we're super close or anything. So whatever, the names are similar. What the cousin in this story did was FAR shittier. Story 8: Zero of 5 buttholes. Negative rating if possible. If the parents really wanted that money to go to the church, they could have bequeathed it in their will. What they were doing was trying to manipulate OP to not only associate with, but financially support, an institution that had caused OP harm. Fuck that! Story 9: Zero of 5 buttholes. The school effectively stole OP's kid's lifesaving medical supplies. Like OP, I'm glad the kid was okay, as those epipens likely saved her life. But if the school takes it, the school should replace it. What happens if there's another allergic reaction? How much money is OP supposed to pay to make sure HER kids have lifesaving meds available if the school is just going to yoink them because they're available? What if her kids had an allergic reaction, and no one knew about these emergency epipins, and no one told the mom that they weren't there anymore because they were used on another child? Yes, protect the kids, but if those meds came from someone else, and the school took them, the school should replenish them or reimburse the parent for the cost. Anything else is bullshittery of the highest order. The superintendent knows what's what. Good job they're around.

[@annegriswold2116]

From this collection of stories, none of the posters was the asshole. In the server one, it should not matter if the waitress had a mental disability. I imagine that in order to work there she had to show she was able to perform the tasks that were needed. I agree with another comment that another server should have been told what was going on. To help figure out what was going on, and instruct that server that it was not appropriate behavior. Especially since that might cause the place to lose business if they were serving a table that did more than not leave a tip. As yes it was a bit of a deal for her not to tip the usual amount, but tipping is the choice of the patron, though yes I do understand in most situations that wait staff do get a chunk of their earnings from tips. But yeah, no one was the asshole in these, the reactions seemed justified across the board.

[@jaimejones3177]

Epipen: They used BOTH? Yeah it's great they helped the child, and great you'll be reimbursed... but wtf would have happened if your daughter needed them that same day?! I'm sorry... but they did NOT have the right to use all of YOUR child's life saving meds on a different child. That may seem cold.... but itd be no different than my son's school using up his inhaler on another student only for my son to suffocate shortly after because he was out of medication. No way. EDIT: I paused the video PERFECTLY. Lol After I posted, the hit play again...Marks very next sentence was asking what if OPs daughter needs those meds the same day. Thas wud I'm sayin! 👊❤️
