AITA for opening my soon to be daughter in law's wedding dress before she did?

by /u/Ok_Range8560

My (soon to be) daughter in law has been working with a designer for the past year to create an outfit for one of the wedding events. She asked me if she could have it shipped to my place to hold onto since her apartment complex loses packages often and I agreed.

The package arrived this week and I opened it and took the dress out to send her pictures of it. The reason I did this is because she's been anxious about some of her other outfits for the other wedding events and I wanted her to be able to see it so she knows it turned out well.

Well this turned into a huge problem and she was so upset that I opened it without asking her, and she kept saying the dress was supposed to be a surprise for the big day and that she wanted to be the one to open it.

My son yelled at me basically implying that I'm an AH with no boundaries, but I was just trying to help.

AITA?

AITA for not taking my autistic cousin on vacation to Europe?

by /u/Okami843

I’m 25, & my mom has been living over in Europe for the past few years taking care of my grandparents. My 17 year old brother & I along with our significant others are planning on going to see her as well as travel for 3 weeks this summer abroad. My aunt & uncle asked for details of the trip as she wanted to come along with my autistic cousin (15 years old). I had no problem with this & gave her the entire itinerary as well as the dates our flights were so they could best coordinate with our schedule.

As the days went on we were in touch & it went from all 3 of them going to just my uncle & cousin, to then her telling me I need to give her exact flight numbers because my cousin can’t travel by himself. I very nicely explained to her that not only is there not enough room in our car for a 6th person (I had assumed they would have rented their own car if they were all coming along, my mom is picking us up from the airport in her car), but I also expressed how I wouldn’t be comfortable being responsible for his safety halfway across the world for such a long period of time.

Every time I take him somewhere to make him feel included he has an episode, the last time was just a few months ago & it was the worst episode he’s had. We went go karting & before everyone could even get in their go karts he started cursing out the staff because they “gave him the wrong go kart number”, then he froze in the middle of the road making weird faces & screaming. No one was able to start the ride because he wouldn’t get off the course for over 30 minutes, I was so scared they were going to call security or the police to physically take him off. We finally managed to get him in the car & home but the entire process was almost 2 hours.

I told my aunt about all of this when it happened and she brushed it off because everything ended up being fine. Back to our conversation I explained to her how if he were to do this at the airport & we all missed our flight that would not be fair to everyone else. It is a very extensive trip spanning multiple countries & lots of planning is going into it so my brother & I can spend quality time with our mom who we don’t get to see often. I told her I would still love for her, my uncle, & cousin to come but they would have to make their own accommodations.

I sent a long detailed paragraph & was very civil. The only response I got from her after all of this was “I see, message received”. AITA?

AITA for not going to my soon to be sister in laws wedding

by /u/Caringcarebear3255

I want to start this by clarifying that I am not in the wedding party, I would have been a guest. My fiancé and I were invited to his sisters out of state wedding happening at the end of this month. As a courtesy and to build friendship I sent her a picture of two dresses that I was deciding between 4 months before the wedding and asked her opinion. We don't have a lot in common and this was the only thing I knew we could carry a conversation about. She picked the pretty blue dress that matched the family color theme. Fast forward to 3 weeks before the wedding she sends me a text saying she decided she doesn't like the dress after all and says she will take me shopping at goodwill to get a dress "more appropriate" for $10 max. I told her I paid a lot for the dress and didn't understand the issue. She texted back huge messages about I needed to get over myself and had no idea how stressful it is to plan a wedding, that she doesn't even know if she can pay for the venue. She had asked to borrow $1000 a week before that for the wedding and we couldn't help as we are saving for our own wedding and didnt feel comfortable we would be paid back as has happened in the past. She ended the convo there but later texted my fiance letting him know my son from a previous relationship and his "girlfriend" meaning me are no longer invited to the wedding. My fiance is refusing to go without us and told her we are his family. She retracted the whole statement a day later and said everyone could come but I don't go where I am not wanted. I told my fiance he could go without me if he wanted but he doesnt want to go anymore. AITA for refusing to go?

AITA for choosing my brothers school bully over him for my wedding

by /u/MostTomatillo7838

My brother in middle school had a bully Max. School kinda sucked and didn’t do anything about it. I am 4 years older than my brother and Max. I didn’t have the money to go to college so I spent a few years saving up cash. I went to a community college and Max was there with me.

We were in the same track, so we worked together before. I don’t get close to him until my grandfather died and my family didn’t tell me until the day of the funeral. It was rough and he really helped me out. I brought up his bullying and he told me he will send a letter to apologize. My brother got it and basically said I don’t forgive him which is his right.

I am 34 now and I am still close with him. He is being my best man. I told my family this and most were happy since they know how much he has helped me out before. My brother on the other hand hates it. He told me he won’t come to my wedding if he is invited. We got in an argument with me just saying you can’t be in the same building and not talk to someone. He claims it’s is the principal of it and won’t go to the wedding unless I uninvited him. That I am picking a bully over him, buts it’s been almost 15 years and he has helped me so much

Edit: anyways I talked to my brother this doesnt really have anyhting to do with max and more with me, he is upset that he isn’t best man. He was upset by that and didn’t want to go at the beginning when he heard it was max that made it worse and brought up old feelings about middle school. We had a nice conversation and I explained why he wasn’t chosen, we arnt close. Also brought up I wasn’t in his wedding party either. We are all good and he is gonna go. Also shows him this thread and we had a good laugh about it

I find it really weird that people don’t believe people change especially this happened in middle school.

AITA for telling my daughter to STHU during a family dinner?

by /u/Throwaway1156556

I'm a father of two girls (Lyla 18 bio, & Sophia 19 stepdaughter) I refer to both girls as my daughters, I rarely use the word "step" with Sophia because it doesn't feel right to me thinking of her as a step away from being a daughter to me.

Alright so onto the situation. Sophia suffers from skin problems. It affects her life and she constantly has to adjust her diet or stop eating certain foods so it won't make her skin problems worse. She struggled a lot with her appearance but started wearing makeup as coverup and found that it boosted her self confidence and made her become more outgoing and social.

Lyla is the opposite, she hates makeup and calls those who wear it "fake" and "phoney". She had hurt Sophia in the past with her comments and excuse it by saying that she's just being "authentic" and honest.

Last night, I went to visit my wife's family for dinner and Lyla decided to join us. We sat down and talked. then Sophia brought up her new boyfriend that she met at an art museum. I noticed Lyla rolling her eyes hard as Sophia talked about her boyfriend's college choice and the opportunitites he's getting. My wife excitedly said that Sophia and her boyfriend are a perfect young couple. Lyla spoke up to Sophia and said "has your boyfriend seen your real face yet? cause you're wearing a fake one" (she meant to say that makeup made her look fake). I was dumbfounded I shouted "SHUT THE HELL UP LYLA" Lyla looked at me in shock while Sophia excused herself to the bathroom. Lyla and I started arguing, She told me that Sophia took it personally and she was just being "authentic" like I "taught her". I told her authenticity isn't about assholery and that she was way out of line for hurting her stepsister for literally no goddamned reason, no reason at all. My wife and her parents tried to de-escalate but Lyla started yelling about how obvious and blatant my favoritism had become then stormed off.

She stayed quiet the entire ride home then called her mom who started berating me for yelling at and scolding our daughter infront of my wife and her family. I told her they got nothing to do with the fight but she said that I was a terrible father, and a control freak.She said she won't let me continue to wear Lyla down and ruin her selfesteem by berating her and putting her down publicly.

Layla is now avoiding me and the rest of the family. My wife thinks we should talk.

AITA for using a clothesline & "making my neighborhood trashy"?

by /u/BeeYehWoo

I began line drying during covid; changed our laundry routine while bored at home during lockdown. Our house has a large clothesline setup, a previous owner had metal posts set into concrete in the backyard & I bought some new line to string between them.

This spring, with the warmer weather begins my third year using a clothesline. I have real data showing significant energy savings. I can hang 5 loads outside & they'll all dry in an afternoon. Laundry smells fresh; better than those "outdoor fresh" dryer sheets that smell artificial. When I mow the lawn & hang clothes after, the fresh cut grass & breeze give bedsheets a great scent. Our clothes last longer & look better. We still use the dryer sparingly if we need a garment immediately. I use a clothes tree in the basement to dry during winter or if raining. I like the "green" aspect of all this.

Since I started hanging clothes again, I found a note taped to my front door from a neighbor I dont know well.

-I make the neighborhood look "third world" like hillbillies live here, my hanging clothes are eyesores that lower property values & can be seen by potential homebuyers (there are several houses for sale on my street). I should use a clothes dryer like normal civilized people.

-This person lived in an HOA with a bylaw banning clotheslines & wishes the same law would pass here.

-When I hang my wife's clothes, it's "indecent" & visible to children.

So my clothes decay the neighborhood. This is a clothesline, not a beat up car on a lawn. So, I washed every dog blanket, comforter, towel, bath mat, dish rag etc... in a fit of spring cleaning & hung laundry every sunny day of the week. I showed the letter to neighbors I trust & with my help they started line drying too! Not out of spite but I want that neighbor to see line drying as commonplace & she'd have others to go up against.

The only point I might understand are my wife's intimates. She is busty & wears "loud" colors so a red striped bra with large cups or a lacy thong are certainly visible.

If Victoria's Secret displays intimates on a mannequin & women can wear swimsuits at the beach, why is it a problem to hang laundry outdoors? Its not even an actual woman showing skin; its laundry without a body! Are these kids so fragile that a mere whiff of sexuality in form of panties on a line is enough to corrupt them? What about male underwear, are my boxers ok to display? I could hang her intimates indoors but I never thought ppl were so prudish. My wife never demanded her intimates dried indoors.

I continue to line dry & wonder what our next encounter will be like. I wont respond to the note. Stepping back, Im also realizing this is one of the most ridiculous things I ever heard. How could somebody accuse clotheslines of these things (e.g. they attract crime)? Im also looking for judgement. Who is the asshole?

AITA for not leaving a restaurant I was at with my dog because a lady was allergic to dogs?

by /u/Unique_Clothes7984

My town is very pet friendly and few restaurants around here actually allow pets inside (on a leash of course and with their vaccine cards). My boyfriend and I occasionally take our dog to a specific restaurant which is pet friendly and even has a pet menu to order food for your cat or dog for example.

My bf was working late yesterday and as I was walking my dog I decided to sit down at that restaurant with my dog and grab a meal. The staff there all know us by now. As I had been served and I started eating my meal, and my dog had his own meal, a lady approached me and told me she's allergic to dogs so if I don't mind, I should sit on the outdoor area of the restaurant. I told her, this is a pet friendly restaurant. She told me she's aware but still since she's allergic I should comply and get the dog outside and she'd help me move my stuff. I said sorry but I'm not moving and if she's allergic she can move and sit on a table farther away. She said she's the one with the health issue so I'm the one who has to make the sacrifice out of respect. I told her sorry but no, I have already started my meal and she hadn't even ordered so she should move. She started raising her tone at me and started threatening me that she'll get me kicked out and call the police on me. I told her to go ahead. Some other restaurant customers got involved and told me I should just leave. I then asked the waiter if I am supposed to leave and he said no since I'm not breaking any rules. The lady called the restaurant manager and told him to kick me out and he said the same, that I'm not doing anything against the policy. But many of the customers got mad at me for not leaving because they claimed that by not leaving I kept provoking the other woman. AITA?

Glenn Close discovers Snapchat, turns into Woody Harrelson

by Gabe Worgaftik on News, shared by Gabe Worgaftik to The A.V. Club

The good news: Glenn Close has discovered Snapchat. It’s always fun to find a new app, and, even if Snapchat has lost a lot of its luster on account of its best features being stolen by Instagram, there’s still plenty of fun to be had on there. Snapchat’s goofy filters can turn you into a dog or make you vomit…

We are very nervous about the new Something Wicked This Way Comes movie

by Meredith Woerner

We are very nervous about the new Something Wicked This Way Comes movie

Oh dear, we're not sure what to make out of this news. Seth Grahame-Smith, the author behind Abraham Lincoln, Vampire Hunter (which we loved) and the screenplay for Dark Shadows (which we loathed), is getting his directorial debut remaking our beloved Something Wicked This Way Comes. Dammit, why couldn't they start him with Battleship 2 or something?
