Large Sister-In-Law Knowingly Destroys Expensive Chair, Refuses To Pay For It


Under most other circumstances, all parties would probably just laugh this one off. But this time, OP had an explicit conversation about how her brand new hammock chair probably wouldn't be able to hold the weight of her sister-in-law, to which she agreed. But only moments later, she sits in the damn thing and tears it apart, rendering the thing useless. OP cared a lot about that thing, so she had some choice, frustrated words for this woman who knowingly broke her nice chair.

This resulted in counter-claims of fat-shaming which where complemented by a refusal to pay for the chair. The thought on everyone's mind was "it's still a dick move to agree to not break someone's stuff, go through with breaking someone's stuff, and then refuse to pay for the stuff you broke."

Funny Tweets to Stave Off the Creeping Dullness of Life Itself


The world is a big place, and it's constantly full of things. Things to be noticed. Things to be commented upon. Things to be complained about, taken apart, and put back together the wrong way. The internet is a place where people get to tinker with their ideas, get feedback, and release the abominations that are their thoughts upon this virtual land. Some of it is just people trying to release the burden of their dumbest ideas in a place where they'll have some kind of value. Other times it's noting the peculiar shape of a cloud.

Whatever makes itself into this digital landscape may be worth commenting on or not, but it's at least sort of fun figuring it out. Especially when someone gets a weird cake or accidentally orders a burrito a few hundred miles from their current location.

Here are some funny tweets to decimate that clawing boredom.

Brother-In-Law Starts Wedding Drama Over His Friendship With Groom's Ex-Girlfriend


When your family members become friends with your partner, breakups can get spicy. I've seen it happen countless times within my own family, and it's always a recipe for some good ol' fashioned family drama. It's only natural that your family form their own relationships with your partner. It's incredibly healthy and should be encouraged (if you have a healthy family dynamic.) But, people do grow apart and fall out of love. Sometimes things just weren't meant to be. So when your now-friend spits from their partner, your family member, what do you do? Ideally, an amicable relationship on all sides would be possible, but it's often not. So then you have people "choosing sides," and that's when the drama starts. 

In that way, I can see how it would be hard for this brother-in-law to watch his family member move on from a relationship with his friend, but when you're family, sometimes you need to learn when to keep your mouth shut. 

What do you think? Who is in the wrong here?

People Share Times "The Worst They Could Say Is No" Was Worse Than "No"


There's little gain in life without taking a few risks. And while rejection is hard, we comfort ourselves by saying those magic words, "the worst they could say is no." And while that's usually true, there are other instances where being vulnerable, showing our cards or extending ourselves can backfire for us catastrophically.

It could be a crush you ask out who says "I would literally rather go on a date with a trench coat full of rats than spend another second with you" right before she gives you a wedgie. It could be a boss who you ask for a raise who says "this is a great time to talk about some cutbacks we're making at the company" right before he gives you a wedgie.

Life can be a lot, and you've gotta risk it for the biscuit. Even if there's a nonzero chance that biscuit could be bad news and an atomic wedgie.

Wife Invites Mother to Anniversary Getaway, Husband is Put Out


There's nothing like a nice romantic getaway to clear your head and reconnect with your partner. Nothing to do except drink PiƱa Coladas on the beach while you dig your toes into the sand. Just you, your partner… and your partner's mother? Hold on, wait a minute. Is this the plot of the next Adam Sandler Netflix movie?

This thread was posted to Reddit's r/AITA (Am I the A-Hole) subreddit by the husband, u/tripjackedaita, who posted the topic with the title "AITA For telling my wife that she hijacked our anniversary trip?" He posted the topic to the popular subreddit in order to appeal to readers and see whether or not he was wrong for reacting the way he did when his wife invited his mother-in-law on their trip. His wife is upset with him for his comments and he's upset with her for even inviting her mother. 

What do you think? Who's in the wrong here? What's the call?
