AITA Reddit - Funny Ones

So there's this weird friend (of a friend) I have who says she's allergic to water. Like.. severely allergic. She says if she drinks a mouthful of water she goes into full blown anaphylactic shock and she says she has to drink only whole milk every day. She says even intravenous saline causes her to go into shock.

Well my friend organised a dinner and she was there too. I remember her making a big deal that there's no gravy on her dinner because the gravy has ''too much water'' and if she eats it she'll go to the ER. I asked her why she was freaking out about the gravy and she reminded me about her ''H2O molecule allergy''.

I then pointed out to her that the saliva she swallows all the time every day is literally 99.5% of the H2O molecules she claims to be deathly allergic to and that she was a drama queen with a fake allergy. I pointed out to her that if a sip of water sends her into shock then a single swallow of her saliva will send her into shock too. Shortly after she began to have what looked like a panic attack and long story short she had to go to the ER. According to my friend I ruined the dinner so I'm not sure if I should of said that or not. I was already a little pissed off because before I came to the dinner I watched a documentary about people who have nothing wrong with them but claim they have this and that and get money/donations for being illness fakers.

AITA for not getting the flu shot at my friends insistence, therefore I am unable to help her with her babies?

My good friend has a toddler, along with newborn twins. Her husband just went back to work from paternity leave, so she reached out to our friend group asking for help. I don’t have nor want children of my own, so I can only imagine how hard it must be trying to entertain a toddler, feed one baby, burp the other, etc. I offered to come help with cleaning, laundry, cooking and the babies over the next few weeks so I can give her some relief.

She texted me today and told me that her husband is insisting that anyone who sees the kids has to have had their flu shot. I totally understand, however I have never gotten the flu shot, and never intend to get it.

So, AITA for then telling her that I am unable to help with the babies now since I am against the flu shot? Her reply to me was pretty cold and I feel terrible. I don’t like to say no to anyone.

I have an old car, a 1998 Subaru outback, and it's a solid car. I got it in highschool because it was what I could afford and I wasn't expecting it to last too long. But eight years later it's still going strong. I'm a mechanical engineer and I can do a lot of the maintenance and fixes myself now, so it's been really cheap to maintain. It's stick shift which makes it pretty reliable too.

It's had some accidents, one that dented up the hood before I bought it, one sideswipe from a drunk driver that just caused cosmetic damage, one time it was rear ended on a snowy day and I had to replace the back panel of the bodywork.

It looks well worn too, someone who owned it in the past must have been a chain smoker because there's plenty of little burn marks and discoloration.

But it's mine, it's special to me, I call it my adventure wagon and have taken it traveling all over the country. I know it well and it taught me a lot about maintenance.

Anyway, I work at a techie company in a city, and it's a place a lot of people don't need to drive since there's great public transportation.

A few of my coworkers, John and Tim, were going to a conference along with me. Our boss thought none of us had cars and suggested expensing a rental car, but he seemed stressed about the cost and was waffling on whether to even send us. Then I said I have a car, I just don't take it to work very often, but I could drive to save the team some money. He said absolutely, and I'd get reimbursed for gas and tolls plus a little extra for wear and tear.

So we got going to the conference in my car. John, who's a friend of mine, had no problems with my car. But Tim, who I don't know too well, but I know he tends to ramble on about stuff, just started complaining, and complaining, and complaining.

The car was so dented and scratched... It smells funny... The seats aren't comfortable... there's no air vent in the back... Why won't the window open... How old is this thing anyway... It shakes when it goes... Is this as fast as it'll go... It does not shift smoothly... Is this a burn mark here... You're using a casette??? I want to listen to something else...

I was getting annoyed, and I didn't really acknowledge his rambling and turned up the music. He started complaining about how shit the speakers are.

I turned around and was like "tell me about your car? Oh right, you don't have one. Don't complain if you don't have anything better to offer."

He said that he didn't get one because he took the subway, but if I was gonna have a car, why didn't I get a decent one? Mine seemed like a death trap, it was noisy and uncomfortable,

I said that it was a normal car and he was acting real entitled for someone who didn't even have a car, like he could talk after he got off the subway and started driving.

The rest of the drive was super awkward and quiet.

AITA for being so annoyed?

Dear Reddit,



My boyfriend and I have been together for a year. We're both in our early thirties, and white-collar professionals.



He owns a business and does a lot of trade via credit card and thus accumulates a lot of frequent flier points.



He frequently flies first/business class for overseas conferences/holidays using these points. I fly economy via my own cash and have never viewed myself as being able to 'afford' business class.



We have booked our first overseas holiday together and he was busy looking up business class flights (his initiative, didn't ask me). I assumed because we were using his points, that I would not have to pay him back for my share of the flights cost. My thought process is that this is because those points are a 'bonus'. He would have done trade anyway and he earned points on top of that. Also, I wouldn't fly business if it weren't for him.



Anyway, it came out to nearly $1000 extra I would have to pay (on top of economy had I been paying cash). Technically I do have the money but I just don't see the point of spending it on business class flights (that's almost a week's salary to me). He uses business class to be productive and preferenced it for that reason.



Edited to add: we usually take turns paying for things. For domestic holidays, they were split roughly 50-50.



AITA for assuming that if he was using his points, I would not have to pay him cash?
