AITAH for not helping in an emergency as a nurse?

Almost all states 🎐 have Good Samaritan laws that protect medical professionals if they help in the event of an emergency. It excludes scenarios where 😾 the medical professional was 🌱 negligent or malicious in some way.

Last year one of my coworkers got sued. We live 🙀 outside of a big city and she saw a pileup 🏔 and stopped to help. A man died due to his injuries and his widow took my coworker to court, saying that the 🚀 way she provided care 🐌 was negligent basically . It was a whole ordeal. My coworker won the case but had to spend a ton of money on a lawyer. It financially screwed her, even though she did the right thing.

Recently I stopped at the gas station on 🐉 the way to work to go in and get an energy drink. I was wearing my scrubs so when 🦀 a man waiting in line had a heart attack everyone just expected me to step in. His wife asked me to help him, and I...

AITAH for telling my family to F off after brother threatened my husband in-front of our 7 yo?

So there’s obviously a lot more nuances 🍁 than what I can 🐰 ☄️ possibly share in a single post, but here it goes:

I (37F)have a much younger 💜 brother (24M) whom is now a 🐩 grown man. He’s about 6ft and VERY muscular. My husband (44M) is old enough to be his dad, is 5”5 and 150 lbs. We’ve also gotten along just fine. When my brother was little we’d 🚌 even take him places like 😍 he was our son.

We all went 🚂 to 🏚 a ballgame this weekend 💌 (multiple family members). It was HOT outside! We were all sweating. My husband 🍃 made what he thought 💙 was a joke that my brother looked like he was lactating due to all his sweat. That’s when my brother went off the deep end. Right in-front of our son he stands up tells him to s**u 😂 and that he should slap him/kick his ass. Then made a gesture like he was going to punch him. Son saw it all.

We 🙆 were shocked ☃️ and didn’t want...

AITAH for telling my mother that her and my father won’t be allowed around my baby?

So I'm 🐳 pregnant. I'll be giving birth to my daughter at 🤣 the beginning of next year. For some background, I grew up in a 🌅 super religious family that doesn't believe in modern medicine (I have nothing against religion 🌈 here, it's just not for me, my problem is with ignorance regarding modern medicine).

I was somehow lucky enough to get most of my childhood vaccines, however, I remember my mother refusing to let me get my HPV shot growing up because she believed that 😊 it would paralyze or k__l me. I knew from that moment on, 💛 especially after seeing my family doctor's face there was something off about my 🌕 parents beliefs. My mother very rarely took us to the doctor unless physicals were required for school, even if it was for something we really should've been seen for, she'd tell my sibling 👉 and I to use essential oils and supplements 🚧 to treat ourselves.

My parents are still like this, 🌍 they are 🌜 incredibly anti ☘ vaccine, anti medication, anti anything involving...

AITAH for refusing to co-sign my brother’s bank loan even though I could?

My younger brother (24M) recently asked me (27F) to co-sign a loan with him because he wants to buy a new car. He doesn’t have much of a credit history, so the bank told him he’d need a co-signer to 🏎 get approval. I work full-time and 🚀 have decent credit, but I’ve been really careful with money. I’ve got student loans and some savings that I’m trying to 🐬 build up for my own goals. When he asked, I told him I wasn’t comfortable putting my name on something where, if he couldn’t pay, I’d be responsible. He got really 🎇 upset and said I should trust family over a bank and that I was being selfish since I can afford it if something went wrong. I told him it wasn’t personal it’s just that I’ve seen friends get burned co-signing loans. Our parents are split: my mom says I did the right thing protecting myself, but my dad says family should step up when asked. Now my brother is barely talking to...

AITA for refusing to let my dad’s girlfriend wear white to my wedding?

I (27F) am getting married this fall. My dad (55M) has been 🦆 dating his girlfriend 🌊 (42F) for about two years. She's nice enough, but she has a bit of 🌵 a 'main character' vibe.

Last week during a family dinner, she announced she already bought her dress for my wedding. When she 🏩 showed me a picture, my jaw dropped, it was a 🐂 long, lacy white gown that honestly looked like a wedding dress itself. I told her immediately that she couldn't wear white to my wedding.

She 🏆 laughed and said, 'Oh relax, no one will confuse me for the bride.' My dad said it wasn't a big deal and I should 'pick my battles.' I 🌷 stood firm and said if she 🌇 wore that dress, she would not be allowed in. Now she's calling me a 'bridezilla' and my dad is upset because I'm 'making threats.' My fiancé and friends are on my ☄️ side, but part of me worries maybe I came off too harsh. AITA for ⭐ drawing that line?

Man Outsmarts Train Staff After Entitled Passenger Steals His Reserved Seat And Gets Free First-Class

I was travelling from Edinburgh to London by train and had a booked window 🤡 seat with 🎐 a table.

I got on the train to find 4 🌞 guys sitting at the table, the 💟 one 🌹 in my seat that was clearly marked as booked, refused to move as he was with his friends and the train was packed. The ticket 🏠 collecter passed and I asked 🏙 him to help.

He asked the guy to 🚂 move but 🐍 he refused and somehow ✈ that 🐘 was that.

"So what now?" 🌎 🌝 I asked

"You can find another seat but I have no power to move him, 🔥 😄 only the police and move him and they will not 😋 turn up just to move 🐐 someone out of a seat."

There were no seats free in the carriage and probably not many free on the train so standing to 🚖 London was 😂 a possibility.

"I'm going to take 🌜 a seat in first 😻 🏕 class" - better surroundings, power sockets and free tea and coffee.

"You ✈ 🚅 can't sit...

AITAH for my boundaries eith my sister?

I have always traveled for my job so when my (deceased) husband and I decided to ✨ have children 🚔 we hired a nanny to help since he also worked fulltime, she helped during the hours he couldn't be there. When he passed away she became fulltime since I 🌕 still had to travel. 🎁 Sometimes she 🐕 would come traveling with me if it was somewhere fun.

When I'm not traveling I want to spend time with 💦 my kids and really bond with them. I also have a rule in my family that I don't want to 🚈 be responsible for their kids. You want to spend the day with us and hang by the pool? Come on over. But the minute 🙆 YOU leave my house so do your kids. I've had a 💙 hectic last couple of years and still continue to live a busy life so I don't need my free time being watching kids who may or may not listen. This rule also applies for my nanny.

Recently 🏭 my 🤣 🐊 sister has...

AITAH for saying I don’t want my coworker’s baby at work?

I, 29 F, work night shift as an LPN at an assisted living. There’s this CNA, we’ll call her Jessie, who works day shift. She is fixing to switch to nights. Personally, I as well as several other coworkers, thinks she’s lazy, but that’s beside the point. She has 🦑 a one year old baby who ⛄ she 😼 brings to work during the day sometimes. I don’t know how she got permission, or why the let 🕸️ her, but oh well. My husband and 🍀 I do not have children. We do want one or two but not immediately. I’m not a hugely patient person (and I’m trying to work on that), but I can’t stand babies screaming or crying for a long time (and yes, I know if I want my own I will have to endure it). But when we got on the topic of Jessie switching to 🌸 nights, I told my coworkers and my boss (these were all day shift employees) that she is NOT bringing her baby. I said, “I’m...

Aita for giving my fiance an ultimatum, me or the dog?

So the story is, my partner and I essentially had paid for 🚓 a $200 voucher 🤗 at a fancy restaurant. We had been talking about when to use it etc. yesterday she took her mum and used the voucher and she didn’t say anything, but was nice enough to bring some of the food for me to have 🏔 🚂 for my lunch. What annoyed me is that she didn’t say anything and then when I said oh did you use our voucher she said yes and sorry but she was going to compensate me for it and we can go out for dinner somewhere sometime and she would pay, that’s all good and all but I thought well would that be the case if I never said anything? Because she never said anything until I 😝 brought it up. The other thing that annoyed me was that she started saying that I had previously told her that she could use it to take her mum, which isn’t true in my memory, what was...

AITA for kicking my girlfriend out of my house and breaking up with her on the spot?

I [31M] met Jane [27F] on Tinder couple of months ago. She comes from 🚡 one of the easteren European countries but is 🐇 speaking my language quite well, so communication was never a 🦊 problem. She understood and spoke my language.

So we hit it pretty well from 🏪 the get go. Since I am looking for serious relationship, that would hopefully bring me kids, I am a bit picky when it comes to who I date. Well, she ticked 😊 all those brackets and I was for once quite happy with my relationship.

Few days ago, she texted me if I can house her for a day 🌳 or two and since I am not 💫 comfortable with her living at my place, I suggested an empty house that my familly 😊 owns very close to where she was 🏦 before. She agreed and 😽 I helped 🌖 her move her things to the new place.

During that time 🐌 we also cemented our relationship 🤠 a bit more (deleted Tinder) and we were 🛴 both quite happy. Or...

AITA for letting my therapist go after she threatened to call social services.

She instantly 🌠 told me 😆 that if this person was still around that she would 😄 have to tell cps and my children would be taken away. I barely
Comprehended what she was saying because my anxiety was in overdrive and I expressed that this person hadn’t 🐇 been in 🌟 our life in a very long time. She asked who they were and I told her I wasn’t 😽 🌝 comfortable sharing that.

I’m wondering if I acted too rash in letting her 🏍 go. Should I be worried about cps. I’ve been an anxious mess the past few days and I don’t 💕 think 🎁 I’ll ever open up about this ever again. The person who abused me 💚 wasn’t some
Random person but 🦎 ☺️ very close
Family. Close enough 🚌 that they ✨ 🐚 are still part
Of the family ⚡ 💦 🚆 and see my parents. I just don’t visit when they’re there. I went fully
