Re: AITAH: Am I the A**hole Here?

Okay so my son has a robotics competition today. One of the teammates is ill today and can't make it, it is a team of 5 boys. His mom sends a message to all the parents from her son about the teams roles today that she says is from her son. The text has roles for 3 of the boys and excludes my son from the message.

I called her out on it and we ended up having a long phone conversation about the concept of a team. She sees nothing wrong with her text and her son wasn't trying to exclude my son. I explained excluding one member of the team is a problem regardless of whether it was intentional or not and it is her responsibility to proof the text if you are going to let someone else send a message from your phone to ensure the message is proper.

She told me my actions made her feel vilified in front of the other parents in the group text. AITAH?

Not the A hole but I might have gone about it differently. I would have texted back on the original something like your son, "will take the sick boys place today as Captain like we agreed" or something like that. Then she either backs down or calls you.

Re: AITAH: Am I the A**hole Here?

I found an unquestionable asshole.

On a layover in Houston. At the airport Buffalo Wild Wings to kill some time. I take a guys seat at the bar right when he got up. Looked down to move his bill, accidentally saw it. 57 dollar tab and no tip. And he didn't leave cash because I sat down before the bartender came over to grab the receipt and clean-up.

Then on the opposite side, a guy comes in after I was already here and it has been all no ma'am, yes ma'am, thank you ma'am.

Low class and super high class.
