I (36M) was driving my nephew (16M) to school because his parents were sick. He’s a decent enough kid. The only thing that‘s a little tiring is that he really wants to be an influencer. I hold influencers in the same regard as people who participate in MLM scams (pyramid schemes).

He’s making a video for his something, it might be a live stream or for TikTok (I’m not a big social media guy), and he’s talking about his feelings or whatever. I‘m not paying a ton of attention to him because I’m driving, after all.

When we were waiting at a light, he asks me if I ever hide how I feel. I’m laughing on the inside because of course I do. I don’t pop off on my boss when he gives me a stupid task or I don’t get annoyed at rude waiters. I can’t always express how I feel, there had to be a filter.

So I tell him that sometimes I hold something back and it pains me. When I hold back, I can literally feel the pain in my stomach. After that, I just let out a large fart, it was something out of Adam Sandler movie. I just couldn’t stop laughing. Farts are funny. They are.

He told me that was extremely rude and uncalled for and it ruined whatever he was doing. I just said ok and continued to drive as we were just about at the school anyway. AITA for making a joke?

I (36M) watch NFL games often with my good friend (35M). During the last NFL season, he brought over a coworker "Todd" (29M) to catch some games.

Everything was fine, we all just drink beer and chill. After one of the games, Todd got super excited. I thought he won a bunch of money gambling or something. He was jumping up and down and yelling excitedly. I was even excited for him.

When I asked him how much he won, he told me we just had scorigami. It was the first time that an NFL game ended in that particular score. That’s it. I was bit confused because I didn’t understand what was so important. He told me that the score was unique and we just witnessed history. I just gave a puzzled look and laughed. I mean, all games are unique, no game is played the same way. So who cares if the final score is unique? I had the same amount of fun no matter if the score was unique or not.

For the first half of the next game, Todd gave me passive aggressive comments about me "hating fun". I just rolled my eyes each time and he took off at halftime.

Todd texted my friend to ask if he could watch some basketball with him at my place. When my friend texted me to ask, I told my friend no, I just don’t need unnecessary drama. I’m sure the Spurs-Timberwolves game was an NBA scorigami, so I’m kind of glad Todd wasn’t there. AITA for not wanting Todd over?

I (35M) was at my friends (36M) house just relaxing. Having some beer, watching playoff basketball, typical stuff.

We both play a lot of video games, both of us since we were young. He told me that one of the biggest reasons games suck now is due to microtransactions. He said that it’s just a waste of money and it’s play to win an so on

I told him it doesn’t bother me because I simply don’t need to buy it, so I don’t. I’ve never cared about getting a new costume or whatever nonsense they’re selling. The companies can try to sell it to me as much as they want, I just don’t buy it because I don’t care. It doesn’t affect my experience because it just doesn’t matter to me.

He kept telling me how serious an issue it is, but after a while I just shrugged my shoulders. I don’t want to get in a debate because I just don’t care about it. Despite playing a lot of games, it’s irrelevant to me, so I just don’t care. He got really mad and told me that I’m treating this way too lightly and that it’s a serious issue. AITA?
