I (400 F) used to have this really good herb that I'd use in my routine which helped me stay beautiful and young, but some rich person came and stole it when I forgot to hide it properly and ATE IT for some reason. I found out someone from their family had the effects of the herb so I took them and adopted them as one of my own and took care of them and gave them whatever they wanted, and protected them from the outside world, which also helped me keep my routine which I live on. The kid ran away with a wanted criminal and when I told them to come home they refused to and got mad when they found out they're adopted and left me. AITJ?

My uncle (111 M) gifted me (33 M) a ring before leaving to go traveling. A close family friend (2,000+ M) told me to destroy the ring due to problematic associations with the jeweler who made it, but the ring is precious to me, and I would feel guilty throwing it away. AITJ?

The real world can be cruel and unjust and full of lies. I (48M) wanted my son (29M) to live in a world where he can feel safe and live a perfect life. At the same time, I wanted to inspire, spark joy and provide excellent entertainment to the common, poor, unhappy people who work unfulfilling jobs and are just struggling to get by. Then I had an idea, why don't make my dream into reality, Reality TV to be precise. Everyone can grow up watching my son.

Some people are calling me controlling or saying I violated his rights. But I did this out of love. I gave him a better life than 99.9% of people ever get. He’s my masterpiece. Am I really the jerk for not wanting to watch my son walk out into a cold, meaningless existence just because he’s having an identity crisis? AITJ?

I (100+ m) Always found fault in the way people lived, there were not enough resources to go around, so i decided to help them out by decreasing the population! So i got ahold of these powerful gems, and helped this planet, but apparently i was being the villain here. So AITJ for trying to save everyone from extinction?

I (38m) got in an argued with my Grandfather (85m) during his birthday party, during which he told me he’d cut me, and the rest of our family, from his will, and planned on giving everything to his Brazilian nurse (31f).

I stormed out of the house, then snuck back in through the back to switch his medication vials around, hoping to trick her into poisoning him with morphine. It didn’t work, she ended up giving him the right dosage, but in their panic he slit his own throat, hoping to keep her from being indicted, because if it was traced back to her, her mother would be deported from the country.

After I found all of this out, I burned down the examiner’s office that had his toxicology report, which would clear her name, but I was too late, and ended up receiving an email from my grandfather’s housekeeper (44f) with a copy of the toxicology report and a rendezvous time.

I anonymously forwarded that email to the nurse with a later rendezvous time, then went to the meetup spot at the time I was given to murder the housekeeper.

Unfortunately, she was found alive and taken to a hospital, and I was taken in for questioning. I told them the entire story from the nurse’s perspective, where she was the guilty party, and after the detective told her, she decided to confess to the whole family that she killed our grandfather.

Somehow, though, they got another copy of the toxicology report, and the detective stopped her, then they pulled me aside and some private investigator with a Foghorn Leghorn accent starts making up some convoluted story about how I’m the guilty party, which no proof, obviously.

After he finished, the nurse got a call from the hospital, and she claimed the doctor told her that the housekeeper was alive, so I admitted that I attempted to murder my grandfather and the house keeper, but since my first attempt never really happened and the housekeeper didn’t actually die, I would be out of jail in no time.

Suddenly the nurse threw up in my face, she vomits when she lies, and admitted that she lied about the housekeeper living. And since the detective records everything, for some reason, they had my confession on tape.

All I wanted was my rightful inheritance, my money and my ancestral home, am I the jerk?

I (1,000 M) was a victim of world hunger so after witnessing my people die i went to another place and started collecting different rocks to solve world hunger before i encountered a domestic terrorist (who later went on to kill me) and many other domestic terrorists (one called himself a god and one was…. vegan) i did have to throw my daughter off a cliff as i made a deal

The guy who called himself a god threw a freaking axe at me!! Luckily i survived and cured world hunger (and stopped the whole world from exploding but that’s a whole different thing) before THEY TRAVELED BACK IN TIME TO BRING BACK WORLD HUNGER AND KILL (unalive) ME!!!! And the weirdo who killed (unalived) me just said his name ominously…. the insanity of some people is really concerning

So AITA

I (15ish M) have 2 amazing friends. We hang out all the time and share many fond memories. The government, however, wants to build a highway over our houses, meaning we have to move. My dad works elsewhere, so we're moving very far away from my friends which makes me sad. On top of that, I discovered that this construction project is also a front for discovering an alien race and studying it rather than helping it return home. So, my friends and I sneak into a girl's house along with other locations to gather the supplies needed to send our alien friend back home. This gets me in trouble with the law, am I the jerk?

Look, I'm a shy and anxious guy (50ish) that can be a bit pessimistic. I just have a natural gift for being perceptive. I guess people only like to hear the good things. Anyway, it was my twin sister (50ish) and brother-in-law's wedding day. I looked at the forecast and saw there was bad storm coming. I went to warn her and what does she do? She throws a MASSIVE temper tantrum. I can't help she's extremally bipolar. I felt such like an outcast that I left my family, I felt like I was a burden. Now all they do is tell lies about me and not to bring my name up around the family. AITJ?

Me (12F) and my brother (12M) are currently on a vacation for the season, staying with our uncle. Our vacation has been really fun up to this point, we even adopted a brand new pet!

My brother, however, broke the news to me that he got a job opportunity and will not be going home with me, and I’ll be all alone in high school. We’ve always been really close, so I was of course devastated when he broke this to me.

During our vacation we befriended a man with the ability to time travel, and he told me that he would be able to make our vacation a lot longer, thus staying with my brother, if I just lent him an artifact that my brother was watching over.

When I gave our friend the artifact he immediately broke it, and it turned out that it was a god in disguise, and by giving him the artifact I just unleashed him to rule over the entire universe. He’s only taken over the town we’re staying in right now, but my brother is pretty unhappy with me.

I’m currently in a dimension where I’m totally happy, and I don’t think I want to go back to help face the god. My brother is here and trying to convince me to help. AITJ for unleashing the god?

I (21 f )just became queen of a small kingdom in Norway, this event has taken up all of my time recently and I’ve been very stressed about the w this, and honestly I just want it to be over.

my sister on the other hand (18 f) couldn’t be happier, she didn’t get out much growing up and was really looking forward to meeting new people.

I really should have paid more attention to her during the party I had a lot on my plate and was just trying to get trough the night, during the after party she disappeared for 3 or so hours and came back with a man I had never seen before, ( one of the guests ) and said they were getting married and wanted my blessing as queen, of course I was horrified! She had always been a bit Nieve but I never could have expected something like this, I tried to tell her calmly how ridiculous she was being but she didn’t listen and just kept saying it was “true love “ like in the fairytales, I told her she could NOT merry a man she just met and she got upset, I might of lost my temper a little but I think I was right to tell her no AITJ?

I (M) have a talent that I can’t exactly go public with. Let's just say the industry I’m passionate about isn't exactly open to someone of my background.

I met this guy who was failing at his job. We struck a secret deal, I’d be the brains and the skill, and he’d be the face. I literally spent every night teaching him, guiding his every move, and making him a star. Thanks to me, he went from a literal nobody to the talk of the city.

The problem? The guy started believing his own hype. He got a bit of fame and a girlfriend, and suddenly he was embarrassed of me. He started treating me like a dirty secret rather than the person who built his career. When I stood up for myself, he snapped, called me asmall part of the operation, and kicked me out.

Now, he’s facing a massive professional make or break moment and realized he’s completely incompetent without me. He’s asking for my help again, but I’m wondering if I should just let him fail since he’s so ashamed of who I am.

Am I The Jerk?

Answer : >!Remy From Ratatouille!<

When I was young, I was trained by my father to protect a gem that keeps away creatures that turn people into stone. During a feast with other tribes, I befriended a girl from another tribe that gives me a pendant. This makes me trust her enough to show her where the gem is being kept. However, she betrays my trust, which lead to the gem being destroyed, the creatures being released, and my father turned to stone. This leads me to have major trust issues, especially towards her. Years later, I meet the person who created the gem, and hoped she could make a new one to get rid of those creatures. However, she reveals that she did not actually create the gem. She proposes that we reclaim the broken pieces of the gem and reassemble it. She then convinces me to team up with my former friend in order to get the final piece. Despite what she did before, I eventually trusted my former friend by giving her back the pendant she gave me years ago. This, however, doesn’t stop her from pulling out a weapon and threatening my team. I tried to fight back, but she fires a shot at my friend and kills her. Rightfully angered by this, I try to kill her to avenge my friend. But then she has the AUDACITY to tell me that it was my inability to trust her that led to my friend’s death. NO IT IS NOT. Despite everything she did, I still brought myself to trust her, only for her to threaten us with her weapon. The weapon that SHE SHOT BY THE WAY, which ACTUALLY led to my friend’s death. But it the end, I did end up trusting her again, which apparently was the right thing to do, and it led to everyone being brought back and the creatures being vanquished. So was I really the jerk all along?

So I (40s M) recently got laid off from my job at an insurance office due to an incident that happened between me and my boss. I didn't tell my wife when I got home, and when I looked through the mail, I found I was being offered a different job. It was one I knew I would enjoy so much more, and would definetly pay more, but I knew my wife would disapprove - partly because it required a lot of travel and was more dangerous. So I told her that I was going on some work trips for the insurance company and accepted the new job.

While I was on a trip, my wife found out I no longer worked for the previous company, and that I was at the new job. She thought I was cheating too, WHICH I WAS NOT. She was understandably upset, but then decided to fly out and confront me, which put the whole job in jeapordy. My new boss had turned out to be a power-hungry inventor that was intent on killing me. I was really close to defeating him, but then my wife showed up with two of our kids and my boss tried to kill them. Long story short, we escaped but then were all kidnapped. Now we're trying to stop this guy before he destroys our hometown with a giant robot.

My wife is upset I didn't tell her about the new job. She says she would have rather me told her, but I know she would have tried to stop me, and our family really needed the money. AITJ for lying?

I (24m) fell in love with my fiance (23f) while working for her family. Not long after getting together we got engaged, but we didn't have enough money to marry, so I went out to find a job.

While I was gone, this famous murderer found, and kidnapped me, leading to her thinking I was dead. But in reality, I befriended him, and it led to me taking over his job and pretending to be him.

When I came back 5 years later, I found out my fiance was engaged to another man, and was understandably upset. I feel like she didn't truly love me if she moved on so soon.

After competing against a few homeless dudes that kidnapped her, I finally was reunited with her (I wore a mask while doing this (they're terribly comfy). She thought I was the famous murderer, and I accused her of not loving me and that's why I died, which led to her pushing me down a hill.

I write this as I fall down, AITJ?

so i live in this sort of post-capitalistic micro-society. we have no currency or economy, no formal government, and no real connections yet with other similar communities (i swear we aren't a cult tho). but we all have niches and roles that we play here, and it works out very well most of the time. we all enjoy living together in this society; every day feels like an opportunity to become part of a new story.

now, there's this guy who just moved into my community- we'll call him DG for "delusional guy." and he has been messing up my whole entire system here. to start, i'm basically like the defacto mayor here, but all my fellow citizens are losing respect for me because DG has come in and filled their heads with his crazy story of being some military hero fighting an imperialist dictator, and having insane abilities that just arent physically possible for us. we all know none of it is true, and ive expressed this a few times, but he continues fully believing his delusions and no one else from the community seems to have any misgivings about this. i truly believed DG was suffering from some kind of mental disorder or brain injury.

but still, everyone was fawning all over this guy. the girl i've been courting a while even flirts with DG sometimes. and to make matters even worse, almost immediately, our most important community member was practically eating out of the palm of his hand. we'll call him the governor. we don't have a true government, but if i'm like the mayor, this most important person is kinda like, the governor or something. and he is basically everyone's best friend. in particular, he was my best friend and I was his. but he was getting obsessed with this new guy, DG. and spending way too much time with DG, and practically neglecting myself and our other citizens. we depend on this governor for things like comfortable housing, community maintenance, employment and leisure programming, and more, but all he cares about now is DG. and DG doesnt even care about the governor in return! all DG cares about is fixing up his ride and returning to the delusions he's been spewing for days now.

one evening when our governor was invited on an outing with his boss (perhaps she could be considered our president?) she extended his invitation to include a +1. I knew that he would choose to invite DG, our newest local nutjob... so i did something that mightve been, maybe, a little bit... mean?

all i meant to do was push him into an area where he'd be inaccessible for a minute, out of sight of the governor for long enough that he would choose a different +1 for the outing. before DG showed up, it would have certainly been me that he chose, anyway!

unfortunately, the crazy dope moved at the wrong moment, and a horrible rube-goldberg style series of events led to DG being defenestrated. i'd later learn that he's fine, he wasn't even hurt, and his delusions would be resolved as he slowly broke free of some conditioning from before his move to our community.

but at the moment, everyone in our community thinks i murdered him. i did get chosen by the governor as the +1 in the end, though, so hopefully i've bought myself some time to figure out how to explain myself. i did not actually want to hurt DG! i don't think i'm a jerk for wanting to restore the balance and order that was working so well for our community before he showed up.

when i do have to face him again, and my other neighbors too, maybe this post will help. AITA for attempting to briefly, temporarily imprison DG, who i thought might be mentally ill or suffering from a brain injury? i swear i only had the community's best interests at heart. their growing acceptance of his delusions and disruption, and his swift overtaking of priority status with our governor, was all extremely concerning. the defenestration was absolutely not my plan and not my fault.

I (39 M) recently became concerned that my coworkers were unprepared for emergencies. Management ignored my concerns, so I decided to run an unannounced fire drill to test everyone’s reactions. Unfortunately some coworkers panicked, one person damaged company property, and another had a medical issue.

I did not know this medical issue would happen, but still is it not better for a medical issue to pop up during a fake fire than during a real emergency. Because of my test the company is now better equipped to handle a real fire, but now the head executives want to punish me.

But honestly, didn't this drill just prove my point that they weren’t prepared? AITJ?

I (30’s m) am a highly respected public figure. I grew up in a very privileged life with a wonderful Mom and somewhat neglectful Dad, but everyone at school seemed to love me. I always have wowed my classmates and teacher with the power of kindness. I’ve been given my own museum depicting all the times I’ve fought an old classmate (30’sm). We’ve got kind of a friendlyish banter thing going on and we’re both adopted so we have that in common.

Recently however, I’ve grown bored with the life I have and decided that I want to switch careers to something else instead of my current career. The only problem is I’m so famous that I would need to fake my death and go into hiding to do it.

So I decided to do it! I’m now hiding in a bunker that actually used to be where I went to school and I’m trying to pursue my new career now. But now my old classmate is sort of in control of my city now. AITJ?

I (10 M) have recently just started the 4th grade. We had an assignment where we had to write about what we did this summer. This one kid (also 10M) claimed that superheroes (m and f) from another planet visited him and he had origin stories made up for both of them, especially a tragic one for the male one. After he was done reading pretty much everyone threw paper at him for being so stupid. Some students asked about these superheroes but I being the competent one rightfully pointed out how absurd he sounded. My teacher threatened to give me a demerit for how I sounded even though once again, I’M in the right here! So at recess, I chased him and took his writings for myself. I crossed out his writings because let’s be honest, the kid needs to grow up.

As I write this in the middle of a storm, this kid came up to my desk unannounced and told me to give back his writings. I not wanting to get caught told him I didn’t have them but my teacher threatened to give me a demerit again and even wanted to nickname me after the demerit system. So I begrudgingly gave it back to him. He found out what I did and screamed that I ruined his writings. Because I’ve had enough of him I shouted that I didn’t ruin them and told my teacher he should expel the kid. I got his writings thrown at my head and now my teacher is angry. AITJ?

[This is technically from a TV show, not a movie, but I think it's fine since the Blissful Studios video also showed a post about The Office.]

I (26m) am an amnesiac- the only thing I can remember from before a year ago is fragmented images of being experimented on. Additionally, a year ago, I've started operating as a costumed vigilante saving people from mysterious monsters that appear seemingly at random.

Recently, I learned of a convicted murderer (23m), whom I'll call "R" for anonymity, escaping prison, so I confronted him in hopes of turning him in for a bounty. However, he vehemently denied commiting the murder (which obviously doesn't mean much). More importantly, he mentioned being experimented on in prison in an eerily similar manner to the fragments of memory I hold.

So, after fighting off another monster that appeared then, I decided to help Z hide from the authorities in hopes that he could help me find out something, anything about those experiments, since that could lead to the truth about my past. However, some law enforcement officers saw me (I was in costume at the time), so my alter ego is now an outlaw, which is especially bad since my civilian self works for the government.

So, AITJ?

I (53f) have psychic powers. With them, I tend to extract vital information from bad people, leaving them in a catatonic state. I feel no remorse. They deserved it for their crimes.

My now-ex boyfriend (6m) disagreed on how I get information that saves lives and when I tried to use my psychic powers to make him forget, he broke up with me.

Again, this information saves lives. And not just a couple lives. Countless lives. So what if the people withholding information are turned into vegetables. That’s their fault, not mine.

AITJ for what I’ve done?
