Our first story we'll be reading today. My care and wife is making me return the $600 gift I bought my mom for Christmas. After that, am I the jerk for walking out of a restaurant twice? After my wife made me the third wheel again? And after that, entitled parent refuses to accept I'm blind. Now for every thumbs up this video gets, one Karen does not get to make someone return a $600 gift. Goodness, I'm looking forward to hearing this story. So please smash that like button and subscribe and turn on notifications for new stories from Reddit every single day. My Karen wife is making me return the $600 gift I bought my mom for Christmas. To start, I want to mention that unlike my wife, I have a very good relationship with mom. And because my siblings can always afford pricey gifts for mom, this year I decided to gift her something nice and expensive for once on Christmas, though I'm currently unemployed, but I worked for the past few months and my wife and I have a joint account. The problem began when my wife found out I purchased a $600 necklace for my mom to gift her on Christmas using our joint account. She went off on me saying I should have told her and shouldn't have taken money from our joint account that she uses to pay the bills and rent, especially now that we're struggling. I asked why should I tell her since it's for both of us, but she reminded me that despite that being true, one I no longer work and two, $600 is a lot of money and I should have consulted her. But the reasons I didn't are, one, I feel that it's my money too and I can make purchases using our joint account and two, I know if I told my wife she'd refuse to let me buy the gift solely because she can't stand my mom. She yelled at me saying that it's her hard earned money that I threw away and I needed to return the necklace, but I refused because mom already knows about it. She responded that this is no longer our joint account since I no longer earn money and that if I want to gift mom expensive items, then I need to earn money. She insisted I return it, but I said no and it escalated to me calling her bitter and controlling after she pointed out I never got her anything in this price range. She's insisting I return it and at least get a cheaper one, but I'm done being the one with the least expensive and valuable gifts to gift in my family. She's making this her hill to die on. Am I the jerk? You're the jerk. Money shared is exactly that. Shared. You're in a partnership. You can't just spend the shared money willy-nilly and she has every right to be upset if you're using the money you both share to buy extravagant gifts for other people without talking it through first. My rule of thumb is always if it's more than $100, discuss it. Shared finances is not a "ask for forgiveness, not permission" situation. Totally you're the jerk. It's easier for you to spend someone else's hard earned money rather than your own. I find it curious that you wait to get your mom something nice and expensive for once when that "for once" happens to be when you're unemployed and money is tight. And you don't spend that kind of money on your own wife? Why would you think she'd be okay with you making such a large purchase using the money she made for someone you claim she hates? Again, when money is tight. I'm sure if you had gone and picked up a necessity or even a $25 gift card for your mom that your wife would have had a better reaction. Maybe instead of shopping for a gift for your mom that didn't need to be bought this year, you could have been shopping for a job. You treated money meant for bills and necessities as your personal little rainy day fund and you didn't even think about your wife first. Why did you marry her if you were going to put your mom above her? You're unbelievable. Not the jerk. People don't realize what marriage actually means anymore. Let me spell it out for you. A joint account belongs to both of you, which means no, you do not need her permission or anyone else's to use it. I can only imagine if the roles were reversed how all these Redditors would be telling her she's wonderful for buying a gift like that, then telling her to leave you because you're too controlling. But hey, that's Reddit for you. Take my advice, get out while you can, and find a partner who respects this sanctimony of marriage. I've been in your shoes before and it destroyed my mental health and got to the point where my, at the time, wife was trying to limit the number of hours I could play video games each day. We've thought about it nonstop and I admit I did some things that I'm not proud of. I just don't want you to end up in the kind of position I was, nobody deserves it. Well who do you think is the jerk, OP or his wife, please let us know. I wonder if that last commenter was for the Alliance or for the Horde, world of Warcraft for the win. Am I the jerk for walking out of a restaurant twice after my wife made me the third wheel again? I, 30 male, my wife, 29 female, planned a date night tonight as our kids were at my in-laws. We hadn't decided where to go and while driving my wife asked me where to go. I told her that I don't care as long as it's somewhere that her coworkers don't work because my wife works in the restaurant industry and knows a lot of people that work at the places near us. This turns into the majority of our dates being her talking with them instead of me. So I tell my wife, as long as I'm not made into a third wheel again this time, I'll be happy. She picks a text mex place and says, "I don't know anyone that works there." As soon as we walk into the restaurant, someone shouts my wife's name and a woman comes over to us and tells us she'll take us. Turns out this woman is an ex-co-worker. We sit at our table and my wife and her are already talking and gossiping about the things going on at their previous jobs. I wasn't mad at this point because I know that they want to catch up. After several minutes of this, she left to go get our drinks and my wife apologizes and says that she had no idea that she worked there. A few minutes later she comes back with our drinks and her boyfriend, who is also an ex-co-worker of my wife's, and they proceed to talk and ignore me again. Even after taking our food orders, she stays at the table and they talk for another 5-7 minutes instead of putting our order in. I try to join in and I'm ignored again. When she goes to put the order in, I tell my wife, "I asked for you not to do this one thing tonight." She proceeds to tell me that she didn't want to be rude and it's just small talk. I tell her that I tried to join in and they ignored me. She tells me that they didn't ignore me, they just didn't hear me. I was speaking as loud as they were. She then asks me, "What do you want me to do, tell her to buzz off?" I said, "No, politely tell her that you are on a date with your husband and we'd like to spend some time together." She tells me that this is rude and it's basically the same as telling her to buzz off. She tells me to stop being in a bad mood because we are alone now and that I am the only one ruining the night. I said, "Fine then, I'll remove myself" and got up and walked out of the restaurant. I stood outside several minutes until she called and begged me to come inside. There were a few issues with my meal which turned into another argument with her saying, "Nothing can be right because I'm in a bad mood because she spoke to someone." I told her that I refused to let her make me the jerk in this situation. She says that I'm being controlling and this is what normal people do and that I'm being psychotic. I ask her for the keys so I can go out to the car and cool off. She tells me no. I tell her I'm going to walk home and get up to leave. She calls me 20 minutes later, asks where I am, and comes to pick me up. This turned into another giant fight and her saying she's going to stay the night at her parents and that this is why her friends think I'm the jerk. So am I the jerk? Edit. I forgot to mention that our server's boyfriend that also works at the restaurant and knows my wife also approached the table and spoke to my wife. "We all have somewhere we're trying to get to.

Not the jerk. You made it clear that this was a sore spot and your wife chose to be rude to you rather than risk coming across as rude to her friends. She easily could have said, "It's so great to see you guys, but this is a rare night without the kids for us. So let's catch up later." That would have been considerate of everyone. She prioritized her friends over you. Everyone sucks here. This is going to cost me some karma, but hear me out. You guys have a big communication problem. Throughout your interaction, it is clear that your wife's behavior and responses makes you feel your opinion and voice aren't important. It's a valid and common feeling in relationships and you should not be ashamed of it at all. Your wife, on the other hand, seems to feel your request was unreasonable and a way to control her. It's also a valid and common feeling in relationships. One partner makes repeated pleas to be heard and the other feels controlled and feed into it by refusing to cooperate, creating a self-feeding loop. The more you ask to be heard, the more she feels controlled and refuses to hear. None of these feelings make either of you the jerk. What does is the way you both respond to conflict. She builds a wall of denial, convincing herself she's satisfied your demand within reason, and justifying any further request as you being unreasonable. She is the jerk for that. You in response decide to walk out on her. Because you are ignored, you decide to sabotage the already sinking ship. Most people don't understand that one, but walking out as a way of protest is damaging to the relationship. Walking away should be done to collect yourself and come back later to resolve the conflict. What you achieve by walking out is a bigger, more painful conflict than it already was, making you the jerk as well. You guys need to work on communication better. You love her and therefore yearn to be valued by her in such conversations, and since she gladly introduces you to everyone she knows, she loves you and wants you to be there with her. But somewhere along the way, you guys got lost and end up fighting over tangled up emotional responses. You're the jerk. You got so upset that your wife was chatting to a friend that you stormed outside to pout like a child. After you went back in, you had problems with your food and then got so upset, you wanted to leave and walk home? This is pretty childish behavior. It seems your wife legitimately didn't know that her former colleagues worked here and you never explained to the colleague that you were on a date night and would appreciate some privacy. And you needed to be the one to say that because it is your wife's industry. If your wife said it and it was taken rudely, it could affect her reputation. If you said it, worst case, they might think your wife is married to a jerk, but at least it wouldn't affect her. But in general, going outside to pout because your wife is talking to someone else and you feel like Nord just seems like something a child would do, not a grown man. Well, who do you think is the jerk, OP or his wife? Please let us know. I would have been like, "Excuse me, we're on a date night. Can you like stop bothering us?" Entitled parent refuses to accept I'm blind. You know, it's actually sad how often this sort of thing happens. I mean, being a blind girl, instances of ignorant people are daily. But entitled parents represent a certain level of infamy for me. But this one just happened, so hey, why not make myself feel better by making you guys read about my misfortune? The people involved. We've got me. We've got Entitled Mother, we've got Security Guard 1 and Security Guard 2. So since my parents are more at risk of getting sick, I've been going grocery shopping alone more and more often during the lockdown. Yesterday was one of these cases. Grocery shopping is a more involved process for a blind person. I have to ask a staff member to assist me. I also have my guide dog, gumbo, inside with me. The dog in itself increases the instances of bad experiences. Now, during my shopping, I always get a wide array of reactions to my dog. But one in particular occurred towards the end of my shopping. I heard loud footsteps, followed by the loud screech of "That dog is so cute. Can I pet him?" It was obviously a little kid by the voice, so I prepared myself before responding that no. My dog cannot be touched due to him being a guide dog. Surprisingly, the kid didn't act entitled, but seemed surprised and excited about a dog having a job. She, I believe it was a she, asked me a few questions and then laughed. I thought nothing of it and continued with my shopping. After I finished, I decided to stop by the food court on the way out for some lunch. So I went and made my way across the supermarket. I ordered my food, sat down and waited. But by some cosmic gracing of bad luck, that is the exact moment that this kid and their parent decided to walk close by. I heard the kid tell their mother about what I told her. But how my dog is working as a guide dog that I am blind and use him to get around, etc. The mother isn't really saying anything, but I can sort of tell by her tone and the few words she does say that she has seen some issue with what her daughter was told. I decided to listen in and after the daughter finished her babbling, the mother came up to me. Now, as I said, people coming up to me is super common. I thought nothing much of it, however, the first words out of her mouth were, "Why did you tell my daughter you're blind?" Her tone was very harsh, very accusatory. I immediately knew what was coming, but as usual, I put on a smile, "Me. Because I am blind. Your daughter asked me about my dog, so I explained what guide dogs are and why we use them." "You're not blind!" Excuse me? The straight shooting words caught me off guard, "Karen, you're not blind. My cousin is blind, so I know what a blind person is like. You shouldn't lie about that." And I think you should let my daughter pet the dog. She likes dogs. It's pretty crappy to refuse a child something like that. My hackles rose slightly. Me. Well, ma'am, not all blind people are the same. Just because you know a single blind person doesn't mean you know how all blind people are. And as I already explained, your daughter can't pet my dog due to him being a seeing eye dog. "Karen, why are you lying? Your eyes are completely fine. You're using a phone. Don't say you're blind if you're going to show you're not at the same time. Why would you lie about this?" Me. Excuse me, but I am not lying. My eyes looking fine have nothing to do with anything. Not every blind person's eyes look the same. "Look, you're stressing me out. I'd rather you just left me alone." "Karen, my daughter wants to pet your dog. She's been well behaved all throughout today, and it's more than reasonable to let her pet the dog." Me. "No. I don't know why you can't just accept my answer. You said no using that BS excuse. You're honestly starting to tick me off. I don't know who you think you are, but I happen to work for. I can't actually remember what she said. And if you don't stop it, I'll get security that throw you and your fake guide dog out of here." Now, I'm sure you get the picture. This went on for a good five minutes of her getting progressively more and more angry at the fact I wouldn't let her daughter pet my dog. The daughter was actually silent throughout the whole thing. I don't really think she even cared that much. The entitled mom, however, was another story. Eventually, she screamed out, "That's it. I'm going to get security. If you're smart, you'll be gone by the time I get back, or you'll regret it." I snorted at her small fit and heard her huff and storm off. By that time, my food had arrived, so I started eating. I didn't really believe she'd go to get security, but with entitled parents, you cannot be sure. About five or so minutes went by of me eating. I was enjoying my fries, browsing Reddit and bliss, but of course, she returned. I heard her stupid stomping from like 15 feet away. "We all have somewhere we're trying to get to.

She's sitting there with a dog. She says it's a guide dog, but she's not blind. You have to kick her out. Dogs aren't allowed. I sighed and removed an earbud to prepare for the incoming ordeal. A deep male voice sounded from a few feet in front of me. He sounded rather harassed. Security guard one. Uh, Miss? Is this a service dog? Yes, it is. He's a saying eye dog. I'm allowed to take him in here. I have a copy of the appropriate law if you need it. Security guard. No, that's fine. I know service dogs are allowed. This woman is saying you aren't disabled though. Is that true? Me. No. She's just angry I didn't let her daughter touch my dog. I honestly don't know why she cares. Because you're a liar. I told you. I have a blind cousin. Don't try to tell me I don't understand blind people because I do. Me. I directed my attention to the security guard. I've tried to explain to her that one blind person doesn't represent all blind people, but she doesn't seem to get it. Could you please ask her to leave me alone? I just want to eat in peace. Security guard. So, you are blind. Me. Yes, I am. Security guard. Can you prove it in any way? Me. Uh, no. How could I do that? And why? Security guard. Well, it's just that she's saying one thing and you're saying another thing. I don't exactly know who to believe. But yeah, I see how proving your blind doesn't really work. He spoke to the woman. Why is it exactly that you think she's lying? Entitled Mom. Are you serious? Are you thick? Look at her eyes. They're not white or cloudy like blind people's are. She's literally looking at a phone. Security guard spoke to me. Uh, what's your response? Me. Ah, maybe her cousin has those eye symptoms, but not every blind person does. Those symptoms are caused by diseases like cataracts, which I don't have. As for the phone, devices have been accessible to the blind for years. I find it surprising she has a cousin who is blind and doesn't know that. No, I saw you look at the phone. You were looking at it. Me. I have basic light perception. I can detect light. I direct my eyes to it out of habit because that's where my hands are occupied. Look, it's not my job to educate you on what you don't know. I spoke to the guard. Please, please, just ask her to leave me alone. I don't care if she doesn't believe me. You don't need to stand here and mediate a back and forth as if we're going to agree. I just like her to stop talking to me and leave me in peace. I'm feeling extremely harassed. Security guard. Yeah, I get that. It's just that I can't know for sure if you're blind. Or she might have a valid point. Me. What? That applies to every blind person. How can anyone prove that? If she has no reasons for me lying, then shouldn't you give me the benefit of the doubt? Security guard. I don't know. She said her cousin is blind. She probably knows something about it. Me. I paused for a second. Wow. I'm not even going to bother. Look, if you're not going to get her away from me, then I'm just going to leave. Thanks for failing to protect a disabled patron. I stood up to leave, my dog getting up to guide me. I took a few steps and suddenly felt someone grab hold of my harness handle tightly and pulled me to a stop. Karen. Wait. I said I wanted you to let my daughter pet the dog. Then you can leave. Me. No. Get off my harness. Get off. Now, understand, grabbing my harness has akin to someone taking away your eyes. She was impeding my means of navigating, so I panicked. This has only happened to me once before, and I panicked then too. I attempted to pull my harness handle back all the while screaming. Get off. Let go. Help. And her screaming in my ear about. Actually, I wasn't exactly listening as I was too busy screaming. But I assume it had to do something with her daughter. The security guard was fumbling around fairly uselessly. Eventually, another security guard hurried over. I heard him bark out. Security guard too. What's going on? Me. She's taking my guide dog. Help me. She won't let go. No. She's supposed to let my daughter pet her dog. He said so. I assume she pointed to the guard. The guard didn't respond, but the way the conversation went, it seemed like he non-verbally indicated that he hadn't said that. Security guard too. Miss, let go of the lady's dog right now, or I'll escort you out. No. She's not blind. The dog isn't real. Don't just jump in and assume you know what's going on. Me. I had calmed slightly, so I could speak in a more coherent manner. Please just get her off of me. I want to leave. I don't feel safe. Let me leave. Security guard too. Hey, you're all right, Miss. Everything's gonna be fine. I then felt the woman's hand being forcibly removed from the harness handle. As soon as I was free, I immediately commanded Gumbo to lead me to the exit. We walked quickly. I heard the woman screeching loudly behind me, the man shouting, "Calm down. Just stop screaming." I was still somewhat panicked, but I was able to calm myself down as I hurried towards the exit. It was so chaotic, I very nearly forgot my shopping where I left at customer services, because I didn't want to have it around me in the food court where it could be snatched. I left, called a taxi and came home. It has really stuck with me for the last couple days, but the worst part is that these types of interactions are in almost daily occurrence. Blind people are the targets of constant harassment in public. This woman just went farther by physically assaulting me. I know I could have and should have gotten her arrested, but honestly, I was just so panicked I wanted out of the situation ASAP. So why am I telling this story? And sure, spreading awareness. It's important for people to know more about the blind experience and what blind people have to deal with. It's also super important to say, "If you're ever a witness to a situation like I just described, intervene. Had that second guard not intervened for me, the situation would have been a lot worse. So I'd appreciate any upvotes on this post to help spread more awareness." And I didn't even get to finish my fries. Edit. Wow, I posted this, went to bed and woke up with 3,500 upvotes, nuts. Thanks so much for making this story reach so many people and helping more people understand the blind experience, internet cookies for all of you. Am I the jerk for taking away my daughter's Thanksgiving present because she refused to eat what my wife cooked? I'm in my 40s. I'm a father of two kids, a son who's 14 and a daughter who's 16. I recently got married to my wife, Molly, who is a great cook and she's been cooking for me and the kids for the past few months. However, my daughter doesn't like all the meals Molly cooks and sometimes cooks her own dinners. Molly, as a result, would get hurt, thinking her food isn't good enough. She can find in me about how much it bothers her to see my daughter decline her food and cook by herself. I've talked to my daughter to address the issue and she said she appreciates Molly's cooking, but naturally cannot be expected to eat everything she cooks. I asked her to be more considerate and try to take a few bites here and there whenever Molly cooks to avoid conflict since she's very sensitive. My daughter just nodded and I thought that was the end of it. Last night I got home from a dinner meeting with a few co-workers and found Molly arguing with my daughter. I asked what's going on and Molly told me my daughter said no to dinner she cooked and went into the kitchen to prepare her own dinner as if Molly's food was less than. I asked my daughter to come out of the kitchen and please sit at the table and eat at least some of her stepmom's cooking but she refused saying she's old enough not to eat food she doesn't like and pretend to like it just because I wanted her to.

I told her she was acting rude and had her turn the oven off and told her no cooking for her tonight and asked her to go to her room to think about this encounter then come back to talk. But she started arguing. That is when I punished her by taking away her Thanksgiving gift that her mom left with me. We both paid for it and she started crying saying it was too much and that she didn't understand why she was being punished again. I asked her to go to her room to cool off but she called my in-laws her aunt and uncle who picked a huge argument with me over the phone saying my daughter is old enough to cook her own meals and my wife should get over herself and stop picking on my daughter. When Molly explained she just wants to make sure my daughter eats well and that she cares otherwise it wouldn't hurt so bad. My in-laws told me to back out of the punishment but in my opinion this was more than an issue about dinner and I refused to let them intervene and hung up. My daughter has been completely silent and refuses to come downstairs. To clarify the gift which is an iPhone was supposed to be for my daughter's birthday two months ago but due to circumstances we couldn't celebrate nor have time to get her a gift so her mom wanted her to have it on Thanksgiving. You're the jerk. If she is cooking her own food she likes better, who cares? Your new wife sounds like a control freak. It's about more than dinner. You brought a new wife into the house and suddenly she gets to control what your nearly adult daughter eats? It would be different if your daughter demanded fast food but if she's cooking for herself you and your wife need to get over yourselves. You're the jerk as that gift was not only from you but her mother as well. Why is it such a big deal that she eat everything your wife cooks? Sounds like something else is going on here. Is your daughter a kind, thoughtful person to her stepmom? Is your wife a kind and thoughtful person to your daughter? Am I the jerk for letting my daughter bring a different toy? I, 28 female, have a daughter who just turned 6 and has just gone to her very first birthday party. The party was one of those "theme" parties, Barbie themed, and so all the girls were told to bring their favorite Barbie doll with them and they'd do a bunch of activities with the dolls. It was a really cute idea. My daughter, however, is still struggling a lot with motor skills at her age. We're working with a doctor and has trouble with smaller toys. She does have Barbies but gets incredibly frustrated playing with them because she can't hold them properly. Knowing this, I tried calling the parents a day or two before but they didn't pick up at all. The day of, and they still didn't respond, so I grabbed my daughter's bigger doll and a Barbie just in case and we headed out. I also grabbed some items from the activities that were sized a bit more properly so she could still participate. The second we got to the backyard where the party was, the birthday girl's mom pulled me aside and asked me what I was doing without a Barbie. I explained my side and how she never picked up the phone. She said I was being incredibly inappropriate and that I had ruined the party by bringing a toy off brand. We ended up staying throughout the party despite this and there were no issues. A few kids did ask why my daughter had a different doll but my daughter had no trouble explaining that she just couldn't hold small things well and nobody really cared too much. Everyone had a good time and my daughter got to participate in most of the activities and the ones her doll couldn't fit, like the hairstyling game. Her doll's head was too big for the accessories, she helped another girl who were watched. Later after I got home, I ended up with multiple messages from the birthday girl's mother telling me I was no longer invited to any other event she'd be hosting. Her daughter was sad she didn't get to have an all Barbie party, that we shouldn't have come and that it wasn't her problem my daughter was slow, etc. My husband was outraged having heard about all of this but I honestly feel like I should have just not come at all after reading what she had to say. Not the jerk. This is about the mother's ego and having a picture perfect party. If the daughter is disappointed that one of her friends needed an accommodation for a disability and received one, then it's the mother's job to educate her daughter and help her to understand. What's her mother going to do the next time her daughter wants a birthday party at a laser tag or a water park and one of her daughter's friends has a wheelchair or uses crutches? No, sorry honey, you just need to crawl around on the floor because we just can't have someone being different here. I'm just here to play the drums. So I'm a musician. I was playing a gig at a bar, it's a casual bar in the city so I was dressed to look good but I wasn't wearing a tie or anything, it's casual. A friend of mine showed up and during the set break we both went outside to smoke and were standing to the side of the entrance. We're hanging out, chatting and then this group shows up and I make eye contact with the woman leading them. She's walking towards me and pulls her wallet out, then hands me her ID. My friend and I glanced at each other and back to her. I don't know about this miss, this looks like a fake to me, she's completely dismayed. No, I swear it's real, it's just a really old picture and I wasn't having a good day that day, takes the heaviest side. I swear it's real. My friend and I glanced back at each other. We give each other a nod in agreement so I turned back to her while all her friends are uncertain if their night's plans are about to change. I'm just here to play drums but thanks for sharing this with me. I read her name on the ID. Jane Smith, then I proceed to give her the ID. She asked, "So, can I go in?" "Yeah, sure. Why would I care?" "Are you not the door man?" "Nah, I'm just here to play those drums over there." I point inside. I'm playing a gig here tonight, I'm just on a break. Her friends lost it. She realized what just happened, started apologizing and I told her it was totally fine and that I had a good laugh out of it. They all hung out for their music and tipped the band graciously. After the gig, we had another good laugh and win our separate ways. Huge, shout out to our newest official channel member, Jay Weaver.
