My great aunt set up savings accounts for all of her female relatives. In our culture, education for women is not really valued, and she thought that was BS. She lived with her father in London while she was educated. She went on to attend university and became a doctor. She married a British man, they moved to America, and had a great life. She funded the education up as many of her nieces and grand nieces as she could. When she passed away, she left money for every girl relative that she could. My parents managed to access the accounts that were set up for my sister and I. They used

it to pay for my brother's wedding. My sister didn't care because she got married two years out of high school and had no intention of going to college. When I graduated, I went to the bank to get money for school, and it was almost all gone. There was like $13,000 left. I asked my parents about it, and they said they needed the money. When I finally found out where the money went, I became furious. I got student loans and moved out. I'm a great source of shame for them, but I don't give two apps about that. I'm currently suing them for the money that was left for me. My entire family is against me. They all think that I'm a complete bad guy for airing private family business in public

and that I'm putting money ahead of family. My friends are all on my side, but they're all American and don't really get my culture. Neither do I, to be honest. My brother called me up and offered to pay for my university if I drop the lawsuit. I agreed as long as we have a legally binding contract. He said that I was being a bad guy for not trusting him. I said that he shouldn't have accepted my money for his wedding. It's causing all kinds of embarrassment in our community. I'm somewhat ashamed of doing this, but I don't want to have this debt that I shouldn't have. Opie, are you the bad guy for suing people

who stole your money? Who stole your money? No, because it was stolen from you and they need to give it back. Oh, how dare you put money ahead of family? Well, that's what they did. They put their monetary interest ahead of you. What your family is doing is pretty bad, OP. They're trying to guilt you into basically letting them steal from you. Don't stand for it.

Don't drop the lawsuit. Get paid, girl. OP, I'm giving you zero out of five bad guys. I'm giving the rest of your family with the exception of the great aunts. I'm going to guess like three out of five bad guys. I'm giving the rest of your family, with the exception of the great aunts, I'm gonna guess like 3 out of 5 bad guys, it's kinda hard to say because we don't know how much money was left. Opie said 13k was left over, but I mean, you know, is that 13k remaining from 100k or is that 13k remaining from a million dollars? That would definitely affect the bad guys' course some.

I'm also giving your great aunts 0 out of 5 bad guys. She sounds like she was a remarkable woman. Am I the bad guy for not wanting to split expenses proportional to income? I live with my boyfriend in a flat that he owns, which is fully paid off because his father gave it to him. The whole building was built six years ago, and it's in a very popular area. I pay my boyfriend half the market rate rent, which we update every year by looking at how much the flats are being rented out for in the building complex. It's a lot of money, but I agree to it. Other than this, we split everything 50-50 in

the past. I got a new job with a significant pay increase, and now my boyfriend says that we should start splitting expenses proportional to income because that's fair. I told him I don't think it's fair that I should start paying for more just because I got a new job and nothing else has changed. I already pay him rent enough rent that would get me a same size flat a few streets away so it's more than fair to him. He made some in my opinion very weak arguments and accused me of ripping him off. That's when I told him that under no circumstances will split expenses proportional to income. Now that I've calmed down a bit, I'm worried whether I'm in the wrong. Especially since my best friend told me that this is how they do it with their

boyfriend too, and my boyfriend owning the flat is a relevant here. Am I the bad guy? The problem with this pose is that your boyfriend is being extremely unfair. If he wants to argue for proportional income, which honestly I think he has the right to argue for, it seems reasonable to me. The problem is that he's not including your rent to him as part of his income. And he's never done that even before you got the race. So it's super super clear to me that this isn't about fairness, this isn't about we should all pay proportionally to what we make. Plain and simple, this is just your boyfriend trying to profit off of you. Your boyfriend should see you as his girlfriend, not as his ATM, not as a customer, not as his

tenant. So your boyfriend is being super, super hypocritical OP, and I think this is a bit of a red flag to be honest. OP, you get 0 out of 5 bad guys. Your boyfriend gets 2 out of 5 bad guys. Ooh, I'm going to read this comment from Nickbeard Hader. He doesn't see OP as a girlfriend, but as a tenant that he can passionately hug for free. Yeah, I think that nails it, so to speak.

Am I the bad guy for reporting my classmate for joking that I have pretty privilege? I'm a 23 year old woman, and one of the only few female students in a male-dominated course. Furthermore, I met a highly prestigious university, and I haven't really gotten along with the guys on my course. They're all very competitive and I just don't really enjoy their company. Everything turns into a pissing contest and they definitely take me less seriously because I'm a woman.

I stopped interacting with them beyond the mere minimum and I choose to hang out with other people. Anyways, I did well in our recent exams. I got the top score in two out of four exams we've had so far. Our professor congratulated me during class. I wouldn't have advertised this myself. Ever since then, my interactions with a specific group of male classmates has gotten weird. They're now outright rude to me and challenge me aggressively in class discussions. We recently had some presentations and one of them chose to do theirs on to put it simply

pretty privilege. They specifically pointed to two papers that suggested that pretty female students get overscored in assessments. The other guys in the group snickered, and one even gave me a wink. Afterwards, I heard them in the hallway joking that they had experience with that themselves. I've been seeing a PhD student with an art department for a month. He has literally nothing to do with our course. Well, he and I ran into one of my course mates together. The next day in class, his friend asked me if my boyfriend helped me with my exams. He said this intentionally loudly and in front of the professor who heard this.

I replied that I don't have a boyfriend because he's not my boyfriend, but then the guy pointed out that he had run into me with the PhD student and made a point to say his name. I just replied that we're only friends. The guys didn't let up. I heard that they discussed this in two more classes within earshot of the professors. Both times, they suggested that I was getting help from my exams, but I wasn't even seeing him back then. I didn't confront them, but this has been causing me so much anxiety, even without the

exam accusations. I worked hard to get here, and I don't want to be known among the faculty for my dating life. I raised the issue with my supervisor without the intention of taking it any further, but I wanted her advice as a woman in academia. She convinced me to let her email their supervisors to remind them of proper conduct and describe their treatment of an unnamed female student. She didn't name me, but they figured it out. They confronted me after class and asked me why I would report their silly joke.

Apparently, their supervisors are now very cold to them and are less interested in helping. It's not a formal complaint, only their supervisors know, but one of the guys said that his supervisor writes the reports for his financial aid and scholarship, and it's my fault if he loses that. I now feel a bit embarrassed and this was compounded by a friend telling me that I took it too far because the guy could lose out on his scholarship. So, Reddit, am I the bad guy? Oh no, the poor little man is going to lose his scholarship and he won't be able to harass women at the college anymore. M-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m- Can you this behavior in the workforce? They're gonna get canned. Because that's sexual harassment and it will get the company they work for, sued.

So really, it's better they learn this lesson now in a lower stakes environment, then learn it later when they could get fired for it. You should report them OP and if they keep it up, do it again. I'm giving you zero out of five bad guys. I'm giving the dudes in this story, I guess, two out of five bad guys. I'm giving the dudes in this story, I guess, two out of five bad guys.

My husband thinks that I'm in the right, but my niece helped me make this post to see what other people think. I'm a 52 year old woman, and I have three sons between the ages of 13 and 20. My oldest son, who's 20, has a girlfriend who's 19 who hangs around our house a lot. We have a really small house, and we don't have a lot of space.

She's a nice girl, but she gets on my nerves sometimes because she's always over. I really don't think that she's right for my son either. Our tap water has a weird aftertaste, so I order gallon water bottles and use them to refill a big glass bowl with a tap. It is not cheap to get water and other groceries delivered, so I tell my sons, husband, and the girlfriend to be courteous of other people who live here and to not use the water. Because it runs out really fast in our big household. Yesterday, I caught her filling up her big metal water bottle with the jug water, and I calmly

told her that other people live here too, and she shouldn't hog the water all to herself. She was rather short with me and said something along the lines of, Actually, this water bottle is big enough to hold all the water someone should be drinking in a day. I'm not hogging water, I'm just trying to stay hydrated. I found her tone to be disrespectful and ordered her to leave. She scoffed and went back to my son's room. That's when I really got frustrated. I opened their door and told her she has to leave. My son got really angry with me and told me that his girlfriend didn't do anything wrong and why is it a crime for her to drink water?

I explained that I ordered this water for our family to use, not leeches who hang around all day rent free. My son's girlfriend got a little teary-eyed and she left the room and then went out the front door without saying anything. My son told me that I was a major bad guy and I should have just minded my business. I think she's just wasteful and a brat. Am I the bad guy?

Okay, so on the one hand, this is your house, this is your water, so if you wanna lay down some rules about who can drink water, then that's your prerogative. But this doesn't really seem like a reoccurring problem. This seems like a one-off incident, so I don't really understand why you got so uptight about it. And also, like, this is a big rule about the water. You need to tell her that. You need to clearly set boundaries, not be all passive aggressive and huffy about

it. And I don't know exactly what this story is about, but it is definitely not about water. It's really clear to me that you're using the water as an excuse to like vent at the girlfriend and take something out on her because you don't like her for whatever reason. So even though technically you're correct in that it's your house, it's your rules. Nonetheless, you're being the bad guy

because you're just being mean because you just don't like her for whatever reason. OP, I'm giving you one out of five bad guys the bad guy because you're just being mean because you just don't like her for whatever reason. OP I'm giving you one out of five bad guys for being just huffy for no good reason and whatever is going on between you and this girlfriend you need to figure this out because it looks like you're pushing your son away from you towards her. Also OP posted an update which is a bit long so I'm just going to abbreviate it. Basically everyone in the comments made OP realize that she had a chip on her shoulder

against the girlfriend, so she owned up, she apologized to her son, and she apologized to the girlfriend. Also, the girlfriend apologized for having an attitude, which in my opinion is justified because the mom was being disrespectful to her. So I guess all's well that ends well, but clearly, oh, Pistol has some work to do on herself. Am I the bad guy for packing my kid an inappropriate lunch? I'm a 34 year old woman, and I have a 5 year old son who attends preschool.

A few hours after I picked him up from school today, I got a phone call from his teacher. She made absolutely no effort to sound kind when she, in an extremely rude and annoyed tone, told me to stop packing my son such disgusting and inappropriate lunches. I felt absolutely appalled when she said this, as me and the teacher have, up until now, always maintained a very friendly relationship. She added that the lunches I'm packing my son are very distracting for the other students and have an unpleasant odor. Is this a racist post?

Is she just racist? Alright, let's find out. I told her that I understand her concerns as the lunches I pack are definitely not the healthiest, but the lunches are according to my son's preferences. The usual lunch I send him to school with is small celery sticks with blue cheese and goat cheese, kimchi and spam. We're Korean and he absolutely adores this dish, as well as spicy Doritos marinated in sriracha. I know I know, but he deserves a snack and I don't put that many

chips in the baggie. I ended the call by saying that I very much appreciated her worries, but that at the end of the day, I'm not going to drastically change my son's lunch as all of a sudden. It's very important to me what my son enjoys, and I want him to like my lunches. My teacher sent me an email an hour ago saying that my response was unacceptable and his lunches are just too inappropriate to be sent to school any longer. I haven't responded yet, and I don't want to. I want to maintain a healthy relationship with my son's teachers. I'm confused as to what to do.

Alright, let me ask you guys. Do you think this teacher has a problem with the celery sticks and blue cheese? Hmm. Or, does she have a problem with the kimchi and the sriracha? Let me think. let me think. Which of these two things does she think is inappropriate? I'm just gonna guess, throwing out a guess here. My guess is that it's the ethnic food.

Why? Because she's our racist, just a good old fashioned racist, telling kids that they can't eat their ethnic food. Also, for those who don't know, I know in China, spam is super, super popular in Chinese dishes. I don't know if that applies to Korea as well. I'm guessing, I'm kind of inferring from this post

that spam is also popular in Korea, but that would also mean that spam qualifies as a Korean cultural dish in this instance. Hopi, I think the way to handle this is to just CC whatever her boss is, the principal, the vice principal, whoever. Just reply and be like, um, could you please specify what exactly I'm not supposed to pack in his lunch?

Is it the celery and the blue cheese that you don't want me to give him? Or is it the kimchi and the sriracha that you don't want me to give him? Could you please write back to me an email with your boss CC'd so I know just for documentation purposes what you really mean here. Opie I'm giving you zero out of five bad guys. What your kid eats is between you and your kid. I'm giving the teacher two out of five bad guys for what is more than likely just racism.
