Learn more at canadaswunderland.com Welcome to our slash am I the butthole where OP gets his thieving co-worker arrested. Am I the butthole because I had someone arrested because they stole my chair? I got a new job in sales working for a company that sells access control systems, CCTV systems, etc. The chair in my cubicle was uncomfortable a.F.

So on day three, I brought in my own Herman Miller-Aaron chair. On day four, it was missing. I looked around and another sales rep was sitting in it. I asked for it back, but he basically told me to F off. I went and spoke to the owner of the company, and he told me the chairs aren't reserved. Their first come first served. I explained that I own the chair, and it cost me $1,800. He told me I need to come in earlier if I want that chair.

The next day, the same guy was sitting in it when I got to the office. I told him to give it back, or I was going to call it. the cops. He refused, so I called the cops. It was quite the scene, but in the end, he admitted that he took my $1,800 chair. I was prepared. I had the receipt which showed the serial number. Yes, Aaron chairs have serial numbers. The cops asked me if I wanted to press charges. My new boss said that I would be terminated if I had him arrested, so I said, absolutely, I want to press charges. My new boss fired me on the spot, so I carried my chair out with me as I was leaving. And yes, the cops arrested the dude who took my chair. He admitted to it.

The dude who took my chair has been in the industry for about 15 years, but he's going to lose his security license, which means he won't be able to work in the industry. He's going to lose his job, but I don't care. He shouldn't have stolen my chair. Am I the butthole for making this dude lose his job? Clearly not O.P. I mean, this is just basic theft. Also, the guy's a butthole. And you warned him, so you gave him every possible out. I'm giving you zero out of five buttholes. I'm giving your boss and the chair thief 1.5 out of five buttholes. Am I the butthole for telling my mom why she had kids? I'm a 17-year-old girl who's still in high school, and I live in an area where it's really hard to get a job. I don't have a car because there's no money for driving

school. Recently, my mom told me she's not going to buy food anymore because we're all grown and everyone has to buy their own food. This started after she asked my brother, who's 19, who works, and also gets to use her car to get to work to give her $100 to buy food since we rely on Snap and the government shut down. He refused, so she decided she's not buying food for anyone and that everyone has to fend for themselves. I completely lost it when she told me this and said, you even have kids? Why have kids if you're poor and just end up regretting them? She always talks about how we ruined her life, so I just snapped. I asked why, at 17, broke and having to take care of her own family, she decided to have kids anyway. Kids that she trauma dumps on every chance

she gets. She always lets my brother have his way and then gets mad at the rest of us. In the heat of the argument, I also told her that if she really didn't want us, she should have just aborted us or never had us in the first place. I said if she really wanted to punish someone, it should be my brother, since he's the one who refused to help in the first place. She went on to say, I should have. You guys are grown. I already raised you. I already raised you. I know what I said was rude and disrespectful, but it's just so hard not to be when I'm this angry and hurt. Almost every single comment is telling O.P. to call child protective services, and she should. Not feeding a kid is illegal. OP, you get zero out of five buttholes. I'm giving your clearly abusive mom 4.5 out of five

buttholes. Am I the butthole for how I responded to my ex and his affair partner about her infertility? My ex-husband, who's 40, cheated on me with a coworker who's 36. I found out about the affair three years after it started. At the time, my husband and I had three very young children together. I kicked him out and filed for divorce. He moved in with his affair partner. They fought for full and primary custody of the children in the divorce, using the two-parent household as an excuse. They lost. Custody is shared and parenting time is 50-50.

He married her before the ink was dry on our divorce papers. Things were, and on my end, still are, very hostile. She didn't like that I wished for my ex to cheat on her the way he did with me. He didn't like that I told his family I tested for STDs after learning of his affair. The only reason I told his family is because they wanted to know why I couldn't be friends for the kids' sake. I told them the reason was because, before the affair partner, there was another coworker I now suspect he also screwed, or wanted to at least. And because of these two things, I wanted to be sure that he didn't give me anything. My ex told me that it was petty and gross when he had one affair only, and it was only with one woman for three years.

My ex and I use a co-parenting app for communication, and I ignore calls and texts. The times that things get tricky is face to face. I need to keep up some kind of civility if my kids might see us together, which is more difficult than some would believe. But I love my kids more than I hate him. Our kids are all school age now and doing okay. They prefer my house and have a hard time being at their dad's house some weeks. I have them seeing a therapist to help them process, but I know none of this is ideal.

My ex and his affair partner were warned about pressuring the kids to call her mom or mama something, which they were doing for a while, and this was backed up by the therapist. The kids don't like the affair partner, and I celebrate that in my head every single day. You will never hear me say, I'm sad, they don't feel like they have two moms when she's supposed to be their second mom. I find her disgusting to think that she can knowingly help destroy their parents' marriage and then try to make them hers. I don't share any of these feelings with my kids, but the kids know there are issues between mom and dad. They also have some understanding that their dad cheated. This was not something I told them.

My ex badly explained the situation to them. My ex doesn't believe in therapy, so there was no professional backup to help him. So, anyways, around Halloween, my ex and the affair partner approached me at the school's Halloween event. My ex told me we needed to speak, and I told them, unless it was about the kids, we didn't. not. In a quieter moment, they caught me alone, and they told me that the affair partner is infertile and cannot have biological children, and they've been trying for years. They told me it would mean so much if I would let go of my hate for them, and be more kind to her, and be more encouraging to her and the kids bonding, so that she doesn't feel like an outsider forever. He told

me that her infertility was painful, and she loves our kids, and I've successfully stopped them bonding with her. They said that as someone who's wanted to be a mom and got to be a mom, I should be compassionate. I asked them why they were telling me their own personal private business, which has nothing to do with me. My ex went from calm and pleading to pissed in seconds. He told me that was a disgusting reaction, and at the very least, I could have offered her my sympathies as my fellow co-parent and our kid's third parent. I walked away because I didn't want to discuss it or argue in case someone, especially our kids, heard. He then texted me several times that night asking where I get my disgusting insensitivity from. He also tried to bring it up at a meeting

the two of us had with the school over one of our children, who was not present. I'm ignoring him, but he's enraged, and I had to send the text over to my attorney for documentation. I expected this to have blown over by now, but clearly it hasn't. For that reason alone, I wanted to check what other people thought of my response. Am I the butthole? Oh, and I'm sure that if O.P. couldn't conceive anymore, they'd be weeping bitter tears of sadness. Oh, poor Opie, we feel so sad for you. Yeah, right. The dude has a sidepiece for three years and we're supposed to feel sympathy for either one of them. Give me a break. O.P., you get zero out of five buttholes. I'm giving them three point five out of five buttholes. Am I the butthole for connecting to the earpot after my

knee swallowed it to see if it would play in her stomach? When my three-year-old niece swallowed my sister's left AirPod, everyone started worrying right away. I was trying to lighten the situation, so I connected the AirPods to my phone and put my ear on her stomach to check if I could hear it. Surprisingly, I actually did hear a little sound coming from insider, which made the moment a bit funny to me. But the people around us didn't really find it amusing. They all looked at me like I wasn't taking things seriously at all. I was just trying to calm the mood. But instead, I ended up being the only one laughing while everyone else was still stressing out about the air pod inside of her. O.P, this is your niece, which means you're an uncle. This is the most uncle behavior I've ever heard of.

As long as the niece wasn't hurt, I mean, I can understand the parents being frustrated, but I think you're the clear OP. I'm giving you zero out of five buttholes. You're just being a fun uncle. Am I the butthole for telling my ex's wife that her kids aren't my problem? I'm a 40-year-old woman and my ex-Paul is 43. We were together for 10 years, but we've been divorced for five years. We have three kids, a 12-year-old boy, a 9-year-old girl, and 7-year-old boy. The reason we divorced is typical. I realized one day that not only was I working full-time, but I was also doing all the cooking, cleaning, household, and kid management, while he just worked and sometimes did yard work. I communicated this, he said he'd work on it, never did, wouldn't do therapy, so I divorced him

because I'd rather have three kids than four. He didn't fight me on custody, and he paid a lot in child supports. A few months after we split, he announced that he was engaged to and expecting a baby with Tanya, a 27-year-old woman. Yeah, I got STD tested just in case, by the way. Tanya was an exotic dancer and currently doesn't work. They had another kid, and she has a kid that's like eight. My kids do not like being at their father's house. I only ever speak positively about him to them, but they dislike Tanya and her son. I planned on staying single, but a year after the divorce, my old friend Bruce moved back

to our city and we reconnected his friends. It evolved and were now married. He loves my kids and they adore him. Our house is quite happy. After my ex had their second kid, they sued me for 50-50 custody. I knew that it was only so they could pay less in child support, not because Paul suddenly wanted to be a good dad, and I had evidence against them for a few things.

He lost custody and now has unsupervised visitation, and his child support went up. A few months later, I got a huge promotion and now make quite a bit more than him. But unless he goes back to court, they won't change the amount he owes. It's not my responsibility to do that. Plus, in our state, you can only ask for a recalculation every two years, so they can't for another year anyways. Tanya's been trying to talk to me for months, and finally cornered me at my oldest son's game. She says they're struggling, and she knows we don't need the child support, and asked me to please consider her kids.

I simply told her that their child support wasn't for me, it was for the kids from their father, and her kids were not my problem. I know, it was mean, but she wouldn't leave me alone. But now I'm wondering if I should have kept ignoring her because I've always tried to at least be civil towards them for my kids' sake. Down in the comments, we have this comment from DeKaff Made Me Do It. I'm assuming he knew how much his child support obligation was before he knocked up Tanya?

And Opie replies, that's the million dollar question right there. Opie, you get zero out of five buttholes. Your ex and the ex is baby mama, get two out of five buttholes.
