Am I wrong for threatening my autistic neighbor after he desecrated my household appliance?

About two weeks ago, I had a get together with friends that ended up getting a bit raucous. We all need to blow off steam as we work in a stressful field. My neighbor, who's an acquaintance, ended up latching onto the party, which I had no issue with, especially considering that he doesn't seem to have many friends. There were seven guests total, and around midnight after a large amount of alcohol had been consumed, my two best pals and I were sitting around the fire pits. I started to notice the other five people were getting particularly loud inside.

I didn't know why, I assumed they were drunk and having a good time. That's when it happened. A ferocious shouting that could not be ignored. Then one of my friends who was inside ran out to get me. He's peeing on your effing microwave! I could hardly register what was being said at first. I followed my friend inside where I saw my neighbor attempting to zip up his pants in his delirious state.

Smoke was indeed coming off the microwave and it was visibly dripping wet. My friends were just standing around in shock. I grabbed my neighbor and tried to get him to look at me, but he wasn't exactly present, just smirking which pissed me off greatly. I yelled at him and pushed him out of my house. He must have fallen asleep on my lawn. Some of my pals stuck around to help with the clean-up job before leaving. I was so exhausted and out of it that I fell asleep on the couch shortly thereafter. I am awoken by a knock at the door at 8am or so. That neighbor is now at my door, pleading not to tell his family about the incident.

I had gone to bed so late that I felt hungover and angry to even be awake. I snapped. I ranted about how I would destroy his life and I wouldn't rest until he lost his job, wife, and kids. I didn't really mean these things and I was excessively harsh. He began blubbering, punching walls, and wailing. It was at this point that it dawned on me that he must have some kind of disability. It had been a passing thought before, but it wasn't something that I had really

registered. He ran away in this distressed state and I suddenly felt bad for losing my cool on him. Am I wrong for treating a disabled person this way even after what he did? Well okay, he's disabled, but there can be nice disabled people and also butthole disabled people, right? Sounds to me like this guy is on the butthole spectrum. I mean, at the very least, the guy could promise to get you a new microwave, right? He didn't even do that. Our next Reddit post is from Organic Ratio. Am I wrong for telling my dad that he got what he deserved and what he wanted?

I'm a 17-year-old girl and my mom is 42. Five years ago, she was diagnosed with stage 3 breast cancer. It was a hard time and my mom fought like hell to beat it and she did, thankfully. However, after multiple surgeries and a couple of months after starting chemo, my mom was getting really sick and had started to lose her hair. It was the sickest I had ever seen my mom. Around the same time, my dad, who's 44, served her with divorce papers in front of me and my two younger siblings, who were all kids at the time. We were all confused and crying, and the only thing my dad kept saying was,

I didn't sign up for this. I don't want this. He moved out of our home almost immediately and rarely even contacted his kids for two years. During those two years though, my mom beat breast cancer and was in remission. While her health was looking up, all the stuff that was happening with my dad kept getting dragged on as he really didn't want to be in mine or my siblings lives. And ultimately, the courts had to mandate him to be in our lives. Fast forward to a year later, my mom meets Stephanie, her now partner and my stepmother.

For the last couple of years, my parents have shared custody of my siblings and I and we usually go to my dad's every other weekend. But recently, in the past few weeks, I've been opting out on going, especially this past weekend as I didn't want to spend a three-day weekend with him. Stephanie came to me, my brother and my sister and asked us for our mom's hand in marriage. We were all so happy and excited because Stephanie brought so much love and happiness to our mom. And we love Steph like she's another mom to us, so of course we said yes.

So my brother and sister were at my dad's this past weekend. I'm not sure how the conversation transpired, but all I know is that my sister said something along the lines of, I hope Stephanie doesn't propose to mom without us there, to my brother. That was enough to send my dad into a rage, making him call me and go on a complete rampage about how he's all alone and he doesn't have his family. And how could my mom and Steph think this was okay without discussing it with him first? I simply said, this is what you wanted.

You divorced her. You got what you wanted and deserved. Then I just hung up. Since Sunday, my dad's been calling and texting me saying that I'm a disrespectful little turd for saying that to him and that he's still my father regardless. Am I in the wrong? You know, it's funny that this guy says, I didn't sign up for this when that is literally part of the wedding vows in sickness and in health. This is the in sickness part. So he

did sign up for it. He's just a whiny loser. OP, your dad is bitter, miserable, and just an all-around bad person. I don't blame you for trying to avoid him as much as possible. Am I wrong for not assisting my friend who ghosted me until I became rich and successful? I'm a 30-year-old guy, and I met my former best friend, a 31-year-old woman, when she was 14. We were best friends in high school and went to college together. I had other friends, but she was the closest. I knew her family and we helped each other.

We each had anxiety and mental health struggles and supported each other. She's always had a mind for business ownership, even when we were young. She sold things and made good money in high school and in college. We went to college together for the same degree. When I was 21, out of the blue, she just stopped talking to me. I don't know the reason. She did start dating this guy, but that's the only change. I'd call and text and she wouldn't respond. I'd see her at school and she'd give me friendly small talk. Eventually, she moved states away with her boyfriend. It hurt really bad for years. For like a solid five years, I was in agony every day wondering what went wrong. I remember three

years after that, I thought that I was over it. But I had to pull over and cry because I achieved something and I couldn't tell my best friend about it. I tried to contact her sporadically for years with no answer. I mourned the death of that friendship, but eventually came around. I can now look back and see that we had good times, and she was there when I needed her most in my developmental years, and that how it ended doesn't ruin the past. In the last three years, I've been really successful. She's doing well in her business ownership as well. I don't want to brag, but she's not doing nearly as well as me.

I wish her the best and I'm proud of her. She's making enough to work for herself and that's success. We still follow each other on social media, so I see how she's doing from time to time. I, however, have been on fire the last three years and I'm doing well as a business owner and public figure. I have lots of followers, a podcast, and people ask me to come on their podcast. I make enough to employ lots of people and I pay them generously. A year or so ago, she started liking my posts.

Then she started commenting on them and I was friendly to her. I would like her comments and say thanks and call her some old nickname I used to call her. I wasn't upset about this. If this had been years ago, I'd probably feel a certain way, but I'm just beyond that right now. However, now she's DMing me and trying to talk business and using old inside jokes like we're best friends again. If she had approached me with friendship, I'd be down to talk, but she just brings

up business too often and I know her intentions. I've been ignoring her. She messaged me that I'm being mean for reading her messages but not responding. She was like, now that you're rich, you can't talk to me? What? That's literally the exact same thing that she did to you. When she was successful, she didn't talk to you and now she's bitter about it? Am I wrong for not letting it go when another parent got physical with my child at a school

event? I was watching my 10 year old play in a bouncy house like structure at a highly populated school event. The structure was actually an obstacle course, something meant for kids to run through. But all the kids were congregated and bouncing in the middle with their parents looking on nearby. I saw a woman getting verbally aggressive, screaming to stop and to get out, but I assumed that she was addressing her own child. Then she lunged over the side of

the bouncy house at my child slapping and grabbing his leg, which was the only part of my child that she could reach due to the height of the bounce structure. She didn't realize that I was behind her. It was such a violation of social norms that I never saw it coming. I was in shock. After she was unsuccessful in dragging him out of the structure from the side, she charged around to the entrance as if she were going to go in after him that way. My kid was crying so I pulled him out with me. She came up to me yelling about how he was jumping around and I told her that if she has a problem, she needs to speak with me and not treat him that way because he's just a child. I saw exactly what he was doing. He wasn't a danger

to anyone, just bouncing around in the middle like the other kids. She said, whatever and turned back to the bounce area. I immediately went looking for the principal to report what I considered extremely inappropriate behavior. I would never do what that woman did to my own kid, much less anyone else's. Well, I saw that she beat me to the principal, so I waited for her to leave to avoid escalating further with her. The principal was blank-faced as she said, Sorry that happened, and discouraged me from notifying the police. She told me that this woman sometimes volunteers, is a member of the PTA and occasionally a

substitute, but at this function she was just a parent and didn't say anything else. She said that as if I should be comforted, but all I heard was all the different ways that she might cross my kid's path again. I couldn't do much else right then, except for remove us from the situation and head home. Still, it just didn't sit right with me. So I did call the non-emergency police line and was referred to the school police. I met with them today and will follow up to see if anything more has happened.

I also spoke with a school safety officer who dropped such gems as, I'm sure she wasn't attacking your child out of the blue, what does that even mean? And everyone has a breaking point. And she probably wasn't getting paid for that. But it still wouldn't be okay even if she was on the payroll. I understand that sometimes kids do things that are upsetting, and it's possible that he somehow upset her. In my eyes, this still doesn't justify what happened to him.

It is a reasonable expectation for my child to be safe from intimidation and physical threat at school, and he shouldn't have to be flawless to have that. Again, this seems like a no-brainer. Am I wrong for thinking this is a big deal? Then down in the comments, we have this story from Gibson Blue Guy. Years ago, my oldest was being bullied at school. When he was stuck by a pin by his bully, I went to the principal and demanded that she do something.

She told me that I was reverse bullying the perpetrator and that she would do nothing. I told her that if anything else happened, I'd be reporting it to the cops and hold her legally accountable. The bully was transferred to another school days later. Look guys, violence is wrong. We shouldn't be violent with each other. However, there are some things you can do that immediately justify getting your ass beat and smacking someone else's child is top of the list.

Am I wrong for physically taking food away from a coworker who tried to take it all home after a party and not share it with anyone? I recently quit a job after four years. During my last two weeks, I trained the new hire, Amy. She's 60. I became very close with my coworkers at this job. There's nine employees and we all became like family. My boss surprised me by closing the place, inviting some of my family, and catering Panera

bread as a going away party. It was incredibly kind and I appreciate it. We had tons of salads, sandwiches, bagels, etc. My boss tried to get me to take all of it home. I said the only right thing to do is share it with everyone. A lot of the employees are low income. One of the employees is an 18-year-old kid who's struggling to pay his bills. I told everyone that my boss and I would package everyone up the leftovers. Amy then chimes in while we're at the dinner table saying, if not, my dog and I would sure love that food. I said I'd package her some up too. We clean the table and cut the cake. While we were sitting and talking about the

past four years working together, Amy just disappears. My one coworker and I went in and saw a bag filled with sandwiches, bagels, countless bowls of soup, etc. There were a few bagels left over on the counter. I then took all the food out of Amy's bag when she wasn't around and made 8 individual paper bags full of food, one for every employee excluding myself. Amy then walks back in and says, where did my bag go? And I said, Amy, everyone's getting an equal amount of food. I told you this already. She then says, well, the boss said that I could take the rest, which was a total lie. Our boss said that she never said that. We all leave to go into the main room. We sit for a while

and talk. Amy said that she was leaving, and I had a funny feeling what was going to happen next. I go into the back room and Amy was trying to leave with five of the brown paper bags I made. I then stopped her, ripped the bags away from her and she left. She never said another word. That was that. I walk back out to see everyone and I tell them what had just happened. My boss said, It's not really a big deal. It's just sandwiches. And I couldn't disagree more. We all do our fair share of work at this job. It was MY F***ING PARTY and I wanted all of my co-workers, whom I love, to get a share of the food. Amy knows that people here aren't made of

money. I know that she isn't doing too well financially, but stealing isn't a way to fix that. One co-worker is 18 and he was kicked out of his parents house for being gay. Another is a single mom with four kids. Another is 64 and needs this money to survive. And I'll be damned if they're gonna leave my party empty handed. Especially not by someone who's worked here for two weeks. Am I wrong? I mean, I ripped those effing bags out of her hands like my life depended on it. Nah, OP, you're completely justified. Also, I think your boss is being a little bit dumb for ignoring a really obvious red

flag here because this indicates to me that she's not going to be a very pleasant lady to work with. Am I wrong for talking to the police? I'm a 17 year old girl. My mom has always had anger issues. She's always hit my dad when she gets angry, but he usually brushes it off because he's a lot bigger than her and she's relatively small. My dad has never hit her. He's relatively laid back. My dad recently got surgery on his leg.

He has a lot of stitches in his leg right now. He's not supposed to move it and he's supposed to try to stay off it and let it rest. The other night, my mom got mad at him for some stupid reason. Dishes, I think. She started punching him in his leg while he was laying on the couch and tore his stitches. This was the only time I've heard him start screaming at her to stop. I ended up calling for an ambulance. A cop showed up afterwards. I told the cop what happened and they arrested

my mom. She's very mad with me and told me it was an accident and I should have stayed out of it. Then she told me that I hurt our family by talking to the cops. Am I wrong for talking to the cops? Hold on, wait a second. She got mad at your dad over dishes. Was he supposed to get up on his broken busted up leg and stand over the sink and do dishes? Is that really what she expected of him? OP, uh, your mom is a toxic piece of human trash. So I'm glad that you seem to be waking up to this because you need to create distance from you and your mom.
