I Took My Friends Hamilton Tickets And Went Without Her Due To Her Running Late AGAIN! | r/AITAH

Hey Waffle Gang, I do hope you're well.

My name is Mark and today we're checking out some more Reddit stories and if you do love

a Reddit story, why not consider, hit that like subscribe, maybe that notification bell

too.

And let's crack on with today's first story.

Much love guys, now today's first story comes from the Am I the Arsoul subreddit?

And it says Am I the Arsoul here for seeing Hamilton without my friend because she was

late.

A little backstory, my friend Lisa is always late and I would understand if she had a

busy job, kids or even pets, but she doesn't.

She's usually late because she's texting, watching TV, taking her time to get ready

or something else non-important.

A few months ago she was over an hour late to meet me for lunch because she saw that

some store was having a sale and just had to look around.

The other week she scored tickets to see Hamilton.

It's been sold out in my town for a while, I really wanted to see it but figured it was

impossible.

When she invited me I was over the moon, we had to leave by 5 in order to get to the theater

on time, 6 at the very latest.

She was going to drive there but I had to drive to her place, the place started at 7.

Since I know how she is I went to her place at 4, she was taking a nap on the couch.

She got up when I was there and began shuffling around.

She went to the kitchen and began making herself some food.

I told her, hey, why didn't you get dressed, I'll watch your meal.

She told me not to worry we had plenty of time.

She began eating around 4.15 and finished around 4.40.

The whole time looking up things on her phone, I kept pushing her to hurry up because we

should leave soon.

She laughed and said, okay.

I figured if we left by 5.15 things would be fine.

5 however, I went to her bathroom to check on her, but I didn't see her.

She was in a room, painting her nails.

I told her we didn't have time.

She said, oh sure we do, plays never start on time.

She also told me, besides I have to stop for gas first and drop something off to my mum's

place before going to the play.

I wanted to cry.

I was going to miss Hamilton because of her.

Then I noticed the tickets on the fridge, I grabbed mine and headed to the theater.

It was a 40 minute drive with traffic, but I made it with 20 minutes to spare.

When I arrived to the theater she texted me, ready, I can't find you.

She thought I was still at her house.

I explained that I didn't want to be late for the play and that I would see her soon.

The first half was amazing, I was having a blast.

Lisa arrived right before the second half.

She was upset with me because I loved her.

She said they were her tickets and I should have waited for her, but she arrived over an

hour late.

I the asshole here for seeing the play without her.

Edit.

I told her by text that I was taking the ticket, but she didn't read it.

Edit too, she won the ticket.

Edit 3 has a thank you I made her dinner.

She loves my cooking and requested that after I offered to give her some money for the

tickets, even though they were free to her.

And well, thanks for the silver and gold.

I know I was a jerk for just taking the tickets, but I also know she would have made us

late.

Before the original show a few years back in New York, so I think she wasn't pressed

for time.

Now, this is a not the asshole to me and my anxiety was through the roof as I was reading

that.

She invited you knowing that you were desperate to see it and then she's like, wonder

it.

Like you said, shuffling around, casually painting her nails when you're begging her

to leave.

Knowing that's going to take you a long time to get there.

And even though theatre shows that I've been to sometimes do run 10-15 minutes late,

when you imagine being that person who comes in late and has to shuffle to their seat,

getting everyone up, oh no thank you.

I know it happens accidentally sometimes, but bloody hell.

But in the end in this one, she wasn't respecting your time.

You showed up an hour early, gave all the warnings like you said, text her that you

was leaving.

And I think you absolutely made the right call.

And you didn't throw away your shot.

I had to get that in.

All about a bird says not the asshole.

I've anxiety just reading about your friend dawdling around and making you late.

She sounds like someone who deliberately waited other people's time to make everything

about her.

Sure, they were her tickets, but there was no added benefit to you both missing the

first half.

Hope he says, I wanted to cry when I saw her sleeping.

No car left behind says not the asshole.

I've ended friendships with people who are always late.

At a friend who was angry with a group of us for not waiting for her to order and eat

to the restaurant because she was only an hour late.

Being late all the time is extremely disrespectful.

Like their time is more valuable than yours.

And it's Hamilton.

You shouldn't have to wait for it.

Sorry, I'll show myself out.

Hope he says lol, it was an amazing show.

She watched the second half, but kept using her phone.

She was group texting our friends about what I did to her.

Another commenter says, wow, texting through a show.

She should have gotten thrown out.

She keeps becoming more and more of an asshole by the second.

Hope he says she was told to put the phone away.

Commenter says not the asshole, I'm a last minute Lucy too, but you better believe

I left my house two hours early for Hamilton.

I was going into New York City and you never know what the traffic situation will be and

I knew it was sold out so there would be a lot of people at the theatre.

We did that not being early, so we just had a coffee at a restaurant nearby until the

theatre started letting people in.

So worth it, Lisa is crazy.

Hope he says, that was the original plan.

Get there an hour ahead, grab food, or surprise she cooked the meal while I was there and

take pictures.

The OP diggers a brief update on the back of that one saying, today I decided to reach

out to her.

I called her in as soon as she answered, she started yelling at me.

I waited for her to stop and then I told her that I apologise for the incident and that

I would love to meet up with her or that she could come over to my home.

She then remarked that she didn't want to see me or my family.

She referred to my middle child, my child that classes her as auntie and loves her, as

autism as the R word and told me to never contact her again.

What the hell was that reaction?

This seemed Lisa just showed you who she really is right then.

Using a slur against your autistic child is fucking madness.

So not only was this woman happy to waste your time for years by the sounds of it, she's

also cruel enough to say that about one of your children in an argument because of her

own lateness, that was caused by her.

What an absolute asshole.

And I hope in some ways I know it's not my life, but if anyone like that ever came back

into my life after what they said, I'd never be able to forgive them again.

Block that person's number, enjoy the memory of that show and never look back because

that show is incredible.

I want to see it again, it's absolutely amazing.

But now I'm going to turn the situation to you guys.

What do you guys think of this one?

I know it's difficult because sometimes you have to be in the room when it happens, but

let us know your thoughts down in the comments below and let's move on to another story.

I'll get my coat.

Our next story comes from Scene Queen 2009 and says, I the asshole for spending my life

savings $7,200 on an arse job plastic surgery when my daughter needed brand new school supplies.

33 year old here for reference, last year, my long time boyfriend dumped me.

We have a seven year old child together and I began making the circuit on the bar scene.

Had some casual hookups and no one seemed like marriage material, seemed to be too interested

in how I was also striking out on all dating apps.

After months of this, I began to grow disheartened and lose confidence, which is when I started

to research augmenting my buttocks.

I'm not a supermodel or anything, but I like to think I'm decently attractive.

However, my backside has always been the part of my body and most self conscious about.

I had a consultation with a doctor who went over the operation and I decided to have

BBL as well as 1,100cc implants placed overinflated to 1,150, which is a standard industry

practice for those who don't know.

The final cost everything included was to be about $7,200, which was all of the funds

in my savings, plus dipping into my checking for a few hundred, which isn't a huge deal

for me.

To make some spending adjustments, cancel a few subscriptions and overall be a lot more

financially cautious, but my daughter wouldn't go hungry or without heat.

The surgery went off without a hitch and I received the augmentation.

Fast forward about 6 weeks and I'm still healing, but mostly healed.

Last week my daughter came home from school with a note from her teacher saying that her

class is collecting school supplies such as markers, glue sticks, tissues etc.

There was a laundry list of supplies of about 20 items.

I did the math and the supplies would come out to around $65.

The note said each student was required to bring the supplies in which really didn't

sit right with me, especially because I bought most of these supplies from my daughter

at the start of the year.

I understand the concept of community supplies or donating supplies for kids in financially

difficult situations, but the requirement just really ticked me the wrong way.

I told my daughter that we couldn't afford that this month and I would talk to her teacher

about it.

I made sure to make it clear that my daughter wouldn't get in trouble for this and that

I would handle it with her teacher.

And yes, spending this extra $65 would have placed significant financial burden on us

for this month's food budget.

Fast forward to yesterday and grandma, my mum, came over and is watching with my daughter

while I get some chores done.

I've fallen a bit behind on chores from resting up from the operation.

My mum said she was taking my daughter to the store and I said that was fine.

I came back an hour later with two bags full of school supplies and my daughter wearing

a brand new backpack.

I was understandably a bit angry and confused and privately talked to my mum in the other

room.

The background, they always give my mum my debit card when she goes to the store to buy

groceries from my house because she is on a tight budget and can only maintain herself.

I figured she was going to the store to buy food for my daughter for the rest of the week,

which she does often, which is why I didn't think anything of it.

My mum saw the note from school and took my daughter out to get the items using my card.

I explained to my mum that I told my daughter that we couldn't afford to contribute to

the supplies.

My mum said that my daughter told her about what I said, but she decided to take her out

anyway.

She said it was ridiculous that I spent so much money on my augmentation and that it wasn't

fair to send my daughter to school as the only one without contributing supplies.

She also said my daughter has been using the same backpack for over 3 years and it stained

and torn and I should be ashamed for not buying her a new one.

I was honestly pretty pissed at her accusations and told her that how I spend my savings is

none of her damn business.

I told her that my daughter had her own perfectly good school supplies and that a 7-year-old

doesn't need a brand new backpack every year or two, especially because I know she is

just going to get a dirty with goldfish dust and dirt at school.

Her backpack was fine and just had some normal wear and tear.

My mum told me I need to get my priority straight and that I'm not setting a good example

as a mother.

I told her that the money is already spent and we are already committed to a tighter budget

for the next months, but that my daughter wouldn't want for anything and that our budget

is absolutely none of her damn business.

I've been thinking about this all day and I'm getting more flustered and angry the more

I think.

So am I the asshole or is my mum overreacting and getting involved in something that's

not her business?

Oof.

Now I totally get that Oby's mum hugely overstepped using the card.

She's in the wrong one that absolutely but I don't think she's wrong to be worried in

the situation as well.

It sounds like Oby spent their entire safety net if you're like on cosmetic surgery and

now you know $65 with it dollars or pounds either way is creating like a burden on your

food budget.

It's just not sustainable is it?

You and you got a kid as well and I don't think the backpack or supplies are really the

issue is just that you're one unexpected expense away from serious trouble and I'm just trying

to relate in some way like this month for me has been absolute chaos.

My car's gone twice now it was fixed and it's gone again it's on the drive and absolutely

in bits boilers had to been replaced this month but I'm just thinking in terms of you

know the kid that they need stability more than that procedure and don't get me wrong.

I think if you want to get cosmetic surgery in any way shape or form that's on you but

I think you need to be in the place to do that but not when it could put you in serious

trouble if something does go wrong.

Just going to give you some of the comments from the actual commenters themselves Oby did

reply but whoo, they were negative replies to say the least one commenter says you're

the asshole for getting butt implants period but also 7200 what about a college fund earning

interest for your child?

Your mother was right about you commenter says this cannot be real no way a genuine

mother is coming asking if she's an asshole because of blowing all your money on a pointless

surgery when your child is in need get the fuck out blue greens as you're the asshole

your story certainly gives this insight into why your boyfriend dumped you you were smart

to do so it's a shame he had to child with you but what's done is done you're a horrible

mother you think honestly you're having so much trouble on the bar circuit because of

your ass contrary to what women think men might be into BBLs for one night stands but

it does not factor into what they wanted a long term partner most of the men I know

would think it was a net negative right along with vampire nails spider lashes and Tammy

fame makeup and one more commenter who says you're the asshole you should be ashamed

of your actions you spent 7200 to get your bum done but couldn't spend 65 on your daughter's

school supplies lady your priorities are completely backwards and education for your child is a priority

not your vanity because you broke up and needed a confidence boost what are you to do if there's

an emergency or better yet that money could have gone to a college fund for your child time is

not on your hands before you know it that little girl will be 18 you're into college and an

unfortunate you chose your vanity above all else you owe your daughter an apology for your

selfish actions but hey at least you got your new ass so the comments were just pretty much like

that all the way through and OP did come back in with an update and said so it's been a month

since I last posted thank you all for the replies to my last post despite the many toxic commenters

and miserable people spewing vial hate there was some constructive comments and I want to thank

those commenters for that the feedback as well as some talks with my mother have given me a lot

to think about and I've come to the conclusion that the operation was a selfish mistake and I regret

it I'm up late at night imagining how my daughter will view this incident once she gets a little

older and the things she will think my implants will serve as a constant reminder to my daughter

of the mistakes I made it will also be a reminder to myself of my guilt and my mistakes

that is why I've decided to remove my implants I've spoken to a doctor about the cost

and risks associated with a removal procedure once I was sure it was the right decision

it was explained to me that for the removal to be safe and successful as it can possibly be

the sutures have to completely heal before you can go back in and remove the implants

this will minimize scarring as well as a risk of infection or similar complications

following the procedure because the operation will be in the ballpark of $4,500 including

anesthesia and all I paid a deposit for the operation on a credit card knowing full well

that I would have no problem making the payments and paying it off oh deary me my implants

have fully healed and all but fully dropped and I'm scheduled to receive the operation in two weeks

in this time of reflection I've also been dating a wonderful man who loves me implants or not

and we're approaching our one month anniversary I've done some discussions with my daughter

following my last post and explained to her how much I love her and that there is nothing more

important to me than her my relationship with my mom is still a little rocky but I think she's

just happy I'm getting the implants removed she's set to drive me to my operation and has not

made any more hateful comments since I told her of my decision to remove them I'm hoping to

repair this relationship as time goes on my daughter is young enough that she won't remember this

episode and will hopefully be nothing more than a bad memory for me a few months down the line

thank you to those who took the time to read and be constructive not hateful have a nice week

bloody how opi almost gave me whiplash in that update I mean I was reading that first and that's

not the very beginning of it I was like okay you know she's reflected it seems to be learning

and I had conversations with her daughter things seems to be looking up and then it was like

and I'm getting the procedure reversed at the cost of four thousand something dollars

I was like oh for fuck sake and I mean how are they going to be a lesson to the daughter

down the road I just had this image of like maybe them being framed on the wall or something

to ask cheek implants just on the wall in the living room my mistake oh I'm just going to turn

this one to you guys what do you guys make of this situation holy bloody moly let us know your

thoughts down in the comments below and let's move on to another story our next story comes from

I hate men who game who says I the R so for getting up and leaving a local gaming tournament

after my boyfriend's friends harassed me and just give you a warning before we do get into this

story contains misogyny and sexist abuse at the same time so if you don't want to skip it likely

to be the last story of this video totally up to you and we're getting started now

so I 21 female have in date to my boyfriend 20 male for three years we got accepted into the

same college and both of us tried out for our you needs a valorant team this last school year

just let you know in case you don't know valorant is like a 5v5 burst person shooter tactical game

but I want to say similar to counter strike but I might get hate for that

hope he continues I got in he didn't this is caused a huge issue in our relationship

but I thought we worked through it well there was a local gaming tournament for valorant

and my boyfriend begged me to play first place prize was $1,200 now I have been radiant before

it's the highest rank you can be in the game right now I'm sitting at tier below that

my boyfriend's friends were going to join us and are all a little lower rank than me

well we got into our bracket today and I carried the hell out of them for four matches

like 30 plus kills each game but we lost our fifth one they started making passive aggressive

comments at me and I just choked well sixth game comes around and they start making really

sexist comments like damn girls really don't belong in games huh or did your boyfriend carry

you a trash get back in the kitchen like a good girl I thought my boyfriend would be mad but

he was just laughing with them halfway through our game one of the boys said Jesus remind me to never

ask a girl to play with us again I'm pretty sensitive to that type of stuff and started crying

my boyfriend asked me to stop crying it was just gamer banter and to just play the game

I told him he could go fuck himself and I stood up and walked out of the gaming cafe

it's 12 a.m now and my best friend just sent me tweets from a bunch of them and their friends

saying shitty things about me and how unprofessional I am my boyfriend and won't even speak to

me he takes me that I embarrassed him a lot of my online gaming friends are telling me to just

apologize and own up to my fault of making them forfeit my gaming team at my uni is telling me

to break up with him and focus on their tournaments and to forget about him so let me get this straight

that you carried them for four games with loads of kills basically outshot them for all but one

game you lost one game and suddenly this is your fault then your boyfriend last well his mates are

telling you to get back to the kitchen of course you're not going to be the asshole in the situation

you just found out what your boyfriend actually thinks you'd rather they're approval then backing

up you and let's face it they're just mad because you're better than them and it's bruised

their little egos and I think your uni team's got it right dump him focus on the tournaments with

people who actually respect you because there's no way at all you should be apologising to people

like that I mean what the fuck is gaming banter I've been in games where you know you ban to

each other but you're just being playful between people who respect each other who really respect

each other and a good friends what they did wasn't that at all like it said before your boyfriend

doesn't have your back in this he's not going to have your back in this quite that simple but

vodka bears says to this reading this made me sit and think for a second this is totally like the

fucking dream of a ton of gamers out there but he he just fucked it I'd be hello proud of my

girlfriend was better at valorant than me hello genuinely beggar to carry me or just watch your

play and learn not the asshole whatsoever also drop the person ASAP and fuck his friends OP says

that's what two of the guys on my team said and it would be a dream to have a cute radiant

girlfriend and they don't understand why he hated that I got in so much I've been texting them a

lot throughout this week and I think we're going to make a game plan for the breakup together

so I don't have to do it alone Dawn 2 says not the asshole I've been gaming for 15 years and

I've played with all types of people but once have I or the people I've chose to play with made

sexist comments about women they are terrible people that's just who they are and they are

showing you that now besides I have a feeling that if you guys won the tournament they would have

to come up with a reason why you should get an uneven split of the prize money who he says I

I didn't even think about this I don't remember talking to them about splitting with me at all

I was always left out of that conversation oh my god why was I so blind and edits wow I was not

expecting this type of response a sweet guy on my team said to one V1 him tomorrow and if I lose

he gets to send the breakup text lol thanks for opening my eyes I really should have ended

this relationship the moment he wasn't happy for me when I got in thanks loves

end of final and edit slash update says so I broke up with him I won the one V1 lol so we did

in person with my friends outside the dorm room my team was there to support me and they all made

sure I was okay and safe I really kind right employee gifted me a riot gun buddy and I'm very

happily going to be showing it off during the tournament this weekend thanks for helping me see

this wasn't the type of behavior I should put up with and to all the men in my DMs angry and upset

I finally have the courage to say this fuck you I'm better than you so stop sending me angry and

creepy messages I might update this in a week and let you all know what happened during the breakup

and how our tournament goes exploit from was very very mad but I'm the winner here thank you thank you

watch you play in a tournament hope he says I'm still deciding this is I'm a little hesitant to

have people know where I'm located I've got a lot of creepy guys in my DMs I'm a little paranoid

my social media accounts I'm gonna get found all these guys will know what town I live in

since the tournaments are through my college in game and cafe but if I decide it's safe I will

gladly share I can maybe make a little highlight edit and blur out the names commenter says honestly

I hope you send him a link to this post OP if he says he's already seen it a friend of his

sent it to him I got a slew of angry texts just absolutely good on OP in this situation it seems

like she's got a property now who actually values her skills over fragile egos in the commenters

below this sharing their own experiences within game and the fact that you know this is still

such a common experience these days is absolutely grim it sounds like in some ways opus found
