AITA for not tipping my bartender Im in vegas for a friends bday party weekend. I dont typically go to the bar but i wanted to buy him a cocktail before we went on the high roller ferris wheel. I typically dont tip unless im at a sit down restaurant, so I automatically pressed the no tip button when paying for my friends cocktail (the other options were 18, 20, 22% tips). I said thanks to the bartender for the drink and waited for my other friend to order, I heard the conversation go as follows: Friend: Hi Hows your day so far? Bartender \*loudly\*: Not so good. Friend: Oh no what happened! Bartender \*not making eye contact with anyone\*: Im not allowed to say. I had a VERY big feeling it was about my lack of tip. My friend tipped cuz she felt bad that he had a bad day until i told her I felt it was about my lack of tip. She said that she did hear a under the breath comment, something like: Wow first person to tip all night. I felt bad for not tipping, I didnt know until now that we were expected to tip for one drink (i thought tipping is usually done if we kept coming back for drinks or if it was for a big order). But after the passive aggressive attitude I felt kinda relieved I didnt tip (my friend said she regretted it after she heard his comment). AITA?
AITAH for following my dreams. I am 23m I have been living at home until recently when I decided I wanted to move on from my previous job possibility of working with my dad as a builder due to his treatment of me. For context I have worked with my dad for 3 months now and throughout this time I have not been paid once for working for him. I have asked him why he hasn’t paid (he is the manager) and he has said that he already pays for my lodgings and food and therefore I don’t need to take more money away from his business. I have always wanted to join the Marines as it is a dream of mine to fight for my country however always been pressured by my dad to continue to family building business later on in life as he started it up himself. Which I am not enjoying as I am not being paid and not having a drive to it. Saying this however it would not be impossible for me to come back and work again for the firm after the army. I have since signed up and soon will be going to Basic Training. I have not left my parents but simply left the business So AITAH for leaving my dad’s business and following what I want to do?
AITAH for not going to my friend's farewell party since he didn't invite my girlfriend? So my friend, let's call him Luke, is organizing a farewell party for two of my friends since they are going to different countries for a few months. One of those friends is Luke's twin brother, and the other guy is a common friend. We were all going to the elementary school together, so we are all part of the same friend group. My girlfriend has personally met both of them, but she is not particularly close to either of them. I got invited to a party, but he didn't mention my girlfriend, so I asked him if it would be okay if she could also come. He said no, since there were no available seats, to which I replied, 'Fine.' I assumed that no other girlfriends were invited to the party. After 2h, I found out that another friend is bringing his girlfriend AND HER SISTER to the party, and since then, I have been so upset. Yes, I am aware that my gf met them only once, but I do believe that it is basic decency to invite her too. I would feel awful if I went to the party without her while my other friends went with their girlfriends. I feel that if I went to the party, I would disrespect my girlfriend and myself. Also, I know that if I don’t go, it will damage my relationship with Luke. Honestly, I am so mad and hurt that I don't care about that. Yes, I am aware that he is having a party for both of my friends, and I am aware that he is not organizing everything for couples. Also, even though I didn't meet Luke's girlfriend, I would love to invite her and meet her if I organized a similar party. I would never do the same thing as he did. AITAH?
