AITA- March Madness Edition by Bobbi
You guys, please tell me, is my annoyance justified? Or am I just being an asshole???
Hey Misfits, Bobbi here! We were having a full office discussion yesterday regarding Lacie and Joe's epic social media toilet paper battle. You all went nuts in the comments. I'm sure you remember Lacie asking if she was the asshole because she preferred the toilet paper from the bottom and Joe insisted that the toilet paper MUST go over the top. You all even went so far to post the original toilet paper patent to PROVE Lacie was indeed the asshole.
While discussing if she was still indeed the asshole, I shared my own AITA story and Lacie said I should ask the Malicious Misfits. (That's you all).
So… March Madness is almost here. Which basically means my boyfriend is entering his “yell at the TV like the players can actually hear him” era. Look, I’ve got nothing against sports, they make great background ambiance for my daily naps, but I find this whole bracket obsession stuff extremely silly. I just can't seem to get behind being emotionally invested in watching grown men in shorts chase a ball around, but you know what? Whatever makes him happy.
Now, here’s the kicker. I asked him to go with me to the Trisha Paytas live show in Portland (the Seattle show is sold out, of course), and he said he couldn’t take time off work. Fine, I get it… until he told me he took TWO DAYS OFF to watch the start of March madness. TWO DAYS. To sit on the couch and yell at men in shorts. MAKE! IT! MAKE! SENSE!
So, in honor of my personal annoyance, and in solidarity with anyone else forced to endure the torture chamber that is March Madness… I created this label. March ‘Meh’ness. Infused with literally not giving a dunk.
Get yours here (shameless plug)
Please, let me know…
PS. Please buy this candle and support my pettiness. Collectively, we need to prove that HE is the asshole! Also, if this flops, he will probably break up with me...but no pressure.
Stay Malicious!

I may have joined this too late, but here’s my two cents anyway… you’re both assholes. What a silly thing to get upset about. I’m 72 years old and, honey, I can promise you, this incident ain’t worth sweating. Brush it off, take a breath, and learn to pick your battles better.

If he had said he already put in to take those days off, therefore, his PTO is in a deficiency and he couldn’t take more time off. He’d be in the clear. But to give you a reason why he can’t go (to something he obviously didn’t want to go to nor was accompanying you a point of interest for him) and turn around and use not 1 but 2 days to be an impotent loser shouting at professional millionaire children? You’ve got yourself a selfish, lying man child. Dump his “can’t be that good in bed” ass. Seriously. He’s an immature POS.

So, I totally get why you’re frustrated, but I don’t think he’s necessarily the AH. As someone that very regularly takes time off for sporting events (and attend many of them on my own), I understand his enthusiasm. I think he could’ve vastly improved his answer to your request, however. Maybe just make it a girl’s trip to PDX or take time on your own to enjoy something you love! (Travel on your own is sooo liberating, btw- 10/10 recommend!)

P. S. I’ll purchase the candle if you toss the ball of wax buildup that’s melting your heart ❤️ in a bad way. You can thank me later when you find your knight in shining armor.

My suggestion is based only on the information you provided.
He lied once? He’ll lie again. Unload him. As for your comment about him potentially breaking up with you. That may be the best thing to happen to you. Better yet, you work for Malicious Women girl. Get your shit together and unload him first.
