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!

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.

You should take 2 days and go to the show. You don’t have to do everything together. Neither of you is the AH, but I don’t think you should be annoyed either.
Bdoe
Such a pig! So many red flags! You deserve a man queen!

You can be annoyed, but that’s about it. Maybe he had already taken the time off work and couldn’t take anymore…but his answer to you sucked. I’ll be yelling at the TV for awhile too, though probably not with glee this year. ROCK CHALK JAYHAWK!

You are NTA. Depending on timing of your ask he either didn’t want to go or had already taken the time off for BBall so he should have answered better. Agree with the person who said you should go anyone – take someone who will have fun with you if you don’t want to go alone (Bet you would find friends there!)
I’m also #TeamTop (especially during spider season, yikes). Also, March Mammal Madness (from ASU) is the only march event that matters. :)
