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!

He’s the asshole but he has lots of company so maybe he likes that place. Giggle you say watching men in shorts (with balls) LOL I’ll go to the concert with you.

He’s the asshole. If he didn’t want to go he should have just said no instead of saying he couldn’t get off work. Dude, be adult enough to be honest when you have no interest in doing something instead of throwing out some weak-ass lie!
Jo
The fact that he stated he “couldn’t” take time off is a lie. If he was a mature, evolved human, he would have been honest and said he didn’t “want” to take the time off. 🚩🚩🚩 If he’s willing to lie about something this small, he can’t be trusted to communicate honestly about the big stuff. NTA!

I am TeamTop. It’s just easier to find the end of it when it’s on the top, and it pulls out more neatly. But I know people with cats who are TeamBottom to hide it from getting pulled out.

I’m with Cass. His answer to you had SO many tells I hope you take time to ponder. I agree that both should have personal time for each of your loves but he dismissed you, then sort of lied to you. ):
I wish I had the funds to buy your candles but don’t so support you with my enthusiasm. I know, not much help but it’s all I have.
