My BIL (27) “Joe” and my sister (25) always comes to visit from out of town. They stays with us instead of a hotel, and always wants to go to expensive restaurants. He always conveniently forgets his wallet, or comes up with some excuses as to why he can’t pay her share. He has implied that since my parents are loaded they should be the ones to pay. My parents make a fair amount of money, but not so much that they can treat someone every time they come into town. Nonetheless, in the past, they have just paid the bill and asked him to pay back. He never has.

He had made a reservation at an extremely expensive restaurant last night, and before we left, I made it clear that my parents shouldn't pay the bill.

This is where I might be the "antagonist." As we were leaving, he and my sister went to the car. I pretended I forgot something and went back inside. I found his wallet sitting right on top of his suitcase. I put it in my pocket and we went to the restaurant.

When we were done eating, my parents asked for separate bills. He said no, we need one bill, because he “forgot” his wallet again. I reached in my pocket and said, “this wallet?”

He was extremely furious. He said that I should not have touched or grabbed his wallet.

So AITA for taking his wallet and bringing it to the restaurant?

Before I start this post, let me give some context. My son(35), Gregor is the main breadwinner for my family. My wife, his sister and myself all depend on him. So imagine my surprise when one day, after 15 years of doing his job, he decides to not get out of bed! I call his boss over and it takes him like an hour to even open the door. Out of the door comes this chittering, human-sized insult to nature, incoherently screeching and rambling. So I do the rational thing. I smack the freak back into the room and lock the door. My daughter had been taking care of this mutant for the interim. Imagine my surprise when one day, after I get back from my job at the bank, he's crawling all over the kitchen table. So, I decide to throw fruits at him, which succeeds in repelling him back to the room. For some reason, both my daughter and wife are upset with me, because he's apparently "still Gregor." Really, I have a hard time believing that that bug is my son. AITA?

TLDR: I beat up a huge cockroach.

My son, Gregor, turned into a disgusting, pestilent bug overnight that caught my wife, daughter, and I by shock. I did not know what to do, so instinctually I grabbed a newspaper and started to swat my son that is human-size bug (P21). I injured it, but it was not fatal or severe and only lost a few of its legs. My family is traumatized and I am thinking of kicking the creature out or at worse, killing it. He was the main breadwinner for the family, but he is now he is a deadbeat and utterly useless. I have not told my family yet, but I have a little emergency fund from my business that we could live comfortably with temporarily (P32). If I kick it out, AITA?

My father (m52) and mother (f50) currently can’t work as my father’s business went bankrupt about fifteen years ago and due to their old age I have taken on the role as the breadwinner (m33). However, as of this morning I’m now a human sized cockroach and am having a hard time getting out of bed making me unable to work. To make matters worse because this is the first time I’ve missed work in fifteen years my boss pulled up to my crib and demanded to know what was happening. But what he didn’t know was that I was now a roach so when he took a glance at my face he and ran out the house rendering me jobless (Page 19) . Now, my family is forced to work and take care of me because I cannot communicate, I cannot eat normal food and cannot work. So now, my dad is forced to work again while always in uniform (Page 44) while my sister now becomes the new caretaker (Page 41) . Also my mom has fainted because I am a roach (Page 43) . AITA for leaving this burden upon my family?

I (F17) have always been shun out, excluded, and mistreated by my family. I had always felt like the least important of the family having nothing to offer. That was until my brother (M23) who we can call “Gregor” has recently taken my place as the family burden. He had somehow, someway transformed into a human sized roach who no longer benefits our family, rather, makes things worse. I have offered to help him and now I don’t want him to change. I finally have some semblance of power in this household. AITA for wanting him to stay in his vermin like state just because I don’t want to be excluded?

My name is Gregor, and I was the main provider for everyone in my family, since my parents were unable to work as their business had gone bankrupt. I made sure to never miss a day of work, even never being late. One day, I had a rough night and I woke up as an insect (Page 1). Now that I’m a cockroach, I can't go to work or make any money. My family is displeased with the fact that I can no longer provide for them. They can't even bear the sight of me, and every time they enter my room I try to hide from them because I am embarrassed with the way I look (Page 20). I don’t even enjoy the foods I used to love anymore! AITA for not being able to provide even though I physically can't?

Gregor, you are not the antagonist because an unfortunate event that you had no control over happened to you. In your current state, you are unable to provide for your family and it is completely justified because of your job. Hopefully, you can revert back and get back to your normal way of life. Granted, your family may be acting in a justified way to what just happened, which is seemingly impossible, because of how absurd the situation is. -Tomas

My son “Gregor” turned into a cockroach overnight and I am having a major dilemma. We need him to work because he is responsible for paying the family bills, since I am retired and don’t work. Gregor doesn’t know, but I do have some money saved up. When I woke up one morning and realized my son wasn’t opening his door to go to work, I had noticed something was wrong. I was ready to help not knowing what dire situation he was experiencing (page 15). Eventually, he opened the door and I realized he had turned into a cockroach. I was in disbelief and was angry because how does a human turn into a cockroach one night into the next. As soon as I saw him, I drove him back into his room hissing at him while holding a stick (Page 21). In my defense, when have you ever seen a human sized cockroach. AITA for treating my own son like an animal?

My brother woke up as a cockroach. Gregor never missed a day of work and he feels like his purpose in life is gone since he can’t go to his job. Since my father doesn’t want anything to do with him, I’ve taken over the role of taking care of him. Gregor has found entertainment in crawling all over the walls, the ceiling and even just hanging from the ceiling (37). I recommended to my mother that we get rid of all his furniture so he can be free and crawl over the whole room, but my mother feels that it would make it seem like we are giving up on him (38). AITA for wanting to get rid of all of the furniture in his room?

My son (20s) Gregory is a workaholic who never leaves the house. Because of this, he has no friends or a social life and we don’t speak with each other much. Then, on a random morning, my son became unable to work because he became a cockroach. In his disgusting and pathetic state, he refused to go to work. By not going to work he can’t pay off my debts and jeopardizes this family. I chased my repulsive cockroach of a son with a stick and a newspaper, making unrecognizable noises (21-22). I think our family would be better off without having him as our burden. AITA for not being sympathetic and trying to take care of him even though he’s a useless bug that contributes absolutely nothing?

My son woke up today as a cockroach. I am so disappointed and shocked at what he has become. He just woke up like this and I don't know what to do. I’m not treating him the same anymore and I feel like his self esteem is going down. He is a complete burden to me and my family. (Pg. 15) My son was a work horse, he used to support the family with his job, but now he is a huge weight on our back. We have decided as a family to kick him out of the house. (Pg. 19) In doing this we will not have to deal with his cockroach form who does nothing but consume all day. If I do this am I the antagonist?

So basically my son (35)Gregor became a vermin. He always goes to work and after 15 years he did not go. I noticed he simply did not even get out of bed. I went to go check and that roach just standing there making weird noises. I was so shocked to see him. He looked so strange. I didn’t want to see him anymore so I started hissing at him making threats at him (pg. 22). He was taking too long to go back into his room. So, I shoved that insect and slammed the door on him. This difficult encounter resulted in me to replace Gregor for his sister, Grete (pg.36). Every chance i could I threw something at the roach.Heck, I even threw an apple. He is not even my son. He is a filthy insect. AITA for beating up a human sized roach living in my house?
