Today’s anecdotal Reddit post, is on AITA, read the comments. My wife was reading this to me this morning as she often does and I said “I know what causes those issues.” 🤔🦠 and then she started reading me the comments, so I decided I would share this here with you guys.

I almost don’t want to link to the article even though it’s a pay wall bypass link, so they won’t get any money anyway.
