Summary

Every week we dive DEEP into the AITA (Am I The A*hole) thread on Reddit, and it’s FASCINATING. It’s a bunch of real-life scenarios people are in where they could EASILY be the a*hole, but maybe – just maybe – once you hear all the details, you’ll understand it a little better and they won’t be SO much of an a*hole! Or maybe not. Up today: His wife's cat was the WORST! The cat scratched people, never used the litter box, etc. His wife swore she could get the cat to behave, but he didn't believe it. What did he do? Trade the cat in for a well-behaved look-alike cat. Does this make him an a*hole? See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
