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: He's not bothered by his girlfriend's love of pasta he's bothered by how she eats pasta. She slurps her pasta so loudly that she disrupts other people in restaurants. He tried to talk to her about it, but nothing changed the next time they went to an Italian restaurant. So what did he do? Walkout on her in the middle of their meal. Is he an a*hole?

0:51.0	It's completely mortifying to hear people murmur about her loud slurping all the time.
0:55.3	And I know this might be normal in some cultures, but where it from where I am in the US, and
0:59.4	where Ali is also from in the US, it looks really uncultured and bothers some people who
