AITA: The Meme

r/AmITheAsshole or AITA is a subreddit dedicated to, well, figuring out if the poster is the asshole. People post their grievances, often with a snappy title (“AITA for not allowing my best friend to crash at my house after his wife died?”), the story of their saga, and often ending with two sentence TL;DR summary at the bottom.

Commenters vote, YTA (you're the asshole) or NTA (not the asshole) or ask for more details before giving their final verdict. Occasionally, people declare a story too unbelievable to be true, and refuse to vote.

• Post a toplevel with your character's story. Include as much or as little detail as is IC, including aliases if they're trying not to stir too much shit.
• Tag around. Are these people the asshole?
• Discuss! Fight! Pretend your character got banned from Reddit!

Have you tried setting his socks on fire when they're in the wrong spaces?

[spaghettimonster]

Hmmmm. I haven't...

And, I guess. Cleaning up soot and ashes, isn't the same, as cleaning up his laundry.

[talkative]

Alternatively, does he breathe and have a capacity for smell that he can't turn off?

[spaghettimonster]

Hmmmmmm... That's ebatable. I don't think he has a sense of smell.

He sleeps in his room.

[talkative]

If he has no sense of smell than this idea is moot.

I'd set up a sock burning spot where you don't have to clean it up afterwards. Maybe in his room.

...Unless you get a flamethrower and just attack his socks as he drops them, that might be pretty dramatic too.

[spaghettimonster]

Yeah, exactly! The drama, the heat, the lights drawing attention...!

And also, then, I wouldn't have to touch them before I torch them.

[talkative]

A very good reason.

[One of the advantages of being undead is that the body stops its bodily functions, which makes lying around dirty laundry a lot less gross and smelly on the whole. No necessarily nice, but... better than with living roommates. ...though human roommates don't have other annoying habits. Like Olivia's sense of room decoration. That starts to smell after a while.

Wait.]

You're a skeleton. Is your brother not one?

[How do socks get gross on a skeleton?]

[spaghettimonster]

Huh? No, of course he's a skeleton.

[Is that a question he wants an answer to?]

[talkative]

[It's called morbid curiosity for a reason.]

How does he manage to get his socks gross if he doesn't sweat?

[spaghettimonster]

Oh, he sweats. And oozes slime. It's the worst.

[It's the worst.]

Re: keywords relevant

[talkative]

[...]

HOW.

[spaghettimonster]

That's just what brothers do.

[talkative]

...Are you sure that's actually something that he does automatically, or does he just do it to spite you? [Hey, weirder things have been developed to spite someone]

[spaghettimonster]

[There's a long pause, in which Papyrus brings his fingers together over his mouth, as if to keep himself from talking too quickly.]

...Do you think that's possible.

[talkative]

Absolutely.

[Said with perfect conviction.]

[spaghettimonster]

Oh my god!!!

[He's not convinced it's the case, but he's convinced that it's possible, and that's enough for him to yell.]

To think, he might do that to me... To himself! His terrible bed! He sleeps in that, you know!

[talkative]

Some people are verydetermined to annoy someone.

[He's not saying that that is the case here. But he can say that he's seen people go through an awful lot of discomfort just to annoy someone else. ...heck, he's been that person. Though he would never live in squalor to achieve that.]

[spaghettimonster]

I understand a long setup for a joke. But that kind of discomfort... That kind of effort, when normally he's as anti-effort as they come!

Ugh.

[talkative]

Just that something requires determination doesn't mean that it requires effort.

[spaghettimonster]

Effortless determination...

Truly, you have described my brother to a t.

[talkative]

Sounds like I might be on to something, then.

Do you need help finding a flamethrower?

[spaghettimonster]

I might... It's surprising, but flamethrowers aren't for sale in most grocery stores.

[talkative]

Hardware store might be a bitter place to look?

[spaghettimonster]

Huh? Why would it be, fire isn't hard.

[talkative]

Neither is paint and yet that's where you find it.

Maybe something about the cans it's stored in?
