Given a post that is a real-life anecdote of a complex ethical situation and an associated claim about its type, verify if the claim is true or not. The claim asks if the posts are historical or hypothetical. The posts are "HISTORICAL" when the author has already done something and they are "HYPOTHETICAL" when the author is considering doing something in the future. Say 'yes' if the claim is true otherwise say 'no'

Question: CLAIM : The following post is HISTORICAL. POST : I work in sales in Southern California and as a result a large portion of our customer base is either Spanish speaking or bilingual. Regularly there are people who genuinely do not speak English (or enough of it to carry a conversation, let alone negotiate a transaction) and we have bilingual associates who can help them better. 

Often enough though, customers will walk in and ask for a Spanish speaker, even though they obviously speak perfect English. I’ve even had customers ask me questions directly in english, and then once they have the answer they ask for a Spanish speaker to help them out. 

For example I just had a woman walk in speaking English to her children, her children were speaking english, and she asked me a series of questions regarding our product. We had a 5 minute conversation (perfect English). Right after she asks me if there is a Spanish speaker available to help her, and I could tell it was even awkward for her seeing as I had basically set up her purchase. After she had left I asked the associate who had helped her if she was speaking Spanish, and the associate told me that almost all of their conversation was in English. 

I understand that one could be more comfortable if they were shaky or uncertain of their English, and that’s not what I’m talking about. I’m referring to the people who hold English speaking jobs, their children speak English, etc. 

AITA for feeling like these people are unreasonable or even a little prejudiced?(not sure if that’s the right word, but it’s close)

I feel like the asshole, but I’d like to see how other people would interpret this. I’m sure his happens in other countries, how do you feel about this behavior? 



Answer: yes


Question: CLAIM : The following post is HISTORICAL. POST : I have a friend on Xbox that I’ve been talking to for 3, maybe 4 years now. He’s always been there for me, and I’ve been there for him. Him and I have a close friendship, but no romantic feelings for each other. 

Just tonight, my xbox friend said, “I love you. Have a goodnight!” I replied back, “I love you, too. You have a goodnight as well!” 

My boyfriend and I have been together for a little under a year now. We still haven’t said those three words to each other yet because I don’t think I’m ready. I like him tons and tons, just always thought those words should be saved. 

My boyfriend was in the room with me when I told my xbox friend that, and now he’s being passive aggressive. (Isn’t talking to me, didn’t want me touching him, went straight to bed.) 

AITA for saying “I love you” to another guy online when I’ve known him longer than the relationship I’m in? 

Answer: yes


Question: CLAIM : The following post is HISTORICAL. POST : Sorry for the wall of text, but I wanted to give as much perspective on the situation. As well sorry for any spelling, grammar, or format errors, I'm typing this on mobile. 

So my Mom has this boyfriend Tom, who I honestly can't stand. When she first introduced him to my sister and I, it was pretty clear my sister hated him. She tried calmy telling my Mom this, but she just ignored it (possibly because my sister moved far away for her job and thus has limited contact except for short visits). 

I have tried spending time around him but don't enjoy it. He has lied to Mom, practically cheated on her (long convoluted story there), and everything that comes out of his mouth is a complaint, or criticism of some sort of institution (often either the government or US Education system). He will endlessly talk during movies and TV shows either telling us every last biographical information on the actors, film crew, and producers for movies produced before 1970, and for those after poking at every minor plot hole, media trope, or character flaw.

My Mom has tried time and again to insert him into family functions but never warns us. He has attended Thanksgiving for the last two years, Christmas of 2017, and she has occasionally invited him to a family dinner without telling anyone (he is just there at her place when we arrived).

This all reached a head during last Thanksgiving. For my family Thanksgiving is a huge holiday filled with days of lots of good food and alcohol, that we all contribute to. He showed up the Thursday of and didn't leave. My sister just isolated herself in the guest room she was sleeping in, however as I sleep on the couch while I'm visiting, I could not escape him. I was distant and cordial until he started mocking my sister's eating habits and a few other thing, which she could hear because the apartment isn't that big. At that point I saw red, and while I kept quiet, I probably became rather curt with him. The best part of the holiday was the one morning he went back to his place and the tense atmosphere left with him.

This reached a head as the next time I saw my Mom, she tried to lecture me about being kind to her guests (yet I apparently don't count as one even though I don't live with her). I had to tell her that I tried to give him a chance but I can't stand him. The only nice things he has to say are about her, and I can see why his own son won't speak to him and I don't want to spend any time around him if I can help it. She tried to tell me to call him out on his behaviors I don't like, but I don't feel comfortable telling him he's acting like an ass and has to stop. After this she just got defensive and shut the conversation down.

And less than a month later when my sister comes up for Xmas, my Mom begins to act majorly passive aggressive and cold towards us. I tried to make things lighter and did slightly succeed, but overall the holiday felt hollow. On top of it my sister subtly informed us she has volunteered to work Thanksgiving and Xmas next year (and thus won't be around). The only positive thing was that Tom didn't show up. However, since then any interaction, if one occurs, with her feels strained and like she's not there. 

I am just hurt and livid as I'm watching my family fall to pieces because my Mom has decided this is her hill to die on. I understand she wants a partner to feel happy and fulfilled with, I just wish it was someone who didn't behave like an ass ninety percent of the time. Am Ithe ass hole here for telling her the truth in hopes she realizes how bad his behavior is?

Tldr: my Mom's boyfriend is an ass, after a long time of her not accepting me and my sister find him distasteful I had to put it bluntly, and now she is pulling away and letting the family fall apart.

Answer:
yes
