TASK DEFINITION: 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'
PROBLEM: CLAIM : The following post is HISTORICAL. POST : So my wife and I are good friends with a neighbor up the road. They have a 20 year old son who has had many issues with drug abuse, in and out of rehab, recently got out of jail, and has underlining mental health issues that sometimes reveals itself in aggressive behavior/outbursts. 

My wife reached out to me via text message today about offering to pay him money two walk our two dogs. One is a 10 year old lab mix and the other a year old, full bred Weimaraner. I said “no” because I don’t trust him and would prefer not to possibly enable his drug habit.

I offered instead to teach him everything I know about “flipping.” Flipping is buying things at yard sales, liquidators, etc and selling it for a profit. This would require him to spend time with me which I could use to give some life advice as well.

In short, I was deemed an asshole for saying “no” to the dog walking and “so full of myself” for thinking I could mentor him. Thoughts?

SOLUTION: yes

PROBLEM: CLAIM : The following post is HISTORICAL. POST : Throwaway, obv.  

Sorry for the poor formatting and long winded post. Thanks for reading:  

My wife told me 3 months ago that she had feelings for someone else, someone that she met through work. I took it hard, but it was also a wake-up call for me to be a better husband and a better person. After a few weeks she told me the feelings for this other person were gone. Fast forward to a few weeks ago and we were both sick on a morning that we had to get our son to pre-school. I fell asleep and woke up to her fully dressed for the day and saying that our son is in school. I said "wow how did you do that when you were so sick?" and she told me that the co-worker she "used to have a crush on" drove our family car and took him to school. I was furious, and got mad and gave my wife the cold-shoulder for a few days. Now last week, our car has a minor repair needed. She tells me "I'm no good with cars" and that her aforementioned crush should take a look at it. I refused and said I know what happened and how to fix it and I will fix it. She then went behind my back and had this guy look at the car. She lied to me and told me she had her dad look at it (she later admitted lying). Mad, but still determined to prove my worth, I fixed the car no problem. The last straw was this weekend. She was at the store and asked me to take a picture of a recipe  in our cookbook. I used the "family ipad" because my phone was dead. The ipad is logged in with her Apple ID, and thus syncs pictures with her phone. When I went to send her the recipe I saw 3 pictures of her vagina close up. I sent her the recipe and said "why do you have pictures of your pussy on the ipad?" I knew that she was sending them to the other guy. She responded "What? Maybe that just turns me on to take those pictures. You don't know how I masturbate anymore". I don't believe her. Then yesterday in our counselling session she admits to having an "emotional affair" with this person and she admits to sending this man pictures of her vagina. I tried to meditate when I got home to calm down but all my brain could think was "go tell this guy that he is messing with the wrong husband and he better back the fuck off". So I did. I did a reverse lookup and went to his house, unannounced. He was home but chose not to open the door after a good 5 minutes of me knocking. I pushed on his front door and it opened. I saw a collection of DVDs on a shelf by the door and knocked them all down and yelled to him "come talk to me like a man. If you want to wreck my home then i will wreck yours". My rational thinking finally kicked in and i realized i better not break anything of value and get the fuck out of there ASAP. My wife called me about an hour later asking me "what the fuck i was doing" and i said "defending my family, and also, fuck you." and hung up. We started our trial separation today. She insists there was nothing physical between them but only her marriage was stopping that. I don't know if i can believe that after her previous lies. I am very calm and peaceful now and honestly going to confront him (doing something about it instead of letting it bother me) felt really good. So, reddit, am I the asshole?

SOLUTION: no

PROBLEM: CLAIM : The following post is HISTORICAL. POST : Just happened today. First time it's happened that I've noticed.

I was looking at some t-shirts in a hidden corner of the store. 
Woman maybe 30-40 years old in plain clothing suddenly appears not more than a few feet away, also looking at the same shirts I was just looking at (Red flag #1)

Immediately once I spot her I walk away to a different section of the store to look at pants. I look there for about a minute, and then happen to turn around and glance back in the direction of which I just came from. 

I see her looking straight at me for a few seconds. Hard to explain the look she was giving me, but her eyes were squinting a little bit like she was curious of my intentions. Have no idea what caused her to all of the sudden start watching me like that.

I'd say it's because of my skin color, but there were lots of other colored people around so what the hell was her problem? She was an African-American woman too. Was she loss prevention or was she just a weirdo? 

Anyway, I gave her a pretty menacing look before we both broke eye contact. That's why I want to know if I'm being an asshole for giving her the stink eye for watching me like that. Nothing else happened after. Didn't see her again. Cannot describe how weird and uncomfortable I felt during those moments. 

SOLUTION:
yes
