Teacher: 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'
Teacher: Now, understand the problem? If you are still confused, see the following example:
CLAIM : The following post is HISTORICAL. POST : Background: I have ocd and the only contamination issue I have is around food. Both parents know this. What has lead me to ask this question is this mornings reaction from parent B.

This morning parent b offered to make me breakfast, I responded how I always do: that’s very kind but I’m happy to come make it myself. Parent b said it was no trouble. I accepted. Two slices of toast came and apu I check the toast for signs of mould. First piece had no issues, I ate it. Second piece however had something green growing on the edge. I cut this bit off but I couldn’t shake in my head that the whole piece must be contaminated and so I took the toast back and apologised that I couldn’t eat it cos of the mould and we checked the date on the bread and it said the 30th December. Nearly a week past its best before. Parent b apologised and we threw it away. No drama.

Nearly identical situation occurred about 6 months ago with parent a. Parent a offered to make me a toasted sandwich. I said that would be very kind but I was happy to make it myself. Parent a said it was no problem, I accepted. When the sandwich came I checked the bread for mould and found green and white stuff growing down one side of the bread. I take it back to the kitchen and explain that it has mould and I’m sorry but I can’t eat it. I will make myself something else. Parent a goes ballistic. I’m “ungrateful and don’t trust them and did I really think they’d feed me mould?” I pointed out the mould- clearly visible. “Well someone must’ve not sealed the bread package properly (ie me) and that’s how it got mouldy.” I asked if parent a had checked the date and that just seemed to escalate their reaction. They stormed out screaming and crying. I checked the bread date and it was 2 or 3 days past the best before.

Aita in either situation? Parent a’s reaction made me think I was. But now I’ve had the same situation with parent b and they didn’t get angry or pissed off maybe I wasn’t the asshole? Obviously I think I need to just make my own food. Then I can’t cause trouble.
Solution: yes
Reason: The post clearly mentions an event in the past when the author asked some questions to his/her parents and also describes about their reactions on that day. Hence this should be HISTORICAL.

Now, solve this instance: CLAIM : The following post is HISTORICAL. POST : Yesterday was my little brother's birthday, so my mom organized a little party only including our direct family and her brother's. My sister has been very distant from the family ever since she left home for university. However, whenever she does come home for someone's birthday or Christmas, she always drops off a couple of lottery tickets as presents before she heads off on her way.

My brother scratched off one of his tickets, and got a match. He wasn't too excited because we have won a few times over the years, but only actually got $5 max. He asked me to go out and redeem it because he wasn't 18 yet, and I was initially reluctant because we live out of town and the closest lotto is 30 minutes away. I told him I would go if he gave me half of what he won, and he agreed.

I left to redeem the ticket, and I ended up winning $500, cash in hand. I was fucking stoked and rushed back home. When I told him and showed him the money, he was ecstatic. I handed $250, then he looked at me and said "What the fuck." I asked him what was wrong and he told me to hand over the rest. After I tried to explained to him that we made a deal, he started getting mad and throwing a little tantrum. I tried reminding him that I spent almost $200 getting him one of those authentic football jersey of his favourite player, Neymar, but he was having none of it.

The rest of the family came over to find out what all of the ruckus was about, and my brother told our mom that I stole his money. I tried again to explain the situation, but he kept interrupting me and screaming that it was his lottery ticket, and his money. Our mom, stepped in and said that said that if we can't sort it out then she'll just take it, as she snatched it out of my brother's hands before attempting to do the same to me. I dodged her attempt and told her again that we made a deal, before she told me to give it. I yelled "fuck this" as I left and drove back to my college dorm a couple hours from home.

After I got to my dorm was getting texts from my mom, brother, and a couple cousins telling me to come back home, or just saying that I was acting like a dick. I ignored everyone, but when I got a text from my sister (who I haven't really talked to for almost a year) which said "I heard you won some money from my ticket", I just replied with "lmao, fuck off".

So, am I really in the wrong for keeping half the money?

TLDR: My brother won $500 off his lottery ticket after we agreed that we would split it 50/50. Now that he knows how much the ticket is worth, he wants to keep all of it.
