For grief, for laughs and, on occasion, unbridled rage. From emotionally suffocating mothers-in-law to petty friend feuds and a whole lot of wedding-related drama, Reddit's Am I The Asshole thread (previously known as AITA) has become a sanctuary for anonymous venters to divulge their behavioural dilemmas to the world, asking the dreaded question: Am I the asshole?We've all wondered about it at some point.
