On the 9th episode of The Joevelocity Show, Joe is joined by his mother Sharon, and we discuss some r/AITA stories from Reddit.

• AITA for laughing when my wife fell and pooped her pants because I thought it was a prank?

We start off with the story of a 33-year-old man laughed when his 31-year-old wife fell and said she had pooped her pants, because he assumed it was another one of her toilet-humor pranks. She’s known for pulling stunts like that, so he thought it was intentional comedy. When he realized it wasn’t a joke, he tried to help, but she was upset, sarcastically called him “husband of the year,” and argued he should have known it was real since she doesn’t repeat pranks. He wonders if he’s the asshole for laughing at her accident.

• AITA for ruining the banana prank?

Next, we venture into the humorous yet complex world of pranks within relationships. We explore a story where a husband and wife navigate the repercussions of frequent pranking, questioning when jokes stop being funny and start causing friction. We also examine a listener's story involving a woman who has a strong dislike for bananas and her boyfriend's persistence in using them as a prank. Despite her general love for pranks, the banana jokes push boundaries, sparking a discussion on respect and understanding personal boundaries within relationships. The chapter humorously critiques these situations while emphasizing the importance of recognizing when a joke is no longer a joke but an act of insensitivity.

• AITA for going to the police over a 'prank'

Next, we explore a troubling incident where a vegan individual, intoxicated at a party, was tricked into eating chicken nuggets by friends who claimed they were vegan-friendly. The story highlights the importance of respecting dietary choices, as these choices often extend beyond mere preference to encompass lifestyle and health concerns. We reflect on how such pranks can have severe physical and emotional consequences, especially for those with strict diets like vegetarians and vegans. We also consider personal experiences with dietary changes and the societal lack of understanding that sometimes surrounds them. By sharing stories from both the podcast hosts and cultural references like a "Seinfeld" episode, we emphasize that respecting others' dietary preferences is crucial and not a matter for humor.

• AITA for wearing a white dress to my friend’s wedding?

Finally, we’re taken through a perplexing and emotional story of friendship and betrayal, revolving around the age-old faux pas of wearing a white dress to a wedding. A woman recounts how she wore a white dress to her friend Charlotte's wedding, a decision she made after Charlotte specifically chose the dress for her, despite her own reservations. The story takes an unexpected turn when Charlotte reveals that this was a loyalty test, leading to an explosive confrontation. We explore the bewildering nature of this "friendship test" and question the motives behind such a move, particularly after the support and financial help given by the narrator. We discuss the unrealistic expectations set by Charlotte, the extravagant nature of the wedding, and how a potential moment of laughter turned into a public fallout. We question the essence of true friendship and the absurdity of testing loyalty in such a dramatic fashion.
