I made a throwaway account and came up with this load of bullshit because I was wired and bored after everyone else left or crashed out after a house party.

From memory, I was NTA.

    AITA, TIFU, and all those other “confession” subreddits were all creative writing subreddits anyways. It would be more shocking to find out one of the top upvoted posts there was actually real.

        Because they added a rule that you weren’t allowed to question the validity of posts. According to the mods it was more fun if you took the stories at face value, which meant that every post read like OP replaying the scenario in their head while showering and thinking about what they wish they said.

          I didn’t know this - although it explains why no one called bullshit on my (pretty obviously made-up) story. I was a bit disappointed everyone ate it up, but I guess rules are rules. 🤷🏼‍♀️
