Woman Brings Sister-In-Law's Wallet To The Restaurant After she Conveniently Forgot It At Home
Slow-Pianist-4431 took to the "AITA" subreddit to narrate an incident that occurred between her and her sister-in-law, Amy, at a recent dinner. According to Slow-Pianist-4431, Amy has a habit of always wanting to eat at expensive restaurants each time she visits, but often forgets her wallet or has an excuse for why she can't pay her share of the bill.

Slow-Pianist-4431 has always taken care of the bills in the past and asked Amy to refund her, but she never does. Slow-Pianist-4431 said that Amy had suggested that, since she makes more money than her, it made more sense for her to foot the bills.
Slow-Pianist-4431 admitted that she indeed makes a decent amount of money but cannot afford to pay the bill every time. Recently, Amy booked an expensive restaurant, and Slow-Pianist-4431 informed her beforehand that she would not pay her bill.
When they were about to leave for the restaurant, Slow-Pianist-4431 pretended she had forgotten something and went back to take Amy's wallet. When they finished eating, Amy again said she couldn't pay her share because she had forgotten her wallet.
Slow-Pianist-4431 responded by bringing out the wallet. Amy was upset, claiming that Slow-Pianist-4431 had no right to grab her wallet. Now, Slow-Pianist-4431 wants the AITA community to judge whether she was an a-hole for taking Amy's wallet to the restaurant.

What do you think?
Feeling entitled to people's kindness is a dangerous mindset to have. It can lead to behaviors that are manipulative in nature, causing people to feel like they are being taken advantage of.
It is important to remember that kindness is a choice, not an obligation, and people are not required to show kindness or do favors for others. Respectful and honest communication is the best way to ask for help or favors from someone.
