A frustrated wedding guest requested compensation after they bought a bunch of food for one event during the weekend. The 28-year-old woman thought her request was reasonable until the bride accused her of being a “terrible friend.” Questioning whether she made the right decision, the woman took to Reddit’s popular confession forum, Am I The A**hole, to ask anonymous users if they thought she was wrong.

After making the switch, she matched with Krishna—whose London-based location was actually accurate—in April 2021.
