People Tell Us Their Alarming "Am I The Jerk?" Stories

I think by now we're all well aware that not every situation is bright and cheerful. Sometimes we come across people who are unkind or find ourselves in a spat with a loved one. While we wish we got along with everyone all the time, that's simply not possible. But it's not always a matter of protecting our energy from negative people; sometimes it comes down to how we react towards or respond to other people. We have a choice: we can choose to be the jerk first, stoop down to the other person's level to fight fire with fire, or be nice (or even a pushover depending on the situation). Can you guess how these people responded to their situation? YOU tell us who the jerk is. AITJ = Am I the jerk? NTJ = Not the jerk YTJ = You're the jerk WIBTJ = Would I be the jerk? EHS = Everyone here sucks
