I'll start.

AIBU to be pissed off with my recluse sister?

My sister is an introvert to the point where she won't even speak to me anymore. We live together but I literally don't see her from one day to the next and TBH I'd like a bit of company. Also it's bloody cold in our house, especially walking past DSis room, anyone got any recommendations for portable heaters? Preferably from John Lewis.

So but of background. I'm 27, live in a big city and from quite a wealthy background. Not to blow my own trumpet but I'm incredibly successful, good looking and impeccably dressed. Sometimes though, I feel completely disconnected and although I fit in, I feel like I'm just going through the motions. I have a girlfriend but we have nothing in common apart from being rich and good looking.

Lately I've been feeling kind of impulsive and have suffered some anxiety. I'm also concerned I'm not sure if I've murdered around 30 people, mainly homeless people and attractive young women.

Also it's the 80s and I have severe concerns my business card isn't as good as it should be.

Posted too soon!!!! AIBU to just go and buy some more Jean Paul Gautier overnight bags, work out a bit and try and forget about the whole killing spree thing? Have some me time? I think the worry is affecting my looks.

I'm on holiday at the minute. I'll be honest it's not what I expected. The cottage is run down, there's no lights and we are freezing. We've got not no fuel or wood and I had to blag a chicken off a farmer earlier so we had something to eat (no supermarkets!). Bloody thing was alive so we kill it before it made friends with us!

The main thing is though is my friend who I'm here with is constantly pissed. It's his uncles cottage too so I feel like I can't complain. We've come here because London life was getting too much. Too many drugs, strange people who thought 'our hair are our ariels' and no work (I'm an actor). AIBU to tell him to get his act together?

I’d always known I didn’t quite fit in where I grew up but I recently found out that the person I thought was my dad wasn’t my dad. Turns out I was given up for adoption when I was a baby.

So I went off to New York City to find my real dad! And I thought everything would be wonderful, and we’d go ice skating, but he’s not how I expected. He doesn’t hug people and he drinks this horrible bitter liquid called coffee. I love him because he’s my dad - AIBU to stay here even though he seems mad at me?

Also I’ve got a job at a local department store and I really like one of my co-workers. WIBU to ask her to come and eat food with me?

So this happened to me today....

I run this big house. Today we had loads of foreign VIPs in. Queue pandemonium on the lawns with explosions and people invading my house! I ended up locked in this little bunker with a few mates with some some of these home invaders trying to get some sort of code me off me for a nuclear bomb!! Who even knew I had those!! Anyway, a really good pal who used to work for me cane to the rescue. He used to work for me and was with me the night my wife died in a car crash and she ended up in a river in her car because of snow. He’s fucking awesome that guy, I think I’ll give him an award.

Anyway got out the bunker in the end and my house is a tip! Youd never have thought it used to be white FFS. Never inviting those VIPs again.

So I was working as a ladies companion in Montecarlo when my employer became ill. I was very bored and started to accept days out with a dashing older man, i fell in love and we married. He took me back to his stately home and estate. It's all very formal and I'm finding it difficult to manage the housekeeper who clearly thinks I'm not a patch on my husbands late wife. Everyone talks about how beautiful she was but my husband really clams up and won't talk about her at all. She often took her boat out alone and that is how she died. The housekeeper really gives me the creeps i think she hates me.

Backstory, I've just returned from war. My new boss is a right bastard, and has a real chip on his shoulder. Now he's developed an obsession with the woman I fancy (who doesn't work with us, but who we know through work), to the point she's hiding from him. I'm not sure how interested she is in me, or if she even is. Obviously I know she has a lot of other stuff on her mind atm... My boss has a disabled adopted adult son, who's friends with the woman in question (she saved him from bullies once, and now he adores her and would do anything for her). He doesn't get along with his father, he doesn't trust me, and thinks I'm like him, and has probably told her so. At least the son seems like a nice kid, despite appearances. I don't think I'm a bad guy, and my boss hasn't asked me to do anything really terrible yet, so there may still be hope?

Aibu to want to protect her and go out of my way to help, or do you think she'd prefer to be left to handle things herself? I don't want her to think I'm a stalker or something. She's pretty ballsy and capable. I already interfered once, and she said it just made everything worse. My boss is a lot more powerful than me, and if I get on his bad side, I could loose my job or worse. Aibu [#2] to think this could all end quite badly for me, if I don't detach emotionally?
