Chapter 1: What are the hosts discussing about bullying?
Hello, welcome to Smosh Reads Reddit Stories. I'm Shane, and today we've got some classic Am I the Asshole stories. A lot of bullies this episode, so prepare yourselves. I'm joined by two people who are not bullies. You don't know that. I'm joined by one bully.
Yeah, I'm gonna just say, nice hair. and you don't know which way I mean that. So now you don't know whether I'm Schrodinger's bully.
The compliment bully. Yeah. Pretty good. I like how you just wear whatever. Cool slaps, dude.
Yeah. Oh, I had something like that last year.
And before we move on, a reminder that tomorrow is the last day to buy tickets for our live show. To get the VOD, go to live.smosh.com and you can watch Smosh Reads Reddit Stories Live. It was a great time. What was your favorite part of the show? It's probably that one part when everything and it all happened and it was really good. Oh, it's so good. Yeah, it's definitely happened.
As of reading this, we've definitely done it. So it was definitely cool.
For sure.
Anyways. Tommy, Damien, thank you for being here. Thank you. What? I realize I never said your name, so people listening didn't know who you were. Oh. I feel like they could sense it, though.
Yeah, our aura. Yeah. Yeah. Just unstoppable. Cool guy. Riz, I guess. Yeah. Okay.

Chapter 2: Why does someone refuse to stop using a Pokemon lunchbox at work?
So no one else could bully me. I'll talk about it in therapy. Our first story is an Am I the Asshole? Yes. Am I the asshole for refusing to stop using my embarrassing lunchbox at work? I, a 28-year-old man, bring my lunch to work every day in a bright blue Pokemon lunchbox. I've had it for years, and I don't think much about it.
It's just the perfect size, keeps my food cold, and honestly, I think it's kind of fun. Recently, a new coworker, Matt, who's 35, started making comments about it. At first, it was just joking around. Stuff like, nice lunchbox, dude, my kid has the same one. Whatever, I laughed it off. But then he kept bringing it up, saying it was unprofessional, and that I should grow up and get a real lunch bag.
I told him I didn't see the issue and that it's literally just a lunchbox. But last week, he took it further, telling me in front of our coworkers that it was weird for a grown man to be carrying around kid stuff. I told him he should worry less about my lunchbox and more about his own life.
Now he's been acting cold toward me, and a couple of coworkers said I was being too harsh, that he was just messing around. But I don't see why I should change something harmless just because one guy thinks it's weird. Am I the asshole?
No! Unless there's way more information.
Yeah, I mean, unless it's the naked Pokemon lunchbox, I think it's... What? Where can I buy it?
Yeah, I was about to say, where do you even get that?
It's so funny to hear about different types of workplaces, because we work here, right? Which is just such a different environment from any job.
If someone brought in that lunchbox, we'd be like, oh shit, that's a sick-ass box, dude.

Chapter 3: What happened with the wrong cookie incident?
I think it's great. Okay.
There's a cool vibe. I agree with you.
With the gold and the whisker.
Yeah, like as a Pokemon, garbage. The no brain. Gyarados was one of my favorites as a kid, though.
Well, he's freaking rock and roll.
Very confusing.
Absolutely badass.
It's like flying in water, and you're like, I beg your unbelievable goddamn pardon. What did you say about that dragon? Right.
I know.

Chapter 4: Why did a boyfriend give an ultimatum over audiobooks?
It's a trust issue either way. Right, yeah. It's, you know, there are video games out there that are pornographic. So it's like, if he's gonna play video games in the other room, like, oh, I can't stop thinking about the potential of you doing that. It's like, you have to sort of have that separation with hobbies. And something tells me that
this is the type of person that would have the same kind of insecurity if she had a dodgeball local league that she would go to and be like, are you going there to meet guys? You have to have that level of trust or you're not ready for a relationship.
And to just try to put that type of control on someone. It's like, what do you think's gonna happen?
What are you doing? Yeah, what got me was the yank of the headphones. That's like a, just a little look-see, a little peek through to see how maybe violent this person might could be. And that's not a good sign. You should never yank on someone's thing.
Yeah, yeah, I agree. I agree. Unless they want it. Unless it's a consensual thing. We got new merch. We got new merch. Here we go. A shirt that says consensual yanking. Yanking. The Yankees have new merch ideas. The Yankee and the Yankeed. Yeah, the headphone polling is absolutely a red flag. Comments, or sorry, verdict is not the asshole, which I agree with. Comments, not the asshole.
You should reevaluate your relationship with him. He is acting insecure, jealous, and controlling. Don't stop doing what you are doing. Someone else said, he is completely out of line. Being jealous of audiobooks is next level insecurity. Not the asshole.
Can I add a little something to that? Yeah. When she said, this is a book for teens written by a literal Mormon, I think that might be Twilight. Probably.
And so she's listening to Twilight and he's like, you and your vampire wolf boyfriend and I hate it.
God, we're back in 2007. This guy. Hey. Someone said, this is a big red flag to me. Is he so insecure that he can't stand the idea of you listening to, gasp, another man? You weren't even listening to anything provocative when he did this, and he had that kind of reaction. Where is all his anger coming from?

Chapter 5: What was the outcome of the audiobook ultimatum?
Can't yank. Someone send that girl some AirPods.
Update. I forgot about that. This update came two months later. Do we have any predictions? They broke up. He's an author. You think they broke up? He's an author. He's insecure because he's like, it's not as good as my book.
The Good Intercourse Dragon by Kyle. Here you go. Just Kyle?
Just Kyle.
If I saw a book in the bookstore and there was one name.
Okay.
Uh-huh, very reasonable. All right, those are good odds. Yeah. Here we go. So it's been a while. I didn't think I would update because the original update would have been mostly us talking and working things out, agreeing that whenever he felt insecure, he could tell me and I could focus my attention on him for a while. It worked really great.
Well, until I found out he had been fucking his coworker, that is.
Well. There you go. You know what's crazy about that? It is a pretty big pattern where if someone is being unfaithful, they will often look at you and be like, I bet you're unfaithful. In fact, you're mean and you're unfaithful. Right, they're justifying their unfaithfulness.
