I made a throwaway account and came up with this load of bullshit because I was wired and bored after everyone else left or crashed out after a house party.
From memory, I was NTA.
I once found my brother-in-law on Reddit because he posted a picture I recognized. I went to his post history to check if it was actually him and it was but he had posted a completely fake story to r/legaladvice. It was something about his landlord removing the door to the apartment to try and get rent or something. But my bil lived in a house he owned. It also wasn’t an old story he was repurposing either because I have known him since he moved out of his parents house. I never mentioned it or anything because I don’t care.
AITA for posting a fake story to AITA
NTA.
I’d be more shocked if someone told me their AITA post was 100% real lol
AITA, TIFU, and all those other “confession” subreddits were all creative writing subreddits anyways. It would be more shocking to find out one of the top upvoted posts there was actually real.
What sucks is that TIFU was decent before people started doing it… Malicious compliance started to decay at that level too in the last year or two

I didn’t know this - although it explains why no one called bullshit on my (pretty obviously made-up) story. I was a bit disappointed everyone ate it up, but I guess rules are rules. 🤷🏼♀️
