One Reddit user, aljsdhnrthrow, wants to know whether they were in the wrong for stopping a teenager from shopping with her dad's card.

In the post, aljsdhnrthrow explained that she was shopping at a high-end department store when she overheard a teenager saying she would pay for an expensive pair of boots using her dad's card. According to aljsdhnrthrow, the teenager was shopping with a friend who expressed concern that the boots were way too expensive.

Aljsdhnrthrow said she has often cautioned her son not to use her card, so when she saw this teenager hoping to pay for the boots with her dad's card, she decided to intervene. At the register, when the teenager was about to swipe her card, aljsdhnrthrow informed the cashier that the card wasn't hers and that she doubted if the teenager had gotten her dad's permission to use the card.

The teenager was infuriated and claimed her dad had authorized her to shop with the card since it was owned by the store and awarded him points for usage. However, since aljsdhnrthrow pointed out that the card wasn't hers, the cashier was forced to tell the teenager that she couldn't use the card.

The teenager ended up paying with her own card and cried while leaving. When aljsdhnrthrow narrated the incident to her husband, he told her that she was in the wrong for not minding her own business.

Now, aljsdhnrthrow wants to get the AITA community's opinion on the incident. Below is how they responded.

What do you think?

It is best not to be quick in judging someone because there may be more to something than what meets the eye. Jumping to conclusions without considering all the facts and possibilities of a situation can lead to misunderstandings and hurt feelings.

When forming an opinion about a situation, it is important to keep an open mind and take the time to look at all angles before making a judgment. Everyone deserves the benefit of the doubt.
