YTA. First, you're 24 and your parents were still providing your supplies? Then your brother clued in and bought his own and you were using his?
How does it not occur to you to buy your own stuff instead of mooching off others? Yikes.
They are willing to pay for shared supplies. Not to supply your selfish feud.
Your brother is NOT willing to supply you with toiletries. And the entire problem here is that you assumed you could mooch off your brother the same way you expect to mooch off your parents.
OP… yes that is literally the exact point. And why your brother is pissed. HE buys his stuff, and you use it. YOUR PARENTS buy stuff for both of you. How hard is this to understand?
It IS the point.
Grow up. You have been an adult for 6 years (your brother for 2 years), yet you both are acting like tweens, at best.
Buy your own toiletries. At your age, you should be on your way to living on your own, anyway. Stop mooching off your parents and your brother.
YTA
Whoever pays for it gets to decide who uses it. Parents bought it? They can declare it’s for both of you. Brother bought it? He can declare it’s just for him. Buy it yourself? Forge your own destiny. You’re 24. Time to be a grownup.
What is the point ? You, at 24, are relying on Mummy, Daddy and brother just so you can have a shower and brush your teeth ? Jesus, man, that's pathetic.
Undoubtedly YTA.
No man, that's exactly the point here. You're a freeloader who refused to use his own money to buy anything, and instead acts entitled to other people's belongings while being a mooch.
Buy your own hygenine products, your 24 not 14 this just looks pathetic. YTA stop stealing from your brother and parents.
YTA
You started this mess by using his items and not paying for them. If you liked his shampoo and conditioner the solution was not to use less but keep mooching off him. The solution was to buy your own or offer to take turns buying products.
>So this time my parents went to the store I asked them to buy toothpaste
It's not yours. You haven't paid for shit.
We only have it because I asked for it, though.
It isn’t the point whose things are whose. My point is that doing it this way is just complicated and annoying and it worked better before
Nope. You have it because your parents resupply things whenever either of you ask for them.
>It isn’t the point whose things are whose.
You don't want that to be the point because you don't want to pay for anything. But you claiming that's not the point is actually absurd and it's completely the point.
>My point is that doing it this way is just complicated and annoying and it worked better before
You have the exact same system as before - anything your parents buy is shared. That's the same system. Anything you or he buy is personal and not shared. Just as before.
It worked better before because you're a mooching leech.
It DOES matter whose things are whose. He's buying things for himself, he's earning for himself. Anything your parents buy has been shared property till now, so a mooch like you doesn't get to violate that.
Wow your entire attitude is absolutely pathetic, gross, and so entitled.
Yes, but your parents paid for it so reasonable expectation it is shared by both their children.
This isn't the win you think it is. Your brother has honoured the arrangement - only the buyer gets to use it - and only he actually buys products you both like. He adds toothpaste to his basket at the cost of a few dollars, keeps his good products to himself, and shrugs his shoulders.
You keep using the inferior products bought by your parents and subject to their cost-value decisions. You want good stuff, you buy it.
What do you not understand about the fact that you are a useless mooch in your own house? Grow tf up dude, you are 24, not 14. You should be very embarrassed about yourself.
The point is exactly who's things are who's, and NONE of them are yours, they're your parents, because you're a mooch, and your brother's, because he bought his own. Stop acting like a whole child, you are 24 years old, not 14.
Awww poor baby , crying because your little brother doesn’t want to share … so sad
Get up off your grown ass and buy your own things. It’s easy to mooch off other people and then complain when they have an issue with it. It’s only complicated and annoying because now *you* have to get your own shit .
Grow up man. Stop mooching off your younger brother and parents. You’re on a fast track to entitled loser-dom.
It worked for you because you weren’t buying anything! Why didn’t you ask him if you could contribute to the cost of some of the bathroom supplies so that you could share it without an issue? Oh wait, I know why because you’re a mooch.
YTA - There is a big difference between him keeping things that HE paid for just for himself and you hoarding things that your PARENTS bought. If you like that shampoo so much, ask your mom to buy it for you. Or - and don't be too shocked - buy it yourself.
> The system worked better before
You have the same system as before. Anything your parents buy for you both to use is shared, as before. Anything you individually buy is not shared, as before.
“The system” was you using toiletries you hadn’t paid for. If you want to use expensive shampoo then buy it for yourself instead of being a mooch. It’s one thing if your parents are fine with buying $2 Suave shampoo and cheap toothpaste for the household.
If your brother starts buying HIMSELF a $30/bottle shampoo for his personal use that doesn’t magically make it household shampoo. And your mommy bought the toothpaste. It’s family toothpaste not special just for you toothpaste.
Grow up, start contributing and stop being a dick. YTA.
>I could buy it for myself but it’s expensive.
That's exactly why your brother doesn't want to share it with you. It's expensive, and he's the only one paying for it.
>
The system worked better before, and I’m just trying to show that
The system worked better before for you because you got the benefit of using an expensive product without having to pay for it. The system didn't work better for your brother because he was paying for an expensive product and only getting to use half of it.
It's bad enough that your mommy and daddy are paying for your personal grooming products when you're 24 years old, but it's just sad and pathetic that you're mooching off your younger brother. The fact that you think that you "basically bought" the toothpaste because you asked your mommy to buy it for you is delusional.
Either go back to using the cheaper products that your parents provided to you for free, split the cost of the expensive products with your brother, or buy the expensive products yourself.
The system worked for you, not for him. Stop being a parasite. Either buy your own stuff or share the stuff that your parents buy. Your brother gets to keep anything that he buys.
You are so obviously the a-hole. It's weird that you have to ask.
The system worked better before? You mean him buying stuff you using it and then not paying him anything? Because the toothpaste wasnt yours you didnt buy it. His supplies were yours you didnt buy them. So idk what system you think you had. Unless you think the system of your parents buying all the toiletries is the system which worked better? You mean the toiletries you refuse to use or ask your parents to buy again (idk why they are buying your toiletries but w.e.). But that is just nonsense.
The "system" worked better before because you didn't pay for anything. You just mooched off your parents and your brother. Get a job. Buy your own crap. YTA
> But Roger started buying supplies for himself, and those worked really good for him and for me.
> the shampoo and conditioner that he bought was perfect for my hair
So by the sounds of things, Roger stopped getting ordinary cheap stuff and started paying extra for stuff that does a better job?
And then you hid the completely non-luxury/cosmetic item, toothpaste.
Just read one of your comments:
> I could buy it for myself but it’s expensive. The system worked better before
So yeah, Roger decided to upgrade, and you want to benefit from his extra spending while giving nothing extra in return.
YTA, pretty obvious.
YTA
Roger actually purchased the items he kept in his room... HE wasn't as into providing your self-care supplies as your parents apparently are... Which is his right - he doesn't have to share his upgraded supplies with you, especially as you're acting so entitled to them.
You didn't even buy the toothpaste you hid.
It's beyond petty for a 24 year old man to hide the toothpaste his mommy and daddy bought him in his bedroom, so that his younger brother will have to buy his own...
Right? A tube of toothpaste is like $5. This isn’t the flex OP thinks it is. Roger will just go buy himself a tube of toothpaste and move on with his day & OP will still not get to use Roger’s fancy shampoo.
YTA
You sure you got those ages right? This reads like how a 10 year old and a 6 year old interact with each other, not people who are suppose to be adults.
Your brother has every right to deny you access to things he bought. It's his money. Besides what kind of "adult" can't afford to buy himself basic hygiene supplies and runs to mom and dad crying when brother is a big meanie about shampoo
YTA
> we shared shower supplies, toothpaste, etc. that our parents bought
FFS it wasn't even **your** toothpaste.
> the shampoo and conditioner that he bought was perfect for my hair
Who cares? Was never yours to use in the first place.
YTA why are you acting like a kid you are a grown ass man go earn money like your brother and buy your own supplies.For how long you gonna depend on your parents
You’re allegedly a 24 year old man who is hiding toothpaste that your mother and father bought for you and your younger brother to share.
You no longer want to use the basic shampoo and soap because your younger brother starting buying better stuff that he was willing to share with you, until he realised you were using quite a lot of it. Rather than buying your own good stuff, or making some kind of arrangement like you alternate the purchases, you whine and moan about it.
YTA - obviously
Info: what’s your problem!?
YTA your parents are buying your supplies at the age of 24 and you're acting like a petty school child. Buy your own stuff and keep it in your room, or better yet move into your own place and buy all of your own stuff and you won't have to share with anyone.
YTA-Why can't you buy your own stuff? Why is it up to your parents or brother to provide bathroom supplies? Like shampoo or hair conditioner? You say they were perfect for your hair..., well, what's stopping you from going down to the store and buying some of them yourself? I'm sorry, but you come across as incredibly entitled.
YTA
Items your parents purchase are shared. Items individually purchased by anyone for themselves are not
Sounds like you got three options
1) use whatever shampoo and conditioner your parents buy
2) buy your own shampoo and conditioner
3) move out and support your adult self
His conditioner and shampoo were perfect for your hair and so you deserve to have them, right? Your sandwich looks good, I deserve to have that shit, give it to me.
Do you see how that's fucked up or should I come up with a more absurd example.
How are you twenty four and still fighting with your brother over sharing toothpaste? How exhausted must your parents be?
YTA. Damn.
YTA He bought that stuff with his own money, that’s why he wants only himself to use it. I don’t understand why you’re in your 20’s and not buying your own toiletries. It’s also weird that your younger brother is more mature than you.
YTA. When you found out that his preferred brands of shampoo etc were good for your hair, you should have either asked to use it and taken turns buying them from then on, or bought your own separately. This "I tried to be polite and start using less of it" - makes no sense.
Also, you lied to hima bout who bought the toothpaste. Childish and selfish.
YTA and god, so entitled.
>This was annoying to me since the shampoo and conditioner that he bought was perfect for my hair and he was just hiding it away from me.
How about you buy your own shampoo and conditioner?
Also, you didn't buy that toothpaste. Your parents did, you're not the only one who gets to use it. You seem to be uselessly slouching in your home doing nothing; maybe get a job and buy your own supplies.
YTA for hiding shared supplies paid for by your parents. Your brother is hiding supplies he bought for himself.
Want your own things, you have to pay for them.
YTA. Why do you think that you are you the injured party here? You didn’t even buy the toothpaste that you hid in your room. If your brother’s shampoo and conditioner work for your hair, just buy your own. 24 is old enough to provide your own toiletries at the very least.
YTA. Your parents paid for the toothpaste but Roger paid for his supplies himself. He doesn't have to share what he paid for. Put the toothpaste back in the bathroom, AH. If you like that particular shampoo and conditioner so much, either buy it yourself or ask your parents to buy it.
“He asked if I bought it and I said basically yes”
Basically where? Your post says that your parents buy the two of you shared supplies and that your parents bought the toothpaste.
I'm the youngest if 4, and my brother (3rd youngest) would always grab my stuff, use it, and never replace it. He was just a leech who took from all if us with the excuse of "we live together, so it's fair use" whenever we'd call him out for using my things that I paid for.
20 years later, none of us lend him anything because we don't trust him and he complains that we're too selfish and don't care about him. I just play the tiniest violin ever when he start whining.
YTA. You're a mooch. Your brother was the one paying for his own supplies; you never paid for anything. Then you kept using too much of it. You got your mommy and daddy to pay for it because you couldn't even be bothered to pay for it yourself. You're greedy and selfish. Grow up, asshole.

I (M24) live at home with my parents and my brother Roger (M20). Roger and I share a bathroom. Up until about 6 months ago, we had a good routine where we shared shower supplies, toothpaste, etc. that our parents bought. But Roger started buying supplies for himself, and those worked really good for him and for me. Then last month, he started taking the supplies that he bought and keeping them in his room, saying that I “used too much” of it and that he was tired of paying for both of our stuff. I tried to be polite and start using less of it, but he started shutting me down and not letting me use any of it. This was annoying to me since the shampoo and conditioner that he bought was perfect for my hair and he was just hiding it away from me.
The only item left that we both share is toothpaste, but I’ve finally had enough. So this time my parents went to the store I asked them to buy toothpaste, and I “reserved” it and took it into my room. Yesterday Roger asked me where the toothpaste was and I said that it’s mine, I’ll let him borrow it for today but after that I’m not letting him use it. He just stared at me and asked if I was the one that bought it and I said basically yes. He just sighed and said “alright man” and took the toothpaste. True to my word I took it back this morning but Roger literally *complained to our parents* about this and said he’s fine with buying his own toothpaste he just thinks I’m petty. I think I’m allowed to be petty after he started it first, restricting me from the bathroom supplies. Besides, he’d clearly rather each have our own stuff so I don’t see the issue at all. Am I the asshole for this?

YTA and a selfish mooch. Why should your brother share HIS supplies HE bought?! The toothpaste wasn’t bought for you, and you don’t get to hoard it away. buy your own stuff
If this post is real you’re behaviour is embarrassing and you’re a mooch. How could you really post this on the internet? Do you have no shame? Stop being such a petty mooch.
I'm 31. I moved out at 18. By 24 I had a college degree, my own apartment and car, and a job. This blows my mind that you're 24. So childish. Get a job and grow up. Yta
YTA. Obviously.
Do you have a job? Do you contribute at all to the household? I don’t understand how you feel the entitlement you do. I’d love for your parents to kick you out so that you could have a nice reality check.
YTA. My guy, this is petty. You were inconveniencing your brother by forcing him to spend more money on products that you refuse to buy because they're expensive. I don't understand how you feel you're in the right and you were wronged.
Just think, if you don't want to supply yourself with these products, why would roger want to spend the money supplying you with these products?
Instead, you get your parents to buy 3 dollar toothpaste and hoard it? Firstly, I'm sure he can just buy his own tooth paste. But secondly and more importantly, this level of unashamed entitlement is not a good look on anyone but you're 24.
I sympathize with your family because I can't imagine with this mentality, that you'll have any real success in life, personally or professionally. I'm concerned they're going to be footing the bill perpetually until they either give up on you or die.
Don't be a waste, you can be so much better than the fella you are now.
YTA I’m betting whatever shampoo conditioner he’s buying is nicer than the stuff your parents buy. And for hiding toothpaste you didn’t even pay for, it’s not petty, it’s laughably childish
I refuse to believe this is real. For my own sanity, I refuse to believe a 24 year old man living with and off of his parents is *this* unaware of how spoiled and entitled he is.

Lmfao "I just think the system we had before worked better" yea because you weren't paying for anything because you rely on Mommy, Daddy and your YOUNGER BROTHER to buy shit for you to use. 😂😂 What a fucking prize you will be 🙄 yes YTA and pathetic as fuck lol
YTA
Unless you went to the store & bought the toothpaste with your money, it is not yours & should not be in your room.
If you want to keep your personal bathroom supplies in your room, *buy them yourself*. You know, like your younger brother managed to figure out.
You're 24, you are way too old to be acting so childishly.
YTA.
You say the shampoo is "expensive" so you don't want to buy it for yourself. How do you not realize it's twice as expensive to buy when there's two people using it instead of just one?
Buy it your damned self if you're that upset. Good lord. How are you fucking 24 and not buying your own shit?! Your parents being willing to buy isn't the point, YOU SHOULD BUY YOUR. OWN STUFF. Act like the adult you're supposed to be.
Oh jeez- you typed all that out and can’t see how YTA?! Let me explain it like you are 5- your parents bought communal toiletries, those are for you both to use. Your younger brother bought some of his own toiletries, those are for his use. If you would like to buy your own then do so.
Right now you are acting like an entitled child trapped in an adult’s body and it’s time to grow up. Seriously.

It kind of is since you told your brother that you basically bought the toothpaste but you hadn’t.

It worked better for you. That’s obviously not the case for your brother. You’re 24. This is childish. YTA
I somehow skipped the 24 and was thinking a 12 year old wrote this XD
LOL same!

There’s no way you’re 24 LMAO

You sound like a child not a full grown adult
Have you considered, ya know, paying for what you use?
Awww poor baby , crying because your little brother doesn’t want to share … so sad Get up off your grown ass and buy your own things. It’s easy to mooch off other people and then complain when they have an issue with it. It’s only complicated and annoying because now *you* have to get your own shit . Grow up man. Stop mooching off your younger brother and parents. You’re on a fast track to entitled loser-dom.
Guess what? You can dramatically simplify things by... buying your own toiletries like a grown-ass adult!
What an immature point to make
Yeah, getting bought stuff is easier than having to buy it yourself. That tends to stop when you become an adult though. Grow up.
It worked for you because you weren’t buying anything! Why didn’t you ask him if you could contribute to the cost of some of the bathroom supplies so that you could share it without an issue? Oh wait, I know why because you’re a mooch.

Yeah, it worked better when you were mooching off of Roger instead of mooching off your parents.
You’re 24, don’t you have a job?
If you can’t afford to buy it yourself, how about you find a job?
The "system" worked better before because you didn't pay for anything. You just mooched off your parents and your brother. Get a job. Buy your own crap. YTA
The system where you mooched off of your little brother’s toiletries and paid nothing. Of course that worked for you.
Expensive? It’s a basic necessity. How is $12-20 bucks on a hygiene necessity that’ll last like a month or more expensive?
> But Roger started buying supplies for himself, and those worked really good for him and for me. > the shampoo and conditioner that he bought was perfect for my hair So by the sounds of things, Roger stopped getting ordinary cheap stuff and started paying extra for stuff that does a better job? And then you hid the completely non-luxury/cosmetic item, toothpaste. Just read one of your comments: > I could buy it for myself but it’s expensive. The system worked better before So yeah, Roger decided to upgrade, and you want to benefit from his extra spending while giving nothing extra in return. YTA, pretty obvious.
YTA Roger actually purchased the items he kept in his room... HE wasn't as into providing your self-care supplies as your parents apparently are... Which is his right - he doesn't have to share his upgraded supplies with you, especially as you're acting so entitled to them. You didn't even buy the toothpaste you hid. It's beyond petty for a 24 year old man to hide the toothpaste his mommy and daddy bought him in his bedroom, so that his younger brother will have to buy his own...
Right? A tube of toothpaste is like $5. This isn’t the flex OP thinks it is. Roger will just go buy himself a tube of toothpaste and move on with his day & OP will still not get to use Roger’s fancy shampoo.
YTA You sure you got those ages right? This reads like how a 10 year old and a 6 year old interact with each other, not people who are suppose to be adults. Your brother has every right to deny you access to things he bought. It's his money. Besides what kind of "adult" can't afford to buy himself basic hygiene supplies and runs to mom and dad crying when brother is a big meanie about shampoo
YTA > we shared shower supplies, toothpaste, etc. that our parents bought FFS it wasn't even **your** toothpaste. > the shampoo and conditioner that he bought was perfect for my hair Who cares? Was never yours to use in the first place.
YTA why are you acting like a kid you are a grown ass man go earn money like your brother and buy your own supplies.For how long you gonna depend on your parents
You’re allegedly a 24 year old man who is hiding toothpaste that your mother and father bought for you and your younger brother to share. You no longer want to use the basic shampoo and soap because your younger brother starting buying better stuff that he was willing to share with you, until he realised you were using quite a lot of it. Rather than buying your own good stuff, or making some kind of arrangement like you alternate the purchases, you whine and moan about it. YTA - obviously Info: what’s your problem!?
YTA your parents are buying your supplies at the age of 24 and you're acting like a petty school child. Buy your own stuff and keep it in your room, or better yet move into your own place and buy all of your own stuff and you won't have to share with anyone.
YTA-Why can't you buy your own stuff? Why is it up to your parents or brother to provide bathroom supplies? Like shampoo or hair conditioner? You say they were perfect for your hair..., well, what's stopping you from going down to the store and buying some of them yourself? I'm sorry, but you come across as incredibly entitled.
YTA. You are way too old to behave so childishly.
YTA Items your parents purchase are shared. Items individually purchased by anyone for themselves are not Sounds like you got three options 1) use whatever shampoo and conditioner your parents buy 2) buy your own shampoo and conditioner 3) move out and support your adult self
Time to grow up, little man. YTA
His conditioner and shampoo were perfect for your hair and so you deserve to have them, right? Your sandwich looks good, I deserve to have that shit, give it to me. Do you see how that's fucked up or should I come up with a more absurd example. How are you twenty four and still fighting with your brother over sharing toothpaste? How exhausted must your parents be? YTA. Damn.
Well, they raised the mooch so they are lying in the bed they made.
YTA He bought that stuff with his own money, that’s why he wants only himself to use it. I don’t understand why you’re in your 20’s and not buying your own toiletries. It’s also weird that your younger brother is more mature than you.
YTA. When you found out that his preferred brands of shampoo etc were good for your hair, you should have either asked to use it and taken turns buying them from then on, or bought your own separately. This "I tried to be polite and start using less of it" - makes no sense. Also, you lied to hima bout who bought the toothpaste. Childish and selfish.
YTA and god, so entitled. >This was annoying to me since the shampoo and conditioner that he bought was perfect for my hair and he was just hiding it away from me. How about you buy your own shampoo and conditioner? Also, you didn't buy that toothpaste. Your parents did, you're not the only one who gets to use it. You seem to be uselessly slouching in your home doing nothing; maybe get a job and buy your own supplies.
YTA for hiding shared supplies paid for by your parents. Your brother is hiding supplies he bought for himself. Want your own things, you have to pay for them.
YTA. Why do you think that you are you the injured party here? You didn’t even buy the toothpaste that you hid in your room. If your brother’s shampoo and conditioner work for your hair, just buy your own. 24 is old enough to provide your own toiletries at the very least.
Everyone in my house has their own stuff
YTA. Your parents paid for the toothpaste but Roger paid for his supplies himself. He doesn't have to share what he paid for. Put the toothpaste back in the bathroom, AH. If you like that particular shampoo and conditioner so much, either buy it yourself or ask your parents to buy it.
“He asked if I bought it and I said basically yes” Basically where? Your post says that your parents buy the two of you shared supplies and that your parents bought the toothpaste.
Get your own stuff. You’re a mooch
There’s no way we’re the same age, you act like a child bro 😭
I'm the youngest if 4, and my brother (3rd youngest) would always grab my stuff, use it, and never replace it. He was just a leech who took from all if us with the excuse of "we live together, so it's fair use" whenever we'd call him out for using my things that I paid for. 20 years later, none of us lend him anything because we don't trust him and he complains that we're too selfish and don't care about him. I just play the tiniest violin ever when he start whining.
YTA, you didn’t pay for it so you can’t decided is only for you, grow up.
YATAH x1000! Also, SELFISH & GREEDY!!! Go buy shampoo and leave it in the bathroom because the system worked.
YTA. You're a mooch. Your brother was the one paying for his own supplies; you never paid for anything. Then you kept using too much of it. You got your mommy and daddy to pay for it because you couldn't even be bothered to pay for it yourself. You're greedy and selfish. Grow up, asshole.
Mate, your younger brother is much more mature than you. How embarrassing.

Read [this](https://www.reddit.com/r/AmItheAsshole/wiki/faq#wiki_post_deletion) before [contacting the mod team](https://www.reddit.com/message/compose?to=%2Fr%2FAmItheAsshole)*** I (M24) live at home with my parents and my brother Roger (M20). Roger and I share a bathroom. Up until about 6 months ago, we had a good routine where we shared shower supplies, toothpaste, etc. that our parents bought. But Roger started buying supplies for himself, and those worked really good for him and for me. Then last month, he started taking the supplies that he bought and keeping them in his room, saying that I “used too much” of it and that he was tired of paying for both of our stuff. I tried to be polite and start using less of it, but he started shutting me down and not letting me use any of it. This was annoying to me since the shampoo and conditioner that he bought was perfect for my hair and he was just hiding it away from me. The only item left that we both share is toothpaste, but I’ve finally had enough. So this time my parents went to the store I asked them to buy toothpaste, and I “reserved” it and took it into my room. Yesterday Roger asked me where the toothpaste was and I said that it’s mine, I’ll let him borrow it for today but after that I’m not letting him use it. He just stared at me and asked if I was the one that bought it and I said basically yes. He just sighed and said “alright man” and took the toothpaste. True to my word I took it back this morning but Roger literally *complained to our parents* about this and said he’s fine with buying his own toothpaste he just thinks I’m petty. I think I’m allowed to be petty after he started it first, restricting me from the bathroom supplies. Besides, he’d clearly rather each have our own stuff so I don’t see the issue at all. Am I the asshole for this? *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

I mean, as a grown up, you should really be procuring your own grooming supplies and not mooching off those around you.
Yes yes yes you need to be a big boy and buy your own Hygeine the folks already pay the rent utilities and food I’m guessing
yta You are being petty.
And you are 24?
You are a pathetic mooch asshole. And making this post may be the most pathetic thing about you.
YTA and a selfish mooch. Why should your brother share HIS supplies HE bought?! The toothpaste wasn’t bought for you, and you don’t get to hoard it away. buy your own stuff
If this post is real you’re behaviour is embarrassing and you’re a mooch. How could you really post this on the internet? Do you have no shame? Stop being such a petty mooch.
YTA. Grow up.
I'm 31. I moved out at 18. By 24 I had a college degree, my own apartment and car, and a job. This blows my mind that you're 24. So childish. Get a job and grow up. Yta
Imagine this kid’s poor parents, they already know he’s going to be living there as a bum until the day they die.
YTA. Obviously. Do you have a job? Do you contribute at all to the household? I don’t understand how you feel the entitlement you do. I’d love for your parents to kick you out so that you could have a nice reality check.
YTA. My guy, this is petty. You were inconveniencing your brother by forcing him to spend more money on products that you refuse to buy because they're expensive. I don't understand how you feel you're in the right and you were wronged. Just think, if you don't want to supply yourself with these products, why would roger want to spend the money supplying you with these products? Instead, you get your parents to buy 3 dollar toothpaste and hoard it? Firstly, I'm sure he can just buy his own tooth paste. But secondly and more importantly, this level of unashamed entitlement is not a good look on anyone but you're 24. I sympathize with your family because I can't imagine with this mentality, that you'll have any real success in life, personally or professionally. I'm concerned they're going to be footing the bill perpetually until they either give up on you or die. Don't be a waste, you can be so much better than the fella you are now.
Are you actually 24? And you don't feel even slightly embarrassed about this post and your behavior?
YTA.
YTA, you act like you are 14 instead of 24. Get a job and buy your own toothpaste or even better, move out.
YTA I’m betting whatever shampoo conditioner he’s buying is nicer than the stuff your parents buy. And for hiding toothpaste you didn’t even pay for, it’s not petty, it’s laughably childish
Bro you're 24. Grow up. Jesus christ you're acting like a fucking child. YTA ETA judgement
Am I 10 years old?
Am I 10 years old?
I refuse to believe this is real. For my own sanity, I refuse to believe a 24 year old man living with and off of his parents is *this* unaware of how spoiled and entitled he is.
YTA and a loser

Lmfao "I just think the system we had before worked better" yea because you weren't paying for anything because you rely on Mommy, Daddy and your YOUNGER BROTHER to buy shit for you to use. 😂😂 What a fucking prize you will be 🙄 yes YTA and pathetic as fuck lol
This should be in choosing beggers lol
Wow. Reeeeeal gem. YTA
YTA Unless you went to the store & bought the toothpaste with your money, it is not yours & should not be in your room. If you want to keep your personal bathroom supplies in your room, *buy them yourself*. You know, like your younger brother managed to figure out. You're 24, you are way too old to be acting so childishly.
YTA. You say the shampoo is "expensive" so you don't want to buy it for yourself. How do you not realize it's twice as expensive to buy when there's two people using it instead of just one? Buy it your damned self if you're that upset. Good lord. How are you fucking 24 and not buying your own shit?! Your parents being willing to buy isn't the point, YOU SHOULD BUY YOUR. OWN STUFF. Act like the adult you're supposed to be.
Oh jeez- you typed all that out and can’t see how YTA?! Let me explain it like you are 5- your parents bought communal toiletries, those are for you both to use. Your younger brother bought some of his own toiletries, those are for his use. If you would like to buy your own then do so. Right now you are acting like an entitled child trapped in an adult’s body and it’s time to grow up. Seriously.

LMFAO, YTA! He is using his money for his stuff. How about you buy some stuff of your own or chip in with him? You are ridiculous.
[удалено]
How exactly is OP's brother TA?
[удалено]
The parents bought the toothpaste for both of them to use.
The brother reasonably asked where the toothpaste his parents usually bought was. Was lied to by OP that he had bought it and so was keeping it in room. Brother accepted that and moved on. That isn't action of a AH.
