This guy has to know deep down that he's in the wrong here. People can tell themselves whatever story they want to hear, but seriously, in what universe could this guy be in the right? Selling footage of your girlfriend's car accident as "education material" for driving students without her consent is quite possibly the biggest red flag I've come across on the Internet in quite some time.

 

He shared his side of the story via this thread on Reddit's r/AmITheA**hole subreddit, and even with his heavily biased framing, the truth was pretty easy to detect. The guy was being an idiot and clearly thought this was funny, amusing content he could share around with zero consequences. Well, sir. You very well may have just lost your girlfriend. At the very least, this will always be a bump in the road of your relationship and one that certainly caused her to call her trust in you into question.

    Font - AITA for posting a video of my girlfriend crashing her car on the internet A few months ago, my girlfriend crashed our car and swiped a parked car while getting out of the driveway and about a year ago she rear ended someone.

    Font - I posted the video from home security and the dashcam video for each incident on youtube as educational material in case it might help learner drivers etc. I got responses from some accident compilation video creators and gave them permission to use the videos.

    Font - There is nothing wrong with the videos, she did not do a hit and run or anything and dealt with both situations well. All then show is the accidents and her getting out of the car, putting her hands on her head and inspecting the damage.

    Font - Recently apparently someone sent anonymous messages to her and some of her friends and coworkers with a link to the video I uploaded. She got really mad at me and called me an AH for uploading the videos without asking her. However both camera systems were put by me and I manage the devices. She then accused me of sending the anonymous message when it was not me.

    Font - I have since deleted the video but some of her friends found the copies other people had included and teased her about it.

    Font - AITA here, I don't understand since it is not such a big deal, these things happen all the time and there are loads of similar videos on the internet, and it is not even that easy to recognize her especially in the home security video.

    Font - EDIT: Oh I get it I was the AH, I did not realize how embarrassing it would be for her as I post dashcam videos all the time. I will apologize to her again and make it up to her and take her some place nice.

    Font - HarveySnake 22 hr. ago YTA I'm calling bs on your "educational" took an embarrassing intent. You moment and uploaded it for the universe to see. Shared it with others. Without her consent. What did you think was going to happen? You need to contact everyone you gave permission to use the video and withdraw your consent. 18.2k Reply Share

    Font - BeJane759 · 22 hr. ago Yeah, the "it might help learner drivers" nonsense is clearly an AH trying to pretend they weren't being an AH. What will "learner drivers" glean from your super helpful video? "Don't crash"?? You were being an AH, you posted a video of your GF during an incident that you knew your GF found upsetting, without her consent. YTA 5.4k Reply Share

    Font - Almost ChristmasNow 20 hr. ago Exactly. If you're driving a car, "don't crash" shouldn't be a surprising idea. If it is, maybe reconsider whether you should be behind the wheel. 1.0k Reply Share

    Font - Cornwalleous_Dankson 22 hr. ago Your logic makes no sense, people don't need to watch a video to know not to mess up on some basic driving skills. You know that's not the real reason you did it, and we are insulted you think we are all fools here. You should do your wife a favor and divorce her, and tell her to find a better man.

    Font - capphasma92 · 22 hr. ago | YTA How hard is it to ask if she's okay with you posting the videos? It takes seconds to ask. 428 Reply Share

    Font - Papillon1985 22 hr. ago You say it's not easy to recognize her but obviously...someone did. So apparently not that hard. And as these things go, once it's online you lose control over it. So you put something embarrassing of hers online, permanently, without her permission, and it's now effecting her life. I'm going to go with...YTA. And also going to add a DUH for good measure. 390 Reply Share
