I guess the Bond movies are prime material for this thread: After traveling to a foreign city, I shot several men at a campground. Later I helped someone shoot a man sneaking through a window. I visited an office to fetch some equipment. On the journey back I met a man I thought was a colleague, then I killed him. Later I checked into a hotel, then killed one of their staff. ETA: AITA? ---

A wealthy man tried to save me from a life of drugs, but I repaid him by sleeping with his wife and getting the police to kill him. And I charged all my expenses to the Underhills, too. AiTA? ---

I am what one would call a rich man, and as such I get to indulge in my passions. I like to collect things, not for their value as wealth, but for their intrinsic beauty. I came up with a business plan to increase the rarity of my collection by making other people’s less valuable. But a rival decided on his own that my plan was unsound. And this after I ran it past a group of business associates, who, after the very detailed and well made presentation, were all in total agreement! Now I admit my plan did cause some injuries, maybe even some deaths. Omelets, eggs, I did nothing others, even governments, haven’t done in the past. Now my rival has murdered my most loyal employee, and raped my second most valuable staff member. And they call _me_ the bad guy?? ---

> [@Chelonaut](#): > > I guess the Bond movies are prime material for this thread First of all, on the same morning I both threw a recently deceased man out of an aircraft and killed a disabled man in a wheelchair. Next I blew up someone who was just trying to move my car, which I had parked illegally on his boss’s property. Then I broke several traffic laws driving a new acquaintance’s car. I smashed a florist’s window and instead of helping I made a juvenile quip and walked off. I misused the facilities at a prestigious former Olympic ski jump. I almost ruined an ancient undersea archaeological site. And to top it all off I wilfully destroyed some extremely important government property. AITA? ---

I’m what one would call a “tech billionaire”. I make products for NASA and other space customers, but I also have branches in chemistry, biology and glassworks. Being a genius I can see that this world is in danger of destroying itself. I have generated a plan where I alone can save humanity. It involves some…collateral damage. Deaths may be involved. Omelets, eggs, I’ve done nothing that others, even governments, haven’t done before. But I have the safety of the white, er, the _human_ race as my ultimate goal. Some people cannot see thegenius of my vision, so I have had to remove them as obstacles to progress. I’m sure they would appreciate their contribution to the ultimate goal. AITA?
