Am I the a**hole for not explicitly identifying the punch I brought to my work event was non-alcoholic?

from Veritas Views (with Veritas Psychology Partners) · host Veritas Psychology Partners

This weekly podcast comes to you from Veritas Psychology Partners, Dr. Dan Kessler and Dr. Gayle MacBride. Your host selects a conversation from the internet forums that neither psychology has heard or read before, and they give their unrehearsed, unvarnished opinions--essentially answering the question, "just who is the a**hole here?" The host brings in feedback from internet commentors to round out the discussion, and we close out each episode with a bonus conversation about any number of things!
