Gossip is one of those things that most people recognize as bad, but they still partake in it from time to time.

What happens when someone who is always gossiping asks you not to tell anyone about a problem in their life?

That’s what happened to the woman in this story, and she really let her sister have it and wants to know if she was wrong to do so.

Read on for the full details.

AITA for bringing up my sister hypocrisy?

My sister likes to gossip about everything and everyone.

She’s having a rough day.

Recently my sister lost her job and had to move back in with my parents and she had her car repossessed while I was over.

She parked it on the street and my dad and I went out to ask and the tow tucked driver said it was for non payment.

My sister was crying and embarrassing and swore us not to tell anybody in the family about it.

Wow, really putting salt in her wounds.

I asked my sister “why, you don’t want people talking about you how you talk about everyone else?”

My sister turned on me saying how could I say that to her when the worst thing ever just happened to her?

She’s not wrong I guess.

I told my sister that she never once stopped to consider maybe other people are having the worst time ever and how my sister would gladly share that information about cheating, substance abuse, divorce, and job loss with anyone who would listen and now it’s my sister’s turn.

My mom told me enough so I left.

I think my sister should have thought about what the person was going through before she would share the latest family gossip but my mom thinks I was rude and that wasn’t the time or place to put my sister down.

AITA?

It was really mean, but it sounds like it was also well-deserved.

Let’s see if the people in the comments agree.

The timing was perfect.

People hate being called out on their behavior.

LOL – Exactly!

Oh, this is a great way to put it.

They never see the damage they cause.

Hello actions, meet consequences.

It can be a tough moment for anyone.
