If you misplaced something, couldn’t find it, and then saw another family member with it, would you ask for it back, or would you let them keep it?

This guy shares how he couldn’t find a hat he liked, but then he saw his father-in-law wearing it.

He didn’t think it was a big deal to ask for it back, but he quickly realized his mistake.

Check out the full story!

AITA for saying I wanted my possessions back from someone?

The title is a bit vague but let me elaborate.

I’m a 29M and my wife 25F are pretty close with her family.

Her dad came over the other day and he had a hat on I’ve been missing for some months.

This is where it gets weird!

I’ve looked for it intermittently ever since the day I lost it.

So in pure surprise I say “Hey there’s my hat?!”

He looked a bit confused.

I said “My hat I’ve been looking for that for months!”

He then pulls it off and he says, “ I thought you’ve known I’ve had it?” He claims “I’ve wore it around you several times?”.

UH OH…

Honestly I had not noticed if he had.

If he had then maybe I am TA but he asked me if I wanted it back and I said yes.

I bought this hat from work and it took 5 months to come in. I wore it for the first and only time to their house and must have left it.

When he gave it to me I said hey I can get you another one.

That’s INSANE!

I walked inside and was grabbing another hat for him but when I walked outside he was sobbing in tears leaving my drive way?

I’m now confused because everyone is upset with me for hurting his feelings.

I feel like the crime doesn’t equal the punishment.

He was not expecting that!

I offered him the hat back because had I known it would cause such a ruckus I would have never said anything.

He refused the hat saying I metaphorically took it off his head.

I’m not sure how to feel and I need a bit of a perception check.

YIKES! That sounds weird!
