In this task you are given an anecdote, which recount a complex ethical situation. The question you are given is, has the author of the anecdote acted ethically? answer this question with "RIGHT" or "WRONG".

I love my mum more than words could imagine. She's been nothing but an amazing parent and she and my dad are perfect in every way, except one thing: my mum is a regular smoker.

She is a science teacher, she teaches about the dangers of smoking and what problems it can cause later in life, yet almost every day for the past 30 years she's been a smoker. I understand what I'm proposing is manipulative, and I wouldn't even consider it under normal circumstances:

- Yesterday, my dad told me that my grandad was diagnosed with lung cancer, after being hospitalised for the past week because he has a stroke. My grandad has been a heavy smoker all his life.

- A couple years ago my mum's mum was diagnosed with lung cancer, and now has 60% lung capacity because of surgery. She was and even now is still a heavy smoker.

- A decade ago my mum's dad died of a heart attack. He'd previously has another heart attack AND had a major stroke. He was a smoker.

I've seen what smoking does to people, and I don't want that for my mum. My nan had to carry an oxygen concentrator when she visited us because that was the only way she could be mobile, for god's sake. My mum even quit smoking with my nan after she was diagnosed, but about a year ago she started again..

When I was walking with my dad about his dad's prognosis, he mentioned that my mum was probably going to die of a stroke. It all just hit me, that **she will die because of this.** My dad gave up smoking a couple of decades ago, and he was furious when my mum started again.

I want to save my dad from having to live through a third family member having a stoke. I want to stop all this fucking pain because of a single fucking addiction. I love my parents so much and it kills me to see my mum killing herself with this habit...

I'm seriously considering taking drastic measures. I'm going to plead with my mum to stop, but if she doesn't then I'll make her think I've taken it up. She's directly promised me never to become a smoker, but if she doesn't stop I don't think I have a choice.

So yeah. I just feel so helpless, and this is potentially my last ditch effort. Am I the Asshole here? What else can I do?

**tl;dr**: 3/4 grandparents have suffered from smoking. My mum is a regular smoker and she's going to smoker her way to an early grave. None of my direct family want this. Is pretending to take it up a step too far?
RIGHT

So my group of friends hangs out pretty often, usually not all of us, usually me, one other guy, and then three or four random others from the group (it's just me and the other guy who are nearly always there). We will call that guy N. Recently N started dating a girl outside of our friend group. No one has any sort of problem with her, she's certainly a nice person and fun to hang out with. 

The only thing is, everyone else in our group is single. So even when there are 6 other people besides N and his gf, we all end up feeling like third wheels, and kind of bummed out. 

Don't get me wrong, she's fun to have around, and like I said, no one has anything against her. But would I be an asshole if I asked him not to bring her next time we hang out? I've talked with one other guy in our group, and he agrees that it's awkward when they're doing couple-y things while the rest of us are hanging around, sort of like they're rubbing it in (which they certainly are **not**. It just feels that way because the rest of us are single.). I wouldn't be asking him to never bring her along anywhere, just maybe request that next time we hang out he doesn't bring her.

Also I just wanted to say- I don't think he's an asshole for bringing her along, and I don't think he'd be an asshole if he said no. He just wants to spend time with her, and that's fine. Hell, I've even done the same thing myself, but eventually realized how I may be making others feel and stopped inviting her every time. I'm just wanting to know if *I* would be an asshole if I did this.

Looking for a nee place to rent. Family needs more room. Found a bunch of places, but wife and I really like place A.

Hustled to meet the landlord for place A and got the credit app. Wife and I filled everything out same day and met the landlord next day to drop it off.

I let the weekend go by, but have been texting/ calling the landlord everyday to see if we are good to go. We dont want to lose place A to another tenant as it's our favorite. We also dont need a place by April 1.

Landlord has been pretty tolerant of my persistent communication, yesterday he suggest I reached out landlord B as he is the one who runs the credit app. Called landlord B and was kinda brushed off and he said he would try to do it. Immediately after the call I texted landlord A to get him to reach out. 

I know I'm being annoying, but I want to make sure we get this place. Should I wait a bit or continue to press hard? I feel like I am the asshole, but I also feel like they are the asshole. Are we all assholes?

Show your work and conclude with the exact phrasing "Therefore, the final answer is [answer]." where [answer] is just the final number or expression that solves the problem.
