A woman in the US has been called an a**hole by her husband because she took away a £120 tip.
If you're confused then let me explain.
Taking to Reddit's 'Am I The A**hole' forum, the woman opened up about a recent restaurant trip with her partner.

"My husband (31M) and I (30F) do fairly well for ourselves. Not well enough that we have no financial burdens but well enough that we can enjoy nice things and like to help others when we can," she began.
The woman then said the couple usually like to leave 'a large cash tip' to a server if they do a really good job.
"Last night, we went to one of our spots and were served by a nice young lady I'm guessing in her early 20s," she continued.
"I decided to leave $200 (£157) cash for our $46 (£36) bill. I left cash on the table after the check came and, not needing change, we got up and left."
While she thought the server would be more than pleased with the large tip (£121), apparently they 'angrily' ran after the couple as they were leaving.

"Our server ran us down at the door and somewhat angrily demanded we must pay and we couldn't just run out on the bill," the Redditor explained.
"I asked her if she had looked at the table and she said she hadn't. I walked back to our table with her, took the $200 and replaced it with $50 (£39).
"Enough to cover the bill and leave a small tip. I told her I would have appreciated it if she would have glanced at the table first or approached us with a question instead of assuming we were running out on the bill.
"She seemed embarrassed and we parted ways. My husband says I'm TAH [the a**hole] because I could (even should) have just left the $200. I don't think I'm TAH because I think she could have handled the whole situation better and I don't appreciate being called a thief.

"For clarification, when she rushed us at the door, she walked right past a chest high partition wall where you, very clearly, could see our table and that cash was left."
Taking to the comments, many social media users were on her side, as one wrote: "NTA, I agree with your take 100 percent.
"There were multiple ways the server could have approached the situation that didn't start with step 1: accuse the customer of thievery.
"Your server just received a $150 lesson in how not to deal with customers. Hopefully it will serve her well in the future."
A second added: "I agree with this also. Server assumed the worst of her table so she gets a s**t tip."

However, some thought the woman was in the wrong, with one user writing: "YTA For making someone feel s**tty about a low paying job."
Another commented: "YTA. You could have let them know that your payment was on the table. Then getting petty to teach a lesson?"
Others simply thought that she was making the whole thing up - that's Reddit for you.
