AITA for giving away the concert ticket I'd promised to hold until Friday evening?
AITAI handed Mia the spare concert ticket at lunchtime on Friday. At six that evening, my friend Aaron texted, "Shift swapped. I'm in."
I'd told Aaron on Monday that I would hold the ticket until seven on Friday. He couldn't confirm before he knew his work rota. The tickets were $68 each, and I had paid for both.
On Thursday he still said "probably." Mia then asked if I had anyone for the spare. She could pay immediately and wanted to know by Friday lunchtime so she could arrange her own weekend. I said yes to her because I didn't want to reach seven with a ticket and no definite companion.
I didn't tell Aaron before handing it over. When he confirmed, I replied that Mia had already bought it. He sent back a copy of my Monday message and said he'd spent the afternoon arranging the shift swap on the understanding that he still had time.
I offered to ask Mia whether she'd let him have it. Aaron said he didn't want to take away a plan she'd now made too.
My reason was avoiding uncertainty, but I had given someone a very definite deadline and then acted before it. AITA for taking the sure offer?
