AITA for kicking my nan down a flight of stairs

I feel absolutely sick to my stomach even typing this, and I haven't stopped crying all morning.Yesterday, my nan (84f) was visiting our house. She was walking toward the top of the stairs to go down to the kitchen. At the exact same time, our golden retriever bolted past us to chase a toy.The dog clipped my ankles, causing me to completely lose my balance. As I tripped forward, I accidentally plowed right into the back of my nan. She lost her footing and went tumbling forward down the steps.Thank God my dad was at the bottom of the stairs carrying up some laundry. He heard the commotion, looked up, and managed to literally catch her mid-air before she slammed into the hardwood floor.She is at the hospital now getting checked out. She only has a few bruises, but I cannot shake the horrific image of her falling because of me. My aunt is calling me careless, and I feel like an absolute monster.AITA?

AITA for not paying for my GFs Uber when she asked me to cut connections with a childhood friend

Throwaway account because my friends know my main.I’ve been with my girlfriend "Sarah" for about a year. Everything has been great up until last night. For context, my best friend "Maya" has been in my life since we were literally five years old. Our families are close, and she is basically a sister to me. Because we grew up together, we are very physically affectionate—we hug tightly when we see each other, lean on each other on the couch, and are just generally close. It has never, ever been romantic or sexual. It is 100% platonic. Sarah has known about Maya since day one.

Last night, Sarah was over at my apartment. Out of nowhere, she brought up Maya. She said the way Maya and I act around each other makes her deeply uncomfortable. She claimed that "hugging and being that close" with another girl is disrespectful to our relationship.I tried to explain that it's just how we've always been, but Sarah wouldn't listen. She dropped a massive ultimatum: she told me I need to cut connections with Maya completely and push her away, or we are done.

I completely shut down. I cannot stand controlling behavior or ultimatums, especially under my own roof. I stood up, walked to the front door, opened it, and told Sarah she needed to leave my apartment immediately because the relationship was over.Sarah was shocked and started crying, saying it was past midnight and she didn't have her car. She asked me to order and pay for her Uber like I usually do when she visits. I looked at her and said, "You chose to come into my home and try to force me to abandon my childhood friend. Figure out your own logistics." I closed the door on her. She had to wait outside in the cold and pay a high surge-price fare to get home.

, her friends are blowing up my phone calling me an unhinged, dangerous piece of trash for leaving a girl stranded at night over a disagreement. I'm starting to feel a bit bad about the Uber situation, but I also feel like I had to protect my boundaries against a manipulator.Was I too harsh, or did she bring this on herself
