I (22F) needed a new carpet and sofa for my room. I asked my dad to come shopping with me, but he said he was busy and told me to go with my uncle instead. The thing is, my uncle has a habit of only going with what he wants he never really listens to anyone else's opinion.

At the store, I found a carpet I really loved. I told him this was the one. But he kept pointing at a different one, saying it was better quality and more practical. I politely said Uncle it's going in my room, so I'd like to get the one I like. That set him off. He got upset, said I was being disrespectful and ungrateful for his help, and we ended up arguing in the middle of the store. He left without buying anything.

When I got home and told my dad what happened, he sided with my uncle completely. He said I should've just let him choose since he was doing us a favor, and that I embarrassed the family by arguing with an elder in public.

Now everyone's calling me stubborn. AITA for wanting my own room to reflect my own taste?
