**AITA for Evacuating My Neighbor's Alpaca Before My Own Family in the Simi Valley Fire?**

AITA for evacuating my neighbor’s alpaca before my own family in the Simi Valley fire?

Okay, so I (32M) live in Simi Valley. Yesterday, wind gusts were literally trying to yeet my trash cans into the next dimension. Suddenly, mandatory evacuation orders drop. I’m loading my wife, kids, and the dog (who is a very good boy, btw) into the car.

My neighbor, Karen (65F, actual name), is just standing in her driveway, weeping. Her alpaca, “Mr. Snuggles,” is refusing to get into her Prius. I mean, this animal is basically a fluffy giraffe with an attitude problem. I see the smoke cresting the hill. I’m thinking, “TL;DR: house is probably toast.”

So, I grab Mr. Snuggles by the halter. He spits on my favorite hoodie. I wrestle him into my pickup bed while my kids are screaming “DAD, THE WORLD IS ENDING!” I drive off.

Now, my wife is giving me the silent treatment because I didn’t grab my vintage Pokémon card collection. My neighbor posted on Nextdoor calling me a “hero,” but my boss saw the video and said I have “questionable priorities.”

Reddit, AITA for choosing a spitting, high-anxiety grass llama over my own family’s material possessions? (Don’t worry, everyone is safe, including the alpaca, who is currently eating my azaleas in a hotel parking lot.)
