AITA for scaring my older sister into thinking a Twitch chatter found her family

I (M16) found my sister’s Twitch channel about a month ago while I was sweeping online breaches for information connected to my home’s IP address. During this I found online accounts from my older sister (F24) she used when she lived here about 8 years ago. Currently she lives in LA alongside her mom’s side of the family (she’s my step sister)

I used the information from these accounts to find her current social media, through that I found a Twitch account she currently uses. Fast forward 2 days ago, I saw her first stream. Turns out she’s a relatively small streamer, with about 2-3 people in her chat max. She mainly plays the GTA with her friends. I tagged along for about 20 minutes before I got bored and left. Today she was streaming again and this time she was celebrating her friend’s birthday.

Well my insensitive ass got an intrusive thought and said "<insert my mom’s legal name> madddd"

Zero context.

She saw the comment about a minute later and freaked out. I cared but was too shy to admit it was me, her brother and decided to dip before I felt worse. I don’t have her phone number and I don’t want to tell my mom what I did because then it’ll be awkward.

Yeah now that I’ve finished this I feel like an asshole. But it feels too awkward to go tell my mom what I did.

Edit: Found my sisters phone number through another one of my shenanigans, apologized.

  1. YTA. “I decided to cyberstalk my stepsister, freak her out for the lulz, and know if I tell anyone to try and calm her down my ass is grass.”

  2. This isn’t a confession sub. You already know you’re TA. Fess up so your poor sister knows she’s not being stalked (a *terrible* fear for a young woman!).

  3. YTA. You were old enough to stalk your stepsister, whose number you don’t even have, and scare her senseless, but then you left the chat like a scared little boy as soon as you saw the chaos you caused. Sixteen is too old to be acting like this. Confess and apologize. 

    1. Also, “Mom maddddd” …what? It’s plain dumb too. Like, it’s the dumbest way to be mean lol
