There's a reason that people wear stupid masks to cover their identity when they accept lottery winnings on public broadcast. It's simple– they don't want their family knowing that they're overnight billionaires. For some reason, people think that they're entitled to a portion of any family member's financial success just because you're related.

Sometimes the fact that you have “privilege”—an edge over the competition, if you will… is an undeniable fact and you need to acknowledge that fact . If (or when) you do that, you might find that you gain back a little bit of respect.

Employers will always say that they have family values, but almost never put their money where their mouth is. For some reason, most corporations believe that your job should mean more to you than anything else in your life, including your family. One woman, who worked for a small airline in Florida, found out the hard way what it means to work for a company that assigns little to no value to human life. After enduring several rounds of training, this trainee discovered where her company was go…

For siblings that become the forgotten member of the family, it's tough to watch the golden child slide through life without worries or cares. Obviously, family drama is pretty inescapable, and can be taxing both emotionally and financially. One Redditor, u/TWoldCat , was the outcast of the family and was alienated from her family since a young age by her toxic mother and golden girl sister. However, after she had started a new life without them, she was dragged back into the drama. TWold was f…

Imagine growing up in a family that has no care for your future education, except for one—your aunt. She sets aside enough money for your education before tragically passing away. When you go to use the money, you find that your parents have been helping themselves to it. How do you feel? Betrayed? Hurt?.. What do you do about it? This post was written and shared to Reddit's r/AmItheA**hole subreddit by Redditor u/Accomplished_Bar5656, who shared her story with the popular subreddit to get the…

When a couple decides to have children, it's usually an unstated agreement that the children are BOTH adults' responsibility. However, sometimes folks forget that when you rear a human child, it is a ton of work on your own and is a task best suited for both parents to pitch in. Now, when you have 4 kiddos, that is a responsibility that is obviously quadrupled. One working woman and mother of four kids, recently got into a fight with her deadbeat husband about their shared parenting and Reddit…

People who desire absolute control over a situation love ultimatums. The problem with ultimatums is that the person you're setting the ultimatum with might call you on your bluff, leaving the illusion of any control you had over them shattered—along with the entire relationship. Weddings can be stressful times and leave the couple at the frayed ends of sanity as they try to manifest the perfect day. This can bring the absolute worst out in people, bringing down the facade of their personality a…

Millennials are just so entitled

Everyone has that one TV show that is their kryptonite and takes the front seat over all other life responsibilities. You couldn't survive without it! There's no way that you'd miss a single second of that show, you fangirl over all the extras, and you'd sooner pass away than miss the season finale– literally. Well, back in 2003, when missing the live season finale meant that you might just never see it, show fandom required some serious commitment. It's not like you could just tune into your f…

When you decide to take the leap and share your life with another person… actually share it with them. Don't do what this jerk boyfriend did and kick them out of the house, baring them from their own home so that your friends can sit in their favorite chair and hang out with you while they're on the outside looking in. Instead, be inclusive and seek to share time, love, and desires with them. This dude got roasted for forcing his recently-jobless girlfriend out of their shared home so that he c…

This has some serious Walmart energy

This post is crazy. Like positively insane… Whether or not you believe the legitimacy of it, it makes for some brilliant reading that scratches a “true-crime” itch. There's just something astounding about reading stories with this level of gaslighting, manipulation, and scheming—especially since most of us probably can't even fathom actually behaving in this way. Perhaps some of the satisfaction comes from trying to suspend yourself from your normal train of thought and imagine just what that p…

When “Get off my lawn!” evolves into “Get off the area adjacent to my lawn!” Maybe you shouldn't live next door to a school if you're this sensitive to the presence of children.

Sometimes, you need to know when to quit and when to walk away. Sometimes, you should also learn to take advice the first time it's given to you… especially when you directly asked for it. This couple would do well to learn this and listen to the advice they received from Reddit's r/AmItheA**hole community this week. The pair made separate posts to the sub to see whether or not the wife was in the wrong for her comments to her husband's sister. Her sister-in-law offered her some advice about th…

The lack of accurate information and general misunderstanding of anaphylactic reactions in the wider population astounds me. My leading theory for this is that it all goes back to the “People don't understand what they can't see.” discussion that is so pertinent when it comes to other unseen injuries and illnesses like traumatic brain injuries. “You look fine, so you must be fine!..” the same thing your mother used to tell you before she sent you to school with the flu. People generally don't u…

This wife has finally reached her wit's end with her husband's relationship with his close friend Carl. The two are inseparable, and her husband even describes Carl as his "nicotine," He just can't quit "it." Things hit their breaking point when her husband invited Carl to accompany them on their couple's getaway. Her husband thought it wouldn't be a problem for them to cram Carl into their two-person room with only one bed. The wife got the shock of her life when she found out her husband plan…
