Man oh man, the entitlement is out in full form in this scenario. We have a boyfriend who expects to be able to pay less on bills just because he proceeded to make an irrational purchase. Well, it seems as if a wakeup call was in order for this guy. The moral judges of Reddit's AITA community were in collective agreement that the boyfriend was out of line. 

What we have here is a tale as old as time itself. Some half brothers get obnoxiously greedy, fly too close to the sun, and pretty much melt their wings off to the tune of $158K. If they'd have simply been reasonable human beings and offered some sliver of understanding in regards to the circumstances of the inheritance that was so graciously left behind, they might've actually gotten their share of the money. But alas, they took the different, ill advised route. 

This guy asked the people of Reddit whether or not he was in the wrong for hiding his inheritance money from his girlfriend and her family. The tough part about this particular predicament is that they had a kid together. A fair number of people are suggesting that the guy should try to be transparent when it comes to those finances. 

We've all gotten stupid scam calls about something being wrong with your bank account, and there are tons of scams people still fall for. This however, is something in between a lie and the truth. This person got a legit notice from someone who bought a small amount of forgotten debt and wanted them to basically reactivate it with some shadowy wording. Weird. 

Well, it sounds like that wedding was destined to be a grand success. Anyone who is showing up to pay a deposit for their wedding the day before the actual wedding clearly has a whole lot going on underneath the surface. Maybe she could've had some sort of wiggle room if she hadn't insisted on making up something about a website existing.

The whole "test" thing sounds wildly dysfunctional, my dude. This woman asked the people of Reddit whether or not her brother was in the wrong for dumping his girlfriend for being a "gold digger." Most of the comments seem to point at the fact that the brother clearly had some other issues going on. 

This bank just refused to be considerate and treat a human being going through a profoundly hard time, with a bit of humanity. No, instead it all boiled down to playing everything strictly by the book, even when playing it by the book was devoid of logic altogether. Fortunately, she was able to take her revenge eventually, to the tune of a five figure sum of money. Check out some more juicy pro revenge drama with this story about a scummy collection agency messing with a guy's credit score.

We're not sure what Karen was thinking on this one. She took what was otherwise a low key coupon designed to help anyone in need, and turned it into a whole situation where she was paying even more money in legal fees than she ever could've imagined in the first place. A definite loss. Check out some more juicy Karen content with this story about Karen threatening an employee with a write-up and getting a lesson in management.

Every now and again a millennial breaks out a fiery rant about how much the economy has changed, and the overarching state of the world now vs. how it used to be. Sometimes these rants are triggered by the baby boomers of the world. For some lighter Millennial-themed content check out this post where millennials pretend to be baby boomers in a Facebook group.

For most of us, it would seem like having a lot of money would be easy. As long as you don't spend it all on chocolate fountains and solid gold cars, you'll be fine. But for some reason, some people have a really hard time stopping themselves from making extremely ill advised investments. Whatever the bad decision, financial professionals have to hear about all of this disappointing behavior. For some other money shenanigans, here's wealthy people being extremely out of touch.

What a classic choosing beggar scenario right here. They want something, they get the something, and then their own blinding entitlement leaves them convinced that they somehow got screwed over. It's fascinating (in a bad way) on some level to watch this kind of interaction so grossly devoid of logic, play itself out. 

Daryl Fairweather churned out an interesting little viral Twitter thread about what goes into people's motivations for various investment strategies. That point about the doomsday preppers is just a little bit too real, with the current dystopian world that we find ourselves living in. 

These choosing beggars are stubbornly persistent as they are completely irrational. So often they'll come out of nowhere and bombard a seller's perfectly reasonable listing with perfectly unreasonable demands. Sometimes free goods aren't even cheap enough for the particularly evolved choosing beggar. The following choosing beggars are definitely in a league of their own. 

If this were a chess match between the sleazy bank and dad, dad just pulled the checkmate on them. Good for dad for being financially literate. For another spicy tale of pro revenge, check out this story about a man who crank called his friend and ended up being served a fake paternity suit.

This Tumblr thread shines light on the terrible struggles experienced by disabled individuals in America, when it comes to getting financial assistance. Specifically, we're talking about scenarios where these individuals literally can't save money, and are forced to deplete their resources every month, for fear of being cut off from financial assistance. If they exceed a certain amount of money, their financial assistance is pulled. What a mess. 

The devil is in the details here. Just accurate enough to be absolutely terrifying.
