grandma

Some family members take on mythical status, be it from their longevity or antics. In some cases it's both. But really if someone is around for long enough they usually have a wealth of interesting qualities to reflect on. For example, this huge list of all the animals one tumblr user's grandpa brought home or this grandpa who hate banana bread he hated for years out of love.

Everyone has their breaking point when it comes to what they'll put up with in the way of terribly entitled, toxic behavior. This granddaughter certainly hit the end of her rope. The aptly named Grandmonster in this tale of pro revenge had the unreal audacity to trade her granddaughter's new clothes in exchange for some steel utensils. I mean, you've got to be kidding me. That's just heartless, grandma. 

We'll never cease to be amazed by the audacity of these choosing beggars. They continue to spring forward with irrational and ridiculous demands. 

The concept of respecting your elders sort of goes out the window when they go out of their way to deliberately disrespect you. This person's grandma took no effort to learn a name, and refused to get it right out of spite. It seems like the only natural conclusion would be to give her some of her own medicine. For a different direction of a grandma story, here's a cringey guy who tried to correct a Japanese grandma on her own pronunciation of Japanese.

Man oh man, nothing like some good old fashioned family drama when it comes to an engagement. This guy sounds like he did exactly what his partner would've wanted him to do. The only person that seemed to have a problem with his ring choice was the grandmother. Folks in the comments seem to be of the opinion that he's not the jerk as long as he stands by his decision, and doesn't back down to whiny grandma. 

Why'd they have to do us like that? This greentext story's got the puns and the wordplay and just the kind of frustrating ending that inspires an instinctive, "god dang it." 

Experiencing your loved ones deal with aging is emotional and difficult, to put it lightly. But the moments of clarity when your grandma can sling a hardcore diss at a rude Karen are the kind of stuff you remember for a long time. For another wild Karen encounter, here's a story of a Karen who demanded fresh donuts and got them.

This is some sticom-level family drama. Someone's lyin'-ass grandma has been pretending their secret fudge recipe is all special when in reality the exact same recipe can be found on the side of a can of evaporated milk. The real question is what to do with the information. For another dirty cheater, here's this reporter who won her office chili cook-off with store-bought chili.

Not only will this post likely make a lot of people want to learn how to play D&D, but it will also probably kickstart the waterworks. We're not crying, you're crying!

This kind and generous plumber is being hailed as an angel in a plumber's outfit, for his act of kindness with a 91-year-old grandmother who needed her boiler fixed. It's little stories like these that actually manage to restore our faith in humanity. In a world of so many fails, it's nice to have a wholesome win every now and again. 

We're not crying, YOU'RE crying. This guy's grandmother fell in love with Dungeons & Dragons while she was battling cancer. The feels trip is truly brutal in this story; but at the same time, it's a beautiful tale of a strong woman finding peace in the bonding experience of playing a board game with new friends, and family. 

Grandpa has a knack for bringing home some seriously wild animals! Stupid, the Cat sounds like a real keeper. 

They weren't born with the internet, so we'll forgive them.
