@@DLCMan1218 And that's why you tell no one. Too many stories about family members close and distant, just popping out of the woodwork to try and take whatever percentage of money they can away from you.
i cant believe how much i relate to the first one except for the lottery incident part. My brother is in the air force, my older sister works at mcdonalds, and my dad also supports us financially since my mom doesnt make enough. what a coincidence
Usually when people talk about lottery statistics they use being struck by lighting, getting shot randomly, dying by car crash. But nope he was a chad and instead used chance to BECOME brad pit. Like holy hell that comparison makes winning the lottery even more impossible sounding.
#1 is straight up upsetting and saddening, i really feel for the guy and the wife just doesn't have that instinct NOT to mention ANY monetary related to anyone, the sister is practically a stranger. I hope those toxic family will get their comeuppance and karma a hundred fold. I cant even get mad properly because its just depressing, the guy lost. But first of all, WHY didnt the guy told her wife his past or something? Or at least a quarter of it even for being vague because that would have helped the wife steer clear away from the sister in the first place. I hope the guy will have it easy in the future, fuck those trash as family
Why the hell would the wife open her damn mouth? This was the very first time she was ever meeting this "family" member and she just started divulging her husband's private information? If she had never met his family but was married to him doesn't that mean there's a big chance his family are terrible people? Also, all the "family" and co-workers asking for handouts are disgusting.
Story one, everyone is split on whether or not to put blame on the wife, but I am personally 100% petty enough to be pissed at her about this for long ass time. It honestly could be a marriage breaker. I'm not getting any good vibes from her at all from the way he described her.
S1 OP’s wife has loose lips. If you knew he wasn’t on good terms with his family, why TF would you make it know that he has/had money? 🤦🏾♂️ What an absolute smooth brain thing to do.
If the other Festival goers enjoy your puppet and you enjoy it ignore your mother the WORLD would be much sadder boring place without all the differences. How fun or interesting would a festival be if it was filled with copies of just one or two people or copies of the same band being the only performers
Would I be the butt hole if I were to ever win that kind of money and they ask for a handout but I only give them the bare necessities and nothing more unless they provide me a service I want?
I'm sorry, but if the guy had told his wife about the situation with his family, he would not have had gone through all that. Unless she was just really ignorant.
Coworkers: What's going on with OP? Boss: He's getting sued by his family- Coworkers: Oh no, that's terrible. He'll be losing so much money- Boss: Because he won the lottery. Coworkers: Hey OP, can I borrow some money? Everyone in this dude's life is a bitch
He literally shoulda just had HR or his actual boss handle them, dude wants to handle Everything by himself and he won stupid prizes for it. Coworkers are still bitches tho
Why on earth would colleagues feel entitled to your money? Family I can kinda get because of all the emotional attachment, but why would OP's colleagues start pestering him over money?
The family was definitely in the wrong for that first one, but it's kinda weird the guy didn't tell the wife not to bring up the lottery thing, because the family didn't know.
A better question is why the wife was so clueless that she didn’t pick up on the subtle hints to “clearly don’t say how you got your money”. This is so obvious…. My guess is the wife was raised in a perfect home so she has no idea about bad stuff in the world.
That first story I’m dumbfounded that he got sued and lost, I just don’t get how they made a case purely based on their choice to have multiple kids knowing they could barely support it and having him pay for gas and car damages when he was like 16? He was your responsibility at the time so of course you’re obligated to do these things.
It had to be his lawyer telling him it would be cheaper to settle. Another major issue is the amount of time between the alleged damages and when they sued for them. Waiting 10+ years to make a claim just doesn't work in court.
There is weird, and then their is "weird" on the first one, is a quirky guy who plays polka and makes bad puns. The later is one you hold your kids hand a bit to tight when nearby
@@MyAramil There's Weird like Al and then there's weird like that grown man who hangs out around the park playground watching the kids. OP is the former.
Story 1: I'm annoyed with the wife. I HATE when people try to count my pockets. If I was the wife I would have just said something like "The mortgage is manageable." and left it at that. Asking what someone's mortgage is feels intrusive and I wouldn't dignify the question with a response. Seems like the wife overstepped especially b/c he clearly didn't have a close relationship to his family since it was mentioned she wanted to meet the sister after years of marriage and having a child. She basically told a stranger that the house came from lottery winnings, not cool.
The wife didn't know his family was toxic. I don't think she was trying to give out his business like that but be informing. It's the family that's more disrespectful, like OP owe them money for just breathing.
This is just my own opinion, but I feel like what the wife did was absolutely so unnecessary, especially because it caused so much drama, and I know that she didn’t know that would happen, but you really shouldn’t be telling people about that stuff anyway, because when you do, people will turn greedy and try to take from you
@@jeremybaker7963 Def don't blame her overall, but it annoys me she shared the info in the first place. I understand it was an innocent mistake however I wouldn't share that with someone I just met, even if it's my partners family.

Why is he marrying and starting a family with someone who doesn't know he's gone no contact with his family because they are toxic? How can you marry someone who's gone no contact with their family and then just bring up lottery winnings as if it's no big deal?
@@tyrionas I'm pointing out the lack of communication between people who though they were ready to be married is all. That lack of communication cost them $10k they will never get back.
if you win the lottery you pack your money up leave the country where the United States has no jurisdiction in so that way your family friends and others cannot sue you from the United States
@@notemergencyfood6510 100% he won in the US, he spoke about being a GI and his sister was in the Navy, he drove at 16 and only in the US people sue their family for this.
I don't think she can be sued. I don't know much about US law, but I suppose to the bank's perspective, it was a client taking money out of their own bank account.
@@---.----- ... that would only mean he can't sue the bank, not that he can't sue the mother. She engaged in deceptive behaviour resulting in the subtraction of thousands of dollars from the would-be plaintiff. This is at the very least a civil tort for which damages must be paid, if not a crime straight-up.
The first story hits home for me. One of my uncles passed away and left everything to just two siblings out of 3. One of which was my mother. It was a good chunk of money, but he left out one sibling in his will because of how she treated him. Her and her family was pissed off and wanted her 3rd. My mother and aunt caved and just gave a small chunk of it to them. And trust me, they really didn't need it financially. It didn't stop my uncle from still trying to get money. The funny part is that they have no idea that what my late uncle had was less than 10% of what my mother has saved up. When they get money, they spend it on lavish items and toys. But for my mother and I, we have just saved. I mean we save for the long term to the point where I just cashed out savings bonds I've had for 35 years. I'm sure I'll have an AITJ story if I let any of the savings slip.
To anyone who happens to see this, when making a will, always leave a dollar to anyone you don't want to get the money. That way they can't argue you forgot about them after your death.
The first story backs up a statement I made a while ago to my family: “You have a right to choose who to love, and just because someone is family doesn’t mean I’m forced to love them.”
As I understand it, that is the basic meaning of the original version of the saying "blood is thicker than water". The original version being "The blood of a covenant is thicker than the water of the womb", as in strong bonds are forged in people's lives, not just because they are family.
@@mastershepherd3777 I don't understand how that works. In my country, I don't think a minor could have a joint account. I think it's impossible, only of age could do it. Parents could open saving accounts on their children's name (I still have one my parents oppened when I was 1 yo, was on my name since then so they didn't have any access to it and now a nice amount of money have piled up thanks to them and interests), but they can only put money onto it and can't even have a cent while their child is a minor. And well, when the child isn't a minor anymore... The account is on the child name, so they still couldn't have it while the child now could do what he wants. I found weird how little children money is protected in USA. Being able to have a joint account with a minor is weird. It's impossible here, when children work, to have parents who could have the money. We have law, they bank account are in the child name and only his. I'm sure my country is far from being the only country who did that. But I just don't understand why it's not the case in USA.
BRING THE PUPPET! That family that sued over lottery money is absolute selfish miserable garbage and I feel so bad for that man who got the rug pulled out from under him by his own family. You're definitely not at fault for the choices you made, and by letting your sister stay youve shown what a good heart you do have to try and give benefit of the doubt. It's not your fault your sister betrayed you and your family dug a hole under you. Stay strong and do your best for your new family.
OP in story 1: *wins lottery 11 years ago and spent it all without family knowing* OP in story 1's family when they find out: *sues OP and wins 10k without any lottery winnings left* OP in story 1's co workers in the branch of the military he's in after he gets SUED BY FAMILY: Im going to pretend i didnt hear that.
That family literally tried everything in their power to get every single penny of that man’s money, even going as far as to bring up past events dating years back (which I find petty and ridiculous). The gas bit I can understand to an extent but the inflation bit is excessive because you’re taking lower prices from various years and changing them to what may be currently expensive (and that’s saying something because gas prices in my area were like $2.60 or something a while back and now they’re about 4 bucks to the gallon). As for the bit with throwing the beer bottle at someone, that’s definitely stretching it. They’re filing for an assault charge that’s not really even relevant anymore given that it seems nothing was done when it originally happened (least not involving law enforcement and/or courts). And to top it all off, they decide to sue only AFTER hearing about the lottery and not while they were mopping about how he wasn’t having to pay for education and living expenses and also get paid due to his military services.
I cut off my family when I came to the realization that they wanted people to feel sorry for them, because of how bad of a life they had growing up and things that later happened in life, and would use whatever means to get others' attentions focused on them. My father who left me decades ago, I wasn't even 9 years when he left, he died recently and I was told by my mother and sister for being 'a self-serving child' that I didn't want to go to the funeral which was a 12 hour drive from where I lived. They told me I should have made efforts to contact him and it was my own fault that I never did. They couldn't even answer the question of why I should since he knew I lived, how to contact me but never made one attempt since he left, just kept saying I was being a narcissitic child. At the funeral, I was practically dragged there by my family, I learned that not only did my father have a girlfriend but he was helping to raise her kids! I literally had to hurt myself, dug my fingernails into my hands and biting my tongue, to keep myself from screaming at the funeral about how he had been raising other kids for YEARS but never once even told his girlfriend he had a son already. My late dad's side of the family was aware of these facts and not only that but my own mother and sister told me to keep any opinions I had about my father to myself. I only wished I made the decision to cut ties with them alot sooner than I did.
If you come into a large sum of money a good rule of thumb is to hire a team consisting of financial advisor, accountant, lawyer and personal assistant. The financial advisor will give you advice on your money such as investing, budgeting and so forth so when you're really old you still have money. The accountant pays your bills, pays your taxes and so forth. The lawyer handles your legal affairs because people will try to sue you. Finally your personal assistant is your go to person for anyone trying to reach you. They also handle your schedule because you will be very busy. This is the very least you need as a wall between you and the public.
That Karen story reminded me of the time my friend and her mother where waiting at a red light. A car in front just out of nowhere pulled the reverse and purposely bumped into the mom’s car. They got out to demand money, the guys looked like your typical rich brats. Since it was a red light, and the mom didn’t move and got bumped into on purpose… she refused to sit there for HOURS to wait for the insurance company to get there and pay money she didn’t owe. So what she did was back up, (since there wasn’t anyone behind her) and book it when the light turned green. The idiots chased her for a long while honking to hopefully make her slow down and park, but the mom ended up losing them XD it was wild. People would do the stupidest things for money
1. WOW! What a way to know who is your true friend. Apparently no one. You won the lottery, and everyone come asking for money. I dont undertand why the wife wanted to meet your family, didnt OP tell her about how toxic they were? If your BF/GF tells you "no, you dont want to know my family" why wouldnt you hear him/her. 4. Some people are better withour childrens
1. Tbf I think it was mentioned or atleast implied she had no clue bout the family. Like she nothing abiut his family period so it is more on him for not warning her and then bringing the sister in.
Honestly, if I had win Lotery (an absurd amount, that is), I would start from zero. Move out to another country where no one knows me, leave no track behind to anyone find me, and even change my name if possible. Cause hell I would fear this kind of shit.
I completely agree, I'd probably move out to Canada as its been one of my favourite countries for a while, or america, (currently live in the UK) and start over, new phone, new job, new everything g
First story could have been avoided by him explaining to his wife how his family was and how he didn't want them to know about the winnings. UNLESS he already did then honestly the wife is just as bad because she said that KNOWING he didn't want his family to know but she wanted to make this entitled joke of a sister feel bad... making the wife just as bad as the family... now I doubt the wife knew but IF she did she's just as much part of the problem. Second story: Do what you love... f**k everyone else. End. Of. Story. 4th & 5th - Karma. 6th story: That's what you get for trusting people... now I hate to say this but you can't trust even your family. I had a similar issue with my mother though she didn't 'steal' anything. I was working full time and going to college spending upwards of 100 in gas a week (back when it was 2-3 a gallon... i miss that), and spending 10-15 hours a day driving, working, and in class. I paid for most of my own food and gave 200 bucks a month for power and rent (total rent for the house was 300 USD for 4 members and power was 100-ish and most of it was draining because of her always having 3 sewing machines, a computer and laptop, and 3 fans in her room alone I had a pc and a single fan which wasn't always on). So 200 USD was enough to cover my portion of everything and then some. One day she went INTO MY ACCOUNT and checked my balance and chastized me for spending 100 dollars on gaming stuff and acted like I should have been paying her more instead of paying for things that brought ME joy. So I saw that red flag and had her taken off of my account the next day. She didn't like it but I can't trust her to not guilt trip me for paying for things I enjoy instead of supporting her more than I already was. (Basically I was paying my rent and FULL power, and all my food the only expense that wasn't really factored in was trash as the house was on Well water, and when I say 'power' i mean internet aswell. My break down was this 100 for my 1/4th of rent, 100 for food, 100 for my 14th of power and internet. Making it 300. Though technically my '1/4th' of power and net should have been something like 35 I was already paying 75 more than my fair fair share of those and she was made I wasn't paying more. I put my foot down and she stopped that kind of behavior but honestly if I wasn't such a hard a** she would have taken much more advantage of me than she did.
What if you love doing something that hurts people like throwing rocks at People’s houses. I get what people mean by that statement but some people are going to take it the wrong way and think that they should do whatever they want(Including illegal and morally wrong) without thinking about other people like you should do what you want as long as it’s not harming anyone but if it’s harming people and disturbing the peace you should listen to people
@@blackqweenmars Ya know... you're part of the problem a NORMAL rational human would take it how I mean only those with jacked up brains dig into that kind of saying and take it the way you did.... frankly you and those who would take it like that have no place in society.
Holy shit! This is very similar to what my sister and I went through.😳 I really feel for this person, that's messed up. I was so happy when I moved out. Never want to go back. My sister unfortunately still lives with my parents and she is desperately trying to move out.😔
Story 2, imagine that mom cranked up to a 1000% about anything you wanna do plus toxic... thats my mom, so I learned to talk back immidiately after she spits out something even semi toxic.
I think it’s just ridiculous how the OP’s family is just full of *ss holes that didn’t even care about each other, what they did was so unfair and the OP did not deserve that at all; now I’m just hoping that the family gets what THEY deserve
How delusional do you have to be to ask for money from your coworker because you found out they won the lottery? Actually, how delusional do you have to be to demand compensation you're not owed because your kid/sibling won the lottery?
My family had a massive medical lawsuit once Story: we have a Siberian husky "as y'all know they are extremely dramatic" well we use to live in a neighborhood with know some of the closer neighbors. There was this one family tho, lived like slobs and had zero parenting skills. Well that kid was 5-6 and was always unsupervised and walked up and down the street with her parents. Well this kid was notorious for torturing animals "throwing rocks, yanking tails, hitting with sticks" and everyone knew. Well one day her ball rolled down the hill into our yard while our dog was outside "we didn't see it, another neighbor took a testament.". Well you can probably guess what happened after that. Well a cop shows up and explains the situation. we where confused on what's going on and our dog was still outside and we had no idea this event even. The cop walked past our dog without a issue and didn't have a issue getting into the kennel. Well from the cops report they said our dog ran up the hill and attacked the girl and she left in a ambulance cause of my dog. Well a year later we received a lawsuit for the medical bills "can't remember how much but it wasn't a small amount". Well this is where things start to stop making sense in their claims. They said that our dog ran up the hill and attacked her, well on the paperwork it said our dogs leash extend into the road "we had picture that shows how far he can reach "5-7 feet away from the road". Well after about a year of going back a forward with lawyers the claims where completely drops "lack of evidence and inconsistent information" they dug their own hole and the child got taken away
the last OP's mom probably give them a load of bullshit about "seeing your money will make you want to spend it" which probably lead to that whole thing happening. They said that it was set up to where they *couldn't* see their balance. My own mother tried to do the same to me when we set up *my* current bank account, and I'm so glad I said no because I very well could be in the same or simillar situation now to what that OP was in. Moral of the story; DO NOT LET *ANYONE* CONTROL THE MONEY YOU HAVE MADE FROM A JOB!!! The ONLY thing that will come out of that is that they will take advantage of you and steal your hard earned money!!!!
I was also a child thief once when I was a baby who can just barely hold my toys my parents had taken me in a shop which sold clothes , my father was watching me and my sister while my mother was shoping something she wanted I was sit next to some pair of socks , so I just grab one. My parents didn't noticed the pair of socks I took with me untill we been home. Years later I am a ten years old who finds a pair of socks back in my closet I had never seen it again I asked my mother if this belonged to her and she answered me "no it's yours you stole it from a shop" and then she told me the story which I obviously had no idea about. I am twenty year's old who still thinks it's funny even if most of my family thinks it's not funny anymore.
I feel like I'm just ignoring the first story, because I am trying to figure out how he got a skateboard in GTA San Andreas Edit: also he somehow got wolverine in the game too
Op, I'm extremely proud of you. You made the wise decision to protect your lottery winnings from entitled family members. Cutting off contact was justified, as they showed blatant disregard for your financial autonomy by demanding money and trips, despite your responsible approach to invest for a secure future. Their subsequent legal threats and frivolous lawsuits further demonstrated their toxic behavior, forcing you to relocate and incur significant costs. Experts advise lottery winners to maintain anonymity precisely to avoid such exploitation by greedy relatives. You have every right to decide how to manage your own hard-earned wealth without familial interference.
Ok so I stole something when I was a toddler it was a pack of nerds and my mom after she found out gave the store 100bucks aswell as the nerds and I had jus picked it up I obvi didn't realise anything cause I was a toddler
My 5 year old sis once took a candy bar and started eating at a convenience store and hid the wrapper in her pocket... We were called out My mom apologized multiple times paid the amount for the bar cashier was understanding ....we still go to the same store never had another problem...is it so hard for people to accept the mistake
Shouldnt have let them know. h3ll bet you also met new friends like that, and wahman that wouldn't give time of day given you attention. Suggest use money wisely good luck
The last one is something that happened to me though not $32k. From like 6 years old to 15 years old, all of my birthday money and money I was getting from mowing yards would go into a savings account that my mom made and had access to. About $3000 was saved in that account. When I was 15, my parents were separated and lived with my mom at the time but my dad was getting most of the mail anything that had to do with me. He got a noticed from the bank that my account was $40 IN DEBT and threatening to turn it into collections. So he asked me what did I spend my money on. I was very confused by this and told him I don't know anything about that. Found out that my mom took it all and more. He went to the bank, told them what happened, and they forgave the $40 and all the other fees and closed my account so my mom could not do anything more. I confronted my mom about this and she said "I needed the money and it's perfectly fine since they (her and my dad) took my older sisters savings." And that it is not that much. I explained that my problem is that not all of that was just birthday money, it was whole weekends doing work and saving money. I did not get along well with my mom after that. She attended my high school graduation, she gave me $500 and promised to pay me back. Every visit and holiday, she would give me $100 to $200. Took her about 2 years to pay it back and now always gives $100 to me every birthday since. She's dose not make much money so her giving $100 every birthday and a little bit on holidays to me means something.
The car accident story is outrageous I got in an accident and rolled my car 9 times exactly waking up 2 meters outside my car and all I got was a cut on my head that healed up nicely some people really are just jerks one small bump will not make you disabled ☹️☹️😕😕
