This is how I feel about parents that buy their kids alcohol. As a teenager it was
so cool. Sweet, Timmy! Where'd you get that handle of whisky?...Your
mom? Awesome!
Now I'm like, what the fuck? What kind of responsible parent does that? A
beer/glass of wine at dinner is one thing, my parents did that and I didn't think it
was crazy. But buying and giving your teen a shit ton of hard liquor and letting
them drive off with it on a Friday night?!
Shit, be a good parent and make them get it from an older sibling like everyone
else.

I'm 2 years older than my brother and the good child. I went off to college with
no issues. I gave my parents the once a week 10 min call and had no issues. My
little brother goes off to college and suddenly I have a curfew when I'm home, my
parents make me call them at midnight friday and saturday nights to ensure I'm
at my apartment and my girlfriend got calls asking where I was (we went to
different schools).
They weren't paying for my school so I eventually just stopped. Caused a huge
rift with my parents that wasn't solved until my lil bro got expelled for bringing
meth and a gun into the dorms and they got a divorce.

Yup. I offered to buy my parents car from them last summer, as I was using it
nearly daily and they were making me pay for oil changes as well as gas. Offered
them a grand over market value, with the promise that they still got to use it
whenever, same arrangement as we had, but the added benefit of I get some
collateral to my name and they get a new car. Wouldn't have it.
Three months later I'm struggling to get a shitbox sunfire, that I bought cheap
from a friend, on the road so I can actually have a car to my name.
They gave their car to my little brother and bought a new car. Because he needed
to go to work every day.
My brother and I were carpooling. We worked across the street from each
other. And he wrecked that car not six months later, while I had to move out of
town to afford rent, and sell my car for scrap. They ask me why I don't call; this
is just one reason.

It's tough being the responsible, oldest, sibling. I've had some money issues that
I struggled through. I would never dream of asking for the money from my
parents. My younger sister, on the other hand, had no problems asking for things.
A car, no problem. A house, no problem. Help in paying the property taxes on the
new house, no problem.
But, I have to say she paid it all back when my father became too sick to take
care of himself. She converted a room, in her house, for him. And took care of
him until he passed away.

Funny enough, I had an 11 o'clock bedtime until around 10th or 11th grade. I

She literally laughed at me and said, "Okay. I was wondering when you were
going to ask for that."

My mom started to buy me wine and beer (or cider) when I turned eighteen. I
think it's a good thing, if I were to go and party (never did it in high school and I
didn't go to college), I would know my limits.
It's legal in my state anyway.
She won't buy me hard liquor though, which makes sense to me. I agree, a bottle
of wine or a six pack of beers is fine, a jug of whiskey...not so much. But I think
it's good to teach your kids tolerance before they hit 21 so they don't go fucking
crazy and drink far too much.
permalink

parent
[]inaliyb 549 points 17h
See, I think being cool about it is one thing...but to actually supply it? I dunno.
My parents didn't pretend that I waited until I was 21 to have my first drink. After
I went off to college I was pretty much given free reign of the beers and wine in
the house. Nobody needs to pretend like a college-aged kid doesn't drink. And
before that we wouldn't talk about it, but my parents always made it clear that I
could call them if I needed a ride, and didn't question me too much if I called at
11 pm on a Saturday and had suddenly decided to spend the night at my friend's
house instead of driving home.
And I think I turned out alright. When I went off to college I didn't go too crazy. I
had already gotten drunk a few times before and knew what I liked and what my
limits were.
I think it's good to not treat alcohol like this forbidden fruit. But I don't think I
would ever buy my kid booze of their own. You're not driving anywhere tonight
and want to have a beer or two with mom and pop? Sure. You think this
margarita looks extra tasty and want to whip one up yourself? Go for it.
But if you wanna get hammered, you're gonna have to obtain your booze the
American way: calling every single 21+ person you and your friends know for 3
hours just to spend twice as much on a fifth of vodka once someone's older
brother says yes. It builds character.

Meh, honestly man the drinking age in some Provinces in Canada is 18. Those
provinces border with the states, you can travel 2km across the border and
legally buy alcohol 3 years earlier. Theres nothing wrong with buying an adult
who can go to war, vote, sign papers, get married, go to prison, etc a few beers.

I only had one friend whose mom would buy us alcohol when I was a teen, but
she had the caveat that we then had to drink it at her house while she was home.
She knew we were going to get our hands on it somehow anyway, and this way,
she could keep an eye on us while we were drunk.

My dad being Dominican, he didn't give a shit about anything adult themed. His
mentality was that "he's going to see it eventually, anyways".
One time when I was 7, I asked my dad to buy me a copy of GTA: Vice City at EB
Games (shout out if you remember them). When we were at the register, the lady
noticed my wide-eyed, eager face as she was scanning this corruption of a game.
She proceeded to look at my father with slight concern and said "Sir may I
remind you this game is usually for people 17 and over."
Then my father, having no American etiquette, replied in his thick Dominican
accent:
"What? Isn't it just some teeties and poosy? Maybe some blood? I see no
problem, chica".
My dad was cool

Me: Well, no. $girlfriend and I kind of got lost hiking. We only got back to the

Me: I'm sure I can, but..
Mom: Just camp in the car tonight, I'll call $girlfriends parents and explain.
Me: Thanks, Mom..
Mom: Does $girlfriend have her license with her?

Honestly scary movies are wasted on adults. They're practically laughable when
you're older about how absurd they are.
One of my earliest memories is the guy from Hellraiser getting ripped apart by
those chain hooks. My mom talked to each of we three boys about how movies
are fake and for entertainment though so none of them really stuck with me...
Most of it was 'Neat'. The concept in Langoliers was probably my biggest worry.
Existential Crisis when you're young sucks.
Aliens on the other hand. No thanks. I only got over them when I was like... 20.
The thought of them being able to paralyze me with a glance always spooked me.
Then I found them hanging out stealing people from their blankets just as absurd.
If I saw one now I'd probably rage tackle it and snap it's head off like a pez

My dad's philosophy, which he shared openly with me, was "You can be sick here
or you can be sick at school. It doesn't make a difference. Get to the bus stop."
I started skipping school in 8th grade and dropped out in 10th.

"You can be sick here or you can be sick at school. It doesn't make a difference."
It totally does make a difference, on several levels. You can't rest at home, which
means recovery is slower; if it's infectious, you're spreading it around; and when
you're at home it's easier to get to the bathroom in a hurry.
Edit: You can't rest at school. (I was too outraged to write good).

That happened to me too! I told my mom I wasn't feeling well, but she made me
go to school anyway. It happened back when my mom didn't have a cell phone,
so after I puked within the first five minutes of the school day, I was stuck waiting
(and puking) in the nurse's office for a good two hours because she couldn't get
ahold of my mom (she was out running errands).
They almost resorted to calling my neighbors to pick me up because they were so
desperate to get me out of there. Turned out I had a nasty case of the stomach
flu. My mom was super apologetic and stopped doubting me when I told her I
wasn't feeling well after that.

My mom did similar. She had off Mondays and Tuesdays, so sometimes I'd skip
and we'd hang out together. Especially if she had gotten season passes to Six
Flags and felt like we hadn't gone enough times yet that year to make it worth it.
After I made it to about 10 and was fine home alone for a few hours, she'd let me
take a "mental health day" as long as I didn't have any test that day and nothing
due.

If you do want to prep for wearing them for an event, break them in by wearing

I was in high school in the 1980's and I lived in a small, rural town. It was not
uncommon to see people with rifles hanging in gun racks in their trucks parked in
the school parking lot. When it was hunting season kids would bring their rifles to
school and check them in at the office in the morning. You would walk up to the
office and see 30 rifles all leaning up against the wall waiting for kids to pick them
up after school so they could go hunting. Times were very different.

If you DON'T know how to be safe around firearms by the age of 16 then that's
bad parenting. Trusting you to drive, trusting you with a shotgun, both are
dangerous but by 16 you damn sure should be mature enough to use both.

I mean, not bad parenting as such but my dad left when I was 6 and so was an
uncle dad after that. My mum brought my sister and I up and was very soft.
So until she died when I was 14, I was still getting away with sleeping in her bed
when she hadn't the heart to put me back when I was sneaking in as a toddler.
So when she died, you can imagine what my grandmother had to deal with - not
only two grieving teenagers in the heights of hormone possession but two
grieving teenagers who hadn't been 'bed trained' and so cried at night being left
'alone'.

Not bad parenting exactly. When my mom left my dad, we moved to a nice city
and lived in a nice neighborhood. She worked all the time and came home only
wanting food and sleep. Despite being strict and cautious of people, by the time I
was 16 she was too tired to really implement any of her rules. I was able to stay
up late, stay out late and do pretty much whatever I wanted. Surprisingly, I never
did drugs, booze or sex. I just went out to the city life, walked around and
observed people. I was such a boring kid. It's not until years later when I'm
recalling my teen years that I realized all the miss opportunities I could have had.
So sad.

I think many kids that have a lot of freedom are actually pretty reasonable. When
something is allowed it's not as much fun because it's not forbidden, so all the
excitement is gone. It doesn't work like that for everyone of course.

Honestly it's because as a parent you can look back and think about all the insane
shit you 'could' do. Yet in reality most young adults are just as plain and boring as
you are as an adult. Sure there are some thrill seekers but shitty or great
parenting may not weed that out of them anyway.
The best thing you can do as a parent is hopefully instill in them that sense of
right and wrong, what is and isn't real, and a bit of how to self-moderate. The
rest is keeping them fed and housed. Voila.

manipulation was he tampered with my birth control, and along with it convinced
me that I was trash and no one else would ever want me. I had 3 kids from him
by the time I was 19. Moved out of my parents home at 15 when I found out I

When I was 9 or 10 years old at the cottage, a few of our parents would give us a
couple extra tanks of gas and send us out in our fleet of little 8- and 9.9- hp tin
boats for the day to explore wherever we wanted. Be back before it gets dark and
stick together were the only rules.
For context, our lake has 17,000 islands on it, crosses the US/Canada border, and
is 70 miles long and wide.
We had charts, we knew how to read them and find where we were (and
hopefully home), and we knew when to slow down because we weren't familiar
with the water. We always made it home. But when I hear about kids getting
apprehended by child services for playing unattended in their own yards, all I can
think is "that sucks for society." We all learned so much, most importantly to trust
our own abilities. Where do you get that now?
Edit: Lake of the Woods, Ontario. Would be Canada's longest shoreline if some of
it wasn't in the US.

We didn't have any bedtime hours established, I could just go to bed whenever
and then miss the first period of classes. This sounds very cool when you're a kid
but one day you realise you might have a problem with schedules and discipline.
We didn't have to get our vaccines if we didn't want to (I guess my mother
couldn't be bothered with us crying) so as a result I was about 16 when I got my
vaccination straight.
We didn't have to get braces unless we wanted to (as a kid I say no, a decision
that now I regret).
We could watch ungodly amounts of TV.
edit: for anyone whining about braces being a privilege (which obviously they are
to an extent), keep in mind situations like overbites can have an impact on your
health (and your self-esteem, I guess). It's not just about having Hollywood
teeth.

Not my parents, but my grandparents for this one. My favorite toys as a kid were
screwdrivers. I'd go through my grandparents house and get them all together
and play with them. My grandpa would even help me get as many as I could in
the garage and basement. I had all kinds of screwdrivers. One day, my aunt came
to my grandparents house while I was there and I ran up to her with two
screwdrivers in my hand, held them up and sang, "My mom doesn't want me to
play with these but grandpa let's me!" That was the end of screwdrivers at
grandpa and grandma's. Also, my grandpa would let me eat hot dogs cold. Like,

I smoked weed with my dad for the first time when I was 15 (after smoking with

"who the fuck does that???" My mom ran a restaurant and worked 16-18 hour
days, my dad worked on ships so they weren't around much and when they were,
tried to be cool, I guess? They also left me in charge of the grocery money and
shopping when I was like 11 when my mom opened the restaurant. They knew
my siblings (13 and 17) would spend it on weed or just bullshit. So it became my
job to do the shopping and cooking for my siblings and I, though my siblings were
basically never home. I complained that I was lonely, so my folks got me a dog.
At the time, it felt cool to have responsibility and be trusted. As a grown up with a

I don't think this was bad parenting, but my mother did.

My father used to take me to the bar with him when I was maybe six or seven,
just a little sprat in pigtails at the time, and he would buy me a pack of M&Ms and
a Coke.
He'd buy a beer, and sit smoking cigarettes and chatting with his friends, while
providing me with boundless quarters to play Galaga. I had to balance on this
slightly ripped and rickety red vinyl barstool to play it, but even being scratched
by the frayed nylon was just part of the experience. Sometimes Dad would join
me, and we'd play a co-op round or two.
I still remember those as some of the best times of my childhood, sitting there
tripping on arcade Galaga and sugar, smelling the heady bar-smell of cigarette
smoke and stale beer, and my dad laughing and telling jokes with the other men
behind me. He was the best parent anyone could ever ask for.

everything afterwards, and that there was water nearby in case the fire got too
crazy (it never did).
We burned and busted so many old electronics, toys, furniture, you name it. We
were also allowed to use pocket knives, and taught how to strike matches at a
very young age (5-6 yrs old).
We never got hurt, and never burned the house down. This was the early '80s.
These days I know adults that are afraid to light a fire in a fireplace.

When I was about 8 my dad (mom was gone) poured a shot of whiskey in a shot
glass for me and my three siblings to try. We all tried it and screamed at how
gross it was. He said something along the lines of "and that's why you shouldn't
ever drink it" while laughing at all of our reactions.
There's no way I'm giving my kids liquor that young but I don't drink liquor today
so maybe he was onto something.

Nah, thats not really bad parenting, everybody I know got a nip from a beer or

Watch pretty much anything I wanted as long as I was quiet and didn't ask them
to explain shit. Saw Rocky Horror Picture Show at eight years of age. Lots of
other stuff I did not understand till years later, but never asked about for fear of
not being allowed to watch bad stuff anymore.
Being a parent now myself, I'm far more strict. I'm okay with boobies, but
nothing with like, raunchy sex and no blood and guts crap.

Not really bad parenting, but I grew up on a farm, and learned to drive at like 10
years old.
I started by driving Tractor on my dad's lap learning to steer and later on how to
use the clutch and shift.
By 14, I was driving the farm truck (late 80s manual Ford f150) by myself, as well
as doing actual jobs with the tractor

My parents were so mad when we got a new tractor on the farm that had a
weight sensor in the seat - so my 12 year old sister couldn't use it without
strapping on an extra 20 pounds of weights.
But yeah, learned to drive the tractor as soon as my feet could reach the pedals same with the truck.

My mother used to smoke pot inside her boyfriends can with the Windows rolled

Well... Being left alone for a month without parents is cool, especially when you're

Ride in the car without a seatbelt.

Ride in the back of a cargo van that didn't even have seats, sometimes standing

Play with my grandpa's power tools.
Put rocks in a vice and then whack them with a hammer until the cracked,
without eye protection.
Use the internet completely unsupervised and unrestricted at age 10.
Call people I met while using the internet completely unsupervised.

Not so much anything i was specifically allowed to do, but rather just what I got
away with and how I got away with it so easily.
I never had my own car in high school, but could pretty much use my dad's at my
leisure. Only stipulations were that I at least put something in the tank on the
way home and obviously not expect to have it when he needed it.
So starting from there we have the passenger rule. Not sure if this is a thing in
every state yet, but where I lived there was a rule that teen drivers could only
carry one non-related passenger for the first year of their license or until they're
18 (whichever comes first). Of course no one ever abided by this, but when I
would be asked who I was taking somewhere I'd say something like "I'm picking
up Bob and John is meeting us there"- even though it was well known that John
lived right along the way and his parents were much stricter about his car use (so
he obviously wasn't getting anywhere on his own).
Then it gets better. Flash forward to coming home. It's about 50/50 whether
anyone will even still be awake when I return. If they were, standard questions"where'd you go, what you do, who with". My response? "Places. Things. With
people". Those exact words.
And never once were there further questions. Granted we weren't out robbing
liquor stores and shooting up, but for all they knew we could've been.

When Trump and Clinton met to spew

A turd of lies and doubt They thought, perhaps, a drug or two
Would help to ease them out.
'A little intellect for me,'
Said Donald, loathe to wait 'Or something strong,' said Hillary,
'To keep me standing straight.'
And so they lingered on no more They took their pills with pride.
And Clinton hit the fucking floor,
And Donald fucking died.

Don't worry. When I took slightly too much acid, I proceeded to wander around a
house with no power aimlessly, soaking wet for some reason, looping weird
thoughts until I blacked out for a while. Eventually I laid in bed shivering,
watching the world spin faster and faster, feeling the clock tick down to my own
death, and experienced dying as a transcendent experience. I saw my life and the
lives of everyone... No, everything as being the experience of some higher
consciousness. As an atheist, I saw through the eyes of God. Of a being that
encompasses every atom, every quark, every string, something that guided every
tick of the universe since the beginning.
Hell, I became that deity. I had sex with my partner, felt like I was in the womb,
and that by fucking we had created the genesis, the seed of the universe, the life
force that would permeate a new beginning, and we would be part of it, guiding
and watching over it.
So yeah, acid might be a tiny bit distracting from the issues at hand. I don't want
to see Trump trying to touch the endless void and then claiming a wall needs to
be built around it.

Taking a large dose of psychedelics is a completely different experience than

If anyone wants to get an idea without having a bad trip for several hours, I can
recommend Salvia Divinorum. (I've had '20x extract' whatever that means, but
that was just crazy strong, maybe 10x can be handled better.) Salvia will
(probably) give you a cartoon of visuals and completely knock your brain out of
this world for ten minutes, DON'T do it alone because you won't know what you're

Clinton: Speedball Combo between a benzo and cocaine.

Trump: Grass and a muscle relaxer.
Both candidates have to take a swig and do the spinning thing with a baseball bat
to the forehead perpendicular to the ground.
The American audience drinks anytime 'morals,' 'The American People,' and
'values' are mentioned.

Kennedy and Nixon were both said to have taken Rx amphetamines like
Methedrine and Dexedrine, respectively. Having been prescribed Adderall and
Dexedrine in the past, I also think a lot of reporters are on something like that (or
maybe ephedrine), the day before through the night of the election. They way
they're up for so long and sometimes look like they're a bit geeked out, but, good

FADE IN:
INT. HOFSTRA UNIVERSITY - THE AUDITORIUM - EVENING
A tall, bespectacled man looks out across a large crowd of people. This is LESTER
HOLT, the debate moderator. He adjusts his tie with evident nervousness.
HOLT: Welcome, ladies and gentlemen, to the first 2016 Presidential Debate.
The crowd claps appreciatively.
HOLT: (CONT'D) That really wasn't worthy of applause. Tonight's debate will be a
bit... different from previous ones, in that each candidate will be under the
influence an unknown drug. It's up to you, the audience - and viewers at home to correctly guess the substance with which they have been dosed.
Holt waits for a moment. The silence grows heavy.
HOLT: (CONT'D) You can clap now.
The silence remains.
HOLT: (CONT'D) Oh, whatever. Let's bring out the contesta... er, candidates!
Hesitant applause breaks out, growing more enthusiastic as two figures appear.
The first is a slightly overweight man with a golden comb-over and a face like a
leather armchair. This is DONALD TRUMP. He is joined on the stage by a woman
whose icy smile is clearly meant to put people at ease, but accomplishes the
opposite. This is HILLARY CLINTON.
TRUMP: Hello. Hello. Hello. Hello. Hello. Hello. He...
CLINTON: (Interrupting) What?
TRUMP: I got stuck and I forgot how to stop.
CLINTON: Stop what?
TRUMP: Yes. I'm good at it. I'm the best. I've done it a lot, and I've always done
it better than most people, and I'm going to keep being good at it now.
CLINTON: ... What?
TRUMP: It's gone now. It left. That moment will never come again.
CLINTON: We should get a...
HOLT: (Interrupting) Well, I can see you're both sufficiently out of it. Let's have
our first topic of debate. Mister Trump, you will answer first.
TRUMP: That's a great question, and I'll tell you why it's a great question. It's
great because it cuts to the heart of what's...
HOLT: (Interrupting) I haven't asked it yet.
Clinton suddenly looks shocked.
CLINTON: Whoa! Whoa, wait a minute! What if... what if you did?
TRUMP: He definitely did. I can see it. There's a whole different world there,
where he did.
CLINTON: Did what?
TRUMP: I know you feel it, too. I can feel that you feel it. My opponent is lying if
she says she can't feel it, because we're all connected, and that's why it's so
important.
HOLT: (Shouting) Can I please ask the first question?!
Clinton starts giggling. Trump's eyes go wide as he suddenly becomes very
interested in stroking his tie.
CLINTON: That was a question!

TRUMP: I know. It was definitely a question. He asked a question, but he was
really speaking to us from the past. I know that. Anyone with eyes can see that.
That question - and that was a great question - is right there, in the past, but we
need to focus on the future.
CLINTON: Yeah. Yeah, I feel you.
Trump suddenly starts crying tears of joy.
TRUMP: This is it, right here! This is the past! We're looking back on this moment
from the future! That future is now! We need... we... we...
Trump becomes distracted by his tie again. Hillary pulls a bag of Funyuns out
from a hidden pocket in her pantsuit and struggles to open them.
HOLT: (Muttering) This is ridiculous. Go to a commercial.
CUT TO BLACK.
FADE IN:
Text on a white screen reads: "WHAT ARE THEY ON?"
TL;DR: It's up to you, the viewer, to decide what drugs the candidates
are on!

A shoeless Trump hangs ominously over his podium emitting a deep guttural
growl and swinging his head back and forth. Long streams of drool fall from his
mouth like a St. Bernard anticipating dinner. He's shifting his weight back and
forth and grinding the balls of his feet onto the carpet.
Clinton is on her knees with eyes the size of saucepans. She's staring at her own
hands on the carpet but seeing unknown horrors. Whenever Trump releases a
great coughing growl, Clinton tries to scream, but she lost her voice twenty
minutes ago and the only sound that comes out is like air escaping the mouth of

probably already tried everything here.
Jill Stein--LSD, maybe her "wifi causes cancer" nonsense would start to sound
sensible.
Gary Johnson--a dose of chlorine gas, for Aleppo's sake.
Clinton--weed, because she needs to convince people that she's going to disobey
her donors on this one. Maybe. Because she's always done that. /s
Trump--meth, just meth. Then his comments might sound less like racism and
more like true insanity, which would be funny as hell to see on live TV.

One of my friends was not spoiled as a teenager, but when he hit his early
twenties his dad had a big scratchcard win. Dad bought him a house and paid him
through university.
He currently likes to make speeches about how "Anything is possible. All you have
to do is go out and work for it."
He currently doesn't work. Dad pays for everything
EDIT: Wow I didn't expect so many replies! Just to clear a few things up:
In the UK you can win up to a million on scratchcards. His dad's win was in the
hundreds of thousands which completely paid for his tuition and a large chunk of
the house. He still has a mortgage to pay for, but from what he has told me the
amount he pays (or should I say dad pays) per month is very low. He also has a
roommate that pays him rent which all goes in his pocket.
He used to be a down to earth and self sufficient guy. Now he acts like a self
made internet millionaire

I've known several people who don't work for a living who are absolutely sure
that anything's possible if you try, and are completely against 'government
interference.'
One was living for free in a house his mother owned in exchange for keeping it up
-- which he didn't -- and stayed alive by charging up cards and rolling balances
from one to the next. Eventually his brother kicked him out and started actually
fixing the house. He had to get a job and lives with Mom. He hates his brother,

My girlfriend's roommate is kind of like this. I'm 28, have been employed full-time
since I was 15 but earlier this year was unexpectedly laid off and went on
unemployment benefits. She's 22, has never been anything other than a student
and her dad owns a bunch of successful restaurants. She loves spouting off about
how I need to find work(like im not trying), and how she saw a sign that the Del
Taco was hiring so it's not like places aren't hirinig. She fails to realize that I've
paid more in taxes the past 2 years than she has personally paid in her entire life,
my unemployment is paid by the company I used to work for, not her daddies
taxes. And me taking a job at Del Taco will make it infinitely more difficult for me
to find a job in my field at my rate in the future. But in her eyes: I'm lazy and it's
because I'm not trying.

My sister. She has always bitched and moaned but here are the highlights:
she called the cops during an argument and told the cops he tried to rape
her. The only reason he didn't get arrested is her history of bullshit and her
changing story. (My uncle also advocated to the cops to not arrest my dad)
she got a new car for some reason, she crashed it and got another, she
burned out an axel on it and got a used car.
she called my grandma who had cancer and told her "I hope you die you old
dinosaur"; the reason was that she wouldn't tell my mom to buy her
something
she didn't like the place my parents rented her so she cancelled the lease.
My parents rushed to help her get a new place
she has hit my mom before for not buying her stuff.
she has flunked out of 3 schools. One school she didn't even go to one
class; she didn't tell my parents despite the fact that they could have gotten a
refund.
Edit: one more:
after the cat died my parents bought her another one. She decided she
didn't even want it by the end of the day. Ended up being my cat. She kept
bitching but my parents finally told her that they weren't going to adopt
another one.
Edit 2: 50 upvotes (almost) edition!
She threw my mom's phone out the window because she was mad at her.
During a disneyland vacation she demanded her own hotel room (or just to
share one with only my cousin I can't remember which). She bitched for the
entire way there and my parents gave in.
Edit 3: 150 (about) upvote edition.
She once stabbed a door because she was mad at me. I was on the other
side of that door.
She once attempted to get my dog to run into a street with busy traffic
Edit 4: 420 upvotes edition:
She once got home high and claimed the cat (who needed medication) got
out. The cat slept in my room that night, but I put the cat back because he
was hungry. My parents thought the cat escaped through my window, we
looked outside for an hour before finding the cat in the room he was supposed
to be in. She didn't help look and laughed.
My grandma (the one who had cancer) was moving (money issues).
Everyone was supposed to help, my sister and my cousin decided to smoke pot
in the back of the house my grandma was selling. My parents and I had to
cover for her because my grandma couldn't handle any more stress.
Edit 5: 600 666 upvotes. Almost makes my dysfunctional family worth it!
She has been in jail before. The cops have come to our home several times.
The neighbors called from time to time. (Thanks to /u/Jimbobler for that idea)
She told the cops she was going to kill herself. Then complained that my
parents put her in the mental hospital and they didn't stop the cops.
Edit 6: A thousand upvotes and years of therapy edition!
She used to throw up in front of my parents when she wanted them to feel
bad. My parents took it seriously and assumed she was bulimic.
She used to do the same thing with cutting, she would cut herself
exclusively in front of my parents to make them think she had a mental illness.
She has called my mom over 500 times in one day. On just a normal bad
day, it can be about 200 calls and countless texts.
She has lived in several states including the midwest and east coast, all on
my parents dime. She called them all the time seemingly just to be nasty.
She harassed a family to the point they called they threatened to call the
cops because she claim they owed her money. They paid her for work she
didn't even show up to.
Edit 7: 1500 upvotes: Build the emotional wall edition!
After she falsely accused my dad, they (don't ask me who they is, I actually
don't know) sent in a social worker.This one isn't her fault: the social worker
was an idiot. Rich bitch with a Louis Vutton purse comes in and asks me a few
buzz questions (do you feel like you are walking on eggshells) and solves
nothing. back to things that are her fault . She started changing her story
again, saying he beats her. Then she changed it again, to he just emotionally
abuses her. I don't know if she tried to inch closer to the truth or she tried
throwing new charges or what.
she has purposefully let the cat out before. Luckily the cat didn't feel like
running away that day. (at least she didn't chase it into the street)
She told my aunt with fertility issues something along the lines of "Its a
good thing you can't get pregnant because you would be a horrible mother"
Edit 8: 2000 upvotes: 2nd place in this thread edition.
She was absent from school so many times the truant officer knew us by
name. Same with some of the police.
She told my mom that "This is the reason your mom died, because you are
a bitch" (or something along those lines) because my mom didn't want to give
her more money.
For one of her birthdays she ruined the entire thing and cursed at my
parents because it wasn't extravagant enough.
Edit 9: 3000 upvotes: "I swear new teacher, I am an only child" edition.
She would frequently run away, but only for a few nights. Enough to push
my parents buttons.
She has threatened my mom with a knife before. (I really wish they would
have locked that knife drawer)
She used to freak out at the grocery store if my parents didn't buy her
expensive food she liked.
I can't remember if this was her or my cousin, but one of them cursed out a
teacher in high school.
Also after my grandma died, my sister would criticize my mom for spending
the money my grandma specifically left for my mom, the criticism was that my
mom should have spent it on stuff for my sister. (and it wasn't polite criticism,
it was screaming)
Edit 10: 3500 Upvotes: The "Holy shit people I am not out of stories yet, how
fucked up was my childhood" edition.
She would frequently harass my dad, and still does to this day. She calls
him a rapist (proven false) and threatens she will call the cops again unless he
gives her money.
She spiked my cousins drink with vodka, it was obvious because it tasted
bad
my cousin has some problems with her mother, she told my cousin that it
was her fault.
She once broke a window with a baseball bat (maybe it was a golf club?)
and then when my parents called the cops, she blamed them for the fact that
she got arrested (yes, this was a different incident than when she told the cops
she wanted to kill herself).
Edit 11: 4000 Upvotes: Attempted kick outs edition
My parents once paid for her to live in the midwest on the condition she
went to school or got a job. It never happened.
I once enlisted my friend to serve her papers to legally evict her from the
home (How you doin, I know you are out there reading this! You owe me
money you salt miner!). My parents paid him and he bought us in-n-out
burger It was a tense 30 day wait. The police were called to help her get out
peacefully. I can't remember if she moved back in after that.
as was promised to /u/itswoot here is the time my parents let her back in.
She drove all the way up from (I think) LA? Maybe it was somewhere else. She
drove from somewhere damn it. After my parents told her not to. She showed
up at the door at like midnight and for some reason my parents let her in. She
did not leave for several months.
Edit 12: 4500 upvotes + Gold: I guess I can keep posting edition!
She transferred high schools several times, usually because she claimed
that someone did something to her. Eventually she just dropped out but not
before making my parents drive her to several different locations all across the
district (When she decided to go to school)
I was once told by my useless therapist to "make a list of all the bad stuff"
or whatever (Sort of like what I am doing now). She went into my room,
ripped it up. She started complaining to my parents that I said nasty things
about her and she had an "episode" about it. My parents at least sided with
me, don't go through my shit.
It got so bad that I finally installed a lock on my door.
Speaking of doors, she once kicked my parents door off the hinges. (Yes we
own cheap doors). She also put holes in several walls.
She shoplifted a bunch when she was a teen, never got caught, so maybe
there isn't justice in this world.

Set rules and boundaries and stick to them. If you tell your kid they can't have a
cookie right now and they start pitching a fit, don't give in and give them the
cookie just so they'll stop screaming. That only teaches them they just have to
scream and they'll get whatever they want. Pleading and reasoning with a
screaming child doesn't always have the best results. In my classrom, if a child
decides to throw a fit I put them away from the group (where they can't hurt
themselves or others) and tell them they can come back when they are done.
Usually within a few minutes they come back, ready to listen.

Also, when punishing be specific in what the punishment is for, what exactly is
being taken away, and exactly how long it will last. My parents constantly took
things away from me, sometimes without telling me why or that I was in trouble
in the first place. If I asked when I was allowed to have it back, that would
usually land me in more trouble. But if I didn't ask for it back at all, sometimes
whatever was taken away just would never be returned to me, and I would have
to steal it back.
Suffice it to say that it was not effective at all.

This is a good point. The most important part of the punishment is the child
clearly understanding it. Here's my list of what to explain to the child:
what the rule is

the reason for the rule
how he broke it
the reason breaking the rule is bad
how he can make up for breaking the rule
what the punishment is

But why are you getting the same phone every 3 weeks? What's the point? I can
understanding (slightly) getting a new phone every 3 weeks if you're an
enthusiast who wants to try every flavor of android, on every phone, and are like,
into reviewing them on a blog...
But why the fuck would you get the same phone every 3 weeks? Unless you're an
idiot and are dropping them that often - and even then, doesn't apple replace the
screen the first year or whatever?

My granny was in a retirement facility and she was fairly well taken care of. Baths
everyday, hair and nails done, 3 square meals, meds at the same time daily, etc.
This was paid for out of her retirement acount that my dad was the executor of
because he was the most successful of her children and could handle money very
well. My aunt, who lives a state over and spent literally no time even visiting her
in 8 fucking years (granny had a stroke, got dementia, and broke her foot all in
one go, aunt didn't even show up for that one), shows up one day and decided
that granny is going to live with her from now on because it's "deplorable that she
isn't living with the family." Mind you, granny had become incontinent before the
stroke and everything got worse from there, my sister was her caretaker for 4
years with no help from ANYONE else besides our father whose home she stayed
at for the prior 14 years. So my aunt moves my granny to her city, she gets
access to the considerable wealth that my dad had accumulated for my granny to
pay for her retirement, and my granny is dead less than a year later. They let her
fucking rot. They wiped out all of her bank accounts and savings. It actually gets
worse. What was left of her estate went to probate because she didn't have a will.
My aunt's family wanted her to be buried in their state so they could establish
"residence" to say that they were the ones deserving of the estate. My pa is
buried here. There is no way in hell they should be buried in two different
graveyards, much less two different states. So, my dad had to pay my aunt the
equivalent of her estates value (<$7000) for her to release the body so it could
be shipped over here (at my father's expense) to be buried (also at my father's
expense) next to her husband. No one from that aunt's side of the family showed
up for the funeral. Or the memorial service which was held a few days before. We
had family that was in their 90s that came from across the country to attend.
Fucking pieces of shit. Edit: As kal_el_diablo pointed out, even if you have a will it
goes to probate. From my understanding a trust will keep it out of probate, but
she had neither.

My college roommate and former best friend. Grew up spoiled as an only child.
Huge 5 bed house for the 3 of them, fancy truck to play with with bells and
whistles, daddy's credit card. When I got engaged I asked her to be my maid of
honor, and she told me no because she couldn't approve of my marriage. The
reason? He didn't have a bachelor's degree, so she was just certain that we
couldn't be happy.
8 years, 2 kids later... I'm still poor, but very happy and have my smoking hot
karate instructor husband who turned out to be a much better deal than making a
spoiled princess happy.
(Edit) I never imagined this particular story to be such a hot topic. I had plenty of
other issues that came up over the years, this was just icing on the cake.
Also, by poor I mean what society believes to be poor. We make ends meet, and
are not left wanting, but make less than the median income for our area by a
decent stretch.

for probably 7 or 8 years after they married. But now they've worked hard and
have gotten good salarys, two kids, a nice house, and a loving family.

I've worked at a private school in the UK this past year, and I have a few
examples of kids just having no idea they were spoiled, which just made it worse.
-16yr old comes into school on Monday complaining how unfair it was that his dad
grounded him for crashing their plane. I asked him how bad it was, and he said 'it
was only 40,000 worth of damage, which his dad can afford so what's the
problem'. My jaw dropped.
-Another 16yr old asks me what I'm doing for the summer break. I tell him
working mainly, with perhaps a weekend to visits a few friends. He COULD NOT
wrap his head around why I wasn't travelling, going on holiday etc, then followed
to go on about how he'd spend his summer at his private lake.
Saving the best one for last folks.
-On his birthday, one of the 18yr old students received a chain of hotels. A fully
operating 5* chain that would all be officially owned under his name. The nerve of
this kid to complain it wasn't what he wanted made me really resent working
there for a while.
Edit: To those doubting the truthfulness of these statements, this was the only 3
outlandish moments I had over the year so out of 800 kids, it's a small
percentage.
And to clarify, the 18yr old with the hotel was not expected to run it, he simply
would get the owners share of the profits from then on.

My parents literally don't believe children are allowed to own anything until they
have children of their own, and that parents own their children and everything
their children obtain until then. It's some weird neo-fascist shit. Pretty much
everything I own I want to keep I stash with a friend or in a hidden nook. Can't

[]fierce_princess 1200 points 20 hours ago
A girl I have known most of my life. Her parents treat her like she is the queen of
England or something. Growing up, if there was a new toy out that she wanted,
her parents bought her 5 (and if possible, in each color) because she would break
her toys.
She had 2-3 bedrooms. One was big enough to be a studio apartment alone.
Where did she sleep? Her parent's bedroom.
If she wanted to go somewhere, like Disney World, her parents dropped
everything to start planning that vacation.
When she started driving, she had 3 new cars in 8 months. Not because she
crashed them or they broke down, but because she just had to have the newest
model. I think she is on her 15th car now.
Never has had a job. Her parents pay for her and now her son.
In school, she had a "tutor." I say it in quotes because the tutor just did her
homework for her. I'm surprised she can even read and write, honestly. Although,
reading her Facebook statuses shows me she can't write much better than my 9
year old.
The worst part was... if she didn't like someone, she had her parents do their best
to try to ruin that person's life. She got her 7th grade teacher fired, claiming he
was being inappropriate with her. He wasn't, he never was in a room with her
alone. He was a kind, old man, but he didn't put up with her not doing her
homework. He failed her in a few subjects. He was never charged or arrested or
anything, no legal trouble from it, but the school did force him into retirement
because they were scared.

My cousin who's 8 years old.

My aunt is to blame for his spoiledness though.
He cannot except no for an answer. For example, Everytime he goes to the store
with my aunt he gets a toy or a game. And if he goes with me or my
grandparents or other aunt and we tell him, "No you're not getting a toy/game
we're just here to pick some groceries" and the boy throws the biggest tantrums.
It's so embarrassing.
Also because of this he always has to win whenever we play a game. Now not
that I try to win all the time but when I play a video game or board game I play it
usually with his twin sister who is a bit of a drama queen but is really mellow
compared to him. We were playing this star wars millennium falcon game and his
sister had won and he said "no I win" and proceeded to knock over all hers and
my pieces to which I scolded him telling him that wasn't nice since he had upset
his sister and I told him to apologize to which he did but still. I've heard from his
sister that his friends at school don't really like to play sports or games with him
because if that.
I feel bad for him to be honest, my aunt kinda screwed him up I feel by giving in
to every demand he wanted his whole life and am worried how badly it'll affect
him as he gets older.

I feel bad for kids like that too, as annoying as they can be. I know three guys
that we're spoiled as children. One of them ended up in a psychiatric hospital for
a bit. I went and visited him there two years ago. It's a fucking trip to visit your
friend in a nut house... Another friend is now 34, living in a flat that his mother
bought him. His mother also bought the flat upstairs, so that she can stay close
to him and keep an eye on him. When she goes travelling, she buys dozens of
frozen ready meals and puts them in his fridge, because she's worried he won't
eat and she knows that if she gives him money, he'll use all of it on drugs. He has
a very high IQ and got very good grades in school, even though he never did
homework and always smoked weed, but he's never finished any higher
education. Such a shame. I used to look up to him and be impressed with his
arguments in discussions, but now he just sounds immature and inexperienced.
Breaks my heart. The last friend managed to break the cycle. He also started
fucking up in his teenage years, started doing a lot of drugs, performed poorly in
school, had his well-off parents subsidize his lifestyle etc. Eventually, he crashed
hard and had a massive nervous breakdown and almost committed suicide, but I
and his family got him straightened out. He now lives abroad, makes very good
money, has a great job, a beautiful and sweet wife and a small daughter and he is
so chill that he doesn't even mind me smoking weed in front of him. I'm so proud
of him. I actually told him that last night on the phone. Anyway, the point is that
being a spoiled child can definitely translate into having some monumental
problems as an adult. People who were never told "NO!" often have a hard time
pacing themselves around drugs, for example.

Let me tell you about a fellow I've known for almost 30 years, who has yet to
grow up. We'll call him "Bullshit" for reasons I'll explain later.
Bullshit has a very wealthy family, courtesy of his dad's government work. For
some reason his parents fell in love with the small town I'm from, and moved the
family from the big city to our flyspeck town. When they first moved they had
Bullshit and his brother in a private school, but eventually moved him to public
school. I was introduced to him by a mutual friend, and he ended up in a lot of
my classes, and we bonded together over being comic book and RPG fans.
Bullshit's parents were incredibly free with their money toward their sons. There
were literally entire rooms of their house devoted to everything the kids bought.
In high school I worked out Bullshit was getting around $500 a month to buy
comics with, and the same again to buy video games.
After high school his parents pay for the entirety of his college education. During
his four years of college he has a job for one day, which his father got him. He
nopes out after one day, complaining that he had to work with people that
smoked. They didn't smoke around him, but he could smell it on their clothes,
and that was unacceptable.
After college he moves back to the area, his boyfriend in tow. His family supports
both of them in an apartment for several months, before he finally lands his job. I
don't know whether his father helped him get the job, but the fact that he
bragged for the first year about sleeping at his desk regularly makes me suspect
he helped him find employment.
Then things change. His brother, who was always the favored son, gets elevated
even further in their parents' eyes. They give him a house, among other things,
and the gravy train Bullshit has had begins to dry up. This is when Bullshit gets
the name Bullshit.
You see, in Bullshit's mind, since his parents are no longer subsidizing his life, it's
up to the rest of the world to bend over backwards for him.
You're out to eat with him and you have leftovers? You should give them all to
him.
You got a computer game or e-format book he wants? You should make him a
copy.
You're playing a role playing game? You should memorize exactly how his
character works and tell him what he can do each round if he forgets about it, on
top of you playing your character or running the game.
You have family emergency and can't make it to an event he's at? You should
ignore your flesh and blood and come out with him.
For more years than I can remember anytime anyone refused one of his selfserving demands he would get enraged, sometimes to the point of throwing
things, sometimes to the point of leaving. Without fail he would shout
"BULLSHIT!" at the top of his lungs every time, at a decibel level you would never
expect from a man his size.
Eventually we all got tired of his behavior, and one night as he began a tantrum
everyone present shouted "BULLSHIT!" at him in perfect unison, even mimicking
the gestures he always made. There was no preplanning; we just all got tired of
his behavior and snapped on him simultaneously. He mellowed after that.
I cut him out of my life for several years, for reasons related to his boyfriend.
He's been reappearing in my circle of friends for the last year, though he
frequently ghosts on them. I understand he's out with his parents whenever he
does this, and I suspect he's hoping to become the favorite son again and have
his gravy train restored.

I knew one girl in highschool who was one of the many rich kids. She asked her
dad to buy her a new Mercedes for her birthday, and of course he did. But it
wasn't the colour she asked for, so she refused to go to school or talk to him until
he got her the right coloured one.
Edit: another spoiled one is my old neighbour who was a drug addict and
alcoholic. Her dad also happened to be an owner of a large company in our city.
So her dad bought her a house (worth about 300k). She let her dogs shit and
piss all over and completely ruined the flooring. Her dad also bought her a nice
car (BMW I think) and she crashed it. So he bought her a new one (because who
would get it repaired right?) And she got drunk and crashed it too. He bought her
one final one, but she crashed that one too. Then he kicked her out of the house
since he kept it in his name, not his daughter's. She also lost her kids in a
custody battle.
Edit 2: Damn, my shitty neighbour got me 400 karma! I should write about her

My half-brother (genetically). His mother was so proud that she raised him, birth
to teens, without ever chastising him or punishing him. His adoptive father was
meek enough to go alone with his wife's "parenting."
Half-bro never had time out, or talks about what he had done, etc. Not once in
his household. Oh, he was a douche. I was made to play with him because we
were kinda the same age, and I tried to get out of it constantly.
He was a terror at school from day one.
Even in high school, he hadn't had enough discipline in school to make up for lost
time, and did stuff like shoot sharp pencils and bits of glass at other students.
Funny story: once he missed so badly that he shot himself in the eyeball. I
laughed more than I should have at that. I think his teacher did too, before

A friend of mine and her friends I'll include a few examples off the top of my
head:
she was talking with her mother once on how she needed to bring $1,300 to
go to a birthday party
she goes to Disneyland quite regularly (tickets are quite expensive where I
am), and brings several hundred dollars for expenses on the day
she regularly buys luxury handbags (her collection's in the 40s and she calls
the 3-5k dollar bags 'the cheap ones') and
she has to have a different one for every time she hangs out with one of her
group of friends.
from what she says, a friend of hers (let's call her Courtney) check that it's
a different bag, and she can feel whether it's real leather. If it's not a new
expensive ass handbag, then she spills certain confessions you told her.
Courtney once killed a cat by shoving it down a sewer pipe or some shit like
that because it was 'annoying her'.
Courtney also stole money from a beggar and then burned it.
^ "You can get nothing with $10, might as well burn it."
She's thrown eggs at people who are part of the groups listed below:
"I fucking hate fat, nonwhite, part of LGBT, poor, nerds, gamers, people with
glasses, and anyone suffering a midlife crisis."
they take trips overseas along with their friend group every few months
because they feel like it
my friend, last i heard, has to lie to Courtney about where she lives as it's
not a rich neighbourhood (and by rich, i mean that the houses are tens of
millions of USD, minimum)
that's all i remember. my friend told me all this a few months ago, so i'm sure
some details have slipped out.
more examples (on Courtney, not my friend), now that my mind is clearer:
She's bullied LGBT+ friends to suicidal thoughts and brags about it

^ "As you see, I have power over people."
She tried to poison her brother for cash
$1000 shoes? Cheap. One could afford better.

child whose parents used material goods and money to buy his affection.
On the first day of this particular sub-job, Conrad informed me he didn't have to
do his work, he would just get his father to pay the teacher "a shitload of money"
and he would get an A. I stated I didn't care what he did as long as he did not
disturb his classmates and wrote his comments in my sub notes. He was placated
for the day and dinked around on his cell phone until the period ended.
The second day really showed Conrad's true colors. The class was supposed to do
group work and he was "working" with a group of his friends. He spent the work
time continuously talking about how much he hated his mom because she bought
him a used 2013 Ford Focus for his 16th birthday, instead of a brand-new BMW
that he wanted. I made a comment that I would love if my parent gifted me a
fairly new used vehicle, to which he commented, "Of course you would. You're a
teacher and poor." I told him to get back to work and if I caught him off-task
again, he would need to work alone. He was fine after that.
The third and final day of my assignment, Conrad was in an absolute tizzy about
something his mother had done. Probably the BMW thing. Idk or care. What I did
care about was that he kept commenting on how he was going to sabotage his
mother's plane so "that bitch would fall out of the sky and die." I told him to rein
in those comments as they were not appropriate for school and could get him in
serious trouble. I left him with his group to continue work from the previous day.
Approxmately five minutes later, I hear nervous laughter coming from Conrad's
group. He has his phone out and is showing the group something on it. I walked
over and asked to see what was causing such a fuss. Conrad (the idiot) showed
me his Snapchat story which consisted of a picture he took of his mother with an
emoji gun pointed at her head and the text "Imma shoot dis bitch." I got to send
him to the office, talk to the school social worker and the school resource officer.
All because this kid didn't get a BMW and his parents couldn't be arsed to show
him some actual love and affection for his entire life.
TLDR: Kid didn't get a BMW and threatened to kill his "bitch" mother
repeatedly.

I'll volunteer someone I know. However I think she deserves it. She was a teen
Mom, got married at 17, husband cheated she divorced him and he took off. A
month after her divorce she meets a man, he seems nice but she was not into
him. She tried to ditch this guy after a couple unsuccessful forced dates. He
instead would show up at her house and cry to her Mom. Cue holiday season, her
Mom invites older creep then screams at her to go to his families Christmas
because he told everyone she was going. She not being able to make decisions on
her own since her Mother was very forceful went. She got drunk that night
because her Mother locked her out of the house, so she had to stay at his. He
forced her into sex. She got pregnant.
She told her Mom when she found out she was pregnant she couldn't keep this
child. She thought her Mom would understand she can't have another child with
out being prepared. She tried everything. Including booking an abortion and was
going to move out of her Mothers. The creepy old fuck told her Mom her plan.
She ended up being forced to have the baby. The Man was allowed to spend
nights, no matter what she did. Begging and crying, her Mother didn't care.
Called her a whore and a bitch. Eventually she had enough, and was able to get
her old job back and move out. He would park in front of her house. He would not
leave her alone. Her Mother eventually broke her down, she agreed to marry the
guy, she lost her job. She was going to lose her house, her kids.
Her Mother threatened her with everything under the sun. Her Mother told her no
man would ever look at her and she would be alone raising two kids as trash. She
was told two kids from two different Dads labeled you a complete slut. She
married the man. 17 years older than her. She gave up, and gave in. Her wedding
night he sat on her and back handed her for not wanting to have sex with him.
The day after she married him, something snapped in her. Her Mother tried to
exercise her power of her but it didn't work. She told both it wasn't going to
happen. She gained the strength to leave him and her Mother. She knew a lawyer
who was able to get spousal and child support. She met a man. He was good to
her. Helped her move out. She left everything she owned with her newly ex
husband.
She went to counselling and realized all the damage the old creep and her Mother
had done. She got help. She kept the man who helped her around. He didn't get
involved with the kids and he kept his distance for three years. They somewhat
dated and realized they loved each other very much. However it just wasn't
working for them. He was a bit selfish and she knew she had to let him go. She
knew he was a great support but he didn't fully respect her at times. This man
went away to work for months one year and she left him 3/4's of the way through
when he was about to return back. He came back with a vengeance.
He sent 10 bouquets of flowers, a diamond bracelet. Wrote several cards. Showed
up crying on her door step. Begging for a chance to be the man she deserved.
Admitting his wrong. They talked it out. They tried it out. It worked. He was
dedicated and loyal. Caring and gave so much attention to her and her kids. He
proposed to her in a castle in the mountains with over a carat diamond ring. She
said yes. They found out she was pregnant. He was excited. They bought a
house. Moved in together. Planned their wedding. He let her choose the house. He
bought her a brand new car. He gave her a credit card she racks up and he pays
off monthly. He treats her like a queen. Expensive purses, beautiful jewelry. He
buys her everything. She doesn't ever want any of it, but he wants to spoil her
and brings it back for her when he comes home from work over seas. She doesn't
have to work ever again or even get a college education. She is pregnant with his
second child. This is her fourth child. He's ecstatic. She's ecstatic. She is spoiled
rotten. They're looking into getting a live in nanny.... however she deserves it.

Hope I'm not too late. Let me tell you about 'Rebecca'
Single mom who is a lawyer for a big phone company. Rebecca is the youngest
child with a large gap, so she's basically an only child. Here are a few things that
happened in the year we were friends: (Sorry if formatting is weird; on mobile)
Mom would always buy her Cadillacs and she would wreck them within 6-8
months.
Has worked at two different locations of the chain restaurant we worked at
together. Has been fired from one twice and the other (where we met) four times.
(For reason below)
Shows up to work 2-3 hours late and is never in uniform so she spends an hour in
the restroom getting ready. This happened more frequently than her actually
showing up on time.
Only reason she even worked to begin with was her mom wouldn't pay for her
boob job. She did earn enough to get them and they are not very good.
After she's been fired once, she'll wait until there are new managers at the store,
(high turnover rate) apply and be hired again.
Rebecca is in college getting her undergrad. She's currently 24, but cannot pass
most of her undergrad classes. She has stated multiple times to multiple people
that she expects the university she attends to pay for her DOCTORATE degree
that she will complete by the time she is 26. A doctorate degree in two years
without being able to pass undergrad classes? Okay.
Emailed the same university (literally emailed [university]@emailaddress) to
request them to buy a multi million dollar mansion for her so she can start an
orphanage. She sent links of said mansion with the email.
When she didn't get any results from the university she email Harvard wanting to
apply. She posted the email on SnapChat and the first line read something like, "I
know I don't have the best grades but I would be a great addition to the
community!" Harvard has not responded.
Her mom bought her a very large house in a nice neighborhood so she could get
away from her "controlling" boyfriend. He asked her to get a job to pay her part
of the bills so she begged her mom to buy her this house.
The last I've heard of her is she ran her car into the boyfriend's house and then
texted him saying, "hope you like the new decor, kiss my rich ass." He has a
restraining order against her and the detective he hired said they could, "bury her
rich ass."

Probably myself.
Of everyone I really know, I'm the only only child. Didn't grow up rich by any
means, single parent (Dad never around nor provided any money) working class
household (Nan also lived with us, but she came to live with us). But I had a lot
of toys and games growing up, think my mum didn't really get much for herself or
the flat. If I wanted something, there was a good chance I'd get it (within
reason).

[]Literal_Genius 203 points 21 hours ago*
My coworker. When I complimented her ring, which features a mid-sized emerald

stone, she said, "Thanks, my dad bought it for me for my 16th birthday."
I said, "Wow, 16?"
She said, "Yea, it's no big deal. My dad has a jeweler he really likes." Likes it's
totally normal for a father to buy several precious stones as jewelry for his
teenaged daughter.
Also, she's a horse girl so...
EDIT: Sure, emeralds aren't that expensive, but the fact that she thinks
everyone's dad has "a gem guy" is what I was referring to.

My friend; she gets whatever she wants whether it be tickets to expensive foreign
concerts, albums/photobooks of music artists, a new car when she totaled her
first one(I was in the car when it happened and she ran a red light like a freaking
idiot) and she never does anything around the house. I was talking with her and
her parents were amazed by the fact that I actually do chores around my
house :/

Was watching a movie together on a couch and she went to lay her head on my
lap. I got up to get her a pillow and blanket and set her up on the other end of
the couch.

Mine is like a cross between yours and /u/PM_ME_XBOX_MONEYCODE 's.

(TL;DR: I don't realize a girl coming over and sitting in my lap (and on my
erection) might have a thing for me, and I very nearly miss my chance.)
I was with a group of friends in college. My group of friends was doing an Avatar:
TLA marathon over several weeks (it's a cool series yo). We were taking a pause
between episodes to grab snacks (EDIT: snacks not snakes), so I announce that
I'm going to grab water and I'll fight anyone who takes my chair (it was an
attempt at a joke, but I did like that chair).
I come back and a girl is sitting in my chair. She says "fight me". Now I get really
worried at this point because I don't actually intend to fight someone over my
chair, but I did want to try and contest it (if only because it was funny). I try to
play it cool, manage to argue in a joking-enough way (I was worried about people
thinking I got angry over nothing, so this was important), and she does
eventually get up. I take my place in my chair, and then right before the show
started back up again the girl (the same from before) comes over and sits in my
lap. She says "You don't mind, do you?" I'm like "no, sure".
So we are watching the episode, she's sitting in my lap, I'm trying very hard to
avoid getting erect, failing, and then trying to adjust myself subtly in my seat so
that she doesn't notice. This goes on for maybe an hour? A little longer? I don't
remember exactly.
Finally, she gets up and says (out loud, but also to me) that she (and some of her
friends) have to go to a party. They leave. It then occurs to me that I also have to
go to this party (it's a mixer our RA set up to get to know each other in our dorm,
and its mandatory). So I leave too. I go there, she notices me and starts talking
to me again.
It's only when I notice her talking to her friends and asking for advice on what to
say (followed immediately by walking over to me and asking exactly what her
friend advised her to ask) that I realize what's going on.
I follow her around for the rest of the mixer, play Cards Against Humanity with
her and a few people from my dorm, we walk back, she brings me to my door,
she starts to ask a question by can't seem to get it out ("You know that thing
where you are supposed to say something before you..."). Eventually, she asks
straight up "Can I kiss you?". I say sure! She grabs me and just starts making out
with me (This is my first kiss, and I was expecting something, tamer; meanwhile
she was shoving her tongue in my mouth). I pull away, she apologizes for being
rough. I tell her it's cool. I go into my dorm.
We started going out and we were together for about nine months. That was my
first relationship (and, relatedly, the first time a girl ever asked me out!) Things I
later discovered from her:
She was in general surprised I never picked up on anything and at times

thought I wasn't interested.
She did, in fact, notice my erection when she was sitting in my lap, and
quite early on too..
She was intending to sleep with me that very night, even after our awkward
kiss, and so she was surprised when I waved her off saying "Good night!".
Score another one for being blind, I guess.
Much later in our relationship, I found out from her that apparently girls
check me out fairly regularly and I never notice. (This dumbfounded me).
Insanely curious, I asked her "when?", "who?" and most importantly "How
can you tell?". The answers were "fairly often, usually when we were walking
together", "people she doesn't know the names of", and "you can just see
their faces and how they look at you (me) and you can tell." Now I'm single,
still can't tell. rip.
Apparently she also found out (i.e. someone told her) that I was known to
have a crush on a girl from that group of friends (the ones I was with when
we were watching Avatar). I'd never made a move or said anything that I
thought was flirty or giving hints, so this was absolutely news to me.
Apparently not only can I not tell, but other people can tell about me even when I
think I'm being quiet about it.

Went to a party, was hitting it off with a girl I knew through some social circles.
She was cute and a ton of fun, but I had to take off after a few hours.
The party was in a friends apartment in the same building I lived in at the time.
She was following me out, saying she needed to leave as well. We both called the
elevator, and just kept small talk/flirting going on in the elevator.
I got to my floor, and she said that she thinks she forgot her jacket at my
apartment. At this point I didn't catch what was going on, so I told her that she's
never been to my apartment.
I only realized what the hell was going on after the elevator doors closed.
...
EDIT 1: Wow, this blew up a lot more than I expected it to. And it came from the
time when I cockblocked myself..
And to those that are asking,
relationships or social cues. I
around a lot so I never really
which still makes dating a bit
yes, I'm a bit clueless when it comes to any sort of

try to make an effort, but growing up, I moved
picked up seeing social cues until I hit college,
messy in my life. Yay.
EDIT 2: Oh wow, gold?! Thank you kind stranger! First gold ever and it came
from me sharing the story on how I derailed my own dick... Still awesome though

We were at my house studying for an organic chemistry exam. Both of us were

sitting close at the table with my laptop in front. I was talking her through the
mechanisms and such, and she would lean on me and lay her head on my
shoulder. As I kept going, she wrapped her arms on mine as I kept blabbering on.
I thought I was massively friend-zoned, which is why I didn't think much of it.
We took a break to watch a movie and she suggested we spooned on the couch.
"I'm so friend-zoned that she's comfortable spooning with me" I thought to
myself. She probably grew impatient that I wasn't picking up the signs, so out of
nowhere, she does a 180 and starts making out with me. Been together for 2
years now.

We took anatomy and biology in college. We used to study together. I mentioned

that I had an inguinal hernia that I was having surgery on in a few weeks.
She asked to see. I explained that it was right down beside my scrotum. She said
she didn't care, and was curious to see what it looked/felt like.
I undid my pants and pulled my underwear aside enough that she could see. She
reached in and cupped my balls and had me cough so she could feel the effect.
She palpated around my junk feeling the hernia.
The whole time I was concentrating very hard on other things, I assumed this
was a "professional" curiosity.
Okay, you're thinking. She could've just been a curious, and wanted nothing
more.
Then she asked if it got better or worse during a BJ. I replied that I hadn't been
lucky enough to have my condition and a girlfriend simultaneously.
She replied that I didn't need a girlfriend, just the right girl, all while gently
cupping my scrotum.
I looked at her, buttoned up, and said something about wishing I could find that
person.
Turns out she blew nearly every willing guy in the class, and a few of them ended
up with an STI. So as dumb as I was, I dodged a bullet.

A girl (my crush at the time) and I were at my cabin alone for a night and all of
our friends were coming out the next day. When we first arrived she said, "I call
that bed" and I told her, "But that's my bed" she then jokingly said, "Well then I
guess we're sleeping together."
Sure enough, she throws her pillow on my bed and lays down. I then lay down
beside her on my side away from her (I was incredibly awkward and
uncomfortable about the whole thing). I can hear her moving and shuffling and
then I twitch my leg a little bit and touched her leg, she had gotten very close to
me, I immediately apologized and moved closer to the edge of the bed. I felt like
she was just messing with me because she knew I liked her.
About 3 years later she told me she kinda wanted to mess around with me but
thought I didn't want to.
Fuck. Me.

I was 17, and not worldly-wise. Went back to her halls (dorm) fairly late at night.
I was examining her CDs (it was the nineties, this was one of the ways you
assessed if someone was okay) and turned back round to find her sat on her bed
in her underwear.
I said "Oh, sorry, you need to go to bed?", and left.
About two years later I was walking down the street when it finally clicked.

I used to flirt with one of the female bartenders at a bar I worked at. It was really
fun and there were so many signs.
The biggest one that I should have obviously taken was when we left work at
about 4am and I tried tickling her. No reaction and then she says:
"I'm only ticklish in one place."
She then began to rub her inner thighs near her lady parts. Basically giving me
permission to go in and "tickle" her.
I laughed and said:
"Oooo now I know how to torture you with tickles. I'll get you next shift."
Drove home. On the way home wow did I realise what just happened. She did not
like the denial and that door was closed forever. :(

I was 22 and working as a cashier at Target. I rang out a VERY beautiful older
woman. The kind of womanr/gonewildstories are written about. I scan her items,
pitch a RedCard, all the usual jazz. After I give her the receipt, I turn around to
restock bags. When I turn back, she hands me the receipt, smiles, and walks
away.
I look at the receipt and she has written her phone number. Immediately, I yell
"Why did you write your phone number?" She comes back, takes the receipt,
crumbles it up and says "If you have to ask, you're not ready." Walks away.
I explained to one of my co-workers, and he hit me.

My best friend and I are talking on the phone.

We spend a couple of hours that day talking about stuff that turns us on, and her

She then tells me she's cooking something with garlic in it. She eats whatever it
is, making yummy noises while we're still on the phone.
She then tells me she's going to get undressed and take a shower. She went out
of her way to tell me she was leaving the front door unlocked.

High school, 9th grade (aka freshman year). Super hot girl, my friend, and me
are hanging out. We go back to her place because nobody is home. After a little
bit, my friend says he has to go home and leaves. Me and hot girl are sitting on
couch watching some crap on TV. She turns to me and says "wanna see my new
swimsuit?" I thought for sure she meant she was going to go get it, bring it back,
and hold it out to show it to me. That didn't sound interesting to me, so I said "no
thanks." A little while later I left. Realized what happened about 5 years later.
Another time, I'm 22. Playing on a recreational sports team. I would usually drive
this one girl on our team home afterwards. On one of the drives, I mentioned that
my hands were cold (it was winter). She says "when my hands are cold, I usually
put them between my legs... it's always warm down there." I thought about this
for a moment, and concluded that my pants were too thick to meaningfully warm
my hands. "I'll just put on some gloves, I guess." Thought nothing of it for years.
A couple weeks later she tried again with "Do you have a girlfriend?"
"Nope"
"I can help you with that ;)"
She got through to me that time.

So it was at a party at a beach house. I had gotten there early and claimed a bed
but then some late comers came and piled their stuff on the bed I had chosen. I
was kinda pissed about being kicked from my spot by assholes I didn't even
know. While I was complaining about this to some friends and giving one of the
girls what was later described as "a back rub good enough to work a year and a
half of law school out of her shoulders" she mentioned that she was sleeping in a
queen size bed and I could share it if I wanted. I thought she was being really
nice and hoped it would lead to something but since I had no experience I didn't
know if share a bed meant the same as let's fuck. Considering we've been
together over a year and a half now I guess I did something right

Years ago I was crushing on this girl HARD, for months. She worked for the same
company I did, but in different building, so we rarely had the opportunity to
interact. We'd probably only spoken a couple of times in passing.
Well, a few days before Christmas one year, she comes waltzing up to me
unexpectedly at work, wearing one of those party headbands with a springy
plastic mistletoe bouncing around over her head. Says something like, "Hey,
whats up. Like my hat?"
"Uh...yeah, cute," I say.
"It's mistletoe...," she says, with a big shaky grin. "People have been trying to
kiss me, can you believe it!"
My dumbass responds with. "Yeah. That sound's pretty inappropriate," like I'm
damn Dwight Shrute from The Officeor something.
She says, "Oh, ok" and hightails it out of the building without looking at another
person.
At the time I was a little heartbroken that the girl I thought I liked was the type
to just randomly go around asking coworkers to kiss her, and I resented being
lumped in with them (arrogance). Didn't occur to me until later that I was
probably the only person she approached. Shit, she probably went out and got
the silly hat specifically to set up that scenario with me because it was clear that I
didn't have the balls to make the first move beyond giving her puppy-dog eyes
for half a year. The way she shuffled away was like someone punched in the gut.
Idiot.

Problem is if you read her signals wrong, getting fired wouldn't be the worst thing
that could happen to you. I know a guy that was in almost the same situation
who's now looking for work and doesn't have a reference. Flirt with a co-worker?
Sure, go for it. Kiss a girl under mistletoe at a party? Sure. Kiss a co-worker, at
work, after she says she doesn't like people trying to kiss her? Hell no, not going
there.

Well, it was at a holiday party. A bunch of us were playing Melee and everyone
was having trouble beating me, so they made a gauntlet to best me. After a few
hours of wailing on them I decided to go to another room where people were
watching movies. Elf was on, so I stayed for a while and this really cute girl sat
next to me after a few minutes. She asked if she could cozy up next to me
because she was cold. I said sure and she grabbed a blanket. A while passed and
I felt her hand move onto my crotch. I was really, really confused. We were in a
room with dozens of friends and she kept moving her hand for a while. Nearing
the end of the movie most people were asleep and she asked me if I wanted to
go upstairs with her. I told her that I wanted to finish the movie.
It was only after the movie ended that I realized what was happening. We
eventually got together a few days later and she said that I'm the most oblivious
guy that she's ever met.

Before my boyfriend and I began dating we always used to chit chat at my work.
One day he mentioned his work gave him passes to go to the zoo and get a one
on one with the new penguins. I love animals and I especially love penguins so I
kept mentioning how long it's been since I've been to the zoo and how much I
love animals and how he's sooooooooooooooooooooooooo lucky for getting
passes. He thought nothing of it and later on he and his buddy from wrestling
went together.
It wasn't till we actually got together that I asked why he didn't ask me to go with
him and his eyes got so big and he was like "wait! you wanted to go with me? OM-G, you mean we could've perhaps started dating right then and there....but,
what? But O-M-G....so many months later and I FINALLY asked you out
hahahahaahahaha I'm an idiot, do you still wanna go?" Lmfao.

This one prob sounds ludicrous but I was only 16 and a virgin at the time.
Was staying over at my mates house and found myself watching a film alone with
his twin sister while he was already asleep in his own room. It was lateish. She's
wearing just a long t-shirt ready for bed. She says to me 'ow my pussy feels
sore', she then throws herself back on the bed opening her legs at he same time
and says 'is it a bit red?'. I had a very quick look and said 'yeh it's a bit red', then
just stood there as the silence grew awkwader. After what seemed like ages she
flipped herself back up and said 'you may as well fuck off out of my room'.
I did kick myself afterwards about it but it came so out of the blue and happened
so fast that I couldn't compute quick enough.

She was the awkward one here.

My pussy is sore, is it red? Is there something wrong with it? I mean, it feels
infected, like an STD or something bad. Can you sniff it and see if it smells gross?

beforehand, so I politely say, "No, I didn't, but thank you."
"Yes. You did. You dropped this," she says firmly.

At this point, I'm irritated that this girl clearly doesn't realize that I'm more aware
of the contents of my pockets than she is, so I tell her once again, in front of
increasingly bewildered passengers, that I did not drop any paper.
Her mom (I assume) laughs, and the poor girl, exasperated at this point, says
"Just take the paper!" So I say, "Fine!" And return to my seat, where my parents
laugh at me while I open the paper with her phone number on it and realize I'm
the dumbest person I will ever meet.

Was taking a bartending class. This girl stood next to me every time we'd take
our places behind the bar to make fake drinks. She was always really friendly.
One time we got asked to make a drink for the person next to us. Girl looks right
into my eyes and says, "I want you to give me a screaming orgasm." (That's an
actual drink). It was 100% a double entendres but I didn't pick up on it until
months later.

Personally, as a female, I don't understand how me loudly engaging with

everyone BUT YOU, avoiding eye contact with you and coyly, if not seductively,
ignoring you does not SCREAM for you to hump me immediately.
I don't know how to live right....
Edit: I'm obviously eluding to the fact that I suck at flirting. Evidently I suck at
implying that through sarcasm as well. Basically: I suck. Which you would think
would get me MOAR men... Ehhhhh?
Edit two: I'm alluding not eluding. MOAR SUCKAGE.

At least you admit to this.

Some women are like "So I was being super obvious, and he just blew me off!"
What did you do that was obvious?
"I said his name, but with a flirty tone, then looked at him several times from
across the room with a sexy face, then when he said goodbye, I said his name
again. I mean, I practically told him I was interested!"
No, you didn't.

Oh boy
1) Party is settling down and it's just the two of us. We're talking about random
things, and I say "I wonder what people back in the day did for fun. She
responds, "they had sex"
2) end of the school year and all of the staff (I was an RA for 2 years) get
together for a banquet. We're walking to the destination and one of the girls
keeps running into me with her tits (I mean like 5+ times)
3) girl on my floor and I get into the elevator together. After a bit of silence she
turns to me and asks "how do I look?"
There's probably a 1000 more.

Some of them are understandable since guys have to worry about being creepy.
And I've been oblivious to being hit on too, it can float over your head if you're
not expecting it.
But the cashier guy who asked the hot lady why she gave him her number...he's
too pure for this earth.

My biggest feeling is sadness that men apparently aren't taught to value

She asked to watch TV in bed and got naked under the covers, asked me if I
thought she needed to shave her bikini zone and I was like "Nah, that feels fine".
It took her two hours until she just grabbed me. In my defence I had been awake

Back in the myspace days my freshman year in high school this girl and I were
commenting back and forth and I had a huge crush on her. We're deep in a convo
and she says her mom always wanted her to date someone with Filipino blood
cause she would wonder what her kids would look like. I said, "oh I hope you find
someone lucky enough that fits that description lol". I'm half Filipino btw. It
wasn't until way later I found out she was talking about me and she had a crush
on me too.

One girl grabbed me by the tie and pulled me on top of her on to the bed. I got
up and apologized
Another time one girl kept telling me and another girl how attractive I was, and
kept bringing up the fact, like "[girl 2], how do you not see it? He's really cute".
Then kept asking me to go back to mine but wouldn't tell me why. So I just told
her maybe later (hint: later never happened)

Teenagers, right around 14. Earlier that day she asked how big my dick was. I
was 1000% sure she was joking, so I said 16 feet. She laughed and said no
really, how big is your dick. I said I lied, its only 15.5.
Later that day she come over to me with a popsicle and basically started
deepthroating it while looking at me. I immediately thought hey I want a popsicle
too, so I left, got an orange creamsicle, and played Metal Gear Solid 2 for a
couple hours. In my defense, I did finally beat the fight against the RAYS.

For context, I ride a motorcycle.

A very attractive coworker once questioned me about my bike and asked a bunch
of questions about it, also expressing interest in wanting to learn how to ride. At
one point she asked me if I'd take her for a ride.
Next thing I know she's wearing a promise ring and I felt like an idiot.

Not that I've ever missed something as obvious as this; it's really more of a tip

crush on you, she still does.

Had a party while my parents were gone. End of the night I tell one friend to use
my parent's bed and that this girl could use my bed and that I'd sleep on the floor
in the living room (another friend was already asleep on the couch.
About 5 minutes later the girl comes out and asks me to sleep in my room
because sleeping in new places makes her uncomfortable. I agree, come in, plop
down on the floor. As soon as I do she says I can sleep in my bed with her. I tell
her the floor is fine, but she keeps asking so finally I jump into bed.
I'm wiggling around and complain about my back being sunburned. She says
she'll rub aloe on it. I tell her it'll be fine, but she demands to. So I'm half naked,
it feels great, she finishes, I thank her and go to sleep.
It took me telling that story to my friend the next day before I understood what
was going on. We ended up dating for a while and I got to get my dick wet for the
first time, so that was cool. But then she ended up crazy and immature.

My roommate was a bit of a "player" (hate saying that word but it's the best fit).
Was seeing a girl in the US, had a girlfriend in Japan, and was also macking it to
the girl that lived across the hall (college dorm).
She keeps coming to my room when he's gone to hang out. One day comes over
with her pillow and says her neighbors are being too loud and she can't sleep.
Then she curls up in my bed under my covers and asks me if I want to watch a
movie.
I sat at the end of the bed, watched a movie, then went and slept in my
roommate's bed because mine was "taken".
Dumb.. dumb dumb dumb.

I'd just finished work and was a bit grumpy and landed in to meet some buddies
at a nearby bar. The bar staff were ignoring me and I was getting visibly annoyed
after a while. A very nice attractive lady comes up to me and begins, real flirty,
asking why I look so annoyed and said she'd seen me in there before. Me being
me, I went off on a spiel about how they were ignoring me, how I'd just finished
work and OH LOOK NOW THEYRE DOING THE CASHUP so she didn't really stick
around. Connected the dots the next morning and spent a good ten minutes with
my hands to my face.
