That 1st story requires a line from the "Miranda Rights" which reads: " if you cannot afford a lawyer, one will be given to you free of charge ". That mother has no rights to her daughter's life savings to bail that son out of jail!

He had 10,000 bucks at 18? Badass.

1st story: I like how the mother only mentioned borrowing the money and paying it back once the very 1st time she brought it up and then never again. It seemed everyone involved OP ,the dad ,and the mom knew that was a lie and there would never be an effort to pay anything back.

First story: OP's mother doesn't care about both of her sons. She doesn't want to shell out money for the brother's lawyer. And tried to use and manipulate the op to get their life savings. Second Story: Karen will cause a car accident, one day if she keeps up her act. Third Story: As a man, hearing it makes me angry. No means no. Why can't these assholes just listen? Op should just dump him immediately. For safety, who knows what that "friend" could do. Fourth Story: The "friend" is just so suspicious. It's not normal behaviour for a person whom you have zero contact after a long time period then suddenly appear and ask for a large sum of money. She either gotten herself in trouble with shady people or have a huge health issue or most likely just a plain and simple scamming. Fifth Story: All talk no action. Sixth Story: Sorry op, but you gotta leave her. She is abusive. All the evidence is there. Popular or not, getting hit is not good. And most likely she is treating you like a walking punching bag.

Story 4 : If your best friend is ghosting you, her husband and her family, she's having an affair or several and probably is into drugs consumption or some sort of criminal activities landing her some money is the worst call ever.

7:00 A bit harsh knowing the kid really didn't do anything wrong at all. Not all Karen children are horrible.

Last story: Take some self-defense/martial arts/boxing classes or something and next time she tries to hit or kick you again, wait until her guard is down and strike her MUCH harder than she hit you and say, "whoops. I didn't mean to hit you that hard 🤭". The best way to stop somebody from feeling comfortable with putting their hands on you is to give them a taste of their own medicine and be ruthless about it. Eventually they'll get the picture and stop and your own reputation and social standing will improve as people will know that you're not somebody to mess with and they'll respect you for it.

S1:Never tell ANYONE, other than your accountant and the IRS how much money you have. That always comes back to bite you. Hard.

That mom better watch out, speeding in a school zone could land her in jail.

1st Story: The mother clearly got greedy when she knew her son has that much money. No money is worth sacrificing your relationship with your own child.

1st story: leave that house, considering the fact that OP’s brother steals from them and the mom has the audacity to ask op for money despite that is a major red flag added with the fact the brother is apparently violent. I wouldn’t be able to sleep well knowing I had a brother who’ll either steal from me and/or beat me up if I didn’t comply.

Story 2: Could've called the police and asked them to check traffic cams (stop lights have them) and school cams (most schools have them everywhere, especially outside) n she could've easily gotten a ticket for speeding :3

I have a story about a car accident in our area. Context: Middle / East Europe before 2010. In these villages kids played on streets. Like 6-20 kids went out in the neighbourhood, made fields out of stones or mud and played soccer, roller scating, cycling ect. Back then this was normal. It only stopped because of tablets and phones. Some teens were driving drunk. We were playing outside (6 kids ages 5-12) and a car showed up going hella crazy fast up the hill in the corner. The street is on a hill and on the top is an exact 45° turn and bushes on a fence. There is no way you see what is after the turn. Well this morron was drunk af and 6 kids were playing with a ball and stones on the street. Honking like hell, we flew like birds, parents run out, called the cops. However this is a small village so they managed to get away. Karma hit them when one time the kids were (I was lucky not being there) on bikes and they tried to drive after one of them. The kid (10) threw the bike aside and jumped through one of the neighbours fence. They hit the stone part hard. We only heard it, because we were hiding in the bushes. Out of 3/1 survived the crash.

On the first story, great job op for standing up for yourself, you're not responsible for what your brother does. Your mother should apologize very very very very much more than what she did, that's your money and no one else's.

The fact that you had $10,000 at 18 years old is amazing!! How anyone can step in and claim any kind of right to that money is ridiculous. If they could pay you back why can’t they provide the money themselves ? Delusional!

Story 1: "All the things Iv done for you". He's 18, YES U DID YOUR JOB

Mother’s whenever they don’t get what they want from their kids: but, but, I RAISED YOU, SO YOU MUST GIVE ME WHAT I WANT

4th story: It sounds like the OP's friend might be on drugs. Don't give her that money if you ever want to see it again. Besides, she's already shown you in recent years how little maintaining her friendship with you mattered to her so you don't owe her anything, let alone a large sum of money that could possibly put a strain on your finances. And you don't even have to tell her all that if you don't want to be confrontational about it. Just tell her that you don't have it 🤷‍♂️

The last story: As someone who had a lot of “ friends” who literally assaulted me in high school, it’s way better to have no friends and safe instead of people claiming to be your friends and constantly assaulting you. The abuse from these “ friends” constantly made me doubt my self worth and I seriously still said they were my friends until I realized ( after going to college to get away), trying to break someone’s front teeth isn’t something friends do even in a joking way.

The first poster I give props to the father to being so understanding like it is his money can't just take his money that he learned from the age of 14

I think the 5th story is missing a piece. I have a husband that's not really emotional. He was raised that way, and viewed it as positive. I'm a self-sufficient person, and in the beginning I felt alone in most of the situations I needed to lean on someone. Like she said, he acted like a robot on auto response. However, it wasn't until I verbalized exactly what I needed from him. "I need a hug" "I need support on this" "I need advice regarding this" that he started to feel more genuine. This is a 40 year old man, which means he was raised similar. Maybe be specific on what exactly you want from him, because he cannot figure it out himself. And if it's just emotional support you're whining about. You're at a loss. It won't feel genuine because he didn't grow with that kind of sensitivity around.

On the story about the friend that physically assault you, all I got to say with friends like that who needs enemies. That's not a friend that's just an abuser.

She see asks her son to use him money to get a lawyer for his brother because she probably doesn’t have enough for one, but than threatens to sue her son by getting herself a lawyer?

Story 3: I was not expecting that age gap. 24-48? She is with a dude who was her age before she was born! Also he is a jerk

Most schools have a maximum speed limit, certainly well outside of a quarter mile from the school. I know this from having watched a lot of videos about crazy road users, and also from my time as a bus driver in Scotland doing school runs. The number of nutjobs I and my colleagues saw being pulled over for speeding will come as no surprise to any sensible driver. The worst ones were the EMs that parked in the 'school bus only' zones. So my colleagues and I had a rotation going as to whos turn it was to block in the EMs cars. The sound of a screaming EM is one that stays with me in fond memories. IIRC, our record number for one day was 6 cars blocked.

I've said it before, and I'll say it again: I can't handle people who feel so entitled to make other people's lives a living hell just to get what they want.

First story: Never forgive, and never forget. Get out when you can and cut all ties.

Second story: never take the higher road with a Karen.

Story 3 was so relatable. My old best friend from theatre was a complete jerk toward the end of our friendship. We were friends from 5th-8th. Since I have ASD and ADHD he made fun of me for that. Also he made fun of me for the roles I got in specific shows. The main reason why we were friends in the first place was because of shared love of Pokémon and other video games. So, in January of this year, he started bullying my other friends (mostly the girls) and he had a creepy crush on some of them. On the week this started happening he was suspended from my theatre group and we broke up. He didn’t end up going to a competition that me and the rest of the group went to. I’m actually doing a lot better without him, but I still think about him a lot. It left a big mark on me. I have two other friends that I’ve known for about the same time as him, and they are now my best friends and they are a lot more supportive than he was. Every once in while we hang out, and when I do have anxiety about the way he treated me, they’re always there to cheer me up, and I told them I’d always be there for them. They are literally such nice people and I have no idea what I would’ve done without them. They’re also very talented and they both can sing really well. A couple years I finally gained the confidence to start singing, which helped me get bigger roles in shows, and my ex bestie wasn’t very supportive about it and said I was bad, and my current best friends were the opposite. The lesson is to be friends with more supportive people and don’t be friends with people who talk about you behind their back.

Happy Wednesday Everyone from Tacoma Washington! ( Stay Safe)

I love how the mothers logic was "give me money so i can hire a lawyer but if you dont I will hire a lawyer to get the money.

2nd story - he is no friend - a best friend would never treat you like that and definitely wouldn’t want to risk your friendship for casual sex! He is abusive and you need to dump him as a friend - you deserve better!

1st story:This reminds me of my evil cousin who stole thousands from me and claimed he & his wife "owned" EVERYTHING in my home and ALL of my money too! I had to get a lawyer to help me with power of attorney, etc! When I was moving, he had a fit & tried his best to stop me by telling everyone I was "incompetent"!

The third story reminds me of something that is still ongoing in my life. This women I considered a friend developed a crush on me, wanting to hook up without her hubby knowing. I told her directly that I wasnt interested in her like that, and said it as diplomaticly as I could. This blew up, and shes been telling anyone possible about how horrible I am and its worked in her favor. Found out what she was doing from a different friend, ironically one she warned me about. Now, I want nothing to do with her, and as we travel in the same circles, constantly run into each other. Yes, its possible to have women be just as nasty to men too.

if they ask for that much money and say they’ll pay it back i guarantee that they are asking you because they’re too lazy themselves

I agree with the person who said that this person who hit you is toxic and you shouldn't deserve that people are only your friend because you're friends with her they're not really friends anyway and you don't have to confront her or make an issue of it just tend to be busy a little more often they're doing things with other people and in reality find other people to do things with I think you'll be happier in the long run

*Story 1:* Why would a parent sue the child for inheritance money? Shouldn't that money not be touched by anyone once it's put away? If my mother threatened to sue me for the money, I would've retorted *"Over my dead body will you get my money!"* Good for OP for saying *"NO!, you're not using my money just to bail out my brother. He got himself in the mess, he can surely bail himself out."*

Wow how stupid is mom, it's in your rights to have a lawyer appointed to you. And how she treated you and dad is disgusting. Looks like big brother is her favorite. 2) Karen's like this needs jail time badly. What if it was her kid and she hit her? Such stupidity. 3) he's a player and a bad human being you deserve way better

On the story about the boyfriend not being there for the girl, I'd say he's not ever going to be there for you. I don't know what's going on with him but it sounds like she does not care about you and he does not love you, because if he did love you he would do the things you're talking about.

This last story: Pissed me off the most I don't play with anybody putting their hands on me at all, so OP needs to do damaged control frfr

With the emotional girlfriend story... I personally feel that there might a bit of personal bias there. What might be completely supportive behaviour from the bf may seem underwhelming to the gf depending on the severity of their anxiety/depression/mania. Also support seeking behaviour can quickly turn into emotional dependence or abuse. When this happens the abuser usually isn't aware the strife they are causing their SO *also he is a mere mortal and does need sleep* "Dealing with it by yourself" may have been the coping method used but really you've damaged the relationship long-term by doing that because only communication will fix this because other than repeating himself or showing it in the ways that he can express- how else will the gf be convinced that he loves and is there for her?

My biggest piece of advice with money is never give away money that you aren't willing to lose because more times than not you will never see that money again

1: Glad he didn’t do it, that was honestly a huge surprise. 2: He doesn’t know what negging is. 3: I’d demand to meet them in person, claiming it sounds like a phone scam, then just get my closure.

I love how the channel tries to throw in their opinion on the story but essentially just reiterated the story without adding anything insightful - top notch stuff

In the last story, the OP mentioned she was the black sheep of her family without saying why. Perhaps she mentioned it in other posts. She wrote that she was saddened by bad things happening, *including what’s going on in her own life.* So did the boyfriend have to comfort her because of something that had nothing to do with their lives? If so, how often? I see no mention of times she comforted him when he needed it. Is it wrong to consider that the boyfriend is suffering from burnout? When I was in college, I had an ex who would keep me up at night - sometimes in person, sometimes by phone - crying about her problems (which I had no problem with, I’m all for being supportive) but mostly over something she read or something she heard on TV or from someone else. But if I had a problem, she immediately suggested I talk with someone else. The final straw was when she felt my mother’s sudden death got in the way of her two thousand and umpteenth gossip about her roommate. I get the narrator’s perspective. I’m curious why he immediately assumed the boyfriend is trash and suggested the OP dump him instead of seeking professional counseling for herself or as a couple. Honestly, I had images of that Seinfeld episode about the girlfriend who cried about everything (the Bette Midler one) while hearing this story. Sometimes I wonder if these are written by people pretending to be such characters. I like to approach these stories not only from the OP’s perspective, but the people directly involved causing me to question the narrator’s perspective. There’s usually information that seems to be missing, perhaps intentionally. The owner of this channel does a great job of getting people’s attention with grabbers that don’t reflect some of these stories. I frown when that happens, but dammit, I love this channel!

Story 2: In the case of school zones most of them are restricted to anywhere between 25 to 35 mph for safety purposes so gunning a 60 would definitely be a driving violation as well as hopefully pulling her license and never giving her a chance at driving again.

If her kid who she asked for the money from had needed that amount for anything (trivial or not), would she have got it for him? Somehow I don't think so

Story 6: Being friends with a popular person, not bad, getting hit for no reason all the time makes it your worst enemy. I know that because I've known 2 people at school that I was entrusted of being friends with them, and they just treated me like crap. Now they weren't popular at school but it doesn't matter, they were bullying me every school day, I did tell my parents, teachers, the office and principal but all they got was limited time suspension, that's it. Now for what you said in the story, basically if your friend is going to keep on punching or slapping you for no reason or just treat you like crap all the time, that is more of a bully then a friend and you would have to stop hanging out with her, or else this will happen to you daily. Now if you're Shy to speak to anyone, don't worry, you can still make friends, it just takes time.

Funny that want the money to pay a lawyer and threatened her son to sue him if he doesn't. Don't she need to hire a lawyer with money she don't have ?

I've been in the same position as the OP in #4. Not 5k, but hundreds of bucks every couple months or so. The last straw was when I found out that the last time, she had lied about why she needed it, and she actually needed it because she'd been arrested for possession with intent to sell. So the next time, I told her that she had to make a choice. I'd send her what she asked for, but that would be the last time we talked; or she wouldn't ask for money again and we could remain friends. She took the money. That was the last time we talked, and she died a few years later. It's sad, we used to be really good friends, but she got into a bad situation, and couldn't get out.

“Give me your money so I can let your brother who assaulted someone out of prison!” Is that not what we heard?

Story 3:No way! he clearly was playing with OP's Mind

The friend that's asking for the loan : Simply write up the terms of the loan, interest rate, required minimum payment plan, and a clause that she's responsible for all costs incurred to collect should she default. Then get it signed, witnessed, and notarized. If she defaults you can sue for recovery and have her wages garnished and tax returns confiscated. All of those expenses of course to be billed as part of the contract. If she owns a car, have it put up as collateral and put a lien on it as part of the contract.

I am a mom. I could NEVER ask one of my kids for money like that. I've borrowed/traded birthday/xmas CASH in exchange for using one of my cards online. A couple of times even actually borrowing the cash for them to use my card later(like when I got paid) and even that made me feel guilty. That's a gross thing to do to your kid.

On the story of the friend that would not talk to her for 2 years, yeah she has not wanted to talk to you so she's dropped the Friendship she just now trying to guilt you into giving her $5,000,DO NOT DO IT. You will NEVER see that money again.

*Story 2:* What a crazy reckless karen! She could've gotten someone hurt or killed with the way she sped through a school zone. Whatever was she thinking?

"Just a small loan of 10,000 dollars..."

I had a friend that used to greet me by "choking" me. To be clear, he was not hurting me in the slightest, and doesnt have any intent to. I just talked to him about it, and he stopped doing it, so maybe the last girl just needs to talk it out.

i like how in the first story the mom acts like my brother when he is told no

The slapping friend story. She’s not your friend. I don’t think she’s popular. People are just scared to not be nice to her.😡

In the 5th story it feels like a lot of stuff was left out idk it's probably just me but feels like it

So in the first story I'm pretty sure the brother knew because if I remember correctly inmates have a say in the visitation almost positive brother said he's not allowed

Can't afford a lawyer for their son to get out of jail, will hire one to sue child for money to get lawyer to get son out of jail.

Story 5: OP sounds like very high maintenance and the type of person that expects a lot and if you don’t give that it’s not enough. She sounds like a drain on people.

the last story sounds like OP's friend is awful narcist and OP is her scapegoat.

For the contact limiting contact with friend story: drugs,, the money is probably for drugs considering how shes acting about the money and with her relationships.

Bruh i feel that. I came home from work to an empty room and just a note. This shit it's home

Quality video as usual!!

for the first story: The main character is definitely NOT as AH for not wanting to spend money for a lawyer, however, since his mom said they'd pay him back, he should have had a contract drawn up stating a 5% interest rate to be paid to him, and only AFTER she signs, should he give her the money. The mother is psychotic though. Mom: "Can I have your money?" Me: "No" Mom: "I'll Sue You!" Me: "With What Money?"

story 5 sounds like she's always always miserable and her boyfriend is trying but nothing is enough for her. He listened to her moan all night and then she is still not happy because he has to go to sleep for work! what does she want from him? she will be lucky if he stays with her imho.

Friend story: coming from the guy's perspective, he may have intimacy issues (emotional intimacy). I had thise issues once too, i had been really hurt by a person i trusted, and was afraid that it would happen again. Therefore, my next relationship was something that we eased into. I needed to know that SHE wasnt going to just bail at the next pretty face she saw. So one step at a time. Amd at that age, the physical side of things is more, we'll say significant, than the emotional part. That all to say, he shouldn't harass her, ever, but i understand his perspective on just not wanting something serious RIGHT NOW.

I agree with the person who says that she's ghosted you for 2 years there's not much of a friendship there and somebody who only wants to associate when they need something from you is not a true friend despite what she may have been in the past things have changed and you need to realize that not to mention to have to make partial payments on bills or rearrange your finances you never jeopardize your own finances for someone else that's just not a prudent thing to do and if you are insisted on doing it I agree with the person who said you definitely need to have it in writing in a time schedule or I can just about guarantee that money will disappear and you will never see it again sorry that the Friendship has ended this way but it's time to realize that she's more of an acquaintance than a friend anymore and go about finding another good friend

I loved my guy, I did everything for him and our children. After we moved close to where his parents were, he slowly changed. I wish I saw it before it just him dumping me. Get out while you can. You’re in a loveless relationship on his side, because he doesn’t know how to love. He probably will dump you when he has found someone else or he moves in with his parents(mom).

If i was the op in story 1, i would have told my mom "ok, i guess i'll see you there"

There is no friendship there any more. My mom was the same way. She left when I was 6 months old.

I'm surprised no kidnapping stories are ever shared on here lol

On that story this sounds like a needy person. It sounds like he did listen. But listening to other peoples problems is draining

Story #5 As my mom says love is what love does

Really shouldn't have had that make out session after she turned him down talk about sending mixed signals

Do not loan the evil friend any money. I had a wife did that to me to pay for the murder of the child she had when she had an affair. I told her family and they would not speak to her again. She went to a nursing home to live at the age of 41 and died there when she was 49 God really punished her.

She saying she'll sue like its 20mil or something 😂😂 wtf.

2 story you didn’t need to call the kid stupid

It's called friends with benefits

If I was him I would have just said “ try and guilt trip me all you want but guess what? Keep in mind I’m the one that you need to be concerned about because I will be the one that determines whether or not if she lived with me or in a nursing home.

Story 2: Safety officers at a school are a good idea as for that butthead karen was roaring a 2-ton beast at 60 mph that can kill a small child indefinitely if they're hit then that karen could get a hit-and-run charge and her drivers license revoked by a judge

The mother could not sue you…… the judge would turn down the lawsuit due to is being stupid.

Wait, she's gonna take the son to court with what lawyer

So 1st story is basically an immature mother. If the little child is 18, that makes the mother at least 40. Who gives “the silent treatment” at 40?? Who is the child in that parent child relationship? The 40 year old baby or 18 year old adult?

With the handicap story made me think of me cause i can relate i am currently on crutches didnt have a plaguer cause never knew when id b healed im on crutches cause of problems with my one foot, so people who had a problem with me in a handicap spot would normally shut up and not acknowledge it cause they knew theyd b in the wrong, but yea i always hate when i c people park in those spots just cause they want to, thats y i saw walmart is a magical spot where miracles happen all the time since people who park in those spots all are miraculously healed when they get out of their vehicles

I would not even care if she ever talk to me if I were in your place

The father and son should have took the car. And made the mother take an Uber.

Story 2: Holy crap, Am I The Jerk narrator! That phrasing about the Karen's kid. "All just to get her stupid kid to school." What the crap did her kid do!? That's wrong, there.

2:53 that dad is a chad

The 20-something woman is just a trophy girlfriend to that 40ish man. He's phoning it in as he's only with her for his ego.

Good storys

The one trying to borrow money has a drug problem without a doubt.

The " can I borrow $5,000 "story... the friend is either on meth or hooked on pain meds

Story 5 I would understand the boyfriend if the op is just repeating the same thing again and again maybe he listened and cared the first time she told him but has just got fed up with it

I assume the dumb reason thry wouldn't let you in was something along the lines of "They don't young and impressionable children near the prisoners"

$10,000 isn't going to go far in terms of hiring a lawyer. Most lawyers will charge $250 an hour minimum, however, the client might get the first 30 minutes free. It's only going to cover 40 hours, in short a working week. Some cases can take 9 months to get to trial. Do the maths, it could cost $300,000 to hire a private criminal defence attorney for that period of time. Suspects get read their miranda rights once they are in custody, it covers the right to stay silent and the right to have competent legal counsel; even if they're unable to afford it. This young man's mother wanting her son's savings to pay for a lawyer smells fishy; OP as I understand was getting ready to move away for college and was going to use the money for his degree. If his entitled mother wanted to really help her older son, don't get him a lawyer, the court will assign him one and leave him to sit in prison to reflect for the 9 months or however long it takes for the case to come to trial. Hopefully, the older son will realise he doesn't want to go the road of prison.
