Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hey there, mister rhdder here, welcome back to another episode
of Reddit podcast Stories. Our first story we'll be reading today,
Karen demands my asthma inhaler. After that, daughter expects me
to pay for her college and I don't know what
to do. And after that, man loses it when he
has to wait five minutes for valet. Now, for every
thumbs up, this video gets one, Karen does not get

(00:21):
to take anyone's asthma inhaler. Too bad. I already flushed
it down the toilet, Reddit boy, so please smash that
like button and subscribe and turn on notifications for new
stories from ready. Every single day, flush someone's inhaler down
the toilet. That's not cool, Karen. Karen demands my asthma inhaler.
So the story goes me, my friend and our significant

(00:42):
others planned a road trip for a couple days. We
all had three months to plan ahead for context. My
friend's boyfriend and I have asthma. My asthma is so
severe that I have disabled parking and an SDIT. I
don't know how severe his is, but I feel it's
relevant to add that he smokes almost every time we
all hang out. He asks to use my inhaler's and

(01:03):
I give them to him without a second thought. Before
we left for the trip, I let my friend know
that I didn't have the means to be sharing my
inhaler's with him. As you've probably already guessed, he asked
to use one of my inhalers on the last day
of the trip. I gave him one of them to use,
and I thought nothing of it until last night three
weeks later. So my friend comes to me and she

(01:23):
says that, as her friend, I could have at least
given him a few puffs off my inhaler. I told
her that she was coming across as selfish for being
upset with me over the inhalers that I rely on
and pay for, and I didn't understand how she had
any place to be upset when I literally shared my inhaler.
When he asked, she said that the inhaler that I
shared with him wasn't my rescue inhaler and therefore didn't

(01:46):
help him and she had to watch him suffer on
the way home because of it asthma medicine shortage aside.
I really just don't understand how I was wrong for
being concerned about my health too. I love her and
we've been friends for a long time. But I just
don't see how I was wrong for giving him one
inhaler over the other when he didn't even bother to
specify which one he wanted. So am I the jerk

(02:07):
for not giving him my rescue in haler edit A
couple of things to add. I know it's not sanitary.
I disinfect the inhalers every time they get used. I
know you're not supposed to share things like this. It's
just not easy to tell someone, Hey, I know you
can't breathe that great, but I can't give you something
that may or may not help you. They've been together
for around three years and they have kids together. I

(02:29):
made sure to establish that I will not be sharing
my inhalers with him or anyone else ever. Again, I
haven't yet, but I will be establishing that our friendship
is either done or on a break until they learn
to appreciate the things I do for them, including, but
not limited to putting their health over mine. There's been
a few people who have wondered why I gave him
one inhaler over the rescue, even though he never specified.

(02:52):
Since this was a while ago, I don't fully remember
the details, but I think it was in the morning,
and I'm not a morning person. I also have ADHD,
so I daily is next to me at night, so
I remember to take it in the morning. It was
the inhaler that was closest to me, and I wasn't
in the mood to put forth the effort to get
my rescue and hailer out of my purse or a
duffel bag. Maybe I was being subconsciously passive aggressive. I

(03:13):
understand that now. Maybe everyone's the jerk in this situation.
But my conclusion is this, it's just as much my
responsibility to take care of my health as it is
his responsibility to take care of his. I would never
just let my friend get hurt, but I can do
that without putting my life at risk. To thank you all.
You've been a great help. Your asthma requires disabled parking,

(03:35):
his asthma allows him to smoke. You are not the same,
not the jerk, not the jerk. Honestly, you need to
cut this friend out of your life immediately. She's more
worried about her jerk boyfriend's suffering than about your very life.
Doctors don't issue prescriptions for rescue and Hailer's for funzies.
They do it because you could literally get hurt if

(03:57):
you have bad asthma attacks. She may have been your
friend for a long time, but our actions always show
our true values more than any words. Her actions scream,
I don't care if you could get hurt from an
asthma attack as long as my boyfriend is okay. Clearly
her boyfriend's asthma is not serious enough for a doctor
to prescribe him a rescue in hailer Or, he doesn't

(04:18):
care since he smokes all the time, which is the
worst thing you can do with asthma. It's not your
job to keep her boyfriend from suffering. Drop the jerk
friend and her equally jerk boyfriend. He's a jerk for smoking, etc.
While he has asthma and relying on other people to
give him rescue. In Hailer's, my daughter expects me to
pay for her college, and I don't know what to do.

(04:40):
I fifty two male, have two kids, a son who's
twenty six and a daughter who's nineteen. When my son
went to college, I thought college would open up opportunities,
and he was supposed to major in computer science, but
he failed a bunch of classes and changed his major
to something less lucrative. He went out of state, and
I now realized that this was a poor investment. I
didn't want to make the same mistakes with my daughter.

(05:03):
She also wants to do computer science, and last year
she got into a foreign university in the UK, which
she says is like Stanford over there Cambridge. I didn't
want the same thing to happen to her, so I
told her that I can't help her pay for that,
and to go to a local state university or community
college then transfer. She ended up not going and deferred
her admission to see if this year she can get alone,

(05:24):
which I'm not for but it is her life, or
if she can get a scholarship for a better American college.
She seems a little annoyed at me since effectively her
brother got more money, but that was before I knew better.
I can afford the same for her, but it would
be tighter now and I don't want that same thing
to happen, especially if it would be for a foreign degree.
I suspect the same could happen to her since her

(05:46):
brother was typically the brighter one, while she just pushed herself.
The last years of school. Am I the jerk here?
You're the jerk. G My daughter wants to go to
one of the top universities in the world, but she's
not the smart one, and since my son couldn't hack it,
clearly she won't either. Good luck maintaining that relationship. You

(06:06):
made her give up Cambridge when you could have given
her the money as you did with her brother. And
you're even asking if you're the jerk. Of course you're
the jerk, and even saying your older kid was the
brighter one and she doesn't deserve the same amount of
money because it's sure she's gonna fail. OMG, what a jerk.
You're the jerk. If she gets into Cambridge, you should pay.

(06:27):
It's a lot cheaper than Stanford. And you should not
punish her for her brother's mistakes. For goodness sake, community
college is not at all like Cambridge. You sound quite
ignorant on top of being the jerk. Such a jerk,
so you're punishing her because of his poor choices. Also,
you're essentially saying she's the dumber one. I'm guessing she's
more than a little annoyed with you. Lastly, people who

(06:50):
push themselves frequently fare better than those who are born brighter.
You're the jerk. Don't you realize that Cambridge UK is
one of the most prestigious universities in the world. It's
very hard to get in, so your daughter must be
really talented and you can afford it, but denied it
to her because her brother was not a success. A
Cambridge degree is one of the best investments there is,

(07:12):
and by the way, your kids are not investments. Buy
some stock or real estate if you want to invest.
Shame on you. Op not the jerk. I'm sorry. All
of these kids on Reddit who know nothing about finances
are laying into you for your rational decision making. If
it were up to them, everything would be handed to
them for free by their parents. Sadly, these kids are

(07:34):
a part of a generation who feel entitled to handouts.
As a successful landlord and investor myself with a master's
in personal finance and a background in investment banking, everything
you're saying here makes perfect sense and is very logical.
No matter how bright or not so bright your daughter is.
All kids should start at a community college to make
sure they can hack it. You'll end up paying a

(07:55):
fraction of the price you would for a major university.
You've also learned this lesson with yours on. If you
repeat this mistake, then that's on you. If she proves
she's college material, which no, getting accepted into a school
does not automatically mean you can hack it there, then
after two years she can transfer and you'll pay for
wherever she wants to go. Super simple, and what any

(08:16):
parent who's planning to pay for their child's college education
should be doing. A valuable lesson I've learned through life
is that you never want to go with the flow
and do what everyone else is doing and recommending. That's
how you end up like all of these lost, confused, angry,
and miserable losers on Reddit. Never let these morons influence
your decisions with their idiocracy. This site is nothing but

(08:37):
a competition for votes, and the way you get them
is by making yourself appear as relatable as possible to
the rest of these morons aka despise. People who are
financially successful and or who have actual morals. Speaking common
sense will get you nothing but dislikes, which is why
that's all I ever get on here. Unless we're on
a finance or investment subreddit for some reason, I actually

(08:59):
get more up votes than most others on there. Gee,
it's almost as if the people who actually take the
time to educate themselves on how money actually works tend
to have more common sense than the rest of the
idiots here on Reddit. Whoever would have thought that man
loses it when he has to wait five minutes for valet?
So I work the night audit shift eleven pm to

(09:21):
seven am. This is one of my favorite stories because
of the karmik justice was hilarious at the end. I
deal with a crazy amount of problems because I work
at a four star luxury hotel that's also in the
middle of a downtown city and connected to a convention center.
I literally deal with everyone from the homeless to celebrities.
This isn't my craziest story, but the funniest when it

(09:41):
comes to instant karma. So most of my problems usually
happen right at the beginning of my shift. It's when
late check ins start finishing up, but only with the
drunk and the rowdy and the occasional late flight. This
man was of the drunken, rowdy nature. He was middle aged,
looked like your typical Marvel fan from the shorts, the shirt,
the beard and the glasses reeked of neck beard. We

(10:03):
all know the type. I'm a nerd too, but the
kind that showers and has friends and boundaries. I don't
work alone, but was alone at the front desk. I'm
twenty six female, and he comes up to me to complain.
He's checking in and stating Valet wasn't there and he's
been waiting for twenty minutes. I call Valet and find
out that he's only been waiting for five and assure

(10:24):
him that they're finishing up with a couple guests and
we'll park his car. He would not let it go.
He starts going on a rant about my terrible customer service.
How there has to be something I should do for
him to make up for this, How completely unacceptable it
is that he had to wait at all for a
luxury hotel Valet and thought that was the whole point
of us being luxury. Clearly hasn't been to a hotel

(10:45):
in general, never mind a nice one. I told him,
I talked to the valet and it's normal for people
that have to wait for others who were there first.
There was nothing I could do. It wasn't even an
amount of time that I could fake being sympathetic for
he was clearly just a jerk. He then keeps demanding
an explanation from me as to why he was waiting, now,
trying to tell me I'm lying to him and they

(11:05):
were clearly sleeping or on break. He then tells me
to just cancel his reservation. I said, okay, the valet
was ready for you, but if this isn't what you needed,
I will go ahead and cancel. So I do, and
I hand him the printed cancelation. He still won't leave.
Now he's standing at the front desk, staring me down
and repeatedly asking me why he had to wait for

(11:26):
valet and to admit that they were sleeping. I tell
him he no longer has a reservation with us, and
I will call security to escort him out as he
is no longer a guest. He says fine, So I
call security and he still won't leave, starts yelling at
them that he won't leave unless we call the cops.
Man literally asked us to call the cops on him.
He then looked at me and was like, you're not

(11:47):
gonna win this, you know, me not even knowing there
was something to win here, So cops get there. They
come up to me just to ask what's going on,
and they feel bad because they know the dude is
just being a jerk. Tell them he literally told us
to call the cops to make him leave. Cops go
deal with him. They tell him, not only are we
not reinstating his reservation, which I guess he was trying

(12:09):
to get them to do, but he had to call
an uber home and had to abandon his car at
the hotel because it was too drunk to drive. The
cops literally made him call an uber in front of
them and get into it and watch him leave. So
this dude clearly had some sort of power struggle thing
going on. He thought he could just pick on some
random hotel worker and instead got the biggest walk of

(12:29):
shame I've ever seen. And also he had to pay
for an uber a cancelation fee and who knows what
else to get his car back, all just to be
a smug jerk. It was great. Now, I just wish
all the jerks got a police escort. Am I the
jerk for announcing my pregnancy immediately after my sister husband
and I have been trying for our second baby for

(12:49):
two and a half years. I'm incredibly grateful to now
be thirteen weeks pregnant and have been looking forward to
sharing that news with my family. On Friday, we had
dinner with my family, my sister, her boy friend, and
our parents, and we decided to share our news. Then
I decided to wait until dessert so that we could
leave shortly after telling everyone. Obviously, it's exciting news, but

(13:09):
I was worried about all the emotions that could surface
for myself and my husband. Right after we sat down
to eat, my sister announced that she and her boyfriend
are expecting their first child. I was thrilled for her
and congratulated her, as did the rest of the family.
Once things had settled down, I didn't want to waste
the opportunity to have everyone together and thought it would
be a good opportunity to keep the joy flowing, so

(13:31):
I shared that I'm pregnant as well. Our parents were
so excited to be having two new grand babies just
a month apart, and I was super happy that my
kids would have a new cousin. My sister was happy
for me, but she left very soon after dinner and
didn't stay for dessert. She called me this afternoon and
told me that as happy as she was for me,
she felt that I had done a crappy thing by

(13:51):
taking away her moment. She pointed out that this is
my second baby, and when I announced for the first time,
I didn't have to share with anyone. I didn't want
to apologize because I didn't feel I had done anything wrong.
But she finished out the phone call by saying that
she didn't think I was really even happy for her.
If I couldn't have let her have that moment and
taken another from myself later on, that really stung. I

(14:15):
truly didn't see it that way. I saw it as
sharing joy, not stealing it. I also see each pregnancy
as being unique, so I don't feel that it was
right of her to say I shouldn't have said anything
because it was my second baby. Honestly, I think she
might be kind of hormonal. But I also want to
understand my sister, and I know I'm not going to
get anywhere asking her about it, so I want to

(14:35):
be enlightened. Am I the jerk for announcing my pregnancy
immediately after my sister Eta I'm visiting from Los Angeles.
My sister lives in New Jersey and our parents live
in New York City. So here's the real truth. It
doesn't actually matter who's the jerk, because that's going to
be an inherently subjective matter that depends on your personal
views of how pregnancy announcement should go. What's important here

(14:58):
is that your sister is upset, and you don't have
to understand why, So swallow your pride and apologize to her.
You're the jerk for exactly what she said. You could
have waited for a different day. And I don't think
it's bad that she wanted to be in the spotlight
a little bit. Like she said, it was her first
baby and she wanted people to be happy that they're
having a kid. With that said, disregarding her emotions as

(15:19):
her just being hormonal is kind of mean. Did you
see her edit? Though she flew across the country to
see them la to New York and might not get
another chance in person, I still think she could have
done it on a different day or time instead of
during the dinner. Also personally, and this is probably affecting
my decision, but I don't think it has to be
in person. She should have let her sister have a

(15:41):
moment in the spotlight. This greed for attention is getting
way out of hand. Your sister does not need or
deserve an entire day of attention from everyone. Just because
she managed to conceive a kid. Everyone is happy for her.
That should be enough. Her jealousy of you also having
a pregnancy to celebrate is childish, ridiculous, and narcissistic. You're
not the jerk, for sure. I don't understand this attitude

(16:05):
at all. I would have been thrilled if one of
my sisters had been pregnant at the same time as me.
It would have been a blast. Also, the attention hog
thing will totally still be fed throughout the sister's pregnancy.
Her parents, in laws, etc. Will still fuss over her
like crazy. The attention is not limited to the time
of the announcement. Not the jerk. You're the jerk for

(16:25):
reducing your sister's feelings to she might be kind to hormonal.
That's very dismissive, and you have the same hormones going
on right now too. Announcing right after your sister wasn't
the worst thing, but it would have been much more
considerate to wait at least today. Let her have one
night of feeling special have a family dinner the next
weekend and announce, well, who do you think is the jerk?

(16:48):
Op or her sister? Please let us know. Why can't
Op sister just be happy for her? People make way
too big a deal of being the center of attention
and getting the spotlight. I can't imagine how Op Ciss
was doing our wedding one by one. I was recently
reminded of this story from a colleague. I work in contracts,
meaning my department audit signed documents to make sure everything

(17:10):
is legal and compliant with our policies. We have a
very old system that we use. Think early DAWs, like
a black screen with white words and you type everything
manually looks like pong. So typically what happens is I
would get a contract for specific mechanical equipment, and I
would review to make sure it's possible in a physical
sense and that the finances also make sense. Occasionally, we

(17:32):
will encounter a situation where we need to update our
system to allow a contract to go through. This would
be if we sold an older equipment that we no
longer build but had a few spare parts lying around,
or if a client bought our equipment from a third
party provider but wants us to service it since we're
the official company that makes this stuff. It's kind of
like a car dealership selling a used car that they

(17:53):
don't make anymore. It's still part of their brand, but
they might not necessarily have software to supported since it's
so outdated. Trying to explain as best I can, when
we have these types of contracts with older equipment, all
we have to do is send a note to a
person in a specific department and ask her to open
this system temporarily to allow these devices to be added
and serviced. The way we send this request is that

(18:15):
we fill out a form and we submit it to
this lady. This lady is something. She's a combination of
a power hungry overlord and a scared, pathetic mouse. It's
very interesting to see. I sometimes play a game to
bet on which mode she will respond with. She's very
much a bully who cries when she gets called out
for being a bully and then says she's being bullied. Yeah,

(18:36):
she's fun. So anyways, one day I received eighty five
new contracts same client, all for used equipment that we
don't make anymore and have not for years. Someone found
a whole bunch of them for a dirt cheap and
bought them, and now they want us to service them. Cool, good, fine,
mister client, We will be happy to help. Typically, you
submit one request form per device. Filling out this form

(18:59):
is a bit of a pain because it's a very
manual process and a bit time consuming. I like to
be efficient and make life easier, so I did some
reviewing and notice that there are really only like five
models of machines, eighty five different serial numbers, but only
five types. So I sent off a quick email saying
the following, Hi, lady, not her name, but I'm calling
her that here. I have a whole bunch of machines

(19:21):
to add to the system, but I don't want to
submit eighty five different tickets to you. I checked out
and saw there's only five model types. Can I send
you the request and batches by model might make our
lives a bit easier than going one by one. Now,
this lady is notorious for sticking to the rules. I
don't usually mind, because rules exist for a reason. However,
they were also created by people and therefore can be

(19:44):
changed by people. In this instance, I was hoping lady
would understand that I'm trying to save us both time. Nope.
Her response was, it is unacceptable that you think you
have the right to change the way we do things,
especially that you don't even work in my department and
have no concept of what it is that I do.
We do not work, however, we want. We have procedures

(20:04):
to follow, and if you are unfamiliar with these procedures,
then it is clear to me that you need training.
A new level of jerk has been achieved. You want
me to follow procedures. You don't want to understand that
I'm trying to help us both. Let's go. Then. I
spend the next three hours creating my emails and ticket requests,
but I didn't submit them as I went. Oh no,

(20:26):
I waited until I had eighty five of them ready
to go. Once they were loaded, I spent a hilarious
moment clicking Sind. It was like I was launching little
torpedoes every time I clicked Sind, each causing small devastation
as they build up in her inbox and overshadow anything
else that might have been in her queue. Also, I
know she keeps the volume on, so I knew that

(20:46):
she'd be hearing that ding sound that a noise outlook
users everywhere. One by one, eighty five different requests were
running to her inbox like moths to a flame. I
waited for the inevitable tantrum. Hey, I see you sending
me a bunch of requests? Can't you just bunch them together?
This is a lot and it's messing up my system
now due to the constant influx of emails and tickets?

(21:09):
Did I forget to mention that our laptops are also
super old? That many emails in one shot most definitely
froze her outlook for some time. I replied, Oh, sorry
that you're having a hard time. I was just following
pro seizure as per your request. I already sent them all,
so nothing I can do. Well, how many requests did
you send? Eighty five? What? I then put my status

(21:32):
to out to lunch. Have fun, lady, I'm getting a sandwich.
Am I the jerk for kicking out my wife's parents
for how they treated my mom? Last weekend, my mom
and younger brother who's twelve, visited my wife and I.
One of my sisters also lives in the same city
as do my wife's parents. On Saturday, my wife invited
my mom, brother and sister, and my wife's parents to

(21:54):
a dinner slash get together at our house, as our
parents haven't seen each other since our son was born
six years ago. I did not like the idea, but
my wife was set on it. Our parents have never
gotten along well. My in laws are wealthy, whereas my
mom has always been poor and myself and my brother
helped support her. Now at fifty one, my mom is
also young compared to them seventy plus. In the past,

(22:17):
my in laws have said some things about my mom
that have upset me, but I've tried not to let
it bother me. The night started badly when my wife
asked my mom about her boyfriend, and her dad started
asking her questions about him, why didn't she invite him,
what's his job, but then getting more invasive and essentially
implying single moms shouldn't date, and making remarks about her
kids having different dads. I was already irted this point,

(22:41):
but my wife was able to deflect the conversation. Over
the course of the night, they continued to make negative
remarks that were directed at my mom, even when my
mother in law was congratulating my sister about getting into
law school. She used it to backhand my mom by
saying how impressive it was considering where she came from.
Mother in law also kept try to police how my
mom interacted with my son. A couple of times, she

(23:03):
told my son off because he was playing with my mom,
despite the fact that I was right there if he
needed disciplining. I could see my mom was getting upset,
and because she was staying with us, she couldn't even leave.
I was able to talk to her privately and asked
if she was all right. She said she was fine,
but she seemed very distressed. My mom has a history
of mental illness and has an anxiety disorder that often

(23:25):
leads to her struggling in social situations. My mom silently
went to our spare room without saying anything to anybody else.
I decided to politely ask my in laws to leave
and explain to them that I wouldn't tolerate them speaking
to my mom the way they had. That night, my
wife and father in law tried to talk to me
about it, but I told them I didn't want to
discuss it right now. I just wanted them to leave.

(23:46):
I didn't want to talk because I was already very
angry and didn't want to lose my temper. After they left,
my wife and I started arguing. She tried to downplay
how her parents were treating my mom and make it
seem like I was reading too much into their words.
She also argued that even if I wanted her parents
to leave, I should have discussed it with her first,
ignoring the fact I couldn't have done that without extracting

(24:07):
her from the conversation with everyone, and I was disrespecting
her by not getting her permission. She now thinks I'm
treating her family badly when it was her parents that
wouldn't stop disparaging my mom, and I know she noticed
because she kept trying to intervene. Am I the jerk
for kicking them out? You're not the jerk. If your
wife didn't think her parents were doing anything wrong, why

(24:27):
was she changing the subject or direction of the conversation
when they were insulting your mother? Not the jerk. You
were right to stand up for your mother and ask
your in laws to leave when they were making comments
like this towards her. It's understandable that you were angry
and didn't want to discuss it at the time, and
your wife should have been more supportive of you in
that matter. It's not disrespectful to her family to address
their hurtful behavior towards your own family member. Your wife

(24:50):
should have taken your concern seriously and been more understanding
of your feelings. It's important for partners to have each
other's backs and situations like this neighbor complains about maintaining
a hedge wall and then has to construct a wooden fence.
This story happened about a decade ago when I was
still a teenager and used to live in my parents' house.
We are migrants and are on good terms with all

(25:11):
of the neighbors since the nineties, but we do have
a reputation in the neighborhood. Are frequently undertaking ambitious, do
it yourself home improvements and in an atypical manner to
what locals expect. Our house is separated from the neighbors
with a living hedge wall of cypress trees that grow
on our property. At the time of this story, we
already lived in the house for the better part of
a decade with the same neighbors and the same cypress trees.

(25:34):
One day, out of the blue, one of the neighbors
sees my mom working in the garden and starts complaining
about this state of the living hedge on her side
of the property. We usually trim the hedge only from
our side and most of the top that we can reach.
The neighbor complains and demands us to trim the hedge
from their side as well. In her eyes, as the
hedge wall is planted on our property, it's one hundred

(25:54):
percent our responsibility and they're tired of maintaining it from
their side. The altercation is very brief, as my mother
surprisingly quickly replies okay and walks off grinning. Unbeknownst to
the neighbor, we already were planning to cut down the
hedges to the stump so that they could regrow anew
as the existing hedge was very old and was not
particularly sightly. Previously, we postponed these works as we did

(26:18):
not want to upset the neighbors, but this demand provided
the perfect excuse. So the next day, while the neighbors
are at work, we cut down all of the hedges
surrounding our property to barely above ground. As we're finishing
clearing up the trimmings, the neighbors come back from work
and were shocked to discover the hedge practically gone. They
looked around and realized that with the hedge wall gone,

(26:39):
their whole backyard, kitchen, living room, and bedroom are on
full display through the windows. The neighbor questions what have
we done and why, as they would no longer have
any privacy in their own home. My mom, without missing
a beat, replies, we fix the problem. The hedge will
no longer need trimming from your side and goes back
to clearing off. Within a week, the neighbors came back

(27:00):
to us and asked for permission to construct a wooden
fence on our property to protect their privacy. We happily
agreed as long as they paid for it all. As
we didn't mind waiting a couple of years for the
hedge to regrow. Our privacy was much less impacted. They
built the fence within the week, and it provided a
good service for some vine flowers to grow instead of
the cypress trees that my mother had wanted to plant

(27:21):
for a long time. Edit. People are concerned that the
neighbors would be able to claim some of the land
as theirs. This is not the case, as the property
markers are still there and nobody would ever move or
tamper with them even if they did. This is in
an EU country, and our land is marked based on
specific coordinates and not some arbitrary lines such as a fence.

(27:41):
No matter the situation. When the fence was being constructed,
we made sure that this was the case. I should
have originally specified that they effectively paid and constructed a
fence for us that we legally own. My ker and
mother in law installed a hidden camera in my bedroom.
My husband, Mail thirty three, got into a car accident
almost a month ago. He's been bedridden due to a

(28:04):
back injury, and I've been as primary caregiver. The pressure
has been too much from my mother in law. She
keeps telling me to take care of him and be
there for him constantly. She begged me to take time
off work and I did. Asked me to send her
hourly updates about his condition the first two weeks, but
when I didn't, she'd get mad and cause an issue.

(28:24):
She visits every day but doesn't do anything to help. Alternatively,
she lists all the things I should or shouldn't do.
The family keeps telling me she just worried sick for
her son, so I should try to stay calm. Days ago,
she called to berap me about not replacing the sheets quickly.
I had no idea how she found out since my

(28:45):
husband didn't call her. My sister in law called me
to tell me that her mom installed a camera in
the bedroom to see if I was taking proper care
of her son. I was stunned. After searching the room,
I found the camera. I called my mother in law
and had a huge fight with her. She admitted it
and said that she was just feeling concerned and wanted

(29:05):
to make sure her son was being cared for despite
him calling her every day. I yelled at her, telling
her that she's no longer allowed into my home. After this,
she lost it and went on a rant about how
I'm stopping her from seeing her son and that not
seeing him will literally make her sick herself. The family
called me later to get me to back out of
this decision, but I told them she reached my privacy

(29:29):
and took advantage of the situation. She said I'm taking
it too personally and that I can't blame a concerned
mother for wanting to make sure her son is fine,
especially since she listed things she thought I was doing wrong.
I ended the conversation, but my husband is upset, telling
me I'm being vindictive and that if his mom can't come,
then he'll move there for her. We argued, then I

(29:50):
went outside and he's been silent ever since. Am I
the jerk? Not the jerk? Report it to the police.
Let your husband go home to his mummy. Let his
broke body self go live with his mama, and when
he gets better, the locks should be changed. Mama's boys
and crazy mama bears are horrible, not the jerk. Let

(30:11):
your husband move out. Then that woman should be arrested.
What kind of family is this? Get out of dodge
before you are entangled and have kids. Right. If he's
threatening to move back to his mommy, just let him,
not the jerk. I have a feeling she never would
have uninstalled it. Check the rest of your house and
block anyone who doesn't respect your autonomy and privacy. Maybe

(30:35):
change the Wi Fi Likely it's a Wi Fi camera
and it'll lose its connection if you change the password.
Not the jerk. Let him move problem solved. Where's the conflict?
The relationship is probably over. But have you not realized
your husband knew about the camera? She installed it while
he was in the room. Sister in law is using
me as a free babysitter during our family vacation. My

(30:59):
fiance and I were invited to go along on a
trip to California for a week. I do not have
my kids with me due to them being with their
father and having wrestling tournaments that they cannot miss. Already
spent hundreds on non refundable tickets for them to participate.
We drove here with his family, so I was already
quite exhausted when getting to the resort after having listened

(31:19):
to an eight month old scream practically the entire ride
twenty three hours, but they insisted we go with them
for the drive to swap off driving and sightseeing. We
were crammed in this vehicle like sardines because on the
floor was their family dogs, a seventy five pound bull
mastiff with her two puppies, so yes, dog crap was
also present. They were quick to clean it up, but

(31:42):
still the car was putrid. When we get to the resort.
I quickly noticed how I was seen as a built
in babysitter for my fiance's sisters eight month old daughter.
Every time my future sister in law and her husband
wanted to take a shower or swim, or eat, or
even if they just didn't feel like cold her The
kid was thrown in my lap basically every single time.

(32:05):
There are five other adults here, but they claimed that
the kid only wanted me. I can't exactly argue it,
because at this point I had held the baby so
much that she did put her arms out for me
quite often, even in passing in the hallway. But it
hit a point where I was getting tired. I was
in the pool yesterday and my future sister in law
gets in and within five minutes passes the baby off

(32:26):
to me. I hand her back maybe ten minutes later,
claiming I needed to use the restroom and stay indoors.
Maybe fifteen minutes later, they come inside and passed the
baby off to me again, saying they need to go
shower and ask me to bring the baby into them.
In ten minutes after I passed the baby off to them,
I locked myself in the room and I barely left sins.

(32:47):
My fiance comes in here a bit ago and tells
me we are all going out to eat, and I
told him I didn't feel like going, and becoming a
high chair to the baby while her parents ate. As
it is, I've already held this kid more than any
and had several drinks spilled on me because of her
octopus arms. He said, I can't just sit up here
to avoid holding the baby, and that I'm wasting the

(33:09):
trip all because I won't say no. Half the time
they don't ask, though the baby is practically tossed to me.
Am I the jerk, not gonna lie. I would have
flown home already, not the jerk. Support our channel by
