So a point about the cake fillings: In the USA (where most AITA posters come from), you have to have a license from your city, state, or county to make stuff like that that is then sold to clients, if it's food. It's usually called a "cottage foods license" and an actual government official comes through and checks your facility (your home kitchen) to see if it meets food codes. If someone gets sick from eating something you made, you are legally liable because we have INTENSELY strict laws regarding food in the United States due to a horrific scandal in the early 1900s which fostered the creation of the Pure Food and Drug Act, as well as the FDA. I understand very well the concept of "there's stuff you can't unsay", but she was putting them at risk of losing their license, the sister at risk of her license and job, and her own self at risk of legal pursuit from people who got sick from her contaminating the cake fillings, not to mention the whole "making people sick because you contaminated food with your unwashed fingers and then it was sold to unknowing customers" thing.

My ex’s family has a Christmas tradition. They fill everyone’s stockings with silly string and when all the presents are opened there is a massive silly string battle. Even something fairly innocuous like that my then husband warned me ahead of time. Sometimes the colorful silly string can stain clothes so he warned me so I wouldn’t wear anything white or light colored. I appreciated that. And then it was hilariously fun. This guy not warning about the coal tradition is just cruel.

And the victim is the S.O. of one of their kin. Even if he had said something in advance, it would've still been a jerk move. It smacks of "it's just a prank, bro". They could've even done the prank without disrespecting her like that. Just make it three gifts (Rule of Threes) with coal in them. Then reveal the "tradition", following that up with a few genuine gifts and some reassurance from the husband. 18 boxes of coal and mocking laughter is way beyond the pale.

There is an uneven power differential here. She's the outsider and not wanting to offend his parents and other family. They are in the parents home. The repeated action detail is fuzzy, as it's a single social event, but the prank action is repeated eighteen times. It it was supposed to be a prank, then there needs to be some reconciliation, such as hidden gifts that come out soon after, or perhaps offers from different members of the family to trade a gift for some coal. If there's no reconciliation, then it's just putting her down. "The family gives and receives gifts; you just get coal because you're not family - even though you're about to marry one of us - and we don't know who you are." I sort of compare it to being invited to a holiday meal and everyone else gets roast turkey, dressing, gravy, mashed potatoes, candied yams, and pie. You get a bowl of plain oatmeal 'because it's a family tradition.'

If she is willing to be disrespectful, she should expect some level of disrespect back. About the inheritance story, it is HER money and it's not up to the husband or in=laws to decide how she should spend it. Plus. they were discourteous during her mom's illness. Thus, they don't get to share in the win fall About the Xmas story, the bf is the ah for not warning her about it beforehand. The girl should at least take back her chocolate gifts and say it is part of HER family prank to pretend to give and then take back. I am sure his relatives would not think it is that 'funny'. About the plane story, the loud people were the ah, they were disrespectful to all other passengers around them. If they don't mind being rude to those around them, they don't deserve respect back. If you see someone behaving badly (to that extent), it is your duty to stand up for those not brave enough to stand up for themselves. Just because he was not on the next leg of the trip, it is no reason not to say anything.

Nah he wasn't the butthole for telling her to stop eating. He asked her multiple multiple times. To just use a spoon even. Not that she couldn't have any. And her blatant disrespect towards him warrants all the anger. Respect goes both ways in a relationship. 🤷♂️

I received inheritance after my dad passed away. My EX husband - foreshadowing - was looking through brochures for motorbikes, campers, etc. I went for a nap, woke up, came downstairs, then said "put those brochures away, i lost my dad for those monies, btw i want a divorce!" He replied "that was some fucking nap!" 😂😂😂

As to the first one.....I came from nothing, my husband did not. When my parents died, I got a few $ that I used to buy a new riding lawn mower and remodel the bathroom in our house and repair our driveway. When my inlaws died, my husband bought TWO new Corvettes (different years) because that's what he wanted. I was fine with it. He and I both used our money for things that were important to each of us ...and we obviously have different priorities. But his family has also helped us remodel our home in the past. I felt the need to not depend upon them for everything. Been married 50 years. Second one.........SHE'S an f'n BABY! Ignorant , inconsiderate, and rude. He is not an asshole, she is. The jerk who abandoned that dog....DIVORCE HIM! I'd never trust this jerk with an infant or any child. He's still a child! But be careful because if he can so callously get rid of a family pet, what would he do to you for trying to leave him!! The coal story......he should have told you this WAY before you went and spent $$$ on gifts for his family so you were prepared. Find someone else to marry, you'll get over this jerk and his family. And if you do marry him, you'll be dealing with their shit for the rest of your holidays. It's not worth it. On the airplane.....yeah, he's an asshole. Just shut your mouth and let it go. Why cause confrontation? He should have mentioned it to the stewardess or steward. Good video today!!!
@stevedavis570411 ай бұрын
In the first story I can tell from personal experience that when you have suffered a traumatic loss, the last thing you want to do is take everybody out for a fancy dinner on your dime. The holidays and days that had been important are very difficult the first time around after a loss and he should feel lucky that she even wanted to go celebrate not expect her to foot the bill for it. Not to mention the failure to talk about it ahead of time. The good thing about it is that in most states in the US if it’s kept separate inheritance does not become community property. If I have an inheritance of any sort and divorce my partner if it wasn’t put into the community property it is untouchable.

I may be different, but if my lovers family gave me 18 pieces of coal, Id assume they all hate me. I would believe some family tradition, because MY family tradition is if you get coal, your bad and people hate you. See how miscommunication isnt funny? Id fight someone.
@iFapkin11 ай бұрын
Yes, me too! If my partner brought me to his family's house and they all gave me coal, including the people who I actually know on some level, I'd be livid. The coal tradition could've honestly made sense from the relatives that she doesn't know. But, for the relatives that she does know, and for HIM even, to give her coal as well? That's thoughtless and cruel, especially since she was talking to his parents and to him about their own interests so she could plan gifts accordingly. "Coal on the first year" seems like a tradition that would only pick up traction with a family who doesn't get a lot of return "outsiders," and with a tradition like that, I can't blame them for not coming back on year two.
@TripleFisted11 ай бұрын
I feel like your story is fabricated and you just made it up to guise the fact that you're entitled and want people to give you gifts. If someone REALLY hated you and REALLY thought you were a bad person, why in their right mind would they even waste their time getting you anything to begin with? Do you hate gift to people you really actually truly don't like? Don't answer that because I won't believe that either lol

"...it's not hard to buy someone a small token gift" - Exactly. I spent a couple Christmases with my ex-husband (while we were together, obv 😆)'s aunt and uncle, and even though they didn't know me very well, his aunt bought me things like a pair of PJs and a robe, chocolates, etc. It's not hard to come up with *something* that will make the person feel welcomed, ffs!

Cake filling - If I've repeatedly asked you nicely not to do something and you have ignored that request, I'm yelling at you because you clearly ain't getting it when I say it nice and quiet. You don't get to play the victim. Coal Prank - Pranks are only funny if all parties are laughing. If the bf had told her beforehand or been a man and comforted her when he saw she wasn't enjoying the prank, that would be one thing. He didn't and so he doesn't get to condemn her reaction. Noisy Passengers - While I'm not brave enough to confront anyone's bad behavior in public, I don't think it is wrong to do so. Some people have no concept that they are not the only ones in public and need to be told about themselves. I don't even need to comment on the husband abandoning the dog. Except to say get away from him asap.

1 piece of coal is a prank. 18 is straight up, abuse. If I was her, I’d have given “Dan” all his coal back and dumped him on the spot. Not for the coal (how they even obtained that is beyond me) but for not warning me about it and allowing me to give up Christmas with my own family and waste money, buying gifts for people who think abusive hazing rituals are acceptable behaviour.

As to the inheritance: They are not considered marital property (in the states) unless otherwise stipulated in the will or trust. A spouse has no claim to it in a divorce. Sometimes, they don't have a claim in the event of the death of their spouse. It might go to another blood relative of the recipient.
