It wouldn't occur to most of us to get back at our snooping in-laws by making up a story about a curse. Most of us would just say "don't steal my things lady" or change the locks. But that fact that she believed it, and that something bad actually happened is absolutely excellent. Gotta love it when fake curses come through in your favor. For another weird mother-in-law story, here's the craigslist ad seeking a wedding date for a Karen mother-in-law.

    Font - Posted by u/TA191210 17 hours ago S 2 37 e34 3 45 AITA for telling my soon-to-be MIL that my engagement ring is cursed? I (F26) just got engaged. My soon to be MIL is a nightmare. We are currently renovating a part of our place and she has been lent a key in the meantime because she keeps coming over uninvited under the guise of “helping" clean up, but she really just likes to snoop and interfere.

    Font - I do a martial art and take my engagement ring off before class. I came home from an afternoon class one day and my engagement ring was not in the jewellery dish that I usually leave it in. I asked her about it and she told me that she'd taken it to a jeweller to get it cleaned. She looked super smug about it and when I asked which jeweller, she pretended she couldn't remember. I didn't want to give her the satisfaction of having a reaction to it so I just let it slide for a couple of day

    Font - A couple of days pass and I ask her about it again and she's super vague, still pretending she can't remember which jeweller and saying she's too busy to go pick it up anytime soon. So I said, "wow, I really feel for that jewelle... hope nothing happens to her." She asked what I meant, and I told her that my superstitious Brazilian grandmother had performed some traditional ritual on it that's usually known to curse anyone who takes or handles the ring other than the owner. She looked une

    Font - The next day, my fiancée told me while I was out that she was there to clean up a bit... Lo and behold, I get home (she had already left) and find my ring where I had left it. It didn't look any cleaner than it had before lol. A week later, I receive an abusive call from her saying she'd been in a minor car accident and she was blaming me and my "witch doctor" grandmother, saying she was now cursed for having touched it. I passed the phone to my fiancée who tried to calm her down, but she

    Font - tnscatterbrain · 17h 3 2 Partassipant [4] Nta. That's hilarious. The nerve of her, taking your ring. She deserves the curse. I'm just sorry it's causing trouble for you. I kind of think your fiancé earned it by tolerating her behaviour and not having changed the locks already. Also, have you checked your ring? I don't understand why she'd take it unless it was to keep it away from you. Does she disapprove of the engagement, or of you taking it off even if it's for a good reason? Was she g

    Font - Ok-Scientist5524 - 17h Partassipant [3] NTA, you should tell her there's no way she could have even cursed since she took the ring with good intentions and the curse only curses people with bad intentions. The reason you were worried about the jeweler is because some jewelers will steal rings and swap them out for fake stones. And you didn't know how honest the jeweler was because you didn't know them at all. I'll bet she chokes on her own lies rather than admit she stole it to steal it.

    Rectangle - PookyBearAuntie · 18h Partassipant [1] NTA. She stole your engagement ring. Making up a story is the least you could have done to her.
