If you see a crazy Karen flailing about in the woods, you know whose aunt this is. This thread was posted to Reddit's r/entitledpeople subreddit by u/Outside_The_Walls, who opened up about a horrific experience with his aunt after she drove all the way from New Jersey to West Virginia while under the influence.

 

There are several shocking elements to this story, but the one I'm personally fixated on is why this woman randomly kept bolt cutters in her car. It's like she knew she was going to have to trespass like that. Wild! Let this story serve as a friendly reminder that if you are currently being alienated by your entire family, it's probably you and not them. It's that classic "if everyone else is crazy, you're the one who's insane" thing. Keep scrolling below to see the lengths this Redditor went to keep his aunt from spending the night at his place.

    Font - Aunt shows up at my house, with all her stuff, **TELLS ME** she's going to be living with me for a while. M So, without getting too political, we recently had an election in the USA. My Aunt supported one side, while her husband and (adult) offspring supported the other side. The election did not go the way my Aunt wanted it to. Aunt proceeded to flip her breaking things, yelling, and even going as far as to SET HER DAUGHTER'S "I voted" STICKER ON FIRE.

    Font - Her husband called the cops. The cops declined to arrest her for anything, but suggested that she find a different place to stay for the night. This happened yesterday, in New Jersey. Fast forward to 2am today. Here I am sleeping peacefully in my home, with my family, over 500 miles from all that drama.

    Font - My fence alarm goes off, waking me up. IDK if it's a bear or a trespasser, so I get my pants on and grab my shotgun, just to be safe. Turns out, my Aunt cut the lock off my front gate, because she couldn't get in, and I wasn't answering my phone. Why did she have bolt cutters in her car?! So, I safely stow my weapon and ask her WTF?

    Font - She starts crying, and screaming (mind you, this is at 2am, in a quiet rural community) about how "The Devil took [her] family" and they "threw [her] out". And she says that since she has nowhere else to go, I need to let her in, so she can stay in my guest room for a while. I told her, one of my guildies is using that room right now. The room is occupied. This person came from Texas all the way to West Virginia to hang out with me. I'm not gonna toss them out with 30 seconds of notice be

    Font - So, she decides to call the police and tell them that I'm keeping her from entering her home. We're out in the woods, so the cops don't get here quick. 4:41 AM, the cops show up. I see them talking to her in my driveway. She shows them the bolt cutters and the ruined lock. A few minutes later, the officer knocks on my door. "Your tenant claims that-" I immediately cut him off, and tell him that I do not have a tenant. I own and occupy this structure. I offer to show him the deed.

    Font - "Well this woman claims-" I cut him off again. "What's the address on her ID say?" At this point, the cop is pissed at me. I can tell. So I try to de- escalate the situation. "Look man, she doesn't live here. She has never lived here. That's my Aunt. She lives in New Jersey. Please check her ID card!" Cop calms down a bit, and lets me know that he will talk to her and then come back.

    Font - ~10 minutes later, the cops come back to my door. Three of them this time, not just the one from earlier. One of them had stripes and a rocker on his arm, so I could tell he was important. He asks me if there's any way Aunt can stay here for the night, because she's too drunk to drive, so he can't let her back on the road. THIS WOMAN JUST DROVE FROM NJ TO WV DRUNK! Thank God she didn't kill anyone! I told them that she cannot stay here, but that I'm sure there's room in the local jail.

    Font - The cop asks me if she can just sleep in her car in my driveway, and leave in the morning. I told him "absolutely not". When she wakes up in the morning, I would just have to call them to come get her off my property. So that would solve nothing. I ask them to remove her from my property. Long story short, her car got towed, and she is in the drunk tank (no charges pending) for the night. So much for sleeping tonight. My kids need to be up for school soon.

    Font - pgp555 7 hr. ago Crazy how all the cops refused to arrest her 742 Reply Sha TogarSucks 7 hr. ago Old white lady in rural WV has been obviously driving around drunk, causing property damage, and making false claims to the cops? Better send her back to her car to sleep it off while the cops leave. 650 Reply

    Font - Lonely_Rogue 7 hr. ago. edited 5 hr. ago If you wanted to, you could have asked to press charges for destruction of property due to her taking a bolt cutter to your lock. Even more so if she did any damage to the gate. Also trespassing. 174 Reply Share 1-Ohm 3 hr. ago also lying to the police 31 Reply Share

    Font - 333H E 7 hr. ago Good lord. First of all kudos for standing your ground and not allowing that drama into your household. Second, I think she's gone past entitlement to imminent need of psychiatric evaluation. Not something you have the power to do but her husband may weigh in on that when he hears about it. Hopefully your night of lost sleep will be the catalyst to her getting the professional help it so clearly sounds like she needs. 165 Reply Share

    Font - Unable-Ad6341 - 6 hr. ago Is destruction of property and breaking and entering not a crime? Call your local DA and press your own charges. She crazy. 4 94 Reply Share

    Font - stressed0324-6 hr. ago I agree with this. She committed several crimes, yet was charged with none. And seriously, outside of construction workers and criminals, who just drives around with bolt cutters? Certainly not middle aged women, at least none that I know of.

    Font - Electronic-Key-2522. 6 hr. ago Whether I agree with her political views or not, I wouldn't let a relative who tries to break into my home, drunk as a skunk, stay at my house when I already have company staying. Especially if she threatens me with the cops. What she did is trespassing and she should be in jail. 63 Reply Share
