Calling all siblings, this one is a familiar burn. Parents, partners, and besties are supposed to take the high road, but siblings get a pass to the low road. If you're a sibling, you get what I mean. Nobody can talk badly to your sister or brother, that is YOUR job. If you need to teach your sibling a lesson and fight fire with fire, then light it up! Because nobody else is allowed to do that. In this story, however, things may or may not have gone too far… 

The sisters were prone to squabbling, but obviously very much cared for each other. However, when the younger sister was set to graduate high school, the older sisters called her a pest and skipped out on it. Then, when it came time for the older sister's college graduation, the younger sister was able to spit those same words back at her. Plus, their parents were out of town, so the older sister had to walk graduation with zero support. Was that a little harsh? It's being debated in the reddit comments, but OP did say that her sister has since learned her lesson after her heaping dose of karma and now treats her with much more respect. What do you think?

    TLDR: -hole sister calls me a pest and skips my graduation so next year i uno reverse her and give her some karma. So for a bit of context, this happened in 2018.

    I was graduating from high school the year before my sister graduated college. My sister is the kind of person that is very random, so she can be great, or horrid. A few days before my hs graduation, I asked my sister, we'll call her A, to

    come because anyone who could come would make me so happy. She also was super open in her schedule because she had finished her own finals for the year. When I asked A to come, she said, and I quote: "I'm too busy to waste my time on a little pest like you."

    Obviously, I was and sad, but the world kept spinning. The graduation went great, my parents were super proud, and yadda yadda yadda. I was still mad though, because she kept insulting me for FIVE LITERAL MONTHS!!!! Anyhoo,

    fast-forward to the end of the next school year. She was graduating from her college. All of a sudden, A was soooooo nice, sweet, and she started begging me to come to her graduation. Funny story, I had no idea what day her graduation was, and I

    had arranged for me and my best Bros to go on a trip to a beach house up north one of their parents owned. So, when she told me, I think you can guess what I said. I'll say it anyway. "I'm too busy to waste my time on a little pest like you."

    Icing on the cake, my parents couldn't come to her graduation because they were in the Bahamas with my Aunt and Uncle. Double fatality. Btw, the trip

    Left_Personality3063. 2 days ago I'm glad you had such a great opportunity to be as rude to her as she was to you. Actually, you weren't being rude. You were teaching her a lesson.

    My (older) brother didn't come to my HS or college graduations, while I went to his. He never even thanked me for coming. That's just how some people are.

I get up and holler every time for him every time. we have a 6 year difference and despite being a pest sometimes, Bug is my favorite person. i wouldn't miss these life changing moments for the

    bearcatjb 20 hr. ago I would like to say, two wrongs don't make a right. But I've always been a firm believer in giving people a taste of their own medicine. Often, it is only then that they get an inkling on how they caused others to feel with their own bad actions

    AITJAITJ 22 hr. ago MOD NTJ. Your sister belittled you and said she wouldn't waste her time on a pest like you. That was very rude of her. Well revenge was served best when you told her the same words she told you plus the icing was your parents couldn't make it too.
