In the pursuit of money, some people will stoop to embarrassing low points. Being low on money is a terrifying feeling, and if you have nowhere to turn, it's all that's on your mind. Still, there's a time and place to ask for money if you have to. It's a risky question, because friendships and relationships can easily fall apart over unrepaid loans. This person chose a very silly and utterly tasteless time to ask for money: right after a couple's wedding. 

That's a ridiculous time to ask for money. The newlywed couple have just spent thousands on their big day, and presumably they'll need more cash to propel them into their honeymoon. That's also just the opposite of wedding traditions in most cultures: people give money to the couple to help fund their new life together, not the other way around! 

This woman seems to have girl bossed too close to the sun by joining a scammy company, the type that only works if you badger all your friends and family into joining with you. These things aren't very profitable, and worse still, they isolate people from their friends for reasons like this. You can check out the story below, as well as an update that u/Obvious-Ad6961 shared in the comments. 

Next, this grocery cart collector took their boss literally when told, "Don't want to wear pants? Then you can go home."

    partner and I are going to run off and have an elopement ceremony in a few months because it was so bad. Maybe I'll make a post about that later but right now I'm still a bit too gutted about it.

    However, my brother invited his new girlfriend. She's got her own online business where she sells makeup and perfumes or something. She's a "work from my phone" girl. Anyway, our venue had a strict no phone policy during the ceremony, and I asked for nothing to be posted on social media about the wedding (family drama).

    Today I received an email from her with an "invoice" for £500. I gave her a call (she'd put her number on the email) and said to her that I wasn't in the mood for jokes about my wedding, trying to give her an out before she started some more drama, but she doubled down on it.

    Apparently she'd missed a message from a girl who wanted to join her team, and so the girl had signed up under someone else- due to my no-phone no- socials wedding, causing her to miss out on the commission.

    Anyway, I said I wasn't paying it, and that I'm hurt she would even ask. She then said that, if I joined her team, she would waive the invoice. Fine. I'll join if it will shut you up. Except apparently I now have to pay £60 for some starter pack with hundreds of perfume samples in it, even though I'm allergic to perfume. Also she

    expects me to post about it all over social media, despite my desire to avoid other people right now.Turns out she would also essentially be my "boss" and I don't want to work for her as I'm already in a career of my own that I'm passionate about, that isn't sales or recruitment, and isn't commission based.

    I just can't stop crying. My wedding was ruined, my social life has taken a hit from that drama, and now this is going to cause drama between me and my brother if I don't join her company. I hate how I couldn't just get married and be happy. My husband has been so supportive, but I feel so terrible that it's my side of everything that causes all the drama.

    I'm not going to join it, I know I just can't, but the drama of it all has just got me absolutely wrecked. I just want to run away with my husband and never speak to my friends and family again.

    Sorry for the rant, I needed somewhere to vent seeing as I've already cried my husbands shoulder off already.

    [deleted] It sounds like she's working for an MLM so she's loosing more money than she's making anyway. She didn't loose out on £500 she's overcharging because she's throwing her rattles out of the pram. I'm sorry your wedding didn't go the way you wanted, everything crossed for your elopement

    husband Sounds like the relationship that matters most is strong, so that's the important thing. Most people see a wedding as a new beginning, but maybe in your case it's good to look at it as more of a conclusion. Let it be the last time you deal with some of those toxic people. Cut them

    from your life and go forward building your relationship with your husband. It that your wedding day was ruined, but the further you get away from it, the more you'll realize that marriage itself is way better than one ceremony and the party that follows it.

    Obvious-Ad69... OP UPDATE: I called my brother. He had no idea and was quite upset. He was especially surprised when I told him to google who the CEO of FM World was and saw that it wasn't her (one of the reasons he liked her was because he thought she was career driven like him)!

    Apparently he's been having other issues with her anyway, so will be breaking it off this weekend (they don't live together and he works during the week). Thanks for all your support everyone!

    To clarify for some comments: I didn't know what an mlm was, I only said I'd join if it was free, it was not, so I refused to join. I wasn't asking what to do, the second a price tag was involved I was straight onto a hard no. This post was just purely a rant from how ridiculous my whole wedding saga has been.
