When an entitled aunt decided to bring along eight friends for an international trip to a family member's wake, she clearly crossed a line. Not only did she expect her family to cover the friends' accommodations, but she also thought her presence would be a welcome addition to the somber occasion. The niece, who was driving to pick up the aunt and other family members, found herself waiting over an hour for their arrival. When the aunt finally showed up, she arrived with all her friends in tow, leaving the niece absolutely stunned. First off, her car simply couldn't hold that many people. Carefully choosing how to execute her petty revenge, the niece decided enough was enough. She sped away like she was in a getaway car with zero regrets. A week later, the aunt returned without her friends and tried to guilt the family into feeling sorry for her predicament. But to her surprise, no one was moved. Instead, they had grown tired of her drama. Keep reading below to see why.

    This is a story about my Aunt Kay and her trying to get me to drive and pay for her friends without telling me first. This happened around 2018, a relative had died and my mom and I were going to go to their wake. Were in the Philippines so

    the wake is 2-3 weeks. My mom goes first to help set up the wake and I would go in our car to pick up an elderly relative (Nana). Nana and the dead relative were sisters, but since she has mobility issues traveling is a no go. My vehicle is a big help for

    I've been driving for about 5 hours and set to pick up Kay. She tells me the location and I waited their for about an hour, we were good on time but I hated being made to wait. She arrives along with 8 other women, each lugging a backpack and suitcase.

    My car can seat 8 people including the driver, and then luggage in the back. Before Kay, there was me, 3 relatives and their luggage. I've made sure there's more than enough room for Nana as she requires a wheelchair and one person accompanying her.

    I ask Kay she was doing and she tells me they're ready. I just stare at her, contemplating whether the violence would be physical or verbal. She tells me that she told her gal friends that she's going on a trip

    and then asked them if they wanted to go. They all said yes. I don't know what else she told them but apparently I'd be the one paying for their fare and other accomodations as they kept cooing at me for being so generous. I wasn't happy with her, mainly because she's treating this as a fun vacation when it isn't.

    The passengers in the car aren't happy with her but they know to keep their mouth shut. Not because they don't want to get involved but Kay becomes a screaming banshee when told she's wrong. I told her off for expecting me to

    fund her gal vacation and for disrespecting the nature of our trip. There were so many things I wanted to do and say, but I wanted to get away before I do anything else I'd regret later. Then petty, petty revenge.

    So I calmly gave her enough money for the taxi and boat fare. Then sped off. I had no problem paying for everything on the trip but I wasn't as going to do that to people I don't know. I'm not a pushover.

    She did try to run after me but she only got a few steps before giving up. Now you're wondering why I'd give her money. It's because I know she'll give a sob story to everyone in the family chat. If I'm asked what I did I'd tell them I did

    give her money for the trip. Then she'd be told "Mustard gave you money, didn't he?! Then what's the problem?!" I picked Nana up and when she asked where Kay was I told her the entire event. All Nana said

    gave her friends what I gave her as an apology. Turns out she didn't bring any other cash with her. She had to pay for her gal pals trip back home and then gave them some cash as an apology. She actually waited for me for about an hour thinking I'd turn back. When her

    sobbing and whining in the family chat got her nothing but a verbal RKO, she sent a long video of herself crying on the sidewalk. Entire wake and funeral and days after she was giving me the stink eye and about me to everyone she could. Mostly everyone ignored her, so she would go and get drunk.

    Nana enjoyed herself, cried a lot. She's still alive despite nearing 90 and aside her mobility problems she's in good health. To this day, Kay doesn't ever want to tell me what made her think inviting 8 people without informing me was a good idea.

    Edit: Nana isn't my grandmother- more of a grand aunt. Nana dislikes kay because Kay used to be such a heavy drinker she'd blackout. This happened during a family reunion, Kay was so drunk and out of it that she started a fight with another relative. Nana got roped in as she was trying to calm Kay down. Kay instead attacked Nana. Kay was held
