I don't want to sound extreme or anything, but if my sibling had done to my closet what this woman's sister did to hers... WOW. Let's just say my sibling wouldn't be the one getting arrested, and we'll leave it at that. Anyway, if it wasn't clear, this story has me hair-pulling level mad. Call me what you will, but spending time, money, and effort building a wardrobe only to have your out-of-their-mind sibling annihilate it? Yeah, that hits a nerve.  

Let's set the scene. You've worked hard, treated yourself to a few nice things, nothing extravagant, but pieces that make you feel good. Enter your jealous sibling who sees your happiness and decides, You know what? Time to reenact a slasher movie, but with clothes. Leather jackets, silk dresses, and designer jeans all turned into shredded, unwearable nightmares. And to complete the look, A smug, micdrop-worthy one-liner: "Maybe now you'll stop acting like you're better than everyone else." Honestly, even horror villains have classier motives.

  • For reasons that beat my understanding ability, the women's parents side with the 21-year-old “just a kid” sister. Just a kid, you say? What kid destroys belongings like a scam operation boss finding out the operation has been jeopardized and running to shred any piece of evidence. 

    If holding someone accountable makes you the bad guy, then hand over the black hat and call it a day. Because this sister didn’t just ruin clothes—she made it personal, and accountability has a price.

  • So, I (24F) live with my younger sister (21F) while we both save up for our own places. It's been mostly fine, but lately, she's been acting super jealous and petty over the dumbest stuff, especially

  • my clothes. I work a decent job, and I like fashion. I save up and occasionally treat myself to nice things. Think Zara, Abercrombie, nothing outrageous, but definitely stuff she doesn't buy herself.

  • She constantly "borrows" my clothes without asking. I've asked her to stop multiple times, even put a lock on my closet door.. which she broke. Last week was the final straw.

  • InstructionKindly312 NTA. "Just a kid" at 21? She's legally old enough to drink, vote, and wreck her own life ― which she did, with scissors and pettiness. Actions have consequences, and she carved hers into your wardrobe. You didn't get her arrested, she did.

  • gastropod43 ΝΤΑ She is not a kid. You should also sue her for the cost of the clothes.

  • armymamachick NTA, Tell your parents to get f....ed. Your sister is a malicious, vindictive, entitled, and destructive ADULT who is now suffering the consequences of her actions.

  • Rocket8000 NTA whatsoever. You did what you should have, good on you. Maybe this will teach her not to be an irrational child.

  • Your parents are idiots too "She's just a kid" no she's a grown woman who had full control over her actions. And yes family SHOULD call the cops on eachother just like anyone else.

  • NorthernStar99 NTA, and not safe. 21 is not a kid, and that behaviour is not normal. Insist to your parents that she get a psych evaluation. She is not safe for you to be around

  • zelduh NTA and I would move out - and find another roommate. (I have eight sisters, and I have been there.)

  • TheRoppongiCandyman Don't do the crime if you can't do the time. S ks that this is family and not a roommate though. Hope OP gets through this NTA

  • Mean_Muffin 161 If she was "just a kid" they wouldn't have taken her away in handcuffs. NTA

  • MotorMetal431 Tell me she's the Golden child without telling me she's the Golden child. She destroyed your property and then smirks. I'd go NC with her and the parents as soon as the court case is over.
