A will is a tricky thing, and it is the root cause of conflict in families, especially when one of the older relatives is showing signs of being on their way out. This grandpa shared a story about how frustrated he was with his reckless son, who fully expected that his child should be on the will. That sounds reasonable unless you know the background of the story. See, this kid wasn't one hundred percent part of the family. Or at least, the grandpa suspected he wasn't… His son's wife had cheate…

This guy felt oddly entitled to his next door neighbor's home . There are a million neighbor feuds for this very reason: you can't really tell other people how to run their lives. Sure, you can try to cajole your neighbor to take down her Christmas lights now that it's April, or maybe you can talk a different neighbor into taking down the floodlights that blind you while you try to sleep at night. But it doesn't always go as planned, and in this guy's case, his neighbors retaliated against him…

No one can agree if this father is doing the right thing with his vast fortune.

In the same way you can't eat at just anyone's home, you can't let just anyone fix up your car . That's the lesson u/Muchacho1994 learned after letting their grandfather check out their 2005 Chevy Malibu. Spending time with devoted grandparents is the best. They just want to spoil their grandkiddies with presents and food and hugs. It's easy when your grandkids are very young and eager to play with their grandparents. As the kids get older, you have to find new things to bond over, such as a ne…

When the boss was out for two weeks, this company didn't make a single pair of glasses the right way. It all could have been avoided if this supervisor would just listen to his employees! Even though c-suite executives make the big bucks, they're rarely as in tune with the company as other employees. Especially in a place like a factory , the employee who works on the machines each day knows way more about the current state of things than a supervisor who lounges in a room alone all day. Even s…

Family drama can get messy. Throw any sort of inheritance issue into the mix and you have a recipe for disaster. Greed shouldn’t get in the way of familial relationships, but, unfortunately, people are money hungry by nature. I suppose that’s cynical; it’s just quite often true. In a post to the /r/amitheasshole subreddit, user /u/Pretend_Canary_9411 described a particularly awful situation. To make a long story somewhat short, the user discovered that her sister had been sleeping with her fian…

When buying a property and beginning to build on it, you need a bunch of permits, and the house needs to pass inspection, which won't be possible if you don't build according to country code. But sometimes, if you're smart enough, you can dodge the rules, and make up some of your own. It doesn't always work, but when it does, it's quite something. In this case, OP shared a story about his ‘shady’ grandpa, who according to OP, was a very smart man, but also, not the greatest person in the world.…

This new employee just didn't have what it took to succeed on an oil farm . One oil farm employee worked as a data entry specialist, and encountered this new worker who absolutely refused to take orders from her. Her “orders” were just filling out basic paperwork… but somehow this Florida Man thought that that was emasculating to him. Not to mention that the OP was just 17 years old at the time, which just gave this Florida Man more reason to be angry with her. As people in the comments noted,…

Behold: one of the greatest examples of malicious compliance ever told. This Grandma's commitment to stubbornness is truly unmatched. Back in the 1950s, things were much different than they are now in almost every way. Back then, stereotypical gender roles were in full force, with women getting married, having lots of children, and running a household while raising the kiddies. Meanwhile, the man of the house would work a job. That's it. But that was considered the men's responsibility. Back th…

Sometimes honoring an original deal is more profitable than renegotiating a new one, and that is pretty accurate in this case. OP explained how her grandfather used to own a piece of land next to a horse racetrack; their land nearly entirely surrounded her grandfather's, except for the fact he had access to a public road. The racetrack itself was laid out in such a way that their exercise track was placed on her grandfather's land, while the main track with a stadium was placed to the south. Th…

One last gift

It's absolutely mind-boggling to think of all the tech-related advancements that have occurred over the last, oh, fifty years. And while we do poke fun at the technical abilities (or lack thereof) of the geriatrics in our lives, we've really got to hand it to them: There's been a lot to keep up with. While my 93-year-old grandmother impresses me with her knowledge of how to email, the truth is that there are definitely elderly people who are both more and less technologically advanced than she…

Protect this gradnpa at all costs.

Pawpaw is just asking the hard-hitting questions.

Just an old man in his denim overalls with his cat in denim overalls.

As her and her abuelo approach the gathering of 7 of his sons/daughters, 2 in-laws, 19 grandkids, and 4 great grandkids, he starts tearing up with emotion.
