You know how people say, Give them an inch, and theyll take a mile?
Turns out, even wells can run dry.
One Redditor recently shared how hitting the jackpot wasnt just private jets and diamond-studded coffee cups.
First on the list?
His brother, Chris, andsister-in-law, Alice.
The OP generously handed them $420,000 to buy their dream home.
Yep, nearly half a mil.
But there was one unbreakable rule: dont tell a soul.
Sounds too easy to mess up, doesnt it?
Well, not for Alice, who just couldnt resist the temptation of clout.
And when the town starts talking, they also start asking.
Im a friend of your sisters hairstylists cousin can you pay for my destination wedding?
You get the picture.
The OP was over it.
He cut Chris and Alice off completely, shutting the door to any further handouts.
But, as with most of our Reddit stories, the drama didnt end there.
Years later, life decided it was time for yet another test.
Another sibling reached out, begging the OP to step in and save the day.
A polite but firm no.
Our OP wasnt about to reopen Pandoras wallet.
Oh, and did I mention Alice still refused to work?
Lets not forget she didnt even thank him for the original gift.
Is this just next-levelentitlement, or are some people actually that clueless?
When someone betrays your trust, it can be really hard to forgive.
And the sting that comes with betrayalespecially when its from someone very close to youhurts really bad.
Strained relationships, hurt feelings, and a newfound reluctance to trust other people.
And rebuilding that trust is about as easy as assembling Swedish furniture without the instructions.
Lets be real, though.
Most of us would rather move on than play emotional Jenga with someone who had already dropped the ball.
And our OP sure doesnt want to be the fool twice.
It might be ironic, but winning the lottery isnt all champagne and caviar.
