'[She] thought this meant "we" won the money': Lotto winner's family insists on sharing her $50,000 prize, while the winner wants it all for her baby

Should you ever win the lottery, don't tell a soul until you lawyer up! 

Winning the lottery changes people's lives, but whether that's for better or worse is up to the winner's money habits. This 35 year old woman beat the odds and won a big sum from a scratch off card. Since she's pregnant, she decided the $50,000 would go to her future baby, so that the child can have a great life in the future. However, that's not the only child in the picture here! The OP has a fiancé, and the fiancé has a 14 year old kid from another relationship. 

The OP writes that since she's engaged to this guy, he and his daughter think they should get some of that sweet moolah. This is why you get a lawyer before telling anyone about a lottery win — there's no easy way to turn down the many people in your life who will want a slice of that lotto money once you announce it. It's too bad the OP told her family. Now, she either has to give them some of the money she meant to give to her unborn baby, or she has to deal with some angry family members. 

Next, when a HOA jerk came around to insist a child get rid of her pet bunny, the neighbors shrugged and said, "Enjoy the bunnypocalypse."

'Petty revenge on my own truant son': Mom stages epic prank to force son to stop skipping school

A mother has to do what a mother has to do. This woman shared her story via this thread on Reddit's r/pettyrevenge subreddit, and let's just say that if your child has a bad habit of skipping school, you should definitely be taking notes right now.

 

This woman's son was a good student when he was in high school, but he just absolutely hated going. Meanwhile, his single mother had a full-time job and was at her wit's end after countless attempts to correct this behavior. In her state, parents of truant children could be subject to jail time, so this was getting very serious very quickly. 

 

What happened next was a plan that only a mastermind could concoct. With the involvement of a friend's fiancé who just so happened to be a police officer, this Redditor was able to get her son to grow up in an instant. Keep scrolling below for the full story.

'I walked out': Mother keeps trying to set her kid up on dates against their will, cue dating fail

This mom needs to stay out of her kid's business! At this point, we are so beyond the "it's getting out of hand" level. It was only a matter of time before this Redditor snapped. They shared their story on Reddit's r/AmiTheA**hole subreddit after a major dating fail.

 

Let's start with the fact that OP tried to stomach these setups numerous times and had voiced to their mother that they had had enough of this on several occasions. Even having to go through that would have been too much for me. So when OP went out to dinner with family and realized their mother was actually setting them up on yet another date instead, well, let's just say the straw broke way more than just the camel's back! 

 

We feel for Sam, the date, in this situation as well. He was set up too and didn't ask for this outcome. Keep scrolling below to see how people responded with regard to what OP should do next. For more stories like this, here's another post about a nepo baby's comeuppance in the workplace.

'Please let me know': Interviewer awkwardly asks candidate for a job

There are plenty of great opportunities to reach out to your network and enquire about open positions—with friends, family, and former colleagues all being solid possible leads. You can volunteer, attend industry events, utilize contacts through shared interests—even turn to social media. Heck, just about the only person you shouldn't reach out to for a job is a candidate you're supposed to be interviewing.

It's bold, for sure, but bound to land poorly. The interviewee already has so much going on in their mind and is so on edge trying to give the best impression that they're not going to believe what they're hearing when you make your proposal. The only thing it's going to do is signal an immediate red flag about working at the organization—who would want to work somewhere where the hiring managers are begging for jobs elsewhere?

Still, this job-seeker reported having exactly this happen. Redditor u/clrlmiller shared their story on Reddit's r/antiwork subreddit, telling the story of the biggest red flag they had ever seen. Keep reading to see some screen grabs of the Reddit thread below.

'I was asked to take a 30%+ cut in pay': Boss asks employee to be a 'team player,' employee quits, company goes under

One has to wonder if the boss was willing to take the same pay cut! It's one of those classic rules of leadership: don't ask your employees to do something that you yourself would never do. In this instance, this Redditor was already extremely underpaid for all the work he did for his company. He regularly worked overtime and was reliant on that pay to support himself and his family. It's also worth mentioning that he never actually saw his family that much due to the demands of his job.

 

So once the boss man hired a consulting firm for advice, they told him that labor costs needed to be cut. Of course, this was easy for a consulting firm to suggest, while they collected a sizable payment. When the boss requested that the Redditor take a large pay cut, the Redditor finally had it and refused to take any of this BS. Keep scrolling below for the full story.
