Starting point is 00:00:00 Mom, Dad, I humbly suggest you save some money and shop Amazon for back to school. It's for my growth, meaning my body's growing at an alarming rate. And clothes you buy me this year will be very small very soon. Plus, the clothes I love today will be out of style tomorrow. But at least your wallet doesn't have to be my fashion victim if you shop low prices for school at Amazon. Hopefully this is helpful. Amazon. Spinless.
Starting point is 00:00:29 Smile more. Welcome to r slash top posts where OP's little sister is a serial dog killer. Our next reddit post is from Iplaymusicbadly. Am I the butthole for not letting my psychopath little sister see my dog? For context, I'm a 25 year old woman and I recently moved out of my parents' house. My 13 year old sister has always stolen my parents' attention and on numerous occasions has proven to have psychopathic behaviors. For example, she's killed numerous family pets.
Starting point is 00:01:01 My dad has always wanted to punish her, but my mom defended her saying that she didn't know any better. Now, a year ago, I got my first pet. His name was Arlo, a Golden Retriever rescue dog, and he lived with me while I searched for apartments. He was about 5 years old, but he was my best friend. I've never been one to have the biggest friend group, so taking Arlo out every day was what got me out of bed every morning.
Starting point is 00:01:25 Hey everyone, this is r slash from the future. After reading this paragraph, I decided to put in a time skip. So if you don't want to listen to a very tragic description of how this dog died, then click the time skip link. One day, I arrived at my parents' house after work, but I didn't hear Arlo's distinctive bark. I thought the worst, so I ran to my room where Arlo was shaking and whining in agony. My sister had arrived after school and wanted to use Arlo as a pony, resulting in a broken spine.
Starting point is 00:01:58 In summary, Arlo ended up being buried in our backyard a few hours later. Again, my mom didn't do anything and said, she's just a kid, let her do what she wants. A few days ago, my maternal aunt gifted me a Labrador puppy, which I named Buzz. I posted a story on Instagram, but my family saw it and now my mom can't stop texting me that my sister wants to meet him. I told her that she won't be seeing him anytime soon. My mom didn't stop insisting so I ended up blocking her. Yesterday I woke up with my dog barking at my face. Turns out my mom had taken my sister out of school so that she could meet my puppy. I didn't open the door but a few minutes later my sister grabbed her school lunch banging
Starting point is 00:02:43 my window almost breaking it. I told my mom to control her daughter but she didn't respond and only stood there watching the chaos unfold. I had to call the cops to get them away. My dog was terrified and I was too. Am I the butthole? Clearly this is just intentional, right? It has to be. I could forgive is just intentional, right? It has to be. I could forgive accidentally killing a pet once. You know, you trip, you fall, you land on a precious household pet and it dies. It's tragic, but accidents like that do happen. But how could someone accidentally kill multiple family pets? That's not an accident. That's a pattern. In fact, I think they have a term for that kind of pattern. What's the term where you kill people in like a series and you have like a pattern
Starting point is 00:03:28 of behavior? It's like a series of killings I want to say, something along those lines. Oh right, serial killer. Your sister is literally just a pet serial killer. So of course you don't let her around your dog because she's just going to murder your dog. Our next reddit post comes from Offmychest. I'm a 40 year old woman and I'm very jealous of my husband's ex.
Starting point is 00:03:50 Our relationship started with an affair. I know it was wrong. Their marriage was on the rocks and my husband wanted to end it. When my husband's ex, who's 48, learned about the affair, she didn't scream or shout at me. She was rather calm. She only asked me if I truly loved my husband, and I said yes. She told me that if I'm going to be a part of my husband's life,
Starting point is 00:04:13 I better treat her kids, who are 19, 16, and 14, with respect, and not push them to accept me. She didn't even create any hassle during the divorce. Things were tough. My husband's parents and friends really criticized us and his parents almost disowned him. If it wasn't for his ex, they probably would have went with it. But his ex convinced them to not cut us off. Their parents did forgive my husband, but I still feel like an outsider to them.
Starting point is 00:04:41 But my husband's parents do love the one kid that I have with my husband. Meanwhile, my husband's ex has never held a grudge against me. She always pushed her kids to have a relationship with their dad. His oldest doesn't talk to him because of the divorce and it always hurts my husband that his daughter wants nothing to do with them. The rest of them are good. They don't love me, but they're civil. His ex has never badmouthed me
Starting point is 00:05:05 or called me a home wrecker. She did the best for her kids. She still tries her best so that her oldest daughter has a good relationship with her dad. I used to think that she's a silly woman for not holding a grudge. She was always nice to me. When I was pregnant, she congratulated me. And then, even though she wasn't invited to my baby shower, she sent me a diaper genie as a gift. I always felt guilty that I hurt such a pious woman. To make it even more complicated, she has a relationship with my cousin, a 45-year-old man. My parents love her. My uncle and aunt love her. Even my cousin's kids love her. She never discriminated between her kids and mine. Whenever my stepkids visit her, she always sends them back with some cookies or
Starting point is 00:05:50 extra food for my son. She even met my son and treats him like her own. For the longest time I wondered, why is she like this? Is she trying to win her husband back? I even asked her why she doesn't hate me when I was her husband's mistress. She told me that she doesn't see the point because whether or not she hates me, her marriage was over anyways. I'm jealous of her. She's not just beautiful, but also graceful. I know that I was very much younger than her when my husband started the affair, but I can say that she's much better looking than I am. Even if I took her place in her husband's life, I can never be her. You know, OP, I'll be straight with you.
Starting point is 00:06:32 I would also be jealous of this woman. If I were in your shoes and I had, you know, let's be honest, a scummy life and I were a homewrecker and I ruined the life of such an honestly amazing person like an angel of a human being, I'd feel pretty guilty and jealous too. You gotta wonder what the husband was thinking here. Why would he leave his perfect angel of a wife for a cheating mistress? I don't get it.
Starting point is 00:06:57 I don't know why people do these things. OP mentions her age that she's so much younger than the ex, but OP is 40 and the ex is 48. It's really not that much of a difference. Oh well, they say the best revenge is a life well lived and this ex is getting some killer revenge. Our next reddit post comes from r slash amithabuthole. Am I the butthole for filing for divorce because my husband over tightens all his jar lids? His over tightening jar lids has been an issue since he was just visiting at my house when we were dating. First, it started with just
Starting point is 00:07:29 the things that he used. Then, over time, it became every glass jar with a metal lid. He tightened them so much that I couldn't open them without assistance. It wasn't a huge deal if he was there, but if I was alone, it was so annoying. More times than I can count, I've opened a new jar of something because I couldn't get the old jar open. It's been a recurring cycle over the past 5 months. It's just a thing that would escalate until I had a major meltdown and freaked out, screaming, frustrated and seemingly crazy because it's just a lid. Then things would get better for a while. Then it would slowly
Starting point is 00:08:06 become an issue again. Things would get worse and worse until I reached a breaking point again. Sometimes I literally feel insane for being so upset over jar lids. He initially claimed that he did it to keep food fresh. After many arguments about it and my insistence that I don't believe it keeps anything fresh and even if it does make things last longer that I don't believe it keeps anything fresh and even if it does make things last longer, I don't care if it means that I can't eat my freaking food when I want to. I'll just replace things that go bad because they're closed normally. Then his excuse was that it's just a habit.
Starting point is 00:08:38 So about a month ago, my husband had a family emergency and had to travel out of state for 10 days. The first day he's gone, I discover a jar that I can't open. I was annoyed and I was going to go to the store to buy new pickles when the neighbor said hi and to let him know if I needed anything while my husband was out of town. I said, wait here and then got the jar which he opened. The next day, I saw my neighbor outside and asked him to open another jar. He offered to come over and open all of my jars.
Starting point is 00:09:07 I agreed and he came in and went to the fridge and opened up every jar except for two which even he couldn't get open. I thanked him profusely and I told him that I would bake some of his favorite cookies later in the week. He laughed and said it was no big deal. And after confirming that I wouldn't be upset if the remaining two jars were destroyed in his attempt to open them, he took them home to his garage to open them one way or another. He said that he had heard me screaming about over-tightened jar lids a few times over the
Starting point is 00:09:37 years, and he really pondered if I was crazy or if my husband was really over-tightening the jar lids. He said, you know, this is intentional. This is with every jar. I'm sure he doesn't regularly use hot pepper paste or mango puree or any of your other fancy cooking stuff. Then he held up the two jars that he couldn't open and said, I don't know why he's doing it, but this was not an accident.
Starting point is 00:10:05 After he left, I locked the door and sat on my kitchen floor and cried. Then I felt hot and light-hitted. I vomited in the trash can. My chest hurts. It crossed my mind that I might be having a heart attack. I thought about calling an ambulance, but I sat back down on the kitchen floor ready to accept death. Later, the neighbor came back with the open jar of hot fudge and apologized that he couldn't open
Starting point is 00:10:31 the jar of figs. He said that he broke the jar trying to get it open. He also apologized for what he said about my husband doing it on purpose. I assured him that it was okay. I couldn't sleep that night. I tossed and turned all night. I called out of work. By 10am I realized that I couldn't stay married anymore and I made an appointment with a lawyer for the next day. There's literally no other issues. No cheating, no abuse.
Starting point is 00:10:56 We have a good love life. We both have good jobs, a nice house, no financial issues. He was absolutely blindsided when he came home and I told him I wanted a divorce. He still won't admit that he tightened the lids on purpose. He suggested we go to marriage counseling, but I refused. There's no point. I just literally can't get past these damned jar lids. I still feel a little bit crazy about that. I have no idea why he would tighten every jar lid so tightly that I couldn't open it. He gave me no reason. He still won't even admit that he did it on purpose.
Starting point is 00:11:29 But the hot pepper paste is back in the fridge. I use it when I make Indian food. It's behind other things. He's never used it. The pepper paste couldn't have been an accident. It just couldn't. Maybe the mango puree makes sense if you put it on his toast or his oatmeal, but the pepper paste couldn't have been an accident. That's what my life comes down to. I'm getting a divorce because the lid to my hot pepper paste was over tight. If it had been every jar except that one, I could try. I could have a sliver of doubt.
Starting point is 00:12:01 I could do something else, but I just can't get past that hot pepper paste. Most of our friends and families either think that I'm crazy or a butthole. What do you think? And the top comment of this thread is, plot twist! The neighbor's been sneaking in to tighten the lids in a plot to break them up. Alright, I'm kind of racking my brains here as to why this guy would do it. I have three possible solutions. One is just some kind of brain disorder. He's like OCD and he just has to overtighten. He can't help himself.
Starting point is 00:12:31 Two is he just wants to control her and make her dependent on him because, hey, if my wife needs a big strong man to open jars and I'm a big strong man, then she needs me. And the third is maybe to control her eating as a way to make her lose weight, but that feels like a pretty weak reason to me. I think it's the second. I think he's just trying to stay useful and needed in the family. To be super clear, I'm not defending this guy. I'm just trying to make sense of his frankly bizarre behavior. Our next Reddit post comes from rslash true off my chest. My girlfriend's life is about to change significantly.
Starting point is 00:13:05 Imagine, if you will, that your boyfriend and parents have been financially supporting you for the last two years of your life. While you're at school, the love of your life is out working 50 hour weeks. While you're doing shots with friends instead of studying, your 63 year old parents both work second jobs to pay for your apartment. While you're out doing molly and spending the money your parents gave you for books on concert tickets for you and the guy who's just your friend, your dad nearly has a stroke from the stress. And while you're out trash talking
Starting point is 00:13:36 your boyfriend because he has the nerve to cry in front of you, your boyfriend is mourning the loss of his brother. If this sounds like you, well, congratulations, your life is about to change drastically. Let me inform you of what will happen today. At noon, when you decide to roll out of bed, I'll be long gone. In fact, you'll never be seeing me again. You may be confused. Simply locate the envelope on the counter, which will contain all the text logs of you mocking me while I mourned my brother's death, along with the nudes that you and your just a friend
Starting point is 00:14:10 were sharing. Beneath those will be the bills I've been ignoring. The water and electric will both be shut off next week. And a reminder, they're in your name, so I would look into that. Also included is the email I sent to all the professors of classes you cheated in last semester, along with the write up and evidence that I sent to the academic committee that oversees student dishonesty. You may be worried about attending university next semester at this point.
Starting point is 00:14:38 Don't worry because the account you used to fund that was emptied out yesterday. Now you may be wondering what you should do now that I'm gone. Seeing as I've been responsible for literally everything up to this point, your first instinct may be to call daddy. I would recommend against that. At 10.30, an automated text message will be delivered from me to your mom and dad, informing them of how you've actually been spending the money they give you. At this point, you may still be thinking you can slither your way out of this. me to your mom and dad informing them of how you've actually been spending the money they give you. At this point, you may still be thinking you can slither your way out of this.
Starting point is 00:15:09 Don't worry, the texts of you drunkenly confessing to being the one who broke into your grandmother's house hours after she was rushed to the hospital so you could steal her jewelry will also be sent to every single family member's number I have access to. You may be worried, upset, concerned and many other feelings a woman whose life is about to crash down on top of her would feel. You should. Your life is about to get a whole lot harder starting today. Down in the comments, people are begging for an update and OP replies, In about 4 hours, the text messages will get sent out to her parents and to her entire family.
Starting point is 00:15:50 I don't know when she'll roll out of bed. I made sure to mute her phone before I took my exit, so we'll see when she gets the news.
