Horny teenager steals a 50$ bill so Reddit sentences his to death. The story reeks of being fake with a bratty teen and mooching sister living at this guys house. Some dumb momento and even a child free reference.

There’s a story behind that bill and it mattered a lot to me. My best friend Henry and I knew eachother since we were in middle school. In highschool we were pretty adamant about being child free and swore we’d never have kids. We decided to make a little bet though. First guy to have a kid owed the other $50. It was a dumb bet that didn’t really take seriously and I completely forgot about until 9 years later.

I was with Henry at a diner once for lunch and he slips me a $50 bill. It took me a minute but when it clicked I was so ecstatic. Still one of my fondest memories with him. Two grown men hugging it out at a diner in tears after giving me the news that he’s going to be a dad for the first time.

His daughter was born after that, I was honored to be her godfather. Then unfortunately we lost him all too soon when his little girl was 5. It’s been 3 years since then and I still miss him. We were like brothers and I kept that bill as a memento. I see my goddaughter all the time so the bill is also a reminder of the first time I learned of her existence.

Kept it in a small box with other sentimental things of mine on top of a dresser in my room. My sister is staying with my wife and I along with my 16year old nephew. They all know about this story by the way. I’ve told them before many times. A few days ago I notice the box was in a different stop then where I left it and that’s when I discovered that the bills was gone.

He eventually confessed what he did because I was frantically looking for it all over the place. My nephew needed the money because he wanted to take his girlfriend out to eat. But my sister wouldn’t give him any cash since he spent all his allowance money.

Honestly I was so furious and had asked him how could he do that? Knowing that it was one of the few things I have of my best friend and he stole it. My nephew kept apologizing but I couldn’t look at him. My emotions were a little too strong and I just wanted to get away from him before I started yelling. My sister offered to pay me back but she damm well knows that’s not the same.

However she is saying I’m being too hard on him because I’ve been ignoring him the last couple of days and he’s feeling ashamed enough. She’s apologized on his behalf but does think I’m taking it too far.

Right now it’s still all fresh for me. That bill was important to me because of the memory it holds. Now it’s lost and I’ll never get it back.

I’m not at a place where I want to talk to him yet but my sister feels I’m being somewhat of an ass by punishing him like this as he’s already learned his lesson. I’d just like to know if I am.

Most normal people at this point would berate the nephew and give him a punishment, while communicating to him respect for others property, but Reddit being eternal teenagers vows to not speak to him for weeks until the hurt of this crime has passed. The comments are filled with people gleefully cheering on OP saying that the kid has committed a heinous premeditated crime and should be rendered homeless. Reddit loves any opportunity for a teenager to be punished.

I am laughing at the nephew post because the comments are literally asking OP to call the police on him as though that won't ruin OP's family

I have no opinion on whether or not this story is real, but I'm going to have to respectfully disagree as to whether or not the OP's reaction is justified...
Besides the fact that stealing is wrong, stealing from your host is an extra insult because they've been giving you a roof over your head and you repay them by taking even more. Next, while all teenagers are inheritly dumbasses, 16 is old enough that you're responsible for your actions and their consequences when it comes to things like this. OP also explicitly states that he's been told the story of the sentimental value of that bill multiple times. To top it all off, the whole reason he's doing it is because he wanted to take his girlfriend on a nice date. If you're creative, you don't need to spend a single penny to make a good date, not to mention it was stated that he even has an allowance, he just already spent it all on something else. That's his own fucking fault, and he's selfish for passing on that problem to someone else. I think you're exaggerating the reaction OP and the commenters have had, OP himself said he made sure to get out of the room before he started yelling at the kid, and him avoiding interacting with the kid is probably just him trying to mske sure he cools down and can handle the situation with a clear head.
Also, there's a difference between saying "That kid wronged you, I hope he loses his home!" and "That kid wronged you, i don't think it's a good idea to consider sharing YOUR home with him after that."

"Am I wrong for telling my teenage brother that it makes me (female, and also a teenager) uncomfortable that he's walking around the house in nothing but his underwear?"
Reddit's unanimous response: "You're absolutely in the wrong here, bitch. Why're you staring at your brother's dick so much, huh? YOU'RE the creepy one here. It's HIS house (as if he fucking owns the place), anyways! Also, stop bodyshaming him!"
The few comments (mostly from women) disagreeing with the mob and reaffirming that they definitely shouldn't have to deal with seeing half-naked family members of the opposite sex as a teenager, either end up removed or downvoted to oblivion.
Who wants to bet that the reason these redditards are so vocal about this is because they're exactly the type of degenerates to subject their family to this?

I disagree with you on he should just teach the boy and just get over himself. No that's not how feelings and anger management works. If someone you care about truly hurts you in deep meaningful way, especially if it involves betrayal getting over that storm will take time. Honestly he is showing fairly good example to the boy right now by not taking his anger out on him while making absolutely clear that his behavior was unacceptable and fixing what can be fixed will take time. Since this written to be a one time thing instead of a pattern I think the nephew deserves change to prove that he is sorry and has learned his lesson but that can wait few days till OP has had time work on his feelings. If the nephew was a little kid I would say handle the kid first then feelings but he is 16. He has brain capacity to undestand not only that he fucked up but saying sorry is not enough to fix the situation and that others have right to put their feelings above his.
 
Sadly Mr Star Wars was smart enough to use a throwaway... I wanted to look for some mention of why they're even attracted to eachother in the first place. The post certainly did more to make them look like opposites than to make them seem like a plausible couple. Wonder if someone is getting married for the benefits instead of the human.

How badly does star wars stuff scream STAR WARS? I feel like if you handed me a blue drink I'd assume it was fruity and fun, not nerdy. And some weeb music sounds epic when performed by an orchestra, maybe nerd music can be made similarly classy?

I feel like it's weird to have a male bridezilla, but also it's weird that it's not possible to sneak something subtle in...
 
Yes, yes you are the asshole. Just have a Star Wars themed bachelor party and get Star Wars themed gifts for the bros, no need to piss all over the future wife with your soy toys.
Agree, while he should have a say in the wedding he should understand that something like a pop culture themed wedding is a big commitment as far as the tone goes. They tend to be inherently silly and can be uncomfortable or boring to the guests if not handled right. The bride who is passionate more about the wedding has made clear she wants something classy and he doesn't seem mind that too much so they probably should go with that.

Still I think it would be fine for him have few nods to his intrests as long as they don't overtake the general vibe. Like have one music piace from SW in play list, have themed cocktail names and/or the groomsmen wear subtle nerdy ties.

AITA did a demographic survey and the majority of subscribers are adolescent males. Absolutely no one with careers, long term relationships, and responsibilities should ever ask AITA for moral judgments. Everything on there is fake and gay since the Eternal COVID Summer.

Some OP recently called out the AITA teenyboppers for being well children and they did not like that one bit. These kids give the same scorched earth solution to every problem. One OP wanted their older coworker to stop giving them food, so AITA’s advice was to go straight to HR and now everyone at OP’s workplace think they’re a bitch. This OP was clinically underweight by their own admission and her coworker was coming from a place of concern.

Now that AITA’s advice backfired they doubled down and told OP to talk to lawyers. I felt bad for OP, they were distraught after this happened.

Hell, if this guy wasn't such a god damn consoomerbrain he could even - you know - work with his wife to plan the wedding? It wouldn't be that hard.
For example, they could plan the color pallet of the wedding around the films. The original triology looks like this

Edit: Fuck it. I'm on a roll.
Wedding dresses that allude to the films:

The groom could go for a nontraditional suit:

Go with white table covers, etc. and contrast it with unusual-looking flowers like blue orchids:

Waterbeads + LED tealights = Glowing centerpieces

Play this over the sound system for some subtle ambience:
Pump in some appropriate smells via diffusers or candles. Try "marine" scents for notes of ozone,
nest ocean mist and sea salt votive candle 2 oz.jpg

or something more daring like the following for a more noticeable scent. This one is Star Wars themed AND smells like "ozone, steel, plum & musk":

There. I'm a wedding genius. Pay me.
You can totally pull this off in a tasteful way without it looking like a child's birthday party, but fucking hell both people need to be willing to work together.

Literally this. The fullest extent should be a Star Wars tie, that's one of those subtle ones that doesn't scream I FUCKING LOVE STAR WARS from thirty feet away, and maybe toss in like, the Cantina music during the reception, a recognizable Star Wars track, that isn't as overpowering as the main theme. And that's it. No lightsabers hanging off the belt, no Stormtroopers strutting around, no Death Star wedding cakes, just let your wife have a good time, and LARP as Jedis at the Bachelor party, or when you return form the honeymoon. I still have no idea why anyone asks a bunch of teenage boys on reddit for advice. If your situation is so dire, that that's the place you turn to for help, you're already doomed
 
Manchildren who hate traditional weddings are an AITA staple. I get not wanting to pay 60k, but wearing a standard, normal suit is the bare minimum.

They’re part of the AITA usual lot who don’t understand social norms and why they should get their wife a birthday present or why you should say something nice to someone who had a baby even if you don’t like babies.
