Speaker 1: Episode with two stories. First part, I.
Speaker 2: Hope you enjoy this story. The inhabitant grew very agitated
Speaker 2: when we erected a blockade on our property as it
Speaker 2: stops her from trespassing into our yard. She has reached
Speaker 2: out to authorities, filed false grievances, and is causing distress us.
Speaker 2: We used to get along great with our next door neighbor.
Speaker 2: For context, she is an older Polish woman who lives
Speaker 2: alone and is very ocd about her grass. She will
Speaker 2: pick up leaves as they fall down from the tree
Speaker 2: and pick up leaves off her grass even if it
Speaker 2: rained anyway. She has a front fence that she didn't
Speaker 2: run all down her property line. She stopped it at
Speaker 2: the front so her whole right side of her home
Speaker 2: is exposed. Next two hours, then picked up the fence
Speaker 2: when her back yard begins. We had more than a
Speaker 2: few times where strangers would enter the side of our
Speaker 2: house and actually try and enter our home, so my
Speaker 2: husband decided to put up a front fence. At the time,
Speaker 2: my neighbor was reach doing her backyard fence, and she
Speaker 2: knew my husband also wanted to do his backyard fence,
Speaker 2: so she recommend her guy. As she followed up to
Speaker 2: see if my husband called the guy to get the work.
Speaker 2: My husband told her that he did, and that he
Speaker 2: also asked the guy for a quote for the front
Speaker 2: as well. She immediately lost it. Since then, she has
Speaker 2: been acting so crazy. It started with her calling the
Speaker 2: alderman and she wrongfully accused us of taking her land.
Speaker 2: The alderman came and spoke with us and sided with
Speaker 2: me and my husband. The problem is that she wants
Speaker 2: to use our front walkway that's on the side of
Speaker 2: our house to access her right side of her property,
Speaker 2: the side that she didn't fence, so she fenced herself
Speaker 2: out and has always just went on our property to
Speaker 2: access her side. She's mad cause with our fence, she
Speaker 2: can't just walk in and go to her side of
Speaker 2: her house anymore. We told her we would give her
Speaker 2: a key, and she said no. Since she accused us
Speaker 2: of stealing her land, we didn't feel comfortable about allowing
Speaker 2: her to come and go off our property any more,
Speaker 2: but she didn't care. She called a handyman to install
Speaker 2: a security camera and he worked on our side of
Speaker 2: the property and she didn't ask. I ask the guide
Speaker 2: to please inform her for any future work she will
Speaker 2: need to ask us for permission before she enters our property.
Speaker 2: The security camera was to watch us because she was
Speaker 2: so paranoid we would build a fence. This Saturday, we
Speaker 2: had the company begin work and she totally lost it.
Speaker 2: She harassed the workers, telling them to stop work, and
Speaker 2: she was accusing us of stealing land. She threatened to
Speaker 2: report them to the city and to call the inspector
Speaker 2: on us. My husband had to stay outside with guys
Speaker 2: as they worked, and when he went in, she would
Speaker 2: come back out and harass them. Then she called the
Speaker 2: police for police cars came. I don't know what she
Speaker 2: told them, but it was not the truth because the
Speaker 2: cops sided with us and told her to stay inside
Speaker 2: and not bother us. Then Sunday she paces looking at
Speaker 2: our fence posts, staring. She looked at our fence posts
Speaker 2: like ten times on Sunday, and then she was pacing
Speaker 2: our back yard and we have her on camera just
Speaker 2: staring and pacing and starting in so creepy. Then Monday,
Speaker 2: she is walking and starting again, and she stops on
Speaker 2: our neighbors and starts complaining to him about our fence
Speaker 2: right in front of our house. She continues pacing and
Speaker 2: staring through the day. Then later that Monday, a guy
Speaker 2: comes and she walks him to our house and he
Speaker 2: starts looking at our posts. My husband came out this
Speaker 2: time and asked the guy who this was and why
Speaker 2: he was interested in looking at our property. He told
Speaker 2: us that he is a realtor and a good friend
Speaker 2: of hers, and he came because she called him, telling
Speaker 2: him that we stole her property from her and accused
Speaker 2: us of putting posts on her property, which was all lies.
Speaker 2: We immediately showed him our proof and he agreed with
Speaker 2: us and tried to mediate with her, explaining that we
Speaker 2: are legally able to build and that she can extend
Speaker 2: her fence so she is not blocked out. She just
Speaker 2: said no, no, and didn't want to do that, so
Speaker 2: my husband just left. We made sure everything was recorded.
Speaker 2: Then to day she came outside and stared at our
Speaker 2: property again, just pacing. She did the same in the
Speaker 2: back yard, Then she went to the front and started
Speaker 2: flagging down neighbors who she never talks to, and starts
Speaker 2: to complain about our fence, calling us bad people and
Speaker 2: that we are stealing her land. She is acting so malicious,
Speaker 2: What do I do? It's crazy? Edit so I called
Speaker 2: the police to see what she accused us of. On Saturday,
Speaker 2: they said that she alleged we were encroaching on her
Speaker 2: property and blocking her egress. The claim was noted as
Speaker 2: false by the police. Update March twentieth, twenty twenty five.
Speaker 2: It snowed and the neighbor came out with her hair
Speaker 2: curlers and her hair and her pajamas and slippers, no jacket.
Speaker 2: So she was in some hurry and went to the
Speaker 2: front of our house to stare while she was on
Speaker 2: the phone. Not sure what information she needed from staring
Speaker 2: at our posts. Maybe she needed our address. Looks like
Speaker 2: she's trying to call someone else on us. She is
Speaker 2: straight losing it as she knows. The fence will be
Speaker 2: completed as soon as weather is better. Additional info Boop
Speaker 2: clarifies the drawing of the fence. Boop, Sorry, yes, the
Speaker 2: drawing isn't the greatest, but to help explain, she has
Speaker 2: a six feet iron fence in the front of her property.
Speaker 2: It goes all the way down the left side of
Speaker 2: her house, but on the right side. She stopped the
Speaker 2: fence at the beginning of her house and curved it
Speaker 2: in so it leaves the right side of her house
Speaker 2: not fenced all the way until the end of her house.
Speaker 2: She then continues the fence and curves it in when
Speaker 2: her garage begins. She is upset because with our front
Speaker 2: fence she can't go on our property to get to
Speaker 2: her side. Every day she is out staring and calling
Speaker 2: people to her house to look at it and complain.
Speaker 2: Update one April tenth, twenty twenty five. Our fence has
Speaker 2: been up for a week and a half. The neighbor
Speaker 2: surprisingly did not bother the workers when they put the
Speaker 2: panels up. I was so surprised, So that's why I
Speaker 2: didn't really do an update, because I was like, Okay,
Speaker 2: this is over. Finally she must have come to her senses. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I was wrong. On Tuesday, I was coming home from
Speaker 2: picking up my child from school and some man ran
Speaker 2: out his car and shouted if I was the owner
Speaker 2: of the home. I asked who he was, and he
Speaker 2: stated he was from the city building in code enforcement,
Speaker 2: while also briefly flashing his ID at me. I then
Speaker 2: proceeded to tell him that I am the owner and
Speaker 2: why was he here. He stated that he received a
Speaker 2: complaint about a building violation and that our fence is
Speaker 2: too tall and we must cut it down from six
Speaker 2: feet to five feet. Keep in mind my neighbor's fence
Speaker 2: is taller than ours.
Speaker 1: B t W.
Speaker 2: I told the inspector that three licensed contractors that we
Speaker 2: contacted all informed us we didn't need a permit, but
Speaker 2: that if they were wrong, we would gladly comply, of course,
Speaker 2: and or apply for the needed permit. He stated that
Speaker 2: there is no possible way the city would approve it,
Speaker 2: and I told him we will work with the city
Speaker 2: and find a solution. We don't want to cut corners
Speaker 2: and want to do it right. My husband then comes
Speaker 2: out and gets informed on what's going on, and then
Speaker 2: my husband asks the inspector for his email or business
Speaker 2: card so we can follow up and work together to
Speaker 2: fix it. The guy refused to give us any card
Speaker 2: or e mail to follow up with him. He told
Speaker 2: my husband all the information is on the city website.
Speaker 2: Why do you need my information for? He was very rude.
Speaker 2: I know how to talk with people, so I told him, look,
Speaker 2: I get you come across a lot of people who
Speaker 2: argue back and give you a hard time, so you're
Speaker 2: on guard. But I assure you we don't want to argue,
Speaker 2: and we want to fix this issue. He then calmed
Speaker 2: down and told us he has kids too, and he
Speaker 2: understand why we need a fence, et cetera. He then
Speaker 2: told us he would give us forty eight hours to
Speaker 2: get a permit, and then he left. Once I got home,
Speaker 2: I reviewed the camera footage, and the inspector entered our
Speaker 2: property and did not ring the door bell to try
Speaker 2: and speak with us. He just trespassed and was walking
Speaker 2: around looking at our property. He didn't measure anything, nothing,
Speaker 2: So I began to get suspicious. I then remembered when
Speaker 2: my neighbor threatened us and the workers, saying she had
Speaker 2: an inspector friend and she was going to report us.
Speaker 2: On top of that, why didn't the inspector want to
Speaker 2: give me any information to follow up? So weird? Then
Speaker 2: he tells me to get a permit in forty eight hours.
Speaker 2: He didn't even tell me which one. And if he
Speaker 2: said the city would not approve it, why didn't he
Speaker 2: tell me to apply in forty eight hours? Things just
Speaker 2: seemed off I'd so then I went to do my research.
Speaker 2: I contacted my alderman's office and asked for assistance in
Speaker 2: applying for a permit. I wanted to make sure we
Speaker 2: did the right steps after we apply for our permit.
Speaker 2: I asked the representative if they could look up the
Speaker 2: complaint for me because the interaction with the inspector seemed suspicious.
Speaker 2: She agreed and looks up the report. There was a
Speaker 2: report made seventeen days ago by our neighbor before our
Speaker 2: fence panels were up, that our fence was not on
Speaker 2: our property line. The report said nothing about fence height.
Speaker 2: She also told me there was no inspector assigned to
Speaker 2: the case and that it was still open pending investigation.
Speaker 2: So that's weird. I'd maybe he was legit and didn't
Speaker 2: update the case, but it's all not adding up. So
Speaker 2: the alderman agrees this is weird and states that they
Speaker 2: are going to get someone from downtown involved to speak
Speaker 2: with my neighbor because she is harassing us and it's
Speaker 2: just too much. The report she made was false, Our
Speaker 2: fence posts are on our property lines. We have our
Speaker 2: plat survey that proves all of this, in addition to
Speaker 2: all the other things listed in my other Reddit posts
Speaker 2: that she has done. So today, I'm just minding my
Speaker 2: own business like I usually do, and I get a
Speaker 2: notification on my camera. I see someone sticking their hand
Speaker 2: through my fence, pointing at my back, and moving down
Speaker 2: my fence repeatedly doing the same thing. So I go
Speaker 2: outside and calmly ask the women, do you have any
Speaker 2: questions about my fence that I can help you with.
Speaker 2: I see that you're sticking your hand through and pointing.
Speaker 2: She tells me, I'm your neighbor down the block. I
Speaker 2: was just speaking with your next door neighbor and she
Speaker 2: has a problem with your fence. I let her know
Speaker 2: that the neighbor's claims are bogus, and that we now
Speaker 2: have a permit for the height of our fence, and
Speaker 2: I have a survey of our property proving we are
Speaker 2: on our property line. I told her that the neighbor
Speaker 2: is crazy and if she has any concerns to please
Speaker 2: speak with me. As I turn, I see my neighbor
Speaker 2: in her bushes by her door. She was outside the
Speaker 2: whole time and stopped the neighbor as she was walking
Speaker 2: her dog to complain about our fence and spread false
Speaker 2: claims again. Then the neighbor leaves and immediately stands and
Speaker 2: stares at our house, looking at the permit displayed on
Speaker 2: our front door. This is getting crazy and I really
Speaker 2: didn't want to do tit for tat, but I reported
Speaker 2: her illegal basement apartment, which is not a false allegation
Speaker 2: because her zoning does not allow for a basement apartment.
Speaker 2: She also does not have two entrances. I really didn't
Speaker 2: want to do it, but she is really pushing me
Speaker 2: to become a person I don't want to be. I
Speaker 2: want this all to be over already praying she can
Speaker 2: finally understand reality soon. I will update if anything else happens.
Speaker 2: Additional information from O O P, who has received the
Speaker 2: translation of the audio file. Oh O P, I got
Speaker 2: the translation here. It is if you're interested. Women is
Speaker 2: my crazy neighbor. Man is her realtor friend She called
Speaker 2: over to look at my house and complain. It looks
Speaker 2: like he was trying to actually help us, and she
Speaker 2: was getting mad at him. He was mostly trying to
Speaker 2: mediate with her, allowing us to close the back fence
Speaker 2: that has always been closed for over twenty years. But
Speaker 2: now that she is mad, she is not allowing us
Speaker 2: to close it because she owns a couple inches of
Speaker 2: property next to her garage that is unfenced and open
Speaker 2: to our property, So in order to close it off
Speaker 2: from the alley, we need to close it on her
Speaker 2: few inches of property, or else someone can slip through easily.
Speaker 2: She is just using that as leverage. Doesn't matter to us.
Speaker 2: We can just fence it straight down our property if
Speaker 2: we have to, and she will have awkward fenced in
Speaker 2: boxes on the side of her house and she can't
Speaker 2: get in. Makes no sense. She is just using that
Speaker 2: as leverage, cause it's all she has. That's the back
Speaker 2: story on the back L O L and below in
Speaker 2: the transcript, Woman, it's mine. Man, Yeah, but you use
Speaker 2: this M. The rats were running in front of the garage. W.
Speaker 2: He should catch those rats. Em ok today W curses,
Speaker 2: I'm sorry the rats were running. M. Does it bother
Speaker 2: you why? W? Yes, it bothers me. And he will
Speaker 2: destroy it because he is so mean and it will M.
Speaker 2: But he asked you and you agreed. W. No, nobody
Speaker 2: talked to me about it. They just put up the
Speaker 2: fence English part. W cries Jesus on no, no, M.
Speaker 2: And now what's bothering you that it'll be open or
Speaker 2: that it'll be closed? W? What that? M? So if
Speaker 2: he closes it and puts something. It'll be safer for
Speaker 2: you and for M. W. But but it's mine. M.
Speaker 2: Why does that bother you? W It bothers me because
Speaker 2: I'll have the entrance there M where W from that side? M.
Speaker 2: But from that side you block the entrance yourself. W.
Speaker 2: I'm going home because it's too cold. Are we going? M?
Speaker 2: Wait a second, W No, No, I don't want to
Speaker 2: talk to him. I'll talk to some one else. I'm
Speaker 2: going to go to the city hall. M. What do
Speaker 2: you want them to do? Two? Put here? W. I'll
Speaker 2: just sort this out. I'm not giving up. M. To
Speaker 2: be honest, I'll tell you I live in a building
Speaker 2: far from the down town and I've done something to
Speaker 2: my neighbors too. They have something near their house. W.
Speaker 2: But why are you talking to them? You came to
Speaker 2: see me. M. You know what. I think you could
Speaker 2: stand your ground. But it doesn't make sense because he W. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I'll stand my ground and he will do the same.
Speaker 2: You know what, Nobody asks me for my permission and
Speaker 2: do what they want. M. He said that he asked
Speaker 2: for permission. W. You know what I'm saying, M. But
Speaker 2: why do you need the entrance to the garage from
Speaker 2: this side. W. They did everything. Nobody asked me. It's
Speaker 2: mine M. But you should look and see what you
Speaker 2: did to the neighbors. Something with the entrance. W. This
Speaker 2: had been like this since the beginning, do you remember, M.
Speaker 2: But to day some one could come to you and
Speaker 2: tell you to take down something. W. Then I'll take
Speaker 2: it down. M. That would satisfy you. W. You know what.
Speaker 2: I'm going home. M. If I were you, I would
Speaker 2: let him to do that thing. W. And I won't M.
Speaker 2: But it'll be safer, and he will put a fence
Speaker 2: here W and know M, so you will have W.
Speaker 2: No nobody asked me, and I won't allow it. So
Speaker 2: I'm going home. I'm cold. M. I'll go with you soon. W.
Speaker 2: You shouldn't be the one sorting this out. English Part
Speaker 2: update two, April twenty nine, ninth twenty twenty five. I
Speaker 2: know it's been a few weeks since my last update.
Speaker 2: A few of my neighbors actually found my post. So
Speaker 2: to protect the privacy and security of myself and my neighbor,
Speaker 2: I removed my old posts because there was pictures and
Speaker 2: videos that I didn't want getting shared to neighborhood platforms.
Speaker 2: I mainly made my post to vent and get feedback
Speaker 2: and didn't intend on it getting so popular. It made
Speaker 2: it around the world and back to my block. Lol,
Speaker 2: But I do appreciate the support and advice from everyone
Speaker 2: on to the update. So a lot has happened in
Speaker 2: the past two weeks. To start, the workers came back
Speaker 2: to paint our fence and weld some mesh on the fence.
Speaker 2: Our neighbor freaked out and thought the workers welded our
Speaker 2: fence to her post. She called our mediator representative from
Speaker 2: the Alderman's office. She came out to check and immediately
Speaker 2: saw that we did not connect her fence post to ours.
Speaker 2: Then our neighbor got mad and started demanding for us
Speaker 2: to personally show her our fence plans and permits. We
Speaker 2: had our permit on our door. She got more mad
Speaker 2: and used a racial slur towards me and my family.
Speaker 2: And keep in mind she said the racial slur about
Speaker 2: us to the representative of the Alderman's office. So it
Speaker 2: has been documented. That same day an officer from the
Speaker 2: city department from Building and Code Enforcement showed up to
Speaker 2: our house. Again. It was a different guy this time.
Speaker 2: He told us that there was a report made alleging
Speaker 2: we were building a whole new garage without a permit.
Speaker 2: We haven't changed our garage at all. It's the same
Speaker 2: as when we bought our home, and it's clear to
Speaker 2: anyone it was not just built. The building inspector immediately
Speaker 2: closed the case. At this point, our neighbor is being
Speaker 2: malicious and is making false reports to harass us. What
Speaker 2: really worries me is that if we ever want to
Speaker 2: sell our home, these reports stay on record, even though
Speaker 2: they are false and dismissed. After this, we did a
Speaker 2: FOYA Freedom of Information Act for any three hundred eleven
Speaker 2: reports for our address. She made three reports to the
Speaker 2: City do B Department of Buildings, all made in March
Speaker 2: and all made before our fence panels were even put up.
Speaker 2: She alleged we built a new garage, that our fence
Speaker 2: posts was not on our property line, and that we
Speaker 2: had installed a side fence without building permit, all false allegations.
Speaker 2: Keep in mind we adjust the posts up March eighteenth,
Speaker 2: and our panels didn't get put until April fifth. We
Speaker 2: also didn't build the side fence she is talking about yet,
Speaker 2: so she did a complaint in advance. Assuming we have
Speaker 2: no permit. Can't even make this stuff up. It's insane.
Speaker 2: Then she made a false allegation to a police officer
Speaker 2: and told them my husband was yelling and screaming at
Speaker 2: her and throwing his hands up, intimidating her during a
Speaker 2: time she was talking to her neighbors. Then the said
Speaker 2: neighbor walks to her car at the same moment her
Speaker 2: and the cop are talking in. My neighbor points telling
Speaker 2: the cop to go ask the women our neighbor from
Speaker 2: across the street. The cop goes over and talks to her,
Speaker 2: and the woman tells the cop my husband didn't do
Speaker 2: what was alleged. Then the cop goes back over and
Speaker 2: tells my neighbor that the witness to the alleged incident
Speaker 2: says nothing like that happened. I also had the video
Speaker 2: and audio recording of that conversation. My husband went outside
Speaker 2: because she involved three neighbors at this point, calling them
Speaker 2: over talking about our fence and us. He went outside
Speaker 2: to talk to the other people and not her. Even
Speaker 2: his body language in the video was not aggressive and
Speaker 2: he was not talking to her directly at all. After
Speaker 2: he told the neighbors what is happening our side, he
Speaker 2: left and let them continue talking. Yet she wants to
Speaker 2: actually lie and try and put him in jail. So
Speaker 2: glad I have every interaction recorded. Same day, she gets
Speaker 2: very erratic and upset that things didn't go her way.
Speaker 2: That she comes outside while I'm outside and starts singing
Speaker 2: humming like an opera singer. She has never did this before,
Speaker 2: and it was just weird. I ignore her as I
Speaker 2: always do and just let her be. Then she decides
Speaker 2: to go inside and get her purse to pretend like
Speaker 2: she is going somewhere, and goes across the street, intentionally
Speaker 2: avoiding crossing in front of the neighbor who told the
Speaker 2: truth to the copse. They were outside on their porch.
Speaker 2: I assume she is now upset with them because they
Speaker 2: told the truth. When she goes and talks to their
Speaker 2: next door neighbor, who was just watering her grass, she
Speaker 2: proceeds to talk about our fence and us to them.
Speaker 2: I saw it all plain as day because I was outside.
Speaker 2: I let it go because I want to avoid her
Speaker 2: as I always do, but it was so annoying. Then
Speaker 2: she leaves and literally five minutes later she comes back
Speaker 2: in her house. She just went around the block and
Speaker 2: pretended to leave to just talk to another neighbor about
Speaker 2: us and just slander us and paint us as bad people.
Speaker 2: I honestly cannot understand this behavior. Then same day she
Speaker 2: calls some one over to come look at our back yard.
Speaker 2: I literally can't catch a break with her. We aren't
Speaker 2: doing anything wrong. Our fence is permitted by the city.
Speaker 2: She is just mad that she can't walk down our
Speaker 2: property as she did for twenty eight years to reach
Speaker 2: the side of her house that she fenced herself out from,
Speaker 2: and she can fix, but she refuses and instead blames us.
Speaker 1: That's the end of the first story. Let's begin the
Speaker 1: second one. I hope you enjoy this story. My privileged
Speaker 1: parent insisted that I transfer ownership of my residence to
Speaker 1: her because my younger sibling is expecting a baby and
Speaker 1: supposedly requires it more than I do. I, a thirty
Speaker 1: one year old man, have a twenty eight year old
Speaker 1: sister who has honestly been the golden child to my
Speaker 1: mother but not my father, for as long as I
Speaker 1: can remember. My parents divorced when I was a teenager
Speaker 1: because my mother cheated with an old high school ex
Speaker 1: boyfriend and has always been controlling, manipulative, and narcissistic, and sadly,
Speaker 1: my sister was like her little minnie me. Our mother
Speaker 1: also seemed to believe she had total authority over me.
Speaker 1: Any time she so much as snapped her fingers, she'd
Speaker 1: snap them and order me around like a dog. It
Speaker 1: was demeaning, and my sister always backed her up too,
Speaker 1: so no surprise, I went to live with my dad
Speaker 1: full time after our parents split, while my sister stayed
Speaker 1: with Mom. The two of them were very alike and
Speaker 1: both pretty much stopped speaking with my father unless it
Speaker 1: was about money. Though I'm more like my dad. My
Speaker 1: father was very business oriented and started teaching me how
Speaker 1: to do his line of work as soon as I
Speaker 1: was sixteen. I got pretty good at it, and after
Speaker 1: twelve years of working for my father, I was made
Speaker 1: a partner in his company. Things were great, but then,
Speaker 1: about eight months ago, tragedy struck. My father had become
Speaker 1: somewhat immuno compromised due to being a heavy smoker for
Speaker 1: much of his life, and died at only sixty years old.
Speaker 1: After he caught seat. Nineteen, I met my mother and
Speaker 1: sister for the first time in years. After we had
Speaker 1: a socially distanced funeral for my father over video call.
Speaker 1: My father was cremated by his own request and buried
Speaker 1: in a local cemetery, so there was no body or casket.
Speaker 1: My sister seemed to grieve, but my mother looked indifferent
Speaker 1: the entire time, though I honestly was not surprised. The
Speaker 1: last time she saw my father, she screamed at him
Speaker 1: that he owed her more money, and then threatened to
Speaker 1: sue him, to which she just laughed at her. He'd
Speaker 1: paid alimony and child support as long as he was
Speaker 1: legally mandated two and no more than that, and he
Speaker 1: even put thirty K toward my sister's college fund. But
Speaker 1: ten years after the divorce, he was no longer legally
Speaker 1: required to send MO money any more because of the
Speaker 1: judge's ruling, and she's by no means broke. She works
Speaker 1: the same job she has had for nearly three decades,
Speaker 1: fully owns the old family home we used to share,
Speaker 1: and even rents out two of the rooms in it
Speaker 1: to Airbnb regularly. She's by no means hurting for money.
Speaker 1: Some time after the funeral, my dad's will was read.
Speaker 1: Apparently he'd figured that if his heavy smoking didn't eventually
Speaker 1: do him in something else would, and even joked about
Speaker 1: it in a pre recorded video. I was pretty much
Speaker 1: willed nearly all of his assets, from most of his
Speaker 1: money to his business and home. He left my sister
Speaker 1: a car two thousand fifteen Nissan Ultima and about ten
Speaker 1: k in cash. My mother only got one grand and
Speaker 1: a few other items that she'd been claiming were rightfully
Speaker 1: hers since the divorce. Beyond that, I got the rest,
Speaker 1: and my girlfriend now lives with me in the house
Speaker 1: my father passed down to me. My sister pretty much
Speaker 1: went from finishing two years of community college to living
Speaker 1: off her boyfriend and only working part time online for
Speaker 1: several years, and during that time she got pregnant but
Speaker 1: suffered a traumatic miscarriage. I wasn't aware till after the
Speaker 1: funeral because we were practically no contact and no one
Speaker 1: else told me when lockdown hit. Her boyfriend's job started
Speaker 1: downsizing little by little, and eventually he was only able
Speaker 1: to stay on part time, which hampered hers and his
Speaker 1: finances to the point he was finally telling her she
Speaker 1: needed to look for better employment as well, since he
Speaker 1: was trying to find a second job. And then she
Speaker 1: got pregnant. She claims her and her BF were careful
Speaker 1: but calls at her miracle baby. One evening, I got
Speaker 1: an unexpected knock at my door, and when I answered,
Speaker 1: I was unpleasantly greeted by both my mother and sister.
Speaker 1: They both walked right in without even asking, and made
Speaker 1: themselves comfortable in my living room. My girlfriend and I
Speaker 1: shared a look of confusion, and I asked why they'd
Speaker 1: come by. My sister was giggling and looking all over,
Speaker 1: opening doors and seemingly giving herself a tour of my home.
Speaker 1: My mother had just plopped herself down on my sofa
Speaker 1: and snapped her fingers while demanding a cold bottled water.
Speaker 1: My g F got the water for her, and I
Speaker 1: asked what they were here for. My sister seemed all
Speaker 1: giddy and just ignored me to continue snooping around my home,
Speaker 1: and before long I heard her yell from down the hall, Mammy,
Speaker 1: it's perfect. Yes, she still calls her mommy. My mother
Speaker 1: finally spoke up and said, well, I think it's time
Speaker 1: to did your brotherly duty, to which I was like what.
Speaker 1: My mother then proceeded to say, now that your father
Speaker 1: has passed, this house should have gone to me since
Speaker 1: I was his only spouse. But you can still fix this.
Speaker 1: You make plenty of money and could just buy a
Speaker 1: new house. Your sister needs this one so much more
Speaker 1: since she's the one with a baby on the way.
Speaker 1: But if you're so determined on staying, you could just
Speaker 1: keep to one room and cover all of the bills
Speaker 1: until you decide to move out. My GF and I
Speaker 1: read enough Reddit to know exactly where this is going
Speaker 1: and how it had play out if I let it
Speaker 1: go on, So I guess you could say we were
Speaker 1: mentally prepared. I took a deep breath and stated aloud,
Speaker 1: that's not fucking happening. You don't order me around, especially
Speaker 1: not in my own goddamn home. Yes, I make plenty
Speaker 1: of money, but like dad, I'm gonna save it for
Speaker 1: when I really need it, not that you care. My
Speaker 1: mother started snapping her fingers at me like she used to.
Speaker 1: In loudly stated stop. I am your mother, and you
Speaker 1: will do as I say because I brought you into
Speaker 1: this world and I'm the one in charge here and
Speaker 1: as far as you're concerned, I am God. That means
Speaker 1: when I say jump, you say how high this house is? Rightfully,
Speaker 1: mine and your sister will live here. Consider this your
Speaker 1: formal eviction. But since I'm gracious, I'll give you two
Speaker 1: weeks to pack your bags and transfer the deed to me.
Speaker 1: In the back of my mind, I'm thinking this can't
Speaker 1: be real. But then I just grabbed my cell phone
Speaker 1: and started dialing. My mother quickly stood up and yelled
Speaker 1: what are you doing? And I retorted, I'm doing what
Speaker 1: I should have done as soon as this shit started.
Speaker 1: I'm calling the cops to get you out of my
Speaker 1: fucking house. She started swiping at me and managed to
Speaker 1: knock my phone out of my hands. Then she proceeded
Speaker 1: to try and stomp on it, but I was quick
Speaker 1: enough to snatch it up before she could. That's fucking it.
Speaker 1: If you don't leave, I will force you out myself.
Speaker 1: My mother proceeded to slap me across the face, and
Speaker 1: I returned the favor twice as hard back handed, so
Speaker 1: much so I ended up knocking her back down onto
Speaker 1: the couch. She held her hand over her reddening and
Speaker 1: smeared make up face in total shock, and then yelled,
Speaker 1: how dare you. I went back to dialing on my
Speaker 1: phone and said that if she didn't leave, I would
Speaker 1: have police come and remove her by force. My sister
Speaker 1: came barreling in between us, holding her arms out and
Speaker 1: saying that I should just do the right thing for
Speaker 1: once in my life and be a good big brother.
Speaker 1: I snapped and said, oh, really, I'm the bad sibling.
Speaker 1: Last I checked, I was the one who's had to
Speaker 1: work for a living since I was a teenager. I
Speaker 1: had to do all the chores in the house while
Speaker 1: you just sat on your ass playing video games or
Speaker 1: talking with your friends all day. And you used to
Speaker 1: steal my heart earn money just to go out shopping
Speaker 1: after you spent all of your allowance. You're a complete
Speaker 1: mooch and thief. So I don't ow you shit. Now,
Speaker 1: both of you get out before I decide to dial
Speaker 1: this last number. My sister started to tear up, crying
Speaker 1: like a baby and said, Mommy, make him stop. My
Speaker 1: mother began hugging her and kissing her cheeks while giving
Speaker 1: me a death glare. Then she seemed to think she'd
Speaker 1: gotten smart and said, you know, if you do call
Speaker 1: the police, I can just tell them that you hit me,
Speaker 1: and who knows, I could maybe say to every one
Speaker 1: you wanted to do a lot worse to a poor
Speaker 1: pregnant girl in need. I don't think that it'd be
Speaker 1: very good thing for you. I cut her off with
Speaker 1: a raised hand and said, just stop. If you haven't noticed,
Speaker 1: my girlfriend over there has had her phone out recording
Speaker 1: almost this whole time, and that means we have recorded
Speaker 1: evidence of you assaulting me first and openly stating you'd
Speaker 1: lie to police. I don't think that it'd be so
Speaker 1: good for your reputation at your job or your little airbnb.
Speaker 1: If looks could kill, my mother would have blew me
Speaker 1: up like a tactical nuke. But she quickly deflated and
Speaker 1: started dragging my crying sister out by the arm. My
Speaker 1: sister was somehow acting like a complete toddler and broke
Speaker 1: loose of our mother's grip to sit down on my
Speaker 1: porch step and have a tantrum. I just gave my
Speaker 1: mother a look and said, do you see now, this
Speaker 1: is the result of the spoiled way you raised her.
Speaker 1: She glared at me again, and then I was treated
Speaker 1: to a show of my mother trying to drag my
Speaker 1: sister off of my porch steps, but she latched onto
Speaker 1: the porch handrails and kept saying you promised me over
Speaker 1: and over again. I let out a cackle and told
Speaker 1: them both from the door to never come back. My
Speaker 1: mother flipped me the bird and then went back to
Speaker 1: trying to drag my sister off the porch. It took
Speaker 1: a few minutes, but she finally got my sister to
Speaker 1: get up and leave with her by saying I am
Speaker 1: a cruel, heartless bastard who will go to hell for this.
Speaker 1: I laughed some more and said that there's also a
Speaker 1: special place in hell for liars and narcissists who try
Speaker 1: to manipulate others to get their way. My mother clenched
Speaker 1: her fists and was about to say more when I
Speaker 1: just held up my smartphone again with it recording, and said,
Speaker 1: the clock is ticking, Mom, get off my property. My
Speaker 1: mother then walked my sister to the car, gave me
Speaker 1: one last snooty look, and drove off. I thought that
Speaker 1: was the end of it, but letting things go was
Speaker 1: never something my mother would do. After a few days,
Speaker 1: I started getting messages from people I know and some
Speaker 1: relatives online. A lot of them were furious with me,
Speaker 1: but others just had questions about what was going on.
Speaker 1: I tried to check my f B but couldn't see
Speaker 1: anything they were saying because my sister and mother both
Speaker 1: locked me on their social media, but my girlfriend could
Speaker 1: still see everything because they kept their profiles set to open.
Speaker 1: We screenshoted everything and then printed some of it out.
Speaker 1: Both of their profiles had posts that called me a greedy,
Speaker 1: heartless bastard who stole the house that was meant to
Speaker 1: be my sister's inheritance, ride out from under her by
Speaker 1: paying off the lawyer who handled Dad's will, which is
Speaker 1: a complete and utter lie and they both know it.
Speaker 1: I called my lawyer, who was also my father's lawyer
Speaker 1: and a trusted family friend, and gave him copies of
Speaker 1: all the screenshots from f B and the video my
Speaker 1: girlfriend had recorded the day my mother demanded my house.
Speaker 1: He wanted to just write a formal C and D,
Speaker 1: but I wanted to take it further than that, and
Speaker 1: he sent them a letter I told him to write
Speaker 1: via express mail that had to be signed for so
Speaker 1: I know they got it. My mother called me in
Speaker 1: an absolute fury the same day the letter was delivered.
Speaker 1: I told her that if she and my sister didn't
Speaker 1: redact all of the untrue social media posts they made
Speaker 1: about me and tell them the absolute truth. I'd send
Speaker 1: all of the information I have to the whole family,
Speaker 1: her boss, and upload the videos we recorded of her online,
Speaker 1: and then I'd sue her on top of it. She
Speaker 1: called me unreasonable and that she just did what she
Speaker 1: did for my sister's sake, and then went into a
Speaker 1: full blown lecture reiterating her belief that my sister still
Speaker 1: needs my house more than me. I bluntly stated I
Speaker 1: didn't care what she thought, and if she didn't redact
Speaker 1: everything and tell the truth, I'd make sure her career
Speaker 1: would be over. She begrudgingly said, fine, you win, have
Speaker 1: it your way, and keep the fucking house, before hanging
Speaker 1: up the phone. That very evening, all of the lying
Speaker 1: posts disappeared from both their profiles. I was unblocked, and
Speaker 1: my mother gave me in everyone else, a half asked apology,
Speaker 1: claiming she jumped the gun with everything she said because
Speaker 1: she thought my sister needed my house more than me
Speaker 1: because she's broken pregnant. But the house was rightfully mine
Speaker 1: according to my father's will, and she knew that even
Speaker 1: before my father passed away, so she had no right
Speaker 1: to try and claim it. As for my sister, she
Speaker 1: also apologized, but more or less just parroted everything our
Speaker 1: mother said while claiming she just went along with her ideas,
Speaker 1: and then she blamed what she did all on our
Speaker 1: mother and her pregnancy hormones. The replies poured in for
Speaker 1: some time on both my mother and sister's profiles, many
Speaker 1: furious with them for trying to take my house. I
Speaker 1: got a lot messages of Soris and my bads from
Speaker 1: those who previously believed her, But all it really did
Speaker 1: was show me who was more on her side to
Speaker 1: begin with, since they were all believing her nonsense so quickly.
Speaker 1: They were mostly people from her side of the family anyway.
Speaker 1: No one on my father's side believed her at all
Speaker 1: and openly said so. My sister and her boyfriend ended
Speaker 1: up moving in with our mother to save money, but
Speaker 1: she put them in the basement to keep her airbnb running,
Speaker 1: and my sister started crying on social media that she
Speaker 1: can't live upstairs. And I'm pretty sure the two of
Speaker 1: them were fighting with each other because all my sister
Speaker 1: did after that his complain online, and my mother barely
Speaker 1: posted anything on her sm anymore because of the previous
Speaker 1: stunt she tried
