AITA for forgiving my dad’s killer, taking 5k from granddad, and trying to take all my dad’s money?

Dad killed in a t-bone collision. It was a very traumatic situation for all of us. My mother, wife and I live locally while the rest of the family live very far. Taking care of things fell on my shoulders. Not, like, "Diggy, you must take care of XYZ" but more like "Diggy, just make sure Mom's okay."

Court date came for this guy. Everyone had returned back East, so I went. It was super quick, over in like ten minutes. The judge sentenced him to probation, license suspension, and Cal-Trans work. (road work on the freeway.)

After court, I followed him outside. To this day, I don't know why. I said, 'Hey. Do you know who I am?" He turned around and said yes, and he got silent and then said "I'm sorry for your Dad.” I talked to him for maybe 10 seconds, then I hugged him. (I feel SO CRINGY thinking about this now) I told him it's okay, I forgive you, and that was that.

My family was FURIOUS. How could I do that? You were representing the FAMILY! We all agreed at the funeral we were going to make this bastard pay! I told them it was the only thing I could think of. It was too much, and didn't want to hate anyone, I was too tired. Their reactions ranged from anger to disappointment. Not one family member was on my side.

My grandfather gave my wife and I $5,000 after the funeral in response to a letter I wrote telling him how dad's death made my life struggle even worse. This triggered my family. I’m a greedy bastard. I was under obligation to share it. That was not your money, its OUR money. Grandpa died shortly after the funeral, and it was assumed as the 'last of the family line' that I would distribute it.

Trying to do the right thing, I went through dad’s mail, found out his bank account info, and accessed it online. I then did some sleuthing how to get the money out, full intentions of giving it to mom. I didn't go so far as to contact probate lawyers which was the next step.

When I told mom what I was doing, "that is not your goddamned money, you are a thief and a disgraceful child and are disgracing your father's name" along with accompanying hate from my sisters.

My contact with my family now is so formal to the point of sarcastic, and no amount of explaining or apologizing has made a bit of difference.

If I'm the rear end in a top hat here, so be it.

edit driver was high at the time. That’s why I refer to him as killer.

He says in the title he was trying to take all his father's money. I'd certainly like to hear a bit more about that.

AITA ordering pizza at an upscale Italian chain?

Last weekend, my SO (21M) and I (20F) were taken out to dinner by an older family member of his. This was at a semi-upscale chain restaurant, not Olive Garden but very similar. After looking over the menu, I decided to order a $12 personal sized pizza. Wood fired pizza is one of my favorite things ever so I wanted to try theirs. Cue snickering from my SO and his relative. Okay whatever, I expected some lighthearted teasing since they know I’m a pizza addict and his family loves to tease over silly things. A little annoying but I’m more than used to it by now.

Later that night and for the next day or so afterwards, SO’s family member kept texting him things like “(my name) should have more respect” and “if you take her out for lobster she’ll just order pizza anyway.” Apparently my choice of meal really offended them? I genuinely don’t understand why it is such a big deal though. Their and my SO’s meals were in the ballpark of $20 each so it’s not like I ordered something pricey. To me, Americanized Italian food is mostly just different combinations of cheese, meat, bread, and sauce anyway so why my choice of meal is somehow inferior to theirs baffles me.

My SO is seemingly on the fence. I feel his relative may still be giving him a hard time about the scenario days later. He tried to get me to see the relative’s side and understand why that person sees it as a respect issue but also said he just doesn’t want to see me get bullied. I replied “why should I let someone bully me about my food then? that’s a middle school attitude and (relative) is acting like a special snowflake over it.” That might have been a little harsh but this relative is someone who criticizes the younger generation and constantly tells us we’re doing things wrong (cell phone usage, job hunting, etc) yet gets their panties in a twist over something as trivial as this. SO also thinks it might reflect badly on me as being childish that I ordered pizza, but there was literally a whole section on the menu dedicated to pizzas (the regular menu, not a kids’ menu) so I figured it was fair game. I would probably even do it again.

I’m of the mind that caring so much what someone orders on the menu to the point where it affects what you think of their character (within reason, i.e. nothing more expensive or complicated than what the host and/or the rest of the table orders) is one of the most petty/trivial social constructs ever and honestly don’t feel like I did anything wrong. Maybe this is something I should just take in and let slide since that person was raised in a different time though, or maybe there’s another argument for why it’s disrespectful behavior that I’m just not seeing yet. AITA?

TIFU by cumming into a coconut
EDIT: I got an AMA thread now. Help me:

/r/tifu/comments/6rwl9z/tifu_by_being_the_guy_who_cummed_into_a_coconut/?utm_content=title&utm_medium=new&utm_source=reddit&utm_name=tifu

This TIFU didn't happen today but quite a few years back. For obvious reasons I'm using a throwaway account as my family knows my main reddit username.

Anyway, around 8 years back I lived in Northern Mozambique, a coastal southern African country with quite a warm climate. My mother at the time was going through a 'health nut' phase and only buying foods she deemed healthy enough. One of these was coconuts. She would buy several coconuts a week to use in food from the local market.

Anyway, being a horny teenager I fapped in regular intervals. Unfortunately there was some severely stressful examinations coming up for me and as such my fapping reached a higher peak then usual and I was feeling pretty sexually frustrated. One day I hear that my mother is going to be out for pretty much the entire afternoon. Horny me decides that it would be a fantastic idea to gently caress a coconut. Honestly to this day I can't fathom why I thought that would be a good idea but my train of thought back then was clearly somewhat clogged.

I end up grabbing the coconut drill and through 20ish minutes of concerted effort end up creating a hole large enough for me to stick my porker into. I decide it requires some lube and grab the nearest slippery thing (some butter) before shoving it into the coconut followed shortly by my meat. I gently caress the coconut and it actually feels pretty drat good so I blow my load, shove the coconut under my bed and continue about my day.

For the next week the coconut is my saviour. Whenever I want to get off I simply take it out and gently caress it in its delightfully tight hole made better each time by accumulating volumes of my semen and butter acting as a lubricant. It's heaven. Now before I continue I'd best mention that at the time our area was experiencing quite humid, muggy weather which exacerbated an already existing fly problem. Disgustingly fat, bloated flies were commonly found around our house and the exterminators couldn't really do anything because it was a localized area problem that would "go away in the winter".

About a week and a bit after the initial coconut gently caress (I had been using it pretty much every day since then) I begin to notice a few more flies than usual as well as an odd, unpleasant smell about my room. Must be the coconut right? So I decide that I'll gently caress it once more before I throw it out and get a new one.

Worst mistake I have ever made.

You see, the reason for the increased number of flies was that the coconut was evidently, in hindsight, a nearly perfect place to lay eggs. As I penetrate the coconut one last time I begin to feel a strange wriggling sensation. Puzzled, I pull my cock out to discover that it is COVERED in rotted and moldy butter and semen and TEEMING WITH TINY loving MAGGOTS. They were wriggling all over my dick head and some were even trying to force their way up into my urethra.

I screamed, and threw the coconut against the wall which made the situation worse by spilling the contents. Hours of vigorous cock scrubbing, vomiting, and cleaning the remnants were spent reflecting on what the gently caress I was doing with my life.

Never again. NEVER AGAIN.

TL;DR Don't gently caress coconuts.

EDIT: Jesus this exploded. I'm glad my maggoty experience made some people laugh, because I sure cry everytime I think back to it.

EDIT 2: RIP inbox

EDIT 3: Thanks for the gold. It eases my shame a little. I'm thinking of doing an AMA for you more curious individuals. Maybe if the post hits 10K - it's quite uncomfortable to discuss though as the visceral memories come back

EDIT 4: My shame has never been this large. 47.1K upvotes. My story of coconut loving is now permanently etched into reddit's history. Lord save me.

I gave my friend POA and now I want it back but he’s making it difficult (self.legaladvice)

quote:

Long story short, my friend wants to go to law school but has no experience. He asked if he could be my power of attorney to get some experience and I agreed because I wanted to help him out. But I’m not happy with what he’s doing and I can’t figure out how to make him stop.

When we were out for drinks with friends one time, he saw the debit card that I was using and said it was a bad bank. Next thing I know, I’m trying to use the card and it’s not working. Turns out he pulled all my money out, closed the account and opened a new one with a different bank plus a credit card with the bank. When he gave me the new cards I explained that I liked the old bank because they have branches in my home state I can use when I go home for summer from school. The new bank doesn’t. I also really don’t believe in credit cards and never wanted one (I have enough student loan debt anyway). But he said this bank was better and credit cards make more sense and he was doing me a favor.

He also requested all my medical records from the student health center and let it slip in front of friends that I’m taking an antidepressant. A girl I like in our group doesn’t believe in them and now she’s not really talking to me anymore.

I’ve brought up to him that I’m kind of not happy with this arrangement but he said he needs the poa for a few more months to show his law school applications that he has relevant experience, especially if her can’t get a legal job this summer between our junior and senior years.

I’m having car trouble and he keeps trying to involve himself in the repair process and bully the mechanic and it makes me super uncomfortable but I don’t want to hurt his chances at law school.

I’m in California.

reddit posted:

How in the world does being your POA give him relevant law school experience? That...doesn't really make sense.

You shouldn't need his consent to revoke power of attorney. As far as I know, you would need to fill out a form revoking it and get it witnessed, and then send him notice that his power of attorney is revoked.

OP posted:

Can anyone witness it or do I need someone special?

As for law school, this gives him experience writing legal letters and negotiating things on my behalf was how he explained it to me. Like with the mechanic, he’s sending letters demanding certain things because of how the repairs are going. They’re too strongly worded imo but it’s kind of in a legal style. He said it’s a good way to get experience. I’m not pre-law so I just thought this was something people do.

OP posted:

He explained that this was a normal thing people do to get experience on their resumes when they can’t get legal jobs. He helped his gf a lot with a similar arrangement and I thought I didn’t have anything to worry about.

reddit posted:

"helped his gf a lot with a similar arrangement"

Helped his gf to get in law school? Or helped his gf via her giving him POA?

OP posted:

His gf gave him power of attorney. Right now he has it for me and her. Another friend of ours is considering giving him one too.

My ex lied about vaccinating our immune compromised daughter. Update.
u/ThrowYouAway2213

quote:

Wow, that last post got real popular it seems, for better and for worse. Seeing as you guys got were interested in it I thought I would come back with an update.



Well, a lot has happened since that day. My daughter is safe with me and was let out of the hospital about a week ago. She is getting better every day. I know though, you guys want the full story so here it is



After I made that post I took the advice given to me and the next time I saw my daughter I told her that it was wrong of me to ask her to keep secrets and that it's ok to tell her mom. Along with that I saw a lawyer recommended to me by a trusted party. When I went to see him he told me that this is "A case lawyers salivate over" and that my ex is in a lot of trouble. I immediately filed for emergency custody of my daughter. I also got into contact with the doctor again and explained the situation fully to him. He says that while he will not be getting lawyers involved that he wishes for me to submit the evidence to the police and file a report. Along with this, my lawyer has gotten into contact with the court that originally ordered us to vaccinate our daughter and has handed over everything I gave to him. He has advised me to stay quite on this matter so i'll leave it at my ex is in a lot of trouble with them.



During this time, my ex started to get suspicious. Maybe it was because a friend told her about a post on reddit and she freaked out? Who knows. A few days later when I saw her at the hospital we had an altercation. She became hysterical and yelled various threats and insults at me. Including telling me that I want to "poison our daughter" right in front of our sick child. She was escorted out of the building and the head nurse had banned her from coming back. After this she sent me a barrage of texts telling me that I am a monster and that if she had vaccinated her that she would be dead now. This was sent to my lawyer. As he puts it, "she's what lawyers dream of when they hear who's on the other side of the court."



Outside of this, i've been advised to stay as quite as possible so i'll leave it with this.



This week I received emergency custody of my daughter until our custody hearing later this year. I have heard that the DA is slowly getting ready to move forward with a multitude of charges against my ex and that will land her in jail soonish.



And that's really it for now. I'm going to follow the advice given by my lawyer and say nothing else to anyone. I do not want the media involved in this for a few reasons so i've left this as vague as possible. When this is all said and done, if the interest is still there I may come back again. But for now, thanks for the advice in the original thread, me and my daughter appreciate you all.
