That stepdad got exactly what he deserved. Homeless? His own fault, he should not have mistreated the person who OWNS the house he's living in. Jobless? His own fault, he should not have committed fraud, especially considering his profession (although I don't think he's worthy of being called professional).
Absolutely agree with you the stepdad never treated him like family or even as a person. They got what they deserved.
Absolutely. He can go live in hell...
đ„đ„đ„đ„
I totally agree
I totally agree aswell
agreed
If I were that first OP I'd have a restraining order filed against the step-dad and his son and move far away, people have killed for WAY less than that, no sense not being careful.
I couldn't agree with this more. I've seen people try & kill over literally nothing. _They_ bump _your_ shoulder, and before _you_ turn around they're already pulling out the shiv. People are freakin' dangerous, and anything can happen any time.
Smartest choice is always to be wary of others- especially once they've got _some_ kind of reason.
Yep moving was the first thing I thought after that story. No way Iâd stay where they knew where I lived after doing that.
That entire stupid clause that says op had to wait until he was 18 is just stupid
You can't get a restraining order for stuff involving money, at least that's what I think. You can only get one for harassment, theft, assault etc. Basically physical stuff.
Op also lives in the GPS house so the step dad prolly knows where he lives đ€·ââïž
The Stepdad got exactly what he deserved.
Iâm glad the young man had enough intelligence to do what was necessary to get rid of his stepdad and stepbrother.
Yes he now needs an honest person to help him navigate with his inheritance.
The OP for being so young handled it well. Calling the lawyer was best thing OP could have done. The stepfather using some of the money isn't surprising. The fact he had to pay it back was the best part.Since he owed OP so much he lost everything. Karma sometimes gets the bad guy.
In the case of the second story...she literally paid 2x the price to have extra space for the comfort of herself and those around her. I'm glad the airline respected that. I've heard horror stories about airlines forcing people over a certain size to do that, but then giving the seat away to someone on standby anyway. So literally just charging a fat fee but not actually guaranteeing extra space.
Exactly... And I bet if she hadn't bought both seats, they would have told her that she should have bought two seats (sadly I've heard that joke about people too many times).
yes, but would have been a totally different story if OP only bought one seat but expected to use portion of other unpaid seat due to their size.
So good on OP to buy an extra seat!
The guy said brother the ops a boy
All of you shut up and look at the goofy ahh thumbnailđ
â@@yuhno808Agreed.
I can't even comprehend the 1st story. How the hell does this kid in any world think he's the jerk, the kid needs a family and a hug. Lost all his close blood relatives before 18 years old. Now has to stay with asshole step-family that wants to strip all his wealth and make him penniless. Kid you are amazing for surviving all of that and have good instincts. I hope you are able to make a family you can feel safe with someday. The story hit to damn close to home for me and I was lucky I had my mom.
I think the kid needs a dog instead. And he isn't a kid now I think. Dogs can manipulate but never betray.
@@1mol831 When I say kid, more so a young person. I have 10 years on him at least.
@@0doublezero0 I see kid = child = small person aka someone who is less than 10 years old. People have different definitions of the same word indeed.
@@1mol831 Yeah, if you watch some movies you'll see an older guy (40s) call a younger guy (20s) kiddo.
finally, i found someone who looks at the perpective of the OP, not just decides if he was the jerk or not
Bravo to the OP for standing up when things looked bad. Glad how things worked out in the end.
"Original poster"
Wow. There is no excuse for this. That father and son are terrible. This kid is a legend to deal with this with no close family, and very young. Bravo. You are NOT the jerk
The op who bought 2 seats is in the right, thats exactly how to handle the situation, you adapt to the world and not the other way around, props to her
Yeah I know a lot of flights actually make obese people pay for two seats if thatâs how much space they need. But the couple insulting the op just because they were angry they got called out for doing something wrong is ridiculous.
@@alyssaberg8507 making they pay is not a good thing in my eyes, let them make the decision to get more confort, its sad to see them having to deal with people like that when they are actually doing the right thing
@@GabrielM01 Technically it does affect other passengers if they are too large in size. It would be more ideal if they are to fly business.
@@1mol831 thats why she bought 2 seats my guy, and she was talked shit for it
@@GabrielM01 She was unfortunate indeed.
Not the jerk. The kid would have chosen his family over money. I hope his grandparents taught him about scammers and how to handle money before they passed. Glad his lawyer handled this well. As far as the plane seating goes, if you paid for both seats then they are yours. We have all had some stranger lean way too far into us in a crowded space and it is awkward. Obviously buying the second seat was to prevent not just the awkwardness but also making someone feel self conscious and hurt their feelings. I am sure someone else would have traded with the couple so they could sit together.
yea i agree
4 million is not enough. Need 120 million to live a nice life.
@@1mol831 actually if done correctly and he works for a few years . Let's interest accrue and he invests wisely he can then never work again. Make the money work for you. Is why I hope his grandparents taught him about investing and the stockmarket. Anyone complaining about being left 4 M. When all you want is your family and life back is ridiculous. Completely missed the moral of the story.
@@1mol831 you only need 1.2million to live decently whole life rest money you could have put in bank for % gain so no you crazy as fuk
@@lisasmith7474 family is obviously better than money. Money can be spent, family takes longer to be spent
i honestly feel bad for op because of him losing the ones closest to him and being forced to live with a person trying to manipulate him.
The first story will be one ill never forget. It genuinely made me cry thinking of my own family. My grandma passed away couple of years ago, my grandpa just recently and now my mom is in the hospital in intensive care. Now it maybe not be as bad as the op where all three passed right away but it hurts too see them leave or even hopitalized in a critical condition. I will always appreciate them and my other living family. Happy for the op to get his way against his stepfather.
Update: My mom has now passed away. We'll miss her a lot.
Second story - It's simple: the OP paid for the seat. It's hers. She is not the jerk for expecting to get what she paid for.
No one forced your stepdad to steal from your family. Even a crappy parent can be a provider and thatâs the very least he could do. On a more cynical note, him and his son were suddenly very nice to you AFTER they found out all the assets were left to you. This change in behavior is evidence that even after losing your mother and grandparents, they were still going to treat you like crap before finding out youâre their golden goose.
After hearing what happened to OPâs mother and grandparents I almost cried and that doesnât happen often as I am pretty much emotionless
I'm absolutely sickened from this story. Not only to lose your closest family but to have that disgusting individual take advantage of him and everything else. Just terrible.
That step dad got exactly what he deserved in story 1, and in story 2 if somebody tried pushing me out of my freaking seat I would have done the same thing (I'm actually pretty thin, only weighing 170 lb)
Edit: Dang 3 likes, more than I've ever gotten! đ©đ»
umm... 77 kg is not thin, it's average
@@panda9315 It can be thin if you're tall.
I'm also thin at 1700kg
@@jahbless3220 I'm 5'11" and a woman lol
Dang 3 is your max?
The second OP is not a jerk. She's entitled to the 2 seats she paid for. How would the couple like it if someone took something they paid for with their own money.
And the 1st OP is definitely not a jerk. The stepdad probably would've drained all his money and kicked him out if he found out sooner.
The stepdad is weird.
When it comes to estates, the worst comes out of people. Good on this person to stand up to that thief.
he's not a jerk, he's smart it was the fathers home he had been stealing money
Normally I dont like when people take up two seats on a plane because they didn't pay for the spot that there mass takes up, However; she payed for the spot AND the couple went out of there way to sit in that spot. If she payed for that extra spot it's hers and she can do what she wants with it
Exactly. You can't complain if you don't pay for the seat, but if you do, everyone else can kindly fk off.
Agreed
Basicly, she paid for it, so they can piss off
It sucks when a person is terrible and you're the only one who can see it.
Second story, I feel like the poster was not a jerk. She intentionally purchased a second ticket to ensure she and the other passengers were comfortable. The boyfriend invaded that space without a second thought. Doubly a jerk for being rude as well.
OP needs to see the lawyer that enacted/helped write the will. Best to sell the house and move without a forwarding address after getting a restraining order
I remember one incident in which my sis bought the window seat of the plane even when I insisted she doesn't have to pay more for that I'll take a middle seat. Dude who had the aisle seat got angry on me when i told him that window seat is mine and his is the aisle one and told me he will get up when the plane starts i was annoyed but i said ok. Then the flight attendants announced that no passengers can get up from their seats after the flight starts. I panicked and just asked the flight attendants to explain that guy about the seats. He got furious when i did that but thank God he got up without a fuss. I hate it when I pay extra for some seats and someone else is entitled enough to even fight for it
I feel bad fot the first op, he lost his family and had to deal with those 2, and even if he got all that money, won't fill the hole of loosing his family, i hope he find nice people that wont try to use him as a pig bank and give him happiness and enjoy life, and don't spend all money in vegas
I love how most of the time, "am I the jerk" is a rhetorical question
story one made me on the verge of tears. but my opinion is that not a jerk, your inheritance your money. and i wish the op the best of luck.
I have a strong feeling the grandparent knew the stepdad steal from them or they saw red flag and knew they couldn't trust him and they just play along for OP and the mother who they had a bond with but in secret they left OP with everything and when Stepdad told OP that he would take care of his money at that moment I knew the stepdad going try fuck over OP for sure and by he want OP sign everything over to him when Op turn 18 his true color came out and the reason why the stepdad didn't want Op to have a relationship with his family cause he want Op alone cause he think he can manipulation OP by himself and Karma came
Definitely the grandparents knew. No doubts
Iâm surprised you can write that much text without any punctuation at all.

I love when the OP was threatened then pulled the SUE card on him
Happy for you, my... What a story of achievements đđđ I'm sorry about what happened to your family and I'm so happy those two and you got what you respectively deserved.
Regarding the first story if it was me I would have sought alternative guardianship. It was obvious it was not going to work out well. Someone under the age of majority can actually become their own legal guardian if the court deems it necessary. It can usually also be done permanently or temporarily.
An alternative guardian can be appointed by the government, that occurs for adults that can't look after themselves and services paid for by the estate. I was my own legal guardian from a young age, much younger than OP.
@Y I was my own guardian from the age of 13. I could sign, imagine that.
@Y I was my own guardian from the age of 15.
Ty for sharing
Story 2: NTJ. The couple were too cheap to buy seats next to each other, or didn't plan ahead, so that is on them. Just their actions and reactions alone tell me this is the case.
I wouldn't doubt if the step-dad had a part to play in the unaliving of those family members... it gives me anxiety thinking about it...
Dude... You did good... I'm Proud of YouđŻ
I'm sorry the first OP's loss I know what it's like to lose a close family member. 2 years ago, my great grandmother passed just before I graduated high school. I was really close to her and would always help her get around. My family is low middle/low class and we have a very different outlook on money and most of her money was used on her funeral and paying off her bills. I would have done the same thing as op but file a restraining order.
Iam 89% sure that That step dad paid somebody to cause the accident.
I know he's a jerk but i don't think that possible
đđ He knew so much about money. He just forgot. The number one rule , don't steal it.đđ
Most satisfying story đ©đ€đœđŠ
Kid needs to invest his inheritance and save it. Safer than spending it like it isn't going to end.
if he was so wise with money then why did he steal so much. that alone proves otherwise. ima be honest I had the biggest smile when the trash stepdad was sued. What the heck did he expect op to not realize?
Smart people can steal money, but others never realize and they get away with it. Those who steal money and get discovered and held accountable are not smart enough.
In fact I think smart people are stealing your money right now by having the government charge taxes and perform government expenditure.
Same here I get anxious when my parents arenât home
Not a jerk and like you said at the end of the video the cruelest of people will suddenly become the nicest person youâve ever met if they think they might get something good out of it
It's crazy how fast this channel is growing!
how to avoid scammers after inheriting millions of dollars: donât have any children, otherwise the scammers will have a reason to go for the âyour child got hit by a car and is in the hospital!â thing
Then how do I continue my family tree if I don't need children
Couldn't you just...call the hospital and confirm it?
my child is at home
-scammer rare drops to -69
I fell so bad for the guy whoâs entire family passed away as I lost one of my best friends when I was 8, a family friend I considered as a brother/uncle when I was 9 and one of the friendliest security guards at my school, who would always cheer me up when I was sad, when I was 11 and i imagine that is only a tiny fraction of the grief that he felt so I feel so bad for him but his stepfather got everything that he deserved. And i hate the fact that he told the op not to trust his extended family because they would take advantage even though he was planning to take advantage of the op himself by spending his stepsonâs money and he TOTALLY deserved everything that came for him
That was savage brooooo awesome
Is only me that thinks the stepfather planned the accident so he could take all the money and properties?
No. I believe so too.
He and his son will both
rot in hell for they're greedy actions.
I thought the same. It was to much convenient he and his son stay, and hope OP will stay as well (mainly because if OP went and died in the accident the inheritance will go to a charity instead). SO they could pull this scheme knowing OP is still underage but 1 year away at the time when it happens, and they try to bullied their way into make them the sole owner of the inheritance too. Even the red flags was the moment the step father start to threat OP concerns as worrying to much and overreact. Is as if he knew what would happen too that day and prepare himself for all of this.
Nope me as well this was my first thought
same exact thought as it was just too convenient for him
I thought the same. But something like this would take some serious planning to do it.
#1 - NTA. The OP didn't make the stepdad homeless, the stepdad did through his own actions. Also, as the guardian of a minor with both parents deceased he was likely collecting social security survivor's benefits on the OP.
Ngl, this is one of those situations where I would be suspect the accident was orchestrated..
The Step dad sounds like the type to do something like that
hey i love your vids keep up the work!
I feel bad for the person that lost his family.
No it was not your fault dude he is a shady man that doesnât deserve anything
love this so emotional
My biological dad has been fighting through a deadly illness recently, so I can relate to the OP being scared about some stuff. Itâs been hard for me, but things are brightening up so I guess most stories can have happy endings đ
I was riveted & engrossed with this story. Very well done AITJ! Keep them coming.
Story 1: the OP is not a jerk, the step father was being so obvious in wanting the OP's inheritence. I don't how the step people's reaction was during the news of the death but I think the OP should get a full investigation into just to make sure the step father didn't arrange for that little "accident".
Story 2: not a jerk, The op payed for that seat. The flight attendant sided with the OP because she was a paying customer. Besides that couple would only be apart for a few hours, They be together with each other the whole time at where ever they are going.
Man, your like never the jerk. Your just doing the right thing.
This is why, when you purchase a second seat, you need to make sure to sit in the MIDDLE seat during boarding. Then "graciously" move to the "extra" window seat to give your aisle mate some more room. If someone asks to sit in the spare seat, just say "SURE!" And move back into the middle seat, patting the window seat obnoxiously.
As soon as I saw the title i was like:
"Yessir thats what we like to see"
I really feel for the first kid. I can't imagine losing the rest of my family, but I know how he feels since I lost multiple family members this past year. My grandparents were just like his as well, had multiple millions. My dad has inherited most of the money, and he's in his 70's. He's getting married in 1 month, to his bitch of a gf 12 or 13 years younger than him, both their third marriage. Tg I have a sister to go through this hell with.
Goodbye inheritance... I dont believe in remarrying in old age for this reason.
op, the second you heard the the stepdad was taking hold of the inheritence, you should have signed something with the lawyer to make sure it was in safe hands i.e. in a custom bank and/or a bui.ding socioty until you turned 18 and continued witout any coms with your step family
"Taking care of me" sounds like a major understatement. Sounds like the stepdad barely did the bare minimum by keeping OP housed and fed, but then negated some of those passive good person points by being an absolute jerk, majority favouring his bio-son instead of treating both of his children like his own, being emotionally and financially abusive. No, OP is not the jerk for giving the stepdad his well deserved comeuppance
I love how karma comes to them all. Every time
Another GREAT video! Thank you Am I the Jerk for making my day with your awesome content! â€ïžđ„°
I have the same sense I feel anxious when something is about to happen
Iâm sorry, but THAT THUMBNAIL. Iâm dying.
frr
I was about to say that
I feel very sorry but proud toward the op of the first story
He is just a young man in a terrible situation. The peoples he loved died and his stepfather tried to screw him over.
But i'm very proud of him for not taking anyone shit when he was at his lowest point. What a man !
For the first story the timing of the death of the grandparents and mothers seems so off
Right!
Agreed. Bet that scumbag stepdad caused the accident on purpose.
That jerk should burn in hell.
The stepdad knew how much there was at stake the whole time he has he was the one taking care of the grandparents finances
*Story 1:* While I can understand wanting all the money one could get, I'd love to inherit over $1,000,000, that's more money than most working people make.
That first story is exactly why the reading of a will should happen after it's finalized not after the person's death. This sort of "surprise, you're a millionaire" situation always brings out the worst in people. If those grandparents had made everyone aware of what was in the will after they wrote it, it's likely the stepdad would've shown his true colors to the mom and/or son before their death and taken steps to prevent his manipulating behavior from causing problems.
So the second story Op is a jerk for not giving up HER sit?
That is mind-blowing logic right there
I agree but damn fuck, discord and reddit mod + genshin impact player at the same time
The thumbnail is just hilarious đđ
Your not a jerk. You served him a nice juicy case of karma. Don't feel bad and just focus on yourself
Stepdad should have went to jail for fraud
Absolutely. Tho being homeless is his eternal jail and later hell...
We had a couple losses in the family last year. It was _devastating._ I couldn't honestly say that, if it were me in this situation, I wouldn't want to go and just _humiliate_ the bastards, if I could find them on the street.
I'm not one for pissing on, picking on, robbing or beating up the homeless, but in their case? Holy shit- I'd love to see the thieving scumbags _fight_ over a cheap porkchop or some shit. It'd make me smile _for the rest of my life._
The first story made me cry he lost his family at such a young age
Man the thumbnail though Step dad: What ya watchin? Me: Nothing
Its just so dumb,why must you be 18 before you inherit an estate?
Just,why? The legal guardian cannot always be trusted to keep all of it, sometimes they screw the person over and get Away with it since the person inheriting the estate isn't 18 yet
That stupid law that says you must be 18 must go
Granted, but itâs sorta the same things like lottery tickets and alcohol, like itâs dangerous for a minor to have it, I donât mean to be rude, but minors canât really do anything with it, what would a minors do with 6 million US dollars? (The whole value of everything he now owns.) well considering who you ask, obviously he was 17-18 in this story.
Wow, terrible stepdad. Karma.
Yup. He and son can both go to hell.
Last story: Not a jerk. Plane seats are expensive. I wouldn't have asked him to move - I would have demanded it. OP did nothing wrong.
bro when he said "he didnt inherit the brain unfortunately"
got me dying đ€Ł
You are not the jerk, absolutely not. What you did was perfect, you stayed true to yourself and kept going even after threats and mind games, good job
I would definitely ask the grand parents lawyer for recommendation for a financial advisor that way itâll be hard for people to deceive me.
But I do have a suspicion that the stepfather orchestrated the accident to steal their money. Both the father and son conveniently didnt go to the trip.
Yep, this is what I also feel, they could have cause it
I love the thumbnail đđ
Our greatest glory is not in never falling, but in rising every time we fallâ
this story is a perfect example of a cinderella story. OP treated horribly by the step-parent until the OP gets what they want, what they deserve or what is theirs and soon after the ones trreating them horribly are acting as if it never happened.
Kudos to this guy this would rough if it was to me. Good job man nice work on your situation. Say positive.
You are not the jerk your stepdad should not have done that and he should know about the consequences if heâs a full grown adult.
Good story bro
Amazing video as ever
Man if the Lawyer was corrupt he would have been beyond screwed . Thank Goodness the Legal system can see the obvious Cinderella story too .
The face in the thumbnail I canât đ€Ł
this is my favorite kind of petty revenge stories
i almost dropped tears . everyone got what they deserved
Since the Mother passed after the grandparents she would have inherited her share and her share passed per HER will. In most states the stepfather would have inherited from the Mother.
Unlikely she had a will given that she barely had any assets. Also the grandparent's will had not passed probate before she passed on, so she didn't inherit anything. When a person dies, their property needs to be distributed to others in a process called probate which requires proof of death (death certificate) to be issued. By the time this occurred both the mum and the grandparents had died legally, leaving the son the sole heir as described in the will without the mum having been a party to it (since dead people can't inherit property).
Legally, Next of kin is usually defined as a person's closest living blood relative, someone who may have inheritance rights, and obligations, the son is closer to her in this regard than his step-father. When someone dies, their Next of Kin will typically be direct offspring: children, grandchildren, or great-grandchildren, this definition typically excludes spouses but most states allow a surviving spouse to be first in line to inherit your Estate, IF defined in the will.
God I love your thumbnails đđ
Can we just take a moment for the thumbnail đđđ
