We all have that one person in our lives who tends to be a bit tightfisted, but what happens when that individual is a part of our own family? In today’s story, we’ll delve into the experience of a woman who, exhausted from dealing with a sister-in-law constantly seeking ways to economize at the expense of others, discovered a drastic solution to put an end to the issue once and for all.
Last night, she had made a reservation at an extremely expensive restaurant, and before we left, I made it very clear that I would not be paying her bill this time. That’s where I may have overdone it, and I admit I saw that trick in an episode of Two and a Half Men.
As we were leaving, she and my husband went straight to the car. I pretended I’d forgotten something and went back inside. I found her wallet right on top of her suitcase. I put it in my purse, and we went to the restaurant.
By the way, my sister-in-law saw that I posted this story and was furious because I had made her look bad on the internet. Honestly, I don’t care. I hope that she’ll learn her lesson and see it as a wake-up call.
