Me and my sister were very close, i could tell her anything and she wouldn’t blab about it to anyone. I got my first car when i was 18 , and i finally decided its time for an upgrade and got a new one. I borrowed my old car to my sister because her husband drives their car to work. i started noticing strange behaviours, she and her husband started getting more financially stable, paying off their car, getting brand new iphones and new expensive clothing. I saw the documentation of my car is going to expire and i asked them to chip in because i am not even driving it, they told me they couldn’t afford it. When i gave them the car, it was fine, no scratches it still had a ariel but now its full of scratches and the ariel is missing. My boyfriends sisters ,boyfriend(what a mouth full) is buying her a house, a engagement ring and the new macbook neo. I told my sister i wish my boyfriend would buy me a ring, ( as a joke) and then she flipped out. Called me immature and told me i am too young to get married. I took the car keys from her and told her to walk home. Her husband picked her up but first me and him had a little fight but i dont care anymore. Now my mom and dad is calling me selfish. AITA
NTA, but…
>I borrowed my old car to my sister
Lent! Lent my old car, damnit! There’s a specific word for it and it is NOT the word that means the complete opposite.
Not everyone on Reddit is a native English speaker. Quit being so judgmental.
In my parents mother tongue the word borrow and lend are the same except lend has an additional syllable at the end. It’s a common mistake because they’re translating from another language when talking to me in English. Does it bother me yes but I’m not a language teacher and I’ll usually reply ‘sure I’ll lend it to you’ so they might pick up on that.
