Woman Gets Epic Revenge On Sister-In-Law Who Never Pays For Meals
The general consensus on Reddit was that, while OP technically took something that didn’t belong to her, it was justified given the circumstances.
“She made the reservation and invited you. Etiquette says she would be responsible for 100% of that bill.”
“Usually, I’m against people touching others’ property, but in this case, well done. Be aware that next time she will be hiding her wallet, but maybe just refuse to go out to dinner if she didn’t bring her wallet/card. Let her know if she doesn’t pay she will not be going out with you and your husband, and make it clear that your hospitality is a courtesy, not an obligation. She’s very welcome to stay in a hotel next time if she doesn’t abide by the rules and respects you. Your husband’s family might start harassing you after you establish the rules, so it might be worth having a dialogue with your husband and having him be ‘the bad cop.’ If the family complains, tell them that they are welcome to pay your SIL’s expenses, including past dinners if you have the receipts or bank statements.
Your SIL’s an entitled brat.”
“I am an absolute control freak about people touching my stuff, but…you’re not the asshole. As others have pointed out here, if she’s really hard up financially, there’s always IHOP for meals out.”
