What do rude people with a complete lack of self-awareness tell themselves before sleep? ‘You miss every opportunity you don’t take.’ Or at least some version of it. Redditor /u/MetalM1ke has just sold a car to a guy for $4,000 and all seemed well until a week passed and his mom decided to go berserk. Clearly a fan of mafia movies, she contacted /u/MetalM1ke, demanding he returns the majority of the money.
“I had been trying to sell the car for the better part of a month,” /u/MetalM1ke told Bored Panda. “The 21-year-old found me on Craigslist.”
“My first impression of the kid was he had no idea about anything when dealing with BMW’s,” he added. “He really was in over his head but he was so excited I didn’t wanna spoil how great he felt… The negotiation went alright. I lowered the price a little bit ’cause he really wanted the car and he seemed like a nice kid and he said his dad was a gear head. That made me feel better about selling it to him.”
“Little did I know, his mother was a helicopter parent and refused to let her son stand on his own two feet and she was clearly a dilettante when it came to buying or selling cars.” (Facebook cover image: nakhon100)

21 really is not a kid. If he's old enough to have 4k to spend then he's old enough for mummy to stop clinging on. As for her threats - pathetic. I doubt very much her husband is military, she's just saying that to sound scarier. Fail.

At first I thought the same. But then I remembered an article from a psychologist or society researcher or something similar. Dosen't matter. It stated that children nowadays seem to be growing up waaay slower than before. A 16 year old now is behaving like a 13 year old in the 80ies/ 90ties. This is both negativ and positiv in different ways.

Why did this post feel the need to include the slam against military spouses?

Totally agree. They will be made up of all sorts of people. I don't think for one minute she was ex-military anyway. Like her son she appears to be allergic to the truth. He's 21 as well - far from being a kid and capable of learning from his own mistakes.

I would have told her that I was sending the cops to her home and that the information given to the cops will include the son typing up a false bill of sale in order to defraud the government. Guess the criminal apple doesn't fall far from the criminal tree?
