That last story is so cute. Most of what rSlash reads is so depressing and features so many bad relationships (familial, platonic, romantic, etc) that whenever a good, wholesome one pops up it just makes my heart so happy!
The flooring story ripped out my heart. Asbestos cancer, Mesothelioma, took my dad and sister's lives. It's nothing to mess with. You and your family and anyone else you exposed because of this will need to be closely monitored for the rest of their lives. Prayers
That's what I was thinking too, he probably already knew he wasted the money and was probably already agonizing over it, and OP bringing it up made him get defensive. I really hope he's doing well, recovering from addiction after grief is hard.
Whatever was going on with him, he seems to have realized his behavior was disrespectful to his mother AND incredibly wasteful. That's certainly better than the spoiled daughter who probably had never worked a day in her life and is now assuming daddy will leave her ANOTHER fortune to squander as she sees fit. LOL I hope dad does spend that money on himself. Daughter doesn't deserve it.
Yeah it seems like he got a moment of clarity and realized what he has done. And the fact that his dad reached out to him to talk it out made him realize that he still have a chance to make amends and get his life together. At least I hope so
Probably got a reality check when he found the reddit post too and realised how his actions affected his father rather than being blinded by the consequences
That last story had ME in tears, it was just so wholesome and warm and I needed something like that after what happened at my oral surgeon consultation
Story 3: That's the only story where it's justified to a partner to cry and the other partner do nothing. Why was it so wholesome?! Humanity doesn't deserve it. Why can't we be like OP and her bf with our partners? The world would be much better.
that story inspired me to continue my idea of saving up and buying my bf new airpods because the ones his grandma gave him were broken and he didnt want to tell her, I'm going to be so happy to see his reaction he deserves it I love him so much. That story almost made me cry lol

After so many stories of cheating/lying/backstabbing spouses, toxic families and crazy entitled Karens it so uplifting to hear rSlash covering wholesome sugary sweet stories like the last one!
I have to admit I was a little confused at first. The OP stated they were gonna make their bf cry, but then talked about how great of a person/partner they were. So I kinda kept waiting for a bomb to drop. I'm glad it turned out to be such a wholesome story. We honestly need more like this one on here. The OP sounds like an amazing person and their partner sounds like a lucky dude. They sound perfect for each other. I will say I kinds thought the bf was gonna propose after receiving that gift, but the necklace was still an amazing gift. Also, I'm not crying 😢 you're crying 🥺. 😊 we need more stories like this.
That last story melted my heart. Always love to see it when someone supports and actively encourages their s/o’s hobbies. Wishing them all the good things in life.
As soon as they mentioned ripping up floor and 70’s tile in story two, I was nearly screaming my head off the entire time. Unexpected perk (?) of having an over-chatty contractor for a dad.
Something to keep in mind if you do come across asbestos is to keep it damp until someone can professionally clean it up, that way the particles can't become airborne.
Yeah, I saw it coming, too. I used to work for a company that cleaned up asbestos contamination. I worked in the office and never went near any of the sites, but I did see their portable decontamination trailer. It had two doors, clearly marked "Clean" and "Dirty" Everyone was told that using the wrong door - even once - would lead to them being fired so fast it would leave scorch marks.
I do have an old house myself, thankfully no asbestos in it if I can trust the information of my ancestors who build it. But I am still very careful if I do something here. For example I once dug a hole in my garden and hit something, turns out they did throw old building materials out, dug a hole and let it be there (under the grass). Turns out, there were two asbestos plates burried and I dug them up (noticed very early, so I kept them wet until they could be professionally disposed of).
The 2 people in the last story deserve each other in the best possible way. It's nice to come across stories that heart warming once in awhile and I wish them both the best in life
I love love love when a man allows his inner child run free when getting a gift. I am so happy to hear tender moments like that! Getting the perfect gift isn't easy. But I noticed he seems to have joy because it's the who that is more important than the what he got. Edit: omg!!!! He is just as sweet as her! I AM SO HAPPY FOR BOTH OF THEM!
True but most of those who develop lung conditions from it aren't the result of relatively short exposure. They may be incredibly unlucky and have it result in health issues but I don't think they have the same risk as people who've spent years working around asbestos in factories or construction.
@@fdm2155 Was just coming in to say this. Infomercials about asbestos lawsuits are most people's exposure to the topic and they don't tend to emphasize the "this is mostly caused by long term exposure to aerosolized particulars" part. So, people have this idea that even a single exposure is deadly.
@@fdm2155 - Not always, there are cases where one person who got cancer only had one day of exposure and never went back to the job due to a family death. IT wasnt until years later when he contracted cancer and tests were done it was revealed it was such. And no he didnt smoke. So even the smallest exposure can cause health issues later on if the person is unlucky.

Story 1: I'm glad to hear the 28 year old son realizes he was wrong and willing to change. But the 24 year old daughter is unbelievable. How is spending 300,000 pounds on traveling considered "justified"? Even has the gall to call OP names and emotionally abusive. She is just a spoiled brat and is bad with money, and she's angry that OP wouldn't give her more through his will. She is definitely going to grow up and be a Karen imo. I'd say keep the money for yourself and use it for travelling, it's better than letting her blow all the money immediately.
@@EskimoKillaz that's not a law in the UK. in fact giving her just £1 would get the will contested easier. in the UK there's rules against being "capricious", i.e. if you try to desing a will in a way that looks like you're purposfully trying to annoy people, the will can be classes as capricious and nullified outright OP can either write her out of the will completely or set up a trust like he originally planned
Yeah, especially because with good budgeting so much more is possible. My best friend and I went to Sweden for 5 days in summer and it cost us a combined 600€, including the flight and hotel.
Story 1: Honestly, respect to the son for being so willing to turn his life around. Sounds like OP's initial decision to cut him out of the will was just the wake up call he needed, so I hope he succeeds and gets better. The daughter sounds like there's no hope left for her but hey, you'll never know I guess... Story 3: I'm gonna tear up, these two are just adorable. They sound like relationship goals.
Yeah, I’m happy the son is turning over a new leaf. The daughter is a lost cause. She’s mad she will have to get a job or become homeless. Not that I hope she becomes homeless or wish homelessness upon her, but she can forget about OP being there to help her if and when that happens.
Lol lost hope because she is actually enjoying her life in a healthy and wonderful life and doesn't bend over and tolerate her father's assholish behavior ?
Dammit was anyone else hoping that the gift the bf “forgot” to put under the tree was an engagement ring? I mean, a diamond necklace is super nice, but that would’ve been the perfect moment to propose. 😂 Also RSlash, could you include more stories about healthy, functional relationships like that of the Lego couple more often? Like maybe one of those “How did you know you found the one?” or “What do you do for your spouse to show you love them?” threads? I know the stories with happy endings will be more difficult to record cuz you probably won’t be able to stop crying lol (no shame, you’re in good company), but it is really nice to get a break from all the failed marriages, infidelity discoveries, and realizations of emotional abuse once in a while.
In the story about the legos; at least she chose to take him away from the family to gift him that. A few years back my own boyfriend surprised me with the new xbox, one that I could never find in stores. I broke down crying in front of his entire family. So embarrassing. This story is super cute.
The 2nd story is terrifying! I really really hope due to grandpa's actions the kids had minimal exposure but the contractor's remarks about the air levels 😨 that's one of those absent minded life altering decisions that always starts with good intentions. Story 3- finally 🙌 wholesomeness
That last story. It was so wholesome, and I nearly teared up while you were reading it. OP and her boyfriend are perfect for each other, and I wish them only the best
OMG that video was a roller coaster of emotions! For the first story I was so happy to hear the son had a (hopefully) genuine change of heart, but the daughter is a total train wreck! If you don't want to support her I would at least set up a trust for any kids she might have if you so choose. It's not fair to punish the kids for the sins of the parents. That second story broke my heart! Asbestos is such a hard thing to deal with and I could just feel the guilt coming from OP in their words. OP I really hope that everything turns out alright and that a hit to the wallet is the only thing you have to deal with. As for the last story OMG THE FEELS!!! OP you and your hubby sound like an amazing couple and I wish you both a great future together. Also as rSlash said be careful of the Lego trap lol :)
Story 2: OMG! That is my father and my nightmare. My house was built in the very early 1980's and very much not to code, even for then. We have renovated most of the house, but every single time we tear something down (or in the case of building my daughter's loft bed, which is only 30" from the ceiling) we test-test-test the old material for asbestos and lead. I cannot begin to imagine the horror of knowing you inadvertently exposed people you love to that level of risk.
I spent $1,500 last year on legos. It was the first time EVER in my life, where I was in the position to buy myself things. (Bills come first !) It absolutely is an addiction
I've done that a few times myself. It's so addicting. I've spent thousands and thousands on LEGO sets, enough that I should be ashamed but I'm not lol.
My brother’s gf got me a lego set for Christmas (Sonic) and I made the mistake to go to the Lego stores website. Saw they had a Tallneck from Horizon: FW and now I have 2….for now 😂
@@DSoSJohnH Think of it as being like therapy! My method for determining purchases is thinking about if I'd be more happy to get the item as a gift, or just the cost of the item. If I'd be happier with the item, I get it.
I’m glad op got his family out of the house and that him and his family is safe. A lot of south Florida homes are old and has espestose and doing any DIY on your house is not a good idea because of stuff like this
Sucks that they wanted to save by doing a DIY only to spend ten times more (counting items needed to be replaced) over an honest mistake. However as soon as he said 1970s I had a very strong feeling asbestos was going to be involved
I'm in an old house in the northeast and we've definitely decided to leave floors in tact and lay new flooring over top for this reason. We were advised that if asbestos was in any old flooring material, we were better off not disturbing it.
Story 1 : the 2 "kids" who burnt through their life savings obviously are adults with mind of children.. it seems like the son though has a serious addiction that op has to get him help for.. The daughter though is a spoiled jerk... Update : interesting the son took responsibility for his actions and agreed to get help and hopefully it's a learning experience and he grows from it while op daughter once rotten always rotten op just needs to cut her off for good.. Story 3 : op is an awesome person who didn't judge and just wanted to suprise their boyfriend.. kudos op.. Update : Op: " heres your suprise." Op boyfriend:" no here's your surprise " This op is a faaaar better person then the op from yesterday video the last story..
Son was probably grieving bc his mom died. He just dealt with his grief by doing what anyone who suddenly has depression and a lot of money would do, drugs and girls.
that last story was so wholesome. they seem like a adorable couple, and its just awesome to see people this loving for eachother. i wish you two a great relationship
Story 1: first off, serious props to the son for working to turn his life around. At first, I was worried he was just trying to recover the relationship just for the money, but now I feel he is being genuine. Second, remember that if you want to cut someone out of a will, leave them 1 dollar. Otherwise, they might argue that they are forgotten.
That first story just makes me think of the clip from SpongeBob with Patrick and the chocolate bar. “I think I’ll eat it now!” *eats chocolate bar* 5 seconds later: “I think I’ll eat it now!” *Bites own hand and turns to SpongeBob* “Hey, you took my chocolate!”
Dear god...the last story...it's so sweet and wholesome...I was not prepared for this post to restore a lil bit of my faith in humanity and relationships 😫
I was mentally prepared for some sort of betrayal + revenge story. Not gonna lie, OP had me in the first half. Then the expected plot twisted hard and I just can't contain my happiness.
I love how quickly adults are becoming addicted to lego. I got my first set almost a year ago after my therapist suggested it and now all I wish for christmas and birthdays are lego
Everyone should have Legos, even though they're technically a cursed object. Legos need to be quarantined and cared for like pets and loved during their time, but never allowed to stray from the den 😂
i still don't understand the appeal of the specific sets (e.g. the cantina set from the story). i love building stuff out of legos, but my favourite part is that it can be anything. building something, then taking it apart, then making something different is really fun, but i just don't get the people who only build the thing on the picture then just... leave it on the shelf and never take it apart again
I used to love getting Lego for my nephews years ago. My sister would send me photos of the boys playing with what I had sent. It wasn't difficult to figure out what to send them for Christmas, so that's a plus. Now that they're in their 30's it's really difficult to know what to get them. This year I got them an electric frying pan, an Instant Pot, several bags of coffee whitener and some pre-rolls from the cannabis shop. An eclectic selection to be sure, but they were pleased.
The first story is sad. My mother has amassed a significant amount of wealth and both me and my brother are in the will. My brother, for a multitude of reasons, is terrible with money and absolutely could not be trusted with a large inheritance. Yet for all that, he is still my brother and he is still her son, so she didn't cut him out of her will. Instead, she amended her will so that his inheritance will be placed in a trust and he'll be given an allowance. I think that's a much better way to go about it. Doing that in the first place as others have suggested would have saved a lot of heartbreak.
Story 3: I've been spending the money I saved up over the pandemic due to not being able to travel on Gundam kit. I finally decided to spend big after combining it with Chinese New Year and the tax refund from my job to get myself a very shiny LED Phenex to build.
Story 1: You give someone an amount of money in the 5 or more digits and chances are that the recipient has no money management and will burn through it all. Some people just never grow up and live like money is infinite. The daughter hasn't learned it seems, I wouldn't be surprised if she wound up burning through the trust as well
UK trust laws aren't really the same as the US. if the trust is set up for her to get a house and education she literally won't be able to take any money out of it unless it's for those specific purposes (as long as OP does the proper leg work and talks with the lawyers to set it up properly)
I don't know. You don't need to be Warren Buffet to realize it's a bad idea to take your inheritance of spend it on high end travel in two years. I agree most people will likely make some questionable purchases if they suddenly have $375K in their account especially if they are young. But blowing through all of it despite a parent advising against it is clearly a purposeful choice. And from this story the daughter would clearly do something similar if the dad leaves her money.
@@fdm2155 and since she won’t have anymore parents nor inheritance to hope for, she will likely bug her siblings to share. That is unless she gets her act together and she is like the CBs from other stories
Regarding the 2nd story, I just want to add that while asbestos was banned in 1977, builders were using up what they had left so it might be possible that if your home was made in the early 80’s might be at risk and you need to test it before you do something like this. Tbh I would test any home made before the 90’s.
0:47 rip to mother who died but she was extremely irresponsible to not leave the money in a Trust with an honest and dependable trustee. This is exactly why you don’t give kids huge amounts of money with no guardrails. She didn’t think this through. Sigh.
That LEGO story is so sweet. Nice to see a happy story after some more sad ones. Also, best gift you can give somebody (at least me) would be LEGOS. I am not as a fan as OP boyfriend, but I sure as hell would have fun.
Story 2: how the hell does this happen? My whole life, I've been told to be careful of asbestos more than I've been told not to run with scissors. Were other people not? If your home was built before 1990, don't rip up anything.
I actually have tears in my eyes for the last story. That was the best story I've heard you read in a long time. There's nothing like a partner that understands you and also spends hobby time with you!
Story 3: All this reminds me of is that Catdog episode called "Brother's Day" where both Cat and Dog secretly sold off prized possessions to get each other a nice gift for Brother's Day. OP, put a ring on him like yesterday. He's the one.
Y'know, I've come to a conclusion. The reason why we like stories from r/Prorevenge, r/Maliciouscompliance and r/Bestof is probably because (usually) it gives us closure. The story doesn't just end abruptly, but has a proper conclusion (although not always). Which makes these the most enjoyable to read through.
Yeah, it's why I don't care for /r/choosingbeggars videos lol. It just shows you the worst of humanity with nothing really coming from it. I need me that sweet karma to make it worthwhile, or *at least* some kind of smacktalk to close it out, otherwise, man, people like that don't deserve even *tangential* time in my brain lol
Oh my god that last story! So sweet! I was kind of hoping for an engagement ring when the word "diamond" came up, but this is cavity inducingly sweet that you got lego sets to build together.
Story 2. We have an older home and the home inspector is pretty sure our flooring has asbestos. We DIYed in out last house because it was much newer, but we not going to do floor stuff ourselves in this place. We bought the place from the original owner, the husband passed away but the wife is well into her 90’s and just moved into a care facility, cause, you know, she’s in her 90’s.
1st story: While you aren't wrong that the kids can spend the money how they want... you forgot that their mother wanted them to spend said money on education and mortgages etc. Those two went directly against the wishes of their mother, which is why the father is reacting so strongly, and understandably so. When they got the money, it's their choice how to use it, yes, but it's also their responsibility to deal with the consequences of not using it according to the wishes of their mother, in this case, alienating their father. While you get to that at the end, it seems like you forgot why the father was so against it in the first place in the judgement
Dude this is Europe not the USA. Despite being from Britain which is far from ideal the daughter the daughter has an enormous amount of option for affordable or outright free education and she obviously has her own place although the father would have without a doubt gone on about how she lives his under his roof
I CAME HERE TO HEAR DRAMA NOT WHOLESOME LOVEY DOVEY MOMENTS I'm not actually complaining tho. I'm just weeping over how wholesome and sweet their relationship is.
My husband got me a small penguin lego set for Christmas as part of a running joke, and it was so much fun to build. He sits on the side of my desk right next to my husband's desk, and we both have fun moving his little flappy wings into different positions. 10/10 would recommend lego kits as a gift for significant others that like to build/make things
Lego was a massive part of my childhood. I have no room in my apartment for my childhood sets, but when I moved into my rented flat, I bought an Apollo 11 set, and when I bought my own flat, i bought the ISS. Lego is such a good (but god damn so expensive) creative hobby.
Oh my god, the last story made me squeal. I hear the wedding bells already. God that was such a cute story. RSlash, we squealed at the same moment and that makes me double happy, I heard you smiling through the rest of the story. I didn't expect it to be such a wholesome story, especially after the orrible asbestos story. What an amazing piece to end an amazing video.
The LEGO story hit hard for me. Right now, about 5 feet away from me, is the LEGO Titanic set I spent all of last year building. My mother ordered it online in 2021 while my dad was in the hospital with COVID, because LEGO was part of his physical and mental therapy after a bad car crash a few years prior. He was also autistic and formed a special interest in the Titanic from elementary school. It was the first time that she got to surprise him with a birthday present in 19 years. The set arrived on December 10th... The day after my father passed away. LEGO sets became a huge part of our family bonding over the past few years and it really hurt to put that set together. I kept thinking about how happy my father would have been to be doing it and how I'd much rather be putting together the Pride set he'd gotten me for Christmas. Not because I don't like the Titanic, but because I felt like he should have done it. I'm so glad OP got him that set.
The last story turned out to be so WHOLESOME! When I saw the first line, I thought OP was a psychopath or a sociopath or something, but as I read on, I was pleasantly surprised, AND THEY BOTH BUILT THEIR SETS TOGETHER !!!! This story was too cute.
That last story is so cute. Most of what rSlash reads is so depressing and features so many bad relationships (familial, platonic, romantic, etc) that whenever a good, wholesome one pops up it just makes my heart so happy!
I was like, MAH HEART!!!😭😭😭❤️❤️❤️
when I heard, "I think my boyfriend will cry" I was like why and it can't be good but it was so fucking cute and wholesome
same 😭
When she mentioned Lego I was immediately excited and happy
Yes! For a second i thought “oh turns out he was cheating” or something 😭 but the story was so heartwarming
The flooring story ripped out my heart. Asbestos cancer, Mesothelioma, took my dad and sister's lives. It's nothing to mess with. You and your family and anyone else you exposed because of this will need to be closely monitored for the rest of their lives. Prayers
I'm so sorry for loss of your loved ones
@@dshoultzfox Thank you.
@@janetvargas9520 I am truly sorry for your loss.
That's a problem for older houses right? Like before people actually learned that stuff is dangerous?
Lost my FIL the same way.
I hope the son in the first story is doing well. A part of me believes that he was grieving HARD over his mother's death, and he coped horribly.
Yeah honestly thats about right
That's what I was thinking too, he probably already knew he wasted the money and was probably already agonizing over it, and OP bringing it up made him get defensive.
I really hope he's doing well, recovering from addiction after grief is hard.
Whatever was going on with him, he seems to have realized his behavior was disrespectful to his mother AND incredibly wasteful. That's certainly better than the spoiled daughter who probably had never worked a day in her life and is now assuming daddy will leave her ANOTHER fortune to squander as she sees fit.

As soon as they mentioned ripping up floor and 70’s tile in story two, I was nearly screaming my head off the entire time. Unexpected perk (?) of having an over-chatty contractor for a dad.
I audibly gasped when OP said it looked like paper. Because frikkin asbestos layer does indeed look like pressed paper.
Something to keep in mind if you do come across asbestos is to keep it damp until someone can professionally clean it up, that way the particles can't become airborne.

Yeah he minute I heard 1970's vinyl my heart dropped. It's so scary and interesting how a paper like surface is actually a mined rock.
I do have an old house myself, thankfully no asbestos in it if I can trust the information of my ancestors who build it. But I am still very careful if I do something here.
For example I once dug a hole in my garden and hit something, turns out they did throw old building materials out, dug a hole and let it be there (under the grass).

Story 2: Asbestos can result in lung conditions such as mesothelioma, asbestosis, and cancer.
Those kids would be lucky if they weren't harmed

@@fdm2155This. Since they caught it early, they’re probably fine. It’s long term exposure that’s the real problem.

Sounds like OP's initial decision to cut him out of the will was just the wake up call he needed, so I hope he succeeds and gets better. The daughter sounds like there's no hope left for her but hey, you'll never know I guess...
Story 3: I'm gonna tear up, these two are just adorable. They sound like relationship goals.
Yeah, I’m happy the son is turning over a new leaf. The daughter is a lost cause. She’s mad she will have to get a job or become homeless. Not that I hope she becomes homeless or wish homelessness upon her, but she can forget about OP being there to help her if and when that happens.
Lol lost hope because she is actually enjoying her life in a healthy and wonderful life and doesn't bend over and tolerate her father's assholish behavior ?
Dammit was anyone else hoping that the gift the bf “forgot” to put under the tree was an engagement ring? I mean, a diamond necklace is super nice, but that would’ve been the perfect moment to propose. 😂
Also RSlash, could you include more stories about healthy, functional relationships like that of the Lego couple more often? Like maybe one of those “How did you know you found the one?” or “What do you do for your spouse to show you love them?” threads? I know the stories with happy endings will be more difficult to record cuz you probably won’t be able to stop crying lol (no shame, you’re in good company), but it is really nice to get a break from all the failed marriages, infidelity discoveries, and realizations of emotional abuse once in a while.
'Tiny box' HOLY CRAP ITS PROPOSAL TIM- Oh, I mean a necklace is great too
I was kinda glad it wasn't that, just to show that you can have random romantic moments, even without proposing at that point ^^
I mean, who wouldnt have thought it wasnt?
In the story about the legos; at least she chose to take him away from the family to gift him that. A few years back my own boyfriend surprised me with the new xbox, one that I could never find in stores. I broke down crying in front of his entire family. So embarrassing.
This story is super cute.
I loved the last story. I love when he reads the wholesome ones because they are so freaking cute
The 2nd story is terrifying! I really really hope due to grandpa's actions the kids had minimal exposure but the contractor's remarks about the air levels 😨 that's one of those absent minded life altering decisions that always starts with good intentions.
Story 3- finally 🙌 wholesomeness
That last story. It was so wholesome, and I nearly teared up while you were reading it. OP and her boyfriend are perfect for each other, and I wish them only the best

Nearly? I am a grown-up man and I did!
I absolutely adore Story 3, I haven't heard a story that wholesome in a LONG time.
It was a bit ruined for me since it followed the story of the well-meaning father likely giving his entire family, including kids cancer
OMG that video was a roller coaster of emotions! For the first story I was so happy to hear the son had a (hopefully) genuine change of heart, but the daughter is a total train wreck! If you don't want to support her I would at least set up a trust for any kids she might have if you so choose. It's not fair to punish the kids for the sins of the parents. That second story broke my heart! Asbestos is such a hard thing to deal with and I could just feel the guilt coming from OP in their words. OP I really hope that everything turns out alright and that a hit to the wallet is the only thing you have to deal with. As for the last story OMG THE FEELS!!! OP you and your hubby sound like an amazing couple and I wish you both a great future together. Also as rSlash said be careful of the Lego trap lol :)
Whatever did we say before Feeels?
I'd use Vaclempt...not sure how to spell it..learned it on SNL LOL.
Story 2: OMG! That is my father and my nightmare. My house was built in the very early 1980's and very much not to code, even for then. We have renovated most of the house, but every single time we tear something down (or in the case of building my daughter's loft bed, which is only 30" from the ceiling) we test-test-test the old material for asbestos and lead. I cannot begin to imagine the horror of knowing you inadvertently exposed people you love to that level of risk.
I’m glad that last story was included. Not too often you hear stories so positive it hits you right in the feels, in a very good way
I spent $1,500 last year on legos. It was the first time EVER in my life, where I was in the position to buy myself things. (Bills come first !) It absolutely is an addiction
I can now buy Beef! IAM so very happy for the little things..
It's fun to have breathing room. XooX
I've done that a few times myself. It's so addicting. I've spent thousands and thousands on LEGO sets, enough that I should be ashamed but I'm not lol.
My brother’s gf got me a lego set for Christmas (Sonic) and I made the mistake to go to the Lego stores website. Saw they had a Tallneck from Horizon: FW and now I have 2….for now 😂
@@DSoSJohnH Think of it as being like therapy! My method for determining purchases is thinking about if I'd be more happy to get the item as a gift, or just the cost of the item. If I'd be happier with the item, I get it.
At least it wasn't NFTs.
God damn- as someone who loves to diy home projects, I was in physical pain reading this and my heart goes out to his family.
I’m glad op got his family out of the house and that him and his family is safe. A lot of south Florida homes are old and has espestose and doing any DIY on your house is not a good idea because of stuff like this
*asbestos
Sucks that they wanted to save by doing a DIY only to spend ten times more (counting items needed to be replaced) over an honest mistake. However as soon as he said 1970s I had a very strong feeling asbestos was going to be involved
I'm in an old house in the northeast and we've definitely decided to leave floors in tact and lay new flooring over top for this reason. We were advised that if asbestos was in any old flooring material, we were better off not disturbing it.
@Crickets I think it is mandatory and conducted by building inspectors. However no clue how long OP had the house.
Unfortunately it takes a long time for symptoms to show (like 10 - 40 years or longer) so they don't know that they're safe...
The last story was so wholesome I was kicking my feet in excitement for them
Hello fellow feet kicker :D
@@Dreamy1408 hello!
Story 1 : the 2 "kids" who burnt through their life savings obviously are adults with mind of children.. it seems like the son though has a serious addiction that op has to get him help for.. The daughter though is a spoiled jerk...
Update : interesting the son took responsibility for his actions and agreed to get help and hopefully it's a learning experience and he grows from it while op daughter once rotten always rotten op just needs to cut her off for good..
Story 3 : op is an awesome person who didn't judge and just wanted to suprise their boyfriend.. kudos op..
Update :
Op: " heres your suprise."
Op boyfriend:" no here's your surprise "
This op is a faaaar better person then the op from yesterday video the last story..
yeah good on the son for realizing his errors and working to correct them
@@chriscarpenter3370 hope he learns and gets better and better..The daughter though jeezLouise she's a lost cause..
hopefully we see a future update of the son being happy and healthy via having gotten the help he needs
@@thegameplayer125 yup..hopefully
Son was probably grieving bc his mom died. He just dealt with his grief by doing what anyone who suddenly has depression and a lot of money would do, drugs and girls.
that last story was so wholesome. they seem like a adorable couple, and its just awesome to see people this loving for eachother. i wish you two a great relationship

That last story is the best example of relationship goals
Kazuzu
Story 1: first off, serious props to the son for working to turn his life around. At first, I was worried he was just trying to recover the relationship just for the money, but now I feel he is being genuine.
Second, remember that if you want to cut someone out of a will, leave them 1 dollar. Otherwise, they might argue that they are forgotten.
That first story just makes me think of the clip from SpongeBob with Patrick and the chocolate bar.
“I think I’ll eat it now!” *eats chocolate bar*
5 seconds later:
“I think I’ll eat it now!” *Bites own hand and turns to SpongeBob*
“Hey, you took my chocolate!”
Omg that last story!!! These two deserve each other! I wish them the a lifetime of love and happiness together. ❤❤❤
"PASSIONATE HUGGING" IS BACK BOIS
That last story was so sweet! Those two deserve each other, and I love it when couples know each other very well.
Dear god...the last story...it's so sweet and wholesome...I was not prepared for this post to restore a lil bit of my faith in humanity and relationships 😫
I was not mentally prepared for the last story to be so sweet and wholesome from start to finish 🥰
I was mentally prepared for some sort of betrayal + revenge story. Not gonna lie, OP had me in the first half. Then the expected plot twisted hard and I just can't contain my happiness.
I love how quickly adults are becoming addicted to lego. I got my first set almost a year ago after my therapist suggested it and now all I wish for christmas and birthdays are lego
Everyone should have Legos, even though they're technically a cursed object. Legos need to be quarantined and cared for like pets and loved during their time, but never allowed to stray from the den 😂
i still don't understand the appeal of the specific sets (e.g. the cantina set from the story). i love building stuff out of legos, but my favourite part is that it can be anything. building something, then taking it apart, then making something different is really fun, but i just don't get the people who only build the thing on the picture then just... leave it on the shelf and never take it apart again
@zilesis1 I'm not overly creative, but I love the sets because I can focus on that and let go off of the stress of the day.
I used to love getting Lego for my nephews years ago. My sister would send me photos of the boys playing with what I had sent. It wasn't difficult to figure out what to send them for Christmas, so that's a plus. Now that they're in their 30's it's really difficult to know what to get them. This year I got them an electric frying pan, an Instant Pot, several bags of coffee whitener and some pre-rolls from the cannabis shop. An eclectic selection to be sure, but they were pleased.
@@Masenken you got a cursed one ?
*hello SCP foundation ?*
Honestly, that last story made me prepare for the worst. I'm glad it turned out so wholesome.
The Lego story is really beautiful and amazing, that’s true love right there. OP and her bf are perfect for each other!
Last story: FINALLY! A heartwarming, wholesome, and worth-for-tearing-up story.
The first story is sad. My mother has amassed a significant amount of wealth and both me and my brother are in the will. My brother, for a multitude of reasons, is terrible with money and absolutely could not be trusted with a large inheritance. Yet for all that, he is still my brother and he is still her son, so she didn't cut him out of her will. Instead, she amended her will so that his inheritance will be placed in a trust and he'll be given an allowance. I think that's a much better way to go about it. Doing that in the first place as others have suggested would have saved a lot of heartbreak.
16:45 I think as a joke gift next year OP's husband should give her a Bowser action figure that plays random Jack Black qoats, I'd find that funny
that is amazing and hilarious
Story 3: I've been spending the money I saved up over the pandemic due to not being able to travel on Gundam kit. I finally decided to spend big after combining it with Chinese New Year and the tax refund from my job to get myself a very shiny LED Phenex to build.
Places can close down. Mech models? Mech models will never leave.
Gundam > Travel.
Have Fun
The last story is just so heartwarming and feel-good. I loved it! This is couples goals.
Story 1: You give someone an amount of money in the 5 or more digits and chances are that the recipient has no money management and will burn through it all. Some people just never grow up and live like money is infinite.
The daughter hasn't learned it seems, I wouldn't be surprised if she wound up burning through the trust as well
Well I doubt she will even get a trust since I have a feeling that OP will follow through and spend her inheritance for travel and luxury.
UK trust laws aren't really the same as the US. if the trust is set up for her to get a house and education she literally won't be able to take any money out of it unless it's for those specific purposes (as long as OP does the proper leg work and talks with the lawyers to set it up properly)
I don't know. You don't need to be Warren Buffet to realize it's a bad idea to take your inheritance of spend it on high end travel in two years. I agree most people will likely make some questionable purchases if they suddenly have $375K in their account especially if they are young. But blowing through all of it despite a parent advising against it is clearly a purposeful choice. And from this story the daughter would clearly do something similar if the dad leaves her money.
@@fdm2155 and since she won’t have anymore parents nor inheritance to hope for, she will likely bug her siblings to share. That is unless she gets her act together and she is like the CBs from other stories
@@lorilancaster5917 You're right. She apparently thinks the world owes her a life of luxury!
Regarding the 2nd story, I just want to add that while asbestos was banned in 1977, builders were using up what they had left so it might be possible that if your home was made in the early 80’s might be at risk and you need to test it before you do something like this. Tbh I would test any home made before the 90’s.
Aww, that last story was so sweet. Like oh my gosh I hope those two have a long healthy relationship.
That last story was the most tear-jerking wholesome lovable story you have ever posted.. thanks for the happy tears...
Last story almost brought tears to my eyes 🥹
That last story was one of the cutest stories I've ever heard in my entire life! That couple sounds like they are so sweet together❣️
That last story reminds me of my first relationship. Sadly my partner passed away. But it was nice to hear someone else has what I've lost.
I'm so sorry about your loss.
0:47 rip to mother who died but she was extremely irresponsible to not leave the money in a Trust with an honest and dependable trustee. This is exactly why you don’t give kids huge amounts of money with no guardrails. She didn’t think this through. Sigh.
Hope the sim saved enough money for std testing.
That LEGO story is so sweet. Nice to see a happy story after some more sad ones.
Also, best gift you can give somebody (at least me) would be LEGOS. I am not as a fan as OP boyfriend, but I sure as hell would have fun.
Story 2: how the hell does this happen? My whole life, I've been told to be careful of asbestos more than I've been told not to run with scissors. Were other people not?
If your home was built before 1990, don't rip up anything.
They didn’t know until they knew. I wonder often what common substance today will be found to be dreadful for you in the future.
There's nothing like that feeling when someone opens a gift you know they are going love
The last story was so aggresively wholesome, bless
That last story is so wholesome but at the beggining i thought op was about to do the most Evil thing in the world
Yeah same here.
14:53 that guys inner child just came out
Bestof is the best subreddit
badum tsssssssss
Its good because you can see the end of the story
TYE LAS STORY IS SO SWEET IM CRYING. THESE ARE THE RELATIONSHIPS GOALS PEOPLE SHOULD STRIVE FOR😭💖
I hope that everyone is having a good Wednesday!
I always love seeing your comments everyday! Hope you have a good day! 😊
@@Randombookwoorm, thank you! I hope you're having a nice time
It is Wednesday my dudes:>
Just got off my brand new night shift. My day technically just ended.
I have to study for an exam.. So not really🥲🥲
I actually have tears in my eyes for the last story. That was the best story I've heard you read in a long time.
There's nothing like a partner that understands you and also spends hobby time with you!
Story 3: All this reminds me of is that Catdog episode called "Brother's Day" where both Cat and Dog secretly sold off prized possessions to get each other a nice gift for Brother's Day. OP, put a ring on him like yesterday. He's the one.
Y'know, I've come to a conclusion. The reason why we like stories from r/Prorevenge, r/Maliciouscompliance and r/Bestof is probably because (usually) it gives us closure. The story doesn't just end abruptly, but has a proper conclusion (although not always). Which makes these the most enjoyable to read through.
Yeah, it's why I don't care for /r/choosingbeggars videos lol. It just shows you the worst of humanity with nothing really coming from it. I need me that sweet karma to make it worthwhile, or *at least* some kind of smacktalk to close it out, otherwise, man, people like that don't deserve even *tangential* time in my brain lol
Story 3: She is a keeper!
And so is he!
Oh my god that last story! So sweet! I was kind of hoping for an engagement ring when the word "diamond" came up, but this is cavity inducingly sweet that you got lego sets to build together.
I always love hearing rSlash tell heartwarming stories like the last one. It's a get break from all the entitlement and morons.
That "Legos and love" story is just so adorable. I love these cute young love stories.
Story 3: this made even me tear up a little bit, Thats soo sweet
Ah that last story!! I love it, there needs to be more wholesome stuff in the world as pure and joyous as that story
Aaand that's when you know to never give your kid any money
Correction: never give your kids money if they don’t know how to handle it
@@lonewolf9578 That's what they said, "that's when you know," not just *never* give any kids any money.
@@lonewolf9578 fair, fair
I was not ready for that last story while doing dishes! I was doing little happy dances. That was adorable!!!
I want a relationship like the last couple
Story 2. We have an older home and the home inspector is pretty sure our flooring has asbestos. We DIYed in out last house because it was much newer, but we not going to do floor stuff ourselves in this place.
We bought the place from the original owner, the husband passed away but the wife is well into her 90’s and just moved into a care facility, cause, you know, she’s in her 90’s.
It’s safe if you install a floating floor or carpet and just don’t try to remove anything. Especially not with a GRINDER oh my god.
1st story: While you aren't wrong that the kids can spend the money how they want... you forgot that their mother wanted them to spend said money on education and mortgages etc. Those two went directly against the wishes of their mother, which is why the father is reacting so strongly, and understandably so. When they got the money, it's their choice how to use it, yes, but it's also their responsibility to deal with the consequences of not using it according to the wishes of their mother, in this case, alienating their father. While you get to that at the end, it seems like you forgot why the father was so against it in the first place in the judgement
Dude this is Europe not the USA. Despite being from Britain which is far from ideal the daughter the daughter has an enormous amount of option for affordable or outright free education and she obviously has her own place although the father would have without a doubt gone on about how she lives his under his roof
I CAME HERE TO HEAR DRAMA NOT WHOLESOME LOVEY DOVEY MOMENTS
I'm not actually complaining tho. I'm just weeping over how wholesome and sweet their relationship is.
How often do l make jokes about chemistry? Periodically.
My husband got me a small penguin lego set for Christmas as part of a running joke, and it was so much fun to build. He sits on the side of my desk right next to my husband's desk, and we both have fun moving his little flappy wings into different positions. 10/10 would recommend lego kits as a gift for significant others that like to build/make things
OOOOHHH THIS TITLE GAVE ME CHEST PAINS. Never clicked so fast before in my life
The last story is beautiful, because it looks like they are financially respectful of each other.

15:44 agree 😭
OMG I'm in tears! That last story is literally the sweetest story I've heard in ages! Loudly 😢
Weird, I didn't get a notification for this video and it didn't show up in my subscriptions. Good thing I checked 🙄
TH-cam sucks...
That last story is insanely adorable! Aww, what a high note to end the video on! 🥰
the third story is the best story on this channel so far
My eyes go wide while listening to the second story, I'm happy OPs dad warned him but in so scared for those kiddos
Lego was a massive part of my childhood. I have no room in my apartment for my childhood sets, but when I moved into my rented flat, I bought an Apollo 11 set, and when I bought my own flat, i bought the ISS. Lego is such a good (but god damn so expensive) creative hobby.
Oh my god, the last story made me squeal. I hear the wedding bells already. God that was such a cute story. RSlash, we squealed at the same moment and that makes me double happy, I heard you smiling through the rest of the story. I didn't expect it to be such a wholesome story, especially after the orrible asbestos story. What an amazing piece to end an amazing video.
I petition that Rslash reads a wholesome story at the end of each video!
Thank you for including the last story. It's nice to hear about good things and loving relationships once in a while!
Thank you for ending the video with a wholesome story, it really helped balance out the negativity.
The LEGO story hit hard for me. Right now, about 5 feet away from me, is the LEGO Titanic set I spent all of last year building. My mother ordered it online in 2021 while my dad was in the hospital with COVID, because LEGO was part of his physical and mental therapy after a bad car crash a few years prior. He was also autistic and formed a special interest in the Titanic from elementary school. It was the first time that she got to surprise him with a birthday present in 19 years. The set arrived on December 10th... The day after my father passed away.
LEGO sets became a huge part of our family bonding over the past few years and it really hurt to put that set together. I kept thinking about how happy my father would have been to be doing it and how I'd much rather be putting together the Pride set he'd gotten me for Christmas. Not because I don't like the Titanic, but because I felt like he should have done it.
I'm so glad OP got him that set.
The last story was so wholesome and adorable! I cried! Beautiful!
I love story 3! It’s so wholesome! So cute!
OMG that last story!! So freakin cute and wholesome!! I hope they get married, it sounds like they deserve each other!
The last story turned out to be so WHOLESOME! When I saw the first line, I thought OP was a psychopath or a sociopath or something, but as I read on, I was pleasantly surprised, AND THEY BOTH BUILT THEIR SETS TOGETHER !!!! This story was too cute.
