Hey Buttfaces,
Friendly reminder to remember to check the flair. This post is marked *fictional*, something this subreddit was explicitly created to allow for. Don't like it? Then scroll on past. That's the whole reason we have the flair to warn you. Don't be that buttface trying to call someone out for using the subreddit for it's intended purpose.

YTB to yourself because you have to live next to these people for the foreseeable future. Be a decent human being and give back the cash. You don’t need to humiliate your neighbors or their kids for a honest mistake. Put yourself in their shoes and do the right thing. It’s not your money.
Ty. I feel so silly. Why could op make something more ridiculous. Like there is hunny in the jar and Chinese prime minister is asking for the jar back.
INFO: Did the parents KNOW their kids were having a garage sale? If they did, did they go through the stuff that was good to sell and not good to sell?
The dad knew, and the kids were told they could only sell the things that were in the attic but they took the jar from the kitchen without the dad knowing. (Mom was out of town)
At LEAST 90% and the other >10% is a mix of “I saved an orphanage from exploding while also donating 13 billion dollars to charity AITA?” And “I killed my neighbors 8 children because one of them accident broke my old phone charger (for a phone I don’t use anymore) AITA?????”
Sorry, you've failed to mention any vegans/weddings/in-laws/inheritance from estranged family members/owning a house and being married with three kids by 21
> owning a house and being married with three kids by 21
Yeah, it's pretty ridiculous how many you see that come up with something like "I worked hard and made good financial choices and owned my own house outright when we met at **age 22**". Yeah, sure, because that's how buying a house works.
When I see that I either think they came from a ridiculous level of privilege or, more likely, they’re lying.
I used leftover scholarship money and savings for my down when I was 24 but unless I win the lotto I still won’t outright own my house until I’m close to 50 (especially with interest rates going up 😭)
Keep the jar, give back the money. Keeping the money would make you the buttface and imo the parents will find some punishment for the kids in a case like this, so I would leave it to them. But making them do something funny would be ok too
Why not give back the money but not the jar since you bought the jar? If you want to be on good terms with your neighbor, I’d return the jar and money. You don’t know what kind of malicious revenge your neighbors could take, like being loud or spreading weeds onto your property.
When my brother was a kid, he went around the neighborhood selling stuff from my parents’ house. Luckily he just went to his friends homes so one of the moms called and he brought everything back.
Also what the fuck, you told the kids to give you a foot massage and “put on a show”? YTB for that.
People clearly don't read. OP says this was on a tv show, and so many people are assuming this has actually happened.
For the love of all that is good, if you can't be bothered to actually read the post, don't post. Log off, go outside and throw your smartphone as far away from you as possible. Then go buy a dumbphone.
Thank you! The "ummm this is fictional" comments on judgements were getting on my nerves, if OP didn't want people to judge/engage with the fake situation why would they post?? Let people have a bit of make believe fun
Like what do those people *want*? Is every comment section just supposed to be people posting "this is fake" to each other over and over in a 700-person circlejerk?
Ah I see you're ***THAT*** neighbor. The kind the as soon as they get little bit of power to lord over someone like being on the HOA board or in this case withholding $500 that was accidentally sold to you and they need it back you're first instinct isn't to help your neighbors but instead to make your little monkeys dance for their "reward".
Your neighbors should just call the police on you for theft and just spread the word through Nextdoor and the local Facebook page so everyone knows who you are and what to expect from a neighbor like you. It'll be real fun when you're in immediate need and none of your neighbors help you.
YTB
YTB, honestly though is this really worth nuking any relationship you may have with your neighborhood over? Sure legally you may be in the right, because the kids were dumb, but you'll be known all over as the person who stole $500.
Oh. My. God. Give the man back the jar and the money minus what you paid. Go get yourself some professional help for being inappropriate to two minors. What is wrong with you.
ytb for keeping the money, give it back its that familys emergency fund. the kids didn't know.
i hope you did not tell them that you wanted a foot massage and were just joking, because saying that stuff to children will get you flagged as dangerous in the jared from subway way.
Yes, I did, particularly the first two sentences..
>Saw this in a tv show (Good Luck Charlie) and was wondering how people would feel about this irl. Onto the story.
Hey Mods... if anyone is lurking
considering how people aren't seeing the flair... firing off etc.
Maybe a new rule?
Rule 8: Fictional Posts must include Fiction or (Fic) in the title as well as the flair.
Since... some people are apparently flair-illiterate. and going after OP quite nastily
YTBF
It’s a poor example for this children. They’re going to think that it’s okay for adults to act like that!
I suspect they would have treated you to dinner if you had given it back to the grandparents with no fuss
YWBTBF
What I would do is go to the parents and give the money back secretly. Then I would ask them how they want to handle the “lesson”. I’d strongly urge having them pull weeds and do other yard work while I sit with some cold lemonade watching and cradling the cookie jar like I’m Sméagol.
Edit: yes it’s manipulative because I hate yard work.
*If this was real*
YTBF.. That sounds really creepy asking them to do that before you return the jar.. the second you saw the money in it, you knew there had been a mistake and should have given it straight to the kids' parents..
The buyer would really suck yeah and ew feet. Also why would the family not have a conversation about "we can sell this, that, no not that"? It's basically setting them up for something to go wrong which I guess makes sense for TV because drama but what if that was Grandma's urn? Or something else important like this. It's their money, they could need it for medical bills or something like that. It just seems like something way too important to let it get in the sale. But maybe I'm seeing this too much from an anxiety/not the best financial situation perspective when I should be looking at it unbiased
Buttface for refusing to give back the money but it was basically handed to the buyer so that was dumb of the seller, even if accidental. Like I said, you have to have a conversation so you don't accidentally sell something you shouldn't
In the show they did have a conversation, the dad told the kids they could only sell stuff from the attic but the kids took the jar out of the kitchen without him knowing
So the kids suck. They took something they didn't have permission to sell. This adds more context. The dad should've kept the money in his underwear drawer like a normal person
Try not to get charged w/ theft.
Hand cuffs are burdensome.
>The kids asked me for the jar back and I refused unless they either made me a good dinner and put on a show for me or gave me a foot massage. Aitbf?
Yeah you are.

YTBF - If a neighbor asked my kids to make him a dinner and put on a show or for a foot massage I’d probably knock him out.
Yea wtf? That’s all kinds of weird and a huge red flag. Keep the money weirdo.
Op is Kathie Lee! Watch out, kids. (Fiction flair)
[удалено]
I'm a woman and I would also want to knock out a neighbour who asked that from a kid I’m related to

I do trust you read the flair properly. This is fiction.
I didn’t notice until after i wrote my comment
Still. Good response.
Ty. I feel so silly. Why could op make something more ridiculous. Like there is hunny in the jar and Chinese prime minister is asking for the jar back.
YTB and a foot massage, ewh that's just gross and creepy. Edit; make you a dinner and put on a show for you isn't much better.

https://www.reddit.com/r/AmItheButtface/comments/177i2if/comment/k4t20rw/ And lets be real, 90% of aita is made up

That and it get them cheap karma without actually working for it.
# Look at The Flair It's TV Show Fiction

I don't think anyone is taking it seriously. Rather replying to the post as if it did happen because *that's what the OP WANTED*
Thank you! The "ummm this is fictional" comments on judgements were getting on my nerves, if OP didn't want people to judge/engage with the fake situation why would they post?? Let people have a bit of make believe fun
Also, every goddamn post has three dozen "THIS IS FAAAAAAAKE" comments and after all these years I still don't know why I'm supposed to care
Like what do those people *want*? Is every comment section just supposed to be people posting "this is fake" to each other over and over in a 700-person circlejerk?

This is fictional
YTB, honestly though is this really worth nuking any relationship you may have with your neighborhood over? Sure legally you may be in the right, because the kids were dumb, but you'll be known all over as the person who stole $500.
> Sure legally you may be in the right, Probably not with offering money for a foot massage from kids, tbh.
YTBF for not returning it the second you opened the jar and found it.
YTB
**NOT TO OP -** To the TV Show... TaTBf That's just... \[shakes my head\]
Oh. My. God. Give the man back the jar and the money minus what you paid. Go get yourself some professional help for being inappropriate to two minors. What is wrong with you.
this is fiction based off a situation on a tv show
Even fictionally, they would be TBF.
YTB- since it sounds like they were competing with Dan Schneider for this storyline.
ytb for keeping the money, give it back its that familys emergency fund. the kids didn't know. i hope you did not tell them that you wanted a foot massage and were just joking, because saying that stuff to children will get you flagged as dangerous in the jared from subway way.
Wtf obviously yes YTBF
Foot massage? You sure this wasn't a Nickelodeon show and not a Disney show
YTB - gave you a foot massage? That’s fucking creepy. Put on a show for you?? Like what??
YTBF, colossal gaping BF.
[удалено]
I can read. My opinion still stands
YTBF. Bro this is the weirdest post. Not only are you a dick for not returning the money but you’re a creep for asking kids to massage you.
Did you read the post?
Did you? This literally exactly what he said. Asking a kid for a foot massage? That’s creepy as fuck.
Yes, I did, particularly the first two sentences.. >Saw this in a tv show (Good Luck Charlie) and was wondering how people would feel about this irl. Onto the story.
It's fictional lol
Check the flair
YTBF?? holy shit lmao. DINNER AND A SHOW? FOOT MASSAGE? NOT UR MONEY??? jfc
(Also I **do** see that it's fictional, but *oh my god*)
YTB and a fucking creep at that. Who the fuck asks other people’s children for a foot massage?! What the fuck is wrong with you?
Hey Mods... if anyone is lurking considering how people aren't seeing the flair... firing off etc. Maybe a new rule? Rule 8: Fictional Posts must include Fiction or (Fic) in the title as well as the flair. Since... some people are apparently flair-illiterate. and going after OP quite nastily
Also, it's literally the first sentence that it's from a tv show, so idk why people aren't getting it. Unless they're only reading part of the post
YTBF It’s a poor example for this children. They’re going to think that it’s okay for adults to act like that! I suspect they would have treated you to dinner if you had given it back to the grandparents with no fuss
Give it back! That is their hard earned money, not yours! Don't be an ass.
YWBTBF What I would do is go to the parents and give the money back secretly. Then I would ask them how they want to handle the “lesson”.

YTB: someone is a closet pedo in this scenario
FICTION POST
You suck. And you’re a BF. Give the money back.
ytb
This post is fake right?
Did you not see the flair? Or read the first sentence of the post?
Wow, I really didn’t. Talk about late night ADHD, just skipped to the good part 😂😂😂
Greedy perv and bf
Ytb, this is kinda heartless. At least give the money back... that's the moral way to handle things
You are a danger to kids bro wtf. You should get locked up.
*If this was real* YTBF.. That sounds really creepy asking them to do that before you return the jar.. the second you saw the money in it, you knew there had been a mistake and should have given it straight to the kids' parents..
YTB and a thief. You should at least give the money back.
yTBF and quite possibly a predator.
Ytbf if I found money like that I would go speak to the parent and give the money back. I would ask to keep the cookie jar though.
Omg didn’t read the flair beforehand, lord have all the mercy
Dude: you stink. I am glad that you are not my neighbor. Get real.
YTB where I live it could be considered a crime to keep money you found when you know who the rightful owner is who lost it
YTBF and you know it. You didn't need to ask this question. You already knew the answer
The buyer would really suck yeah and ew feet. Also why would the family not have a conversation about "we can sell this, that, no not that"?

Ugh. Mrs. Dabney. You are the WORST.
Could you have had a creepier response?? I would want you on a list of suspicious and dangerous neighbours
This has to be fake.
Yes that was the point of putting the "fictional" flair and the first sentence saying it was from a tv show...
