I (17 female) is currently learning how to drive. My parents were very excited for me since I can drive my siblings to school and no longer need to take time off of work. I don’t mind the idea because I do wanna help my parents out and I also don’t want my parents to assist me.
One day as I was learning, my parents promised me to give me a car when I get my driver license. I certainly didn’t care what type of car or if its used. As long as it does its job and ready to go!
During summer break, my parents surprised me and told me that I got a new car and that it came early. I was happy and they shown me. It was my dad’s old car. I didnt care if it was used but what came next is the problem.
My dad (40 male) open the car door and the inside destroyed me! The driver’s seat was ruin and the cotton and METAL was out. There was dirt on the floor and even FOOD. Wrappers, water bottle, gum, jackets, liquid, etc was everywhere! It was fucking disgusting. The cupholder was the worse of all. Rotten and moist coffee stains all over it and the inside. (I showed my boyfriend and he nearly vomited at the sight.) I awkwardly smile at my dad who grab a bucket of cleaning supplies and hand it to me. Telling me to clean it and that it is mine.
EXCUSE ME?! I was pissed. This is my gift? My surprise? I was enraged when I ask him to help me but he said, “I’m tired. I’m going to sleep.” Honestly, im not surprised. He has always been a man child. My mother always cleans up after him but NOT me. Instead, i dropped the bucket and left.
The next day, they asked if i was finished and i told them that i wont be cleaning the car. They were not happy and told me that i am being dramatic. Maybe I am but who in the hell gives someone a dirty gift and expect them to be happy.
As long as it wasnt damaged or dirty, i would have been happy but NO.
So am I the asshole?
