The Internet Is Dunking on a Selfish Sister-in-Law Who Whined About a Free Disney Trip

• A Reddit user posted about how they were planning a trip to Disney World for their family and had ample hotel and airline points to do so

• With enough to spare, they decided to offer to take their in-laws with them, too, using the remaining points to cover the couple's flight and hotel

• But the in-laws got upset that the free trip didn't involve a stay in the fanciest hotel on site

So, it turns out "looking like a jerk for getting absurdly mad about Disney World" isn't limited to governors trying to use performative culture war outrage to look like a big boy and bolster sad presidential campaigns.

One Redditor turned to the r/AITA subreddit (short for "Am I the A**hole") to discuss the circumstances that led their sister-in-law and her husband to start screaming at them. The cause? Offering them a free trip to Disney World.

"I travel a lot for work, so I have so many hotel and airline points it is crazy," Reddit user u/Safe_Ad_6111 began their post. "This summer, I am taking my family to Disney World. We are going to stay at one of the resorts on the property." (Specifically, since this will matter later, since the poster and their family will stay at Disney's Grand Floridian Resort and Spa, one of the finest, fanciest places to stay on property.

But our poster realized they had more than enough points to go around, even after hooking his family up with a stay at the Grand Floridian, so being thoughtful, their thoughts turned to their sister-in-law and kin:

"My sister-in-law and her family had a hard time during the pandemic, so I decided to do something nice and invite them along. My treat. I said I would pay for their flights, hotel, and park tickets."

So, how could this possibly go awry?

Now, this is the kind of in-law outrage where, to be blunt, you wish your spouse would take your side and tell their sibling to STFU, as they say, but you know they never would...

This poster's wife is, apparently, a saint, but even her defiant stance wasn't enough to quell the entitled outrage:

So, telling the in-laws to "STFU" didn't solve the problem. But what will?

Believe it or not, not everyone even agrees that the in-laws were out of line. Newsweek covered the post and managed to find a psychiatrist who went on the record to say that the poster was in the wrong, and the wife's comments only made it worse:

"The problem was that it came as a sneaky surprise," Dr. Carole Lieberman, a Beverly Hills-based psychiatrist, told Newsweek, adding that despite the good intentions, the Redditor's mistake was not being transparent about the conditions of the invitation.

Newsweek also added that the poster's wife "made the situation a lot worse" and "her language was uncalled for." Because, of course, it's super important when somebody is being an entitled jerk about the free trip you're trying to give them and calling your spouse a derogatory name, it's deeply important not to say any "mean" words that might make them sad.

In conclusion, what are we doing here, folks? Obviously, the in-laws are out of line. How is that even a question? And as for how the poster and his wife should respond to their in-laws calling them "a**holes" for not booking them a fancier hotel? Perhaps they should take a lesson from the wonderful world of Disney:
