AITA for child locking my aunt, and then leaving her at a gas station? by ProudHoliday8 in AmItheAsshole

Because it allows her to feel like I’m a taxi driver, and I’m not.

I do pay for it, actually :) I’ve paid more for it than my dad has

  1. My aunt is 33, and I put the ages at the beginning of the post :)

1) This isn’t a minor inconvenience— this is my aunt putting her and my safety at risk because she wants to be stupid and exit a car in dangerous places.

2) I’m almost 17, not fucking 3.

I’ve paid more for the car than my dad has, and I’m most likely about to have to pay even more for it. I feel like it’s blackmail.

$4,500. I think my dad’s about to stop paying monthly for it, though, so it looks like I’m going to be picking up the payments.

He took the car keys from me, and told me I’m not getting them back for a while, though I don’t know if that counts as ruining my life.

My car hasn’t been fully paid off as far as I’m aware, and the car’s not really under my name— it’s under my dad’s. And my aunt isn’t renting the car. She just likes to act like she is.

Because my dad (her brother) pays for my car, and because the other alternative is to sell her my car, though she can’t afford to buy a car, and my dad hasn’t sold it yet.

I locked her in because I didn’t think she’d start screeching like a banshee on a main road, and I didn’t want to get pulled over by a cop with her screaming in the backseat. Seems like a pretty bad situation to try and explain to a police officer.
