Terrible ParentingMy parents used to lock my brother, sister and I in the car while they went to the pub for a "quick one" after work. This quick one might last several hours, during which they would send bottles of Indian Tonic Water to us by way of refreshment.
On one particularly cold evening, bored stupid, we lit a small bonfire on the back seat of the car using the cigarette lighter and the contents of the glove box. We owe our lives to passing winos. (BTW: Please no more Maddie or Jesus gags, they've been done.)

Girlfriends MumMy girlfriends mum is divorced and has bipolar disorder. Now she is by no means poor, makes ~£45k a year so what i'm about to tell you really shouldn't happen.
She steals the details of her daughter's account numbers and without even saying anything will buy say something worth £500. My girlfriend only finds out when she checks her balance and BANG -£300 into her overdraft and she thinks its fraud.
She takes her credit card as well, uses it then doesn't tell her until she starts getting letters through demanding payment because her mum has gone through the bloody credit limit. On top of it my girlfriend is just a poor student so she never has and money anyway, she just steals her overdraft.
It's not even for important stuff either, she buys TV's and crap like that on her account. Often when she asks her mum for the money, her mum denies that she took any, or that it was only half that. So my girlfriend has to print a statement out and prove to her mum where she has basically taken her money.
Her Mum just went on holiday, and took my girlfriends credit card with her "just in case", so i told her to cancel her credit card (which shes done). Few days ago they get a letter through from the debt collectors saying her little brothers paypal account has to be payed immediately because her mum used it months ago without telling him.
Tell you what, shes going to destroy their credit rating.
