Person Agrees To Accommodate Friend’s SIL While She’s Getting Her ‘Mummy Makeover’, Regrets It After One Chat With Her
The subreddit ‘Choosing Beggars‘ is a place where people share stories and experiences of individuals who make outrageous or entitled demands, often in exchange for little or no effort on their own part. And if it had a hall of fame, this woman would definitely end up there.
Recently, she booked a butt job in another city and contacted Reddit user Mother_Customer7570 through her sister-in-law, demanding they give her a place to stay, drive her around, and feed her during the period leading up to the surgery and the recovery afterward.
This person was contacted by a stranger who had booked a butt job in their hometown and wanted them to allow her to crash at their place

However, that was just the tip of the demand list

A Brazilian butt lift is a specialized fat transfer procedure that augments the size and shape of the buttocks without implants. During it, excess fat is removed from the hips, abdomen, lower back, or thighs with liposuction, and a portion of this fat is then strategically injected into the buttocks.
While pain is typically minimal and easily controlled with medication, the patient isn’t allowed to sit or lie directly on their buttocks for about 2 weeks after the “lift.”
During this time, the patient needs to sleep on their stomach or side, and either lie this way or stand for all activities except using the toilet. When they are ready, the cosmetic surgeon will allow them to sit in a modified position, using a “donut” seat or placing a pillow under their thighs to avoid pressure on the buttocks. Normal sitting activity is typically allowed after 8 weeks or so.
Following the surgeon’s instructions, the patient should be able to resume light daily activities within 1 week after surgery and return to work within 10 to 14 days.
So the choosing beggar would have definitely been a handful if the Redditor agreed to take her in.
As the story went viral, the original poster (OP) shared an update on the conflict

There are many reasons why someone might attempt such an opportunistic move. But psychologist and decision researcher Eva Krockow, Ph.D., thinks stunts like this stem from human nature.
She said people experience a pleasant high after receiving a freebie in an expensive world where we frequently have to pay even for visiting a public toilet. It’s like winning the lottery with a ticket you found on the street.
“Well, it was quite a night,” Mother_Customer757 said after their story blew up. “I did not expect this post to get as much traction as it did. [I’m] glad to know I’m not the crazy one.”
“My friend’s friend (ex-roomie) who is also my friend was messaging [the choosing beggar] and she sent me screenshots of the stuff she was saying about me. Very below-the-belt hurtful stuff, a lot of wrong info but glad to know what [she] really thought about me. To think I almost had this woman in my home boggles my mind.”
The Redditor said that the popularity of their post has helped them and given them a better perspective of the bigger picture.
And while people expressed their outrage, the person provided more details in the comments
back in 1999, i had to have surgery at a hospital that specialized in it. the hospital was about 300 mi away from where i lived. since it was going to be outpatient surgery i had booked a hotel close by as post op appts would be easier. the dr required that i stay near by for at least 3 days just because i lived so far away and he wanted to make sure i could do the return travel. told family/friends that i would be fine as hospital did have shuttle to and from. so, i flew down & was blown away when i got off the plane to see my best friend standing there waiting for me. she wanted to help w/aftercare. also, she worked for major hotel chain which allowed one free overnight at any of their hotels. she worked it out that we would 'bounce' from two different hotels so cut costs there. that is what friends do-help but not use.
That’s so nice! I need some friends or family like that! I have to go to the hospital a fair amount, and on the days I can’t drive, because I’m too sick, I often get rolled eyes, or if it’s inconvenient for them some other pony excuse. The hospital is 25 mins away 🤷🏻♀️

Narcissists are 100% c**ty. OP needs to read about Echoism. Wish I’d known about this 60 years ago
Load More Replies... No reason whatsoever to let that kind of people into your life let alone your home. The friend has some explaining to do- sending that nightmare OPs way.
I'm guess the friend is getting manipulated too, but can't see it because it's closer to home. I'd recommend the OP set clear boundaries, back away from this situation, and let her friend know she'll still be around when this horrible SIL is no longer in then picture.
