| 0:00.0 | My entitled father, in a fit of rage, canceled all of our hotel reservations at the last minute |
| 0:05.1 | after most of the family came into town for my aunt's wedding, while also expecting all of us to sleep |
| 0:10.1 | on the floor, despite never providing blankets, mattresses, or sleeping bags of any kind. |
| 0:15.0 | And I'm honestly so blown away by my father's entitlement that I have now decided that I will |
| 0:19.4 | never trust my father with anything |
| 0:21.1 | ever again. Here's what happened. Okay, so this was only a few years ago, but this is literally |
| 0:26.0 | the most jerk thing that my entitled father has ever done. So my aunt, my father's younger sister, |
| 0:31.7 | was getting married a few years ago. She lives in a major metro area and was getting married |
| 0:35.9 | downtown. My father generously offered me, |
| 0:38.9 | myself, my grandmother, and my brother, separate hotel rooms to house us and our respective spouses |
| 0:44.4 | within walking distance to the venue. No renting a car, no stress. It would be an easy in and out |

| 0:54.5 | rest. I want to point out that my dad is financially secure and none of this would have put him in dire |
| 0:59.4 | straits. My brother and his wife flew in and I was going to fly, but I live within a day's driving |
| 1:04.6 | distance of my aunt. And while initially I was going to fly, At the last minute, something made me change my mind. I told my dad I was going to |
| 1:11.8 | drive and he said to me, what in the world are you doing that for? But honestly, I wanted to have |
| 1:16.4 | access to a car and I guess as a safety measure, I threw in the trunk a sleeping mat, a blanket, and a |
| 1:22.0 | pillow. And I guess I just had a feeling that things were going to go bad. So me, my dad, and my brother and his wife are |
| 1:28.1 | meeting my dad at my grandmother's house when all of us get into town, which is a full 25 miles |
| 1:33.2 | away from where my aunt is getting married in a few days. No one has rented a car and my grandmother |
| 1:38.1 | doesn't drive. So my car is the only car that we all have, but it's totally fine. We're all moving |
| 1:43.8 | to the hotel soon, |
