What would you do if you sent someone money to pay them back for doing a favor for you but they never got around to doing the favor?

Would you want your money back, or would you let it go?

In today’s story, one sister is determined to get her money back one way or another, and Christmas seems like the perfect opportunity!

Let’s see what she plans to do.

Got my sister nothing for Christmas for justice

I (26f) have no problem with confrontation.

I’m also autistic and don’t always remember to mask my tone and facial expressions (it’s like putting on your customer service face 24/7 is tiring).

As this is the case I find that my family (imo) over react or disregard when I set a boundary or make what i think is a reasonable request.

Her sister sounds exhausting.

My sister (31f) and I usually bumped heads and because I’m me I’m usually marked as the aggressor.

I’m pretty tired of it to the point where I won’t bother masking when her and I bump heads because I’m seen as the aggressor even when I’m genuinely trying not to be anyway.

Her sister was clearly lying.

More than a couple of weeks ago I messaged my family group chat asking if anyone can send back the order I had made for my cat (I live over 500mi away from them and it was accidentally sent to that as it was my old address) and that I would send money for shipping.

My sister said she would so I venmoed her $30 (again now more than a couple of weeks ago).

A few days ago I asked if she had the chance to send it yet and she said no (she’s been at the house, she lives there half the week and the other half the week with her bf of 8 years I’ve said hi to her when i called my brother to catch up who lives at home full time so i know it isn’t true).

She asked for her money back.

So I messaged the family group chat asking if she could return the $30 since I’m going to be visiting for the holidays anyway, I’ll just pick it up when I get there.

My mom immediately chimed in to see if I needed money and I responded with “No I just don’t need her to send it anymore cause I realized I’m going there soon anyway”.

No response from my sister.

Time for Christmas present revenge.

We send each other Christmas lists to get each other stuff we’d actually like for Christmas and I already claimed a few things on her list.. guess who’s going to get an empty box with the note “your Christmas present is the $30 you chose not to venmo me back-merry merry”?

If I’m going to be the villain anyway I’m going to have some fun with it.

Too much?

I’m probably going to do it anyway.

This is a clever way to get the money back.

Redditors offered a lot of suggestions in the comments.

This person has a clever idea of how to avoid drama on Christmas.

Here’s another suggestion to really drive home the point.

Perhaps filling the box with something annoying would be even better.

This person wouldn’t even pretend to bring a gift.

This is a great suggestion.

It’s literally payback!

One way or another, right?
