Today, and throughout the past week, my electricity, water, cable, and Internet were progressively shut off. Why? Because my deranged mother-in-law has been stealing the money orders I use to pay my bills out of my mailbox. She also stole the late notices because she didn't want me to be "mad". FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I have an egregious delinquent neighbor. She is always using internet and electrical services illegally, but is always getting packages from Amazon. Her packages are always left at my place, as she is so afraid of tax collectors, she won't open the door. She gave my billing address without my consent. FML
Today, I found out why I haven't been getting my bank statements for the past couple of months. My parents have been hiding them from me, because they've been stealing from it. FML
Today, I discovered my own mother has been stealing money from me for months when I opened my savings box to find it empty. FML
Today, my ridiculously paranoid mom was almost arrested after she caused a huge scene outside her apartment's leasing office. She demanded to pay her rent with a money order, even though they’re only accepting online payments due to the quarantine. She thinks they’re trying to steal her information. FML
Today, my mother called me "wasteful" because I left the refrigerator door open and that "electricity money doesn’t grow on trees." This is the same person who lets my little sister have her light on all night, because she’s scared of the dark. FML
Today, my grandmother, who I live with, turned the heat off in our house because she went through my private, personal notes on how I wanted to spend my paycheck, and she was mad that I used some of it to help the father of my not-yet-born child, who's struggling financially, make his car payments. FML
Today, all of my credit cards were frozen due to fraud. The culprit? My own mother. She rationalized it by saying I "owed" her for raising me. She didn’t even raise me. My grandma did. FML
Today, my nosy mom opened my mail and saw how much I have in my account. She confiscated my debit card because she’s convinced no one could save that much working part time at Burger King and is demanding I confess where so much money came from. I'm moving out. Fuck her. FML
Today, my mom blocked me on everything, kicked me out of her house, and declared that I'm "dead to her." Why? She ordered a package, but it never came. I’m still trying to process how that could possibly be my fault. FML
Today, my mom cleaned out my bank account, saying my "no-good dad" owes her child support and that she'll get it one way or another. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Classic flockz. You'd neglect basic hygiene like showers for the internet, wouldn't you?
Kallian_fml 21
Who showers when they have Internet?

#12 I do. And it makes the experience a whole lot better, if you know what I mean. ;-)

I'd say move in with her in retaliation, but that just seems cruel to you.

Yeah don't do that, especially since now you're both broke. Try paying your bills online once your Internet is working and until then, you should drop them directly in a mailbox.

Get your husband/wife to speak to her..

Ugh. Monster-in-laws...

How was she even cashing the money orders? They have to be filled out similarly to checks.

There are some money orders that are just money in an envelop.

Or, she's just keeping them because she's insane.

Why does she have a key to OP's mailbox(assuming that the mailbox needs a key)?
botanistjessica 24
Unless you live in an apartment, most mailboxes don't need keys.
Senseless_487 29
64, that isn't a money order. That's called "cash in an envelope."
Soloman212 28
Isn't "order" French for "in an envelope"؟

#109 Um no.. lmfao

That really blows, sorry OP
Reaper1984 13
At least she is a thoughtful thief, even though she didn't think that one through, sorry op.

She might be more clever than thoughtful. I mean to me it sounds like she tried to cover her tracks. But when she got caught, she probably felt Like saying that to save herself.

I believe messing with someone's mail is a federal crime. Then there is stealing on top of that.

Then once your internet is up & running, perhaps consider switching to online banking.

That's just... cruel. I would figure out another way to receive notices from the companies besides through mail. FYL.

Looks like her plan to not make you mad failed

So were you mad?
