Today, I found out my late grandfather left me a significant amount of money in his will. I thought it was weird because he always acted like he hated me. When I got the envelope, there was $500,000 inside, all in Monopoly money. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I attended the reading of my grandfather's last will and testament. My parents, as well as my brothers and sister, all inherited a nice sum of money. I got 69 cents, because, "young Jack always was an immature little shit." FML
Today, I attended the reading of my grandfather's will. I didn't expect to receive anything, since his side of the family had always ostracized me for being born out of wedlock. I did get something: $3,500, on the binding condition that I use a portion of it to get a vasectomy. FML
Today, I found out that when my uncle died, he left me and the rest of my family £2000 each. Only my parents kept and spent my share on themselves. FML
Today, I received a tip in Monopoly money. FML
Today, my aunts found grandpa's will, which left everything to me and nothing to them, and his lawyer confirmed on the phone this was definitely grandpa's wish. My entire family now hate me and think I manipulated him. My grandpa has hated me my entire life, so I think this is his way of punishing me. FML
Today, I inherited several buttloads of money from my grandmother, including property, and by gosh did so many relatives appear from the woodwork to remind me of money granny owed them, or how they just needed an investment to kickstart their business venture. The whole lot of them can screw off. FML
Today, I inherited a lot of money from a great aunt that I had forgotten about. Her immediate family are all scumbags who were only after her money, so she willed it to me and my mom to say "fuck you" to them from beyond the grave. Now I keep getting threatening phone calls. Thanks auntie. FML
Today, my grandpa died suddenly. About a month ago, he gifted me a few thousand dollars to buy a used car. My uncle is now demanding I return it, saying I can't prove that my grandfather agreed to it, and that he wants his rightful share of the inheritance. FML
Today, while paying for groceries, I opened my wallet to find that all my cash had been exchanged for Monopoly money. FML
Today, I found I'd inherited money through the death of my childless aunt, enough to be debt free and pay my entire mortgage. My cheating ex girlfriend found out and is demanding half, since my aunt died when we were still living together under common law. She’s getting solicitors involved. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

I don't sympathize with you OP, reason being, if I could of gotten to know my grandfather and he pulled a stunt on me like that, I'd smile and maybe shed a tear. Not because he left me monopoly money. Maybe because, just because I missed him. Because my grandmother meant the world to me and if she did this. Id think it was funny..... So stop sounding so greedy will ya.. And work for your money, like he did.

We know nothing about OP's relationship with their grandfather other than he hated OP, so it isn't our place to assume that he didn't try. And I'm sure you'd be pissed if all your grandfather left for you was Monopoly money, especially if you thought it was real.

You missed the whole point. The grandfather hated OP enough that he tricked her into thinking he left her something that could be considered thoughtful and a sign that he once cared for her, only to be let down by a dirty trick from beyond the grave. Just because you find it funny, doesn't mean other people on the receiving end of hate shouldn't. Remember, he hated OP, And $500,000 could have helped during this economy.

Yeah 500,00 would help anyone in during any time.. No matter the state of our economy. And yeah of course we don't know there relationship, but how sure can u be he did just because he hated OP. I'm not telling OP how to feel in just stating what I think.
ManInTheMachine 20
How sure can you be that he DIDN'T do it because he hated OP? All I'm saying is it isn't our place to speculate what OP should and shouldn't have done, especially since we are basing this solely off of an FML.

Isn't it a little fast to just assume OP is greedy because of this FML? He said his grandfather had left him a big amount of money which surprised him and obviously he was happy about it! It turned out to be monopoly money and OP was dissapointed. Any one would be.
THE_A_TEEN 28
" but how sure can u be he did just because he hated OP?" Well this phrase could help: "I thought it was weird because he always acted like he hated me." It's safe to assume that grandpa acted like a hateful dick through most of OP's life. I'm starting to get the feeling that you missed the point entirely.
xalba 9
No trust me I didn't miss the point, and maybe the "greedy" comment was uncalled for. But I'm seeing it's my opinion n I spoke my mind, and you have urs and I respect that so if you want to argue with me over an fml, that's fine. But my thoughts are mine and your are ur own. Sorry if I offended anyone. Have a wonderful day

Wow girl really. It's not that serious. Some. People get along with their grandparents better than others. We all can't have great grandparents.

OP's grandpa went well out of his way to ensure that she didn't get anything. Yes, I believe there is a reason for everything, even bad things, but in this case, it doesn't seem to merit what OP got (or didn't get) from her late grandfather. I think it's simply a case of Grandpa being at the pinnacle of dickdom, even after death. Any other person with working brain cells would be let down.

Wow! Trolling from his grave! Your grandfather is legen.... Wait for it.... DARY!

If you're a teenager, get over it. When my relatives passed away, I didn't expect a prize. Be grateful he handed you a shit ton of money top use...in a board game. Boardwalk, anyone?
THE_A_TEEN 28
OP probably didn't even expect an inheritance considering how much the grandfather hated her. Get over yourself, a large sum of money could make anyone excited and a trick like that could let someone down. Douche...

Why is it whenever I read these "you should be thankful" comments, they always obviously miss the point that HE HATED HER. People are so oblivious.
