Pissed Off Mom Punishes Daughter by Selling Her One Direction Tickets
It's unclear what exactly this daughter did to make her mom this mad, but apparently something so bad that it warrants the worst punishment of known to teenage girls: Auctioning off her One Direction tickets.
The nonchalant title of the eBay listing for the four tickets to see 1D perform at the Allphones Arena in Sydney on Friday, October 25th, belies the wrath contained within the listing itself.
Behold (sic where applicable):
You can thank my daughters self righteous and lippy attitude for their sale. See sweety? And you thought I was bluffing. I hope the scowl on your bitchy little friends faces when you tell them that your dad and i revoked the gift we were giving you all reminds you that your PARENTS are the ones that deserve love and respect more than anyone. And your silly little pack mentality of taking your parents for fools is one sadly mistaken. Anyhow. Your loss someone else’s gain who deserves them!
…OH YOUR FRIENDS THOUGHT THAT A FEW PRANKS CALLS WOULD PUT ME OFF SELLING THE GIFT WE BOUGHT FOR THEM for YOUR BIRTHDAY because YOU all LIED to us about sleep overs so you could hang like little trollops at an older guys HOUSE????? Pffft!! I find it HIGHLY amusing that you girls think you invented this stuff. Tricks like this on OUR parents is how HALF of you were conceived …..And why a lot of your friends DONT have an address to send that Fathers day card to!!! I’m not your friend. I’m your MOTHER. And I am here to give you the boundaries that YOU NEED to become a functional responsible adult. You may hate me now….. But I don’t care. Its my job to raise a responsible adult..not nuture bad habits in my teen age child.
As Consumerist points out, with the bidding now at AUS$660 ($620), the mom stands to make at least double what she originally spent (~$300), despite there being plenty of seats still available for the concert.
That being said, the amount of money she'll ultimately need to spend on her daughter's therapy might zero out her profit margin.
