I’ll never understand quantum physics, why my dad takes 15 years to buy milk, and jerks who try to take advantage of artists, offering exposure as payment.
When reddit user KindredCocaCola agreed to create some promotional material for her aunt’s business, she didn’t know what she was getting herself into. The lady tried to rob her of several thousands of dollars worth of work and was so full of herself, she even tried to turn KindredCocaCola’s family against her. But the artist handled everything like a pro and did everything in her power to deal with her toxic aunt.
What’s really amazing is, in the process of demanding what rightfully belongs to KindredCocaCola, she exposed how her aunt’s entire life is just one giant scam. Continue scrolling and read how everything unfolded in our heroine’s own words!

She states that she "was positive she agreed to pay me".One of the life lessons I learned early on was Get It In Writing! Especially for anything involving family members.A verbal contract is the same as no contract.It is best that everyone found out exactly what she was doing before it got any worse.

Good lord, what a scummy b***h!Many years back, I started working for free for a budding author. Eventually, I explained that I couldn't afford to do it anymore. We worked out a price and pay schedule, put it on paper. Neither of us got rich from the enterprise, but there was mutual respect and honesty.
