Demanding Parents Who Aren’t Getting A World’s Best Parent Mug Anytime Soon

When you were a kid, perhaps you thought your parents were too harsh when they wouldn't let you go over to a friend's house or get a chocolate bar at the grocery store.

Parents often tell us that if we want a dog, it's our responsibility to feed them, take them out for walks, and clean up after them. While dogs are a big responsibility, pets such as fish are pretty chill—unless you're this parent.

It's reasonable to say that if someone randomly asks you for private info, such as banking information, you're probably in for a bad time.

This dad (which is a strong term here) demanded his daughter give him her Social Security number and when she refused, says she "lost $250,000." That fake prince in Nigeria must be so disappointed right now.
