DES MOINES, Iowa — Jane Hambleton has dubbed herself the "meanest mom on the planet."

After finding alcohol in her son's car, she decided to sell the car and share her 19-year-old's misdeed with everyone — by placing an ad in the local newspaper.

The ad reads: "OLDS 1999 Intrigue. Totally uncool parents who obviously don't love teenage son, selling his car. Only driven for three weeks before snoopy mom who needs to get a life found booze under front seat. $3,700/offer. Call meanest mom on the planet."

How the hell can she sell something that she doesn't own? I wouldn't call her "the meanest mom on the planet" but instead i would choose the word "fraud".

It says in the article that it was the mom who bought the car, I don't think they went through all the problems with register the car to a new owner when they live in the same family.

I hope that her son realize that he have a mom with humour. Well, lesson learned: Don't let your mom into your car alternatively don't save the booze.
 
If he wasn't smart enough to hide his alchohol properly, then yes, sell the car :)

Yeah, perhaps saving his life, and innocent others from a drinking-and-driving related accident? What, a, bitch. Obviously :banghead:

I'd do the same thing if that happened, and I was the parent, albeit, not as funny though :D

By protecting her son from drinking and driving which might result death or jail? I don't think so...

And she does this by naming and shaming him infront of pretty much the entire world which is proven to be best way in existance to get somebody to kill himself?
 
He was going to kill himself (and maybe other people) either way... so yeah..
 
pretty sure the legal age for alcohol is 18 in Australia lol witch is quite young, it would Be funny u come home wheres my car, nah son we sold it because u had alcohol in it, what!$%#$%
 
well there is always the alternatives, a cop pulls him over and see's the booze, he goes to jail and the car is impounded.

just because he hid booze in his car doesnt mean hes drinking and driving, but better safe than sorry.

i for one don't think the mother is mean, i think she is smart.
 
He could of just been hiding the stuff in the car. However, since the mom freaked out about it - it was probably not possible for him to have that in the house so likely he would be forced to the car to drink it. Sounds like Mom's fault :)

  • Varine Varine:
    I should have had all of this like a month ago but whatever, it's fine. He's trying a thing, idk it's his menu I don
  • Varine Varine:
    I don't care.
  • Varine Varine:
    Fuck I need more saturday nights off. Turns out I'm much cooler to drunk girls. If I hang out with enough people like that, eventually I'll meet one that likes me sober too
  • Varine Varine:
    idk if anyone has ever done IT. I am not IT but I just got off a 20 minute phone call with the general manager asking me how to make her new computer print. I do adore her, like I know her personally, but I asked three times if the printer was on. She apologized for bothering me, and Chef Ben walked in a few minutes later, turned the printer on apparently, and then called to ask if I was trying to print shit from my house again
  • Varine Varine:
    So I have a newfound appreciation
  • Varine Varine:
    And also I'm going to remove that one from my secondary career options
  • Varine Varine:
    As I get older I'm not thinking I can do this forever anymore, and I'm kind of dead end right now. I get a fine salary and fair raises, like I can easily live my lifestyle on this normally, but I don't know if I can do this in ten years, and I don't think I want to. I don't really have any desire to take over another restaurant, and I don't want to try and own one, and I doubt I'll luck out like I did with that taco place in Texas
  • Varine Varine:
    I have a math degree but that was a while ago and I'm not positive I actually deserved that. It was kind of just given to me I feel like cuz I was in school so long. Like for a bit as a teenager I got real into the mormon thing, and my dad grew up kind of similarly. Much like he fell out of it
  • Varine Varine:
    Anyway he started coming to church with me for a bit, and they gave home the I think Melchizedek? idk how to spell it, but it's the 'upper' priesthood, like he had a whole blessing thing after I got baptized, and it WAS a very neat experience. And the only reason I think they did they did that was cuz he was like late 30s, and that is kind of the age that they have the last chance at that
  • Varine Varine:
    And I mean its not, but like... I'm pretty well set in my lack of religious beliefs, I guess. And I'm a bit younger than my dad would have been then.
  • Varine Varine:
    And then I got real into, he got bored and was like you do you dude, and that's how I got a huge amount of freedom when I started doing drugs as a teenager
  • Varine Varine:
    In hindsight my parents were fantastic. but they were too fucking tired to raise kids like me. And their jobs were easier with better benefits.
  • Varine Varine:
    Anyway idk where I'm going here, but I asked ChatGPT some of the same things and holy shit was it way more strict and just gave me (importantly the wrong) phone number to a hotline
  • Varine Varine:
    TH, I gotta say, though, I'm amazed you keep this up. I feel like there are you and Ghan doing whatever you're doing, Tom posting news, and then me using the chatbox as a journal every once in a while.

  • Varine Varine:
    Thanks for letting me do that, also. I know I'm not using it correctly, but somewhere along the line I went from arguing with Cheshire to using this as a kind of void for my frustrations and hopes. I like to think of the whole thing as an enigma of sorts
  • Varine Varine:
    It's not, you guys could probably blackmail me if you went back far enough. I doubt anyone would, you've always been very kind, and I'm glad to have been a part of all this! I hope you enjoy me too, cuz I'm going to keep doing it.

    In my defense I was high for a lot of that though
  • V-SNES V-SNES:
    Thanks for sharing @Varine
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Brother how long we been here together? You guys are some of my best friends and I have never even met any of you. I dont know what I would if I did not have my Varine rant to look at when I get on. How could I possibly ever shut this site down? We have been here in this little chat box through a lot of shit for a long time. I love you guys!

    I missed out on a lot of chat messages. But yeah, we're planning for my mom's funeral back in Taiwan. I'm really glad I work remotely, so I can try to leverage that and go to places outside of US while still working in US.

  • tom_mai78101 tom_mai78101:
    If it wasn't for my mom, I wouldn't be able to work in the US. Let alone being able to work until our office closed, and I became a full-time remote employee.
  • tom_mai78101 tom_mai78101:
    Really important though, get your wills and last testaments ready. We avoided like 2 to 3 months of waiting for probate court to get back to us.

    V-SNES I got good news I got your stuff packed for shipping and just need to get to the post office to get shipping cost!

    Oh man Cheshire, I often wonder what happened to her and most of the other people who used to be here
  • V-SNES V-SNES:
    @The Helper that's great! Looking forward to getting them!
