An old laptop that barely works doesn’t usually cause problems. Most of the time, it just sits in a drawer until you forget where you put the charger. Add a sibling into the mix, though, and suddenly it becomes a debate about priorities, usefulness, and who deserved it more in the first place.
In this AITA post, one Redditor upgrades their MacBook and has to decide what to do with the old, slightly damaged one. The choice they make feels practical and harmless to them, but it doesn’t land that way with everyone involved. What could’ve been a non-issue turns into a quiet family disagreement that spirals once the internet gets a say.
It’s simple on the surface, relatable in an annoying way, and gets surprisingly divisive once people start picking sides.
