Tell me why you cannot play monopoly with...

LONG POST, BUT WORTH THE READ

I will start.

Set the scene: each player is going to be referred to as a color

Me- Green player Brother- Orange Sister- Red Sister's boyfriend- Blue Father- Yellow Mother- not playing/just watching - Purple

Before we started I asked to be the banker because it is my favorite job. I know how to keep the bank money in the container it came in for easier organization. I also know how to keep my money to play the game and the bank's money separate. Bank money is in the container standing up off to the side and my money laying flat on the table, slightly tucked under the board game.

NOTE- every other player also has their money tucked slightly under the board game so that it does not get moved or accidently swiped off the table.

Blue wants to be the property manager. The property cards are placed in a circular spinal for its own organization.

Game rules: standard house - land ON go get $400 - once you go past go get $200 - cannot receive rent if you are in jail - once in jail you have 3 free tries to get out. However you get out of jail, via get out of jail free card, rolled the dice, or paid the fee, that is your turn. Your NEXT turn is when you roll to move your piece. - All taxes, money towards buying property, and "pay the bank" from pulling a chance or community chest goes into the free parking space.

Everyone agrees on these rules and the game begins.

We are about 45 minutes deep into the game. Some players have hotels, some have houses, and some are just about to declare bankruptcy.

Red player has landed on free parking probation 2 or 3 times at this point. Red has the most money out of every player.

Orange has gotten free parking once.

No one else has gotten free parking.

At one point, as the banker, not a player I say "Hey guys, the bank is running low on 100 dollar bills. Can i get some and trade you 500 dollar bills, or 50's or 20's?".

Everyone can CLEARLY see that Red has the most 100 bills. Like a STUPID amount of them.

Blue is the first one to trade in their 100 dollar bills. Followed by Orange, and Yellow. However, their trade in does not make a difference.

I, as the banker, ask Red, "hey can you give the bank some 100 dollar bills? The bank is running low".

Red then loses their shit.

Red says "Why? Why the fuck would I give you my money?"

Me, as banker " I don't want your money. The bank is low on 100 dollar bills. You will be trading your 100's for other denominations. You are not losing any money".

Orange then says "Yeah you have the most 100 dollar bills and the bank needs them. The bank will give you 500 dollar bills as a trade."

Red, again, "Why the fuck would I give you my money."

Blue "Babe, everyone traded in their 100 dollar bills. You are not losing money. Just give the bank like 20 of your 100 dollar bills. You are not going to lose money". *remember Red has a PILE of 100 dollar bills.

I, the banker say "the game is at a stand still because the bank needs 100 dollar bills, but we don't have any because it is everyone's favorite bill. You will get the 100's back at the game continues, but right now, I have no more to give out."

Red then says "You just want my fucking money because you are losing. You are just about to be bankrupt that is why you want my money".

Me, green now "I don't give a fuck about your money. I don't care that I am losing. Good for you that you are winning. What I am telling you is that the BANK needs 100 dollar bills".

Red "why fuck should I share my money? I don't see anyone else giving their 100 dollar bills!".

Orange and Blue both chimed in "We already gave the bank our 100 dollar bills/ you were not paying attention."

Red, then gets up from their chair, throws the board on the ground and then yells "you (me green) are just fucking jealous that I am better than you and you need to bring me down".

Yep...it just got personal

Red and I (green) now start personally attaching each other.

Purple steps in ans tries to calm us down and be the mediator.

Yellow literally yells over us "SHUT THE FUCK UP".

So, I, green do, but Red continues to personally attack me. So, I fire back.

The 10 minute verbal argument ends with Red saying to me (green), "You are getting less hours at your part time job after Christmas is over because you are a fucking bitch to work with".

For the record, I was working retail at this time, hired during the holidays, so my hours are based on the companie's revenue.

Almost daily I would have customers saying something along the lines of "you are very helpful, thank you, you are so kind, where is your boss so I can tell them how nice and friendly you are, you are very helpful, and overall just praise and thanks from customers".

Red has never had a job before in their life.

After Red said "you're a bitch" comment, and defamed my character, I just walked out of the house, go in my car, drove 45 minutes to the closest beach, crying the entire time.

So, that is why I can never play monopoly with my sister (Red vs Green).

Our dad (yellow) makes jokes about to this day and even says that monolog is forbidden in the house.
