“Would you consider this cheating, or is my girlfriend overreacting,” began the thread in a popular online forum. The boyfriend went on to share a story about what he did during a game of Monopoly that made his girlfriend furiously claim that he cheated, while he thought he was just being clever.
The Game Unfold
The user sets the stage with some background. “I had the orange monopoly, and she had the red monopoly. We both had two houses on each of our properties. "
Many commenters on the thread found the story amusing and defended the boyfriend, with some even praising him for his clever tactics. One user wrote, “I think it’s hilarious and smart, honestly. It’s Monopoly, not the Olympics.”
A few commenters also injected some humor into the discussion, poking fun at the seriousness of the situation. One user wrote, “He didn’t cheat; he just got creative with his finances. That’s what they do in real life, right?”
One commenter even brought up the classic board game, Clue, jokingly suggesting that the girlfriend may have revenge on her mind. “The real question is, will she seek revenge in a game of Clue and end up murdering him with the candlestick?” they wrote.
While these comments may not provide serious insights into the situation, they do add a lighthearted touch to a contentious issue. The humor also highlights the fact that, in the grand scheme of things, a game of Monopoly is not worth getting too upset over.
