A woman shared her strange experience in a recent Reddit post on the “Wedding Shaming” subreddit when her younger brother demanded money from her for attending his wedding.&nbsp;

“‘Hi [wife’s name] just told me she hasn’t received your $115 each no rush you can send it to 123@email.com,’” wrote the woman on the Reddit post.

“Now at no point before now was it communicated to me that they were charging guests to attend. Nowhere on the invitation either. Plus my husband and I already gave them $400 cash in their card," she added.

In her Reddit post, the woman then continued that the wedding took place in a private room of an expensive restaurant with no dance floor or open bar.&nbsp;

“We didn’t even drink alcohol that night and still paid $30 for pop and coffee plus Uber there and back,” she said.

The woman said that her brother thought she was aware of the wedding attendance fee and he had forgotten to inform her about it.&nbsp;

“Now I’m considering not sending anything and if he asks I’ll say oh I forgot. Oh did I mention I also got married in June this year and didn’t charge anyone a dime,” the woman concluded the post.

<h2>Here's how netizens reacted to the post</h2>

On the Reddit post, many people advised the woman not to send any money to her brother and if he continues to insist that the guests should pay for themselves, the money should be made a part of $400 which she gave as a wedding gift to the couple.

“Hey bro, I put $400 in the card. I thought it was $200/per. Please send back the extra $270. Thanks. Love you and congrats again,” wrote one commenter suggesting she should say so.

“That’s ridiculous on so many levels. Caving will only encourage this kind of bad behaviour,” another person wrote.&nbsp;

“Tell him they can take it out of the $400 enclosed in the card. My god, how tacky,” a third commentator said.&nbsp;

“If they’re going to be cheap and petty like this I’d send an itemized bill right back. Pay me for the Uber, pay me for what I spent on food/drinks, pay me for anything I spent on pre-wedding festivities. Dying to know what your parents think of this," posted a fourth user.&nbsp;

Later, the woman wrote, “Don’t worry I’m not going to send him any more money".&nbsp;

She also shared the messages she had sent to her brother which read, “I don’t know if you know this but it’s extremely poor etiquette to charge people to come to a wedding, on that principle I have changed my mind. Please deduct the charge for your wedding from my gift money you have already received. Thank you so much for understanding.”

Man charges his sister for attending his wedding, netizens call it 'ridiculous'

Hannah Robinson, a regular at Feethams Leisure Centre in Darlington, County Durham, England has accumulated parking fines totalling £11,000 (Rs 11,80,465) due to a new five-minute rule. Despite purchasing a parking permit, Robinson faces these hefty penalties.

<h2>New rule causes financial burden</h2>

Excel Parking Services, which manages the car park, has implemented a rule requiring customers to buy their tickets within five minutes of arrival.

<h2>Challenges in adhering to the rule</h2>

Since 2021, Robinson has received 67 fines, each costing around £170 (Rs 18,000), due to difficulties in adhering to this rule. The lack of internet connectivity inside the car park often prevents her from making the necessary transactions in time.

<h2>Robinson's frustration</h2>

"It's ridiculous. I paid for it and have been trying for the full five minutes. They just don't care. I've done everything I can to contact them. All this just to park my car for work," she told BBC News.

Other drivers mentioned that the five-minute limit could be challenging for those with mobility issues or children.

Robinson feels the new rule unfairly targets drivers who follow parking regulations, leading to substantial financial strain despite her efforts to comply.

<h2>Purpose of the new rule</h2>

Excel Parking Services introduced this rule to prevent people from using the car park as a pickup spot for the nearby cinema without paying. ANPR cameras track when cars enter and leave the car park.

Woman fined £11,000 over five-minute parking rule in UK

Rebels who have been fighting Ethiopia's government have played down reports that they would cause a "bloodbath" if they advanced into Addis Ababa. This comes as thousands of people joined a pro-military rally in the region.&nbsp;

The situation in Ethiopia has been heating up as state media said that the Ethiopian army had called on former army personnel to rejoin to fight Tigrayan forces moving towards Addis Ababa.&nbsp;

Fighters from the Tigray People's Liberation Front and their allies have claimed several victories in recent weeks. They have captured towns some 400 kilometres from the capital.

"The story that the population in Addis is vehemently opposed to us is absolutely overstated," TPLF spokesman Getachew Reda told AFP.

"Addis is a melting pot. People with all kinds of interests live in Addis. The claim that Addis will turn into a bloodbath if we enter Addis is absolutely ridiculous."

Nine anti-government factions have formed a new alliance with an aim of pushing Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed's government out.

The year-long conflict has killed thousands of people and forced more than two million out of their homes.

The US and other nations called for a ceasefire in Ethiopia amid fighting between Tigrayan forces and government troops. The US embassy allowed its staff in the Ethiopian capital Addis Ababa to leave amid heavy fighting.&nbsp;

The Biden administration added that it was "gravely concerned" about the situation. US Secretary of State Antony Blinken also called for a ceasefire, saying, "The conflict in Ethiopia must come to an end."

The United Nations has said that up to 7 million people in the Ethiopian regions of Tigray, Amhara and Afar need help. This includes 5 million in Tigray where some 400,000 people are estimated to be living in famine-like conditions.

'Absolutely ridiculous': Rebels in Ethiopia play down reports of causing 'bloodbath'

Congress president Rahul Gandhi described Prime Minister Narendra Modi's fitness video put out this morning as "bizarre" and "ridiculous".

Hosting an Iftar party at a luxury hotel here today, Gandhi said this amounted to bankruptcy and asked CPI-M general secretary Sitaram Yechury to put out his fitness video to match the prime minister.

"Did you see the PM's fitness video? It is ridiculous... I mean... It is bizarre... This is bankruptcy," he said as he poked fun at the video put out by the prime minister.

Sharing a table with former presidents Pranab Mukherjee and Pratibha Patil, Gandhi then turned to Yechury asking him to put out his fitness video as a challenge to Modi's.

TMC leader Dinesh Trivedi, BSP leader Satish Chandra Misra and DMK's Kanimozhi were among those who had a hearty laugh over the prime minister's video.

Mukherjee, Patil and former vice president Hamid Ansari, who were sharing the table, were silently hearing the conversation.

Among others who also attended the Congress chief's Iftar included former prime minister Manmohan Singh. 
 
UPA chairperson Sonia Gandhi was not present as she is currently abroad.

Earlier, Congress leader Pramod Tewari termed the fitness video as an insult to the supreme sacrifice of the four BSF personnel who died in cross-border firing from Pakistan in Kashmir.&nbsp;
