My Stepmom Gave Me a Gross Couch — Then Demanded Thousands When I Transformed It

When Nicole’s stepmother, Susan, claimed she had a “priceless” birthday gift, Nicole hoped it might be a rare genuine gesture. But when she arrived,

she was met with a smelly, torn old couch dragged from the basement. Rejecting it would upset her dad, so she forced a smile and took it home. Deep

down, she knew Susan was just getting rid of junk.

Nicole planned to dump the couch but changed her mind. With help from her boyfriend, Derek, she cleaned, scrubbed, patched, and even steamed it

back to life. After hours of work and creativity, the couch looked like a designer piece. On a whim, Nicole listed it online for $5,000 — and to her

shock, someone actually bought it.

The buyer, Maggie, was thrilled, calling it perfect for her art studio. Nicole was stunned but proud — she turned garbage into gold. But her joy didn’t

last long. A few days later, Susan came storming over, furious after seeing the online listing. She demanded half the money, claiming it was still “her”

couch.

Nicole stood firm. “You gave it away, Susan. I made it valuable.” But Susan wouldn’t accept it, vowing Nicole would regret her decision. Nicole hasn’t

heard from her since, but she’s sure her father will call soon. For now, she’s just enjoying her well-earned profit — and the satisfaction of outsmarting

her stepmother.
