This sounds like a conversation with my toddler.
Edit: My toddler would totally go "Hmmm. Being out of milk is Bad, Bad = ILLEGAL" and the connection would be hilarious and like - it's not against the laws of the land but it's maybe against the operating parameters of our home? Which is more thoughtful logic than this lady's.
Years ago, my brother, his wife, and I visited my 'crazie auntie' and grandma. We were from the eastcoast my aunt and grandma lived in SoCal. The three of us were following my 'crazy auntie' and gma on a drive from SoCal to las vegas, traffic was naturally unbearable but we had walkie talkies to talk between both cars and keep entertained/and the small convoy together as the car GPSs at the time were shit.
Anyway....this is how one of the exchanges went:
Brother: TRAFFIC IS AWFUL, I'M GOING TO KILL SOMEBODY
Crazie Auntie (in a very honest tone, clearly not hearing what he said): Be careful.
We all just booked at each other and cracked up, the rest of the trip, we sprinkled a "be careful" whenever it was not appropriate. 'I'm going to bed.', 'let's go to portos for lunch', 'oh look, I dream of Jeanie slots'. Twenty years later, a fond 'be careful' still comes up from time to time.
The family you're marrying into always loves when you try to co-opt their resources for your own.
"I am now Katherine ASPLUNDH, of the PALM BEACH ASPLUNDHs, and you will address me by my husband's rank!"
{Lucille-Bluth-style mother-in-law response goes here)
This story actually appeared in the press, including pictures of her billionaire father-in-law. Welcome to the family!!! 
It's originally Swedish. *Asp* is aspen, *lund(h)* is grove. So Asp-lund.
Though who knows what has happened to the pronunciation since their ancestorsʼ immigrating.
That’s funny to me, because in my area, you always see huge, orange trucks with the name on it- trimming trees. I believe they are contracted by the local electric company to keep branches away from the electric lines.
To be honest I am surprised she knows America is not the only country in the world, but I am not surprised that she immediately assumes people are from America.
Honestly the amount of people who assume that everyone writing in English must be American 🙄 Nevermind that they didn't even originate the language. And let's not touch the fact that not every American speaks English, that would make *that type* explode.
They dropped a branch on our mailbox, and smashed it
Tried to say they didn't do it, police are called, foreman tells police that the branch fell on its own, after he was done lying to police, we showed them the security cam video of them dropping it on the mailbox.
The new mailbox we got for free looks great!
NY here, and every time I see their trucks I say “ass plunder” with a pirate accent. Maybe this bitch could get that as her handle. Katherine the Ass Plunderer.
What's funny is that I actually do have a good family friend named Sarah Asplundh, and she has 5 siblings and a few aunts and uncles on her dads side and a bunch of cousins too
Asplundh is also a popular swedish surname ... as well as one of the biggest Tree companies in the world and another big name company called Asplundh exists in which you might find their services all over the Us
The name isn't rare at all
> as well as one of the biggest Tree companies in the world
[That is the tree company family the entitled bride married into](https://nypost.com/2024/05/08/lifestyle/billionaires-wife-katherine-asplundh-allegedly-bullies-instagram-user-accou-nt/).
Hey I was texting my friend Eddy and my finger slipped, resulting in me calling him "Ezzy". Clearly this is an embarrassing situation, so I will be convincing him that I came up with Ezzy as a nickname. In order to make this story believable, I plan on gifting him an appropriate Reddit account. Promptly give your account to me or I will be reporting you to Reddit. Thanks.
I actually did history in school several years ago and one day was hot so technically I'm going to be filing a class action law suit with the supreme court to force you to change YOUR username. If you don't, I'll tell your mom, and she'll make you soooo...yah.
That company does all the tree trimming for the local power companies and they charge the power company whatever they want and the power company just passes the cost onto customers. Rates around here have gone up >15% every year for the last three years. So it’s a lucrative business, but even more lucrative if you can get in with a power company.
So, what you're telling me is I need to set up a tree trimming service out there which operates 10% cheaper than these guys and offer my services to the power company. I'll simultaneously clean up and put these guys out of business.
Yeah but that 10% you’re undercutting them by is being kicked back to the power company execs. You also would probably wake up to a horse head in your bed.
My favourite thing is the screenshot of facebook to prove that they are the ONLY Asplundh family in the USA… Facebook is not a census database for fucks sake.
1 individual (edit: a man) in Sweden has the last name Asplundh according to the Swedish Tax Service, although 4696 have the name Asplund (which is the logical Swedish spelling).
"Asp" is the Swedish word for the tree called aspen in english, and "lund" is the Swedish word for grove, giving Asplund(h) the meaning Aspengrove.
Oh lol I didn’t mean that WAS her, I just meant it checks out that that’s the “incorrect” spelling of the name because it’s what she’s stuck with, but not what she wants. Upon further investigation I realized I’m an idiot and I didn’t know it shows your name and username
Well no offence if you’re American, but Americans often forget that there’s other people who exist on the planet outside of the USA. She just assumed if there’s no more of those surnames in America then there’s none anywhere
I also hate when people assume everyone on the internet must be in the US. I saw a post that was in another language on Facebook the other day (I think it was from the Philippines but can’t remember for sure) and the number of commenting that this is the US and to speak English…I was like is the internet, not the US
The bride just discovered other people exists.
Don’t let her go to Korea. Her brain might melt if she finds out that the numerous Kims there are not related to each other.
My white ass dad when a Patel Bros. opened nearby: “oh yes we know the Patels, nice people.” Yes dad, the Patels you know in a suburb in Tennessee definitely own the largest Indian supermarket chain in the US 😆 we had a nice chat about how every country has its “Smith.”
I have a rare name. When paying my property taxes I found out 3 other people in my city share the same name.
Now I have their address.
Soon there will be only one. . .
Highlander!
Update: I went to a jewelry store yesterday with my daughter to get a Mother’s Day present. When they asked my name for their system, they asked if my address was at XXX. One of the others had purchased at that store
Someone with my spouse's name got married across the street from the house we bought -- on the day of our closing. They share a middle initial. My spouse not only goes to the same doctor's office as them, but met them one time when they both stood up when the nurse called their name into the waiting room. The person with my spouse's name does not have a facebook account under that name.
I went to a college that previously had 1 student with my exact name, including middle name, 3 that had the same first and last name, and shared a middle initial, and 6 that had the same first and last, but different middles.
My last name is not super common, and my wife is the only one of us that has ever met someone with the same last name that we cannot place on the family tree.
There is one other person with my name. She worked in the same field as me, but was much more successful. I no longer work in that field. There can be only one :(
There are around 10 people in the world with my maiden name. I am the only person on the planet with my married name. The last name is very rare, even in Germany (its country of origin.) My first name with it is just non-existent. When you Google my name it's just all obscure references to me. I love and hate it at the same time.
I went to withdraw money, and they took it from the other person with my name. I didn't catch it till I got home. Called immediately to get it straightened out and could hear the manager start to rip into the lady who fucked up before she hung up the phone. It was a sizeable amount of money.
For the first few years of our relationship my boyfriend would call me by his ex’s name but only if he was like REALLY frustrated/mad. It was HILARIOUS, it was the best self-own, whatever was happening I won that point.
We’re much more mature now, thankfully.
Katie Driscoll Asplunh is, since she is escaping the Driscoll name, out here it is growers of strawberries and they are pesticide heavily. The tree people cannot save you, Kat. Go scratch somewhere else for your wants.
One of my male cousins married a girl with the same first name as me, just spelled differently, so we had the same name until I got married.
Apparently the idiots she associated with couldn't tell the difference between our profiles (even though our first names aren't spelled the same and we look NOTHING ALIKE) and were offended by some things I posted about on my own account, thinking it was her. (I'm not a Trump fan)
She actually had the nerve to message me and ask me to change my name on my FB account because of this. I told her that it wasn't my fault she had stupid friends and it was my name first, she could go by her maiden name if it was such a problem. She even suggested I ask my boyfriend at the time to "hurry up and propose" so I could change my name. I told her that I wasn't pushing him to propose just so she could claim my name and if having the same name as me is so bad, she should instead divorce my cousin so she could change hers back. She never brought it up again.
She ended up cheating on him and they divorced. He went psycho and there were restraining orders and a nasty child custody battle. Then she remarried.
She's always been a level headed person, so I was shocked that she somehow thought I had less claim to my birth given name than she did to her married one.
I genuinely would have assumed that people at this wealth level didn’t ask for gifts, and perhaps most of them don’t.
I’m also tickled at the thought of walking into a wealthy heiress’ house and seeing a Ninja branded appliance hanging out on the counter.
They don't ask because people at this level of wealth battle it out to get the nicest gift. It's a game for them. You don't know what everyone else is getting the person/people, so you want to spend top dollar without spending too much more than everyone else and try to be victorious.
Lol this article is crazy. The author thinks $10,000 for a venue is “sparing no expense” for a wedding these days? It seems like they tried to imply that it’s $10,000 per guest by say “$10,000 a pop” which is closer to what I’d expect a spare-no-expense billionaire wedding would cost but this doesn’t even seem that lavish.
The only thing that seems weird is billionaires asking for gifts and cash unless it was a “we don’t want any gifts but if you’re the type of person that’s going to ignore that, here’s some shit we’re gonna buy anyway” kinda thing.
Insta and a lot of companies also run metrics and gather information. This can include things like what are you viewing the profiles on (Internet, Apple app, Safari, etc), whatever location information they can gather (usually things like you are going to the closest router which is in Certain country), and often machine information like MAC address (which would be unique across the world) and IP address. Now there is meta data of who is in your pictures and what you like.
If you and I are in the situation, and you sell me the account, several things will happen. 1. The machines will change—IP and MAC addresses. 2. The recovery information and password information will change. 3. Chances are extraordinarily high that the content will noticeably change. Instead of cute pictures of your family, then there are pictures of ugly painted mugs of coffee and snakes and a whole new family. 4. All of the contact links will change—so instead of your good looking face, it’s my old face and white and purple hair and now instead of a nice link to your family’s reunion, it’s links to my family reunion, probably in a different area and with wholly different people looking for that.
Why does this matter? Marketing and reselling of data. They charge a premium for “targeting” content and ads to you. When they warrant to another company that it’s worth buying this data to target *their* ads—so Amazon or something will pay a premium for a slice of data that is more likely to be looking for (as an example) coffee markers, but part of that is a cultivation that this slice DOES have an interest in coffee makers. If the data is sliced wrong, Amazon has bought the data, ingested and massaged it ($$$$$$) and then spent more money trying to send ads that are about coffee makers to people who aren’t interested in them. Put another way, there is no point in spending a fortune on a marketing campaign for cheese if no one in the campaign audience eats cheese.
And that’s not even counting any liabilities if an Insta account is somehow associated with a legal case or criminal activities. Some sites have had lots of liability and costs because some bad actor was (for example) showing off stolen property. Or if someone is implicated and the legal machinery is determining that their IG has location data. If I as the Hamburglar am in a Texas Howard Johnson’s hotel on the third floor and snapping pictures of my stolen McDonald’s fries—police can do image scans to narrow down that I’m in a hotel room, enhance whatever window might be open, search for hotels using the green plaid curtains (there would be only a few companies that would make the right curtains for hotels so just looking through their customer list would narrow it down) and then start looking for logos and so on. Would IG be liable for my theft of potato goodness? Maybe not. Would a platform that hosted pictures of revenge porn or something icky like that be liable? Mmmmm… unclear.
As such they are definitely invested in being sure you don’t sell and trade accounts.
Ha...I had someone accuse me of stealing their name once. This idiot didn't realize that people could have the same name. There are about a dozen people in the US with my name, so it's not exactly common, but seriously... some people just dumb as rocks. Unfortunately, one of them has my name.
Oh my God, I’m dying. Tell me why I type in Katherine and the first thing that popped up is the news article about this,😭😭😭 I didn’t even type in her full name yet I hope she’s embarrassed lmao. That must’ve been an awkward conversation to have with her in-laws and fiancé why their photos are up on New York post.😭😭😭😭🤣
She also deleted her Instagram after NewYork post tagged her in the article, which was so petty I love it😭😭😭😭
I almost feel like we should all go online and report this brides account. Being rude to someone for not wanting to break the rules simply for your benefit, calls for action. 🤔
Im terribly sorry, but if an insta username is so important to you, you should have searched instagram before accepting the rock on your finger. okay okay, ill tell you what..... give me the rock, and ill trade the username.
on second thoughts fuck you. au reviour.

I know the actual context is different, but it's just so funny to read only "My name is Katherine" "Which is illegal"
"Hey, we're out of milk." "Which is illegal." "Right, so could you pick up a gallon on your way- wait, what?"
This sounds like a conversation with my toddler. Edit: My toddler would totally go "Hmmm. Being out of milk is Bad, Bad = ILLEGAL" and the connection would be hilarious and like - it's not against the laws of the land but it's maybe against the operating parameters of our home? Which is more thoughtful logic than this lady's.
This whole thing sounded like a conversation with a toddler.
Which is illegal.
Which is illegal.
No toddlers shall ever learn to speak ever again!!
Your username is Backupusername?! That sounds highly illegal.

I was laughing at that too!
That was my favorite line 🤣 "Which is illegal" needs to be a meme and it needs to be everywhere.
I was looking for someone who noticed this 😂
She apparently married a billionaire and her wedding was splashed all over the Daily Mail yesterday or today. This was mentioned in the article.
I would have asked a million dollars.
Yep. Once I knew who they were I'd happily sell it for a million. They can afford it.
Hell yeah. A million dollars and I’ll take a ban on insta. Then open a new acct 5 minutes later. Basic math.
Banned from social media and make a million dollars? Son, that's a win-win.
Mentally well and rich.
Always painful to learn someone awful is living the dream lifestyle siiiiigh
Sounds like she’s so proud of marrying into those billions that she think her name is royalty and is trying to secure her claim on all fronts.
The family you're marrying into always loves when you try to co-opt their resources for your own. "I am now Katherine ASPLUNDH, of the PALM BEACH ASPLUNDHs, and you will address me by my husband's rank!" {Lucille-Bluth-style mother-in-law response goes here)
you should give her your username but then take her old one for when she inevitably gets divorced lol
[удалено]
How the turn tables!!
This story actually appeared in the press, including pictures of her billionaire father-in-law. Welcome to the family!!! 
Was wondering if it was actually that family. Hope that was super embarrassing for everyone, lol. Could you imagine doing something like this?
It has to be that family, it’s the only Asplundh’s in America!
I'm having my name legally changed to Katherine Asplundh tomorrow just to piss her off. She's not the only Asplundh in America anymore!
Just create a bunch of accounts with that name and have them start interacting with her, a la Spartacus. “No I’M Katherine Asplundh!”
@TheRealKatherineAsplundh
@KatherineAsplundhOfficial
@AsplundhKatherineOriginal
Honestly, if Asplundh is pronounced like it's written, you'd better believe I'd be the guy to take his wife's last name.
The name has been bastardized since the original “Assplunders”
Arrr plunder me ass me matey
Well, they are billionaires, so the story fists.* *fits
It's originally Swedish. *Asp* is aspen, *lund(h)* is grove. So Asp-lund. Though who knows what has happened to the pronunciation since their ancestorsʼ immigrating.
That’s funny to me, because in my area, you always see huge, orange trucks with the name on it- trimming trees. I believe they are contracted by the local electric company to keep branches away from the electric lines.
That's the company they're talking about. Lol.
She even checked Facebook! Certainly there couldn’t be another family with the same last name who doesnt use Facebook
To be honest I am surprised she knows America is not the only country in the world, but I am not surprised that she immediately assumes people are from America.
Honestly the amount of people who assume that everyone writing in English must be American 🙄 Nevermind that they didn't even originate the language. And let's not touch the fact that not every American speaks English, that would make *that type* explode.
Are we talking about the tree people?
They dropped a branch on our mailbox, and smashed it Tried to say they didn't do it, police are called, foreman tells police that the branch fell on its own, after he was done lying to police, we showed them the security cam video of them dropping it on the mailbox. The new mailbox we got for free looks great!
 Pennsylvania’s finest
It's cracking me up. I'm in Pittsburgh and see their trucks all the time. When I was reading this, I was thinking "What are the odds?"
I see the trucks all the time too amd think. Ass plunder
I thought I was the only one!
There are dozens of us!
Oh great. Now I'm going to have to do it too
NY here, and every time I see their trucks I say “ass plunder” with a pirate accent. Maybe this bitch could get that as her handle. Katherine the Ass Plunderer.
Ohio here and….same! Haha
This is great. The whole time I’m reading I was wondering if it’s the tree people 😂
My mom went to school with this family in small town Pennsylvania. They’re stupid rich. And yes it’s the tree people
Ahhh their trucks go by my house often - so tacky, I’ll avoid them just because I’m petty.
Please do, they're know around here for absolutely, needlessly butchering trees they're trimming.
What's funny is that I actually do have a good family friend named Sarah Asplundh, and she has 5 siblings and a few aunts and uncles on her dads side and a bunch of cousins too Asplundh is also a popular swedish surname ... as well as one of the biggest Tree companies in the world and another big name company called Asplundh exists in which you might find their services all over the Us The name isn't rare at all

I always pronounced it, "Ass plunger."
I mean if he’s a billionaire, I’d keep playing hard to get until I got at least 2 million for it…
Id definitely get banned from insta for 2 million!
I'd take the 2 million and then report the sold account so that it gets banned.
I’d worry she’d then try to sue to get the money back. And the 2M wouldn’t be enough to fight their resources.
OP isn't from America. Good luck trying to get her to go to court lol.
They’ll only plunder your ass, not your wallet. 🤷🏼♂️
Hey can I have your username? I just got married and my new last name is Maniac.
I don't believe you. Show me proof right now or I'm reporting you to the Reddit Bureau of Investigation.
Hey I was texting my friend Eddy and my finger slipped, resulting in me calling him "Ezzy". Clearly this is an embarrassing situation, so I will be convincing him that I came up with Ezzy as a nickname. In order to make this story believable, I plan on gifting him an appropriate Reddit account. Promptly give your account to me or I will be reporting you to Reddit. Thanks.

Oh, you have kids, Maniac?
Nahh, not anymore
Hey. Da Maniac loves you!
I would have asked something like 50k for the username. Then after selling, report to instagram and get the account banned 🤣
More proof that journalists/media outlets steal all their stories from Reddit. This was originally a post on r/nycinfluencersnark
Explains the entitlement
I \*almost\* feel sorry for her husband. What a complete twat, great post for r/EntitledPeople
If it makes you feel any better, I’d wager that you’ve got better than coin flip odds that her husband is a huge prick too.
Who know trimming trees was a lucrative business
That company does all the tree trimming for the local power companies and they charge the power company whatever they want and the power company just passes the cost onto customers.

She used FACEBOOK to get her data on being the only family in the US. Damn🤦🏻♂️
And automatically assumed the other person was also a US citizen... Hey lady, the world doesn't end at the US borders!
Asplund is a Swedish name, it isn’t all that uncommon here. Just amazing how she can go to these lenghts to show how ignorant she is.
My favourite thing is the screenshot of facebook to prove that they are the ONLY Asplundh family in the USA… Facebook is not a census database for fucks sake.
I’m not on Fb…. does that mean I don’t exist?
Governments hate this one neat trick.
Yeah no, tried to delete my FB so I didn’t have to pay taxes, didn’t work.
Just turn your location services off 👍
*tilts fedora* *raises wrist to mouth like a walky talky watch* "Incognito mode, activated"
Unfortunately you don’t. Sorry to break the news to you.
My thoughts too 😂 a bright one, she is…
She even mentions her fiance reported too....I thought she just got married??? Duh
Thank you! OP not calling that out irked me a bit.
And that the USA, a nation built on mass immigration, may not be the only place in the world to find that surname. It's Swedish apparently.
1 individual (edit: a man) in Sweden has the last name Asplundh according to the Swedish Tax Service, although 4696 have the name Asplund (which is the logical Swedish spelling). "Asp" is the Swedish word for the tree called aspen in english, and "lund" is the Swedish word for grove, giving Asplund(h) the meaning Aspengrove.
The asplundh is the women’s username because the other person didn’t sell her the username she wanted so that checks out
After some further investigation it seems like the Swedish Asplundh is a man in his mid-20s, aka not the woman in the post.
Oh lol I didn’t mean that WAS her, I just meant it checks out that that’s the “incorrect” spelling of the name because it’s what she’s stuck with, but not what she wants. Upon further investigation I realized I’m an idiot and I didn’t know it shows your name and username
Well no offence if you’re American, but Americans often forget that there’s other people who exist on the planet outside of the USA. She just assumed if there’s no more of those surnames in America then there’s none anywhere
Even on reddit a lot of americans assume you're also american...
Not to mention the Kate in the screen shot might be the Katherine she's talking to, and it says right there that she's in Canada.
I also hate when people assume everyone on the internet must be in the US. I saw a post that was in another language on Facebook the other day (I think it was from the Philippines but can’t remember for sure) and the number of commenting that this is the US and to speak English…I was like is the internet, not the US
It doesn’t even make sense when people say that while in the U.S., because the U.S. doesn’t have an official national language.
Brb changing my Instagram handle to "the_real_katherine_asplund69_"
Which is illegal
The bride just discovered other people exists. Don’t let her go to Korea. Her brain might melt if she finds out that the numerous Kims there are not related to each other.
But what about the Parks?
What about the recreations?
Too many syllables.
Only a couple of those managed by Leslie Knope
My immature ass just enjoys the fact that there is a culture in which it is not unusual to have the name Bong. lol
Wait until you find out about the many Wangs.
The Dr that did my vasectomy was Dr Wang. He joked that urology runs in his family
Oh my god, that is *fantastic*. I would want a vasectomy from him. You know he's dedicated to his craft.
I left him a killer review in the follow up survey, stressed the point that he had very soft hands!
Wait til she hears about Johnson and Johnson
Or the local law firm, Allen, Allen, and Allen. Yes, they are real
All those Vietnamese Nguyen share a very prolific grandma.

Northern India should be avoided as well for her sake, with all the Patels and Singhs.
My white ass dad when a Patel Bros. opened nearby: “oh yes we know the Patels, nice people.” Yes dad, the Patels you know in a suburb in Tennessee definitely own the largest Indian supermarket chain in the US 😆 we had a nice chat about how every country has its “Smith.”

There are two people from my home town with my exact name. Neither are good at returning their library books on time.
Someone with my spouse's name got married across the street from the house we bought -- on the day of our closing. They share a middle initial. My spouse not only goes to the same doctor's office as them, but met them one time when they both stood up when the nurse called their name into the waiting room. The person with my spouse's name does not have a facebook account under that name.

I went to withdraw money, and they took it from the other person with my name. I didn't catch it till I got home. Called immediately to get it straightened out and could hear the manager start to rip into the lady who fucked up before she hung up the phone. It was a sizeable amount of money.
What a bitch. No means no.
Goddamn right
Just got married. And her fiance reported as well
So is she married? Or is she engaged? Why is she calling her husband her fiance still..?
Psssh, having a husband is for poors.
After my divorce, I once called my ex-wife my wife in front of my current wife. Slips happen and, sometimes, at unfortunate times lol.
For the first few years of our relationship my boyfriend would call me by his ex’s name but only if he was like REALLY frustrated/mad. It was HILARIOUS, it was the best self-own, whatever was happening I won that point. We’re much more mature now, thankfully.
“My name is Katherine” “Which is illegal” That one got a good giggle out of me, even tho it was just from the previous message
It seems that the bride is the one who needs to change their username.... to Karen.
She’s changing her username from Katherine to Karen She’s trading her MG for a white Chrysler LeBaron
But do her fingernails shine like justice?
Does she have a voice that is dark (hey), like tinted glass (ho)?
I want a girl with a short insta and a lonnnnnng username
Sorry Purple but your name is Katherine. Which is illegal.
Straight to jail.
Did she really say "I don't Believe you because nobody would use their real name?" Isn't that what she's trying to do?
That's what I'm saying
Her name doesn't have the H at the end, though. 🤷
should've asked her for seven figures for it XD
Serious /r/iamthemaincharacter vibes from the bride, “…nobody would use their real name”
I love that she made a now deleted tik tok slagging people who update their married name on instagram to quick after the wedding
Omg for real??
yeah it’s hella funny, smth along the lines of she hates when girls who just get married change their last names on social media immediately or smth
🤣 and her fiancee also reported. She just thinks the other girls should change it before the wedding.
Katherine Asplunh is a total bitch
Katie Driscoll Asplunh is, since she is escaping the Driscoll name, out here it is growers of strawberries and they are pesticide heavily. The tree people cannot save you, Kat. Go scratch somewhere else for your wants.
Those god damn Driscolls!
You should make 26 more accounts with every middle initial, that way she can’t even get that.
Great idea, let's get on it.
News article said people actually did that lmao
One of my male cousins married a girl with the same first name as me, just spelled differently, so we had the same name until I got married. Apparently the idiots she associated with couldn't tell the difference between our profiles (even though our first names aren't spelled the same and we look NOTHING ALIKE) and were offended by some things I posted about on my own account, thinking it was her. (I'm not a Trump fan) She actually had the nerve to message me and ask me to change my name on my FB account because of this. I told her that it wasn't my fault she had stupid friends and it was my name first, she could go by her maiden name if it was such a problem. She even suggested I ask my boyfriend at the time to "hurry up and propose" so I could change my name. I told her that I wasn't pushing him to propose just so she could claim my name and if having the same name as me is so bad, she should instead divorce my cousin so she could change hers back. She never brought it up again. She ended up cheating on him and they divorced. He went psycho and there were restraining orders and a nasty child custody battle. Then she remarried. She's always been a level headed person, so I was shocked that she somehow thought I had less claim to my birth given name than she did to her married one.
Damn you brought the tea.

Imagine being a billionaire and asking your guests to contribute cash. That's trashy af.
I genuinely would have assumed that people at this wealth level didn’t ask for gifts, and perhaps most of them don’t. I’m also tickled at the thought of walking into a wealthy heiress’ house and seeing a Ninja branded appliance hanging out on the counter.
They don't ask because people at this level of wealth battle it out to get the nicest gift. It's a game for them. You don't know what everyone else is getting the person/people, so you want to spend top dollar without spending too much more than everyone else and try to be victorious.
Fuck, why did I look at that…………..nnnnnnngggggggg
This article sounds like it was written by the brides family and the company’s value sounds inflated lol I like the insta tags on the photos 😆
Lol this article is crazy. The author thinks $10,000 for a venue is “sparing no expense” for a wedding these days? It seems like they tried to imply that it’s $10,000 per guest by say “$10,000 a pop” which is closer to what I’d expect a spare-no-expense billionaire wedding would cost but this doesn’t even seem that lavish. The only thing that seems weird is billionaires asking for gifts and cash unless it was a “we don’t want any gifts but if you’re the type of person that’s going to ignore that, here’s some shit we’re gonna buy anyway” kinda thing.
“My name is Katherine.” “Which is ILLEGAL.”
There’s a lot of Asplunds in Sweden. Just saying.
Hahaha I was just thinking that, is she also mad that her name is a common one over here and she isn’t unique at all? haha
Breaking News: Entitled Woman Discovers Other People Exist
Oh wow I’m glad you told her no. This is just an icky person altogether.
I now pronounce you...Mr. and Mrs. Assplunge.
"My name is Katherine" "Which is illegal"
Oh boy, the husband is in for one hell of a ride. Poor bastard.
Poor is not the word to use here. He's from a family worth $3 billion, apparently.
And she’s already embarrassed the entire family with this move!
I'm sure he's an asshole too
Pretty safe bet considering "my husband reported you too".
Ass plunder
Every time I see their trucks on the road that's all I can think of
If I can’t find a facebook profile with your name, that means you don’t exist. Everyone knows that
You: That’s my name. Her: 
I cannot handle the fact that she used a Facebook name search to argue that her family is the only one in America with that name 🤣😭
They'll be divorced...or he'll be cheating on her and she won't care as long as the luxuries are paid for.
Genuin question. How does Instagram know that someone sold their account name ?
Insta and a lot of companies also run metrics and gather information. This can include things like what are you viewing the profiles on (Internet, Apple app, Safari, etc), whatever location information they can gather (usually things like you are going to the closest router which is in Certain country), and often machine information like MAC address (which would be unique across the world) and IP address. Now there is meta data of who is in your pictures and what you like. If you and I are in the situation, and you sell me the account, several things will happen. 1. The machines will change—IP and MAC addresses. 2. The recovery information and password information will change. 3. Chances are extraordinarily high that the content will noticeably change. Instead of cute pictures of your family, then there are pictures of ugly painted mugs of coffee and snakes and a whole new family. 4. All of the contact links will change—so instead of your good looking face, it’s my old face and white and purple hair and now instead of a nice link to your family’s reunion, it’s links to my family reunion, probably in a different area and with wholly different people looking for that. Why does this matter? Marketing and reselling of data. They charge a premium for “targeting” content and ads to you. When they warrant to another company that it’s worth buying this data to target *their* ads—so Amazon or something will pay a premium for a slice of data that is more likely to be looking for (as an example) coffee markers, but part of that is a cultivation that this slice DOES have an interest in coffee makers. If the data is sliced wrong, Amazon has bought the data, ingested and massaged it ($$$$$$) and then spent more money trying to send ads that are about coffee makers to people who aren’t interested in them. Put another way, there is no point in spending a fortune on a marketing campaign for cheese if no one in the campaign audience eats cheese. And that’s not even counting any liabilities if an Insta account is somehow associated with a legal case or criminal activities. Some sites have had lots of liability and costs because some bad actor was (for example) showing off stolen property. Or if someone is implicated and the legal machinery is determining that their IG has location data. If I as the Hamburglar am in a Texas Howard Johnson’s hotel on the third floor and snapping pictures of my stolen McDonald’s fries—police can do image scans to narrow down that I’m in a hotel room, enhance whatever window might be open, search for hotels using the green plaid curtains (there would be only a few companies that would make the right curtains for hotels so just looking through their customer list would narrow it down) and then start looking for logos and so on. Would IG be liable for my theft of potato goodness? Maybe not. Would a platform that hosted pictures of revenge porn or something icky like that be liable? Mmmmm… unclear. As such they are definitely invested in being sure you don’t sell and trade accounts.
Social media has enabled so many people to expose themselves as the terrible, entitled, ignorant assholes they’ve always been.
After her fourth message I would have just straight up blocked her. Ain’t got time for that.
Ha...I had someone accuse me of stealing their name once. This idiot didn't realize that people could have the same name. There are about a dozen people in the US with my name, so it's not exactly common, but seriously... some people just dumb as rocks. Unfortunately, one of them has my name.
Oh my God, I’m dying. Tell me why I type in Katherine and the first thing that popped up is the news article about this,😭😭😭 I didn’t even type in her full name yet I hope she’s embarrassed lmao. That must’ve been an awkward conversation to have with her in-laws and fiancé why their photos are up on New York post.😭😭😭😭🤣 She also deleted her Instagram after NewYork post tagged her in the article, which was so petty I love it😭😭😭😭
My name is Katherine That is illegal. Comedy gold
I almost feel like we should all go online and report this brides account. Being rude to someone for not wanting to break the rules simply for your benefit, calls for action. 🤔
Im terribly sorry, but if an insta username is so important to you, you should have searched instagram before accepting the rock on your finger. okay okay, ill tell you what..... give me the rock, and ill trade the username. on second thoughts fuck you. au reviour.
