a ITA for breaking up with BF because of how he dresses I 23f nearly broke up
with my boyfriend 24 a few days ago after my birthday dinner I know
everybody has their own style and can dress how they want but this did the
last straw for me I'm aware there's certain trends of couples going out and
the woman being dressed up and the man being in a tracksuit we've had some
situations like that and it really annoyed me sometimes we'd go out and
he'll be wearing his favorite pair of jeans which are the most disgusting
thing on earth ripped blue denim but not proper denim you know what denim I'm
talking about he'll wear it with the top of any color the jeans get tight to the
bottom and it looks horrible and when he zips up his big coat well he looks like
a minion he has those jeans in a few colors and whenever he tells me to dress
up I'm aware he will be wearing a pair of those I can't stand it anymore I've
told him I've tried to take him shopping I've tried to expand his style in my
opinion look amazing in straight cut trousers more simple patterns Etc his
clothes don't compliment him at all I was so happy when one pair of his jeans
ripped a few days ago it was my birthday dinner and he said he's taking me to a
fancy restaurant and look nice I put on a nice dress and high heels he came to
pick me up and he was wearing the jeans with a bright green football top I
wanted to collapse we got to the restaurant and everyone was wearing
shirts and nice trousers and nice coats Etc he was there in a football shirt I
felt so embarrassed and he told me to dress up I understand I sound like an
absolute but I think there's certain places and times to wear certain
clothes I could have turned up in a sweatshirt too anyway I ate as fast as
possible thanked him for dinner and we went home he asked if I want to do
something after I simply said no I'm at the point I feel embarrassed I feel
horrible that I do but I can't help it I'm sure I have clothes that he doesn't | give me a good story on Aitahforbreakingupwithbfbecauseofhowhedressesaitaredditredditstoriesaskreddit |

a it ta for not enabling my adult daughter and telling her that I am not
paying any more of her tuition unless she can give me the time of day and show
me some respect I want to start off by saying that I have done everything for
my children I was there at the hospital for their births signed the birth
certificates I changed diapers and always provided them with food and
designer clothes but my ex is extremely manipulative and has tried to turn my
children against me since day one she manipulated my older daughter who refuse
to talk things out with me I will still forgive her once she finally decides to
snap out of my ex's manipulations and come back to me me and my younger
daughter Sarah had a great relationship until she suddenly flipped the switch in
her senior year and also was poisoned against me when Sarah was applying for
college I really didn't want her to go far because she is book smarts but lacks
common sense and I didn't want her to fall for scams I even offered to buy her
a car if she lived with me and commuted to a local school but Sarah just said
that the local programs didn't have what she wanted I found it insulting because
I went to a local college and despite what my ex thinks I am Highly Educated
without some PhD Sarah did not listen to my input at all her and my my ex barely
involved me in her college application process my ex was extremely unhelpful I
would just ask basic questions like tuition since I was going to spend
considerable funds and she would either send website links it would have only
taken a few seconds for her to just answer the question so I can stay in the
loop about what's going on but this was just part of my ex's way of turning
Sarah against me Sarah enrolled at an out of-state college and I didn't even
find out until May because my ex didn't bother telling me I didn't even get to
see Sarah off at the airport since she didn't tell me she'd left until after
she was already gone I constantly text Sarah asking how things are going I sent
her funny posts on Facebook and asked her to call me I even offered to split
the cost of plane fair so Sarah could visit over the holiday she only responds
on email and it's always her saying she's too busy I am frustrated and tired
of that she is taking a lot of classes right now but I'm her father and it
would only take a second of her day to just text me back or talk to me on the
phone for 5 minutes I have supported and
been providing for Sarah since day one I am done being disrespected when I have
bent over backwards for 18 years to give
her everything and have sent $7,000 just this year for her schooling I could be
doing a million other things with that money maybe I am at fault for enabling
it for so long but not anymore I sent an email telling her that I am done with
being disrespected and if she can't even give me the time of day then my ex can
find someone else to split the cost of her schooling with I sent the email over
two hours ago and there's been no response I know my wording might seem
harsh but I am just so done with being disrespected AIT | give me a good story on AITAFornotenablingmyadultdaughterandtellingherthatIamnotpayinganymoreofhertuitionorig |

today we've got a crazy entitled parent
story of a mom who thinks their kid owes them time we'll get into that in a bit
but first entitled mother snatches my phone out of my hand because I wouldn't
let her son play games on it I didn't know they made those in Canada too for
context I'm a Young University student I have two phones one of which is an old
Huawei model that I use for school and work it's quite slow but has all my
authenticator apps for school years of notes the email I use for work and my
work number on it it runs okayish well but is horrible in terms of processing
speed and storage yet I'm a lazy crap and keep putting off transferring all
the data to make my future self's life easier my second phone on the other hand
is a newer iPhone 14 pro Max model and it has all my games friend contacts
social media Etc on them this occurred back when classes were still in session
but reading all these stories jotted my memory and now I finally have time to
share it too everything is still so vividly detailed in my head that I
basically can't get it out since everything was so absurd anyways onto
the story onto the bus I go a normal ride for me which I take every day I
take two connections one which is an express bus from the University to a sky
train station and the second from the sky Train Station to the home the second
bus is where I encounter this entitled parent I sit down at the back of the bus
where I always sit and a woman who's on her phone and talking very loudly gets
on the bus with a noisy kid who be screaming and crying and throwing a
hissy fit for God knows why I sigh realize it it's going to be one of those
rides and try to ignore the commotion little did I know the little one has
climbed up next to my seat and staring at my screen while her mother is nearly
5 seats away still in heated conversation about God knows what out of
nowhere I hear a do you have any games on your phone I spin around and there he
is this little kid perhaps seven or eight is gazing deep into my soul on his
knees on the seat and inches from my face I lean back because well I don't
function well with people up in my face and this kid leans closer foolishly I
reply yeah can I play on it I say no go away they say but I'm bored I reply I
don't care go away the kid pouch and runs off I thought that was the end of
it then a shadow looms over me I hear an
hem then again I try to ignore it but it was like an unskippable boss fight
cutscene then out of the corner of my ear young man I look up great it's the
crazy lady I say yeah why did you tell my son he couldn't use your phone I say
because it's my phone you kids are always glued to the screen these days
you can do without it for a single bus ride at this point I am stunned so I
don't respond for a few seconds then slowly reply what I do with my phone is
none of your business this lady recoils in shock and anger as if I just buried a
puppy alive how dare you talk to me like that show some respect she then sees my
second phone my work phone and says you have two phones just give them one you
can use the other one I say no lady I'm not giving some stranger kid my phone
she says but you don't need two phones lady I was annoyed at this point and my
tone was starting to get aggressive it doesn't matter that I have two phones
they are my phones I won't be giving them to your son no means no she rolls
her eyes and walks away her son screaming and clutching the leg of her
pants I tune out the commotion once more stricken with disbelief and still
wondering what in the world just happened open up some offline games to
decompress I thought that was the end of everything how foolish I was I feel a
tug on my backpack as I zone out I instinctively look for my screen and
this little piece of crap is under the seat reaching into my bag trying to pull
out my second phone I panic smack his hand away and Shout what the freak are
you doing now I'm a normally very calm and reserved person however having
served six full years in the Royal Canadian Army Cadets and currently being
a drill instructor my voice was loud when I wanted it to be the kid wines and
cowers freezing for a solid moment before crawling out from under the seat
and runs to his mother crying I sigh to myself yep she's back before the kid
even reaches her she's up and storming over how dare you speak to my son like
that I said you're your son tried to steal my phone she says let him have it
stop being a brat you can stay off your phone for a moment it's not that big of
a deal I was seething with a rage boiling with anger without skipping a
beat I spat back well if it's not such a big deal how about you let him have
yours that way you can keep an eye on your little precious angel and start
being a responsible parent for once your
kid being bored is not my responsibility she turned red and demanded are you
calling me a bad parent and I responded with if you were such a good parent your
kid wouldn't be off trying to steal other people's stuff now our shouting
match had drawn quite a commotion I had heard a few oo and Dangs from the back
of the bus she grew visibly red and snatched my phone from my hand not my
work phone the one in my hand she said give me that you brats don't deserve
these I was stunned for a second that she actually did something so incompr
insensibly stupid looking back I knew I should have done something better but I
sprang up wrestled my phone from her grasp and knocked her down in the
process crap hits the fan she starts wailing like a banshee screaming that I
assaulted her her son is crying and he's punching me in the legs the bus
screeches to a halt and the driver comes running up now seeing the situation me
towering over the screeching mother and holding a phone he assumes that I was
the perpetrator this is quite had a long
bus joined together with two sections so I assumed that he hadn't heard or saw
exactly what was happening only noticing the commotion in his rear mirror and
seeing me knock Karen down after snatching the phone from her grasp so he
says sir return that device at once and leave the premises or I will be forced
to call the po before he can even finish the sentence the entire bus explodes
with several other passengers speaking up at once defending my case and telling
the driver what had actually happened the driver held up his hand backed up
and tried to get everyone to calm down which took quite a while especially
because the Karen kept screaming that she was going to have me arrested that
she was going to sue me that she was going to press charges Etc once
everything finally calms down I begin to speak however the Karen interjects with
sir he stole my phone from me I demand to have this insert racial slur arrested
the driver replies ma'am please don't use that language here he looks like he
is about to say something else but I sigh and hold up my hand and in the most
calm voice I can muster in the moment reply sir this phone is mine if you will
allow me I will unlock it I hold up the phone it's got an anime wallpaper on it
certainly not something middle-aged women with children would have I type in
the password and the screen is unlocked the Karen starts screeching again he saw
me type in my password that's how he knows lady a clearly annoyed man in the
back speaks up in a booming voice there are cameras on the bus everything is
recorded At The Mention Of cameras she turns white as a sheet then without
skipping a beat she drags her crying son to the back door and begins pounding on
it demanding that she be let out all while screaming obscenities and
threatening that she's going to sue that she's going to fire the complaint with
Transit blah blah blah that wasn't even it in the commotion despite threatening
to by the Karen someone had actually called the cops right on Q so two
officers roll up to the bus with flashing lights the Karen throws herself
at the officers as they're let in and starts spinning some Saab story when
she's cut off at once by a very annoyed police officer this was something like 8
at night and was probably nearing the end of his shift or something because he
had an expression like he was absolutely
done long story short the bus was halted for something like an hour and 45
minutes a second one pulled up which all the other passengers filed off into not
before giving a witness's statement the camera feed was pulled and Karen was
placed into the back of a cruiser after she slapped a police officer one says
that they arrived because there was a report of someone being assaulted on
public transport the police get my contact information my ID Etc and tells
me that they'll contact me if anything else needs to be done I have no idea
what happened to the kid because I didn't stick around for the aftermath
and just wanted to get the heck out of there the worst part my parents who were
always always displeased with me coming at home late unfortunately did not
believe my story they thought it was an excuse so after hearing that story is it
wrong of me and is it outlandish for me to say she should not be a parent
somebody who was acting like that in public being a literal Menace not caring
about other people she should not be in charge of raising shaping or even trying
to keep alive another human snooping feline wrote this goes beyond entitled
parents and veers into mental illness probably both I would have found it hard
not to smack her and boot that brat 50 yards away also hi I'm Steven and if you
guys enjoy crazy stories of entitled parents why not hit those like And
subscribe buttons down below that said our next story is my parents are
thinking I'm addicted to screens when I'm not so for some backstory basically
my mom and stepdad hate games and all of
that and are absolute control freaks and I play games just to talk to friends I
can't see much now what took place recently is that out of the blue one day
they decided to take me to a neurologist
even though I had lectures and they told me the college wanted me to go there
even though I didn't buy the story at all and then when we got there I asked
why is the college making me do this again and they said they didn't at all
make me go here and that's when I knew something was up since the info they
were telling me was going against one another and I said I thought the college
told me to go here and then the neurologist walked in and called for me
and after doing some tests and everything it turns out it was all about
my screens the whole time even though I'm hardly even on them and next thing I
know I'm having everything taken and the
next thing I know I can't see my friends for two months and then I get my stuff
back and I'm getting my Wi-Fi which I pay for being restricted along with my
TV being restricted by a weird wood box thing that the TV cord leads to and I
figure out that the Box controls the power to the TV and the only way I can
get the TV cord out of the box is with a Phillips head screwdriver which I don't
have and I don't live on campus since I just don't like how small it is in the
dorms so I live at home for now but when I get back from college for the weekend
I notice all my electronics except for my phone and laptop are missing since I
had my phone and laptop with me and I go to ask where the heck my stuff is and
they tell me to look in the office and there's all my stuff all plugged in and
I ask why the heck my stuff was moved and they say because I was on it last
night even though I definitely wasn't for a fact and I say ball and they can
even check my profile on Steam to see when I was last on since I have two
accounts I play on and I was on one the other day and they said that I was lying
and that my stuff isn't going back in my room no matter what so now I can't even
have any privacy anymore it seems I hate
my parents like I get it limiting screen time is good for kids growing up but
when your college age and you're old enough to be able to make that decision
for yourself it's pretty ridiculous and once op is able to move out on their own
hopefully assuming they're going to be able to at some point that's just how
you have kids who make sure they keep their distance Shadow Fox wrote maybe
it's better to move into the dorms seems like your parents think your grades
could be better as that's the usual excuse they give time to do some PC
games instead don't they understand most college work is on a laptop and need
internet our next story is burnt out 22 I live with my grandparents and they
refuse to use AC in school scorching Texas it gets very hot in the house 80
plus with 77% humidity yes I'm trying to move out something I can't afford right
now I do fully support myself AKA full-time job and help with bills buy
all my own groceries Etc but it does greatly affect my health in these
conditions my grandparents are in their 70s my Grandma has a range of health
problems from COPD asthma and a heart condition she States since she's old
lady with health problems she gets what she wants in this house she is cold all
the time even when it's over a hundred outside the house gets up to 81° with a
humidity of 77% it gets even hotter when I try to
cook Kitchen reads at 83° with 77% plus humidity I have offered to pay the
entirety of the electricity bill each month so we can have a bit of AC but
they won't allow me to pay for it they said no AC Allowed no fans allowed
including ceiling fan and no windows to be opened no air flow or movement
whatsoever in the house ever any chocolate candy Etc melts within hours
once you bring it into the kitchen literally brought some chocolate donuts
home from Walmart one day and within hours the frosting it completely melted
off of them and slid off the donuts and was just a big pool of frosting in the
box that's legit not normal indoors I do try to turn it on when they leave to go
to the store or out to eat Etc that's maybe one a week or so I only put it on
76 or 77 so not even crazy low but when they get home she somehow is able to
tell if the AC's been on even when I turn it back off before they get home
and she'll walk in the door and freak and start saying did you turn on the AC
I told you no AC is allowed in this house and then threatens to kick me out
to the streets because I turned on the AC she said no one uses AC like this I
told her literally yes they do especially in Texas everyone runs AC but
she claims people don't use it though she's been complaining that her pastor
turns on the AC in church and she said she was going to ask him if he can start
turning it off for her and not use it she also likes to have all the blinds
open in the entire house so the sun just beams in all day long to the point even
the kitchen table will be hot to the touch from the sun beaming on it she
doesn't allow for Windows to be open either she said it makes her asthma act
up I have with her mom I purchased to monitor the temp and humidity in the
house it gets dangerously hot I've tried showing her articles that this type of
temperature and humidity in the house can cause mold to grow and actually can
cause effect SL woren her breathing conditions but she said she doesn't care
and it's not true I understand her conditions and medication may make her
cold but she refuses to put on a coat sweater Etc and instead just refuses to
use any AC ironically in the winter she blasts the heater non-stop runs about
every 15 minutes on 80° air gets so dry I have very bad nose bleeds but in
summer she starts to say she can't afford air conditioning I offer to pay
the electricity bill she refuses she said she's not going to allow me to
control the house and that no AC is allowed in this household I tell her
it's funny she has heater money all winter but no AC money the humidity in
the house also causes the sewer to smell it's septic tank here and the hotter it
gets outside and the hotter it is in the house the bathroom reeks of poo it also
affects my health from constantly sweating last year I finally bought an
AC unit to place in my room they didn't want me to get one but I now work from
home fulltime and there was no way I can sit in this house all day working in
these conditions I have very bad body acne in which I've tried every body was
trying to clear it up but it doesn't I also get boils from sweating constantly
it's extremely embarrassing I also tend to get lightheaded and I do try to stay
hydrated but from sweating so much it's hard it's also affected my weight as
it's almost impossible to cook because turning the oven on makes it 10 times
hotter I have gained so much weight since working from home the last year
cooking on the stove I literally will have sweat dripping into my eyeballs
sweat dripping down my back and my shirt ends up wet with sweat even sitting at
the kitchen table to eat is almost unbearable especially with the sun
beaming in therefore I eat fast food mostly every day during the summer which
has caused me to gain a ton of weight I do try to cook in my air fryer but she
gets super mad when I get it out cuz she says it's too big and bulky she
complains that I'm gaining weight and says that I need to eat healthier yeah I
would love to but I literally can't because of her I love to cook and wish I
could but I literally start to feel physically ill when cooking because of
how hot the kitchen gets my grandpa her husband of 47 years says since she has
health problems we do as she says he said they both grew up without air
conditioning so it's not needed I worry for all our health even the dog's health
she is always convinced that the dog is cold and will put his winter sweater on
him when he goes outside and it'll be in the upper 70s outside she said the dog
is a lot like her and stays cold I told her literally no he's not when a family
comes to visit they tell her it's hot but her resp response always is she
feels fine she says if people don't like it then they can just not come visit
then I've had some friends come over who
literally end up leaving because it's so hot they can't take it anyways I guess
I'm just here to vent and just hope I can move out in the near future I
definitely think Grandma here has some actual medical issues going on I live in
a climate where you almost always want to have AC going and in plenty of places
in Texas I can totally understand you know it's 80° with 70 plus humidity
ideally you would probably want at least
like low to mid 70s I legitimately think if I were an OP situation I would
probably end up getting myself kicked out of there and I would make it my
life's mission to move out because when I'm frustrated and I'm overheated and
there's no way to cool down I think I would just be prone to blowing up Shadow
Fox wrote old people can feel cold it's due to them having bad circulation
issues just run an AC unit in your room room and stay more in your room sucks
but at this point she won't change your mind it could also be a tactic to make
sure you move out our next story is mom thinks I owe her my time and can read
minds let's start with saying that I have autism and ADHD both diagnosed by
professionals and the ADHD part was re-evaluated three times and the autism
was confirmed after I demanded a second opinion I am no contact with my dad he
is a diagnosed narcissist however I had a regular contact with my mom before I
got pregnant in the fall of 2021 since we my partner and I have gone low
contact my mom loves talking about how she raised us since I got pregnant like
how I at 3 and A2 while she was arresting from surgery aesthetic she had
my grandmother take us to daycare for four weeks and how in week two I gave my
grandmother the tricks of how my mom wrangled my brothers who would take off
their snow gears while the other was getting dressed 2-year-old twins the
trick was dressing me first and putting me on the balcony in a high crime area
of town closing the door behind me to not let the cold air in dressing one of
the boys putting him on the balcony for me to watch and taking care of the other
before putting him on the balcony too dressing herself and taking them down
the three flights of stairs which didn't have child safety gates to the car with
me following she reminds me every few months to this day how her and my
grandmother were disappointed in me and resentful for not telling my grandmother
sooner or when she took us to get our pictures taken at Sears and we were
being toddlers I think I was five touching everything and me randomly
screaming a stem I used to have when I was overwhelmed she kept telling us to
sit and be quiet but we wouldn't do it so after 15 minutes she said she lost
patience left the photographer's waiting area took us to the parking where she
proceeded to hit us bare bottom one after the other until she was certain we
would remember the pun punishment for days to come she confirmed it was about
us feeling the pain for days she laughs about how painful her hands were and how
she had feared at the time that someone would call my country's equivalent of
CPS on her she laughs even harder remembering that when my dad asked how
our day went I allegedly said we got a lot of slaps and no pictures she is
proud to say that when we went back the next day we were the picture perfect
kids and how many compliments she got on how her good behavior or how often she
beat my brother's butt until it bruised for climbing furniture or how I would
make myself severely sick to not eat the
food she cooked I have sensory issues so many more stories of me either being
parentified including leaving me alone for 4 months with my brothers when I was
15 I had to pay for groceries for all three of us with my own money or me and
my siblings being abused it terrifies me that she could do something similar to
my son because she is not at all regret spring her actions but she thinks
they're funny stories from our childhood including denying us food for days on
end in the last few years my mental health has been very poor medication is
difficult due to allergies and side effects and therapy takes the time it
needs but I am better so in the last few weeks my ergotherapy has put a plan in
place to help me regain more independence energy and physical
wellness it's hard takes 4 to 8 hours a day and I am exhausted by the end of it
my psychologist is all for it my partner
is 100% behind me encouraging me helping
where he can it's going well but because
of it I haven't been very social I don't reach out to anyone I'm in bed by 9:00
every night at the latest my mom never reaches out first but apparently she
didn't like that I didn't answer her text at last night so she called
today at noon at first it was just small talk how am I blah blah blah I remind
her that I'm doing the airo plan to get me back on track she brushed it off no
surprise she doesn't believe that my mental health is poor hers is worse and
she doesn't get or need that much help good for her but she hasn't worked a day
in over 20 years lives on disability and I've done all the hard things for her
until I gave birth and even a few days after including playing armchair
psychologist while I wanted to get back in the workforce and get better where
I'll need minimal help in my day-to-day life so she tells me about how she had
to cook that hand am she got for Easter that I didn't come and eat with her my
son had a respiratory infection severe enough that we could barely keep his
asthma in check we had packed a go bag just in case we needed to take him to
the hospital again she lives an hour away by car or an hour and 20 minutes
away from the Children's Hospital why she didn't keep the ham in her freezer a
bit longer I don't know but it apparently needed to be cooked today she
proceeded to ask me to come get what she wouldn't eat I reminded her that my
husband has the car at work and that I'm doing my plan plus using transits she's
at least 2 hours away and that's if all the bus transfers are perfect and I
don't need to wait more than 10 minutes between them I don't have the time or
energy to do this so I tell her sorry it's not possible she then said that
it's okay she would just bin all the food at this point I'm drained and say
that I don't know what she wants me to say she says wow call me when you want
to see me and hung up 3 minutes later I get a text from her that I'll translate
for you guys you know I have little things for my son you could have just
told me that I could have come for a little while by she never comes to my
house she never offers to make my life easier by doing anything for me she
never hinted at the fact that she would be willing to come she knows I don't get
social clues or nice actions she knows I don't read minds and that I'm very bad
at guessing what people want from me she
is so passive aggressive always has been
if I'm honest but it's getting worse she she's ticked when I don't make her a
priority she's ticked I don't let her babysit in my son well she says her son
like I'm just the incubator who keeps the toddler until she wants him she's
not allowed unsupervised near my child she's ticked when I let other people
babysit him she's ticked when I don't call her every day she's ticked when I
don't take care of things for her despite knowing that to prioritize her I
was living a very unhealthy life my needs are always last she started doing
the same to my husband and it bothered me when I realized it but it still
didn't really click it really started to click how entitled she was with my time
and resources when I was pregnant I had a very high-risk pregnancy due to a lot
of complications and the whole time she kept saying she didn't understand why I
had so little energy or why I was so sick because when she was pregnant with
me insert whatever she did felt or how she acted it clicked when a week after I
gave birth despite her having been there
for the birth after she and insisted she wanted me to visit her and that she was
disappointed that I said no to go back to the hospital to treat my son's severe
jaundice instead you could have just come for an hour or so and delay by 4
hours my son's treatment it clicked when she wanted me to bring my son to her so
she could cuddle my child but be of no other help it clicked when she kept
telling me to stop pumping milk and just buy formula for him it would be easiest
when my son needed a very specific very expensive formula formula we couldn't
really afford well I didn't breastfeed any of you and you turned out fine but
today it's so evident how entitled she is how without asking she expected me to
drop everything and go to her for food and how I should have just guessed that
I should tell her to visit when she never does even when offered she never
comes but today I should have guessed that she would my partner reminds me
that no I can't read mines and no I couldn't have guessed but he he's at
work and I'm overwhelmed tired and defeated I feel like I'm asking too much
to want just one parent in my corner I think it's why I still have any contact
with her I feel sad I need a dent if you
have any questions don't hesitate to ask
honestly the only question I have is why they still continue to put up with that
I'm just wondering what the breaking point is for op where they realize you
know what this isn't worth it you know send a text where you lay out how
exactly you feel how exactly you feel they've let you down and how unless
their next reply is an apology and how they want to try to do better that you
won't be replying or something like that I mean really how much more is worth it
I think op is only still going on just because of all the years of being
parentified and conditioned but with that being said that's all the time we
have for today now if you want to hear another absolutely crazy entitled parent
story check out that video on the left or if you missed my latest video check
out that video on the right that's it I'll see you all next time with some

a ITA for refusing to let my mother or father-in-law look after my daughter
anymore I 32f have a daughter 6 months with my husband 34m my husband is from a
culture where it's not uncommon to pierce baby girls ears his mother
started pestering me about getting my daughter's ears pierced from a few days
after she was born I made it clear that I would not be doing that and that I'd
be waiting until she's old enough to ask for it herself I don't think it's
relevant but we live in my country where piercing baby ears isn't common at all
it's not illegal but it's certainly not common my mother-in-law was looking
after her at the weekend and decided to pierce them without my knowledge or
consent when I saw this I through a fit she was crying in pain and I actually
took her to the doctor to get their advice on whether or not to take them
out our family doctor removed them as they were clearly bothering her I
decided at that moment that my mother-in-law and everyone else on that
side of the family except for my sister-in-law who's on my side about
this is going to have no alone contact with my daughter ever again or at least
until she's a teenager My worry is that she'll do the same thing again and to be
frank she's lost my trust entirely I also told her that if she had a problem
with that I'd report what she did to the police my husband is on my side but he
doesn't think it's as big of a deal as I'm making it out to be am I being
unreasonable | give me a good story on AITAforrefusingtoletmymotherorfatherinlawlookaftermydaughteranymoreaita |

I told my GF I'd rather break up than do something in bed we've been together
since senior year of college and have talked about marriage we're not exactly
sexually adventurous just normal stuff but we've been trying a few more things
lately she said that she really wants to try pegging she said we've already done
anal so I shouldn't be too opposed except we only did it because she wanted
I can take it or leave it I told her that I would never agree to pegging and
she'll just have to forget about it she bought a strap on to try to convince me
it wasn't that big of a deal no Kink shaming but I have no interest and don't
want to try she said that if I don't do it she'll never be able to experience it
I half jokingly told her if she keeps pushing it she'll be free to experience
it with whoever she wants she stared to cry should I just do it because she
wants or should she respect my decision and drop it edit a bit of context we
were both raised in Evangelical churches and have since left what's adventurous
to us is pretty tame to many it's also why we have difficulty discussing
consent and boundaries update thank you to everyone
that took the time to comment and share advice it really helped me brief summary
from the original My GF tried pressuring me into letting her Peg me we got in a
huge fight here's the update we broke up nah JK she's next to me on the couch
bugging me to rub her feet I guess she hasn't learned anything about consent
the real update is positive especially for our relationship a lot has happened
I took ad from the comments to have a conversation about boundaries consent
and focusing on things we are both comfortable exploring she agreed it was
a good idea we were really naive and unprepared for all this we thought we
could figure it out as we went she asked
if I was willing to share the websites I was finding this info so she could read
them too I told her that I posted it on Reddit actually lucky I did since
someone made a Tik Tock about my post that she saw and she probably didn't
want to see it the comments were universally against against her she
asked me to show her anyway she read the post and some of the comments she said
she knew that she was wrong but was a little surprised by how negatively
people reacted to her I asked why she cried and it was because she was upset I
would even joke about breaking up she wasn't trying to manipulate me by crying
she thought we were just having a conversation I told her she wasn't
listening to me and how uncomfortable I was I was trying to find an exit ramp
for the conversation not seriously talking about breaking up I also
apologized because I was wrong to joke like that she admitted she wasn't
sensitive to my boundaries and was just focused on what she wanted she
recognizes that behavior is really toxic and she would think I was an ass yes
that's a pun if I kept ignoring her boundaries she also apologized for
buying the toy and agreed it was manipulative one commenter suggested a
yes/ no/ maybe list this advice has made a world of difference we found some
examples that helped us create our own we agreed to be honest no judgment and
not to pressure the other person on anything they put no or maybe on we
agreed the list was just for discussion it didn't imply consent we would discuss
everything and we are free to change our minds at any time if you're wondering I
marked pegging as no for me and she checked yes she will not bring it up
again unless I change my response but I'm glad she was honest there is still
some awkwardness surrounding sex enjoying it exploring it and even
talking about it we're giving each other Grace and allowing for mistakes and
misunderstandings there are plenty of things we're both willing to do right
now not to mention just regular weekday sex is pretty great the rest of the
update is about our future not really related to the original post when we
were having our discussions about sex and communication we also started
talking about our relationship with each other Jesus and church we realized we
missed belonging to a church Community but wanted to find one that fits our
Valu not our parents we found a nice Church my family would call it Church
light we've just stared going and they're very welcoming and the people
are very nice and accepting one of the reasons we joined was we wanted to be
married in a church that's right we're engaged we were already thinking of
marriage but these last few months we've
really solidified our commitment to each other and our future together she told
her parents and they didn't give us their blessing we were expecting that
her parents are very traditional they won't visit us because we lived together
and made it clear the last time we visited them they don't approve of us
and our views my fiance GF at the time told her sisters she was on birth
control and also said they should get the HPV vaccine they are adults and can
make their own choices but her parents
don't see it that way that caused a [ __ ]
storm we weren't invited to Christmas we told her parents we will invite them to
the wedding and it's their decision to attend or not her siblings are happy for
us and said they will be at the wedding my parents were happy they aren't as
strict about things although I can't deny the fact I'm their son not daughter
plays a part in it my mom just wants us to have kids so she can be a grandmother
I know my fiance wanted her mom to be involved in the wedding planning dress
shopping and all that and for her dad to give her away she's really disappointed
and we're hoping they change their minds but we're not expecting them to we
aren't going to have a big wedding since we're paying for it all but it will be
what we want and it's for us not anyone else my 26m fiance 24f is reconsidering
our relationship over a sandwich next month we'll have been together for 3
years we have been living together for 11 months and I proposed 5 months ago
this situation is absolutely absurd to me a couple of weeks ago my 26m fiance
24f asked me to get takeaway because she
was too tired to cook she's an A&E nurse
and was still recovering in after having
had Corona virus caught from the Ward at work I went to Gregs after work I had a
voucher where I would get a second free sandwich identical to my first order I
ordered us tuna crunch baguettes I forgot that she's allergic to several
types of fish and shellfish including tuna it was an honest mistake on my part
but she flipped out I offered to cook for her I was going to let it go because
she was just getting over being ill but she was still mad the next day and left
our flat to go stay with one of her mates besides the tuner she was also
upset that I couldn't recite her usual Gregs order by heart or her order from
another one of our regular takeaways even though she knew mine she has a
better memory than I do because she needs it for her work she hasn't
returned and says she's reconsidering our relationship over a sandwich she
says the sandwich is just a symptom but that's absurd I made a mistake
forgetting her allergy but I don't believe it's something to end the
relationship over she was disappointed when I got home and told her what
sandwiches I bought but I didn't think it would be something she'd leave over
my family and even my mates say I'm right and this is absurd for her to be
reconsidering because of a sandwich the one time I spoke to her since she left
she says her family all agrees with her our lease is up at the end of next month
and she told me to go ahead without her if I want to stay in our flat I do love
her I want to marry her it's completely absurd to me that I'm in this situation
and I cannot believe it | give me a good story on ItoldmyGFIdratherBREAKUPthandosomethinginbed |

aita saying I will not spend Father's Day with my stepfather instead of my dad
my parents divorced 10 years ago my mom got remarried 8 years ago for the last 3
years I 17m have lived with my dad and I spend one week in a month at my mom's
house before that it was 50/50 but regardless of the custody split I always
spent Mother's Day with my mom and Father's Day with my dad that didn't
change just because she got remarried but this year my mom is planning a
special day out of my stepfather and he wants me to spend Father's Day with him/
them which includes my four half siblings I said no my stepfather told me
I always spend Father's Day with my dad and I live with him now and hardly see
him and my mom and this is a big year because it's the first year with our
completed family and the last one before I'm finished high school and I should
invest in time with my family but especially him because I never let him
in as a second dad and always treat him like he's just my mom's husband he went
on and on about how much he wants to connect with me and to feel like I
appreciate him as a fatherly presence in my life he told me the day would be fun
too so it's not like he's dragging me fishing or to sit watching paint dry he
told me I could easily celebrate both of
them just on different days and my dad's plans are always easier to do another
day but this special day out relies on certain Father's Day activities I kept
saying no I didn't reconsider | give me a good story on AITAsayingIwillnotspendFathersDaywithmystepfatherinsteadofmydad |

what's the stupidest thing you've ever heard anyone say I once found a big
Bulldog in my backyard I don't own a bulldog he was a big friendly but
slow-witted guy he looked healthy and had a collar but no tag so I knew he was
a local I made sure he had water and went to the front yard to start knocking
on doors as soon as I stepped outside I saw the family three houses down all
gathered in their front yard so another case closed for our young detective I
walked over to them and said you guys missing a bulldog the mother looked at
me and said is his name Tyson the question took me aback I mean he didn't
have tags they knew he didn't have tags so all I could think to say was he
didn't say but I'm pretty sure he's yours to this day I wonder if that woman
knew how dumb that question was | give me a good story on Whatsthestupidestthingyouveeverheardanyonesay |

AIT for making a no vaping rule in my apartment so sorry if this is a weird
thing to ask I've just had mixed reactions to this from my friends so why
not ask total strangers online I have an apartment with one other roommate for
school we both 22m hate the smell of things like carts Vapes cigarettes Etc I
also personally hate anything with nicotine because of how addictive it is
I've seen what it does to people and personally I just don't want that stuff
in my house since none of our friends smoke cigarettes or vape we never really
made a rule about it well my spring break was last week and my younger
sister 21f came to visit for a weekend she kept hitting her Vape it was like it
was just second nature for her to grab the thing and take a hit I asked her to
stop because the smell was bothering me and while she apologized she kept
getting defensive about hitting it so much because she can't just go cold
turkey for a weekend honestly that's fair while I've never experienced
withdrawal from nicotine I have experienced withdrawal from some
anti-depressants and it's horrible I'd never wish that onto anyone but because
it was still bothering me I went to my roommate about adding no vaping to our
official house rules he was cool cool with it because we both don't like
having that stuff in our space since we agreed to add that I texted my sister
the text was brief and I just explained that if she came to visit again this
semester she couldn't Vape here anymore well she blew up at me about it she
reminded me that withdrawal is horrible and so she can't just give it up for a
weekend to see me she also said that it's not that big of a deal and that
she'll just use it in the bathroom if it bugs me that much her reaction honestly
just made me want to enforce the rule further but at the same time I feel bad
because I'm basically forcing her to stop doing something just because I
don't like it I'm not trying to be some Guardian Angel helping people and their
nicotine addiction nor am I asking her to stop vaping completely I don't want
to not allow my sister into my apartment
over some flavored air I just don't want that trash in my apartment I later went
to some friends and their responses are mixed a few of my friends said stuff
along the lines of how I'm just setting a boundary similar to someone who
doesn't drink asking his guests not to drink only while they are in his home
but other friends are saying that I'm trying to force my opinions on vaping
onto my sister or I'm trying to force her to quit vaping that's not what I
want to do though we're both adults and while I'm not happy she Vapes it's not
my place to act all high and mighty she's her own person and she can do what
she wants I just don't want some things to happen in my house so AIT for not
allowing vaping in my apartment edit my sister is more than welcome to step
outside I didn't think of it as an option because I'm worried it's
unreadable to ask since I live on the fifth floor of my building second edit I
just checked my lease and smoking of any kind is not permitted anywhere on the
property thank you all for reminding me to check that | give me a good story on AITAformakingaNoVpingruleinmyapartment |

AIT for expecting more than one bite of
a meat cake I spent 4 hours preparing my partner Pat 33m and I 33f have been
living together for a few years I am the more culinary inclined person so if we
are cooking something from scratch I do most of it with Pat acting as my Sue
chef and cleaning helper one of Pat's longtime co-workers recently accepted a
new job offer and is leaving the office so Pat and his co-workers decided to
throw a goodbye party Pat asked what kind of cake this coworker wanted and
they answered meat so Pat decided to make him a meatloaf cake frosted with
mashed potatoes and adorned with bacon roses I have to give Pat credit this
time he picked a few recipes himself and I told him which ones were likely to
work the best he made the shopping list and bought the ingredients mostly on his
own with only a Little Help from me he did need help finding the ingredients we
had at home but I cook way more so that is to be expected the day before the
party he began cooking the meatloaf and potatoes not realizing it would take 3
to 4 hours to get everything done I didn't want him up until midnight on a
work night so I jumped in to help I did all the measuring and chopping for the
meatloaf and made the potato | give me a good story on AITAforexpectingmorethanonebiteofameatcakeIspentfourhourspreparingorig |

aita for telling my bio sister I'm sorry
she wasn't adopted but that doesn't have anything to do with me and I owe her
nothing I 25m was placed in the Foster system by my bio parents when I was to
yo I was adopted sometime later by my real parents I recognize that I'm
extremely fortunate and lucky to have been adopted before I had any real
memory of the system and that my parents gave me a better life than I would have
ever had if I had stayed with my biop parents I grew up privileged went at
private schools had holidays abroad and had my tuition paid fully when I started
uni I was loved and never lacked anything I currently have a well-paying
job as chemical engineer a beautiful wife a house paid off fully by my
in-laws and two children I'm very grateful for everything I have and
recognize that I would be leading a very different life had I not been adopted
last year I was contacted by opal 27f who claimed I was her brother and wanted
to meet up after careful consideration I agreed after doing a DNA test together
and digging a bit into family history opal and I discovered that we were
placed into foster care around the same time usually foster care will try to

:00.280 --> :05.220 First time poster, so apologies ahead of time
but I was remembering this story last night :05.220 --> :11.460
and thought it might be appropriate here. :11.460 --> :16.960
Years ago I worked for an independent dog
boarding facility as a customer service representative.
:16.960 --> :21.020 Because I was low man on the totem pole, I
often got the evening shift. :21.020 --> :26.279
The managers all left an hour or two early,
leaving me and 2-3 other employees to close :26.279 --> :32.110
depending on how many dogs we had (sometimes
as few as a couple dozen, but often well over :32.110 --> :34.180
a hundred in the busy times). :34.180 --> :39.300
My primary responsibility was closing down
the office work (closing the register, making :39.300 --> :42.370
sure all paperwork was in order, etc.). :42.370 --> :46.710
Once that was done, I had to pick up with
finishing bigger tasks like taking out the :46.710 --> :51.690
trash and laundry but the actual animal care
was supposed to be the other employees' job. :51.690 --> :57.359
If they needed help with things like cleaning
cages, or dishes, or non-animal handling things :57.359 --> :00.120
I was happy to do so, they just needed to tell me. :00.120 --> :04.980
They knew what needed to be done, and if they
didn't tell me I did the other tasks and had :04.980 --> :07.900
no reason to think they hadn't finished their tasks.
:07.900 --> :12.650 Also, keep in mind that the managers were
always on our rears to finish up and clock :12.650 --> :14.220
out by 9:15. :14.220 --> :20.220
Barely doable with the staff they gave us
when we had thirty dogs, when we had 100+ :20.220 --> :26.040
dogs we often much later (something we were
as unhappy about as the managers were). :26.040 --> :31.030
One very busy night, this one guy (we'll call
him Michael, I don't even remember at this :31.030 --> :33.759
point), was in charge of the small dog room. :33.759 --> :38.079
Because it's indoors rather than a big building
with runs, it could only hold about fifteen :38.079 --> :42.200
dogs and thus took a lot less time than the big main building.
:42.200 --> :46.399 The person on the small dog room was expected
to be finish that room and then go out and :46.399 --> :48.070
finish with the rest of the dogs. :48.070 --> :52.460
By the time I was done with my office work,
Michael was up at the big building with our :52.460 --> :57.259
coworker and I asked whether there was anything
they needed help with or whether I could focus :57.259 --> :01.250
on the trash and laundry and making sure doors were locked.
:01.250 --> :05.020 Michael said everything was done in the dog
room and there were no problems, so I moved :05.020 --> :11.900
on with my job and about fifteen minutes later
(it was already 9:45) we were done and left. :11.900 --> :17.800
The next morning I get called into the small
dog room and my manager angrily gestures at :17.800 --> :18.800
the sink. :18.800 --> :23.910
There are 4 or 5 dog bowls sitting there that hadn't been cleaned and put away.
:23.910 --> :25.580 She asked me why they weren't done.
:25.580 --> :30.080 I pointed out that the small dog room was
Michael's responsibility and he had told me :30.080 --> :31.599
he'd done everything. :31.599 --> :37.430
She said it was the responsibility of everyone
responsibility to make sure EVERY task was :37.430 --> :42.950
done before we left no matter who had been
officially in charge of the task (I didn't :42.950 --> :47.349
point out that I highly doubted she'd hold
the other employees accountable if I messed :47.349 --> :49.190
up doing my tasks). :49.190 --> :53.690
I apologized, but figured in my head that
I was getting a verbal warning because it :53.690 --> :58.720
was only 4-5 bowls that had been forgotten
and was easily fixed and would be something :58.720 --> :01.220
I would make note of for the future. :01.220 --> :05.549
Instead all of us got an official mark on our records.
:05.549 --> :07.880 Cue Malicious Compliance.
:07.880 --> :13.840 From there on out, I took my sweet time checking
and double-checking that EVERY job was done :13.840 --> :18.720
and done so that there would never be the
smallest question that it hadn't been done :18.720 --> :21.099
well enough, no matter how small. :21.099 --> :25.300
I also made sure that my coworkers went behind me and did the same thing.
:25.300 --> :28.390 A small piece of debris missed while sweeping
the floor? :28.390 --> :30.080 Got to do it again.
:30.080 --> :31.480 Better wash those bowls again.
:31.480 --> :36.409 The bed in this empty cage looks slightly
askew, better fix that. :36.409 --> :40.830
I'd check to make sure every door was closed
and locked and then do it again two or more :40.830 --> :41.830 times.
:41.830 --> :45.959 Now, because the managers couldn't be bothered
to make the people responsible for doing their :45.959 --> :51.280
job actually responsible for their own job,
we all had to spend the time checking behind :51.280 --> :57.019
everyone else which meant that we added another
fifteen to twenty minutes of time on top of :57.019 --> :59.110
actually doing the job. :59.110 --> :04.189
Make me responsible for doing someone else's
job instead of expecting them to actually :04.189 --> :05.629
do their job? :05.629 --> :18.850 It's going to cost you an hour
:18.850 --> :37.110 of overtime combined.
:37.110 --> :46.750 Low grade malicious compliance here, resulting
in the shame of one arrogant supervisor but :46.750 --> :47.940
little more. :47.940 --> :50.100
Some problems do indeed fix themselves... :50.100 --> :55.100
and this is more for those techies of the
late 1990's who had built their own computers :55.100 --> :59.759
and had to mess with IRQ's, jumper settings and the rest of the mess.
:59.759 --> :04.600 Military setting, so expect a diet alphabet
soup as I did try to keep it to a minimum. :04.600 --> :09.030
I'm just a third class petty office (PO3), mostly handling software at the time.
:09.030 --> :11.970 Server and computer builds were supposedly
beyond me. :11.970 --> :18.480
My supervisor, a 2nd class (PO2) was of the
same job, but he was allowed to work on desktops :18.480 --> :19.830
(PC's). :19.830 --> :25.289
We also had a data systems tech first class
(one rank above that, so PO1) who is supposed :25.289 --> :30.440
to handle the hardware aspect of fixing computers,
down to the circuit layer if need be. :30.440 --> :36.600
But he was also the leading petty officer
(LPO), i.e. the guy in charge, though his :36.600 --> :41.340
style was more hands off just to see what
we could do, with a focus on cross training :41.340 --> :43.040
people for all jobs. :43.040 --> :46.979
Thus, I was on deck for at least doing the initial triage.
:46.979 --> :51.440 We had an officer who wanted his computer
fixed.. but the PO2 kept jumping into the :51.440 --> :57.000
conversaton, talking over me, and correcting
me (with bad information) which I would counter :57.000 --> :00.940
with references from the book and standard operating procedures.
:00.940 --> :06.009 Then then asked, since I know so much then
I already know what the problem is, so please :06.009 --> :07.210
explain it. :07.210 --> :09.699 (this is the malicious compliance)
:09.699 --> :12.400 I was.. a little irritated.
:12.400 --> :14.759 I didn't know what was wrong with the computer..
:14.759 --> :16.620 but I knew of A problem.
:16.620 --> :23.080 So, something, something about the Interrupts
(IRQ)'s that were connected to the computer's :23.080 --> :29.630
two microphones being fired prematurely before
the speaker queue was finished, thereby aborting :29.630 --> :34.150
the speaker queue... we will have to find
a way to stop those interrupts before we can :34.150 --> :35.370
get it fixed. :35.370 --> :40.199
The officer just nodded along, said "sounds good" and walked off.
:40.199 --> :45.009 The PO2 looked pleased and started writing
it down for the work order, stopped... looked :45.009 --> :49.470
at me and asked, "did you just say, stop interrupting you?"
:49.470 --> :53.980 my smile told it all and he was... a little
annoyed. :53.980 --> :59.940
Our DS1 just completely lost it and had to
leave the room as he was laughing so hard. :59.940 --> :04.000
We (I really) got the computer fixed with no problem.
:04.000 --> :22.729 Our LPO later told the PO2 that maybe he should
check his interrupts more often. :22.729 --> :27.790
Trying to keep the jargon to a minimum and
explain acronyms, so sorry if it comes across :27.790 --> :28.790
as patronising. :28.790 --> :32.260
The company in question are early on in their IT security maturity.
:32.260 --> :36.819 They’re taking steps and making progress,
but it’s still early days. :36.819 --> :41.350
To help speed this along they got someone
who claims to be a security expert in known :41.350 --> :43.080
from here on as Boss. :43.080 --> :48.169
Boss has an entry level security qualification
but talks about it if it’s a doctorate awarded :48.169 --> :52.500
by Hogwarts School for Hacking and Wizardry or something.
:52.500 --> :56.850 Boss has suggested that I “get a bit more
experience and then maybe go for it. :56.850 --> :58.889
It’s an arduous course”. :58.889 --> :03.650
My lowest level qualification is generally
accepted in the community to be attempted :03.650 --> :10.090
roughly after about 5 years experience beyond
this aforementioned “arduous qualification” :10.090 --> :15.560
I’m a red team guy, which means my job is
to simulate attacks in order to test the company’s :15.560 --> :16.560
security. :16.560 --> :20.240
It’s where I have experience and qualifications and what I know.
:20.240 --> :25.350 Blue team, the defenders, is not my strong
suit but I have a relatively good knowledge :25.350 --> :29.152
of their role for someone who doesn’t do
it because I need to know how not to alert :29.152 --> :31.000
them when I’m doing my job. :31.000 --> :35.770
For this scenario though, I was tasked with
helping set up the Security Operations Centre :35.770 --> :38.149
(SOC) and provide alerting. :38.149 --> :42.290
We get the systems set up and ready, and it comes time to set up alerts.
:42.290 --> :47.149 In a meeting with boss I asked for a honeypot
account to be created so that we could monitor :47.149 --> :52.920
it for kerberoasting, a kind of attack which
abuses a legitimate service to move laterally :52.920 --> :55.060
around the network. :55.060 --> :56.710
Conversation roughly as follows: :56.710 --> :58.690
Boss: you don’t need that. :58.690 --> :00.410
Just monitor for kerberoasting :00.410 --> :05.610
Me: that’s how we would do it - create an
account with an unused SPN and monitor for :05.610 --> :07.829
a Kerberos ticket being requested for that :07.829 --> :09.820
Boss: Don’t need it. :09.820 --> :10.820 Monitor all accounts
:10.820 --> :12.990 Me: but there would be -
:12.990 --> :15.180 Boss (cutting me off): All.
:15.180 --> :16.180 Accounts. :16.180 --> :17.730
We need to monitor everything :17.730 --> :19.570 Me: you’re the boss
:19.570 --> :25.370 Part of the original request was to set up
alerting to email a HUGE group of people when :25.370 --> :26.820
an alert was created. :26.820 --> :31.860
I decided to ignore that part of the request
for testing and just email the boss. :31.860 --> :37.050
I set up an email alert for every Kerberos event and turned it on for 2 minutes.
:37.050 --> :39.650 Shortly after I had this interaction:
:39.650 --> :43.500 Boss: I’ve just had a load of email alerts come in
:43.500 --> :45.160 Me: about 1500? :45.160 --> :47.040
Boss: I guess… :47.040 --> :48.580 my inbox is flooded
:48.580 --> :49.800 Me: well… :49.800 --> :52.480
it’s alerting (with a shrugging emoji) :52.480 --> :56.770
The alerts are now only generated for Kerberos events on a honeypot account.
:56.770 --> :19.940 I guess this wasn’t covered in his course
:19.940 --> :25.250 If you don't want me to help you AND you want
me to break policy AND you try to manipulate :25.250 --> :30.830
me, I'm gonna pull an uno reverse on you because
I happen to have the brain of a bionic raccoon. :30.830 --> :36.050
I once worked at a blue store where we had
a very complicated rewards program that near :36.050 --> :41.399
the end of my employment changed the whole
system in a very similar but subtly different :41.399 --> :47.050
in a different way and a new marketing strategy
that the customers were NOT appreciative of. :47.050 --> :53.110
Now a little fun fact first: I have ASD so
my brain can have the naive logic of a little :53.110 --> :59.760
computer sometimes and I don't MEAN to be
mean to people until they start hassling me. :59.760 --> :04.240
Its mostly when I tell them that according
to policy (rigidity of thought and black and :04.240 --> :05.630
white rules, check!) :05.630 --> :10.329
I could not perform the action that they were
requesting, so they would inevitably, over :10.329 --> :15.440
the course of the conversation (debate) have
a light bulb moment and think they have just :15.440 --> :18.280
realized a clever little way around the policy. :18.280 --> :24.120
For example, retroactively applying rewards points can't be done, sorry.
:24.120 --> :27.639 So they go "oh, well, let me return it then."
:27.639 --> :32.330 And I can tell by the look on their face that
they think they're being sneaky and boy are :32.330 --> :35.320
they about to one up this dumb cashier. :35.320 --> :40.610
I know full well what they intend to do, and
that turns my well meaning but strict naivety :40.610 --> :45.680
into malicious compliance - because that's
not a nice thing to do, and I'm nice to nice :45.680 --> :48.250
people, but if they're not nice.... :48.250 --> :53.899
I am aware of a subsection of the policy that
Denies them this as an actual loophole and :53.899 --> :58.110
I of course have all the days sale prices
more or less memorized because I'm getting :58.110 --> :03.649
no more mental stimulation than that at this
job, and I know that when they rebuy it, it'll :03.649 --> :07.140
take days for the rewards to return to their account.
:07.140 --> :11.790 And I could tell them that today's sale price
is higher than what they bought it for, and :11.790 --> :17.790
due to a quirk in the system, oh boy, when
they ask me to re-ring it, it'll ring up as :17.790 --> :23.620
today's higher price automatically, and no
sir, I do not have the ability or function :23.620 --> :29.839
in the POS to backdate it to the sale price
without flagging the transaction in the system :29.839 --> :31.500
and getting me in trouble. :31.500 --> :36.240
I could tell him that, but he hasn't said
anything about repurchasing it yet, unaware :36.240 --> :41.620
that I've pattern matched this exact conversation
a million times, and he thinks he's going :41.620 --> :47.250
to pull an uno reverse on me because I'm obviously
thick as a brick wall, so I stay silent the :47.250 --> :53.110
way he is, and when he grins and says "ok, id like to repurchase these now!
:53.110 --> :54.880 Don't forget my rewards points!"
:54.880 --> :58.269 I smile and go "yes sir, no problem sir!"
:58.269 --> :00.339 And I re-ring him. :00.339 --> :04.370
Sometimes they notice the total has gone up
and they begin the frustrated toddler yelling :04.370 --> :09.930
immediately......and sometimes they are so
drunk in their perceived victory over this :09.930 --> :15.459
dumb little soft voiced girl that they swipe
their card, go through our complicated rewards :15.459 --> :20.370
and credit card look up process (because of
course they don't have the card with them, :20.370 --> :25.220
which is frustrating because it adds ten minutes
to a transaction).....and get their receipt :25.220 --> :30.100
and leave high on their fantastic win and
they don't come back and start yelling and :30.100 --> :33.459
waving arms until they've gotten home and checked their receipt.
:33.459 --> :34.459 Hmm . :34.459 --> :35.459 Oh God.
:35.459 --> :36.459 im a terror. :36.459 --> :39.770
No wonder my coworkers either loved me or hated me.
:39.770 --> :56.190 I :56.190 --> :58.339
work as a manager in a warehouse. :58.339 --> :01.230
Non-climate-controlled warehouse in the Midwest. :01.230 --> :07.240
Boss has decided as supervisors we now must
wear collared shirts- polo or button down. :07.240 --> :08.240 So....
:08.240 --> :11.350 I got a bunch of bright obnoxious Hawaiian shirts.
:11.350 --> :14.720 Hey, they are collared- you just said collared.
:14.720 --> :19.840 I got mushroom ones, comic strip ones, Lilo
and stitch, PRIDE. :19.840 --> :22.209 He is so confused right now.
:22.209 --> :31.040 This one may have been out of her control
due to store policies, but I feel like it :31.040 --> :32.040 counts.
:32.040 --> :37.500 Stopped at one of the big home improvement
stores (the blue one) on my way home from :37.500 --> :38.500 work.
:38.500 --> :42.850 We’re redoing our floors and I’ve calculated
we need about 18 boxes of flooring. :42.850 --> :48.250
I get a cart and go to the flooring section
and realize, because I’ve got my tiny Honda, :48.250 --> :51.570
that fitting all 18 boxes would be ridiculous. :51.570 --> :56.230
So I grab a few boxes, figuring I’ll learn
how to install them tonight, return the next :56.230 --> :00.759
morning in my wife’s SUV, and do the rest tomorrow on my day off.
:00.759 --> :05.130 However, I don’t want someone else to take
all that style of floor before I come back, :05.130 --> :08.620
so I purchase all of the flooring I will need at the flooring desk.
:08.620 --> :12.570 So I come back the next morning and grab a
flatbed cart, more than happy to load up the :12.570 --> :17.520
rest of the flooring myself (a dozen boxes at 20-30 pounds each).
:17.520 --> :22.640 When I ask the woman at the flooring desk,
however, she insists I need to go to customer :22.640 --> :24.560
service instead. :24.560 --> :25.560 Ok. :25.560 --> :30.410
So I go there, show them my receipt, and they call…the flooring desk.
:30.410 --> :33.380 A few minutes later, who do I see approaching?
:33.380 --> :39.009 The flooring cashier, of course, who had to
load all several hundred pounds of flooring :39.009 --> :42.630
onto a different flatbed cart and wheel it to the front.
:42.630 --> :16.089 For what it’s worth, I utterly failed at
installing the floor myself and had to call :16.089 --> :19.069
a contractor. | give me a good story on rMaliciousComplianceHOWISCREWEDTHENEWDRESSCODEUPRedditStories |

hey everybody my name is Stephen and welcome back to the story time Channel
without wasting any time let's get into our stories of the day fire me before I
quit I ruin your life since I'm still in
school I took a job at a bakery of types which I won't name the place says bread
in the name but also sells overpriced eyelids and sandwiches I worked there
for close to a year where I had this boss named Betty not a real name of
course Betty and I didn't get along whatsoever she had gotten the previous
general manager to quit because she had an affair with him and she threatened to
tell his wife if he didn't leave he quickly left the job and she was
promoted to the position I didn't like her but I have to respect the dedication
to be the general manager of a small but
store when I first started working there
I was respectful but she would do things
that would get on my nerves for instance I would clean all the places I would be
hired to do and once I was done and relaxed for maybe five minutes she would
run out of the manager's office screeching why aren't you working I
would tell her of course I did my job and as a cashier if nobody is there to
help then I didn't have anything to do she would glare at me then I would see
her accidentally drop an entire pot of brewed coffee onto my freshly mopped
floor for me to clean so I learned quickly don't always look busy once she
realized I was going to kneel and kiss the ground she walked on she started
dropping my hours the store ran on a game of Thrones type politics for who
got promotions and raises somehow all her friends were managers are not bully
the rest of us she would drive to my job clock just in case corporate decided to
check her hours so she was essentially stealing hours when you clocked in it
printed out a small piece of paper telling you when you clocked in she
would just drop them on the floor for me
to clean up I would usually pick them up
and stick them into a pocket so this led to me finding Betty's clock in and out
stubs in my pocket at my house this will
be important for later did I mention she was super racist she was white and the
most of the staff were my fellow high school peers who were all mostly people
of color one day at work she walked out and
when you're on the clock I own you when we all reacted to look at her she back
pedaled and was like I didn't mean it like that this will be important for
later so after a while I got sick of practically begging for hours so I went
to my current job but decided I merely wanted to drop my hours which were
already barely a day a week but suddenly when I got my new job she scheduled me
every single day of an entire week she never did that even when we were on
semi-good terms so I obviously told her I had a new job and couldn't do this
after that I went home and called my friend who was still working there to
tell him I was going to quit tomorrow he has a bad habit of putting his phone on
speaker while he's cleaning at work so Betty obviously overheard this the
next day I walk in and go through the respectful motions of saying thank you
for the opportunity and blah blah blah Betty let me get through the entire
speech before she said well yeah I was meaning to tell you you're fired
I was so blindsided in ticked I cussed her out my mom raised me to treat women
with respect but this freaking fat overweight hippo looking idiot took me
the Freak off she's the type of girl to think binge eating was a personality
trait so I left and was mad about being fired before I could quit but didn't
push the issue I'm only 18 and I already had another job
I wasn't expecting Betty to give me a good reference anyway I would have
completely left it alone if it wasn't for the district manager Ben not real
name texting me the revenge he thought I was still working there so I explained
to him I was fired he was stunned due to
the fact that I was a decent employee he asked why she let me go and I explained
it to him and he was angry he clarified that she fired me before I quit and I
said yes he was ticked that she did this
and asked if there was anything else she
might have done I kind of just vented to him for a bit when I told him about the
racist remark he asked if anyone else would collaborate with me I forgot to
mention that she slowly fired and forced
people to quit and replace them with her friends and family which according to
company policy she couldn't do something about conflict of interest
I asked all the people who were working day if they could and if you said they
would say they did but one did even better
my one co-worker Andy is convinced he's the next big vlogger so he always has
his phone out her just using audio recording for hours for a chance to
catch a funny clip I've watched his content and let me say it's just super
cringe but turns out he labels each recording by the day in times so when he
checked he found her making racist remarks I got a brilliant idea and with
my other fired or coworkers first to quit we decided to scour Andy's
recordings we found some great moments of Betty's saying controversial things
are just being nasty like once a guest sneezed on the baked pastries and when a
co-worker told her she laughed it off and said nobody would know but this
wasn't enough for me I try to avoid conflict but when I'm in a situation
I'll follow it through I've looked her up on Facebook and found
out she was married nobody knew this so when she had the affair with the other
manager and basically blackmailed them she was also married and cheating I
don't think anyone ever cared out to find out because she was a nasty old
lady so I found the old managers mark so
I found the old managers Mark's Facebook and found out he and his wife were
separated turns out even after he quit but he was still trying to blackmail
money out of him when he didn't she told his wife anyway causing his wife to
divorce him and basically leave him to go back to live with his parents I did
some research and in my state blackmail or extortion is a third degree penalty
which has a max of 7 years in prison with a fine over 10,000 to the victim so
I told the old manager what my plan was for her he agreed to call the cops on
her but I asked if he'd wait until they finished my part first he said he'd give
me a week so I met with district manager Ben and showed him all our evidence the
recordings and the written statements from my other ex coworkers and people
who were still working there I also gave Ben the slips of paper when Betty
clocked in and then left and returned 8 to 10 hours later to clock out Ben
thanked me for the information and then I left a few
days later while walking past the store I noticed it was closed in the middle of
the day I texted a guy who still worked there and he told me everything turns
out Ben first checked the security cameras to see if she was there for the
full time she claimed to be big surprise
she wasn't so Ben decided to investigate these stores expenses since if she's
lying about her time what else could she be stealing he found out she was
stealing money from the store the guy didn't fully explain how she was but
just that she was turns out she was breaking a lot of health and safety
codes and used the money for repairs and etc for herself so she was fired
immediately along with all of her minions and that left barely anybody to
run the store they shut down to clean up
the store and fix things she didn't make so she's out of a job and mark told her
husband with photo proof grannie nudes I know
LLL bet she cheated on him but mark phrased it so it seemed like she still
was so Betty's husband flips out and decides to divorce her and Betty is the
type to post everything on Facebook so she's begging someone to let her stay
but all of her friends and family totally bailed on her so she was living
in her car looking for a job that's when Mark decides to sue her for extortion
so she scrambles to find a lawyer and to make it even worse the company decided
to sue her for all the money she stole and plus all the repairs in lost revenue
while the store is closed Betty's life is crap she had a cellar
karffard drastically under what it's worth to pay for all the legal trouble
mark told me bits and pieces of her crying in the courtroom but not too much
I was never super close with him last I heard of Betty is she was living with
her sister who definitely hates her to think she would have avoided all of this
if she just let me quit would the way she was acting I feel like it was
inevitable that it would come back to bite her in the butt pretty hard but
with that being said if you were in Opie's shoes here and you had all this
evidence the clock stubs the racist remarks firing you just before you could
quit what would you have done or said let me know in the comments below
destroy our tree will destroy your drive full disclosure this happened almost
five years ago so my memory of this is a little fuzzy at times however the major
player here confirmed that it's accurate enough to get the story across so I'm
going with it background our house is old it is really
old it's older than the town heck it's older than Confederation the house was
originally built by a merchant from the area like 200 years ago it's old with
its age comes a very big property line and apart from a couple adjustments here
and there to account for infrastructure and housing development it's basically
unchanged from a hundred years ago it rarely ever comes up here but in any
dispute relating to property lines the official town plan takes precedent and
our property line crosses over into our neighbours property this will be
important later and now for the two major players in this tale our jerk
neighbor who we will call lumpy he's just the worst he ran an illegal Chop
Shop in his backyard and seems to be deathly afraid of trees he also always
took a two-week long vacation in the summer and it was always at the end of
July this part is also important later the other one is my dad at the time he
was in government oversight but before that he was in the department of justice
and his major responsibilities included training crown attorneys this included
the attorneys general in the pecking order dad was actually pretty low but
the crowd knew and respected him and they were keenly aware that dad knew the
law inside and out if there was anything
even remotely resembling a legal dispute dad was almost always in the right with
his argument now we begin our tale the slight the line between our yard and
Lumpy's was pretty clear our side was grass protestant lilies shrubs and trees
his was a gravel driveway before the incident there was a large Manitoba
maple tree growing there it was very old but grew in such a way that it blocked
just enough sunlight to have a plus level of light going through the window
we had no intentions of ever removing it maybe trim it a little if it got too
close to the windows however some lower branches were sagging
onto Lumpy's driveway so he asked if he could cut down some of
the lower branches so that his car wouldn't get damaged when he drove in
and out it was a fair enough request and he did ask permission first
so we told him to get a landscaper and a quote because we sure as heck weren't
going to let lumpy do it and we're okay paying for that a couple days later we
were all in a day trip somewhere and when we got back
lumpy comes over and tells us not to worry about the landscaper because he
took care of it red flags were waving at that statement so we went and checked
the tree idiot cut the entire tree down then to add insult to injury he painted
the stump with some sort of weird gray stuff don't know what it was but it had
to have been toxic as Freak because nothing ever grew on that stump again
not even fungi so we're understandably ticked off but unfortunately there's
nothing we can do about it because there's no proof so now we've got a
stump that was once a beautiful tree a smug neighbor and seemingly no course of
action to take that didn't accept that scenario and he had a plan the plan as I
said earlier dad knew the law inside and out so he began to plan things out he
made a few phone calls to the town civil architect a couple inspectors the local
landscaper lumpy was going to get that quote from and a contractor he visited
city hall and got a copy of the official town plan which remember is the final
word on property lines he had everything arranged and now he
began to wait the revenge like clockwork won't be when on vacation and the plan
was enacted over the course of two weeks we expanded we rebuilt our fence to new
dimensions rearranged the shrubs dug up the gravel driveway and put fresh dirt
and grass over it and planted a weeping willow in a spot where as it grew would
always hang and shred until bumpy's with the expended fence and shrubbery
Lumpy's driveway was a small strip of pavement maybe half a meter wide the
fence placed an old dying maple and a Hawthorn on our side but because of how
the two trees grew most of it was on lumpy side the key point is that the
placement of the truck dictates whose property it's on so it's our tree that
he can't touch no matter how annoying or destructive it is with the new
dimensions the chop shop he was running was now on our side of the fence but
because it was illegal it was just scrap
metal as far as the law was concerned so we sold it to a local scrapyard
by the time lumpy came back our yard had expanded almost three meters into his
yard and waiting for him was dead the civil architect and a lawyer with a
stack of documents outlining in full detail that what they did was 100%
illegal and there wasn't a thing he could do about it
edit not sure how it happened but it was supposed to say that we told lumpy to
get the quote and let me pay for the landscaper because we didn't want mommy
to do it himself second edit aftermath lumpy apparently
tried to press charges something along the lines of trespassing or destruction
of property or something ridiculous like
that I had moved out of town at the time so I don't know for sure what happened
but I like to think the judge just threw the case out
like I said everything was above board and completely legal what I do know he
did was tear apart of his lawn and put an a new driveway he still had room for
it but it also could his lawn in half and he had to pay to have the sidewalk
adjusted into a ramp also because the town was paying attention now he had to
have it done properly with like asphalt and stuff instead of gravel like before
he's also apparently planning to move out and rent the property to others I
have to admit if a neighbor did that to my tree I would have hate going straight
down to my core for that person so I totally understand what they did here it
felt like a lot but the neighbor probably deserved it and it sounds like
they're paying pretty heavily for what they did to the tree with that being
said that's all the stories we have for it too

:14.400 --> :18.180 Earlier today I had an experience I
will treasure for the rest of my life, :18.180 --> :19.860
best of all it's a short one! :19.860 --> :24.480
At the gym's pool I wound up befriending a
lady and her son after she gave up her swim
:24.480 --> :30.240
lane so I could flail around without potentially
steamrolling little kids in the family area. Wound
:30.240 --> :34.560
up chatting a little bit when I'd be gasping for
air on their end of the pool if I saw them again. :34.560 --> :37.320
Well, today it was pretty much the same deal,
:37.320 --> :41.400 except at one point the mom flagged me down
and asked me to keep an eye on her little one,
:41.400 --> :47.220
she had to go to the bathroom. It's not my third
day, I asked no questions. Because if you ask,
:47.220 --> :52.680 odds are a woman will tell you what's
wrong in excruciating detail. I just :52.680 --> :56.880
nodded and assumed responsibility while she
scurried out of the pool to the locker room. :22.260 --> :27.480
She was gone for maybe ten minutes, during which
time I'd given up on helping the lil guy learn to
:27.480 --> :33.420
swim and was being used as an impromptu jumping
platform. He'd stand on my shoulders holding
:33.420 --> :37.980 my hands and then jump in the water. I guess
for him it was like jumping off a sky scraper,
:37.980 --> :41.820 and I made sure he wasn't going to knock
himself out on the pool edge or something. :41.820 --> :46.020
It was then that a woman water walked
over to us with a little girl in tow, :46.020 --> :51.120
demanding to know where the boy's mother was
and why he was using me like a jungle gym. :51.120 --> :55.860
Before I could reply the little guy rolled
his eyes at the woman and said the following,
:55.860 --> :02.040 at max volume. "Ms. Karen Mommy asked Mr.
OP to watch me. She hasn't pooped in three
:02.040 --> :06.300 days and I think she just got unstuck. Are
you really going to ruin that for her too?" :06.300 --> :08.820
The other adults in the pool within earshot,
:08.820 --> :15.240
again, he was NOT quiet with his question all
instantly went to either complete neutrality or
:15.240 --> :19.800 barely concealed glee. I'm guessing said
lady wasn't too popular with that crowd. :19.800 --> :25.080
Her face turned an alarming shade of red, and
then huffed her way to the edge of the pool and
:25.080 --> :30.720
yanked her little one out of the pool and stalked
into the locker room, muttering unintelligibly. :30.720 --> :36.180
Lil dude DEFINITELY got a high five after
that mic drop moment. I'm not his dad, :36.180 --> :40.020
and even if I was I'd probably still have given him a high five.
:40.020 --> :46.500 I have absolutely no idea what the too part
meant. I'll have to ask what the too meant
:46.500 --> :50.940 next chance I get. His mom was more than a
little mortified about her medical status
:50.940 --> :55.440 being broadcast like that, and she only
came back to grab her son so they could
:55.440 --> :50.400 head home. This happened my sophomore year
of high school at least the spring half. My
:50.400 --> :55.200
sister used to say this was my proudest moment
because I worked really hard. My High School
:55.200 --> :00.540
gave me off-campus lunch previliges because of
my grades were above normal for being a learning
:00.540 --> :05.460 disabled kid. Getting a B average is what is
allowable for it for sophomores and freshman. :05.460 --> :09.660
I also got to be a teacher's aide in the
special education department along with
:09.660 --> :16.260
tutoring upon request. It was awesome and for
most of January to about April, my friends who
:16.260 --> :21.180 had a car would drive to my house because my
mom was a great cook and loved serving us. :21.180 --> :26.520
But there was one issue, it was boy in the
special ed room called Cody. His mother was
:26.520 --> :30.900 one of the special ed teachers and she
was annoying as h*** because she always
:30.900 --> :36.600 tried to include Cody in everything. She was
one of those Entitled Special Needs Moms. :36.600 --> :42.420
She also had Cody follow me at lunch when I
ate in the cafeteria and he always weaseled
:42.420 --> :46.860 his way to sit with the rest of the marching
band kids. He would get upset if we talked
:46.860 --> :51.120 about music or who was trying out for drum
manager because it did not include him. :51.120 --> :56.400
I was in band since Freshman year and was
considered older by my quiet nature. Though
:56.400 --> :01.140
my band friends never escaped the fact my mom
was the one who fed us in the summer during the
:01.140 --> :06.840
Marching Field Exercises, so we made plans when
my off-campus access was allowed to see my mom. :06.840 --> :11.640
Of course Cody told his mother who asked me
when I was working in the special ed room,
:11.640 --> :14.640 "So, are you and your friends taking Cody too?"
:15.360 --> :17.280 "Wait, no he doesn't have off campus,
:17.280 --> :22.740
sorry," I pointed to the rules regarding it. "If
he maintained a B average like I did he could." :22.740 --> :26.400
She crossed her arms and told me
I had to include him because I was :26.400 --> :30.540
his friend or else. I told her no and went forward with plans.
:30.540 --> :35.220 On the day I went to sign out and noticed
something was odd when the school secretary
:35.220 --> :40.020 took me aside. She called my mom who was
basically the one who made the plans with
:40.020 --> :44.280 my friends and I. She was there in
almost five minutes with food for me. :44.280 --> :48.600
Apparently Cody's mom decided to use
my learning disabilities as a reason :48.600 --> :53.700
to remove my off campus rights.
I worked six months to get these :53.700 --> :57.540
privileges and they were removed all because I wouldn't take Cody with me.
:57.540 --> :02.520 I was p***** and decided to make it known in
the worst way I could. I went to my English
:02.520 --> :06.840 teacher asking her if the student aide
position was still open and she brought
:06.840 --> :10.440 the note to the special ed teacher with
a sign over sheet. "Who is going to talk
:10.440 --> :14.940 to Cody?" Was all Cody's mom asked when she
saw the signatures and couldn't get her way. :14.940 --> :20.580
Eventually my off-campus was returned a month
later when my English teacher started to fight it,
:20.580 --> :25.320 she said I worked entirely too hard.
I still maintained the B average and :25.320 --> :29.040
also refused to go to the special ed room for tutoring if Cody was there.
:29.040 --> :32.520 By Junior year off campus was
allowed without the B average, :32.520 --> :37.080
but I was still p***** at Cody and his
mother. I worked hard and she decided :37.080 --> :40.920
to use my own weakness against me for the most petty reasons.
:40.920 --> :44.820 I really hope nobody has to go through
that kind of BS if they are a student :44.820 --> :28.800
aide. I hope these policies changed at my high
school. So, I work in the floral department of
:28.800 --> :33.360 a local grocery store chain in my state. We
are always gonna be the busiest in fall and
:33.360 --> :38.340 spring due to dance season (homecoming and
Proms) and that can genuinely be really fun. :38.340 --> :43.260
Anyway, there are only ever two or three people
that work in the floral department, and rarely
:43.260 --> :47.760
do they work together. Even with dance weeks,
they will only work together towards the end
:47.760 --> :52.680
of the week. I bring this up because this specific
event happened towards the middle of a dance week. :52.680 --> :56.640
It was towards the end of my shift and I
was cleaning things up and getting ready
:56.640 --> :01.080 to go before a family of 3 walk into
the department. I don’t really mind, :01.080 --> :05.040
since I still have a bit of time, so I
go up to them and say my usual greeting, :05.040 --> :06.420
“Hey, how can I help you today?” :06.420 --> :09.780
The mom of the family comes up to my
counter and tells me that she’s here :09.780 --> :14.700
for a corsage pick up. I say ok and
go to grab it. Now, this lady bought :14.700 --> :20.940
an “Admiration Petit Corsage” which is a
rather tiny corsage with about 7 spray roses,
:20.940 --> :27.720
which are just really tiny roses, in case anyone
was curious. So, by the name and flowers alone,
:27.720 --> :31.980 you would assume it wasn’t gonna be the
biggest, but it was still really pretty. :31.980 --> :37.560
She specifically ordered one with hot
pink roses, which is more of a magenta :37.560 --> :42.240
in the roses we get. It is still a really
strong color, but it isn’t eye bleeding. :42.240 --> :49.440
ALL OF THIS- I should add, is mentioned on the
website. The size, the color, everything. We
:49.440 --> :54.780
cannot control the flowers we get, but we always
do our best to be as accurate as possible. :54.780 --> :59.760
This lady barely glances at the corsage
and says, “This isn’t what I ordered.” :59.760 --> :02.940
I look at the paper, it says “Hot Pink Petite
:02.940 --> :06.900 Admiration Corsage” so I tell
her this is what she ordered. :06.900 --> :11.880
She responds with, “no, it’s too small,
it’s not the right color, it’s hideous.”
:11.880 --> :14.220
This lady then turns to her son and is trying to
:14.220 --> :18.000 dig for his approval- and all he
says is, “I think it looks fine.” :18.000 --> :20.820
Now she’s ignoring her son and tries to get her
:20.820 --> :24.360 husband’s response- his is
the same, “it looks fine.” :24.360 --> :28.200
I tell her that there are some pre
made corsages in the walk-in cooler, :28.200 --> :33.660
if she’d want to look at any of those. So she
does, and she comes back with like- a red,
:33.660 --> :38.280 double rose corsage- which was a bit
more expensive than the admiration one. :38.280 --> :43.620
She says to me, “You should let me just take
this one this the one you made looks disgusting.” :43.620 --> :46.860
At that point, I had it. I tell her that we cannot do that,
:46.860 --> :51.840 mainly due to the price differences, and
I tell her exactly what she ordered. I had
:51.840 --> :54.960 to highlight to word “petite”
to show her why it was small. :54.960 --> :02.040
She then goes, “No, that is French for pretty.
I ordered a pretty admiration corsage.” :02.040 --> :07.200
Once she said that, I knew that there was
no reasoning with this lady. I apologize,
:07.200 --> :10.800 mainly to the son and father, and tell
them that if they want their refund, :10.800 --> :12.900
they need to go upfront to do it. :12.900 --> :16.140
Floral refunds are actually only
done back in the floral department, :16.140 --> :21.240
but I needed some time with them gone so I
could call our Central Design store to ask
:21.240 --> :25.980 them what I can do. After I finished calling
them, I called the floor managers for up front
:25.980 --> :30.480
and told them what was up- but when I told them
that they could send the lady back to floral,
:30.480 --> :33.540 they tell me they never had a
lady like that come up to them. :33.540 --> :35.940
Since she already paid for her order online,
:35.940 --> :40.560 I didn’t really care. She just had the
thing she paid for and that was that. :40.560 --> :46.500
Now, a couple days later, that same floor manager
told me and the floral manager that there was
:46.500 --> :52.560
a complaint and a refund made. It was that same
lady. I don’t know what the complaint was exactly,
:52.560 --> :57.900 but I knew it was from her because on top
of the complaint paper was her order form- :57.900 --> :24.060
Since I already told my managers what was up,
they didn’t really care much. My friend- we'll
:43.980 --> :49.440
call her June- 's mom wants to hold her back from
graduation this year (we're in 8th grade/year 9).
:50.160 --> :55.620 She isn't failing in any of her classes that
I'm aware of. She's even in both advanced math
:55.620 --> :01.320
and advanced reading as well as a teacher aide
for our art teacher. Her mom's reasoning is she
:01.320 --> :07.980
"needs to mature" and "your uncle did well and he
was held back". Worst part is she (June's mother)
:07.980 --> :15.300
was my math teacher in 6th grade/year 7, and only
recently moved from in-person teaching to online
:15.300 --> :21.240
teaching, so she is still active in her career as
a teacher. All of June's friends, myself included,
:21.240 --> :27.960
are very upset about this. She's just as smart
as we are and probably as mature as we are. I'm
:27.960 --> :32.580 honestly considering emailing her about this
because I will go off on her if she keeps
:32.580 --> :34.240
my friend back for no good reason. (My gf gave
me the full story!! She typed it out herself.) :34.240 --> :35.030
My partner had not told me they posted my
experience on Reddit until today, and I actually
:35.030 --> :35.606
have been wanting to do that, but I can’t get
to Reddit since the only device I have is my
:35.606 --> :04.680 high school Chromebooks. So, here is
a more clear version of what happened. :04.680 --> :05.646
It is longer than what they made, so, get a
blanket, a snack, a drink, and get ready or
:05.646 --> :10.860
some real f***ed up bulls***. This all happens
within the span of like 4 months, by the way. :11.460 --> :25.140
This will be, like, part 1. It’s a saga. :25.140 --> :30.600
It started when we moved to my mother’s
house in May after school finals. Now, :30.600 --> :33.600
me and her had had a lot of arguments
here and there over the years, :33.600 --> :37.680
but nothing that had an impact on the
events I am about to tell you about, :37.680 --> :42.420
it is just to tell you that my mother and I
have a rocky relationship. Anyway, to the point. :42.420 --> :48.720
My mother had started paying me $20 per every
day I babysat. Which would be my 2 siblings.
:48.720 --> :54.900
I was pretty content with it, I didn’t argue or
try to get more paid, I just got anxious when I
:54.900 --> :00.120
wasn’t paid after a while. This started when my
mom hand’t paid me in about 5 days. Which would
:00.120 --> :05.700
be about 100 dollars. During this, I had also been
designing signs for a lady that new the landowner
:05.700 --> :11.160
of my dad’s Airbnb. She took me to the store and
I went to buy the signs I needed. But she also
:11.160 --> :16.620
bought things for my littlest brother and put
them on my tab. Saying she’d pay me. I wanted
:16.620 --> :21.660 her for the active military discount, which
I got, but, she also bought almost 30 dollars
:21.660 --> :28.560
worth of toys for my brother. She promised to pay
me back. I added up how much and it was about $22
:28.560 --> :36.000
with the military discounts. So she owed me $122.
Also, that week, mom told me she’d be charging me
:36.000 --> :43.500
for my phone bill. Which was $40. So $82. I was
going to ask my mom on the 5th day for the pay,
:43.500 --> :48.840 letting her know there was an easier way
to pay, but she was sick so I didn’t say.
:48.840 --> :53.580
I wasn’t going to be some jerk who asked their
sick parent for money. I was willing to wait. :53.580 --> :57.240
While I was in the kitchen next to our
living, I was on a call with my father.
:57.240 --> :02.640 I told him about the pay and how I wanted to
ask mom for the pay and I made calculations,
:02.640 --> :07.200 he asked me how much I was being paid and so
I told him. When he told me that typically,
:07.200 --> :13.260
I would have been paid 5 dollars per kid per hour,
so I should be earning 10 dollars an hour. I said,
:13.260 --> :18.000 “So, I’m being underpaid? What do you want
me to do, bargain with her?” In a joking way,
:18.000 --> :22.620 I was not being serious in the least. I was
perfectly content with what I was being given.
:22.620 --> :27.300 My mom just sort of appears next to me, I
think she was in the living room and I just
:27.300 --> :32.340
didn’t know she was there. She grabbed my phone
and started yelling at my dad, though I have my
:32.340 --> :37.860
Bluetooth headphones connected so it was sort of
useless to yell at my phone, but then she slammed
:37.860 --> :43.800
it down (not hard but definitely not gentle), and
yelled at me. Asking: “So you’re being underpaid,
:43.800 --> :49.260
huh?! You are lucky that I’m paying you at all!!”
I tried to say, “I wasn’t agreeing with him! Why
:49.260 --> :54.660
are you yelling at me??” Then she stormed off.
That's where everything started to go downhill. :54.660 --> :59.340
A few days later, I note it’s been long enough
that my babysitting fee would be about $122.
:59.340 --> :06.720
100 dollars, plus the money she promised, minus
the $40 dollar phone bill. (So without those it
:06.720 --> :11.460
would have been $140). Before I went to ask her
for the money because I thought I should wait
:11.460 --> :15.120 a couple of days, so the phone call
thing can sizzle out and I can ask, :15.120 --> :20.700
I received a text from her. Stating that she
didn’t believe I was taking this babysitting
:20.700 --> :26.100
seriously and she wouldn’t be paying me after
that day. So I texted her wanting to know why
:26.100 --> :32.280 she thought that and why she sent it through
text and not in person. She said we’d talk… we
:32.280 --> :37.320 didn’t. She never came to talk to me about
it. So I plotted to try and talk to her in
:37.320 --> :43.380
the most adult way I could without making her
go ballistic. She hates when I question or ask
:43.380 --> :48.360 things of her, and she gets very defensive.
So I have to be careful when talking to her. :48.360 --> :53.400
We stay with my father for a week, and we decide
to stay for the rest of the summer. The day,
:53.400 --> :57.900 we go back to her house to get more clothes
and stuff to bring back to his place. There,
:57.900 --> :02.880
I decided because I wouldn’t see her for a while,
I would tell her about the app I have for her to
:02.880 --> :08.520
become a cosponsor (One of those teen bank apps,
we can call it ‘Pace’, you can probably guess
:08.520 --> :13.620
which one it is.). When I told her, her immediate
response was: “Oh, so you can pay for your phone
:13.620 --> :20.520
bill?” She gave me this like… weird smile when
she said it. I responded: “‘Yeah, I guess,
:20.520 --> :26.280
but also-” I started to explain to her about how
I counted how much the money for the babysitting
:26.280 --> :31.260 she owed me was, and how I added the money
from the store she said she’d give me, and how
:31.260 --> :35.880
I did subtract the bill from it, and she asked:
“Did you add in the cost of the phone bill?” :35.880 --> :41.700
I stared at her, lost for words. Because I
had said that. I had just mentioned that. I
:41.700 --> :47.100
said yes but then she started going off on how
she doesn’t owe me anything and how I should be
:47.100 --> :52.680
grateful and lucky she was paying me at all for
babysitting and she said she wouldn’t be paying
:52.680 --> :58.020
me the money she owed me. I lost my temper because
she was just going off instead of listening to me,
:58.020 --> :02.940 so I just started shouting at her that
she owed me 122 dollars. By the way, :02.940 --> :07.320
this all escalated while we were walking down
the stairs and until we got to the garage
:07.320 --> :12.900
door. I stormed to the car and didn’t look at
her when she said goodbye. I was p***** off. :12.900 --> :00.300
(1/2) (2/2) The day we came back to stay with my
mother for the school year, she took me to get a
:00.300 --> :05.700
mani-pedi, and we had a great lunch and a great
day. I was completely unaware of what would be
:05.700 --> :11.580
happening later that night. As you know, my mom
has a new boyfriend. She values his word as law
:11.580 --> :16.980
and for some reason puts him above us and gave
him disciplinary power over me and my brothers,
:16.980 --> :22.800
which I don’t care for. But that’s irrelevant.
This is where the ‘Runaway Incident’ occurred.
:22.800 --> :27.420 My mother called me downstairs while I was
on call with my s/o. We went downstairs,
:27.420 --> :34.860
and what was waiting for me gave me immediate
bad vibes. My mother and her boyfriend standing
:34.860 --> :40.260
there with black shirts with the text: ‘DRILL
INSTRUCTOR’ on it, and two of the stool chairs
:40.260 --> :45.780 sat next to each other. With gray shirts and
a reflective vest sitting on both chairs. My
:45.780 --> :50.760
middle brother was sitting there, looking at me
with an equally confused expression. My anxiety
:50.760 --> :55.620
started to peek as I went to sit down, holding
the clothes. They handed both of us a paper that
:55.620 --> :01.260
said ‘House Rules’. It might as well have read:
“Boot Camp”. The thing was fine, initially. But
:01.260 --> :06.480 it was the penalties they had placed that
were madness. Not doing chores? 2 hours of
:06.480 --> :12.720
free time. That was the most reasonable thing
on this paper. It jumps the gun really quickly. :12.720 --> :20.100
Missing assignments? 9+ days penalty. Again, a bit
overboard, but okay, livable. But here is the most
:20.100 --> :28.680
insane thing. Any grades lower than As and Bs? 30+
days penalty or more. Yes. Anything less than an A
:28.680 --> :36.300
or a B for any amount of time, no exceptions, will
result in over a MONTHS worth of penalty. Penalty
:36.300 --> :43.200
is basically no fun. No computer, no phone, no TV,
no games, no books, just staring at a wall. You
:43.200 --> :47.880
also had to do the other person’s chores on top
of your own. There was no debating or anything on
:47.880 --> :52.680
this. I look at my mother and her boyfriend and
asked: “You are joking, right? This is insane.”
:52.680 --> :57.120 They say that not, and that these rules have
always been there but now they are enforcing them. :57.120 --> :02.160
You know that sinking feeling of anxiety,
when your hands shake, and you aren’t thinking
:02.160 --> :08.640
straight? Like the ‘I want to run away’ feeling?
Yeah, that was me. Again, there was no hint that
:08.640 --> :12.900
this was going to happen. I had thought that I
was doing great for the first week of school.
:12.900 --> :18.780 No missing assignments, all homework done by
the time I get home, doing my chores on time,
:18.780 --> :24.600
I thought I was doing great. So I was freaking
out, wondering what warranted this. They look
:24.600 --> :29.700
at me brother and ask him if he’s wondering why
this is happening to him. My brother nods. Then
:29.700 --> :35.100
they proceed to tell him: “You can thank your
sister, your sister harassing your mother and
:35.100 --> :40.140
making her cry the other day, and doing nothing
to fix it or apologize for it.” (Side note:
:40.140 --> :43.800 They did call me at some point during
the month we were at father’s place, :43.800 --> :48.900
My heart and my body might as well have gone into
shock because so much was going through my head.
:48.900 --> :54.600
Remembering it makes me feel that weightlifting
anxiety all over again. Then my mother looks at
:54.600 --> :01.380
the clock and says: “Oh look, 6 minutes until 7,
so give me your phones.” We were given personal
:01.380 --> :08.640
time at 7. But we weren’t allowed to have our
phones… during the designated personal time. I
:08.640 --> :13.560
lost it there, because my s/o was still on call.
I don’t know how much they heard, but I remember
:13.560 --> :18.780
saying: “I’m going to dad’s, I’m calling dad.”
And I get up out of the chair to put the kitchen
:18.780 --> :23.340
counter between me and my mother and her boyfriend
because they were shouting at me that they were
:23.340 --> :28.740
going to cut the line to my phone and to give them
my phone and to hang up. Yelling at dad to hang up
:28.740 --> :34.920
and ignore me. I am crying at this point, begging
dad to come get me and to not hang up. I try to
:34.920 --> :39.360
run upstairs to get away from them because I was
willing to just walk the hours that it would take
:39.360 --> :44.760
to get there, and I wanted to pack and leave. I
kept saying I want to leave and to move out of
:44.760 --> :49.920
my way when they’d block me. Then her boyfriend
grabbed my arm. My mother made him let go and I
:49.920 --> :54.480 ran up the stairs, but she grabbed my by the
back of my shirt. I told them to let me go,
:54.480 --> :59.580
and I used all the strength I had to pull away
from her. But when I got to the top of the stairs,
:59.580 --> :03.900 she pinned me on my stomach. Then said:
“If you hit me, I will call the police.” :03.900 --> :10.560
… yes. You are not reading that wrong. If I hit
her, while she had me pinned… she would call the
:10.560 --> :16.260
police. I look back at it now and I wish I did
hit her for how stupid that statement was. She
:16.260 --> :21.240
got the phone from my hand, and I ran to my room
and packed my stuff My middle brother came in to
:21.240 --> :27.360
beg me not to go, but at the time, I just could
not stay there. I left downstairs and they said
:27.360 --> :32.580
I wasn’t leaving. They blocked the front door.
I shouted at home and I couldn’t take it there,
:32.580 --> :37.320
because this wasn’t the first time when something
drastic like this has happened between me and her,
:37.320 --> :41.940 and I just couldn’t deal with my mom and her
bulls*** any longer. They left the backdoor
:41.940 --> :47.100
unguarded, so I escaped through the backdoor and
the gate that lead out to the neighborhood. I
:47.100 --> :51.780
walked around for a while, trying to remember
the path to my dad’s house. But I decided to
:51.780 --> :56.220 got to my school first so that I could go
through my school day the next day and then
:56.220 --> :01.620
try to walk to dad’s house. But they found me
and my mom shouted at me to get in the car,
:01.620 --> :06.600 and that the police were coming. Which I
learned was another BS lie from her. (She
:06.600 --> :11.220 loves to use CPS against me. That whole
thing is a story of its own). I told :11.220 --> :15.420
her no and could see the look on her face that she was infuriated with me.
:15.420 --> :21.060
I got in the car because she was taking me to
my father’s house, which I doubted. But she did
:21.060 --> :26.100
end up taking me there. Of course, not without
saying how selfish I am and how she could have
:26.100 --> :31.680 lost her job and look what I did to everyone
and why was I being so ungrateful and how she
:31.680 --> :37.560
was going to never get me anything ever again. You
know, what you say when your child runs away. Her
:37.560 --> :41.820 boyfriend tried to reason with me, but I was
determined at the time to get away from them,
:41.820 --> :46.680 and never see them again. I was weighing
my options while we drove, and when we got
:46.680 --> :51.660 to my father’s house, mom got out of the car
and talked to dad, shouting at him for like,
:51.660 --> :56.820
thirty minutes. While she was gone, her boyfriend
talked to me, and made a deal. We were going to
:56.820 --> :01.500
go to Michigan in October, so he proposed that
I follow along with the boot camp until then,
:01.500 --> :08.160
and then we can go back to normal, no boot camp
or anything. I accepted, but the ‘normal’ didn’t
:08.160 --> :12.960 seem to add onto my phone. (Another event
confirmed this. But that's for later). So
:12.960 --> :16.980 I would have to find a job, which I won’t
complain about, I needed to do that anyway. :16.980 --> :21.420
The boyfriend leaves to tell mom, my
brother and I stay with my father overnight,
:21.420 --> :26.820
he also mentioned how I needed to grow up, which
did not help at all with everything I had to deal
:26.820 --> :32.040 with. I discovered I could use discord on
my computer, and told all my friends what
:32.040 --> :37.500
happened. (Two of them are, like, actual adults)
and they all thought that it was f***ing insane. :40.020 --> :14.880
This will be the end of Part 1, Part 2 will be
posted. (2/2) Fast-forward to the day before
:14.880 --> :20.580
we leave to go on the plane. We have all of our
things packed, I was already in a bad mood since
:20.580 --> :25.920 mom tossed out all the stuff I had packed in
my suitcase and ridiculed me for packing safe.
:25.920 --> :32.160
Like having extra shirts, sweatpants to sleep in,
extra undergarments because my time of the month
:32.160 --> :38.220
is late, like, literally everything that could
be reasonable. But I could look past it. But this
:38.220 --> :44.040
is what broke any trust that my mom respected
boundaries. I was about to take a shower when
:44.040 --> :49.860
I caught her in my room behind my back with all
of my things on the bed. I told her to quit it,
:49.860 --> :55.080
and to stop taking my stuff. She then lectured
me on why I didn’t need these and walked off,
:55.080 --> :01.380
with my s***! I was so p***** off and I knew she
went in to look behind my back on purpose without
:01.380 --> :06.660
me knowing because she did not ask to look in
it. I told her what was in it. Two power cells,
:06.660 --> :13.560 chargers, etc. Normal s***. But then…
THEN. She had the audacity, the nerve, :13.560 --> :18.960
to tell me that she wasn’t at my beckon&call
when I wanted my stuff back and where it was.
:18.960 --> :24.420
I complained to her that this broke trust that
I could leave my personal belongings alone. They
:24.420 --> :29.640
kept making fun of the pencils I had. I did have
a lot, but that's because I collect lost ones I
:29.640 --> :34.440
find at school. They kept using the excuse that
it was for TSA, but she could have told me that
:34.440 --> :39.540
she wanted to look through it or ask me to take
stuff out that might get us in trouble. That
:39.540 --> :44.700
would have been fine. But she deliberately goes
behind my back to search through my bag and not
:44.700 --> :50.040 tell me. I was p*****, I found the stuff and
hid it for me to take back when we get back. :50.040 --> :55.800
My mother, in the heat of an argument with me
about how I felt my privacy had been breached and
:55.800 --> :01.200
she shouldn’t be looking through her 18-year-old
daughter’s things, told me I was not welcome back
:01.200 --> :06.600
in her house when I moved out. Oh, I should add,
I said I didn’t want to join the military while in
:06.600 --> :12.480
earshot of my mother, and she decided to shame me,
tell me how much rent and s*** was meant to be,
:12.480 --> :18.960
and tell me I either joined the military or I move
out. So I’m moving out. She stormed upstairs with
:18.960 --> :24.900
her boyfriend. He thought I was overreacting, but
he also thought she was overreacting. So he did
:24.900 --> :29.040
vouch for me and say how she was in the wrong.
I know this because she barreled downstairs,
:29.040 --> :34.020 demanding to know if I took what she said
seriously. To keep me out of her argument,
:34.020 --> :38.880 I said ‘No’. So I felt pretty good
watching her get herself in trouble more. :38.880 --> :44.580
Right now, I’m in Michigan. Once this week is up,
boot camp is over, and I can work and do things on
:44.580 --> :49.020
my own time. There will be updates on the s***
storm to come when I start working without my
:49.020 --> :54.060
mother’s permission. I’ll take your guy’s advice
and sue her if she refuses to hand me my legal
:54.060 --> :58.620
documents. I don’t know about my birth certificate
because I don’t know how I’m getting to Alaska,
:58.620 --> :04.740
but I’ll get my SSN card and a new federal ID.
I have mine with my mother’s sponsor on it,
:04.740 --> :07.980 so I think that might be enough to
get a new one without her on it. :07.980 --> :12.240
Thank you for everyone’s support and advice,
if you have any more or are/have gone through
:12.240 --> :16.740
something like this, please leave something in
the comments. I want to know I’m not the only one. | give me a good story on rEntitledParentsMYGIRLFRIENDSMOTHERISAPSYCHOPATHRedditStoriesen |

what is the most terrifying thing you've
ever experienced while home alone I was about 21 or 22 and living by myself at
the time and I left my window open on a pleasant night it was low enough to the
ground that you could get in if you really tried but the screen wasn't easy
to take off and I lived in a fairly safe neighborhood so I didn't even think
twice about it woke up in the middle of the night because I smelled smoke and I
reached out to turn on my lamp and my hand hit what was very obviously a
person my brain fully woke up at that point and I realized there was a
shirtless man in my bedroom smoking a cigarette and staring at me I remember
yelling for him to get out and I must have spooked him just as badly as he
spooked me because he left out my window
and took off I slammed it shut and moved a bookcase in front of it and when I
went out the next morning in the daylight found the screen sitting
against the house didn't sleep the rest of the night and I haven't slept with a
window more than cracked ever since I also absolutely refused to live on the
ground floor of a building I don't know if he was planning to rob me or rope me
or both but it was absolutely terrifying and makes me wonder how many times it
happened and I didn't wake up | give me a good story on whatisthemostterrifyingthingyouveexperiencedwhilehomealoneshorts |

sacrificed everything to maintain a long-distance relationship with my
girlfriend in college then I found out she dropped out cheated on me in Mexico
and started an only finess Hillary and I
have been together for nearly four years she moved to the city during our junior
year of high school and we quickly became fast friends I have never
connected with someone as deeply as I did with her we set our I love yous on
the second day we spent together the first two years were the two most
incredible years of my life we went on to University together we literally
spent almost every single day together Hillary was everything I could have ever
asked for and I thought she was the one I felt lucky to have someone like her
the first 2 years she would always bring up marriage and kids and things like
that I was all in we knew we wanted to go to the same college she was going to
take a teaching degree and I was going to tackle engineering but time came for
me to take my diploma exam and I didn't get the grade I needed in order to get
into engineering then things sort of just changed for me it's like my whole
future collapsed I watched as my dreams of becoming an engineer shattered before
my eyes the disappointment and frustration weighed heavily on me
casting a dark shadow over everything as my friends celebrated their successes
and made plans for the future I felt like I was standing still frozen in time
Hillary noticed the change in me the way I retreated into myself and became
distant At first she tried to cheer me up reminding me that there were other
paths to take other dreams to pursue but I couldn't shake off the sense of
failure that clung to me like a heavy cloak I felt like a failure from there a
couple of buddies of mine urged me to go into geological Sciences it was
something that I had an interest in but never really thought of how I could make
a career out of it as it was always just a hobby but I decided to give it a shot
the only catch was the college that the program was in was in a different city
altogether and about a 12-hour drive from the college that Hillary had been
accepted to for her teaching degree I applied to the program without telling
her yeah I know bad boyfriend but I knew that she'd try to talk me out of it and
I just had already felt low for not getting into the engineering program
that I had planned on I ended up getting accepted into the program but the
excitement of getting accepted quickly turned to dread because I still hadn't
told her of what my new plan was how could I be so selfish to choose my own
path over Hillary's and potentially risk our relationship in the process I ended
up sitting her down and mustering up the courage to break the news to her she
didn't say much just nodded as if processing the information then she said
that she's already been accepted to the college we had originally planned to go
together and she wasn't going to walk away from that I encouraged her not to
she was mad upset disappointed all of it but she said that she didn't want to
hold me back I said that we would talk text video chat every day if we needed I
said I'd come back for all of the big holidays and for the fall and spring
breaks but when I was in school the longdistance combined with school and
work started to put a serious strain on me and I knew it had put a strain on our
relationship soon enough in hindsight it may have been foolish but I made the
decision to prioritize her above all else she became the most important thing
in my life I felt like an ass for leaving her and The Biggest Loser for
moving away from all of my friends and family I ended up doing really bad that
year because I'd skip class just to video chat with her I'd stay up late
talking to her and lose focus skip out on assignments and I ended up on
academic probation I considered dropping out but my family insisted I stick it
out I ended up being really depressed she seemed to be flourishing and doing
really well she said she missed me but she said that she wasn't going anywhere
and that it was only temporary she said we were doing this for our future so
that's what kept me going she basically gave me some tough love and I sort of
snapped out of it there were weekends that she had said she planned to come
out to see me but then she'd back out last minute she said an assignment came
up where she wanted to spend the weekend studying and so I didn't want to take
her away from that I just looked at this more so as business I had a job to do
and she had a job to do we were building our future together I came back for
Christmas and hardly saw her I chocked it up to the fact that Christmas is a
busy time of year and we both had family to see and visit and everyone sort of
wanted a piece of me while I was finally in town except for my own girlfriend
then spring break came around she kept telling me how excited she was to see me
in all of the things she had planned but then I came back and she said that she
was super sick I went to drop off some homemade soup and sandwiches one night
but it was a quick high and buy she didn't even kiss me on the lips because
she said she didn't want to get me sick I was bummed when I went back to school
I worked my ass off trying to better myself so that I was going into my
second year on the right foot I ended up finding my groove and finally it was
summer break and I came back home although I was unhappy and struggling
with depression I never let it show I took responsibility for my emotions and
tried my best to make her happy our once thriving relationship had changed but I
attributed it to a settling into a routine in the end of the honeymoon
phase suddenly she began expressing her strong opposition to having children
even though I had never brought up the topic and still didn't want kids this
was also when she casually mentioned that she could live without getting
married a warning sign that I overlooked but despite these hints I chose to
ignore them suddenly I thought okay maybe I don't want to get married and
maybe I didn't want to be a dad I was willing to put all of that aside for her
during this time I came close to Landing
a dream job quite a few times but always
came up just short and each time I could sense her respect for me dwindling it
was an internship that would have gotten my foot in the door I told myself to
stop being irrational and paranoid and again ignored something that should have
been a red flag that brings us to our last year together when we first started
dating we had segs pretty much all the time like we'd skip class to go and do
the deed we both have high drives and it was amazing but this past year we had
sex a grand total of three times I mean granted I wasn't around but still while
I was away she talked about what she'd do to me when I got back as if she was
going to jump my bones the first chance she got but it wasn't like that at all
and each time it was her doing me a favor after I had basically begged her
despite constantly asking she always responded with I don't feel attractive
however I honored her wishes and remained by her side because my love for
her was too strong during this time my relationships with all my friends
deteriorated a bit mostly because I was struggling with being away trying to
balance school and maintain my relationship with her and I was battling
depression real bad and during this time I will say she was working hard and
really taking care of herself she lost some weight and she was looking
particularly delicious she started regularly going to the gym and quickly
lost a significant amount of weight physically she was almost unrecognizable
and her personality seemed to change as well she became emotionally distant from
me no longer displaying the neediness and clinginess that characterized our
relationship before even when she showed me affection it felt forced and
insincere I tried talking to her about it multiple times but she always
reassured me that everything was fine I convinced myself that I was overthinking
things and that my insecurities were getting the best of me thanks to reading
too many similar stories on Reddit being around her became unbe yet I couldn't
bring myself to end things in case it was all in my head I desperately wanted
concrete proof of what I was feeling well one day I had enough and I told her
that it doesn't even feel like we're in a relationship anymore we got in this
huge fight I felt like I was talking to a stranger someone I once knew so
intimately but now couldn't recognize Hillary said that it was all in my head
and that everything was fine she said she was just working hard towards our
future and that I needed to trust her but deep down I knew something wasn't
right it was as if a dark cloud had settled over our relationship casting a
shadow on everything we once had I couldn't shake the feeling that she was
slipping away from me she said I just needed to focus on me and stay on track
she said everything was fine then she suggested that we go to Mexico for
spring break she said it would be a perfect place to let loose and just
relax and spend some intimate time together I quickly jumped at the idea
and we both spent the night excited invigorated looking at allinclusive
packages we eventually found one that worked for the both of us and we were
going to meet each other there well a few days before we were supposed to
leave she drps this bomb saying that she
can't go anymore Hillary told me she had to work on an important project and
couldn't take the time off to go on the trip I was disappointed I sort of
flipped out but she then she got mad at me saying that she was doing this for us
and that I needed to be more understanding I said she was leaving me
with this big bill now that should have been split between the two of us and not
only that but this trip was supposed to save our relationship that it didn't
even feel like she was putting first anymore then she said that I was being
unreasonable and selfish and that I didn't understand how hard she was
working and that everything she was doing was for me and the relationship I
then backed off I tried to understand the importance of her work and didn't
want to pressure her into coming with me but I couldn't help but feel like I had
been sacrificing my own happiness and well-being for the sake of our
relationship only to be met with accusations of not being supportive
enough it felt like a slap in the face she said that I should still go on the
trip and that she will call me every night and we can video chat she said
that the trip would be good for me to cut back and relax and get my mind off
of school I ultimately went to Mexico by myself on the nights that we were
supposed to video chat she'd say she had to turn in early so we only talk for
about 20 minutes at a time well one night she said good night and we said
our goodbyes and then I'm scrolling through Instagram and I watch a mutual
friend of ours story and she's at a bar taking shots and Hillary is with her I'm
like him maybe this is an old video and our friend is just posting this now then
I go on to messenger and it says that Hillary was active 30 minutes ago well
she said she was going to bed 2 hours ago so what is she doing still up then I
go on to Snapchat but Hillary has turned
off her live location usually she shares her location but I've I've never really
had to use it okay then I go back to Instagram and I message our friend and I
ask what bar that is she responds and says it's a certain bar and she sends a
photo of a drink in her hand so I know it's Liv I know she's there right now
and I know Hillary is there I text Hillary and I say I thought you were
sleeping then I try to go back and see the story again but our friend has
deleted it hm well now I'm fuming Hillary doesn't respond I try to go to
sleep but I can't it's still early and there's a bar down by the beach that's
still opens so I get dressed and go down for some drinks I end up meeting some
people there and there's an attractive woman there who's pretty flirty with me
Heidi we end up drinking together and she asks me to come back to her room she
rubs my leg I put my hand down to sort of stop her from going any further and I
say that I'm super flattered but that I'm seeing somebody she apologizes she
says she didn't know and she totally respects that we end up adding icho
there on Instagram and it being totally harmless and I add a few more of the
group of people there that she's with as
well we all end up hanging out a bit and I actually really enjoyed myself I I
spent the rest of the vacation with that group anyways she doesn't respond to my
text and the next morning I send another and I sent then about 2 hours later she
responds and she says oh sorry she went out with Trish who is our mutual friend
and she says Trish needed to get out and asked me last minute she said Trish
needed a friend I was like why did you lie she said she didn't like she just
didn't feel the need to text me because she thought I'd be sleeping and then I
say why did she think I was sleeping because I'm here alone and you think I'm
a loser and she said wo where did that come from and and I say I didn't go to
bed either I went to a bar myself that night and met some cool people then I
guess there is a photo that I was tagged in and Heidi's arm was around me in the
photo but there was a group of us in it so then she forwards me that photo an
hour later and she says cool people huh and I read it and don't respond that
night I have a buddy of mine text me and tell me that she was at the bar with
Trish and Hill and that hill was seing with another guy and I say what what guy
and then he sends me a text of Hill sitting on some randoms lap my buddy
then sends another and it's of this guy kissing her neck then he sends another
and they're dancing but basically on top of each other well then I'm in Mexico
all by myself and find out my girlfriend is cheating on me my buddy texts me and
says that he's sorry and then I'm like don't be sorry and I sent a screenshot
of the woman who tried to get with me the night before then he says you know
what I would do and I did I did know what my friend would do so I went into
Instagram and messaged Heidi and asked her out for dinner we end up going for
this lovely dinner and sitting at this poolside bar we get to know each other
and she asks me what happened to what I said earlier
and I said earlier and she said you're seeing somebody and I said yeah forget I
ever said that I then go on to tell her basically my life story and I show her
those photos of hill with some random guy Heidi then says that her offer still
stands did I take her up on that offer hell yeah I did she even grabbed my
phone and took a selfie of her mouth on a certain part of my anatomy and I'll
let you guess which one let's just say I came to Mexico to feel relaxed and to
get my mind off of school and my mind was definitely not on school later that
night we put those pictures of Hill and her new guy up on my social stories and
said Miss Hillary is a cheater who will be teaching the next Generations do you
want her teaching your future kids then she texts me and says how could you do
this what are you thinking you're out of your mind all that jazz she said how
could you treat your girlfriend like this I said girlfriend I'm single I can
do whatever I want in Paradise then I sent her the photo of Heidi making me
feel good and tell her I'm doing this for my future update one quick update I
come back from Mexico and find out that Hill has an only fans account another
buddy of mine screenshot her account and sent it to me and it's definitely her
guess she's been real busy since I've been away for school I sent the
screenshots to her family and friends and by this point I don't even care then
it comes out that Hill wasn't even going to school she dropped out in the first
semester because she had failed some classes but had managed to pretend like
she was going she was actually just creating a following on only fans she
took on this person a of Mill update too back again Hillary's actions had Brad
her implications for her family's reputation and social standing within
their Community see her father was actually a man of pretty big importance
and ended up losing some pretty big clients her father's reputation took a
hit that even he couldn't recover from they went through so much strain that
her parents ended up getting divorced and her dad moved out of town I'm not
sure where he ended up I never asked but
i' talked to Hill sister still from time to time I guess their mom isn't talking
to Hill she's not allowed home and she's
been working at some Dollar Tree but her only fans isn't active anymore Hill and
her family are totally disgraced they've lost everything I feel bad for her
sister meanwhile I'm finishing up school and I feel like I'm in a really good
place I finally got my head out of my ass and met some new people here it's
starting to feel like home and I even talked to Heidi a bit here and there and
she's planning on coming out to see me next month we're not putting any
expectations in it we're friends she's cool and we're just having fun for the
first time in well ever I don't regret moving here and doing something for
myself I guess not getting into engineering turned out to be one of the
best things that could have ever happened to me life's weird now on to
the next story story two came home early from my exhausting job to surprise my
wife and found a love letter she wrote to another man so I told his wife about
the months long Affair then divorced her I was married to my wife Lily in my
mid-30s she was 33 then and we were a basic family who had the bare minimum no
kids which I was grateful for she wanted a new kitchen and that meant one thing
longer hours at work for me and barely enough time to be home when she got back
from school she was a school teacher by the way I thought getting her what she
wanted was going to make her happier but it didn't
instead she would barely look at me while I tried conversing with her and
she answered with Curt nods when I asked
questions it went on like this for weeks I was coming back tired to my distant
wife one day at work I began to sweat profusely even when it was less than 20°
outside my cooworker who happened to see
me rub my eyes to clear my blurry vision insisted I go home I had painkillers to
help me get my head together before climbing into my truck and driving home
this was the first time in months that I was going home early it was going to
surprise Lily I parked my truck out front when I realized realized she
wasn't back yet by the time I was heading for the door I noticed there was
mail in the Box I was never the one to check the mail because my wife got home
before I did but this mail got my attention I grabbed it and checked who
it was for it was an address not too far
away and within the city with our return address and the sender was Lily it was
natural to ignore the mail knowing she was always sending something like this
but then I found it weird that the recipient address was still in this town
not too far from where I lived my curiosity caught the best of me and I
opened it up especially because the envelope was pink and had faint cute
heart sprinkled on it it wasn't anything you'd send a serious letter and AER
bells in my head were already going off and the dizziness felt earlier at work
washed away my finger pulled at the print inside and my heart broke at what
I saw nudes they were nudes her nudes that wasn't all there was a handwritten
letter telling the recipient to enjoy with my blood boiling and my head hot I
closed it up and studied the address again knowing the place was a few
streets away I climbed into my truck I finally found the apartment clean and
freshly painted I stayed in my truck watching to see if anyone was in when
right at that moment a new car pulled up to the driveway the man who I guess is
the owner stepped out and I followed with the mail in hand the man turned to
me in confusion pretending to be delivering a package I handed the mail
to him and in 3 seconds when he realized who it was from his eyes widened it
surprised me how calm I was no fist throwing no tongue lashing just a
straight stare at the man in front of me
I noticed the woman on the other side of the door watching us curiously his wife
I suppose assuring him I wouldn't make a scene I told him to come with me and he
obliged with no hesitation giving his wife the excuse of going to see a friend
and entered my truck I stopped by a phone booth along the way and called
Lily she was back home and from the sound in the background I could tell she
was making her special tea I gave her the news of an emergency and told her
that she should meet me at her parents house her instant response was expected
and I hung up heading back to the car I drove up to her parents house without
saying a word to the man having an affair with Lily by the time I rounded
up at her parents house Lily had just arrived it wasn't
her reaction I mean her mouth fell open as she saw the man next to me her
parents who had just stepped outside found us and were confused by what was
going on I told the man to hand the mail over to her parents and explain himself
it didn't take too long for my wife to start crying she tried to explain but
her sobs made it hard for her the man she was having an affair with understood
that The Jig was up and explained that this had been going on for months they
had met at a parent teacher meeting in school and he had shown interest in her
even knowing she was married Lily never tried to turn him down
instead she bathed in his attention and made it something more her parents were
stunned by the information Lily was already clinging to my shirt crying but
I brushed her off I couldn't believe that she would betray me like this so I
told her to stay with her parents she started crying harder begging me not to
do this to our family her parents were extremely upset asking me to reconsider
and trying to console their daughter but
I just left I left the app with them too I wonder what they did to him after I
left because her dad was looking murderous a few days later I filed for a
divorce and sent it over to her for signing her parents kept on calling as
did Lily and she kept sending me mail by
morning and evening delivery in the same pink envelop she sent app nudes too
that's when I realized she was just incredibly dumb I found the app's phone
number from the directory and called his wife to tell her about everything that
happened between Lily and her husband I don't know what she did with that piece
of information some months later my divorce was finalized a few years down
the line I met a wonderful woman who I married and started a family with I
don't regret leaving my ex one bit because I would not have the life I have

busted my wife cheating so I ended her a fair partner's marriage I'm at a
complete loss I don't know what to do there were signs and I overlooked them I
was blinded by love and never imagined this would happen to me not with her my
wife and best friend of nearly 20 years I work out of town and wasn't supposed
to be back until tonight we were supposed to leave for a two-e road trip
tomorrow things were slow at work so I came home yesterday afternoon this trip
was to give us a little alone time since we've been so busy with family and
friends this summer when I got home there was a truck in my driveway that I
didn't recognize my neighbor just recently asked me how I like the new
truck but I thought he was mistaken and didn't think much of it as soon as I
could see the truck I got a terrible gut feeling I love my wife and trusted her
completely but that feeling was there and strong I snuck around the side of
the house to our bedroom window it was open and I could hear them as I got
close I looked in the window and my worst fear was confirmed they were right
there completely naked on my bed I walked away I've been fighting the urge
to do something that I know I will regret I'm struggling to care what
happens to me at this point I went to my family's cabin for the night and drank
everything there today I was on my way home to confront her and decided against
it I'm not ready all I can feel is anger all I can think about is violence I'm
not in a good place right now not good enough to see her I'm back at the cabin
right now I have a 60 ounces of rum and I've been staring at it for an hour I
want to get drunk and forget this but I don't want to get drunk and make bad
decisions I know this is a critical moment in my life and my actions in the
coming days will dictate the rest of my life that's why I'm here I need help I'm
not ready to speak to family or friends so I'm reaching out to strangers
this world update busted wife cheating the amount of support and advice I've
received is unbelievable I actually got choked up just realizing how many great
people there are out there willing to help a stranger it gives me a bit of
Hope for the world at a moment when I needed it most the downside to all of
this support is that I am struggling to respond to people I have over 600
private messages on red and several hundred comments on red I want to say
thank you to everyone individually and I'm going to make an effort to do that
but it won't be quick so I will just start by giving a big thank you to
everyone for your kind messages and helpful advice it really means a lot to
me I have noticed several comments and questions that keep popping up and
wanted to provide clar CL it in addition to my minor update if you can't tell I
am feeling a lot better today the pain almost completely went away I still feel
like I've been punched in the gut but otherwise I begun looking to the Future
it has been 2 days so this doesn't seem right to me is this a calm before the
storm or am I just freakishly resilient as for the questions and comments I've
received here are some cliff notes to clarify some things when I said wife and
best friend I was referring to the two roles my wife played in my life the
other guy was not my best friend or even
someone I knew I didn't get a great look at him but from the quick glance and
seeing his vehicle I don't feel like this is someone I know we do not have
kids we were planning to have them soon though we recently sold our house and we
set to move closer to my job in September when the new owners take
possession I am going to thank my neighbor but I'm going to do it subtly
like he did for me a lot of people have been asking me about the signs I
mentioned overlooking off the top of my head here are a few was texting
abnormally late at night went for after work drinks with friends regularly this
was not like her but I was glad that she was being social she had yoga once a
week but was apparently not paying because one of her co-workers was the
instructor and she was helping with setup and cleanup I also thought she was
very inflexible for someone who went to yoga unknown caller Hang-Ups we
regularly answer each other's phones if we are closer to it several times she
had an unknown caller who would hang up as soon as I answered we get a lot of
spam calls but usually it's a telemarketer or a debt collector looking
for the previous owner of the number rarely it's a hang-up the update is a
work in progress when my brother arrived we had a good long talk he has been my
true best friend and I realized I need to always remember that and know that he
will always be there for me without judgment the same way way I would be for
him he really sets the standard for what
a true friendship is even if we fight on
occasion since I was supposed to be home last night I decided to respond to my
wife's text we aren't allowed to have phones on site so it was reasonable for
me to only be texting her she knows it's easy for me to sneak in some texts I
wrote her and said I needed to go to one of my company's remote sites and
wouldn't be able to call her until the end of the weekend I told her that I
would cancel all of the reservations and
rebook later she said she could take her
best friend with her this weekend to the
romantic bed and breakfast on a Vineyard that I booked I knew it wasn't the best
friend she wanted me to think would be going I told her that I already gave it
to my brother and his wife since it was non-refundable and they would pay me
back in a month this morning I canceled all of the reservations except the
Romantic one my brother is coming with me fortunately the hotel let us switch
from the honeymoon suite to a room with two beds there also happens to be a
really nice Lake and boat rentals nearby so this just turned into a long overdue
fishing trip with my brother this means I am free for the weekend I don't have
to write her or talk to her for a few days so that relieves some stress and
gives me more time to think I am currently in the mindset to get a
divorce I honestly can't see it any other way
my brother is supportive of this but has asked me to take a few weeks and speak
to someone his wife has a friend who is a couple's counselor and is willing to
talk to me on Monday I don't see it changing my mind but at least it might
help untangle some of this mess for me I am also taking a bunch of the advice on
here and starting to speak to lawyers at the very least to prepare for what I
think is inevitable I want to do this right I've never thought of her as
someone who would try to screw me over but I also never expected her to cheat
so I think I need to be prepared for anything thanks again everyone I'm going
to try to enjoy my weekend as much as possible update 2 busted my wife
cheating a lot has happened in the past few days I'll start with the less
important stuff my brother Matt and I drove nearly 5 hours to the BNB on the
vineyard I really appreciate him being there for me through this it was more of
a venting session than anything but it really helped clear my head after
spending the better part of the drive whining to him I just wanted a little
alone time while he wanted to go out for dinner I stayed in the room and he went
out to eat and took me back some food he
also managed to rent a boat for the next day on Saturday we hit the water the
owner of the BNB knew about our plans for fishing and was nice enough to pack
us a small cooler of food and drinks it was their way of making the Romantic
package more useful for two brothers it was a nice gesture fishing wasn't good
we both caught a couple of trout that we had to release due to their size so the
snacks from the BNB worked out great we stopped fishing at midafternoon and then
drove around to all of The Vineyards and fruit stands buying food and cases of
wine for Matt's wife Jen that night we went for the biggest Tomahawk Steak we
could find on Sunday we drove back to Matt's place he lives in the next town
over for me which is about an hour away from my place when we arrived Jen was
there and we all sat and cracked a bottle of white we had chilling in the
cooler this is when the weekend officially ended for me Jen told me that
while we were away that she decided to go spy on my wife she told me that the
guy was at my place on Friday night all night but on Saturday morning she
managed to get there just as he was leaving she followed him home and found
the apartment where he lived my wife stayed over there on Saturday night the
same time she was sending me text messages saying she loves me and misses
me Jen said that she was splitting her time between visiting family who live in
my town and stalking my wife she said that she happened to catch my wife
leaving his apartment on Sunday morning and took a few pics of them hugging and
kissing before she got into her car I don't want to see them that pretty much
sealed the deal for me I don't think I could ever trust her again if she can
turn it on and off so easily to tell me she loves me while being with a
different guy still I decided that I am not going to jump to a knee-jerk
reaction based on emotions I need to remain calm and level that's when Jen
told me that Sharon was coming over for dinner Sharon is the counselor that Jen
set me up with an appointment for to clarify she has never met my wife and
this was my first time meeting her as well Sharon was a very nice person and
we got along great after dinner Sharon and I went for a walk around Matt's
neighorhood Hood to walk the dogs and have a bit of a private conversation
Sharon was really helpful in the fact that she was a great listener and made
me feel like I didn't need to be guarded it was therapeutic to be that free with
describing my feelings as much as I am comfortable with my brother this was
just different and very needed it's the same reason why I like writing this on
Reddit it's a vent session that helps me
untangle some of the mess in my head our walk lasted an hour and the only real
advice that Sharon gave me was to not delay the conversation with my wife she
said that the longer I wait the harder it will become to talk to her about this
she said I need Clarity more than anything at this point and my wife is
the only person that can give that to me
later that night Jan and Matt offered me to stay with them for as long as
necessary I know that Matt and I have an experi period for being in close
quarters with each other so I spoke to my boss who was able to set me up in
company housing I've been staying there every second week for a while but have
to leave on days off he managed to make it work for me to stay full-time for a
few months if I needed I decided to rebook with Sharon for later this week I
figured our walk sufficed for the first session she agreed I spent the night on
Sunday just laying in bed thinking about how to approach this I struggled with
this because even the imaginary scenario
IO in my head was making my angry or sad I decided I would just wing it I'm
usually good Under Pressure yesterday I woke up and said my goodbyes to Matt and
Jen I drove towards home and was thinking what if he was there when I
arrived then I thought that it would likely just put me back in the angry
spot I was a few days ago I decided to do a drive by first neither his truck or
my wife's car were there I went inside and grabbed a bunch of Essentials and
things I don't want to part with mainly just some photos and old family
heirlooms I got them all packed up in my truck and then headed over to the guy's
apartment her car wasn't there either but his truck was I decided to her to
see where she was she said she was getting groceries I trust her so little
right now that I drove by the grocery store and actually confirmed she was
there I feel so dirty admitting that I did that but my trust is broken and it's
the only way I can be certain of anything I wrote her again and told her
to just come home because we need to talk she wrote back what's wrong I just
responded and said she needs to be ready to be honest and then turned my phone
off she got home 15 minutes later when she came in she came over to give me a
hug and kiss like she does every time I turned away from her she asked me again
what was wrong so I told her that she needs to to start being honest with me
she played Dumb and said she had no idea what I was talking about I said okay if
you can't be honest them I am leaving she started panicking at this point and
said are you talking about yoga I figured it was a start I asked her what
she was talking about and she told me that she hadn't been going to yoga
here's a bit of a breakdown of the rest of the conversation me if you weren't
going to yoga then where were you going her I was taking walks to relax because
I've been so stressed lately me why were you so stressed and why did you lie to
me about what you were doing her prepare in for the move has been stressing me
out and I just didn't know how to tell you me so lying was the decision you
made what was your concern with telling me that you were going for a walk to
Dess her I didn't mean to lie I was worried that my stress would add to your
stress me but I'm not stressed it really seems like you are not telling me
everything her what do you mean me I think that you're lying about more than
just skipping yoga I am asking you again to be honest you've already lied to me
so this can't work if you keep lying her
I don't know what else to say oh are you talking about last weekend when I went
for drinks with some friends and came home late I had a feeling that bothered
you I had no clue that she went for drinks or was out late I was at work a
couple hours away me is that what you actually did that night or was that a
lie as well her I went for drinks that night but I didn't see her best friend
who she supposedly was with that night me who did you see her no one I just
drank alone me you drink alone now her yeah maybe I have a problem me maybe
we'll talk about that later last chance be Hest or I'm leaving her um I don't
know what else to say me okay I'm leaving at this point I got up and left
usually when we have an argument I go for a drive to get away from her she
probably thought this was the same then she realized I took my clothes and
toiletries as well as the Xbox that's when she began blowing up my phone I
told her that I gave her a chance to be honest and she didn't so there's nothing
left to say she begged and pleaded with me to come home to talk about this in
person she said she had no idea why I was so upset or what I think she did she
repeated that she loved me and would never hurt me just hearing her say that
really tore a new hole in my chest it was always comforting words that I
believed without question now it's a dull Jagged knife sawing through my
heart in the most devastating way I couldn't handle it so I hung up she
called back about 40 times before I was ready to answer again this time she said
did you talk to Karen her best friend I asked why and she said come home I don't
want to say this over the phone I agreed and drove around a little longer to get
my heart rate back down then I went home that conversation went like this her I
assume you spoke to Karen me her well a few weeks ago while you were at work we
went for drinks a couple of guys started
buying us drinks so we just played along when we were leaving one of the guys
tried to kiss me I pulled away immediately and told him I was married I
felt so bad about it and wanted to tell you but I'm an idiot and just decided to
hide it from you Karen hooked up with the other guy and gave his friend my
number without asking me he has texted me a few times since but I have never
written him back me can I see your phone her yes she showed me her phone which
was completely empty of texts except for myself and her mother she never deletes
her texts so this was new I looked at her photos which was also clean but then
I checked the deleted photos and found one of a guy I didn't recognize me who
is this her that's the guy who tried to kiss me me why did you take a picture of
him her I was just being stupid me that's not a reason why did you take a
picture of him her I don't know me is that everything you want to tell me or
is there more her that's all I can think
of once again I left I didn't want to be trickle truthed I got in my truck and
drove away she ran out side trying to stop me but I was already Out Of Reach I
went to the park nearby and just sat on my tailgate and ate my lunch trying to
figure out what to do next while there I began remembering other things that I
should have been more aware of things like I was working a weekend shift and
was in bed early my wife went out to the club with a few of her girlfriends I
woke up at 4:00 a.m. and she still wasn't home I called her a few times but
there was no answer about 30 minutes later she called me back and asked if I
would come and get her when I picked her up she told me that they were trying to
hail a taxi but had no luck a couple of guys that her friend knew stopped and
offered them a ride but wanted to stop at home first when they got to the GU
house her married friend went into room with one of the guys my wife said she
spent some time looking for her but then eventually gave up and just had a drink
in the kitchen with her roommates while she waited she claims she didn't hear
her phone when I tried calling we fought about this and she was disgusted by her
friend's actions so she cut that friend out of her life I thought that was over
another time she traveled to visit a close friend in a different city it was
a planned girls night there were four girls all getting drunk and watching
movies in their PJs at least that's what I was told then she called me around
1:00 a.m. to good night we spoke for about 20 minutes and she repeatedly told
me that they were having a great girls night then I heard a guy's voice in the
background I asked who it was and she denied hearing anything at first then it
happened again loudly she couldn't deny it so she was like oh yeah X took a
couple of guys with her everyone here is super pissed about it she was drunk and
3 hours away she left me no choice but to trust her again we fought about that
and why she refused to tell me they were there she promised never to put herself
in that type of situation again clearly that didn't stick after remembering all
of those things and the conversations we had about them I was ready to give this
one last shot I turned my phone back on and almost immediately it rang I
answered and she was screaming for me to come home I drove back to the house I
walked inside and was immediately confronted by her balling her eyes out
she was sitting on the couch repeating I'm so sorry I'm so sorry I asked her
sorry for what she began rocking back and forth like a crazy person it took
her a good 5 minutes to catch her breath
enough to speak her I lied about the guy who tried to kiss me me okay tell me
what happened her the four of us actually went back to his place that
night we fooled around I knew it was more than that but just hearing her say
it made me feel dizzy it felt like the room was getting smaller and there were
a million people speaking into my ears at the same time I think I was having a
panic attack I went to the bathroom and washed my face in cold water until
things returned to normal me what did you do her do you want me to actually
tell you me yes her he fingered me and I gave him a blow job me was that it her
yes me I'm not playing this game any longer you either tell me me everything
right now or this will be the last time we speak she began balling again and
took another few minutes before she was able to speak her we met up again and
had sex I'm so sorry I love you and we do anything to make up for this me just
the one time her if I tell you the truth
please give me a chance to do anything I can to make up for it please me I'll
think about it her it was an affair we had been hooking up while you're out of
town for work it's been going on for almost a month now he is married and
they are about to get divorced me does he know you're married her yes me if
he's having an affair because his marriage is failing does that mean you
think ours is failing is that what you told him her no I don't think ours is
failing I'm so stupid I hate myself please don't leave me I can fix this me
how her whatever you want me if you were in my shoes or even his wife's shoes
what would fix this for you her knowing the truth being able to trust you to
mean what you are saying you can trust me I screwed up and won't do that again
me if you were his wife wouldn't you want to know the truth her yes me then
fix this her you want me to call her me if you think that is what you would want
she tried calling but never got an answer a few minutes later her cell
phone rang it was listed as Karen work she looked shocked so I knew that wasn't
Karen I asked if that was him she said it was I answered and being the coward
he is he said oops I must have the wrong number I said no this is the husband of
the girl you've been cheating with I'm going to let you speak to her because
she has something to say to you I passed her the phone her I told him everything
he knows the entire truth we're done it was just a fling and now you need to
never contact me again I asked to see the phone before she hung up me what
divorce lawyer are you using him I'm not getting divorced me oh but didn't you
tell me wife that you were him no me okay then can I speak to your wife I
feel she has as much right to know about this as I do him please man I didn't
know she was married don't ruin my marriage over a mistake me you ruined
mine over a mistake it's only fair that I tell your wife him please don't she's
at work right now I will tell her everything when she gets home I swear me
okay you do that that's where I hung up I asked my wife if she knew where his
wife worked and her name she did I had my wife call over and ask for her at
work she did get her on the phone and told her to take a seat this woman said
she was just getting ready to leave for the day and she would call my wife back
from her car she did his wife what's going on my wife I have something
terrible to tell you and I don't want to cause any accidents please don't
his wife OMG did something happen too his name my wife no no he's at your
apartment right now I am just letting you know that we have been having an
affair for a month now I'm coming clean to my husband right now and thought you
should be given the same respect she went silent for about a minute then said
If this is some sick joke I will find out who you are then she hung up not
even 10 minutes later my wife got a text from Karen work saying thanks you just
ruined my life I grabbed the phone and wrote back you just ruined four lives
and two marriages don't forget that this was your fault you piece of for the
next hour my wife begged and pleaded with me to stay with her she offered
counseling she offered to never leave my side she even offered me sexual favors
this was everything that I expected thanks to the comments in here she then
said we should go on that vacation her treat we need time away was her reason
we need to spend some quality time together because my work schedule has
been pushing us apart lately also exactly what I expected her to say she
wasn't expecting me to tell her that I went anyway she also wasn't expecting me
to tell her that I already have counseling book for myself she
definitely wasn't expecting me to tell her that I busted her on my very own bed
I could only imagine she didn't expect me to have a place already lined up to
stay when I told her all of that she fell to the floor balling she started
saying how she doesn't deserve to live she told me I should just kill her right
now because she's too terrible to be with anyone it went on like that for a
while I stayed for a total of 4 hours listening to her make excuses then try
to hug me or cuddle me or even blow me if I would just stay and work through
this with her in the end I called Karen and told her that her cheating friend is
suicidal and that she should come keep an eye on her then I left it's been
almost a full day since that went down and I haven't spoken to her since she
has been calling and texting me all day her friends and family have been calling
and texting me all day everyone has a different excuse or a different plea for
empathy her father is the only one who wrote me and told me that I need to do
what is best for me and that he will always love me like a son no matter what
happens reading that was what made me have a good cry for the first time since
all of this began I meet with Sharon my counselor tomorrow and day lawyer on
Thursday I think I know where this is going but until it happens I'm just not
sure about anything I'm sorry for the overly long-winded story it just helps
to vent in this way again I really appreciate all of the comments and
messages the people sharing their own stories like this are really helping me
feel less broken and giving me more hope
I sincerely appreciate everything you've all said and done for me | give me a good story on BustedMyWifeCHEATINGsoIEndedHerAffairPartnersMarriage |

aita for wanting my husband to hug me when I'm having a panic attack I realize
this is crazy asking Reddit for this but I need some reasonable responses from
outside sources my husband 28 M and I 28f have been married for a couple years
been together more than 5 years before that we've gone through some tough
together mainly we don't communicate well when under stress he loses his
temper and I cry we have always had this
issue that when I am upset I hate having
someone explain what's happening and use words to explain the logic of my
situation to me I just need a hug that helps me calm down immediately I have
expressed this numerous times my husband refuses to do this for me he basically
says he doesn't want me to depend on him
for that Comfort when I'm having a panic attack that I should be able to get out
of it on my own our therapist has recommended that he do meditation and
that I find ways to self- soothe I am now in early pregnancy and I have always
been terrified of going through this I have severe phobia of needles and
medical things in general my first blood test is in a few days and I have been
freaking out whenever I think about it the closer it gets the more anxious I
get about the blood test and the whole pregnancy in general last night I had a
panic attack about it and he just stared at me and told me I'm having a panic
attack the more he explained what was happening to me the more alone I felt I
realized that he will not hug me when I need it most he actually told me he
doesn't want to be a life preserver so I told him I don't want him to go to any
appointments with me my mom will go with me and I will ask her to be my support
person in delivery because he will not provide the physical support I need now
so I'm scared he won't do it during what will probably be the scariest and most
traumatizing experience of my life he got very offended and left the house to
think I feel crazy am I being completely
unreasonable I just feel like this is my body and my experience and I am
terrified and as my partner he should support me the way I need to be
supported so am I the for wanting him to hug me when I'm having a
panic attack or for threatening to exclude him from the whole pregnancy
birth process because of this edit to add thank you all for your responses
both sides have given me a lot to consider we were able to have a
discussion after we both cooled down and we both admit we need to work on this
issue on my part I clearly need to pursue individual therapy ASAP to manage
this phobia better we're going to work on it | give me a good story on AITAforwantingmyhusbandtohugmewhenImhavingapanicattackorig |

first story op ripped his wife's divorce papers not what you think note some of
the information repeats a little me 27m and my wife 31f hit a rough spot and
have been separated at home for almost a
year now it was largely my fault after a
big setback and my father's death I fell into alcoholism and despair stopped
taking care of myself and neglected her when not emotionally abusing her
eventually she had enough and after I refused therapy for the nth time I
consulted a divorce lawyer and drafted papers I signed them off right away but
she didn't keeping them in her room she knew I was in a hard spot financially so
she said she'd wait for me to come into my inheritance so I could move out and
then she'd sign and file for a no fault divorce not from the US in our country
you can do this after two months of sleeping in my home office I got sick of
it and stopped drinking dived into work and overall did chores around the house
and helped her out when she commented on my change I boasted that I was doing it
for myself and not for her and she agreed because while she wanted me out
she still cared for me over the last few months she has also occasionally asked
me to sleep in bed with her and not in my home office nothing intimate happened
but still she would spoon me this until last evening we had gotten closer and
closer especially over the holidays and I told her that what I said was not true
I had changed and stopped drinking to show her at first but then I really
wanted to turn over a new leaf and be a good soon to be ex-husband she went to
her room and picked up the divorce papers setting them in front of me she
asked what we should do with those then so I ripped them and she yelled out a
big yes and then hugged me so I guess we won't be getting divorced Hy comments
objective error 4002 your wife is a keeper guard her with your life and
don't ever break her heart good luck bro op I will thank you I was so deep down
in negativity that I couldn't see how I hurt her to add I may sound neutral or
uncaring by the tone of the post but I really didn't expect what happened what
I did and how she'd react we had talked a bit previously about this and all she
said was that she was in no hurry to divorce as long as I was respectful and
kept improving I had a hunch she wanted to try and reconcile but she was already
being so generous to me that I didn't want to try and push my luck and I admit
it feels weird that we can be husband and wife again I guess it will take some
time after over a year as roommates at Mat the 13 just to add she likely wanted
the changes but she wanted them to be motivated changes not based on a threat
op making the changes even after signing the papers shows the changes are for
himself and likely to stick even if it was to be a good soon to be ex-husband
very different than proving you should be a keeper still Kudos all around op
thank you she was ready to go through with it because even if she loves me she
couldn't keep enduring me hurting both myself and her emotionally and morally
and I think she was right to do that it still feels weird to be sleeping in the
same bed every night and be affectionate we haven't been intimate at all during
separation and she hinted she wants to reconnect too on that level Earth Angel
t614 take things slow show her intimacy not SX learn to be best friends whether
for the first time or again confide in her and listen really listen when she
confides in you share your thoughts and emotions with her you don't have to
grieve alone and I don't think she ever wanted you to I Amo there's nothing as
his ear than a guy who is in touch with himself enough that he will cry in front
of his girl let her know you trust her enough to share that with her and it's
okay to let her hold you while you grieve you don't have to be the strong
one all the time you should each be able to feel your individual pain and be
comforted op you are right I definitely need to learn to be more open
emotionally and I'm working on it in therapy also when we hug or cuddle I
admit to her that it feels a bit weird but also Pleasant and fuzzy after so
much time she just reassures me that for
those things we have all the time in the world but she also said no hurry and
take things at our Pace ratchet angle eventually she had enough and after I
refused therapy for the nth time this is
the actual step you need to take therapy you're an alcoholic coming out of a
major depressive episode this won't be the last depressive episode nor will it
be the last relapse don't let the honeymoon period blind you to what's
really happening you have a golden opportunity to save your marriage start
doing the real work op you are absolutely right I doing therapy now
where it transpired that I was swapping alcoholism for workaholism so now we are
trying to find a healthy ground because that in the long run would undo all the
progress so far update the wife wanted a divorce and now we are reconciling I
feel at a loss at the idea of our marriage continuing update 5 days later
hello everyone I posted a week ago about what had happened the evening prior
after living separately at home for almost a year my soon Toby ex-wife
wanted to reconcile so I ripped the divorce papers in front of her to her
Delight however soon after I realized that I had planned my whole new year
around the fact that I was getting divorced and that the decision to
reconcile actually brought me uncertainty and anxiety my wife noticed
that and we had a number of heartfelt conversations about it there was talking
laughter and even tears during those talks tears of the good liberatory kind
my wife rarely if almost never cries she's the stoic type but seeing her
break into tears sobbing about how much I hurt her and how she still loves me
was like getting stabbed in the heart I realized the pain I caused her is still
fresh and burning she unloaded all the pain and turmoil I had inflicted upon
her with my past behavior and admitted she felt both proud and bitter about my
changes in the last year proud because I turned my life around bitter because I
had accepted the divorce so quickly as if she was what was holding me back and
she wasn't worth my best self however she was also angry at herself because
she was already reconsidering the divorce back in June but she didn't say
anything or give me signals because she feared I'd revert to my old Behavior or
would rebuffering to move in this year and gave her only breadcrumbs information
about it and she was both positively surprised to learn about all the work I
am putting into it and again a bit bitter that I didn't tell her anything
and all my projects were designed without her in mind as if she were just
an already fading memory the possibility of an amicable divorce has been brought
up again but she wanted two clear answers one was there another woman too
did I actually Stop Loving Her the answer to both questions is no I told
her I did suffer about losing her and our marriage but I didn't want to be the
ex-husband who made fleeting promises hounded her down and made a nuisance of
herself it's the least I could have done
after making her suffer so much and also
thanking her for her infinite kindness I just worked did my best to be a good
soon to be ex-husband paid my utilities and wanted to pay her rent for the room
she allocated me in her home which she always refused even when I insisted
eventually came the $1 million question do we want this marriage to work answer
yes it won't be easy and there's still a
lot of work to be done we agreed to take baby steps and have already booked
couple therapy for this week I am already doing individual therapy but now
shek be looking for individual therapy for herself as well in the last week we
went on some quiet dates walks and a short hiking trip I also made a peace
offering of sorts by asking her if she wanted to participate in my renovation
project of my father's house and giving her input and ideas she was enthusiastic
about it she likes gardening but her property has no garden and she makes do
with the potted plants on the balcony while my father's house has a large
garden and a big plot of overgrown land behind it she said we will be busting
our backs but it will be worth it and I think that working together on a shared
project will help reestablish our bond so that's where we stand now the road is
still long and difficult but I am hopeful I wish to sincerely thank all
the reddits who gave me their insights comments praises and criticism comments
regular bat 4449 congratulations I was the one who
suggested doing the renovation together I'm glad she liked the idea best of luck
op yes I took your advice and couldn't thank you enough for it my friend it
brought out an enthusiasm I had not seen in so long team in zitu congratulations
op thank you but it's still too soon spoink 74 I'm really happy to read this
one the last one ended on a twoo positive note this one is much more
realistic but also hopeful and optimistic op yes it would have been
foolish to think everything would have been fine right away it's not like in
movies where they make up make passionate love and are lovey-dovey all
of a sudden there's been distance for a year and hurt on both sides and it will
take time to heal and be close to each other again update difficulties sleeping
with the wife after separation is that normal little has changed in the last
week week we had our first couple counseling session and her first therapy
session and we laid down the framework for our marriage we went out on some
dates and overall spent quality time together we still haven't been intimate
she tried to initiate once but I gently turned it into cuddling and talking
another issue is that I have some difficulties sleeping in the same bed as
her not because I have something against her but because I'm so used to sleeping
in my own bed that often I sleep one or two hours with her wake up and head to
my home office or bedroom and sleep there
I wake up earlier and fix breakfast for her she's happy about it but I mentioned
once that I didn't sleep with her do those things take time I believe so but
I'm a bit scared I'm giving the impression I gave up on our marriage I
believe it will take months and lots of work to get back to how we were while
she thinks the process should be quicker
and I'm being too hard on myself and her update she had every right to file for
divorce because of my alcoholism she didn't deserve that in the meantime I
was sick of it so I stopped drinking and focused on my career and on renovating
my father's house she wanted to reconcile upon seeing those changes and
I agreed but now I'm realizing I have internalized the divorce into my life
plans I planned my new life around it I can't see myself being intimate with her
she tried a couple of times and I gently
turned her down as a gesture of Goodwill
I asked her if she wanted to participate in my father's home renovation project
and she accepted with enthusiasm she always wanted a garden now I'm
regretting it because that was to be my retreat from the world and I will have
to share it with her I said all of this to her she was upset but also
understanding in her opinion part of the fault is hers she never communicated
about reconciliation and sprung it up on
me and as a result what should have been a happy thing became a source of Stress
and Anxiety for me my therapist and I are saying this is my depression talking
but I'm not so sure are we truly done update this is not really an update just
a new development I showed her the last thread she's reading it on her phone she
said she already knew many of the things I wrote including the comments about
gems and flowers she said if she knew the anguish or reconciliation so soon
would cause she wouldn't have offered it
and is regretting it she thanks everyone for the kind words and appreciation
shown towards her at the same time she got upset because in her opinion I made
things worse than they are so either I exaggerated them or I've been keeping my
true feelings from her and this is a big problem for example she says I'm not as
cold as I'm making myself out to be and that she's not as pushy as I make her
out to be and in fact she's been giving me lots of space she says I'm doing
weird self-sabotage here she says I'm trying to get her to leave me but it
won't happen and if I really want to end it I have to do it myself she doesn't
agree with it but if I want to move out she won't oppose it she wasn't angry she
was just very numb update things are not easy but overall they are going well
both in therapy and everyday life there are still some issues with getting
intimate but we are getting there sometimes the shame and guilt become too
much and I wonder why she is even staying with me maybe some costs I do my
best little gifts dates cooking her favorite dishes picking up chores but to
me it always feels like I could do more sometimes she notices this and says to
take it easy she says I try too hard sometimes and it comes off as artificial
she likes that now I'm all smiles always
shaved well-dressed and gentlemanly with
her but jokes that sometimes I look like the president of her country of orig
I'm doing my best though even at the cost of overdoing it update as a former
alcoholic 27m I can't get over the shame even if my wife 31f says she's proud of
me I have been sober for over a year and I got sober after she served me divorce
papers she decided to try to reconcile last January and although things have
been not easy to say the least we still sleep separately I don't feel secure
enough to have SX with her and we do lots of individual and couple therapy we
somehow are managing however ever despite what she says I can't get over
the shame that I have been a useless and abusive drunkard and she probably
remembers me as such and the shame and guilt become unbearable I work as a
civil servant in family services ironically enough and recently I got
moved to the cabinet in the provincial government I even took a photo of us
shaking hands with our prime minister my wife picked this photo and put it on
Facebook for everyone to see writing how proud she was I do think she genuinely
believes this and I'm happy but I also think she's too eager to sweep the past
and our problems aren't fixed at all I still feel lots of Shame and guilt
towards her every time I look at her and
at a certain point I even looked forward to divorce but she insists I doing all
the right things and if I love her divorce would be something I'll end up
regretting I just feel we will never overcome this and although many moments
are happy and I do my best to give her quality time cook her favorite dishes
and get her gifts I can't help but feel hopeless and even alone in my feelings
she wants us to move on but while for her it might be easy to forgive me for
me it's not easy to let go of the shame of what I was to her my therapist says I
have to deal with it on my own as I caused all this and I agree but I don't
know how to move forward is there something I can do or should I learn to
accept this and live with it maybe with time it will get better after all a year
sober is almost nothing update two months later things are going lukewarmly
well talks of reinitiating divorce proceedings have stopped and although we
still sleep separately and have no intimacy my ISS
working on them with my therapist we are doing well sometimes I feel I can't get
over the shame that I have been a useless and abusive drunkard and she
probably remembers me as such and the shame and guilt become unbearable but
then it passes a bit basically we are starting over dating doing bonding
activities and getting her gifts and surprises she admitted she thought
things would go faster but in the end she agrees with me that after a year of
Separation things can't just get back to normal as before she also says I am too
hard on myself self but I think she's the one being too indulgent but apart
from those difficulties we are doing fine comments tawin Bandit basically we
are starting over dating doing bonding activities I've been following your
story and I'm happy you seem to be making progress you both have been
through a lot of turmoil but have stuck with each other for the most part so
keep working at it seek therapy to help along the way I think once you get over
the intimacy blockage you will be much better off as a couple keep working at
it op take care op thank you I have hope but sometimes I feel like we are stuck
or that we are delaying the inevitable although I feel like this only
occasionally tawin banded break through the wall op I think you can make this
work Second Story Woman made a false harassment case and got her life total
part one o here we go so I was working in HQ for a large and well-known company
a cubical sort of gig I had been there for 3 years and she had been there for
about 12 she's known to have a bit of an attitude and was pretty much next in
line to fill a very high position under the CEO she's always not liked many of
the office workers pretty much all the men and one woman she would constantly
make cry I one day ended up brushing past her in a hurry to hand something
off to my supervisor which he needed as soon as possible both of my hands were
quite obviously occupied holding something at chest level she ended up
filing a harassment claim saying I grabbed her AR after 2 weeks of hellish
unpleasantness I ended up getting my supervisor to pull footage as they were
pretty much about to turn me which saved my ARS well I'm friends with a guy she
looks to talk to even though he doesn't much like her I ended up giving him my
recorder pen a few weeks later and getting him to try and egg her into
talking about trying to get me fired he managed to get her to admit to that and
three other instances where she did get men fired for false harassment claims I
ended up getting the recording back made a few copies and ended up handing them
off to HR each of the three other men in question via email my boss and his boss
her husband anonymously and everybody on
the board I basically forced the company into a situation where the star player
couldn't stay because a two of the three
men are currently looking to sue B I was getting ready to as well and C it was
completely indisputable I lost her job and career any chance at using the place
as a reference and probably damaged her marriage she's not getting a severance
or any of her PTO paid to her edit we sign a contract stating that if we are
terminated for wrongdoing we can lose our PE to and acrs she sent me an email
calling me an evil bastard saying she hopes Karma pays it forward soon and a
few other things note I live in a state where I don't need consent to record
something part two after she was terminated they went through her company
email and apparently found out she had been stealing thousands from the company
corporate card she had eating out irregularly with clients partners and
colleagues and charging the company accounts for it she had also been using
the company's flight mileage for herself on things not actually business related
she also used it to buy gifts for some of her superiors it turns out there were
some more false claims she made about other people's jobs we weren't aware of
one possibly being the reason her positional predecessor ended up leaving
the latter is speculation I haven't gotten my hands on any copies yet from
my friends in HR I've gotten a lot of people jobs at this company so I've got
access to a lot of information about nine people around her were terminated
maybe more at least three were suspended HR is also looking through years of
footage they seem to have either forgotten about
me or are saving me for last since I've not really decided to insert myself into
this massive multidimensional Quantum dumpster fire they handing out ndas and
such like hot cakes lawsuits are happening two of the three men I sent
information to are suing the company one of which I'll point out nearly lost his
marriage I'm very happy that this relieves some stress for him it is
looking like she is going to be prosecuted by the company and hard
somebody told me her husband left her I have no proof of this only my boss
mentioned it supposedly his boss told him that his boss and her were very
chummy chummy my friend the one who took the recording from me took a huge
Severance 9 months of normal pay in his toe and he is starting at a big tech
company starting with an s in 4 weeks they decided to get him on board early
originally he started in January also she sent me another message saying I am
the most evil person she has ever met who got away with something terrible and
she hopes I die me okay how's your husband edit 1 101619
they are looking at about $2.3 million my boss says how did you spend that much
money on food and flights in 5 years comments ha buer evil woman you're evil
I hope you die you well at least I'll probably die with my spouse by my side
where's yours Aven altercations holy crap this last post took the Revenge
from Pro to nuclear even without you needing to do anything illegal I just
don't understand why she feels the need to make up fake harassment claims I've
always lived by the adage don't do more than one illegal thing at a time I don't
know I feel like if I were her I'd try to keep my head down and stir as little
shd as possible all you had to do was give her enough rope and she hung
herself Update 9 days later so about 18 people were pushed out terminated or
made to take a severance and dip she was embezzling money on food gifts what you
view as bribes and other things she made
six such claims and somebody anonymously may or may not have informed the other
people who ended up getting terminated by her one of said people was the person
who previously held the position she held until this all blew up he is going
to legally rip her in half she basically lied to climb the corporate ladder by
getting somebody above her fired I was made to sign an NDA given a severance
that is about 14 months of my normal pay
as well as my 120 hours of PTO and my 60 hours of sick time I'll be starting my
new job at a tech company starting in m in a few weeks so I'm not too worried I
also got three letters of recommendation as well as some good references all men
who hated her so I'm good honestly I'm glad I'm out of there even though I did
nothing wrong in regards to her all the women on the office side with the line B
have been giving me a hard time I am talking to a lawyer about the hostile
work environment and some other stuff ndas don't protect against illegal
activity one person on the board is stepping down and one is on a sudden
vacation I'm not entirely sure what that's about he may be related but I
will likely not find out my friend who recorded for me is working at a tech
company starting with an s as of today he started early and put his huge
Severance into savings my boss a good friend of mine too he just got the
Liar's position and is cleaning the houses of people he suspects Got Away
clean we have reason to believe three people benefited from her sht by getting
promoted based on comments she made so he's going to move them to different
departments away from each other from what I've heard this may have blown her
marriage to shreds and she may be looking at prison time for likely Grand
Theft defamation and some other stuff she got my personal email from her
assistant and some of my personal information her assistant has been fired
and she's been emailing and harassing me I had a talk with the law in my area I
was told I have all the right in the world to Stand My Ground if she
physically threatens me I have documentation and recordings she's nuts
one of you suggested this may happen good guess LOL I also now according to
her a hate-filled misogynistic piece of sht I will burn in hell I'm a traitor
and a liar and Karma is likely going to end up killing me AAR Li WTF I'm just
going to enjoy my few weeks off play some Destiny on the box drink and relax
this multi-dimensional Quantum dumpster fire is no longer my problem now that
it's rolling downhill I won't likely be updating this any further I only did it
because of of the hundreds of requests for the finale you all have a good one
thanks for reading thank you all for the support and advice some of it actually
helped a lot comments isabs great work covering yourself it sucks that
corporate environments require so much sa but you executed it well in response
to her lies enjoy your time off op it was an absolute miserable first two
weeks the two weeks after were rough because every woman in the office was
cold shouldering me and or actively quite aggressive it got easier once she
was purged and the mess spilled onto everybody's laps honestly even though I
came out on top I've got some new anxiety issues to compartmentalize and
I'll be using my recording pen for absolutely all conversations I'm having
at work from now on I have some severe anxiety issues and this just added an
entire new room to the mental house I stored in but I got my and I started m
in a few weeks so there's that thanks for the positive comment it helped thank

aita for spending money my grandparents gave me instead of saving it toward my
step brother's treatment fund my mom got married to Ellen 2 years ago I 15f was
13 at the time and alen's two kids were Emma 9f and Noah 3M Noah was diagnosed
with cancer last year and my mom and her husband were told there's some kind of
different treatment he could get in another country and if they could raise
the money it would be better for Noah than the treatments available in the US
my mom and Allan could not afford it so they have been sending him to treatment
here and saving for Noah's treatment they made a lot of cutbacks and asked
that Emma and I give over any money we get so they can afford that they have
about 70% or something now and that has come from cutting out a lot we eat very
basic meals they canceled our internet and we didn't do anything for our
birthdays or Christmas since the savings started any money that comes into the
house goes on Essentials or the treatment fund my dad died 9 years ago
and my paternal family stayed part of my life they know what has been going on
and they have been buying me little treats and taking me out to eat when
they can they also give me money every couple of weeks so I can have something
if I ever need anything I've been hiding that money because I know I would | give me a good story on AITAforspendingmoneymygrandparentsgavemeinsteadofsavingittowardmyaitaredditstoriesorig |

today we have a crazy nuclear Revenge story involving a stepdad we'll get into
that in a bit but first how I ruined a school prefect's big day being in high
school is quite the experience being in an all boys high school takes the
experience to a whole new level but being in an all-boys boarding school now
that is real hardcore stuff right there as someone who never really had any form
of Independence beforehand being dropped off at a boarding school was one of the
scariest moments of my entire life I was
in a different High School entirely when my Dad decided I had to man up so he
made me write various entrance exams into some of the most prestigious
boarding schools he could think about being the smarty pants that I was I
proceeded to pass every single one with flying colors hindsight is great but I
wasn't used to failing at this point once all the results were out the
decision of what school I was going to transfer to was left to me and I wasn't
exactly good at making my own choices I either had to choose between staying in
State we lived in or going on an academic adventure to another state
hundreds of miles away the decision was quite easy for me though as I had
schoolmates whose parents I think felt the same way my dad did apparently we
were all getting too pampered so when a couple of my friends decided to stay in
the state my choice was very clear because that way I didn't have to start
from scratch when adapting to the new school or so I thought summer was over
and it was time for me to prepare my mind for my first experience of living
away from my family I was filled with mixed emotions a part of me was happy
that I get to leave some of mum's nagging behind and also the chores
especially the chores and another part was scared of the new systems of
Conformity I would have to face while also having to adapt to all the new
faces I heard stories about this particular boarding school long before
my Dad decided to make me into a man I heard about the history the traditions
and the tales it was quite popular being
one of the oldest schools in the country so a lot of the stories got around even
if many of them were made up I thought these stories would have me prepared for
most of what I would face but on getting to the main gate of the school I
realized that maybe the most important parts of the stories had been left out I
had never seen so many students stand by a school gate on a Sunday before and
they all looked much older than I expected so I was most definitely
intimidated even without having a word said to me there was a registration
process at the gate which I did with the help of my dad and under the watchful
gazes of people I assumed were my seniors the process was quite seamless
as it seemed for 30 minutes my dad was no longer interested in me being a man
and just wanted it over with ASAP so he used his influence now it was time for
me to say my goodbyes but not before I had my first true boarding school
experience after helping me with registry Nation dad looked to be in a
hurry so he told me to take my things to the hall room allocated to me and come
down so he can bless me in a way only a father can I took my bags up with a
smile and some sense of urgency but I had trouble locating my room so I asked
one of the first students I saw to show me the way to the room I described and
quickly realized this was a wrong choice unbeknownst to me this student was
actually one of the prefects basically students appointed by the school
authorities to be able to Lord over other students in their field of
specification at first he acted all nice
and helpful even carrying my bags for me and asking me to follow him to the room
I was allocated to I obviously agreed to follow him he was the first person
lending me a hand in boarding school this was a historical moment that I was
going to tell my kids at least that's what I was thinking at the time getting
to the room I saw everyone dressed in red check colored shirts mind you I wore
a blue check colored shirt so something seemed off this was definitely not my
room had I been duped so many questions were going through my mind at that time
but I didn't come from Strife so I reacted like a jolly good fellow and
asked why is everyone wearing a different color and got no response that
was when my instincts belatedly kicked in and I began to sweat a bit as I
remembered some of the stories I'd heard
and began to put two and two together at
this point I'd figured out they were all in the class ahead of me and that this
was their territory but the prefect was already with my bags so I couldn't just
run off and decided to stay calm the first thing he said to me after dropping
my bags by one of the bunk beds in the room was make yourself comfortable you
mean there was nothing to fear I thought to myself but as I was made to sit on
one of the beds close to me I felt a heavy slap on the back of my neck Dazed
and Confused I began to look around to see that I'd been Sur grounded by the
seniors at this moment I was wondering what I'd done wrong and nothing came to
mind so I made hand signs as if to say look guys there must have been a
misunderstanding here then the prefect came over to me crouched and asked if I
knew what my offense was I said I didn't and he then asked me to squat what was
going on was this a dream the shock was so overwhelming that almost as if by
reflexes I began to squat before any further questions he then explained to
me that I just sent a prefect on an errand and that was a taboo according to
their Traditions I wish I'd learned that too he also reported to the rest of the
room who then took turns trying to add variations to the punishment to test my
balance and endurance after a few minutes of some military grade exercises
he told me some of the rules I had to follow to avoid a similar situation in
the future and even accompanied me to go meet my dad who had been surprisingly
patiently waiting for me to come receive my blessings my dad didn't even realize
how sweaty I was from all the punishment I guess he just wanted to give his
blessings and leave at that point which was what he did and so my boarding
school Journey had now officially started with a lot of seniors roaming
around looking for juniors to pray on once parents had left most of my peers
looked to some seniors and prefects for protection especially during the brutal
first week which they called the initiation week by tradition I didn't
know any seniors I barely even knew my peers so I sought the one student who
had already given me some survival advice the prefect from earlier yes I
know what you're thinking I managed to find him although this wasn't before
some narrow escapes experienced with some seniors and when I did find him the
first thing he did was give me his cup and Cutlery to wash day one and I'd
already become a dishwasher he also made me carry his school bag along with mine
and follow him around now I had no inherent issue doing these tasks at
first as long as it guaranteed my safety
from other seniors and prefects but this turned out to not be the case just like
a lucrative bubble all his friends wanted in and within a few hours of
resuming I had begun to wash the utensils of at least four of his friends
this was not how I planned for my first couple of days in boarding school to go
but this was nothing compared to what I was about to face in the coming days the
first day of classes finally came and I was excited to see my new learning
environment there were programs the school ran in the first week two
acclimate new students such as myself so
I used them to get familiar with some of
my new mates and make new friends one of the new friends I made was someone I'd
recognized while on bag carrying duties apparently he was a fellow slave to the
prefect in his gang after speaking to him and a few others I realized that
this slavery was commonplace which kinda have made me feel better and after some
more slave to slave conversations I had successfully created a little friend
group good times but over here good times never really lasted long and by
the time the closing bell was rung it was time to run to the dining hall for
lunch lunch in a regular boarding school was always a task but in this school it
was more daunting than usual you had seniors and prefects hovering around
tables like vultures looking for juniors to flex their powers on I and my new
friends decided to join the same table since we had so much in common and this
decision would come to haunt us as a few minutes after settling down there came
our oppressors strolling into the dining hall apparently looking for juniors to
do their bidding quickly realizing what may befall us we try to hide our faces
but we were too late he had already recognized his two favorite Juniors and
slowly walked towards our table after asking a few irrelevant questions about
our day a he asked us to wait for him outside once lunchtime was over we
contemplated escaping but the school campus was relatively small and as a
prefect he had powers to step into any class and find us so we didn't take
chances and decided to wait what's the worst that could happen after all so we
waited for a few minutes before we saw the prefect come with his gang not them
again they were all holding school uniforms and housewares we supposed
belonged to them as well as a few buckets it didn't take us long to
realize what was about to happen but we stayed calm and waited for the prefix
instructions and without any remorse he confirmed our fears we had to do the
laundry for him and his gang over 10 pairs of uniforms I instantly lost all
of my timidity and loudly refused everyone including my new friend was
shocked at the audacity I had and before I could say anything else there was a
reign of slaps and blows coming from the seniors who felt disrespected I didn't
mind because I thought it was going to get me out of having to do their laundry
but as many times already in my short time in boarding school I was wrong once
again the infuriated prefect swiftly asked me to do a plank and call the
attention of the two other higher ranked prefects this was where I realized I'd
screwed up once they got there the first thing they did was to discharge my
friend who was already holding a bucket full of clothes what a lucky guy next
thing they did was to instruct me to wash every single uniform there by
myself the prefect let out a smirk as if
to say he was satisfied with the outcome while a few of the seniors withdrew
their uniforms to find other Juniors to turn to slaves as they figured the
burden would affect the quality of the job at the end I was left with five
pairs three belonging to the prefect and
one each belonging to two of his buddies so I got up obviously still fuming
dusted myself and left with a clothes along with the buckets fully plotting my
revenge for the humiliation I had just received after thinking for some time my
friend who had been discharged earlier caught up with me and gave me an idea he
had been to the boarding school before so he had similar experiences so he knew
how to get back at bullies so we hatched a plan to take advantage of being in
possession of the uniforms of our chief oppressor we decided to ruin all of the
uniforms that belonged to him he had signs to denote which ones were his so
we made a large mixture of bleach and laundry blue and put all of his uniforms
in including his red checkered houseware
our evil plan worked the whites were now bluish in color and stained while the
housewares also turned bluish with spots of discoloration even the navy blue
trousers were not spared we decided to wash the pairs belonging to the other
seniors in the correct way so as to not elicit too many reactions or so we
thought at the time the deed was done it was time to get some sleep before the
big reveal as they laid in my bunk bed I began to wonder about the potential
magnitude of what I just done and some fear began to creep in I tried to use
the spirit of Vengeance to fight the fear but I ended up barely sleeping
because I felt that at any moment I could be on the receiving end of another
blow morning came and it was time for me to hand the uniforms and buckets over I
went alone but my friend followed from a distance on getting there the prefect
already seemed to suspect Foul Play I wondered if someone had told him what we
did but I stayed silent so he just took the bucket from me and went into his
corner there was silence for some seconds before I heard a loud scream
everyone's attention was drawn crap I thought to myself I didn't bargain for
all that attention I then overheard someone say that boy has screwed up big
time today is the prefix presentation at this point I realized how big my
screw-up was but continued on what to do next until one of the seniors in the
room silently gave me a sign to run away as fast as I could bless his soul as
soon as I saw this sign I took to my heels and ran as fast as I could to
where my friend was observing from and we both found our way back to my hostel
it was prefect's presentation day the day prefects are officially introduced
to the new students on the assembly ground and because of the condition of
his uniforms he was unable to join in the presentation and was merely
announced I had successfully ruined his big day and all the fear I felt had
turned into satisfaction he finally found me in my class and I had to suffer
some punishment from a group of prefects but I'd already ruined his big day and
boy was I glad I did it it was a small price to pay to free myself from his
shackles for good now did op really free
themselves from the shackles of this guy or did they just get some small Revenge
I mean it sounds to me like they were still very Shackled I guess the only
consolation is maybe people know that if they try to mess with OP or expect them
to do chores they might intentionally tank it or ruin things maybe they think
it's not worth it I don't know otherwise op's just getting beat up that said our
next story is I reported my stepdad and got him fired I still smile when I
remember how far my high school boyfriend and I went and getting my
revenge on my stepdad while I do feel what we did was extreme I feel justified
in what I did not just because he was a jerk but also because he had it coming
the only reason we were able to hurt him that badly was because he did something
bad in the first place it wasn't like we made up anything we just exposed them
for all to see my stepdad is the typical
narcissist that loves to maintain a good reputation outside of their families so
that when those who are close to them tell everyone about the evil that they
do nobody would believe leave them outside the home my stepdad was a noble
respectful principled and kind Man Who Loved children and teenagers and knew
just how to get through to them but within the walls of the house he shared
with my mom he was a beast my stepdad was an extremely selfish man he believed
the world should revolve around him and that his word was law the first evil
thing he did to me and my sister who's nearly two years older than me was to
make our mom leave us our parents were never married they never even had a
relationship but somehow mom had a baby with my dad and less than two years
after she had my sister she had me too people judged my mom for what they
believed was a poor choice she had a baby twice by a man she wasn't married
to and wasn't even dating while all this was happening my dad had an on and off
girlfriend that he truly loved as everyone predicted my dad left my mom to
be with his girlfriend and they eventually got married my mom had hoped
and wished that having kids by my dad would make him stay she loves my dad
very much but he never quite loved her as much as she wanted after my dad got
married to the love of his life my mom became more accepting of the fact that
the man she loved did not love her too and probably never did or will she moved
on and they co-parented nicely together my sister and I lived with my mom and
our dad and his wife lived four streets away from us the problem started when my
mom started dating a school teacher I hated him from the minute I saw him and
so did my sister the first time he met us he was mad because my mom introduced
us to him by his name instead of his last name and title my mom thought it
was absurd that we would refer to him formally especially since he wanted a
long-term relationship with her and we were her children they argued and even
though he didn't yell at her the way he spoke to her was wrong he was so
condescending and he implied that she was Raising spoiled children my mom was
invisibly mad about his comment about her not knowing how to raise her kids
but she did try to suppress her anger and made a small joke about the whole
situation I got to understand later that people had assured my mom that my dad
could never be with her because she was a loud mouth and was constantly angry
and had a permanent scowl on her face the people was mostly her own mother I
still cannot understand why but my maternal grandmother hated my mom she
said too many vile things to her and kept it going until my mom completely
cut her off my mom decided when she met her husband that it was best to keep
quiet and be pleasant to make him stay with her my mom wanted nothing more than
to be married as kids during prayers my mom would go on and on asking God to
send her a man and take away her shame that evening was the beginning of
silence and pretense in the relationship
my stepdad had with my mom he constantly tried to change everything we had going
on in our home before my mom met him she was quite nonchalant hardly ever
bothered about a lot of things and she let us do whatever we wanted to do my
sister was a bookworm growing up so my mom got her books I on the other hand
just wanted to read fashion magazines and watch modeling shows on TV my mom
let me do that too she never tried to tell us what to do or Force any kind of
interest on us when she and my stepdad started a serious relationship he made
my mom stop me from reading fashion magazines and watching TV shows she's
not going to learn anything from watching all these shows and reading
these junks he told my mom so many times
that I started to notice that my fashion magazines were disappearing and my mom
started to change the channel whenever I
was watching a fashion program on TV she would buy me books whenever she was
buying for my sister even though I had no interest in reading them at some
point he complained about the kind of books that my sister red and my mom
changed that too he was just too controlling and we hated him but we
couldn't do anything about it my mom loved and would do nearly anything to
keep him long enough for him to marry her and prove to the world that she
could indeed keep a man two years after their relationship started my Mom
finally got her boyfriend to propose to her they had a nice engagement party and
his friends and colleagues from the private school he taught in were all
present after their party my mom and her
boyfriend had a huge fight my mom wanted
to take us along with her when she moved in after their marriage but my stepdad
refused he said he wasn't comfortable having us under his roof while our
father was still alive and very much in our lives they kept fighting over it
over and over again then one day he came
to our house and asked for his ring back my mom was so upset she broke down in
tears I'm sorry I just want to feel like my woman is loyal to me you not wanting
to let these kids go off to their dads shows that you're not ready to start
something new with me my mom kept crying
trying to convince him through her tears that she wanted nothing to do with our
dad and only wanted to keep her kids with her he walked out on her with his
ring my mom had this friend at the time and she came over to console her and all
of that do you think that he's right my mom asked your friend what no he's not
that's a controlling jerk right there children Thrive better when they're with
their mothers you keep your children and let him go my mom seemed convinced but
soon after she told us she was going to have us live with our dad my sister
didn't want to hear it she cried and threw a huge tantrum that my mom sent
her to her room and grounded her in the end my mom had made her decision she was
going to move in with her husband and without us after the wedding my sister
and I went to live with my dad and his wife ordinarily my sister and I liked my
dad's wife we liked her when we would visit him on weekends and she would
sometimes even drop us back home with her mom on Sunday evenings but living
with her permanently just was not the same as visiting her on weekends her
patience for us grew thinner she got tired of my sister's tantrums and
whinings when we first moved there if my sister was throwing a tantrum over an
issue like the food she didn't like my stepmother would try to calm her down
and offer her a snack or offer to prepare another meal as time passed
though my stepmother would simply get up
from the table and go into their bedroom completely ignoring my sister as an
adult now I understand why the situation was so frustrating for her and why she
chose to shut everyone out but as a child I hated her for not paying
attention to my sister and for leaving my dad to deal with a situation alone
I've blamed my stepdad for everything and I looked forward to hurting him it
hurt me even more because my stepdad had a son before he married my mom and he
brought his son home to be raised by my mom whenever we visited my mom his son
who was just slightly older than my sister and I would talk in Whispers
because my stepdad hated noise from kids the house was always clean because he
could not stand to see anywhere looking less than pristine my stepbrother would
tell me about how his dad yelled at my mom and orders her around everyone
walked on eggshells around him and while he pretended a bit whenever my sister
and I were around he still yelled and slammed doors or punched his fists into
a wall one afternoon while my sister and
I were in their house I saw him shove my mom aside while she was talking to him
about something he shoved her so violently that I was shocked and
couldn't say anything for the rest of that day I told my dad ever since that I
didn't want to visit my mother ever again and he agreed with me even though
I never told him why fast forward to five years later my stepdad was still an
abusive jerk and the principal of the private school he taught in his abusive
Behavior had gotten so bad that then my mother looked twice her age his son ran
away and cut him off and my half-siblings he had two boys with my
mom walked on eggshells everywhere they were not happy children at all at the
time my boyfriend attended the school my stepdad taught and would tell me about
the things my stepdad did in school things that only a very few population
of the school knew about the school was a private school owned by a popular
Church the rules were quite strict and they took discipline very seriously for
instance using drugs within the school premises or at any school-related
activity such as excursions was highly prohibited students caught using or
selling drugs were immediately expelled from the school and the school would
outrightly refuse to issue a transfer letter for the said student many of the
parents who took their kids there were Rich religious people so their children
knew better than to do anything that would make their parents be invited
however kids were still secretly using drugs and even selling on the school
premises the interesting part was that my stepdad the principal knew about this
but rather than meet out the prescribed punishment in the school's code of
conduct he would offer to pretend as if nothing happened in exchange for some
money that's right my stepdad was taking
bribes from his students in exchange for his silence as a result many students
were using and some others were selling and getting away with it because the
principal did nothing and would even cover up for them when my boyfriend told
me about this I knew that the time had finally come to get my revenge but I
couldn't do it alone so I told my boyfriend about my plans to expose him
my boyfriend was very religious so I tried not to make it look like I was
just trying to get revenge even though that was what I was trying to do I made
a whole speech about how what my stepdad was doing could potentially ruin the
lives of numerous students and all of that he agreed but said we were going to
need proof the school board wouldn't take any action against him without
getting proof first they believed whatever my stepdad told them and
trusted him especially since he had a way of making the students behave they
also wouldn't want to upset parents and have them lose trust and the principle
for no reason my boyfriend and I decided to get proof together but there was
simply no way to do it I finally found a solution when one afternoon my mother's
sister half-brothers and I were having lunch together a woman came over to our
table with her young son and said hello to my mom my mom replied cheerfully but
when she left my mom rolled her eyes and told us that the woman is the school's
counselor and that she hated my stepdad and was very upset when he was selected
to be the new principal maybe she wanted to be the Principal I said thinking
about how fortunate I was to finally see someone else who'd like to see my
stepdad fail I made my boyfriend go to her and confess all he knew about the
principle and his aiding and abetting some months later the counselor alerted
the school board and They carried out their investigation and found my stepdad
guilty of the allegations laid against him he was immediately fired and
arrested I just thought that he'd be fired and everyone would see him in the
filthy light that I saw him but it was way bigger than that my stepdad was
facing the possibility of jail time I started to panic and feel guilty but my
boyfriend calmed me down he's only suffering from the consequences of his
actions he was going to get caught anyway we just sped up the process my
boyfriend would assure me when a reporter wrote in the local papers about
what my stepdad was doing I finally understood the gravity of his offense he
was lucky to get a very short offense though but I stopped feeling bad for him
after reading that article I smiled just thinking about what my boyfriend and I
did the only regret I have is not informing my mom ahead even though she
would have prevented me from doing anything about it but the whole issue
affected did her badly at first it wasn't until my stepdad went off to jail
that my mom and half Brothers started to
loosen up and feel free again my mom was
looking as beautiful as I remembered her to be that ruled out any regrets I had
about getting my stepdad in trouble let it be said Opie obviously did the right
thing here I mean when you think about the lives the stepdad was affecting in
allowing all of this illicit activity to go on in school it's for the best that
they're held accountable for those actions and locked up because God forbid
any of these kids get in with a bad crowd and get their lives ruined but
with that being said that's all the time we have for today now if you want to
hear another absolutely crazy Revenge story check out that video on the left

there was a knock at my door I answered the door and was greeted by a drunk
biker who screamed I need a [ __ ] ride
home get your [ __ ] keys and get out
here I had no idea who this guy was so I
closed the door and locked it he started trying to kick down my door yelling
about how he was going to [ __ ] kill
me I retrieved my shotgun opened the door and pointed at his face he ran off
and I called the police 45 minutes later they arrived as I was giving them a
description of him they knew who I was talking about and told me that he was
wanted in connection with a stabbing at a bar a week ago what would have
happened to me if I wasn't armed God only knows but I know I'm here today and
I was unharmed my self-defense is primarily my responsibility | give me a good story on Whydontyouleavethepolicingtothepoliceratherthanbuyinggunsorig |

update on dog poop girl it got worse original post um actually expecting me
to clean up after my pet makes you entitled man I am still trying to
process an exchange I had this morning I was sitting on my balcony having
breakfast and there was this woman I've never spoken to walking her dog we don't
know her but my roommate and I see her down there pretty much every day she's
around our age I would guess so either in her 30s like us or maybe in her 40s
we've never exchanged so much as a hello up to this point now I really like my
apartment complex it's cute and pleasant to walk around and the only thing that
really sucks is when people don't clean up after their dogs it's so freaking
gross and I hate when people don't do it
you're grownup who made a choice to have a pet that comes with responsibilities
that you have to keep up with most people around here do clean up after
their dogs that I've seen so we know it's just a few rotten eggs if I see
people who don't look like they're doing it I call them out which I know comes
with risks but come on people the response is sometimes defensive
sometimes a bit of twisting the truth like oh I was just going too but they
all know that they should be doing it anyway this woman has her dog right by
our balcony and my friend and I were just chatting until I noticed the woman
walking away without cleaning it up so I said in a tone more polite than the
situation probably merited excuse me are
you going to clean up after your dog and
she says in this snide snot voice no I'm good thanks I immediately burst out
laughing though not the goodh humored kind because I couldn't believe the
audacity I said wow that's really pathetic which apparently is more than
she'd expected me to do because she came marching back I have to imagine most
people don't call this woman out for her to have that kind of immediate vitral
makes me think she's kind of spoiled just in general and was angry i'
embarrassed her but she clearly knew I was right because she had to come back
and double down so she comes running at us with this kindergarten logic and goes
I'm not the only one who doesn't clean up after my dog lots of people don't
clean up after their dogs and I was like so how does that absolve you of adding
to the problem she keeps going on about how other people do it too so I said
cool then give me their names let's have a list because I don't see any of them
right now and she's like open your eyes and figure it out for yourself I was
like that's what I'm doing right now she keeps shouting that she doesn't have to
do anything she doesn't want to and she doesn't care what I think so I was like
holy crap I never met such an entitled person it's insane to me that you're
getting this angry over someone expecting basic decency out of you and
she says no you're entitled I burst out laughing again and said I clean up after
my animal me telling you I don't appreciate you leaving messes on our
shared property doesn't make me entitled you're a grownass woman who knew what
responsibilities she'd have when she got a pet there are of other people who
don't want to see your dog's crap you're not the main character at this point I
feel like this woman has never been confronted Beyond her first snarky
response and I have a bubbly and friendly tone normally so she probably
had expected to have scared me or shocked me into Silence with that callus
initial reaction because she is practically melting down trying to upset
me while my friend and I laugh she gave me a snarky have a nice day and I wished
her the same in an equal tone then she waddled off and no that's not me calling
her fat she was actually really fit she just walks in a very exaggerated
cartoonish way like Jessica Rabbit or some crap I thought she was doing it to
be snarky but my friend said she just always walks like that we took a short
video of her sadly not of the incident itself as we had to go grabb our phones
and I plan to take it to the front office just to let them know it's only
step one I doubt anything will be done with just this but this has been driving
me crazy and I'm ready to start holding rude people accountable fortunately I
can use the corporate offices if the people here don't start to put pressure
on people who are blatantly breaking their lease it's right in there that you
have to clean up after your animal I'm not trying to get anyone evicted but I'm
hoping she at least feels the pressure to act like a grown-up and take care of
her pets like I wouldn't cry if she got a fine or something seriously though
it's painful to me that people like this
even exist she was so confident that she
was somehow in the right that she didn't even try to lie about it like woman you
aren't 12 the other people do it argument isn't going to hold up in court
lamu edit sorry I haven't answered all of the comments yet but things got worse
here's a post on that and I'll try to reply more soon update on dog poop girl
it got worse so yesterday I posted about
having a nasty encounter with a neighbor of mine who is apparently too good to
pick up after her dog she made sure to let me know that I was the entitled one
for not wanting dog poop all over the property and she made sure to toss in
some classist remarks expecting maintenance people to clean it up
someone suggested in the comments that she might be the pathetic sort to come
back and intentionally try to provoke her I thought for sure she wouldn't be
that dumb turns out I was the fool for giving her that much credit but it's a
good thing she did because I got a great video of her I'm not going to upload it
for a number of reason but I might if she tries to do it to me it played out
an entitled loser 101 to a degree that it almost felt unreal I can't believe
people like this truly exist she came by intentionally brought her dog right
beneath our balcony this time and waited I was like cool letun record so we sit
there she waits for her dog to poop then she starts to walk away of course proof
thank you however as she walked away she
saw that I was recording and turned back she started shrieking oh my God are you
trying to record me you know that's illegal right I said yes I am it's not
illegal you're in a public space she starts yelling at me to mind my own
business and that none of this concerns me I told her that a did concerned me
because I live here too and I don't want a poop covered apartment complex nor do
any of the other residents I would imagine she told me I didn't own the
complex like that makes it okay do you ma'am we had it back and forth and she
started recording me back telling me threatening things like thanks for
exposing yourself implying that she's going to dox me and put it online
hopefully nothing comes of it just because I want my privacy but I haven't
done anything wrong so I'm not worried about it otherwise when that didn't
upset me as she' clearly intended she started trying to insult me and it was
hilarious this is probably because of your weight XD my best friend and I
burst out laughing she called me a fat bee so I started recording again to
catch anything else she might say she told me she was reporting me and I told
her to please do it so they'd know who she was when I report her it was
freaking Bonkers this woman is a nightmare I'm actually worried this is
going to escalate into something even worse but I guess we'll see so the
second she left we took the video down to the front office I showed it to one
of the landlords who was appalled I mentioned the day before and how that
had gone down and I verified that she was indeed breaking her lease also the
landlord thanked me for policing people who just leave dog poop behind she said
they've been trying to get people to take responsibility and it's turning
into a real issue after that she gave me her email and asked me to send her the
video I did so and now we'll see how it unfolds I also told her that the woman
threatened to report me so she may actually call in herself and
unintentionally turn herself in I also mentioned worrying about potential
retaliation so that it's just out there if she calls the cops I fortunately have
the video so she won't be able to make up anything about me harassing her or
something I've been told to not engage with her if she comes back again but to
just contact the office and tell them she's here I really don't know what to
expect I just wanted to enjoy a nice morning on my balcony I'm seriously
blown away all this because someone asked you to pick up your dogs poop what
is this world coming to | give me a good story on UPDATEONDOGPOOPGIRLItgotworseorig |

what was your thank God I looked at the contract moment bit long but satisfying
to me at least was leasing with a big apartment complex where had a garage
along with my apartment the lease contracts they cook up are 20 plus pages
long and naturally slanted heavily in their favor and they use them as clubs
against their tenants generally scummy Behavior All Around They removed their
restricted access gates because they were tired of maintaining them and kept
advertising It Anyway Etc so the contract comes up for Renewal and they
of course raise the rent and both the apartments in the garage counting on
inertia to keep me there even though they're blatantly advertising a lower
rate in the same model for new leases now at this point I'm planning on
leaving in a year anyway to buy my house so I swallow it and tell them to write
up the contract for me to review I sit down and read the thing you notice
they've clearly left the garage fee off the contract even though it's noted as
being leased I buy my tongue and read it over and yes according to the paperwork
the sum total of everything was the price of just the apartment and the
total is less than what I paid the previous year I sign it fully expect to
hear back that they made a mistake before the property manager counter
signs it a few days later I got my fully
executed contract on my doorstep now the fun begins I wait until the bill shows
up on their payment website and call them up saying there seems to be a
mistake you're charging me X dollar and my leases for y please correct they tell
me they'll review a couple days later they call to say oh it's just a mistake
in the paperwork you can either pay the full amount or we can take the garage
off your lease oh no no no no my contract clearly States the apartment
and the garage is the price please correct your billing I paid them the
amount owed per the contract in the first now come the threats eviction
delinquent payment going to affect credit corporate lawyers luckily I have
prepaid legal services through my work I call the lawyer they refer me to and
send off the contract he calls me back the next day and says you're absolutely
right they don't have a like to stand on here get their attorney to provide you
in writing what they believe their legal basis is for demanding more than what's
in the contract and I'll take care of it my favorite line in contracts like this
is how they clearly state that this is the entirety of the agreement so there's
no chance of slipping in things on either side the property manager calls
me to come visit her in the office the same day and says she reviewed it with
her attorney and he believes they're in the right because of generally
advertised pricing or some other such nonsense she also implied that the
person who wrote the contract was in danger of losing their job because of
the issue as if she wasn't more liable for signing it off on it this is where I
get to tell her I've also retained legal services and passed on what he said the
look on her face was priceless she told me she'd take it back to them end of the
story I received a very T note dropped on my doorstep a day later saying they
removed the extra charge from my account
I've been happily living in my new house for 4 years now but that still gives me
a warm glow when I remember it I live in a high cost of living area so the
detached onecar garage would have cost me $1,800 for the year not surprisingly
nobody was fired for the contract screw up trying to Gill trip the Sky by saying
the person who wrote the contract will lose their job that's just
disgusting story two some workplace that demanded at least four years of
employment or else I would have had to pay for those four years as you would
pay for a course in case of earlier quitting you're hired for a job they
send you to a 10-week training course teaching you how to do the job there is
a stipulation when you sign that if you quit within x amount of years you have
to pay them back for the training they put a dollar amount of around $20,000 on
my training with a 2-year no compete clause my company was known in the
industry for having the best training school in that industry but paid its
employees relatively low compared to other companies they had the no compete
clause to try and scary away from receiving their top-of-the-line training
than quitting and going to a different company for more money right away one of
my buddies from training ended up quitting after 6 months or so they
threatened him with a repayment he told him to kick rocks because he knew it
wouldn't hold up in court they ended up withholding his last check and taking
any money in his 401k and leaving it at that I don't know if that's legal but
that's what they did they dropped the no compete clause but he could never be
hired by that company again not that he was too worried about that I should say
this I didn't verify any of what my friend told me I'm just reporting what
he told me when I asked him what happened when he quit which was roughly
7 years ago now he said they took his 401k but he may have meant only the
company match we weren't fully vested until after 3 years as far as the last
paycheck I don't know they may have worked that out behind closed doors and
he didn't tell me I'm just repeating what he said seven years ago Story three
okay this is just a piece of advice because I know there are actors out
there who want to get into the business I'm a talent agent and entertainment
lawyer I cannot tell you how many contracts I read that include things
that are not enforcable by law or just plain illegal but actors are so happy to
get an agent they sign without looking hire a freaking lawyer I used to charge
$100 to read a contract when I still did it it's worth it an example I had a
client let's call her Jess Jess is an incredible talented voiceover she to
this day is one of my best clients however when Jess was first starting
about 8 years ago she signed a contract with an agency out of Kansas City two
years later she left the agency and we picked her up and showed her contract
she raised her eyebrows at her rates asking how do you guys make anything
with such low commission rates this along with a few other things made me
ask if she had a copy of her old contract for me to read so here we go
first it's stated that the agency's commission rate percentage of actor
earnings they get was 45% the industry standard if you're Union it can legally
be no higher than 10% and it usually never goes higher than 15% even for new
Talent that's non-union second it stated a non-compete Clause that lasted for 3
years and covered the entire us and Canada not enforcable and if I'm being
honest I could make a judge throw that out on a dime but it would cost you a
lot of money for me to do usually you don't find noncompete Clauses in acting
agencies other than a penalty for breaking your contract with us early
which is in our agency we usually derive from an average of your earnings during
the course of the current contract third and this was a fun one said that she
could not deny peering bear provided proper compensation I was tempted to
hammer this freaking company after reading this Jess was a very attractive
woman but that changes nothing let let me be clear to All actors you have every
right to deny a job for any reason you choose if your agency pushes you into
something against your own choice you call a lawyer or your union rep if you
have one there were about five other stupid things about ownership and her
responsibilities but those are the main ones nothing makes me more sick than
agencies taking advantage of kids pursuing their dream they're freaking
old aged snake oil salesmen who only survive off the desperation of people
who have dreams being an actor is tough and your agent is supposed to be on your
side it's an Unwritten rule of the profession that unless there are extreme
circumstances you hold the line with your client that's literally the rules
in my agency and I've fired people for screwing over actors for their own gain
I could go all day but please if you're ever in a situation as an actor or
performer where this is a contract just hire a lawyer to consult and have them
read it it doesn't cost much in the grand scale of what you could lose and
they will always help you because if you're happy then you'll come back if
you need them damn they asked a voice actor to go bear story four looked at
renting a house about 7 years ago and the homeowner had inserted some of her
own Clauses into the standard tency agreement now this is absolutely fine to
do but they were purposefully put into different sections of the document so if
you read the part detailing the security deposit you wouldn't see her additions
if she put them in another area in the paperwork one Clause was that no
Footwear of any kind can be worn inside the property failure to adhere to this
will mean the whole property's carpeting must be professionally cleaned another
was the waving of the mandatory notice period before the homeowner can come by
and inspect the property there's supposed to be a minimum amount of time
they must give you notice wise before they can come over unless there is a
serious property fault leak Etc so that they can't just turn up unannounced she
wanted that waved so she could check we were treating her property right and if
we weren't then we'd be immediately evicted he also caught her telling a
relative that she registers eviction proceedings upon the start of the tency
so she can evict them as soon as she decides they've broken her rules there
was a mandatory waiting period between commencement of eviction proceedings and
being able to actually get Enforcement Officers to evict a tenant not sure in
the current rules in this anymore as I don't have as much to do with rental
properties now Ned out of that house really quickly got a much bigger cheaper
house I'll be more of a death trap a few streets away it's amazing how many
landlords think they know the law and they really really don't mostly these
people tend to think I can put anything in the lease and it's valid but nope
wishful thinking if you know they're wrong but count on bullying tenants who
don't know any better and have little money to defend themselves oh and since

now let's get back to the stories Story five my husband then fiance was getting
ready to buy a used car that's often used for street racing or rally racing
he doesn't do that but it's a damn fun car to drive and is pretty much sure to
have aftermarket modifications if it's been owned by someone who used it for
racing or as a status symbol my husband had done his research and neither of us
were going to be taken for a ride and even though this was the car we
absolutely wanted we were prepared to walk away it was fairly low mileage the
dealer a third party outfit not a brand dealer kept swearing up and down that
the car was still under manufacturer's warranty and had no aftermarket mods I
was skeptical I know that if the car had any aftermarket mods the warranty would
be void for that portion of the car if not the whole thing depending on the
extent of the influence of the mods I read every piece of paperwork that
wanted my husband to sign and explained them to him but I couldn't find anything
that guaranteed that the car was still under manufacturer's warranty so I
straight up told him to walk away from the deal unless they gave us a piece of
paper that both parties signed that said exactly that they did it lo and behold
the car had an aftermarket downpipe a really nice one that had been installed
improperly huh it was affecting the air flow through the engine and could have
eventually caused permanent damage to the engine it was going to cost us
hundreds of dollars to either have it reinstalled properly or return the
engine to its original on modified state which would have given us warranty
compliance yay but surprise we had a piece of paper that gave us a hold on
them they tried to avoid us for a week or so until we left them a voicemail
saying that if we didn't hear from them in 24 hours they'd be hearing from our
ER and that's how we didn't pay for having the car restored to warranty
specs we even got to keep the downpipe it's kind of spiffy the car is a Mazda
Speed 3 story six I attended this college in 2011 and was supposed to have
received my diploma the following year as it was a 9month program I never
received it I had moved so I'm assuming that it was returned to Sender when they
sent it to my old address but never called me about it either as I couldn't
attend grad at the time for personal reasons I was interested in applying for
University a bit later because I found out that the college I had gone to was a
recognized institution so upon applying for University they wanted the
transcript from sketchy school I went down there and told him I needed my
diploma from there and that I never had received a copy in the first place the
receptionist was rude and checked the back only to tell me the original copy
wasn't there and insisted that I needed to pay a fee of $35 to get it I was
pissed off because who the hell charges a fee for a diploma you didn't receive
so I paid the $35 even though I thought it was total BS I really couldn't get
over it after a while so I rumag through my documents I had signed when I first
started the school program and lo and behold I found a line that said the
first copy or original of the diploma is no charge but that they do charge for
additional copies I'm fine with that additional copy part but not for the
original I called their office and explained how I was charged for my first
copy of my diploma that I never received and also complained about how the
receptionist treated me when I had tried to explain to her several times and
nicely that had never received my original copy the person I spoke to
found the original copy that I didn't receive she was understanding and
apologetic and said I could come back to get it in a refund it was so satisfying
coming back and seeing the pissy receptionist who basically had to admit
you messed up I realized she doesn't make the rules but she really didn't
have to be the way she was the first time around I also know it's only $35
but I don't like being taken advantage of story seven a certain shady as hell
game Publishing Company offered to buy my RPG Maker game for $1,000 upfront
with no royalties or anything I'd be basically signing away the game rights
to them entirely this didn't really seem
like a bad idea at the the time since it took me less than a month to make the
entire thing and I need the money however in the contract it also states
that the publisher would be permitted to change the game in any way they saw fit
without your consent I was absolutely not cool with this plus it turned out
that they had given the exact same offer to dozens of other RPG Maker devs some
of which had only made glorified Tech demos and the Publishers seemed really
desperate and pushy to try and get me and as many other people as possible to
sign all of this combined caused me to decline the offer in the end said
Publishers would then send me several desperate emails encouraging me to take
the offer even after I made it firmly clear that I was not interested then
after I told my story on an RPG Maker forum and unread it about dealing with
them they made several legal threats against me and tried to Blackmail me
which is why I'm not saying their name here anyway sometime pass after I
finally managed to get the guy to bug off and I started seeing horror stories
pop up on various websites about the kind of crap this company put these RPG
Maker devs through including but not limited to introducing glitches into
games that didn't exist in the original data that was sent to the publisher this
this includes at least one instance where the game would crash 100% of the
time at a specific point because the publisher removed a music track and
didn't erase the code that calls for that music track adding typos and
grammatical errors to dialogue that didn't exist in the original data that
was sent to the publisher changing the plot of their game without the dev's
consent or without even informing them such a change was being made which
caused the plot hole in the sequel that the dev was in the middle of making
making the games Easier by strengthening allies weakening enemies and or
introducing new items or equipment or skills that were overpowered also
apparently puzzle had been changed to make them easier to solve according to
the publisher all of these things were done to make the games better and more
accessible unfortunately the devs really
couldn't do anything about it since they
signed away all rights to the game for a measly
$1,000 story eight my wife and I were at a car dealership buying her first car
the dealership was offering special no interest financing for recent College
grads and we're using that to finance the car the finance guy presented us
with two options a three-year payment plan and a 5-year payment plan the whole
time he made it sound like the zero interest applied to both and so we went
for The Five-Year Plan to get a lower payment Finance guy tried to get us to
sign without reading the paperwork but we weren't having that come to find out
the longer payment plan didn't qualify for the no interest deal and we were
getting charged 6.5% which is a hell of a lot of more than zero we got pissy and
threatened to walk out after we realized what they were trying to pull and got
them to come down in the price I know they've pulled that on other recent
grads who don't read the paperwork and just sign always walk into the
dealership with your own financing from your bank story N9 mine wasn't really
extreme but my girlfriend and I were shopping for houses and we were checking
out a townhouse style condominium the price was within our budget and the
monthly maintenance fees were average for the area it was an openhouse event
hosted by a retailer so the property's annual expenses were included in a
pamphlet I found that on top of the regular monthly maintenance fees around
$350 there was an additional expense of $800 every 6 months I asked where there
was an additional expense if there were already regular fees she responded that
the extra $1600 per year was us used to keep the fees low I responded that the
fees are average for the area and many places in the same neighborhood are
already lower long story short it was a nice house but we didn't pursue it
further I'm on board with the idea of condo fees but if they cover things that
I would normally pay for like heat or water snow removal Garden Care Etc and
if needed additional expenses for major upgrades like new roofs or doors or
Windows but expecting 12 houses in the row complex to each Kick in a 1,600
bonus every year without specific accountability isn't something that
interests me story 10 I went to a reasonably well advertised jewelry store
to pick up an engagement ring knowing that I wanted it to be a surprise that
she would want to pick out her own ring in due time and made sure that the ring
would be returnable for full price and even for a full refund from that store
when I bought it for about $900 after the proposal my then fiance
found a ring she liked better at a different Jeweler so I went to return
the ring when I said I wanted to return the ring the clerk said a problem just
sign this and we'll get you sorted out I read the small paper and it stated
something very close to and now can confirmed this sale to be a final sale
and cannot be refunded or returned for any reason I read it pin in hand looked
at her and said why would I sign that she took the slip back got her manager
and I was able to get the full amount returned via the same way I paid on my
debit card for those interested it was a people's jeweler in
Vancouver I'm really confused about what the clerk was trying to achieve I hope

today we've got a great malicious compliance story showing up a university
teacher we'll get into that in a bit but first you want proof that my fiance is
sick you got it I 25-year-old female am engaged to my fiance Joey 26-year-old
male he recently had surgery on his leg and hip but there were complications and
he's been sick and weak since we try to not ask for help but this has put a big
Financial strain on us to the point where we spent our wedding savings on
his recovery we're fine with this because if we need to have a courthouse
wedding we're cool with it we just want him to be healthy but we did set up a
temporary donation page to help with some of the expenses a friend of mine
Carla 25-year-old female donated $10 about a month ago and I reached out to
her to thank her last week we posted an update not asking for more money but
just to let people know that Joey has had another setback and the doctors are
creating an all new treatment plan for him Carla commented publicly and said
the following I'm beginning to question if he actually has been sick for this
long or if y'all are just trying to get more money for your wedding who takes
this long to recover from surgery especially when you're an athlete I said
I am very offended and appalled that you
would accuse us of Faking anything maybe
you're just having a bad day or a moment of bad judgment but how shamefully low
of you she replied I want my donation back unless you can show proof that he's
sick in a hospital bed or sitting in a doctor's office anything I sent her $10
to get her off our backs but I also sent her a video with Joey's approval the
proof she asked for one of the concerns Joey is had is that he will get severely
nauseous if he eats protein which is what he's supposed to be doing and when
he overexerts himself which he does sometimes I sent her a video of him dry
heaving into an emesis bag in the middle of PT now one of his doctors asks us to
record his PT so they can see the progression of him not feeling well to
hopefully make some adjustments so I didn't didn't take this video just to
send to Carla but to me it seemed like solid proof since she was asking for it
she said what the heck I have aobi I didn't know this and this just triggered
me so bad I hope you're happy with yourself I feel like I've been
traumatized I said so now you have $1 more doar to process this trauma and
therapy man these people are just out here trying to survive get through
things get a little assistance if people
have it in their hearts to do so and you got to have these people out here who
have to try to turn it into a conspiracy theory you took my $10 and you're just
milking this thing you got us Carla we're on to you trying to milk 10 measly
dollars from you a month if we could have just done this a month or two more
we would have had Cancun booked in our wedding plans too also hi I'm Stephen
and if you guys enjoy awesome stories of malicious compliance why not hit those
like And subscribe buttons down below that said our next story is this is good
enough I'm working on a little little bit of a nightmare project at work it's
an absolute dumpster fire of a project for a plethora of reasons but only one
of those reasons just got his comeuppance and left me with a
dangerously acute case of smug this project will have a large number of
users who should have access to certain areas only corporate Espionage is a very
real concern here so the people paying for the project have very very strict
standards when it comes to access control I've been trying to work with
someone from that other company for months now his job title is data
compliance engineer and he's managed by a data compliance manager they share the
same last name at first I thought this guy was busy but as it turns out he
really just doesn't like to actually do his job you can email him as much as you
like no answers but when big names are in the CC field of the email he's all
smiles and cooperation you probably know
the type our job is to figure out what I need from him in terms of data then his
his job is to get a big list of users to
me I then feed that list into my magical
script and people have access Happy Days right wrong the first test run was a
couple hundred people I get the list a week late and the data is just horrific
there's missing data corrupted data just
an absolute steaming pile of crap trying to pass itself off as a data set takes
me almost 6 hours to clean it up so I can even get the script to run I keep
track of the errors and then give that list to Mr Data iance engineer who
astonishingly replies within minutes the data is good enough make it work so
that's how it is all right each run gets larger and larger as time goes on and
the amount of time it takes me to clean everything up gets longer and longer my
attempts to get anything fixed falls on deaf ears data compliance manager is
protecting the data compliance engineer and the company they work for will
believe their own employees over someone
from outside I tell my management what's going on on and then I tell them I have
a plan earlier today the plan yielded its Delicious Fruit I got the actual
production run a week late again and was supposed to have it all finished up for
two Fridays ago finished cleaning and got it running at 400 p.m. last Tuesday
at 4:30 p.m. that Tuesday there was a big conference call at the request of
the people actually paying all of us to do this on that call me my boss several
members of the sea Suite from a multinational Corporation and the data
compliance manager they want to know why there's been a breach of contract do we
not understand how important the deadlines are for this project please
explain to us why we're paying you all of this money for something that's
consistently late my manager adhering to the plan absolutely throws me under the
bus I don't know why things are running so far behind op would you care to
explain why you're not meeting deadlines
sure thing boss you got it I've actually prepared a literal PowerPoint
presentation of what's been going on slide one my email filtered for
communications between me and data compliance engineer 100 plus emails to
data compliance engineer and 10 coming back from him slide two his little gem
of a response to my polite request that he makes sure his data isn't garbage
slide three Snippets of data I found particularly entertaining including what
looked like a spot where he just opened the file and no notepad and started
smashing his keyboard slides 4 through 7 comparisons of different files he's
given me which are not garbage in the same way slide eight the obvious
conclusion from different versions having different garbage he was
sabotaging the files before sending them over there's a moment of silence on the
call and you can see the data compliance
manager open his mouth several times and just closes it again the CEO of the
company thanks me and then drops from the call almost immediately
everyone from the other company follows suit last Wednesday bright and early I
got an email from a new data compliance engineer who has thus far proven to be a
delight to work with couldn't be happier the fruit I mentioned before I replied
all on an older email Thread about something that had come up got two out
of office replies one from the old data compliance engineer and another from the
data compliance manager both of them had opted to take an extended leave of
absence and if any data compliance issues are Urgent please reach out to
the new guy I made it work this my friends is why it is critical to cover
your butt and I guess in some cases literally make an eight slide PowerPoint
presentation bottom line if you got to get your point across about somebody who
is just screwing the pooch here having a literal PowerPoint presentation you've
provided to cover your butt is pretty good evidence our next story is can't
get an extension you say okay then when I was in university one class had a
weekly assignment which was a one-page essay which was mandatory to pass but
only worth 1% of the final Mark per weekly essay so they made up 10% of the
total Mark in a 10-week semester each week had put in a lot of effort and no
matter what would get a mark of 9 out of 10 which equates to .9% of the 1% mark
this went on for about 6 weeks I thought it was a little odd that it was always
the same Mark and was frustrated I didn't get full marks because they were
basic questions and I answered perfectly but that's besides the point of the
story anyway my record thus far was perfect I was a model student never late
perfect work etc now in week seven I had a family emergency I could not complete
my essay and asked for one day's extension one day given my record I
didn't Envision an issue with this but surprisingly the teacher denied my
request and told me if if I didn't submit it I'd fail the course all righty
then so I had dealt with set emergency it was late I opened my word document
wrote half a sentence and then typed some gibberish that looked like an error
code and copied and pasted it down the page then I uploaded the essay online
you said I needed to submit my essay here it is what I fully expected to
happen was that the teacher would contact me and say that there was an
error uploading my document and to please submit it this would have been
the next day since it was late at night when I submitted it and so I would have
time to do it properly which is what would have happened had she granted me
the extension in the first place what happened instead was I heard nothing
then I got my grade N9 out of 10 what I figured out is my teacher must not have
even been reading our essays she was probably marking US based on our
previous assignment grades and just copying and pasting the grade each week
the worst thing is I couldn't report her
because that would have meant confessing to submitting an incomplete essay
needless to say for the last 3 weeks I put minimal effort into my essays and lo
and behold continued my streak of N9 out of 10 I love that in this situation op
literally didn't do the work submitted it hoping for an error and then would
have to do the work got a nine out of 10 and their reaction was I really want to
report this person if I found out this loophole I would keep doing it for the
rest of the semester probably except for
the things that were Vally important our next story is I need a doctor's note to
work from home for more than 2 days while I have an unidentified presumably
contagious illness if you insist it's a tale as old as capitalism my job which
to be fair I freaking adore working at and I'm so grateful for and happy at
requires a doctor's note because I've been sick and working from home for 2
days now I haven't just had a minor cold
or flu several days ago I came came down with the worst cold or flu symptoms you
can imagine and then things started going downhill from there it got to the
point where I've now been to the ER 2 days in a row because of tonsilitis and
excruciating pain brought on by swallowing tiny sips of water it's not
great and despite a whole battery of swabs and tests the doctors don't know
what the underlying bacteria or virus causing these symptoms is obviously
there's no way in heck I want to infect my co-workers with this plague so I told
HR that I would be working from home until I'm feeling better since my job
can be done 100% remotely they hit me back with the ever famous if you need to
work from home for more than two days in
a week you'll need a doctor's note since it's against policy my first instinct
was to just go into work looking sounding and feeling like death warmed
up but a I don't want to infect my colleagues and B I legitimately believe
that I would pass out on my walk to work and would have to be taken to the
hospital yet again instead I spoke to the ER doctor from earlier this evening
my second visit in as many days I asked him how long he thought I should stay
away from work or work from home and then told him I needed a note so I could
stay home he had a brief flash of vaguely Furious what the freak cross his
face at the eyes that my job would force someone as sick as I am to come in and
risk the health of those around me then assured me he would write the note I was
thinking it would just be a basic op should continue to work from home until
the end of the week nah bro came through for me he wrote a note saying that I
should be off of work for at minimum another week and then added the piece to
resistance as his last line infectious disease requires more time than 2 days
to improve I love any story like this where the doctors are absolutely
appalled at these businesses being like come on you need a doctor's note I know
you're practically on your deathbed but come on especially all the ones I've
heard where they insist you have to come hand deliver the note they really try
their best to just get everybody sick there our next story is who starts the
dishwasher empties it okay not sure how this will be received but here goes I'm
a master's student in a well-known University in my country my job until my
thesis is approved is to assist students with their analyses during Hands-On
laboratory courses and whoever needs assistance in my advisor's crew whether
they are doctorate or Masters do analyses for whatever they do I like
what I do and I'm dang good at it we had a chain of inconsequential feuds with a
fellow Master student let's call her F during my first year here after I
devastatingly lost a lot of the elderly side of my family back toback I know how
it is to work with someone constantly feeling blue but the way I was treated
crossed the line constantly being told I was a downer and becoming a thanless
errand boy made me hate F she made her job to make my life heck every chance
she had twisting and turning the unwritten etiquette rules of the
laboratory willy-nilly to inconvenience me especially concerning cleaning the
glass equipment making me take out the trash even though we had janitors making
me wash the dishes by hand and throwing whatever she was using in front of me
without seeing anything the straw that broke the cowls back was last New Year's
joint gift to our adviser the gist of it is that it quickly became a screaming
match between us because I had to run to the pharmacy to get my dad's heart
medicine and couldn't join the crew for getting the present I had to run to a
store and get my own after that I was singled out because I'm a male and she's
a female raising my voice back at her was a cardinal sin I had to do
everything on my own I made sure everything was going swimmingly and
surprisingly made it work publishing three articles in a year but the
bullying continued the last rule that she added was emptying the dishwasher
after starting it I had nothing to do with the dishwasher at the time but
since I was the odd one out the blame fell on me apparently she was about to
do her analyses for her thesis and nothing was in place she was very vocal
in our WhatsApp group containing our adviser I was chewed out by the
doctorate students screw it let's dance come spring cleaning in our lab before
the laboratory classes started the dishwasher was loaded with all kinds of
glass equipment one of the doctorate students told F to start the dishwasher
this was 2 weeks ago I haven't touched anything because I didn't start it right
this morning I was doing some analyses in the lab and noticed the dishwasher
was still full this is my time to shine I wrote verbatim down to every Emoji she
used to call her out on the very same thing I was chewed out for I replied to
her older messages about people are constantly working in the lab so we
should be diligent and hit her with a dis you it was her day off so she now
has to take the bus for 2 hours from her home just to get chewed out by the
adviser I got a KN of approval and an apology from our adviser on behalf of
the crew I'm feeling better about the whole ordeal now I can only imagine when
op noticed that she started slipping up didn't get to it right away and they
didn't say anything that they were praying they would make the exact same
mistake they got op chewed out for it must have felt so good in op's shoes to
be able to call it and throw it right back in her face but with that being
said that's all the time we have for today now if you want to hear another
awesome malicious compliance story check out that video on the left or if you
missed my latest video check out that video on the right that said I'll see
you all next time with some more stories | give me a good story on rMaliciousComplianceDISHWASHERMALICIOUSCOMPLIANCERedditStoriesorig |

Story one my neighbors didn't like the color of my house was so they had it
painted a different color while I was out of town so this is a probably a
really weird question for me to ask but it's a weird situation and I'm not
really sure what I can do my house is on a corner lot 2 years ago a newlywed
couple moved into the one house that's beside mine right away they started
making weird comments about the color my house was painted yellow and soon
switched to outright demanding that I painted a different color my house was
painted yellow when it was built- it I like the color and there is no byw
against it or anything they have called the police on me about it as well as the
city both of whom told them to pound sound because I hadn't done anything
wrong and there was nothing they could do they also tried suing me in court the
suit was thrown out and they had to pay my legal fees and getting our other
neighbors together to form a homeowners association in the hopes eventually I
could be forced to paint my house a different color our other neighbors also
told them to pound sand and they have basically alienated themselves from
everyone else in the neighborhood at this point I recently had to go out of
town for something I was gone for 2 weeks when I got back 2 days ago my
house was gray seriously I actually almost drove past it because I'm so used
to my yellow house I knew immediately who was responsible but when I went over
and knocked on their door no one answered I think the couple figured out
that I was away and not just at work when they saw our neighbors collecting
my mail for me because I sure as hell never told them I was going away and I
know my other neighbors hate them too and didn't tell them the neighbor from
across the street came over and showed me pictures that he took of the painting
company setting up and doing the work he said he and another neighbor called the
police but the painting company had a valid work order and had been paid so
the police couldn't do anything he also told about it but because they were paid
to do the work they said they had to do it to avoid being sued I called the
painting company to get a copy of the work order and it was in the name of an
MS Jane Smith and was paid for in cash a red-headed woman and her red-headed
husband came to the company to hire them my neighbors are both redheads saying
they would be out of town and would like
their house painted while they were gone they gave the Painting Company pictures
of my house taken from the street I have a surveillance camera at my front and
side doors and in my backyard because I work shifts and as a woman living alone
I don't want some stranger breaking into
my house and waiting to Ambush me when I get home my neighbors never set foot on
my property at anytime so they can't be charged with trespassing and they didn't
do the painting which was actually done properly when I called the police they
reiterated that since the painters were hired had a valid work order and were
paid to do the job they can't be charged with trespassing because it was
reasonable for them not to know and they were acting in good faith and didn't
cause any phy asterisk asterisk cow damage to the house also the neighbors
can't be charged with trespassing or vandalism because they didn't come on my
property or touch the house themselves I don't know if I can sue anyone because
there was no actual damage or harm done to me or the house my neighbors still
have not answered their door or shown themselves I am pissed off beyond belief
because I liked my yellow house and I can't believe how F asterisk asterisk
King crazy that they have been I wish I could good show a court or city council
how psycho they have been over this I want to know if I have any recourse or
if I can do something to get them to pay to paint the house back to Yellow does
anyone know what I can do to get them to fix this and paint it back edit I live
in the state of Louisiana relevant comments top comment deleted call your
homeowners insurance file a vandalism claim insurance company pays you paint
your home back yellow give insurance company all information let them sue
them this is why you have insurance Kel 30 they defaced your property that is
vandalism depending on how much it costs to fix it may be a felony you also have
damages the cost of painting your house back to the color you like the principle
applies to someone who paints a beautiful mural on a drab gry wall that
is still vandalism even though in many respects it is an improvement on how
much a new paint job would cost oop they the neighbors paid $4,000 in cash
according to the painting company update September 6th 2015
day I was going to wait until the after the weekend to talk to the lawyer I used
for their last lawsuit against me but there have been further developments so
I had to call him this morning beyond the fact that they have filed another
lawsuit against me for the cost of the painters yes seriously I can't say
anything further about what has all happened on the advice of my lawyer I
will provide an update once everything is resolved edit thank you to everyone
who responded to my last post you really know how to make a girl feel
special relevant comments Loop and and chemist well I suppose that makes
proving culpability pretty easy the painters are no longer needed to pin the
neighbors an Uncharted Island seriously didn't they just completely incriminate
themselves if so that's actually awesome news for op hindes they did and what's
even better is that they are too stupid to realize they've incriminated
themselves editors note sadly marking this as inconclusive as o hasn't posted
in over 8 years we'll have to assume O's house color is back to cheery yellow
with a sprinkling of tasteful rainbow polka dots reluctantly financed by their
neighbors thank you for reading story two my soon to be ex-husband and my
sister through everything they cared for for one week original post May 8th 2024
title I got a text from my sister's bestie about her and my husband loving
me too much to do anything to hurt me my sister's bestie told me that she feels
guilty for being a snitch but that she couldn't do this to me anymore because
she thinks that I am a kind person and don't deserve this my sister and my
husband have always along very well they're both brilliant both lecturers at
the University and they have so much in common I am not stupid but I never loved
school and I have high school education they have become best friends throughout
the years 14 years but never once did I feel uncomfortable about it since my
husband has shown me nothing but love and respect the opposite until now I
counted myself lucky that the two people that I love the most in this world get
along so well but now I feel nauseated the bestie sent me screenshots upon
screenshots of her conversation with with my sister my sister has feelings
for my husband and she appears to know that my husband feels the same way about
her too in one of the texts my sister wrote that she loved me too much to do
anything to hurt me in another she wrote that I am too dear to both her and my
husband to do anything that would hurt me she seems to think that they're
soulmates which is odd because the talk about soulmates came up once between my
husband and I when I told him that I didn't want us to be soulmates he was
curious and asked me why I told him because soulmates meant that we are
programmed or destined to fit together there's no free will involved and I want
my love to come from a free space not a predestined place he laughed and said he
loved that but apparently there soulmates I know that I need to talk to
him but I am dreading that I am in so much despair right now broken heart
relevant comment commenter if what the friend sent you is true you need to take
a moment and gather your thoughts before this talk you need to have with your
husband if possible check his phone so you have firsthand look at the
communication not the friends one if real the emotional affair is more than
enough of a betrayal o for me even an emotional affair is a deal breaker
unfortunately edit same post same day hi
thanks for your help I asked how I would be sure before asking my husband so he
doesn't just blatantly lie and you suggested to look into his phone thanks
for your suggestion I did now I told him
about my sister's conversations with her best friend and showed him the
screenshots he was shocked at first and said he had no romantic feelings for her
and he had no idea about her feelings so I asked to see his phone I read the
their texts and emails and I was shocked
that their contact is way more intensive and intense than I thought they talk on
a daily basis they have lunch multiple times a week nothing as the asterisk u
in the texts but yeah he is stupid if he doesn't know that she loves him and he
must think that I am stupid if after reading I wouldn't get the feeling that
he has some feelings too in one of her texts she wrote that she wished they had
met first and under different circumstances his answer wasn't totally
dismissive he wrote yeah it would probably have been different when I
asked him about it he said Well yeah if he didn't know and love me he would
probably have been interested in another my sister included but he loves me and
she is a close friend of his so there's no se asterisk U relationship between
them but I am not sure that is enough for me I think they are both wrong and
should have nipped it in the budway earlier I don't know what to do now I
think I need time for myself to process this I don't feel well at all about this
and I don't want to make decisions from a place of fear and hurt nor convenience
I am sorry I can't answer all private messages because I don't use my phone
that often but our ages are my husband is 45 I am 42 my sister is 38 my husband
and I have been together for 16 years and married for 14 my sister is single I
am not a stay-at-home mom I have my own business we don't have children my
sister has two from a previous relationship update same post May 9th
2024 next day so now I have had some long talks and discussions with my
husband he seems to think that this is getting bigger than it is supposed to
because I told him that I needed time alone to think and digest this he said
that he doesn't understand why I am this
hurt since he loves me and nobody else I didn't relent however and he admitted
that he knows that my sister is in love with him because she has told him so but
she knows that nothing can happen between them so she is fine with just
friendship martyr he loves her but not romantically and he is happy to have a
friend like her their friendship is important to him and he doesn't want to
end because I don't trust him and his love for me he made a comparison to my
best friend and asked what I would think if he asked me to cut my best friend
from my life he admitted that intellectually he has more in common
with her than with me but that the heart doesn't always choose who we are more
compatible and that he loves and is physically attracted to me I think this
whole situation is messed up I am repulsed by them both I texted my sister
all her screenshots and she wrote that she was disappointed in her bestie and
that your husband is all yours because I would never let anything happen would
hurt you because you are the most important person to me in other words
they are both contradicting each other since both seem to believe that they are
the one who is not letting a relationship between them grow for my
sake relevant comments on them meeting for lunch about the lunches he says that
it is because they both work at the University and they eat lunch when both
are in office but Tad isn't true because they don't work in the same building
commenter how did he act was he truly shocked why did he hide how intense
their communication was O op he was probably more shocked that my sister is
talking to her friend about this otherwise he knows everything and
probably likes it or he would have stopped it comment her other women's
husbands are not your soulmates as an academic I know academics are often very
emotionally disregulated individuals inclined to as trct and even magical
thinking are you sure she isn't delusional they both sound like idiots
oop they are idiots yes if I was her and I had developed feelings to my sister's
husband I would have nibbed it immediately she is not a heroin for not
wanting to hurt me and sacrificing her happiness instead if I was him I would
have immediately gone no contact with someone who has feelings for me if we
are to believe that he doesn't reciprocate her feelings like he is
pretending if I had any respect for my spouse so they are both idiots yes
update post June 15th 2024 1 month and one week later I have written here and a
few comments about my soon to be ex-husband and my sister I left him
about a week after and he texted me day and night about how much he loved me and
wanted me back then he just stopped that's when I found out that my sister
left her children at my parents house and moved in with my husband this made
everything come out to the rest of my family and my parents were shocked and
my mother really looked like she was already showing PTSD symptoms about how
disgusting she felt this whole thing was
she kept calling it incest and asking is
that even legal I guess that is how much my sister cared not to hurt me if you
read my first post even though I have been well composed and calm that I
surprised myself I still tried my hardest to look back on my whole life
childhood and upbringing to understand when it all went so wrong what my sister
did felt like something that was the result of years of resentment or at
least indifference towards me and our relationship as sisters so how did I
miss that she never cared about me did she if she didn't how could I have been
so blind then not even a week later I heard that they have ended things I
found out in the oddest way possible my sister texted me the first time she
texted me since everything started she just wrote UB I hope you burn in life
and in hell I was very confused because she spent that week sharing cheesy deep
quotes about love and soulmates and romantic insta stories with my stbxh but
apparently that was over stbxh has blocked her everywhere and she moved out
because she came to my parents to get her children and had a meltdown when
they asked for explanation stbxh started calling and texting me again asking me
to meet because he wanted to explain because he loved me and wanted me to
understand he wanted to meet at least once before we started to meet with the
lawyers involved so that is that this has left me even more confused than if
they just ended up together I understand falling out and in love breaking up and
starting a new but I can't explain this my stbxh keeps calling me his only love
and true friend and my sister until I left kept promising that she would never
do anything to hurt me she left her children at my parents doorstep and
didn't answer their calls or texts for a week and all of this for a week what
were they thinking has anyone here heard of something like this happening people
throwing everything for not even a week post June 15th same day after one week
of being in love and my sister leaving her children at my parents door to be
living in my home with my soon to be ex-husband and flaunting everything on
social media and sharing cheesy quotes she moved back to her apartment and got
her children from my parents they aren't friends on FB and he unfollowed her on
Instagram now she is saying that I have ruined her happiness and he started
texting me again begging me to talk in private because he needed to explain
everything before we started getting our
lawyers involved between us I understand that people fall out of love and
sometimes they can't control who they fall for and they can hurt many people
around them but I never heard of two people throwing everything they
pretended to care about for one week relevant comments commenter speak to my
attorney I'd have that as my outgoing voice message o op I haven't answered
any calls from him his family or unknown numbers I don't answer any texts either
comment men come and go but a sister doing this is a f asterisk asterisk King
Abomination I could not imagine betraying my sisters like this she
ruined her own damned life what is she blaming you for being married to her
aair partner I'd let her have him oop she can most certainly have him
commenter she can most certainly have him oop I don't have great relationship
with his family especially his mother we
lost our child and they blamed me for us not wanting more children afterwards
when it was both's decision commenter it's even worse that they are harassing
you on his behalf also sorry for your loss child and relationships o I don't
know if they are harassing me on his behalf to be hon honest since I haven't
answered them they could be as confused as I am and he could be ghosting them
not taking any chances anyway thank you H commenter so they actually admitted to
being together did they admit to the affair oop I don't know TBH I don't
think he knew that I knew they were together until he found out she was
sharing it on Instagram commenter I remember your first post what threw me
was him giving a whole Spiel on how he loves you and doesn't love your sister
in that way and the first thing he does is move your sister into y'all's home he
is living in regret right now these two are probably still in contact I wouldn't
be surprised if they end back together shaking my head onward and upward oop I
don't think they are still in contact no commenter this is the thing with
infatuation SLC Crush you build someone up in your mind but the reality is so
very different it's funny that it only took one week for them to fall apart
your sister dumping her kids speaks volumes about the type of person she is
I hope her life is hell I hope Karma F asterisk asterisk KS her to the maximum
go see him let him explain get your closure and For the Love of All That is
Holy cut your sister off oop as much I am confused and want answers I don't
want to get them from him I don't know how the divorce will be done and if I am
going to need to see him or not hopefully not but if it happens my
lawyer can do the talking that's why I am here instead maybe people here have
experience of something similar and can explain WTF happened these past two
months | give me a good story on Myneighborsdidntlikethecolorofmyhousewassotheyhaditpaintedadifferentorig |

welcome friends to another r slash pro revenge video today we've got a crazy
story about somebody getting their car crushed but first a story from willingly
lost 90 the battle of the parking spots so i live in a very large apartment
complex i believe there's around 900 apartments the majority of parking spots
are first come first serve if you work odd hours or get home late you'll have
to park near the mailboxes and walk to your apartment and it can be a pretty
long walk half a mile when you sign the lease you get the option to pay extra
and get an assigned parking spot one bedroom apartment can have two paid
spots and two bedroom apartments can have up to four when i moved in we paid
for two spots as i work a split shift so half the week i'm not home until
midnight and half the week i get home around 6 30. there's signs in front of
each spot saying that if you're not paying for said spot you will be towed
the spots are also numbered if it matters we had no issues for almost
three years but during kovit i got a promotion and a company car my roommate
changed jobs also and they gave her a company car as her job as her driving to
nearby states as luck would have it two spots directly next to the ones we
already own came open so we purchased them so when you get a paid spot you
have to provide proof of license registration and your plates if anyone
else parks in your spot you have to call and okay it the maintenance staff are
known to check cars randomly and the cop who lives on site likes to tag cars for
towing the residents have to call a dedicated number leave the information
and the apartments call the tow truck so we have four spots and four cars my
roommate was going out of town and decided to get her personal vehicle
worked on so when she left town it meant two of our spots sat empty then someone
tried to steal my car so i had to take it into the shop so my work vehicle is a
very large suv so when we have spaces i open park parallel into the spots since
we pay for them i came home from work parked my suv parallel and went to bed i
woke up walked the dog and noticed someone had stuck a sticker saying to
stop blocking two spots and there was a random car parked in the fourth spot i
personally don't mind if people accidentally park in our spots and i
leave a note explaining that the spot they're in is reserved along with the
spots number seven eight and nine and please not park there again i went to
work and the car was gone came home and the same car was in spot seven i parked
next to them and once again explained that the spot is reserved and next time
i will ask the apartment to tow them again went to work and came home and the
same car was parked parallel in spots eight and nine so the way the spots are
set up every four spots have a concrete curb with grass on it the way he parked
his rear bumper was touching the concrete curb i parked in my spot but as
close to his car as i could i don't use my passenger side door so i don't need
access to it i was off the next day and was supposed to get my daily driver out
of the shop i get up around lunch and check outside and the car is still
blocked i once again tell them to not park in my spots i move my car over one
spot so they can get out and get a ride to get my car i go do some errands go
get food see a movie etc i get home around 11 pm the car is still parked in
my spot the letter i wrote was shredded and on the ground and on my work car was
a letter telling me off as i don't deserve the spots so my revenge i parked
my personal car where my work car was right next to his and put an old trail
camera on the pole near the spot i had another four days until my roommate was
home so for the next three days i didn't
move my car on day three apparently they
tried to call a tow truck to move my car the tow truck pulled up looked at the
spots and left on day four i called the apartments and had him towed i hope he
didn't need his car for three days the car hasn't been in my spots since i love
the idea that this person thought they were all high and mighty and doing
people a service because this person's parking like a total jerk in these four
parking spots why doesn't anybody do anything about these parking spots
they're acting like they own them oh wait if you had the option of blocking
them in for a few days then calling the tow truck or just calling the tow truck
the first time they left a sticker on your car would you have called the tow
truck first thing or would you try to ride it out a little bit make it even
more annoying let me know what you would do in the comments down below our next
story is from plane initiative 8316 cruised to nowhere bubby and i moved
into a new house in 2018. when we were buying the house we asked his brother
and his sister and her husband to co-sign on our mortgage in return we
said we'd take them on a cruise in 2019 we were going to go on a cruise but
brother-in-law couldn't get off work and sister-in-law got pregnant then there
was a pandemic during the pandemic we were made aware of some problematic
dynamics between sister-in-law and her husband and their kids so we filed a
report with child protective services they're now understandably upset with us
however our report was completely justified sister unlock keeps telling us
that we owe her for intentionally messing with her and every time we talk
with her it's been very very infrequent she tries to get us to give her money
she's also been doing things to sabotage my husband's company and is
systematically turning mutual friends against us she now wants us to pay her
the money we would have spent on a cruise for her i'm not trying to change
the terms of our initial agreement but she's insistent that we have to do it to
make amends so now i'm shopping for a one-night cruise to nowhere absolutely
the cheapest cruise i can find she won't even be able to go because she's not
vaccinated but hey at least i'll have followed through frankly i'm wishing the
best for op because it sounds like maybe they're gonna have some issues going
forward potentially i mean hopefully not
but it sounds potentially messy our next story is from gene paul just a meme for
grandma so my grandma is a witch that has always emotionally manipulated my
mom the breaking point of which i couldn't forgive her was when we were in
the city we lived in a rural town four hours away from an urban area she called
my mom and asked her if her husband was there he was was she out of the doctor's
office we just got out was she in the car yes we were stuck in traffic then
proceeded to say oh your sister lisa died and hung up so i don't really talk
to her all that much and she unfriended me on facebook like five years ago
because i was being sarcastic in a political argument aka being
disrespectful and thinking with the left side of my brain as she's aged she's
also become more and more concerned with
seeming proper and polite that the short and skinny of some of my reactions with
her and who she is as a person so just to be petty i sent her a friend request
on facebook and she accepted just a tagger and a meme saying thanks for
shooting a baby out of know your then unfriended her my mom's probably
going to call telling me how my grandma was offended but oh well it's small but
very betty happy mother's day to all you you know what shooters out there i mean
that's definitely one way to look at it if you hate your grandma at least you
know they went and partially were responsible for you being able to have
life regardless so that's one positive thing they did right by the way if
you're enjoying these stories make sure to hit those like and subscribe buttons
down below so you never miss any of my daily videos every one of my daily
videos has great stories like our next one from junker nomicon this isn't the
best example of petty revenge but satisfying i'm in a record collecting
group on facebook from the area around my hometown and i live on the other side
of the country but i'm still active in the group in the time leading up to
kovid i sparked up a conversation with an adam in that led to attraction i
started making some plans to come home for a visit to see her i even had a
ticket in a shopping cart the day my home stayed locked down the isolation of
the lockdown brought us closer together eventually we were texting all day long
and video chatting regularly when the lockdown was coming to an end i started
making plans to come visit about this time my best friend passed of covid so i
had to go home for his funeral when i got home she started pressuring slash
lowkey threatening me to come see her she lives about an hour away from my
hometown when i did go meet her she was totally different and very entitled
wouldn't help pay for anything she complained about the hotel i got because
it wasn't nice enough but wouldn't help to pay to get a nicer one after we
hooked up i dozed off because of the three-hour time difference when i woke
up she was gone i called her and she came back
thanks we decided to go out to eat and she was gracious enough to tell me that
she would pay for her own meal thanks again she drove to one restaurant she
drove around the parking lot once and made the decision the wait would be too
long so she took me back to my car heck no i went back to my hometown instead of
spending the night at that hotel i decided on the way home that i didn't
need this in my life i stopped talking to her that day the last thing i said to
her was i don't owe you an exit interview i stopped posting in the group
because of my friend passing and the episode with this woman record
collecting was a hobby i shared with my best friend and couldn't bring myself to
touch my turntable for a long time i pushed my feelings aside about what
happened as i was starting to deal with the loss of my friend cue my low-key
revenge when you talk to a person for two years you get to know them pretty
well she was always jealous of this one woman in the group she crap-talked her
all the time and tried to ostracize her she was also one of those people that
were always online she sees everything that goes on in the group when i started
posting again i started to like the other girls posts going back to when i
stopped posting i didn't like them all at once i would do one or two of them at
a time because she would see it she blocked me in less than two weeks and
blocked all of my friends of mine she met this isn't the best example of petty
revenge but it felt good to me i just feel bad for op because they spent all
that time connecting with somebody that they felt they had a real connection
with they were video chatting they were texting all the time and then when they
finally meet up it's like you see all these character flaws that you just
never would have gone for if you knew they were there in the first place
honestly i guess that's one of the downsides of doing a long distance thing
if the whole thing started out long distance you just never really know
until you're physically with the person our next story is from disassociated
developer be a jerk then you don't get the house this is my father's story toby
this permission i wanted to brag about my dad's decision to stick it to a jerk
my grandparents built then lived in the same house since the early 70s it has 5
acres and was a small-scale farm for their family growing up they both passed
away within a month of each other several months ago their kids my parents
aunts and uncles didn't need the home and none of their kids my siblings
cousins nor i could afford it it was in a trust so all siblings needed to agree
to make price etc most just wanted it to be sold quickly so they could move on
with their lives they spent a couple months cleaning the property and house
up repairing anything minor then put it on the market comparables estimated the
property over 850 000 but it did need more work roof replaced
and some cosmetic work on the foundation wiring was updated back in the early
2000s there were a couple people showing interest but no serious offers for a
couple months so we dropped the price to around 830 000 since there was a little
work to be done enter the most scuzzy realtor slash buyer he wanted it but his
wife really wanted it they had put their house in a more urban setting with a
small fraction of an acre on the market and were under contract and basically
guaranteed the sale of their house for an obscene amount of money according to
my father i forgot to ask how much their realtor found out it sold for they
negotiated down to 740 000 and all of the siblings since the
property was in a trust account it sad to see it go to someone outside
the family but what do you do nobody could afford it or needed that much
property he represented himself as his realtor which would mean he gets a
percentage of the final price back at the end of it all i understand it's not
technically illegal in our state but it's kind of bs in my opinion then he
started asking for reduced price for many things things like the cost of
taking the outbuildings down a horse corral horsetack shed greenhouse
and disconnected garage that he set up as a workshop he said they were all a
hazard and he shouldn't have to pay for them coming down they passed building
codes just didn't look perfect cosmetically on the outside just one
example of many we just wanted to move on with our lives but after we would
accept an offer he would then ask for more drive the cost lower eventually got
it down nearly below six hundred thousand he had about three thousand
tied up in escrow to purchase it and his deadline for closing on the house or
losing that money was approaching but he kept asking for more because he kept
negotiating he passed his deadline to get his money back asked for 580 000
then my father snapped and i've never seen him snap i never seen him get petty
but i'm glad he did he called the nephew who has horses but wanted more property
for adequate training and riding space couldn't afford what it was actually
worth so he'd passed on it before my father asked if they would qualify for
the last accepted price just over six hundred thousand and they did all the
sublime agreed and so they declined the realtor dude's offer and said never mind
we won't sell to you through their realtor of course so the jerk loses his
three thousand dollars doesn't get the house and doesn't have a home at all he
apparently really thought he would get my grandpa's house so his house was
closed on and he would have to move out very soon to say he was pissed is an
understatement our poor realtor had to be the gatekeeper but she at least took
satisfaction in pointing out to him that it was his own fault he didn't get the
house we have to wait until the realtor guy signs the termination paperwork
which he's delaying since that was all he has left to try to stick it to our
family but grandpa's house is staying in the family once that final date passes
less than a week left my parents may not have sold the house for what it was
worth but it was worth sticking it to that guy screw him honestly the level of
greed some people have really can blow you away they managed to talk that house
down 180 thousand 000 and that wasn't enough for this guy they
wanted to go lower and lower and lower at what point was the deal finally good
enough that they were like okay i'll accept if i have to if you guys won't
give me a break i guess i'll accept this house for five hundred fifty thousand
our next story is from carrot dunn cold petty revenge served ice cold literally
this is a story from my parents about my
great grandmother she passed well before
my birth but lives on mainly through the story and other small anecdotes she was
my father's maternal grandmother so not much has been shared about her but this
story is my favorite it is a cold snowy day in new york city and either the mid
to late 80s or the early 90s pre-1995 my great-grandmother maria and my great
aunt julia were shoveling the street in front of their apartment clearing
parking spots for not only their cars but also for maria's husband who was
away at work he spent a fair amount of time doing so due to the large amount of
snow as soon as they finished and put the shovel away their neighbor richard
drove up and immediately took the spot the two of them went up to richard to
try and explain that they were shoveling
the spot for the family member who would not be home until late but richard had
none of it he cursed them out and walked about a few feet to his apartment julia
and maria watched him go inside almost as soon as he got inside maria told
julia to get the shovel they spent another hour or so shoveling in
richard's car covering it completely with the snow they had cleared moments
before once the car was very much covered maria took a kettle and poured
hot water over the car ensuring that the new york city freezing cold weather
would turn the snow-covered car into a big block of ice richard didn't leave
the house until the next morning when he had to go to work he saw the car and
immediately became enraged maria was at the window with a cup of coffee smiling
and waving to him when he turned towards
her apartment according to maria it took richard at least three hours to get the
car out and she watched him the entire time with her good cup of coffee i'm not
gonna lie when i hear stories about great grandmother and great aunt and
then i hear mid to late 80s or early 90s i start feeling particularly old it's a
great story of revenge though i'm just i can't get over how
fossilized i'm feeling right now am i a grandfather all of a sudden our next
story is from derby desk be rude to me and my co-workers and i'll absolutely
inconvenience you i used to work for an extended stay hotel in literally every
department we were a small hotel with a bit over a hundred rooms boss offered
overtime and i wanted overtime we'd get a lot of people staying for work most
would leave their families at home if they brought their families it would
meant their job was willing to pay lots of money for whatever service they
provide their employers so we would suck up to the guests keep them happy keep
them at the hotel i was indifferent or liked almost all the guests even the
difficult ones but this one lady still makes me grumpy years later she was the
nanny of a husband and wife doctor team i think and she was awful she'd walk the
kids down the hall complaining yell at the kids for being near her just
terrible one morning i was covering the desk so my co-worker could get breakfast
and the nanny comes down asking about a swimsuit that may have been left at the
pool i told her no one turned it into the front desk but i checked with
housekeeping and if i found it i'd get it to her relevant later she walked off
mumbling just as sarah came back from breakfast and told me this lady's rude
and complains daily over nothing i head over to housekeeping and start checking
on the housekeepers since i was working as the supervisor for them for the day i
get in your nanny's room and hear her yelling at the housekeeper the kind of
yelling that happens when someone's trying to make someone who doesn't know
english magically learn english i step in solve nanny problem she leaves
witching housekeeper makes an inappropriate joke at the most perfect
time and they go on to clean nanny's room i go in to help with the stay over
because i wanted the housekeeper done and out before nanny got back when i
went to replace the towels in the bathroom i saw the missing swimsuit
hanging to dry by the tub so that mystery was solved and i didn't have to
talk to the nanny again towards the end of my shift the assistant manager asks
if i'd help the front desk during the check-in and dinner rush i tell her yes
and then let her know that the nanny's annoying and may be a problem i can't
remember all the details but everyone had complained about the nanny even the
people who don't care about anyone or anything the hotel's problem was she
hadn't crossed a line to be spoken to or warned on paper she was just a pain in
the butt the final straw for me was when she came to the desk to tell me the
morning girl had admitted to stealing one of the children's swimsuits and that
we had to pay her cash to replace it and find a new one now this woman had seen
me multiple times that day but everyone who worked the front desk looked similar
enough that we would constantly get mistaken for each other and would use
this to our advantage like when this woman told me i said i stole a swimsuit
when i in fact said i would help them find it then saw it in her room i was
irritated to say the least i told her i would discuss it with the manager and
then she asked me for a shuttle to the downtown restaurant for her and the kids
now i am admittedly that annoying co-worker who struggles to bend the
rules for anyone or anything i also like knowing things and had been around the
second longest at that point at least for the front desk staff and a few
months back one of the shuttle drivers wondered out loud to herself why it was
okay for small children to be in the shuttle without a car seat i emailed my
immediate superior and got sent a forwarded email chain that had gone up
to regional and basically it wasn't okay since i'd been in other departments and
the rule was that if the kid looks young enough to need a car seat we mention it
but don't verify age and leave it to the parent and shuttle driver to make the
final decision no one had made this woman put the kids into a car seat while
i informed this lady that i'd be happy to call for a shuttle as soon as she had
the car seats in the lobby but no one has made me do it before
they let me on the shuttle without them all the time the call of i'm getting my
way people i respond with i'm so sorry i
wasn't aware when i talked to my manager about the swimsuit i'll ask that she
sends out a reminder to the rest of the staff that car seats are mandatory she
left in a huff and i called the shuttle driver who i told the situation to i
then got a call from the doctor dad confirming if what i told the nanny was
accurate and he said he understood it was for the children's safety nanny came
down and asked the shuttle driver if i was serious and then she left i made
sure everyone knew these kids had to have their car seats and the nanny was
so frustrated and witched to my boss who completely had my back i don't know if
nanny actually cooled it a bit or if i found so much joy from watching her drag
the car seats to and from the shuttle that i just didn't notice her witching
as much either way i felt better the rest of her stay i mean for somebody
that comes into this hotel and makes everything harder or more annoying for
anybody they come in contact with god forbid you make it a little bit harder
or more annoying for that nanny in return and in regards to the car seat
isn't that like a legal necessity like yeah they probably won't get in trouble
for it but technically aren't they supposed to legally have those car seats
in there or at least for liability sakes it should be mandatory right for the
company so i feel like there's no real complaining when somebody actually
enforces that and like imagine you're the parent of those kids and then nanny
calls you up complaining because they want to put your kids in a shuttle
without car seats and they're the ones insisting hey put your kids in car seats
you know make it safer for your kids like how would that really make that
nanny look in our final story of the days by chef 231 man gets car crushed
this story happened about 15 years ago the cast is me op female 5 foot 11 bob
friend store manager chief my boss an entitled jerk who lost his car ok
background i worked as a firefighter as an investigator for an independent
department for information an investigator was the rank of lieutenant
and was based out of a large station two
engines one newer 110 tower ladder truck relative later one chief car and one
utility truck every day the food duties changed from firefighter to firefighter
it was my chief's turn to cook when this
happened my friend bob worked as a gm of a small grocery store there was a long
empty space in front of the store marked with the following sign emergency
vehicles only enter entitled jerk he had
a nice looking bmw car and always parked in the above spot every week bob told
entitled jerk that he couldn't park there i can park wherever i freaking
want i make more in a day than you make in a week my friend calls me complaining
about entitled jerk i agree to go and watch the spot i get into our utility
truck which had the department decals on the door and a single red light on the
dash i park in the emergency vehicles only spot as i'm walking in i hear you
can't park there it's my special spot i turn and look at the entitled jerk
excuse me i ask i'm on official duties and can park there i point to the decal
on the door and title jerk looks and says you can't be a firefighter you're a
girl move your truck and leave runt now i'm proud of my job in a department of
2000 i was one of five women in the department i graduated top in my class i
have a shocked looking expression on my face i get really pissed off i walk into
my friend's office to get more information about his problem with
entitled jerk as bob explains the continuous parking violations and i see
a small notice on the fire suppression system sprinklers that said the
inspection was coming up i smile as i get an idea cue the revenge i get some
information leave bob's office and get into the truck heading back to the
station i arrive and head into my chief's office i tell him about entitled
jerk and what he said and does chief is a six foot six 320 pound samoan
he sees everyone as family chief's face gets bright red i explained my idea and
he gets very happy he rushes out and calls a station meeting i lay out my
idea we send out the station to do a fire drill and inspection by sending the
old truck and one engine to the store my friend will call the station the next
time entitled jerk parks in the fire lane skifted two weeks later bob called
the station stating that entitled jerk had just parked as i'm thanking him i
hear his fire alarm go off i rush and change into my investigator uniform with
turnout gear tell chief and send the trucks out i ride in the quint we arrive
and i see entitled jerk's car right in the emergency vehicle spot my radio to
have one engine pull right in front of the entitled jerk's car and the truck to
park right beside the driver's side door i get out and the engineer starts
setting up the ladder which means four very large and heavy support struts go
down and one crushes the front of his hood the alarm goes off the lineman
breaks his window as he runs the large five-inch draft line from the pump to
the standpipes the fire access to the sprinkler system through his front seats
i go in and find bob hurriedly getting people out as the alarm's going off
entitled jerk runs out of the store sees his car and goes ballistic i radio the
pd dispatch and request a few officers to the store as i had a mail impeding
the fire operation the dispatcher says that they'll send a few officers three
officers show up and i ask them to follow me they do when i call out hey
leave my firefighters alone entitled jerk turns and sees me he rushes up
screaming that i'll pay for damaging his precious baby his car i stop him and
tell him that if he didn't leave that he would be arrested he gets my face you
did this and i'll have your job for this he then turns pushing me back the
officers and i rush and tackle entitled jerk to the ground after they cuff him i
calmly inform him that he was under arrest for assault and interference with
a fire investigation and that his car would be towed for parking in a fire
lane i later found out that it was crushed entitled jerk got 12 months
probation for pushing me and interfering
with a fire operation he also got a fine of 500 for parking the cost of the tow
and he lost his nice bmw moral of the story don't park where you shouldn't or
bad things will happen i mean apparently this guy definitely had rich kid
syndrome they thought because they had money they were totally infallible
imagine being such a jerk that you park in the emergency lane or spot or whatnot
and even get to the point where a person from the fire department is there and
tells you not to do that and you just turn around and keep on doing it you say
it's oh it's my special spot it's no surprise that when an actual emergency
breaks out whether or not it was set up that surprise they're in the way and
they're going to be at fault and have some kind of at the lightest fine at the
worst some kind of actual charge against them and who knows if they were really
blocking the way and a real fire broke out maybe they would be partially
responsible for the response not being fast enough to save somebody who knows
but with that being said that's all the time we have for today now if you want
to see another revenge story that was even more insane than these ones click
on the left video or if you missed my latest video click on the right with
that said i'll see you all next time for some more stories | give me a good story on rProRevengeENTITLEDJERKGETSHISCARCRUSHEDRedditStoriesorig |

wibta if I kept my daughter's inheritance for my late husband I have
three kids M24 F18 and F14 my late husband died very unexpectedly four
years ago due to co he didn't have a will but we had a life insurance policy
that provided a $360,000 death benefit as his spouse I received the full amount
I decided to divide the money four ways I would get
$120,000 and each of my three kids would get $80,000 at the time my daughters
were both minors so I told them they could access their full amount when they
turned 18 however if they ever wanted to do something pricey I would allow them
to use some of their share most of their needs were taken care of by me my son
was over 18 so I gave him his share right away this Arrangement was a verbal
agreement and I intended to follow through with it fully recently however
my middle daughter we will call her Maya was arrested in December for child
endangerment because she severely neglected her little sister leading to
something awful happening under her care she had to use some of her $80,000 to
pay for lawyer and court fees which left her with about $65,000 fast forward to
today and my youngest daughter is still struggling significantly during her
checkups she scores very low on mental health evaluations and is on a high
dosage of anti-depressants | give me a good story on WIBTAifIkeptmydaughtersinheritancefrommylatehusband |

op's 29m fiance 28f of 4 years randomly claimed he abused her and called the
cops for a stupid thing I honestly don't know what happened a couple of days ago
my girlfriend who I lived with left our apartment while I was at work claimed to
her family and mutual friends that I'd been physically abusing her and blocked
me on everything I have no idea what's going on there weren't any major
problems in our relationship that I could see and we just had consensual SX
last night the very last time I spoke to her before all of this happened she was
perfectly fine kissed me goodbye before I went to work and everything was normal
then I got a call from my dad toward the end of the day asking me calmly if I'd
been hitting my girlfriend I didn't know what he was talking about and then she
told me I rushed home and she had gotten all of her stuff and is staying either
with her family or a friend of hers my Facebook account is blowing up and I
have no idea what to do none of what is being said is true and I don't know if
someone is just playing a cruel joke on me a few people even mentioned that the
police were called but I haven't heard anything as of yet the last major
argument we had was probably in February around Valentine's Day we were going
through some financial trouble the stress got to us and we were both
getting upset with each other over Petty household things she was my best friend
the person I could rely on to be there for me and the person I would be there
for always no matter what we were definitely planning on getting married
it wasn't a matter of if it was a matter of when her family had basically
accepted me into their family I was close with both her mom and her dad I
only called them both once each neither of them answered my calls I called my I
don't know X just twice no answer she blocked me on every social media
platform of hers that I know of I asked a couple of friends but they are being
distant with me just one word answers or
ghosting me what the f is happening here
we'd always been upfront and honest with each other and our communication was
Stellar tldr I guess my girlfriend decided she wasn't happy in the
relationship or something and instead of breaking up with me she left behind my
back completely out of the blue and claimed to everyone that I've been
physically abusing her I have no idea what's going on relevant comment what
was your reaction to this confusion then
Panic my heart started pounding at first it was difficult to think I wanted to
try to call her to see what was going on but when I found out she blocked me on
everything I've been walking around with a huge pit in my stomach how have your
family and your friends reacted to this as in how did the conversation with your
father go did he believe you what about your best male friend my dad calmly
asked me if I'd been hitting her I outright denied it he said are you sure
that made me upset only a couple of friends reached out most are sort of
staying out of it I had two friends say what the f were you thinking before I
tried to explain it to them over the past few hours they seemed to warm up
but I don't know other friends haven't really been saying anything
just distant or not responding much at all I don't really have a best friend
but the one person I would closest describe as such seems to believe me I
just said this is really messed up do you or your girlfriend have a history of
mental illness I don't as for her not that I know of I'm close with her family
and know a lot about her childhood serious mental illness sounds like a big
thing to cover up what are your theories on why this is happening one this is a
cruel joke two she just wanted to break up without having a conversation which
would have been fine there is no way I could have forced her to have a
conversation about it three someone convinced her that this was a good way
to cover up other things she wanted to do like steal credit cards this was
suggested by other redditors I don't really believe this what culture would
you self-identify you and your girlfriend as we are both culturally
American her family is Hispanic but they have been in the USA for three
generations Now update one okay so this is going to be a weird AR update I'm
sorry if you guys thought this was going
to be anything interesting a friend came forward and told me that apparently my
dumbar fiance decided to play a prank on me she had the bright idea of leaving
the house for a couple of days to set up
a surprise birthday party for me set for
this weekend I don't know what the f she was thinking nor do I even really know
the full story yet she is not really the
prank playing type and I guess I thought this would be hilarious or something it
looks like a majority of those friends who were acting distant were in on it
after I started being upfront and honest with showing people my text with her as
this sub suggested one of them told her that this wasn't cool and that if she
didn't come clean he would well she didn't come clean and he came forward I
guess that's why nobody was answering their texts anyway I texted her told her
that I knew and asked her what the f she was thinking she started blowing my
phone up apologizing she said her prank just went too far and spiraled out of
control when it got to social media and that she didn't know how to come clean
when she realized that it crossed a line she also said that she didn't mean to
let it come out that I was abusing her and that she just wanted to make it seem
like she left me and that the abuse stuff was a rumor started by some other
people who weren't in on her joke I just didn't really respond to her I left and
went to my parents house before she got back home my family now thinks she's a
effing [ __ ] so her relationship with
them was ruined right before our marriage so that's great our mutual
friends are now split in half with half of them thinking she's an idiot and the
other half feeling God knows what about the situation I'm frankly embarrassed
and feel stupid for wasting everyone's time and dragging them into my
relationship with my fiance I don't really know where to go from here I
don't know if I should call off the wedding or postpone it and try to work
out what the hell went through her mind I'm sorry if this isn't the ending to
the story you were all hoping for I'm having drinks and will be here all night
feeling sorry for myself and answering comments for as long as I'm awake with
this Jameson tldr this was actually just a stupid prank by my fianceé P also
specifies that the police were never called a mutual friend told him that his
fiance had called them final update so first thanks for all of your input I
read and considered every single reply first I'll update you and then I'll tie
up some loose ends from the comments in the previous post I want to apologize
for the bluntness of this post ahead of time because despite your comments about
me being calm and level-headed I'm actually quite upset about the entire
situation and I feel like sitting and thinking about it is only marinating
this anger and making it more juicy and flavorful update I spoke to her in
person after I posted my update from her perspective her original idea was to
make it look like she just got mad or something grabbed a few things and left
for her friend's house where she was going to have the party thrown her
friend has a really nice house that's perfect for a 2030 person get together
she was with her two friends and made an offthe cuff remark when her friend said
what are you going to say when he asks why and she said I don't know I'll
probably tell him that I feel like he got too serious when we had SX or
something like that then her other friend who was with her immediately took
it to social media without the other two
girls knowing and then when they checked their phones later on that day it was
already a dumpster fire I said great all
that is understandable just one question why did you then block me and then
refuse to answer my calls because that seemed pretty effing intentional to me
she said it because she didn't want to throw her idiot friend under the bus and
thought it would all go away if she just threw the party and she hadn't realized
how far it all went so quickly I thanked
her for telling me and then I called off the wedding entirely she cried and I
cried it was a godamn mess she asked where we go from here I told her I
didn't know I don't even know if the relationship is over yet but I know that
the engagement is over and that if I decide to give it another chance at the
bare minimum we need to build my trust for her from the ground up if not the
entire relationship and now I have to decide if I want that do I want to spend
another four years undecided if I'm being honest with myself I imagine it
taking another couple of years before I can trust her again do I want to get
married and start thinking about having children at 35 close to 40 I told her
that I had a lot to think about I spoke to her dad last night we shared a case
of beers and had a conversation that lasted about 5 hours my ex hasn't spoken
to anyone and has basically been locked up in her old bedroom for now she's been
crying a lot I do believe that she's genuinely remorseful about all of this
which complicates things her dad caught wind of the situation on Facebook but
learned what was really going on maybe an hour later he'd gotten my calls but
hadn't returned them because he called his daughter first she told him and he
just didn't know what to say to her he told me that she's not truly stupid but
that she has a history of sometimes not thinking about things before she says
them and the impact her off-hand remarks can have he said this is the worst it's
ever snowballed but she's had situations in the past where she says something
stupid or insulting and doesn't realize the impact of what she said until hours
later when the other person blows up over it so that's it I still have a lot
of things to think about I know a lot of you guys are telling me that I have no
balls for not literally tossing her out into traffic and laughing about it or
something weird like that but you have to understand that I still love her and
have loved her for a few years now right now I'm leaning toward Moving on but
you're going to have to empathize with me here as for my reputation nobody
thinks I'm an abuser it's firmly out there now her reputation took a much
more sign ific and Lasting hit I haven't lost any friends except for the idiot
social media girl whose reputation also took a severe hit nobody called the cops
all the other posts about it have been deleted everything is good there's no
real need for me to get a lawyer and Sue anyone my family agrees with a lot of
you they're two seconds away from slapping me upside the head for not
immediately kicking her to the curb just give me some time I'm not going to make
another update post because I've already wasted too much of your time with this
bull sht but maybe I'll just update this post in a few days after I've decided

my sister is disgusting and I will never
be able to look at her the same again a little backstory I 17f have a sister 15f
that I swear was created just to ruin my life after my first birthday my parents
decided to have another kid so that I wouldn't get lonely by myself 9 months
later my sister and I'm just going to say yes instead of an initial for her
because she will be found out one day was born as a spawn of Satan she was
born shrieking and continues to when she doesn't get her way the earliest member
I have of her is her trying to pull my hair out as she was a baby while I was
watching Mickey Mouse at my Nan's she would have constant tantrums and if I
didn't do what she liked she would get violent my parents tried so many ways to
try and discipline her and teach her but she never ever learned her lesson she
constantly broke things and lied so much
that at one point my parents gave up she was always the victim because I Am The
Golden Child because i' behave and learn from my mistakes she is my hell and yet
I cared for her every time she got yelled that and cried I felt bad and
tried to appease to her she later took it as a way to manipulate me more and my
parents had to show me that I do not have to just drop everything for her
whenever she got physical as a kid I would try to make her happier the next
day eventually my parents convinced her to stop and for a good few years I was
freed of the physical violence the majority of people get a second chance
my sister has had more than anyone should give from me as soon as she got
hormonal she would instill Jabs at everyone with her words and whenever you
give her a taste of her own medicine she acts like you've told her to kill
herself that is just a summary of what my childhood was like with her and yet I
loved her about a week ago I was on my iPad before work just relaxing in bed
and I left it there when I left when I got home I couldn't find it my room is a
bit messy so I cleaned up and searched everywhere for it for the next couple of
days but I couldn't find it anywhere I asked Dad and he had no idea and I knew
mom hadn't stolen it because she would have said something so I asked asked my
sister she immediately smirked and I knew it was her but she excused it as
the last time I lost my iPad I accused her and it was down the side of my bed I
checked in her room but couldn't find it mostly because her room is just filled
with filth my best friend has been helping me but we had no idea until
tonight I came home from work and my sister is at Nan's while my parents are
out for a bit so I went to shut all the doors to other bedrooms when I noticed
her headset had its cord tucking in her blankets I checked in her bed again and
then it was hidden badly under her blanket I was so excited and then
annoyed I took a photo and sent it to her saying that I wasn't dumb and then
went to check what she had done as she knows my password at first I saw that
she had just downloaded timu and was thankfully on her own account but then I
opened up Safari and immediately a porn website popped up and I quickly deleted
the tab I checked the history but she had used the private searching browser
so the only things were of her Discord chats with her BF that I couldn't see in
random Youtube videos I then saw that chai was a recently used app and opened
it and checked the chats and I feel like I am going insane I sometimes use chai
only for your basic big strong man and little woman Trope because I deem it
funny to reread I'm a lesbian but the things I saw she had used made me just
stop completely I deleted my chats before screenshotting hers just in case
I need to show my parents one day because I haven't really had that talk
with my parents and Mom saw my character AI chats one time and just acted like
nothing so it's clearly a nogo and look I don't really care too much like if I
use stuff like this I cannot judge but I'll attach the screenshot and you'll
see it's not okay even as a joke the chat she had in our circumstances makes
me scared the dog one look some people Are furies I whatever I think there's a
better word for it but it's not a zoophile when something is humanoid I
don't really care but that's a dog a fullet dog labeled for zoophiles and the
thing is we have a lot of animals I'm talking cats chicken a bunny and we did
used to have dogs but thankfully they were rehomed so hopefully nothing
happened to them in our care and the more concerning one I'd be less induced
to throw up if she was using a stepfather 1 as a joke but it says clear
as day Dad I want to cry because my dad is amazing he is a great dad that loves
us and while he can have anger issues I love him dearly not once ever has he
ever made any that sort of implication to us he walked in on me getting changed
accidentally when I was like 9 10 and that's me just taking my top off and now
he knocks and knocks with his head to make sure you know it's him and waits
for you to say yeah he makes at least a dad joke a day and the fact that my
sister could see him that way it's keeping me from sleeping I am genuinely
losing my mind as I have no idea what to do I canot say anything I already told
my best friend but how am I supposed to what keep it a secret for her no I told
her I won't tell our parents and deleted
the chats but I have everything I've got screenshotted and backed up because she
is not just going to steal this again and delete them I don't know what to do
she comes home Friday and how am I supposed to trust her my poor cat he
can't be around her and my dad how do I look at him the same way how do I act
normal when my sister belongs in a mental institute I don't know what to do
and I am losing my mind please I just need help | give me a good story on MysisterisdisgustingandIwillneverbeabletolookatherthesameagainAlittlebackstoryorig |

what made the popular kid at school the unpopular kid in elementary school
popularity was already sort of a nebulous concept but one boy got pantsed
at recess and was found to be wearing diapers pretty sure he was Inc continent
which has got to be a rough freaking Road for a little kid especially since
he didn't seem to have any other noticeable disabilities the full story
so this was in the late '90s maybe 1998 or 99 and we were in second grade this
kid we'll just call him Timmy was pretty well liked he was a nice kid and got
along with everyone pretty well and for whatever reason the boys of my class
were comparing undies on the playground like oh I got Scooby-Doo or I got
spaceships or whatever why couldn't tell you little kids are freaking weird so
Timmy was the hold out of the group wouldn't tug down his pants to show what
Prince he had he got accused of having girly underwear and one thing led to
another culminating and a couple of boys grabbing him and pulling down his pants
and boom wasn't what anyone else was expecting didn't have girly undies he
just had on a big old diaper in Hinds sign it made a lot of things make sense
he had cart blanch to leave class to the
nurse he wore baggy pants and every once
in a while the classroom stank something fierce he got teased pretty badly that
day and for a while afterwards though people eventually mellowed out about it
once it was no longer the new thing the story doesn't end there though this was
one of the earliest moments in my life that I understood what empathy was one
of my biggest childhood nightmares got presented right in front front of me I
was a bed wetter from the ages of 3 to around 13 and not just occasionally but
like every single night so for most of that time I had to wear something
similar every night I was terrified that
someone would find out and my life would be over I was already a little socially
Outcast because I was an odd kid which only magnified my fears to my shame I
made fun of Timmy that day and several days after I'd call him names or tug at
his waistband or whatever it wasn't until I mentioned to my mom about him
that I got an earful and a reminder that I had to wear the same thing at night
that stuck with me and not much later than that I apologized to him and
instead tried to befriend him I didn't have a lot of friends and he had lost a
lot of his funnily enough I guess seven-year-olds don't have a strong
sense of loyalty we were pretty good friends throughout Elementary School I
told him my own secret to make him feel better and I think it did though I'm
sure he was pretty pissed since I was such a jerk about it at first he was the
only friend I felt completely comfortable having sleepovers with due
to our Collective shame he moved away the first year of middle school which
was a bummer and we didn't really reconnect at all until early High School
where we talked online he never told me the exact reason that he had to wear
them or if he did I don't remember but it really seemed like he just couldn't
control his bladder or bowels at all so maybe he was incontinent due to a nerve
injury or something I don't know but that's pretty much the Guist of it it
seriously impacted his social life but things certainly got better as people
moved on if anyone has any questions I could try to answer but I think I laid
out as much as I could remember of something from like over 20 years ago
Dude kids any day will find anything to make fun of story two I went to school
from fourth grade to high school with a kid my age whose father was a prominent
City official in our town even though we
lived only a few blocks from one another we were in different worlds my
background was much more blue collar and unfortunately I lived in an alcoholic
and physical cruel household for these and other reasons I never understood his
mother despised me and she wanted her son to have nothing to do with me she
actually called my mother once to suggest that she keep me away from her
son since our class in life was so very different I found him smart and funny
and fascinating and we paed around he wore slacks while I wore jeans and his
suede shoes were much better than my sneakers by our high school years he was
a football Letterman while I was a Band Geek and he was in college prep while I
took vocation courses we still knew each other but he was in a college track and
I was living day by day as graduation approached we learned that his parents
had worked with a local Congressman for his appointment to West Point wow
tragically the night of graduation he and his girlfriend went out with him
driving hammered on a country road he hit an oak tree and she was gone that's
the last I ever heard of him but once in
a while I Google his name just to see if he might surface somewhere I sometimes
think of how mortified his status conscious mother must have felt felt and
wonderful about his girlfriend's family and of course what happened to my friend
who ended someone just before his life began I wish him well over 40 years
later I'm just not sure what happens when life seems to be laid out before
you with concrete expectations and it all goes so tragically wrong in the
blink of an eye Story three a somewhat more light-hearted one we had a kid I'll
called Dan who was incredibly popular because he played football came from a
wealthy is family and had a whole bunch of girlfriends he was quite
stereotypically a straight kid who liked
manly things and was academically gifted but was never a bully he was popular
because of a combination of these things when we came back from summer holidays
in year 10 Dan had totally changed long emo hair eyeliner slouched when he
walked listened to metal gave up football came out as by and dated
another male student nobody could quite decide what to make of it and because we
were teens it made our class uncomfortable so sadly for about six
months Dan was pretty much a non-person then one day something just gave and we
realized Dan was still the person he was before and we were the ones being
a-holes he never quite became the popular kid again but everyone at school
went back to liking him and he had a large Social Circle stayed at our school
right through six form and graduated with excellent marks I have no idea what
happened to him after school and looking back such a sudden personality shift
should maybe have rung some alarm Bells but I do think about him from time to
time I was an unpopular bullied kid but he was never mean to me good on you guys
for actually having these self-reflection to realize it was on you
that really takes something as teenagers story four she called the exchange
student a peasant this was 10 years ago when I was in year 12 and for some
reason we had a bunch of exchange students in the midst of everyone dating
and partying and I wouldn't know I was doing work anyway the popular girls were
a group of maybe 10 girls that were human rakes with platinum or chocolate
dyed hair and a fascination with designer Brands they had cars too
because I remember them driving past me at a bus stop screaming at me to die so
basically a hot Swiss girl shows up and the pettiest of them all didn't like her
having the popular guys like her and being a polite guest Etc Apparently one
day this happened in cafs community and family studies class the popular girl in
question shows up on a Monday and no one
is talking to her or sitting next to her so I asked someone so on the prior
weekend they were having a house party and caly a popular girl started texting
people that she'd stolen her parents' credit card to buy a dress to wear for
about $300 then showed up and had called the girl a peasant for not having a
wardrobe of clothes to wear to their blowout party there were rumors that she
slept around for cash did tricks that her friends were extorting her for cash
we graduated 4 months later only a few people spoke to her and she was smashed
at the formal and most of them had have gone off to work in real estate Story
five I swam competitively through high school but just wasn't quite good enough
to continue in college but to stay connected to Aquatics I became a
lifeguard and swim instructor for our University pool and other their school
and community events many of the swimmers and water polo players were
lifeguards SL instructors themselves on the off Seasons our head guard was the
polo team's bmoc he was a beast in the pool he was cool witty handsome the
whole shebang we'll call him Steve anyway we get to work one morning and
our big boss was out of his office already a rare occurrence and called us
all together I arrived a little late so I only caught the end where he kept
saying no one talk about Steve in front of the guests I don't even want to hear
his name once we split to start the day I was trying to find out what happened
someone pulled out their phone and there he was Steve's mug shot after being
arrested turns out he had a part-time job as a high school coach and you can
complete the picture I never seen someone disappear so fast his name was
removed from team rosters media promotionals his position as a guard
vacated and refilled etc etc it was a weird time story six he got into legal
trouble because he and his team embezzled and misused about
$250,000 worth from the Student Union the university kicked him out stopped
paying the annual 2 mil to the Student Union withhold funds although that was
later overruled by the courts and revoked the Privileges granted to the
Student Union earlier this year they stay stated that they and students have
no affiliation to the Student Union after one year of negotiations his team
was still running the Student Union because they were reelected they bought
votes by offering pancakes waffles and donuts for those who vote for their
party and had Street volunteers that would pressure students to vote for the
party it actually led to a law being passed in Ontario that prevented
universities from forcing students to pay non-mandatory fees the Scandal was
revealed by a student party called the Rhino party back in December 2018
January and February heads started rolling and law and accounting firms
started getting involved to figure out how much was spent it was rumored the
figure was anywhere from 100 to 900,000 Ontario Provincial lawmakers passed a
law in the summer of 2018 starting fall 2019 I had the choice whether I wanted
to pay auxiliary fees to support the student newspaper NOS that operated in
the school support the Student Union Etc that provincial law was recently
overturned by the courts this year so starting next fall I am forced to pay
fees associated with groups that I don't support he went from being popular to
being a school meme there's actually a lot of bank statements available that
showcase what they bought they were reelected damn IDK I'm just so focused
on the sentence where they bought votes by offering pancakes waffles and donuts
I need one of those right now and if you're constantly hungry like me don't
forget to hit that like button and subscribe to my channel if anything I've
got more stories to give to you story seven a popular guy in my year pissed
himself during an exam in or gym Hall unfortunately for him the biggest a-hole
in our year was sitting directly behind him he immediately stood up and yelled
PE pissed himself he proceeded to get te eyed and say it's my energy drink it's
spilled over and over before the exam supervisor literally dragged him out of
the hall two weeks later he returned to school the unpopular kid and kept a low
profile for a while until it eventually died down and he climbed the social
ranks once more that is until an episode of the betweeners a popular TV show in
the UK aired in which one of the main characters pooped himself in the exam
Hall and it reminded everyone of what happened effectively nuking his
popularity all over again story eight there was one kid in my class who was
the son of a math teacher he was crazy popular because he was able to help
everyone out with their homework for that class turns out he was actually
snooping through his dad's notes to get answers the teacher naturally got super
suspicious after a while so he deliberately made a fake answer sheet of
course the kid grabbed it and noted it all down it was full of wrong answers so
blatant that anyone who even slightly paid attention in class would know they
were way off base the kid handed out the answers anyway and in an instant made
about half the class bomb and his popularity dropped like a rock as they
all accused him of deliberately making them fail they moved him to another
class and they never had an incident of cheating again story nine there was a
really pretty girl that was quite popular in my high school school she was
a bit snobby to people and sort of rude I recall one time she threw a textbook
at my gr because I was leaning back in my desk and thought it was funny I guess
it kind of was thinking back she also liked to make fun of the fact that I was
Mexican on more than one occasion anyway
she gained significant weight our junior
senior year in high school and I guess a lot of the popular kids decided to
disown her for it I never actually heard anything but I recall her sitting all
alone at lunch one day not my best moment but I walked by her pointed and
plainly said you are in this story 10 when I was in Primary School the popular
kid thought it would be funny to flush the class pet a hamster called nibbles
down the toilet all the kids thought the hamster would have passed he quickly
became known as a kid who ended a hamster he ended up changing schools for
another reason BTW the hamster survived I don't know how pipes work but I heard
the caretaker eventually found him the school still gave nibbles away after
that if you were wondering about the kid he had had ADHD or something like that
he was transferred to a school that specializes in kids with behavioral
problems he has a stable job as a bookmaker but that's all I know about
him also although we were told nibbles survived we never saw him again all we
know is that he was given away to a random family there is a possibility the
teacher made that up as another redditor pointed out and nibbles actually did
perish and they just didn't want to upset us story 11 she got pregnant and
the father could have been one of two guys both of whom were boyfriends over
her close friends and neither of whom wanted anything more to do with her my
school actually had really good education and when you about
contraception from the age of about 11 plus this was the UK where contraception
is free and easy to get so she couldn't blame ignorance or lack of resources she
tried for the wo is me act and nobody wanted to be around her anymore since a
lot of people are talking about double standards I'll add that both potential
fathers were also ostracized after that they cheated on their girlfriends both
of whom were well-liked and had been stupid enough to not even use
contraception when they also couldn't plead ignorance or lack of access as for
the girl in question she wasn't ostracized for being intimate or even
for being pregnant really the primary reason was that she'd slept with her
closest friends as boyfriends and again not even use Protection Plus when she
went around looking for sympathy afterwards rather than just accepting
that she'd done something wrong that made it so much more worse she tried to
claim it was all her friends's fault for being bad girlfriends and if they
weren't their boyfriends wouldn't have been interested in her well the two
potential fathers were responsible as much as her story 12 stopped coming to
school didn't even do her exams in the end just sat at home and smoked grass
all the time didn't even work she just got boyfriends who would pay for
everything for her became quote unquote spiritual got the Hindu symbol um
tattooed on her finger got dreadlocks Etc posted weird photos on her instagam
it's hard to explain but she just sort of became weird I once heard her talking
to a bunch of 13-year-olds about how her boyfriend just got out of prison she
also always spoke about wanting to have a baby this grass smoking non-working
18-year-old girl wanted a child in the end nobody in my school even spoke to
her anymore even if her friends didn't like her much because she was sort of a
witch she was popular because she was super pretty and smart it's sad she
obviously had no direction in her life her only qualifications or the exams we
did when we were 15 her brother and sister were still in the school they
were really nice and basically the opposite to her I hope they do well
story 13 he punched a girl in year 10 of secondary school a girl spent months
being physically cruel to him slapping him kicking him punching him throwing
things at him while screaming at him sometimes even in the middle of the
class but no one would do anything about it not even the teachers his little
sister passed so I guess he just wasn't going to deal with anything she swung at
him he dodged and got her good with a right hook knocked her to the ground in
one bit she started crying and Howling three teachers pinned this guy down to
the ground didn't matter what he was going through how hard his life had been
as soon as he swung back at his offender he was outcasted from all of his friend
groups at school he eventually transferred out of course but not after
he went through a complete social phasing nothing happened to the girl
after either everyone saw her as a victim after all all so nothing was done
about it some people knew she was the one in the wrong but anyone that spoke
out about it got the same treatment as the lad did story 14 that was me my
grades got bad in fourth grade so my mom came to school with me all week and sat
next to me all day every day in an attempt to scare me into improving them
after that week all my friends changed nobody I was friends with wanted to play
during recess they all thought my mom was crazy after that so they stopped
coming over after school to play I got teased for until sixth grade started by
my former friends anytime I'd try to make friends with a new kid they'd be
friendly at first but eventually just join in on the teasing and thinking I
was weird but I did make new friends eventually and people did leave me alone
and we all moved on I don't hold grudges on a bunch of kids about it whatever it
was weird in high school seeing all the things my old friends were getting up to
while I was too busy skipping out and getting baked with my friends at the
time they all knew my mom was crazy that's fixed it's far from normal
behavior though right story 15 we had this one guy in high school who people
generally liked but over time became this complete loser he was aspiring to
be a pilot and always talked about he and his dad how they would fly together
on weekends for the most part though he was a pretty cool kid and then High
School hit during high school he became this complete sociopathic loser who did
everything he could try and come off as cool he got into bikes and would always
come to school decked out in biker gear fair enough if he didn't walk around
with his chest puffed out and a bike helmet in his left hand he was very
obviously trying to seem like a baddy but nobody took him seriously because he
was a joke he always acted super pretentious around people talking like
he knew everything about cars and bikes but every car mechanic in our school
knew he was full of crap our school had this video production program where
every Friday we would broadcast an episode of skits we worked on over the
week apparently one week this kid hijacked the entire program just to put
a 4-minute montage of him driving around the school parking lot on his bike he
struggled to keep jobs because he for some reason thought it was cool to get
fired with a bang one job in particular he got fired for eating ice cream
topping with a spoon in front of customers he did dumb crap like this
nine times in one year and still thought he was being funny despite destroying
his reputation last thing I remember is him losing it and dropping out senior
year and moving to Nashville to live in this guy's garage he currently works as
a prison guard and I genuinely fear for his life I hope you enjoyed the video
and all the crazy stories in it and if you made it this far I'm sure you're
also going to enjoy people who ran into the weird kid from school years later
how did they turn out Story 2 will surprise you surprise me I'll see you in
that video and thank you for watching this one | give me a good story on WhatMadeThePOPULARKidHated |

:00.160 --> :04.440
today we have a great Revenge story against a
roommate that tore up an apartment and refused
:04.440 --> :11.280
to pay for any of the fees we'll get into that in
a bit but first dad made a mistake 17 years ago
:11.280 --> :17.360
mom still won't let it go this is so funny and
I heard this story from Mom at least 20 times
:17.360 --> :23.280
never gets old for context we're a Muslim family
quite the conservative one and coming from a very
:23.280 --> :29.960
conservative Village modesty is very strictly
practiced by us and clear boundary is put between
:29.960 --> :35.640
between men and women flirting is heavily frowned
upon this took place in Saudi Arabia which was
:35.640 --> :42.440
also a super strictly conservative country at that
time to the story mom and dad had my sister me and
:42.440 --> :48.640
my younger brother 5 three and two respectively
at that time my mom was also heavily pregnant plus
:48.640 --> :54.520
had a tumor in her left leg we were all at a mall
shopping mom due to her tumor and pregnancy was
:54.520 --> :00.680
walking like a seal her own description as if she
was tripping over herself mean meanwhile at a mall
:00.680 --> :06.800
full of women dressed in black head to toe even
faces covered one woman stood out she came walking
:06.800 --> :12.800
from the opposite side slowly getting closer to
us she had her Abaya unbuttoned SL unzipped she
:12.800 --> :18.240
wore under it a legging that defined her legs wore
stilettos that made loud clicking sounds as she
:18.240 --> :23.440
took each step her hands nicely decorated with
bracelets that created their own nice Melodies
:23.440 --> :29.480 she really stood out not shaming anyone here
Dad suddenly started singing a song in Arabic
:29.480 --> :35.600
that trans translates to she walks like a deer
the Walk of a maiden which considering my mom's
:35.600 --> :42.640
condition was definitely not directed to my mom
mom stopped and turned to him exclaiming excuse me
:42.640 --> :49.200
and Dad immediately got defensive it just slipped
out mom said that means it was exactly what you
:49.200 --> :55.280
were thinking dad acts like the victim and tells
mom he's never taking her to the mall again mom
:55.280 --> :59.680 obviously mad tells him he sounds ridiculous
because he's the one flirting with woman while
:59.680 --> :05.000
his kids and pregnant wife walked right beside him
and then vows to let the whole world know a few
:05.000 --> :10.200
days later we traveled back to our home country as
I said we come from a village and the word travels
:10.200 --> :16.600
fast mom told everyone again I repeat flirting
is considered really rude and is heavily frowned
:16.600 --> :22.880
upon in our society at that time and for the next
two months whoever saw my dad would start singing
:22.880 --> :28.960
she walks like a deer the Walk of a maiden dad
was embarrassed and humiliated as heck we moved
:28.960 --> :33.560
back to Saudi Arab my dad was friends with his
co-workers and their wives were friends with my
:33.560 --> :40.480
mom mom told them 2 months ago and proceeds to
narrate the story the wives went home and told
:40.480 --> :46.400
their husbands the next day Dad goes to work and
the moment he opens the door his co-workers seeing
:46.400 --> :53.080
she walks like a deer the Walk of a maiden dad
immediately calls mom please stop telling everyone
:53.080 --> :59.760
and Mom vows again she'll humiliate him over it
17 years later every time she meets someone new
:59.760 --> :05.920
knew this story is a must say might not sound like
much but in our society this is actually pretty
:05.920 --> :11.600
humiliating for my dad very funny for us though
never got old listen it's human sometimes to
:11.600 --> :16.080
see somebody whether you're in a relationship or
not where you see them and you just start singing
:16.080 --> :22.000
songs in your head but you never make the mistake
of saying it out loud and you definitely don't act
:22.000 --> :28.720
on it this guy committed the cardinal sin in his
relationship and he's paying for the last 17 years
:28.720 --> :34.320
also hi I'm Steven and if you guys enjoy awesome
stories of Revenge why not hit those like And
:34.320 --> :39.920
subscribe buttons down below that said our next
story is my teenage self took Petty revenge on
:39.920 --> :46.120
a work placement bully when I was 16 I took place
in a two-e work placement scheme at a beauty salon
:46.120 --> :51.440
the bully in question was an adult woman we will
call Karen who instead of providing opportunities
:51.440 --> :57.360
to learn about the beauty industry instructed me
to deep clean the salon and take appointments I
:57.360 --> :02.520
figured you have to start somewhere and while I
I was disappointed I was young and keen and did
:02.520 --> :07.800
as I was asked the problem was that Karen would
exclude me from staff breaks and regularly cut my
:07.800 --> :13.320
lunch hour to 20 minutes just as I was leaving
to get lunch I also heard her twice doing an
:13.320 --> :19.240
impression of me to other staff members I would
go home crying and blame myself on my last day
:19.240 --> :23.280
someone canceled their appointment with Karen at
the last minute they were supposed to be getting
:23.280 --> :28.680 a hair cut and die which took approximately
2 hours better still the appointment had been
:28.680 --> :34.280
booked towards the end of the day the salon would
stay open past closing time for regular customers
:34.280 --> :39.320
I decided not to tell Karen I sat at the desk and
watched as she became more and more frustrated
:39.320 --> :44.160 by the lateness of her appointment pacing up
and down in frustration like a caged beast and
:44.160 --> :49.600
cursing the client she was still spitting Venom as
I left and I went home feeling pretty good about
:49.600 --> :56.240
myself for the first time in 2 weeks listen you
already have to be pretty sad as a person to be
:56.240 --> :02.000
middle-aged and beefing with teenagers working
their first job I mean you're almost asking for
:02.000 --> :08.080
this teenager to find something to just ruin your
day if you're that worried about beefing with them
:08.080 --> :13.160
they're young and they got a spark of life in
them and you most likely don't our next story
:13.160 --> :18.360
is a girl tried to frame my friend so he turned
the barrel against her I have an Indian friend
:18.360 --> :23.640
Raj 27-year-old male before moving to the US he
had a group of friends and they went on a trip
:23.640 --> :30.320
together along with two other friends in a couple
Mary and John nrn Mary Hindu was was from a very
:30.320 --> :35.800
conservative family who could not marry or date
outside of her religion and cast and John was a
:35.800 --> :41.160
Christian and had many registered cases of assault
against him her family saw the photo we took on
:41.160 --> :46.240
that trip and were Furious but they didn't know
who she was in a relationship with she lied and
:46.240 --> :52.120
said Raj's name her family did a background check
on Raj and liked him a lot Raj went along with it
:52.120 --> :57.480
as Mary said she'll tell him the truth soon a few
days passed and Mary's cousin's sister called Raj
:57.480 --> :02.080
and alerted him that Mary was planning to run run
away with JN and Mary's parents would think she
:02.080 --> :07.840
ran away with Raj and they would come after him so
he immediately collected everything he had on her
:07.840 --> :14.400
Mary and John's pictures Mary's past relationship
Etc and a pen drive and went to Mary's house and
:14.400 --> :19.960
showed them everything and told them how she was
planning to run away and frame him he cut off all
:19.960 --> :25.480
communication with them and didn't even know what
happened after he dropped that grenade edit I want
:25.480 --> :31.000
to address some questions from the comments when
I said assault charges I meant he was arrested
:31.000 --> :37.840
for assaulting not Mary as far as raj told me and
fights and granted bail I honestly didn't imagine
:37.840 --> :43.000
that the situation for Raj could have been so
much worse and I believe neither did he after
:43.000 --> :47.720
reading the comments here it looks like Raj's life
could have been in trouble I mean if she planned
:47.720 --> :55.600
to run away and all signs pointed to running away
with Raj and all of a sudden she's gone Raj isn't
:55.600 --> :00.560
I guess it probably would look very suspicious
and hey you don't want to get wrapped up in that
:00.560 --> :06.840
right our next story is ask for my parking spot
I'll stay here a while longer I was driving down
:06.840 --> :12.800
a busy road at 900 p.m. and needed to pull over to
fix my car's Bluetooth there's a tiny space at the
:12.800 --> :18.680
end of a line of parked cars so I pull over there
a white box outlines the area to park I start to
:18.680 --> :25.000
fix my Bluetooth and a minute later a man comes
to my window and knocks as I roll it down he says
:25.000 --> :31.800
can I park where you're parking I stare at him and
say no I'm parked here the guy Huffs and says he's
:31.800 --> :36.280
going to the pub and then states that my tires
are on the white line when I tell him that that
:36.280 --> :43.400
space isn't that big he says I assure you my car
will fit right but I'm parked here he then starts
:43.400 --> :50.520
saying I'll get a ticket and that he needs to
park in my spot I replied I'll take that risk and
:50.520 --> :56.480
rolled up my window the guy goes back to his car
and sits there waiting for me to move but I'm not
:56.480 --> :02.320
about to let him have it after being so entitled
I got out my car smiled at him and then walked to
:02.320 --> :08.240
the local takeaway and had a lovely Sittin meal
by the window and in full view of both of our
:08.240 --> :15.200
cars He waited 30 minutes before angrily revving
his engine and speeding off I later saw he parked
:15.200 --> :20.800
on some double yellow lines oh I do hope he got
a ticket listen although they probably would have
:20.800 --> :25.240
been gone by the time that they got there you
should have called the non-emergency line and
:25.240 --> :30.040
reported it maybe you know take a photo ask if
you could send it anywhere that would be great
:30.040 --> :34.240
just a little cherry on top even though you're
not going to stick around to see if it happens
:34.240 --> :41.280
our next story is Tiny Petty workplace Revenge no
idea what to actually title this but me anyways
:41.280 --> :47.240
I used to have a retail job in a kid shop that
sells things like fidgets slime stationary and
:47.240 --> :54.560
school supplies while there another staff member
was just a pain and a bully she's the reason
:54.560 --> :00.000
most of the staff quit that and upper management
refusal to do anything to despite working in the
:00.000 --> :06.520
store she does she can't stand loud noise or big
mess I now work in a women's fashion store that's
:06.520 --> :12.000
immediately across from the other store anytime a
family comes in and the kids get a little Restless
:12.000 --> :16.200
I tell Dad to take the kids over to the other
store they've got a lots of cool stuff for the
:16.200 --> :21.760
kids to play with it's actually encouraged if
it's opened you can play with it I have caught
:21.760 --> :28.760
her CBF a few times after the family returns to my
store where Mom has had a lovely peaceful shopping
:28.760 --> :35.400
experience ience and the bully has to deal with
the screaming running and mess the kids leave
:35.400 --> :41.640
it's small and Petty but I love it honestly what
I like about this is it comes with the territory
:41.640 --> :47.360
right I mean she can't complain she's working
at a place that's literally like exactly for
:47.360 --> :52.800
those kinds of people that is the clientele that
would come into that store just unleashing the
:52.800 --> :00.960
most ethical child tornado on this bully our next
story is landlords from hex I 20-year-old male at
:00.960 --> :06.520
the time and two roommates both 20-year-old male
rented a house near the college we attended the
:06.520 --> :11.080
house was owned by a couple in their 50s they
had left some furniture and some bookcases in
:11.080 --> :16.760
the house they said belonged to former tenants
and we could use them when we moved in we had no
:16.760 --> :24.000
idea how nuts these people were but we stayed for
nearly 4 years now we were three dudes in College
:24.000 --> :29.280
of course we left our Mark in that house however
we all grew up with excellent parents who taught
:29.280 --> :33.440 us responsibility and we made sure to deep
clean the heck out of that place for three
:33.440 --> :38.800
straight days we then hired a carpet cleaning
company to professionally clean the carpets it
:38.800 --> :45.320
was spotless we also tossed a few of the leftover
Furniture because over time it had busted or been
:45.320 --> :51.320
worned to crap but other than maybe some paint
a pair of blinds a broken sprinkler head and
:51.320 --> :56.480
oil stains on the garage floor it looked like it
did when we moved in they arrive for the walkth
:56.480 --> :02.200
through and the woman loses her mind with rage
apparently the furniture was not left behind by
:02.200 --> :08.160
former tenants but pieces made by her father in
the 50s this house is the house she grew up in
:08.160 --> :14.120
apparently she cursed us out for what felt like
hours we spent the next week tracking down the
:14.120 --> :19.040
discarded items actually getting nearly all of
them back from the city's dump seriously don't
:19.040 --> :24.120
ask how we did it because it was nothing short of
a Christmas miracle the only things we couldn't
:24.120 --> :30.480
get back were some customade pillow cushions we
returned the items and waiting the dreaded deposit
:30.480 --> :36.760
decision after 30 days pass we reach out to find
out how much of the deposit we'll be getting back
:36.760 --> :42.040
the man says he's still fixing things up around
the house and we'll get back to us soon another
:42.040 --> :48.600
30 days pass ask again he says it's taking longer
because he's doing it all himself but he'll get to
:48.600 --> :55.000
it another 30 days pass says he's almost done at
this point one of our parents tell us the window
:55.000 --> :00.240
for this is closed he owes us our full deposit
and to take the them to small claims court so
:00.240 --> :06.480
they couldn't string us along any further they
show up only they're putting on a show these two
:06.480 --> :13.160
very healthy very capable people walk in court
like they're on their last legs the man uses a
:13.160 --> :20.280
cane and now has to hunch to walk the woman uses
a walker she doesn't need and her voice quivers
:20.280 --> :26.480 as she talks to the judge the acting display
they put on was actually incredible we sued
:26.480 --> :35.040
them for our $1,800 deposit they counter suit us
for $10,000 in Damages they claim we destroyed
:35.040 --> :41.200
the home and basically had to replace floors and
walls and fixtures that were never damaged also
:41.200 --> :48.840
part of it is $900 for the cushions we threw out
the judge buys all of it learing at us telling
:48.840 --> :55.560
us how irresponsible we are even before we get to
present our side of evidence and how sorry he is
:55.560 --> :02.400
for the couple that they have to go through this
we win our $1,800 but only because it's literally
:02.400 --> :10.920
the law but we were also ordered to pay them the
full $1,000 yikes thinking we're screwed we wise
:10.920 --> :16.800
up and go get a lawyer who appeals the decision we
roll up into court with our cool lawyer and they
:16.800 --> :23.760
thinking it would be just us again arrive lawyer
lless with only their old and feeble charade our
:23.760 --> :30.240 lawyer tears them apart this new judge isn't
buying their nonsense this time keeps calling
:30.240 --> :36.440
them out on their inconsistencies and lies appeals
decision comes back we still get our full deposit
:36.440 --> :43.920
back and we only owe them $263 in Damages when
we go to pay our side of the judgment to them
:43.920 --> :50.240
our lawyer tells us not to pay them at all to
get their money they'd have to sue us again for
:50.240 --> :57.040
not paying and would spend way more than $263
after receiving their check for our deposit
:57.040 --> :01.920
we take some of the money purchase L typed out
Court transcripts of them getting shredded in
:01.920 --> :07.040
a courtroom put them in an envelope and mail it
over to them with a note that reads Thanks for
:07.040 --> :14.840
the Memories I mean if I were an op's position I
probably would still want to pay that $263 I mean
:14.840 --> :20.560
I get it was advice from a literal lawyer but
still I wouldn't want to ever just somehow end
:20.560 --> :29.000
up on the hook for not pay a court ordered $263
our next story is I am that neighbor the one who
:29.000 --> :34.960
everyone else watches to see what color bin to
put out where I live you put out two bins each
:34.960 --> :42.640
week the general waste bin and a recycle bin and
green waste bin on Alternate weeks for some reason
:42.640 --> :48.720
other people have difficulty in remembering what
week it is and copy me so that they get it right
:48.720 --> :55.000
a while ago one of my neighbors really annoyed me
so I deliberately put the wrong bin out early she
:55.000 --> :00.560
copies me and then disappeared for a long weekend
away i't then changed the bin over so everyone
:00.560 --> :08.120
else put the right bin out she came back to a full
and very smelly bin she'd stuck Frozen prawn heads
:08.120 --> :12.560
in there thinking that they would be collected
the next day she had to deal with the smell in
:12.560 --> :18.640
her yard as the council here takes a very dim view
of people who leave their bins full on the verge
:18.640 --> :24.280
to be honest I was just hoping to get her to have
a full bin for 2 weeks the rest was just icing on
:24.280 --> :31.080
the cake not sorry at all some would say that I
live in a organized chaos but one thing I always
:31.080 --> :37.360
have on track is the trash cycle one of the things
that can really make you feel like a screw-up is
:37.360 --> :44.360
having to deal with a full trash bin for an extra
week our next story is incidental Petty Revenge
:44.360 --> :49.600
ended bad roommate issues for good this happened
to me quite some time ago when I was sharing a
:49.600 --> :54.440
small two-bedroom house with another guy from
college the house was divided into two bedroom
:54.440 --> :00.160
SLB areas with a living room and a kitchen in
between we shared these spaces without issue for
:00.160 --> :06.960
about 2 years we didn't have problems with food
storage food sharing Etc it really was a good
:06.960 --> :12.000
living Arrangement because we both just worked and
went to our classes and played video games on the
:12.000 --> :18.360
weekend or had a couple friends over pretty normal
stuff well Harry not his real name started taking
:18.360 --> :25.640
the drinking too far in our junior year way too
far completely reclus to his bedroom only pretty
:25.640 --> :32.520
much only coming out at off hours to get food
or Trash Away cans and cans of beer just stacked
:32.520 --> :38.480
seiling high he moved his TV and console into his
bedroom instead of the living room started being
:38.480 --> :45.080
very particular about food and went through phases
of eating nothing but fast food Taco Bell and KFC
:45.080 --> :49.760
and then eating nothing but these weird Juice
drinks from a coffee shop down the road didn't
:49.760 --> :55.560
want me storing my snacks near his items anymore
it was just weird he kept doing his chores kept
:55.560 --> :01.160 going to classes and didn't really care that
alcohol olism was taking over his life we my
:01.160 --> :07.080
friends and I had a lot of conversations with him
his parents came down and saw him his adviser got
:07.080 --> :13.360
involved nobody really took it seriously because
he was still working still passing classes still
:13.360 --> :18.760
showing up so we just tried to take care of him
the way we could at home stopped bringing alcohol
:18.760 --> :25.560
over from Friends Etc kept help information out
on the tables Etc here's where the issue started
:25.560 --> :31.360
really affecting me directly eventually so his
weird food thing then turned into taking all of
:31.360 --> :36.880
my own food I was really ticked about it because
we'd been living issue-free around this topic and
:36.880 --> :42.440
he clearly had no issue buying his own stuff this
went on for way longer than it should have before
:42.440 --> :49.040
I got fed up and did something about it talks
didn't work labeling didn't really deter him I
:49.040 --> :54.360
ended up keeping my non- perishables in my room
and only kept things I planned on eating day of
:54.360 --> :59.040
in the fridge or freezer it made coming home and
trying to figure out lunches and dinner is more
:59.040 --> :04.360
stressful than it should have been one day I got
a wild hair up my butt and decided I was going
:04.360 --> :11.680
to douse him with a spicy food so hot he'd think
twice before eating my stuff again he without fail
:11.680 --> :18.440
would steal any Asian SL noodle anything I had
in the fridge or freezer so one day I bought some
:18.440 --> :25.520
fresh shrimp and decided I would make extra spicy
noodles for him to eat steal I made my dinner that
:25.520 --> :30.320
night and ate it fried shrimp and some noodles and
veg and then made a second portion of the shrimp
:30.320 --> :37.120
and noodles but made the noodle sauce very spicy
with a little bit of pepper extract and pepper oil
:37.120 --> :41.920
here's the funny part I packaged the noodles up
in the fridge like I would have if it was my meal
:41.920 --> :47.360
prep and I ended up leaving the fried shrimp on
the counter overnight I meant to of course package
:47.360 --> :52.440
the shrimp with the noodles as part of the meal
well he did in fact steal my food when he came
:52.440 --> :57.840
in the next early morning he worked until 3:00
a.m. some nights including the shrimp that had
:57.840 --> :03.840
been sitting overnight on the counter probably at
least 8 hours or so at that point if not a little
:03.840 --> :11.680
more he had violent diara and vomiting probably
3 hours after he ate his stolen meal I woke up
:11.680 --> :16.960
to him vomiting in the kitchen sink because he
was getting a glass of water and another round
:16.960 --> :23.200
hit him I said man are you okay what's wrong he
goes man I think it was the shrimp on the counter
:23.200 --> :29.680
I was confused and then remembered I said oh the
shrimp I made last night I forgot to put them up
:29.680 --> :34.560
he said yeah man I ateed when I got in from work
and didn't think twice about when you'd made them
:34.560 --> :41.320
bad move on my part I was a laughing fit I asked
him if he needed anything and he said nah he was
:41.320 --> :47.280
fine he slept it off rehydrated himself and we
never had an issue with him eating my food again
:47.280 --> :53.440
for the last year and a half we lived together one
of those task failed successfully moments where
:53.440 --> :58.760
you got revenge on the guy you were trying to get
revenge on but you didn't do it in in the way you
:58.760 --> :05.320
ever thought it would it's one of those I guess
I'll be satisfied with this but you're almost
:05.320 --> :12.520
dissatisfied because your actual plan didn't even
happen our next story is rude cloth pegs I lived
:12.520 --> :17.840
in a small apartment block of about nine units I
was the only single person in the place and was
:17.840 --> :24.240
frequently judged by the other families wondering
where my husband was horror I didn't have one they
:24.240 --> :29.600
would do walk buys to peer into my apartment to
catch a glimpse of what the Harpy and unit four
:29.600 --> :36.160 was up to usually nothing if the blinds were
open and other rude staring activities we had a
:36.160 --> :41.680
shared clothes line for the block someone kept
unpeg my clothes on said line to use on their
:41.680 --> :47.640
own washing and after a few weeks of this with my
washing blowing off into the dirty fence I wrote
:47.640 --> :55.080
the word runt but with a c on all the pigs to know
which were mine surprisingly this actually stopped
:55.080 --> :01.320
them using them at all I just figured I could use
it to identify mine and unpeg their washing later
:01.320 --> :08.400
I giggled as my rude pigs sat unused on the line
for months this is one of those like ew it's got
:08.400 --> :14.600
cooties type moment G we cannot use those pigs
it's got an unsavory word upon them this next
:14.600 --> :21.200
story is tldr ex- roommate tore up apartment and
States she's not responsible for any of the fees
:21.200 --> :28.240
so I canceled my phone plan under her name that
has a balance of $400 I female 24 lives with
:28.240 --> :34.520
my ex- roommate female 24 for 3 years and it was
great the first couple of years but this past year
:34.520 --> :39.600
has been a nightmare I'm going to try to break
it down as simple as possible in 2020 when she
:39.600 --> :44.120
was moving in she talked me out of putting her
on the lease and honestly I should have said no
:44.120 --> :50.160
to her moving in just for that but at the time we
were best friends and I thought I could trust her
:50.160 --> :56.000
at the beginning of 2023 she went to some classes
and met a guy there they had a thing together but
:56.000 --> :01.760
there was a rule set in place stating you couldn't
date within the class they decided to date anyways
:01.760 --> :06.400
on the down low and then they got scared they
were going to get caught so they ended things
:06.400 --> :11.200
a couple of months into it fast forward to the
time they're both graduating this class the guy
:11.200 --> :17.000
has a new girlfriend that attends my ex- roommate
is infuriated by this and kept saying he was doing
:17.000 --> :22.840
it to get at her when really he just got a new
girlfriend and she couldn't cope with that fast
:22.840 --> :27.160
forward a little bit more and my ex- roommate
and this guy continued to hang out behind his
:27.160 --> :31.880
girlfriend's back back to the point where they
were drinking together one night at a bar and
:31.880 --> :38.400
on the way home he got pulled over and got a DUI
This Is Where It Starts affecting me because she
:38.400 --> :44.760
owed me rent right around the time this was going
down and instead of giving me rent she spent ,000
:44.760 --> :49.960
bailing him out so his girlfriend wouldn't find
out when I confronted her about not paying rent
:49.960 --> :55.600
she said I was just throwing her mistakes back
in her face and she never ended up paying me
:55.600 --> :01.600
back for rent then she got in a wreck at at some
point and still owed quite a bit on her total car
:01.600 --> :07.080
she had gap insurance but it was taking a while
to go through instead of waiting she decided to
:07.080 --> :12.680
get into another car payment before the insurance
company paid off her other car so she was paying
:12.680 --> :18.760
on both cars and still struggling to pay me rent I
said something about that and she complained about
:18.760 --> :25.480
how she needs a car and I suggested asking her dad
to use his since her dad works from home and uses
:25.480 --> :31.400
her mom's car most of the time anyways she got
really mad over this and flipped out about how
:31.400 --> :37.400
I think she's privileged or whatever at some point
while we were arguing she suggested moving out and
:37.400 --> :43.240
I told her okay the lease is up in a few months
we can revisit this then and see if anything has
:43.240 --> :48.000
changed she liked that so we stayed until the
end of the least and then we both decided this
:48.000 --> :52.560 wasn't working and to go separate ways she
told me she found an apartment in the same
:52.560 --> :58.840
complex she also kept asking to get a dog this
past year and I kept saying no because I didn't
:58.840 --> :03.240
think she could afford it and I wasn't going to
pay for her to get a dog to tear the place up
:03.240 --> :09.680
more a couple days before her move out date she
posted on her Snapchat story that she got a dog
:09.680 --> :15.480
and didn't even tell me that she had this giant
pitball in the middle of our tiny apartment when
:15.480 --> :20.320
I went to move some more of my stuff out that
infuriated me because she really couldn't wait
:20.320 --> :26.400
two more days or warn me about the dog I told her
what all we needed to replace to get my deposit
:26.400 --> :32.320
back to which she replied over and over again
that's what the security deposit is for since
:32.320 --> :38.400
she moved in she ruined all of the blind somehow
broke my bedroom window breaking in a couple of
:38.400 --> :43.960
times when she locked herself out tore up the
kitchen floor and entry floor moving the dryer
:43.960 --> :49.960 in tore up the washroom door because it was
in the way poked several holes in the walls
:49.960 --> :55.520
hanging things and so much more when she finally
moved out I went to clean the place up a bit and
:55.520 --> :01.480
spent 4 hours alone cleaning trash out of her
room and cleaning out the fridge that she left
:01.480 --> :06.720
packed full of gross food I also spent a whole
day scrubbing the tub which she left full of
:06.720 --> :12.400
Gunk and scrubbing all of the other surfaces I
say she alone because it was getting so hard to
:12.400 --> :17.680
live with her that I basically stayed with my
boyfriend most of the year so I was going to
:17.680 --> :22.320
put all of this behind me and move on but I got
a bill in the mail from our old apartment for :22.320 --> :29.640
$1,768 and my security deposit covered 8 $20 so
:29.640 --> :55.800 I texted her yesterday and said
they sent me a bill for $956,000 :57.960 --> :02.120
I don't feel like I'm responsible for the
utility fee or the carpet cleaning because
:02.120 --> :06.360 that was on the leases your responsibilities
you also told me you were going to get the
:06.360 --> :13.920
carpets cleaned so I will send half of the $520
186 for the vinyl replacement I don't feel like
:13.920 --> :19.040 I'm responsible beyond that basically saying
screw you to me because her name wasn't on the
:19.040 --> :23.920 lease I also never told her I would get the
carpets clean because I asked her to and she
:23.920 --> :31.160
said that's what the security deposits for she
sent me two $260 and that's it for all of this
:31.160 --> :36.440
she moved in after I was already living there
so that security deposit was mine alone and
:36.440 --> :41.040
it's very frustrating that she just straight up
didn't care to ruin this whole friendship over
:41.040 --> :46.800 this so after she sent that I felt defeated
thinking I can't do anything about it until
:46.800 --> :53.520
I remembered we have a phone plan together so
I looked up how much I owed on my phone $400
:53.520 --> :59.280
and in the policy it says if you cancel you're
still responsible for any fees on the phone so
:59.280 --> :04.600
I called them and canceled it and made sure to
already remove my card info and my autopay and
:04.600 --> :09.960
told them to bill my ex- roommate for it since
it was under her name and she doesn't care why
:09.960 --> :16.280
should I and that ensures that she can't contact
me anymore either well she'd still probably have
:16.280 --> :22.160
your phone number um I mean you can block her
though I think all things considered it's a very
:22.160 --> :28.160
expensive life lesson learned but you did get
your revenge in your own way this next story is
:28.160 --> :33.160 Revenge on jerk upstairs neighbor years ago
I lived in an apartment on the ground floor
:33.160 --> :38.240
of a three-story building everything was fine
until the lady above me died and they removed
:38.240 --> :44.560
the carpets and refinish the hardwood floors new
people moved in a woman her loser baby daddy and
:44.560 --> :51.920
a young girl the noise was so loud just crazy I
went up to introduce myself the man meets opens
:51.920 --> :57.800
the door I introduce myself and offer my hand to
shake his right hand is behind his back like he
:57.800 --> :03.280
has a gun the little girls looking at me wearing
mommy's high heels now I know what some of the
:03.280 --> :09.000
clomping was I explained the situation and asked
if maybe they could remove their shoes when at
:09.000 --> :14.880
home we do but I know not everyone does and I
don't really remember his response but nothing
:14.880 --> :21.680
changed it was stomp stomp stomp day and night
loser baby daddy didn't work so he was there all
:21.680 --> :27.480
the time clomping I worked opening shift at a
restaurant so I had to be at work at 6:00 a.m.
:27.480 --> :33.520
most days needless to say all this heavy clomping
would freak my sleep up most nights so to get my
:33.520 --> :38.320
revenge I used to put my loud butt alarm clock
high on a shelf as close to where I figured their
:38.320 --> :45.440
bed was I'd wake up make coffee finally turn it
off after a few minutes but that was not enough
:45.440 --> :51.040
this was in the days of landlines when I would
leave for work I would crank up the volume on
:51.040 --> :58.360
my princess phone it was freaking loud once at
work I would do my opening stuff have coffee and
:58.360 --> :05.160
whenever I had a moment I would call my number
I would let it ring and ring then I'd wait a bit
:05.160 --> :13.040
do it again repeat I used to do this like every
day I have no idea if it drove them crazy but I
:13.040 --> :20.360
sure as freak hope it did I made myself a pledge
never live below people again all of a sudden I'm

open marriage drama I'm divorcing my husband for suggesting an open marriage
my husband 28m and I 29f have been together for 9 years married for seven
we got a Noto classic shotgun weding to give ourselves better chances of
receiving custody of his half-sister 10f when their mom suddenly passed away
despite only being 20 and 21 years old we did receive full legal custody over
her absent father this information isn't super relevant to the current situation
but it really sets the tone of our relationship with the sacrifice we made
together and the things we each had to give up personally to raise this
beautiful little girl we don't have any children together but his sister is now
17 and moved in with an older more financially privileged ant last year
over the past year of this new found alone time I feel like we have
flourished personally and as a couple we never fight arguments are rare and we
are pretty good at coming to understandings and apologizing when
necessary basically I feel we had a pretty healthy relationship we each do
little things for each other I receive flowers no less than 10 times a year we
go on little vacations together and are generally really good I guess a bit of
the spark was sputtering out for a while but I feel like that's normal for a
relationship as long as ours fast forward to this past October my husband
seems like he has been depressed which is normal for this time of year because
of the timing of losing both his mom and dad in different years around the same
time the holidays are tough for him so I get it and try to be there for him he
had previously planned a self harm attempt because of family issues before
we met so I take his mental health very seriously he sits me down to have a
serious conversation and starts it by saying he wants to open up our
relationship I felt my heart drop to my stomach but I stayed silent and let him
talk he doesn't go into why he just jumps right into the rules and explains
how he wants me to find someone first before he starts looking for someone
himself when I asked him why he couldn't explain and fumbled his words I asked
him if he already had someone in mind for himself and of course he denied it I
couldn't help it I definitely blew up I was totally blindsided by this proposal
I slept on the couch after my outburst and he didn't even try to come after me
to explain anything which kind of made me feel worse I had never felt so
unwanted in my life as in that moment I have never given the impression that I
was the kind of girl to be open to that kind of relationship I will never judge
anyone for wanting to live that kind of life but it's just not for me he went to
work the next day but I had the day off and really thought about my situation
after crying for hours I came to the realization that this was the end of our
marriage even suggesting an open marriage was a deal breaker for me I
realized while he was still at work I moved all his stuff out of our bedroom
into his sister's old room technically a spare room now he comes home from work
ready to talk it out after talking through more of why he wants this I've
come to realize several things he is way kinkier than he lets on and is
disappointed with our bedroom life he knows I'm not on the same level and
doesn't want to push me past my bound boundaries to try things he knows I
won't like when I asked how he knows I won't like to try these new things he
explained they are an escalation of things he already knows I'm not down for
but won't go into specifics he is also unhappy with how infrequently we have SX
but has never really put in the effort to change anything regarding it they
just complained over and over and expected me to just be ready to do the
deed any minute of the day he feels we have nothing in common now that his
sister is gone for context he is more of the outdoorsy type where as I like to
stay inside and read or play video games I do venture out once in a while to do
things he likes together and genuinely enjoy them myself when I go like kaying
and skiing I do understand that it isn't
as often as he would like though because we got married so young there are a lot
of things neither of us really got to experience or try mostly ESU he is
mourning the loss of his young 20s and never getting to sleep around and
explore his Kinks part of the rules he explained was that we wouldn't
technically be sleeping around with whoever we wanted
he called it an open marriage but described it more as polyamory we would
each have a boyfriend or girlfriend of our own with whom we went on dates and
did things together someone we were each allowed to love and be with es an
emotional connection was pivotal for him which broke my heart to Pieces during
our talk I told him I would never be able to look at him the same way I would
never be enough for him and he was basically trying to get a pass for
guilt-free Cheating in my eyes I told him it sounded like he wanted to be with
someone else without ever leaving the comfort of his marriage knowing he could
date around and not worrying if those relationships would fail because he
could just come home to me he tried denying these things saying he wanted to
explore himself ASU but didn't want to lose me in the process he tried getting
me to agree to marriage counseling to talk about the open marriage concept I
told him just proposing an open marriage was grounds for divorce for me and I
wasn't willing to go to a counselor for them to gang up on me to try to bully me
into trying it I know in reality that never would have happened but emotions
were high in the moment because I told him I could never see him the same and
how badly this crushed any self-confidence I may have had he
doubled down he said if we go back into a relationship and pretend this never
happened then he would end up cheating on me for him it was open marriage or
nothing I chose nothing divorce papers were filed exactly one week later he was
so hurt angry that I could jump right to divorce and kick him out of our bedroom
so fast but I refused to be a second choice or have to fight for his
attention I can't believe he is okay with the idea of another person being
inside of me he is willing to just give me up to explore his options I can't
believe I wasted so much of my time with him I feel completely used to helping
him heal his family and raise his sister advice did I overreact should I have
waited longer before filing for divorce should I have just gone to marriage
counseling or was my gut instinct correct about the marriage being over I
still love and care about him but my brain is screaming to be logical we
still live together while we are trying to figure out how to split everything
but now he is being super toxic and Petty saying hurtful things and then
begging for personal details about my life I need to get out of this house how
do I cope with these complicated feelings tldr my husband blindsided me
with wanting an open marriage so I moved
him to our spare bedroom while he wasn't home and filed for divorce a week later
comments I Mahi he said if we go back into a relationship and pretend this
never happened then he would end up cheating on me continue on with the
divorce I wouldn't be surprised if there's someone on the side kakav Val
let me sleep around or I will absolutely cheat on you br said that with his
entire chest thinking it was a reasonable and B a choice I am so
impressed by op and her bravery courage and dignity it's so difficult to leave
the comfortable and familiar and I applaud you op for not dragging out your
pain hurt and humiliation sending you lots of love and hope for better years
ahead a witch he let her raise his sister and now that he doesn't need her
anymore he might as well do what he wants Manimal next year or the year
after he'll totally be begging op to take him back crying that he made a
terrible mistake hash too bad so sad op I'll make an update when it happens
update two months later edit update hello all I wanted to say thank you all
for the support as for the update where do I even start it has officially been
over the required 90 days since initially filing for divorce before it
can be deemed official I am going to the courthouse tomorrow to file the
remaining paperwork we had an easy uncontested divorce we agreed on pretty
much everything and he didn't even give me a hard time about taking our two cats
who are quite attached to me he was always the spare human I bought a small
home for myself and two cats and moved a few days ago I won't lie this whole
process was very tough for me emotionally it was especially hard
considering he was constantly hot and then cold he would jump from name
calling and trying to control who came over to our house to finding reasons to
call me on the phone all day and joking around with me like nothing was wrong I
feel like I have emotional Whiplash from the last 3 months of living with him
while looking for a new place to live at one point he came home to see me eating
a meal I had just cooked during a break from packing it was pretty disorganized
but I was in the middle of doing multiple things at the same time he saw
the mess and started yelling at me for it and throwing my things around the
kitchen another day he texted me as asking me why I wasn't interested in
where he had been spending his days off and later sheepishly asking if he would
drop the open marriage demand and if I would ever consider trying again of
course I told him we were way past that considering the multiple times he
promised he would cheat on me if we didn't open the marriage also I got my
STD tested and came back clean as a whistle I don't think he was already
cheating but he is damn embarrassed about this whole thing he wants me to
tell people he cheated on me when they ask why we are getting divorced instead
of telling the the truth about the matter he was made aware in advance that
after I moved and the divorce was finalized I would have no contact I did
all the leg workk to make this happen including getting all the divorce
paperwork and 2023 taxes filed separating all bills and bank accounts
hiding the address to my new home blocking him on all social media and I
will even be changing my phone number once everything is finalized he feels
that my going without contact is vindictive no matter what he has said
and done to hurt me I still have a lot of love for this man man he doesn't
deserve it I know but that is exactly why I need to go without contact it's
for my own peace and to maintain some semblance of self-respect I can't tell
him that because I don't want to give him or myself to be honest any false
hope that we could work things out I have no plans to be with anyone else in
the near or distant future I just want to work on building my confidence and
getting a healthier mindset I haven't gotten to counseling yet like many have
suggested I was in survival mode for the
last 3 months so I could get out of that
hellish situation now that I'm in my new house and getting unpacked I'm sure I
will be able to relax enough to start feeling better soon and if I don't I
have every intention of seeking professional help I have a huge support
network between friends and family our shared friends were all on my side as
well not that there is a true right or wrong in a situation like this but one
of his best friends telling him this was the biggest mistake of his life was
incredibly validating the only thing I regret about my relationship with him is
staying as long as I did despite all the
red flags I ignored throughout the years I went into detail on some of them in
the comments All I know is that I'm feeling a mix of relief and grief I just
need some time to allow myself to heal out of our many conversations he told me
that 99% of open marriages fail because they were open for failing marriages and
that since we had a great relationship we would have been fine I tried
explaining to him that I learned from some of you guys that what he suggested
was not an open marriage but was parallel polyamory and it was the most
difficult form of polyamory to achieve he didn't care and was only focused on
convincing me to work it out with him for me there is nothing to work out he
wants to be with someone else and to fall in love again so I am giving him
the freedom to do that while gracefully stepping back as many have said you
don'tk get to have your cake and eat it too there isn't much more to say on the
matter I said I was leaving and I did it here's the hoping 224 is my year
comments symbol faren hey congratulations on following through so
beautifully you made the right calls every step of the way especially with no
contact enjoy your new place and take all the time you need to heal you're
going to be so much happier zis at last an OP who actually has a backbone
congratulations and cheers on your freedom boerer he hasn't learned by
suggesting an open marriage he wanted you to meet some of his emotional needs
while getting others exual needs met by someone else now he's basically
suggesting the same thing he'll allow you to still meet his need for
conversation ation but you are right in saying you get all or nothing from me
secret voices op you demonstrated remarkable courage and self-awareness in
swiftly ending your marriage after your husband's disrespectful proposal your
decision to prioritize your own well-being and dignity speaks volumes
about your strength of character keep moving forward with confidence knowing
that you deserve a relationship built on mutual respect and genuine love stay
strong and trust that better days lie ahead thank you for watching the video

aah for telling my pregnant wife that people might not think she's pregnant my
wife of 8 years is four months pregnant and we're currently on a beautiful beach
vacation she's always been a naturally thin woman and prior to getting pregnant
lead Pilates and yoga classes she's the kind of person who takes a ton of pride
in their physical health a few days before this trip she wanted me to go
swimsuit shopping I obliged and we went to a few different stores every shopping
trip ended in her crying in the dressing room because she hates the way her body
looks she can't get over the fact she has a belly now and things
don't fit the same I think she looks incredible and I was extremely patient
the entire swimsuit shopping Fiasco she kept calling herself fat and being
pretty overdramatic about everything finally she settled on something I kept
assuring her over and over that I think she looks incredible she does fast
forward and this morning we decided to make a trip down to the pool I'm getting
our son ready and she comes out in her new swimsuit I tell her she looks cute
and I loved it couldn't take my eyes off of her then I said something that had
the same reaction as if I spread my ass cheeks apart and took a on a f-star
restaurant table I said honestly babe people might not even think you're
pregnant she looked stunned and horrified she asked you don't think
people will know I'm pregnant my stomach is huge and she's right it's a decent
size compared to her | give me a good story on AITAHfortellingmypregnantwifethatpeoplemightnotthinkshespregnant |

what is an air filter and why do I have to change it I need someone to hold our
mail while we go on vacation can you contact the post office two absolutely
helpless adults with kids oh and I had to add this in the air conditioner fails
she lets them know at maybe 9 p.m. at night they contact an HVAC repair
company who will be out there in the AM instead of waiting less than 12 hours
she goes to the store in the middle of the night and buys multiple window units
to install at 2: a.m. which she cannot do because Outlets are too hard for her
she then tells the landlord they are responsible for repaying her for the
multiple window AC units the HVAC guy had the AC repaired in less than an hour
that morning the tenant is still out $400 because legally the landlord
doesn't have to pay her for that | give me a good story on LandlordsWhatsYourWORSTTENANTExperiencePartorig |

Welcome Friends to another r slash malicious compliance video today we've
got some awesome stories of compliance and our first story of the days from
kalish we just need the IDS sure thing boss our UK Department had been running
daily stand-up meetings at the start of each day we'd Focus the purpose of the
meeting on catching bottlenecks and other issues before they happened and
cut out most of the fluff they really lasted more than five minutes and
actually resolved issues fast when we were bought out by a company across the
pond in the USA they wanted to have a manager sit in and listen at first soon
enough our boss came up to us and said that we needed to have more detail of
what we were doing every day in the meetings as they weren't comprehensive
enough we asked why and were stonewalled later that day we all received an email
from the manager it listed exactly how we were meant to run the stand up
including say the task ID you've been working on then say how long you were on
it and when you expect to finish repeat this for each task you've been doing we
raised that this one against the spirit of the meeting we also raised the fact
that the task ID is not the name of the task and that the US team did not have
access to our task board this was also ignored the next day rolls around and
our entire team are waiting for what was to come I started with my daily tasks
yeah so yesterday I started on ux3854 I did this for half an hour that task
completed I then moved on to ux3855 I worked on it for two hours I completed
that I took half an hour each on ux3856 ux3857 and ux3859 the reason I did not
do the ux3858 was because it was blocked by dt4938 and dt3837 finally I started
ux 3860. I'm still on that today and expect to be finished by midday after
which I will start on ux 3861 I might need some help on ux3861 Tim can you
talk to me about that after the meeting everyone caught on we didn't mention any
detail about what we were doing only the
task IDs after three days the US manager got the point and we returned to our
previous method at least they got the point and reverted it would be nice if
they apologized it would be especially nice if they learned from this if you're
taking over as a new manager in a place that you haven't really worked before
but you know maybe they seem to have been doing their job all right I think
it goes without saying that it's very valuable to understand how they operate
and why they operate the way they do are you the type of person that when you're
given dumb orders to follow that you'd rather just follow through with them and
allow them to figure out why it was dumb or would you rather just try to call it
out as soon as you can let me know how you would feel about it in the comments
down below our next story is from Kilted
Turtle you need more information in your weekly status report this is back from
the early days when project dashboards were becoming all the Hot Topic in CIO
magazine the six largest projects met weekly with the CIO to present current
status meeting was an hour but with people not being ready and the CIO
always being late we had each project not getting 10 minutes but more like
five to six so I condensed my slides down to four to get through it I was
also aware that I was first so I wanted to get done and let the other project
managers get their time in most of the others had the same number one week the
CIO gushes about dashboards that they had read about in a leading magazine and
how he wanted our meeting to start displaying more data all of the project
managers roll their eyes he takes up half the meeting about this so it was a
rush to get the project status in I go first do my four slides CIO goes c o p
slides are a good example of how more data would be helpful four is not enough
to get the full view of the project let's see a comprehensive dashboard next
week next week I'm all set I've created a massive deck of all the stats I could
find and create they were all time series on the x-axis but most had two
y-axis values to be able to Overlay the data my personal favorite was actual
work hours effort minus meetings against system loads as a percent showing that
when people were working the dev environment was busy and confirming that
the nightly full build and automated testing was actually running after
midnight handy to know to make sure we have the capacity but pretty useless at
a CIO level status all of them were a hefty pack of 50 slides meeting starts
I'm first and I go through the slides add 30 minutes in the CIO goes how many
more slides do you have just a few more in the dashboard you requested sir I
continue on for another 15 mins soon op yes sir just four more and I
presented the slides that I'd used for the last few months op these last slides
are perfect let's just stick to them for the next week they then ended the
meeting we never heard about dashboards again sometimes I'm not gonna lie it's
really fun to be just blown up with all of these statistics and numbers and
Oddities metrics progressions whatever you could possibly just sink your teeth
into but then you realize it's no fun if you have to actually go through all of
it you want to just kind of fool around and look around it you don't want to sit
through a 75 page PowerPoint on each individual thing especially not a weekly
by the way if you're enjoying these stories make sure to hit those like And
subscribe buttons down below so you never miss any of my daily videos our
next story is from abyssian Sky you determine my work time by the phone log
then I will too you I was working for a company that had recently had some rapid
turnover of managers and people I worked for one of the two customer service
departments my department handled service calls and the other department
handles incoming orders we'd been without a manager for several months and
we're doing pretty well our new manager comes on board and wants to change
things up and use fairly useless metrics to judge things I'd been at the company
for many years at that point so I could do the work in either Department without
a problem on days I was scheduled to work the later shift one through nine I
would come in a couple of hours early to help enter orders for the other team
because of the loss of people this was really needed one of the days I was in
early my new manager took me aside to talk she told me how she appreciated me
coming in early to help but there was an
issue I was logging into the phone queue after my starting time she showed me a
report that I'd logged into the phone late several times usually a minute or
two but there was one time I was seven minutes late I explained that I'm
usually in the building on time or early but don't usually log into the phone if
I get distracted by a question or if I'm in early entering orders she told me
late was late and the phone log was her determining Factor going forward after
that I stopped coming in early and focused on logging in on time I wouldn't
talk work with anyone until I logged into the phone about a week went by
before the manager noticed that I wasn't coming in early anymore and asked me
about it I told her that I didn't want anything distracting me and keeping me
from logging in on time she was pissed but couldn't do anything about it she
continued to micromanage our departments until half of my department went to a
direct competitor and named her as the reason they were leaving she lasted two
days after that I mean I imagine it's not really the workers concerns to
report that even higher management what exactly is going on here and maybe you
could say this is the fault of the even higher management for not paying
attention attention to anything that's going on below them because you would
think that maybe they would take notice of this before they just bled all of
their workers to the point where in two days time you decide you need to fire a
manager it's definitely the manager's fault for being an awful manager but
where's the people who are supposed to keep the manager accountable at our next
story is from TPB 772000 if I get penalized for one day
then I'll be out for three the maliciousness is small but has a great
personality so recently I posted about my malicious compliance that I was
involved in back in high school at Ingles I've since graduated high school
and college and now work a different job the job I'm currently working isn't the
best atmosphere and a lot of people don't like it for various reasons it's
very obvious like most places that they don't care about you and treat you as a
number well about a month ago I got sick allergies and changing weather which
typically happens this time of year for me I miss the day of work and because as
it was in scheduled uto or PTO I had to take in a currents which basically is a
point against me and if I get to Five I'll face disciplinary action all the
way from a write-up determination this number resets on the anniversary of you
starting well I'm the only programmer because the previous programmer quit
well when I missed that day I received An Occurrence came to work because my
supervisor needed me to show a company who bought our old machine how I
programmed it I still didn't feel 100 but was no longer running a fever so I
obliged big mistake by the end of my 12 hour shift I felt like crap and felt
worse I told my supervisor and he said well take tomorrow off but it'll be
another occurrence this kind of pissed me off because due to their rules you
can miss three days in a row and it's only one occurrence but if you miss
Monday Wednesday Friday and go to work Tuesday Thursday that's three separate
occurrences because you came back so I said grew that and came to work the next
day feeling sick but not getting another
occurrence I could have used unpaid time off or paid time off but I'd recently
came to pass my 90 days and maybe had four hours of both which wouldn't cover
my shift anyways so fast forward to the present as in a week ago and I probably
got a stomach bug my immune system is not that good and my wife works in
Pediatrics so she's always bringing me new things to help try and build my
immune system so the week that I got the stomach bug we got a new machine to
replace the old one we sold to another company our representative came out to
train the operators and share the new software unfortunately that morning he
came I had my head in a toilet so I called out which now makes it my second
occurrence the next day still not feeling the best I didn't go to work
still only one occurrence the third day I really could have went to work but
after two days of feeling like crap I really wanted to get rest in be well
recovered so I come back on the fourth day to find out that they had to pay
this representative a good bit of money to keep him here until I came back so I
could learn the new software which made my boss the plan manager mad he actually
came to me and asked why I was sick for three days and was it really three days
of sickness I told him the truth I could have come back one day to get the
training but was afraid the next day I would have had to have missed which
means I would get two occurrences so instead I took the safe route and gave
my body three full days of recovery so I don't risk it this obviously made him
upset and now him and my supervisor are aware if I'm out sick it will always be
three days if I can afford it reasonably
he even tried to pull well were a family around here card but that changes
nothing in my eyes the company I work for is owned by another company that
owns 14 other companies like us they're the ones that control 99 of the rules so
by me doing this the plan manager has no way of stopping me corporate would have
to pass a new rule I also starting January will receive enough unpaid time
off and paid time off to cover a sick day here and there as well as get a long
weekend of paid vacation you know how I know that working in this company that
you have to look out for yourself it's because they use that awful phrase well
we're a family around here you know what that means it means they want you to
bend over backwards and give them so much extra free labor and not complain
not feel entitled to Ascent more show up when you're feeling your worst but you
could still technically get your job done I think it's almost guaranteed if a
company tells you that a manager says we're like a family that's how you know
they actually don't care about you wouldn't you guys agree let me know in
the comments and our final story of the day is from chaotic ridiculous don't
touch the tomatoes okay there will be none this happened to my mother recently
for context the neighbor and her have driveways that are side by side with a
small patch of dirt slash gravel and weeds between that is basically no man's
land and it's just there it's about a foot and a half wide runs the length of
the driveway and no one really takes care of it leaving it as a border my mom
also has plenty of tomatoes growing in the backyard including cherry tomatoes
that are a favorite of crows stealing and other Birds now this spot was a
favorite for birds to drop Tomatoes or pick them apart because there were no
dogs while there are in the backyard or main yards at least that's how my mom
tells it eventually the seeds sprout and their small tomato plants starting to
grow noticing them my mom begins to water them regularly as she Waters her
front yard plants as she has to walk by them with the hose anyways this leads to
cherry tomato plants sprouting and becoming incredibly fruitful between the
driveways after a while they were disappearing and my mom figured it was a
combination of the birds and the wife of
the neighbor couple because she was home
all day my mom didn't care because these
were just chance Tomatoes she had plenty in the backyard garden and it was just
nice to have something more than dirt and gravel between the driveways all was
Dandy until my mom went to grab a few to
snack on while working in the front yard and the woman next door confronted her
she told my mother that those were not her tomatoes and she needed to leave
them alone the neighbor woman continued that the patch of dirt and gravel was on
her property not my mother's though our water meter was in it and ultimately it
was like a 50 50 split if you even cared
a look which when it was just nothing no one cared to so rather than argue with
her my mom said it was fine and she left them alone a few weeks later they
started to dry up and die without the frequent watering for my mom eventually
ending in the dirt and gravel patch becoming just that again I just don't
understand how if this neighbor lady was home all the time that they couldn't
recognize that op's Mom watering them was what was making these things Sprout
and grow did they think that these chance Tomatoes were just growing ripe
and proud and big all on their own with no interference I mean I suppose it
could happen but it's not very likely I'm less kind of curious about how the
neighbor felt after the plants died like I wonder if they would ever have an
accusation where they were like oh op's mom killed the plants on purpose when in
reality they just left them alone exactly as they said my failure to plan
is now your problem so I work in customer service in the automotive
industry as part of the services we offer guests we perform a state mandated
car inspection so people can register their car with the state it's a simple
process that can take about 15 minutes if you book an appointment with us but
every month we get flooded with people who forgot to do the inspection on the
last week of each month it is a Mad Dash
for last last minute appointments to fit people in before they're late now we
don't make money off of this type of service in fact it's a state set fee and
we realistically lose money doing these inspections on labor cost I preface this
to state that doing these state inspections does not benefit my shop but
we do it because it helps our customers front door opens to a male Karen coming
in on a Friday afternoon midday this distinguished gentleman will call him
Tim walks in at around 1pm in the afternoon and slaps his keys on the
countertop informing my front counter teammate that he needs an inspection now
now understand that even though all of our appointments were booked up days ago
we will still bend over backwards to help someone out we totally get that
things don't always go according to plan in life so we do what we can to help
that is as long as you're a nice person when you start trying to dictate how
we're going to help you that doesn't fly in my store Tim decided that today he
was going to do exactly that after we advised them that he can either wait
almost two hours to try to work him into a slot as we process our already
scheduled appointments or book an appointment for him next week Tim let us
know that booking an appointment the following week after the deadline was
not an option for him but he's got time right now so he's going to generously
give us two hours of his time and we need to figure out how to get him in cue
malicious compliance I stepped in to take over the conversation for my front
counter staff who have been dealing with
him up until now okay sir we're happy to help I'll get your keys out to the
technician you just have a seat and make yourself comfortable immediately I walk
the keys out to my technician with explicit instructions after explaining
to my tech that Tim is acting like a dirty trash can full of poop I gave the
express instructions that we will not even touch his vehicle until two hours
have passed mind you as Tim sits in the lobby stewing I have the pleasure of
servicing several other customers who set their appointments days ahead of
time 15 minutes here 20 minutes there and even a seven minute inspection for
an all-electric car things are flowing so so smoothly for all of the
appointments who did things the right way and it's showing on Tim's face after
the first hour Tim has finally had the courage to speak up I really appreciate
y'all trying to work me in but do you know how long it's going to be no Tim
you don't get to be nice now and try to expedite your vehicle you don't get to
be nasty to my staff and still get your way sorry Tim we're still trying to get
it fit in like I said about two hours before we can see the truck mind you the
lobby is totally empty and all customers have already been serviced early it's
perfect fast forward another hour and as multiple attempts to make small talk to
amend his horrible manners and treatment to one of my staffers and his cars
finally being brought into the shop Bays then moments later my technician walks
into the lobby with a giddy smile boss his truck needs wipers to pass
inspection they're torn and fail the vehicle passing on this wonderful news
to Tim he agrees to have the tech install some because he of course did
not bring any of his own at this point I feel quite satisfied that Tim's learned
his lesson with a little additional help
from the universe in him needing to also replace wiper blades but apparently the
universe was not quite done teaching Tim a lesson his car still failed the
inspection the last part of the test is run by a computer that reads the
internal control modules of the car it's a totally automated process that can't
be tampered or affected by the inspector the only thing that can interfere is if
the car had the battery replaced and those control modules have been reset
but that's exactly what Tim did hours before coming to see me he replaced the
battery and cleared those exact modules so at the end of the day Tim was his own
worst enemy and failed his own car having to book an appointment for the
following week but With a Little Help from the universe he hopefully learned a
very valuable lesson that service workers are not your slaves and to
always tip your waiters a little bit of kindness to customer service people and
desk reps can really go a long way also hi I'm Stephen and if you enjoy awesome
stories of malicious compliance why not hit that subscribe button down below
don't want to pay me for my work alright
I'll undo it I'm naming the company name because I've had many issues with them
and everyone should be warned so I have to say this first be aware of working
for the delivery service shipped today I picked up an order for delivery it had
gone promo money added on on shipped it was for a delivery in a town that's 15
minutes from the store of purchase alright not too bad for sixteen dollars
especially since I live within 10 minutes of the town I was delivering to
I take it I go to the store received the
groceries and I'm on my Merry way I sent a text to the customer that I'm on my
way and will reach them before so and so time no response so I give a quick call
it does a weird thing and ends doesn't even go to voicemail huh what if I sent
them a text get to the house knock no answer leave the bag outside the door
and walk away I make it to my car start said car woman pokes her head out of the
porch door as I'm about to leave you were very lovely woman on porch thank
you for your kindness waves me down looking highly confused so I
unfortunately stopped the car and get out the woman asks what this is why your
order ma'am I say looking all happy I didn't order anything she says oh no did
anyone else in the house nope oh no no no so there's a wrong address on the
delivery I have never dealt with this before and I have to leave to catch a
movie with friends in 30 minutes cue me going door to door at each house on that
small Street while reaching out to shift support and while trying to call the
customer again does the same weird thing
with the phone I give up on that proceed to knock on doors nope nope nope
nobodies alright shipped suggestion just drive back and return it
um no shipped I'm a delivery contractor I'm not a volunteer nor am I a charity
I'm hired by you to fulfill deliveries as far as I'm concerned I have delivered
to the address on file I'm not reaching into my bank account to correct someone
else's mistake for the total extra 30 minute round trip I'll need ten dollars
on top of the initial pay thanks gas for being so expensive no they say we'll
give you eight dollars and 10 cents no I
say I have plans and now 10 which should have been 30 mind you minutes that I
will now miss eight dollars and ten cents will not cover the gas and wear
and tear for the extra 30 minutes I will need no less than ten dollars or I'll
leave them on the curb of the noted delivery address 580 blinking Street and
duck off we'll give you five dollars and can't do any more than that they say
wait I say five dollars on top of the additional eight dollars and ten cents
to make it thirteen dollars and ten cents on top of what I'm being paid or
just five dollars I wanted everything in writing specifically because I knew
shift was going to do exactly what they did next they say oh yes thirteen
dollars and ten cents but we can't do any more they say fine I'm returning it
to the store now I say I go to the store do the whole return process get in
contact with shipt as they directed me to with the requested information I get
a message on my phone from shipt to the effect of your order has been canceled
and twenty dollars and eighty cents issued to your account what eye contact
shipped say I'm confused say it looks as though they were only giving me five
dollars on top of the original order payment when they said I would be
compensated thirteen dollars and ten cents I was told oh we won't give you
any more than five dollars but you already said is there someone else I can
speak to they say nope five dollars take it or leave it alright fine don't wanna
pay me the agreed upon wage that's a breach of contract meaning you never
actually paid me for this return so what did I do I marched right back into the
store asked the worker who had taken the return what she had done with it snatch
the bag up Strode up to a manager inform them of what had happened and told them
that since I wasn't being paid to return the groceries I would be taking them
back to the last place I was contracted and paid to deliver them 580 blinking
Street and duck off told him if he wanted to be recompensated for the
groceries he could charge shift as they were not willing to pay to have them
returned iMessage shipped from my car informing them of this and gave them 30
minutes yep plans definitely ruined it's now two hours later to rescind their
Ascension and pay me what they actually agreed to and owed me I had to reach out
two separate times because the first girl despite me being very polite would
it not go to anyone else such as management to ask for an exception to
this policy considering they had literally told me they would pay me more
actually had the gall to ask if I had taken items I'd returned and all I had
to say in response was did you pay me to return them the second girl was much
more helpful reached out to her team to see if anything could be done ships
still wouldn't be swayed but I think too profusely for at least trying so in the
end they said they wouldn't do any more than five dollars I told them alright I
reject that offer just pay me for the original delivery because 580 is where
they'll be you can pay another shipped Shopper fifteen dollars to come get them
I drove back it was on my way home dropped them off and left I'm not a
charity I don't work for free and I certainly don't pay to work I'm going to
be messaging ShopRite corporate directly along with the New Jersey labor board
because this isn't the first issue with the wages I've had with shipt and
honestly ShopRite should see compensation from them have fun paying
for the more than thirteen dollars and ten cents of groceries that are now
rotting on the curb shift side note to anyone who may say you're being entitled
no I'm not it is not entitled to expect an agreed upon wage it's extortion to
expect me to work for less than agreed imagine you accepted an order from a
delivery service fulfilled that obligation and suddenly they decided to
pay you less than half for that completed order or you're working a job
and they suddenly cut your pay without any notice or agreement upon your part
as I explained to them I know never would have returned the groceries for
five dollars because it wasn't my mistake plus I would have returned them
no problem if it had been and I would be paying to return them plus the missed
plans plus the lost time so no I'm no way in the wrong and I don't care what
anyone who thinks otherwise has to say honestly I think this is one of the
downfalls of having services like this because if this is a company where
you're regularly paying your employees like a normal functioning business it's
the kind of thing where the business just eats that cost but when you're
essentially Contracting these people and then expect them to eat the cost
themselves in any way or you know do additional work which is driving the
whole way back and returning those items it just doesn't really work well unless
you're really willing to eat those costs as a business that said our final story
of the day is you're gonna need to repeat that back to me double malicious
compliance hey y'all it's drive through op again I'll start off by saying this
if you ever feel Petty enough to ruin a drive-through person's day at work ask
them to repeat the order back this isn't because it takes too long or it's
difficult so much as it is insulting to our intelligence I still do it with a
smile mostly but not this evening when a car drives in the drive-through it sets
the sensor off instantly and we hear everything everyone in the car says my
headset beeps I greet the customer and I hear oh sweet Mellow Yellow Peach I ask
whether he wants a small medium or large they say no butt hat not you how about
you pay attention enter malicious compliance number one I'll pay attention
all right in the meantime I tell him to let me know when he's ready he orders in
the most convoluted way possible insulting me directly in between every
other item I even do him the favor of making his items a combo because I've
learned that when in doubt air towards nice he then stops me as I'm about to
say the total look dude you're gonna need to repeat that back to me I know
you missed that crap up he had a very rude tone the whole way which I'm
learning to be better at picking up one of my Twilight years 46. enter malicious
compliance part 2 which unlocks part one time to employ my memory and voice
acting skills you got it sir in my California Surfer Keanu Reeves voice
Dude Sweet Mellow Yellow Peach I then go back to my voice for my parts small
medium or large no butt hat not you well
let me know when you're ready okay man I want a bacon burger a big one which
Burger sir we have looked dummy a bacon burger I keep going back and forth
switching between exaggerating and insulting California dude crash voice
and my regular voice each of the five times he called me a name in the
transcript I make in my voice so it's me insulting him with his own words my
manager Bruce jumped behind the ice machine to laugh his butt off in full
support of my churlishness I repeated like 98 of the convo verbatim right up
to the request to repeat it back to me he finally says you know what goodbye
and go freak yourself I say have a nice evening and wave to a man who was in the
process of running his tire just to make a gesture with his hands towards me as
he unsuccessfully passes the drive-through window I couldn't have
planned it any better he seriously popped his tire as he hopped the right
curb the best part the two family nuggets he ordered 50 nuggets for 11.99
didn't have to be made Bruce was happier
than any of us about this as the cost of the company was so great this guy
disappeared into a flurry of yellow lights clinking chains and customers
with car fulls of food hopefully never to be heard from again see I already
wouldn't be rude to a lot of people but I think the last people you want to be
rude to is a worker making your food at a fast food chain because let's be real
if there's ever going to be a situation where somebody does actually spit in
your food because you were being a total jerk to a fast food Burger Joint worker
is probably pretty high up there on the list yeah you guys take care of it this
is yet another entry into my fast food Chronicles I believe this is one of the
first times I'm writing about people I rarely see day shift there was once a
time I knew very little about day shift but one day I got to appreciate the
different requirements not more not less just different I covered for a week for
the boss fodder for later so a month passes by I'm back to my usual nighttime
drive-through duties and the crew and I are noticing that we're doing way more
work than usual we're coming into our shift to a dirty horrible unstocked mess
every night we come in we say something to Alberto the store manager he says
that you'll have a talk with them it changed for literally a day then back to
the usual mess of extra piles of dishes garbage bags full of morning garbage
just absolute unsanitary Bedlam one day I come in a couple hours early to cover
for the front counter it's this time that I run into Scott the day shift
supervisor the man whose court dates daughter names and Ex-Wives names are
things everybody knows and not because any of us asked the man who has a twang
in his voice for no reason he's from Ohio the bane of my existence I let him
know that his crew keeps leaving us with extra work this isn't our first
conversation so I kept the conversation hyper focused he quips back yeah how
about you guys take care of it you all do the same crap we very don't want us
to take care of it we'll take care of it intermolicious compliance I know for a
fact that the next am Alberta will be making his orders I decided to take
every bag of garbage ever every unwashed dish every unflattened box and make a
collection of it the rest of the crew helps me with this and I even reject a
few donations to the pile because it's a dish we're going to use too dirty egg
cooker cups the works we add to this monstrosity I put it on the front of the
front door inside the restaurant but you
can walk in without moving boxes I leave a note saying Scott says night crew
needs to take care of all of this done now what I hadn't planned on was that
this particular order or count was something that the GM was here for and
the GM was the first to see it I wasn't there to see his reaction but I was very
surprised that not only did I still have a job but Scott lost his technically a
demotion but he was in the day shift go-to anymore all of a sudden things got
better and over the time I found out that it was all the dirty egg cookers
that set the GM off I mean I know it's a fast food place but I'm honestly
surprised people allowed this to have happen for as long as they did also hi
I'm Steven and if you enjoy awesome stories of compliance why not hit that
subscribe button down below that said our next story is doing my job okay I'm
really quite terrible at recounts so I'll try to keep this quite brief
basically I was working casually for a pizza chain the one that you can't out
pizza and I had a call out for a shift to go to the hospital as I was the
victim of some domestic violence and injured my arm the managers were fine
with it although out of the four I spoke to none of them asked if I was okay but
that's a different matter I went to the hospital and the doctor looked at it and
just put a Band-Aid over the wounds in my arm and said not to do any heavy
lifting and use my arm as little as possible for a couple of days I
questioned whether he could just glue the wound or Stitch it but he refused I
have no idea why it 100 needed to be glued and my regular doctor said much
the same when I show the injuries to him nearly two weeks later as they still
hadn't he field but after I got to my house from the hospital I rang my store
manager and told them I would only be able to do light duties for a couple of
weeks knowing the doctor at the hospital was wrong and he said that wasn't a
problem and that he appreciated that I was still willing to work anyways I went
back to work two days after the injuries occurred yeah I probably shouldn't have
been going to work but I needed the money and I wasn't going to have any
otherwise as soon as I got there the manager not the store manager let's call
them Tammy told me I would be on dispatch cutting in boxing all of the
pizzas and sides I apologized and explained that I wouldn't be able to do
that as the pans can get quite heavy and the doctor had asked me to not use that
arm I also showed her the bandage I had my arm wrapped in Tammy asked why I even
came to work then and I explained that I told the store manager about my
circumstances and they'd been happy for me to do light duties Tammy rolled her
eyes and told me to answer the phones and serve customers instead which I was
happy to do we got quite busy and dishes started to pile up and Tammy told me to
get on wash up I reminded her of my arm and suggested it probably wasn't a good
idea to put a fresh wound that was still bleeding slightly in water that was
being used to clean dishes Tammy rolled her eyes and said she was going to the
office and she would be back in 20 minutes and that I'd better have done
all the dishes and put them away I tried to explain that I wouldn't be able to
lift the fresh out of the oven pans into the sink to wash but she ignored me and
said that my arm couldn't be that bad or
the doctor would have glued the wound or given me stitches and that she wanted
the work done cue the malicious compliance I started doing the dishes
and was very careful to only lift an amount that I could handle with one hand
despite it not being very safe 10 minutes later Tammy yelled out that I
wasn't moving fast enough and that I need to use two hands so I lifted up a
larger pile that I could usually carry quite easily with two hands but in this
case my arm went numb and I dropped them and in reflex tried to catch them which
completely busted the wounds open and blood started dripping everywhere I
quickly bandaged my arm again and cleaned up the blood but one of the
customers had started yelling that I needed help Tammy came and told me to
move out of her way she then spent the rest of the night cleaning the dishes as
the store manager had checked the cameras and seen me doing the dishes and
told her they needed to be redone with clean water and I continued doing the
light duties I'd been assigned to aside from a number of admin tasks that I
normally did which she for some reason refused to allow me to do I found out
later Tammy didn't go home until 1am and kept two other staff there to help her
when we close to 10 because she wasn't able to get to her work plus the work
she refused to let me do done on time this story is crazy and all but I just
hope Ops in a good spot now I mean I'm sure op kind of glanced over the
domestic violence mention in but I hope they're doing well that said if somebody
is clearly hurt even without a doctor's note you should have some kind of
compassion they should be impressed that somebody's even showing up to a pizza
chain in that condition our next story is my dad's cousin's ex let me tell you
a story about my Dad's cousin she's in her late 70s early 80s well she was
married to a super high up of some big company they had two kids but had a
wonderful prenup it was Ironclad where if they divorced she got nothing but
what was acquired during marriage and he paid child support if she cheated she
forfeits everything but child support if
he cheated he had to pay her alimony and
child support until she got remarried no matter what she made it was said that
she got five thousand dollars a month alimony after the kids were 18 her
alimony went down to 2500 if she was still unmarried the man was loaded well
he cheated and she got proof actually his boss caught him and liked her so he
told her even testified to it plus he didn't deny it in court he was having an
affair with his young secretary so she got alimony and child support well years
later after she finished cosmetology school she ended up opening her own hair
salon in the South she has a lot in those upscale assisted living facilities
so now she's also loaded she drives a super cute red convertible Mercedes
while they divorced when she was 30. she's still never remarried he's still
paying alimony she's had a serious boyfriend for 30 years but she said just
despite the X she won't remarry unless he dies so he's been married more than
four times but no matter what because of
his prenup he insisted on she still gets
that twenty five hundred dollars a month well for at least 40 to 45 years so far
he's been paying she said after what he did to her making her give up her dreams
and sign a prenup she was going to make him pay she did eventually initially go
finish school and follow her dreams after her kids were grown she has she's
the nicest person too his other wives got nowhere near that he made sure his
prenup granted them nothing but Child Support also her boyfriend and her don't
live together they've been neighbors for years they both want their own space he
also has his own money she doesn't even need her ex's money just puts it into
account for her grandkids colleges she also likes to donate some to women's
shelters she donates it in his name so he gets notifications or notes that
money was donated in his name she said the day he dies she and her boyfriend
will go to the courthouse everyone in the family knows and every time we see
her my father laughs and says so the ex still alive and paying do you guys
believe in prenups like if somebody does
have a good chunk of assets or is making a good chunk of money should the
relationship be so good that it's just not necessary should it not be seen as a
shameful thing if somebody wants to have a prenup before they get married if
somebody says that they will not get married unless they have a prenup is
that a huge red flag and a sign that you shouldn't go forward I'd like to know
what you guys think this next story is cancellation fee my work yes the same
job where I reported those emails used to rent their printers from a printer
company and they sucked we paid over twenty four hundred dollars a month for
just the eight LaserJet printers no toner no supplies and we had so many
issues network issues paper and toner issues and every month we would have to
Shell out money for one of their technicians to come out and fix their
junk we paid that for over eight years until we went over the numbers and found
out it would be cheaper to buy our own machines so I called them to end the
rental they did the average Spiel what can we do to make you stay and they were
desperate they said that I would need to pay a small cancellation fee to end my
contract expire 625 4 2023 the next day I have an invoice on my desk for 11
296.34 cents for the cancellation fee I called them and they gave me a super
unclear answer on why it's this amount I look into this contract we signed eight
years ago and it said that if we cancel within 14 days we would incur no
cancellation charge and receive a refund for that month if the printers were in
packaging so I call them and ask to be upgraded to their top of the range
package and I would like all of my old bad stupid printers taken away and to
get top of the line new printers the total per month was like eighty nine
hundred dollars a month and in this new contract I signed for this new package
the no cancellation charge within 14 days Clause was still there I convinced
my Financial Manager for me to try to gamble eighty nine hundred dollars so we
can save eleven thousand worst case we save three thousand dollars on a
cancellation fee best case we save eleven thousand they said that in three
days my old printers will be taken then next week we can choose models the day
comes and the printers have been taken the next day I call this printer company
and say I would like to cancel my contract and it's been under 14 days out
of luck I get connected to the same person I was talking to about getting
these new printers it took me around two hours but they finally canceled it and
they didn't have to pay a fee they were totally confused and probably pissed hey
if you're gonna give somebody that's been in a contract with you for eight
years a hard time that hard of a time to get out of the contract I say it's fair
game this company was totally loyal to you and you try to screw them over on
the way out if I was in any kind of job position where I had influence on who
you contract with or who you work with for printing stuff I'd be spreading bad
words about this company around all over the place just a horrendously pretty
auditory charge that said our final story of the day is you want 70. um okay
one two three so not mine but the one that was done to my dear sister my
sister buys these fish defeated my brother-in-law's pet fish she goes into
the pet store and says she would like 70 of the little guys so the net goes in
and right into the bag well my sister looks and goes that's not 70. so the
store employee looks at my sister and goes okay and dumps the little guys back
into the tank then proceeds to initiate malicious compliance one in the net and
into the bag grabs another in the net and now two in the bag another customer
shows up and looks puzzled as the employee is now on a seven count yep
gives my sister a look and says is he for real sister could do nothing but
shrug and say Yes knowing this was all on her sister gets 70 fish looks of the
bag and Bell's head defeated as she now realizes the first bag had more than 70.
wasted her time the employee's time and those of the other customers waiting for
help on the way out the manager seeing my sister clearly Disturbed asked her
what was wrong she just told the manager that she was in a hurry to get home no
complaint was made she told us she knew she messed up but couldn't complain
about it either the employee of the pet store is my hero yes sister realized she
messed up big time we all laughed as she was telling the story both at her and
the awesome malicious compliance so from the way this story went down and from
what I'm seeing in the comments the common sentiment is if you're going to
like a fish store or a bait shop and you're ordering a bulk of something that
would be otherwise incredibly tedious to count out you probably should just go
ahead and take the approximation because apparently most places will probably
give you more than they would be giving you less and it makes total sense
because if you're a customer ordering 70 of something from a store and they give
you a few extra on top that's only going to serve to bring you back in the next
time you want 70 more right like I bet this sister was ashamed but I bet they
know that they want to go there next time right cost of forty dollars per
month is too expensive for the accounts team my work involves analyzing all
kinds of data this instance occurred around the time when our company was
somewhat new but still large enough to have 150 employees and rapidly growing
so far our data analysis had been retail companies travel agencies or even the
housing market for the first time we received a request to analyze Health
Data from five hospitals in our area the
Health Data is very sensitive so the raw data itself and the analytical results
could not be shared via email or Dropbox for the first time my team gets to see
that since positive companies go through channels that have a lot of security to
share the data between us and the client these channels cost money but nothing
too expensive which our organization couldn't afford something like forty
dollars per month four out of the five hospitals have this data sharing Channel
which meant that my team was able to receive the raw data and also be able to
provide the analysis via the same channel the fifth hospital was new and
they didn't have this channel either our company or the fifth Hospital needed to
have this channel so I raise a request with the accounts team to purchase this
Channel and it's denied myself and my manager both raised it again and also
discuss it with the account supervisor and it's approved verbally but declined
on the system once again after two weeks we try again for the third time after
discussing it with the higher accounts manager and still no approval at the end
to buy this channel it's declined and we've been told it's the hospital's
responsibility to share the data and if we reach the hospital they'll ask us to
reach the health Ministry which then asks us to get in touch with the local
Member of Parliament Etc so just a lot of bureaucracy that I shouldn't be
managing while this entire request of data sharing is being worked on the time
for us to receive and analyze this data is running out we're waiting only on a
single Hospital's data which is ready to be sent to us but only via an
appropriate channel so I've had enough I find out from the health Ministry email
response while working on getting the hospital to buy the data sharing system
that the data can also be shared practically specifically if I was to
take a USB with me to get the data physically at the hospital and also
return the output to the hospital the same way this practical data sharing
capability is deemed entirely safe and that's what I started to do every Monday
I drive 30 minutes to the hospital at 11AM go to their admin team to retrieve
the data in my USB and then drive back to my work reaching at 1pm then I go
have lunch at 1pm I repeat the same task again with our analytical output on
Thursday our contract is to analyze the health data for the whole year after
doing this for three weeks one of the upper management people whose office is
opposite my desk starts to think that I've been taking a very long time for
lunch from 10 AM to 2PM he comes to my desks and asks if everything's okay and
why I was away from my desk for four hours I tell them the whole story he is
not happy at all the cost of that data sharing system is nothing compared to
the cost of paying my salary while I physically collect the data every single
time he puts the accounts team into their place by finding out that they
approve of this system verbally each time and then deny it every time after a
few weeks and literally that day we have the system all purchased and then
installed overnight although I do miss the bi-weekly travel while listening to
music to only do a copy and paste of files into and out of a USB drive
honestly if I was in OP shoes I'd be pissed this is like the perfect start to
the day you get to just chill take a drive listen to music you kind of just
chill for four hours and then start your job finally at 2PM also hi I'm Steven
and if you enjoy awesome stories of malicious compliance why not hit that
subscribe button down below that said our next story is what is it with
takeovers in colorblind management Reading a few stories here and I
immediately think of how this year went for me a bit of context I worked for the
same company for the last 20 years and recently started thinking about options
I had a second job which I really enjoyed and did really for fun and for a
little bit of cash to spend on boys toys it was never going to pay my mortgage
over the covet pandemic we were all sent to work from home and you you know what
it worked most folks on the team got more done and had a significantly better
work-life balance right at the start though the company was taken over and
that was the start of two years of changes the first was an attempt to cut
everyone's pay by 10 percent because kovid the company is in online payments
and covid was a real money spinner for them the CEO and CTO bragged that they
gave up their salary for six months to sweeten the ten percent pay cut what
they didn't do was give up their bonuses or options and they did really well out
of that top tip for CEOs are ctOS and Fortune 500 companies your salary
packages are posted publicly we knew what you got roll the clock forward to
the summer the CTO and CEO are awarded a huge pay raise to compensate for the
time they gave up their salary at the same time staff were told that there was
no pay raise forthcoming for them as there wasn't the money money to do it
they also cut long Service Awards so my expected service bonus evaporated then
they had a town hall meeting and there was a lot of heated discussions on pay
and the cuts to the recognition scheme then came the sledgehammer everyone had
to switch back to working in the office there was an option for continued home
working but that would require a reduction in salary to reflect the
savings made in commuting in time spent commuting I asked what other options
were on the table and was told that I could always look for another job the
timing of that was perfect I'd been looking into other options for
increasing my work in my second job and I was told that I could have as many
hours as I wanted I made the call as soon as we left the town hall asked to
go on full-time hours and got approved immediately the following Monday we all
had to go into the office full time again I walked in logged into the
network and I handed in my notice here's where the fun really kicked in we were
asked to give three months notice but if you gave one month there was no legal
recourse I also carried over quite a lot of vacation from the previous years and
had eight weeks to take I gave the months noticed and requested a month of
my vacation immediately there was a sharp intake of breath and a very
shocked face for my manager and the sudden realization I was out of the door
that day if you're going to tell someone to just look for another job don't be
surprised when they already have one you also should have a plan B in case a
person leaving was due to me with a client later that week although it's
really nice to hear how op got out of this situation I'm reading this and I'm
thinking to myself you know what it sounds kind of par for the course and a
Fortune 500 company I mean the bottom line is they want workers to work for
the least possible amount where they can at least continue to churn workers as
much as possible I mean look at Amazon for example they've done it said so
harshly that there's some areas where they're running out of people that they
can even hire because they've churned through all of the possible workers the
real kicker is they give you a great salary to start off with like oh 19 20
an hour and then the longer you work there your wage actually starts
decreasing that said our next story is vote with my feet don't mind if I do in
my old role compliance for a financial institution we used to be split into two
groups investigations and alerts alerts did the first level of processing of
items that came in and then determined whether they should be escalated for
further review sent to investigations or closed out alerts was expected to get
through 8 to 15-ish items per day depending on referral Channel and other
factors while investigations was lucky in some areas to get through two per day
some cases could take days or weeks to do I worked in investigations
specifically within treasury which was considered the most complex area and I
primarily dealt with the high scrutiny slash High complexity atoms like law
enforcement referrals I was also the main trainer for treasury particularly
complex cases and had created all of the training materials and processes
additionally I worked as the point of contact slash representative on the
procedures Management Group so I knew them inside and out what it boils down
to is that I made myself the keystone species of the department albeit
inadvertently as it happens with any organization there was an ebb and flow
of employees in our area but for the most part we stuck around because we
were treated fairly enjoyed our work and
had senior leadership who actually tried
to understand what we did and why we did it we weren't dealing with people who
thought they knew better and who would make arbitrary decisions for the sake of
implementing change and saying that they
did something sure it wasn't perfect but it worked pretty well that all changed
when they decided to merge alerts and investigations together and make
everyone do everything things went downhill quite quickly especially
because the leadership that was given control was from alerts as far as they
were concerned a case is a case is a case it's not and you should be able to
get through all things quickly you can't and they're all created equally they
aren't they put undue pressure on folks to get through the caseload far faster
than feasible if you do it right anyway and removed all specialization which
made it incredibly difficult to get in the groove of the work because different
areas had different expectations and procedures to add to that they promoted
people who had no business being elevated Peter Principle anyone and
ignored tenured investigators who should
have been first up all that did was piss off the good employees and create a
whole bunch of post Turtles and Leadership roles as as one would expect
attrition skyrocketed they weren't paying us nearly enough to deal with the
BS so people left for both internal and external roles at alarming rates when
the pandemic hit we were for the most part stuck hiring freezes Galore and
there's always a fear of leaving and then getting screwed and being jobless
during the disaster that was is the world a bit more background at work I've
always had a reputation for honesty and for speaking my mind sometimes often to
the Chagrin of senior leadership as far as I'm concerned you can't complain
about something if you don't try to fix it so when everything was at Peak
awfulness I said something on a call with the aforementioned senior
leadership knowing that it was unlikely anything was going to change but at
least I would know I tried I was later pinged by one of the managing directors
in our overarching department not up my direct reporting line but in the same
organization we'll call him C I worked with c and number of times over the
years he had a rocket strapped to his butt and was perfectly content to ride
that puppy until he could go no further he is definitely a bit of a yes man but
that's what generally happens when you're in that type of role I'm unlikely
to ever become a yes woman because it's not my personality but it takes all
kinds and you never know what might happen in the future when C pinged me he
asked if I could chat and give him some details about the situation I knew I had
nothing to lose C keystone species so we got on a call and I explained the
problems in my opinions on proposed Solutions more Staffing revert back to
specialization and case types pay industry standard have leadership work
on acquiring a better understanding of the job so as to be able to make more
informed decisions Etc nothing unreasonable though I knew that it was
unlikely any of it would be done C's response vote with your feet about what
I expected but I was impressed that he went right out and said it especially
because we knew the whole department would be screwed if I left I'm sure he
figured I would never leave after all I'd stayed for almost eight years
already even though the awfulness didn't truly start until fairly late in the
game fast forward a couple of months to Summer 2021 I'd been focusing on finding
another role I'd been even trying to before talking with C but that gave me
renewed incentive I was being particular about what I applied for because I
didn't want to leave for the sake of leaving especially knowing that any
internal move would mean I was stuck for a year and I didn't want to risk
screwing myself out of something Perfect by jumping the gun my caution paid off
and I was offered an amazing internal opportunity that pretty much fit me like
a glove I kept my move quiet for a variety of reasons only telling my
manager but I knew that it would eventually make it up the chain I just
wanted to keep keep it as quiet as possible for as long as possible well a
week or so before I was scheduled to start my new role I got a ping from C
asking me to hop on a call he had seen the leave report and wanted to ask me
why I was going and whether he could convince me to stay they couldn't I got
on the call video and when he asked me why I was leaving I looked at him and
said well see I'm just doing what you told me to do he gave me a cocker
spaniel look complete with head tilt and I just smiled and said I'm voting with
my feet the satisfaction I got from the look on his face when he made that
connection brought me so much joy he was so crestfallen it was just chef's kiss
all I can really say here is if it gets to the point where you're giving ideas
to the company and the company says back to you vote with your feet AKA pretty
much voicing your opinion by leaving there's probably often not going to be a
great amicable solution in the end I mean how do you get told from your
company yeah we don't really care if you want to do something you can leave and
voice your opinion that way and continue working there with a smile on your face
like at least give the placating we'll talk about your concerns thank you this
is great stuff U.S Air Force Supply problems I need an antenna to fix a jet
they made me order the whole tail in the early 1980s I was in the U.S Air Force
my job title was avionics.com nav Specialists translation I fixed radios
and navigation equipment on a7d and later on on a 10 egg aircraft one of the
a70 aircraft that I was called on to fix
had been struck by lightning on the tail the upper 12 inches of the tail is the
UHF radio antenna it was totally destroyed by the lightning strike my
unit at the time was on temporary Duty TDY at Barbers Point Naval Air Station
in Hawaii for a 30-day exercise I was just a young pup at the time 19 or 20
years old I think but I was the only calm nav guy that was on the TDY so I
need a new antenna to fix the Jet and order one from our supply guy they tell
me that no antennas are available anywhere in the U.S Air Force okay what
do I do I ask they tell me to order the next higher assembly basically the tail
of the aircraft I argue for a while trying to explain how stupid that is but
get nowhere they actually get kind of nasty with me at that time the Cold War
was going strong any aircraft that was not Mission capable was a very bad thing
a grounded USAF jet on a TDY at a naval air base was even worse it had to be
fixed yesterday I called my boss back at our main base in Louisiana and explain
the situation he tells me to go ahead and follow the supply guy's
recommendation which I do it couldn't have been more than three hours before
I'm told to report to my maintenance officer the officer in charge of
aircraft meet maintenance wanting to know if I'd ordered an 87d tail assembly
I have to say as a young Airman First Class talking to a major I was kind of
scared I explained the whole chain of events omitting who I specifically spoke
with at our home base the major looked like he was going to explode in Anger
I'm thinking I'm a dead man instead he busted out laughing I mean like laughing
to the point where he couldn't talk laughing so hard that it looked like he
was in pain tears in his eyes Etc after what seemed like forever at least it
seemed that way he was able to actually speak again the major told me that the
way the Supply Group worked has always been a problem what I did just brought
it all out into the open with all the attention it got he actually thanked me
I got my antenna two days later it's always nice to unknowingly help out when
you can also hi I'm Stephen and if you enjoy awesome stories of malicious
compliance why not hit that subscribe button down below that said our next
story is you can't reserve seats on public transport we my aunt and uncle
cousin and dad were on a long sightseeing ferry ride it was a two-hour
ride with one stop in the middle we were the first to get on the ferry so all of
us blocked the window seats in a straight line it's public transport and
there's no concept of reservation it's first come first served we were sitting
in the air-conditioned cabin and had the option of going out on the main deck
just as we stopped in the middle my dad went on the main deck to take some
pictures and enjoy the fresh air another man gets on the ferry at the stop and
takes my dad's Window Seat though there were a few other window seats left my
aunt and I told him a number of times quite politely that someone's sitting
there but he only said I speak French and proceeded to not hear us my dad came
back and told him he was sitting there and this man called the security and
complained about my dad the security told my dad sir this is public transport
seats cannot be reserved my dad said all right man sat down next to him so the
scene right now is window man my dad empty seat aisle about 10 minutes later
the man was about to step out on the deck he left his bag on the seat and got
up to leave my dad asked him to kindly remove his bag and he refused so my dad
refused to get up and move to let him out my dad said you can't reserve seats
you showed me the rule kindly follow it yourself he became very flustered and
started clapping his hands and calling for security security was also on the
deck for the time being but a barista was there the man called the Barista to
help who didn't understand French either so he told them in Arabic that my dad
was refusing to move to let him out of the seat the Barista was flabbergasted
and asked my dad why I know Arabic so I intervened and clarified the situation
that is the man was keeping his bag and reserving his seat which he told my dad
is not allowed by this time the man has sort of climbed over my dad to go and
call the security and my dad hasn't budged keep in mind that my dad isn't a
small man and is quite big with broad shoulders and the sight of a tiny French
man climbing around him was really funny
the security came in and the guy's still
feeding them parts of the whole story in
Arabic when they came back to ask my dad he said you told me moments ago that
reserving seats aren't allowed he was keeping his bag and going to the deck
thus reserving his seat because no one would sit down on a seat with a bag in
it the security told him he wasn't allowed to do that and removed his bag
now my dad got up and told him that he can sit beside the window my dad just
wanted to prove a point and came and sat beside me the man was fuming and
muttering camera police and a number of colorful French abuses which I know
because I have a French friend he's glaring at us as I'm riding this and
guess what he isn't sitting in the window seat anymore the rules apply to
thee not to me how dare you take something nice away from me but by the
way I'm going to protect this nice thing solely for me nobody else can have it
you gotta love a hypocrite does anybody else think it's weird though the way the
family spread out to specifically only window seats like what in most families
just kind of fill up rows the way this whole family was like okay we're gonna
take every window seat on this side of the ferry does that seem odd to anybody
else our next story is I use the low rank against the captain and Australian
Cadets hello I'm a 16 year old male in the Australian Army valets I'm currently
a Cadet Corporal and I'm in the acting position of a Cadet quartermaster
Sergeant this is my telling of what happened over the past two weeks between
myself and my administrative Captain last week Wednesday I was at Cadet doing
my casual duties as an acting Cadet quartermaster sergeant and my captain
came down for Mad Men to check on me I brought up my units rank structure next
year and that's the nominate for the cadet under officer and born officer
worse he decided to nominate me as he believes I need to have experience in
the rank of a sergeant again I'm a Cadet Corporal I explain to him all the Feats
I made in the Q store and what I could do as a Cadet under officer I had
cleaned the Q store top to bottom let a section and platoon while Outfield made
a makeshift Q store Outfield applied first aid knowledge of the regular Etc
he shot me down again with the you need to have at least six months in the rank
of Sergeant I have been the acting Cadet quartermaster Sergeant for eight months
now still counting now comes the malicious compliance the next week I
went to Cadets and I went to my Q store and waited it's not a corporal's
responsibility to run the Q store so I waited for the captain he came down and
saw me doing nothing and lost his crap I mean full shouting threatening to make
me do drill Etc I sat up and said good evening sir I'm not sure why you're so
disgruntled I'm simply awaiting instructions from the quartermaster
that's when he got confused you are the quartermaster he said I told him no and
pulled out the induction booklet he gave me at the start of the year and
explained I'm Corporal and that I'm simply awaiting the order from my
sergeant he didn't know what to do I had him beat right there in black and white
I was doing the job I meant to and he couldn't dispute it long story short
don't let people take advantage of you because you aren't as high a rank as
them if you over achieve and they expect
that of you don't let them do it do your
job then you don't get into trouble I'll be going back to my duties as a
quartermaster but I'm going to have a serious word about a promotion without
knowing how everything functions with like what the cue story is and the
titles the basic premise here is kind of relevant to quiet quitting where they
expect op to be doing so much more than what their title demands and they're not
even giving them any recommendations to move up while still expecting them to do
way more than their role pertains in a situation like this where they don't
want to allow you to be able to move up they don't think you're worth it but
still expect you to bend over backwards and do stuff not in your job description
quiet quitting is kind of the go-to do exactly what your job says you're
supposed to do and nothing more I mean if you don't deserve it with all the
extra work and things you're carrying why even keep up with it at that point
then this next story is show me the email he said mine is probably not funny
but a recent post reminded me of what happened at a startup and I thought of
posting it here writing full details might expose me so I'm going to keep
some things generic I work in a highly regulated field and we're expected to
use some tools to analyze risks and failures in our systems hardware and
software when properly set up the tools are effective but set up incorrectly our
risks may appear too low or high the scoring system requires some estimates
and a scale against which you score factors that need multiplication for
about 10 to 15 years as complexity increased companies have granularized
their scales going from scoring things against one to five many score from one
to ten allowing your estimates to be more realistic because if we find risks
to be too high we have to spend a lot on
development in manufacturing to fix them if our risks appear to be too low when
they're higher we can be heavily fined death can occur Etc I was hired at this
startup to show them what the best in the industry were doing within a month
of my job there I emailed my manager in the director his manager that the skills
were of one to five were too narrow and could be very problematic yada yada they
never got back to me probably never read it this is a thing with them more in
this company than others why do I a mighty director has to respond to a
Bourgeois engineer in meetings with them and some other Consultants I verbally
also said this they never acted on changing the scale then no one wanted to
finish the risk analysis so I volunteered to do it as I had suggested
risk values appear too high this was a big freaking deal so there was a lot of
ranting and raving out of the blue the director angrily emails me and my
manager saying these risk estimates were
too high and why did I do that I emailed them both back saying I emailed you at
the very beginning of my time here warning you both specifically about this
we never got back I mentioned this in meetings and still no one agreed to the
change my hands were tied you think you would back off genius gets back to me
well do you have that email with you boy did I so I left a few months later
because so much was wrong with them it's been about two years you think he's
going to respond definitely this is why you don't clear out your inbox or at
least start opening folders if you can for your work emails it's also nice if
you can back them up I know it's not possible in every place because it might
be a breach of contract to for those to a non-work email the bottom line here
cover your butt whenever possible always
have receipts when it comes to difficult decisions and policies that you have to
follow that said our final story of the day is oh my paper isn't long enough
okay another post reminded me of my own little bit of malicious compliance back
in college this was more than a decade ago so in my junior year I was taking an
art history class on medieval art and architecture hard way through the course
the professor assigned a paper and the instructions were that the paper length
was to be five to nine pages I wrote my paper and it ended up being five pages I
said everything I felt was necessary to say in that amount of pages when I got
the paper back I received an A minus now I'm not usually the type to complain
about an A minus but in this case I knew I wrote a strong paper I was an art
history major and at this point was three years into my program so I had a
butt load of art history classes under my belt and I freaking knew when I
produced a good art history paper so I really wanted to hear why I got the
minus instead of a straight A I went to the professor's office hours to ask why
he graded it as such yes he was quite amused someone was complaining about an
A minus I didn't give a freak I wanted to know why he took off points and what
he thought could have been improved he hemmed and hod for a few minutes because
there wasn't anything wrong with my paper and he finally said well it could
have been longer I said the prompt said five to nine pages and I was within that
range he replied it could have been longer okay fine the next paper that
came around was the term research paper and this time the prompt said at least
15 pages Q malicious compliance I worked my butt off writing this research paper
and out of pure spite I made this dude read no less than 29 freaking pages
about some stupid medieval church now I had written papers this long before and
a year later when I wrote my honors thesis it was nearly four times that
length but for this particular topic I was really stretching it the verbosity
was a bit ridiculous a week or two later he returned the paper a plus grade he
handed it to me and said with a genuine smile it was great I loved it you should
submit it for publication to XYZ history Journal I begrudgingly submitted my
maliciously compliant paper to the journal and it was accepted and
published admittedly I was probably the one that suffered the most from my own
malicious compliance but I didn't care and I'd do it again op went out here and
tried their hardest to stick it to this guy and this guy came back with a Mile
and said I loved every second of it this
is like some guy getting up in your face saying what are you gonna do punch me
and then you do and then afterwards they're smiling like practically saying
it felt good just kind of leaves you like oh great wanna get more money by
making me look dumb have fun paying damages so this happened a while ago
just remembered it after reading some posts I was broken living in a homeless
shelter when this happened so I was in the homeless shelter some guy pulls up
and asks me and some other guy if we wanted to move his stuff from his house
to his new apartment so I need to pay us 25 bucks for an hour to an hour and a
half of work pretty sweet deal and I needed the money so obviously I said yes
the guy who went with me was in his 50s and I was in my early 20s small white
kid he kept making me look dumb and slow doing everything faster than me and
criticizing every little move even the guy who owned this stuff said he didn't
know what he was on I mean this dude jogged down on the stairs carrying some
pictures to the U-Haul whatever not gonna lose my crap because some random
dude's having a bad day I realized later the reasoning behind it when he asked
for fifty dollars instead of 25 because he did my work for me go figure anyway
we were almost done just carrying the fridge down the stairs it was already
sketchy in itself going downstairs with a fridge on a dolly he was again trying
to make it look like he did all the work
trying to push the dolly down the stairs by himself I offered to help on the
other side but all he said was no you're just going to mess it all up just hold
the cord in the back I could already see where this was going but heck what do I
know he gets about halfway down and the fridge fell off the dolly and hit the
wall he tried blaming me saying that's why you should go on the other side to
help but I played the innocent part oh I'm sorry I was just listening to you I
had no idea you knew I was playing dumb but he just gave me a stare because he
knew he was in the wrong the owner of the house came down and asked what
happened I told him I just held the cord
the other guy dropped the fridge he knew what probably happened what would the
other guy giving me a hard time and everything made him pay 50 bucks for the
damages basically 25 since he still gave him 25 dollars for the work he also
didn't give me a hard time after that I think he learned his lesson honestly I
respect the Hustle but clearly they did it in a very unsafe and dumb way also hi
I'm Stephen and if you enjoy awesome stories of compliance why not hit that
subscribe button down below that said our next story is boss says I should
quit because they like spending time on Hobbies so I did I was working for a
startup engineering firm working as a piping design engineer but since it was
a startup firm we didn't have a lot of Manpower and the ones we had weren't as
qualified either I was one of the very few qualified enough to handle a team of
my own the boss trusted me with almost everything
I was like the second in command after the boss only because I was managing a
lot of things on the side as a voluntary basis things like paycheck balancing
client meetings quality assurance documentation and other stuff which you
should have hired someone else to do I was good at it and he took full
advantage of it by giving me things to do that was never under my job
description one day he had this bright idea that we should revamp our website
to attract more clients and he gave this project to his nephew who had just
graduated from college as a developer of
sorts after a week or so the nephew came up with the first draft of the website
and the boss was fairly disappointed as it didn't look anywhere near to what he
expected he then called me in and asked me if I knew anything about website
design at that time I was very much interested in UI ux and was doing an
online course to learn about it more so I told him that I'll see what I can do
I've spent the next week for goal making a proper information architecture wire
frames and color guidelines that the nephew could pick up and build the
website from scratch in the end the website looked futuristic and the boss
was pretty happy but during the week my other responsibilities were put in a
backlog and it just kept piling on I knew I'd be able to cover it once I'm
done with the website and didn't pay too much attention to it the next week my
boss caught up with the backlog and called me into his cabin he started
yelling at me for all the responsibilities that I didn't attend to
I calmly told them that I was working on the website and it's not a big deal I
told them that I would clear it out as soon as possible but he wasn't happy he
asked me why I spent so much time doing something that isn't even my
responsibility I told him I was learning about UI and ux and was pretty much
interested to learn more I obviously never thought about pursuing it as a
career because frankly I was a mechanical engineer by qualification and
didn't think jumping to it would be easy the boss snapped and told me that I
should quit and pursue my hobby as a living He said only then will I
understand how lucky I am to have a job that pays I kind of got offended because
one he doesn't even pay me the worth of things I do for the company he knew I
could cover and yet took this as an opportunity to discipline me I stepped
out of this cabin went to my desk and put in my resignation and went home he
called me a couple of times asked me to revoke my resignation and then made
other people from the organization call me to convince me to come back I wasn't
having it at all it's been two years now I decided to pursue UI ux as a career
now and I'm working as a product designer and one of the biggest
organizations in the country with a pay that's almost 300 percent more than what
I was getting as a mechanical engineer personally I'm of the opinion that life
is short you only get one go around and if there is something that you are
legitimately passionate about something that you wake up and you would love to
do every single day you should try to go
for it by all means I think you're lucky if you have something that you know you
would love to do I would hate for anybody to feel like they've passed up
an opportunity to at least try to pursue it this next story is husband complies
with wife's demand my favorite example of malicious compliance happened about
10 years ago I'm a dentist and one Saturday morning I got a call on myself
from an older patient of mine we're closed on the weekends doc I've got a
tooth that's just killing me he said I told him I lived just 10 minutes down
the road so why doesn't he just come in and I'll see if I could get him out of
pain at least nah doc he replied I've got some Jack Daniels here and I'm doing
just fine my wife told me I had to call you so I did I'll call your office
Monday morning and see you then then he hung up still one of my favorite
patients and favorite story to tell I guess you got a little bit of that apply
as needed medicine let's be real though a op seems like a good dentist and B
tooth pain isn't anything to mess around with so I really hope until Monday that
that Jack Daniels can really hold them over this next story is they refused me
in office I complied they regretted it I got my first grown-up job while I was
finishing my bachelor's degree I was just getting started in a highly
Technical and emerging field very few people back then were doing this kind of
work and I seem to have an aptitude for it which is probably why I got a job
before I had any credentials the department I was hired for was brand new
and had the potential to take customers from other departments while also
generating net new business interestingly the other departments have
been offered the opportunity to start the service themselves but refused even
actively trying to prevent it from happening that's the reason I ended up
in a malicious compliant situation the leaders of all the other departments
conspired to prevent me from getting in office I didn't understand it first
because at that age I didn't imagine professionals did Petty immature things
when I realized what was happening I knew they'd get exposed if I went along
with it so I happily did my job wherever I could find a place which often ended
up being in the mail room where lots of people would notice I hoped maybe the
leaders would start to feel guilty or annoyed and change their minds or they'd
be caught by their bosses either way problem solved for me without a fight
little did I know how well it would go I
started to be well liked by a lot of the
leaders because I helped them with their computers there was one leader who's
still inexplicably hated me I never spoke with him not even one word but he
continued to insist that I didn't need an office I wasn't even the love of a
secretary according to him which I took as a dig in my lack of a degree I heard
about him saying that from a friend who was in the meeting when they talked
about changing their minds it's too bad for them that they didn't change their
minds because the president came through
the mail room multiple times and finally stopped clearly annoyed why don't you
work in your office that was my golden moment I had complied politely with not
having an office I sweetly told the president I don't have an office they
said what why not I said there isn't room no space available they say
according to whom I say Mr so and so they say but you've been working here
for what three months they could have found a space for you by now who the
president was beat red at that point I just smiled and said my understanding is
there is no space the president literally stomped upstairs to the
offices of Mr so and so I distinctly heard the yelling from downstairs people
outside probably heard it the president came and brought me upstairs to the
conference room where the leaders were all seated looking down there were a
pile of Ease on the table I was afraid at that point was she having me pick
someone's office to take well that might have been a Sweet Revenge it wouldn't
have been good for my working relationships with any of them but no
she handed me a key to the conference room and said this is your office she
scooped up the rest of the keys which I learned later were all their copies of
the key to the conference room and said your office is the largest office on
campus even bigger than mine enjoy and she walked out that was probably the
best drop the mic moment I've ever seen in my life and the story ends with my
compliance not only winning me that office but all of the other leaders
except Mr so and so becoming great colleagues although there might be some
oversight issues being exposed here I think we can all agree that is a great
leader in this place there's no greater way that you can make up for this than
that President giving you something that is honestly beyond what you could have
even have asked for our next story is you only want certified mail okay I once
worked for a company that provides therapy to Children the company owner
was not licensed or credentialed to do this but I am so he hired me I got hired
did my job supervise the other workers kept all files electronically and kept
the data up to date everything was HIPAA compliant As Time passed I found out
that he was committing insurance fraud I knew I wanted to report him and quit
however due to the type of therapy I do I didn't want to leave the clients
without therapy they didn't do anything wrong I decided to give my boss a four
weeks notice so he could hire someone else and I could transfer care properly
my boss didn't like this plan or the fact that I wanted to quit so he
terminated me on the spot I thought this was Reckless of him seeing that now he
had no one on his staff who could lead legally supervise the therapy and sign
off on clinical notes I was the only one who could when he fired me he started
slandering my name and telling lies about me I work in a small area where
everyone in my field knows everyone else in the field and I wasn't about to have
my reputation tarnished due to his lives
I hired an attorney to write a cease and desist letter it was sent to him via
certified mail he didn't like this either he reached out to me and said the
company needed all of their materials back as well as client data he said he
would only accept it in certified mail of course I wanted to send the books and
materials I had back to him as well as transfer the data to him but it didn't
make sense to send hard copies of the data it would be a lot easier to
securely email The graft data I had it would also make it easier on whomever
took over my caseload as the data system in graphs would already be set up for
them I tried to explain this in my email
reply but he wasn't having it he replied
I will no longer reply to you I told you to send all materials in certified mail
and that's what I expect to happen few malicious compliance I printed all of
the raw data and graphs I had this ended up being about 200 Pages worth of
information when it printed it looked all wonky and extremely difficult to
read across that many pages as I was packing the books materials and 200
pages of printed data into the box to be sent I accidentally dropped it and the
paper scattered everywhere I picked them up but they were all out of order and
impossible to tell how to put them back in order so I just boxed everything up
out of order and sent it to him certified mail with signature I know he
received the package I don't know what he had the person he hired after me do
because what was sent to him was unusable hard to read Prince of the data
the only thing that I think could have been done was to have the new person
recreate the entire system decipher the order of the 200 pages of data and input
it manually this would take many months maybe next time he won't be such a jerk
and he'll listen when his employee says it doesn't make sense to send hard
copies of the data does anybody else think that this company regardless
should not exist and that op should report them to somebody honestly I feel
like op should just destroy whatever copies of the data they had not forward
it on and just cease and desist any slanderous claims that they made
actually it turns out that op reported them to an insurance fraud investigator
the company mysteriously disappeared and then that guy opened up a new company
later on so I guess this guy will continue running through traffic until
eventually he does get hit if you say so I'll comply end the end we all get
screwed tiny bit of pertinent information in 2014 I had a C-section to
bring my son into the world I was let go
from my previous job because they didn't
want the liability if something happened to a pregnant woman on the job I was
rehired by the fast food company where I held my very first job which is not
McDonald's it's a bit higher price than that where you could get fried chicken a
hot dog and a double cheeseburger at the
same time there will be no mention of my child's father because he wasn't there
for us I lived with my eldest sister who was more like a mom to me which is why
she's mentioned in the story she was the person I had with me when I had my
c-section she has been the one there for my son every moment of his life my
doctor said if I was going back to work before his recommended four to six weeks
of healing time and rest that I had to be on light duty and that I was not to
lift more than the weight of my son which was six pounds the story I was
rehired by a fast food company that was always extremely busy at each major
point in the Day lunch made over eight hundred dollars between noon and 1pm and
dinner made over 700 from 5 PM to 6 p.m of note the only reason I was rehired
was because hiring manager Loved Me To Pieces when I left the first time she
told me that I always had a job with her
because she loved my work ethic she said that I was the best worker she had had
in years nobody ever picked up extra shifts as quickly as I did nobody cared
to learn as fast as I did so since I had the previous experience they wanted me
to work lunch rush but I begged them to let me work dinner dinner would allow me
to spend quality time with my newborn and my sister who I lived with would be
home from her job to take care of my son while I worked now I started a month
after my c-section right wrong I started
two and a half weeks later if I didn't I
couldn't be hired I'd actually gone back to my doctor and asked his office to
write a full letter explaining my light duty require tournaments and took it
with me my first day back I walk into the manager's office expecting to see my
hiring manager or at least the manager I
recognized nope enter stupid manager who had worked as an hourly employee at
another location and thought she knew better than everyone I handed stupid
manager my doctor's note and she looked at it like she was holding a dirty baby
diaper I asked her to make sure hiring manager sees it and she doesn't respond
I shrug it off and walked to the back where the break room was I saw that all
of my co-workers were the same from the last time I'd worked there and they all
crowded around me to see baby photos I was crying the entire time because it
felt like a homecoming it felt like I was finally surrounded by a support
system until stupid managers screamed that we needed to get to work when there
wasn't even a customer we all scattered like flies and made ourselves look busy
I'd kept my phone in my pocket before clocking in and I periodically checked
it always between customers to make sure nothing had happened to my son while I
was gone I would think most maybe not all managers would have understood that
I hadn't been texting just quickly checking for new notifications but not
stupid manager she hated it she'd been sitting in the office checking the
cameras and I suppose I had checked my phone one too many times yay postpartum
depression and anxiety stupid manager came flying around the corner at light
speed and stared daggers at me op what the freak do you think you're doing you
can't be on the phone while you're clocked in you should know this already
now I'd never been one to deal well with
being yelled at so I just started saying I was sorry some of my co-workers stood
up for me which again made me cry stupid manager apparently hated crying too she
turned back to me shooting the same daggers into my soul what the freak are
you crying about now thank thankfully a customer walked in so she just stormed
off I saw red within the hour I'd watched her start getting ready to leave
her shift which I thought was a blessing of course it wasn't enter lazy manager
who had had issues with the last time I'd worked there not that I said
anything she just never worked she sat in the office staring at the cameras
eating food from the line which the company said is illegal you don't get
free food you get a discount on food did she ever pay for it not once she wrote
it off as part of the end of the day throw away food I can't remember what
it's actually called on the end of day report lazy manager saw me and her face
fell oh hey Hazel she said with disdain I put on the sweetest smile and
attempted to make small talk with stupid manager but they made a major mistake
they left the door cracked and wouldn't you know it I worked on the side of the
line closest to the door where I could hear everything thing this is how it
went lazy manager said I thought hiring manager told her no stupid manager said
I guess not she's been on her phone all day they say of course she was she's the
worst employee we've ever had uh I'll call hiring manager and figure this out
I've never disliked someone like I dislike her stupid says she seems pretty
lazy oh here's her pitiful doctor's note lazy says we'll see how well that works
it's not like we've never had kids before now that fully pissed me off but
I bit my tongue I waited for what I knew was coming I knew exactly what I was
going to do because I was just plain sick of being bad-mouthed by others
stupid manager leaves and lazy manager calls me to the office I was in the
middle of making an order but she is the manager after all I left that poor
person's order sitting right on the line and walked to the office yes lazy
manager she doesn't even look up for from the computer op what's this
doctor's note for I just take my phone out of my pocket and try to show her
pictures of my son they say oh you had a
kid and a tone that implied nobody would want to be with me or something I smile
sweetly and Nod a plan working itself out in my head fast forward four days
lazy manager hasn't been helping us close the store at all and I've been
getting home after 2 A.M every day from a place that closes at 10 on weekdays 11
on weekends I'm done my sister can't keep taking care of my child like this
and it's completely unfair lazy manager is working again and we're really busy I
gotta put fries in the fryer because our fry cook is busy making chicken tenders
I open the little freezer beside the fryers and it's empty which I knew it
would be because I never saw anyone put a new box in huh that sucks hey we're
out of fries out here I yell no response hey co-workers fry cook's busy and we
need fries out here nothing odd oh well hey lazy manager we need fries out here
lazy manager opens the office door get them yourself Opie I walk over to the
office and say lazy manager I can't my doctor said I can't lift more than six
pounds lazy manager rolls their eyes and looks dead at me look go get the darn
fries out of the freezer now two boxes I don't care about this my doctor said
crap do it and stay the heck off your phone and there it was my opportunity
for malicious compliance I walk into the freezer and look at the box of french
fries hmm I really shouldn't this could be detrimental to my health according to
my doctor but a lazy manager said so now I'd noticed that morning that a couple
of my stitches hadn't start dissolving yet so I'd already called and scheduled
an appointment about two weeks early this was all lining up perfectly I I
grabbed that fry box on the bottom shelf and shifted it where I could read its
way I wasn't supposed to be on my phone but she obviously couldn't see me in the
freezer I snapped a picture of the box I sent it to my sister with the message
manager told me I have no choice but to do this myself doesn't believe my
doctor's note at all can't respond she won't let me use my phone anymore either
I made sure the message was sent and then switched my phone off grabbed that
fry box and lifted it and carried it to the little freezer 20 feet away I'll say
one thing for adrenaline it definitely works to numb the pain until it wears
off I felt a wetness in my pants and excused myself to the break room not the
bathroom that was too private for this I
turned where the cameras couldn't see me and looked at my pants blood I was
bleeding but from where oh that's right the stitches that hadn't started healing
yet but there was another pain I'd never
experienced I walked a lazy manager with a nap skin covered in blood thankfully
the line wasn't anywhere near the office
I would never contaminate someone's food because of course I try to stop the
bleeding I was immediately sent home to my sister who was in a severe panic over
the message I called my doctor's office with 10 minutes to spare and explain the
situation and was scheduled for the following day and told to go to the
hospital if the bleeding continued my sister and I bandaged me up to the best
of our ability and I waited for my appointment when my doctor found out why
I still picked up that fry box he sounded more like a concerned Father
Figure when he said I'll handle it but I
assured him I had it myself all I needed
from him was a doctor's note you see I'd found out that hiring manager who was
also the store manager who was lined up to become district manager had come back
from vacation she was actually scheduled
for the following day and I was supposed to work I walked no I waddled into that
store in in the uniform doctor's note clutched in one hand the other grabbing
every solid surface it could to absorb some of the shock of movement she took
one look at me and guided me to a chair in the break room concern written all
over her face Hazel what happened so I told her everything she asked me if I
ever gave either manager a doctor's note and I said that I had she couldn't find
it but she didn't need to what a lazy manager and stupid manager didn't know
was that my sister had a printer that could scan documents and we had a weird
feeling that we would need a copy of the first doctor's note so not only did I
have a new note clutched in my hand but stapled to it was a copy of the original
note that told the managers that I was supposed to be on light duty because if
I ripped a stitch it could lengthen my healing process the new note explained
that since I was not given light duty I not only ripped this Stitch but pulled a
few muscles in my lower body when hiring manager read both notes she was Furious
she checked the schedule and when she saw neither of the other managers were
working she called them both in for a meeting she asked me if I would stay for
said meeting and that I could sit in the office in her comfy desk chair while we
waited I took that seat and waited for the show 30 minutes later hiring manager
was giving them an earful telling them they had no right to disregard doctor's
orders and that they should have never have told me to stop being on my phone
turns out hiring manager had worked for this establishment when she had her
youngest child so she knew the anxiety of being away from a newborn for too
long I watched stupid manager get fired on the spot but not lazy manager lazy
manager was demoted to line cook because hiring manager told her she needed to
relearn some humility she worked as a line cook at another store for about a
month and then was fired for stealing food I Gotta Give it to op they
committed harder here than I ever would have but also hey I'm Steven and if

subscribe button down below that said our final story of the days from Soul
dahlhausen my it director's emails look awfully suspicious three months ago my
company had a two hour long seminar about email phishing and how to prevent
it this seminar also included an update to our email software our software has a
preview feature if you hover over a link it opens a preview of the link anyway I
got an email from Our IT director saying I was in violation of their internet
policy by using social media a main part
of my job and I was stupid and opened it it was a phishing test and they made me
do another two hour long seminar that week I get the following email from our
director sent with high importance subject phishing email test hello
everyone this is a reminder to stay aware of phishing emails please review
the PDF guide and take a short quiz link
to test your skills by 5 pm thank you it director's name now on this email
attachment one of the signs to report an
email is if it's pressuring you to click a link so I feel like I should report
this as fishing so I did I get this email from the director one hour later
subject reporting emails hello everyone we've received numerous phishing reports
about the email about the phishing quiz please note any email sent from insert
IT director email here is not fishing we've included a new link for your
convenience thank you it director name now to me this email looks even more
suspicious than the last one so I do the natural thing and report it to stay
vigilant I've been doing this for over two months and everyone keeps getting an
email saying that this Gmail is not phishing please don't make us sit
through two hour seminars I mean it's one thing if you have two hour seminars
that are like mandated by HR or even like a legal thing like a workplace
harassment type thing sure it seems logical and seems unavoidable but this
is like as a kid being woken up an extra two hours early before school to have a
whole seminar about how you need to tie your shoes before you leave it's like we
get it it's Common Sense how much can you really go over in two hours anyways
start using icebreakers to talk to customers to get them to buy stuff you
got it this story is over a decade old back when I was fresh out of college and
dedicated to doing nothing important for as long as possible I worked for an
electronics store a big one and I lasted there for about 18 months before I
realized I was wasting my time on garbage pay that I ended up blowing on
games and movies my manager Bob but not really was a pretty decent guy and I
never had too many any complaints about him although he was wasted at that
particular store because he was a pretty
good manager I could tell he was getting a lot of flack from the GM gym because
home theater me sales were stagnant clarification good but not growing and
not hitting our ridiculous quotas I worked in the mornings until afternoons
when there were maybe 10 people visiting that apartment in total and you could
tell that eight of them were just watching TV waiting for their spouse's
cell phone plan to be activated unfortunately since there was so little
foot traffic Management's decision was to drill into us how to use every
marketing and customer manipulation tactic to encourage people to buy things
I was a good salesperson and I could sell the crap out of home theater using
tactics such as getting customers to use
their imagination about their options or presenting new options in ways they
hadn't considered I listened I learned about their needs and what they were
looking for and they frequently left the store with something completely
different than what they thought they needed I recall that the number of
returns I had was so small that I could probably count them on both hands over
18 months I however was completely freaking disinterested in marketing
tactics sales tactics or manipulating customers for up sales this meant
upselling or changing how I communicated with them to speak their language in a
way that marketing showed increased sales but was blatantly manipulative
screw that so when Jim tells Bob about their new push to encourage customers to
buy things they normally wouldn't buy he
knows I'm going to be a challenge but he does a pretty good job at trying to
convince me he comes to me and we have a floor meeting and he asks me to try
breaking the ice with the customers by chatting them up a little about topics
unrelated to their viewing habits home theater Etc to get them to like me
enough to want to make a purchase malicious compliance time I was ready to
quit and move on and I was no longer interested in playing the game he wanted
me to try breaking the ice with people so I started flirting with all the
customers black white guy girl rich not rich old not old everyone got a smile
and a compliment about their outfit and I'd compare them to a celebrity they
reminded me of if possible I was good at it too I kept it completely mild and
inoffensive our uniforms were blah and I wasn't really trying but on more than
one occasion a bored older woman or housewife gave me their phone number our
overall number started going down because I was busy chatting with
customers than making sales So eventually I got hit with a secret
shopper and The Jig was up Bob finds this out from Jim and I can hear him
laughing from across the store before coming to my department to ask me to go
to the back of the store for a private meeting he wrote me up for inappropriate
appropriate Communications with customers I told them I wouldn't sign
the write-up report because I'd received no directive saying I couldn't flirt
with customers I wasn't violating the employee handbook I made sure and I
never said anything that was offensive or sexual even though several customers
took it in that direction but more importantly I was giving my two weeks
notice but if the write-up was a deal breaker I could leave now Bob was sad
that I was leaving but understood Jim was pissed that I was leaving because I
was a good earner even though that apartment goals were ridiculous there's
not a lesson from this for the managers out there so don't read into it I was an
acerbic donkey so I'm going to read into
it and what you're telling me is workers should flirt with the customers more I
think I'm getting the picture here also hi I'm Steven and if you enjoy awesome
stories of malicious compliance why not hit that subscribe button down below
that's it our next story is want me out of the bathroom no problem so so this is
actually my sister's story but she doesn't have Reddit and I love her story
so much it's kind of long but it's great okay so my sister's always been a sweet
people-pleasing type of person she's always willing to stop what she's doing
to help anyone even if she's not having a great day she'll still help out and
not halfway do it well this day she was really not having a great day she was at
work and it was sucking because she was the only one doing anything while her
other co-workers just stood around when her shift was about to end she was asked
to do one last thing clean the two bathrooms now at her work there's two
bathrooms both just have one toilet one son said family restroom they just call
it the women's and the other sign says men's restroom I know it's weird but
they just had the one restroom originally so they put in another
bathroom when they expanded and called it the men's so anyways she's almost
done cleaning the women's restroom when a woman walked up behind her she totally
tells my sister to get out because she needs in there my sister kindly told her
that she was cleaning them but was almost finished and then she would leave
well the woman told her no and to just hurry up and leave my sister told her
that it's totally okay for her to use the other restroom as they were both the
same and no one really cares the lady again said that she didn't want to use
the men's and insisted that she get out of her way normally I think my sister
would have just left but since the lady was being so rude she decided to keep
cleaning until she was done so finally all my sister had to do was restock the
toilet paper because it was empty which she told the woman waiting while the
woman told her not to and it just hurry up and get out of her way so my sister
did she got up grabbed the roll of toilet paper and walked out of the
restroom then she turned around to the woman held out the toilet paper and said
okay well the restroom's open now but if you're going to wipe with your hands
just make sure to please wash them before you leave thank you definitely
something she would normally never do but I'm so proud of her anyway I am
willing to bet though that on average that women's restroom's cleaner than the
men's restroom I mean doubly so considering they were just finishing up
on cleaning it but in a way I don't blame them considering they're most
likely going to be sitting or close to it and also I mean sometimes situations
are dire so if there was ever a time where I feel like it might be slightly
acceptable to be a bit rude or Curt it would be when times of the essence when
you need to use a restroom the Phantom Rider I was working as a low-level
Security Supervisor at a hotel that had a bar slash nightclub on site I had some
serious problems with the bar manager who the staff had given her the nickname
of Miss Piggy Miss Piggy was known to sleep with some of the guards how to
remove two of them for fighting one night when they both found out they were
both banging her she was also known to drink on the job give away food and
drinks and was a constant pain in my butt because I did my job during the
week the bar area was dead so it was usually me and the two other guards who
worked on the site this night was no different but Miss Piggy was in one of
her moods she had caught one of my guards on their cell phone while sitting
down at a table in the empty bar area Miss Piggy Stomps over and demands I
write up this guard well I've had my problems with her she was right about
the guard being on his phone I go to my bag and I pull out two write-up forms
and two pens I give a form and a pen to the guard and tell him that he has to
write himself up and that I'm going to do the same and they better match we
separately work on the write-ups and in about five minutes he comes to get me
where I'm smoking a cigarette I noticed his write-up was a lot worse than the
one I wrote up and I asked what do you think would happen if I happened to send
them in he responds I would get fired I flipped that back Miss Piggy caught you
and demanded you be written up would you agree that you got written up they said
yeah this is the write-up you did for me I said I understand this is a boring
night but you need to at least look like you're watching things I hand him back
his right up and tell him that if I catch you doing this again I'm going to
have to send this into the office for them to decide what happens I'll have no
choice in the matter if you need a break or change of scenery just let me know
and I'll try to make it happen come to find out later that the guard turned
down Miss Piggy so she wanted him off the side and fired I did write him up I
just never sent it in this became known as my Phantom write-up as a way to warn
guards without involving management oversight I placed it as a step or two
above the verbal warning but below an official writer turns out that upper
management absolutely loved the concept of it as if I had to send in a write-up
the one written by the offender was a signed confession this story honestly
sounds like a Kindergarten class punishment Like Somebody went and broke
all the classroom provided crayons in half so they've got to go sit off to the
side and write down what they did Honestly though I think what op did is
fair and should probably be the norm why should anybody be fired after getting
one write-up no OT but you won't swap me to day shift okay boss my work Aviation
was on a no overtime at all rut for a while in 2021 no biggie to most of us
but the bosses were strict with every single minute because the higher ups
were watching the time charging as well to make sure no overtime was being
clocked I got a new job within my company that was requiring me to move I
was working second shift 2 pm to 11 pm Monday to Friday at the time so when I'd
get to work and answer all the HR emails I would be behind on the checklist I'd
have to complete prior to moving so I did the logical thing and emailed my
then supervisor and asked to be transferred to day shift so I could be
in the building during the daytime to talk to HR otherwise I was going to miss
my transfer date my supervisor emails me back and says you have a company a
laptop now answer those emails from your house I'm not swapping you to day shift
I responded okay so I began my day at nine o'clock so I could email and teams
chat with various HR reps during the day and then go to work in the afternoon I
logged every minute and being that I had a company laptop I know that they can
see my login activity so I would have backup if they tried to claim I was
stealing time fast forward a week in the site manager supervisor's boss pulls me
into his office and wants to know why I have almost 20 hours of overtime for the
previous week when we aren't allowed any overtime I explained to him that I was
given permission from the supervisor the side manager calls the supervisor in
supervisor says he gave no such permission I tell them both about the
email response offer to send it to them and print it up should they need my
supervisor got as red as a fire truck the side manager said your overtime is
approved moved and kicked me out of the office asking me to close the door as I
left I received a text message two hours later informing me I was to start day
shift immediately screw them all I think this is one of the most annoying things
about the modern day with social media with phones being basically expected
some companies expect you to just always be available I fully maintain that if
you have to answer emails or take phone calls outside of work not during your
normal hours you deserve some kind of on-call fee for sure that said our final
story of the day is death by Mountain Dew this is a funny story about kids and
soda pop so a few years ago when my five kids were still at home my brother got
himself in trouble and his four kids had
to come live with us we started having a lot of issues with all of the kids just
helping themselves to whatever treats we
would buy so if we went shopping and got
some soda to last a couple of weeks they might drink it all when we weren't home
and then blame each other for it so one day we were at the big warehouse store
and they had a pallet of Mountain Dew on clearance for 39 cents per bottle my
wife and I looked at each other and devised a devilish plan we bought the
entire palette yes it barely fit in our Mazda CX-9 the store workers laughed at
us we got home and had the kids come and unload the vehicle we explained that
they could now drink as much soda as they wanted but we only had the one
flavor and they had to drink all of it before we would buy any more soda of
course they initially thought that they had scored big time a month in and they
were done daily complaints begging for forgiveness swearing that they would
never drink Mountain Dew again after that it was a good couple years before
we had to start rationing their soda allowance again as as somebody who has
admittedly had more than their fair share of soda in their days I think the
kids fatal mistake here was settling on Mountain Dew I mean I guess it was up to
the parents the palette of Mountain Dew was on clearance so they got that but
I'm of the opinion and maintain that one Mountain Dew is already kind of enough
like once you get through two cans of Mountain Dew I'm already feeling like
done with soda I feel totally gummed up and slow and lethargic I don't know what
it is about regular Mountain Dew for me but regular Mountain Dew just makes me
feel like totally all around gummed up and slow and I mean if this was
literally anything else like a Pepsi or even like a Sprite honestly I bet that
soda allowance thing would be totally different it's just they settled on
drinking loads and loads of that super super syrupy sweet Mountain Dew okay
what do you want in the letter when I was a young lad I worked in student
conduct at a college for folks unaware conduct is a fairly complex part of
higher education where we have to comply
with College policies federal laws state laws and various Court rulings one of
our policies was that if a student was a threat to the safety of the campus we
could remove them temporarily from the dorms from a class or from the entire
campus our policy said that we should be careful to only remove students from
areas where they present a risk that's basically a fancy way of saying don't
kick them out entirely if we're moving from the dorms or class is enough the
prior five or six times we thought a student was a risk they were removed
from campus entirely I hated this since the students weren't threats to
classmates sometimes so my turn comes around to decide if a student is a risk
or not and how to proceed I decide she did present a risk to the dorms possibly
selling drugs but not the rest of the campus since all the sales allegedly
were in her dorm room the college lawyer was not pleased with this he calls the
dean of students the dean calls my director my director calls me since my
decision made bias my director when he meets the student later general counsel
says I can't discuss the case with the director and to look for an email from
general counsel general counsel starts bearing down on me asking for policy
citations my rationale asking if I consider the police reports which I
hadn't been given prior to hearing the student's side and saying the student
was known to sell in the dorms for years I refuse to change my decision and
general counsel got Furious he tried to drop some orders but couldn't since I
don't report to him at any point plus I had policy on my side breaking them
opens up all sorts of lawsuit potential but tired of his lambasting I decided to
offer some compliance General you clearly have an outcome in mind send me
the language you want in the letter to remove the student from campus entirely
and I'll send it on your behalf half an hour later he replies that I don't have
permission to use use his name on anything and that he'll speak with the
dean I never heard back from general counsel before he was let go during the
pandemic and have his email tacked up at
my desk to remember the time I outplayed
a lawyer this goes without saying but if you're asked to do something that is
clearly against the Norms or the rules as they're usually stated make sure you
get that in writing from whatever Authority is ordering that also hi I'm

story is cardboard boxes and tape will not protect us from the hurricane a bit
of background info are you stupid and I've experienced almost every hurricane
that ever passed through here this story takes place in South Florida in an
apartment complex our apartment has a glass screen sliding back door that
leads to a small balcony behind the building on the first floor this was
more than five years ago as the eldest in a single mother family I I am the de
facto head of the household father was not in the picture I don't remember the
name of the hurricane we were waiting for but there we were my mother my
sister and myself in the living room thinking how would we protect the glass
green door from the hurricane force winds coming soon I forget if it was my
mother or my sister's genius idea but the idea was to cover the outside of the
window with cardboard boxes and tape not even duct tape transparent tape it was
all we had I sort of looked at them with a confused look and asked how is the
cardboard gonna protect the window glass sliding door from the hurricane are we
using anti-hurricane tape my mother and sister get mad and give some illogical
reason as to why it would work I shake my head still confused and explained
that this isn't gonna do diddly squat I trust I don't need to explain to anyone
why this wouldn't work my sister gets really mad and says instead of
criticizing our ideas why don't you just hell my mother on her side yells to me
also help your sister this will work you
malicious compliance at this day and age the wise ones know there's no arguing
with idiots not to call my family members idiots I love them but I mean
really cardboard and tape sometimes you gotta let people make mistakes so that
they can learn from them so I complied what do you need I say annoyed but
compliantly help us hold this cardboard up to the window I can fly together we
put a ton of flattened cardboard boxes on the window held together by a ton of
tape the entire time I was a robot complying with the commands given to me
inside knowing that as soon as the winds would come well you know even as we're
putting up the cardboard and tape all I hear is you're not the only smart one
everyone's ideas are valid my idea is good too it'll work when we finished we
all went inside to wait for the coming storm as the storm came and gradually
increased in strength we waited in the living room to see what would happen I
might need to add a disclaimer that we are all Floridians and Latinos we are
totally comfortable with hurricanes when they come we don't hide in the bathtub
we throw parties we're all ready to meet our maker so I hope I don't need to
explain the culture behind why Floridians do this or offend anyone who
may not understand why we're not huddled together holding hands Waiting for the
End also I'm pretty sure it was a low category hurricane the ones we typically
party in if it's a cat four or five then yeah we would be praying for Mercy
anyway as the winds pick up lo and behold what do you think happens the
softest gust of wind or maybe the accumulated water everywhere turns the
cardboard and tape to Mush it slides off
and plops down into a pile of trash just
outside the window with the most deadpan
look I slowly turn my head to look at my mother and sister the look of
embarrassment on their faces was priceless the silence was deafening I
didn't even have to say anything all I did was look back at the window and sigh
we didn't even bring it up anymore well as expected the hurricane came and went
completely forgot the name of the one that happened during this story as
always flooding downed trees trash everywhere typical hurricane damage the
story essentially ends there I think from this point onwards I always bring
up the story when my family doesn't listen to me I remind them who's the
genius and then they do listen and you know what their lives are the better for
it now so I think there's maybe like some preconception of the idea of
putting cardboard on the inside of the glass but that's just in case like the
glass shatters it should hopefully prevent most of the glass from like
flying in but as far as external protection especially in a hurricane
where rain will probably go sideways for a while it's a pretty low IQ move our
next story is I can put up a poster enjoy your allergies instead I work in
an office building think a maze of cubicles and a floor rented by the
company but owned by the building my supervisor is a ward in wannabe and for
that we'll call him Warden he betrolls the cubicles looking for any excuse to
verbally degrade anyone phone buzzing he'll pay you a visit getting up for the
bathroom he'll be waiting for you to get back you get the picture recently the
building moved us to the first floor to make some repairs to what I believe was
the sprinkler system in AC we were the smallest company on the floor so we got
put into what I assume used to be some room to house custodial or mechanical
supplies it's small nearly all concrete and smells like chemicals and rust in
the new floor there's a hole in the wall I'm up against it's an ugly concrete
indented whole it's like someone cut a one foot by one foot by one foot cube
out of the wall I hate wasting space so I asked the warden if I could put up a
small poster to cover it up he immediately told me it was against
company policy and that I should check company policy before asking such stupid
questions cue malicious compliance I contacted HR and asked them on the rules
on Plants really I just walked over and asked nicely they replied that as long
as the plant was an egregious in size or
in poor health plants were allowed a few days after ward in a nice conversation
I'd put a small potted plant of ragweed in the hole if you aren't familiar with
Ragweed it's a pretty bad allergen and wouldn't you know it but the warden has
an allergy to pollen and this plant triggered it he was reaming when he saw
it and yelled at me to get rid of it but I told him I checked with HR and it was
approved he ended up leaving in the early afternoon due to feeling on well
the warden avoided my area for a while after that the Ragweed ended up growing
to be about a foot tall before I planted
it in a bigger pot on my back deck where
it flourished for the rest of the season I know it's not as intense as some of
the other stories in here but I'm just so glad to finally get my chance to get
one on Warden after all he's done to me I just don't understand people like
Warden like I know they have a job to do but it feels like they have fun by not
having fun or by making sure nobody else
has remotely any good amount of a time I just couldn't imagine being somebody
that walks around policing everybody saying no no you can't do that don't you
dare put a poster up there how dare you take a bathroom break just how bland and
sad is your existence that said our final story of the day is my boss asked
me to recruit unqualified people for a health care job I used to work at a home
health facility that did some pretty terrible things but that's another story
I was hired as a caregiver but my role was more of a combined performing the
tasks of a caregiver and administrative tasks such as payroll filing documents
contacting people of importance for our clients and facility Etc all for minimum
wage I might add but this was my first job so I wanted to do the most so I
could use them as a reference in the future my boss is not very tech savvy
and doesn't really understand the most efficient way to go about things for
example she had us clock in and out using an Excel sheet rather than using a
payroll system because it was too complicated to set up nonetheless one of
the tasks she gave me was to send out requests for work to people applying on
a certain job website rather than post the business on the website she would
just send requests to people that labeled themselves as looking for work
she thought this could save the company money and that this was faster than
waiting for people to apply if you've applied through a job listing website
and received those pre-written check out this job opportunity at X company we
were basically doing that I thought it would be more beneficial to sort the
potential recruits in certain categories by using the site's keyword finder to
look for applicants with terms like caregiver or Behavioral Health to yield
a better pool of candidates doing this method of mindlessly sending out emails
I would pump out around four to five hundred emails to qualified candidates
and we'd receive maybe five to six interested applicants and of those
applicants no one was interested in the job because of the abysmal amount of
work that we had to put in my boss was not happy and asked me to show her how
I'd been doing this process she told me I had to pick up the pace because I
didn't hire you to Slack off but I wasn't I was making sure we only got
applicants that I thought would either be interested in this line of work or
were experienced to give the residents the care they needed she wanted more
applicants fine I turned off the filter and started sending out requests to all
available people had a degree in engineering here's a request past work
experience as a line chef and a five-star restaurant here's a request I
sent out over 2 000 of those pre-written emails in a day and before anyone asks
the site had this function that allowed us to put in a pre-written job
description as well as my boss's contact information so all I had to do was hit
send my boss came back near the end of my shift and asked how many emails I was
able to send out I told her a little over 2 000 she smiled and said do you
see what you can do when you put your mind to things I rolled my eyes and
clocked out the next day my boss looked drained remember when I said her contact
information was on those pre-written job descriptions it turns out that she had
been receiving notifications and non-stop either through email when
people reject or accept the job request or when people call her to inquire about
the job she told me why do I keep getting calls from people who have no
experience in healthcare about this job I just got a call from a security guard
asking if the position was still available keep in mind she can't just
put her phone on do not disturb because she's literally running a home health
facility so a call from a doctor or pharmacist regarding a change in patient
care cannot be ignored I guess she didn't get a lot of sleep that night but
that's not my problem so I continue to send more requests that
by the end of the day I had to apply a filter that screened candidates who had
not been active on the site for over a month just to get some new names to send
to I left shortly after this and I still have that pre-written email that was
sent to me before I started working there I hope there still is short
staffed as ever I'm of the opinion that if you're a business that is looking for
applicants but you can't even put in the
effort to put your business out there on
a basic job search website do you really deserve to be a flourishing business at
that rate if you need people who are interested in the jobs you're trying to
fill how is your thought process going to and we'll just send out some cheap
spam email and if they come in they come
in it's like no wonder you're struggling there's no care for their work or their
business can work on your laptop without my name badge guess it wasn't that
critical I worked for a university I.T Department as a student worker for a
little over four years we had a sister Department the media
center who loaned out laptops projectors and other technology to professors as
needed in my fourth year in employment I was on a first name basis with nearly
all of the employees of the University including the head of the media center
we'll call her Karen because obviously Karen was the queen of her kingdom and
had quite a few obnoxious rules in place but most importantly was an ironclad
employee ID policy for checking out laptops under normal circumstances I
completely agree with this policy however this wasn't a normal
circumstance we got a call from her at 4 40 on a Friday we closed at five then a
laptop she was trying to loan out to a very important Professor was unable to
log into the network and she requested that we come look at it sure thing I
make the 10 minute walk across campus from our office to the media center with
my tool kit when I get there I see the professor and Karen and asked to see the
laptop she says wait okay be you need your name badge where is it flash to my
name badge clip to my jacket hanging on a code rack in the it's office ah it's
on my jacket Karen I forgot to grab it rushing over here I chuckled a bit
deadpan she says op you can't work on this until you get your badge I said
Karen I thought this was an emergency do
you need me to fix this right now yes of course Kieran explained but we still
need to always follow policy fair enough policy is incredibly important I'll go
get my name badge I left the office tracked the 10 minutes back to my office
then I picked up the phone and called her hey Karen just letting you know that
because it's 5 20 and policy states student workers can work after hours
I'll have to come back Monday have a great weekend she fumed at me for a few
minutes until I essentially hung up on her policy is very important she was so
uptight she literally walked right into that one also so hi I'm Steven and if

below that said our next story of the day is from prune practical6489 wearing
sunglasses indoors I read someone else's Naval story and it reminded me of my
compliance story I used to really have trouble with light sensitivity likely
from leaving my contacts in way longer than I should have I finally ditched the
contacts all together and opted for glasses I opted for civilian glasses
rather than Navy issue because they were downright ugly the ones I picked had a
slight tint for indoor lighting and would get darker in sunlight for use
Outdoors you can still see my eyes clearly but I was really wearing almost
sunglasses indoors this setup was fine and dandy until I was stationed on my
ship my chief passed me in the corridor one day and stopped me voicing his
displeasure with my choice of eyewear demanding that I go to medical and get
Navy issue glasses to wear while on the boat while I wasn't happy with this I of
course went to see the doctor they sent me back out to the medical center on
base where I was evaluated poked prodded
dilated Etc and ended up being diagnosed as photophobic a fancy word for light
sensitive they special ordered me government-issued glasses and sent me
back to the ship to wait for them to arrive took time and a couple of pairs
shockingly the first set sent out weren't correct had some rose-colored
tint that made things worse but I finally received my newly minted
government-issued glasses they were straight up sunglasses the dock on the
ship made sure that my medical diagnosis was entered into my record and sent me
off to work I admit that I had some difficulty indoors in poorly lit areas
of the ship but I dutifully wore my ugly Navy glasses I didn't see the chief for
a bit but once I did he popped his cork big time he marched me right down to the
doc's office on the ship and started giving the doc a hard time he thought
that I was given control over what was issued to me so he was ready to bend me
over a barrel the doc shut him down and actually showed him my medical record
and diagnosis so much for privacy I continued to wear my fuglies a couple of
months until my chief finally relented and allowed me to return to my civilian
glasses not sure if that happened after the commanding officer saw me but it
likely had something to do with it all I know is is as long as they're wearing
something that is legitimately prescription they're most likely wearing
whatever is like best for them in that situation I just can't imagine too many
people would go to the Navy wearing sunglasses for no reason our next story
is from a bigger Hammer how my dad didn't go to Vietnam in 1969 my dad
graduated from Rice University with a five-year Masters in chemical
engineering the Vietnam War was raging and although he and his classmates had
all received deferments during their studies their deferments were over and
it was time for them to go before the draft board most of his classmates
weren't worried because they were slated
to see the Houston draft board which had a reputation for handing out continued
deferments like Halloween candy however my dad's from Oklahoma which meant that
he had to be evaluated by the Tulsa draft board which was much much stricter
dad had applied to go to the chemical engineering PhD program at Stanford and
had been accepted with a full stipend he was excited to go but first he had to
get past the draft board the Stanford faculty wrote a letter to the Tulsa
draft board explaining that Mr Hammer would be embarking on a research program
that would greatly benefit the war effort and asking for another deferment
the Tulsa draft board wrote back in short order Mr Hammer had already
benefited from the only deferment he was going to get and thus he was to present
himself to the Army physical examination center post-taste dad was sad to lose
his shot at a PhD but not too sad because now he could marry my mom he'd
also had several job offers already so he accepted an offer from Exxon and he
and my mom got married his superiors at Exxon wrote another letter to the Tulsa
draft board explaining that Mr Hammer was now gainfully employed in the oil
and gas industry where he would be conducting engineering research that
would greatly benefit the war effort and asking for another deferment just as
quickly the Tulsa draft board wrote back
reiterating that Mr Hammer was not going
to receive another deferment and that if he didn't hurry up and get his army
physical they might have to get the law involved disappointed and my dad went to
his army physical as scheduled he's always been a healthy guy and he
performed just fine on most of the examinations up until the very end when
they measured his heart rate it was over
a hundred beats per minute well we can't pass you with that the Army doctor said
but you're probably just nervous come back in two weeks and we'll give you
another physical nervous my dad said to himself I can work with that for the
next two weeks my dad spent every spare moment basically teaching himself the
opposite of meditation he'd close his eyes and think of the most horrifying
mental images he could trying to drive his heart rate as high as possible
finally the day of the physical arrived and things went much as before he passed
nearly everything with flying colors but when the time came to measure his heart
rate once again it was well over a hundred the Army doctors promptly
diagnosed him with tachycardia scored his physical 4f and sent him home he's
in his 70s now and apart from his mysteriously high heart rate which I
inherited he's always been in great cardiac health and still is I'm not
gonna lie if I was in a situation like that I would not want to be drafted by
any means so I don't think I could ever fault somebody for doing what they could
to make sure that they didn't have to get sent out to the Vietnam War if I was
in the dad situation and I was presented with this opportunity I would be like
getting as little sleep as possible all on the lead up to this day I'd be like
doing some heavy breathing techniques or like you know just trying to figure out
some way to keep that heart rate just pounding our next story is from Star
World 8311 oh you're giving all of us a failing grade in our final project we're
going to talk with the dean of the department then the background my
Humanities class was taught by three professors team teaching lectures small
groups Etc and that worked out most of the time however our final project was a
classroom simulated society and they split the class in half to do this they
told us that we all had to stay in the rooms in a portable and couldn't leave
the rules for the project were that the students were split into upper class
middle class and lower class groups with
each group having an irregular amount of tickets for travel money and food and
drinks the upper class got 10 tickets for almost every category the middle
class got five and the lower class got two each of the three had to decide how
to spend their tickets and could give them away if they chose the upper class
was the only one that had travel tickets and the lower class was the only one
that had entertainment tickets TV time in the first two of the sections of the
group project all the students stayed the whole four hours and the project
went about how you would expect it to go with the upper class ruling the other
two and taxing them in tickets that section of the project was during the
school day between lunch and dinner and our section was directly following them
so we couldn't go to the dining hall for dinner we also couldn't bring outside
food or drinks I had to eat on a schedule for medical reasons but was
told I would only be allowed to do so if I bought food or drink with our group's
tickets I was put into the upper class so we had enough tickets for me to be
able to do that but then there were none for others to have anything we the five
of us in the upper class ended up splitting a can of pop in a small bag of
chips the people in our section of the project were mostly missionary kids I'm
not though so we were mostly an idealistic bunch to begin with all that
one of the lower class group left the building to go eat dinner because they
knew they weren't going to get fed otherwise they weren't allowed back in
and got failing grades because they didn't follow the rules for the project
the malicious compliance the rest of us followed the rules to the letter but we
did it in our own way within the confines of those rules the tickets got
God spread around mostly evenly so everyone could travel have at least one
food or drink for their class to split and have entertainment tickets when it
got to be hour three of four our class started singing show me the way to go
home we then started singing all the most annoying songs we could think of
for the last hour we absolutely drove the professors up a wall but they
couldn't tell us to leave because then they wouldn't have followed the project
rules either we knew we were playing with fire with this one because the
project counted for a good chunk of our final grade but we didn't care after
finding out that the professors weren't going to allow any exceptions to the
rules even for medical reasons after we were done we went to see if there was
any way we could still get dinner in the
cafeteria stayed open for us a half hour after it was supposed to close so we
could eat it was on a Friday night the Fallout on Monday afternoon we all came
into the lecture hall buzzing about the two extremes of the project the Viva who
ran off knew that they were going to fail but the rest of us in both sections
were sure we were going to get passing grades we were all told that the first
section the one that imploded would get passing grades and the second section
the one that shared more equitability would fail one of my friends worked at
the campus bookstore and knew that each stack of the project ticket slash Rule
books came with a teacher's manual since these professors did this project for
all of their Humanities classes at this level they didn't get a new teacher's
manual each year unless the project changed drastically so the rest of the
teachers manuals were sitting in the back of the bookstore locked up though
the friend told his boss what happened and his boss gave him a teacher's manual
those of us who had completed the failed section of the project had the
professor's words on tape because we were allowed to record lectures we took
that and the manual and made an appointment as a group with the dean the
dean thought that the professor had been utterly ridiculous and we got passing
grades for the project the professors tried to argue that there was no way
that the project could ever have had that outcome but the dean didn't go
along with that his answer you teach at a Christian University and expect that
your students aren't going to follow their beliefs the professor had to
change the syllabus so the next year they had the simulated Society project
removed and something else put in its place with much better rules I mean I
get it's a college course but I'm just impressed that they were able to get
away with preventing people from eating for medical reasons threatening to fail
somebody because they left because they have a medical condition I think that
could have come down in the college as a whole and our final story of the day is
from Doughboy kneels insecurity I work at an airport as a law enforcement agent
one morning roughly 4 a.m me and my colleagues were on our way to an
arriving flight we got it security and we're ready to pass mind you we must
must pass through the metal detector but were not to be inspected we can carry
anything we need to do our job and we carry weapons Etc so we'll always set
off the alarm we have a special pass that will allow us clearance we don't
need that pass to carry it just to go through security we approach security
and I suddenly realize I left my pass and my jacket in my locker flight was
due any minute so I decided to dodge the bullet and go through and be inspected
that did not sit well with the guard and he was like you can't go through the
detector like this and you can use the security procedure no pass the no
passage finally he got me and had the power basically forcing me to go back
and be late then it dawned on me in front of the guard and one foot away
from the detector I took off all my gear emptied my pockets Etc gave everything
to my colleague who did bring her pass I went through the detector as clean as
can be no alarms one foot after the detector my colleague handed me my stuff
I put everything back on with the biggest smile and wished him a wonderful
day the expression on his face was priceless we burst into laughing around
the corner let's be real they were definitely being overly picky by saying
oh no you've got to have that pass but this just goes to show it really helps
to have a buddy or two that can just kind of cover for you when you're
working calling an audible friend of mine I've known for decades James has a
son Roy with his ex Lisa Lisa has a new live-in boyfriend David with one of his
own kids and one on the way although not
blood related Roy is my nephew James has shared custody with Lisa as primary Roy
is 17 a year ahead in school and a straight A student after obtaining his
driver's license Lisa agreed he can work for me at my company James bottaroy a
used car to drive to school and work the kid really hasn't come into the hangout
life yet recently it's been brought to my engine James's attention that David's
been driving the car and allowing his 18
year old son to drive it as well this is against the agreement for the car and
has been causing Roy to have to find or wait for rides to school or work James
confronted Lisa and David which caused a huge fight and legal threats on both
sides James and Roy installed a track around the car after telling David that
only Roy can drive the car and anyone else who takes it will be arrested as
the car is still in James's name David took the car after this and was stopped
and arrested for unauthorized use of a motor vehicle David retaliated by
convincing Lisa that Roy shouldn't be able to drive the car unless they're in
the car or he's running an errand for them the courts agree that this is
within their rights on the week's mom has with him Lisa's aware that he needs
to drive while working but still won't let him use the car but as I'm driving
the other kids to their events So after talking to Roy and James we developed a
plan James took the car back I own a rental house not too far from Lisa's
since it's currently used for short-term rentals I moved a car I had wrapped for
my company to the house and gave the key and garage code to Roy Roy currently
picks up the car on the way to school and after school takes it for work as
the cars wrapped with logos I pay him for driving to school and school events
and to drop the car off on the way home now David has to fix his schedule to
deal with trekking his kids back and forth and Roy can get where he needs to
Roy's happy he can work more and no longer has to be the family's unpaid
Uber the main takeaway I get from this story is I'm sure David's gonna have a
real great relationship with their stepfather and Mom once they get even
more Independence down the road also hi I'm Stephen and if you enjoy awesome
stories of compliance why not hit that subscribe button down below that said
our next stories from unorthodox 474 I have to to account for all my time okay
so this one isn't for work but school and a dispute I had with an instructor
who was looking for a way to shaft my GPA I'd proven him wrong in front of
witnesses and he was looking for payback
I was a student gunsmith at the Colorado School of Trades when this happened and
a part of the last section of the program was working on a minimum number
of customer supplied guns kind of like how Salon colleges offer discount hair
services to real customers so that students can get some experience I'd
angered the instructor for that department by protesting when he dinged
me a grade point for failing to document the size of the gas port on a gun that
didn't have one a Benelli inertia driven shotgun and then proved in front of
witnesses that he was wrong about how the gun worked and forced him to change
my grade after that he looked for every way he could to shaft me and I could see
his big play coming in the form of the school's very strict rules about how
carefully we we had to document how our time was spent which would have allowed
him to ding me for every unaccounted four minute of which I was sure I had a
few over the months into her malicious compliance early on in the section it
was called design and function or dnf I had been assigned an old arasaka rifle
to clean and the screws were seized so thoroughly that I was afraid I'd strip
them out if I wrenched them too hard so I'd applied penetrating oil and put it
in my locker and then moved on to other guns while I waited for the oil to work
its magic once I realized what the instructor had planned for me I simply
forgot to get that gun back out of my locker and left it in there for months
while I worked on other guns letting it sit there until I was nearly finished
with the section then when I was near the end and the instructor started
smirking and asking me how well my time was accounted for I produced this crusty
beast from my locker along with the time sheet for it on which I'd accounted for
every spare minute of my time in the section that wasn't on the other sheets
and claimed it was all spent on this thing and told him I was sorry but I
just couldn't get the screws out and I'd
take the F on that one gun out of the 35 I'd worked on as part of the curriculum
the look on his face as he read the paperwork and realized what I'd done was
pretty Priceless I think he just about tore a hole in the final grade sheet
writing that my time was in perfect order and he didn't say another word to
me the whole time I remained in school I love the bait technique op used here I
love the fact that they knew this guy was looking for anything so they created
something and that something was the egg that Opie ended up throwing back in
their face at the very end this next story is from Humble human Bob don't
make that new order for the large Canadian yesterday I was looking for
something easy for dinner and phoned the nearest pizza from a small building I
ordered a large Canadian Pizza for pickup and the person on the phone
confirmed the location and my phone before telling me I could pick it up in
30 minutes at no point was price mentioned in this exchange I had
specifically ordered this because I was looking at the website and saw they had
a large Banner on their site which stated they specifically had types of
large pizzas for 16.99 on arrival at the red roofed pizza from a small building
location and went inside to pick it up the server said that'll be 27.67 I said
I'm sorry I thought your website mentions this large pizza for 16.99 the
server says sorry we don't offer that price over the phone it's online only me
planning my compliance said I'm sorry you're telling me that if I call in my
pizza it's almost double the cost is ordering online they say sorry the
details are on the poster behind you and you can see the small print in the
corner that says online only the details were as promised in very small print on
a very large poster throughout this she'd been holding the pizza out towards
me waiting for me to take it after paying I admit I could have been a bit
more polite but I was a bit hangry and grumpy and just wanted to eat my pizza
for the advertised price I turned abruptly away and left her with a pizza
I walked back to the waiting area and pulled up my phone placing an order
online for the same Pizza I had ordered over the phone I refused to make eye
contact but watched her quizzically looking at me in my peripheral vision
all the while holding my pizza she turned to put it down but glanced at her
computer presumably seeing the notification for the same order under
the same name with the same cell phone number she looked from her screen to me
where I sat looking at my phone watching
her out of the corner of my eye I'd like
to think this was our pizza standoff our Duel of wits our respective slices of
stubbornness after a few drawn out seconds she called me back up she said
okay you can pay for your pizza now the total comes to 1783. I paid the 17 in
cash and they handed me the same Pizza that they'd been holding the whole time
the pepperoni and the pizza icing on the cake was hearing them call into the
kitchen just before I walked out don't make that new order for the large
Canadian uh I'm American and I'm not that large thank you you'd expect a
little bit better service from Red roofed pizza from a small building
location our next story is from drafavio Little Pig pieces this malicious
compliance is both very lighthearted and somewhat silly it took place several
years back when I worked in a corporation-owned restaurant while it
wasn't my malicious compliance I was the
trigger for it and the only one there to see the results first a little bit of
necessary background in case you haven't
worked in food service store for a large
corporation for restaurants food quality Safe Handling of products tools
chemicals cleanliness and labels are all very important if you don't want people
to get sick or injured especially in an environment that's always somehow too
small very hot very loud slippery and full of Medieval Era Siege repellent
such as hot oil fire boiling water and nine inch blades labels are especially
important because the person using the item isn't always the same as the one
who portioned it out for service and if not properly labeled you'd have no way
to ensure it was fresh enough to serve safely corporate kitchens take this even
further and employ third-party Auditors for health and safety to ensure everyone
is following the standards across all their chains this isn't a bad thing
although sometimes their standards Clash badly with reality for example shelled
hard-boiled eggs and a brine once opened
have a best before date that lasts for a year the auditor however decided that
once the pail was opened they're only good for a single week there was also no
leeway on labeling even if the product packaging contained all of the
information you would put on a label it's still required a label this wasn't
unreasonable because a standardized label is easier to read but for very
high usage items where you could go through several packages a day it could
become difficult to ensure this happened especially during rushes one of these
items is bacon bits which brings us to our malicious compliance we had been
audited and failed because three items were found in one of the fridges that
were not properly labeled because and I quote the labels must clearly State the
name of the product such that anyone can identify it it must have the day it was
opened slash made and the day it expires and the labeler must print their name
two of the labels did not have a labeler's name and one item didn't have
the name of the product the product without a name bacon bits I was put in
charge of making sure we passed our next audit and I took it very seriously
talking to the others finding out where pain points and following procedure
occurred and ensuring absolutely everyone got a refresher on the
standards it mostly went well and everyone was getting into the groove but
there was another container of bacon bits missing its name there were only
two of us working at the time so after the lunch rush I pulled the bacon Bandit
aside to have a heart to heart I said hey bacon Bandit I know we were just
busy but you gotta put the name on the bacon bits they said really they're used
up before the end of the day there's no way to confuse them with another product
they last for a month and we just don't have time during 15 minutes or it's free
lunch if we want to get the food out on time I said I understand the reasons why
it happened you're not getting in trouble for this but the audits can shut
us down and even though it feels unnecessary labels are protection for
both the customers and the company everybody has to be on board with this
to make it work and if we can't even label bacon bits the area manager is
going to question why we have the highest paid kitchen staff at our
location can I count on you to make sure the bacon bits are labeled the bacon
banded with a big size says yeah I'll do it but it's still dumb and wastes a lot
of time I say thank you I appreciate it a few days later it's a particularly
soggy day and lo and behold the auditor shows up for their surprise inspection
right in the middle of the lunch rush I'm by myself on the line so I'm only
able to half keep tabs on them while they're putting out orders they seem
happy with things so far and just as the
lunch rush is ending they enter the main fridge where dwells the bacon bits the
auditor is in there for a long time way more time than normal and when they come
out of the fridge they're grinning ear to ear well that's weird I think then
they get our general manager and take them back into the fridge and now I'm
thinking oh that can't be a good sign when they come out they're both laughing
and I'm completely confused they go into
the office to discuss the results of the audit and I go into the fridge to try
and see if I can figure out what's going on I go in and everything is labeled
everything is fifoed first in first out and everything stacked in food safe
order then I see it the bacon bits sitting proudly on its shelf in a
container clearly labeled for the world to see mother freaking little pig pieces
yesterday's date expiry bacon Bandit we passed the audit with a hundred percent
because little pig pieces and I quote clearly stated the name of the product
such that anyone can identify it I'm just glad that this auditor had a good
sense of humor about it I could imagine that some with a stick up their butt
that's looking to catch somebody could give you some hard time about oh well
that's not an accurate name I'm just glad we could all laugh at this
situation and our final story of the days from nameless and quiet but you
said you didn't want my help Karen I'm a bridal consultant at a very popular
bridal salon in my town I have many years of experience and love what I do
most of the bridal gowns in my shop are special order meaning they must be
ordered before they're made by the designer and Lead times can be anywhere
from 4 weeks to eight and a half months not everyone knows this when they come
shopping for a gown that's the whole point of me being there I make sure we
can get the dress in time any desired customizations or alterations are
possible and that the price is within the bride's budget well when this
particular bride and her mother stepped into the store they went immediately to
the racks and started ripping through the needly hung gowns I introduced
myself explaining that I would be their consultant for the appointment this
bride had a fairly short engagement around four and a half months and I knew
that only some of the gowns would be available in time as I tried to explain
to her and her mother the process she sharply cut me off and told me to just
let us shop and leave us alone I was stunned to be spoken to so rudely so I
did as I was told even when I saw them looking at dresses twice her budget that
wouldn't arrive until months after her wedding I never took any of the gowns
back to a dressing room or asked her if she'd like to actually try them on even
after they stood by for a while clearly way waiting for me to take her back to
the dressing rooms I just continued on with my other work as if they didn't
exist eventually they realized that I had no intentions of acknowledging or
helping them in any way and they left without getting to try on any gowns the
owner asked me about it after they left and I told her the whole story she
laughed and said good for you honestly I'm impressed that the owner said good
for you like even if these customers are the worst jerks of worst jerks these
gowns obviously aren't cheap and I imagine a lot of owners even when being
treated that way would expect their employees to grin and bear it just to
try and make that sale don't deviate from the flowchart okay if you insist
about a decade ago I had The Misfortune of working in a call center for a
company which provided phone broadband and satellite TV channels this was the
days before fiber so the setup was slightly different from what you see
these days to begin with I worked in customer services is doing things like
booking pay-per-views changing billing dates and upgrading packages after a
year or so the powers that be decided the whole call center would be trained
on phone and Broadband tech support and we would take those calls instead lots
of people complained because they weren't technical minded and found the
idea of fixing Tech issues daunting I wasn't worried because a massive nerd
and was building my own computers from age 12 my dad started teaching me when I
was about eight this new type of call sounded much more interesting and I was
looking forward to it the staff were told don't worry we'll train you it's
simple really to be fair to them they were right kind of for those who don't
know the original internet connection dial up was an issue because the phone
line was totally used up by the internet connection meaning you couldn't make
calls at the same time as using your glacier-like connection Broadband
revolutionized the system because it allowed both phone and internet to be
used at the same time and to improve the connection speed to allow for more data
to be transferred think of dial up as a country road slow speeds and only one
kind of traffic at a time or you end up with a massive queue of cars lorries and
tractors clogging the road with no filtering space for motorbikes Broadband
is the equivalent of a dual Carriage Way two lanes of traffic in each Direction
means you can get more traffic into your city at higher speeds the issue with
more traffic is that you need to add more road signs to direct it to the
correct destination phone signals to the
phone Broadband signals to the router to do this you needed to have a micro
filter as the first thing plugged into every single phone port in use in the
House the TV installation which happened
first did not include a micro filter and customers would assume the TV
installation wouldn't need to be messed with so they didn't add one when they
set up the router the number one complaint on the tech support line was
caused by that filter being missing it resulted in slow low or intermittent
Broadband connections and static on phone lines and dropped calls people
would phone up and scream at me because the connection was fine to start with
but the phone lines always been bad and now the connection keeps dropping as I
mentioned most of the staff were upset at being moved from a customer service
role to a tech role so the higher ups had a troubleshooting System created it
was basically a glorified flow chart with a pretty interface the issue is
that whoever created it didn't think it through no matter where the problem was
with the tech issue the chances were that the customer would need to be
calling on a mobile phone so that the right steps could be followed most
customers did not call on mobiles because in those days calls for mobile
phones were expensive even calls to landlines and especially calls to 0845
numbers like call centers this information was missing from the
flowchart and it meant that if the customer tried to change the way their
equipment was connected or if we ran a line test it would result in the call
dropping because they were disconnecting their landline handset or we were
stopping all signals down the line for a couple of minutes to do the test it was
assumed that we would call our customers back if this happened because it was
impressed into us that the point was to solve the tech issue if the customer has
to keep calling back and speaking to different people then it slowed this
process down the flow chart did not say call your customer back the thing with
me being kind of techy was that I could usually identify the fault in the first
minute of the call based on the symptoms described by the customer and I seem to
have a knack for being able to explain Tech issues using accessible language so
the customer understands what's happening without feeling condescended
to this meant that my calls were shorter more efficient and my customer
satisfaction survey results were high what's not to like well you know how I
mentioned that the powers that be decided to take non-techy people and put
them in a tech role it went about as well as you would expect the flowchart
worked to a point but people who had no tech knowledge try to cut corners and it
resulted in problems free replacement routers were issued for external line
fault problems which is like replacing the roundabout on an interchange when
the problem is a tree on the road 10 miles from there the engineers were to
resolve external faults caused by Dead Master phone sockets about as useful as
doping Road works the next town over in an attempt to get more traffic through a
flooded slip Road at your Town's boundary repeat calls were up
resolutions were down customer satisfaction was low for the call center
as a whole there were about 20 of us who were doing well because of course I
wasn't the only nerd in the call center we used our common sense and Tech
know-how to get results and my team of around 15 was around 50 percent tech
nerd our manager loved it because we had the best results of the whole call
center and she looked amazing despite being a Luddite herself the head office
kept trying to get the rest of the call center up to our level they couldn't
figure out why people hired to be glorified phone concierges couldn't fix
phone lines obviously the problem must be the staff word was issued from on
high Thou shalt not deviate from the flow chart I foolishly thought that they
only meant the people with csats which were through the floor I thought the
people who knew what they were talking about would be left to it slowly but
surely the rest of the call center scores started climbing out of the
toilet our team was still constantly the highest but the Gap wasn't so
embarrassingly massive anymore others were resisting the flowchart people at
the peak of Mount stupid on the dunning-kruger graph fought the idea
that they didn't know enough to act without the dubious support of the
admittedly quite bad flowchart upper management started thinking of ways to
make them use it a new score was added to our stats adherence to process
quality control started failing our work if we deviated from the flowchart my
manager started writing me and the others up for it we tried to explain
that the flowchart worked for the people who didn't actually know computers
because it methodically went through every possibility over the course of
about an hour and a half if you don't don't know where the fault is then
eventually you will stumble over the right fix but when you have some
knowledge and can tell within the first five seconds that Mr Smith has
accidentally turned off his wireless card surely it's better customer service
to jump right to that apparently not she said that if we deviated from the
flowchart again she would start the disciplinary process which Always and
without exception resulted in the person
being fired sooner or later okay then no more using our brains all of us stopped
using our prior knowledge to fix the faults quickly I stopped explaining the
issues to the clients we literally just read the flowchart instructions in all
their mind-numbing and typoed Glory I also stopped calling customers back when
the line dropped due to flaws in the flowchart every time this happened I
would leave a note on the client's profile line dropped when doing X test
I've been told never to deviate from the flowchart or I'll be taking the
disciplinary stage there's no instruction to say I can call my
customer back so I didn't if customer calls back in test result was why one of
my colleagues delighted in telling his customers yes I know exactly what the
problem is and it'll only take five minutes to fix but first i'm required to
do these other tests it will take about 40 minutes to get to the point where I'm
allowed to fix your issue why well manager has threatened me with
unemployment if I use my brain so I have to go down the line here and it'll take
40 minutes to get to the one that I know will resolve your problem suddenly our
team was at the bottom of the csat board our repeat calls were through the roof
we were the worst performing team in the call center our manager was being
questioned by upper management about why
our scores had plummeted the head office
was going to take us off Tech and put us on a debt management lines if we didn't
start getting our score back up to where it was obviously it didn't happen most
of the techie people left the business I stuck it out long enough to see the
tech roll removed and the deadlines instead just before I started my new job
with my current employer head office sent out their annual feedback survey I
ripped them a new one in brutal feedback
from the micro managing to inappropriate staff roles for the people hired to
predatory upselling to vulnerable customers and unethical debt management
practices I heard that some of the other managers were fired so it seems other
people spoke out too and there were some
top-down changes which fixed some of the superficial issues oh and that terrible
flowchart they prettied it up added the fiber options and put it on their
website so that people with mobile data can fix their own Broadband issues at
least they got rid of the typos first so considering the kind of company this is
let's be real even though Opie try to rip them a new one they probably don't
care awful ain't it I will never get over how universally hated most I isps
are looking at you Comcast Xfinity that said our final story of the day is Karen
boss desperately needed my uniform back the next day no excuses okay so a little
backstory first I'm a 20 year old college student full-time doing 23 Plus
hours a week on top of classes to make ends meet I live paycheck to paycheck
and have a car I am slash was paying off I used to work at a McDonald's in my
hometown but since I moved to live on campus which was 45 minutes away from my
old job and I wasn't willing to make the commute so I decided to apply and got
accepted to a small sandwich shop 10 minutes from my college which was a
blessing it started out great plenty of hours easy work fast days till the old
manager decided to switch stores the new manager was one of the biggest Karen's
you have ever met like bad and when I say bad I really mean it she can
completely change the procedures and made things so much worse and when I'd
have to stay over sometimes two to three hours after closing she would burst in
the next day yelling screaming at the top of her lungs stop staying later you
have to be out by 8 30. we won't pay you for any time past then I had no choice
because the list she gave me to do to close the store alone every night May I
add was extremely time consuming especially with no help I was expected
to stop serving at eight and do five people's worth of work in 30 minutes it
simply wasn't doable hearing I wasn't going to be paid for the time I worked
time I spent making sure everything was done on the list before I left otherwise
I'd be fired for not doing all of it would go unpaid as well as I'd be fired
if I stayed longer than 8 30 there was no winning on top of that the moment
management switched they decided they were giving people too many hours and
cut me to only three hours a week that went on for four weeks until I
decided enough was enough forty five dollar work weeks wasn't even worth
putting in the time and effort to even show up so on one of my weekends I was
with my parents off campus I was due to work that day three hours of course my
only day that week I was shopping near said sandwich shop it's located inside a
Walmart my mom and I were discussing for the last week how I should just quit
since it seems they're trying to fire me
without saying they're firing me wanting me to leave on my own so they wouldn't
need to fill out paperwork right then and there I decided know what screw this
job and screw my entitled Karen boss I sent her a text that I quit on the spot
and to not expect me to come in that night for my shift she texted me back
ranting about how since I'm not giving her a two-week notice I'll never be able
to work at one of those sandwich shops again at that point I didn't care I
already had to give up my brand new car of only four months because I couldn't
pay my loan and insurance it was a nice car too a white shimmery 2016 Hyundai
Sonata I loved that thing I told her at some point that week I tried to get the
brand new uniform that funny enough they
had just given me the week prior a whole three and a half months after I started
working there to me but I warned her that my classes run right till before
closing I didn't know when I'd be able to do so she texted back in what I could
only imagine the snarkiest tone possible no I really need that uniform back
tomorrow I told her I'm sorry but that may not be possible due to my school
schedule and I'm not willing to ditch a class to drop off a few pieces of
clothing she said no you will bring it back tomorrow don't even try to lie to
me you were seen in the store the day you quit no excuses okay then she said
no excuses I didn't want to get into an argument with her over it and knowing
she herself would be closing that day and my classes ended exactly at eight I
happily complied I made sure I arrived right as she was closing the lock on the
gate I was bringing the clothes in my reusable shopping bag I had no throwaway
bags and since she can't take and claim my bag as her own I was just going to
give her the clothes one piece at a time
knowing she would have to carry them out of the store juggling them back home
made me happy when it came time to deliver my uniform to her all the stars
seemed to align perfectly I arrived at 8 30 caught her on the way out with the
outfit not even in a reusable bag to begin with as an extra Touch of sweet
unplanned irony it was raining outside hard rain the sidewalks I guess were
extra slippery and muddy because on my way in I slipped and landed chest first
into the mud I was mostly spared though because the clothes were there to break
my fall and absorb most of the filth dropping off the muddy loose clothes
seeing her reaction watching her stomp her feet wrench into disgust holding the
clothes 10 feet away from her body huffing and puffing marching out of the
store and pure shock and disbelief she didn't even have words for me it was the
sweetest Revenge I had ever seen this did mean I had to buy a whole new set of
clothes and changing the Walmart bathroom but it was all worth it to see
her reaction in the end after I'd returned to my dorm that evening I sent
her a text simply saying enjoy smiley face and I blocked her number safe to
say karma really did pay out on my end I've heard some similar stories in the
past of people that go right into the office and strip right down to their
underwear I imagine some people would probably go work out in the gym in those
clothes and then drop them off it sure is crazy how these people that hand out
work uniforms sure do need them back ASAP when you're no longer working there
pissing off the base commander when I was 20 I got drafted into the army I
live in the Netherlands and this happened in the 80s I got trained to be
an ambulance driver two months of General training and how to drive a Land
Rover and two months of Medical Training after that I was ready to take on any
medical emergency that came my way after my training I got placed in a staff
support platoon a mismatch of different roles that are there to support the
higher Army staff in whatever they need make coffee admin drive them around tech
support etc etc I was their ambulance driver it was probably helpful when we
were at War but they had no use for me during peacetime after I got settled on
the base where I got stationed I was called in by my lieutenant telling me
I'd been volunteered to work at the small local military post on our base I
was okay with it as it gave me something to do during the time I had to serve in
the Army it was a small post for the clinic one permanent doctor and one
drafted right out of medical school and several other grunts like me downstairs
was our clinic in a few rooms to treat patients upstairs about 12 beds for
patients who were sick but not bad enough that they needed to go to a real
hospital we worked at the clinic and took care of the patients upstairs and
maybe two to three times a week I had to
pull out with the ambulance we used more often than not for a planned trip to
transport a patient to or from an actual hospital I started with the rank of
soldier and I was expected to end my one-year career at the rank of Corporal
as you can imagine from the title that never happened I didn't hate working at
the post on the contrary I actually felt I did something useful and while I was
stationed at the post I learned many practical medical skills having other
soldiers to practice on but it was a waste of my time I wanted to start my
career in I.T and this was holding me back I also didn't care much about
hierarchy or ranks I respected my fellow army men and women for who they were
their actions and how they treated others not by the number of bars stars
or stripes and being an actual on our base I got away with that we had no roll
calls and I slept in a two-person bedroom instead of the 12 person one my
platoonmates had to use no inspections no military training and wearing white
instead of green anyways to the malicious compliance I was tending to a
patient at the clinic he and his buddy had walked into a door their words and
it had a glass window that shattered and cut them both up one pretty bad and he
was treated by our doctor in one of the rooms as he needed quite a few stitches
and as the other Soldier only had minor Cuts I treated him on the spot as no
other medical staff were available at that time the slightly larger Cuts I
glued shut for others a Band-Aid would suffice he was sitting in one of the
chairs and I was on one knee in front of
him taking care of a cut on his leg as I heard somebody walk into the clinic
without looking up as I was holding a glued cut together with my fingers until
it had set I put politely asked to please take his feet and that I would be
right there the colonel says do you know who I am I'm the base commander Colonel
so and so yes he actually said that I can still hear it in my head 35 years
later his booming indignant voice full of air of how important he was I was not
impressed at all mostly annoyed by his attitude and told him congratulations
please have a seat and I will get to him once I finish treating the cut I was
working on that was not what he wanted to hear and he started chewing me out
finally I was done with the cut let go of my fingers and got up ignoring his
barrage I asked him how I could help the colonel said I need to speak to the
doctor I have an appointment okay not an emergency I explained to the colonel
that the doctor was treating a patient who needed urgent medical attention and
that he'll have to wait till the doctor finished his treatment he has none of it
and tells me he doesn't have the time to wait then he orders me to tell the
doctor that his 3 P.M appointment is waiting for him I knew the doctor would
drop everything and be running to the colonel if he got wind of who it was
that was waiting for him he didn't have that much of a spine and his career was
primarily based on the Colonel's input and assessment of him but the colonel
had given me an order and I had to do it so I went to the treatment room and put
my head in the doctor was busy stitching up the more injured Soldier and I
complied with the Colonel's order I said Doctor your 3pm appointment has arrived
the doctor not realizing or remembering who the 3pm appointment was told me
irritably to have the patient wait till he finished and that it could be another
five to ten minutes he repeated what he told me several times before to only
disturb him for emergencies I go back to the kernel and tell him that the doctor
is still busy treating the patient and would be available in about 10 minutes
the colonel was not happy and told me to get the doctor now I told the colonel
that I had explicit instructions to only disturb the doctor in case of an
emergency and that his appointment was not an emergency you would have to wait
he grumbled but in the end sat down to the doctor arrived and he started
berating the doctor about how precious his time was and how he had made him
wait the doctor apologized and almost groveled as they moved into the doctor's
office I had to go upstairs for something and the colonel had already
left after I got down I did get a good ear washing from the doctor telling me I
should have mentioned to him that it was the colonel who was waiting for him I
argued that it should not matter who was
waiting if he was treating a patient who
was bleeding all over the place and that
he told me himself that he could only be disturbed for emergencies I never got
that promotion to Corp roller even Soldier first class still worth it
honestly in my opinion although op didn't suck up and get the promotions as
a result of being a stuck-up I'd say he did the right thing also hi I'm Steven
and if you enjoy awesome stories of compliance why not hit that subscribe
button down below that said our next story is boss told me to measure
everything lost the sale I'm a mechanic at a national chain with the three boys
we have a service called brake inspection that's free I get a 25 cent
an hour Commission on it although with this company we only get paid commission
if our commission earnings are greater than our hourly guarantee and it's
averaged for a whole week so this week I'm too far behind on commission to make
any I'll just get my hourly a car rolled in with a complaint of brake squealing
this is pretty common and isn't a serious concern usually but people want
something done so I'll sell them breaks if they want to waste 600 bucks to get
less noise anyways I put the car in the air and spun the back wheel and it made
a pretty bad squeal the wearer indicator seemed to be the cause I'll rub on the
rotor when the pads are too low also I could see that the rotors were really
scored pretty deep just from that alone I knew it needed rear pads and rotors
and I would have just quickly checked if the fronts were really bad so I could
suggest that as well before I could even
do that my boss says take the wheels off do a real brake inspection measure
everything cue malicious compliance now like I said I'm not making commission
this week so it doesn't matter to me if I sell work or just hang out so I pull
up the specs for the brake system on that car and I get to measuring
everything about 45 minutes later my boss comes by and I've measured one set
of pads and rotors thickness at eight points parallelism run out pad thickness
at Four Points taper long wise across and at Angles he asks how it's looking I
mentioned the rotors are within inspect for thickness but out of spec for run
out warped and parallelism and the pads are cracked basically saying it's good
but it's not not a real answer he comes back after about 90 minutes total and
I'm about to start the last wheel the customer has grown tired of waiting and
he asks me if I have a recommendation I say it might need front brakes and
probably needs a rear but I'm not done measuring he comes back a couple minutes
later and says the customer decided he wants to leave just finish the
inspection and roll it out so I finish up I recommend rear brakes and suggest
front brakes the customer comes over to get the car for me and says he might
come back Monday pretty sure we lost the sale later one of the lubetex is
bantering with him about how measuring everything just what is normally on the
inspection sheet takes at least 15 minutes and the boss is saying it should
take five to ten minutes just as I walk in and he says not an hour and gives me
an accusing look I just reply you said measure everything I mean this really is
sticking it to the boss but let's be real it also kind of sucks for the
customer I mean not only did you waste time for yourself that was
inconsequential and didn't matter and you lost the boss's sale but you did
also just kind of run this customer through the ringer and waste their time
as well I guess in the end it teaches them a valuable lesson about chain auto
repair stores that said our final story of the day is childhood holiday Jam
Revenge this is a small and stupid yet very lengthy example of malicious
compliance but it felt like a huge win for me at the time and still does I was
a child maybe nine or ten I'm an only child not much extended family and both
parents were certainly doing their best having themselves been poorly treated
growing up but sometimes a person's best is still not ideal I grew up with the
kind of parenting style where the kid can never win there was always some sort
of Power Trip for example physical punishments for no clear reason that
would increase in severity if I so much as asked what I'd actually done wrong
you are to never question me I had to follow weird rules to the absolute
letter that didn't make logical sense but only applied to me my dad was the
most controlling and would often try to intimidate me someone once said that he
had a small man syndrome and at the time I guess I was the only one smaller than
him I would cop it if I didn't do exactly what he had said in exactly the
way he had said it being pretty bright I'd learned to find loopholes in his
rules and he couldn't say anything about it if I exploited them because I
technically done what he'd asked this story is about one of those times I was
careful not to do it so often in case he stopped being super literal to set the
scene some more I was a neglected child my parents were the right-wing Christian
hippie anti-vaxx type in the sense that I was homeopathically vaccinated but
honestly they wouldn't make sure I took the full course of what's essentially
sugar pills so I didn't even have the claim of being homeopathically
vaccinated to my name with the ironic exception of Homeopathy sugar in all its
forms was the devil and at some points I remember not even being allowed things
like apple juice because it apparently made me Hyper and run around a lot I
grew up on goats and soy milk not cow's milk because it leeches calcium from the
bones I couldn't be myself I've since learned I'm naturally peppy so you have
to understand I was fed in a way that discourage this our house was so quiet
you could hear a pin drop on the other side of the house I had high anxiety and
was depressed at a fundamental level I wasn't encouraged to go on play dates
with school friends I wasn't allowed Barbies in case I tried to be too sexy I
wasn't allowed to watch Sesame Street because Oscar the Grouch has a bad
attitude and it might rub off onto me I would get asked by kids in my class if I
was anorexic and I didn't even know what that meant on the rare occasions I
received lollies or a chocolate as a gift or prize they'd go out to the very
top of the pantry Out Of Reach but within eyesight for a time when I
deserve to enjoy something a little special they stayed up there for years
typically that pile was only ever added to maybe a couple of times I remember
being allowed to select a single item literally a single Lolly from a party
favor Lolly bag kind of thing occasionally on holiday I'd get to have
something yummy as a treat but it was usually my mother sharing something with
me in a close and secret way and my dad would never know one morning on holiday
we were having toast for breakfast I had two pieces of toast on my plate on the
table was a nice proper Jam as well as the usuals for example Marmite despite
being Australian as expected I wasn't permitted Jam in my everyday life and I
knew never to ask but we were on holiday and it was proper jam and I hadn't done
anything wrong lately and I thought not being allowed to have GM once was stupid
I asked and was told no I asked again adding but we're on holiday and I never
get to have Jam please my mother conceded saying something like oh come
on we rarely go away and it's lovely jam with real fruit but it was my dad that
decided this stuff eventually he conceded yes okay but you can only put
jam on one piece of toast I thanked him and repeated I can only put the jam on
one piece of toast with my knife he said
yes I clarified again and he said yes so I did but he hadn't specified the
quantity or the manner in which I had to eat it I grinned this big poop eating
grin I put heaps of jam on that one piece of toast he tried to stop me but I
reminded him of what he'd said I took the other in my hand and smushed them
both together his eyes bugged out of his head when I pulled them apart both
pieces had the perfect amount of jam I said oh wow I thought I wanted to have
my toast as a sandwich actually but I changed my mind oh well I wasn't able to
enjoy two delicious Jam toasts the look on his face was magical he was angry and
tried to tell me off I reminded him that he'd already confirmed a few times that
I could only use the knife to put Jam on only the one toast he was flustered
because I'd beaten him my mother had a very amused look on her face and I think
she was a little proud he couldn't punish me directly for having too much
Jam as he hadn't specified the quantity technically I was within the rules I
can't remember what happened afterwards I wouldn't be surprised if I somehow
copped extra for an unrelated thing most of my childhood was a weird blur but
there's always a silver lining I learned
to be very quick-witted I'm very good at noticing discrepancies logical gaps and
loopholes I only exploit them if I think the person or their stance is
objectively ridiculous and even then rarely it's a power that should only be
used for good thanks for reading I mean the compliance is great and I'm glad op
got to enjoy Jam for once in their life but can we all agree that these parents
are awful that what they were doing was practically abusive if not legitimately
no kid should have to to grow up in an existence like that where they're being
denied basic human Joys you want me to work at full capacity no problem can you
tell my colleagues to say goodbye to their bonuses thanks I work in a help
desk call center as a first line agent on purpose my job is easy we work from
home where users can call email or chat us and we fix their most basic computer
problems often resolved by a restart or a redeployment of some sort I took this
job on purpose to get away from a very stressful career that killed my social
life and frankly my will to live this job cost me exactly zero energy giving
me the space and energy to have the social life I've always dreamed of the
pay in this job is based on the languages you provide at help in and
because of my language skills and a promotion I'm not allowed to tell my
colleagues about I make more than anyone
else in my team for this simple reason I
refuse to take any promotions that bring more stress but are not financially
compensated causing me to have worked in first line for three and a half years
now while most of my colleagues have had promotions because this company has a
huge turnover I often get new colleagues and managers I usually train the new
colleagues and have a friendly cordial relationship with the managers but I
always try to stay private and reserved as much as possible to save all of my
energy for after work activities most days I don't talk to anyone I log in I
work on the tickets calls and emails for
fifty percent of the time while studying
and reading watching movies or listening to music the rest of the time what's
important to know for this story is that we can get a bonus of up to 10 percent
of our monthly income depending on our productivity I always get the 10 but for
some newer colleagues it's difficult because the limits are pretty high if I
like a colleague I'll sometimes help them by closing tickets in their name I
also usually take the more challenging tickets and leave the easier ones for
the newer team members further bit of information nation is that the company I
work for has their help desk for 12 languages so to cover all of the
languages we have a team of eight so now to the malicious compliance one of the
people I trained became the new team leader which I actually encouraged the
guy is exactly the manager type and understands the job unfortunately the
pressure from the operations manager got
to him and he started checking our stats noticing that for about four hours per
day there is no activity for me I explained to him that this is on purpose
to give everyone a chance to get their bonus and that my output is still higher
than anyone else in the team he also noticed that I sometimes closed tickets
in my colleague's name for which I couldn't give him a real reason because
it's sort of fraud I just told them I Rush sometimes and just didn't notice he
told me no more relaxing times and no more closing tickets and others names he
actually said he would be checking up on me to make sure I work the full 8 hours
I'm paid for I explained to him that this would be a very bad idea that the
team is doing really well and that the current status quo is perfectly balanced
and he shouldn't upset it but he was young and reckless fine for the next two
months I worked at full capacity where normally there was a good balance of
closing tickets and everyone getting a fair shot of their bonus now all of a
sudden I did about 70 percent of the work leaving very little for my
colleagues who except for one other both months didn't qualify for their bonuses
causing huge conflicts in the team I tried to stay out of it but was soon
accused of stealing all of my colleagues tickets and not giving them a chance to
earn their bonuses I replied professionally to all the accusations
via email making sure to CC all relevant managers including the operations
manager after two months our new team leader was reassigned and the status quo
returned as it was honestly I would hate to be an op's position here regardless
because let's be real having a job where you can take four hours off to just
chill and watch movies and whatnot sounds kind of awesome and it kind of
sucks being like okay I guess I'll have to try hard for a couple of months just
to prove a point to me it seems like the kind of thing that would end up getting
everybody else fired and them expecting you to just keep carrying the load
yourself also hi I'm Steven and if you enjoy awesome stories of compliance why
not hit that subscribe button down below that said our next story is I need a
degree to get promoted fine I'll leave to get one while I was a college student
in the 80s I accepted a job as a second shift computer operator at a large
Regional Bank the job duties were processing all the checks and payments
printing statements and checks running all the backups and so on on the day I
showed up for the job I learned that I wasn't getting that job but a lower one
which physically loaded the check reader
years loaded printer paper signed checks burst forms and so on the lead computer
operator had apparently threatened to quit if they didn't promote internally
and give the job to one of the current people in the position I just ended up
in they later got married so you can probably figure out her actual motive
but the department manager Mr Biggs my boss's boss told me that I would be
promoted to computer operator as soon as anyone left the position you guessed it
two years later no one has left the position and we required another
Regional Bank our CEO told the CEO of the acquired bank that no employees
would be fired so suddenly we had an extra computer operator on every shift
but Mr Biggs insisted that I'd still get promoted because he knew I was the most
computer literate employee he had something he used to his advantage in
numerous side projects which should have been paid at a much higher rate six
months later one of the computer operators finally transferred to the
programming Department I asked Mr Biggs to promote me to the position and he
told me he was working on it a few months later he finally tells me that
they still have too many computer operators because of the acquisition and
I wouldn't be promoted until more of them left clearly this wasn't working so
a few months later another position opens in the programming department and
I apply for it Mr Big signed the form allowing me to apply and wish me luck
the interviews went well and programming wanted to hire me but a few days later
the computer operator who transferred there told me privately that Mr Biggs
went to the head of programming and asked him to not consider me for the
position because I was his best employee and he couldn't afford to lose me the
head of programming told him no I'm going to hire the best person for the
job the next morning the HR Director calls me to say that one of the
Executive Vice Presidents wants to interview me for the position she's
flabbergasted because he's never asked to interview anyone of that level and
couldn't explain why you wanted to now after the interview the HR Director
called me apologized profusely and told me they were giving the position to
another candidate because he had a college degree no it wasn't related to
the position in any way the degree was from an unaccredited College which had
actually asked me to teach computer courses there which I'd turned down of
course I knew what had really happened so I told the HR Director that I hadn't
realized how important a degree was and that I would immediately switch to
part-time instead of full-time so I could take more hours of classes to
finish my degree more quickly there are no part-time positions in Mr Big's
department so it meant transferring to the department run by his biggest
competitor within the company she transferred me immediately at the same
pay I was making in the previous department and I never worked for Mr Mr
Biggs again honestly I think this is one of those situations where if you find
out somebody is actually sabotaging you because they want you to keep working
for them that you need to get out of there by any means possible God forbid
somebody sabotages your verticality potential in the company because they
just like you too much at your lowly current position our next story is why
yes I'd love to convert a 10 minute task into a three-day project I work in the
events department for a large company projectors microphones computers etc if
it's required for an event then we handle it and it probably passes through
my workflow for helping to organize my departments also handle catering for
events well it's not my team specifically we work side by side the
associate director runs the catering and event coordinators my manager only runs
the AV side and doesn't report to the associate director don't ask it's a
messed up org chart that nobody can make sense of despite not specifically being
part of my job description I also do the technical side of getting new staff
members online within our system getting their staff account created and also
getting teams in OneDrive online on their mobile so they can see all their
paperwork and the reason why I'm happy to do this is because with the catering
team being a revolving door of Staff normal in my industry getting them
online needs to be done immediately and fast you can go to the greater it team
to do this but you can be waiting days for them to get it done whereas I can do
it within five to ten minutes with them and staff that aren't online and our
system can't work hns forms are part of the setup therefore they wouldn't be
able to complete the assigned shift and it won't touch the request until they
show up for their first shift at which point you'd then wait days for them to
get onto it see the flawed logic here note setting up a new account also
involves setting up their personal work email group email access system
permissions access and to a limited extent their access card swipe
permissions normally this would be done by the security team but 10 years at a
company really comes with its perks of being connected to the right people and
when you want to get something like this done fast it's often easier for one
person with permissions to do it as opposed to multiple people in their own
workflows second note if you're asking why a rotating door of catering staff
need personal work email and group work email this account setup is supposed to
Encompass more than just them alright enough setup on to the story recently my
boss has thrown another bout of trying to micromanage the heck out of my team
we all hate it but I guess we can just ride this wave out again the associate
director asked me to go to one of our other offices on the other side of the
city to set up a group of new staff in one large batch order my own manager
looked at Quest got one of those time for some micromanagement Shenanigans
faces I said hey boss associate director wants me to go to the other office to
set up some new staff in the system next week on Friday the boss says uh nope I
need you here in case something happens op very busy on that day I said there's
nothing on the roster for that day and I'd still be available remotely boss
says just write the associate director a document about how to get people set up
in the system and he can do it himself I said uh are you sure I do it fast
because I'm trained on the system and he isn't including travel I'd only be gone
for about three to four hours writing the document on how to get someone set
up and the system would take much longer they say write the document and put
everything he needs to know in it it only needs to be what half a page can't
be that hard everything all right cue malicious compliance what my boss
expected was a half page written instruction manual on getting a new
account created within the system I don't think it could have kept it that
short even if I tried What followed was a three-day project writing out the
instruction manual for how to get someone set up in the system which
comprised of 34 Pages not half a page large portions of it are troubleshooting
steps accounting for different models of phones and likely fixes when they do
weird things iPhones are great because they work the infinite variations of
Android phones can sometimes throw up strange errors either on the system or
within the phone itself most of the information in here was Collective
knowledge I've built up over the years as well as who else to phone an it for
the most outrageous issues that had to be resolved that I didn't have the
permissions for and who could generally do it immediately I warned the associate
director that this was going to be a very large technical manual and he
should probably read it before heading to the other office they said isn't it
half a page I said my boss said to put everything in it they said oh no what
followed was the associate director attempting to take summer between 10 to
20 people through this very technically written manual about getting someone set
up in the system to anyone not technically inclined it could have all
have been in a different language for all they could understand it after 30
minutes he called me put me on speakerphone and camera to the new staff
and said just do it sitting in my computer I spent the next 40 minutes
getting everyone Online technical support over a phone can be straining
you all know what I mean and they were fine to start their shifts finally the
associate director asks me something in private afterwards op did it need to be
this complicated I said actually I summarized some sections to make it
easier I didn't want to make it difficult for you wasn't the intention
but my boss told me to write down everything so I did they said good to
know thanks following the weekend I was notified that when I was requested to go
get a new staff member set up I should find a time that I am available and go
do it irrespective of other tasks not sure what happened up top but I think my
boss got a very heavy smack for it honestly I'm impressed that it took 34
pages I mean I guess it's you know very specific instructions on multiple
platforms on four or five different things but it still definitely doesn't
feel like it should have taken 34 pages to write out all the instructions I
think maybe Opie took everything a little too literally that said our final
story of the day is I don't want him to do it I work the window and take orders
at Mendy's every day is another treasure box of joy and despair ready to be
opened today this box popped open like a snake-shaped insult in a can I take
orders I make drinks I collect on occasion and if I'm really on top of my
game I'll assemble the chilies with gloves of course today I decide to
assemble the three chilies ready to go out to the customer pulling up to the
window as the window opened they saw me pouring their chili and yelled I don't
want those I don't want him to do it my manager was collecting and told them to
hold on a moment I have no idea why they were bugging my manager echoed this
sentiment I took the chili I already poured them poured it back into the pot
from whence it came poured it slowly from high up then headed the empty chili
cups to my ungloved manager who did his best to scoop the exact same chili into
those three cups the best part is that while my manager was scooping away I had
to collect meaning I was now 10 feet closer to them handing them their food
directly speaking to them directly way they clearly did not like this they
trumped through the rest of the transactions looking at their chili like
it's radioactive I was nicest pie to them and enjoyed that moment of
pettiness a little too much as they hobbled off into the sunset in their
Mercury Tracer to this day I don't know what their problem was with me unless op
is like drenched in sweat or there's like Snot dribbling out their nose I
don't get what the problem here was the bottom line people are weird if my work
is that bad then it would be better for everyone if I quit my last job was okay
but not fantastic we were always short staffed and as a result we had to make
up any time lost due to absence or realness but the real trial was our boss
who was one of those seagull bosses always wanting drastic changes to
everything no matter how unnecessary they were or how much harder it would
make our work he also constantly threatened to fire people I'd had to
screw up the previous year I admit it was on me and my supervisor a very good
one helped me to sort it out and make sure it didn't happen again but we had
received some customer complaints and I was paranoid about getting more and oh
boy did the boss like to hold that over my head anyway more than a year later
and I apply on a whim to a very well-regarded company in my town to my
surprise I get the position it's much better run and organized so it's a great
deal but I do feel a bit bad for my old work since we're about to hit a very
busy season at least until my boss called and said he'd received a
complaint about me and I needed to shape up or I'd be fired I was really upset
but then wait a minute it's been the Dead season just now I haven't done
anything to get complaints I messaged my supervisor and yep no complaints since
the last year boss was either making it up or pretending the complaints were
from this year so I decided this was the perfect opportunity I messaged my boss
and told them that since there were so many complaints and I wasn't getting any
better it would be best for me to step down for my role as I obviously could
not do it immediate back pedal on his part suddenly the complaints didn't mean
anything I could get a raise sick leave anything since it wouldn't be the first
time he'd promised us the moon and delivered a bowl of dirt I didn't budge
he'd been telling me all year that I was on the verge of being fired and wasn't
good enough for my role so it was best I go he hung up and got the poor
supervisor to call instead and she twigged pretty quickly when I mentioned
where I'd be working now and all but said that if she got the chance she'd
jump shipped for that too anyways been on my new work for two years now and
it's great no regrets I'm guessing their
threats were to try to keep these people working hard or not getting too
comfortable with their job but like op I'd rather quit than work with that also
hi I'm Steven and if you enjoy awesome stories of malicious compliance why not
hit that subscribe button down below no pass no entry this happened quite a few
years ago I started a new job in it support after a couple of weeks training
and orientation I was put on my first early shift I.T support were always the
first in the building to make sure all the systems were good before the Working
Day started so I was given my own key to the front door to unlock the building
the entrance had a kind of air lock system the outer door was unlocked but
then there was another automatic door that needed a swipe card to open it
everything was fine for the first few days entered the building got on with
the work then this particular morning as I unlocked the door the head of HR
walked up behind me I recognized them as
he had sat in on my job interview I said good morning swiped my card and walked
in he followed me as soon as we were in the building he pulled me up and told me
I shouldn't have let him in without him swiping his pass his argument was that
he might have been fired the day before so that might have been trespassing the
swipe card system wasn't used to monitor people's work hours or anything like
that I apologize profusely and he said he'd let it go this time as I was new
Fast Forward two weeks I'm unlocking the door and a complete stranger walks up
behind me and tried to follow me in I turn around and ask him to use his pass
he says he's forgotten it I say that I can't let you in then he drops the
bombshell but I'm the CEO I apologize and say sorry I only have your word for
that and I'm under strict instructions from the head of HR not to let anybody
in without a pass on pain of disciplinary action he got quite angry
and said again he was the CEO I apologized again but left him in the
airlock with a face like thunder and heard him shout something like I'll have
your job for this as I walked away later that day I got a phone call from the
head of HR I thought he was going to bollock me but instead he said that I
did the right thing and that he was going to get the CEO go to apologize to
me I did get a short email from the CEO to that effect later in the day
sometimes even in the face of adversity you've got to do the things you know are
right even if it's somebody with authority that's trying to talk you down
and who knows maybe this could have been a huge test send the CEO in as a dummy
and see if somebody's foolish enough to ignore the policy do your job fast oh
and also right years ago I worked as a subcontractor testing groundwater Wells
fresh out of college I was just happy to get a job post 08 crash and was fairly
naive about work climate workload expectations and work-life balance I got
hired on as a field technician for a subcontracting company that tested
groundwater Wells servicing a wide range of environmental consulting firms oil
and gas and state agencies we typically ran solo pumping Wells sampling and
shipping samples off and the hours in work could be grueling as I try my best
to find follow those standard operating procedures my project managers
consistently complain about my pace of work I'm regularly running overtime by a
few hours each week and they make it clear that they'd prefer I work fast
enough to complete each day within eight hours because of course you want to get
home at a reasonable hour every day they even go so far as to give me a time
limit per groundwater well that would ideally bring me home each day before
overtime except they don't account for Big City traffic traffic control that we
set up if sampling in the street groundwater well recharge rates varying
seasonally Etc and about six months of trying my best to fulfill their
expectations I realize the managers either want me to outright a lie on my
paperwork skip my own lunch or skip steps in the outlined workflow to
achieve their goal of bringing me home on time each day cue malicious
compliance I continue to show up and start my day at 4 30 a.m to beat traffic
in in the morning but now I didn't do anything in a rush I carefully followed
every step outlined by our standard operating procedures I take my full 30
minute lunch break and bathroom breaks whenever I feel the need I'd chop it up
with the Auditors if they showed up on site basically I did my job did it
correctly and without a rush which unfortunately for the company's payroll
always had me sitting in rush hour traffic at the end of the day logging in
12 to 14 hour days five days a week my Peak was 72 hours worked in one week the
company was in such desperate need of workers because of high turnover that
they couldn't let me go the project managers gave up on trying to push me to
move fast and as a single guy I've loved the cash machine I discovered come to
find out the company was abusive to a lot of my co-workers I stayed for the
year of experience made good money and quit I moved on to bigger and better but
always treat any subs I work with to lunch I just loathe the idea of working
in a job where you're expected to work you know as hard as two or three people
get done on time have pressure placed on
you to skip lunch breaks bathroom breaks I mean when you hear the stories of
people who work for a certain large online retailer having to go and pee in
bottles just to make it work it's just insane a treasure chest so a few years
back on a rainy morning I was driving to work I had a turn coming up and the car
behind me was riding my tail very close me being the little anxiety ball I was
didn't slow down nearly enough for the rain I ended up running off the road
into a ditch and hitting a plastic sign this was my first accident I was
mortified and a bit shaken up I ended up not having any damage to my vehicle and
didn't have to file a report fast forward to me at my second job and I'm
telling a co-worker about my experience as it turns out the sign I hit belonged
to the company her boyfriend worked at I asked her to apologize for me and went
about my day this being my first accident or really incident of any kind
I didn't think to reach out enough for compensation for the destroyed property
I was quite young and naive fast forward again to a week or so later and I got a
call in my second job someone who worked at the company of that destroyed sign
was on the other end when I answered he immediately started yelling that I had
destroyed their property I hadn't reached out to them and that I needed to
immediately pay 75 or they were going to call law enforcement on me I was more
than happy to pay and put up no resistance at all but was quite
perturbed that he immediately started to
threaten me before giving me a chance to explain apologize or agree to pay cue
malicious compliance that night I went to the bank and explained the situation
to the teller I told her I needed to withdraw 75 dollars but I wanted it in
pennies after hearing during what happened she suggested I do it in
nickels because they weigh more so I ended up getting 74 dollars in nickels
and a dollar in pennies but it doesn't stop there after receiving the coins
neatly rolled I unrolled every single one and collected them into a box the
next day at work a man came to pick up the money I pointed at the cardboard box
he picked it up with a puzzled look but didn't open it and didn't say anything
the next day a woman and her kids came over turns out she was the wife of the
owner and she wanted to understand why I gave all coins I explained my side of
the story and why I was so upset she ended up apologizing for the way I was
treated and said that her kids thought that they'd found a treasure chest when
they opened the box it worked out in the end but if I could redo it I would have
been more upfront instead of malicious compliance I'm almost certainly willing
to bet that this was an empty thread by the company so I don't really blame op
for doing what they did because let's be real if the sign replacement costs 75
dollars I highly doubt that they're actually going to call law enforcement
and deal with all that because at that point it becomes a grander situation
where all of a sudden they have the burden of proof and also the cops have
to be interested enough in a 75 dollar sign to even go along with it as you
wish this happened a couple or three decades ago in the military I was in
charge of the Squadron budget and made sure that all unit expenditures were
proper write funds account and funds were available I was also to make sure
that our budget lasted the whole fiscal year we got a new commander who was the
worst micromanager I saw in my 20-year career I made an appointment for my
initial budget brief and proceeded to lay out our current expenditures funding
available and the plans to spend it all by the end of the fiscal year my new
Commander then tells me that he wants oversight on every penny spent in the
Squadron I said I could do that but I needed some clarification he said very
condescendingly did you not hear me Sergeant I said every penny I will
approve every penny spent in the Squadron before it is spent I said yes
sir do you want me to send paper requests or email them to you he said
email would be sufficient and dismissed me I knew exactly what to do I called
all the bosses who ran the different shops and told them what the commander
had said and that I had no choice but to comply none of them were happy and a
couple of them caught the tone of my voice and figured out what I was doing I
even told the Squadron Chief what was going to happen and he told me that he
would have my back so I took all 27 spending accounts down to zero dollars
available even the most critical aircraft Parts couldn't be ordered until
they sent me an email which I forwarded to the commander he never once responded
it took two weeks for everything to hit the fan it was longer than I thought it
would take and I was starting to get nervous we were in a staff meeting and
the commander was pissed he had just gotten his butt chewed by the colonel
because of all the broke airplanes waiting on parts to be bought he turned
to the first flight Chief and asked him why he had so much equipment that wasn't
getting fixed the chief said with a straight dead Poker Face Sergeant so and
so won't approve us buying any parts the commander whipped his head towards me
and angrily asked what the problem was I looked him straight in the eye and said
sir I sent those requests to you two weeks ago you could see the color
deranged from his face as he quickly looked down we'll talk about this after
the meeting I kept my straight face and I swear that I heard more than one
muffled chuckle from the Chiefs at the conference table when the meeting was
over the commander told me to meet him in his office the chief that threw me
under the bus winked at me and smiled I walked in right behind the boss and
reported formally we normally only do this if we were in trouble or getting
praise but this guy insisted on it from everyone every time Mike apparently I
was down on a first name basis you seem to have a pretty firm grasp on the
budget and what the flights need I think you can approve the normal day-to-day
stuff and just bring the big things to me yes sir was all I could say without
busting out and laughter every request was approved and ordered within an hour
and I was never questioned again when you have some demanding boss somebody
who always finds something to call you out on there's not much more a thing
satisfying than watching them display their total incompetence even more so if
you can be the one to call it out to them like op did do you want it done
right or do you just want deniability if someone tries to sue many years ago I
got a temp job at a local soap shop you know the fancy kind where it's five
British pounds for a bar of handmade soap the manager didn't like me I did
things thoroughly and methodically not quickly and good enough for now I also
have a very good memory and I remember things people say and do especially if
those things don't add up the man manager would exaggerate things that
make her look good and conveniently forget things which didn't go her way I
thought she had made a genuine mistake so I corrected her once and she never
forgave me it was time for the monthly deep clean and I was tasked with doing
the stairs the shop had a metal spiral staircase which led up to the storeroom
and we had to go up and down it with massive jugs of warm water so that the
customers could try the products given the nature of the products there was
also soap flakes everywhere and they got stuck to this high traffic area there
was about a quarter of a centimeter of soap caked onto each step the manager
explained in front of most of the staff how important this job was and that it
had to be done right people could get hurt you see and you don't want that do
you op she spent more time than was necessary making it very clear that if
someone got hurt then I would be to blame it was also the most isolating and
tedious job it was obvious that this was revenge for my humiliating the manager
fine I went into my little world and started scraping she wanted all the soap
gone I would remove every scrap of soap half an hour later I had done a couple
of steps and I was told that I was being too slow she suggested that not all of
the scope needed to be removed only enough to make it less slippery I
replied that no I was doing it properly let's open the second layer is just as
slippery as the soap on the top layer so if this was a safety concern then
obviously I needed to remove all of the soap I reminded her that she didn't want
anyone to get hurt the manager continued
to criticize me for another half an hour until she had no choice but to swap me
with someone else she had publicly made a big deal of how important the job was
so now she couldn't backtrack and leave it a few days later she spilled a full
Basin of water down the stairs the four steps I'd cleaned were safe to walk on
all the steps she had assigned to someone else another six or so were
slippery is all heck and she slid down the stairs on her back she was off work
for several weeks and when she came back she tried to blame me for not doing the
job properly I reminded her that she slipped on the stairs which were cleaned
by someone else and that I was pulled off the task for being too thorough
fortunately it was a temp job and I moved on after a couple of months she
still worked works there and I've noticed that none of the other staff
last more than a year or two it's no great surprise to me that people only
last a year or two if they hadn't managed to somehow go and get themselves
fired by that manager Lord knows they themselves would be looking to leave as
soon as they could our next story is do you trust us I've worked in it at
universities most of my career several years ago I transferred to a new
University to try something new I immediately regretted it for several
reasons one the entire department was under review from HR for low morale a
survey was sent to the staff to gauge morale I later learned that the VP had
been demoted because of it before I was hired two the new director barely spoke
to me when hired and had her doors shut for almost three straight days three I
was asked to consider which of my staff I wanted to replace fire to better help
with the new software implementation later learned that they'd had several
lawsuits for wrongful dismissal 4. I I had two staff that lived 90 minutes away
that frequently asked to work from home during inclement weather I was told to
be strict about this and deny their requests of course if my staff called or
texted the director she would cave and let them uh five my director received a
promotion executive director and a consultant was hired as our new director
she was a consultant with the very company whose software we were
implementing foreshadowing now comes the craziness the VP brought in a group
therapist to meet with all of the managers we learned about team building
and that a good team has a foundation of
trust we had several managerial meetings after this where our old director and
the VP would Grill the mid-level managers about trust we were asked
bluntly who doesn't trust us everybody was afraid to speak up my anxiety was
now through the roof I had to be put on medication just to help me get out the
front door to go to work I I couldn't quit because I needed health insurance
for my family pre-obamacare now comes the malicious compliance they continued
to berate us about how trust was key over several meetings who doesn't trust
us I finally raised my hand you asked so
I'll answer you I said I don't trust you I've been in meetings where you've
belittled and made fun of our staff in front of vendors and clients who knows
what's being said about me when I'm not in the room you have unrealistic
expectations and the lowest morale of any place I've worked trust needs to be
earned they were a bit shocked that I'd answered them I was fired within two
weeks I was well liked by my colleagues which meant that whatever trust was
still out there crumbled immediately they replaced me with a consultant from
the same software company he was fired within a month trust was now completely
abandoned within the next year 75 percent of my department either quit or
retired thankfully I had already started interviewing for position before being
fired I found one within two months and have been there for 10 years best job
I've ever had unfortunately they're still up to the same Shenanigans just
recently 10 plus years later the university fired the whole I.T Division
and outsourced them to the same software slash consulting company the whole
universities in financial hot water having to cut 14 academic programs I
love that their focus on trust was never really about trust but about compliance
about submission I think every time they
had these meetings where they shoved the word trust in front of everybody and
they had everybody sitting there and they said who doesn't trust us they're
basically standing up there at the podium saying who isn't going to follow
my orders I'm glad op was willing to call them out our next story is some can
be taught others have to screw up first a customer called up to place an order
on October 10 2022 I said good afternoon widgets International this is squid how
can I help you Chuckles says hi this is Chuckles and I'd like to place an order
for widgets for everything and a bag of widgets location number one two three
four five after the order is placed I say all right what's the PO number they
say the PO is 10 10 22. I said are you sure sir everything in a bag of widgets
corporate usually requires a seven digit PO number and this looks like today's
date chuckle says you're new aren't you don't worry about it it'll be fine I am
most definitely not new and it will not be fine but okay sure I say very well
sir the order has been placed the order number is a b c e z a s one two three
you should receive it in about two weeks I place an internal note on the order
describing the conversation two weeks later I was lucky enough to learn about
the Fallout of the above conversation when I take the following call I say
good afternoon widgets International this is squid how can I help you they
say hi this is Chuckles from everything in a bag of widgets number one two three
four five and I want to know why I haven't received my order yet I say let
me look that up sir I check the notes recognizing the order I say it looks
like it's been delayed they say probably because of the girl I placed the order
with she was kind of Clueless dot dot dot yes I'm sorry about that sir she's
new and not terribly bright let me see if I can find the exact reason the order
was delayed I dig deeper into the notes and say here we are it looks like the
order's been delayed because we don't have a PO number they say I gave the
girl a PO number I say sorry sir I mean we don't have a legitimate PO number
everything in a bag of widgets corporate rejected it because it wasn't seven
digits and hmm because it was just the date you placed the order sorry sir the
girl you spoke to should have caught that we'll really need a new PO number
they say really oh sorry let me generate a new new PO number for you then they
say okay the PO number is two four six zero one three seven I say thank you sir
I've updated the order you should have it in about a week they say so long I
placed the order two weeks ago I say sorry sir some people won't listen until
you repeat yourself multiple times I'll make sure the girl knows what she did
wrong and I'll Rush this order as much as possible they say thanks you've been
a great help this story is great I just wish that Chuckles here could have
understood what they did wrong in the end Chuckles is like oh well that was
chipper I'm sure glad they could help us out and that girl sure was dumb I just
wish Chuckles left knowing that they were a fool to begin with this next
story is micromanaging 101. I'm an amused bystander to this I was working
on a compliance project at the time the practice had consisted of a single
compliance officer but the company had grown and responsibilities had been
split up into multiple departments the person who had once run the entire
practice alone was having a hard time handing off responsibilities to the
newly created departments and would find Petty ways to claw back control at any
time this person would also Panic about investigations that could prove that
previous work had not been done consistently so they would revise
procedures definitions Department requirements Etc to suit whatever agenda
happened to be at play sometimes this meant ignoring important things
sometimes this meant filing unnecessary reports things changed on a weekly basis
for some unfathomable reason this person was very concerned about in-person
coverage this entire department had worked remotely throughout coven all
other departments continued to work remotely this department had to be in
the office period to make things worse working hours were defined as 8 AM to 5
PM with a one-hour break on multiple occasions this person would complain
claiming some someone had mentioned that the department was deserted before 5 PM
on Fridays the day before holidays Etc didn't matter that the staff was working
around 60 hours also didn't matter that there was nobody there to complain as
this was the only department on site there were duties which occasionally
required someone to be on call until 6 or 7 PM on-call staffers suggested that
the person responsible could start late on those days but no the work day starts
at 8 A.M no exceptions the hourly staffers took two to three hour lunch
breaks so that they could still cover the required 8 AM start date be
available until 7 pm and still meet their no OT requirements the salary
exempt staff wasn't having any of it though calls were no longer answered
because staff was the work from 8 AM to 5 PM and there was to be no flexibility
regarding attendance staff got tired of this and mutually agreed to give this
person exactly what they asked for they started sending group texts of their
work lock screens showing that they were at their desks at 8 AM they had sent
texts showing that their computers had been locked at 501 PM I was briefly on
the sex chain and had to muted due to the barrage of daily Petty texts the
individual in question intended to mean that staff had to be there at least
between those hours unpaid overtime was totally reasonable but there was to be
no concession made to allow staff some flexibility in the way they split up
their working hours that couldn't be said for obvious reasons so they harped
on the 5 PM minimum end to work days as you can imagine this was followed by a
wave of resignations over a six-month period the department collapsed leaving
them with less staff than they had before the expansion great for us we
ended up winning a lucrative contract to manage and rebuild the their entire
practice the staff are responsible for this great resignation was found to be
incompetent after their work started to get reviewed independently the sheer
volume of missed issues became impossible to justify and this person
was eventually quietly replaced I honestly do think the future is going to
start moving more towards work from home
and situations like this could easily be remedied or at least made a little bit
nicer by shifting to a work from home environment I mean if you're trying to
get unpaid overtime from people maybe they'd be a little bit more willing to
do it from the comfort of their home that said our final story of the day is
Union overtime I worked in a factory on afternoon shift 3 pm to 11 pm in another
department were two lazy guys their Department was pretty much fully staffed
and their job was to basically clean the department make sure raw materials were
available for the next day that sort of thing on Fridays the day chef were often
asked to work overtime on Saturdays starting with the most senior employees
and working down the list these two guys were never asked usually Because by the
time they arrived for their Friday evening shift there were enough day
shift volunteers to cover what was needed they discovered that some of the
day shift volunteers had less seniority than they did so they kept their mouth
shut and for months they recorded each Saturday that a less senior employee
worked then they filed a grievance stating that they missed out on the
overtime because they weren't asked and should be compensated for all those
Saturdays the company said okay then cited a clause in the contract that said
they were only liable for only 30 calendar days as it was the employee's
responsibility to bring any wage errors to the company in a timely manner in
that past month there was one Saturday that a less senior employee worked this
Saturday so they paid each of these guys a day's worth of overtime then the
company transferred these guys back to day shift they objected to the transfer
and lost as it was an ironclad in the contract that the company has the right
to assign employees where they were needed both had preschool kids and both
had wives that work days dad would watch the kids while Mom was at work then a
babysitter or family member would come in and watch them for a couple of hours
between when dad left for work and Mom returned home not anymore they had to
arrange daycare for the full day at considerable expense mom had to leave
early to drop off the kids and dad had to pick them up on the way home but they
did manage to profit that single day's worth of overtime this is definitely a
situation where they should have known they had a good thing going if things
are good enough there's no need to rock the boat I say just ride the Lazy River
while you can solar installer got tired of me being frustrated with them back at
the start of this year I decided to get solar panels after putting it off for a
few years since several solar companies kept giving me bad vibes due to being
too pushy I ended up with my choice through my bank which I've always had a
good customer focused experience with unfortunately it started off badly the
customer service liaison was either way too busy or just didn't care much I
ended up getting coveted right as I got a hold of him so some video he needed to
decide how cabling could be run indoors through stairwells together with other
wiring as I wanted versus the front of the house literally took everything from
me as I was being rushed because if I accepted quickly still they'd install it
before the summer which would have been great given the rising Energy prices
alas I accepted and they had no installer time slots left so I patiently
waited while feeling frustrated until late August summer was gone but it was
my turn at last this game with a replacement for a different brand of
inverters the stated reason being that there was a defect with the old ones but
when I asked their customer service for more information they said it was
because they ran out so I felt lied to and more distrustful by the minute but
eventually they convinced me the original excuse was technically correct
because that's what they discovered earlier this year while I wasn't very
happy about the entire situation spelunking through some solar
communities seemed to confirm that based on the somewhat contrary specs shown on
the few different brochures I'd been sent this different brand of solar and
inverters were indeed okay products first came a subcontractor to modernize
my fuse box because my old one wasn't suitable for solar so well dudes I had
my best experience with them the trainee
ended up hammering the paint off my wall
because apparently the original Builders back in the 80s decided to save some
space and not include a backing plate but they ran off to buy some drywall and
fixed it up neatly save for the paint and I couldn't blame them for what was a
pretty unique circumstance unique to my residence several days later come the
actual contractors that install the actual solar panels and system polish
guys nice guys but I got very frustrated with them really quick early on for two
reasons that are not the language barrier the first is that I apparently
needed to have a certain amount of roof tiles ready in reserve that was news to
me my contact liaison never told me that they threatened to leave and come
another day which I wasn't happy about because I refused to be put on hold
until whatever the heck they'd have time again but I was thankfully able to get
my neighbor to come home so I could use his roof tiles since I couldn't find my
own in that unexpected Rush later that day I managed to find my own roof tiles
as well as got their customer service to send me the service terms that their
website didn't have available for download so it was no wonder that I
didn't see this request anywhere beforehand but I digress secondly the
leading guy was a very insistent on running the power line across the front
facade it's easier for us but that is ugly as heck since both my direct
neighbors had their own solar installed one over a year ago the other just two
weeks earlier without any such ugly cabling on the facade I demanded they do
it for the inside since it was clearly possible I could tell them exactly where
to run it through the inside parallel to
some heating pipes all these houses in a corner in the room right above the fuse
box I even went to verify with my neighbors on the day to show them
screenshots but okay I finally convinced that guy after I had to make manually
remove some panels from my attic because
they refuse to touch those and needed to see what was going on behind them the
fact that I could understand their limitations did not preclude me from
being very upset with the accumulating nonsense but the final frustration of
that particular appointment was that my setup to be four panels on either side
of my East slash west facing roof requiring one inverter for each side
couldn't complete its installation because they only brought a single
inverter so for the other four solar panels which were also a different model
than I ordered although apparently was slightly better going by the wattage
rating couldn't be mounted because the inverter had to be installed underneath
so now I had expensive solar panels sitting in my backyard Stormy Weather
and a promise that they'd come by the next week to finish the installation the
Polish guy requested that I please not call the company because of the trouble
with installing and I decided I'd give these guys the benefit fit of the doubt
by the time 14 days had passed I called customer service because I felt
forgotten about they plan in a new appointment the next day I go over to
somebody's to hang out and stay like till 8 pm at which point I see I had a
bunch of missed calls from a Polish number as well as my neighbor trying to
reach me for what turned out to be them suddenly rocking up to finish the
installation being one of those people who actually puts his phone on silent
and doesn't look at it while socializing
I lost my one opportunity to get it done quickly
on the last day of September the new installer agreed date happens and
everything finally gets installed and is shown to work the end right and then he
lived happily ever after as the performance readouts are done through a
cloud-based system the Polish contractors had created me an account
for this monitoring system that wasn't technically correct as several things
were wrong with it I didn't even get a chance to mail them about those issues
before I got an email the very next day giving me a new set of logins with a far
uglier username but I digress that replaced the previous account some of
the mistakes were fixed the one that wasn't is what this entire post is about
I emailed my customer liaison to explain that the physical map of my setup was
incorrect and that I'd like it fixed and how I'd like it fixed for future
reference I also discussed another technical issue that pisses me off and I
want it fixed but I'm omitting that from this post because it's enough of a long
mess as it is even though they keep mishandling their responses to that one
equally as much as this post's topic 10 days passed no response I wasn't too
surprised although their help desk kept asking me to please contact the customer
liaison instead of calling them each time I called for actual answers during
all the chaos described up above I already knew this guy was either
overwhelmed by or outright unsued suitable for his job then I received the
final bill with payment instructions so I decided to respond to their financial
department with a copy of my original email and saying that I'm not paying
until all the details are correct there's 14 days time to pay anyways and
given their performance so far I feel like the financial carrot will actually
get them to listen I finally get an answer to my email the next day what a
surprise the technician insists it's already correct and includes a
clarification of the setup which I've annotated with all other information
regarding my setup for clarity in this tale I repeat my arguments requests and
instructions which is basically Compass Points North but my solar panels like my
house face East and West I want them to either fix the compass North to point
left or rotate all the panels to the right resulting in two different columns
instead of two rows being rather frustrated at this point I also asked if
I was speaking in tongues because I didn't think that I was that bad at
communicating my needs and desires and I felt that their company was utterly
sucking when it came to communicating with me yes at this point I was treating
the company and by proxy the technician like a five-year-old who needed me to
spell out exactly what he needed to do because he clearly had trouble
understanding my previous email despite its five line Simplicity the week passes
I guess expedience he disappeared again but I do get an answer solar panels
rotated 90 degrees to the right including the text and present readouts
themselves at this point I faced Palm so hard yeah I kind of deserved that he
literally did as I suggested to rotate by 90 degrees but it's obviously not
what I meant I didn't even know the texts could be rotated too I
complimented him on his malicious compliance told him he made me smile and
ask them to fix it properly he'd also sent me a video in regards to my other
issue that I've omitted and that one didn't address my issue either so yeah
so many days and emails gone by and we're still at an 0-2 success rate in
regards to solving problems but I said I'd pay because fine he made me smile
well that end I just didn't want the legal nonsense of being late for paying
since the system as a whole was operational and these remaining issues
are unlikely to be fair to withhold payment over yet another few days later
and I have a gym together with an apology that he's not very familiar with
this system no crap throughout my many interactions I've already realized there
are various documentations don't include references to this brand I'd installed
whatsoever my building and house aren't perfectly North and South aligned
according to Google Maps so I guess he's right to slant it but if I use Google
Maps as my indicator the real slant is probably midway between a true vertical
line and what he produced for me meanwhile for my other undiscussed issue
he now gave me credentials to a special installer account to use with an
installer app that thankfully for operational security seems to be limited
to a test site that can't access the data from my own account so God knows
what use that's going to be for me I've got a distinct sense that he just wants
to be rid of me by offering me direct access to the back end stuff which isn't
direct access my apologies on how long this post ended up this was apparently
one of those rants that I've been sitting on for the past few months more
than necessarily malicious compliance I see this as like op just venting their
frustrations I mean let's be fair if any of us tries to make some big change to
their house most of us are probably going to feel pretty winded and stressed
if this is like an ongoing multi-month thing the details are never right you
have to keep petitioning for things to be done in a nice proper away I
definitely don't blame Opie for being exhausted it just especially sucks to
realize you demanded something that they gave you and to be fair you were wrong
to begin with to demand that which is directly what caused the screw-up on the
orientation of some of these panels by the way if you're enjoying these stories

never miss any of my daily videos that said our next story is from micro child
thanks for telling me what to do with my clothes so I recently went on a trip to
the states I'm from Latin America and it's kind of a famous family trip to go
to Florida to cities such as Orlando and Miami to buy things cheaper in Outlets
retail shops and thrift shops onto the story my family and I were on a retail
shop one of those amazingly big ones I picked a lot of things I can't lie after
I tried on most of them in the dressing rooms I took them all outside with me
and told the lady at the front of these rooms that I'd be talking and seeing
with my mom which things I'd actually buy she then told me that all the other
clothes I wouldn't be using and taking with me I could return them to the place
she was at in the moment the front desk of the dressing rooms and that she would
return them to their respective Place lo
and behold I checked which things I'd be buying and returned to this place
however this kind lady from before was gone and instead there was this other
Latina with a freaking attitude I mentioned she was Latina because I've
kind of realized on the trips I've made to the USA and through what other
Latinos from there have told me that Latin American people who live there are
quite competitive with each other and don't really help one another out it's
even clearer if you're not a resident than just visiting they look at you like
they're Almighty and have achieved the American dream because they somehow got
a resident Visa or at least got away with being illegals back to the story I
came back to the dressing rooms with about 10 clothing items all organized
with their hangers and blah blah blah as I mentioned this place was one of those
humongously big stores thus I didn't really remember from where I'd taken all
the items and I'd rather take them back to the fitting rooms so these people who
actually know where I got them from could return them to their places
instead of leaving them anywhere when I get back there I mentioned to the new
lady with the one from before had told me about returning the clothes there she
gives me a once over while scowling at me and says do you know how dressing
rooms work I was honestly confused because I mean yeah I do then she
proceeded to downsplain quite condescendingly how a dressing room
worked She Said So when you buy clothes and want to know if they fit you you
come to the dressing rooms you see if things fit you and if not then when
you're going out you give them to me and
I return them to their place if not then those clothes are your responsibility I
was mad I mean what's the purpose of being rude I smiled at her then and
asked can I try them on then since that's how this play works the
expression on her face was amazing of course she couldn't say no to that so I
go inside with my clothes and I'm back outside in less than five seconds I
simply tell her I didn't really like anything guess you'll have to put them
back it kind of makes me wonder if you're at some kind of store and you
grab a bunch of clothes to try on and you realize there's a lot of things you
don't actually want should it be your responsibility to go and put all of
these things back or is it ethical just to drop them all off there at the
changing room station for them to figure out later I know at least for myself I
obviously wouldn't want to have to go put them all back myself and I imagine
if you have customers try to do that a lot of things probably won't make it
back where they're supposed to go so maybe it's for the best that said our
final story of the days from Bex K don't want me to ride on the pavement okay
this happened many years ago in Europe where pavement is very common also most
but not all streets have about bike lane the law states that only children are
allowed to ride their bicycles on the pavement as a grown-up you have to use
the bike lane if there is one or the street if there's no bike lane present
and of course you have to ride on the correct side of the street I was a
somewhat lazy teenager even though I was using my bicycle every day whenever I
needed to go anywhere I wasn't very fond of abiding to the rules of the law I
used the pavement rode the wrong way even in one-way streets and so on but
never to annoy or endanger anyone to the story I was riding my bicycle on the
pavement because it was shorter this way so this guy's turning around the corner
and suddenly walking towards me I'm still quite far away clearly he didn't
like me riding my bike on the pavement he didn't say anything but he lifted his
arms with which he carried the groceries just to look bigger and take more room
trying to force me to use the street there would have been enough room for
the both of us but he wasn't going to let me pass easily I get it I was doing
something that isn't allowed cue malicious compliance I hopped off my
bicycle and pushed it which is totally legal to do but now I'm walking next to
my bicycle and all of a sudden there isn't enough room to pass each other
easily he was even more annoyed as he had to sway to walk past me apparently
in a lot of these places the age limit is like up to 10 or 12. under that you
can ride on the pavement just in case anybody was wondering well wasn't a teen
young enough to do so if it was kids only although I think it's easy to
empathize with OP I would hope most of us can agree that op I think was
literally breaking the law I could imagine in a place that has a lot of
foot traffic you'd get pretty sick of people using the pavement for the
bicycles but with that being said that's all the time we have for today now if
you want to hear another absolutely crazy compliance story check out that
video on the left or if you missed my latest video check out that video on the
right that said I'll see you all next time with some more stories | give me a good story on BestMALICIOUSCOMPLIANCEStoriesofRedditStories |

:00.260 --> :19.910 I’m going to start this story off by saying
that this is absolutely not one of my most :19.910 --> :24.311
shining moral moments and that I’m well
aware that I was a straight up asshole for :24.311 --> :25.620
doing what I did. :25.620 --> :30.170
My only real defense is that I was in a super
bad place mentally and needed a mountain’s :30.170 --> :31.170
worth of therapy. :31.170 --> :35.210
If you’re curious about the circumstances around her, check my profile.
:35.210 --> :38.190 Bitch was evil in human form.
:38.190 --> :39.989 Now, on with the revenge.
:39.989 --> :43.190 I was a weird kid growing up, REALLY weird.
:43.190 --> :47.539 It was mostly because I was being abused at
home and forcibly isolated. :47.539 --> :53.239
My social skills were so underdeveloped that
I had difficulty reading human faces aside :53.239 --> :56.699
from my Grandmother, Grandfather and Father. :56.699 --> :00.100
Being the weird kid meant the I was a juicy target for bullies.
:00.100 --> :05.050 It never stopped, but there was one bully
that I hated more than any of the others. :05.050 --> :06.900
We’ll call her Holly. :06.900 --> :12.260
This girl never passed up an opportunity to
make my life hell, and since she lived across :12.260 --> :15.700
the street from me there was nowhere I could avoid her.
:15.700 --> :19.400 Holly treated me like garbage; here are a
few examples. :19.400 --> :22.800
She put dog crap in our mail box on a regular basis.
:22.800 --> :26.720 She let my dog out of my yard and I was never
able to get her back. :26.720 --> :30.830
She would also sit on her porch with her friends
and roast the hell out of me to entertain :30.830 --> :34.650
them if I so much as put a toe outside of my front door.
:34.650 --> :36.860 It went on for years.
:36.860 --> :43.040 I hated her with the fiery passion of a thousand
suns, but while my grandmother was still alive :43.040 --> :45.430
there was nothing I could do about Holly. :45.430 --> :50.909
If I did anything to her or fought back in
any way my grandmother would punish me for :50.909 --> :55.990
it and I was more afraid of her than I was Holly, for a very good reason.
:55.990 --> :57.150 So I made a plan. :57.150 --> :02.229
I suffered through all the abuse and promised
myself that when I was older I would make :02.229 --> :04.660
Holly pay for what she did to me. :04.660 --> :08.619
Thinking of what I was going to do to her
when the time was right was sometimes the :08.619 --> :10.429
only thing that kept me going. :10.429 --> :16.700
Over time, Holly grew up, and eventually she
left me alone and stopped being an asshole, :16.700 --> :19.510
unfortunately for her by then it was too late. :19.510 --> :24.420
I didn’t give a shit about her new moral
epiphany, I had been nursing my grudge for :24.420 --> :28.299
two decades and it was time for a reckoning. :28.299 --> :31.170
I was going to destroy that bitch. :31.170 --> :36.569
When my Grandmother finally died, it was Go time, and I’d had 20 years to plan.
:36.569 --> :41.579 Iwasn’t idle while I waited, I’d made
it my mission in life to learn as much about :41.579 --> :46.920
Holly as possible, and to do it I became friends
with a few people on the periphery of her :46.920 --> :48.590
social circle. :48.590 --> :53.349
Eventually, I knew more about her and her life than her own mother did.
:53.349 --> :57.109 The first step I took in my plan was getting
her fired from her job. :57.109 --> :00.700
It took longer than I would have liked, but eventually I managed it.
:00.700 --> :05.840 Holly worked at a doctor’s office, and I
knew that the doctor she worked for was super :05.840 --> :06.840
Christian. :06.840 --> :09.040
Very straight edge, upstanding type of guy. :09.040 --> :12.430
He alsohad a huge influence on the local community.
:12.430 --> :17.359 I decided to become a patient at his office,
scheduling my visits to be on the days Holly :17.359 --> :18.919
was off work. :18.919 --> :24.040
After a couple of visits I just ‘happened’
to notice Holly in the staff photo on the :24.040 --> :25.439
waiting room wall. :25.439 --> :29.379
I made a show of looking surprised and then concerned.
:29.379 --> :33.309 I got to the exam room, and the doctor came
in shortly after. :33.309 --> :37.579
The expression on my face got his attention, and he asked me what was wrong.
:37.579 --> :42.459 I told him that even though I didn’t want
to, as a Christian I couldn’t keep my knowledge :42.459 --> :47.049
a secret and still sleep at night because
I just couldn’t let him endanger his soul :47.049 --> :49.769
and reputation by doing nothing. :49.769 --> :55.049
I had his full attention, then and I asked
him as one fellow Christian to another not :55.049 --> :00.239
to tell anyone where he got the information
I was about to give him, after he promised :00.239 --> :05.059
he would I told him that I knew that Holly was using illegal drugs.
:05.059 --> :09.280 He was absolutely floored and at first he
didn’t believe me. :09.280 --> :13.909
I told him that I understood his skepticism
entirely, but it was easy enough to prove :13.909 --> :17.320
or disprove my information with a drug test. :17.320 --> :19.519
If I was wrong, he lost nothing. :19.519 --> :23.600
If I was right he was saving himself from trouble down the road.
:23.600 --> :28.981 He finally agreed to test her, and he tested
everyone else too so that it didn’t look :28.981 --> :30.950
like Holly was the only target. :30.950 --> :33.410
See, I wasn’t actually lying. :33.410 --> :38.600
Holly smoked a shitload of weed, and I knew
that because it was my dad she used to get :38.600 --> :39.600
it from. :39.600 --> :42.340
He’d been her weed dude since she was like 15. :42.340 --> :47.690
Her test came back positive for marijuana and much to my surprise, xanax.
:47.690 --> :48.690 Oopsie. :48.690 --> :53.260
The doctor fired Holly on the spot when the
results of the urinalysis came back and then :53.260 --> :57.970
he called me to thank me for telling him what
was going on, and before he hung up he told :57.970 --> :00.660
me that I truly walked with the Lord. :00.660 --> :06.160
Y’all will never know how hard I had to
fight not to laugh at the depths of his wrongness. :06.160 --> :08.820
I thought I was going to pop a blood vessel. :08.820 --> :10.320
Phase one; complete. :10.320 --> :13.790
I know what you’re thinking, it’s just a job and it’s not like she can’t go get
:13.790 --> :15.120 another one , right? :15.120 --> :17.110
losing a job isn’t the end of the world. :17.110 --> :18.700
You’d be wrong. :18.700 --> :23.350
Remember how I said that her boss had a very high reputation in our area?
:23.350 --> :29.310 That man called every single hospital and
doctors office in the state personally to :29.310 --> :34.840
make sure that NONE of them would hire Holly
and risk liability and loss of community trust :34.840 --> :36.600
for associating with her. :36.600 --> :41.630
Holly’s field of study was all pertaining
to the medical profession, so her education :41.630 --> :44.670
was rendered worthless because nobody would hire her.
:44.670 --> :46.140 I wasn’t done yet. :46.140 --> :47.140
Nope. :47.140 --> :48.370 Not even close.
:48.370 --> :53.060 She lost her job, and because she had no income
her car got repossessed. :53.060 --> :56.170
She still had her family though, two kids and a fiancée.
:56.170 --> :57.520 Who needs families? :57.520 --> :58.520
Amirite? :58.520 --> :04.080
With the help of a good friend of mine, we
catfished the fuck out of her fiancée. :04.080 --> :10.270
My friend is hot AF, and she let me use pictures
of her to ‘prove’ that she was really :10.270 --> :11.270 real.
:11.270 --> :13.740 She even got on Skype with him once.
:13.740 --> :18.130 When he finally made the arrangements for
a face to face encounter and booked a hotel :18.130 --> :23.990
room I texted the screenshots of EVERYTHING to Holly from a burner number.
:23.990 --> :29.720 To say the excrement impacted the oscillating
unit would be a vast understatement. :29.720 --> :34.660
They broke up, the while thing was an ordeal and Holly was devastated.
:34.660 --> :39.651 She had two kids, no job, and now no fiancée
who could help her keep the family afloat. :39.651 --> :43.560
A normal person would have stopped then. :43.560 --> :47.210
Unfortunately I am not normal and I was going full scorched earth.
:47.210 --> :52.750 I seethed for twenty years, no way in hell
was I going easy on her. :52.750 --> :53.750 Phase Three.
:53.750 --> :59.470 With her fiancé gone and no job Holly was
struggling badly, she needed money and she :59.470 --> :02.960
needed it quickly before she and the kids got evicted.
:02.960 --> :08.890 Meth is a giant problem in my area, it’s
high risk but it’s also fast money and so :08.890 --> :15.750
I started subtly mentioning Holly’s situation
among my more legally questionable family. :15.750 --> :19.740
Eventually one of my family’s friends who
happened to be a meth cook got in contact :19.740 --> :24.770
with Holly and offered her a shitload of cash to let him cook dope at her house.
:24.770 --> :26.630 It was supposed to be a one time thing.
:26.630 --> :29.170 2 days and then done forever.
:29.170 --> :34.480 Holly was desperate so she said yes, everything
went smoothly at first but dead in the middle :34.480 --> :39.430
of the cook someone called in an anonymous
tip about an active cook in progress to the :39.430 --> :41.050
local narcotics unit. :41.050 --> :46.520
They rolled up on Holly’s house at about
3 am and caught everybody inside, including :46.520 --> :49.080
Holly red handed making meth. :49.080 --> :53.180
Watching her cry when they handcuffed her
and put her in that police cruiser was one :53.180 --> :57.590
of the most gloriously satisfying moments of my life.
:57.590 --> :03.340 She was in deep legal doodoo, and to make
a bad situation even worse, most houses where :03.340 --> :08.480
labs are discovered aren’t deemed habitable
afterwards because the toxic fumes from the :08.480 --> :14.090
chemicals used to make the drug get EVERYWHERE
and it’s super hard and time consuming to :14.090 --> :15.090 clean.
:15.090 --> :19.330 It’s up to the property owner to either
hire a hazmat team to clean it, or condemn :19.330 --> :20.950
it and tear it down. :20.950 --> :23.400
A lab cleanup costs thousands of dollars. :23.400 --> :28.370
it would have cost more money to clean it than the entire property was worth.
:28.370 --> :32.110 So it got torn down, with everything Holly
owned still inside. :32.110 --> :36.330
See, you can’t take things out of a meth lab because they’re going to be covered
:36.330 --> :37.610 in toxic residue. :37.610 --> :42.130
It can make you VERY sick, especially young children.
:42.130 --> :45.350 Everything in the residence is usually counted
as a loss. :45.350 --> :50.890
Now, some people sneak in and grab stuff anyway,
but whatever, it’s their funeral but since :50.890 --> :55.960
Holly was still sitting in jail, there was
no way for her to get anything and none of :55.960 --> :00.560
her close family were interested in risking
getting caught sneaking into the house and :00.560 --> :04.460
being accused of stealing or tampering with a crime scene.
:04.460 --> :09.380 Holly ended up in jail for a while, and while
she was gone the court gave their father, :09.380 --> :15.820
Ex Fiancé, sole custody of their children,
and Holly was only given supervised visitation. :15.820 --> :19.040
Two hours every Saturday if I recall correctly. :19.040 --> :24.170
Revenge is a dish best served cold, and mine was freezing.
:24.170 --> :29.450 I was behind every single bad thing that happened
in Holly’s life , in one way or another :29.450 --> :31.960
for an entire five year period. :31.960 --> :36.270
She decided she liked bullying me and making
my life hell and she figures there would never :36.270 --> :38.190
be any consequences. :38.190 --> :44.740
Instead, I took her reputation, her job, her
fiancé, got her arrested and convicted of :44.740 --> :50.490
a felony and her children taken from her and
the best part is that she has no clue I did :50.490 --> :52.320
it to this very day. :52.320 --> :57.910
She’d forgotten about me, what she did to
me impacted my life forever, but to her it :57.910 --> :01.880
wasn’t even important enough to her to bother remembering.
:01.880 --> :06.530 I was nothing to her, so she never connected
me to her problems. :06.530 --> :12.570
Last I heard she was in rehab for alcoholism
and had her parental rights terminated permanently.
:12.570 --> :17.450 After she lost her kids she just sort of gave
up and crawled into a bottle and never came :17.450 --> :18.450
out again. :18.450 --> :23.500
I was tempted to tell her, but I decided that
the helplessness and confusion about why everything
:23.500 --> :28.591 suddenly went to hell in a hand-basket was
the better plan, because that means that every :28.591 --> :33.550
now and again I can contact her and pretend
to give a shit about her troubles to get a :33.550 --> :37.390
fresh revenge boner about her newest tale of woe. :37.390 --> :40.570
She thinks I’m the nicest person she’s ever met. :40.570 --> :48.190
So I posted this in pro revenge and it got
removed cause apparently my old friends are :48.190 --> :50.060
bad ass haha. :50.060 --> :56.700 So i thought I'd toss it in here.
:56.700 --> :00.140 Hello happy internet people!
:00.140 --> :08.730 This may not be quite pro..but it definitely
isn't petty! :08.730 --> :11.310 So here goes!
:11.310 --> :16.320 I used to work in an office that did promotions
for local charity events and fundraisers. :16.320 --> :23.240
Crap pay but awesome co-workers and the blueberry
scones in the office cafe were flat out amazing! :23.240 --> :28.680
Our office was small as offices go, about 20 employees including the 2 managers.
:28.680 --> :32.470 Our top boss -who I will call Bob was really
sweet. :32.470 --> :36.770
Constantly having friendly contests with prizes for the most donations and such.
:36.770 --> :40.990 (I won a basketball that I donated to the
kids in my church haha) He was the kind of :40.990 --> :44.900
guy that would give you $20 from his own pocket if you needed lunch money.
:44.900 --> :46.230 I miss him. :46.230 --> :47.890
But I digress! :47.890 --> :53.140
Our office was a lot like the TV show, we
were a close family of sorts who celebrated :53.140 --> :57.800
each other's birthdays, drew names at Christmas and ate lunch together.
:57.800 --> :05.060 All was rainbows and flowers until Steve strode
into our happy kingdom of blissful sunshine. :05.060 --> :06.230
Steve was tall. :06.230 --> :07.640 Steve was large.
:07.640 --> :10.400 Steve had a thing for girls with big boobs.
:10.400 --> :16.450 Steve had been fired from the hospital morgue
for having relations with um..the deceased. :16.450 --> :21.790
Into Steve's line of vision came my friends
and myself..the 3 girls in the office who's :21.790 --> :23.560
attributes appealed to him. :23.560 --> :27.770
Day 1 Steve sidled over to our end of the office and leered at us.
:27.770 --> :28.770 Hey ladies! :28.770 --> :30.810
(Staring at our chests) :30.810 --> :33.640
We mumbled , shifted and went back to work. :33.640 --> :34.660
No problem right? :34.660 --> :36.740 OH how wrong you are!
:36.740 --> :42.800 This began a daily onslaught of touching,
rubbing, comments, stroking our hair, lewd :42.800 --> :46.170
remarks and pouting because we didn't reciprocate! :46.170 --> :47.460
We went to Bob. :47.460 --> :49.140 We went to second manager.
:49.140 --> :50.800 They threatened him. :50.800 --> :52.339
It continued. :52.339 --> :56.630
Until the day I was on the phone with a client
and he grabbed my arm in a vice and started :56.630 --> :00.890
whispering in my ear - while I was talking to the client!
:00.890 --> :05.470 I was struggling to stay professional while
trying (and failing) to get away from him. :05.470 --> :08.410
I finally hung up, and screamed LET GO OF ME! :08.410 --> :10.380
While bursting into tears. :10.380 --> :11.820 Now this was the 90s.
:11.820 --> :15.270 Recognition for sexual harassment was still
in its infancy. :15.270 --> :18.350
Help for it was almost non-existent. :18.350 --> :20.240
Unless you worked in our office haha. :20.240 --> :25.500
2nd manager came roaring over, hauling Steve off me and making sure I was ok.
:25.500 --> :27.240 Told me to take the rest of the day.
:27.240 --> :30.240 THE REVENGE ....and the surprising outcome!
:30.240 --> :33.990 I went home and took the next day as well
to settle my nerves. :33.990 --> :37.430
When I returned to work, the office was buzzing. :37.430 --> :41.410
The girls gathered around me asking if I knew what had happened after I left.
:41.410 --> :42.410 Nope? :42.410 --> :47.000
The guys in our office gathered in the hall
and waited for Steve . When he came out for :47.000 --> :49.300
a smoke, they jumped him. :49.300 --> :54.709
Pinned him up against the wall and while I
was never privy to what was said I was let :54.709 --> :58.490
know they beat him pretty good and put the fear of God in him!
:58.490 --> :03.709 Steve didn't return for a few days, when he
came back he was a broken man, black eye, :03.709 --> :04.980
bruised face. :04.980 --> :09.930
He came up to me and loudly apologised saying
he knew how wrong he was and promised to play :09.930 --> :11.440
nice from then on. :11.440 --> :13.000 THE OUTCOME!
:13.000 --> :14.589 Steve was a changed man!
:14.589 --> :17.520 Turns out he was actually a pretty decent guy!
:17.520 --> :21.840 While eating lunch one day, someone brought
put a cribbage board and everyone was surprised :21.840 --> :26.020
to learn I didn't know how to play so Steve offered to teach me.
:26.020 --> :30.960 I found I love the game and Steve and I quickly
became the team to beat going on to win the :30.960 --> :32.620
office championship! :32.620 --> :37.880
I left there a few years later, when i left
everyone chipped in for gifts and cards, and :37.880 --> :39.300
Steve gave me a hug. :39.300 --> :40.870
I hugged him back.In World War II, Eliahu
Itzkovitz was a Romanian Jew held prisoner :40.870 --> :41.870
in a concentration camp. :41.870 --> :43.960
At the age of 13, he witnessed his family
get murdered by a guard, named Stănescu. :43.960 --> :44.960
He vowed revenge. :44.960 --> :46.640
After the war, he received permission to emigrate
to Israel, where he joined their defence force. :46.640 --> :47.950
He never forget about Stănescu, and frequently asked about him.
:47.950 --> :50.680 Soon, he got word that Stănescu had made
it out of Romania at the end of the war, and :50.680 --> :51.780
had fled to France, where he joined the French Foreign Legion.
:51.780 --> :52.780 Itzkovitz waited for his opportunity.
:52.780 --> :53.780 Some time later, Itzkovitz was serving on
an Israeli warship that had docked in Italy. :53.780 --> :56.420
He deserted, and made his way to France, where
he also joined the French Foreign Legion. :56.420 --> :59.230
After basic training, he asked to be sent
to Indochina, where Stănescu was fighting. :59.230 --> :02.030
It took some doing, but eventually Itzkovitz
got himself assigned to Stănescu's unit. :02.030 --> :03.030
Then he waited patiently... :03.030 --> :05.339
There was a firefight, and Itzovitz and Stănescu
were pinned down, and awaiting reinforcements. :05.339 --> :06.410
Itzkoviz called out, in Romanian, "Stănescu! :06.410 --> :07.410
You are Stănescu, aren't you?" :07.410 --> :08.410 "Yes, but....."
:08.410 --> :09.450 "Stănescu, I am one of the Jews from Chisnau."
:09.450 --> :11.010 Then Itzkovitz emptied his machine gun into
Stănescu's chest. :11.010 --> :12.010
He was brought back to Israel, and tried for desertion.

I caught my wife's ex coping a feel they
claim it was a joke aah for not letting it go they've been friends for over 20
years I've always been cool with it but suspicious of him we were walking to a
concert together and I stayed back to use the restroom they didn't know I
caught up and was behind them he rubbed her back then dropped his hand down and
squeezed her ass she nudged him away but more playfully than angrily in my mind
after processing for a minute I walked ahead and asked her what the was
that and described what I saw she said it was a joke about having some insect
bites that itched I didn't want to make a scene and ruin the day at this
Festival so I waited until we were back home to bring it up again she agreed he
shouldn't have done it but denies it was anything more it's been eating away at
me for days mostly because I gave him the benefit of the doubt and trusted
their relationship was just friends he's married and has kids but I've always
suspected he's still pining away for her and this proves it to me plus there was
a similar incident about 8 years ago that made me feel the same way she
maintains it wasn't a big deal but I felt depressed and defeated not knowing
if I can trust either one of them anymore she doesn't recognize how much
it's with me am I overly paranoid and overreacting thanks for letting me vent | give me a good story on IcaughtmywifesexcoppingafeelTheyclaimitwasajokeAITAHfornotlettingitgo |

teacher said no Katie asked another time five minutes later the teacher said no
again five minutes after that Katie asked again but said that the teacher
was not going to like what happened if the teacher didn't let her go the
teacher hit the roof and said that if she said one more thing Katie would be
sent to the principal Katie Shrugged and said this is on you then and pissed on

today we have a crazy story of Revenge going wrong we'll get into that in a bit
but first constantly let your dog crap on my lawn enjoy your smelly garbage
cans for context I live in a small cul-de-sac with four other houses we're
all pretty close and friendly since it's a small neighborhood except one house
they keep to themselves and are generally pretty inconsiderate with
noise ordinances and such I'm talking doing loud machine work at 6 45 a.m on a
Saturday I have a large dog and his poops are sizable I don't like to let
them poop on the front lawn since I've put a lot of work into making it look
nice suddenly I start finding poops that were not his I could tell based on size
and a few other factors that these were not my dog's craps the first few I let
go just picked up and tossed but after finding one almost every single morning
for weeks I had enough I checked my doorbell camera and lo and behold my
neighbor was letting their dog crap on my lawn then just calling them back and
going inside the final straw was watching their dog dig into my flower
bed which I had previously attributed to
squirrels or rabbits since we have a lot in our area I tried speaking to them
about it a few times but they actively Dodge interactions with all other
neighbors in our cul-de-sac I go outside while they're washing their car they
drop the hose and go inside for a while I try to catch them in the morning
before work they either hustle into their car or go back inside it's the
most childish thing I've ever seen cue the Revenge Fridays are garbage days so
most folks get their cans out Thursday night since it comes so early in the
morning for four days I picked up the crap and stored it in a box unbagged I
used a bag to pick it up at 11 PM as I'm letting my own dog out before bed I
empty that box into their garbage can and waited our local municipality has
strict rules on animal waste mainly that it must be bagged I work from home so I
knew I'd see that pickup happen the can was pulled over and once they flip back
the lid to get it into the truck that worker immediately closed it and slapped
them with a fine for unbagged waste it likely won't stop the pooping but the
Revenge was sweet does anybody just feel bad for the garbage worker having to go
and pull that can and flip it open and meet one of the gnarliest smells in a
job where you have nothing but gnarly smells also hi I'm Steven and if you

buttons down below that said our next story is finally got payback on an
ex-coworker this was a few years ago but it ran across my mind today for some
reason when I was 20 I started a job as a teller at Wells Fargo at this specific
location it was a trailer or that's what
we called it anyway just picture a super long skinny building also this was only
for drive through it was located next to the actual bank this drive through had
eight drive-ups and two Pull-Ups for merchants the merchant pull-ups were
literally on the building and the others were in front picture a Sonic fast food
place four of the drive-ups were on one side of the trailer and another on the
other side it took at least five of us to man this on a slow day well one day
my boss let everyone go to lunch at once except for the three of us myself Kim
and Jessica well my half of the trailer where I was completely by myself had a
man the four drive-throughs and the merchant if you know doing the merchant
is time consuming there's typically a lot of cash being deposited which takes
time obviously to count Etc well on this day Kim and Jessica just didn't feel
like working literally just sat there as I was trying to help five separate
people at once Jessica walks over and tells me to hurry up and people are
waiting I look at her in disbelief I asked her to help while Kim just sat
there staring at me I got so ticked off I called Jessica a bench straight up
well my idiot boss comes back from her lunch and Jessica goes straight to her
and complains about me I got written up my boss could not have cared less of the
circumstances oblivious to the lack of scheduling on her part whatever anyway I
ended up getting fired because Jessica just couldn't let it go she was
traumatized also didn't help my boss kept making me work the merchant Lane if
you know about being a teller you know that a merchant teller requires
experience this was my first teller job ever okay so the fun part years later I
opened an account at a local credit union it was just an account for fun
money totally forgot about it after like a year and realized it was in the
negative can't even remember how that happened but it was literally like three
dollars so I go in to take care of it and lo and behold there's Jessica she
immediately recognized me I go to the counter and another girl puzzle up my
account I immediately tell her why I'm there of course well Jessica sees this
as an opportunity to embarrass me me also there's at least four other account
holders in the small Lobby the teller that's helping me had to call a number
to reset the account well Jessica walks over leans over this girl and loudly
says her account is in the negative she needs to pay that first and then glares
at me and smirks oh heck no so I let the girl finish the call and get things
squared away get my account to like a 100 balance not much but again this is
just my fun money account I head out the
door and if ding to be me I run into the branch manager I tell her about Jessica
and that I was considering closing my account over it well about two hours
later I get a call from the branch manager and she apologized profusely and
told me Jessica had been let go because it wasn't the first complaint about her
and not the first time she had been unprofessional some people let their
benchiness guide them into a false sense of imperviousness you know know those
moments where you have to show up somebody so bad and you got that inkling
of an idea how to do it that you don't think about the consequences you don't
care that you're a bank teller at work on the job in front of all these other
people our next story is I got my sixth grade bully fired and his girlfriend to
break up with him when I was in sixth grade I was being bullied by this boy in
my grade we'll call them Tom he bullied me every day especially during PE class
I remember thinking about how I was going to enact my revenge on him one day
well fast forward to 10 years later I'm working at a popular lunch spot and my
manager asked me about hiring this new guy named Tom I knew it was him and I
gave him a bad recommendation but that wasn't the end of it because he still
got hired I found out that Tom had a girlfriend who he was trying to keep a
secret anyways one of my co-workers who happened to be the niece of the owner
tells me she has a big crush on Tom and that they hooked up the other night I
say to her that's crazy did you know about his girlfriend to say she was
shocked was an understatement my co-worker immediately asked me for the
girlfriend's Facebook information which I eagerly gave to her she writes up a
beautiful Facebook message to Tom's girlfriend telling her everything that
had happened between them the night before and then after that she goes home
and tells the owner about what a slime ball Tom truly was Tom got fired like a
week later and his girlfriend broke up with him once a slime ball always a
slime ball I suppose is slimeball actions were almost inevitably going to
lead him to end up here right our next story is want to go through pedestrian
Zone with your motorbike you'll ride at pedestrian Pace this happened yesterday
I was out for a run and I was going through a park where there are some
small let's say Trails it's in the city so don't image mountains and such just
quite narrow unpaved roads let's say narrow Central Parkways if two people
meet one has to go slightly out of the way to pass almost marginal for a small
motorcycle so this park in a way cuts my area in two and if you want to transit
to certain places you have to go around as I believe in any part of the world
anyway a lot of motorcycle users the smaller ones as the bigger wouldn't fit
like delivery people Etc tend to go through the part and its Trails instead
of taking the five minutes normal round this is of course forbidden against the
law and of course dangerous for the pedestrians as there are a lot of
families with small children learning to walk or bike strollers Elders walking
Etc so as it was running I saw a motorcycle about to come into the trail
I was on so I told the guy that he shouldn't come through here and go
around quite politely I must add as a typical Greek guy he started shouting
that he can go wherever he wants and I should shut up band and then so okay
please be my guest and get on the trail he's behind me and if I don't move to
the side there is absolutely no way he can get through without hitting and
injuring me as you can guess I never gave way only for a couple of older
ladies coming from the opposite side on their walk that were also critically
staring at him I also slowed my running to a point it was more of a walk he had
to stay behind me for about five minutes which is less than the time it would
have taken him to use the normal Road of course shouting the whole time but who
cares I know it's not much but I felt good people like that ruin nice things
you're supposed to be able to have a nice casual walk enjoy the trail enjoy
the park and then you have to deal with these people zipping and zooming right
by or you know getting right up on you and telling you to move to the side so
they can get by makes you wish that there were more officials patrolling to
you know actually make it seem like it was in forced the amount of people that
take these Trails makes it seem like there's nobody really there keeping it
in check our next story is try to drive me off the road good luck using your
mirrors this was around 2006 in raiding England I'm Dutch so I cycle to work
partly because it's fun partly because cutting through town on my MTV was about
10 minutes well it took me at least half an hour by car on most days but England
isn't as cyclist friendly as the Netherlands understatement and I'm a
stupid 20-something that likes to go fast so I Dash through traffic left and
right like a maniac enjoying the honks of startled drivers stuck in traffic one
day I get cut off by a driver deliberately pushing me towards the
sidewalk I was able to jump onto the sidewalk and gave him an unimpressed
little Applause which ticked him off even more unfortunately traffic cleared
at that point and he was able to follow me and try the same stunt again I wasn't
in the mood for his bowl and feigned going into a side street he continued
the end I thought not when I turned into the street of my apartment building I
noticed this car parked in my street that evening when I walked to the corner
shop it was still there decided I had to enact some petty revenge and folded in
his mirrors continued to do this over the next few weeks every time I saw his
car and I could get away with it one evening coming home from the pub I saw
the guy walking to his car completely losing it and shouting that he would
find the person touching his car and kill him I moved house a few weeks later
still makes me smile thinking about it though imagine though I missed all the
pain and frustration hope he had caused upon this person there was a day that op
bestowed a joy upon them when the mirror
stopped getting folded in by itself this next story is post my number on fake
mail for male casual encounter ads how about fake Craigslist ads bringing
hundreds of people to your door at 5 30 a.m in my mid-20s early 20 8 ends I was
looking for a used moped I found one on an online Marketplace the seller didn't
want me to go to him so he met me at my apartment complex it was a really big
apartment complex so we wouldn't actually know where I lived he pulls the
moped out of the back of his truck and two to three pieces literally fall off
of it it had a flat tire so I couldn't test ride it at this point I'm out he
starts yelling at me about how I'm a Time waster and how I should pay for his
gas I tell him office I'm walking away and that was that except he kept calling
and texting me talking crap I gotta admit it got quite juvenile between us
part of me was like just block this fool and be done but the petty part of me
liked watching him squirm because I was dropping rhetorical elbows on him pretty
much all of his insults were something about me being gay and liking gay sex
I'm straight and my then girlfriend was with me when I met up with him so after
a while I start feeding into it except I turned it around about his mom being a
dude and me being her top I told you very sophomoric and depraved think like
South Park type of dialogue after a particularly brutal exchange he stopped
and I thought it might finally be over the next day mid-afternoon my phone
starts blowing up when I say blowing up I mean like I was getting so many calls
that every time I answered one I'd have multiple missed calls and voicemails and
text messages as soon as I got off it took a while to figure it out but he had
put up multiple Craigslist ads all around the country for everything from
severely discounted Vehicles Great Deals On fake apartments and even male for
male casual encounters my phone was literally unusable could not dial it
because of constant incoming calls texts and quite a few hot dog pics I had to
borrow my girlfriend's phone to file a police report so they could get him to
stop after after a little time the cop calls me back with him on the line and
he basically gets us both to say we'll stop like a couple of kids getting a
warning from an elementary teacher or something and that was the end or so I
thought a couple months go by and the call start again again I call the police
but this time they're less than helpful basically asking me if I can prove that
it's him I thought I might need to take legal action to get it to stop so I
requested a copy of the police report the copy they sent me included his
address by mistake should have been redacted Booyah that Friday night I
posted a ton of fake Craigslist ads from a burner account about giving away tons
of household items bikes kids stuff clothes Furniture appliances you name it
the ads had a story about moving out of the country and needing it all gone ASAP
I put his address in the ads and said I'd be putting everything on the
driveway at 5 30 a.m sharp Saturday morning and if the item they wanted was
wasn't out yet to knock on the door he only lived about 20 minutes away from me
and I couldn't miss the show so I got to
his house and parked about a block up at 5am on the dot took the ads down to
cover my tracks and just waited for people to start showing up it was like
Black Friday on steroids people with pickup trucks and trailers box trucks
and plenty of people with regular cars too it was gridlock for a few blocks
around his house people honking like it was Rush Hour his lawn looked like a
freaking concert there were so many people him and his chick were going
absolutely ape crap his neighbors were waking up and yelling out their windows
I could hear his chick screaming I told you not to freak with that dude again
the funniest thing I've ever seen I was dead never got any retaliation I guess
he got the message he got me pretty good
but I got the better of him in the end I mean just imagine getting woken up at 5
30 am to wake up to an entire block full of
people furious with you because you have nothing put out for them literally an
angry mob and you're left like what is going on our next story is no tips no
problem this was over 20 years ago but when it comes to mind it still makes me
smile I was 20 and working for one of the largest event staffing agencies in
Chicago they're gone now but they were number one at the time and we were
contracted to work the opening of the new Nordstroms on Grand Avenue this was
a very big deal they needed so many bodies they also hired several of our
friendly competitors to cover all the bases I was very interested in becoming
a bartender but it was still a few months before I'd be turning 21. the
bosses knew this but were so hard up to meet their obligations they didn't care
and I ended up getting what can aptly be described as a crash course my training
for a position of extraordinary craft Nuance knowledge and precision was about
45 minutes long and so suddenly I was the only underage professional bartender
in the city I was stationed at a specialty Satellite bar which is to say
me and one other guy I think his name was Daniel had a small bar tucked away
on one of the upper floors of a huge multi-story shopping complex in women's
wear with only a few ingredients in huge quantities and responsible for making
only two cocktails the Harvey Wallbanger and The Madras this was a star-studded
event for the creme de La Creme of the city and with the huge volume speed
would be essential so he pumped out as many drinks as we could for a few hours
now no one is required to tip especially at an event where everything is already
paid for but it's a nice thing that encourages prompt and Professional
Service even favoritism in some cases and if you were in attendance at this
particular event you for sure weren't hurting for Capital but literally no one
would give us a dollar we were sweating hauling pumping smiling all the while
and people weren't even being polite about it let alone tossing us a quarter
for what I could describe as our Herculean effort it was frustrating
inevitably someone who just wanted a drink with no baggage came up and asked
for just the Vodka on ice and it was Top Shelf product Gray Goose if I recall So
Daniel poured them a pretty heroic amount they walked away without a word
not even a thank you for bending the rules at our own Peril I watched Daniel
do this and saw the look on his face and we caught each other's gaze and had one
of those moments where we communicated without a word we nodded at each other
and began our petty Vengeance the Vodka as I said was all paid for and we had a
lot of it on hand with reserves off the floor so we started pouring doubles even
triples pretty much exclusively all bets
were off want a screwdriver instead have a double with a lady prefer a simple
Cape Cod better make it a triple it's already bought so who cares Just One
vodka on Ice have an entire glass we're here to serve no one in charge cared if
we strayed from the recipe book but eventually a event Captain did approach
us to let us know that someone mentioned we were pouring a little heavy so maybe
pull back a bit we both said sure thing boss and went right on getting people
completely schmammered all sense of decorum and gentility evaporated around
our bar and after an hour we had people dancing in clothes and lingerie they
didn't pay for making out with mannequins just the works I know for
sure someone vomited in the swimwear aisle we still weren't making any tips
but it finally felt worth the effort at the end of the event when we were
breaking down our bar a younger guy we hadn't served we could tell because he
wasn't crap faced came up to our bar and said I used to do events and it's not
easy I could tell you guys were really working hard and you deserve
and tip this each a ten dollar bill he was the greatest Capper to a banner
evening and I salute him the rest of that crowd can pound glass honestly
sounds like the crowd had the time of their lives I'm not even sure what
Revenge op got here just have the time of your lives our next story is got back
sort of at the girl who stole my boyfriend in high school so backstory is
that her and I were friends all throughout high school she was known as
the school and Drug user and her mom would pimp her out she taught me how
to make my boobs look bigger so I liked her we didn't talk at all our senior
year I had dated the same boy throughout high school and we had broken up she
ended up getting with him and texting me about it her friends all tried to fight
me for some reason it was so much drama I was a kid so I felt some type of way
like you can sleep with him but why rub it in my face why try to fight me he
called me crying after the fact maybe that's why anywho Flash forward maybe
six to eight years later I manage a company directly below the owner one of
the employees wanted to use a work car to go pick a girl up I was excited for
the guy because he's kind of weird and doesn't get many girls kept bragging how
beautiful she was so I said send a photo I want to see I also like girls so we
would all talk about girls together I was the only woman at this job well it
was her so I said uh uh you can't use the work car to see her that was the
petty Revenge I was going after because now they couldn't hang out and I ruined
her night like she tried to ruin so many of mine whatever I thought that was the
end of it turns out she was needing him to take her to visit her kids she lost
custody and had to go somewhere public to see them she was drunk so she was
needing him to drive her so she still ends up driving herself to visit her
kids ends up hitting a pedestrian and went to prison for a few years I didn't
mean for all the extra to have happen but yeah the universe doesn't like ugly
I still don't feel bad some people might have guilt they feel like oh I could
have changed that all because I was feeling Petty I wanted to get revenge
but I just feel like it's the kind of thing that you can't put on your own
shoulders God forbid you beat yourself up with that what-if scenario our next
story is petty Revenge goes wrong 20 years ago I worked with a guy who was a
massive pain in the butt we worked in a small open plan office and he was just
the most annoying person you can imagine he would do things like sit at his desk
and run his hands through hair look at the whatever it was that he'd brushed
off his scalp and then wipe it onto the carpet he did this multiple times a day
he'd leave half full cups of coffee in his waist bin and the cleaner would
spill it on herself when she emptied it his grandparents bought him a house he
was about 22 years old with no mortgage the house had five bedrooms no furniture
and he lived in it alone he was awkward boastful and not very bright he never
paid for a shout when we were out for beers and never repaid people who bought
him coffees one day I asked after him had anyone seen Brad I think he's gone
to the toilet said Rachel our researcher so I walked down the hall and sure
enough he was sitting in a cubicle presumably doing a crap so I quickly got
a handful of paper towels and soaked them in water scrunching it into a ball
I threw the sopping bundle over the cubicle door he screamed blue murder and
I ran back to the office telling Rachel what I'd done and did not tell him I'd
left my desk Brad came back hair and shirt saturated and with bits of paper
towel in his hair he asked me why I did it but I denied any knowledge and Rachel
and I played dumb stifling that laughter was the hardest thing I have ever done
but he knew a week or so later Brad asks where I was to which racial replies in
the Lou Brad decides to get his revenge except that at that time I was actually
down the road for some reason but coincidentally there was a person in the
toilet he was the managing director of an Asian car company affiliate who
shared our floor yep Brad slam dunked a stranger with a ball of wet paper towel
a stranger for whom face was a very serious matter so serious in fact that
he pursuited with our boss when he returned from overseas our boss quickly
got to the bottom of it Brad was fired Sorry Brad all I'm saying is is if
you're going to go full middle schooler and you're willing to soak up some paper
towel and launch a wet bomb into the cubicle you really gotta be sure that
you're firing at the right person this next story is my father the king of
petty this is a tad long but here we go so when I was 16 or 17ish I shared a car
with my Papa he worked in maintenance dealing with boilers and fixing things
at local high school and I was going to college long story there but also not
the point my papa is an immigrant from Calabria Italy and it's pretty much the
stereotype you'd imagine loud doesn't take crap from anyone and an accent that
has made small kids cry he's also Petty my father had to have things on an exact
schedule I woke up at 5am every day to get him to work by exactly 5 25 every
morning and then went off to school myself one day my papa storms into my
room flicks on the lights and goes Pina get up we're going to work early today I
look at my clock y'all it is 3 A.M in the morning I get up like a zombie but
look I ain't asking questions we get in the car I always drive I'm half awake
when we get to the front and he tells me to stop now this school had a beautiful
Circle round Drive leading into the atrium of the school another thing about
this school is that every student had a walk through these doors and go through
metal detectors my father proceeds to then roll down the window and pull out a
bag of bread and start throwing it on the ground I'm extra confused why are we
up at 3am to throw bread on the ground so I ask Papa what are you even doing my
father looks at me and grins with this crap eating face and goes feeding the
birds Pina we're feeding the birds now I'm curious but I also don't want to
know what the heck my dad is doing at the same time because he's a tad crazy
and I learned to mind my own business this goes on for two months until one
day I pull up tired as crap and before I can even comprehend what's happening a
man in a ski mask Sprints out of the school unlocks my papa's door through
the window and drags him out next thing I know man starts screaming Giacomo is
that you what the freak man it's been you feeding the pigeons why would you do
this y'all the man was the janitor my father weapon I Canadian geese my father
in the calmest voice ever goes janitor do you remember two months ago when you
stole my last Coca-Cola and when I asked
you to go to the gas station you said no the janitor's like yeah and my papa
continues and then you said what are you gonna do about it this is what I did
have fun waking up at 2 A.M every morning to retrain the geese to crap by
the pond he gets back in the car and says now drop me off my papa starts
explaining that the students were tracking the geese poop all through the
school and as the janitor he had to clean it all up every single day and he
was slowly going crazy wondering why the geese were even there to begin with so
we finally figured someone was doing this and decided to stake out the school
to find out who was driving him crazy I learned two things that day one my
father is the pettiest man I know and two don't freak with my papa's Coca-Cola
on the games were changed hey man listen
I get it I'm a big fan of soda if you're working a shift at your job somewhere
and you finally have that break time one very small Joy you have to look forward
to is popping open that soda I get it man it's frustrating when somebody
blatantly steals it and then also refuses to replace it our next story is
my ex cheated on me the entire time and I found out only after I broke up with
him long story short I was with my ex-boyfriend for three years and never
suspected a thing I fell out of love and eventually broke up with him and it was
pretty hammockable a couple months later a girl messaged me on Instagram and
asking if I dated my ex I said yes but we were broken up recently she lets me
know she slept with him for two years to my shock and so we meet up she shows me
the texts and photos luckily because I fell out of love I wasn't upset but she
liked him a lot and felt betrayed he lied about his name age job identity to
fool her I knew his family well and knew his real identity we both decided to
show up at his apartment and confront him he was so shocked and try to explain
but it was too late my Petty Revenge included creating a group chat with him
his mum and dad and me called it cheater and sent a paragraph explaining what he
did to me right in front of them I then paid for an anonymous text message
service to his number pretending to be the NHS and that his recent tests showed
that he had a range of STDs felt pretty good definitely a great way to get
revenge against somebody who is just a total jerk is if they even care a little
bit about their relationship with their mother or what their mother thinks of
them ratting on them to their own Mom hey at least you're gonna give them some
shame on the short term but with that being said that's all the time we have
for today now if you want to hear another crazy Revenge story check out
that video on the left or if you missed my latest video video check out that
video on the right that said I'll see you all next time with some more stories | give me a good story on rProRevengeTHEPETTIESTDADINTHEWORLDRedditStories |

welcome friends to another r slash i don't work your lady video could you
somehow mistake a cat for a manager we'll find out but first a story from
barry jazzy busby could you still make a reservation then i know there's lots of
other stories like this but it reminded me of my own when i was younger back
when home phones were still a thing i was really ill for months at a time i
missed out on a half a year of school due to illness now because i was home
all day i was there to answer any calls our home phone got every now and again i
would get a call and answer it how i normally would hi and so and so here how
can i help you and every time i would get hi can i please make a reservation
for 6 pm tonight or hi just checking is this restaurant name in melbourne after
about 15 plus calls of people believing this number was some restaurant in
melbourne i googled the restaurant name the number that google suggested was for
some reason my home phone number when i went onto the actual website of the
restaurant i could find their actual number so i called them to let them know
that google had messed up and i kept getting calls on behalf of this
restaurant they apologized and told me they would look into it even still i
continue to get calls for like a month before google eventually got around to
changing it one of the more memorable days was valentine's day i kept getting
a call every half hour every time i would say sorry but google actually has
the wrong number listed to find the actual restaurant number go to their
website and you can find it now this worked fine for most people but there
was this one lady who didn't seem to get the message keep in mind i was a sick
and tired sassy 14 year old girl who worked at kmart when i wasn't sick she
called frantically stating that she absolutely needed a reservation for 7pm
that night freaking trying to find a goddarn valentine's reservation six
hours beforehand and what seemed to be a pretty nice restraint in the heart of
melbourne australia's most highly populated slash nicest cities i informed
her that i actually wasn't the restaurant and to find their number on
their website apparently this was too hard of a task for this lady's small
brain to comprehend oh but you're the number google gave me yes i know madam
google accidentally made an error because my phone number is one digit
different to the actual restaurant google's been informed and they're in
the process of changing it can't you still make a reservation for me no ma'am
i don't work there i don't even live in the same state as that restaurant how
ridiculous this is absolutely appalling customer service if google's going to
list your number as the number for that restaurant i'm going to expect some
level of customer service and assistance now please understand that i hadn't had
a full meal in over four months as any food that went into my system came
straight back up i was tired sick constantly hungry and this lady had
interrupted my game of solitaire so i let it rip excuse me witch i'm not
affiliated with that restaurant in any way i'm a 14 year old chick from
queensland who's home from school sick it's not my fault that google messed up
and it's also not my fault that you're too stupid to simply hang up and go onto
their website to make a reservation it's also not my fault that your dumb butt
thinks that there's any way in heck that
you're going to be getting a reservation for freaking valentine's day 6 hours
beforehand i then promptly hung up and thankfully didn't hear from her
afterwards i think it was a week or so after that conversation that google
finally updated the number on the website how much do you want to bet that
somebody like that lady who called and was too lazy to go find the actual
number was more than happy to go and waste their time leaving a review
commenting about how bad the customer service was and maybe even including how
google messed up in their review but still not looking for the actual number
on the website like spending all that time complaining if you had to deal with
a situation like this where your phone kept getting confused for like a
restaurant and people like this came along who just didn't get the memo would
you start like flipping out of them cursing out at them would you rather
just hang up on them as soon as they don't get the memo would you just try to
ride it out politely let me know how you would handle it in the comments down
below our next story is from jazz catcher i worked here six months ago and
the times before a personal issue happened in november i 17 year old
female worked at a local hobby store named after an archangel i stock shelves
cleaned up after people tried all the markers on anything nearby and would
leave them in whatever cubby that was in
reach and i would cashier a few nights a week making the big money to afford my
daily girly needs i quit working there because of the personal issue this past
monday i went in there to get some supplies for an art project the
therapist recommended and to see how i feel about going back out into the world
i was dressed in a large black baggy hoodie and baggy sweats nothing like an
employee my earbuds were in but not on they dull the noise but don't make it
completely silent i heard the click click click of someone wearing heels a
distinctive sound the sound stopped and i could see a shadow darken me as i
looked at drawing pads my heart started speeding up and i was beginning to sweat
then she said those words excuse me it wasn't dripping with contempt yet yes i
say back where are the little painting cups to paint the porcelain christmas
villages she did ask nicely i tell her i don't know and she got mad you do know
where they are so where are they i step back and begin to shake i don't know i
don't work here yes you do you helped me find stuff last halloween quit lying to
me and tell me where the paints are i begin to have a panic attack it's been
six months since i worked here and the store's been rearranged oh my god you
kids are so lazy you think because there's a worker shortage you can just
do what you want and not get fired from mouthing off to customers i'll show you
how freaking wrong you are when i get your manager and get you fired i dropped
the supplies i was holding in turn to leave i'm not crying i just want to be
away from this crazy lady then she grabs me as i'm spun to her face again she
shoves her finger in my face and this screeching is piercing even with the
headphones on and things went to black when i came back to reality i was being
checked on by paramedics a few police officers were standing around with the
lady in handcuffs screeching i didn't do
anything to her she's just crazy i can't
believe this place hires crazy witches i ended up going to the hospital the
ladies being charged with assault i'll find out more in the future since this
is just a few days old what happened to me i read the statements from the police
report and from what a few former co-workers told me when she grabbed me i
fell to the ground going into the fetal position whimpering that i don't work
here i don't work here i don't work here
some customers saw what was going on and
got the manager someone else called 911.
the lady just stood there with her mouth

visit with my therapist i'm home and waiting for a delivery from amazon with

below so you never miss any of my daily videos our next story is from unitier
actual employee and owner mistakes me for employee i recently got reminded of
this one i was a 13 or 14 year old female who tried to buy new jeans
because her last one got accidentally ripped apart by an overjoyed puppy
broke me got into this chain store with a big 50 off sign and started to look
around the store was very confusing not big but a tiny labyrinth and i couldn't
for the love of me figure out where the women's section should be so socially
awkward me decided to put on her big girl pants and ask somebody i go to the
counter and before i could say a thing the guy behind the counter was already
furious with me where have you been we've been waiting for you for hours now
why don't you answer your phone followed
by my very intelligent reply what well i
stood there dumbfounded and scared i was a small shy girl and that guy was tall
and spoke too loud for comfort he goes on with we're going to mr insert name
boss no excuses come with me now little dumb scared me followed that guy mostly
because my brain refused to process what just happened this was long before i
knew the existence of reddit we got to a hidden part of the store hidden by a
wall and i saw the women's section my brain remembering what i was here for
told my feet to go that way but forgot about the guy the guy grabs me by my arm
and forces me in a different direction we reach a little office and by little i
mean cramped small a desk a lot of papers and orders everywhere a man
sitting on an office chair papers in hand the guy and me the guy closes the
door and none of us had any space to move the guy greets the man as mr boss
and said i found her she was just wandering in mr boss now looking at me
gives me a speech about responsibility and being on time the best my brain
could come up with in this situation was the question of if this store has other
times for customers being allowed to come in did i miss the time frame while
mr boss was busy with his speech the wheels on my brain began to turn does he
think i work here but a boss should know his own employees shouldn't he i try to
muster enough courage to speak but out came only a shy
i don't work here mr boss looks at me and then pulled out an application
letter are you not insert random name me shaking my head he's looking at the
picture and my face over and over again that's not her i looked at the picture a
girl my age same hair and eye color but different face features he mum belt
something about today should be her first day of work but she never showed
up apologized and asked me why i hadn't said anything and dismissed me instantly
the counter guy brought me to the front and outside the store basically i was
politely kicked out dumbfounded again so not only did they essentially harass a
13 or 14 year old girl they then refused to allow themselves to get a sale by
kicking them out like at least let this poor girl that you instilled some
serious fear in to get the jeans she was wanting to get our next story is from
ralph jd i don't work your lady and everyone started laughing hard so this
happened earlier today little introduction i'm currently in morocco
and here it's common to have little shops of like four square meters where
they sell groceries and fix you basic sandwiches and tea now the shop i
usually go to has the cash desk on the inside and a big open window on the wall
that faces the road with a little counter for two customers to use while
standing to eat now for the story for lunch i decided to go to the shop to get
a classic eggs bread cheese and a mint tea i enter the shop i greet the owner
and order my sandwich and tea with me two other customers talking kinda
seriously with a shop owner about football while i'm enjoying my tea at
the counter facing outside i see a lady with a man on the sidewalk coming
towards the shop at that moment the lady stops in front of me on the other side
of the counter and asks me in moroccan arabic if we have a very specific brand
of sparkling water i therefore try to answer in a mix of french and arabic
that the shop has it but i don't work there with what must have been a very
confused facial expression at that point
the lady apologizes for mistaking me for the shop owner while starting to laugh
and the man next to her started laughing too as well as the real shop owner
behind the register and two other men that were in the shop chatting with the
real employee i answer that it's no problem while getting influenced by the
laugh too the lady in the man then entered the shop grab the water and say
to the shop owner i mistook him because i saw the counter and i thought that's
where you usually stay to sell things all of this while everyone's happily
chuckling before going out she taps my shoulder apologizes again with a big
smile and wishes me a good day the chuckling continued for a minute or two
the football talks restarted but this time with a happy mood and smiles it was
a good day honestly it's a really nice thing that it was a good day and that
overall it was a good experience it's always nice when the person mistaking
you is not a karen have a laugh have a human connection that's great our next
story is from dramatic tofu i wear a lanyard keychain i wear a lanyard
keychain around my neck to ensure i don't lose my keys and almost every
store i visit regardless of my attire someone always asks me for directions to
products ninety percent of the time i have no idea where the product is in
those instances my answer is always something like aisle six bottom shelf or
go straight and take a left if i know where the product is i'll take the time
to either bring the other person to that
said item or give detailed directions to it my lanyard does have id badges
attached to it but i never wear clothes that make me look like an employee in
any store this happens in in the past i've had many people get mad at me for
telling them i don't work at the stores some never believe me i find it's easier
to just give the people directions to the leave immediately that's definitely
the gamble you take by wearing a lanyard keychain some people see lanyard and
they just think employee whether that's high up manager or lowly cashier that
just happens to be roaming the isles or even a janitor or something random they
tend to think that that person somehow got to be employed with the company and
our final story of the day is by tabby kitten99 mistaken by the show manager
for one of the performers when i was 15 i went to see the national touring
production of cats and since i was a big fan and i'd never seen it before i went
in costume which was a trend for cats fans i wanted to get pictures with the
actors after and i thought it would be more fun in costume i was waiting in the
lobby for the show to start and a lot of
people asked to take a picture with me i said yeah because i was a passive
teenager who wasn't great at saying no they probably thought i was a cast
member because my costume was mostly accurate but then a man came out and
started telling me i had to get backstage i wasn't allowed out in the
lobby before the show and i shouldn't have been taking pictures with people i
was really confused and then he realized i wasn't one of the actors in the
musical just a kid in a costume he was the tour manager he was really lovely
and said if i came back the next night he would give me a tour of the stage
which he did i got lots of cool photos and autographs for the cast and even
talked to the crew as well it was a wonderful experience for a nerdy kid and
probably the best i don't work here outcome you could have yeah you mean to
tell me that you show up and get confused for a cast member get kind of
ripped into a little bit and that turns into a backstage meet and greet and tour
for you that's a pretty darn good outcome from an i don't work your story
but with that being said that's all the time we have for today now if you want
to hear another i don't work your lady story that was way more insane than the
ones in this video click on that left video or if you missed my latest video
click on the right but with that said i'll see you all next time for some more

my girlfriend got an ed while in the process of cheating on me and changed
her story at every turn I've been sitting here for like 15 minutes trying
to figure out how to start this my head is completely spinning and my thoughts
are just all over the place I guess with
the backstory I've been dating Sarah not using real names for just under two
years now she has a close friend John whom she's known since she was a child I
never liked him he was always a little creepy blatantly flirted with Sarah for
the entirety of our relationship and made passes that I was not comfortable
with so cut to like two weeks ago Sarah and I were invited to a gathering or
party by a mutual friend I had a workshop for work that night so I
couldn't attend and with current circumstances I was never going to be
inclined to go anyway I didn't want Sarah to go either but she was very
adamant and I guess I just didn't want an argument so I said fine we ended up
running into John later that day and he mentioned the same party and asked us if
we had been invited as well my girlfriend told him she was going but I
wasn't and he got this weird smile on his face and said something along the
lines of if you're going I guess I have to go just something about his smile and
the way he said it really rubbed me the wrong way plus I didn't want to be
possessive but the idea of the both of them together all night at a party did
not sit well with me after we got back to our apartment I told her a bit more
firmly this time that I'm not comfortable with her going to the party
especially with him there she told me I was overreacting and shut down the
conversation at that I'm sure most of you can figure out where this is going I
went to the workshop and she went to the party it got to be like 2:00 a.m. and
she hadn't gotten home nor was answering my calls naturally I was incredibly
worried about an hour later one of her friends called me and told me she was
found unconscious at the party and driven to the hospital she was Essa by
John and after spending two days including that night at the hospital and
talking with the police I took her home she told me John drugged her and dragged
her upstairs where it happened in one of the bedrooms the house the party was at
D is very large she was an absolute mess
she didn't want to go outside she wasn't
eating and she had terrible nightmares I did everything I could to comfort her
through this process I was devastated for her and hated to see her like this
but I know this makes me sound like a terrible person I don't blame her for
John assaulting her but I couldn't get the fact that I tried more than once to
dissuade her from going to the party specifically saying that her being with
Jon makes me uncomfortable out of my head I feel I could have done more to
protect her and she should have listened to how I felt important side note it
turns out Jon is literally living garbage after her assault we both felt
it was best to get Justice there were drugs in her system and all the physical
indications of sa we immediately filed a restraining order and the police opened
an investigation within the span of a week after news had gotten around two
other girls came forward with similar encounters with Jon so the guy is
basically a Serial attacker as of now my girlfriend is still in no better shape
than she was two weeks ago she gets panic attacks out of nowhere she's lost
like 15 PBS and absolutely refuses to leave our apartment even to seek therapy
I was committed to taking care of her and being there for her but I got a call
from one of my close friends Sam this morning it was a long conversation but
it basically boiled down to him as well as many others at the party that night
Sarah flirted with Jon the entire beginning of the party according to him
and the people he had been talking to she was at the very least matching if
not being the initiator in the exchanges with Jon he also recounts that she
wasn't blackout drunk or seemingly that out of it and worst of all many saw her
holding jonk hand and taking Jon upstairs at this point I feel like I
want to vomit he told me he wanted the situation to cool down a bit before
telling me and was going to tell me after the party what happened but with
her being taken to the hospital under the circumstances he didn't feel it was
the right time I decided not to assume anything and asked her about the
specifics of what happened that night she tried to tell me the same thing that
she was drugged and dragged to a bedroom
but when I told her what Sam had told me the color completely drained from her
face she started to panic and I did my best to calm her down but it was at
least 30 minutes before she could catch her breath to speak she was sobbing but
she was coherent enough to understand and basically confessed to cheating on
me she said she was drunk and hadn't been out for so long that she wanted
some Adventure she admitted she was the one who took Jon to the bedroom and
wasn't dragged there against her will she kept apologizing and saying it was a
terrible mistake and that nothing else was a lie he did as a her I believe the
last part as far as I can understand now was when they were in the bedroom
fooling around when he slipped something
into here or something like that then he forced himself on her I don't know what
to do anymore she was ased but to me everything before that was her still
intending to cheat and actively cheating on me I am devastated and I don't even
want to look at her right now I left the
apartment and am currently at samk house I don't know anything anymore she lost
her job to co I pay rent for the apartment where her name isn't on the
lease and groceries she's become completely emotionally dependent on me
the past few weeks if I did break up with her she would have nowhere to go
and as much as I resent her I don't want something terrible to happen to her
please help I need advice and don't know what to do my girlfriend was Ed by a
friend at a party I was uncomfortable with her going to I found out she lied
and omitted the fact that she was in the process of sleeping with him that night
anyway she is both financially and emotionally dependent on me and I need
advice edit there's been a lot of responses in a short time so I thought
it would be best to address some things here first off I've been made aware that
two posts in somewhat similar situations
have been posted to this sub in the past two weeks or so I don't know what I
could post here to prove this is true without exposing my privacy so I'm sorry
but all I can do is give you my word I'm just here looking for advice I don't
think this is something someone should be fantasizing about for a Karma Farm
it's completely upended my life the second thing is that people are
questioning Sarah's account of the events I didn't include every detail
because I'm just trying to get my thoughts out but her story matches the
other two women who came forward in terms of the pattern of Jon's Behavior
the two other women were also initially in a consensual environment before he
drugged them and assaulted them from what they've said and posted a large
part of the reason they didn't come forward was because it started as
consensual and they thought that would make them not be believed I also didn't
want to get too graphic but the nature of Sarah's assault was very violent and
not something most anybody would consent
to so that maybe why he drugs them first as well she had and still has traces of
large bruises around her neck and other parts of her body as well as scratches
and gashes I don't really doubt at all that she was indeed assaulted the drug
found in her system was ketamine and while Sarah did enjoy partying she never
did anything harder than weed third Sarah has been living abroad for school
since starting College her parents have been made aware of the situation but
coming from a very religious background and concerned for her well-being they
aren't exactly supportive nor have they put in the effort to come see her she
never had many close friends for as long as I've known her other than John I
don't know where she would go if I told her she couldn't stay at my apartment
update hey everyone sorry it's taken so long for this update and the lack of
replies on the previous post I needed some time to sort out the situation but
I did read as many replies as I could and I appreciate all the advice and
messages ESP especially from those who had been put in similar situations as me
I guess I should start by clearing a few things up first off to everyone who
thought my story had holes in it it definitely did and I'm sorry for that at
the time and even now I was missing a lot of information and was filling in
the holes as best I could with what I had I also didn't want the post to get
too long so I left out information that I guess would have painted a better
picture of my situation I'll try my best to include those missing details if
you're just interested in the update skip down down a few paragraphs so
details about John he is part of Sarah and I Social Circle and lives quite
close to us some of the behavior from John towards Sarah that made me
uncomfortable throughout the course of our relationship included constantly
making comments about her body putting his arm around her every chance he could
asking her to go with him on a trip to Europe last summer just the two of them
poking her breasts when she's wearing tight clothing saying things like I'm
lucky I met her when I did or she would have been with him by now Etc it's not
any one thing but accumulation of everything that made me uncomfortable
with her spending a lot of time with him she never encouraged his behavior at
least when I was around but didn't actively discourage it either despite us
openly talking to her about my boundaries she just brushed it off as
them knowing each other for so long and being comfortable with one another a few
smaller details which I guess were relevant I should mention one we are not
in the US well Co is still obviously an issue in our country our area is
relatively co-free and everyone going to the party s went to was part of our
larger Social Circle it was at a large condo a friend of ours was renting for
the summer it was not some open air party with 100 plus people still dumb I
know there were 30ish maybe 40 people there so in hindsight yeah no one should
have been at the party to begin with lastly clearing up both Sarah and I's
financial situation I am lucky enough to have my parents pay for my tuition and
whatever scholarships didn't cover so I can focus my resources on just
day-to-day living costs like rent groceries Etc
Sarah on the other hand was pretty much thrown to the Wolves after finishing
High School her parents as I stated in my edit are very religious and very
controlling so they told Sarah they were only going to pay for her schooling if
she went to a local college she refused and came to my school she lived in
residency for her first two years which were covered by financial aid I got my
apartment about a year ago and with Co and her not wanting to go back home we
decided it would be best if she moved in with me her finances are basically
completely tied up on tuition and student loans so I offered to keep
paying full rent despite her living with me fulltime actual update oh boy I wish
I could say things have gotten more clear in the past week but honestly it's
been a total cluster and it's only gotten worse I spent a few days at Sam's
reaching out to friends and trying to get a clearer picture of what happened
that night before going back to talk to Sarah I got told the same story multiple
times that she was the one who started flirting with JN and led him upstairs I
should say right now that in my first conversation with Sarah confronting her
she didn't explicitly say she had intended to sleep with him that night
she just confirmed she took him upstairs she was basically having a panic attack
throughout the entire conversation so I had a hard time pushing for clarity so
by this point in my heart I was trying to find any excuse at all for her to
save our relationship but my mind was telling me that the relationship was
over at least for the time being but as many of you commented despite my
obviously grief over losing a 2-year relationship I decided I'd be will
willing to let her stay in my apartment again rentree until at least the end of
October to sort out other living arrangements and support I called her
about 3 days after staying at Sams and told her I'm willing to listen to her
side of the story but I need the complete truth about everything and she
agreed so I went back to my apartment later that evening we sat down and I
asked her about what really happened that night she started crying right away
but not panicking and told me she had to tell me something about herself Sarah
has always been into the partying scene more than me I've never really been
comfortable around drugs or that environment in general but I went with
her anyways about once a month or so on the other hand she would have girls
nights out and parties pretty much every weekend right at the beginning of our
relationship I told her I'm not really comfortable being with someone who is
involved with hard drug use my brother has a history of addiction and I've seen
what it can do to somebody and the people around them she told me that's
fine since she only drinks and smokes weed occasionally well it turns out that
for about a year now she started doing harder drugs at parties when I'm not
there and her girls nights were often just her and some from our Social Circle
including going to a friend's apartment to do shrooms I was shocked to say the
least and I didn't even know what to think in that moment I just tried to ask
her more about what happened on the night she was assaulted and if she was
intending on cheating on me that night she comes clean and tells me she did
lead Jon upstairs but she swears she wasn't trying to sleep with him but
wanted drugs he told her it was cocaine but obviously it was not since only
fentony and alcohol showed up in her system at the hospital she told me he
immediately started coming on to her but she tried to fight him off but
eventually she was too drugged out to fight back after consoling her for a
while I asked her what her relationship with Jon was really like before and if
they did anything together before what happened that night she admitted that
they made out a few times before around Christmas last year but promised it
didn't go any further than that she was begging me to forgive her and that she
needed me in her life she was just in a rebellious phase because of her
upbringing I didn't know what to believe
anymore and I still don't to be honest I was just completely overwhelmed by
everything so I told her I needed to clear my head and left again Sam was
nice enough to let me stay at his place again I talked to some of my friends who
she said she was doing drugs with and they confirmed I was pretty upset at
them for hiding it from me but they told me she basically forced them to keep it
a secret from me it feels like so much of my relationship was a lie she wasn't
the person I thought she was and she lied constantly for who knows how long
at this point my mind is basically made up so I call her and tell her it's over
but she can stay at my apartment till the end of October but only if she finds
a therapist and gets help during that time she basically lost it during the
call but my mind was made up so I just said I'd be staying at Sam's for a while
and hung up I wish that was the last of the sht that happened but literally a
day after that I started getting spammed with hate messages and calls from
Friends relatives and people I didn't even know it turns out she's posted all
over social media about how I was breaking up with her because she was
ased and I was kicking her out with nowhere to go in these Co times she also
wrote that I've been emotionally abusing
her after her assault victim blaming her and stopping her from getting a
therapist I'm completely lost I'm furious and heartbroken I can't even
describe all the emotions I felt I called her again that night and told her
she has two weeks to move out now and I don't want to hear from her again I had
to spend the past week playing damage control trying to clear my name on
social media and calling friends and family I was ostracized by co-workers
though luckily my boss was on my side I was getting doxed with un alive threats
and my life basically fell apart Sam thank God was completely understanding
through all of this and said I could stay at his place until Sarah moved out
she's moving out on Friday but I don't want to go back to that apartment I've
had to cut out friends my reputation is now in the garbage I lost the first and
only person I've ever loved I don't know
anymore I want to un alive but I'll find a therapist sooner or later I just feel
numb to everything I don't even know if I'm right or wrong in this situation
anymore I hope I haven't rambled on too much I know this post is really long but
thank you really to everyone who showed support in the last post it meant a lot
tldr my girlfriend lied to me about the night she was it turns out she was with
him that night to get drugs had been doing hard drugs behind my back for
months cheated on me with the friend that ended up assaulting her and then
lied on social media about how I had been emotionally abusing her despite my
best effort to support her causing my life to fall apart edit someone's
comment made me realize she was still lying to me the second time I talked to
her she changed her story about what she was drugged with and I didn't even
realize it I was not told by the hospital what she had in her system and
I'm not very knowledgeable on drugs in general all that information I had came
from Sarah I don't even know if she was drugged against her will at all at this
point God I'm doubting everything now this is not the person I thought she was
I don't even care she's out of my life now thank you for watching the video if

time between getting out of jail and getting married biod dad reached out and

AIT for telling my cousins that their cat isn't actually a cat I am 27
recently traveled to my father's home country of Rwanda I had some time off
work and thought it would be a fun little trip firstly Rwanda is a
beautiful country highly recommend I was staying with my dad's younger brother
m55 and his family wife and three kids it was the first time I had seen them in
over a year so it was nice seeing them again the biggest thing that stood out
on the trip was my cousin's cat as soon as I got there my younger cousins M12
F10 M7 kept wanting me to see their cat Bob Bob wasn't there the first or second
day of my trip which I thought was pretty odd you see my uncle's family
lives on the outskirts of town so I'd imagine it wasn't exactly safe to let
their cat wander about but my cousins reassured me that Bob can take care of
himself early on my third day of the trip my cousins woke me up to see Bob I
was low-key excited at this stage because they were making such a buildup
I wasn't expecting what I saw Bob is massive has a small head with pointy
ears and makes some weird sound that sounds like a meow pronounced with a t
no other way to describe it he kind of looked like a mountain lion TV8 I was
beyond terrified when I saw this animal NGL my fear slowly left over the days
because I saw Bob was really cuddly with the family and sort of acted like a dog
i e he was very friendly and had a thing for chewing on shoes I guess he's so
friendly because my uncle says they've had him since he was a tiny kitten by
searching online I found out that Bob was a Caracol I think and not a cat when
I kept on insisting on this point to my cousins they'd get upset and keep on
repeating that he was just big I didn't want to argue too much with them but but
I kept on insisting that Bob was no cat when I got home from my trip my dad told
me that apparently my cousins were upset that I kept on saying Bob wasn't a cat
and now they want me to apologize to them and Bob LOL my dad thinks I was a
bit of an ass for insisting so much AIT for those wondering I will be calling
them TMR morning to apologize since it is a little late for them now I get that
Bob is technically a cat but honestly isn't he just a cat in the same sense
that lions and tigers are cats regardless I will call first thing TMR
morning more info for those wondering Bob and is largely an outdoor cat I've
only seen him inside the house a few times while I was there one of those
times he was intensely watching France 24 with my uncle he will leave
sporadically to do wild things at night but always returns after a few days | give me a good story on AITAfortellingmycousinsthattheircatisntactuallyacatorig |

I'm going to call off my wedding because
my fiance is extremely Frugal and cheap throw away as my fiance follows my
regular account I met my fiance 3 years ago he came out of an abusive marriage
just 2 years before we met one of her absolute abuses was Financial she bled
him dry made him buy expensive jewelry only to give it away or break it after
an argument designer shoes clothes big house cars Caribbean trips you name it
she made him pay for it she also took him to the cleaners and the divor course
however my fiance is very well off he makes far over six figures almost seven
on top of that he inherited a few Millions from his grandfather and his
parents gifted him and his siblings also
a few cool Millions so yes the financial abuse was bad but he does not suffer
financially he has more money than he will ever need so last year I moved into
his house I do not pay rent but I split the bills and buy food I pay for my own
clothes and jewelry I have a good job and I can take care of myself
however things have been taking a turn for the worse and I feel miserable his
house was empty when I moved in he had hand me down Furniture maybe three forks
and two knives he wouldn't put on the heating so the house felt cold and moldy
he has no curtains no decorations his ex took everything not bolted down and he
was too cheap to replace it just imagine a million dooll house like that I am
grateful that I can live in his house it
is something I could never afford myself but I didn't want to live in squalor so
I bought some kitchen supplies some furniture but at some point I realized I
was dipping in my savings all the time and he did nothing I looked into
curtains but those things are expensive his house has so many windows it is
crazy I didn't want to pay for this anymore I told him I needed a fund to
furnish his house he blew up at me that I was just with him for his money I
pointed out all the money I spent on his
house the gifts and the trips because he pays for nothing ever because he wants
to be sure I am not here for the money the fact is if we break break up I have
nothing the house is not mine if I spend all my savings on his house I will be
left with absolutely nothing he wants a prup and I am fine with that but I can't
help but feel used next to that I am jealous of his ex-wife I feel like she
got treated and I am neglected he proposed to his ex on a cruise with a
$10.00 white gold diamond ring I got the
rodium plated Swarovski stuff that might cost like 100 bucks The Proposal was at
a picnic in the park I organized paid groceries for and slaved in the kitchen
for I almost said no out of pure disappointment however I am afraid to
bring it up and to be called a gold digger I don't want to be funding a
Millionaire's lifestyle he loves everything as long as I pay for it as
soon as he has to pay it is frivolous unnecessary I can live like a poor
person by myself at least the fact there are literal Millions lying around
doesn't hang over me to bum me out Dot and I would just be paying for my own
lifestyle whb to for calling of a wedding purely for financial reasons
because I love this man but I imagine our cheap wedding in contrast to his ex
or Extravaganza will our future kids be able to have some luxuries or only if I
pay for it what if I ever become a stay-at-home mom will I have to beg to
put the heating on edited to answer questions I see a lot I know the abuse
is not made up his family and friends told me separate stories of the abuse
they witnessed not only did it confirm it it showed me she was way more
terrible than I thought like stealing heirloom jewelry of his grandma with
Alzheimer right after she was widowed pretending she was gifted these things
even though everyone knew Grandma hated her guts I did not realize or see he is
doing the same to me as she was to him and he is subconsciously punishing me
for what was done to him I am not trying
to force a lifestyle in him where he was previously happy in he told me prior to
moving in that he left his house like this because he was depressed after his
wife took everything even the curtains that it makes him sad and he wants a
Cozy home he just didn't know where to start his house is paid off thanks to
Granddad he isn't actually spending spending much on utilities either house
is very well isolated and has solar panels it is weird to see how cheap
being rich really is I am not asking for designer Furniture Ikea all the way and
I have refurbished secondhand furniture myself I am actually pretty Thrifty I
see where my jealousy over the exer lifestyle might have triggered some
people let me explain a $10.00 ring is insane and stupid to me I
do not want that because I would fear for losing it every day I don't need an
over-the-top wedding however it almost feels like for her he did effort wanted
to give her what made her happy put effort and thought in it with me it
almost feels like he wants to prove how little he can give me he talked about
how he would see the wedding and it is cheaper than my actually financially
struggling cousin her wedding I can't help but feel he wants to demonstrate
how cheap he can treat me and I already feel embarrassed about the family that
would have been to both and I will feel like the discount wife I don't like to
say it but it feels like he gets of on it to some extent we are almost talking
washing paper plates at this moment yes I did discuss selling the Mansion I
really don't need and move to a more modest house especially knowing this is
the house is xick he doesn't want to do that he loves this house but I feel
really intimidated living in a house I could never afford anyway and so many
large Windows GH I haven't talked to him yet but pal on the marriage and
counseling is a must I already am looking for iy because I realized I
might indeed be too much of a people pleaser allowing him to control me with
the ghost of his ex I also am going to separate for a while I am looking to
rent something for a few months so I can get some space thank you all for your
insights update one okay I hope this update makes sense because I'm very
confused and not really doing that well at the moment well Reddit you changed my
life thank you so much for all your ideas and insights honestly I don't
think I would have had the courage to do what I did without you guys I went to
therapy took the day off just to get my racing mind to calm down therapy has
confirmed things you guys suspect Ed I am a people pleaser I wanted to save him
and I have internalized the idea that any effort and every penny I want him to
spend on me makes me a gold digger I will have weekly sessions to work on me
I realized I would have never taken this treatment from any of my exes even
though I made more than them the idea I had to prove myself worthy to be with a
millionaire and not be in there for the money got into my head pretty early I
called one of his siblings I pretty close with and just told her everything
she was not surprised but just sad about
how unhappy he was making me she told me
that from the day we started he had this idea that I was out of his League he
struggled to understand why I wanted to be with him and he probably just thought
it must be my money she told me she already talked to him in the past to
treat me better she was Furious about the proposal this information confused
me a little I was a little hurt she never discussed any of this before but
she thought it was none of her business she also explained how she and her
husband organize their finances he also doesn't have as much as her I took the
opportunity to pack a bag I haven't found a place yet but I'm going to stay
with my parents I made up my mind that I
will at least want 6 months apart to get
myself in order I made sure my stuff was in the car because honestly I had no
idea how the conversation would go so into the most difficult part the talk I
waited for him to come home he was pretty late but I didn't want to sleep
another night on this pretending I was fine while I was contemplating all this
just ate me up I had written down what I wanted to say I have never been so
scared before I didn't want to hurt him and I didn't know how he would react I
took some advice from here I opened that I was moving out and that I wanted to P
our engagement he was very quiet and just sat down I told him he really hurt
me by calling me a gold digger and that I am done walking on eggshells and
feeling guilty for just wanting basic things I told him I was unhappy and felt
neglected I also told him that after 3 years of me showing up for him he still
doesn't think I am here for him it is not going to happen he was just quiet he
didn't say anything I told him that the constant comparing to his ex was
unhealthy and unfair do punishing me for her sins was abusive I told him
comparing her to me all the time has triggered me comparing myself to her and
starting to feel like she was worth more than me one of the things about her was
mostly ungratefulness he would do nice things for her but it was never enough
the thing is he doesn't do nice things for me and I have to be grateful for the
pleasure of picking up the bill I told him he was not ready for marriage that I
dreaded having kids with him and live like this that is didn't trust he would
take care of me if I would become a song and at that point I just called him
abusive and a user I was getting pretty angry saying all this out loud losing my
composer and script a little bit he remained quiet with almost no emotion on
his face I stayed quiet but nothing came
out so I decided that I would just leave only when I got up to go he said please
don't go he asked me if I was pausing the wedding or calling it of he wanted
to know if it was over or if he still had a shot I told him I wanted out of
this house I honestly don't want to live
in his ex or Palace of sadness anymore I needed him to go to therapy and
especially Financial therapy I needed a separation I told him I was open to
coup's counseling if he went into IC he begged me not to do the separation but
honestly I really really wanted it I just told him to think about it and I
left him he was finally showing some emotions he was crying at this point he
sent me a very long text somewhere in the am told me he was a wreck and
couldn't sleep he made all kinds of promises he would go into therapy sell
his house buy a smaller one and make sure I am taking care of whatever
happens he said he would help me decorate and we will make a home he
again asked me to please come home but to me it doesn't feel like home there
anyway I feel very empty and tired I have been sleeping most of the day I
feel guilty but also a little bit relieved if that makes sense dot I don't
know if I actually want back if he does all that I'd gu him a little unsteady
right now I need some time to pray I will go back for the kitchen supplies
and my TV I won't take anything else of the furniture this for the exact same
reason I was unwilling to buy everything
his house is huge so the couch is huge I can't take it | give me a good story on ImGoingToCalloffMyWEDDINGBECAUSEmyFiancisextremelyfrugalandcheap |

My mom is trying to force me to invite 40 of her
:09.840 --> :12.400 “closest friends” to my wedding
I’m not sure if this is the right :12.400 --> :12.478
subreddit for this one, so if it’s not
please let me know the correct forum. :12.478 --> :18.120
I (31m) proposed to my fiancé (28f) this
past year, and we’ve been planning our :18.120 --> :22.120
wedding since. Her parents offered us a
generous sum of money to cover most of our
:22.120 --> :27.400 wedding expenses, and after all is said and
done they’ll probably cover 90% of the cost,
:27.400 --> :32.040 with my fiancé and I paying out of pocket
for the rest. We couldn’t be more grateful,
:32.040 --> :37.120 and found a beautiful venue not long
after. We booked it for early spring 2025,
:37.120 --> :42.000
and we couldn’t be more excited to get married.
Our venue is on the larger side, and has a minimum
:42.000 --> :47.000 of 130 people for that particular date. We
started making a preliminary guest list,
:47.000 --> :52.560
and even after giving most of our friends plus
1s we’re just below the minimum, but we’re still
:52.560 --> :57.080
panning on expanding the guest list further as
we get closer to sending our save the dates. :57.080 --> :01.880
This past weekend we were visiting my Parents and
we let slip that we’re below our minimum as of
:01.880 --> :08.600 right now, and my Mom (59) started rattling
off tons of people that we “had” to invite,
:08.600 --> :13.360 none of whom are family. In total
it was something like 16 couples, :13.360 --> :18.360
some of whom I knew growing up, others were
parents of my younger siblings friends. :18.360 --> :20.800
I don’t particularly care for most of them,
:20.800 --> :25.720
and I only ever tolerated them because they’re
my parents friends. Frankly, some of them are
:25.720 --> :29.840 jerks. I haven’t had a relationship with
any of these people in the past 10 years,
:30.520 --> :35.960
if ever. A few of them I haven’t seen since I
graduated high school. Some of them my fiancé
:35.960 --> :40.320 has never met in the 6 years we’ve been
together. All of them have adult children
:40.320 --> :45.560
(younger than me) that I’m sure we’re included
in the required invite, none of which I like. :45.560 --> :49.960
I told my mom in no uncertain terms
that most, if not all, of those people :49.960 --> :54.040
would not be getting invited, and that she
needs to stop telling them they’re coming,
:54.040 --> :59.520
which lead to her LOSING IT on me in front of my
fiancé. She complained that she is only having
:59.520 --> :04.040
a few members of her side of the family attend
the wedding and that I owe it to her to invite
:04.040 --> :09.800
her friends because “it’s such a big day for her”.
She went as far as to say that she won’t give us a
:09.800 --> :14.520 wedding gift if we don’t invite her friends.
Honestly, I couldn’t care less about that,
:14.520 --> :19.560 if a gift comes with stipulations it’s not a
gift it’s an obligation and she can keep it. :19.560 --> :23.960
For context, the reason most of my mothers
family isn’t invited is because she had a
:23.960 --> :27.760 falling out with them when I was a little
kid. I don’t really know what it was about,
:27.760 --> :32.320 nor do I care, but we went from seeing
that side of my family at every holiday
:32.320 --> :37.400
and birthday to pretending they didn’t exist.
They’ve reached out to her in the past to try
:37.400 --> :41.840 and repair that relationship, but she’s
refused to allow them back into our lives. :41.840 --> :46.240
I ended up diffusing the situation and told my mom
that we’ll talk about the guest list at another
:46.240 --> :51.280
time, but I meant what I said; I don’t want any
of those people there. They’re not my friends,
:51.280 --> :54.800 they’re not my family, and I don’t
have any relationship with them. :54.800 --> :59.560
Based on the way she reacted, I’m guessing
she’s already told everyone they’re invited
:59.560 --> :03.040 and she’s going to be embarrassed
when she has to tell them otherwise, :03.040 --> :08.200
but frankly that’s not my freaking problem. I
think she’s unbelievable entitled to have done
:08.200 --> :13.200 that, and it’s incredibly disrespectful
to my future in-laws that my mother is :13.200 --> :17.720
planning to take advantage of their money and
generosity to have a party with her friends. :17.720 --> :21.440
I know I’m going to have to revisit this
argument with her soon, and I’m Not sure
:21.440 --> :24.800 how I’m supposed to get it through to
her that she isn’t the one making the :24.800 --> :29.680
guest list. If anyone can help me navigate
this minefield I’d be extremely grateful :29.680 --> :29.683

:02.000 --> :09.480 Married but wanting separate bank accounts
My (33F) husband (31M) and I are looking into
:09.480 --> :14.840
separating bank accounts after years of financial
disputes and power struggles. I’ve seen many
:14.840 --> :20.400
examples of how to split the bills but usually
both parties are salary and no kids are involved. :20.400 --> :25.960
I am salary but my husband has an hourly job
and his paychecks vary wildly. So how do we
:25.960 --> :30.960 decide how much of his money goes to bills?
Should it be a set amount or percentage? :30.960 --> :36.120
Also, he works late most days, earning OT pay
and making his paycheck substantially larger
:36.120 --> :43.480
than mine some times. However, bc he works OT, I
am unable to stay late and earn OT as I have to
:43.480 --> :49.160
pick up the kids from school/daycare by a certain
time. So how does that overtime money get split? :49.160 --> :51.880
Hoping to find a system we both feel is fair but also
:51.880 --> :54.720 making sure all necessities are reliably covered.

u/PuzzleheadedRip9004 1 day ago :17.040 --> :22.240
My boyfriend lied about quitting his job and put
our housing in jeopardy. How do I get past this?
:22.240 --> :27.760 I’ve (30) been with my boyfriend (32) for
four years. After he got a job at an apartment
:27.760 --> :32.520
building, we decided to move into an apartment
there because he would get a big discount on rent. :32.520 --> :36.560
A year or so after living there, he started
to hate the job due to the stress of having
:36.560 --> :41.440 an understaffed team and long working hours.
I suggested that he look for a new job if he
:41.440 --> :46.720
was unhappy there, but he continued to stick it
out because of how good the rental discount was. :46.720 --> :50.760
Well one day, he comes home in the middle
of the work day and says he’s taking the
:50.760 --> :55.800 rest of the day off. Two days go by and
he still hasn’t gone back to work. I ask
:55.800 --> :59.480 him what’s up and he says that he just
needs to use up some extra days of PTO. :00.000 --> :04.560
The weekend comes and while out to dinner with
friends he gets a little drunk and basically
:04.560 --> :10.000 reveals to me and two other friends at the
table that he quit his job on the spot for good. :10.000 --> :13.960
On the way home, I ask him why he waited
so long to tell me and why he would just
:13.960 --> :18.800 quit cold turkey without a new job lined up,
especially considering that his contract states
:18.800 --> :23.960 that once he stops working at the apartment,
we have to be moved out within 4 weeks. Plus
:23.960 --> :29.120
at this point he owed me a couple thousand dollars
from shared expenses that he was catching up on. :29.120 --> :33.040
He said he was sick of working there and
waited to tell me because he needed time
:33.040 --> :37.920 to “process” it but that he would figure
out his work and our living situation. :37.920 --> :40.360
Fast forward a week later and we’ve applied for a
:40.360 --> :45.600 new apartment. A few days later we
get denied due to “rental history.” :45.600 --> :49.440
I call the screening company to ask why
and they say that we have an outstanding
:49.440 --> :53.040 balance at the current property we
live at for last month’s rent being :53.040 --> :56.680
late and now an open eviction filed because of it. :56.680 --> :58.800
I’m completely stunned because I send my
:58.800 --> :02.720 portion of rent to my boyfriend
every month and we pay on time. :02.720 --> :07.400
Turns out, my boyfriend hadn’t paid the rent and
got served the eviction notice one day while I
:07.400 --> :13.160 wasn’t home all BEFORE we had even applied
to this new place. And didn’t tell me about
:13.160 --> :18.920
any of it. I paid off the outstanding balance so
that he could get the eviction filing dismissed. :18.920 --> :23.800
Luckily I was only listed as an occupant and
not as a lease holder so the eviction wasn’t
:23.800 --> :31.120 on my record too. But I’m livid because not
only did he omit important info from me AGAIN,
:31.120 --> :35.120 but now that meant he couldn’t apply to
a new place with me since most places :35.120 --> :38.840
will automatically deny you with an eviction filing on your record.
:38.840 --> :41.560
So now we had fewer apartment options since we’d
:41.560 --> :45.840 only be applying with just my income
instead of both of ours together. :45.840 --> :50.400
So a week before we needed to move out, I
found a new place to apply to and with the
:50.400 --> :55.600
help of my dad co-signing with me, I was able
to get approved for it (I’m self-employed so
:55.600 --> :00.160 it’s hard for me to get approved by myself
even though I make over 3 times the rent). :00.160 --> :03.720
It’s been two months now and my boyfriend still is unemployed.
:03.720 --> :07.240 I’m covering all the expenses and
at this point he owes me almost :07.240 --> :13.280
$7K since I’ve been covering his half of
the rent plus our other living expenses. :13.280 --> :17.640
He uses my car to deliver for UberEats
but it’s just not enough since he also :17.640 --> :20.120
has student loans and other bills to pay. :20.120 --> :24.320
I just don’t feel like he’s doing everything
he can to find a job and pay me back. And the
:24.320 --> :28.560 lies he told are making it hard for me to
trust him. It feels like his decisions were
:28.560 --> :32.840 so impulsive and he didn’t even stop
to consider how they would affect me. :32.840 --> :38.080
And whenever I try to address it with him,
he gets really defensive and says I “need to
:38.080 --> :42.600
understand that he needed to do what was best
for him and his mental health at the time.” :42.600 --> :46.360
Would you be able to trust your partner
again after something like that? Is this
:46.360 --> :49.720 something worth breaking up over? How
long would you wait for your partner to
:49.720 --> :53.720 get their crap together, or what would
they need to do to make things right? :53.720 --> :05.760

Friend (24F) confessed she slept
with guy (25M) after she insisted :30.080 --> :33.680
I(24F) should date him for months (throwaway account for obvious reasons)
:33.680 --> :38.560 Best friend, let’s call her D(24F)
has been insisting for months that :38.560 --> :42.880
I should give this guy (25M) we are both friends with a chance
:42.880 --> :47.000 romantically as she and everyone else in
our friend group think we should date. :47.000 --> :54.240
To be clear and totally honest as I(24F) want an
honest opinion on this, I do not have or have had
:54.240 --> :00.040
a crush on this guy. We are long-term platonic
friends. He is truly a lovely guy but I’m not
:00.040 --> :05.360
in any way romantically/sexually attracted to
him and I view it as a platonic relationship
:05.360 --> :10.960 only. We have been friends for 5 years where
nothing remotely romantic happened. However
:10.960 --> :16.120
she kept insisting I should do it to the point I
started to question whether maybe she has a point. :16.120 --> :19.760
One week ago D tells me she slept with him on a night out,
:19.760 --> :24.000 said she wasn’t satisfied among a bunch
of other demeaning stuff about him, :24.000 --> :28.360
but really thinks he’s a guy that can offer
her stability and wants to pursue him further. :28.360 --> :32.840
Now, to say I was shocked is a bit of an
understatement. I’ve thought a lot about
:32.840 --> :37.080 this issue and my problem isn’t with them
hooking up as I had no intention of turning
:37.080 --> :41.000 my friendship romantic, but despite all
of that I can’t help feeling my friend :41.000 --> :46.040
went behind my back after insisting for
months on how great a couple we’d make.
:46.040 --> :50.880 Guess I just totally did not see it coming
or see her being interested in him. To top
:50.880 --> :54.960 it all I feel for the guy friend regarding
all the demeaning things she said about
:54.960 --> :59.240 him and feel like this may just end up
in a bad way for our friendship group. :59.240 --> :03.320
I’ve not brought it up as I’ve been trying
to process how I feel about it but I do feel
:03.320 --> :09.760
like I find it very hard to engage in conversation
with her as my trust has been damaged. To clarify,
:09.760 --> :14.400
this is not the first time she has done something
that has broken my trust in her but she's tried
:14.400 --> :19.840
to win that trust back over the years. I have
since distanced myself from this friend as I've
:19.840 --> :25.360
found it hard to communicate with her and have a
generic conversation when my trust is damaged and
:25.360 --> :29.840
keep thinking of what else she's been telling
me and then done the opposite behind my back. :29.840 --> :32.640
Am I doing the wrong thing by distancing myself from
:32.640 --> :35.200 this friend without bringing it up with her first?

my (22F) boyfriend (25M) told me to shut up.
my boyfriend and i were leaving to go out to
:23.280 --> :27.280 the beach with our friends. two of his guy
friends were parked outside of his house,
:27.280 --> :31.920
waiting to pick us up. as we were heading out
the door, my boyfriend’s dad was telling him
:31.920 --> :36.160 to look at the flowers he planted in the
garden. my boyfriend told his dad to stay
:36.160 --> :41.400 inside because it was “embarrassing” to do
that in front of his friends. i felt so bad
:41.400 --> :46.640
for my boyfriend’s dad and i told my boyfriend
“just let him be”. my boyfriend then proceeded
:46.640 --> :53.040
to say “you don’t know what it’s like shut up”.
he said it in such a sharp, harsh tone as well.
:53.040 --> :57.640 then he walked to his friend’s car and acted
like everything was okay, greeting them etc. :57.640 --> :01.680
i felt so hurt by this because i honestly
feel like i didn’t deserve to be treated
:01.680 --> :05.520 like that. i felt like my boyfriend’s
mood changed because he was about to see
:05.520 --> :09.760 his friends and acted like he was better
than me. but i also get the sense that :09.760 --> :14.440
his dad does do stuff like this a lot,
always insisting him to look at things,
:14.440 --> :19.840
being a bit socially unaware. my boyfriend doesn’t
have the best past relationship with his dad,
:19.840 --> :23.200 so i feel like his dad just does this
as an attempt to connect with him. :23.200 --> :28.040
at the beach, i tried to act normally because i
didnt want our friends to know that i was mad at
:28.040 --> :33.520 him and give off negative vibes. it hurts as
well because when we were with his friends,
:33.520 --> :38.840 he started talking to me as if everything
was fine, making jokes etc. i was going to
:38.840 --> :43.400 bring it up in the moment but obviously i
couldn’t because we were with his friends,
:43.400 --> :47.680 then when we got back to his place i had to
go back home because it was getting late and
:47.680 --> :52.320 i didn’t want to end things on a bad note
since i only see him on weekends. now its
:52.320 --> :57.480
the next day and i cant help but feel hurt by
this, even though it’s quite small. i dont even
:57.480 --> :02.360 feel like talking to him right now. should
i bring this up with him or just let it go? :10.315 --> :23.760
tl;dr my boyfriend told me to shut up when i
was trying to tell him to be nice to his dad.
:24.360 --> :30.038 then he acted like everything was fine when
we went to meet up with our friends. i know
:30.038 --> :31.169
i shouldn’t have got involved with his family
but i feel so disrespected. what should i do? :31.169 --> :31.188
Posted by u/____sway :31.188 --> :31.200 10 hours ago
:31.200 --> :34.640 My husband has nightmare
disorder and it's affecting me :34.640 --> :39.880
My husband and I have been together for 7 & 1/2
years, married for 2 &1/2. We moved in together
:39.880 --> :46.640
only after marriage. He started having nightmares
maybe 4 years back. He had a very stressful PhD
:46.640 --> :51.160 journey, involving multiple incidents with
authority that made him feel powerless and
:51.160 --> :55.080 cornered. He didn't share any of this with
me when he was going through it and we were
:55.080 --> :01.200
in long distance. He has a habit of suppressing
to deal with things. During this time, unaware,
:01.200 --> :05.960
I had also put pressure regarding our wedding.
His family was against us and they treated me
:05.960 --> :11.000
horribly and kept delaying our wedding plans.
I felt resentment towards him not being able
:11.000 --> :14.640 to handle them. He had to go through his
family suddenly being people he didn't :14.640 --> :20.160
think they were in terms of principles, and
just personality . So all of this together,
:20.160 --> :25.600
caused him a lot of stress and I guess we can
call it complex PTSD. I have tried to convince him
:25.600 --> :31.040
to seek therapy , he agrees but keeps putting it
off. I feel guilt for the part I played in causing
:31.040 --> :35.560
that stress to him. I also had no knowledge of
the other stuff he was dealing with.. I would
:35.560 --> :41.160
ask him every day about his day. And one of the
reasons I put pressure on him about wedding was,
:41.160 --> :46.920
I could feel the distance growing. I felt him
closed off in some ways and I blamed the physical
:46.920 --> :52.400 distance for it. Once we moved in together,
I noticed how badly he slept. His limbs would
:52.400 --> :57.480
jerk so much from stress relief the moment he
fell asleep. Then he would wake up multiple
:57.480 --> :04.000 times a night in terror. When asleep also he
groans and cries. I would wake up, pat him,
:04.000 --> :09.600
assure him he is safe and he would sleep again.
Over these couple of years he has gotten better,
:09.600 --> :15.840
his limbs don't jerk now, he falls asleep quietly.
He still wakes up with terror and I pat him and I
:15.840 --> :20.360 try to sleep. Ive booked an appointment for
him for next month to see a mental health
:20.360 --> :25.547
professional. We were seeing a therapist who kept
postponing the therapy for his nightmares so I
:25.547 --> :31.094
have booked with a new person. So we are hopefully
on the path of recovery. But the last few days I
:31.093 --> :36.080
have been struggling with feelings of being in
a relationship with emotional asymmetry. I feel
:36.080 --> :42.320
like I am with someone who is not well. And so
while he supports me and is a great partner etc,
:42.320 --> :47.000
I feel there is something I am also going through
being with someone who is suffering like this. I
:47.000 --> :52.200
also feel resentment towards his family who still
blame me for everything but they still cause him
:52.200 --> :57.200
the stress that makes the nightmares worse. For
eg the dreams stopped for a week after we spent
:57.200 --> :01.960 a month around his friends. Then he visited
his family and the dreams started again. I'm
:01.960 --> :07.000
sending him to spend time with his friends again
next month for 2 weeks.. though I'll be 7 months
:07.000 --> :12.040 pregnant at the time. I am basically looking
for validation that someone in my situation
:12.040 --> :17.120
is going through an experience too... Idk how
to describe it and in what ways I'm struggling.
:17.120 --> :23.520
For eg he has negative self perception and is
very tired the whole day..I feel our emotional
:23.520 --> :29.040 dynamic is not equal rn , I have been crying
a lot since yesterday and I ended up blurting
:29.040 --> :34.040
out to him that I'm feeling something like being
with someone going through grief etc.. that it's
:34.040 --> :40.520
unequal support. He feels defensive and offended
and I feel very guilty that I said that to him. He
:40.520 --> :45.120
did end up invalidating these feelings I'm having.
While I don't want to explain to him and make him
:45.120 --> :50.560
feel worse. I just want to understand that what
I'm feeling is not nothing. I will see a therapist
:50.560 --> :56.647
for myself too , I guess I'm just looking for
validation and empathy here and not solutions.. :56.647 --> :56.656

:25.000 --> :29.280 Caught in the middle of my sisters
relationship and I’m not sure what to do :29.280 --> :36.920
My(27F) younger sister(25F) and her
now fiancé (25M) have been together :36.920 --> :41.640
6 years. They met in college (this was her
roommates boyfriend first by the way) and
:41.640 --> :47.000
their relationship has been tumultuous for some
time. (Both have cheated) Fast forward to now,
:47.000 --> :52.040 I was helping her fiancé shop for rings and
I was really excited for this new chapter in
:52.040 --> :57.360
the relationship! After the ring was purchased my
sister and I were hanging out on day. I needed to
:57.360 --> :02.840
borrow my sisters phone because mine had died and
discovered she was having an affair with someone
:02.840 --> :08.800
else. I confronted her and she basically said
it’s her life and to mind my business. Anyways,
:08.800 --> :15.160
he proposed this week and I haven’t said a word
or congrats. I feel awful. At the end of the day,
:15.160 --> :19.960 I don’t want to have a strained relationship
with my sister, but I told her I want no part
:19.960 --> :24.120 in this because I’m not going to pretend
to be happy knowing the truth. Apart of
:24.120 --> :29.560 me wants to tell the fiancé, but I know it
would ruin my sister and I’s relationship
:29.560 --> :34.440 forever. This whole thing is disgusting to
me and I feel uncomfortable at the thought of
:34.440 --> :40.040 pretending to be happy like she wants and to
be around them. I hate lying. I’m at a loss.
:40.040 --> :45.720 What should I do? Do I just play along? Do
I tell him? Do I just continue to stay away? :58.600 --> :01.040
Posted by :01.040 --> :04.800 u/EternalTo14 1 day ago
:26.280 --> :31.200 I find it hard to address this problem
with me (f28), a twin brother (m31) :31.200 --> :38.120
of my boyfriend (31) and their sister (23)
I have a strong, undeniable resentment towards
:38.120 --> :43.200
brother and sister of my boyfriend. To make it
clear, I’m gonna give you some notion about how
:43.200 --> :48.960
normally people perceive me: I have a reputation
of a friendly, giving, humble and intelligent
:48.960 --> :54.960
woman. My boyfriend and I are very much in love,
but his brother and sister hate me for no reason. :54.960 --> :57.240
When I traveled to Lisbon to meet his family,
:57.240 --> :01.680
I was very delighted to see them together and
meet the most important people of his life. :01.680 --> :07.080
He kinda warned me that they are “toxic” but
I thought he was exaggerating. Sister since
:07.080 --> :11.280 the first day of the meeting was mean
to me, assuming things, projecting her :11.280 --> :17.240
ideas of my country on me(I’m Georgian), for
example: “You are probably against abortion,
:17.240 --> :24.000
right? “ Or “you probably prefer a man to take
a lead,right?” And smiling awfully. In the first
:24.000 --> :28.400 days she started demanding that I clean the
house, was always complaining that the kitchen
:28.400 --> :33.640
isn’t shining (she doesn’t do anything,doesn’t
cook). I didn’t need to be told what to do,
:33.640 --> :39.280 especially in a mean way.. And in my country
guests are not treated like this. she didn’t
:39.280 --> :44.600
stop making spicy comments and after every time
we visited their family members or relatives,
:44.600 --> :49.320
she told me that they weren’t happy about our
meeting. I kept my cool and tried to not react,
:49.320 --> :54.320 reminding myself that I’m better than
this. But then there his brother… :54.320 --> :00.160
Brother: Me and him have a huge ideological
and fundamental differences. He thinks money
:00.160 --> :04.360 is everything, called my mother (who
married my father at 43) an outdated :04.360 --> :09.680
woman because best ones get married before
35. Told me that I am a passport hunter,
:09.680 --> :14.480 that all the Georgian women are passport
hunters. Later I found out that he spread
:14.480 --> :18.800 absolute bull*hit about me in Portugal,
with people I hadn’t even met yet. :18.800 --> :23.440
Today I found out that they always make cynical
comments about me in their family chats:
:23.440 --> :28.400 calling me “not very social”, “her friends?
Which friends lol”, “ she doesn’t get along
:28.400 --> :35.280
with ANYONE” and etc. and I realized the wound
has never healed and I can not stop getting mad . :35.280 --> :39.840
I was going though hard personal issues,
trying to find a job, dealing with gaps in
:39.840 --> :45.160
friendships after returning to my home country
after a year in Scandinavia. Being crushed,
:45.160 --> :48.800 getting myself together after my
dreams literally fell apart (to :48.800 --> :53.400
study in Norway) and people who don’t know me dragging me down like this..
:53.400 --> :55.920
He lived here in Georgia while we lived here too,
:55.920 --> :00.760 so I had to meet him very frequently. He
went for a few months, he is coming back
:00.760 --> :04.360 soon and I think he is even counting
on us to give a room in our apartment. :04.360 --> :09.320
First visit in Lisbon was in January this
year and we went again this summer. It was
:09.320 --> :13.240 my mistake to accept my boyfriend’s
invitation. I was still nice to the :13.240 --> :16.680
sister but she didn’t miss the chance to make me feel terrible.
:16.680 --> :20.960 I despise the so much that I can
hardly breathe in their presence. :20.960 --> :25.360
If not my boyfriend, I’d not have any
connection with this kind of people. :25.360 --> :28.760
How do I protect myself without hurting my boyfriend’s feelings?
:28.760 --> :34.640
Worth mentioning that they are not nice to him
either but he “is used to it” and doesn’t care. He
:34.640 --> :40.320
said if he confronts them, it’s the end of their
family. So, he only “corrects them”. But I see he
:40.320 --> :45.720
is hurt as well. I am a person who always had to
fight for her rights, I’ve seen too much and and I
:45.720 --> :51.840
can not just “eat it ip” when someone discredits
and purposely disrespects me. I’m deeply hurt. :51.840 --> :56.840
Update: I told to his brother that he and
the sister will never be welcome in my life,
:56.840 --> :02.000
ever and he can now gossip about it too. After
seeing their messages I thought for two hours
:02.000 --> :06.320
and went to his chat and sent this message. I
don’t know what you will think about it too but
:06.320 --> :11.640
I used my connections and he will no longer be
able to enter some major clubs in the city. At
:11.640 --> :17.320
least I could do that to punish him for being an
abusive, hateful, narcissistic man. Thanks for
:17.320 --> :22.640
your comments, I appreciate your attention and
I believe all of them come from a good place ✨ :22.640 --> :23.220
Posted by u/Wide_Difficulty7023 :23.220 --> :29.040 1 day ago
:38.800 --> :43.480 I avoid visiting my friend because of her
smoking habit. Should I be honest with her? :43.480 --> :50.400
One of my (24F) dearest friends is a
heavy smoker (24F). She smokes about :50.400 --> :56.320
10 cigarettes in 4 hours. She is a truly
awesome person who I love and care deeply
:56.320 --> :02.120 about. We get along so well. The problem
is she smokes inside her own house. Every
:02.120 --> :07.600 time I go visit her she chain smokes in her
room and it is making me nauseous. She does
:07.600 --> :13.080 open the window but as a non smoker it still
starts getting irritating after a few hours. :13.080 --> :17.640
One of our common friends made a comment the
other day on her habit of smoking inside and
:17.640 --> :22.800
she became defensive and told him "If you don't
like it, you know where the door is". I have to
:22.800 --> :27.080 make up polite excuses to leave her house
after a while because she might get annoyed
:27.080 --> :31.880
with me too if I tell her something. I try to
get her to hang out in my place instead but
:31.880 --> :36.240 she recently mentioned that she deliberately
tries to get her boyfriend to hang out in her
:36.240 --> :40.640 own house cause she doesn't like having to
go outside for a smoke break all the time
:40.640 --> :46.920
in his house. So now I feel weird asking her to
visit me when I don't allow smoking in my house. :46.920 --> :52.240
I really enjoy her company and she is a
wonderful person who I accept as she is.
:52.240 --> :58.040
But cigarette smoke bothers me a lot and I've
found myself not visiting her because of this.
:58.040 --> :02.160
She will call me and ask me to come and hang out
on her place right after I've stepped out of the
:02.160 --> :07.400
shower and washed my hair. I know that if I go
I'll have to rewash my hair afterwards to get
:07.400 --> :12.960
rid of the cigarette smell, so I end up making
a random excuse about having other plans. I feel
:12.960 --> :18.000
like an butt about lying to her but I don't want
to hurt her feelings. How should I handle this? :19.600 --> :20.400

:53.160 --> :56.840 Parter states my decision will be
detrimental to our relationship. :56.840 --> :03.960
.(30F)[Me] and (27M), 5+ year relationship.
I recently purchased a two day ticket to a
:03.960 --> :09.240 festival (EDCO), for next November. This was
purchased alongside friends and family. My
:09.240 --> :14.400 partner got extremely upset. I’ve never
went away during our entire relationship.
:14.400 --> :18.840 This will be my first time. My decision
to go is causing them extreme anxiety, :18.840 --> :23.240
to the point that they are questioning what my
faithfulness will be once I arrive. They are
:23.240 --> :27.800 questioning if I will abuse substances while
I am there as well. (I have never done those
:27.800 --> :33.200 things). How can I navigate this with them?
How can the situation be diffused? I really
:33.200 --> :38.960 want to go. I’ve given no reason to not
be trusted so this is disheartening for me :38.960 --> :39.480

:12.760 --> :15.840 Got left out by friends for
thanksgiving dinner. Should I :15.840 --> :23.480
(21M) confront or pretend nothing happened?
I (21M) am currently in college (UK) and
:23.480 --> :27.040 have a friend group of around 10
people. In a social last week, :27.040 --> :34.800
one of them Mary (23F) asked me if I was coming
to Bella’s (21F) place for thanksgiving dinner
:34.800 --> :40.240 next weekend. At that point I realised they
were planning one so I said yes. But then I
:40.240 --> :45.640 heard nothing (like place and time) since so
this morning I texted Mary and asked if it was
:45.640 --> :51.280 still happening. There was no reply. Finally
tonight on social media I saw pics of Mary,
:51.280 --> :56.000
Bella and a few others in our friend group doing
thanksgiving dinner. We hanged out as usual in
:56.000 --> :01.160 the past week and nothing happened this week
so I’m really sad that I was left out. Should I
:01.160 --> :06.360
confront them and ask why was that or pretend
I didn’t see the pics and nothing happened? | give me a good story on rRelationshipsFRIENDSDIDNTINVITEMETOTHANKSGIVINGDINNERRedditStories |
|
:11.920 --> :15.840 These happened three separate times at
the same grocery store near my house. :15.840 --> :18.880
All are at least a year ago, but I only realized recently
:18.880 --> :22.080 that these are situations where
people thought I worked there! :22.080 --> :26.640
For context, we really like the self checkout
setup at this store because husband can stand
:26.640 --> :31.280
at the scanning station ringing up the items,
and then a conveyer belt sends them down to me
:31.280 --> :36.000
where I can bag them and put them in the cart
after. It's super efficient with the two of us,
:36.000 --> :39.920 so we really like doing this. Most
other people we see are there alone, :39.920 --> :45.280
so they scan all their purchases first, and then
walk down and bag everything up after. We're
:45.280 --> :51.040
usually the only duo making quick work of it, but
truthfully it's because we're both introverts,
:51.040 --> :55.360 so we're moving fast to buy our
s*** and get the f*** outta there! :55.360 --> :57.520
Cue the confusion from other people... :57.520 --> :00.240
First incident (short and anticlimactic): :00.240 --> :04.160
An excited lady came up to me, smiling,
and said, "Wow! How do I get one of :04.160 --> :09.760
those?" (Indicating to me bagging where
everyone else has no one bagging for them) :09.760 --> :14.000
I think she's being conversational and I'm
newly married enough that I'm still used to
:14.000 --> :19.600
the weird things people say about marriage that
make no actual sense to me, so I smile back,
:19.600 --> :24.160 gesture to myself, and say something
to the effect of "Marry a good one!" :24.160 --> :30.000
Her smile fades as she looks back and forth
to husband and me, realizes we're married and
:30.000 --> :35.680
I'm not the Grocery Bagging Lady, and then she
glances around awkwardly while wandering off. :35.680 --> :41.360
I think the interaction is weird, but move on
and don't think about it until the next two... :41.360 --> :42.480
Second incident: :42.480 --> :46.720
We're creatures of routine so you bet
we're doing the exact same setup of :46.720 --> :51.680
husband scanning and me bagging. Right next
to us are the smaller self scan stations,
:51.680 --> :56.720
so the bagging area is right next to the scanner
and it's ideal for people there alone with
:56.720 --> :01.520 15 items or less. Unfortunately, this
is the height of lockdown in the U.S. :01.520 --> :06.080
and lots of places are getting short
staffed, so the scanner can sometimes mess up
:06.080 --> :10.720 and there's no staff member standing right
there to help you. Cue this non-interaction: :10.720 --> :15.200
I'm much better now, but I've always had
social anxiety, so big places with lots
:15.200 --> :20.480 of people make me retreat even further into
my head. Loud people only make that worse. :20.480 --> :24.320
A woman at the smaller stations is
speaking loudly and aggressively, :24.320 --> :29.680
but I'm not listening because I'm busy, I hate
being in public so I'm probably at my limit on
:29.680 --> :35.280
interacting with others at this point, and also
I just think some people are loud sometimes and
:35.280 --> :41.120
I don't need to care so I don't. Our scanner needs
some employee input too, so we're unfortunately
:41.120 --> :46.880
just standing around waiting for someone to come
clear the error just like loud woman likely is. :46.880 --> :52.000
I also have a problem with overwork (I
know, I'm trying to cut back, I promise),
:52.000 --> :56.240 so I take the opportunity to get on
my phone and check work emails and :56.240 --> :00.960
probably fire off a response or two on
whatever the h*** project I have at the time.
:00.960 --> :05.840 I'm still not listening to loud lady, but
she's close enough that it's sort of obnoxious
:05.840 --> :11.040
as she keeps speaking, but I'm absorbed enough
in work s*** that I tune her out as best I can. :11.040 --> :15.440
Work emails sorted, I distinctly
remember avoiding looking her direction
:15.440 --> :21.360
because she's loud and I'm really reaching my
f***-i-hate-being-in-public limit, but eventually
:21.360 --> :27.120
looking behind me as I finally register she's
aggressively trying to get someone's attention.
:27.120 --> :33.040
Since I can tell it's directed a certain direction
(totally missing it's at ME), I remember looking
:33.040 --> :38.560 back behind me and only seeing the bathrooms
and summer random patrons milling around. :38.560 --> :44.000
Weird, I think, who the heck is she talking
to? There's no one over there. Oh well,
:44.000 --> :48.960 not my problem, people are all sorts of
strange, and I go back to Aggressively :48.960 --> :53.040
Minding My Own Business (a skill I am
incredibly proud of, for the record). :53.040 --> :58.640
Right around this point, thankfully an employee
appears, codes whatever thing our scanner needed
:58.640 --> :03.040 and then walks over to aggressive lady
next to help her. It's at this point, :03.040 --> :07.760
as I'm giving a sigh of relief that someone
can help her and get her the f*** away from me,
:07.760 --> :11.600 that I finally turn towards her as
we're grabbing our things to leave :11.600 --> :17.120
that I see her point at me and (I assume, in
hindsight) ask the employee if I work there. :17.120 --> :22.240
Employee looks confused, I only half heard
what she said because I was still Aggressively
:22.240 --> :27.040 Minding My Business, but I stop and pay more
attention seeing her finger pointing at me
:27.040 --> :29.920 and now am giving them both my full attention.
:29.920 --> :34.640 Employee says no or shakes her head as
I vaguely remember, but what I remember
:34.640 --> :38.000 SUPER clearly is loud lady
now just stares at me with :38.000 --> :39.120
her mouth open. (Legit just this face I see
people throw all over the Internet: 👁️👄👁️) :39.120 --> :43.360
Husband's finished throwing the last few things
in the cart and starts heading towards the exit,
:43.360 --> :49.440
so I just smile at this random lady staring at me,
no idea what the h*** just happened, but leave. :49.440 --> :54.800
Only in hindsight did I realize she was probably
trying to get my attention all that time,
:54.800 --> :00.880
but y'all I am talented at tuning things out. I'm
from a huge family with 4 older brothers who were
:00.880 --> :05.680
constantly getting into something, so I learned
young to tune out chaos that had nothing to do
:05.680 --> :10.880
with me. Also, real talk, people in the ghetto are
taught to do that because no one has time to pay
:10.880 --> :16.320
attention to every single thing going on around
them, and I only notice people wanting to do that
:16.320 --> :22.320
who grew up in safer neighborhoods. No problem,
live your best life, but I want nothing to do with
:22.320 --> :29.520
most situations, especially chaotic ones, because
it benefits me in no way to get involved, and,
:29.520 --> :36.240
if anything, can drag me into a bad situation
instead, so I stay the f*** out of stuff. :36.240 --> :38.800
Third and so far last incident: :38.800 --> :44.400
You guessed it, same setup as always at the
conveyer self checkout! This woman was so nice,
:44.400 --> :50.320 but good gracious I'm dense and she missed
so many opportunities to realize her mistake,
:50.320 --> :54.320 so this was a perfect storm of lol all around.
:54.320 --> :58.880 We're stuck with an error or input
needed again with no employee in sight,
:58.880 --> :04.400 so I'm on my phone while standing at the
bagging part as usual doing, you guessed it,
:04.400 --> :10.720
work emails again. I have a problem, I know, but
get chastised enough for missing one godforsaken
:10.720 --> :16.080 important tidbit buried in an email once,
and it's easy to become way too attentive
:16.080 --> :21.200 as an over correction. Anyway, this nice
lady walks up to me and gives no context
:21.200 --> :26.560
but says she needs help. She looks about my age,
maybe only a little older, but I was frequently
:26.560 --> :31.840 mistaken as being younger than I am, so that
probably isn't helping me in these situations. :31.840 --> :35.840
I actually don't mind helping people
anywhere if they come up asking for help,
:35.840 --> :41.520
and since I'm stuck waiting anyway, I say sure and
ask her what she needs. I honestly forget what her
:41.520 --> :47.360
problem was all these months later, but I remember
it was something where she too needed an employee,
:47.360 --> :52.000 so I told her to stand at the station where
employees usually are stationed and wait
:52.000 --> :57.200 for someone. I say this with a smile, think
nothing of it, and go back to work on my phone. :57.200 --> :00.400
I don't remember the exact way she asked for help again,
:00.400 --> :06.160 but I remember I was typing a response to a
coworker/boss and she interrupted me twice,
:06.160 --> :10.960
so I was at first accommodating but the second
time asked her to let me fire off work email
:10.960 --> :15.840 first and then she could ask her question.
This time she tries to lead me somewhere,
:15.840 --> :21.200 and I vaguely register my husband saying my
name to get my attention as I start going
:21.200 --> :26.880
with her (in hindsight... Yeah, I was clearly
mentally checked out to start following her). :26.880 --> :31.760
I stop, a little alarmed that my frazzled
overworked brain was snapped to attention
:31.760 --> :37.200 so aggressively, and husband tells me gently
that she thinks I work there. He turns to say
:37.200 --> :42.560
something to the lady, but I laugh and say, "She
doesn't think I work here! She just needs help.
:42.560 --> :47.920
I'll be right back." I turn back to her with a
smile and gesture to go ahead. Whatever she says
:47.920 --> :52.560
ends is back up at the employee station where
I tell her she needs to wait for an employee. :52.560 --> :57.600
I remember her mentioning something about how it
takes so long for someone to come, and I gently
:57.600 --> :03.280
reply that I'm sure they're understaffed like a
lot of places are so we just have to be patient
:03.280 --> :07.280 and we'll all get through it, etc. She
then asks sweetly why I couldn't help her,
:07.280 --> :11.280 and I genuinely still don't click
that she thinks I work there, :11.280 --> :15.280
so laugh and say I probably could figure out their MS-DOS
:15.280 --> :20.960
system if I tried! But y'know that's it because
I still think we're just being conversational. :20.960 --> :23.840
Husband's still hanging out with
all our stuff at our register, :23.840 --> :28.400
so since I can see we're not leaving any
time soon, I hang out with the lady a bit
:28.400 --> :33.440 and make what I assume is small talk while
she's actually trying to genuinely figure
:33.440 --> :38.400 out why I can't just do whatever thing she
needs done. Because she's so nice about it,
:38.400 --> :43.600 I think some of her questions are a little
weird but just keep being a total dunce by
:43.600 --> :48.880 thinking we're just chatting as two people
passing the time in the same situation ("Oh,
:48.880 --> :53.840
what department do you work for?" "Oh, I do Job
Description, which is really cool because...") :54.560 --> :58.800
Eventually, an employee comes and keys
in whatever we needed at the register :58.800 --> :02.880
where husband has been patiently waiting,
and I tell lady it was nice chatting or
:02.880 --> :08.080 whatever and go to leave. It's at this point
she asks, a little panicked, where I'm going,
:08.080 --> :13.760
and I'm genuinely confused as I tell her I'm going
home. Her mouth is a little agape as she says
:13.760 --> :19.360
"Home? Then who's going to help me?" I tell her
an employee will, and that I'm done shopping so
:19.360 --> :24.960
that's why I'm going home. She keeps gaping as
husband hands me my purse and jacket and I think
:24.960 --> :31.440
she finally realizes (maybe, who in the world
knows) and wanders off as I turn around and leave. :31.440 --> :35.840
Husband gently, again, tells me she
thought I worked there as we're leaving,
:35.840 --> :40.560 and I again laugh and go, "Nooo, I don't
have to work somewhere to help people!" :40.560 --> :45.840
I realize typing this out that I must be an
exhausting wife to keep up with sometimes,
:45.840 --> :48.640 but he's very patient with my overworked brain.
:48.640 --> :53.440
I also realize typing this all out for the first
time that I stopped checking work emails over
:53.440 --> :58.400
the weekend (what I was doing in these stories),
but I was just answering work stuff at a friend
:58.400 --> :04.080
get-together last night at 8pm on a Friday night
and husband told me I've got to stop working
:04.080 --> :10.480
after hours then too, and I responded in a huff
saying I wish I could but boss this and that...
:10.480 --> :16.480
I have a real problem, I finally realize. Ugh.
Time for hard stops, my brain is always so dead
:16.480 --> :08.720
these days... this is my first post here, so I
apologize if I get formatting and stuff wrong. :22.320 --> :26.190
this also happened around 10 years ago, so
I may miss some important details. Sorry. :26.190 --> :26.640
Characters - Mom, Dad, me, and Karen plus some
ninor characters like cop, judge, employee :26.640 --> :31.520
Important background - my mom is paralyzed from
the waist down, so my dad and I would take her
:31.520 --> :36.560 out grocery shopping every now and then. She
had a motorized wheelchair, but it was too bulky
:36.560 --> :41.680 to take with us to the store, so we brought
her non-motorized (push) wheelchair with us. :41.680 --> :45.600
Dad would push her around, while I would
pull stuff off the shelves she wanted us
:45.600 --> :49.440 to get and put them in our cart. One
other note - Dad has a voice that he's :49.440 --> :54.000
used in the past to scare people. Just
ask old potential boyfriends of mine. :54.000 --> :58.800
While doing this, Karen began
yelling, "Hey miss?" then whistling, :58.800 --> :03.840
then the dreaded throat clear. I put the
last item in the cart and turned and said,
:03.840 --> :10.000
"can I help you?" when she thrust a list at me and
demanded, "Get me the stuff on my list." I should
:10.000 --> :15.040 note that I look nothing like the employees,
they wear blue from head to toe basically,
:15.040 --> :19.360 and I was wearing a yellow sundress
with daisies on it. I said, "No, :19.360 --> :23.680
I'm helping my mother now, I think there's an
employee at the front desk who can help you." :23.680 --> :28.480
She didn't like this and reached out to grab
my arm, saying something like, "You will help
:28.480 --> :34.800 me now!" Sorry, no threats of "I will get
you fired." I shoved her away, shouted "NO!"
:34.800 --> :41.040 when I felt the blood running down my arm
where her nails had broken my skin on my bicep.
:41.040 --> :46.080
Dad looked over and kinda freaked when he saw
the blood and shouted "Leave my daughter alone!"
:46.080 --> :49.920 Mom was looking at something on her list,
but my dad's voice was loud enough to get
:49.920 --> :54.480 an employee to rush over. He asked if
there was a problem, and my dad said, :54.480 --> :59.520
"this woman just assaulted my daughter, do you
have a first aid kit or something to help her out?
:59.520 --> :05.200
I'm going to call the cops while you get this.
Upon hearing the word "Cops", the lady just sunk
:05.200 --> :11.120 to the floor crying and trying to say it was
just a misunderstanding. When the cops arrived,
:11.120 --> :16.400
I had been bandaged up and the manager had come
up and upon listening to my and my dad's story,
:16.400 --> :21.360
as well as the employee describing the aftermath,
they went to the back with the manager to check
:21.360 --> :27.520 the video. Meanwhile, the lady is crying,
saying "I'll lose my kids." No "Sorry" or
:27.520 --> :32.880
anything like that. The cops arrested her for
assault on a minor and took her away crying. :32.880 --> :39.680
At the trial later, the two things I most remember
is that she was on probation and did indeed lose
:39.680 --> :45.680
custody of her kids (I think the father got them),
And she tried to say "It was an honest mistake,
:45.680 --> :50.880 I thought she was an employee." Whereupon
the judge said, "even if she was an employee,
:50.880 --> :55.200
what gives you the right to grab someone like
this?" while showing her the pictures that
:55.200 --> :01.200
were taken of my bloody arn. She broke into more
tears as the judge read her sentence, including
:01.200 --> :07.920
the loss of her children due to violating her
probation, plus some community service, I think. :07.920 --> :11.920
Much later, as part of her effort
to get her children back, she had :11.920 --> :16.800
to write me a letter of apology which
is still in my parent's attic in a box. | give me a good story on rIDontWorkHereLadyHOWIMADEACRAZYKARENCRYRedditStories |

what is the grossest thing you've seen in public I used to live in Japan and my
friend came to visit and wanted to go to
a maid Cafe for reference a maid Cafe is
a place in the nerdy part of Tokyo where
people go in and basically have a cutesy
high-pitched voice Japanese girl dressed as a maid server and talk to them so I
was translating and very uncomfortable by the whole thing but my friend was
getting a kick out of it which made it a bit easier next to us though was this
obese boy of maybe 15 years old you could tell he was what they call an
otaku and lacked a lot of common hygienic practices so we're eating and
his maid comes over and squats down next to him to check on him he reaches into
his nostrils pulls out this huge booger with a long string of goopy snot still
Tethered to his nose and eats it in front of her true to character she just
gleefully exclaims was it good master I thought I was going to vomit right there
I was so grossed out and overcome by feelings of pity for that poor girl I
really was just totally overwhelmed | give me a good story on Whatisthegrossestthingyouveseeninpublicorig |

AIT for announcing at our reception that
we're already married I 30f got engaged to Jack 31m last year from the start
wedding planning was a nightmare we were excited to celebrate and begin venue
searching but Jack broke his knee and couldn't walk for months during Jack's
recovery his brother Paul got engaged to Eva immediately the family's attention
shifted Paul and Eva got an engagement party they got to tour venues go dress
shopping we were just the other one by the time Jack recovered we realized that
not only did we not want to compete with Paul and Eva but that traditional
wedding wasn't in our budget it would be cheaper to alope in Greece with close
friends and family than honeymoon there happy with our decision we told the
family in May that we would get married in Greece in December everyone was
excited for exactly 6 days until Paul and Eva shared their date one month
before hour it felt intentional Paul has a thing about being the eldest and
married first and surprise everything then turned to them band or DJ white or
beige Linens who will be the flower girl
everyone only cared about Paul and Eva's
big wedding not me and jack it felt like everything was going wrong only one
member of the bridal party Taylor said she'd go to Greece even my mom wouldn't
come Paul and Eva were determined to upstage us nobody cared about our
wedding even the bachelorette party sucked but that's another story so Jack
and I decided in July to do a private Courthouse ceremony something just for
us instead of everyone else Jack and I still eloped in gree alone see edit
below it was perfect and we had a little
of our budget left so decided to throw a small reception for friends/family back
in the us when we returned there we shared our secret that Jack and I
actually married in July people freaked out Eva blurted what was the point of
grease and fumed the rest of the night our friends were quiet and kept to
themselves Taylor left early for an emergency even my mom left early later
Taylor called and said she felt hurt she wasn't included in the real wedding she
was included she found out about our real wedding when my own family did she
was invited to the reception and the boach the two most intimate and
expensive celebrations of my life she used a lot of therapy talk like your day
isn't about me I just wanted to be a part of it but nobody else complained
including my family who are more important to me than anything if they
didn't feel excluded why should she my cooworker thinks aita she said people
traveled for our reception on late notice just to be told they weren't
important enough for the real wedding but nobody cared about our wedding they
just felt entitled to it after the fact ETA there were three events one
Courthouse July just us two ceremony honeymoon and Greece deck just us and
three reception in us with family in January we unfortunately had to uninvite
my in-laws and Taylor from Greece after my mom could attend | give me a good story on AITAforannouncingatourreceptionthatwerealreadymarried |

friend lost out on a winning $11,000 lotto ticket because of me he's crying
over money and I don't feel guilty I'm part of a specialized friend group where
we all share the same hobby not really a hobby but I don't want to give out
personal identifying information if I State what it really was asterisk I was
really excited to join this group as I've been an avid hobbyist for over 6
years I got to meet the entire group minus Mike and we all got along great it
was an easy transition into the group and I was having a ton of fun finally
about a month after joining I met Mike Mike was okay pretty tough to get to
know like pulling teeth but I just kind of ignored it and kept moving on with
everyone else meanwhile Mike was really inconsistent with showing up to the
twice a month group meetings so I didn't really get to know him throughout the
years Mike had an Infamous birthday party that he would invite the group to
except for me the first year I was okay with it because I had just joined and
was about 2 weeks in second year I forgot about it until everyone was
talking about it and then asked me why I didn't go well I wasn't invited third
year same thing I wasn't invited so that one stung a little and I made it my
mission to really try and get to know him a bit more however it was never
reciprocated and proved to be a difficult task the problem was the guy
runs hot and cold he's overly dramatic on some days and quiet as a mouse on
other days one time he'll get mad if you hug him another time he'll be in your
face all EXC Ed telling you the latest new Gadget he got then the next time you
see him he's the complete opposite super Huggy and barely talks you'll ask him
questions about himself and he will either give you one word or vague
answers this is not just to me but to everyone and you never know which mic
you will get on any given day I finally asked the group about him and their
thoughts and they all said exactly what I said down to the letter I followed up
with why is he with this group technically he was with the starting
group members and has never left so everyone just tolerates him for our
meeting just before his birthday I got him a card wrote him a nice sentiment
and bought do10 worth of scratchers brought it with me and he didn't show
came home told the hubby that I was disappointed and a little mad that once
again he doesn't show and that holds back the group dynamic for the evening
also he wasn't there for the third time in a row which is also a rule break
within the group so out of my frustration I decided to scratch them off myself
to my surprise every card was a winner technically won
$1,012 I was so excited this is the fourth year and he celebrated his
birthday month in August didn't invite me again but at this point I'm no longer
offended or hurt by it I don't want to go it's almost mid-september and he's
endlessly complaining on social media right now on how broke he is from the
two parties he through now his car needs repairs totaling do 1,000 and he's
basically crying for anyone to donate some money
I keep laughing at his posts because had
he shown up to our meeting he would have had the money to pay for his car repair
also no one in the group knew I brought a card and that I had some winning lotto
tickets relevant comments additional info from op he wrote in our private
group chat asking for some financial help I responded I'm praying for you
right now honestly if he was a nicer person I would have held on to the card
and lotto tickets for him we have a meeting tonight and he's not going even
though someone offered him a ride op on if they should tell him he seems like
the type that would hold a grudge or go off on a tyrant on how he is owed the
money again he's super dramatic and there is not telling on how he will
react to the news update here not sure if anyone remembers or cares about my
previous post from a few months back but
I have an update one of the updates that happened in my previous post was that
his aunt gave him $1,500 to get his car fixed he went
shopping and bought a dog and a1200 outfit so he still doesn't have a car
but I belong to his social media and he easily gets around town and out of the
city so he has some type of Transportation but I know it's not his
own car that needed repair now onto an update that happened Wednesday so this
past week was our secret Santa gift exchange wouldn't you know it I got him
and he got me he didn't show up so now I'm without a gift exchange and I just
said in my head screw it I was prepared for this and bought something that I
liked which were more lottery tickets asterisk I scratched them off in front
of everyone and won $75 super exciting everyone blasted it
on social media he contacted me this morning saying that he couldn't make it
last night because his dog was sick and he had my gift ready he was excited to
receive the $1.75 because he really needed it I didn't respond meanwhile he
posted on his social media that he was out with friends that night so I guess
he forgot that we are connected on social media last night we had a special
meeting that was pre-planned for months we did the secret santa exchange earlier
in the week because we knew we wouldn't be able to celebrate it last night he
shows up gives me a big hug Chit Chats in the most friendliest way ever which
he has never done with me before so it just looks and feels like someone
completely sucking up he eventually asks me directly for the money and doesn't
even have the gift he's supposed to give me with him for an exchange it's not
like he had a backpack or bag that was in him okay great so where is the money
I was to win from my gift exchange me oh don't worry about the gift exchange I'm
fine and I walked away that's all I said
it didn't even make complete sense to me when I thought about it later but it
left him dumbfounded he tried to complain about it to the others in the
group but they were just not having it with no collaboration they all said
basically the same thing you hardly ever
show up and when you do you are not 100% in you rarely talked to the unpolitical
when she is here and now you want her to hand over $1.75 for a gift you were not
even here for she had nothing to open and was left out she owes you nothing I
have a feeling that this will not be the last I will hear of it but I Will Stand
My Ground thanks for reading my nephew keeps trying to kill
me and I'm unprepared in March I started helping my sister with her 14-year-old
son we have a bond or so I thought he needed a good education he needs

hello everybody hope you're all doing well my name is steven and this is the
story time channel today we have some malicious compliance
stories on our first story of the day is by baoland
i didn't know being sick was first come first serve
so this happened to me a while ago 2014-ish when i worked at a fast food
restaurant in the uk with a red-headed clown as a mascot as
well as for some of the managers there i have tons of malicious compliance
stories from this place and one day i will get around to posting them all
but for now here is this one now being an eating establishment hygiene is very
important as you can imagine the policy when i started there and as far as i'm
aware is the same to this day maybe even more
strict considering the whole pandemic thing that's happening
was that if you were sick you had to have 48 hours off from the time you call in
sick to ensure that you are better for returning to work so you don't poison
the customers makes sense right i'm ill i'm handling food
i'm going to get other sick i'm not feeling great at all this shift
i was feeling a little off in the morning but thought i might be able to
get better by the evening when my shift is over the day i started to get a cough
fever runny and blocked nose headache you know full on cold
the policy also states that if you are going to call in sick
it should be no later than two hours before your shift starts
fair enough it gets to two hours before my small four hour shift and i feel
dreadful so i call up the manager on the shift that day hi manager it's
op cough i feel awful i shouldn't be working today
sniff manager says you can't be sick we need you in today
i say i really am not well i'm coughing and my nose is running everywhere
deep heavy cough the manager says i have already had three people call in sick
for today so you need to be here see you in a couple hours hangs up
so here i am dripping with sweat looking like death could take me at any moment
so with a small smirk on my face i think okay guess i'm gonna go to work tonight
i proceed to get ready get in the car and drive to work now
there is no back door for employees to slip into at this place
so we have to use the main entrance and walk through the dining area to go into
the back of the kitchen so step one make sure i am seen by as
many people as possible looking like something out of a horror movie
i shamble through the front door making sure to have a fit of coughing complete
in my uniform so all the customers can see
i am unwell i make sure to wave and say hi to my colleagues on the counter in
the huskiest voice i have before wandering through to the door
that leads to the kitchen at this point i would like to say that i
was in fact very sick that day and i should not have been working but i
wanted to teach my boss a lesson so i might have exaggerated my
symptoms just a little bit to make sure the point stuck i make it
to the break room where two of my crewmates are and
immediately both ask if i'm feeling all right i tell them no but i have a point
to prove which is why i'm here i check the rota in the break room and
bingo i'm on the register front of house everyone can see me this
is perfect for step two ensure each person i serve questions if i'm fit to work
i wander through the kitchen to the register and start working
my first customer places an order and they look a little wary
i get them their food they go and sit down to start eating
my boss has seen this exchange and you can see the gears turning in his head
can't be having a zombie serving food i know let's put them in the kitchen where
they can't be seen i get told to swap with a person who was
working grill so yes i am no longer seen by anyone but they have moved me from
working with wrapped food which i couldn't
contaminate to working with creating the food from scratch
great idea there boss fyi i never intentionally poisoned someone's food i
was trying to be very good and stepped out of the kitchen every
time i needed to cough and blow my nose washed my hands and then got back to it
i have been working for an hour or so now
still three to go and by this point i'm feeling lightheaded and unable to focus
on what i'm doing i'm not exaggerating anymore i am not good at
all it's not very busy so i'm just trying to keep myself on my feet
in walks the night manager who happens to be the acting store manager too
night manager says evening op i grun and sniff
night manager says are you feeling alright i slowly shake my head
night manager says why didn't you call in sick
i say i did i was told that others had already called in sick so i had to be
here she looks around at the pretty empty restaurant and plenty of staff
including the manager who had me come in sitting in the dining area
pretending to look busy while being on his phone night manager says
clock out go home get better and don't worry about your shifts for the next two
days i nod and just before i go to get my
stuff i see her storm to the manager in the break area before dragging him
into the office i go back to work after a couple of days like i was told
feeling 100 i am greeted by the night manager who checks on me which i'm
grateful for i start to work and get caught up on the workplace gossip
turns out the manager who made me work that day was given a right bolicking
that night and he turned in his resignation the next day or so
the rumor goes so if you were noticeably sick
and your manager told you it doesn't matter come in
are you going in and trying to do some kind of malicious compliance or are you
outright refusing and staying home let me know what you would have done in
the comments down below our next story is by exo revan
obnoxious manager tells me i might as well go home with my
attitude i comply this story happened to
me a few years ago when i was working in a cafe as a cashier
waiter side note my job was to work the bar and handle till but i was expected
to help out waiters when i had the time and they were swamped fun times
the place had two managers one of which i'll call awesome because that's what
she was and the other i'll call a witch no points for guessing why
awesome manager was a 40-something woman that took no crap from people
but was always willing to help if it was needed which
on the other hand was an entitled brat no older than 23
insisted that everyone referred to her by her full name
and generally spent her time at work berating people and chatting with one or
two friends either way due to some sort of scheduling shenanigans
it turned out that for a weekend we would only have myself and one waiter
working in there i still have no clue how that
happened or why would everyone be okay with it but we ended up having half the
necessary workforce for a weekend saturday comes and the place is utterly packed
i'm talking full seating packed here awesome manager helps me in waiter out
we are exhausted but managed to pull through i was hoping sunday would be less
stressful boy how wrong i was sunday comes and it's
witch who is on shift as it goes around 1 to 2 p.m the place starts getting
filled in and both me and waiter are running
around like headless chickens trying to serve a full cafe
which is sitting in her office despite me walking up to her and asking to help
us okay whatever the rush dies down a little but i have several orders for tea
and an empty boiler seeing as how i didn't have time to refill it
water goes in i go behind the bar and wait which enters the stage seeing several
empty teacups and me standing there which asks me why i haven't made tea yet i
as calmly as one could be after such a rush
tell her that i haven't had the time to refill the boiler and i will get it done
as soon as it heats up which says well why hadn't you refilled it earlier
it's your job do it properly at this point i was
already stressed out enough for me to slam my fist down onto the bar and
pointed all the tables seated i said i didn't have enough time and i
told you we needed help half an hour ago i'm doing my job as well as i can while
being understaffed this has definitely struck a nerve as she looks me in the
eye and goes if you can't control your emotions
maybe you should go home right now i say sure
i'll be on my way and i headed to the dressing room
she naturally decided to follow i will make sure to fine you
an amount of russian money nobody here would get for leaving this shift
early i said i don't care feel free and just like that i left my shift not even
five hours in i honestly felt so relieved this day
it made me realize that it's not worth it to put up with abuse on your work
just for a paycheck as an added bonus next time i came on my shift
witch was going out of her way to not talk to me and i haven't had any fines
for leaving that day though i did apologize to waiter but he was understanding
a few days later i had a talk with hr who told me that
it's pretty hard to find a job these days so maybe i should be more reserved
i told her that i was planning to move cities and this was my second to last
month of working there she didn't have much else to say for this
story you don't really have to look at it too hard to realize that
it's all just a bad manager bad manager doesn't care
willing to throw you under the bus even in this economy
opie's probably better off looking for another job than dealing with that
this next story is by koto lsr a literal ton
of salt i was recently reminded of an incident in my youth when i worked for a
large canadian big box store known for having its own currency
if you are canadian or have been to canada you know the one
for the most part a decent place to work got my first aid slash aed certificate
as well as my forklift license at 16 through them
being the youngest licensed operator on staff who also was not in a management
position meant i was largely the go-to person for
grabbing things with the forklift however i was not given my own key so
one cold and blustery december right before christmas the customer service
manager needed me to move a pallet of water softener salt from the back dock
to the front of the store it would sit right outside of the
entrance 12 kilogram bags 10 to a row 10 rows high not too hard to
do on a flat ground just needs a bit of a jerk to get it
moving and provided you don't have to stop the weight keeps it moving on its own
with little force however they were not in the warehouse
dock but outside to make it easier for the forklift to pick them up and move
them round front the customer service manager was not
trained on the forklift and did not have a key
and for some reason on that busy day before christmas
neither did anyone else in the store a fact i tried to explain
but was just told to get it done now the exterior of the dock is one of those
ones that slopes down so the truck can be leveled with the floor to make it
easier to offload and move stock to the floor
naturally these salt pallets were next to the store's exterior wall
and we did not have a power jack just the regular old hand cards
there was a trick to moving heavy loads up hill don't try to pull it straight up
make small incremental zigzags 6 to 12 inches to one side at a time
slowly walking it up the hill an hour and a half later
it was at the front door of the store the customer service manager was
needless to say extremely angry that the only person who was covering the
warehouse for the entire store had disappeared for an hour and a half
and demanded to know why i hadn't just used the forklift
i replied that no one in the store had the key she had told me to just get it
done and that it was now time for my legally entitled 15 minutes of break
the next day i was given my own key to the forklift
and all management was required to go for forklift training
you would just think for an employee who's licensed to do the work they do on
a day-to-day basis they would be equipped with all the
supplies they need to actively do the job
not some weird i have to find a key from somebody else to actually begin my work
this next story is by mcgreen minor malicious compliance with deltek so
deltek a great tool for timesheets and a ball and chain at times too
recently i'd have been given my mid-year review and was dinged
pretty hard for not knowing slash not checking my utilization rate
i knew i was to be at 85 percent or better but not what my exact number was
i knew i was good though so since then every monday i'm checking my numbers
usually floating about 90 percent or so depending on various meetings not
billable to projects last week however i had about a day's
worth of work that was for projects but i wasn't given a project number
i had to stick it all on admin which crushed my weekly rate to like
82 percent cue the emails to my pm and my boss i need a number for this
work we will get you one no problem by saturday still no number
fired an email off to my boss no response monday however
we have a hard deadline that all timesheets have to be done by 8 am
8 10 i get a reminder email from the time sheet guy
hey where's your time sheet emailed him the short version of what's going on
8 30 i get an email from my boss why is your timesheet not done
pointing back to my emails about needing a project number and how it's crushing
my utilization i can't have this unbillable time on my sheet
15 minutes later i get an email that a new project number is
open for me time sheet submitted and look i'm at 97 for the last week
i'm not saying nobody is to blame but even in the most perfect of systems
sometimes there's cracks in it that can slip through
and it might have been a legitimate error that took them until
more than the last second of correct but it didn't hurt op in the end which is
great and our final story of the day is by vengeance058
well i gave what you wanted right any video professionals
i work for a collegiate athletics department where one of my many duties
is creating intro videos for teams the thing that plays on a video board
ahead of games our baseball coach was of the type that believes they know what
looks best on video instead of the guy paid to do it he
wants old highlights footage of pro players a voice over
text etc all of which looks bad and very very cheesy
music choice was less than stellar i tried to change his mind but as the
deadline grew i eventually decided okay i'll do it how you want
cue it's first showing the team laughed at him
loudly not at the video but at him cause they knew it was his idea
and you could hear it throughout the stands several opposing teams did as well
when they saw it next season much more conciliatory when it came to do the new
one some people have the absolute best eye for these kinds of things
and some people think they have the absolute best eye for these types of things

Welcome Friends to another r slash malicious compliance video today we've
got a lot of awesome compliance stories and our first story of the day is from I
want a secret garden now you get to be HOA president two parent malicious
compliance about 25 years ago my parents built their dream house although the
house is now in the middle of a large Metroplex when they built it it was in
the fringes of the countryside with rapid development over two decades when
they bought the lot they were the first to purchase from the developer the
developer sold to three original neighbors my parents and two others all
at the end of a cul-de-sac in a row the other streets in this plat became a
large subdivision with a fancy name that
would come to Bear a lot of prestige but that meant being part of an HOA they
didn't want that the developer wouldn't sell them the land without an HOA if you
aren't part of the community you'll need
to form your own HOA and get it approved so my dad with a beatific grin said he
would be the HOA president of our single
Suburban Street he and the two neighbors drafted the bylaws of their own HOA in
strict accordance with the planned neighborhood but they added a special
provision that the president of the HOA could name a successor instead of having
the street vote on one absent to majority rejection the successor would
be the president essentially trying to avoid terms and campaigning while still
offering folks a way to dispute the HOA president important for later so in the
winter of 1994 my father very seriously took the thick black CD binder full of
laminated and hole punched instructions and pages on how to be a good HOA
president and put that binder in the very back of a cabinet and forgot about
it for the next 16 years the homeowners of our street were not asked to pay an
annual fee and the HOA didn't police number of cars colors of front doors or
any other ridiculous standards HOAs enforce as it was a quiet cul-de-sac no
one did anything more egregious than the occasional Reckless teenager than a new
family built a house across from us it consisted of two children a husband and
a stay-at-home mom will call Gladys Kravitz for the Bewitched fans now
Gladys was a real busy body she would stand at the front windows of her house
to watch and Patrol which cars were using the cul-de-sac to turn around when
the houses down the street held events and parties and were using the front of
her house to park for literally a night and sending noise complaints to the
police about barking dogs her other neighbor's kids they were six in a
blended family the other neighbors cars they were collectors not even repairing
cars and other ridiculously Petty things she didn't have a job so safety patrol
became her whole identity she would always hurry over to gossip whenever my
mom was out taking the trash cans to the curb sadly my dad contracted
neuromuscular disease in 2005. it got bad quickly and he was confined to a
wheelchair I learned to drive from my hardship license in a handicapped van
and we had more than the usual number of cars due to round-the-clock caregivers
in the later years Gladys decided it was
time to offer help to my poor mother who was slaving absurd hours just to keep
the creditors at Bay Gladys very sweetly approached expressed her sympathies for
our struggles pointed out the number of cars in our driveway and generously so
generously offered to take over the president of the HOA duties if my father
would name her successor after being hounded the sixth or seventh time and
Gladys hinting that if my mom was struggling so much maybe she could send
my Dad to hospice and move houses to something more suited in fact gladys's
best friend was looking for a house and would love to live across the street and
buy our house my mom freaking snapped she basically told Gladys to stop asking
and that her husband was dying and it was incredibly insensitive and rude to
offer to kick us out of the neighborhood and take over just because she wanted
clout to annoy the Neighbors about letting kids play basketball after 6 PM
Gladys responded nastily that my dad would have to name his successor because
when he died soon the HOA presidency would revert back for election okay then
Gladys you're absolutely right my dad should name someone the HOA president as
his successor after his 16-year Reign malicious compliance activated after my
dad died my mom found out she was named as the next HOA president in my dad's
will dad never said anything about it while he was alive but his humor was
always understated Gladys was a pop of Gladys was apoplectic she tried to
overturn the successor claim and run against my mom but nobody else on the
street contested the choice no one all all new neighbors after 20 years even
knew we had a special single Street HOA and for another nine years my mom did
absolutely nothing as HOA president my mom had to sell the home in 2019 very
unwillingly as it was the house my parents built together but with the
development of the city property taxes had risen too high and priced her out I
took a week off work to fly out and help her pack and while packing up the house
we found my dad's OG 1994 HOA binder bylaws and all and of course mom had to
name an HOA successor so this time she did comply the malicious part was more
against everyone else very ceremoniously LOL not my Mom finally named Gladys the
president of the HOA and gave her the binder which apparently has long since
been digitized and something Gladys had been reading for fun in prep operation
of this moment apparently Gladys went rabid with the power as her kids had
gone off to college and promptly charged
everyone on the street a hundred dollars
a month towards neighborhood incidentals supposedly for mowing the strip that
people just mowed themselves and a highly encouraged neighborhood barbecue
one Saturday a month to address the neighborhood concerns she also outlawed
basketball hoops and driveways dictated no cars could be parked on the street or
in driveways but only in garages things like landscaping and holiday Decor
approval and other inane absurd power trips my mom kept her next door app open
and watched Gladys go down in flames three separate households moved and
dropped long hate-filled call out posts about Gladys making their lives a misery
until they couldn't stand it anymore that's three of 12 houses by the way
yeah Gladys wrecked the single Street HOA with a quarter loss Gladys got
everything she wanted my dad the name and HOA successor my mom did him an HOA
successor for us to move away and for her to finally be HOA president and now
everyone absolutely hates her and no one
will pay for her a hundred dollars or go to her barbecues and before my Mom
finally deleted the street from her next door it seems that the rest of the
street had voted to hold an election for a new HOA president her tenure lasted
six months Gladys doesn't understand why people talk so fondly about my parents
as the most ideal HOA Presidents since they never did a thing my mom is two
years into her new home and does not miss the neighborhood anymore at all I
think it goes without saying that Gladys
deserved the hate considering everything
they wanted to do and ended up doing but as everybody else that hears the story
left wondering why did they finally give in and give it to Gladys why not just
hand it over to any other person that would just want to do nothing and let
the street be the street if you were off
for the title of being the HOA president knowing you'd probably get bothered by
Gladys but beyond that you don't have to
do anything would you take it to protect
the piece of the street let me know what you guys think in the comments down

our next story is from most Thai 8919 we're having dinner as a family the
story takes place in the late 90s when I was a child I'm not from an
English-speaking country but my grandparents used to travel a lot back
then they brought us a digital camera from Japan some years before they were
available at electronic shops and they also bought me several video games that
were just released in the US one day they brought me a copy of Pokemon Blue
but I had a very hard time getting to understand the game since I couldn't
read English so well I had a friend who was also trying to make sense of the
game so we would call each other every few minutes whenever we discovered
something new being during the 90s I had to dial my friend's family landline and
I would have to ask to speak to my friend whenever their parents would pick
up the phone instead of him my parents were already tired of having the phone
ring every few minutes and then yell at me to pick up the phone since every time
the phone rang it was my friend one night we were having dinner when the
phone rang again my parents were visibly annoyed at the constant Interruption of
peace and my mom told me in a very serious tone that I should go pick up
the phone and tell my friend that I cannot speak right now since we're
having dinner as a family and that I would call back later begrudgingly and
feeling wronged I stood up to go pick up the phone in the hallway turns out that
the one that was calling was not my friend but my grandma that was traveling
in a distant continent during ungodly hours so that she could speak to my mom
that's when I saw my chance for malicious compliance and took it I
loudly said so that my mom would hear me
in the dining room hi Grandma yes my mom is here but she can't pick up the phone
right now since we're having dinner as a family I went back to the dinner table
to see my mom red and anger while my dad was trying really hard not to laugh I
mean to be fair though like imagine ourselves in those parents positions
where the kids keep calling back and forth and you usually had like maybe one
main proper phone line at that point that hallway is just gonna keep ringing
every so often all throughout the day like in those parents shoes you kind of
understand why they're just like just stop calling all the freaking time it
was bad enough as it was back then with telemarketers and spam calls because
things just weren't so connected it was way more expected for somebody to
actually pick up a phone and our final story of the day is from Chris Mig
monkey 4 just bring me a freaking Burger okay so my boyfriend male 30 insisted I
needed to start a Reddit account because
he's sure his parents would find find it if he made one plus I have stories and
he insisted that I female 24 should start with how we met a malicious
compliant story so here we go I 22 at the time was working at a mom-and-pop
diner when my boyfriend and his four friends walk in and sit down on my table
I walked over with my nothing in my world is wrong and my feet don't feel
like they're about to fall off smile and started with drinks round of waters and
caffeinated beverages later I was back to take their food order I got down the
first four orders with no problem and full on getting checked out by a couple
of the boys my boyfriend included I'm considered pretty and I get that
sometimes so I don't mind it they all seem tired and most of them in a
pleasant mood the fifth friend I'll call him Richard Richard was short-tempered
and just wanted me to hurry and do my job instead of flirting which I wasn't
just giggling more at their jokes I lived off tips one when it was Richard's
turn to order he wanted a burger but he wanted to change an ad quite a bit not
usually a problem but he was talking so fast I had to keep repeating what he was
saying to make sure I got everything right the first time and I didn't have
to have his Burger remade he kept saying things like are you slow and just do
your job and get me my burger after I repeated his Burger order four times and
the rest of the tables order once he got angry and bursted out yes woman you got
it right now go back put it in and bring me out a freaking Burger I tried not to
sigh and apologize telling him I'll bring it right out when it's done I
grabbed a few refills and apologized to a table nearby and went back and put in
their orders then I had a thought a rather devious thought I have a bag of
candy I keep in my bag for when I go home and pass by a neighbor's apartment
single mother of four the kids loved me and their mom loved it when I helped
pick up her shifts when needed some of those candies were those gummy SpongeBob
Krabby patty burgers so I fished five out put four in my pocket and put one on
one of our smallest plates I brought it out to him and there was a full 10
seconds between when I set the plate down and Richard's four friends starting
laughing I said something like I'm so sorry it took so long sir but it does
take some time to throw together a freaking Burger I must have stunned him
so bad he couldn't talk because he didn't yell at me or anything I pulled
out the other four and set them on the table asking for their continued
patience and took some of their drinks to refill I could still hear them
laughing from the soda machines in the end I discounted his meal for my rude
Behavior which my boyfriend told me Richard never noticed and there was no
more complaining from Richard I got a pretty big tip and three phone numbers I
only messaged my boyfriend because he handed his to me instead of leaving it
on the table with the tip he asked me out for dinner enter and I sent him a
picture of two Krabby Patties and said dinner's on me we've been dating for two
years I would just be like where is this person getting all these gummy Krabby
Patties from I'm not gonna lie I've had some gummy Krabby Patties before but
it's like why do you have it on demand supply of all of these gummy Krabby
Patties also I'm kind of wondering is Richard still around in like the friend
group of Opie's boyfriend apparently Opie's boyfriend said that Richard acted
like that all stunned because he had never had a hot girl put him in his
place like that and probably that combined with everybody bursting out
laughing at him I don't know maybe it reset some of his internal software I
just I can't imagine Richard wants to hang out much more considering that
their friend got with OP after that just
imagine knowing one of your best friends is with somebody you are super
embarrassed to be around just a little awkward but with that being said that's
all the time we have for today now if you want to hear another awesome
malicious compliance story click on that left video or if you missed my latest
video check out the one on the right that said I'll see you all next time

comes across a boy his own age who is sitting alone despite their similar age
Bruno notices a stark contrast between the boy's appearance and their living
condition Bruno initiates a conversation with the boy introducing himself and
learning that his name is shmuel schmuel expresses his hunk and asks Bruno if he
has any food despite having nothing in his pockets Bruno silently decides to
bring him something next time Bruno assumes shmuel is a part of a game due
to the numbers on his clothes but shmuel
clarifies that it has nothing to do with any games soon after a guard starts
whistling and schmuel returns to the camp while Bruno goes back home to
resume his reading lessons with his tutor Bruno brought a chocolate bar to
the camp the following day but unfortunately schmuel did not appear
despite this Bruno continued to visit shmuel regularly and brought him food
during one of their conversations Bruno discovered that shmuel and his parents
were Jews who were taken to the camp he also asked shmuel about the smoke he had
seen earlier but shmuel replied that he did not know anything about it and that
he was forbidden to go near it Bruno makes his way back home promising to
meet with shmuel soon later he confronts his father Ralph about the smoke Ralph
dismisses Bruno's concerns explaining that the smoke is merely from burning
garbage in the chimney in another scene Elsa enters gretel's room and becomes
suspicious of the Tudor's teachings upon noticing Nazi propaganda posters
displayed on the wall the tutor is shown to be instructing the children on the
evilness of Jews and their responsibility for the country's
downfall after the class Bruno thinks about schmuel and disagrees with the
teacher's statement that all Jews are evil he decides to visit shmuel packing
some food for him Bruno manages to sneak
out of his house and arrives at the camp where he gives the food to schmuel as
shmuel eats Bruno throws his football into the camp hoping to play with him
however schmuel throws it back and hides behind the pillars warning Bruno that
it's dangerous for them to be seen together Elsa becomes increasingly
disturbed by the unpleasant odor emanating from the chimneys when she
questions Lieutenant kotler about it he reveals that the smoke is the result of
The Cremation of Jewish corpses this Revelation shocks Elsa and she rushes to
confront Ralph about his involvement Ralph admits that he has been promoted
to oversee the execution of Jews but Elsa is a Paul called at what she has
learned about her husband's role in the Nazi regime during dinner Pavel
accidentally spills wine while serving Cutler and the latter responds by
brutally beating Pavel this incident leaves Bruno upset and questioning his
father's character some time later Bruno discovers schmuel cleaning wine glasses
in one of the rooms and offers him some food Bruno is happy to see shmuel and
spend some time talking to him schmuel accepts the food and begins to eat but
he is interrupted by collar who accuses him of stealing Cutler yells at schmuel
who defends himself by explaining that the food was given to him by Bruno his
friend kotler turns to Bruno and interrogates him fearful of the
consequences Bruno denies knowing shmuel and claims to have just met him kotler
believes shmuel to be a thief and demands to see him after work Bruno
feeling remorseful for endangering shmuel's safety hurries to the camp to
locate him but fails to find him upon arriving home he is surprised to see
some soldiers visiting his father Ralph greets them and they proceed to watch a
documentary about life in the concentration camp in a separate room
Bruno watches the film clandestinely and observes that the children are playing
and the families are enjoying themselves inside the camp the documentary film
shown to the army men is a fabricated one that aims to conceal the naza's
brutal act unfortunately Bruno being too young to comprehend this situation
Embraces his father after the movie regarding him as a noble person later on
Bruno goes to the camp to reunite with shmuel but he observes that schmuel has
an injury in his right eye presumably due to the punishment inflicted on him
by Cutler after realizing his mistake Bruno expresses his remorse to schmuel
and the two reconcile schmuel forgives him and the two boys shake hands
meanwhile Elsa is deeply disturbed by the cruel treatment of the Jews and is
worried about the future of her children
living near the Concentration Camp Ralph sees the impact of the camp on his
family and decides to send them back to Berlin Bruno is reluctant to leave but
Ralph informs him that they will be leaving with his mother in a few days
Bruno becomes upset after learning about
his family's plan to to return to Berlin he visits schmuel to share the news and
say goodbye but shmuel is too preoccupied with The Disappearance of
his father to respond feeling remorseful for his previous actions Bruno decides
to help schmuel find his father before leaving for Berlin he realizes that they
could dig a hole in the fence with a stick to get past the wires he asked
shmuel to get him a striped outfit to blend in with the other prisoners the
following day Bruno prepared a sandwich for shmuel and snuck out of the house
pretending to play on the swing one last time before leaving for Berlin Elsa
allowed him to play outside hoping that it would help him forget about the
distressing events of the past few days Bruno then armed himself with a shovel
and headed towards the camp to help shmuel while shmuel hands Bruno a pair
of pajamas Bruno changes into them and starts digging under the fence with a
shovel after some time he crawls inside and they run towards the camp to look
for shmuel's father meanwhile Elsa becomes worried when she cannot find
Bruno near the swing and starts searching for him she looks all over the
house but is unable to locate him eventually she notices the backyard door
open and hurries inside to search for Bruno Elsa discovers that Bruno has
escaped through the shed window when she finds a sandwich lying underneath the
opening a surge operation is promptly initiated and army officers with sniffer
dogs scour the forest for Bruno meanwhile Bruno and shmuel sneak into a
HUD in search of shmuel's Father suddenly a troop of soldiers arrives and
orders all the occupants to exit the Hut the two boys find themselves caught in
the middle of the group of men and they are forced to follow them Bruno is
wearing the same striped uniform as the other prisoners making it difficult to
distinguish him as a non-jew the group of inmates is then herded into a
changing room and ordered to undress for a shower meanwhile Ralph discovers
Bruno's abandoned clothes just outside the fence and realizes his son has
entered the camp he quickly enters the camp and orders his officers to begin
searching for Bruno Elsa picks up Bruno's clothes and sobs uncontrollably
calling out his name meanwhile inside the gas chamber Bruno and schmuel are
clueless about what is happening until Nazi Soldier pours the lethalgason
although other Jews Panic Bruno and schmuel cling to each other's hands as
they failed to comprehend the situation Ralph who cannot locate Bruno eventually
realizes that a mass execution is underway and cries out his son's name
Elsa and Gretel hear Ralph's Cries From the fence and Elsa falls to the ground
weeping in anguish the gas chamber Falls silent indicating the death of all
inmates including Bruno and shmuel the image of two innocent boys holding hands
in a gas chain is a heartbreaking representation of the atrocities
committed during the Holocaust the realization that Bruno's curiosity and
desire to help his friend led to his tragic death and the devastating impact
it has on his family is a poignant reminder of the devastating effects of
war and hatred it is a powerful and emotional ending that leaves a lasting
impression on the viewer | give me a good story on TheinnocentboythoughthewasplayinguntilherealizedhewasinaNazigaschamberorig |

hello ladies and gentlemen my name is Reid and welcome to story time today we
are gonna be reading some I don't work here ladies stories so put those feet up
sit back relax and enjoy I honestly didn't think I'd ever get a
chance to post in this subreddit but this just happened two days ago English
is not my first language nor the language used in these following
conversations I'll try my best to translate I am on mobile let's get
started me crazy lady and security guard a bit of backstory I work as I have
mentioned in other stories in a Japanese restaurant here in Switzerland our
uniform is completely black so black trousers black shoes a black shirt with
green riding on the back a black short apron and a green nametag it was late
when we realized that we were missing something essential for the next day
that we need to buy today since the shops will be closing the next day
Sunday the shop right next to us was already closed so we decided that I'll
quickly go to the store and like 5 minutes walking distance away since we
were getting more and more packed by the minute I decided to make a run for it
and not put on my jacket so it was me in my uniform I entered the mention store
and head straight for the aisle that I needed to grab something from on my way
there I pass a guy who then asked me where the ice cream is I completely
stressed point to my nametag which has the restaurant logo printed on and say I
don't work here sorry and continue walking I laughed at this
encounter because it was very obvious that I had worked there but I didn't
think much of it I turn around the corner and already see the aisle I need
to head into when I fill a sharp tap on my shoulder I turn around and him faced
with a middle-aged lady with bleached hair excuse me crazy lady starts where
is bran bread I grinned this is hilarious to people not being able to
see the obvious difference between my black and slightly green uniform and the
light blue with the orange uniform of the store me sorry I don't work here
crazy lady yes you do you're wearing a uniform well yes but not the story
uniform see a uniform also I saw you talking to another customer before so
where's bran bread me obviously confused excuse me I don't
work here but I saw a store worker a few aisles back maybe I don't want to be
served by someone else I want to be served by you now don't be lazy and do
your job look I don't work here leave me be at
this point I just walk off and grab needed item and head for the
self-checkout I'm standing in line next to a security guard when I again fill a
tapping on my shoulder it's crazy lady again young lady that was very rude to
just walk off I want to speak with your supervisor I don't work here I work at
restaurant name leave me be I need to get back to work
crazy lady then starts to rant about how I am making up excuses but doesn't get
far security guard interrupts her security guard - crazy lady while
pointing at me excuse me but she obviously does not work here yes she
does don't try to cover for her she's wearing a uniform I am wearing a uniform
but not store a uniform because I don't work here madam she's wearing a black
uniform the story uniform is blue and orange let me get you an actual store
worker to help you but you need to stop harassing this young lady
crazy lady Huff's but then decides to take the security guards offer it was
finally able to pay and rush back to my actual work and this is where the story
ends because I didn't have time to lurk around sorry it's not a great and
fantastical ending like usual on the subreddit but it for sure is still
confusing me because it was so obvious I didn't cricket the supermarket anyways
thanks for reading if you wear a uniform out anywhere you immediately work at
that place that's just how it is crazy lady knows what she's talking
about right I don't work here why not do this again now I am pretty much a
fixture in the local grocery store almost every day I am in there because I
like to cook but I don't always remember to get all the ingredients and have to
go back I am in the grocery store so much I know most of the staff by name a
couple of my neighbors even work there but anyway I was walking around the
aisles picking up beef broth vegetables and whatnot when I saw a lady wandering
that shamelessly so I thought I would be considerate and ask her if I could help
her the elderly lady was looking for baking goods I know the store like the
back of my hand and know where that is as we walked to the baking aisle we
struck up a conversation the sweet elderly lady asked me if I would help
her out with her shopping because she had never been in the store before I
said sure why not I wasn't in a big hurry I mean I live in
the apartments right behind the store I mean actually behind the store I can
stand on my patio take off the shoe and actually hit the back of it we wound up
doing all of her shopping together she began to tell me about her kids and
grandkids and she was soon to be a great-grandmother she is a very pleasant
woman I actually learned a few things she told me that she had seen in her
lifetime we walked the aisles taking the items on her list and throwing them in
the shopping cart and she would check the items off finally about half an hour
later we proceeded to checkout I told her I would be right back because I
almost forgot what I had gone there for as I returned to the register the
elderly lady was telling the manager what a nice employee I was and didn't
want me to get in trouble for taking up my time Dean the manager smiled and told
her that I don't work there the elderly lady looked at me puzzled and apologized
to me for taking up so much of my personal time I told her I was in no
rush and then I live in the apartments nearby it turns out she just moved
several apartments away across the apartment complex we walked home to our
apartments she smiled and asked me why I
helped her if I didn't work there I told her that my parents raised me to help
others without reward I gave her the groceries I told her if she needed help
or wanted to go shopping to let me know the elderly woman said she did her
shopping every Monday and if I wouldn't mind going and being company I told her
it was very kind of her to try to keep me from getting fired even though I
didn't work there so now I have a shopping buddy and someone to talk with
and share coupons with any of this doesn't have the screaming entitled
Karen or brat but I just wanted to share this I don't work here story so thanks
for reading have a great day well if opie ever does meet a true Karen
at the store they can just go back to their apartment and they're gonna have
the van each point from up on the patio and they
can just Pelt shoes Adam or whatever else they have laying around I actually
do work in a restaurant just not this one every Friday myself and my husband
and kiddos seven and four year old boys go out to eat at our local Perkins after
my 9:00 to 8:00 shift at my restaurant I'm a GM so I work plenty and this is
really the first chance my kids have to see and talk to mommy since Tuesday at
bedtime it has been a tradition for us for more than eight years the servers
and managers at the location have been almost auntie's - my boys I always come
in immediately after work so I'm in my uniform black pants black polo with
embroidered logo hair tied back etc restaurant work appropriate after all I
have just finished an 11 hour shift one of my guilty pleasures is the claw
machine at this Perkins I'm really lucky on it I have over 80 toys out of this
thing from the last four years my boys love me playing it their stuffed animal
collections are huge this week after we receded I immediately headed to the
restroom and him to play the claw as I was walking to the front of the
restaurant a couple was waiting to be seated I paused in my walk to greet one
of the servers by name and confirm my drink order as my usual hot tea and then
continued to the front being still in uniform and technically still a
representative of my company I did smile politely at the couple and say hi I
walked past them and use the restroom when I came out I saw the couple still
standing at the host and I didn't stop to play the claw machine from the host
and I hear oh come on I looked up to find the gentleman giving me nothing
nicest look I smiled at him and said I'm sorry I don't actually work at this
restaurant the manager was headed to the
back a minute ago and should be out soon
fortunately the lady then blurted out oh my god that's not the right logo we all
had a little chuckle over how common and occurrence this could be I then want a
pink unicorn cat with a rainbow tail and headed back to my table just as the
server ran up to seat those poor people happy ending and they really weren't
that rude I think it's rare on the subreddit for the offender's of I don't
work here lady to actually fill bad about their mistake maybe humanity
is moving in the right direction no strange angry man you cannot have my
room key so this literally just happened I'm on mobile and hyped up since this
just happened so apologies for formatting typos and grammar I am in
Vegas for the weekend with friends I have work on Monday so I'm flying out
tonight and my friends are staying one more night we were a big group so booked
a 3br suite it was 4:00 p.m. and I went back to my room to pack up and head to
the airport for my 7:00 p.m. flight when
I get back to my room there is a 40 year
old dude banging loudly on the room next to mine ad equals jerk dude me equals o
P me Hey Dude what's up are you okay I lost my room key and my buddy is passed
out that sucks but I'm sure the front desk and give you another key I already
tried that but they wouldn't give me a key because my name isn't on the room
ouch that sucks good luck i unlock and enter my room to go start packing about
30 seconds later there is now someone pounding on my door I'm trying to pack
but I go answer it what a shocker it's ad hey dude what's up I know you're busy
but could you let me into your room it's
right next door ah confused face my room let me in my room me Abbott ASEAN
porfavor what even more confused face habla English of course I speak English
I was just talking to you in the hallway
two minutes ago so why won't you help me you have to clean my room next so why
don't you let me in now instead of giving me a hard time at this moment I
now realize that he thinks I'm housekeeping oh sorry dude I can't help
you I don't work here I'm just another guest start shutting the door angry dude
sticks his foot in the door so I can close it oh okay well can I try your key
then nope sorry I don't have a master key so my room key won't work on your
door give me your key no I'm not giving my room key to a strange man and it
won't work on your room anyways all it will do is let you into my room and I
I want you in my room you never know it will work I'm desperate gonna try it why
can't you just help me out no you're a stranger I'm not giving you my room key
can I at least try it you never know it's not going to work and I'm
definitely not going to give you my key but if you take your foot out of my door
I'll go find my key and I can try it on your room I'll admit I really just
wanted the dude to move his foot so I closed my door and I had no intention of
getting my room key to try it on his door as I know it's not going to work
anyways and this dude is being a total jerk so I have no desire to help him so
I close the door and go back to packing after about two minutes the dude starts
pounding on my door again I ignore it and continue packing but the guy just
won't stop after about 10 minutes I just want to shut this guy up and get him to
stop pounding on my door so against my better judgment I go find my key and
figure I'll swipe it on his lock you can see it won't work and he'll leave me
alone dude this really isn't going to work but I'll try Mikey just please
promise you're going to stop pounding on my door took you long enough what were
you doing in there me ignores this question goes up to the door and swipes
the key what a surprise the lock blinks red and the key doesn't work see my key
doesn't work on your room now please leave me alone I turn to go back into my
room try it again it's not going to work
rooms are individually keyed at hotels I dart around him slip my key in my door
and manage to close the door before he can follow me angry dude now goes back
to slamming his fists on my door and is now yelling you dumb freaking expletive
let me in let me in open the doors you win it freaking open this door right now
at this point I'm terrified I call security from the room phone and they
promise to send someone up I finished packing while the banging and screaming
continues luckily the 3br Suites are two stories so after I finished packing I
went downstairs in the room and I was able to escape from the downstairs
entrance without angry dude seeing me I'm now in a car headed to the airport
and my friends are headed back to the room hopefully security has gotten rid
of this dude by now sorry I don't have a better resolution
or any details for you all but I'll update this if I hear anything from my
friends holy cow that was a scary situation like that could have went
really wrong really fast and I'm glad Opie got out of there unharmed

:14.560 --> :19.440
My child had an orthodontist appointment at 9
am. When we were walking in a father and son
:19.440 --> :24.640 were walking ahead of us into the office, so
they checked in before us. We checked in (we
:24.640 --> :29.680
were a few minutes before our appointment time).
A few minutes later my child was called back and
:29.680 --> :34.880
this father got angry. How dare they let someone
who came in after them go back first?!?!?!?!?!
:34.880 --> :38.880 The office staff member shut him down by
pointing out that their appointment was for
:38.880 --> :45.600
9:15 with Cassie and our appointment was at 9
with Bonnie. That did not calm him down at all. :45.600 --> :49.760
He spent the rest of the time I was there
muttering and talking to someone on their phone
:49.760 --> :53.440 about how awful this office is, and
they don’t know what they are doing. :53.440 --> :57.840
It was funny, but I felt bad for the kid and
for the staff who had to deal with this guy.
:27.520 --> :30.880 This happened 8 years ago when I
was pregnant with my oldest child. :30.880 --> :35.360
The entitled parents in this story are mine.
At the time they were also my employers. :35.360 --> :39.760
My husband accepted his dream internship in
another state between his junior and senior
:39.760 --> :44.800
years of college, and didn't want to leave me
alone with a complicated rainbow pregnancy.
:44.800 --> :49.600
We had previously miscarried while temporarily
staying with my parents the summer before
:49.600 --> :53.840 (that's important later). I was about 5
months along when his internship started
:53.840 --> :58.960 and I had already had several ER trips and
major complications due to HG. That's the
:58.960 --> :04.480 kind of "morning sickness" that lasts all
day every day for the entire pregnancy,
:04.480 --> :10.960 as in, non-stop puking resulting in extreme
weight loss and severe dehydration. There
:10.960 --> :15.280 were times simply looking at a certain
food or shifting my position in my seat
:15.280 --> :21.760 caused me to throw up uncontrollably. If you
know, you know. It sucks. For various reasons,
:21.760 --> :26.480
me going with my husband wasn't an option, but
I couldn't be left alone with my condition.
:26.480 --> :31.840
After exploring several options, the only viable
one was for me to move in with my parents during
:31.840 --> :37.600
the summer until he finished the internship, which
was also when my due date was. Then we would both
:37.600 --> :42.320 move back to where the University was (about
5 hours from my parents) in order for him to
:42.320 --> :47.760
finish his final year. Looking back, I still don't
know why we ever thought it would be a good idea. :47.760 --> :51.920
At the time I would have described my
parents as overbearing and self-centered,
:51.920 --> :58.000 but 8 years later I can confidently say they
are toxic narcs with undiagnosed personality
:58.000 --> :03.040
disorders. Living with them was a nightmare. But
it was only temporary, and I figured staying with
:03.040 --> :08.320
someone who could help me get to my appointments
or drive me to the ER was best for my baby. :08.320 --> :12.800
My parents owned a small construction company,
and I had previously worked on and off in the
:12.800 --> :17.840 front office doing administrative assistant
work for several years. Everything from running
:17.840 --> :24.240
payroll to filing reports with the state, picking
up/delivering plans and materials, paying bills,
:24.240 --> :29.920
sending bills, managing the schedules, keeping
the books balanced, and keeping the entire office
:29.920 --> :35.360
organized. All of these tasks were combined into
a single underpaid position that they could never
:35.360 --> :40.880
seem to keep filled (gee, I wonder why). It was
how I made money during the summers and between
:40.880 --> :46.240 semesters at college, but I hated it. I knew
how to do all these things because when I was 16
:46.240 --> :51.200
I helped my parents as they started the company
by themselves and my dad was the only laborer.
:51.200 --> :55.280 Whenever they were left short-handed the
manipulation and guilt would pull me back
:55.280 --> :01.760
to help them temporarily until they could "get
someone competent and loyal" to fill the position. :01.760 --> :06.240
When this story took place, the company had
been running for nearly 8 years and had about 12
:06.240 --> :12.240
employees, almost all of them laborers and somehow
related to us, because relatives are the easiest
:12.240 --> :17.840
to exploit in underpaid jobs, right ? And they
still only had one person doing all the "office
:17.840 --> :22.880
work". If they didn't have an employee filling
that position, it would fall to my mom, and she
:22.880 --> :28.320
never wanted to do any of this in the first place
(the company was my dad's idea) so they wanted to
:28.320 --> :33.920
keep her out of the office at much as possible.
I could probably fill an entire sub-reddit with
:33.920 --> :39.040 stories of how they exploited and stole from
family members and employees in this company. :39.040 --> :43.200
The timing of when I moved in with my parents
happened to coincide with when their most
:43.200 --> :48.800
recent "assistant" quit, and also when I had just
found a medication that made my constant nausea
:48.800 --> :53.200 manageable. They needed someone to fill the
position and I offered to help out for a couple
:53.200 --> :57.280 of months so that they could find the right
person and actually spend more than a couple
:57.280 --> :02.720
of days training them before expecting them to
be able to handle everything properly. The idea
:02.720 --> :07.360
was that by the time I had my baby at the end of
the summer, the permanent replacement would be
:07.360 --> :12.080 fully trained and up to speed on everything.
Also, I could make a little bonus money to
:12.080 --> :17.440
help cover costs of having my first baby, so it
seemed like a win-win, even if I hated the job. :17.440 --> :22.320
To make a long story short, my parents
procrastinated finding a permanent employee
:22.320 --> :28.560
to fill the position, making it impossible for
me to take a step back from work as my pregnancy
:28.560 --> :35.200
progressed. Additionally, at home they treated
me like a teenager (I was 24) and gave me a chore
:35.200 --> :40.400
list and certain nights of the week I was expected
to prepare dinner. They weren't charging me rent,
:40.400 --> :45.520 so I figured I shouldn't complain. They also
snapped at me for the amount of food I ate
:45.520 --> :51.680
(I helped buy groceries...also, I was PREGNANT
and trying to recover from spending the last 5
:51.680 --> :57.280
months of not being able to keep food down). The
worst was that they felt entitled to give me all
:57.280 --> :04.560
the unsolicited parenting and pregnancy advice,
including anti-vaxx and psuedo-science arguments,
:04.560 --> :10.640
and my dad even demanded that I let him touch my
stomach to feel the baby move. I was over-stressed
:10.640 --> :15.920 with being surrounded by my toxic parents at
both work and at home on top of trying to keep
:15.920 --> :21.600
my baby healthy and missing my husband. I become
horribly depressed and started having really bad
:21.600 --> :28.400
PTSD from my miscarriage that had happened almost
exactly a year prior in the exact same place. :28.400 --> :33.200
Within 4 weeks of moving in with them, I
started having preterm labor problems and
:33.200 --> :38.160 was in a considerable amount of pain. I was
instructed by my doctor to be on work rest
:38.160 --> :43.200
and had to get progesterone shots regularly, but
because my parents didn't have anyone else to run
:43.200 --> :48.880
the office yet, they bullied me into continuing
my work, but just doing it remotely from home.
:48.880 --> :53.680
They made it clear that they still expected me
to pull my weight at home with chores and meals,
:53.680 --> :58.880
and that once my doctor cleared me to go back
to work that I was needed back in the office. I
:58.880 --> :03.600
felt trapped because I had no where else to go,
and the guilt was overwhelming because whenever
:03.600 --> :08.240 they were home they constantly talked about
all the problems happening at work because I
:08.240 --> :13.680
wasn't there to run the office. My health problems
continued, and after two more weeks they decided
:13.680 --> :19.440
they had better actually advertise the position
and start looking for a permanent replacement.
:19.440 --> :24.560
All of this was leading up to a 10 day vacation
to New York they had been planning for themselves.
:24.560 --> :30.080
The week before they left for their vacation,
my doctor told me I HAD to be on bed rest,
:30.080 --> :34.480
and if my family wouldn't respect that, I would
need to find a new place to live (he has been
:34.480 --> :38.320 my doctor for years and understands
all the details of the situation). :38.320 --> :42.800
So after my appointment I called my Dad to
let him know that I was putting my foot down
:42.800 --> :49.600 and refusing to work at all anymore at the
office or at home, as per my doctor's orders.
:49.600 --> :54.400
But when he answered the phone he says "OP, guess
what? We went through all the applications from
:54.400 --> :59.360
last week and found one we like! We interviewed
her and she'll be starting on Friday. So we need
:59.360 --> :03.760
you to prepare some instructional documents for
her to reference for once you have the baby,
:03.760 --> :06.960 and we need you to come in and train her
during the next week while we are gone.
:06.960 --> :10.160 When we get back from our
vacation, you can be done working!" :10.160 --> :14.240
He said all this like I should be excited
that they didn't even post the position
:14.240 --> :18.960 until 6 weeks after I started working, and
that they were just now getting around to
:18.960 --> :23.280 hiring someone. Like I should be glad
I was finally getting to stop working :23.280 --> :26.480
almost a month after my doctor told me to stop. :26.480 --> :30.480
I took a deep breath and explained that I
couldn't work anymore and that I couldn't
:30.480 --> :35.760
come in and train her, that I was sorry, but I
couldn't help them anymore. He got really agitated
:35.760 --> :41.120
and started telling me I was putting them in an
impossible situation because they need to go on
:41.120 --> :46.480
their vacation and couldn't train the replacement,
and he didn't understand why I couldn't just push
:46.480 --> :51.520 through the next week until they got back.
I suggested that when she came in on Friday,
:51.520 --> :55.120 they train her themselves on the most
basic things that needed to be done, :55.680 --> :01.040
still catch their flight the next day as planned,
and just put any tasks that needed absolute
:01.040 --> :06.800
accuracy on hold until they returned. He answered
that they couldn't possibly do any training on
:06.800 --> :12.320
Friday because "We need to pack for our vacation!
We've been planning this trip for months,
:12.320 --> :18.240
and if we have to train her we won't be ready for
it!". Basically, I needed to do go in and do it. :18.240 --> :23.680
I'm frustrated at this point. "I've been ordered
to be on bed rest!" To which he replies "Well what
:23.680 --> :28.720 does that mean?" So I say "That I need
to be in bed!" And because he's such an
:28.720 --> :34.160 understanding and caring father, he replies
"Okay, we can make that work. I'll put a cot
:34.160 --> :38.000 in the office and you can lay down on it
while you explain things and train her!" :38.000 --> :42.960
And that was the last straw. I told him I would
be spending the night at my sister in laws house
:42.960 --> :47.120 and hung up the phone. She had driven me to
the doctors office and was still with me,
:47.120 --> :51.760 and when I told her what my dad said,
she immediately offered to take me in :51.760 --> :56.640
and let me live with her until my husband finished
his internship, knowing full well that it meant I
:56.640 --> :01.200
would be having the baby while staying with her
and that she and her family would be helping me
:01.200 --> :06.240
care for a newborn. She's an angel, and I don't
know how I would have survived this without her. :06.240 --> :11.600
My husband got permission to work remotely for the
next week and drove back home that night and moved
:11.600 --> :17.520
me into my sister's house. She and her family
cared for me and actually let me be on bed rest.
:17.520 --> :22.400
They set up a room for me and make everything
as accommodating as possible, and never asked
:22.400 --> :29.280
for anything in return. I 100% believe the only
reason my baby was born at a healthy gestation age
:29.280 --> :35.200
is because of their care to bring my stress down
and keep me well fed. My parents were furious
:35.200 --> :40.000 and accused me of lying to them and stabbing
them in the back. They went on my social media
:40.000 --> :45.120 and left comments about how hateful I am to
those who have sacrificed the most for me,
:45.120 --> :50.800
and how horrible and selfish I am. On the day they
came home from their vacation (Yes, they still
:50.800 --> :56.080
went. No, I don't know how they made it work),
I was in the hospital with more complications
:56.080 --> :02.000
and trying really hard NOT to have my baby early.
The hospital is a couple minutes from the airport,
:02.000 --> :06.560 and my sister called my mom as soon as their
fight landed to just let her know we were there,
:06.560 --> :11.520 so that if something happened with me or the
baby, they couldn't claim I maliciously withheld
:11.520 --> :16.960
information as more reason to hate on me. But
apparently my mom thought this was an invitation
:16.960 --> :21.920 to care about me, and she immediately
shut it down. She says "well I'm sorry,
:21.920 --> :26.800
but we've been gone for the last 10 days with
an undertrained employee in the front office,
:26.800 --> :31.920
and there are things I need to take care of that
can't wait." And she hung up. When I actually did
:31.920 --> :37.280
have my baby a few weeks later they didn't come
to the hospital because "we have too much work
:37.280 --> :42.720
at the office". Ya know, priorities. Needless
to say, I've since cut them out of my life.
:15.680 --> :21.200 So i'm a Polish student in Warsaw and
subway/metro(however you call it in english)
:21.200 --> :25.775
now is free for Ukrainians as many other things
which is good imo. My English isn't the best
:25.775 --> :25.916 and i often forgot the words but i hope it
will be readable :). But back to the story. :25.916 --> :26.000
EM- Grażyna aka Karen TC - ticket checker at train :26.000 --> :31.360
There were already many cases of people
saying they are ukrainian to get a free ride
:31.360 --> :35.120 and today i saw this mother with
her around 10 years old kid. :35.120 --> :39.680
They both entered through the gate for Ukrainians
(the guy checking them wasn't there so he was
:39.680 --> :45.600
probably on a break) when they went down to the
station i eardropped them a bit. EM kneeled to
:45.600 --> :52.000
her son, took a phone and played some Ukrainian
Google translator noises Then said in polish ofc
:52.720 --> :57.840
"Remember you need to repeat it if someome ask you
from were you are, i will do the rest" Then when
:57.840 --> :04.320
the train arrived and we both went same way to the
centre there was a ticket control. EM acted chill
:04.320 --> :10.080
at first but then the ticket control dude asked
other passengers for ukrainian proof (probably
:10.080 --> :17.120
id or special ticket) EM started to panic a bit
and wanted to leave the train on next station
:17.120 --> :21.600 but then other ticket control dude
asked her and her son for tickets. :21.600 --> :26.640
Poor kid started talking random words, he
probably didn't remembered what he had to say.
:26.640 --> :32.160 And EM tried to say in forced broken
polish that she don't understand. :32.160 --> :37.680
The ticket checker told them to leave the train.
(It was my stop so i left it too and stayed to
:37.680 --> :42.960 see the situation) he asked them to show the
ukrainian tickets but ofc they didn't had one.
:43.840 --> :50.880
EM started to look in her bag whole shaking. TC
probably knew what she is doing and he said to
:50.880 --> :56.960
EM to stop looking for it and that she will get
fined for ride without ticket and it's better
:56.960 --> :03.600
for her to just stop acting. EM grabbed her kid
and started leaving fast but TC dude stopped
:03.600 --> :10.080
her and asked for her ID so he will fine her.
EM started her Karen screeching and said that
:10.080 --> :15.040
"it's not fair that this people can ride for free
while hard working Polish people have to pay"
:15.600 --> :20.880 I left the station because nothing more was
happening except regular procedures. As someone
:20.880 --> :26.800
who got fined recently for not having ticket(left
it at home) she probably had to pay around 150pln. | give me a good story on rEntitledParentsENTITLEDMOTHERDEMANDEDAFREETICKETRedditStories |

first story op caught her boyfriend of four years cheating with her sill and
making adultery videos so op's brother took his Revenge by showing her their
adultery on TV and exposed them to the whole family I f23 and my boyfriend M26
have been together for about 4 years last year my brother got married my
boyfriend was my plus one when we went there and we all got along well however
about 3 months ago I noticed some suspicious behavior my boyfriend started
being more busy than usual at first I didn't assume anything but one of my
co-workers who is also really close to my sister-in-law said that she saw her
at a bar with my boyfriend they weren't doing anything except drinking so I
didn't really assume much I asked him about it the next day and he was pretty
nonchalant since he didn't get defensive I assumed that meant there was nothing
more to it and he had nothing to hide however last night when I was with my
boyfriend he received a text I'm not a nosy person so I wasn't purposely trying
to Snoop he was in the bathroom showering and I just looked at his phone
screen to see who it was and I saw my sister-in-law's name I know I shouldn't
have but I was a bit suspicious so I ended up checking his messages
apparently they've been having conversations for about 4 months it's
nothing explicit but it's more than just
small talk and based on the conversation they've had a few meetups at the bar I
haven't confronted him yet I want to but I'm worried that it will make things
really awkward it's just that both my relationship and my brother's
relationship are now on the the line to me this behavior is very unusual because
why would my boyfriend be so close to my sister-in-law I'm really heartbroken
because I love my boyfriend and my brother loves his wife I don't know how
I should proceed do I confront him do I just leave it alone please help I don't
want to make things worse by jumping to conclusions update on the situation here
edit thank you all so much for the advice so far I haven't seen all the
responses yet but I will get to them eventually as of now I've already texted
my brother I gave him a limited summary and told him I'd rather talk about it in
person he gets off work soon and his wife works from home he's going to try
to see if there's any information he can collect before he and I talk about this
today I will update when I know more update 6 hours later a lot of people
wanted to be updated so I decided to make a new post so the notification
would go through first off thank you so much everyone for giving Insight I did
go through and read a lot of the new responses I just don't have the energy
to respond to everything my brother got home from work his wife works at home
and he was able to grab her phone while she was in a meeting her texts were the
same that I saw on my boyfriend's phone but her Snapchat revealed a bit more
apparently they've been sending explicit content to each other videos and
pictures it gets worse much worse my sister-in-law has an adultery Hub
account where she makes private NSFW which my brother found through her
search history he had no idea I guess her income was going to her separate
bank account they have two separate and one joint that's not even a shocker it's
that one video posted two weeks ago that shows her doing it with a guy they are
wearing masks so it's Anonymous but I recognize who it is because you know
I've slept with my boyfriend before this was during her business trip and one of
the nights my boyfriend was busy so yeah
it's official they've done it my brother told my sister-in-law he had to run an
errand but he's actually meeting with me at the moment I knew the text messages
probably hinted at something going on but I had no idea it would go this far
I'm honestly in shock not only did they do it together but it was posted on a
website for other people to see neither of our partners knows that we do yet my
brother is planning on talking to his wife tonight and wants to divorce I will
be breaking up with my boyfriend as well tonight of course before any final
decision is made both of us will make sure to talk this out with our partners
separately but given all of what we've seen it's most likely both of our
relationships are over for good I know people look down on snooping on people's
phones but after all the advice given and the Reasonable Suspicion I really
don't even care anymore I'm glad that we found out and I have no shame in my
suspicions anymore thank you all again for the support and for the advice given
if it weren't for your Insight and those who recommended this plan we probably
would have never known or at least not know to what extent this was going on so
thank you final update next day hello everyone sorry for the delay it's been a
really crazy time I arrived back home last night and my boyfriend was still
out he was closer to the store he works at that night since it's my house and
not his I took all his stuff and left it out on the curb I already bought new
locks and will be installing them as soon as possible I also made sure to
have a friend with me she came over last night once I got back once he arrived
home he was really confused he called like five or six times when I didn't
open the door and I finally answered and said I know what you did and you know
what you did get the fck off my property he didn't leave he tried to find my two
spare keys which I thankfully moved and he then yelled a variety of lovely
things including how he's the best thing
I've ever had and I can't afford to lose him insert I roll he started getting
hysterical kicking at the door and crying about how he had nowhere to go he
has no family here and most of his friends are married with kids my friend
said to call the cops but I was hesitant not wanting to escalate the situation
until he bashed my car's door in with one of his golf clubs one of his things
I threw out on the curb so I called the cops and they arrested him for property
damage and trespassing I haven't been contacted on the extent of the charges
since that's under processing but if it's under $1,000 I believe it's a
misdemeanor up to 6 months in jail and he also resisted arrest which can be up
to another 6 months plus a fine in my state Nevada and there might be more f
depending on the damage situation Etc that's my story right now I'm just
waiting to hear back so I can get my car paid for I didn't even recognize this
dude I've never seen him this way but it makes me thankful all this happened
because now I know his true colors I've known him for 4 years but I never really
knew him at all in Nevada you cannot throw out a spouse even if it's solely
your name on the deed so sadly my brother cannot kick out my sister-in-law
yet but my brother does have a prenuptial property agreement regarding
home so that will be distributed to him once this is taken care of as well as
his bank account and other assets he has
a print up for he didn't want to wait to tell her and I honestly don't blame him
he didn't tell her last night though he wanted to call a lawyer first so he just
slept on the couch much to her confusion he told her this morning after he
contacted a reputable lawyer he did this
by asking if she saw the news last night and that it was unbelievable then
proceeded to play that SX video on his TV he also sent that video to our entire
family group chat which consists of over 20 people while I wasn't there to watch
her reaction my brother told me she ended up throwing a tantrum and probably
wouldn't be willing to file a joint petition so yeah she told him it was a
drunken mistake and that he my brother wasn't serious about this but my brother
can file for a default divorce if she refuses to sign the divorce papers which
he made sure to tell her I did get to see the GC reactions and let's just say
there were a lot of choice words said and her parents are absolutely horrified
they really like my brother so far no one is taking her side and they fully
support my brother's decision so yeah sorry this is so convoluted and long but
it's hard to organize my thoughts summary my boyfriend got arrested and
will be out of my life for good I hope and my brother is in the process of
divorce with both sides of the family supporting him and his assets protected
Second Story delusional op kicked out his girlfriend of 4 years because she
asked for more time after he proposed believing his sisters bullshed girls cat
I was in a relationship with my girlfriend for 4 years we really loved
each other my family loved her and her family loved me we had discussions about
marriage we made plans for the future and we decided how many kids we wanted
my girlfriend was always extremely excited about it over the last few
months I was giving her consistent hints that I was going to propose to her and
last weekend I booked a nice resort where I would plan to propose to her at
a private place well when I did propose to her she somehow seemed shocked about
it and asked if she could have a few more months that just completely stunned
me and was one of the most heartbreaking moments of my life my girlfriend kept
apologizing saying she just needed to be
in the right mental space and that right then she wasn't she cried and promised
me that we were technically engaged she just needed a few more months to
officially accept the proposal I felt empty sad and embarrassed I felt
horrible when we returned to our apartment she was apologizing a lot and
there was also a lot of crying the whole situation for me was so heartbreaking
and embarrassing that I could not talk about it with any of my friends or even
my parents I could only consult my siblings my siblings had completely
contrasting opinions my brother told me maybe she got cold feet and a lot of
people get cold feet and to just give her time because she seemed like a
genuine person however my sister told me
what my girlfriend did was girl code for cheating and that my girlfriend was
probably ashamed about accepting my proposal given that she most likely was
having an affair my sister told me that my girlfriend would probably call off
the affair in the next couple of months after which she would be comfortable
accepting the proposal I had completely contrasting opinions but I sided with my
sister because my brother gets a bit naive at times the more I thought about
it the more what my sister said made logical sense and that just shattered my
heart even more so a couple of days ago after my girlfriend came home from work
I told her we were done and that she had
a couple of hours to pack up and leave I gave her no heads up about it
I gave no reasons she was shocked and talking a lot asking why but at this
point I just didn't trust her anymore she obviously cried but I was over it a
couple hours later her friend came to pick her up and I blocked her number so
I didn't get any more texts I am still suffering a lot and it will take a lot
of time to heal through this aah relevant comments us and CH could you
give examples of the hints you gave typically with marriage people have a
direct talk with each other explicitly stating that they want to be married and
propose and what each partner thinks it isn't a talk where you generally discuss
marriage and the future it's very explicitly I'm currently ready for
marriage and thinking about proposing to you soon what do you think did you have
this talk with her and again what hints did you give ofing J does your sister
not like this girl or something because that isn't a girl code I've ever heard
of before it does sound like maybe she is thinking twice about things and I can
see how that would be upsetting but you and your sister really jumped on that
conclusion and you made a huge decision over something you just think happened
that sounds like your emotions did your thinking for you and that is not usually
a good way to go I hesitate to say that you are the a but you are not thinking
clearly at the very least you I tap crypted however my sister told me what
my girlfriend did was girl code for cheating and that my girlfriend was
probably ashamed about accepting my proposal given that she most likely was
having an affair this is absolutely insane and I can't believe you just
bought it whole you ended a relationship over this WTF man update there is not
much of an update but I will answer some
questions as I've been receiving a flood of horrifying DMS this will also be my
final update I am still replaying my entire relationship over and over in my
head I am still replaying that day I loved her so much I put my heart and
soul into the relationship and I confided in her my childhood trauma
issues because I felt connected to her and thought we were soulmates we had
made plans for life after marriage which state did we ultimately want to settle
in we discussed finances how many kids we wanted and what life would be like 10
20 or 30 years from now we discussed so much we spent a lot of time discussing
engagement rings she even told me what kind of ring she wanted months leading
up to our resort vacation I gave her so many hints like saying this would be our
best vacation ever and that our fourth year anniversary would be extremely
special I had planned the entire vacation around our fourth year
anniversary and planned to propose to her on that day I started saving up
money because I wanted that whole vacation and especially that day to be
memorable even she seemed super excited about the trip and we were so excited
about how much fun we would have after I was rejected I just did not understand
what happened I was completely shattered
I thought I had set it up so beautifully the entire day was amazing and the
entire vacation leading up to it was amazing I thought she would be overjoyed
with the proposal especially after seeing the ring I had never felt so hurt
in my life she had never given indications that she did not want to
marry me and I just couldn't understand her explanation for why she rejected me
I just could not understand why she needed a few more months because all I
asked her was if she wanted to marry me I did not set a specific timeline on
when to marry I could barely speak to her anymore because it felt like my
heart had been ripped out it also hurt me that she was crying a lot and
apologizing even when we came back home I still loved her then but I was deeply
hurt after speaking with my sister I finally started to make make sense of it
even though I did not want to believe it the affair was the only possible reason
why she would not accept my proposal now
but accept it months later she sometimes used to work late after hours and I
never questioned it because I trusted her all the late night work hours all
those friend trips the truth was right in front of my eyes but I was blinded by
love how could she do this to me I shared my deepest feelings with her I
made myself vulnerable to her and she just completely crushed it what other
choice did I have but to kick her out she ripped my soul out and I still did
not hate her I had no feelings left for hate I was just too distraught how did
it matter to me whether she was homeless or not I really did not care what she
did with her life anymore I just did not want to be in the same room as her
anymore my sister is going to come over next weekend to spiritually cleanse out
all the bad energy in my house using Sage I haven't told anyone about her
affair because I don't want to tarnish her reputation her sister texted me a
couple of hours after I kicked her out and I told her that we had a massive
falling out and that we were officially done I told her to respect my privacy
and never contact me again my parents are also saddened by the entire thing
but they are respecting my privacy and not asking me too many questions I don't
know how I can ever trust anyone again I
am really thankful for my family support I don't know how I would have even
endured this nightmare without their support relevant comments you live slide
87002 so do you have actual proof of her cheating or not cre a scenario in your
head is not proof you and your amazing sister sound like massive walking red
flags heaven forbid she has a job that requires her to work late or overtime
right you are 100% the ah and so is your
sister hugel goodbye you didn't answer a single question she didn't cheat normal
people work late sometimes and have friends third story op wants to cut ties
with her entitled Mother after she invited her alcoholic cousin whom she
specially requested not to invite wiing her entire wedding my husband and I got
married on Halloween and I'm not okay with how our day went we didn't want
anything big just Clos friends and family at the courthouse dressed in
costumes there were supposed to be 12 adults and one child on our guest list
let's start off with the night before my husband got sick and it took him the
whole day to recover and be well the plan was to get my nails done have my
mom French braid my hair then go home help him feel better and pack when I got
to my parents house my mom informed me that my two aunts weren't coming and
that she had invited my cousin I didn't want him there first second she told me
that my dad was on the way to pick him and my sister up I love my cousin but
I'm not close with him and he's an alcoholic that everybody enables my
small reception was not dry and she promised me he wouldn't be a problem the
reception was at my parents house so she
was busy cleaning I still needed to comb my hair out and she wanted to surprise
me with decorations long story short we were running low on time as it was 9:00
p.m. and I needed to head home to sleep since our wedding was early in the
morning she doesn't start my hair until after she and my cousins start drinking
and smoking I'm already annoyed I make it home at midnight and still have to
check on my husband and pack I go to bed at 3:00 a.m. and have to be up at 5:00
a.m. but I woke up 30 minutes late I drive back to her house to get ready and
help her get ready when I get there everyone is sleeping because after they
put up the decorations they stayed up drinking and smoking already running
late and stressed because the veil I made myself wouldn't stay my cousin
starts rushing me my parents start fighting loudly and I'm already
exhausted we make it to the courthouse to get married and I got a handful of
pictures but everyone else is in like 30 pictures I got one picture that I liked
and only 10 were taken we get brunch and
only my friends are talking to me and my husband everyone else isn't even paying
attention to us my mom keeps saying I'm a mother-in-law today my friends had to
leave they let us know in advance so now it's just my family my cousin is super
drunk won't stop talking no one is listening to me and the only person who
keeps checking on me is my husband eventually I get overwhelmed and we
check into our hotel and take a nap 2 3 hours later we head back to the house to
give everyone a second chance but they are clearly more intoxicated and Loud
cuss words are flying my husband tries to call me down by telling me to start
playing our wedding playlist that we made ourselves the entire time my cousin
has been complaining about the music he wanted us to play more hardcore rap now
I wasn't opposed to song requests and even played some songs he request it but
for every song that wasn't his he complained asked me to turn it off or
asked why I would play this song our first dance was Can I Have This Dance
from HSM and he asked me to turn it off when we were ready to Cut the Cake no
one came and took pictures no one was even in the room with us because my
cousin was drunk and wrapping his hot mess bars my wedding day didn't feel
like my day I had no say in anything no one paid attention to us and I have one
picture this was supposed to be the happiest day of my life but here I am
I'm crying at 4:32 a.m. on Reddit no sleep while my husband sleeps peacefully
I couldn't tell him earlier because we had to get intoxicated just to deal with
them and he already doesn't like my dad so I didn't want him to say anything in
that situation update I posted here about how my parents and cousin ruined
my wedding and how I didn't know what to do so here's the update after posting
here I tried to get some sleep but couldn't and ended up waking my husband
he and I talked and he told me he felt the same way I cried all morning until
he made me lay down to finally sleep I maybe got 3 hours of sleep before waking
up in incredible pain and feeling nauseous we checked out of our hotel
early and went to the hospital I had the same sickness he had the day before our
wedding we went back to my parents house so I could get some real sleep before
making the drive home we did not not talk to my parents about it after
talking to our friends we decided that we would redo the pictures next
Wednesday and have a mini party to celebrate my husband told me to feel my
feelings but not to worry about them because he would fix them I trust that
he will what I hadn't mentioned in my previous post was that this was my first
wedding and we're having another one next year for everyone to come to which
is why it hurts so much to have my mom do that to me neither one of us is
particularly close with our families but to avoid drama we decided to have a
smaller intimate one this year and a bigger more extravagant one next year
after what happened with this wedding we
both made the decision that my mom would
never have the opportunity to do this to me again and she would have no say in
the next one we did eventually talk to my mom about her actions and it went
about as expected she made herself the victim and me the bad guy she used my
aunt's passing as an excuse to invite my cousin she also told me she asked if he
could come but didn't see that she gave me no way to say no she doesn't
understand how she ruined our day I'm sorry you feel like I ruined your day
was the apology I received eventually I gave up trying to get her to understand
how she was ruined and the fact that we weren't mad at her just made me
extremely hurt I did tell her that there
was no way for her to make this up to me and apparently that was the wrong thing
to say I gray rocked her until she got off the phone and cried into my
husband's chest until he made me laugh as for going to NC or LC with my parents
I was already LC with my dad for things in the past and I'm currently LC with my
mom but she doesn't get that she's called me 20 times today alone and I
haven't answered once I'm working on processing things that happened in
childhood but I can't get over the fact that they're my parents I know that with
everything that has happened not even just my wedding I should be with them
for some reason my heart won't let me Elie for now we appreciate the comments
you guys left and he really enjoyed reading that he's doing a good job I
really did pick a good one and even though our wedding day wasn't what we
wanted I did marry the love of my life he continues to prove that to me daily
and I've never been happier unless something of Greater significance
happens this will be the only update thank you again and I hope you all
enjoyed your Halloween relevant comments
fobab Buffet 1 210 I saw that first post
and commented I understand your pain and the hard place your mother always puts
you in it's a never win situation you might want to read the borderline mother
it's long and textbook like but it really helped me process my situation I
would do it on the audio book in increments it's a lot it really helped
me though and I think it might be helpful for you too I couldn't do n see
either because they know how to drill guilt into us like it's their effing

:16.410 --> :19.510 This was years ago, I am talking 2004-2005.
:19.510 --> :24.480 I am not complaining here, simply pointing
out an event I personally found funny. :24.480 --> :27.789
We had a new manager take over our grocery store that I worked at.
:27.789 --> :32.520 He wanted us to follow the policy book to
the letter and I mean to the letter. :32.520 --> :38.000
A tad bit unrealistic, but he was super polite
about it and said he was just trying to protect :38.000 --> :39.410
everyone's jobs. :39.410 --> :43.579
I thought this was nice of him but at the
same time, several of us tried to point out :43.579 --> :46.219
that some of the policies needed revision. :46.219 --> :51.329
One of the things in the policy book was we
were to card EVERYONE who wanted cigarettes :51.329 --> :52.329
or alcohol. :52.329 --> :57.760
It did not matter if it was extremely obvious
that they are of age, it said in the policy :57.760 --> :02.790
book to card everyone, including any people with the person paying.
:02.790 --> :06.930 If there were little kids, then this was of
course an exception, they can't possibly have :06.930 --> :07.930 ID.
:07.930 --> :10.880 So all the employees started complying with
this policy. :10.880 --> :14.770
There were grumbles by customers but we were just doing our job.
:14.770 --> :19.080 The customers seemed to understand but would
let the manager know how ridiculous they felt :19.080 --> :25.790
the policy was when it was extremely obvious
as to who was old enough to purchase tobacco :25.790 --> :28.590
and alcohol without needing to card. :28.590 --> :30.909
But policy was policy afterall. :30.909 --> :35.119
Well one day I was working and I had a woman
come into my line with a couple bottles of :35.119 --> :37.070
wine and who was with her? :37.070 --> :41.400
The store manager, off the clock, it was him and his wife.
:41.400 --> :47.009 Now let's remember store policy is to card
EVERYONE, no exceptions aside from little :47.009 --> :48.009 kids.
:48.009 --> :49.110 So what do I do? :49.110 --> :51.490
I ask for both of them to provide ID. :51.490 --> :55.140
My boss looks at me and says, "Isn't it obvious we are of age?
:55.140 --> :56.799 I am your boss as well.
:56.799 --> :58.490 Certainly you don't need to card us."
:58.490 --> :03.430 I smiled and kindly reminded him what the
store policy was and pointed out it was in :03.430 --> :09.040
the policy book that cashiers are required
to card everyone, no matter if they were obviously :09.040 --> :10.200
of age. :10.200 --> :15.220
I also reminded him how he told all employees
this was to be strictly enforced to protect :15.220 --> :16.400
our jobs. :16.400 --> :18.300 He just stares at me blankly.
:18.300 --> :22.280 It's like he can't believe I am following
exactly what he said to do. :22.280 --> :27.090
His wife had already handed me her ID and
looks at him and says, "Well, where is your :27.090 --> :28.090 ID?
:28.090 --> :30.489 If it's store policy, then it's store policy."
:30.489 --> :35.760 It wasn't long after that that he contacted
corporate to ask that the policy be revised. :35.760 --> :40.900
A few weeks later, we are handed a new policy
book and the new policy on cigarette and alcohol :40.900 --> :45.920
sales was to card if the purchaser looked under 40 years of age.
:45.920 --> :47.900 Again, I am not complaining here.
:47.900 --> :27.140 I just thought this situation was funny. :D
:27.140 --> :28.659 This happened about a week ago.
:28.659 --> :32.409 I'm usually a bartender, but I was serving
tables at my job. :32.409 --> :36.470
While it's not my favorite thing to do, I
try to give it my best attitude and it's not :36.470 --> :37.470
too bad. :37.470 --> :41.730
I was standing at our soda station filling
up an empty pitcher with water and ice. :41.730 --> :46.599
Just as I had dumped the ice and begun filling
the water, a newer server came up to me (new :46.599 --> :48.750
to us, not new to industry). :48.750 --> :50.740
He says, "Hey, I need that pitcher." :50.740 --> :55.189
I have the section that is furthest away from
the soda station, so I really don't want to :55.189 --> :59.560
wait for him and get behind, so I told him that I also need the pitcher.
:59.560 --> :00.720 His response? :00.720 --> :02.379
"Well, I need it first." :02.379 --> :07.980
Me, at this point holding back a smile at
how childishly amusing this is going to become: :07.980 --> :10.750
"Oh, well I had it first." :10.750 --> :14.690
He replies, "I got it out first earlier and I need it now."
:14.690 --> :17.479 At this point the pitcher is finally full
of water. :17.479 --> :21.959
I pause for a second before grabbing the handle
of the pitcher and telling him, "Okay, you :21.959 --> :22.959
can have it!" :22.959 --> :28.550
I proceeded to dump the entire contents of
the pitcher and handed it to him, smiling :28.550 --> :29.550
brightly. :29.550 --> :34.050
The look on his face and the half-words he sputtered out were hysterical.
:34.050 --> :38.449 I dashed into the kitchen to grab a pitcher
and fill it up in there before I came back :38.449 --> :43.460
out to pick up two glasses of water I had
filled before the pitcher and left out there. :43.460 --> :47.160
The server was still there and he says, "Hey, you forgot your water."
:47.160 --> :52.229 When I go to grab one of the glasses, he puts
his hand out at just the right time so I tip :52.229 --> :55.460
the glass and most of the water and ice spills out.
:55.460 --> :00.320 He didn't do this meanly and started preparing
me a fresh glass of water to make up for it. :00.320 --> :01.330
I didn't take it. :01.330 --> :06.270
I smiled and looked him in the eyes as I topped
off my glass with HIS pitcher, grabbed my :06.270 --> :10.960
full pitcher, glasses, and a tray and whisked away laughing.
:10.960 --> :15.050 Him and I are totally fine, we do joke around
a bit, though I'm not sure why he thought :15.050 --> :19.070
basically ordering me to give it to him was going to end up in his favor lmao.
:19.070 --> :24.139 I had just gotten p***** off at a table for
telling me I "needed" to learn something to :24.139 --> :29.789
get better tips as a bartender (I needed to
learn how to tie a cherry stem in a knot, :29.789 --> :34.330
ew), so I could have been p***** enough to just take the d*** pitcher initially.
:34.330 --> :43.069 This was my first malicious compliance yay!
:43.069 --> :10.720 For :10.720 --> :15.840
context I was in the military at the time
and this story comes from my time sailing. :15.840 --> :20.180
I was freshly enlisted and posted to my first ship for my first sail.
:20.180 --> :25.349 I was ecstatic, it was exciting for me to
finally get a chance to see the world. :25.349 --> :29.630
Unfortunately due to covid restrictions at
the time we weren’t able to go out on the :29.630 --> :33.610
town on the ports we came into (this was before the vaccine).
:33.610 --> :39.080 While sailing I took two nasty blows to the
head (the second one threw me to the ground :39.080 --> :44.090
caused me to black out briefly and I woke
up seeing double) I went to the doc on the :44.090 --> :47.229
ship where I found out that I had a concussion. :47.229 --> :53.039
The doc wrote me medical restrictions “can’t
lift, can’t work out, no going on unstable :53.039 --> :58.490
platforms (that included the upper decks because
you can fall off the ship), etc.” :58.490 --> :03.910
Now for clarification if you have a medical
limitation you can refuse to do certain work :03.910 --> :10.379
as going against it is a chargeable offence
because you are UNDER ORDERS by the Doc. :10.379 --> :13.860
My boss (let’s call him Jim) DID NOT like this. :13.860 --> :17.849
He’s the type of guy that thinks “I’m the boss and you have to listen to me and
:17.849 --> :21.160 everything I say” (he was not well liked).
:21.160 --> :25.480 One day he told me to go to the upper decks
to help with a layout, I told him “no my :25.480 --> :26.790
medical says…” :26.790 --> :27.790 And. :27.790 --> :28.790
He. :28.790 --> :29.790 Goes. :29.790 --> :30.790 Ballistic.
:30.790 --> :33.050 He says “Just do what I say and don’t
give me any back talk!” :33.050 --> :39.539
I saw “Ok” and I go up (it took me longer to get up there shocker in concussed).
:39.539 --> :42.539 When I get there my buddy looks at me and panics!
:42.539 --> :47.910 He knows that I should not be there and he’s
worried that I’m concussed and just wondering. :47.910 --> :52.740
He quickly tells me that I shouldn’t be there and I just say “Jim said to” he
:52.740 --> :58.430 said that I should’ve said no and I go “I
tried” he grunts and walks me back inside. :58.430 --> :03.740
Later I get called to his office and he berates
me telling me how I’m useless the worst :03.740 --> :09.979
sailor in the fleet and “How dare you say
no to a Godd*** Chief” he then asked me :09.979 --> :14.849
“why can’t you go to the upper decks”
and again I tried to tell him my medical said :14.849 --> :19.880
I couldn’t but as usual he cuts me off and
goes “that’s not written in, I know your :19.880 --> :24.800
limitations better than you” he then dismissed me and sits there all smug.
:24.800 --> :30.099 I had enough of his bs and I walked back to
the doc and asked him to write word for word :30.099 --> :32.159
every upper deck I couldn’t go to. :32.159 --> :37.570
He said “isn’t unstable platforms count as that” I replied he needed it written,
:37.570 --> :41.930 to which the doc said “do I need to write
someone needs to hold your hand in the bathroom :41.930 --> :46.760
too” (I like him) to which I laughed and said no that should be fine.
:46.760 --> :50.850 When he handed me it I photocopied it and
put it on Jim’s desk when he was on his :50.850 --> :53.200
break and didn’t say a word. :53.200 --> :58.070
I didn’t see him much after and he refused
to talk to me for a week and passed orders :58.070 --> :07.830
to us on sticky note for the rest of the sail. :07.830 --> :22.190
My post from this morning (here) reminded
me of another case of malicious compliance :22.190 --> :24.820
from that era. :24.820 --> :31.690
We (My coworker 'Joe' and I) were in our Senior
year of college, so 20-21 years old, when :31.690 --> :35.450
a new Director of our IT department decided to audit our tickets.
:35.450 --> :39.980 When he did, he found an alarming lack of
documentation. :39.980 --> :45.140
To his credit, the vast majority of our tickets
were closed with "Antivirus was uninstalled, :45.140 --> :49.100
reinstalled it" or "Drivers were out of date, updated them".
:49.100 --> :55.410 Descriptions matching the effort earned when
you paid student workers $5.15 an hour. :55.410 --> :00.000
Really, that was the precedent that had been
set when I started there my freshman year. :00.000 --> :04.769
An email went out demanding more documentation before we closed any incidents.
:04.769 --> :06.910 It was a fair request, to be honest.
:06.910 --> :09.390 So we began to add more information.
:09.390 --> :14.380 Instead of "Speakers weren't plugged in,"
we would put "Went to professor so and so's :14.380 --> :19.180
office to troubleshoot the malfunctioning
speakers and noticed the speaker power light :19.180 --> :20.180
wasn't on. :20.180 --> :24.440
While the power adaptor was actually plugged
into the wall, the other end of the power :24.440 --> :27.430
cord was not plugged into the speakers. :27.430 --> :28.430
Plugged it in." :28.430 --> :30.930
A few days later, a second email went out. :30.930 --> :37.230
"We appreciate the additional information,
but we really need EVERYTHING documented, :37.230 --> :41.600
including times you worked on, the buildings you went to, etc"
:41.600 --> :42.620 Everything? :42.620 --> :43.640 Okay.
:43.640 --> :49.380 Joe and I began documenting all of our tickets
as if we were in a fantasy epic. :49.380 --> :50.380 For example:
:50.380 --> :56.070 "An owl was dispatched on the morn of the
eighteenth day in September to our barracks. :56.070 --> :00.620
It was cold this day, a chill had settled across the land.
:00.620 --> :07.190 Two magic 17" Dell Optiplex viewer Portals
in the land of Violette Hall had died and :07.190 --> :10.940
no amount of magic or medicine could restore them to life.
:10.940 --> :17.860 At on that morn, Ser Joseph Smithington
and I, Lord Sawser of Reddit began our trek :17.860 --> :23.260
across the barren wasteland with a carriage containing two new magic portals.
:23.260 --> :24.870 It was a perilous journey.
:24.870 --> :30.260 The sage wizard professor Beck granted us
access to the Violette and the two portals :30.260 --> :31.760
were replaced. :31.760 --> :36.040
Ser Joseph and I have brought the stricken
portals back to the safety of the hardware :36.040 --> :39.510
department and will begin rescue efforts at once. :39.510 --> :44.740
We believe the hard drives may be bad, and
will begin the RMA process back to their divine :44.740 --> :47.100
creator if necessary." :47.100 --> :52.080
We had a lot of fun for roughly a week ago
until during a presentation with other big :52.080 --> :55.510
wigs, the director pulled up one of our epics randomly.
:55.510 --> :01.200 While other members in the meeting found it
hilarious, I'm told the director felt humiliated. :01.200 --> :07.230
We were chastised quite a bit by the director,
and our immediate boss (who is absolutely :07.230 --> :11.520
incredible) begged us to cool it so that he
didn't have to hear the director complain :11.520 --> :22.760
about it anymore. :22.760 --> :33.280
I hope this story isn’t too long. :33.280 --> :37.029
It’s a little convoluted. :37.029 --> :42.560
I worked for five years as a federal contractor
and eventually rose through the ranks—through :42.560 --> :46.060
blood, sweat, and tears—to a low-level supervisor. :46.060 --> :49.910
I managed a team of 13 working two federal contracts.
:49.910 --> :54.240 Both contracts were new, and I was supposed
to make them successful so the contracts would :54.240 --> :55.269
be renewed. :55.269 --> :57.550 This started right before COVID.
:57.550 --> :02.220 Even before the poop hit the fan, my second
contract was going BADLY. :02.220 --> :07.000
The agency flooded us with work, and my boss
repeatedly refused to ask them to slow it :07.000 --> :08.000 down.
:08.000 --> :10.190 (That was literally his only job.)
:10.190 --> :14.959 As a result, late work began piling up and
costing the company lots of money. :14.959 --> :20.910
We did our best to keep up, which in reality
meant a ton of unpaid overtime for me. :20.910 --> :24.040
Then COVID hit, and things only got worse. :24.040 --> :29.380
My staff asked almost daily if there would
be layoffs, and my boss’ response (to them) :29.380 --> :31.019
was “We don’t know.” :31.019 --> :35.180
To me, the answer was that my job was secure but the others’ weren’t.
:35.180 --> :39.269 If the contract failed, he said, I’d have
a place on another team. :39.269 --> :41.740
Obviously, the contract failed. :41.740 --> :46.139
My boss personally fired me, and (unbeknownst to me) most of my team.
:46.139 --> :50.690 I learned who was staying and who was going
by talking with each of them personally. :50.690 --> :54.800
No one knew it was going to happen to them
until it happened, and they were all shocked :54.800 --> :56.490
that I’d been fired as well. :56.490 --> :58.880 This was August 2020.
:58.880 --> :00.670 Panic ensued. :00.670 --> :05.139
After firing me, my boss (who until that day
I’d considered a very good friend) had the :05.139 --> :09.930
stones to call and ask me if I’d “help him end the contract on a high note.”
:09.930 --> :15.810 (I got fired two weeks before my official
last day, because that company is run by sadists.) :15.810 --> :17.700
I told him I’d do my job. :17.700 --> :23.260
As a proud Slytherin, I immediately began
doing everything I could, within the rules :23.260 --> :27.510
of course, to send my fired staff home in the best shape possible.
:27.510 --> :33.720 We all knew our unused PTO would cash out,
but sick time wouldn’t. :33.720 --> :38.410
Everyone was sick those last two weeks, and
my boss ended up doing most of the work himself. :38.410 --> :43.680
I also sent a ton of people to work from home
with “COVID-like” symptoms so they could :43.680 --> :46.350
use their time to interview for jobs etc. :46.350 --> :51.250
I was immediately hired by another federal
contractor, and I brought my best former employee :51.250 --> :52.370
along with me. :52.370 --> :57.790
Since then, she and I poached about a dozen
employees away from our former employer, who :57.790 --> :01.240
eventually threatened to sue her if she headhunted anyone else.
:01.240 --> :06.800 I’m proud to say that our revenge-fueled
efforts have taken so many of their good employees :06.800 --> :10.870
that the company is now openly failing and will soon go out of business.
:10.870 --> :11.870 So, I work in the entertainment sector in
an office setting. :11.870 --> :13.270
Sometimes the work around here slows when we get ahead of projects.
:13.270 --> :15.390 Some of us live 45 mins to an hour away from
the shop so we would come in a few mins late :15.390 --> :16.390
and maybe leave 5 to 10 mins early to get
a start of the traffic/not watch the clock. :16.390 --> :18.089
There's times when you come to a check point
in your work and it wouldn't make sense to :18.089 --> :19.440
start up the next part since you leave in 10 mins. :19.440 --> :20.440
the Vice President of the company said if
we keep doing this we will be written up. :20.440 --> :21.440
That we are to be at our desks at 830am and to not leave until 5pm.
:21.440 --> :22.440 All of us would answer calls and respond to
work emails passed 5. :22.440 --> :23.440
Myself, I would return calls and emails until
7pm on the weekdays and monitor my email over :23.440 --> :24.440
the weekend. :24.440 --> :25.440
Once the VP shifted to such rigid stance on work hours we did as well!
:25.440 --> :26.440 Now, my email notifications are muted from
5:01 to 830. :26.440 --> :27.440
And completely turned off on the weekends. :27.440 --> :28.440
I showed my coworkers how to do the same thing via their outlook.
:28.440 --> :29.440 Now, we all leave at 5 but refuse to do any
work outside our scheduled hours. :29.440 --> :30.440
The Vp is famous for sending emails and texts
after work hours and has become frustrated :30.440 --> :31.440
that he doesn't hear back until the next day or maybe even the following Monday!
:31.440 --> :32.440 Absolutely burns him up.
:32.440 --> :33.440 He said we should be monitoring our emails
after work incase of an emergency. :33.440 --> :34.440
I simply said what he said. :34.440 --> :35.440
My work hours are from 830am to 5pm. :35.440 --> :36.440
Nothing more nothing less. :36.440 --> :37.440
So over 15 mins of work presence he has lost all outside work hour support.
:37.440 --> :38.440 Everyone refuses to answer emails after 5
or on the weekends. :38.440 --> :39.440
He hates it but still hasn't budged. :39.440 --> :40.440
Just keeps saying how we need to be more company focused.

is it too far to blame a kid for causing
a divorce we'll get to that in a bit but first a story from Arch syncopus how I
became my girlfriend's entitled dad's boogie woman so for context I'm a 27
year old female trans and my girlfriend is 22 year old female sis her being sis
doesn't really have much to do with it but my being trans does my girlfriend
let's call her Sally for the sake of anonymity comes from a predominantly
Jewish Family all her life she was grown to follow the virtues and tenets of
Jewish lifestyle as dictated by the Bible however a few years ago we met and
after a year or so of soul-searching therapy experiencing life and seeing
people around her who weren't religious she realized that this lifestyle didn't
fit her either so far so good until she decided to come out to her family and
her dad in particular now her dad is the
sort of person who has a lot of emphasis on family values and keeping with
tradition in Parts in the sense of taking pictures of everything she and
her brothers ever do sometimes even directing them to pretend as if they
were still doing things to take candid photos of them and as someone who's in
the religious World seeing her daughter not only come out to him as queer
demisexual and demi-romantic but dating me a trans woman did not go so well he
started with denial outright still is to an extent calling me a frog she has to
swallow an actual quote and a wild romantic fantasy again an actual quote
alongside other stuff like misgendering me on a regular basis and thinking I'm
some mentally deranged creep that's abusing his daughter or something he was
more or less sure that this was just a short phase and she would soon enough
return to the good Jewish daughter he wanted her to be evident evidently she
didn't in the past three years give or take and he's been getting more and more
irate over it from sending her passive aggressive messages about how he misses
her and wants her to come home more to criticizing her about hanging out with
Bad Company Bad Company in this case is a group of tabletop nerds through which
we met and blatantly showing disapproval at everything she does that doesn't fit
his image of a perfect daughter the peak of it was a few weeks back she was
moving to dorms and University which is a short bus ride from where I live so I
offer to come over and help her carry boxes I knew that her father was gonna
drive her but frankly I wasn't there to meet him I was there to help remove
boxes and I thought that me helping would help him get out of there faster
or some errands he apparently had to do I was also told that he most likely
wouldn't be able to help her much due to age so I was more than happy to come
help expedite the process now credit where it's due she didn't communicate
with him that I was there until they were relatively close this isn't a
defense of his actions but an advocation for clear and proper communication
between everyone then again I can't really blame her for not talking seeing
as every other time she tried it only led to a brick wall where she was gaslit
about how wrong she is which brings us to how he actually reacted from making
the whole thing about him claiming she and I were setting him in Ambush an
actual term he used to deciding that he would rather go hide in some unseen
corner so he doesn't have to look at me the man who's over 50 decided the best
course of action is to literally hide like a child while his daughter has to
move several dozen kilograms of assorted stuff to a new building in dorm while I
helped her all while crying to her mom and obviously trying to get her to
intervene in his fever he was literally at the point that he refused to look at
me so he doesn't have to acknowledge I exist of course if he had stuck around
most likely all he'd have done was just take pictures of her moving boxes age or
not his priority was more on taking photos than actually doing what he can
to help and frankly to some extent I get it any parent would have some manner of
shock or confusion when their child comes out to them as a queer especially
in more religious communities my parents
had to take the time to process this too when it happened but where my own folks
actually took the time to accept this and love me for who I am he not only
refuses to change but also places all the blame on her he sent her an apology
the other day after her therapist had to
reach out to him about what happened and talk it out and his apology could be
summed up more or less in I'm sorry for how I reacted to this thing you did
wrong and how you were not okay in doing
it and you know what I'm not mad that he misgenders me or calls me a frog or
thinks I'm a creep I have enough mental maturity to say that while it's not nice
of him I'm not going to take offense to the thoughts of what someone else thinks
what does piss me off is his entitlement around his daughter and how he pushes
her away it's not about me it was never about me it's the actions of a man who
in trying to maintain the perfect image of family in his mind goes out of his
way to belittle needle criticize and demean almost everything she does that
he doesn't approve of someone who would rather obsess with taking photos and
pictures of his daughter the way he thinks she should be rather than just
accept that this is his daughter I love my girlfriend I love her to the ends of
the Earth I will stand by her and support her no matter what she does be
it University work perhaps one day being a mother it's just a shame that I can't
say the same for her actual father the sad thing is people having to fear that
they won't be accepted by their own parents for being exactly who they are
also hi I'm Stephen and if you can't get enough of these entitled parent stories
why not hit that sub subscribe button down below that said our next stories
from Jesco the dragon entitled Dan thinks I worship the devil because I
read Wings of Fire if you couldn't tell by my redditor name I love dragons I
know it may seem weird and childish for someone who's 16 years old but that's
just the way I ended up I guess I've recently discovered a series called
Wings of Fire and it feels like it was made for me I'd explain the plot and
stuff but I don't want this post getting too long now my aunt oh boy here in the
UK Karen's are a rarity compared to what seems to go down in the U.S but this
lady ticks all the checks overly controlling thinks the world revolves
around her believes in stupid stuff she read on totally trustworthy sites owns
annoying pets and refuses to teach them to behave and of course is Christian I'm
not saying you're not allowed to believe
in Jesus if you want to do that go ahead this lady just takes it to a whole new
level though she even has the stereotypical haircut she even almost
killed me once but that's a story for another day also my parents also don't
like this woman as well for all the reasons I do but don't want to cut her
completely out of our life since they'd feel bad and they feel she's bearable
plus her two offsprings are surprisingly sane and nice people anyway on to what
happened my aunt decided a few days ago she'd come around to our house to just
say hello and do the normal middle-aged mum thing of having a chat while their
kids just wander around waiting to leave we were told she was coming in advance
and of course my parents not wanting to come across as rude letter it had been a
while since I'd last seen her for obvious reasons and hadn't started my
dumb obsession with Wings of Fire back when I'd last seen her anyway so when
titled ant comes in says her usual greetings to step mom and dad and then
comes and greets me in my room playing games and just trying not to say the
wrong thing trust me the slightest thing
can set off this woman I have a Wings of Fire book that I'm currently reading
through Moon Rising on my table next to my games and it's literally one of the
first things she sees obviously a book about dragons would have a dragon on the
cover so she instantly puts two and two together and figures out the book is
about those funny looking winged lizards instantly she starts saying off stuff
like you shouldn't be reading those evil books op and dragons are an embodiment
of Satan I will not have my cousin raised on satanic books because
apparently in her totally believable book of biblical wisdom there was
something about dragons and Satan being connected same book that said
homosexuality was a sin just saying wanting to stop or tirade stepmother and
Dad pulled her out of my room apologized profusely for her and shut the door
thankfully she's not dumb enough to try and come back in though I can still hear
her vaguely speaking in that hush shock tone of voice judgmental people do when
telling people how to raise their kids though I can't make out what she's
saying I end up laughing hysterically over her mini rant over how apparently a
book series meant for 10 year olds is demonic and go back to playing my game
later on after she leaves she didn't even bother saying goodbye to me dad and
stepmom sit me down and have a chat about what she's said to them apparently
she thought I was being brainwashed by the devil and being made to go down an
evil path she literally straight up said the author of The Wing of Fire books
worships the devil and drinks baby blood you can't make that crap up honestly
stepmom and Dad reassure me that I'm not in any trouble and just wanted to share
what unhinged BS she had to share because they'd know I'd get a good laugh
out of it and darn I did so here I am on Reddit telling the story to you I knew
my aunt was crazy before but this is new levels what a squid brain well although
they do subject op to having to interact
with the entitled ant at least they like understand that what they're doing is
crazy and too far at least the stepmom and Dad aren't like trying to vouch for
her or try to talk op down from Raising any kind of judgment about entitled ant
our next story is from nimu the Phoenix entitled neighbor berates me for
exposing my body to her grandson I am simultaneously baffled and weirded out
by the call I just received from my neighbor her son and his family are
visiting for the week I know for a fact that she's one of those people who looks
over the fence at what we're doing and sends countless messages berating us for
letting weeds grow in our property I received a call from her furious at me
for walking around naked in my garden where her grandson could see me from her
upstairs balcony she screamed at me for 10 straight minutes without giving me a
chance to get a word in edgewise I asked her when this was as I have never not
once gone outside the door without any clothes on apparently she saw me hanging
up the washing in my gym clothes a sports bra and short pants and assumed I
was wearing underwear now I admit I'm not a small girl but I'm working on
feeling positive about myself and therefore started wearing clothes that
make me feel good she demanded that I never wear such vulgar clothing again or
she would report me to the police for public indecency I just laughed and into
the call please note in our country most houses are surrounded by tall walls and
security fencing so she would have had to have made an effort to see us from
her house they would probably have a leg
to stand on if you're actually out there ow natural you could say but if you're
out there in your gym clothes or Heck if you're out there in your underwear it's
your own backyard they should just stop being a prude and honestly if they keep
going on about it they yell at you for 10 minutes straight at some point you
start bringing up the topic of putting a call in for harassment and if they
legitimately have to do some work to see you from their upstairs you probably
could get them caught for a different charge as well our next story is from
DVP frags entitled Grandma and Grandpa think they should be treated like king
and queen a bit of backstory I'm 12 years old and I live in a small town in
Bulgaria and my parents own a restaurant there which is the only restaurant that
works every day my mom works there is a waiter every day and night with only a
few days off and in work week days she works only days most of the time this
happened today the day of posting and it was my Grandma's birthday I was at home
on my computer when I saw that it was already 1pm I decided to go eat at my
parents restaurant because for breakfast I ate some leftover grapes from
yesterday I quietly exited my apartment because my dad was still sleeping my mom
and dad stayed until 4am in the restaurant when I got there I saw that
it was full with people with only the employees table which is a table where
employees me my mom my dad and their friends Sid and three or four tables
were empty so I sit down and know what will happen when the restaurant's full I
can't order until it's empty so I get ready to not eat for an hour and wait
I'm just sitting when an elderly couple entitled grandma and entitled Grandpa
and their I guess Sons one two and three sit down at first I didn't mind they
could stay as long as they want I'm just hoping that the way work in the kitchen
would be little so I could order I knew there were a lot of orders because a lot
of people order for takeout and my mom told them that their order will be ready
in an hour it usually takes 39 minutes anyways at one point entitled Grandpa
comes next to the table that I'm sitting at and looks at the speaker then looks
around more on the walls and said I don't think that's a speaker there's no
button and I thought oh this guy wants to know where the speakers are a few
minutes pass and then this happened the entitled grandpa says excuse me can you
clean the table we're finished my mom and a guy who I'll call Mark were
waiters that day and we only have two cooks and two waiters per shift mom says
sorry sir but as you can see the restaurant's full I'll clean your table
when I can the entitled grandpa says wait that's not all we want to order
another soup she says I'll take your order in a few minutes and then my mom
took some of their empty beer bottles after that he stood up with two empty
bowls and put them on the counter then a few minutes later the entitled grandpa
says it's excuse me can you turn the volume down Mark says yes I will just
wait a bit there's a lot of people the entitled grandpa says I don't care do it
now and after that I hear them talking to each other the grandpa says have a
lot of work I see them standing behind the counter not doing anything which is
a lie they haven't even stood in one place for a minute I know their tricks
the grandma says yeah we came here before and we didn't like it and it's
the same I've never seen them here I thought to myself I should go and tell
them that they're acting like kids and that my mom hasn't had a day off for
weeks and all I ate today were some grapes and that I weighed every day for
the restaurant to not be full just to eat and that he should wait patiently
but remember I'm 12 years old he would say something like and what do you know
you're a kid or if you could hit me which would result in a scandal then I
heard them say something like they're traveling and our kids and Sophia are
waiting for us Sophia is the capital of Bulgaria after that my grandma texted me
what I'm doing I told her that I'm waiting to eat and she told me that if I
wanted I could go to her house to eat so I said okay note for a 12 year old I
have a lot of common knowledge that my parents taught me I started school a
year earlier so I can be with an awesome teacher and I was the youngest of my
class until fifth grade where a kid was born a few days after me the same year
and as one of the youngest I'm one of the smartest note two if you think my
mom and Mark were bad they were running from table to table and they write
orders on paper and just can't help everyone at the same time but they try
their best to take everyone's orders this is definitely a situation where you
just have some impatient entitled customers sadly for op's Mom I feel like
that's gonna always kind of be a thing you run into when working as a waiter or
waitress you're just always gonna run into these awful customers who you never
really can do right by them and if you're in America at least but probably
not tip you our next story is from door Kazi my mother throws my stuff out of
the window I 15 year old female currently live with only my mom I have a
sister 21 who moved out and my dad got kicked out for understandable reasons my
mother is a toxic mother verbal and emotional abuse bullying for this and
some other reasons I have mental problems I can't get a therapist due to
my mother but I probably have or had depression now because of that my room
is a mess a typical depression room and I hate it but if you know how mental
illnesses work you know it's not easy for me to clean it but my entitled
mother loves to either get my stuff that
isn't in its place and throw it out from
the window my room's on the second floor or just throw everything in the middle
of the room or in a trash bag until I was 11 I thought this was okay it's not
I know I'm young but my sister who's a legal adult is getting treatment and she
has multiple mental illnesses and maybe personality disorders that could have
been somewhat solved if she got help earlier which she couldn't do by my
mother so I don't know judge my mother as you want but please do not try to
educate me on my or my sister's mental illnesses I would say it might be worth
it to op to try to reach out to their sister and see if they can't help them
in getting some kind of treatment for them going I definitely believe in
having some form of therapy for pretty much everybody and especially in the
situation Ops in at op's age at 15 I think it would be a huge benefit it's
just trying to face that hurdle that is the mom our next story is from Jayhawks
mom got angry after I yelled at her for throwing trash through my window context
we live on the second floor of a building situated on a very busy
Commercial Street today was a big day because it was a football soccer
tournament final and many people were at the streets for watching and loads of
fireworks were being set off after the game was over she decided to throw the
trash through the window because it has a better better angle from where the
trash is gathered to be picked up by the trash truck at the moment I didn't see
that by being on the other room watching the game so after the game was over she
entered my room and told me about it like it was normal to a person to throw
trash through a window so I yelled at her for it she said she said it was okay
because there was nobody at the streets because of the game and she was too late
to put the trash there properly and couldn't wait until Monday we don't have
trash pickup on Sundays and it wasn't a really big deal and she usually did that
before context my mom has some foot pain and she would usually throw some small
trash bags through a side window of our apartment that would land on a small
closed alley that belongs to us and we used to dispose trash to be picked up
and I couldn't even be around when she did that because it would trigger my
anxiety big time for some reason I even though I think it's a very bad habit
understand her foot pain and would always offer to take the trash and walk
downstairs to dispose of it she would always say okay next time I ask you and
then keep doing the same thing I'm not sure where this takes place or let's say
how often the trash is collected but I definitely think this is some weird
issue with the mom where they just failed to communicate when op has
displayed that they would be more than willing to walk the trash down and
dispose of it themselves and the mom even says okay I'll ask you why do they
keep resorting to just tossing it out the window do they have like a great
fear of being a burden how much more honest communication about you being
willing to take that trash down do you need before they finally take you up on
it God forbid any official sees them flinging this stuff out the window our
next story is from fine season 7354 parents are not letting me leave my
toxic job because I've been sending a chunk of my salary to them every month
for the past four years now when I told them that it's driving me into
depression anxiety and even-ending things they're emotionally blackmailing
me I called my dad twice during my recent mental breakdowns and my dad told
me not to call him Opie didn't provide too much context on what the situation
is you know whether they're in a situation where maybe they could move
out and support themselves or how old they are I think the bottom line this
situation with a lot of situations like this is you probably just need to cut
those people off I mean just look at the way they're treating you and not
respecting or caring about how you're feeling why continue to support people
who don't support you this next story is from CF buzz kill 90 parents expect me
to pay for a fridge I don't want so my 31 year old female parents 60s bought me
a mini fridge for the basement where I live I didn't ask for it and I don't
even want it I want a long disability case a few months ago and I'm expecting
payments soon they expect me to pay for this fridge when I get my money I'll
already be giving them thousands of dollars in rent for the few months I've
lived with them and will continue to keep paying them rent my parents say
that they won't return the fridge and I just have to pay for it it would be one
thing if it was something I actually asked for but that definitely is not the
case here additional information my parents have no intention of renting out
the space my father has a high six-figure salary and my parents own
multiple expensive homes they don't need extra money I have to pay for my own
groceries so I don't cost them any money I don't ask for them to buy me anything
and they don't normally buy me anything I've asked for pants as I've lost over
90 pounds which they refuse to buy even with promises to pay them later 100 this
is something you stand your ground on this is an exchange where you do not
want to give them an inch because all of a sudden that means they can start
buying stuff and trying to write it off as giving you a gift and making you pay
for it op said that they were planning to start putting beer in it but they
still wanted op to pay for it I think the true intentions are starting to show
our next story is from Legally Blonde and dumb entitled sister-in-law thinks
she can dictate grandma's name for someone unrelated to her so I'm a first
time Mom 28 year old female due early next year it's my parents first grandkid
but my in-laws are divorced both remarried and have a handful of
grandkids between bio and step anyway my
brother-in-law 35 year old male who's my husband's brother and his girlfriend 34
year old female have two kids girlfriend doesn't have a great relationship with
our family we're all close and have always done a lot together and she just
makes zero effort to do anything with brother-in-law and the family and only
cares for her parents and family and just doesn't show up too much leaving
brother-in-law to do it all himself uses my in-laws for free child care one to
two days a week because she needs to rest even though she has no job doesn't
volunteer doesn't even cook or food shop
so I don't know what she's so tired from it sucks for him but whatever to each
Throne we're all cordial when we're together and love the kids the fact that
she doesn't come around much is relevant in a second well it got brought up in
conversation what my parents would be called by my children and my mom will be
called something kind of similar to what brother-in-law's kids call his
girlfriend's mom they're both typical Grandma names nothing crazy mind you
their kids have four sets of grandparents brother-in-law slash my
husband's parents are divorced and so are hers and my children will have three
sets my parents and then my husband's divorced parents so lots of grandparent
names going on here no she's trying to say that my child who isn't even out of
the womb yet can't call my mom who has no relation to her her kids or her mom
this because it sounds too similar to what her kids call her mom and will
confuse them when the kids start talking her kids are almost four and almost
three my child isn't even born yet there is zero relation between these two
grandmas they've probably only ever been in the same place once maybe twice in
the five years girlfriend's been around what confusion will there be being that
girlfriend barely shows up to family events forget girlfriend's mom I I
laughed and said yeah no funny joke though and continued on with my
conversation come to find out after she was witching to the other family saying
that she's right and won't allow it ma'am the only one confused here is you
thinking you're going to dictate what my child calls my mom obviously I'm just
ignoring her stupidity but the fact that she thinks she's right here and has any
room to allow or not allow things when she does 0.000 things for our family is
absolutely hysterical if she brings this up again to me I will be telling her
okay sounds good to negate any more confusion I will also not be allowing
your children to call you mom in front of my child so that they don't get
confused on who's their mother and all freaking people man adding this is the
same woman who before even congratulating husband and I on our
pregnancy told my stepmother-in-law that I better buy the same car seat as her
because she doesn't want mother-in-law having to take out her car seat to put
in my kid's car seat if stepmother-in-law has my kid her kids
are in toddler seats my child will be in an infant seat for a good while so not
only is she entitled she's dumb as a doorknob because they won't be using the
same car seat regardless of what I buy I love op's plan because it perfectly
encapsulates how dumb and moronic this entitled sister-in-law's line of
thinking is maybe I should start referring to my house as something
different so that when my kids are over and they say I want to go home nobody
will get confused our next story is from Individual bit a240 my mother pinned me
down because I forgot to let the dog out my mother and I were never the closest
we always fought with each other and the littlest things would start an argument
the one time I forgot to let the dog out to pee she got mad at me for doing so
even though I always remember I had just forgotten this one time she completely
blew up on me and started yelling at me then started to tell me how I do
everything wrong like she's usually told
me I got upset because out of all of the things she chose to get mad at me over
this is what she got mad at me for I was mad at her because it was one simple
mistake and I didn't want to talk to her I knew she would come to me and make me
apologize for what I did even though I already did and it wasn't that big of a
mistake I told her I wouldn't talk to her until I'm ready fast forward to that
night I was just chilling in my room on my bed listening to some music all of a
sudden my mom barges into my room she Stomps right to my bed Yanks the covers
off and pins me down on my bed it all went so fast in the moment but I
remember being really scared she was shoving her face into mine demanding me
to talk to her her arms were on my wrists her legs were on top of mine so I
wouldn't struggle every time I was about
to get free she threw me back on the bed and just kept screaming dreaming in my
face at this point I was bawling my eyes out we had always fought but she never
took it to the extreme eventually I managed to break free and in the moment
of panic I just ran to the basement my sister heard all the noise and came down
before my mom got to me I was so scared that I just ran into my sister's arms
and didn't let go my sister was oblivious to what had just happened then
my mom came downstairs and I was freaking out she told me to calm down
and that I had to get over myself as if she didn't just lay her whole body on
top of me she then stormed off and just went to bed the next day it was just
silent she apologized but I don't think it was that sincere she then went on
about how she didn't pin me and how I was overreacting and making a big deal
about it she tells me whenever I bring it up I need to let it go and then
starts crying right in front of me like she was the victim I don't even know how
I should even React to what happened that night right now I think it OB can
help it this is the situation where you do not let them get away with trying to
change the fact or denying it you might be willing to forgive them but I think
you should always hold them accountable for exactly what they did it might be
tedious to the max to keep fighting that point but I think the moment you let up
on this and stop pressing the truth of what they did with pinning you down then
that's when you're giving them exactly what they want which is the room to feel
like they got away with it no problem and our final story of the day is from
physical pension 3411 my step parent blamed me for my parents divorce when I
was seven years old my parents got divorced because my dad male 65 had an
affair with entitled parent female 60 because my dad picked entitled parent
she felt like she was untouchable when it came to us she would accuse my mom of
turning us against our dad when we wound up homeless that same year she and my
dad refused to help because we can't afford it that same year they renovated
the house my dad won in the divorce and bought two new cars but that's another
story by the time I was nine we barely saw our dad in person and because of
that I would call every day to share what was going on because I didn't
understand why he wasn't around one day I called him and told him I missed him
that was it a nine-year-old telling her dad she missed him entitled parent
decided I was in the wrong and decided to call me immediately and scream at me
calling me a brat and telling me it was that kind of behavior that caused my
parents to get divorced she told me I was an ungrateful witch and how dare I
make him feel badly for being an over-the-road trucker to be clear I
hadn't said anything else I was in tears when my mom came out to see what was
going on to be clear my mom was livid she yelled at entitled parent who said
she's my stepdaughter I can say whatever I want she needs to know her place it's
called parenting this wasn't even the worst incident of her parenting I'm no
contact now and they both think I'm wrong because they didn't do anything
and they're my parents so I should do as they say nah I'll stick with my mom
thanks I have more stories but this one stuck with me in my entire life and I
felt the need to share it so considering how awful the entitled parent's stepmom
is and the fact that the dad is complacently going right along with her
that tells you all you need to know about just cutting them off and letting
them go they clearly displayed they don't care about op or in the best
interest of op leave them be in their entitled bubble but with that being said
that's all the time we have for today now if you want to hear another
absolutely crazy entitled parent story check out that video on the left or if
you missed my latest video check out that video on the right that said I'll
see you all next time with some more stories [Music] | give me a good story on rEntitledParentsMYCRAZYMOTHERPINNEDMETOMYBEDRedditStoriesorig |

today we have a crazy Revenge that took only 6 minutes we'll get into that in a
bit but first steps sister makes me fail my exam so I seal her lips shut due to
my own personal experience I've decided that I 17-year-old male would never let
my kids know what it's like to have a step sibling seriously I have to say
they're the worst type of siblings to exist I know some people might have a
good relationship with theirs but I'm sure the greater percentage don't it's
just not the same as having a sibling who is truly your blood that Bond just
isn't there it's just like having a stranger being invited into your home
and before you know it they're being called your sibling that's exactly the
case with my steps sister who happened to be older than me let's call her Susan
19-year-old female my parents got divorced a few years ago it was a
terrible one before the final showdown the divorce they fought almost every day
I could never tell what they were fighting about but it was always
something really stupid and Petty but I never once triy to get involved because
by the end of the day they would have made up and relate like nothing happened
just a few hours ago I didn't understand how they did this sometimes no matter
how intense their fight was after a few hours they would be talking once again
one weekend I decided to observe them to see what was really going on after they
fought I followed my dad everywhere to see how long it took him before he
apologized but that was when I came to a
shocking realization he never apologized mom too they just swept the issue under
the carpet like it never happened and went back to talking I was younger here
but I was smart enough to know that those issues they were fighting about
never disappeared they could have gone back to talking but it didn't mean that
they had totally forgiven each other it's even worse because fights like that
without proper communication would make them Harbor resentment toward each other
no matter how much they try to downplay it I try to talk to my mom about it and
make her talk to him instead of bottling everything up but as always she said
everything was fine and I shouldn't worry about it but as expected
everything wasn't fine I can't remember what Dad did this fateful day but Mom
just couldn't take it anymore they fought like I'd never seen them do
before and it even got to them throwing stuff at each other eventually dad had
to leave the house to crash with a friend of his I thought they would have
made up the next day as always but it was different this time I tried to talk
to Mom about it and she finally told me that I was right he had been pissing her
off over the years and she had tried her
best to let things slide but it was just too much to handle so she had to take a
break my parents were separated for more than 3 months before my mom decided to
get a divorce they signed the papers and made living and visiting arrangements
for me since she got the house I was to visit my dad during the weekends I was
upset at first but I understood that they made a mistake initially and since
they decided that it was unfixable I had to live with that dad started dating
less again than 4 months later but Mom it took her more time it was over a year
before she told me about some guy she met his name was Kelvin 48-year-old male
he was a customer at the clothing store where she worked as a manager after they
met for the first time he started to visit the store even when he wasn't
buying anything eventually he asked her out and they went to have dinner they'd
been going out for almost 4 months before mom invited him over to the house
to have dinner and meet me when we talked I decided that he was a nice guy
and I wouldn't mind seeing more of him until they ended the relationship yeah
you heard that right I was rooting for the demise of the relationship not just
my mom's but also my dad's even at that time I was still holding out hope that
one day they would realize that they were perfect together and they'd get
back together I knew it was heads in the clouds type dreamy and honestly a bit
selfish but that was what I wanted at the time but that didn't happen instead
Kelvin and Mom had another dinner but this time they brought someone else
kelvin's daughter Susan I was shocked when Mom told me that Kelvin had a
daughter I was was even more shocked when she told me that she was older than
me she had finished high school but for some reason she decided to take a gap
Year Mom said she really wanted me and Susan to get along because she felt like
the relationship she had with Kelvin could really lead to something I hated
the whole idea I never liked sisters I had a friend who had a sister and I knew
how they fought every day I knew it would only be worse since Susan was
older than me but then I saw how happy my mom was and I thought it was worth a
shot since I'd be doing it for her we all had dinner together and it was great
at first like I said before Kelvin and I
were getting along and it helped that we were both big fans of the NBA we were
talking about the lineup for the next day's match when I noticed Susan giving
me the stink eyee I didn't understand what I'd done to cause her to already
hate me on the first day but I soon found out when Kelvin and my mom left
the living room to give us some space to
get to know each other Susan straight up asked me why I was trying to steal her
dad from from her I was shocked at her question I couldn't understand what she
was talking about so I asked her she told me not to play dumb because she
knew what I was doing she said she had had dinner with my mom some time ago and
she never tried to steal her from me so why was I doing it to her at this point
I was so confused I didn't know how to answer her then she told me to back off
because if I didn't she was going to make my life heck I couldn't tell my mom
about this because I knew how excited she had been for the dinner and she'd be
disappointed that we weren't getting along besides Susan could deny ever
saying anything and make me look like a fool and a liar I decided to let it
slide and see what happened when it was time for me to start my senior year mom
had news for me Kelvin and Susan were moving into our house she said that they
both had wanted to take the next step in the relationship and since Susan and I
were getting along there was no reason why they shouldn't and so a week later
they were in our house Susan took the guest room while Kevin was with my mom I
tried to stay out of Susan's way most of
the time by holding myself up in my room but then Mom just thought I was acting
out because I didn't want them around she tried to force me to spend more time
with everybody else and I agreed I belonged to the baseball team in my
school and after school I used to practice in the driveway where my dad
put up a basketball hoop one day Kelvin decided to join me while I was playing
and we shot some hoops together I didn't know Susan was watching later that
evening she came to my room and said she saw me with her dad and since I didn't
heed her warnings I was going to pay for it I didn't think it was that deep
because we just played ball together so I didn't take her seriously nothing
happened for the next few days so I thought she was bluffing and in a week I
had totally forgotten her threat I didn't know she was biting her time and
waiting for the right opportunity that opportunity came when it was time for me
to take a college scholarship exam I had done my research through lots of
scholarship platforms and I had streamlined my options into two one of
them required an essay while the other required an online examination I had
prepared a day and night for the exam because I wasn't confident in my essay
writing the day before the big exam everyone wished me Good Luck including
Susan I was pretty confident that I would Ace it but when it was time for
the exam I realized the internet wasn't working at first I thought it was my
laptop I restarted it but it's still wasn't working then I went to borrow my
mom's but it was the same problem there was no internet connection in the entire
house then I went to check the Wi-Fi router to my shock I discovered that the
router cables had been cut it wasn't chewed or burnt instead it was sliced
clean through that was when I realized that someone did it intentionally the
only someone who was as malicious as that was Susan and so I confronted her
about the wire she didn't even try to deny it all she said was that she warned
me to stay away from her dad and I didn't listen so she hoped I'd learned
my lesson the exam was 2 hours long and I'd already spent the first
troubleshooting my laptop problem and talking to Susan I went to my neighbors
but none of them had a router cable I could borrow then I went to the hardware
store to get a new one but by the time I'd got back I only had 11 minutes left
for the exam I failed woefully and it was all her fault I told my mom and
Kelvin what happened and she denied it but Kelvin grounded her for 2 weeks that
wasn't enough in my book I wanted her to pay for what she had done and feel the
same I felt so I decided to take my own Revenge no more nice guy it was time to
act I told him it was fine and even pleaded to Kelvin on Susan's behalf to
reduce the punishment this confused Susan which was exactly what I wanted I
wanted to use her own tactics against her I'd make her drop her guard and when
she least expected it I'd strike the next few weeks I kept talking to her and
everyone else like there was nothing wrong but soon enough I'd figured out a
plan to get even with her I swiped my mom's nail glue from her cabinet one
evening and hid it in my room then after dinner I went upstairs and pretended to
go to sleep then I waited till everyone was asleep before stepping out of my
room this was past midnight already so I was sure everyone had gone to bed even
Kelvin who usually stayed up to watch late night movies had gone to bed next I
made my way to Susan's room with the clue she was right across from mine she
usually left her door unlocked so I had no problem getting in Susan was fast
asleep as expected so I got to work immediately I used the glue to seal both
her lips shut it was really hard because I had to be gentle not to wake her when
I was done I went downstairs to trash the empty glue container next I rinsed
my hands thoroughly to make sure I didn't have any evidence on me when I
was done I went back to my room to sleep
I hadn't slept for a full 2 hours when I
heard Susan's muffled scream I rushed to her room like everyone else and the
sight I saw made me fall to the ground and laughter I initially wanted to deny
knowing anything about the glue but seeing Susan in such a pathetic state
was so funny that I couldn't keep a straight face I confessed the whole
thing to my mom and Kelvin and after scolding me for hours I got grounded but
Susan on the other hand had to go to the
hospital the glue was eventually removed but but her skin had some kind of
allergic reaction to the solution she had rashes all over her lips that one
would think she had herpes she suffered the rash problem for over two months
which made my grounding worth it besides after that day she never tried to mess
with me again the main thing I got to say is it's a nice thing that Susan
didn't have a stuffy nose when Opie did this I feel like he could just about end
somebody on a particularly stuffy night that said our next story is my childhood
Revenge that that still haunts me my name is Ethan and I'm 26 now when people
see me these days they could never have guessed that I have something like this
buried in my past it all happened about 12 years ago when I was 14 when I was 14
I lived in a small neighborhood where houses were close together and everyone
knew each other it was the kind of neighborhood where the kids grew up
together and were friends in school and at home because there was no other
person to move with the few times a new classmate came into class it was usually
because they come to stay with a relative for a while or some sort of
family drama ongoing my point is that it was rare I lived with my parents like
most average American teenagers where we lived we had this family who had been
our neighbors for as long as I can remember I think they moved in when I
was eight they were nice people generally speaking I mean if you counted
the family as a whole and not just single out the different people that
made up their little family they had two kids and I never really got bothered by
their little daughter The Thorn In My Flesh was their son they lived right
next door so there was no way our paths would not cross if I remember correctly
at that point he was about my age but we couldn't be more different my parents
and the next door neighbors were really good friends they were always hanging
out together chatting over the fence or having barbecues on the weekends it was
like they were family and I guess in a way they were they had known each other
for years even before we moved into the neighborhood they were there for each
other it was nice to see knowing that they had each other's backs no matter
what but the problem was that because they were so close they always tried to
get me and Ethan to hang out together we were around the same age after all and
they thought it would be good for us to be friends they would organize playdates
for us or invite Ethan over for dinner when his parents were busy at first I
wasn't sure about it however over time I
started to see why our parents wanted us
to be friends despite but our difference is Ethan and I had fun together
sometimes we would ride bikes around the
neighborhood play soccer in the backyard
or just hang out and talk about whatever was on our minds it was nice having
someone to share adventures with someone who understood me in a way that no one
else did and looking back I'm grateful for that it was kind of nice knowing
that there was someone you could hang with whenever you felt like it but we
were different really different while I'm more of a quiet type he's always
causing trouble whether it's playing pranks on the other neighbors or making
noise late at night he was just one of those kids who always found themselves
at the front of different trouble scenes this fact got on my nerves a lot I put
up with his lifestyle a lot and then one
day I just could not of course I was not unprovoked one day my favorite video
game disappeared it was like magic one moment it was there and next poof gone I
looked every everywhere for it under my bed in the closet even in the kitchen
but it was nowhere to be found I had a feeling about who might have taken it
the Kid Next Door he was always up to no
good causing trouble and sneaking around they were basically the only ones that
had access to our house without suspicion from our parents so it wasn't
rocket science for me to have guessed that the theft came from their side plus
the game was kind of a limited edition and I knew how much he envied that game
I heard him Lament over and over how he wished he had the game I knew for
certain that it would be him but it was all in my head I unfortunately didn't
have any proof of my accusations I tried asking him about it but he just laughed
and said he didn't know anything of course I didn't believe him but what
could I do I couldn't just go accusing him without any evidence so I had to
accept that my game was gone at least for now it was frustrating not being
able to prove anything I felt angry and upset but most ly I felt powerless that
game meant a lot to me and not knowing where it went or who took it made me
feel like I'd lost more than just a game days passed and still there was no sign
of my game I tried to forget about it to move on but it was always there nagging
at the back of my mind who took it why did they take it and most importantly
how could I get it back all I could do was wait and hope that one day my game
would magically reappear just as mysterious as it had disappeared did it
no it did not at least not in the way I expected it to the day it did I was
running an errand for my mom I wanted to get it done faster so I passed through
the back door of our house to theirs and as I did something caught my eye there
lying amidst the overgrown grass was my missing video game it looked rough its
case cracked and its once vibrant cover now faded and worn my heart sank as I
realized what had happened the game had searched high and low for the game I had
assumed was lost forever was right there in plain sight at the back of the
neighbor's house it was like a punch to the gut knowing that someone had taken
it and left it to Rod like it was nothing whoever did it didn't have the
decency to tell me about it or hide it properly they just discarded it like it
was nothing anger surged through me hot and fierce how could someone do this to
me how could they take something that didn't belong to them and then just toss
it aside like garbage the realization fueled my hate igniting A Fire Inside Me
that burned brighter with each passing moment I was upset but I wasn't one to
show my annoyance immediately I picked it up and went back into our building on
my way from delivering my mom's errand I went straight into my room and didn't
speak of it to anyone not even mom who helped me check everywhere she could for
the game I HIIT it between a couple of clothes I didn't wear as much then a
couple of months passed since I found my game all messed up at the back of the
neighbor's house and I still kept mute about my findings but the anger inside
me hadn't faded one bit every time I looked at the drawer that hid the broken
game for my view it was like a reminder of what their son did and how they did
not address it then one day I overheard my parents talking about the neighbor's
family it turns out they were getting ready to sell their house I remember my
teenage mind thought in that instant that they were preparing to leave
without ever knowing that they had hurt me it played on my mind that it was
pretty much unfair that I had to suffer the pain of theft and anger alone and I
felt that one way to get them was to do it before they finally moved away and I
never got to see them again at that point I honestly did not know what I was
going to do or how I was going to go about whatever I decided to do I just
knew that I wanted them to feel the same anger and frustration I felt when I
couldn't find the game and when I found it so I started thinking thinking I
thought about all the ways I could get back at them all the Mischief I could
cause I thought about playing pranks on them like they had done to me or maybe I
could mess with their stuff like they had done to mine but none of it felt
right none of it felt like enough but I wasn't the mischievous one their son
Ethan was the Mischief King and in all of our days of hanging out I didn't have
a play from his Handbook of Mischief memorized all right let's narrate the
revenge in the past tense using easy English and from Ethan's perspective
their move was quite fast so I couldn't really come to terms with what I could
do as payback before they moved it made me angrier than I initially was because
I felt I was being a pushover since there were different times I could have
done something anything while they were packing to move then suddenly I decided
to act out my intrusive thoughts mom had gone to sleep early that night and dad
was out with some friends at work I stood up for my bed like someone being
controlled by strings and went over to their place place they had moved out
completely taking all their things with them leaving the house vulnerable and
empty I was certain that no one would be
in the house so I sneaked in silently it was kind of scary for my 14-year-old
mind but the anger I felt pushed me forward I had a mission and I was
determined to see it through quietly I made my way to the kitchen and turned on
all the faucets one by one water gushed out filling the sink and spilling on the
floor like a river flowing freely I watched with satisfaction as the Water
started to pull spreading across the floor and seeping into every corner of
the house it was like watching my Revenge come to life each drop of water
a testament to the chaos I had caused I was pleased with myself knowing what the
water would do to the house but that was just a part of my payback blame it on
the fear and adrenaline that was pumping through my veins blame it on childhood
Mischief I don't know which what I know was that I suddenly felt the urge to use
the bathroom at that point and the sitting room became enticing to my eyes
so aside from the water pool I left a small brown package in the middle of the
living room floor it was my way of saying thanks for the memories and don't
mess with me again when I was done I left the way I came and slept the
happiest I had in a long while I was sure no one would come by the house for
a while since they had completely moved to another city it was the perfect
payback I imagin the amount of damage the water would do before the water
supply would be cut off and I dreamed of
how nasty the surprise I left would have become before they found it the best
part of this revenge is that they could never trace it back to me but the worst
part the expense was crazy expensive after a while they were ready to sell
the house and they had the agent come to
check out the house what was expected to be a clean house as described by our
previous neighbors turned out to be a nightmare they had to do a lot of
Renovations before the house could be placed on the market thankfully I didn't
have to see them so I didn't have to confess the guilt that plagued my heart
after that night I guess a question I have is they never questioned how the
house got like that including the Pooh I
mean if op could jump to conclusions and assume somebody from the neighbors were
the ones that broke in and took their game would it not be safe to assume that
they could assume the reverse happened as far as their house flooding and you
know poop being in the living room also I kind of just have to say it kind of
majorly sucks that because one kid went and stole something they cost the
parents in Revenge surely thousands of dollars our next story is she spent 6
months cheating I only needed 6 minutes to end things never could I have ever
imagined that my wife of four years would resort to cheating on me and not
just for a short period of time but for a whole 6 months and she did so
meticulously so much so that I could never have figured out that she was
truly being unfaithful this part of her actions didn't really cause me much
problem as the only thing she did throughout all of these was the fact
that she committed all of these acts which went against every single thing
our vows stood for and even went as far as breaking the bro code which existed
between my best friend and I I was totally speechless I couldn't fathom how
she could have taken such a bold step and done such a thing to me her actions
seriously hurt me and our relationship badly and just as she had to
meticulously plan out the ways in which she was going to be un faithful I took
the initiative but instead I didn't take as long as she did she took and spent
the entirety of 6 months being unfaithful and I needed only 6 minutes
to make sure she got exactly what it was that she deserved my wife female 28 and
I male 30 had been married for a good four years and we've been together for
completely 5 and 1/2 years I can confidently come out and say that for
the entirety of the duration of time that I spent with her being her partner
and her man I've never been Unfaithful I
have never for once wanted to go outside of our relationship in search for
something that I could have very much gotten from my partner which in turn
resulted in me having killed off the mindset of even having something else to
do with some other person outside of my marriage following this I still couldn't
realize why or rather what prompted her to take the DraStic method she did even
though I'm very certain of the fact that she was very much aware of the outcome
of her actions sometimes I have a hard time understanding women in general as
the level at which they take this diluted form of double standards has
gotten to a whole new level and every time I think I now have a hang of how
they operated there's always newer ground to cover let me take you right
back to the very beginning of practically everything so that you may
see things from my perspective and truly understand what she did and not judge
but understand what I did and the reason
behind my actions my partner Eliza and I were never one to have the kind of
connection we found ourselves having for one we had practically next to nothing
in common at the time that we both had met and this was way back when we were
both still teenagers my family was one you could most likely call a wealthy
enough family we had everything we ever wanted and I knew for a fact that both
my parents were really hardworking individuals as they both would not have
been able to amass and manage the amount of properties and finances that they
have in their possession anyways our first encounter was one of pure fate as
I know for a fact now thinking back that
there would have been nothing that would have brought our worlds together not
even in the slightest but then it happened and there was quite literally
nothing I could have done about the whole situation anyways my family had a
mansion in town which we rarely ever used but seeing as the entire family was
back in the country for some weird reason which was almost unlikely to have
ever happened my father decided to have everyone over as our home was huge
enough to contain every single member of our very extended family he simply just
enjoyed the company of family and friends mostly family as I was the only
child and he just couldn't wait to have more additions to the family from me
that is I don't blame him the home was quite lonely at times anyways every
single one of our family members came home and we had quite literally the
biggest dinner setup I had ever seen food was in excess it almost seemed like
things were going to get spoiled after dinner and this was even after my mother
and other family members had tried very hard to store as much as they could in
the freezing room and then mom decided to take things outside the confines of
our home and to the homes of our other neighbors mainly as a gesture of our
Goodwill she said and I was in charge of doing just that well not in charge per
se but then I was the only one she could have told to do so seeing as I was the
only one young enough to do that and also the only one old enough to send so
I set out to give out food to our neighbors I'd already visited about
three different houses on three different trips and nothing really
caught my eye about the entire place place but on my fourth and final trip I
stopped at a particular house which honestly had nothing much unique about
it externally but then I was greeted by one of the most prettiest Smiles mounted
on an excellent build all carrying a distinguished person I met my partner
whom I fell in love with at First Sight and at that very moment I was completely
shook there was nothing I could say or do I was in awe I never could have
imagined that I found something I was never in search of she was puzzled when
she saw me and a little freaked out as I
was staring quite a lot when I came to I immediately left what I had gone there
to drop with her and left there with immediate effect all without saying a
single word or even a slight gesture I was shocked with myself I never could
have imagined that what had just happened could have ever happened to me
anyways following our very first encounter and meeting with each other I
could say that since my family was still saying for near 3 months at our our
family home I had quite a lot of spare time on my hands and also the fact that
nearly every single person in the neighborhood knew one another it made
things even easier for me I spent the next few days after that surprise
encounter carefully Gathering as much as I could about her I just needed to have
something to work with as the last time even though it was unexpected I was
practically useless in speechless I got familiar with quite a lot of people in
the neighborhood and got to know a few things about her all of which were
although important but not relevant at the time but the one thing I did find
out was the fact that she was an only child like me too and that she'd also
been outside of the country I just knew that she wasn't sorry to use this word a
country bum as she was uniquely different from every other person I had
met I was a bit put at ease with this information as I knew then what to work
on as a conversation starter I also found out that she was working at a
nearby shop where my family often frequents for their e evenings I just
knew what I had to do next so just as you can imagine I'd already set up my
family's evening as usual over the phone but I had to go over there to be the
first one seated as I knew that was about the time her shift was ending and
when I got in she was just about leaving which made this seem like another
Fateful Encounter and I just picked up the conversation from there this time I
was prepared and I knew exactly what I was doing and what I was saying nothing
could have gone wrong and thankfully nothing did she was quite the person and
had quite the personality she was what you would call a free-spirited person as
I had fearly deduced at the time she introduced herself properly this time
after I had done the same as I apologized for our previous encounter
she also apologized too as she was in shock it was the first time she'd seen
my face around and she just couldn't understand exactly what was going on she
just knew that she had to collect what I was holding and giving to her first off
before the thought of anything and right after I'd given her that I dashed away
and she actually thought that was funny as she started laughing well more like
giggling to be honest anyways that's how
we had both first encountered each other and I must say that our first encounter
paved the way for something truly remarkable following the remainder of
the weeks that I was going to be spending at our family home I made sure
to enjoy every single bit of it with her as she showed me around town and her
favorite places to be when I informed her about the plans to return to our
actual home she was devastated and only wanted to spend more time with me and
this really pierced me because I knew I could bring her with me the only problem
was I needed to inform my folks and to no surprise at all they willingly
allowed for me to come along with my friend as they saw that I was finally
enjoying myself seeing how stuck up I was about initially coming there and
just like that she got to come along with me back home also with the
permission and blessing of her folks that is we got back home after our two
months were up and back home I didn't want her to feel uncomfortable so I got
her an apartment that was only 2 minutes away from my folks place and that was
where we both stayed as we'd already gotten into a relationship with each
other at the time we lived together for the next year and she'd already gotten
quite settled in as at this time the only thing I felt for her was pure love
and the only thing I felt from her was exactly the same I knew there was
nothing more I would have wanted than to
spend the rest of my life with her and I wasted did no time at all in getting
that ring because this was something I surprisingly was not getting cold feet
about and after getting her answer I was quite literally the happiest man alive
and the only thing left to do at that time was to actually get married which
we did about 8 months after I'd asked her the Fateful question that would
change both my life and hers we got happily married and were so for more
than three and a half years without problem fault or error we were each
other's second half and things were really daily going well for us until my
best friend returned from his International contract which took 5
years of his life from him only devoted to work when he came back I introduced
him to my wife and without any reason this was where things started to take a
nose dive my previously submissive and loving wife had overnight turned a bit
aggressive and impulsive I didn't know why exactly but I just couldn't point it
out at the time when I could only 6 months later when I caught her with my
best friend in his home after she thought I was leaving the country for a
business deal I instead went over to my best friend's place to camp out for a
while and I saw them together in bed in that moment I asked how long's it been
going on and she replied in a shaky voice just 6 months and she went ahead
to make different promises and apologies but the only thing I could bring myself
to say was I give you 6 minutes to disappear from my presence and my life
for good and I left his place she tried contacting me countless times but I
wasn't having it the only thing I wanted was all ties with her severed and I
prepared our divorce documents as quickly as possible to ensure that
seeing as everything we had was literally mine and were all in my name
there was no splitting of assets she had quite literally nothing and I never
heard from her again after I got her signature on the divorce B ERS well I
don't know where that went down but there's a lot of places in the United
States at least where you just wouldn't be able to get away even if your name
was on everything with taking everything I mean I guess you could pressure them
into signing some kind of like no fault divorce where you just keep everything
but even then that definitely depends on where you live but with that being said
that's all the time we have for today now if you want to hear another crazy

and I'll start by admitting this is fully based on my feelings of betrayal
hurt and disgust I 27f have an amazing daughter a 12f and I'm married to the
most amazing man t27 m in the world my daughter and I have been living in Japan
for the last 9 years the home country of my husband I returned to the UK for the
first time since leaving this month August 2023 to meet my nephew my best
friend r26f and I have been best friends
since we were 3 years old she has always been my rock through everything
especially when I was pregnant with my daughter as you can see I gave birth to
my daughter when I was 15 her biological
father d33 M has had no interaction with either of us since the night I got
pregnant nor has he ever shown an interest until now to address the
elephant in the room DEA at me when I was 15 and he was 21 I come from a very
religious family AKA my father is a deacon there was no option however I
absolutely adore my daughter and do not equate her to that horrible experience
she saved me and I have spent every day loving her thanks to a lot of support
therapy and her just being the most loving little sweet peach out there a
few other things to note one she doesn't
know the nature of her conception how do you explain that to any child under any
circumstances two my husband adopted her and she knows they're not related
biologically but they absolutely adore one another three D gave up all parental
rights and a plea deal for a lesser sentence now on to the main thing I came
back to the UK to meet my nephew but I booked to stay for a few weeks to visit
my family and friends it was all a surprise no one except my mom knew we
were coming over it was very fun and lovely to see everyone's shock and
surprise my daughter is having the best time with her aunts and they're all so
excited to see her in person I decided to also surprise R turning up at her
house ringing the doorbell and seeing the man who was at me was definitely the
last thing I was expecting I assumed by some twisted and cruel coincidence that
I got the address wrong but then R comes
to the door calling him babe it honestly felt like a horrible cliched teen movie
where the main protagonist caught her best friend and boyfriend together I
knew she was seeing someone but she said
that she wouldn't let me meet them until it was in person she's my best friend I
had no reason not to trust her I know that makes me stupid as hell but I just
never could have thought she'd do this it's been 3 days since then and she has
been blowing up my phone begging to talk
I finally gave in because as established
above I'm a [ __ ] she said she was sorry
for how I found out about them and if I could forgive her for falling in love
with my ex which not only pissed me off but also my husband who knows everything
this whole ordeal put me through I cut her off saying I couldn't have this
conversation especially since my daughter was in the room and she replied
saying something like well she < have to find out about the wedding soon for
dress fittings I asked her what she meant because no way did I hear that
correctly and she said that as her soon to be stepmom she wants her as the
flower girl as we have always said since we were growing up that our kids would
be flower girls or ring bearers I told her in absolutely no way shape or form
that my daughter would be attending that wedding she said I was being petty and
jealous and that I couldn't stop her real dad from being a part of her life
we've not spoken since this morning on the call but I'm already receiving
messages from our mutual friends saying that I've caused her to break down and
ruin her wedding but I genuinely believe I am not only morally right but also
legally right so I'm putting my most personal story online and asking you
verdict NTA update one day later just to prevent any disappointment this isn't a
proper update but more of a post for more information with a little update at
the end you can skip to that if you want
firstly thank you to those who took time to assure me that I'm not in fact crazy
for believing myself to be in the right secondly to those saying this is fake
please manifest that harder so I wake up from this nightmare thirdly my bad for
the title I also would have taken it as my BFF marrying her own dad answers to
questions I've seen or received one moving to Japan at 18 I am in a very
lucky and privileged position to have an uncle who moved to Japan following his
deployment in the Navy many a year ago additionally my parents wanted me to
finish high school and sixth grade before shipping me off to the other side
of the world to avoid judgment from the community if they could have sent me to
Neptune they would have two plead deal I use this term as it is more commonly
known but if you want an accurate depiction of what happened I'll do my
best to explain but I am a not a lawyer and B talking about a period of my life
that I do my best to forget d was charged with the statutory as a of a
minor which is a category one for harm because it resulted in a pregnancy it
was also considered a category B for culpability because it wasn't predit
ated and was played off as a if the age of consent was lower this wouldn't be an
issue type of thing there are no plea deals in the UK but there are plea
Bargains which are used to encourage people to plead guilt so there is no
trial or a shorter trial if it's already
begun through offering lesser charges or reduced sentences there were other
factors involved he pleaded guilty had no previous arrests or convictions had a
letter from a psychiatrist saying that he lacked maturity due to some disorder
and showed remorse during the hearing because of this his charge was reduced
to a category 2 harm and category B culpability case he was sentenced to 5
years in prison and he was placed on the SX offender register until he was
notified of being removed he served around three and a half years of that
sentence before being released and was on the SX offender register until last
year sometime because a review showed he had changed or something I'm not really
sure my friend explained it to me today but we like three rows down the
Grapevine at this point so take that with a pinch of salt three deons there
are around 738 active deacons in the UK currently my father is not one of them
he hasn't been since 2019 as he has been living in the US and looking after my
grandmother not that I have to explain but currently only two of my four
sisters live in the UK with another living in Sweden to study and another
living in the US I recognize completely the privilege we have to live all over
the world if this means you think I'm lying then I repeat please keep
manifesting that so I no longer have to deal with this four I am many things but
my daughter is my whole world and I will do anything to protect her I was not on
here to see if I should allow her to go to the wedding I had already decided
that there was no chance in hell that was happening don't call me a bad mother
everything I have done has been what I believe to be in her best interest five
my BFF was the first person I told about
what D had done to me it was her and her
mom who took me to the police station it was she who sat with me crying in the
school toilets when I was SI sick it was she who watched all the videos sent to
me by the baby support class I don't know what changed she has been going
through a lot facing many issues through covid but there is nothing I can think
of to explain this change update my husband has tried to change our flights
but due to the air traffic control issues in the UK this hasn't been
possible as of yet but we will keep looking into it I have contacted my
lawyer he says that there is no legal claim from their side so that has eased
me slightly but I'm an overthinker so my mind continues to rage on with all
possible outcomes with regards to talking to my daughter and explaining
everything she isn't completely in the dark about the circumstances she knows
it was a bad situation and whenever she has asked questions regarding her
paternity I've done my best to explain to her without outright stating you were
a product of sa because I don't want her
to ever question whether she is loved or wanted she is going into that really
vulnerable age and I'm trying to be as sensitive as possible about it but my
husband and I have decided that do due to the circumstances we need to tell her
I've already contacted my therapist and she has arranged for a chat with a child
psychologist when we return my daughter will then have the option of speaking
with my husband or me or having sessions on her own I've been dealing with my
trauma for years and it was selfish on my part to wait this long but my
childhood was taken away by this man and I believed I was protecting her but I
now know I was protecting myself ours number has been blocked on all our
phones and she cannot reach us through social media either for the time that we
remain in the UK she will never be without my husband my mother or myself
thank you all for your words of support my mind has been spinning non-stop but
I'll power through for my daughter edit my friend's mother passed away in 2020
before she had ever mentioned a partner but I know for a fact she wouldn't
approve she would have kicked her AR up and down the street she was a wonderful
woman relevant comments it sounds like your friend was never your friend I
wonder what her endgame was she didn't want to tell you who she was dating
until she could tell you face to face right did she just expect that you'd be
understanding or something and the whole I'm her stepmom and her father and I
want her at the wedding blah blah blah is super delusional thinking she either
never believed you or she's let him completely manipulate the situation in
her mind surely her mother doesn't support their relationship quiet ad 960
op's reply her mother unfortunately passed away at the beginning of 2020 I
know she absolutely would not have supported it though are people really
getting so desperate for a partner that they choose to be with a known child
attacker I can't even fathom how she even started to talk to him let alone
develop a relationship with him it's just wild to me Federal arachnid 689
op's reply if I take her account true of the partner she met through lockdown
that she wouldn't let me meet it was Facebook he reached out to her and she
saw him in a new light honestly I think back to some of our chats about her
partner and just feel so stupid hindsight is a wonderful thing I guess
update to hi there I never thought I'd have to be one of those people doing an
update on a Reddit thread but here we are welcome back to what is hopefully
the final update needed for this horrific experience first of all I want
to thank you all again for your words of support and for reaching out to me
privately and in the comments I believe I've read most of them but there were so
many that I couldn't reply to them all secondly we back in Japan home never
felt so warm we arrived back yesterday morning my in-laws being godsend and
picking us up at that awful hour onto the full update and everything that is
to come my husband and I sat down with our daughter and explained that we'd be
leaving early and honestly that was so difficult in itself that I almost backed
out of explaining everything to her about D but she is honestly the most
amazing human in the world it felt as if she was the one getting me through it
her and I had the conversation as my husband fulfilled a promise to my
brother-in-law to make his famous pad tie before we left the conversation
itself wasn't that bad it turned out she was already privy to some information
that was s related my father the delightful man that he is explained last
Christmas that some sins are easier to forgive and I'm not exactly sure of the
wording he used but he essentially warned her that my bastard childbirth
was forgiven by God because it was forced upon me but she needs to stay
pure to be led into heaven I had heard part of the conversation but not the
full thing and I got into an argument with him about the way he speaks to my
child and how he's not to force his belief Bel onto her as I refused to
raise my daughter the same way we were raised this is not an invitation to
voice your religious beliefs or opinions you do no judgment here essentially
after his comment and her own very sneaky research she put two and two
together matched my age and concluded the nature of her conception without
telling me obviously for me to confirm it that was a whole other thing we both
went through the five stages of grief in
that short time I apologized for keeping her in the dark and this convers ation
will obviously continue throughout the years but on her terms she's a bright
girl she is very aware of things around her and I know that she will go on to do
amazing things I'm also trying to prepare myself for any questions
arguments or issues she brings to me I expect that once we settle back home
there will be further emotions and I'm willing to work through my own trauma in
order to help her through her own my husband is the greatest support either
of us could have she has her consultation with the therapist on
Thursday she wants us all to go together and then she can decide what course she
wants to take from then on out she's just been catching up on her sleep
yesterday and today and without going into the details of what went down with
r she understands not to reach out to her and if she receives anything from
her to tell me or her dad straight away she pushed for a few answers but my
husband working his usual magic promising her ice cream encouraged her
to settle for the very basic answer of your mom and R had a falling out and
it's pretty bad she's smart though so that answer won't work for long but it
gives me time to discuss it with my own therapist and the child therapist so
we'll see where to go from here I've had no communication with r or anyone who
reached out to me to complain that I ruined her wedding one friend went as
far as to confront me at the pharmacy on Friday but luckily my sister was ready
to fight and he backed off no one knew we were leaving other than our immediate
family so there was no hassle there I truly hoped that one day I'll understand
what R has done what has happened to her and our former friendship that led to
this but alas now it remains unknown I truly hope this is the end of the Saga
that we can start moving forward and that I can begin my daughter's journey
of recognizing that she is not the product of a hateful and violent
experience but instead the product of love beauty and comfort given to her by
her father and me sorry for the boring ending but it's my life so I'm not
actually sorry as I'm over any type of drama but thank you to those who cared
and reached out May none of you reading this ever feel this betrayal hurt or
destruction Second Story op just found out that his older sister is actually
his biological mother my older sister let's call her Rose and I have had a
great relationship since I was a baby we were raised in an amazing adoptive
family and she has always taken care of me I grew up in a very warm and loving
environment but from what I was told I was lucky I was told the story of how I
and my sister had two drug addicted parents who never took care of us they
never bothered feeding us and used to leave us at a junky friend's house for
days to go out partying when my mom was pregnant with me she smoked and got
drunk luckily I turned out pretty fine pretty often and when I was born my
sister was the only one who took care of me when I was 2 months old they left us
both in a mall and left we got help from an old couple who also turned into our
adoptive family and we contacted the police but my parents weren't at the
house which looked like a homeless cave we never saw them again and after
several months in foster care the couple that helped us throughout the whole way
BTW agreed to adopt us today on 19 and Rose is 34 I still live with My adoptive
family and she lives about 20 minutes away so I come and visit her at least
three four times a week so a couple of months ago my friend offered me to take
a DNA test to find out some information about my Heritage since my sister
wouldn't speak much of it after the results came in I found out some pretty
interesting things like being 50% ashkanazi Jew I found out later that I
had an ant 33f in the system I immediately reached out to her letun
call her jenet and we agreed to meet in person
all that without telling Rose a thing when we met up I could see we had some
similar characteristics like the same hair color and the same eyes we tried to
figure things out so I asked her if she has a brother or sister and she told me
that when she was 13 her 14-year-old sister got pregnant while being drunk
with her junky boyfriend and a month after giving birth she ran away with the
baby after some pretty intensive fights with their parents they never found her
and they stopped looking after 1 and/ half years I connected the dots and
asked to see a picture of of her so we went to her parents house mom wasn't
home and my father died 3 years ago when I saw the picture I knew this was Rose
100% Rose is my mom we were never abandoned we didn't have junky parents
and she fabricated the entire thing for me and our adopted family I immediately
gave jenet a hug told her that it's too much for me right now and asked her to
keep it a secret for now I went to my best friend's house told him everything
and for a week now I've been sleeping over at his place I told my parents and
my sister I was at his house because he bought a new game that we both wanted
for a long time and I avoided talking to Rose much I can't look her in the eyes
right now let alone tell her I know the truth what the hell am I supposed to do
how should I handle this should I tell her I know edit my best friend just took
me out for a movie and a drink I'm not that drunk right now though I thank you
all so much for your warm replies they made me look at the situation a bit more
clearly I have decided to break it to Rose this week but I need some time to
think about how to tell her I know I don't know if I should try getting there
slowly or just break the news to her somehow I even considered bringing her
sister with me but I genuinely think she will be pissed I'll keep updating as
soon as I've decided how to tell her right now I am going to bed to sleep it
over edit to after seeing some comments asking how the adoption process went I
decided I needed to explain some things first of all it's worth mentioning that
the adoption process wasn't immediate and it took about a year between the
time that happy couple found us outside the mall and the time they adopted us we
were in foster care at that time and Rose used to keep in touch with them and
they would come visit us once or twice a week or so I was told I don't know what
to believe now eventually Rose broke down in tears for them and told them she
hates foster care and that her little brother me would grow up here and she
couldn't bear that thought at that time they decided to try and adopt her and
hired lawyers and stuff and after a few months it was legal and done at least
that's what I was told I don't think My adoptive parents knew but if they did
then that story is probably a lie too update okay so first of all I want to
thank everyone for their honest replies it really helped me to get my feelings
straight and get ready to confront her so after a week of avoiding I came to
her house with a picnic basket by surprise so I will have a chance to
speak with her she was happy to see me and I told her to sit down because we
needed to talk I started things by saying that I know that she has a secret
that she's been hiding from me for years her face turned red and she started
crying like hell she knew what I was talking about I told her the story about
the DNA test about jenet and basically what I told you guys in the last post
well after she calmed down a bit she told me the truth she told me how she
got drunk at a party and slept with one of the jerks who does nothing but weed
every day he didn't really care about a future kid and was like yeah whatever
apparently she found out that 10 years ago he was stabbed in prison after
sitting for drug dealing assault an armed robbery she told me how her mother
used to convince her father to talk me out of the idea of keeping the baby they
would constantly fight with her when the baby was born they told her on the spot
that she brought shame upon the family and they would not help raise the baby
in any way meaning she would have to work in the meantime to have money for
her baby and sometimes for herself after a couple of months of loaning from her
friends and juggling between working and taking care of me she had a huge fight
with her parents and told them that if they are not helping financially and
barely in any sort of way she and I are better off without them as they sent her
to her room she escaped in the middle of the night hitchhiking to a neighboring
country and by morning she was there already she tried to take care of me for
a few days she found an old abandoned house that used to have homeless people
coming around every now and then and she took me to the mall when I started
crying she started crying too the couple that adopted us immediately came to our
Aid and asked if we had lost our mother Rose jumped on the opportunity and came
up with a story and an alias the police figured out we were not in
the system for multiple reasons we were raised in foster care for a year and a
half until the couple that helped us decided to make the effort and adopt us
so we wouldn't be separated it took them a few months and a couple of lawyers
managed to adopt us both Rose knew all along that her parents were looking for
her they came to their senses after a day or so she reached out to them and
told them in a letter that she is fine and is taking care of herself and me she
is not homeless and she found a nice couple to help her with the baby she
made it clear to them that she was never
coming back and they should stop looking and a month later they stopped a few
years later her father went on a secret quest to find her she was 18 after so
much time searching he found her apologized and after a while she forgave
him and kept secretly in touch with him he met me a few times and I knew him as
one of rose's old friends from the park he helped us a few times and apparently
they would meet up once every two months secretly ironically I'm glad I got to
know him before he passed even if I didn't know who he really was BTW the
adoptive family never found out about the whole thing so after hearing this I
told her we missed a lot by not knowing she was my mother and I told her I
understood she did the right thing I pulled out and it's a boy signed from
the picnic basket and some snacks for a late baby shower and we hugged for an
hour or so had a lot of fun watched a movie and I headed off to my parents
house to have dinner with them I'm glad she's my mother I feel for the first
time in years complete I don't care she because she did it for the greater good
and I honestly can't imagine my life right now if she didn't thanks Reddit

calling CPS for daughter's best friend my daughter 14f has been attached at the
hip with her best friend 13f since they were in kindergarten and despite the
fact I have known 13f and her father her entire life I now have concerns for her
safety but am concerned for the potential consequences for 13f by
calling CPS in less than a week 13f has both broke her arm and gotten a black
eyye with no detailed explanation as to what has happened the broken arm she
said she fell and the black eye 14f overheard 13f tell another child at
school she got in a fight but has told every one else she hit it on a dresser
she stayed over last night and will be staying over tonight as well and is
quiet jumpy and exhausted she slept nearly 13 hours last night which is
extremely unusual for her or anyone her age she says no one else has been at
home just her and her dad and when asked she has pushed that everything is okay
my daughter is distraught and keeps whispering to me and texting me that
something is wrong and I have to agree with her I've known this girl most of
her life and she has never been accident prone and has a very bubbly personality
usually has anyone ever been in a situation like this I have never | give me a good story on CallingCPSfordaughtersbestfriendorig |

what is the best thing that has ever happened to you for being nice I was
overseas in the military when I went off base I always noticed a lot of young
children girls and boys who panhandled right outside the gate so on payday I
decided I would do something for them there were a lot of street food vendors
in the area so there were about 10 kids usually I told them to come along and I
bought them all meals at this place that had benches and long tables set up
selling rice and barbecue something on skewers and I sat down and ate with them
they all knew some broken English and surprisingly a little French I did this
most Fridays when I got out of the base it was nice to eat the local food I like
spicy food and the kids were always hungry all of them said they went to
school but that They begged because they could get more money from the GI than
their parents could in a month of work it was fun helping them with English
words and them correcting my French anyway one day I was walking about the
Saigon outdoor market area when I heard this commotion behind me seemed a bunch
of people were having a little knock down drag out best thing to do we were
told is to walk away and not get involved in local matters so I was doing
that when a few minutes later a couple of my kids appeared and handed me my
wallet seems they followed me about I had no idea that they did that they said
they saw a bad man pick my pocket who they then jumped on and beat up
retrieved my wallet and gave it back to me | give me a good story on Whatisthebestthingthathaseverhappenedtoyouforbeingniceorig |

what were the most expensive acts of Revenge in a relationship back in the
early 80s before the days of cell phones you could call a phone number and a
robotic voice would tell you the time it would just keep repeating till you hung
up I had a bass player that we used for a while that was for lack of a better
word a royal douchebag he was good looking and he had a long time
girlfriend but we'd go out on the road and he'd cheat with anything in a dress
one day his girlfriend decides to surprise him while we were out on the
road a few hundred miles away she goes up to his hotel room and finds someone
else in the bed she never said a word she packed all her stuff and left his
house he knew she found out and he expected his house to be trashed but it
wasn't in fact it was clean spotless he was surprised and relieved then he
noticed his phone was off the hook it was the time in Tokyo and it had been
going for a month his phone bill was over ten thousand dollars that was his
entire earnings for that trip out he totally deserved it | give me a good story on Whatwerethemostexpensiveactsofrevengeinarelationship |

hey everybody hope you're all doing well
my name is steven and this is the story time channel
today we've got some malicious compliance story so let's jump right
into our first story of the day by desert dweller
lawyer makes post-car accident worse for his client
i used to work in the claims department for one of the top auto insurance
companies in america i get a phone call from a lawyer looking
to file a new accident claim for his client his client is also my customer i
explained that i can take the initial report from the lawyer but will be
contacting the client to get his side of the story
the lawyer immediately tells me that i am not to contact a client
because he is being represented by a lawyer i explain that until they have an
official letter of representation on file
i have every right to contact the client so anyway i proceeded to gather all the
details from the lawyer once i finish filing the claim i
generate a claim number and give it to the lawyer
the lawyer was stalling me a little bit and i soon realized why
he was using the time to get an official letter of representation on file
so i couldn't contact his client also my customer
which he did and now i'm not able to speak with the client unless given
permission by the lawyer the lawyer was a total pompous butt and
was definitely trying to throw his weight around just to show he was important
he definitely thought he was putting me in my place he proceeds to tell me that
the client has minor injuries such as back and neck
pain and is going to see a doctor i explained that the client may see
whatever doctor he wishes but that it's best to have us get in contact with his
doctor of choice as soon as possible so we can start
using the coverage to pay for any medical bills
the lawyer gets all huffy puffy with me and tells me that the client will go see
a doctor and get all the medical help he needs and once it's all done and over
with he will send us a bill that we will be required to pay in full
i explain it doesn't work that way some doctors require certain payments from
insurance companies up front or at least be in contact with the
insurance company to confirm certain payments will be paid
i also explained that the client only had a certain amount of coverage that he
pays for we are not required as an insurance
company to pay more than what the client has on his
policy for example if the client has ten thousand dollars in coverage
we would only pay half of a twenty thousand dollar medical bill
i also explained that if the doctor hasn't been in contact with an
insurance company they may charge the client and the client will have to go
through a different longer process for us to reimburse him
than if we just paid the doctor upfront now i know this sounds like a bunch of
corporate bs and it is but i don't make the rules i'm
really trying my hardest to make this as easy as possible for the client but the
lawyer just isn't having it at all the lawyer demands that the client will
go to whatever doctor he wants and will receive whatever treatment he wants and
that we will pay for it in full and the client will pay nothing out of
pocket regardless of the cost of treatment i went back and forth with the lawyer
but eventually you gotta understand that you're just going in circles and it's
time to just take the loss so i do and we move on to the vehicle
lawyer says it's damaged but the client drove the car from the accident scene to
straight to the lawyer's office the windshield was damaged and there
were fluids leaking from the car i recommended that we tow the vehicle to
a repair shop i explained the customer had towing
coverage and we can get a tow truck free of charge
the lawyer refuses and says the client can drive the car
the lawyer also demands that the client uses a repair shop of his choice
i explained to the lawyer that the client is absolutely allowed to use a
shop of his choice but that we have to send an adjuster out to the car to
inspect the damage and give a quote to the repair shop the reason we did this
is a lot of times body shops will take advantage of insurance companies because
they know we will pay and the shops fix things that don't need
to be fixed and purposely buy more expensive parts to hike up the price
it's pretty much insurance fraud so we usually send an expert of our own out to
assess the damage and write up a fair and legit repair
estimate the lawyer refuses and says that he isn't telling us the shop that
the car is going to and once again we will get a bill once all the work is done
and we will be required to pay the full bill regardless of the price
i explain that we do not cover the cost of aftermarket parts
only factory parts it is listed in our contract
the customer agreed to this when he signed up once again
corporate bs i know but i don't make the rules and i
really am trying to help the customer out here so he doesn't have a bunch of
unnecessary crap to deal with i argued with this lawyer for a long time about
how things work and why the way he was trying to handle this was going to end
up costing the client money the lawyer was on a path of
destruction and was making every possible scenario worse for the client
the lawyer wasn't having any of it and of course threatened to sue
and all that crap i finally gave in and let the lawyer do whatever he wanted
i knew the worst case scenario would come of this and figured i'd let the
lawyer and client feel the consequences of their stupid decisions
and the lawyer trying to assert his dominance
i let him and his client do what they thought was best
i mean why listen to the professional right
what ends up happening is the customer takes the car to some sketchy shop
they do exactly what we feared and jacked the price
way up they put expensive aftermarket replacement parts on the car which
we don't cover the customer had to pay out of pocket for a bunch of stuff to
the repair shop the repair shop took longer than 30 days
to repair his car because the longer they have the car the more they can charge
we only cover 30 days for a rental car so the client ends up paying out of
pocket for a rental car too also the client had to pay some
out-of-pocket expenses to his doctor we ended up reimbursing him for the
doctor bills but it was a long drawn-out process and very frustrating
we did not refund him for some of the expenses at the body shop
which amount to more than a thousand dollars
in the end the customer had a ton more out-of-pocket expenses
and headaches because of his a-hole lawyer i definitely don't know what this
lawyer's deal was maybe the longer they could draw the whole
thing out the more money they could make off the client
or maybe they were power tripping and they needed that fulfillment of it's my
way or the highway and this is how it's going to be
i spent way too long getting this education for this job and now i'm going
to take it out on you i would just imagine that if there's
somebody working as an adjuster they're trying to help you out as much
as possible right considering to begin with that the
client drove the car from the accident scene straight to the lawyer's office
do you think this was the client's idea all along or do you think it was the
lawyer's prerogative let me know in the comments down below
our next story is by nina rox give me what i want or i'll cancel my service
i'll be keeping this pretty short and simple my brother works in the loyalty
department for a pay tv company in the us by loyalty i mean he's like
one of the people in charge of giving last ditch
efforts to keep customers by trying to negotiate packages with people before
they cancel in case you don't know anything about the pay tv industry
basically channel owners make contracts with pay tv companies for streaming
rights this happens every year so when you sign a two-year contract
the company is essentially paying part of the cost of your package for the next
two years with the deficit being even higher in the second year of your contract
because the prices of those channels have already gone up
this is why pay tv prices go up so drastically after a price lock contract
expires another thing a lot of people don't know
is that it takes three to four years of service with
one customer to be able to break even on investing in promotions and such
so my brother can actually lose some hefty points on his metrics for
every cancel there are some people though that he just refuses to take
any bs from my brother received a phone call from a lovely karen one day
and it seemed she had been transferred to him he answers
hello and thank you for choosing pay tv company this is x
with whom do i have the pleasure of speaking to to which
the karen responds i just want exactly what i have now for the same price
without you changing my account and i want a price lock contract for two years
the cameron was belligerent and went on a rant about how she didn't want to pay
more for the same channels and how she wasn't taking no for an
answer this went on for a solid five minutes
she never even let my brother get a word in there was a point that she said the
magic words for my brother which was i'm not here to negotiate you give me my
channels for the exact same price for two years or i will cancel my subscription
my brother patiently waited until she was done verbally assaulting him
and waited for about 30 seconds before he spoke
cue malicious compliance my brother calmly responded with
ok so to which address am i sending the return boxes to
what do you mean by return boxes well you told me you don't want to negotiate
and i can't give you what you're asking for so your service will be cancelled as
of today is so-and-so the correct address to send the boxes to
she went on a rant about what lousy customer service the company had
went back and forth with my brother for a little longer and then
eventually hung up without canceling her account
hey at least my brother's metrics weren't affected
i definitely don't envy the people who work in jobs like that where
literally just doing your job can cause you to lose some hefty points on your
metrics every time somebody actually cancels your job is to just try and retain
somebody they're on their way out they want out they've already expressed
they're going to cancel and your job is to try to be the last ditch effort to
reel them in and if you can't do it you lose points you lose metrics
that's a tough job you gotta be a good salesperson to have that job
our next story is by shimakaze 4 don't ask a question you might not want to
hear an answer to this one comes from my old man
he used to work at ford motor company for many years and has many stories to
tell of how insane it was to work there however this one is short and sweet and
i found it hilarious anyways as you might imagine there were
many hundreds of workers on site and most drove to work in a variety of
cars management in hr decided that it would be best for the company if as many
people as possible drove a ford so they printed off a crap load of
flyers that said why isn't this a ford on it and put them
on the windscreens of all the employee cars that were not
forged cue hundreds of flyers coming back to hr
and management with the statement because you don't freaking pay us enough
and various other offensive words written on them management decided that
they didn't care what car their employees drove after that
i would definitely think that it's a little too lofty a goal to expect
all your normal workers at a motor company that assemble vehicles and whatnot
all drive fords oftentimes they would probably be driving stuff that they can
just afford regardless of what make it is this next story is by dragon girl miss
saloon always run both washers and submit a new maintenance request for every
error you got it background i work for a large research company washing lab
glassware in one of several buildings most of the buildings have these nice
washers that let us fit a fair amount of stuff
and allow us to mix washes we can wash small stuff like stir bars bottle cap
stoppers and big stuff like 2 liter glass bottles in the same wash
instead of all big stuff or all small or medium
problem is the washers are way over engineered so at the slightest problem
they will shut off and show an error if you get an error
you are supposed to submit a maintenance
request detailing what the error was and when it occurred
so a technician can come out and fix it but usually the problem is solved by
turning the washer off and on again entering a code and restarting it it can
get annoying because each wash takes an hour and a half
but you can't rush them setup the building i'm currently in has two
washers but the water pressure in this particular building
is terrible during my shift 6 30 am to 2 30 pm
resulting in one of the washers getting constant errors if i run both of them
simultaneously a technician has been out to check in
multiple times and has always said that nothing
is wrong i work around this by only running one washer during the day
i thought it worked pretty well until my boss called me in to talk today
apparently the people on the second and third shift have complained that i've
been leaving them too much to do by only running one washer
so i calmly explain the situation to him and this is what he says
that can't be right second and third don't have this problem just run both
washers and always submit a request whenever one shuts down
game on the compliance so i go back to my washroom load both up and start them
as i expect after a few minutes one gets an error and shuts off so i open up my
computer and submit a request then i shut off the washer turn it back
on and start it again again error and again another request
i repeat this about five more times all within a 15 minute time frame before i
break for lunch eagerly awaiting the fallout the fallout
sure enough when i come back from lunch there's an email from my boss
boss says op i've noticed you submitted requests on the same washer error
several times is this some sort of computer error i
say nope just putting in a request for every error like you told me
should i keep running the washer my boss
quickly emailed one of my co-workers and
confirmed the error was a water pressure problem
needless to say he told me to stop running the other washer
well at least in the end it was revealed that op
wasn't crazy and wasn't making this stuff up it very clearly was a water
pressure problem and it was proof at least in the end op was vindicated
and our final story of the day is by the barking ant
video conferencing when my company had us started working from home
we started doing our team meetings via skype our manager told us we didn't have
to use our cameras we could just be on audio
all of a sudden she decides that now everyone has to be on video because
she likes to see us whatever she's just someone who says one thing and then does
something totally different for instance she tells us to double
check our time cards on friday mornings and correct any mistakes
but then checks them daily and sends you
a message saying that something is wrong on your card
if you remind her that she told you to check on fridays and the day is only
wednesday she gets all pissy and says well there shouldn't be mistakes anyway
so i'm telling you now and then reminds you to always check on fridays
it's very frustrating anywho i was kinda
irritated about the whole change of whim regarding the video camera
so i had to comply but i threw in a curveball
i bought a pennywise clown mask online and wore it to the next meeting
the look on her face when i showed up on camera was
priceless she was so unnerved hard way through the meeting she was so
distracted she said jennifer that mask is really disturbing
i shrugged my shoulders and said i didn't have time to do my hair or makeup
she just glared in the camera then moved on
i'm sure she's going to address the mask offline and tell me that i can't wear
that anymore because it's unprofessional
but i'm telling you it was worth it just to see the look of shock
then irritation then her trying to ignore it and finally being totally
flummoxed and distracted viva la resistance
i love that explanation well i didn't have time to do my hair or my makeup so
i you know i just had to bust out my pennywise mask and deal with that
i'm almost 100 sure that op got a nice little talking to
after the meeting being told op listen you can't wear a pennywise mask
to our skype meetings please remain a little bit more
professional if you got to do your hair take the extra time to do your hair or
something like that surprising funny but probably a one-off unfortunately

a ITA for telling my many half siblings that I am not signing up to be
responsible for everyone the title might lead to some confusion so I'll try to
make this clear I I 25m I am the oldest of my Dad aka sperm donors many many
children that he's had throughout the last 25 years as of right now I am the
oldest and have been known as the oldest
for the last 25 years my mom was married to him when she found out he was
cheating she kicked him to the curb during her pregnancy with me and right
after I was born it was announced he was expecting baby number two with his
affair partner and one of my half siblings was born a while before my
first birthday I did not grow up having a relationship with any of these
children because my mom expected more than photo ops from my dad she expected
him to be a parent and help pay for what
I needed but he didn't want that none of
the other mothers of his kids chased him so I was cut off by him and he floated
around never really working and being in and out of the lives of his other
children I did meet some of my Hales when I was a teenager and I wasn't
really interested in forming a relationship like they were it was weird
because the ones who reached out were not much younger than me but expected me
to take over as sort of the head of the family and the male Ro | give me a good story on AITAfortellingmymanyhalfsiblingsthatIamnotsigninguptoberesponsibleforeveryoneorig |

as a man what are some of the most ridiculous double standards you've had
to deal with Story one this girl in my office had a crush on me and she told
everyone she started doing stuff like calling me her work husband which I said
was not okay things got slowly worse she started pranking me she took a picture
of me then cut out my face and started putting it all over the office I got
co-workers who started talking to me about how fun and quirky she is ETC one
time she wrapped my office cube in Christmas paper I asked her to stop and
I even spoke with her manager nothing I got a card for my girlfriend of
Valentine's Day she lit it on fire and threw it in the sink in the break area
apparently this is still cute and just her showing me she cares I ended up
quitting man that sucks I hope this dude found a way better job story to I used
to be one of the only male teachers in an all girls high school the
overwhelming majority of parents are reasonable people and the kids are great
for the most part my colleagues and the administrators were the primary sources
of frustration the majority of the female faculty and school administrators
have this thinking that every man is a closet creep it's legitimately
disgusting I left the same year that fired one of the other male teachers for
patting a student in the back while she was crying he was trying to comfort her
I did not think it was creepily patting her there were female faculty members
who would hug students to comfort them and they were never fired or receive
disciplinary action I couldn't in good conscience work there anymore or put
myself at risk at the whim of some unhinged administrators the other male
teacher who got fired to the school and the administrators it settled out of
court as far as I know and was able to find another teaching job fortunately
Story three about 12 years ago I hired a woman shortly before Halloween she had
just moved to town had a couple of kids and didn't know anyone I invited her and
her kids to go trick-or-treating with my
wife me and our kids our kids were about the same age she and her kids came over
to our house and her daughter took an immediate liking to me she was 8 years
old but mentally challenged and she was more in line with a four-year-old while
I was sitting on the couch she jumped onto the couch and sat down on my lap
cuddling up to me like I was a teddy bear it was very odd for me to say the
least but okay and I held her as she laid her head down on my chest my
brother-in-law immediately started making a joke with this kid in my lap
normally it would have been funny to me but it was probably the first time he
made a bad joke and it made me uncomfortable her mom explained that's
how her daughter expressed that she was completely comfortable with someone and
thought it was the sweetest thing she'd ever seen thinking back it was a cool
moment that a small child after only knowing me for barely an hour felt that
comfortable with me she was and is a sweetheart story for I have a very good
guy friend he's a big dude 66 about 280 lbs he has a little girl he's also
single dad so no Mom to help and freaking Ador her we cannot stand the
verbal diarhea people have when he goes to stores to get her little girl things
I.E a special tea set and fun fluffy toys it got so bad that he called me to
go into a Hello Kitty store with him and act like I was buying the gigantic
fluffy Hello Kitty pillow for myself of course I did it but I cannot imagine how
he feels as a guy who just wants to get things for his little girl but gets
looked at like a creep because of it man it must stink that men get that kind of
treatment just for trying to be parents if his father had it tough check out
what the teacher in Story 6 usually goes through Story five I run through a
six-month heated political battle 10 years ago work around gender equality
and responsibilities of Duty which still leaves me shaking my head basically I
used to run many sales teams across North America these salespeople lived on
the road either by taking two to four flights a week or driving 880,000 Mi a
year if they had a rural territory driving around to different parts they
took a minimum of a $15,000 base salary and earned 5% of everything they sold as
commission the base salary was set by years worked as a professional seller
plus seniority of the firm cost of living increase plus $5,000 bump in base
every year you hit the planner a 2,500 bump for not being terrible top sales
people made $250,000 a year Learners and entry people made 35,000 to 50,000 and
mid Packers made about 880,000 to 120,000 they also got to keep all their
credit card points which could add up to
two family vacations a year depending on how they spent on travel and
entertainment one day I got an official letter of complaint from a female
saleswoman who complained that her male collie got extra leads from a trade show
and it wasn't fair the most egregious part is that she was on the lower end of
the mid pack even though she had the job for 5 years and she was complaining
about a kid who just started his job and barely made rent money all of a sudden
about half my sales teams who were women
started the same complaint in support of the first person even though careful
analysis showed our Lee distribution process was very fair I almost had to
stop working because of this complaint after a six-month long investigation and
interviewing every one of my 500 sellers it turns out that the majority of the
time female sellers all but two and those two were consistently in the top
five sellers in the country consistently left trade show floors earlier to catch
flights they bug to get home earlier they never did ter down and pack up
equipment and ship equipment out a process that could take 2 to 5 hours
longer there was nothing stopping anyone from wanting to help tear it down my
sellers set their own schedules and booked their own flights all of the men
said they always seem to be the de facto tear down people they were happy to do
it because during this time other sales people from the trade show would shoot
the crap relationships would bloom in New areas of distribution or direct
customers would form because it would be
the same set of people staying behind an extra half day a day to pack up rents
repeat over a year or two with a trade show every two weeks and those who
stayed behind to do clean work did show higher performance on commission in a
job that is majority commission based and not exactly hard to measure
performance in the activities that supported high performance have more
meetings meet more new people track and follow up thoroughly we still had people
thinking it was a gender discrimination issue story six I was a male who worked
in child care for 5 years I understood the reasoning behind it but I had to be
absolutely careful to be impeccable in my dealings with kids and parents just
because anything slightly off about my vibe Etc could spell the end of my
career on more than one occasion a new parent who hadn't dealt with me before
refused to leave their kid at the school with me if I was the only staff member
on the premises opting to wait in the car until a female staff member arrived
this wasn't the case with parents who were familiar with me but new parents
often just didn't trust me at all when I
resigned from the school the other staff said how Irreplaceable I was how much
the kids and staff trusted and appreciated me Etc I think I did a good
job but even so just being a mement that I was trusted less from the get-go I
didn't hold it against anyone but it was
a double standard I ran into often story seven my sister-in-law and her husband
are headed down the court battle Road over the custody of my young niece my
sister-in-law is a narcissistic train wreck who chose to only keep their
daughter on weekends because her teaching job was too stressful then
every weekend she wants to party so her parents end up with my niece the dad is
a respected canine Handler for a specific unit in Baltimore is engaged to
a very nice woman owns his own home and rearranged his life to have their
daughter during the week they have no formal custody agreement my
father-in-law thinks because he's an a-hole is an acceptable reason why he
shouldn't have custody I'd be an a-hole if I had to deal with her too he very
nice to me my wife and our kids in reality the courts will probably side
with her even though my wife and all of my sister-in-laws close friends find her
to be unfit the person who will suffer the most is my niece man it's definitely
weird how men are seen as inferior caregivers I wish these gender roles and
stereotypes would eventually be addressed properly story eight if you're
stay-at-home father or worse just a stay-at-home spouse as a male there's a
sizable portion of people who are going to think less of you as a man assume
you're a freeloader Etc well the opposite is true to an extent as well
stay-at-home mothers or housewives are far more socially accepted people will
sing the Praises of stay-at-home moms called it the hardest job in the world
ask if their husband is helping out enough at home Etc a man will be asked
if he's on babysitting Duty mocked for playing Mr Mom ridiculed for staying
home while his wife works or having his wife wear the pants criticized for not
providing for his family Etc I was out of work for a period due to my gym
temporarily closing meaning my girlfriend was supporting us I had
worked for the entirety of a 15-year relationship until that point but that
didn't stop people from acting as if I were a dead beat
story nine my mom took custody of both my sister and me my sister was smart
enough to go with my dad after a while I was still too young to realize the
situation I was in my mom inherited a bunch of money from my uncle and we were
loaded so as a kid who got most of what I wanted I didn't think anything of the
situation long story short my mom blew all her money on legal substances while
my dad was working three jobs to pay almost $1,000 a month in child support
while my sister and I were in my mom's custody she had me in a bunch of
prescriptions because she didn't know how to be a parent I didn't remember
much of my childhood to be honest I ended up asking my dad if I could live
with him and he came and picked me up essentially across the country the next
day I went from living in a $500,000 house in Florida with my mom to a double
white trailer in New York with my dad he was actually a parent to me he had to
work more OD jobs because we found out that my mom had blown all the money our
Rich uncle had set up for us including our college funds basically I just want
people to know that I know the dads can be real heroes I will never question why
man has custody of his kids my dad will always be my number one story 10 I was
at my wife's company Christmas party and
the girlfriend of her cooworker straight up grabbed me the wrong way then she
asked my wife if it was okay she literally didn't even say hi to me I
felt like an object I was too surprised to do or say anything for a solid 60
seconds my wife didn't really register what was going on so she didn't say much
of anything the boyfriend didn't see I guess anyway flipped the genders and
someone would have said or done something man I'd be uncomfortable if
that happened to me I know some of these
stories must be upsetting to some of you but hey this is not the only video I
have so hit the like button and subscribe to my channel I have a lot of
videos that might make you feel good instead story 11 when men open up about
their feelings they're often viewed as weaker less masculine immature and too
emotional when women open up about their feelings they're often viewed as more
empowered more feminine more mature and More in touch with their emotions when
men fail they're often viewed as pathetic and not working hard enough
when women fail they're often viewed as hard workers staying strong in an unfair
world when men make more money than women there's controversy about the wage
Gap when women make more money than men those men are viewed as inadequate and
lacking an ambition story 12 I opened up to my ex about my
feelings and other topics that are being brought up here being pastored or
violated being uncomfortable around children l i be labeled a creep Etc she
told me that it was insensitive of me to bring up these topics with her because
she was violated as a kid and it was triggering to her if these things were
bothering me I should talk to a therapist about them she told me at the
beginning of the relationship what happened to her as a child but wouldn't
talk much about it and she wouldn't go to therapy herself she said she had done
therapy as a teenager and didn't need it anymore had been going to therapy for 4
years at the time and had done done a lot of good work I just wanted to be
open with her about how I feel about things in our society but she told me
that I needed to go to therapy four times as much as she thought I was
actually going I'd been going once every two months before meeting her and was
going almost every two weeks once we started dating I never told her about
this because my therapy is my business she just assumed I was going every
couple of months but God forbid I suggest you go to therapy no she went a
few times when she was young she was fixed for good but I was the problem oh
did mentioned she was a counseling psychologist Good Times story 13 half of
my attractiveness has always been based on how much I make my mother married
into wealth in her third marriage private jets yachts and the works I'm
mostly humble about it and keep it low I mean it's not my money they don't
support me and we have a terrible relationship I started hanging around a
friend who lift to boast about money and the money that other people have he
would tell women it come from money and they should lock me down the amount of
Interest they had in me after that would Skyrocket it would be normal women one
second then turn shallow fake and super desperate now going to to lie the desire
felt great but I quickly learned it's not real I stopped being friends with
him and having looked back man I think it's lame how some think that money
makes people more attractive I don't think money should Define who we are
story 14 I don't really like that women want to be treated as equals but are
perfectly fine with letting their men pay for all their dates some women have
dated are better than others but ideally they're not making it awkward they pull
out their cards and take the bill or they tell you in advance I'm taking you
in a date and paying for everything I fully believe it should be at least
proportionate to your income like the guy should pay 75% of the time of his
income represents 75% of their total income but that lady should be covering
roughly 25% also this only applies in a relationship I'm okay with paying for
the first few dates during a dating period I want a gal who supports me and
wants me to be able to save money as I would want that for her too I feel
disrespected when they're never paying story 15 the dress code I say this as a
CIS dude all right I'm at my job and have long hair I died at pink and wor it
in pigtails the boss says I can't do that fine man bun I wear skin tight
jegging boss breathing down my neck again I can't do that I wore pink boots
no I can't do that either they thought I was crossdressing now if I were trans
and I was trying to present myself as a woman we'd be having a totally different
conversation yet still messed up similar
but different but I wasn't and they said I couldn't dress really girly what does
that mean it's not girly when all the women do it that's a legit double
standard story 16 I'm a physician surgeon I get hit on a lot by females
usually older women if not directly tell me I'm hot or easy on the eyes or
something they tell me a female assistant or female residents or
students whom I am training and it makes them very uncomfortable or they'll tell
the nurses in the preop OR Recovery Unit the NES theologist Etc imagine men
saying things like that too or about a female doctor pretty sure most know
that's an absolutely inappropriate Thing by now I hope I know females deal with
that constantly in general but it makes for an uncomfortable situation when
you're establishing a relationship with patients I've asked my female colleagues
if they get directly hit on the patients
and thankfully for them they've all said No so at at least there's that story 17
a fat woman is told she's beautiful at any weight and to be proud of her curves
that being fat is beautiful Etc they're even plus-sized models I don't hear
anyone saying fat men are fantastic huge is handsome or move's Rock I'm pretty
sure that fat guys at there aren't getting their doors broken down by
frisky women because fat is beautiful men shouldn't objectify women but women
use toys which seems like the ultimate objectification of men if a man RS up a
woman he's a dirt bag which I agree with if a woman does that to a man people
will say you go girl girl power a nearby men often help the woman being a
full-time mom is according to Oprah the toughest job there is being a full-time
working Dad it's your job man up if a girl gets pregnant it's the man's fault
unless he used sedatives on her the woman has to take some responsibility
everyone knows what causes babies there was a time when the number of women
being injured at work went up to 7% there was a national investigation the
reason was that there was high in employment at the time so there were
fewer Men at Work to be injured 93% of all workplace mortality and injuries
involve men and no one bats an eye I have heard about that situation with men
at work man it's stuff having a white chromosome story 18 I'm a teacher and I
volunteer two weeks every summer at a camping site to entertain the kids I
just like kids they're creative open-minded unpredictable and don't
worry as much as adults do most little girls like me because I'm carrying and
have long hair jewelry and earrings so they want me to pay a little more
attention to them than other kids which I sometimes do I sit on my lap or carry
them on my shoulders multiple parents have filed complaints against me for
apparently being a creep because of this I am just trying to give these kids a
good time let it be people in addition being grabbed at festivals by random
girls and being called lucky like what the hell why is it okay to grab a guy
but not a girl in What scenario should my gender decide whether I'm lucky or
not story 19 I'm a rather big guy I left every day but honestly I don't realize
I'm intimidating I'm kind of a blundering idiot I left my lights
running in my car and went inside a grocery store I came out and my battery
was dead I had jumper cables but needed another the running car right then a
young woman with two children walked up to the car next to me I introduced
myself started to explain my plight and asked for help she jumped in her car
quickly drove off and didn't say a word then I realized they probably scared the
crap out of her a random big dude walked up to her while she was alone with her
kids I called a friend and he was 30 minutes away but on his way to help me
I'm waiting next to the car and two police cruisers roll up on me they
approached me asked me to put my hands in the car and did a vehicle search the
whole nine yards the lady had called the cops the Budd showed up mid- search and
they pestered him too they were convinced we were running some abduction
ring or something they finally let us jump my car and go even then one of the
Cruisers followed me to my house it was annoying lesson learned though never ask
for help from a stranger story 20 as a single dad with custody of my son the
number of times have been asked why do you have him on a first date or when I
start talking to a woman in a dating app is ridiculous I can only imagine what
would happen if a single mother was asked that same question why is it
completely acceptable for a woman to leave a man and take his kids away with
no questions asked but when a man has custody I'm treated like I must have
stolen my own child story 21 behavior when drunk plenty of times you see women
being overly aggressive or even just incredibly hammered in a bar or club
where you know a man would be ejected but women are allowed to stay because
they're seen as less of a threat I hope you enjoyed the video and if you made it

Story one aita for telling my parents to keep all the money they stole from me
while I was in university and shove it up their a original post April 25th 2024
I got a job while I was in high school it was with a friend of my father I put
away most of it and just bought myself some stuff I wanted but my parents
wouldn't buy for me my parents aren't rich but they do well enough they wanted
me to appreciate that material goods were paid for with my time I didn't mind
I bought myself a PS4 and some games which they made me share with my younger
brother and sister once again I didn't mind I mostly played while they did
homework or slept when I graduated from high school they said I had to start
paying rent that sucked because I was going to University in the fall and I
was hoping to save up over the summer so
I could work less during the school year so I worked my ass off in school and at
work I ended up getting a job loading delivery trucks before school and that
Sue Ed because I went to sleep at 7:00 p.m. most nights so I could get up early
and go to work I am about to graduate and I found a job in another Province I
have already started doing my on boarding and online training I will go
from graduation to loading my car to leave my parents had a graduation party
for me where they tried to present me with a check for all the rent I paid
plus a pittance in interest I looked at the check for about a minute and I
started laughing all I could think of was the fact that I had no social life
during University because I was working I didn't have any money and Investments
like my friends did because they were taking my money I asked them how they
were doing this for my sister they said they weren't since she wasn't working
while she went to school I Tire up the check and told them to to shove it up
their asses I told them that when they compensated me for all the sleep I lost
four years of no social life during University and four summer vacations I
would speak to them again I told my little brother not to get a job or they
would fck him over to I went to my room grabbed my computer some clothes my PS4
and my toiletries my brother and sister can play on the PS5 my parents bought
the family they were yelling at me the whole time I said if they touched me or
tried to stop me I would call the cops I loaded up my car that I paid for I
ensure and is registered to me I drove to my friend's parents house and had a
bit of a breakdown they let me stay there since she is away at University in
another city I blocked my parents and my brother and sister I had already given
notice at my job so I called my boss and told him I was sick and would not be
available for my last week he said he understood and laughed he said he was
surprised I had kept working this close to graduation my grandfather called me
to talk a couple of days later we went to Timmy's and he let me unload
everything I felt they took money from me that I could have used used to make
my life better I didn't even have time for a girlfriend my entire University
romantic life was whooing up with a woman I work with when her ex-husband
had the kids for the weekend he said my parents Hearts were in the right place
and that they thought they were helping me I said they owed me four years of fun
of parties I was too tired to go too of social events and networking I didn't do
all the they were subsidizing for my sister and that they would end up
subsidizing for my brother he said he understood and hugged me he is old but I
couldn't have gotten free of that hug if
I tried he he asked me if I needed money to start my new job I said I did not
want anything that came from my parents he gave me a cashier's check for about
three times what my parents took from me
he said to use it however I wanted in my new life he said it wasn't part of my
inheritance or anything it was a gift from him and something my grandma would
have wanted me to have my friends think I was stupid to tear up the check most
of them agree with me about being pissed
at my parents some family have called me to say I behave terribly and that I owe
my parents an apology I thank them for the call or message and block I'm calmer
now and I do not think I am in the wrong but maybe I'm too close to see what I'm
missing Ada relevant comments subscreen n they saw that the lifestyle they
forced on you was keying you for years and did nothing and they waited to do it
at a party they hosted so they could get full credit as great parents too the
fact that they never intend to pull this crap on your sister reeks of bias oop
they would probably try if she was stupid enough to get a job Tilla Tiger
Den NTA how much were you paying in rent I could understand a pittance like $300

sure why but my other throwaway got deleted I took a lot of what you guys
had to say to heart I unblocked my family and spoke with my parents I
agreed to meet with them for lunch today we went to The Keg and talked they said
they didn't realize how I felt for those
four years my mom cried and said she was very sorry that I felt like they didn't
care about me I guess they read my post from before it got taken down and they
are disturbed by what I wrote they are also upset that my girlfriend is a
single mom 14 years older than me they asked if they could meet her and I said
no they offered me the check again and this time I took it and thanked them I
said I would come home later after lunch I went to the bank and deposited it
since we all bank at the same Branch it was easy to cash it I made sure that the
money was in my account then I blocked them again I just wrote my girlfriend a
check for $4,320 more or less she is a decent
person and she taught me a lot she works her ass offloading trucks and she
deserves something good in her life I know that isn't me I am seeing my
grandfather tomorrow I am going to make sure he knows what I did and why I am

you all for your help and advice relevant comments tell Vonnie what was
the reason for giving your girlfriend the money and what was her reaction to
it oop I felt like doing something nice with money that my parents would hate
she was very appreciative of the money and tried not to accept it I said my
next choice for that money would be Pierre P Evra and she accepted it just
to keep it away from him editors note Pierre P Evra is the head of the
conservative party in Canada new update my last update on my parents my money my
grandpa and my girlfriend June 15th 2024 Tuesday is my convocation I gave the
tickets to my grandfather and my girlfriend Wednesday I'm taking a flight

from my new city down to another then through the mountains and home he had
never seen the Rockies before my parents
are pissed that they will not get to see me graduate but since they had fck all
to do with my success thus far in my life they don't deserve it I got some
great advice from this sub and the other
one I will start seeing a therapist when I get to the city where I will be
working not to reconcile with my parents or anything just to deal with my hatred
and maybe get to a better place I left my old phone at my parents house and I
have a new phone number that only my grandpa my friend her parents and my
girlfriend know if I get a call from my parents I will ditch it and just have my
grandfather know my number I have been lurking on Reddit and I cannot believe
how many other parents think this is the right way to deal with kids if you do
this please choke so yeah still angry still cutting those useless people out
of my life happy to be moving forward thanks for reading this and for the
advice all of you that agreed with my parents I hope you do better with your
kids if not you deserve what you get relevant comments TV Maniac 5 can I ask
a few questions did you ever talk about how you felt regarding the money to your
parents before the incident were were you planning to cut them off or were you
just pissed they didn't actually need the money and kept you in a misguided
attempt to teach you self-reliance do you think it's fair to also cut off your
siblings for something your parents did oop never talk to them wasn't planning
on cutting them off was going to go LC not NC my sister is on their side big
surprise my brother unfortunately let them use his phone to contact me tild
arcum guardiano so has the girlfriend been promoted to legit girlfriend now
oop no we have had our goodbyes we actually had them after my first post I
just wanted her to see me graduate she deserved it more than my parents she
cares for me but was very clear that her
and I would not work long term story two I caught my husband cheating on me with
his step sister I just need a place to let this out last week I 29f caught my
husband Jack 30m cheating on me with his stepsister Claire 24f I went out with a
friend last Saturday and planned to stay at her house jack didn't want to be
alone all night so he said he'd just go hang out with his stepsister they've
always been close and they end up end up going to a bar I was feeling unwell and
just wanted my bed so I decided to get an Uber and head home I was not
expecting to walk in on them having SX on the couch I literally threw up on the
floor by the front door they told me they were drunk and it just kind of
happened I screamed at them both to leave Jack refused to leave and refused
to sleep on the couch so I ended up leaving anyways and went back to my
friends I am still in shock that he actually slept with CLA I think I'm
going to file for a divorce I am so overwhelmed and uncomfortable has anyone
else gone through this please message me if so I feel very alone and Confused
also do I tell their parents that's why we're going to get a divorce I've been
isolating myself a lot because of this relevant comments Autumn laughter I'm
guessing this wasn't the first time I'm sorry op please don't hesitate to tell
people why you divorcing so he doesn't have the opportunity to paint you as the
bad guy call you Ali wow I am so sorry op definitely tell their parents I'm
curious how long have they been step siblings oop their parents got married
when he was 10 and she was four it makes me kind of sick that they've been in
each other's lives since they were young and could actually do this they've
always said they consider themselves as full siblings so this is really
disturbing mg C4 they probably said that to throw you off sorry they've probably
been doing this for a very long time embarassed safe
7939 I agree I feel like something like this doesn't just happen after so many
years of living as siblings it may have been going on for a while but what
worries me is since when there is a 6 years age difference here even if they
did wait until she was 18 he'd be 24 just the fact that he could look at her
as anything other than his bratty little
sister is very disturbing and concerning so run sounds like way too much to deal
with that is not your responsibility Dresden uncore Mouse you think even
ignoring the stepsister element He took a girl into your home knowing you
wouldn't be there to fck her I'm going to bet is not the first time something
like this happened get proof lawyer up and tell the family on to4 has she tried
calling you oop yes Claire tries texting
me every day to apologize and is begging
me not to tell anyone holiday aside it's not your burden to keep their shameful
betrayal a secret the faster you tell PPL and get it out in the open the
sooner this will all be over disconnective if they have been step
siblings since ages 10 and 4 Not only would I expect them to see each other as
siblings I'd also expect him to see her as his little sister when he hit puberty
she would have just been sevenish years old and it strikes me as kind of
predatory for him to see heres even if they are both consenting adults now
because that attraction wouldn't just have randomly developed after all this
time it would have been there acted upon or not for many years likely while he
was an adult and she still a minor update May 23rd 2024 5 days later I
wanted more information on how long it's
been going on and at what age it started so I decided to text CLA I told her I
wouldn't tell anyone if she answered my questions she agreed to tell me
everything I asked her when they first had SX At first she told me it was their
first time but I told her I'm not believing that she then confessed that
their first time was right before she turned 18 I am so disgusted and
extremely concerned then I asked her if it's still been happening since then and
she said no she explained that they did it when she was 17 and never did it
again until last week I don't think I can trust her though I she also told me
that Jack is the one who initiated SX but who knows if that's the truth it
very well could be though Jack and I have been together for 5 years married
for two we were going to start trying for a baby soon so I'm crushed I wasted
so many years of my life with this man I who he even is is right now I lied to
CLA though I 100% planned on telling their parents some of you say that it
would be wrong to do so but because it happened when she was 17 I felt like
they needed to know and deal with it however they choose they didn't believe
me at first until I showed them the screenshots of mine and cla's
conversation they still seem to be in denial a little bit I don't blame them
though I told them I'm filing for divorce and that I am moving on with my
life they gave me a hug and said they'd speak to both of them but I told my Mill
that I didn't want to know anything else
and to please let me live in peace she's
going to respect that I more than likely won't have more updates but I wanted
everyone to know that I'm for sure getting a divorce and going to find a
therapist because I'm depressed and need the support to move on thank you to
everyone who was kind and gave me advice and support relevant comments actual
offer 127 good luck to you I wish you nothing but the best does stbx feel any
remorse at all oop nope he's being very cold towards me and refuses to leave the
house so I've been staying with my friend songs fum a lot of times when I
was working with younger clients they lied to me about certain parts of their
stories and often times their lies had a part that was true it is very well
possible that she was younger than she almost 18 so the truth is that she was
underage the LIE is about the timeline just saying aerox also if SX happened at
17 then there had to be significant grooming leading up to it contrary to
what poor Hub would have us believe step siblings don't just suddenly decide to
Blink for shits and giggles and horny one-handed clicks vomiting face edit
blink equals boink smiley face cesiley 90 while she's certainly not innocent at
her age now he was 23 and she was 17 when this started he's a grooming creep
you're dodging a bullet but I'm sorry you're going through this golf signal
941 they had been step siblings for years before she turned 17 it was
absolutely grooming lurk and cheap the beginning age of 17 was also given by a
person caught fooing their sibling how truthful do we think this number really
is patient display 5248 don't leave the house that can be thought of as
abandoned property get an attorney one who specializes in nasty divorces you
want a shark for this ask for the divorce record to be kept private or not
if you want to be able to refer people to court notes engage a therapist not
because you need one right now but because trust me there will be days
where you will separate bank accounts take your name off of The Joint ones
after your lawyer tells you to have your official document somewhere safe DL SS
card house note car notes spare Money Bank vault stuff at Etc and 64 I know
people are saying you told the parents out of petty Revenge but I think you
were right to tell them who knows what your husband would have told his parents
about the reasons for the divorce in order to hide his own wrongdoing he
might have started telling them and others that it was you who cheated
believe me I've seen it happen it's important that you set the record
straight Reds R I'm weirdly proud of you that took such courage and you handled
it with Incredible dignity I wish you well as you start to pick up the pieces
I know this is the furthest thing from your mind but one day you will meet
someone who will make you glad you left Jack editor note oop has said she won't
update any further I hope she gets out of this mess divorces him and gets safe
and happy in the future but I don't expect an update so I am marking it

I caught my boyfriend (24m) paying for escorts :11.969 --> :15.240
and I (24f) feel disgusting :15.240 --> :16.240 hello.
:16.240 --> :19.890 this is my first post as I have literally
no one to talk to this about. :19.890 --> :23.280
ive been with my bf for about 4 and a half years. :23.280 --> :27.970
i just found out he’s been going behind
my back to see escorts and pay for inappropriate :27.970 --> :29.769
things/services. :29.769 --> :31.330 i truly don’t understand.
:31.330 --> :35.710 my feelings are hurt but I don’t understand
why he did what he did.. he literally had :35.710 --> :37.600
sex with me before he found out. :37.600 --> :42.030
the way I found out was going thru his phone
after we were done being intimate because :42.030 --> :47.690
something in me just had a bad feeling. he
literally tried to link with somebody an hour :47.690 --> :51.489
before he saw me.. random hoes at hotels.. :51.489 --> :53.450
like are you freaking serious?? :53.450 --> :54.450 4 years.
:54.450 --> :57.630 Don’t know how to even play it cool in front
of my friends. :57.630 --> :58.640 This is a mess.
:58.640 --> :02.710 I feel disgusting and the first thing I’m
doing is getting tested in the morning. :02.710 --> :06.850
I feel like i just want to keep taking a shower over and over again.

thanks for reading sorry it’s long.. :09.140 --> :11.750
I don’t know what to do how do I move forward..? :11.750 --> :13.140
Do I get revenge? :13.140 --> :14.530 What would that even look like?
:14.530 --> :19.750 I’m so angry hurt and upset he would disrespect
me like this to a completely different level :19.750 --> :43.390

:07.030 --> :09.989 My boyfriend is insecure about my weight loss
[new] :09.989 --> :11.260 Hi there Redditers!
:11.260 --> :17.360 My boyfriend (30M) and I (28F) have been together
for almost 4 years now. :17.360 --> :22.610
I love my boyfriend very much and I know he
loves me too, but he is constantly making :22.610 --> :26.250
remarks about my weight loss that I’m not happy about.
:26.250 --> :30.560 Within the first year we got together I was
on a weight loss journey having lost over :30.560 --> :31.950
50 pounds. :31.950 --> :37.250
During this I had developed an eating disorder,
body dysmorphia as well as my depression and :37.250 --> :39.660
anxiety were at an all time high. :39.660 --> :44.750
I stopped my weightloss journey to work on
my mental psyche and get back to being myself. :44.750 --> :47.670
My boyfriend has supported me the entire time. :47.670 --> :51.670
Loving me, caring for me and calling me beautiful every day.
:51.670 --> :55.190 Now that I’ve worked on my mental health
and feel like I’m in a much healthier mindset :55.190 --> :59.720
I’ve decided to go back to working out because
I’ve gained back all the weight that I lost. :59.720 --> :04.360
I started working out again which at first
my boyfriend was supportive and encouraging :04.360 --> :08.530
but over time as I continue to lose weight he’s been less encouraging.
:08.530 --> :13.780 He started complaining that he was fat and
needs to workout to which I suggested we could :13.780 --> :16.090
together on multiple occasions. :16.090 --> :19.120
I invite him to join me but he never feels like doing it.
:19.120 --> :24.840 I wrote out an entire workout routine for
just him to do on his own because he asked :24.840 --> :27.120
me to but he never did that either. :27.120 --> :31.890
He started getting insecure about me losing
weight saying things such as, “You’re :31.890 --> :34.690
making yourself hotter and you’re gonna leave me.” :34.690 --> :37.909
“Someone is gonna just come along and you’ll leave with them.”
:37.909 --> :41.030 “Some hot guy that works out too will take you.”
:41.030 --> :43.239 I ensure him that this is not the case.
:43.239 --> :48.400 I am not losing weight to impress anyone but
for my own health and well being. :48.400 --> :53.549
I don’t even look or think about other men
as potential partners because I love my boyfriend :53.549 --> :54.650
so much. :54.650 --> :57.500 I want to marry him and spend the rest of
my life with him. :57.500 --> :02.221
I do at home workouts on account I cannot
afford a gym membership at this time, I work :02.221 --> :07.000
late hours with maybe 4 other people on a
busy night, and the only time I go out is :07.000 --> :10.040
buy groceries or when I’m with him/friends or family.
:10.040 --> :13.290 I don’t know when/where he thinks I’d
even be meeting anyone. :13.290 --> :18.340
I’ve tried my best to make him feel as secure
as I can which always works for a time but :18.340 --> :20.040
it’s constantly coming back up. :20.040 --> :22.030
I’m not sure of anything else to do. :22.030 --> :53.830
Has anyone else gone through something similar :53.830 --> :18.580
to this? :18.580 --> :19.580 Any advice? :19.580 --> :21.610
Posted by u/justmeArpitoto :21.610 --> :23.720 1 day ago
:23.720 --> :27.900 My husband became less emotional and forces
me to do the same :27.900 --> :31.960 [new]
So me(27) and my husband(25) are married for :31.960 --> :37.220
a year, and he told me few days ago that he
wants to feel less emotions to not experience :37.220 --> :41.639
sadness or negative emotions, at the same time happiness.
:41.639 --> :45.850 To make me feel the same way, he came to me
and said "I think I will fall in love with :45.850 --> :49.370
someone else, and if you want, you can do the same".
:49.370 --> :55.850 I of course got confused, cried later, had
major anxiety attacks and the reason of his :55.850 --> :00.000
action was to make me feel no emotions while hearing what he says.
:00.000 --> :05.160 Like an experiment, he wanted to test me,
saying that he actually does not want to leave :05.160 --> :06.160 me.
:06.160 --> :11.180 He wants me to not care about if he leaves
me, or he does whatever he wants, it should :11.180 --> :12.940
not mentally touch me. :12.940 --> :19.160
I am a person full of emotions, love, care,
joy, and he wants me to become emotionless. :19.160 --> :23.650
He keeps saying that I am a people pleaser,
too emotional (I cry when K watch something :23.650 --> :26.330
emotional and jump if i am really happy). :26.330 --> :31.090
We argued few days because of this and he
can't stop, I am going to start a therapy, :31.090 --> :35.310
but he does not even agree to it, he says
I should just work on myself with no help :35.310 --> :38.729
and become someone who doea not care about the actions of other people.
:38.729 --> :44.610 I feel broken, because he was smiling and
soo happy on our wedding but as he mentioned :44.610 --> :49.740
he did not feel so much happiness and it was
fake, as in his past he was a very emotional :49.740 --> :54.479
person and was going through depression due
to being rejected from girls and having fights :54.479 --> :55.479
with his dad. :55.479 --> :00.870
I am thinking to stop asking him about my
action, and just live for myself, reducing :00.870 --> :05.310
all the emotions and care I used to give him and instead put it all in me.
:05.310 --> :08.720 Will it break my marriage or it already is borken.
:08.720 --> :16.960 Is it possible that my husband is going throught
a rough patch and he will be "normal" again? :16.960 --> :28.950
Posted by u/Wooden-Chemist-7169 :28.950 --> :57.480 1 day ago
:57.480 --> :03.069 I (24F) snooped through my bf’s (23M) journal.
:03.069 --> :04.990 Should I tell him, I feel very guilty.
:04.990 --> :07.169 [new] I met him about two years ago and we’ve
:07.169 --> :08.940 been seriously dating since.
:08.940 --> :12.960 I have a problem with being clingy and feel
like I always need to have him around. :12.960 --> :17.860
He goes out of his way to see me everyday but we just end up talking about me.
:17.860 --> :22.570 I know he keeps a journal, I asked him and
he said it organizes his thoughts or helps :22.570 --> :23.889
him remember stuff. :23.889 --> :29.659
I’m 100% sure if I asked to see his laptop
or phone he’d just hand it to me, but this :29.659 --> :32.930
journal seemed like the one thing he kept private. :32.930 --> :37.719
I don’t suspect him of cheating at all,
but I just wanted to snoop and he trusted :37.719 --> :39.120
me enough to leave it out. :39.120 --> :43.099
I read it cover to cover and I feel awful. :43.099 --> :47.060
It was some to do lists, drawings, poetry, and goals.
:47.060 --> :50.610 I feel like I violated his privacy so much.
:50.610 --> :56.170 Not that there were secrets or anything but
he had financial things written out and personal :56.170 --> :57.579
stories written. :57.579 --> :58.670 I feel so dirty.
:58.670 --> :02.029 I’m terrified, I almost let it slip on accident.
:02.029 --> :06.680 I read one of his passwords and it was a place
we went to on a date and when we spoke about :06.680 --> :11.480
that place I barely rily stopped myself from
mentioning that being in his password. :11.480 --> :13.019
Idk what to do. :13.019 --> :18.330
He grew up with 8 siblings so he already had
no experience with privacy and I violated :18.330 --> :20.500
his one private thing. :20.500 --> :27.620 Should I tell him?

I'm looking to propose to my partner shortly. :19.660 --> :22.250
In this sense a wedding is years away. :22.250 --> :26.839
My parents come from a traditional Greek background
and as soon as I told them of the proposal :26.839 --> :31.980
instead of being happy for me they went straight
into talking about the wedding, the procedure, :31.980 --> :37.010
what needs to be done to prepare, who I should
pick as best man based on the culture, and :37.010 --> :38.970
finances for the wedding. :38.970 --> :42.830
My parents believe that they should put in
half and my partners parents put in half. :42.830 --> :47.680
We never asked for money and are perfectly
happy paying for our wedding ourselves. :47.680 --> :53.160
My partners parents however are not in a good
financial situation and we told my parents :53.160 --> :58.180
this was the case and that they could not
contribute and if they did it wouldn't be :58.180 --> :00.649
much and we will pay for the other half. :00.649 --> :06.079
My parents from this were insistent on a formal
sit down to discuss finances with them. :06.079 --> :10.350
We told my parents this wasn't a good idea
and would just make them feel horrible for :10.350 --> :15.160
not having as much to give and said if they
did give anything it would simply be a gift :15.160 --> :17.290
during the planning process. :17.290 --> :21.850
My parents could not accept this and felt
we were telling them who they can and can't :21.850 --> :26.940
talk to, being disrespectful and got very
upset and didn't speak to us for a week. :26.940 --> :31.210
They were still insistent that they needed
to know how much they can contribute and for :31.210 --> :35.740
us to apologize for saying who they can and can't speak to.
:35.740 --> :40.740 My father kept messaging putting the blame
on us telling us to just apologize to keep :40.740 --> :45.310
the peace, that this is a test to see how
respectful my partner would be to her future :45.310 --> :46.649
in laws. :46.649 --> :50.790
Eventually it got too much and I told them
I just needed some space for my mental health. :50.790 --> :55.339
They called frantically to make sure I was
ok and said they don't care about this whole :55.339 --> :58.339
thing and just wanted to make sure I was ok. :58.339 --> :04.279
I told them ok let's drop this whole thing
and move forward, they agreed then immediately :04.279 --> :09.130
started back into the argument talking about
how they felt and how it was disrespectful :09.130 --> :10.280
what we did. :10.280 --> :14.640
I told them this isn't dropping it and can we please drop it and move forward.
:14.640 --> :19.430 They agreed again and then got straight back
into initial argument again. :19.430 --> :24.830
This went on to happen 4 times until they
hung up, sent me a message saying I've ruined :24.830 --> :30.370
the family and it's clear I want nothing to
do with them and to go out separate ways in :30.370 --> :31.370 life.
:31.370 --> :32.370 I did not respond. :32.370 --> :36.800
The next day my dad messaged me saying again
that this was a test in a way for my partner :36.800 --> :41.459
and how she would treat them and that he would
send me an email with their thoughts on everything.
:41.459 --> :46.620 At this point my health is severely deteriorating
and the stress pushed me to simply block them :46.620 --> :51.370
on everything, they won't move forward, they
won't stop trying to prove they are right. :51.370 --> :55.830
My question is whether I made the right decision
blocking and if I could have done anything :55.830 --> :59.710
better or differently? :59.710 --> :07.640 Posted by

:16.370 --> :33.320 I (31F) think :33.320 --> :37.460
my bf (30M) comments are control tactics [new] :37.460 --> :43.160
We’ve been off and on for 7yrs, one recurring
issue is clothing, anytime I wear something :43.160 --> :48.440
remotely “daring” he gets an attitude
and starts to act weird, and eventually leads :48.440 --> :49.610
to an argument. :49.610 --> :54.180
We were at Starbucks and everything was fine
until we got to the register and his mood :54.180 --> :59.139
changed, I asked if he wanted anything and
he kept saying no but wouldn’t look at me, :59.139 --> :03.269
I asked what was wrong, he said nothing but I knew at some point he would say.
:03.269 --> :07.459 On the drive home he said “everywhere we
go you always try to make eye contact with :07.459 --> :12.970
other men”, he’s accused me before of trying to “eye fcuk” men in public, once
:12.970 --> :18.329 at a grocery store and he said “it’s a
man thing you’ll never understand, they’ll :18.329 --> :19.380
think they can have you”. :19.380 --> :24.660
For reference I have Audhd, I also try to
be have more situational awareness after my :24.660 --> :30.220
bff was murdered by a man who stalked us,
it haunts me so I constantly feel like I need :30.220 --> :31.220

My (33F) fiancé feels my sister (35f) has
constantly disrespected her whenever we are :05.820 --> :07.699
around and wants me to cut her off. :07.699 --> :09.839
I feel torn, I need some help. :09.839 --> :11.420 [new] I am (31M).
:11.420 --> :18.579 My (33F) fiancé feels my sister (35) is constantly
disrespecting her whenever we are around and :18.579 --> :20.080
wants me to cut her off. :20.080 --> :22.130
I feel torn, need some help. :22.130 --> :26.440
I’ve been with my fiancé for going on 5
years and she has a son who I’ve known since :26.440 --> :28.670
he was a year old and he’s now 5. :28.670 --> :33.570
It’s been relatively great relationship
and I love her and you know someone I want :33.570 --> :34.970
to spend my life with. :34.970 --> :38.750
We have some normal fights here and there,
and she didn’t have the greatest upbringing :38.750 --> :43.639
(abusive parents and all that) but she is an amazing woman regardless.
:43.639 --> :48.020 Our main issue and our biggest fight that
reoccurs is she feels my older sister is very :48.020 --> :49.740
disrespectful to her. :49.740 --> :54.449
I admit I have never said anything to my sister
(I’m not the most confrontational person) :54.449 --> :55.779
but examples: :55.779 --> :59.360
She wouldn’t shake her hand when she first
met, just looked her up and down and went :59.360 --> :01.089
back to talking to my mom. :01.089 --> :04.520
Wouldn’t acknowledge her when we were leaving
their house after she tried saying thank you :04.520 --> :08.639
for having us, only stopping to acknowledge
her son when she sent him to say goodbye the :08.639 --> :09.829
final time. :09.829 --> :14.360
Makes small subtle jabs, I don’t hear them
all but she views them as disrespectful and :14.360 --> :15.690
I believe her. :15.690 --> :18.170
Only shows an interest when we go over there to her son.
:18.170 --> :22.130 (He’s the cute new kid, she has two kids
herself and her boyfriend has two kids as :22.130 --> :23.130 well)
:23.130 --> :27.819 I could go on with more examples, but also
my fiancé thinks my sister puts on the facade :27.819 --> :30.070
of who she is as a person. :30.070 --> :34.980
My sister comes off as a very social media
poster and seems just all the does is for :34.980 --> :36.370
likes and stuff. :36.370 --> :41.269
My sisters ex husband was caught (not in jail,
got busted cause he was talking to an adult :41.269 --> :46.740
posing as a minor) trying to talk to a minor
for sex and she still has her kids go with :46.740 --> :47.740 him.
:47.740 --> :53.990 My fiancé just feels my sister is very fake/vain
and also disrespectful to her and even me. :53.990 --> :58.690
(I’ve always felt my sister was the favored
child ahead of me and she got a lot more from :58.690 --> :00.290
my parents then from me. :00.290 --> :04.709
I admit again I haven’t talked to my sister
about this and now it’s gotten to the point :04.709 --> :09.939
of do I have to cut my sister off atleast for the mean time, or lose my fiancé?

My girlfriend (27F) guilting me (25M) into paying more often
:18.400 --> :21.169 [new]
My girlfriend guilting me into spending more? :21.169 --> :32.020
TLDR: My girlfriend is not the most financially savvy, while I am frugal.
:32.020 --> :51.169 She finds herself paycheck to paycheck, and
has since subtly compared me to her friends :51.169 --> :55.419
boyfriends who routinely cover every paid activity for them.
:55.419 --> :59.230 See my previous post for a more detail on
our financial status. :59.230 --> :04.320
That said, my girlfriend who makes a moderate,
but not significantly less than me is always :04.320 --> :09.630
complaining about not having enough money,
not having enough places to cut back etc. :09.630 --> :15.280
this is not entirely true - she spends a lot
of money on high end “wants” serious monthly :15.280 --> :21.200
hair, top shelf makeup, nails, and routinely goes on out of state/country trips.
:21.200 --> :25.890 Just the other day, she complained that she’s
“crying” over money now (on the tail end :25.890 --> :28.200
of a long weekend trip with her friends). :28.200 --> :33.100
She then “proposed” that for her upcoming
date night that she could just not eat to :33.100 --> :34.950
avoid her side of the bill. :34.950 --> :40.150
She then went on to say essentially “all
of my friend’s boyfriends pay for everything, :40.150 --> :43.159
and I know we don’t always do that but that’s okay.”
:43.159 --> :48.440 I told her if she had just asked I would cover
the date, but if vaguely sounds like she’s :48.440 --> :51.060
guilting me and I didn’t appreciate it. :51.060 --> :55.570
I don’t care about paying for dates - but
it’s irritating to me she cries that she’s :55.570 --> :00.760
got no money for a prospective joint expense
when she spends exorbitant amounts on herself :00.760 --> :03.390
alone, and través frequently. :03.390 --> :05.549
Essentially - I don’t care about paying for dates. :05.549 --> :10.250
I do care that she will be complaining about
not enough money for serious expenses down :10.250 --> :15.250
the road due to inability to abstain from high end personal “wants.”
:15.250 --> :16.340 Thoughts? :16.340 --> :23.409
How do I bring this up? :23.409 --> :42.169 Posted by u/plainjain00
:42.169 --> :00.940 2 days ago :00.940 --> :06.520
I 24F can’t take men seriously due to history of unwanted attention
:06.520 --> :08.890 [new] A friend of mine suggested I post my dilemma
:08.890 --> :10.700 here so here goes. :10.700 --> :17.000
I'm a 24F, and I've had to deal with unwanted
sexual attention from men for pretty much :17.000 --> :18.850
as long as I can remember. :18.850 --> :22.740
It's gotten to a point where I don't know
how to navigate relationships anymore because :22.740 --> :24.500
of how sick it makes me feel. :24.500 --> :30.620
I want to make it clear that when I say sexualised
I'm talking about comments, advances, and :30.620 --> :35.230
moves that have been made by just about every man I've encountered post-puberty.
:35.230 --> :38.870 To clarify, this goes beyond close family
and school staff. :38.870 --> :43.590
These encounters involve people I've worked
with, strangers on the street, classmates, :43.590 --> :48.720
tutors, people who I thought were friends, and even extended family members.
:48.720 --> :52.960 I consider myself reserved, and I make an
effort to dress modestly, but none of that :52.960 --> :54.240
seems to deter it. :54.240 --> :00.400
The language that's been thrown my way has
been truly nasty, and I genuinely don't invite :00.400 --> :02.179
this kind of attention. :02.179 --> :06.309
Comments about my face and my body, things they would like to do to me.
:06.309 --> :10.960 I simply do not understand how I could be
attracting that kind of attention especially :10.960 --> :13.279
for them to be saying it to my face. :13.279 --> :19.470
The idea of having a simple platonic male
friend feels like a distant dream – it's :19.470 --> :22.700
like a waiting game for when they'll cross the line.
:22.700 --> :28.370 It's affecting my view of men, painting them
as nothing but desperate creeps, which I know :28.370 --> :30.780
is a generalisation I need to address. :30.780 --> :34.010
I'm struggling with this growing resentment and anger.
:34.010 --> :38.419 I can't take men seriously anymore when they
express interest, because it feels like they're :38.419 --> :41.210
just trying to manipulate me into giving them what they want.
:41.210 --> :44.620 It's like I can see through their act, and
it infuriates me. :44.620 --> :49.529
I find myself questioning their intentions
and viewing them as nothing more than animalistic. :49.529 --> :52.299
I'm starting to worry about how this will affect my future.
:52.299 --> :56.490 I want to be in a healthy relationship, but
I don't know if these feelings I've developed :56.490 --> :58.390
towards men will allow it. :58.390 --> :03.880
Don't get me wrong, I'm physically attracted
to them, but the constant frustration is overwhelming.
:03.880 --> :05.690 How do I move forward from this?
:05.690 --> :10.990 How can I learn to trust men again and engage
in a relationship without this cloud of negativity :10.990 --> :20.130
hanging over me? :20.130 --> :45.030 Posted by u/Puzzleheaded_Fact330
:45.030 --> :09.930 1 day ago :09.930 --> :14.700
I (17M) have a new stepsister (16F). :14.700 --> :17.180
It seems like she is trying to anger me on purpose.
:17.180 --> :19.970 [new] I live with my father (48M).
:19.970 --> :24.580 My mother passed away 8 years ago and it's
been just the two of us since then. :24.580 --> :28.429
After my mother passed away, my father was
basically a shell of his former self and it :28.429 --> :31.000
took him years to get back on his feet. :31.000 --> :33.620
Around 3 years ago my dad met Lisa (47? :33.620 --> :34.620 45?
:34.620 --> :36.190 Sorry, I don't remember).
:36.190 --> :39.500 They met randomly during one of my father's
work trips and hit it off. :39.500 --> :41.049 They dated for 2 years.
:41.049 --> :46.840 I was initially indifferent and a bit on the
fence but she makes my father happy and is :46.840 --> :50.210
pretty chill as a person so I started supporting them.
:50.210 --> :55.360 During their dating period, I found out Lisa
has a daughter from a previous marriage, Marica :55.360 --> :56.960
(16F). :56.960 --> :01.260 I met her only once during a dinner and we
basically didn't speak at the time. :01.260 --> :05.240
She didn't look particularly interested in
knowing each others and I'm not exactly a :05.240 --> :06.669
talkative person. :06.669 --> :12.370
Last year my father proposed to Lisa, she
said yes and 6 months ago they got married. :12.370 --> :17.549
Lisa and Marica transferred in our house ( the
house is quite big and there was room to spare). :17.549 --> :22.880
Now, it was obviously a big change and I understand
it was quite traumatic since they lived over :22.880 --> :29.090
50 km away and Marica had to change school,
but she has been an unbearable pain in my :29.090 --> :31.919
butt since the day we started living together. :31.919 --> :33.309
To name a few things: :33.309 --> :37.000
- The day they moved in, I went in her room
and told her that I understood it was a big :37.000 --> :41.970
change and that if she wanted to talk about
anything or wanted to know anything about :41.970 --> :46.760
the town or needed anything at all, she simply
needed to ask and I would help her as much :46.760 --> :47.760
as possible. :47.760 --> :51.809
In response, I was rudely kicked out of her room and told to FO.
:51.809 --> :54.950 I was like:" ok, it will take some time."
:54.950 --> :56.580 - I own my own motorbike.
:56.580 --> :57.840 It's a second hand one.
:57.840 --> :01.810 I worked for it and used basically everything
I had to buy it. :01.810 --> :06.240
Since my father and Lisa work in different
places in opposite directions, they both take :06.240 --> :10.780
their car in the morning to go to work, so
the only vehicle left is my motorbike. :10.780 --> :15.640
I told Marica that if she needed a ride somewhere,
I would gladly give her a lift there. :15.640 --> :20.669
She said no and thought the thing ended there,
only to find out she took my motorbike without :20.669 --> :24.650
permission while I was sleeping and went who knows where.
:24.650 --> :30.150 Luckily she was unharmed and my motorbike
was fine, so I wasn't particularly angry but :30.150 --> :32.549
she didn't even apologize for it. :32.549 --> :34.520
- Our house doesn't have many rules. :34.520 --> :39.799
They can be summed up in: clean after yourself
( ex: if you use a plate to eat, wash it and :39.799 --> :44.049
put it back); if you have something that need
to be washed, put it in the laundry basket :44.049 --> :48.779
instead of throwing it on the floor; GFs and
BFs are allowed in the house but it would :48.779 --> :53.760
be appreciated an heads up before bringing
them home, in order to avoid accidents. :53.760 --> :55.500
They are easy rules, right? :55.500 --> :59.250
Well, apparently not since she broke all of them constantly.
:59.250 --> :02.270 - Our parents are often away for a couple of days.
:02.270 --> :07.919 My father often travel for work and Lisa can
work from remote and they enjoy spending some :07.919 --> :11.570
time alone together, so she often go with him when he travel.
:11.570 --> :14.570 During those periods, me and Marica are alone.
:14.570 --> :19.250 I can cook for myself and it doesn't cost
me anything to cook one more meal, so I ask :19.250 --> :23.751
her if she wants something and she either
refuses or accept but act as if she is basically :23.751 --> :26.720
making me a favor for eating my food. :26.720 --> :32.030
I could go on on about other episodes where
she basically did everything she could to :32.030 --> :33.450
pee me and dad off. :33.450 --> :39.250
Lisa and dad tried to talk to her multiple
times but she either acted as if nothing happened :39.250 --> :41.850
or didn't give a dang about what they were saying. :41.850 --> :45.330
In the past few weeks it looked like she had calmed down.
:45.330 --> :50.190 She still had her sharp tongue and her irritating
way of speaking but she looked calmer. :50.190 --> :54.380
She went out with friends, she stopped trying
to anger me on purpose, it looked like she :54.380 --> :58.710
and dad were getting along better and we even
found ourself joking with each other during :58.710 --> :59.960
lunch and dinner. :59.960 --> :04.860
But then yesterday I found her snooping around
in my room, looking at my books and touching :04.860 --> :05.860
my stuff. :05.860 --> :10.149
I don't know what she was looking for and
she basically ran away the moment she saw :10.149 --> :11.149 me.
:11.149 --> :13.581 I intend to question her about it when she
come back home today. :13.581 --> :14.581 Posted by

:15.581 --> :16.581 My (23F) bf (25M) has been crossing boundaries
with a female coworker and refuses to acknowledge :16.581 --> :17.581
it is emotional cheating. :17.581 --> :18.581 [new]
My (23F) bf (25M) works in an office environment. :18.581 --> :19.581
I know he is good friends with his office
department team as they are all close in age :19.581 --> :20.581
and get along well. :20.581 --> :21.581
I trust my boyfriend and I know he loves me. :21.581 --> :22.581
We have been together for about 3 months. :22.581 --> :23.581
However my boyfriend can sometimes be too friendly.
:23.581 --> :24.581 He thinks it‘s okay to engage in excessive
banter with female coworkers. :24.581 --> :25.760
I told him it can be seen as flirting but
he says that he can’t go around being rude :25.760 --> :26.760
to everyone he meets. :26.760 --> :28.140
Yesterday he called me and started asking my advice on a female coworker.
:28.140 --> :29.140 He said that before me and him started dating,
that coworker used to “banter” with him :29.140 --> :30.140
all the time and would stare at him all day. :30.140 --> :31.340
I told him it was likely she had a crush on him. :31.340 --> :33.130
He said he was confused as she becomes hot and cold towards him.
:33.130 --> :35.690 At this point I was getting upset as he had
been talking about her for the past 30-40 :35.690 --> :36.690
minutes and asking me to analyse her behaviour. :36.690 --> :37.690
I told him it was making me uncomfortable
and upset that he was obsessing over her behaviour :37.690 --> :38.690
when he said he loved me. :38.690 --> :39.690
I told him he needed to draw clear lines and be professional.
:39.690 --> :40.690 He told me I was overreacting.
:40.690 --> :41.690 Then he revealed that although he doesn’t
interact with workers from other departments, :41.690 --> :42.690
everyone thought him and the female coworker
were dating as they were always flirting. :42.690 --> :43.690
This made me very upset as if you’re flirting
so much that other workers who don’t even :43.690 --> :44.690
know you notice then obviously you’re going overboard.
:44.690 --> :45.690 Boundaries are being crossed.
:45.690 --> :46.690 He told me I was overreacting and that he
didn’t appreciate me accusing him of cheating :46.690 --> :47.860
and that he’s not a cheater. :47.860 --> :49.370
In my opinion it is emotional cheating as he’s constantly flirting with her.
:49.370 --> :52.140 Also, apparently that female coworker does
not talk to other men in the office, only :52.140 --> :53.140 him.
:53.140 --> :55.140 How do I make him understand my perspective?
:55.140 --> :58.470 I was hoping to show the answers from this thread.
:58.470 --> :03.140 I don’t want to feel like I’m overreacting
for wanting him to establish boundaries. :03.140 --> :04.140 Posted by
u/Timber2BohoBabe :04.140 --> :05.140 2 days ago
:05.140 --> :09.779 My(36F) partner 37M disclosed to me that a
sexual harassment complaint has been lodged :09.779 --> :11.600
against him at work. :11.600 --> :12.600 What would you do?
:12.600 --> :13.600 [new]
TL;DR - Husband confessed to workplace harassment, :13.600 --> :14.600
but I am wondering if he told me the full story... :14.600 --> :17.250
My husband and I have been married since our
early twenties, and he has cheated on me one :17.250 --> :20.250
time before we were married when we were just out of high school.
:20.250 --> :24.940 He confessed it to me even though it was unlikely
he would have ever been found out. :24.940 --> :28.390
We went through a difficult period in our marriage about 6 months ago.
:28.390 --> :32.169 We were still together, but we weren't sure
whether we would be staying together. :32.169 --> :36.710
Last week my husband came to me and explained
that he has been formally reprimanded from :36.710 --> :39.460
HR for sexual harassment. :39.460 --> :44.010
He said that during that rough patch, he was
closing up the office and a co-worker he was :44.010 --> :46.210
friends with was also working late. :46.210 --> :50.240
They were talking and he asked if he could kiss her, she said no.
:50.240 --> :54.370 He says that he has done his best to stay
away from her since then, partially due to :54.370 --> :59.570
it being awkward and partially because he
realized as soon as she said no that it was :59.570 --> :00.990
a major misstep. :00.990 --> :05.520
Anyways, although he was formally reprimanded,
he has worked for the company for years and :05.520 --> :07.970
his job is not in any danger. :07.970 --> :12.440
He asked for a department transfer, which
is something he wanted anyways, but now the :12.440 --> :13.900
office might agree. :13.900 --> :15.690 So that stuff isn't the issue.
:15.690 --> :20.730 I have no reason to think he is lying, but
I am curious whether all he asked was to kiss :20.730 --> :21.730 her.
:21.730 --> :25.400 Would she really have kept quiet about a kiss
request for half a year? :25.400 --> :29.490
I want to reach out and get her side of the
story (we are acquaintances from office parties :29.490 --> :33.649
and such) but I am worried it would get him in more trouble at work.
:33.649 --> :38.470 I know he wouldn't have pushed himself physical
on someone, but I can see him propositioning :38.470 --> :40.679
someone beyond a kiss. :40.679 --> :41.750 What would you do?
:41.750 --> :45.480 Would you just take him at his word since
he has never lied before about this kind of :45.480 --> :46.480 thing?
:46.480 --> :49.549 Would you reach out to the other person to
see if the stories align? :49.549 --> :52.330 Should I just drop it? | give me a good story on rRelationshipsISMYBOYFRIENDCHEATINGONMEWITHHISCOWORKERRedditStoriesen |

AIT for blocking my dad from getting disability my 22f dad 50 male has never
been a part of my life he and my mom 41f got pregnant with me when she was only
18 and he was in his late 20s not sure his exact age but it was a big age Gap
they never really dated seriously but slept together on an off resulting in me
and my brother 20 male being born my mom also had another daughter with someone
else my sister 19f her dad passed when she was a baby after my brother was born
my dad dipped only popping up maybe twice a year until I was about five and
then it became even less and my mom put him on child support which he has never
paid to my knowledge maybe a payment once every couple years or so but
definitely not enough to support two kids my mom wasn't able to get Social
Security for my other sister's father because he was not listed on her birth
certificate for complicated reasons which left my mom 2223 with three kids
also before anyone makes a comment yes my mom didn't always make great choices
but she did her best and no support from the other parent the way my dad got out
of paying child support was by dealing IL legal Tila substance it like the
kinds that aren't legal anywhere so he technically made no income for the state
to pull child support from his checks and he just avoided the payments he was
in jail all throughout my life and when he wasn't he would give the classic I'll
come pick you and your brother up tomorrow only to leave us sitting on the
steps outside time and time again now as an adult I suffer from extreme
abandonment issues SL anxious attachment disorder which through therapy has been
traced back to his inconsistency and absence in my life I watched my mom's
struggle as we lived in dirty roach infested homes because he wouldn't offer
her any kind of help to ease it even a little bit I cut contact with him fully
when I was 17 when he blamed me for us not having a relationship because I
always had school and he hasn't made much effort to contact me since
thankfully so here's where I might be considered an he messaged my mom
today saying he needs to be on dis disability I don't know why but in order
for him to get the disability he needs the tens of thousands in back child
support to be either paid off or for my mom to remove the aers from his account
essentially wiping the Slate completely clean for him if she doesn't and he
applies anyways the checks would go to my mom until the balance is paid off if
that were the case my mom is in a good financial position now BC she worked her
ass off and doesn't need the money and would most likely just give it to me and
my brother and is a 22-year-old who's self-employed and lives alone in this
economy I could use every penny of it my mom told me that it's up to me and my
brother to decide if she wants us to remove the AAR and my brother just said
it was up to me and he'll do the same he
really doesn't care about much LOL but I worry that by blocking him from getting
it I'm being aist or evil or something probably just oldest daughter guilt
creeping in because I know that he really doesn't care about me but can you
guys please help me decide if I'm the here or not | give me a good story on Aitaforblockingmydadfromgettingdisabilityorig |

shops where you order at the till and they bring it from the warehouse to the
till and you take it to your car well he called me lazy for wanting to move the

my back out carrying an outdoor table and chairs set to the car he bered
whilst we waited in the calling me lazy saying he didn't realize he married

aita for telling my dad and his wife I don't know what her daughter is into my
dad got married three years ago to Josie my sisters 15f and 13f and I live with
fulltime because our mom died I 17m kind of stepped up because Dad was never the
most involved parent and after mom died he still wasn't great with parenting
stuff he got married again 4 years after mom died Josie and her daughter 15f
moved in with us so Josie is basically the same as dad not that involved
actually she seems less involved than my dad but what I didn't know is she
expected me to take on her daughter as a
sister and be there for her like I am my
sisters which didn't happen I don't hate
her but I see josy's daughter as someone I'm in a forced roommate situation with
not family I see Josie the same way I don't do stuff for josy's daughter like
I do my sisters sometimes I'll buy them something I know they'll like as a treat
normally one at a time since I'm only working weekends my dad and Josie never
checked on her daughter or that we'd all gotten close then Josie got a call from
the school that her daughter was being bullied and going through a rough time
Josie decided to spoil her daughter and asked me what stuff her daughter liked
slash was into I didn't know and I told her she called Dad in and she asked me
again and I said I didn't know I don't spend time with her daughter they
brought up the stuff I | give me a good story on AITAfortellingmydadandhiswifeIdontknowwhatherdaughterisintoorig |

for work that evening and the police department sent someone to go knock on
his door they found the house ransacked and his dad lying in bed with a single
gunshot wound to the Head deceased later

AIT for storming out of my husband's kids birthday party I'm sorry in advance
for the long post I f29 have been married to my husband M31 for a little
over 5 years now but we have been together since I was 21 and he was 23
here is some backstory just to get all of the information out there from the
very beginning of our relationship I was very clear that I didn't want kids and
he agreed with me there was never any discussion of having kids when we were
dating and I really thought we were on the same page but about a year onto our
marriage my husband started trying to C casually float the idea talking about
how a lot of his friends were starting families and having kids and he asked me
if maybe we should start considering it I didn't really think he was serious at
first but he started bringing it up more often showing me pictures of his
friend's kids and trying to convince me that we should start trying for a baby
after a few months of this I respectfully but firmly shut it down
saying my mind had not changed nor would it he was disappointed to say the least
but he told me he loved me and married me knowing I didn't want them so he was
okay with that I thought that was the end of it but a little over a year into
our marriage he sat me down and told me he had a proposition for me he said his
childhood best friend we will call her Amy and her husband had been struggling
to conceive and recently found out her husband was infertile Amy had asked my
husband if he could be their sperm donor as she wanted to know who her baby's
father was and didn't want some Anonymous stranger from a sperm bank I
immediately said no that I was not at all comfortable with that that I thought
it was an absurd request and it was especially off-putting because my
husband and Amy used a in college before
he met me he tried to argue with me that it wasn't weird at all that it was
actually the perfect solution to everyone's problems that Amy and her
husband would get to have a baby and he would get to have a kid and I wouldn't
have to be a mom and he wouldn't even have to be a full-time parent I said
absolutely not and we fought about it for about a month eventually he told me
that having a kid was now a deal breaker
for him and if he couldn't have a kid he wasn't sure if he would want to stay
with me I was absolutely shocked and devasted and even though the idea made
me incredibly uncomfortable I caved and said yes because I love my husband more
than life itself and couldn't imagine living life without him I told him he
could do it but I wanted absolutely no involvement with the kid or with am and
her husband from this point forward they went through the whole process and had
the kid and my husband kept true to his word I had no involvement I never met
the kid and other than him occasionally taking a weekend to spend time with his
kid at their place everything went back to normal fast forward to last week my
husband came up to me and asked me to come to his kids birthday party at Amy
and her husband's house I told him no that the deal was I wanted absolutely
nothing to do with any of them and wanted no part in anything relating to
the kid he kept pushing the issue saying that he really wanted me there because
he loves me and I was important to him and he wanted me to be there for his
happy memory he begged and pleaded and I
ended up saying yes the day of the party came and I was super uncomfortable from
the moment we got there it was mostly Amy and her husband's friends and
neighbors and all of their kids and my husband was glued to Amy's side the
second he walked through the door I ended up hanging around the edges of the
Gathering trying to be invisible and getting more and more uncomfortable my
breaking point was when I looked over and saw my husband at the table playing
with his kid on his lap and Amy's arms around his shoulder laughing I looked
around at this entire second life and second family my husband had and it
became too much for me and I ran out the door crying my husband saw me and ran
out after me asking what was wrong I told him how uncomfortable I was that I
never wanted to come to the party and seeing that he has built an entirely
separate family and life apart for me was too much and that I wanted to go
home he started yelling at me that he wasn't going to leave his kids birthday
party and that if I knew I was going to have break down over it I should have
just stayed home by this point the party guests had started coming out to see
what the fuss was and he started yelling at me that I was embarrassing him in
front of everyone and ruining his kids day he told me to get myself together
and stormed back inside and told everyone to forget about me and come
back in and enjoy the party I ended up calling myself a lift to my parents
house across town and I've been staying here since my husband's tried texting me
an apology but I'm still really upset and hurt and told him I need space I've
been getting messages on Facebook and Instagram from some of my husband's
friends saying I completely overreacted and ruined the party and that I
shouldn't have left the way I did am I the here | give me a good story on AITAHforstormingoutofmyhusbandskidsbirthdayparty |

AIT for telling my stepdaughter why we don't speak to my side of the family I
32f am married to my husband 34m he has a 14 years/ old daughter from a previous
marriage we got started dating a year and a half ago and got married 6 months
ago I am no contact with my family my stepdaughter only asked about my family
a few times since I've known her and my husband and we've made excuses as to why
we couldn't see them in the moment my sister is 25 but when she was around 13
she was at a sleepover that was co-ed as a few of the boys lied and saying they
were going to other boy house my sister had always had troubling signs of
behavior in elementary and middle school such as getting detention for getting
into fights or being a bully and my parents worked on her with this through
using anti-bullying videos but never seriously punished her she would use the
nword despite being white and used homophobic slurs Etc at this sleepover
my sister brought some type of alcohol or drug to the party my parents changed
their story when I asked and our pet one of the boys my sister was in some sort
of treatment for a while but never got any harsh punishment we grew up very
well often any time my sister did something bad she never faced any legal
repercussions either my Mom and Dad tried to see if any trauma may have
caused these actions see if anyone in our family or a peer or a teacher hurt
her before but nothing was found my sister has always insisted nothing
happened to her and when she was 13 just mentioned how she was upset the boy
didn't like her back shortly after this after my sister was still getting in
trouble at school and at home I told my parents that they needed to get her in
shape or I wouldn't come home as much this led to a massive argument and it
was the last time I spoke to them I am now pregnant with a baby with my husband
her stepdad this kid will be my stepdaughter's half sibling obviously
last week when we told my stepdaughter I was pregnant she asked if we told the
rest of the family yet including my side of the family and she started asking
about if she would finally meet them we told her that we were still deciding on
when to tell everyone my husband and I talked later that night and decided she
was ready to hear the story of my family we told her later that night and she
seemed pretty upset and asked why people would be that evil we tried to explain
to her the best we could on how we don't know what motivated my sister or my
parents to do what they did but unfortunately they decided to protect
and enable an abuser my husband was asking his parents for advise the next
day and they blew up at us they told us at 14 she was too young to know about
these things and we should have either come up with another excuse or lie to
her about why we don't speak to them they said we were ruining our
granddaughter's innocence and are very upseted they also asked about how my
side of the family would feel about me airing out the laundry we're now
wondering if we went to far and if we were being a-holes | give me a good story on AITAfortellingmystepdaughterwhywedontspeaktomysideofthefamilyorig |

today we have a crazy story of revenge against somebody's own parents we'll get
into that in a bit but first teaching my
friend a lesson everything comes in twos The Duality of existence life and death
left and right good and bad Concepts and their opposites exist across the board
from morals to physics nature Direction religion and so on sometimes we think
the opposite of one thing is its consequence that the effect at the end
of the cause is what is the conflict of it a good example is love and I use love
because that is where we're going with this the opposite of love is not hate
hate is the byproduct of Love betrayed or lost hate is greatest when the love
that births it abounds hate is not the opposite of Love on the summer of the
best and most contradicting year of my life so far I'm Ed Margaret and by God
she was the most beautiful person I'd ever seen she had the mind of an artist
a laugh like summer rain in the eyes of an adventurer her eyes were soft like
pressed velvet and her skin smooth like bronze silk ethereal and I was more than
prepared to give whatever I had to have her be mine so of course it was by the
hands of my best friend I lost her a friend I'd known since my legs were
strong enough to hold my full weight they are with me through my shoulders
learning to carry the full weight of my failures and finally here is I fall in
love with the first woman with whom I'd ever chosen to settle down with I was in
it with her for the long ride and there he was lusting over her in the
proverbial back seat of the car we met at the party like most people do I had
been getting my ear talked off by a guy I'd given my lighter to use about the
complexities of ending things being recorded in men now don't get me wrong I
care about many and our many trials and tribulations that are mostly inflicted
on ourselves that was just neither the time nor the place to have a
conversation about it luckily David walks over to me holding red disposable
cup of beer with someone in tow I do a double will take and there she is the
beginning of my downfall he introduces us and shoes The Stranger away much to
their confusion and much to my relief because I wasn't sure how long I could
have held out she was a star and I was a planet there to bask in her light my
relationship with Margaret started out very simple we got to know each other
better through meeting David's setup finding out we had a lot more than I
assumed we had in common was possibly one of the best things that could have
happened for me she laughed at my jokes where David would tease me about being
horrible at jokes she makes me laugh more than I'd ever laughed I see the
looks David gives us and laugh at his visible disgusted the way we interact we
don't start dating until a month after we met to say that it was the best time
I'd ever spent with another person would
be an understatement we went on the most wonderful dates some of them planned by
her we had the most fun activities that we occasionally invited David for it was
beautiful there were times where we'd fight over the dumbest thing but the
arguments never lasted we were a team we fought our problems together we
sometimes literally fought other people that try to get at either one of us she
took me on adventures I don't think I would have ever experienced without her
but there's a saying about things and coming to an end she wanted a pet cat I
told her I didn't think I could ever take care of a small animal she had
laughed at that she told me all her dreams all the movies she couldn't wait
to watch all the places she couldn't wait to see and she promised she
promised to show me all the magic of those places I remember the day it
happened very clearly the day everything
went to heck and if I ever forget how it happened I will never forget by whose
hands it did I'd woken up late because of the workload I had the night before
Margaret and I hadn't seen each other for a week but we'd been in contact
until the last two days which I had assumed had to do with her work that
morning though my phone was full of message images and more seem to be
coming in I at first thought it was of work but the number of messages coupled
by the places and people they were coming from made me suspicious then I
opened one of the messages to see a video this was where it started this was
where it all went to heck my first mistake was opening the video Margaret's
face stared back at me tears and arise and a look of desperation in her face it
was a video of her hooking up with someone the voice of the other person in
the video didn't register to me at first
all I could see was the look on her face
as she was turned over anger built in my
chest my second mistake was deleting the
video before I called her her phone rang multiple times but no one picked up I'd
become panicked angry and Confused then it clicked the voice I had heard the
voice of the person hooking up with her David days passed without me hearing
anything from Margaret I'd gone over to David's and confronted him he lied that
he was drunk and didn't remember a lot of what happened that night but he never
denied that it had in fact happened I avoided him as much as I could still
looking for a way to contact Margaret to no avail her phone was switched off it
wasn't until two days later that I'd gotten the news her body had been found
Margaret was dead she had ended things it hadn't felt real I had run to her
house hoping to see her smiling and lighting up the room hoping to see the
woman I'd fallen in love with in her element welcoming me with her warm hugs
and a cup of tea she loved tea but she wasn't there there was no one there in
that moment I understood what lost felt like I was hollowed out for days I'd
felt nothing but regret and pain I had woken up one dreary morning forgetting
that I'd lost the sun I'd made tea for two it was a Wednesday we had tea
together on Wednesdays no one came in the door with their spare key no one sat
opposite me with a bright smile and a story of their past week or of Jenny
from accounting so for the last few minutes before it dawned on me that I
was alone I had sat and waited and waited and waited then I'd broken into
tears knocking my tea to the floor then my phone pinged with a notification and
I'd run to it hoping against all hope it was a message from an unknown number I
stood in front of David's parents house my plan was fully done my anger and
hatred my motivation Margaret could not have died for nothing it took a moment
for someone to get to the door it had been Mrs Charter perfect is Mr Charter
home ma'am I'd asked no honey he isn't even better would you like to see him to
which I responded that I had in fact come to see her and would have preferred
to not have had an audience setting up a party was the easy part getting David
and his father to attend was where I had a little bit of a challenge but it
wasn't impossible and I'd found myself doing the impossible lady like waking up
to a world without Margaret or going about my day like none of it had
completely broken me having to see David every other day and pretend like I
didn't like I didn't want to watch him suffer in the most creative ways was the
hardest part but here I stood having made it to the end once David and his
father had arrived and gotten into the groove of the party I had made my
appearance this time no longer as a friend this time I came as the fury of
the person he ruined the hate of the person he broke the Vengeance of the
person he killed hello David Mr Charter my voice holds so much hate so much
contempt that I almost don't recognize it then all the lights in the room go
off there's a little bit of a commotion but I inform everyone to calm down and
excuse it as the beginning of a short presentation for an old friend of mine
the projectors come on and the sound system kicks into play first the sounds
of a woman moaning fill the room right by before the video comes on showing Mrs
Charter in loving Embrace of a stranger on her marital bed I see the outrage on
Mr Charter's face and the dismay on David's then I begin my commentary see
the challenge of getting all this done wasn't in getting Mrs Charter to hook up
with a total stranger she was known amongst David's friends as being quite
promiscuous especially flirting with her son's friends the challenge had lay in
mostly convincing her to sleep with someone she didn't know and getting
every second of it filmed on camera which was then edited into the very
wonderful presentation that David and his very enabling father were forced to
watch in a crowd of influential strangers and social media influencers
the look of rage and shame on David's face makes something in me settle some
deep hunger stated but this wasn't about me it was about Margaret who he had
assaulted and recorded and then used an anonymous social media account to post
on for the world to see eventually leading to her taking her life it was
all about the woman he had did the same to are similar and threatened or bribed
into silence through his father so I sat at a safe distance from the isolated
father and son and watched as their world was ruined around them I sat and
watched content that I'd brought down the man who had taken her from me
thinking there would be no consequences I cared not for what happened next if I
lost my job for a stunt like this if I was shamed on social media for stooping
so low or left by all the people who claimed they had cared for me I had lost
the only person who mattered and I would take David down through heck with me
days later I sat on the freshly mowed grass of the cemetery it was a Wednesday
and I'd brought tea I tell her about Francis from Finance I tell her about
David and how he got what he finally got what he deserved I tell her about how
dull the days are now I tell her about how tired I am of everything I tell her
of my hate I tell her how I understood then what the opposite of love was how
hate is only the corruption of Love felt I tell her about the kitten I got that
what makes the days a bit brighter I tell her all the things she would have
laughed about and all the things she's missed out on I tell her I miss her and
as the sun sets I promise to find her across eternity so I can tell her how
much I'd loved her I'm not gonna lie that was quite possibly one of the most
hard-hitting nuclear revenge stories I have ever read it felt like I was
reading a nuclear Revenge story wrapped up in a love letter like op finally had
some catharsis or closure in writing this and pour their whole emotion into
it that said our next story is getting back at my parents I loathed Stanley
Norman but he was a convenient means to an end this is a means that I would have
never been employed if I didn't know about the mutual emotions that ran
through the whole school concerning him and if my plan worked well I would have
what I wanted and I would never have to talk to Stanley Norman again so against
my better judgment and the astonishment of my friends and everyone in the
cafeteria including Stanley I approached
him one day at lunch I stood in front of him with a big smile and extended my
strawberry juice toward him I had noticed earlier that someone beat him to
the last one and he looked a bit sad he took it with a shy look and a silent
thank you one I had to strain my ears to hear I took a seat opposite him and
smiled waiting for him to take a sip of the juice before I spoke I could feel
everyone's gaze burning into the back but I refuse to indulge them the last
thing I wanted was to lose my wit by locking my Gaze on someone else Stanley
took a sip of the juice and smiled and then he asked what I was doing so far
away from my table I told him I came to apologize for the other day that I made
him fall in the hallway technically it was my friend Annika who did that but I
was there and didn't say anything so I'm was just as guilty he waved his hand to
dismiss it not saying anything in case I was playing a prank on him I really
wasn't the prank I was playing was on myself we started talking and funny
enough Stanley was not such a dork after all after the bell rang indicating the
end of lunch I invited him to see a movie with me at first he declined not
wanting any trouble but I insisted that there was no one for him to get in
trouble with after much thought and a Sprinkle of charm on my path he finally
agreed and just like that my plans started to take form I knew it wouldn't
take long for the news to spread around school that Stanley and I were going to
see a movie to speed up the process I told the worst gossip in school Trinity
my friend had a knack for gossip which was why I never told her anything
relevant about my life the last thing I wanted was my business out in the open
for snobbish kids to pick on but she proved herself useful because before the
close of school I was called into the principal's office where my parents and
and Stanley's parents were seated way to go mum you had to go all out for this
one mission accomplished the only thing I was sorry about was putting the
principal and Stanley in the middle of this but I had achieved what I wanted or
so I thought after my parents inquired about Stanley and why he'd forced
himself on me and stolen my juice I was dumbfounded was that how the story had
been embellished I tried to clear the air and tell them what happened but no
one believed me especially since no student had come out as a witness
including my friends later when I confronted them about it Annika said she
was looking out for me and didn't want to soil my reputation in true character
my mom managed to make everything about herself and how she should restrict me
more like my life wasn't already restricted enough she also promised not
to press charges because it was her anniversary week and she was in a good
mood after the principal thanked her for being a good sport and we were on our
way home she berated me for throwing absurd Tantrums she informed me that she
didn't have time for my Shenanigans and that the last person I should be hanging
around was Stanley Norman then she forgot about me literally it was almost
as if I wasn't in the car anymore or lived in the same house with her but I'd
gotten what I wanted even though I craved more for once I had stirred her
attention in my direction and I was going to enjoy it throughout high school
because that was all I got after the next time my parents paid attention to
what was happening in my life was when my college boyfriend Matthias proposed
to me he was a good looking man with a solid career in finance and a Heart full
of love for me meeting Matthias was one of the best things that ever happened to
me his attention to my needs and wants his continuous checking up on me and the
fact that he loved my weird taste in music it was such a relief to be able to
listen to music and not be questioned about why you chose a particular song
Matthias was the other half that I needed but my parents didn't think so
I'd been questioning my decision to take him home for Thanksgiving and it was
when the drama started that I know I should have listened to my instincts
first of all it was the way my parents welcomed us both when we arrived I
clearly remember calling my father several times about our location before
arriving at his house but somehow he forgot all of that he scolded me for
just showing up unannounced and wondered what I would have done if he and my
mother had traveled of course he didn't fail to mention how I'd prevented them
from going on several trips due to having to take care of me I like a
thousand times before apologized for my existence and hugged him in our
especially awkward father and daughter hug I introduced Matthias to him and he
simply stared at him like he was a ghost before moving to the kitchen where my
mother was pretending that she hadn't heard us arrive my parents truly were
the best actors in the world it was like they purposely acted nonchalant
sometimes to piss me off Matthias weirdly looked at me and I just shook my
head because I couldn't begin to explain what it just played out I took our bags
to my old room and came back downstairs to greet my mother she was making her
famous meat pie and salad for dinner a combination I still didn't understand to
this day she looked at Matthias the same way my father had with an air of
indifference she welcomed me a little warmer than usual but still in that
evasive way of hers Matthias and I helped to set the dinner table while my
father brought out the food from the kitchen after everywhere was set up my
mother took a picture to update her many
snobbish friends about what was going on in her life she was such a people
pleaser but then it was working for her because she had many Minions that are
back in call when she was done with her photography we sat down for dinner we
hadn't even taken two bites of dinner before they started bombarding Matthias
with many personal questions it was almost like they had rehearsed
everything before we got there they hardly waited for the poor boy to finish
answering one question before they were hitting him with the next one at some
point Matthias got flustered and had to leave the table people my mother turned
her disappointed Gaze on me and said that she didn't expect me to do any
better then went back to her meal it was so embarrassing they would never allow
me to have breathing room they hated me for my existence and because of that
they didn't want me to have full control they would rather be absent and still
controlling it was suffocating how was I supposed to thrive the humiliating part
was when Matthias left without a goodbye just a flimsy letter wishing me luck
with my parents he hadn't even waited for me to wake up after that incident
and my painful breakup I decided that I'd put up with my parents long enough
so after my graduation the one that they didn't attend I didn't go back home I
wasn't obligated to since they had no control anymore they weren't paying my
fees and that in itself was an escape I didn't look back or feel guilty for not
informing them about anything before disappearing they deserved it I deserved
it I moved in with my friend Sienna her her parents had gifted her an apartment
for her graduation it was exhilarating to be away from the shackles of my
parents but it was also scary because I didn't have control of what happened
next in my life but I was determined to change that and take control of every
single step and with Sienna's help I figured out how to stand on my own two
feet it wasn't easy with all the job rejections and having to work menial
jobs to keep food on our table but what got me through it all was Sienna's
positive attitude and a surprise reconnection with someone from my past
so it happened when I was on a coffee break from work I decided to use the
time to do my pedicure hopefully my boss wouldn't come back earlier than I
expected and need me for anything the appointment took longer than I expected
so I had to rush back to the office before I got fired it was then that the
most hilarious thing happened I slipped on something and instead of trying to
save my behind I stuck my hands out so I wouldn't land on my fresh pedicure the
League of Women would be proud of me but
the entire human race probably knew that it was the dumbest thing I could have
ever have done thankfully before my tush touched the floor someone grabbed me
from behind lo and behold when I caught my breath and was steady enough the face
that greeted me was an unexpected one I don't know how I recognized him because
he looked so much different than when we were in high school but it was Stanley
he grinned at me and like they say in the movies the rest was history meeting
Stanley was a pivotal point in my life and it was a good change I was happy I
was thriving and nothing could spoil my happiness or so I thought until my
parents somehow found me and wiggled their way back into my life my father
had a bad business deal that had taken everything from them they had nowhere to
live had no money to survive on and had used the last bit of it to find me my
first thought had been to turn them away but Stanley stood against it I was
shocked because they hadn't been nice to him in any way and didn't Reserve his
sympathy he assured me that he'd forgiven them for what happened back
then and that they were still my parents despite everything that we'd gone
through after much thought and a lot of persuasion on Stanley's path I decided
to give them another chance but I wasn't about to make it easy for them if they
wanted me to support them until they got back on their feet then they would have
to play by my rules I was about to have my revenge and I didn't care that it was
on the people who had birthed me it wasn't as if they had taken it easy on
me either I laid out my rules to them and told them that if they wanted to
stay with me they would have to live by them my mother protested telling me that
I couldn't restrict her movements as she was still vibrant enough to explore I
informed her that if she wanted to explore she was free to get a job that
would pay for her exploration I was not going to give her a dime to indulge she
of course thought I was bluffing and just wanted to scare them out of the
house I showed her that I meant every word I had said when I was called to a
boutique one day and informed her that her card had been declined she was
appalled at not having enough cash in her account and scolded me for not
sending the money she asked for I calmly informed her that I'd given her an
allowance for the month and that if she wanted anything extra she could work for
it besides she had taught me that a proper lady should have her own source
of income I refused to pay for the clothes she bought and that wasn't me
being mean my mother had always been an impulsive spender if she wanted to buy
things she didn't need she could do it on her own dime when my parents realized
that I wasn't budging with my rules they turned to Stanley they tried to sweet
talk my husband into being on their side my mother even tricked him into taking
her shopping one day when I was away on a work trip Stanley indulged her because
he felt a little bad for them but also to show her that he was a better human
than she was he even introduced my father to some investors that could help
him with his company I questioned if that was a good idea but Stanley assured
me that it was a good idea yeah the sooner they got back on their feet the
sooner they could be out of our lives he didn't like how I was when they were
around it was almost as if they were Doling my brightness I completely agreed
that I wanted them gone but I also wanted him to be careful where Stanley
finally drew the line to their Antics was when one of the investors who was a
good friend of ours informed Stanley that my father had tried to broker a
deal behind Stanley's back Stanley sat my father down and informed him about
what he'd been told and wanted to confirm if it had been true my father
told Stanley that he wasn't a child and didn't need to be micromanaged or
watched like a criminal Stanley calmly told my father that he'd put up with him
and my mother because he had wanted to see if they could become decent people
for once he told them that they didn't deserve me or the life that I'd allowed
them into he wondered how they could be so cruel towards their own child he
informed my mother about the gossip she had been spreading in the estate about
me her own daughter assured her that the woman had come to
express their displeasure because I was a respectable individual in the estate
they looked embarrassed as he exposed all the evil Deeds that they'd been up
to he then calmly delivered the final blow he wasn't going to ask for the
money he'd spent on them back but they were going to exit our lives and never
come back he told them that if they had even tried to contact me he would have
them arrested for fraud since it was obvious they had come to rip us off my
parents tried to plead as they had nowhere else to go but it fell on deaf
ears I told my mother that she could sell all the things she had gotten and
get some extra cash or get a job like every other human being but I was done
being their puppet I had my own life now and they were not going to ruin it for
me it's just sad when your parents try to lean on you like a crutch and say you
know we birthed you or we gave you everything you currently have we made
you exist therefore you owe everything to us as if it somehow truly does work
that way I mean not to mention that these people were horrendous to op and
their Partners all along the way too it's just no surprise that op and their
partner cut them off and said good luck out there in the real world good luck on
the streets but with that being said that's all the time we have for today

WEBVTT Kind: captions Language: en-US :08.160 --> :12.969
How I got all the staff to side with me and my birthday over our boss
:12.969 --> :20.300
Alright, so this story probably isn't as prorevenge
as most others but here we go. This is about :20.300 --> :27.410
my summer job. I have worked there from July
to October for 4 years now and I actually :27.410 --> :31.199
really enjoyed it up until this year. :31.199 --> :37.370
So this job is a seasonal restaurant that
opens up from May to October with June to :37.370 --> :43.940
September being it's main season. It's a great
place for highschool and university students :43.940 --> :51.380
to work there over the summer break. We are
a team of 7 waitresses and a BossLady, who :51.380 --> :56.199
is in charge of us, makes our schedules etc. :56.199 --> :02.240
Every year they struggle to get enough waitresses
even though most of us come back year after :02.240 --> :09.241
year. (This is important later). So this summer
there were two days I wanted to get off. One :09.241 --> :16.630
for a concert and one for my birthday party.
I told BossLady, I wrote it into the calender :16.630 --> :23.920
like I am supposed to and I reminded her again
the week before each. She always said I'd :23.920 --> :31.000
get them off. Well, concert rolls around,
I get my schedule and I'm apparently working :31.000 --> :40.190
that day. I call her she is super sorry but
she needs me that day. Okay, so I sell the :40.190 --> :41.440 ticked.
:41.440 --> :48.489 Then my birthday comes, I get my schedule
and I'm working again that day. I ask her :48.489 --> :54.450
what's up with that and she tells me I didn't
tell her and that she can't let me switch :54.450 --> :00.430
with someone else and that I have to work.
I tell her I can't because I have already :00.430 --> :06.459
made a reservation in a restaurant, some friends
have bought train tickets to visit and I'm :06.459 --> :13.920
also celebrating with a friend so I can't
just cancel. She said it's not her fault and :13.920 --> :18.900
that that is my problem. I was crying HARD that day.
:18.900 --> :25.500 So I made a plan to switch with my colleague,
then called BossLady, she got angry because :25.500 --> :33.410
I didn't ask her first (which I did) and told
me we weren't allowed to. We still switched :33.410 --> :42.130
shifts, I got to my party in time IT was great.
Next day I get to work and some of my coworker :42.130 --> :47.390
tell me that BossLady has been talking s***
about how I didn't tell her I needed the day :47.390 --> :51.990
off and then just switched and how rude that is. :51.990 --> :58.800
I decided then to quit after that season for
good and not to come back next year. I also :58.800 --> :05.790
made sure to be really nice to the other staff
members, waitresses, janitors, EVERYONE for :05.790 --> :13.450
my remaining time there. I brought cake or
pizza or made coffee for everyone every day. :13.450 --> :19.350
I worked super hard to get in more money than
any of my colleagues, which got recognised :19.350 --> :26.120
by BossLady's boss. If I was well liked before, I was loved now.
:26.120 --> :33.660 So the season ends and as usual people ask
if I'm coming back next year. I say no and :33.660 --> :39.940
tell them it's because of BossLady, I cry
a little because I will miss them but I can't :39.940 --> :47.350
take her talking s***, blabla. and everyone
starts to hate her. So I begin to hear that :47.350 --> :53.500
all other waitresses also won't be coming
back because they stand with me and now they :53.500 --> :59.300
will not have any waitresses coming back next
year. They will be in HUGE trouble finding :59.300 --> :05.530
enough staff. Even some of the non service
staff said they wouldn't come back. Last thing :05.530 --> :12.230
I heard is that BossLady's boss was super
angry with her and that she is just a normal :12.230 --> :27.070
waitress now and that the nice secretary lady will be making the schedules now.
:27.070 --> :33.450 Not my revenge, but my professor against cheaters
I took the final for an engineering class :33.450 --> :40.240
this morning. Usually 1 or 2 people will go
to the bathroom during class, however for :40.240 --> :46.560
totally unknown reasons, about half of the
class needed to use the restroom during the :46.560 --> :53.150
exam. Obviously a vast majority of them were
looking up the answers on their phones. This :53.150 --> :58.880
irritated me but I just stayed focused and
barely finished since it was a hard exam. :58.880 --> :04.650
I remembered that there was one particular
problem that was only barely related to the :04.650 --> :11.720
stuff we went over in class where part a was
fairly easy but I had no idea how to do part :11.720 --> :19.410
b. I didn't fret over it too much though,
since that part was only 5 points out of 100. :19.410 --> :25.070
Well our professor who is on the older side
and I would have thought was somewhat ignorant :25.070 --> :32.570
of technology sent us an email just now explaining
his diabolical plan to catch cheaters. :32.570 --> :38.370
Many of the students in this class use chegg
(a website that has answers to lots of homework :38.370 --> :45.080
questions if you're not familiar). To be fair
I have an account too though I only used it :45.080 --> :51.350
for studying and checking homework solutions.
Anyway he explained that he was tired of people :51.350 --> :56.990
going to the bathroom and looking up answers
on their phones so he made the question I :56.990 --> :03.580
mentioned earlier as a trap. He purposely
made part b impossible to solve and about :03.580 --> :10.280
a month before the final, he got a TA with
a chegg account to ask the exact question, :10.280 --> :16.250
which was distinctly worded to be unique.
He then created his own chegg account and :16.250 --> :22.820
answered the question with a bulls*** solution
that seems right at first glance but is actually :22.820 --> :28.520
fundamentally flawed and very unlikely that
someone would make the same assumptions and :28.520 --> :30.500
mistakes independently. :30.500 --> :37.060
He said that out of 99 exams, 14 of them fell
for the trap and that everyone who had his :37.060 --> :43.490
wrong solution on their exam was given a 0
and reported to the university for violating :43.490 --> :49.260
the academic honor pledge they signed on the
front. He also sent an email to all the other :49.260 --> :05.800
professors in our department giving them the list of cheaters.
:05.800 --> :10.720 Hit my car and try to get away? I’ll track
you down and make you pay...double! :10.720 --> :13.509
So I never knew about this community until
now so I’m happy to share my story. This :13.509 --> :14.509
happened a few years ago. :14.509 --> :18.510
So my fiancée at the time (now wife), were
driving around looking for dresses for her :18.510 --> :23.830
bridesmaids to wear for the wedding. We had
been going from place to place looking for :23.830 --> :27.410
something she liked but no luck. :27.410 --> :33.660
We had just finished leaving David’s Bridal
and were leaving the plaza. It had been raining :33.660 --> :39.700
a lot so the roads were slick. As I reached
the intersection of where the plaza met the :39.700 --> :46.400
road to turn out, another car came turning
in. Unfortunately, he didn’t brake soon :46.400 --> :53.640
enough and skidded into the front end of the
driver side. Thankfully Everyone was ok. :53.640 --> :59.480
We got out of our cars and and looked at the
damage. His car (of course) was completely :59.480 --> :06.630
unharmed and mine had a minor dent. He looked
about 45ish and had his son in the car with :06.630 --> :13.699
him. We exchanged names and phone numbers.
He let me know he was on the way to work and :13.699 --> :16.210
I told him we were just wedding shopping. :16.210 --> :23.610
(I was 22 at the time and very naive as to
what to do in case of an accident) he told :23.610 --> :29.030
me that we both seemed pretty busy and that
we should just handle it ourselves since we :29.030 --> :35.270
were both busy. We didn’t call the police
(my mistake) and he told me to get the damage :35.270 --> :38.019
looked at to see what it would cost. :38.019 --> :45.700
I took the car in 2 days later and they quoted
me $1,100 for the bumper to be replaced. I :45.700 --> :50.660
texted him and he told me he will be getting
scholarships in 2 months when he goes back :50.660 --> :57.749
to school and he would be able to pay me in
cash then. I (again naively) told him that’s :57.749 --> :58.920
be fine. :58.920 --> :04.399 A week later I followed up with him about
another estimate I got which was lower than :04.399 --> :12.470
the original ($900) but I got no response.
I texted him again and again for the next :12.470 --> :18.490
few days and nothing. At this point I realized he had bailed.
:18.490 --> :24.980 I came up with a plan to find him. All I had
was his name, a now useless phone number, :24.980 --> :31.019
and a general area of where he worked. I searched
for him on Facebook and was pretty sure I :31.019 --> :37.770
found him. I searched under his family members
and saw what looked to be like his son. My :37.770 --> :44.360
soon to be sister-in-law was 16 and looked
about the same age as his son. I decided to :44.360 --> :46.660
go full on sleuth and go undercover. :46.660 --> :54.379
I used her Facebook and changed her last name
to match theirs. I then messaged the son and :54.379 --> :01.110
told him that I thought we might be cousins.
I asked him some questions about his dad (like :01.110 --> :06.360
name and his job) and told him that my mom
said I have an uncle down there by that name :06.360 --> :12.740
and worked at this guitar shop. He answered
yes that was his dads name and told me the :12.740 --> :15.220
name of the place where his dad worked. :15.220 --> :22.069
I was so relieved I was making progress. The
next day I drove back up near the accident :22.069 --> :28.119
and found where the man worked. I found his
car and took pictures of his license plate. :28.119 --> :34.430
I then took all the info I had and wen to
the courthouse. I filled out paperwork and :34.430 --> :39.130
handed it to the clerk. The clerk told me
they could either mail the form to his work :39.130 --> :48.000
address or if I paid $25 I could have an officer
hand deliver it. 😏 (Of course I paid the :48.000 --> :51.199
$25 just to embarrass him at his place of work). :51.199 --> :56.649
A few weeks later we were summoned to the
court to see if we could work things out before :56.649 --> :03.329
going to an actual hearing. He showed up and
we sat down with a mediator. She explained :03.329 --> :10.279
everything to all of us. I told him I didn’t
want to do this but he stopped responding. :10.279 --> :16.829
He replied that his phone was stolen so he
had to get a new one (in my mind a phone being :16.829 --> :23.449
stolen doesn’t equal changing your phone
number). I knew he was lying. The moderator :23.449 --> :29.949
asked him to step outside. She talked to us
and told us not to trust him because his story :29.949 --> :31.529
didn’t make sense. :31.529 --> :36.860
The mediator invited him back inside and we
read over the terms I listed in the court :36.860 --> :44.850
documents. He was to pay $2400 (I charged
him the original replacement cost, gas from :44.850 --> :51.290
driving back and forth, my time for doing
all this work, and extra just for being an :51.290 --> :56.499
a******). He said he would pay, but didn’t
like that I went to his job and took pictures :56.499 --> :01.360
of his car. I replied I didn’t like that he hit my car.
:01.360 --> :07.170 A few months later he paid the full amount
in cash and had to pay for our court costs :07.170 --> :13.980
as well. I sold the damaged car and took the
cash he gave me to buy another car fully in :13.980 --> :26.499
cash! All in all i benefited from it but next
time I’ll just call the cops and save myself :26.499 --> :35.200
the headache. :35.200 --> :40.980
Steal money from peoples gym bags? Enjoy getting expelled and sent to jail
:40.980 --> :46.019 Many years ago when i was in high school,
Someone in my gym class was stealing out of :46.019 --> :52.660
peoples bags and lockers. Taking money, headphones, jewelry, etc.
:52.660 --> :00.079 I personally had $20 taken out of my locker
and one of my buddies had a $200 pair of headphones
:00.079 --> :06.790 stolen. After that, i decided f*** this, this
guy is going down. :06.790 --> :11.869
Nobody knew who was doing the stealing and
catching the person wasn’t as easy as setting :11.869 --> :17.089
up a camera because video recording was not allowed in the locker room.
:17.089 --> :23.740 So i hatched a brilliant plan; I had this
marker that had a UV light on the back, that :23.740 --> :30.139
wrote invisible writing, and when you shined
the light on the writing, it glowed. My plan :30.139 --> :35.500
was to grab a friend and have him put a big
X written on both sides of a $10 bill with :35.500 --> :39.679
the marker, then leave it in his bag/locker. :39.679 --> :45.829
So right before class ends one day, i pulled
aside a one of my friends and our coach and :45.829 --> :48.600
gave him the bill and told them the plan. :48.600 --> :53.639
The next day, we followed through with the
plan, and at the end of class he checked his :53.639 --> :59.959
bag, and the bill was still there. The next day, same thing.
:59.959 --> :05.559 Finally the following day, he checks his bag
at the end of class and sure enough, it was :05.559 --> :06.559 gone.
:06.559 --> :12.230 We immediately go and tell the coach, and
the coach calls the school’s police officer. :12.230 --> :17.129
The coach then proceeds to tell all of our
classmates to line up with their belongings, :17.129 --> :19.209
and not go anywhere. :19.209 --> :24.429
the cop arrives with several of the deans,
and they proceed to go one by one searching :24.429 --> :28.079
everyones bags and pockets inside out. :28.079 --> :35.439
Sure enough they get to this one guy, and
the cop says “ohhhhh what do we have here?” :35.439 --> :41.920
Turns out, not only did this kid steal the
bill, he had a bag of Weed in his pockets :41.920 --> :42.920 too.
:42.920 --> :49.689 Long story short, dude gets expelled, and
apparently this dude was already on probation :49.689 --> :55.209
and ended up going to a juvenile detention center as well. Double whammy.
:55.209 --> :12.180 Never had any problems with stealing after that. | give me a good story on rprorevengeGeniusProfessorCatchesALLTheCheatersUS |

:11.839 --> :16.590 This story takes place in the 90's, which
was a very different world to live in than :16.590 --> :18.000
what we have today. :18.000 --> :23.160
It was sort of in the middle of the turning
point between borderline abusive tough-love, :23.160 --> :26.550
and the advent of participation trophies. :26.550 --> :30.340
My karate instructor at the time was kind of like Cobra Kai.
:30.340 --> :34.890 Not cartoonishly hardassed, but honestly kind
of leaning in that direction. :34.890 --> :37.399
I'll call him Brassballs. :37.399 --> :41.820
Sparring was light-contact, and while you
were encouraged to actually hit each other, :41.820 --> :44.800
you were of course expected to pull your punches. :44.800 --> :49.750
And everyone wore full sparring gear, pads, cup, mouth guard, everything.
:49.750 --> :53.020 So it wasn't like we were beating each other
to death or anything. :53.020 --> :57.170
But if you drop your guard and take a side
kick straight to the gut, you'll probably :57.170 --> :59.160
be on the ground for a bit. :59.160 --> :03.820
Karate is a contact sport, and we fully treated it as such.
:03.820 --> :07.640 Anyway another part of that environment was
that only winners get promoted to the next :07.640 --> :08.640 belt.
:08.640 --> :13.290 As part of your belt test, you had to do a
kata to demonstrate your technique, and also :13.290 --> :18.869
win a light-contact sparring match (kumite
rules) against another student who was also :18.869 --> :20.920
up for a belt promotion. :20.920 --> :22.930
Only the winner gets promoted. :22.930 --> :28.689
So one weekend after demonstrating my form
and winning the sparring match, I get promoted. :28.689 --> :31.700
Let's call the kid Greg, because he was a good guy.
:31.700 --> :37.590 Greg's dad (henceforth known as S*** Skull)
is just losing his mind. :37.590 --> :42.759
Greg was totally cool with it, like "Hey congrats
on the win, guess I need to work on my defense." :42.759 --> :48.270
But S*** Skull just wasn't having it, and
started yelling at Brassballs about how Greg :48.270 --> :51.149
deserves something for "getting beat up". :51.149 --> :56.240
And he pays X amount of dollars a month for
these lessons so he expects some results, :56.240 --> :57.240
blah blah blah. :57.240 --> :00.729
(Greg wasn't in any way beat up, I hardly touched him.
:00.729 --> :04.520 I simply got 8 points ahead because he didn't
keep his guard up.) :04.520 --> :10.530
So Brassballs is like..."You're insisting
that Greg deserves a ribbon...for losing? :10.530 --> :11.900
Okey dokey artichokey!" :11.900 --> :17.070
(I'm paraphrasing most of this story because
it's been over 30 years, but he did literally :17.070 --> :22.870
say "okey dokey artichokey" and I will NEVER
forget the s***-eating grin he had as he did :22.870 --> :23.870 so.)
:23.870 --> :26.560 And that brings us to our malicious compliance.
:26.560 --> :29.959 Brassballs steps into his office, shutting
the door behind him. :29.959 --> :34.330
The whole time Greg is like "Dad stop it,
you're embarrassing me, this is why I live :34.330 --> :40.329
with Mom," but S*** Skull apparently thought
he had managed to intimidate the big bad karate :40.329 --> :46.950
teacher into getting his way, so he was just
on cloud nine...until the office door opened :46.950 --> :52.670
and Brassballs tucked a scrap of red ribbon
into the belt of Greg's gi, with the word :52.670 --> :55.700
"LOSER" written on it in marker. :55.700 --> :01.109
S*** Skull is speechless, sputtering like
a fish out of water, before Brassballs delivers :01.109 --> :04.950
the coup de grace: "Don't worry, I made one for you too!"
:04.950 --> :10.709 and he hands S*** Skull an even bigger scrap
of red cloth, with "LOSER" on it. :10.709 --> :16.810
S*** Skull just completely deflated, realizing
that he'd been beaten at his own game, and :16.810 --> :20.280
there was no way in h*** he was beating Brassballs at his.
:20.280 --> :24.980 So he just kind of mumbles and leaves (the
funniest part is he took his LOSER ribbon :24.980 --> :25.980
with him). :25.980 --> :31.629
Greg though wore that handmade LOSER ribbon
to class every day until he finally passed :31.629 --> :32.629
his test. :32.629 --> :37.130
He completely owned the LOSER ribbon and turned it into a source of motivation.
:37.130 --> :39.900 No idea where he is now, but good on ya man.
:39.900 --> :48.200 Hope you're still owning your failures and
getting stronger :48.200 --> :01.980 from them.
:01.980 --> :24.460 There is a huge nationwide electronics retailed
in the UK called Currys. :24.460 --> :29.840
They are renowned for having terrible customer
service but very occasionally having decent :29.840 --> :30.840
prices. :30.840 --> :35.280 I was in the market for a KitchenAid stand
mixer and my employer had an arrangement where :35.280 --> :38.960
I could buy Currys gift cards for a 10% discount. :38.960 --> :43.970
I was a bit reluctant to use them based on
past experiences, but thought I would take :43.970 --> :49.500
advantage of saving a bit of cash and ordered
my mixer online, delivery due in a week. :49.500 --> :51.349
"Easy peasy" I thought. :51.349 --> :56.630
It was about £250 / $300 before discount. :56.630 --> :59.389
Delivery day comes and goes, no mixer. :59.389 --> :02.849
The next day I ring up customer service and ask what happened.
:02.849 --> :07.460 After 20 minutes on hold they tell me the
product is out of stock and I will need to :07.460 --> :11.289
wait for their next delivery in 10 days time. :11.289 --> :13.980
Not too bad, I'm a patient person. :13.980 --> :20.750
10 days later, still no mixer or order update,
even though it's showing as in stock and available :20.750 --> :22.860
to buy on their website. :22.860 --> :25.110 Back on the phone to CS.
:25.110 --> :26.550 More time on hold. :26.550 --> :30.650
This time I'm told there is an order backlog
and they couldn't tell me when it would be :30.650 --> :33.810
delivered so I ask for a refund. :33.810 --> :39.960
Unfortunately in the UK if you pay by gift
card, you can only get a refund by gift card. :39.960 --> :45.669
At this point I had no desire to ever use
Currys again and was disappointed in myself :45.669 --> :47.820
for ever giving it a go. :47.820 --> :53.030
I would have no use for a gift card so I decide to give them a bit more time.
:53.030 --> :56.069 No prizes for guessing that this didn't bear
fruit. :56.069 --> :01.330 A couple of weeks later I use the CS online
chat to see what is going on. :01.330 --> :07.099
Again they are completely unable to help or
confirm when / if I would receive my order. :07.099 --> :11.680
I asked what I was expected to do and the
bloke said something along the lines of "No :11.680 --> :15.780
idea mate, you would have to take it up with our board, hahaha".
:15.780 --> :18.190 Fine, it's MC time! :18.190 --> :22.800
A quick trip to the Companies House website
gives me a list of all of their directors :22.800 --> :23.800
(here for anyone suffering a similar fate). :23.800 --> :27.159
Another hour on LinkedIn and I've tracked them all down.
:27.159 --> :32.780 I proceed to send every director a summary
of what has happened and links to screenshots :32.780 --> :36.640
of the online chat I had with the CS rep. :36.640 --> :43.449
Less than a day later I get a call from the
CEO's personal assistant apologising profusely :43.449 --> :46.490
and personally guaranteeing she will sort it out. :46.490 --> :52.360
By the time this all happened, the mixer had
gone down by another £60 so she processed :52.360 --> :56.530
my order again and said she would arrange
for the accounts team to send me a voucher :56.530 --> :57.990
for the difference. :57.990 --> :00.639
She was genuinely the hero of this story. :00.639 --> :03.850
The very next day my mixer arrives. :03.850 --> :04.850 Happy days!
:04.850 --> :08.150 A few days after that I get a letter with
a Currys voucher. :08.150 --> :10.879
I thought this would be the end of my sorry saga. :10.879 --> :18.449
However, as icing on the cake, they proceeded
to send me three more £60 vouchers at random :18.449 --> :20.810
intervals over the next few months. :20.810 --> :30.180
I can only guess that their admin team is as useless as their
:30.180 --> :50.580 customer service team.
:50.580 --> :52.110 I'll try to make this brief.
:52.110 --> :56.920 I was trained in an advanced assembly position
to replace a long time employee who retired :56.920 --> :57.920
last week. :57.920 --> :02.940
I trained for 3 months, following the man's
instructions to the letter, even taking notes :02.940 --> :08.270
on the ways he's developed in order to meet
out companies demanding production quotas. :08.270 --> :12.750
Last Monday was my first day officially in
the position, and I felt I was doing almost :12.750 --> :14.670
as good of a job as he was. :14.670 --> :19.090
The way it works, everything I build goes into a 24 hour hold.
:19.090 --> :23.350 When I come in, I pull them from the hold,
clean them and prepare them for shipping. :23.350 --> :28.920
So last Monday I start pulling my 24 hour
inventory and getting it read for quality :28.920 --> :31.470
to final inspect before it goes to shipping. :31.470 --> :36.500
Well, we also have a new quality inspector
in my department who is apparently really :36.500 --> :38.320
gung-ho about her job. :38.320 --> :44.150
She's salaried, is only supposed to work 8
hours, and has never missed a chance to rub :44.150 --> :49.590
it in our faces, because she was also a production
employee until two weeks ago when she got :49.590 --> :50.590
promoted. :50.590 --> :54.700
She sees me cleaning the assemblies, amd proceeds
to chew me out because they had only been :54.700 --> :57.480
on hold for 15 hours or so. :57.480 --> :59.030 Not 24.
:59.030 --> :04.460 I informed her that I was taught that the
24 hour hold was to ensure they hold pressure, :04.460 --> :09.550
and that if they hadn't lost pressure in 12
hours they won't lose pressure in 24. :09.550 --> :14.460
And that by the time I had them all cleaned,
they would be out of the 24 hour hold and :14.460 --> :18.480
I would have another batch to assemble and put in hold for the next day.
:18.480 --> :19.600 That's the way it works.
:19.600 --> :24.550 I clean and prepare until my other coworkers
have assembled all my sub assemblies, then :24.550 --> :28.540
I do the finish assembly while they work on new stuff for the next day.
:28.540 --> :33.950 She was adamant, she wouldn't touch them until
the full 24 hours had passed. :33.950 --> :40.420
So, she went and got her supervisor, my supervisor,
and the engineering supervisor. :40.420 --> :43.810
Who all agreed with me, but could see her point. :43.810 --> :49.550
So, they told me to start pulling my assemblies
out of hold at the 24 hour mark after that :49.550 --> :50.550 day.
:50.550 --> :51.570 So, I did. :51.570 --> :57.750
And at 3 o'clock, she had between 25 and 30
pieces to inspect every day last week. :57.750 --> :01.950
That's right at 3 hours worth of work and she is supposed to leave at 3:30.
:01.950 --> :06.510 However, if she has parts in the inspection
area, she has to inspect them and get them :06.510 --> :08.270
to shipping the same day. :08.270 --> :09.720
She can't leave parts overnight..... :09.720 --> :13.200
So, she was forced to work OT for free. :13.200 --> :18.050
I have never felt so much hate from one person when the looked at me before lol.
:18.050 --> :19.440 Fast forward to today.
:19.440 --> :24.400 My supervisor comes to me and tells me to
go back to the system I was using before. :24.400 --> :26.710
That it seemed to flow smoother. :26.710 --> :57.530
I know the real reason tho, and thats all that matters 😁 I'm a
:57.530 --> :59.270 train driver in the UK.
:59.270 --> :03.130 Weekday commuters in busy periods are fine,
they know what they're doing and where they're :03.130 --> :04.610
going. :04.610 --> :09.830 Weekenders are another story, they rock up
and have no idea where they're going and act :09.830 --> :15.070
indignant when we tell them the route they
want to take is full of engineering works. :15.070 --> :18.860
However, the worst is summer holiday teenagers. :18.860 --> :23.240
It's school holidays at the moment here in
the UK, so they're just p***ing around for :23.240 --> :24.480
the fun of it. :24.480 --> :28.630
Last week, I had one teenage girl block a set of doors from closing.
:28.630 --> :33.680 I did my usual PA spiel of "you might not
have anywhere to go, but the other hundred :33.680 --> :37.250
or so people on board want to get home or to work".
:37.250 --> :42.140 This usually gets the ones bothered the most
to get up and see what's going on. :42.140 --> :43.550
Wasn't enough for this girl. :43.550 --> :48.610
I went back and asked her what the problem
was, she remained silent and refused to look :48.610 --> :52.670
at anyone, but looked at me and said "get the police then".
:52.670 --> :57.870 In the end, police were called and we waited
on the platform for 40 minutes for them to :57.870 --> :59.980
arrive and take her away. :59.980 --> :04.660
Last night, it was the second last stop before
I was to take the train empty back to the :04.660 --> :07.730
depot and go home, after a 9 hour shift. :07.730 --> :08.900
I was done. :08.900 --> :12.600
I tried to close the doors and they wouldn't lock fully.
:12.600 --> :16.300 Tried again a few times then saw it was the
door behind me. :16.300 --> :19.680
I got out of my cab and saw it was the same girl. :19.680 --> :26.210
"Oh you were the same girl that held up my
train for 40 minutes last week" "No it wasn't :26.210 --> :27.750
me" it was. :27.750 --> :34.580
Unknown to her, I had been told over the radio
to expect delays in to the "terminus station" :34.580 --> :37.810
as they were dealing with an incident and police were there.
:37.810 --> :43.110 I just said to her "listen, I know it was
you, It's my last train of the night and I :43.110 --> :49.770
want to go home on time, so you can either
shut up and sit down, I'll drag you out, or :49.770 --> :52.390
I can get police to come deal with you". :52.390 --> :57.130
She obviously remembered police coming the week before so went and sat down.
:57.130 --> :03.460 Unbeknownst to her, I used the six minute
journey time between that station and "terminus :03.460 --> :08.800
station" to call the signaller and request police assistance on arrival.
:08.800 --> :13.580 When I pulled in, there were 6 police officers
waiting for us. :13.580 --> :18.940
I didn't open the doors and let the police
in through my cab door and pointed her out. :18.940 --> :23.970
The fish mouth on her was priceless as I said "you told me to call the police".
:23.970 --> :25.041 I posted this elsewhere, but I feel it also
fits right in here too. :25.041 --> :26.041
Bit of background, this happened in the UK
in about 91/92 and I’m F, at the time I :26.041 --> :27.041
as about 20-21 :27.041 --> :28.041
In the early 90’s I’d just come back from
working overseas and as it was December I :28.041 --> :29.041
needed a job quickly so I took a one in a Turkish restaurant (relevant later).
:29.041 --> :30.041 It was a waitress job and I truly loved the
job, the one other waiter was nice, the 3 :30.041 --> :31.041
chefs were great and taught me a few tips and recipes I still use to this day.
:31.041 --> :32.041 The management (husband and wife?) seemed
ok at first, but typically didn’t want to :32.041 --> :33.041
have to do anything except mingle and drink
wine during service hours, never once helping, :33.041 --> :34.041
but always quick with blame. :34.041 --> :35.041
A typical night myself and the other waiter
(M) worked our backsides to the bone, and :35.041 --> :36.041
they’d just sit, watch and pester the customers. :36.041 --> :37.041
I didn’t see a single tip when I worked
in this restaurant, but it’s UK so not compulsory :37.041 --> :38.041
anyway, so I didn’t think anything if this at the time.
:38.041 --> :39.041 We worked through Christmas and the New Year’s
Eve shift was approaching, so the manager :39.041 --> :40.041
asked me to purchase some cloth napkins from
a store on the other side of the town (which :40.041 --> :41.041
I did), I bought them took them into the restauran
and I didn’t notice until afterwards was :41.041 --> :42.041
shortchanged in my reimbursement for purchasing them (I had to use my own money)
:42.041 --> :43.041 One of the managers said she’d had a great
idea in she’d like me and the other waiter :43.041 --> :44.041
to wear something in lines of traditional
Turkish costume that evening - for the booked :44.041 --> :45.041
solidly New Year’s Eve shift, a shift I was due to start in a few hours.
:45.041 --> :46.041 This was the first time she’d mentioned
anything about this idea of hers. :46.041 --> :47.041
I mentioned it could be possible but I’d like to see what she had planned…
:47.041 --> :48.041 She produced a cardboard box and showed me
first the stunning outfit she’d chosen for :48.041 --> :49.041
the waiter (my colleague), I said it looked
amazing and questioned what she’d chosen :49.041 --> :50.041
for me, bare in mind I was very slim - about a size 6-8(Uk) and about 5’10”.
:50.041 --> :51.041 She produced from the box this very skimpy
see-through outfit that would be more in place :51.041 --> :52.041
in a lovers bedroom, I asked her if she was serious?!
:52.041 --> :53.041 She said “yes”, to which I said “I’m
not wearing that”, she then told me that :53.041 --> :54.041
I’m wearing it or I’m fired! :54.041 --> :55.041
So I replied with a simple “bye then” and reached for my things
:55.041 --> :56.041 She retracted immediately in a panic saying
“no no I didn’t mean that, you need to :56.041 --> :57.041
stay” I smiled and walked out :57.041 --> :58.041
A few days later I popped in for my final
wages (cash envelope and P45 tax documentation) :58.041 --> :59.041
and the other waiter was there at that time,
he said that I’d really left them in the :59.041 --> :00.041
sh*t that night doing that, I apologised to
him very genuine; to which he smiled broadly :00.041 --> :02.740
and said nothing to be sorry for, the management
had to help that night and he even saw some :02.740 --> :03.740 tips.
:03.740 --> :05.170 The management were grumpy when they came
out to see me and very grudgingly gave me :05.170 --> :06.700
my final wages, I can’t remember if they gave me my P45 or not though
:06.700 --> :08.540 The other waiters reaction to telling me what
happened that night still makes me smile to :08.540 --> :08.770

language and I'm emotional I a 29f met my fiance Kevin 32m 6 years ago when Joe
was two I wasn't planning on dating a single parent as I felt I was too young
to be a parent in any capacity but I fell in love with Kevin and when I
eventually got to meet Joe I fell in love with him too Joe's biom mom was not
in the picture from at the time she wanted absolutely nothing to do with Joe
when I met them she hadn't seen Joe for a year and a half for the past 6 years
she hasn't been in touch with Joe or Kevin at all I've helped raise Joe all
these years I see him as my own I love him as my own he calls me Mom in every
way except for biologically he's my son and I'm his mom in February this year we
even made it legally official with adoption it was honestly the best moment
of my life in the beginning of Summer Joe's bio mom contacted Kevin and asked
if she could see Joe we discussed it and decided that we would give her a chance
maybe she had needed some time to grow up Kevin and Joe met her and it was fine
all was good at first I even met her and she was perfectly nice and lovely but
the last few weeks something has changed Joe and Kevin has spent more in more
time with her at Kevin's insistence I have not been there Joe had started
acting out more than he ever has before and I've been suspecting it's because of
biom Mom's influence I feel like this was confirmed on Tuesday when Joe said
he didn't have to listen to me because I'm not his real mom it hurt a lot but
he's a child so I can't be too angry with him I talked to my fiance about it
later and that I felt like maybe they should cut down a little on the time
spent with biom Mom and have me be there in the future we got into an argument
and when I repeated what Joe had said he responded with well technically you
aren't his real mom it felt like a punch I couldn't believe and still can't
believe he said that I was so hurt that I just left to stay at my parents place
and have been here ever since I've tried talking to Kevin and he's apologized
over and over again but I just can't get over that he sees me like that I have
talked to Joe and said that I just need some time away but that I love him very
much he's so sad and there's nothing I want more than hold him but every time I
think about going home and seeing Kevin knowing what he said it makes me sop am
I awful for needing some space I feel like a terrible mother but I don't know
what to do update June 29th 2024 9 months later hello it's been a while but
I have been thinking more about the post I made recently I never really stopped
thinking about it to be honest but I wanted to focus on real life and not
what to write to strangers online I really want to thank everyone that
commented and shared their opinions even the more outlandish ones I won't bore
you with all the details of the past year and try to keep this short but I
wanted to give an update because so many
have reached out and asked how I'm doing which is so nice the night I made the
post I went back home to Kevin and Joe it was emotional but I needed to do it
Joe was already asleep but Kevin was up he was so apologetic and cried a lot I
told him we needed to talk but not that night because we were were both
exhausted we were going to have a few normal days for Joe's sake and then send
him on a sleepover at his grandparents so we could talk I also told him I
needed a motherson date with Joe the next day me and Joe went to the zoo
together and spent the day having a blast I did explain to him in a
kid-friendly way that his comment had hurt me a lot he was very sorry and
confirmed what I thought which was that his bioom had made comments like that we
talked for a long time you know for a 8-year-old and I asked him if he wanted
to keep seeing his bioom and he gave a shrug and said she had been fun at first
but he didn't like when she told him off
SL yelled didn't love that she was doing that I won't try to explain the whole
conversation here but I think it was a good one he's such a sweet sensitive
little guy and nothing makes me prouder than being his mom me and Kevin did have
a long emotional conversation the night we Joe went to my parents Joe's biom mom
was and is very manipulative I'm not equipped to diagnose her but
narcissistic isn't far off he was not sleeping with her as many of you thought
Kevin and her relationship was not good abusive I want to say and the way it
ended with her giving up all custody SLP
parental rights of Joe was difficult for
Kevin and he struggled a lot as a single
father he admitted he never quite healed properly from her but didn't really
notice it until she came back she manipulated him again and it all brought
back so much baggage he thought he left behind him he said he knew there was no
excuse for what he said and he wishes he never said it but everything was too
much and confusing I said I wasn't ready
to forgive him but I wanted to work with him I know this will disappoint some of
you who wanted me to leave him but I cannot give up on this man who has been
so wonderful for years over this I felt like we deserved a chance at fighting
through this together the next day Kevin contacted Joe's biom mom and said we
needed some boundaries with her he said he felt she had manipulated him and his
emotions and he couldn't allow her in Joe's life with the way she was acting
we decided that going non- contact with her for the time being was best for us
and Joe we talked to Joe about this first thing is she disappeared without
an answer to this literally nothing changed her number and everything I'm
not sure what happened but we do have a plan if she ever decides to come back
again we a team through and through we contacted a couple's counselor slamily
therapist and working with her has been great we have done it just me and Kevin
as well as with Joe Kevin has apologized profusely more times than I can count
Kevin has also been to individual therapy which he says has been good for
him it's been a pretty intense couple of months with a lot of personal growth
from both of us but I believe we're on the other side now I have forgiven Kevin
and we are moving on together and better also the reason I decided to update
today is I just found out I'm pregnant I literally have told no one because I
want to tell Kevin and Joe first well second now in a cute way but haven't
figured it out yet I'll think of something but life is pretty damn good
right now so I hope you all have a wonderful day/ night/ morning Story 2
aita 4 hiding money from my husband update 4 years later original post July
2nd 2020 tldr at the bottom I can't use my main account for obvious reasons my
husband is out of work he does odd jobs around town to bring in a few hundred a
month I am employed but the job doesn't pay well saving money is hard a few
months ago we had a BC failure and now we are expecting saving money became an
even bigger priority for me my husband seemed to want to spend more because he
said my pregnancy was causing him stress and activating his anxiety and
depression and partying help he says all
of that will be over when the baby comes husband received a really generous job
offer recently he decided to use the money I had been saving he figured he
could replace it with the first several paychecks he never contributed a penny
to that savings fund husband claims that
since we're married it was far money and he had every right to it the job offer
fell through husband then admitted he took my money it took me months to
scrape that together and he blew through it in two weeks his friends have been
telling me that I'm not allowed to be upset because we're married so that
money was marital property I have also been told that husband needed the money
more than I did because it helped him cope and I should just be glad he
partied instead of worse husband said that he will not touch any future
savings for the sake of the baby it all came to a head last weekend when husband
ran out of six I ended up scrounging together change to buy his packs so he
could make it until I got paid husband did not believe that I was broke while I
was at work on Monday he went through our apartment to look for any money I
may have hidden he found $20 in a winter coat I had in storage that I had
forgotten about he also logged into my online banking and saw that I had money
in my account but that money was earmarked for a bill he called my work
twice to yell at me and then chewed me out when I got home he told me that I am
a liar and that I withheld something that he needed I tried to explain that I
had no clue that there was any money in my winter clothing and that the money in
my bank account was for a bill he didn't care at least two of his friends have
told me that I could have paid the bill a few days late if it meant supporting
my husband while he's going through so much this morning husband told me that
since am a liar and willing to hide things from him that he doesn't feel
like he needs to pay back the money that he took until I stopped being such an
to him I really wasn't lying as far as I am concerned bill money is
non-negotiable aita for not telling him about the bill money tldr version
husband wanted something to help him cope with all of the things he's going
through I told him that we were broke I did have some money but it was to pay a
bill husband says omitting that money makes me a liar and the ITA
relevant comments commenter info is your husband literally 8 years old
o3s he thinks I was punishing him because he had an affair when he first
found out I was pregnant I have been told by friends and family that a lot of
guys stray when they first find out I'm not happy but that's not why I wouldn't
let him have the money I was just taught by my grandma that bills come before
anything else commenter NTA obviously what the foo asterisk K is wrong with
your husband if money is so tight how can he possibly justify even buying
smokes his friends are making this situation much worse and he's probably
blowing up his side of the story to them to make you seem like you're not giving
him any money make him get a job and make him pay for his own oop I have
been told that one of his friends is spreading the idea that the baby is not
his and I don't know if this guy came up with it on his own the same guy is
telling people that I am financially abusive towards my husband it's not
helping things more info on husband SL their relationship he's from a southern
background and his family is very a boys will be boys my family is fundamental
and thinks divorce is a sin he is constantly telling our mutual friends
that he would be lost without me and he doesn't know how he got so lucky to have
someone who takes such good care of him he told someone just yesterday that he
would have died years ago without me that it's proof of what a wonderful mom
I'll make the only person in my circle who has been actively telling me to
leave him is my best friend she likes to point out how he's talking out of both
sides of his mouth he says she's just trying to start she wanted to start
a GoFundMe for me to replace the money he took so I can leave I told it's his
responsibility not hers the bank account we share a phone so he has access to my
banking app the account is in my name only I Chann the password once but he
said that was proof that I was lying and hiding things commenter WTF why are you
still with him Are you seriously bringing a child into this mess Ash him
for obvious reasons and you for allowing his behavior by being a doormat please
let my harsh words be reality check you need to see that this relationship is
not right it's borderline toxic oop well according to my mother no one will ever
love me but my family and that's because they have to I'm lucky I found anyone
who can stand me at all abortion that was considered but I live in a state
where that option is very hard to access
comment July 3rd 2020 next day is one of you a witch is there an aita curse SL
blessing that I was previously unaware of my husband partied a little too hard
and got himself arrested this morning due to previous Behavior he's going to
have to sit in jail for a few weeks while they sort things out you've all
given me things to think about and the universe gave me time to mle them over

aita for not letting my 6' 6 in brother have the free first class upgrade the
airline gave me on our 12-hour flight we are at the beginning of my dad's
retirement family trip he is paying for all of us to meet as a family in Hawaii
for a week since he was retiring after working at the same company for 42 years
there are six of us but my brother and I live in the same part of the country I
guess it's relevant to say I'm 5' 1 in and my brother is 6' 6 in in I fly all
the time for work and have quite a bit of status with the airline for which my
dad bought our tickets this is what happened way earlier today we were all
boarded and ready to go when a flight attendant came up to me and whispered
that they had a first class Passenger not show up and they needed the coach
seek to accommodate a standby passenger she said I had by far the most status of
anyone on the plane so they were willing
to move me to First Class for free I was
like oh yeah and I in a heartbeat I told my brother I'd see him in 12 hours and
let me know if he wanted any food or drink and I grabbed my stuff and moved
needless to say I had a nice flight when
we landed and we waiting for our shuttle my brother was so pissy but wouldn't
tell me what was going on he didn't speak to me the whole shuttle ride we
had a nice hello with the rest of the family but after I got down from my
shower my mom took me aside and said what I did was awful I asked her what
she was talking about and she said that I should have given my brother the seat
I thought that would be the end of it but all five of my siblings and my
parents are upset with me and the vacation is off to a very rough start I
was trying to play with my niece and nephew in the lobby waiting for lunch
and my sister said no they only like to play with people who give a about
their family what were you thinking I asked her if this was about the first
class thing and she said what do you think it's about I said that he never
asked me to switch with him | give me a good story on AITAfornotlettingmybrotherhavethefreefirstclassupgradetheairlinegavemeonourorig |

today we get nuclear revenge against a basketball Nemesis we'll get to that in
a bit but first exposing my stepmom at the dinner table like many people I hate
racism I think it's so pointless and stupid considering that the very people
who are victims of it are some of the ones who made this country what it is
today I'm a mixed woman my father's an African-American man and my mother's
half Chinese and half white because of this my features are what people like to
call exotic I have long curly hair tan skin that doesn't lighten too much in
the winter my mom slant almond eyes and my father's full lips I've always been
aware of the privilege my looks have given me and I'll never take it for
granted because of this I've always been more outspoken about the unfairness of
society to darker-skinned black people and the effects of racism and colorism
on young children it's pretty safe to say that I've always been quite the
activist it started early on thanks to my mother she always advised me me and
my siblings to be thoughtful and consider others and she also led by
example so it wasn't very difficult to emulate I feel like I'm going too fast
so I'll start at the top I'm a 27 year old female and I'm the first child of
three children my siblings are Tara 25 and Tyler 24 all fake names of course
our parents met when they were teenagers in opposing high schools it was the
classic cheerleader and football player from different schools Love Story their
relationship was a little forbidden but they managed to hold out staying
together all through high school and college and differing career paths they
had us pretty early into their marriage so we all kind of grew up together mom
was going to college and raising toddlers while Dad was doing the same
and working as well after she graduated my mom went to a beauty school for about
a year and when she came out she started a shop in the small garage of our house
in no time it blew up to be one of the most diverse hair shops that catered to
all kinds of hair specifically black hair and my siblings and I were little
staff workers for our other because of where we grew up we were constantly
surrounded by people of color and it contributed to my need to find Justice
for minorities I saw people die every other day from police brutality and I
was reminded every day that while I might be white passing enough others
weren't and I needed to protect them the
best I could After High School I went on
to major in African-American studies and
art history I knew it was the right path
for me and I enjoyed all four years that I spent in college right after I
graduated my parents announced that they were getting a divorce my mom had just
turned 42 she was 21 when she had me and my dad was 43 they assured us that the
divorce was not caused by cheating or anything malicious but that they had
just reached different points in their lives and decided that it would be best
if they parted ways and continued in their individual Journeys my siblings
and I were very supportive of them and the divorce was smooth I didn't think I
would ever say that divorce was smooth but here we are my mom started to travel
and my dad sort of just disappeared Into Thin Air I did my masters and somewhere
along the line I met my husband he was the sweetest most handsome man in my
class but he was so painfully shy that I celebrated the first time that he spoke
more than three words to me once he got comfortable around me we started to
study together and before long we started dating we were together for only
four months when he proposed and then we
got married a year later my parents came
to my wedding separately and instantly I noticed that my dad had a woman on his
arm after some probing we realized that she was his fiance and they were set to
get married in a few weeks it seemed rushed but he was my father and he knew
what was good for him better than the rest of us their wedding was a court
wedding and the first thing we noticed right after they got married was how she
changed towards us especially myself for
more clarification my father got married to an African-American woman and I also
got married to an African-American man my father's new wife's name was Joan a
fake name and the best way I could describe her attitude towards my mother
and I was scornful she was nice to my much darker siblings and my husband but
when she was around me it changed to disgust things never got on my nerves
easily so I let myself brush it off deciding that if she disliked me it was
her own personal problem at 24 I had finished with my education and gotten a
job as a professor's aide in the school I graduated from by Fall of the same
year I realized that I was pregnant it was an easy pregnancy and my baby girl
was born in June she was the first grandchild of the family and everyone
was around to welcome us back home everyone besides my stepmother I didn't
think much of it until she showed up on her own about a week later scowl that me
and everything in my house and upon seeing my baby girl burst out in the
laughter I asked why she was laughing and this woman looked me in the eye and
said that I was a plague to Blackness and did it rubbed off on my baby without
uttering another word she got up and left my house it was confusing to say
the least but I kept the conversation to
myself and didn't tell anyone besides my husband I should have spoken up
immediately when it happened but I didn't want my siblings seeing her in a
weird light she was nice to them so it didn't matter that she didn't like me or
my child we would stay out of her way ironically she liked my husband a lot
and would always look out for him at events her claim was that she just
wanted the dark skins to stay together over the years as my daughter grew her
complexion didn't darken much and her curly hair was a very very light shade
of brown she didn't look black and Joan made sure to tell me at any chance she
got she poked fun at us during family meetings but I stopped anyone from
speaking up for me only responding with smiles or changing the conversation
completely my siblings noticed and tried to talk me into speaking up and doing
something but I let them know that our father was head over heels in love and
brushed everything she did off as a joke
he would do the same if I spoke up about her and things would get worse my
daughter turned three years old in October and we threw her a Halloween
themed party against the wishes of my husband and siblings I invited Joan
alongside my dad and then my ma my mother and Joan had never been in the
same place for more than five minutes because she never stayed too long at a
place since my daughter's birth my mother had been coming around a lot more
and I secretly could not wait for her to meet her ex-husband's new wife for more
than three minutes my mother is a very Zen woman the stereotypical backpack
traveler yogurt and Coke coconut water for breakfast type of person her skin
was very tanned from the Sun and I always fear that that was probably a few
hours away from asking me what I thought about dreadlocks my daughter's birthday
was more of adults using the event as an excuse to drink and socialize while the
kids ran around screaming bloody murder everything was going well until my
mother and Joan arrived at the same time family and friends you knew about the
drama that Joan was laughed because they knew that things were about to get more
interesting right away my mother walked up to my daughter and wished her a happy
birthday handing her a cute little necklace and kissing her cheek right
after she went straight to the drink cooler and then to say hi to my father
Joan walked up to my daughter and gave her the tightest smile leaned into her
ear and started to speak to her for the one minute that she was in my child's
ear I could see her face fall with every
word this woman uttered to her after she got up she turned to me gave me a tight
smile and walked off somewhere I was so so livid I called my now sad
three-year-old and cuddled her encouraging her to speak up to me now
while she can talk her vocabulary is limited and she's in the clearest to
understand despite that I was able to make out that Joan degraded my toddler
and called her a couple of slurs like mulatto and a bunch of other colorful
words it took a lot of cheering up to raise my baby's spirits but once I did
she went back out to keep playing with her friends and I called a meeting with
my mom husband and siblings it was one thing to say slurs to an adult but it is
a completely different ball game when you decide that you want to fight with a
freaking child Joan has gotten herself into a fight that she would not win and
my family would make sure of it nobody said anything to Joan at the party we
all just blatantly ignored her the whole time and we continue to do so at every
other family gathering even when she cornered one of us to speak to us we
pretended that she didn't exist to us this made her very visibly uncomfortable
and that was just part one of the plan we had to pay her back Thanksgiving soon
rolled around and at the dinner we had at home we made sure not to pay
attention to any of her allergies the reaction she gets to them weren't severe
we made sure so it was just funny seeing her face all swollen up and the obvious
discomfort that followed the next time we saw each other was during Christmas
and this time everyone was prepared to make Joan even more uncomfortable we had
cousins in all of our childhood best friends show up to the house for a party
and my mother was in charge of the catering that was the first thing that
made her a bit antsy my little brother and I heard them arguing inside my dad's
bedroom when they finally came out everyone spoke to Joan like she was a
child scolding her when she spoke too loudly or looked the wrong way at
anybody if she tried to speak we all spoke over her until she shut up and
cowered back down the best part my father was clueless once he'd been made
the center of attention not much matter to him anymore and our cousins really
indulged him by midnight Jonah disappeared from the party I went on a
search for her and found her crying in the guest bathroom I locked the door
behind us and gave her a few Choice words letting her know that she would
not go unpunished for the words she said to my daughter a small child she tried
to yell at me but I was much taller so glaring her down caused her to stutter
before I left the bathroom I told her if she was staying in the family then she
needed to get used to the treatment because that was all she would be
getting nobody knew when Joan left but it was the last time anyone saw her the
next week she sent divorce papers to my father and within six months they were
divorced and my mom moved back in I guess it took another marriage in six
years for them to get back together some
part of me felt bad for the way I chased Jonah away because I prefer to be a
pacifist but I guess some battles must be fought I mean I'd pretty much agree
with what they did here if somebody that
intolerable is going to hang around well at least you can try to put them in
their place and if they dip after that it's for the best honestly especially
when their spouse does nothing to back you up when they're so clearly in the
wrong also hi I'm Stephen and if you enjoy crazy stories of Revenge like
these make sure to hit those like And subscribe buttons down below that said
our next story is my basketball Nemesis is planned backfired when I was about 10
my dad took me to see a Knicks game it changed my life I can remember almost
every detail about that day and I still reminisce about it till today it was my
birthday and my dad had somehow managed to save up enough money to get me a
present which was tickets to go see the Knicks his favorite NBA team now I
wasn't exactly excited to go watch the game for me at the time I saw it as my
dad just using my birthday as an excuse to go go watch his team play I actually
wanted to go get pizza instead however it was rare to get any sort of present
in my house growing up and while I wasn't particularly happy about it I
couldn't really complain my parents worked two jobs each and we could still
barely survive so my dad's gesture of getting us tickets and taking me to the
game seemed to just be him showing he cared in his own way in retrospect I'm
glad he took me to that game as a matter of fact I wouldn't trade those tickets
for all the pizza in the world but I digress what was so epic about that game
well apart from the fact that the Knicks
had won the game and I got to experience the sheer energy in that Arena that
evening it was at that game that I discovered that I actually loved
basketball my initial boredom was soon replaced with absolute excitement and
with every second in every play both teams made my excitement only grew I
kept asking my dad all sorts of questions about the game and he
patiently answered them all by the end of the game I had decided that I was
going to be a lot more interested in basketball when I told my dad about how
I was in love with basketball he was quite excited at first I was just
interested in watching games and learning as much as I could about the
game but soon my interest grew to wanting to play when my dad found out
that I wanted to play his support grew tenfold he got me my first kit playing
shoes and would even take me to the court down the block on the weekends to
watch me play at home he'd randomly ask basketball trivia and talk about his own
experiences playing basketball in high school he was curious to know if I
wanted to play for my school team and we discussed my prospects at this point
though I need to be really honest with you my main motivation for wanting to
play basketball wasn't because I loved the game I mean I really loved the game
but that was a secondary reason see as I
learned more about basketball and Sports in general I started to realize that
basketball could be my family's way out of darn near poverty if I played well
and I was good enough I could get into college on a sports scholarship an
option that would otherwise be impossible without taking a student loan
I could make a name for myself and earn some big bucks I could finally take care
of my family and friends that motivated me and it made me push myself to be
better and better when I was certain I could compete in my school I tried out
for the team I was good boy was I good it was either that I'd over trained or
everyone else hadn't trained enough but I was absolutely demolishing people on
the court every game that I played I was on fire my family was always there in
the stands to cheer me on when they could and quite honestly their support
meant everything to me through Middle School I was obviously the best player
on the team and coach said I had the potential to make it big I held on to
those words and continued to improve of myself I also paid as much attention as
I could to my academics I could only hope to get into a good program if I
kept my grades up so I never took them for granted my grades weren't the best
but they were good enough that I didn't have to give up basketball for them all
was good it was until I got to high school that things started to get a
little interesting for one I had managed to get the attention of a scout who had
told me to apply for a program that offered scholarships through high school
athletes like me I got in and they covered a hundred percent of my tuition
as I mentioned before my parents were tight on money so this was quite the
relief for them financially it was starting to look like my plans for the
future were actualizing just as I expected that they would that's when the
first problem came up Cassie most people know that athletes are almost always
attractive to people and I started to notice a fair bit of a 10 mentioned from
the girls in my school but especially from Cassie Cassie was relentless and
direct at first I was a bit wary of her but then we got to hang out and talk a
little and it turned out she was actually a very interesting person there
was a bit of an issue I wasn't completely comfortable with though
Cassie was quite clear that she only wanted to be with me because I played a
sport and I was popular she constantly talked about the social structure of our
school and how she really couldn't relate with people who were lower down
that structure it seemed sort of odd to me that she placed so much attention on
that but she was really pretty and I was starting to like her a lot so I started
dating her over the next few years we would date on and off you'll understand
the relevance of this later on the second part to this whole Fiasco was a
boy named Nate from arrival school now nade was just like me really good he was
very clearly the star player of his school
Nate was also like me a point guard so every time we played we always faced off
with each other I would say the big difference between Nate and I was what
we played for I always played with my family in mind every game I played I
reminded myself that I was doing this to be able to provide a better life for me
and my family this was my way out and I was going to take it Nate on the other
hand came from a pretty wealthy family he was good but he wasn't hungry for
Success like I was and so more often than not when we met I usually outplayed
and out guarded him at first he seemed to be quite the good sport about it
talking to me after our games and even inviting me to his family's house one
time but the more times we met the more he seemed frustrated that I bested him
and the more toxic he got at first it started with just regular trash talking
off the court but it soon involved trash talking on the court and one time he
even walked up to me at the mall and said some really offensive things about
my family I tried not to let anything he said get to me and I reported every
incident to my coach and my family I really didn't want any form of
Confrontation and I preferred to do all my talking on the court on a crucial
game against a school though something quite serious happened I was in
possession of the ball and had decided to play ISO against Nate I know that
defensively I could definitely get past him and score and so I skirted along the
outside of the three-point line and then I dribbled into the paint passed him
ready to lay up at the last second before the ball left my hand though I
felt Nate's foot dig into my calf I instantly went down the referee called a
flagrant foul the ball rolled into the basket and won I face planted I was
still dealing with the pain in my leg hoping I hadn't gotten a nasty injury
when I felt Nate's Feet Again on my calf this time there was force I was very
certain I heard something crack thankfully the referee saw the second
foul on me and with the second flagrant foul ejected Nate from the game the
damage had been done though as I was injured and couldn't carry on with the
game I did force myself to take the free throw first because that's what Kobe
would have done after that I had to be taken to the school nurse and then to
the hospital we lost the game that day and Nate received a two-match ban for
his unsportsmanlike conduct I on the other hand had to spend six months
recovering from my injury and I had to watch every game from the sideline in my
senior year of high school I got back on
track I'd been contacted by a handful of Scouts to come play for their college
and my dream of getting a college degree without going into debt seemed to be
coming true I was more worried about my school's upcoming match about Nate's
school though I hadn't played him since he'd injured me and I was determined to
pay him back by absolutely outclassing him on the court I trained harder than
I'd ever trained before and I was a laser focused this time I won't let him
phase me in any way I knew he wouldn't want any ways to play dirty this time he
too had gotten attention from a handful of schools and I was certain he wouldn't
want to risk losing their interest if not for any other reason for the sake of
Pride around this time though Cassie and I were together as a matter of fact we
had just gotten together again after I broke up with her a few months before I
was determined to try and make things work this time and so I put in a lot of
effort I'd buy flowers and chocolates for her and I took interest in some of
her interests so we had more to talk about it all seemed like it was going
good a couple of days to the game though I decided to surprise Cassie and take
her out to see a movie I went to her place and went around the back to her
room window the window was open I was just about to climb in when I noticed
that something was odd there was someone
in the room with her as a matter of fact
that person was cuddling with her on the bed and his cologne smelled faintly
familiar it wasn't until he spoke that I realized that my Nemesis Nate was
cuddling with my girlfriend on her bed I was absolutely livid and I considered
rushing into the room and confronting them but then I decided to listen to
what he was telling her instead right there I heard them hatch together a plan
to ruin my basketball career before it even started Nate told her that he was
going to give her some performance-enhancing drugs to sneak
into my water bottle right before the game he'd then ensure that I was caught
cheating by pulling strings and forcing me to get tested after the game the
Scandal that the results would create would destroy any chance of any school
taking me in and he would finally win Cassie was totally on board word when
she giggled and kissed him between their
scheming she told them how the fact that I wasn't from a rich family had always
bothered her and that she was finally happy to dump me for good I barely
recall how I got home all I remember was that for hours I cried non-stop when I
was done crying though I got hit by a wave of clarity I knew what I had to do
for one I knew not to lose my guard around Cassie at all I didn't eat or
drink anything while with her the day of the game Cassie handed me my bottle
which she had definitely spiked I in turn promptly walked up to Nate and
started talking to him wishing him luck while I talked my brother who I told of
my plans stealthily returned Nate's bottle that he had snatched earlier it
too had been spiked I managed to outplay
Nate in every way possible and we won by a landslide right after the game a few
officials walked up to our team and demanded we all provide p in in blood
samples I told them that to be fair they had to ask our opponents for theirs too
and the principal and Coach agreed we all provided samples and as I saw Nate
had his I smiled right after that I walked up to Cassie packed her forehead
and told her it was over between us of course they found traces of the drug in
Nate it started such a scandal that I heard his dad had to move him to a
different state he lost all the opportunities he had and I went on to
choose the school ad and play for the University of Michigan where Jamal
Crawford had schooled I'm certain he knows that I was responsible for what
happened but he has no way of proving it without revealing that he planned it
Cassie called me for weeks after but I just kept ignoring it I knew that by
breaking up with her first finally she had lost the satisfaction that she
wanted to get from dumping me it felt so good to deny her that I really am glad
with how things worked out perhaps in another timeline the two of them would
reconsider trying to screw me over I don't know what's up with Nate chances
are that his parents money would get him somewhere but from all the info I have
he isn't playing college basketball anywhere pain eight if you're watching
this you got what you deserved it's awesome and sad all at the same time to
see this story share the highs and lows of sport like you see op when they're
younger enjoying the sport falling in love with it and learning to play it
becoming really good at it too and then you see the weird competitive ego side
of it where people stoop to as low as trying to put drugs in other people's
water just to screw up their future career it can be a beautiful thing and
it can be a disappointingly awful thing but with that being said that's all the
time we have for today now if you want to hear another absolutely crazy Revenge

my cousin opened his marriage then became jealous when his wife found other
partners while he did not leading to a full on violent Outburst against her
throw away for anonymity there's some really weird drama in my family and I
feel like I'm going insane so here's the
background my family is a little unusual there are three adults and two children
the adults are me my wife and another woman best described as my wife's
platonic life partner and also my very dear friend I'll call the partner Sally
Sally has lived with us for 20 years the kids call her ma we live in a
four-bedroom house and Sally and the kids each have their own bedrooms Sally
is aromantic and isual she and my wife love each other very much but
platonically Sally is like a sister to me I cannot overstate how incredibly
platonic her relationships with both of us have always been we're all very happy
together I've been super glad we have her since we had the kids parenting is
so much easier when you have a numerical Advantage my cousin Dave has been
married to his wife Mary for something like 15 years they have two kids Dave
talked Mary into opening the relationship about a year ago and now
they're getting divorced because he's struggling to find anyone willing to
date him Mary isn't and he's incredibly pissy about it and it's destroying their
relationship and by its I kind of mean he's HEK jealous and resentful making
that her problem and also now mine because he says it's my fault according
to him he thought it would totally work great because my family makes polygamy
and open relationships look easy which what setting aside that Sally's
relationships with both my wife and me are platonic there's no open
relationship in our household Sally and I each get a weekly date night with my
wife I take the kids on her night she takes them on mine I did say parenting
is easier with the numbers Advantage I think my wife and I have significantly
more quality time together than we would if it were just the two of us when the
kids can't sleep they go to Sally so my wife and I are never Disturbed after we
go to bed sometimes Sally and I go to games together and my wife takes the
kids then because she's not into sports ball no one in our house is dating
anyone from outside it these are committed relationships that are to all
intents and purposes exclusive none of us have ever mentioned seeing anyone
else even if we were witch again were not I don't see how that would make me
responsible for him treating Mary terribly because he's jealous somehow he
was apparently convinced that he and his Beer Gut would get all the girls but no
man would be interested in a Charming kind woman who keeps herself in
reasonable shape and bakes the best cupcakes you will ever taste I'd have
dismissed this out of hand but my aunt his mother and six other family members
agree that I'm the A and have been insisting I should apologize to my idiot
cousin and help him talk Mary into closing the relationship and staying
with him I like Mary we've been friends for 20 years and she's a good person I
am also friends with my wife and Sally and she is a wonderful Aunt to my kids
given the choice between her and Dave I'd keep Mary and the family along with
her kids someone in my family is insane here is it me or them who's the a
relevant comments all the consenting adults in your household are happy you
just keep it that way good for you if consenting adults in another household
are not happy it's none of your business and it's none of anyone else's business
to impose fixing that on you I would just keep pushing the nothing to do with
us lying and insisting on privacy n and your cousin Dave learned a hard lesson
that many men have learned they grossly underestimate how
attractive their partner will be and grossly overestimate how attractive they
will be when they beg to open a marriage I've read many stories on here that end
like Dave's she goes along to keep the marriage Lively and finds she's quite
the prize for others while bored boy gets left behind in the dust it makes me
L every time you had zero to do with Dave thinking he was going to get laid
left and right and getting a rude surprise instead he made that mess of a
bed and he can lay in it everyone in the
family pointing fingers at you is out of line tell them to SDF you and back off
or they'll never see or hear from any of
you again keep in touch with Mary though
shek lovely another user replies none of these dudes seem to stop to consider
that they living proof of their wives low standards and will not be difficult
to replace geez some people really think poam or Ace relationships are just
hidden SX party fantasies from bad adulteries and adult video games like
what did I just read like my dude cousin
bro you were a third partner to join you
you just didn't like that he was another dude you wanted an FFM fantasy but then
reality came crashing down on you and ta at all tell your dip sht cousin to go
back to his wank bank and to leave Mary out of it and I could totally see myself
in very similar situations during Co we moved in with another couple my wife and
his wife were both into crafting and would have craft dates and knitting
crotching nights and her husband would go play online with his friends and I
would spend time chilling and binge watching disaster videos and Airline
Communications my wife hates disaster stuff we had a system going that doesn't
mean we were boning and random people moving in is not going to make anybody's
life better update one day after the original post if it's too soon for an
update moderators I'll be happy to delete this I think I just need to type
it out to get some kind of clarity on what just happened sorry in advance it's
gone pretty dark my cousin Dave persuaded his wife Mary to open their
relationship now he's pissed she's dating and he isn't he was blaming me
because he claims my extremely closed relationship situation made open
relationships look easy just because there's a third adult in my family a
bunch of other people were hassling me to take the blame so far so stupid right
it turns out that unbeknownst to me Dave's sister Tina reads this sub a lot
and she saw my post and immediately figured out that it was me posting about
her brother and she won't tell me if she
was one of the commenters or not but for those of you who said that Dave was The
Golden Child Tina says you were right on the money
she called me this morning and like she seemed to find that really validating
and I have literally never heard her sound so happy she's usually pretty
depressed so thanks to everyone who decided to read into their family
Dynamics you did her a solid that was about 8:00 a.m. I had to get off the
phone to head to work and then at about I got a text from my wife that
just said come home now I got another one just as I was starting the car that
said the kids are fine which I really appreciate because that at least let me
change gears from Panic to concern at some point we might discuss that like it
would be good to include that in the first text anyway not the point I got
home as fast as I could I pulled up on the verge and tried to go in the front
door but the handle broken Mary's car was parked in the driveway I had to go
in through the garage inside there was my wife Mary and Mary's eldest jackm 12
Mary was banging around the kitchen and Jack was crying at my wife as I
understand it what happened was just before she called me Tina texted her
brother a link to the post and made some kind of comment about it I don't know
what exactly she said but Dave went into a rage like the kind I thought he grew
out of when we were teenagers breaking sht and screaming I thought the last
time he did it was the time he hit my little brother and I beat the sht out of
him I'm not saying it was right but we were kids I'm also not saying I'm sorry
tbh and then he hit Mary she's got a bruise coming up on her face F I'm
shaking writing this I feel like it's my fault I can't remember if we told her
that he used to be like that we honestly thought he'd grown out of it Mary
managed to get the kids in the car and drove straight to our place because she
knew there'd be someone home Sally's a stay at home mother and my wife works
from home some days so there's generally someone home Dave followed and tried to
force his way in apparently my expensive security door was worth the money
because he managed to damage the handle but the door stayed closed it seems he
gave up and ran when my wife yelled that I was on on my way home Jack burst into
tears while he and I were moving furniture so we talked and hugged for a
bit and now he's lying down in my bed because he was kind of rung out we're
waiting for a locksmith to fix the door as well after that we're going to take
him and Mary to the police station to make a report and give statements and
whatever's involved in all that Sally took our kids and Mary's youngest to my
parents place in case Dave came back they're too young for this sht but Jack
refused to leave his mother we're going to meet up with them after the police
station those of you who said we should adopt Mary are getting their wish at
least for now Jack's going to be sleeping in my youngest's big boy bed
the kidlet gets to stay in his cot and sleep in Sally's room for a bit and
Mary's youngest and my eldest will be sharing a room because they're only a
few months apart and they get along well Mary's sleeping on our couch until we
get all this figured out my youngest will probably think this is the best day
ever he hates his big boy bed and he's going to get a reprieve from the
transition plus he gets to share a room with his mom and there's cupcakes in the
house because Mary stress bakes and our kitchen counter is covered in cupcakes I
should add that according to Tina Dave I told his family that I talked him into
the open marriage thing specifically because I wanted to sleep with Mary plus
a bunch of other sht that I've honestly forgotten it's been an absolute h of a
day and it's only halfast 2 I'm pretty sure I just acquired a 12-year-old son
10 years early and seriously messed up at least for a while and I have to
figure out how I'm going to fit Jack's needs into my life without neglecting my
own kids I can't even tell if I'm exaggerating Jacks a wreck and maybe
those please be my dad now Vibes are temporary but maybe they're not you know
I'm going to end this now before I start rambling or keep rambling I don't even
know thanks to everyone for all of your input don't be mad at Tina I don't think
there's any way she could have predicted Dave would lose his mind second and
final update 2 days after the original post I didn't think another update would
be necessary but I forgot to log out of this account and my inbox says I was
wrong first of all an update on events for the people who were concerned Mary
and the kids will not be staying with us as charming and idea as that is this
weekend her brother will be coming to pick them up and they'll be going to
live with Mary's parents for now they live about 6 hours out of town so it's
not an easy drop off we're looking for a counselor for Jack who does tellah
health because there aren't really any in her parents small town I don't know
what's happening with the legal stuff it's only been a couple of days I'm not
sure anyone in entirely knows there were
a few General themes in the comments and DMs I got so I'm going to do some
collective replies those of you who were worried about Mary and the kids thank
you hopefully they'll be okay her family is rallying around and mine and my
wife's are all taking her side those of you who thought this was all fake okay
I'm not sure what you want me to do with that the person who kept spamming me
with hi Liz how did you not realize you had the wrong username for over 24 hours
what the hell those of you who thought the the story was unrealistic because I
was too heroic throughout hot damn thank you for noticing what a godam hero I am
what was your favorite part of all my heroics the part where I was ashad
teenager with anger issues the part where I got a text message and came home
after all the drama was over or the part where a traumatized child burst into
tears and I panicked so badly I thought it meant I had to be his dad now when
they make the movie I want Hugh Jackman to play me the people posting their Herm
Sister Wives fantasy as HD you're as bad as Dave but I'll allow that you spell
better if you can't even imagine the possibility that a man could have
friends who are women he does an F that's your problem if you can't imagine
that even when one of the women involved is aromantic and asual you might be a
problem the people who were concerned I was endangering Mary and the kids by
putting it in a post that Dave might see that they were in my house where he
already knew they were since he already knew I don't think so for all the people
who've been kind and sympathetic thank you you don't deserve all the sarcasm in
in this post and it's not directed at youou all lovely I'm just tired relevant
comments you and your family were there for Mary and her kids when they needed
help sometimes kindness is the only superpower a person needs I wonder what
is going through Dave's mind right now is it that op is a master manipulator
who managed to get Mary away from him as part of a cunning plan that played out
over 20 years culminating with a few days of Mary living with OP to flaunt
his victory before she moves in with her parents no doubt to Prov child care to
free up time for Mary and op's future Shenanigans or is it that he stupidly
blew up his own marriage I'll stick with NTA oh my God someone thought you were
Liz I'm so sorry oh op's reply I figured they were confused who is Liz I thought
I was on top of Reddit memes but I mostly go to basketball subs thank you

authors names are provided in the description let's get into the video is
Alex a jerk for what he does to Dennis long ago in another Universe aliens were
riding a galactic Comet with the power to destroy a Galaxy it traveled so fast
that it went into this universe and hit a radioactive star it was a supernova in
the aftermath of the radiation from the Star the comet morphed into something
bigger stronger and more durable a planet was born Nova but before the
explosion a family of three was exploring space outside of the Milky Way
Galaxy with their parents and their baby boy alex when the Supernova hit the
parents knew they would un alive but they had an escape pod that was
indestructible and also generated enough food and water for 80 years there was
little space so they decided to save Alex and when it hit they passed away
after Planet Nova formed Alex was in a Timeless Zone after millions of years of
evolution on Nova Alex was still a baby it was 2 years for him on Nova due to
the radiation the aliens look like humans and they all have powers there
are heroes in villains they are a futuristic Planet Alex eventually floats
out of the zone and lands on Nova like a
meteor on Earth he is adopted by his new
parents Dan and Jill Dan has fire powers
he is also a cop and Jill has ice powers
she is also a karate master Alex doesn't have powers so he is different and he
wants to be a hero so when he was 14 with his Science Tech and weapon smarts
and the help of his three friends Sam Max and Alice who all have electric
plant and teleportation Powers respectively Alice made a suit with
build-in weapons and power from kinetic energy now Alex can be a hero he is
known as Ultra X Alex has his first mission when criminals are robbing a
bank they knock out the guards with all of their super strength then Alex comes
in he learned karate from Jill and he also learned how to aim from Dan which
he uses with the mini crossbow on his wrist hidden in his shoulders are
nunchucks and a mace he has ninja stars and indestructible metal spiked baseball
bat and bouncy shoes because of the kinetic energy every time he gets hit
the suit recharges he is able to hold his own but it's too much until his
friends in their own Suits come to help altogether they clean the house and the
criminals are in jail they save the day the four go back to school where Alex is
still annoyed by Dennis his arch rival and Nemesis since third grade Dennis's
power is to make weapons out of thin air he hates Alex for not having flowers so
he treats Alex like trash that is why Alex hates Dennis in school Dennis tells
Alex about how he needed his loser friends to save him and without Powers
even with his suit he will never be a hero like Dennis also wants to be Alex
will just be a weakling that will get killed after a few fights Alex starts to
believe Dennis and doubts himself but then his friends defend him Dennis calls
the four wimps and runs off the others encourage Alex making him feel better
but that doubt is still in the back of his head Dennis Dawn his suit and starts
destroying villains but no one cares about him all he wants is positive
attention he is the type his parents never gave him before they unive he also
gets get neglected and used at his orphanage he is jealous of Alex because
he has friends and family that is why he
is a jerk no one cares about him because everyone loves Ultra X if Dennis can't
be the best hero he'll be the worst villain meanwhile Max is talking to
trees which is one of his powers he can talk to all plants since they are all
alive but only Max can hear them since trees are connected to the Earth they
see everything they see Dennis planning something bad but before they can warn
Max Alice teleports to him and grabs him for help with a crun
Dennis meets his only friends Jack Lily and Stacy who have toxic radiation
Shockwave and telekinesis Powers respectively they were also neglected
and abused by the orphanage he had four plans to destroy the city but first they
destroyed the orphanage unal living everyone and then they recruited lots of
bad guys to wreak havoc on the city first graders on a field trip are
trapped in a broken bus that has crashed
there is an evil group about to un alive them all then Dan shows up he gets
bruised but he is able to to win against the odds but he is badly injured in the
hospital Jill is by Dan's side and Alex would be there if he were not too busy
fighting to save lives Dennis learns about Dan then he wants to un alive his
Nemesis dad so he goes to un alive Dan but first he sends a group to beat up
Jill she holds her own but eventually gets too hurt to fight a tree tells Max
about the plan and Alex rushes to the hospital to save his dad but Jack Lily
and Stacy try to stop him Alex's friends
help Max fights Jack Sam fights Lily and Alice fights Stacy Jack's radiation
unives all the plants then he starts hitting Max with toxic radioactive blast
seeing all of his plant friends un alive makes Max sad and angry and it pushes
him to stop holding back he touches the ground and connects to all the plants
around the world they all attack at once then overpower and knock out Jack a
battle of thunder and lightning between Sam and Lily gets crazy they destroy
each other but Thunder is too powerful and Sam finds out she can move as fast
as 224,000 m per hour Sam's speed overpowers the Thunder and she defeats
Lily with a fast barrage of attacks Alice's teleportation is not enough for
Stacy she keeps hitting but Stacy will not stay down punches and kicks won't do
it and it does not help that her reflexes are not fast enough to D
Stacy's telekinetic attacks like throwing things at her but then Alice
finds out she can teleport anything to anywhere so she sends metal things onto
Stacy's head before landing the final punch Alex gets to the hospital at the
same time as Dennis and the fight is on they destroy each other they are equally
skilled Dennis keeps pulling out weapon after weapon it is too much for Alex to
handle Dennis breaks the nunchuks with a hammer and melts the mace with a blow
orch then crushes the wrist crossbow before Alex passed away he unleashes his
trump card where his suit CPU fights for
him it wrecks Dennis with karate and the
baseball bat before Dennis gets the jump
on Alex with a sword to the stomach with Alex impaled and on the floor Dennis
plans to un alive Dan and Jill with a chainsaw while Alex is on the floor he
sees the discarded sword and blorch he heats up the sword until it's glowing
hot when Dennis is about to finish Dan and Jill Alex charge at him with the hot
sword Dennis is impaled and they go through the window the heat is making
Dennis's blood boil so he is in pain before they hit the cement Max makes a
tree for them to Tumble through to cushion the blow so they can survive
Dennis is lucky to be alive but he his friends and the villains all go to
prison and swear to get revenge the group wonders what happened to the other
villain well it turned out that the rest of the
city had enough of their crimes and jumped them all together Alex Max Sam
Alice Dan and Jill are all in the hospital hurt but recovering Dan and
Jill are proud of Alex for saving their lives while Max Sam and Alice's parents
come in to check on their kids Dan gets promoted to a higher rank as a cop
because he saved those kids a month later Alex and friends are still
fighting crime Dan is a great cop Jill is a karate teacher and most importantly

hey everybody my name is Stephen and welcome back to the story time Channel
without wasting any time let's get into our stories of the day just shut up and
go do the job second hand and this happened a long time ago I was working
for the company at the time but had transferred to a different state but I
knew the guys as I used to work with them
it's a story from a previous job in the fuel industry where we were maintaining
service stations nationally for major global oil companies basically there
were two types of work contract and out of contract work you basically take on
the contract work at a break even the out of contract work you charge site
visit fees hourly rates bigger markup and that is actually where you make your
money this becomes important later the other thing that is important to the
story is that in a service station environment certain work requires
permitting oil company notification and an oil company engineer to attend this
is because flammable environments can exist there is potential for loss of
life and liability wise a contractor such as US was not allowed to work
without oil company supervision the cast the technician / fitter we had a great
guy working for us we'll call them Bob the guy had been in the Army for well
over a decade he was a Warrant Officer which was basically the highest non
officer rank you can get he knew his stuff technically and managerially and
woody left the military and went back to the tools and civilian life I'd imagine
it must have been hard what I found with ex-military especially non officer
people is that they are big on the chain of command and understand how to manage
up as they would often have to be in position of trying to get things done
without necessarily having the rank to order people to do things you see this
in so many of the officer vs. enlisted stories maybe I'm wrong and biased but I
have a lot of time for military people the work coordinator let's call her
Karen the 20 year old put into the position had delusions of adequacy she
had no idea what the jobs entail prerequisites permitting or even the
equipment required so she was put in charge of a team of technicians and
fitters now our job was to issue the work to the team meet SLA is for the oil
companies and to make sure the team had what they needed
etc and the A's to get engineers when required now if I've been put into a job
I don't know jack about my approach would be to listen to those doing the
work even try and spend a day on the road and generally be humble enough to
know I didn't know it all work in your team and they'll help you and cover your
back that wasn't her approach I didn't see the coordinator role as supervisor
to the guys on the road I think she did needless to say she didn't endear
herself to her team the incident now as Bob had been there a long time he
generally got a lot of the more complex stuff often when Karen rang him and
asked him to do a job he would have to advise her of what needed to happen what
might need hiring permitting requirements etc this may have been
frustrating for both parties but bob was smart enough to keep things cordial it
might have affected a solis for Karen who may have over-promised at times
without understanding the complexity of the job given he was talked down to a
lot I don't necessarily think her SL A's
were his highest priority anyway one day Karen attacked Bob off and Karen was
having a bad day a job came in that involved welding on a service station
this meant engineers gas testing permitting etc so Karen rings Bob and
issues the job Bob then says you're going to need to Karen interrupts and
says just shut up and go do the job and slams down the phone
apparently she then complained not for the first time to office colleagues that
getting Bob to do anything was really difficult there was always a
complication so Bob snaps and says freaking I will the aftermath now bob is
no idiot he knew the engineers knew the process
and I couldn't see him blowing himself up for anyone so how the relevant oil
company engineer accidentally shows up on site SES about
to do work in breach of safety regulations can only be guessed that the
engineer certainly indicated that it was random so now all heck breaks loose
upper management are summoned and torn a newbie hole but that was just the
beginning we are then suspended from setting foot on all of their sites
nationwide all non contract works are issued to our major competitor and the
contract work still ours problem is that we can't set foot on their sites and
still need to meet SLA s we then have to pay our major competitor to attend the
sites to do our at cost contract work and they're out of contract rates so I
can't remember whether it was 3 or 6 months that we were prevented from going
to sites certainly it was enough for the message to get through well Karen got
her butt kicked severely but to his credit the boss kind of realized that
there was a bit more to work our nation than a cheap 20 year old could handle
the boss was ticked and lost a heck of a lot of money Bob wasn't really popular
with the boss but knew he was complying with an order and had nothing on him
eventually there was a new coordinator approved Bob congratulations Bob if you
had a work coordinator who knew absolutely nothing and was pestering you
on what to do what would you do or what would you say let me know your course of
action in the comments below father does not get my point gets to
clean up after me for the next day so this happened with me and my father
while we were connecting a new fireplace to the chimney in 2016 this chimney was
unused for a long time and there were a jackdaw nests in there several
generations worth in fact I had promised to help clean the old chimney but I had
to pack clothes for a class trip I would
go on I was going to go to Italy with my class and we were driving there by bus
leaving Sunday evening not to waste a day of the week in Italy trying to get
there my father did tell me to clear the chimney during the weekend to do it I
needed to access the upper of two access ports to the chimney situated in the
cellar and the Attic and clear out the nests with a poker
taking them out in the cellar there was quite a lot of dust in there as well and
I wanted to have a contraption to hold the lower access ports shut in case all
the nests would fall down at once this contraption was built by my father at
his workplace where he had left it on Friday now I did not want to clear out
the chimney without the extra safety so I told him to get it on Saturday so I
could do it Saturday evening and leave him to clean up the fine dust and
smaller bits while I was gone he forgot to get it on Saturday as well so I told
him that I was not going to do it because the dust from old bird's nests
can have dried poop in it which is bad if you breathe it in also should the
accessport bust open this dust would go everywhere coating the whole cellar in a
layer of this disgusting mixture making it nearly impossible to clean however my
father totally missed the point and told me to step up to my word and to do it
anyways this ended up in a fight between us leading to him threatening to cancel
the class trip and ground me for a week so I ended up conceding so after the
long fight we had it was early evening and I could not do the whole task on
Saturday anymore I ended up preparing everything so I
would be able to do it quickly the next day so I would hopefully still be able
to take a good long shower and pack my bags without too much stress and then
there I saw my chance my father got called for an emergency at the workplace
he told me he would be back after I left and wished me a nice trip to this day I
do not know why I did this the way I did it but here is the story I closed off
the lower access port and poked through the upper one to get the nests out
normally you do not start at the top because all the nests accumulate and
fall down with more force than necessary this is exactly what I did I poked
upwards destroying the more recent nests and making them fall this resulted in
what I would describe as a dust and bird poop tsunami that crashed through the
lower access panel with ease this ended up being around 30 to 50 kilograms worth
of material I waited for the dust to settle and went
in with a dust mask to examine the damage and clean up the bulk the whole
seller wreaked of old dusty bird poop and everything except for the laundry
room which I had closed off due to wet clothes being in there was caked with
fine dust I cleared out the bulk of the nests meaning the twigs eggshells and
large chunks of poop showered packed my bags and left for Italy before he came
back but I left them a message on a note at the door to the cellar translated it
means I told you so but with more colorful language that I sadly could not
translate properly the aftermath my father was obviously not too happy but
he had a week to think about what happened he did send me a message that
said this would be my last days ungrounded
but eventually just cleaned the dust up and never talked about the issue again
we were better to each other after that so I think he got my point well I'm glad
at the end of this super messy malicious
compliance story things improved for the
two of them relationship wise I'm really glad that they could bond over this old
dusty bird poop sweet compliance it is so as everyone knows most of the world
is quarantined right now and we all have
to stay home students have their lessons and online meetings and so do we
so last Tuesday our technology teacher gave us a few assignments with the hand
in time being p.m. on Thursday for some reason she told us we are meeting
for an online lesson at a.m. on Wednesday we all got into the meeting
and it was just awful you almost couldn't hear her and everything she
explained to her at least tried to was way out of our league stuff we had never
even heard or seen before I think it's also important to mention that we are a
small group of just eight students in that course at the end of the lesson she
asks if there were any questions she didn't know we were talking about how
none of what she says made sense and we were so confused in our whatsapp group I
asked about one thing but everyone just said that it doesn't make sense since
she can't explain anyway and we wouldn't get it no matter what
so Thursday comes around no one has done any of the assignments yet obviously as
if we were all too stupid there's something I wake up look at my phone and
see you there's a new message from the teacher it was around 10 a.m. she wrote
in our group hey guys they have not received any
solutions for the assignments I gave you yet don't forget about them we were all
like yeah we'll hand them in later thank
you for the heads up so it turns 11 a.m. I get another message I am currently
working on the assignments definitely not copying my answers from Wikipedia
she writes guys no one has handed in their work yet I'd like to know why it
shouldn't be too hard and she was right it wasn't Google and Wikipedia explained
it so easy it was no problem we started chatting on whatsapp about what was up
and why she was writing us already thinking we might have misread the due
time we didn't 12 p.m. and another message still nothing what's wrong guys
as soon as we saw the message we were in
a call doing the rest of the assignments at that time without the teacher
obviously we all started thinking the same we were all super annoyed due time
was p.m. not 12 p.m. we did the rest of the
assignments and sure enough 1 p.m. and another message rolled in she was
getting quite mad at us and asked again why didn't we hand in anything yet no
one replied we chatted in the whatsapp group again everyone was getting so
annoyed at her we didn't like her as a teacher before anyway so we decided to
all hand in the assignments at p.m. as we were supposed to sure enough we
got a message every hour asking why there hasn't been any solution sanded in
yet we didn't answer at 8 p.m. she said it's now getting late and we are
starting to make her really angry she might have to inform our parents about
this that was the point we all knew she was definitely not a keeper as a teacher
so it's due time we hand in everything she writes us
Friday morning 6:00 a.m. I think you don't know how rude of you this was I
thought we had a great connection we are having a meet up at 8:30
none of us showed up to the meeting as we were all still asleep she called our
parents later that day and complained how rude we were and how they should
have told us to hand in our assignments on time my mom says to her
my son is old enough I am NOT in charge of telling him what and when to do
anything and as far as I'm concerned he handed in everything on time if you've
got any problems with his work speak to him but he didn't do anything wrong and
he followed your rules you are not the only teacher he has and he already gets
enough assignments by and hangs up the teacher didn't say anything about our
work since then and never pressured us with such messages since then yeah I
could imagine it being a little annoying every half-hour getting a where's all
the work you haven't done your work yet you'll tell us what time to come in for
our final presentation sounds great let's set the scene it's 2017 I was in a
three-month internship that turned out to be not exactly what I thought it
would be to other students and I were sent down to work with an environmental
group before going there we were given about zero prep but we're told that once
we got there the organization would have all the details and everything worked
out so that was a lie we get there and immediately it's a huge chore to get
them to give us anything to do they're good people trying to do good but they
have no idea what to do with us several times they go in to meet my supervisor
at our designated times and he's just not there no one knows where he is I
ended up cataloging all the books in their library it was frustrating to say
the least to go in every week and beg for them to give us tasks towards the
end we started giving up just dealing with the minute plans they do give us
now the story we're set to leave in a couple weeks so our supervisors tell us
that we should give short presentations on our work
the past three months cool whatever I can talk about cataloging for five minutes
Oh our work was in Spanish which is my second language so I'm being sure when
making my PowerPoint that everything is grammatically correct and stuff we go in
a week before our presentation and have the following convo what day should we
do the presentation I think Friday is best that's when everyone is in the
office what time hmm not sure I'll call you before the day I'm sure you can see
where this is going the days go by no phone call Thursday night rolls around
and we decide that we're tired of getting jerked around by this
organization if they don't call before noon tomorrow we flew out on a Saturday
and had to pack and say goodbye to people we wouldn't go well one of the
supervisors finally calls us at ish asks why we're not in yet sorry boss
he said he'd call before the day we have early flight so we're not coming in to
give our presentations there wasn't much fallout our academic advisors back at
university were a bit angry with us but couldn't get us in trouble for anything
and we three already had other references it was a bit poopy but it
felt very liberating thanks for reading that would suck just having to stand
around and catalog books all day constantly because that's just all you
can do but with that being said that's all the stories we have for today so
what I want to know is which of these stories was the most interesting to you

down after Emma announced that she was pregnant in around 5 months down my mom
and dad had a slow reaction while my sister put up a fake smile and gave me a
side eye Emma later said that her baby would be having Down syndrome too off
course I was trying to comprehend this and I told them that this is selfish and
they're ruining the baby's life and they
shouldn't have reproduced when they knew that the baby would suffer the same
disability my brother had a rough childhood he was tortured physically and
mentally by his own body bullying and discrimination Etc were tough for him
and it broke our heart too I couldn't see my niece / neew suffering the same
way and going through the same pain my brother went through Emma is disabled
too so it would be tough on her and the baby while giving birth my mom and
brother were Furious I said that disability doesn't stop them from having

aita for wanting to divorce my husband after he chose going to his friend's
house over coming home to take care of the kids while I'm sick my husband 35m
goes to his friend's house every Tuesday
night to play video games while I have a
night with the kids 3 and six I 35f have had a fever and body aches with a stiff
neck since Friday but have went to work at my labor job because it's the kind of
place that will fire you if you don't show up for any reason my point is I'm
exhausted from the day and in major pain with a fever I texted my husband right
before he left work and told him I was still in pain and sent a picture of the
thermometer with a 101.9 on it I asked him to please come home to do the kids
bath /d/ bedtime but I said never mind I
don't want to be a burden in the past he
has been Huffy if I ask him to stay home
for whatever reason his response is okay I then said he would be my night in
shining armor my Disney prince if he did come home but that I understand his
personality is more like Hades from the movie Hercules he says you just compared
me to the devil and want me to agree I said yes but my personality is like Meg
from the same movie or maybe even Meg from Family Guy and that's why we go
well together self-deprecating humor is my specialty I do make jokes at my own
expense a lot I probably need therapy but whatever I don't have the money he
sends me a couple of gifts of Hades thumbing up and we laugh about | give me a good story on AITAHforwantingtodivorcemyhusbandafterhechosegoingtohisfriendshouseovercomingorig |

AIT for admitting to my sister that I was not surprised at all that her
daughter disobeyed her my sister was a single mom to my niece Ellie for 8 years
then she met her husband rich and very quickly she ended up pregnant Ellie
really didn't know Rich At All by that point and she wasn't thrilled my sister
was of the opinion that Ellie would come around in time after baby Liam was born
my sister set up these cut photo shoots for Ellie and Liam and she involved
Ellie in the pregnancy which was something Ellie resisted doing but my
sister basically gave her no choice when Liam was one my sister found out that
Ellie and her BFF Hazel were talking about the new half siblings in their Liv
Hazel's half sister was born a couple of
months before Liam was and neither their half sibling a real sibling my sister
heard Hazel and Ellie say they didn't love or care about their half siblings
their stepdads and how they didn't have a real family anymore Hazel claimed her
mom replaced her dad and that she would never want the replacement family Ellie
told Hazel she missed it being just her and her mom and she never wanted a dad
like her mom seemed to think she also said Liam was just a baby she didn't get
all affectionate and protective like most of the family said she would she
said if rich took Liam and left left for
good she would be kind of glad my sister contacted Hazel's mom and stepdad and
she told them Hazel was no longer welcome in our house when Ellie didn't
change toward Liam afterward she told her she could no longer see Hazel
anymore and their friendship was over my sister told me about it at the time and
I asked her how she was planning to do that and wouldn't therapy be better she
said they just feed off each other too much she went to their school to try and
get them separated but the school refused she wanted me to pay for Ellie
to go to a private school to get her away from Hazel but I said no now Ellie
is 15 and surprising few except for my sister and a small bit Ellie and Hazel
are still friends at school and have never lost contact apparently neither
girl feels very different either Ellie now has a new half sister Olivia and
Hazel has two half Brothers my sister lost her when she found out and
when she confronted Ellie she was told by Ellie that Hazel is the most
important person to her anymore and she would never give her up for them my
sister grounded Ellie and has tried to make her want to stay away from Hazel
but it doesn't work my sister has brought this up a few times since
finding out and the other day she accused me of not ever appearing
surprised that Ellie disobeyed her I admitted that I was and I always knew
trying to take Ellie's best friend from her would be something Ellie wouldn't go
along with my sister accused me of not being honest with her by not saying this
sooner and of wanting her marriage and family to fail she also accused me of
being arrogant and thinking I know Ellie better than she does she also claimed I
knew and had seen the girls together which is untrue AIT t | give me a good story on AITAforadmittingtomysisterthatIwasnotsurprisedatallthatherdaughterdisobeyedherorig |

today we've got a crazy nuclear Revenge story against a bunch of Mean Girls
we'll get into that in a bit but first I snitched on my former roommate and her
boyfriend most people can already tell when their roommate is going to be a
jerk but that was not the case with my roommate and me I also didn't get back
at my roommate for something she did to me I know it's weird but I had my own
story we met online and became friends my virtual friends set up a book club
for introverts and I sent her a private message asking her to join in I had just
moved to the city and I didn't know anyone I wanted to make new friends and
meet new people but I was also trying to build a strong career and barely had
time to go out to events and all these things where people meet people when I
saw that my virtual friend had started a virtual book club that I didn't have to
leave the house for I was overjoyed I sent her a private message letting her
know that I was interested in joining her book club before I got my job I was
avidly ready my mom would joke that I consume rather than read books I
thoroughly enjoyed reading books when I got my job however I barely had time to
do any reading I wanted to revive my reading habits as well as meet new
people so the club was a win for me on every level I was hoping you'd join in
my virtual friend exclaimed when I told her about my intentions I used to read
your book reviews and I loved them why did you stop I said my job is very
demanding I barely have the time to read anymore I totally understand she said I
met someone online she writes the most brilliant and witty reviews too I think
you'll like her she gave me the girl's username and I sent her a friend request
after reading her reviews she was indeed
a witty writer and I was chuffed to find
out that she lived in the city I'm happy to finally meet a female writer in the
city she said to me when I sent her a message are there no female writers
around here she said well there are but none of them are like you you know like
us the US made me feel so close to her like we had something special that made
us Superior I had never been an us before that I'm not a writer I said to
her nonsense she said I imagined her saying nonsense and sounding like a
British lady you are a writer I've not written anything in years I said
somewhat glad for the positive affirmation she said okay are you
asexual because you haven't had sex in a long time
um no she said see that you haven't written in a while does not make you a
not writer I laughed what is a not writer people who don't write the
Outlaws we both laughed and I liked her immediately for the next couple of weeks
we would text consistently she told me she was a freelance writer she had
Parents and a rich brother who took care of her bills she came off as a spoiled
girl but not a brat someone that was being taken care of by financially but
was still very much connected to reality she wanted to write her first book but
was still Gathering the materials and taking her time I encouraged her to take
her time I would text her frequently to complain about my job my workload and my
co-workers and she would say the most soothing stuff I enjoyed talking to her
and felt she had the most insightful things to contribute to every
conversation she also would never hold back on cursing out my boss or
colleagues at work whenever I complained to her at the time I wondered if her
freelance clients never bothered her she never complained about them and she
never praised them either she just never
spoke of them I would ask her if she was working on any project or writing
anything and she would say oh just my novel and then change the topic one day
she texted me that she was in a hotel and would be staying there for a while
first I wondered how she could afford to
stay in the hotel for a long time it was a nice hotel in the city secondly I
wondered why she left her old apartment her apartment was Tiny But she loved it
it was close to the coffee shop where she gets her riding done and it was in
the middle of the city she always said she loved the noise in the crowd she
never told me why she moved out I subtly mentioned it so she could tell me but
she still did not I decided not to think too much about it my virtual friend was
after all a spontaneous girl and was the kind of person to just decide that
renting an apartment was simply no longer for her while she was living at
the hotel my roommate told me that she was moving out her boyfriend wanted to
live together and since I couldn't excuse them I moved into the apartment
first and she had asked me if I want to live somewhere else so her boyfriend
could move in but I disagreed she decided that they would find a new place
that meant that I had to look for a roommate so I wouldn't have to pay the
whole rent the month after my roommate leaves I had told everyone wanted work
that I needed a roommate but no one was looking and my roommate was moving out
at the end of that month my virtual friend turned ex-roommate was already
bothering me about meeting up we hardly ever had time to meet because on most
weekends she was out with her boyfriend and on weekdays I was busy with work
finally we decided to meet up for coffee at her favorite coffee shop it was a
public holiday so it worked perfectly for both of us we were very happy to see
each other I had worried that things were going to be awkward but that didn't
happen we talked like we'd known each other for a very long time on our second
coffee date I told her that I was looking for a roommate I didn't think
that she would want to be my roommate I only hoped that she would talk to her
friends since she knew the city better than I did oh my God I could move in
with you we could be roomies she did a little dancing around the table I wasn't
sure it was a good idea since it was only our second meeting but she was so
excited about it so I caught the bug too when I told my roommate when she was
leaving about my plan to have my new friend move in she was skeptical I don't
know honey did you not just meet her I just did but she's such a delight we
already have such a strong connection she Shrugged and wished me luck I
perfectly understood her skepticism my mom had always said that who you live
with can make or marry you that includes a spouse romantic partner or roommate
having a problematic roommate was too much of a problem and it made no sense
to return from a hectic day at work to a terrible roommate the thing with my
former roommate was fun at first I would hurry back from work so we could go out
for drinks together she was nearly always home during the day and would be
so happy to see me I always wondered why she didn't want to get her regular job
since she was so bored and if she was working on her book why did I hardly
ever see her write anything I also wondered how she could afford rent I
knew her parents sent her money and so did her brother but how was that
sufficient for her to just sit by and do nothing asides from rent she always
filled up the fridge and she had many designer purses shoes and makeup she
could also afford to buy food from expensive restaurants she had a
boyfriend and they spoke often but he never came over and she never introduced
us but that didn't bother me at all I would ask her to say hello to him for me
whenever they were talking on the phone one day I returned from work and saw her
crying it was strange to me because I had never seen her cry after many
minutes of asking what was wrong she finally told me that she had just broken
up with her boyfriend why oh dear I thought everything was fine he promised
to leave his wife she yelled and burst out crying again it was at that moment
that I understood everything that had been going on my former roommate was
seeing a married man and he'd been the one mostly paying for all the expensive
stuff she buys I tried very hard to not be judgmental but I couldn't help it my
dad left my mom for a younger woman when his business took off and my mom was
devastated before he left her he was openly cheating on my mom with his
girlfriend it was humiliating for our family naturally I didn't approve of
anyone dating married men she must have noticed the sour look on my face don't
judge me she screamed I'm not judging I said alarmed I had also never seen her
scream I know you judge me I see how you look whenever I'm talking to him I
didn't even know you were dating a married man until now she stood and
started to Pace calm down I could do you think you'll leave her I said no many
men lie about leaving their wives they hardly ever leave after that day I
stopped seeing my roommate in the same light our conversations lessened and we
hardly went out to do fun things she soon got back together with him because
I heard her talking to him many times one day I was in the kitchen doing the
dishes when she walked up to me you never asked what happened with my
boyfriend she accused what you didn't care to do a follow-up we're supposed to
be friends I said I'm sorry I just didn't see how I could feel sorry for
you the only person who anyone should be sorry for is his wife her husband is
cheating I tried to say that as quietly as I could but I was very upset she says
whose side are you on I said I'm not on any side why don't you just find your
own man you're beautiful and smart and she walked away from me before I could
complete my sentence that was what drove
a wedge between my roommate we went from barely talking to not even talking at
all I knew I ought of not have turned away from her like that but all I could
think of was How the Other Woman must have been feeling I know how bad my mom
felt when my dad was cheating on her I finally saw my roommate and her
boyfriend at a restaurant one day they were in a private corner of the
restaurant I only knew that part of the restaurant because my former roommate
and I used to eat there I had expected a
middle-aged man but he was quite younger than I expected him to be when she
returned home that evening I asked how she was she looked excited so I figured
she had gotten some great news he's finally going to leave her she exclaimed
I'm so relieved why do you care anyway judgy I said I'm not being judgmental I
genuinely want you to be happy I meant that but what I didn't say was that I
wanted her to be happy with someone who wasn't someone else's husband oh well
she said Shrugged and then suddenly transformed into the happy bubbly
roommate I knew it's going to be a slow process though because we don't want her
to take all the money and get custody of their child my man is trying to take it
slowly so she has nothing against him I nodded slowly and managed to force a
smile he wants to get the house she said again what he wants the house that's a
major reason for his carefulness he wants me to move into that same house
with him the household sentimental value to him it used to be his parents but
they sold it to him when they wanted to sell it and he couldn't bear to see some
someone else live in his beloved house she went on and on about how he'd
proposed to her as soon as his divorce was in court I was irritated but I tried
very hard to mask it I decided I was going to help the other woman get
Justice I couldn't stop her husband from leaving her for my roommate but I could
at least ensure that she got the house and took all or nearly all his money I
started to wait for when my roommate would leave the house so I could be
alone with her computer I knew there would be evidence of their relationships
somewhere she was that crazy about him true to my thoughts they had taken many
half naked pictures together in luxurious hotel rooms I took pictures of
those with my phone because we didn't have a printer I then checked thoroughly
for his name and searched for him online
I found him and found his wife's profile too since I couldn't send his wife the
photos with my real social media account I opened a burner account and sent her
the photos his wife had a girl did just as I hoped she would she took the house
nearly all his money their dog and their daughter from what it looked like he
probably wasn't even going to leave his wife he only said it to discourage my
roommate from leaving him his wife left him though and while that made my
roommate happy for a while she was glad they could finally be together she
became quite miserable when she saw her boyfriend try very hard to get his wife
back when she didn't take him back he became very sad and wouldn't treat my
roommate right he eventually ghosted her and left the city I don't think my
roommate ever suspected that I did it I felt sorry for her but I just couldn't
watch another woman get hurt I'm not gonna lie I think op's roommate is not
the brightest if they really had no inkling of suspection that op was
involved I guess if the wife finding out because of those photos was not ever
disclosed ever then I guess Opie could get away with it because then the
roommate would just think that the wife's just trying to take everything
like she feared then said our next story is showing the Mean Girls out I've
always been a reader and I used to think that the popular kid becomes friends
with a loser Trope was unrealistic until it happened to me I'm a 24 year old
woman so all of this is behind me but I've been up too long and wandering down
the rabbit hole that is Reddit so this is me sharing my own story my family was
the average divorced family my father lived in a different city entirely and
only had us for one holiday a year and we lived with my mother for most of the
Year there were three of us my older sister myself and my little brother we
were very close in age which meant that there were a lot of fights as children
and we only became close as adults unfortunately these fights affected me a
little more than they should have coupled with the fact that I was the
middle child and an automatic Rebel it was a hard childhood I was very much
into art and literature in high school and I made sure to look the part of a
tortured artist or or what we call the emo kid today naturally I kept a diary
where I put all of my little feelings and I kept it in my locker I wasn't
popular nor did I care about that because I was too much in my own world
to give a darn about what was going on around me plus I had too much to do as I
said I was really into art and literature and so I was in charge of a
lot of things I was a part of the school's journalism team and I did
summary Columns of two books every week I also worked behind the scene for the
theater kids as a stagehand so I was really occupied at school back home my
mother had me doing a few things for the church as well and I was basically my
little brother's permanent babysitter I was always always doing something
because of that I didn't really have that many friends beside the people I
worked with and while it was nice to hang out with them during the time we
worked in school together once everything was over they went back to
their various lives and it was just me as a team teenager the loneliness begins
to get to you after some time and you begin to wish for more than you already
have I just wanted a friend to have similar interests as me I didn't let
myself think about it too much but it was the last thing I wrote in my diary
the last time I saw it I wasn't too attached to my diary and if I'm being
honest it was more like a planner and a means to record how I was feeling at the
end of every week I only wrote A Lot in it when I was feeling particularly
stressed and the week that I wrote about
wanting friends was a stressful week for me my family had been stressing me out
the school had decided to ban all of the books that I'd had reviewed after the
school paper had been published so about a month's worth of papers had to be
retrieved and redone it wasn't my fault because the band came after I had turned
the work in but my co-workers decided to be jerks about it we were also having
midterms at the same time so all of it was at my throat and I was is really
just exhausted by the rest of the world I had been updating my diary the entire
week with the happenings in my life and naturally I said some mean things about
my co-workers and teachers and family and everyone that had crossed my path
and annoyed me in the slightest I noticed that my diary was missing after
two weeks since I'd last written in it because that was when I was finally able
to relax after midterms I didn't Panic initially because I expected that if it
wasn't in my school locker where I always left it during the week it would
be home I'm not a careless person and I have a great memory so accidents like
forgetting my diary were out of the question after a weekend of searching I
became panicked the next week my entire life turned upside down I came to school
to see torn out Pages for my diary placed all over the walls and an angry
mob of students waiting for me inside a classroom my co-workers threatened to
kick me out of the journalism team they couldn't until a teacher approved it and
the theater kid straight up told me that I was not allowed anywhere near their
sets anymore apparently my diary had been uploaded online and everyone had a
piece of it I knew that I didn't say anything remotely serious enough to
elicit that reaction from them but we were teenagers everything was a reason
to be emotional I was hounded until the principal called me to her office with
the most pitiful look on her face she apologized to me on behalf of all the
students and share that she understood how it felt to be in front of everyone's
temper she had also read the contents and told me that it wasn't as bad and
the students were being a little dramatic and promised to find out who
broke into my locker and took out my private property I was also given the
option of taking two days off school for things to die down which I took
wholeheartedly because who wouldn't however when I returned to school I saw
banners with my face on them I went straight to the principal to complain
that I was getting bullied but she was gleeful and told me that three girls had
randomly taken interest in the case and wanted to sensitize the school about
being kind or something of the sort it was weird and uncomfortable mainly
because I'd already gotten attention and hoped that the break would make things
die down a bit but the girls were sweet in their message however overly
theatrical was good too they preached about not invading your friend's privacy
very simple very off and very cute people were more forgiving towards me
after three pretty and popular girls spoke about kindness so it didn't seem
all bad because I went back to work and they left me alone but when they
approached me during lunch one day and sat at my table things took quite a turn
I'll call them Daisy Maisie and Roe Daisy was obviously the leader Maisie
her twin sister and Roe their childhood best friend they weren't dumb or
anything but they were rich and had parents who were never around they
invited me to parties and I started out refusing but once my mother heard about
it she basically put me in clothes and forced me out the door the parties were
nice they involved me and we had fun so much so that we started regularly
hanging out together I became one of them the quieter one that dressed a lot
like Adam Sandler in the summer but we worked they didn't get a lot of things I
liked like my super Emo music and love of bands and Hot Topics but we still
found a ways to have fun they made their parents buy the school newspapers in
bulk which meant more money for the journalism team and they showed up to
whatever plays I assisted in with large banners that had my name on them I
didn't want to explain that it wasn't how it worked but the gesture was sweet
so I didn't bother it felt like a good thing had come from my little messy
situation so I just enjoyed it I was basically the keeper of all their
secrets and I knew everything about them
including some gory details that weren't worth mentioning to the public things
were great for three years from the 9th grade to the 11th and then we went for
the summer break before senior Year my parents took a trip to Morocco to see my
mom's family and we had a great time naturally communication was low and I
missed my friends Upon returning I expected that we would have the best
time and reminisce about how much we missed each other instead we only hung
out in school and only during lunch one weekend I decided that I would go see
them as a surprise so that I could give all of them all the cute things I got
them all abroad Daisy and maisie's parents were fighting downstairs and
waved me off as usual I went upstairs and just as I was about to knock I heard
that they were having a heated conversation I didn't understand it at
the time but I later understood that Roe felt guilty that they had been using me
as a charity case for so long and wanted to be honest because we were now pretty
close I figured it out two weeks later when my little brother who was in ninth
grade and among among the media team and film club that was in charge of
Photography and videography asked to show me a video it was one of my three
best friends talking about how I was a successful charity case and it was going
so well that they actually wanted to keep me they were also the ones to steal
my diary from my locker it made sense now because Ro knew how to Jimmy any
lock and she had confessed to it on many occasions it was a blatant school
project and I was devastated that I let myself fall for it the worst parts were
that they were still acting very chummy with me and it made me so uncomfortable
I couldn't believe that what could have been a good and quiet High School run
was ruined by three bored girls it was a
Saturday morning when I went to the mall to buy a new red diary to document all
the ways I was going to get back at my best friends to start with Maisie and
Roe were both sleeping with Daisy's boyfriend they had both individually
confided in me because I looked like I knew something and poor Daisy had no
idea I had all of their passwords because they shared their passwords with
each other in case any of them died I had lied about mine thankfully but I
could get into their social media accounts to get all the evidence that I
could I prepared receipts into the silliest little videos and kept them
safely in a flash drive right before our final exams Daisy and Maisie confessed
that their parents were on the brink of a divorce and we were waiting for them
to be finished with high school it was a stressful time for them and I almost
felt bad but seeing more text between all three of them in their super private
group chat that I wasn't on made me understand that they didn't feel remorse
for being jerks I waited until our final class event before graduation which was
an outdoor Cinema and then I went to give the flash drive to the kid who was
in charge of playing sappy little videos onto a projector before we would watch
the movie I also did well to email it to all all three of their parents before
walking out of the scene it was just as messy as I had anticipated and all three
of them got into a catfight that made noses and mouths bleed but it could have
been an overstatement the twins parents eventually separated and they were
shipped to a Christian College in London where they had to wear uniforms instead
of UCLA as they originally had planned Rose parents were very religious and
they were so mad that they sent her to a
community college and replaced her shiny Bentley with a Toyota Corolla in rich
kid lingo it was a nightmare my little brother to this day is the only one who
knows what I did and we still have inside jokes about it so you're telling
me that they did this charity case thing as a school project I mean I would hope
that whatever teacher if they caught wind of this or saw this would give them
an F for the ethics of that imagine fooling and stringing someone along for
years just for a project whether or not you find out that you actually do like
the person and want to be their friend the whole thing is so foundationally
screwed up but with that being said that's all the time we have for today

:17.040 --> :21.360 I am a 27 year old female, and I have
a twin sister. We’re identical twins :21.360 --> :25.680
who were born exactly 13 seconds after
each other, (she always says it counts,
:25.680 --> :30.080 but I don't think it does) so we have pretty
much been attached at the hip from birth. :30.080 --> :33.760
Before we were even born, the scans showed us as one child,
:33.760 --> :38.400 with one synchronized heartbeat and one of
each body part. You can imagine the shock
:38.400 --> :43.440 when my mother started to push and birthed
two girls instead of one. She used to joke
:43.440 --> :48.160 that we were one soul divided into two
people, and we genuinely did believe it. :48.160 --> :52.160
Both of our first names start with M, so
we've always been called M n’ M, (like :52.160 --> :56.400
the chocolate) by family and friends. It
started when we got into kindergarten, :56.400 --> :00.320
and continued through elementary and high
school. We were never apart for long, :00.320 --> :05.360
because I couldn't function without her, and
she didn't speak to anyone unless I was around. :05.360 --> :09.440
My mother always used to say that it was much
harder to tell us apart when we were little
:09.440 --> :13.920 because we were born tricksters. We would
answer each other's names and exchange :13.920 --> :18.480
clothes when she wasn't watching, just so
she wouldn't realize who was who. Of course,
:18.480 --> :24.560
she was our mother, so she knew, but every now and
then she would play along just to entertain us.
:24.560 --> :28.560 Besides our parents, no one else could
tell us apart. We were dark haired, :28.560 --> :32.560
green eyed girls who spoke in a language
that no one else could understand. :32.560 --> :37.440
My twin sister and I were so inseparable that
we never left each other's side. We slept in
:37.440 --> :43.520
the same beds, walked together everywhere, and
we even fell sick together. If I broke my arm,
:43.520 --> :49.200 my sister felt the pain just as intensely as
I did, and vice versa. I knew what she was
:49.200 --> :55.200
thinking because it was what I thought about too,
and we always completed each other’s sentences. :55.200 --> :59.440
Up until high school, people could barely
tell us apart. We dressed identical, :59.440 --> :02.800
sat beside each other all the time and just when a teacher or
:02.800 --> :06.240 a classmate thought that they had figured
us out, we tricked them by pretending to
:06.240 --> :11.440 be each other. Having a twin was amazing,
because it felt like having two of myself. :11.440 --> :16.800
In our senior year, my sister had a crush on a
boy. It felt strange because it was the first
:16.800 --> :22.560 time both of us had ever had an emotion that
wasn't collective to us both and I was livid.
:22.560 --> :26.800 I tried to disrupt her emotions as much
as I could, but my sister was a little :26.800 --> :31.280
more strong willed than me, so she didn't
listen to me. After talking to my mother
:31.280 --> :35.760 about the situation, she advised me
to allow my sister to live her life, :35.760 --> :41.040
because as much as it felt like we were
the same person, we really were not. :41.040 --> :46.000
In order to allow my sister to be happy with her
now boyfriend, I began to dress differently from
:46.000 --> :51.120
her; not so much that it was painfully obvious to
everyone, but enough that he could tell us apart.
:51.120 --> :56.480 I felt like a third wheel, going everywhere
with my sister and her boyfriend, so I also
:56.480 --> :01.840
started to detach. This meant that I spent less
time with my twin sister and more time alone.
:01.840 --> :07.520
It felt similar to heartbreak, what I felt after
we drifted apart, but at least it made room for me
:07.520 --> :12.960
to make other friends. I soon became close with
the girl that would be my second best friend,
:12.960 --> :16.880 let's call her Z. It wasn't the
same as having my sister around me, :16.880 --> :22.080
but Z was a really good friend and I enjoyed
having her around. It was even better that she
:22.080 --> :27.600
planned to go to the same college as my sister and
I, so I knew that we would be friends for a while :27.600 --> :31.840
Z and I got so close that I stopped
feeling like such a bother to my sister,
:32.400 --> :37.200
but it also meant that I didn't notice when my
sister and her boyfriend went through a breakup.
:37.200 --> :41.520 I found out two weeks after it had happened
because our mother casually said it at dinner,
:41.520 --> :46.800 and I felt so hurt that my sister hadn't
told me. That was the first big fight we had,
:46.800 --> :51.280 and she made it seem like it was all my
fault for not paying any attention to her. :51.280 --> :56.160
We didn't speak to each other for two weeks,
only starting to talk again because our mother
:56.160 --> :00.240 threatened us with a week of staying alone
at home while she and our father went on a
:00.240 --> :06.480
road trip. My twin sister and I talked it out,
cried it out and soon we were closer than ever. :06.480 --> :12.960
It became my sister and me, and Z. We were an
unstoppable trio and even became roommates in
:12.960 --> :18.880
college. I finally felt complete and happy. In
college, my twin and I resumed being tricksters,
:18.880 --> :22.800 attending classes in place of each other
and dressing identical so that we could
:22.800 --> :28.720 scare people into thinking we were just one
person. It worked on a lot of people, as usual,
:28.720 --> :34.720 until I decided that I wanted to dye my hair.
My sister was against it, but when I suggested it,
:34.720 --> :40.320
she also refused to dye her own hair to match
mine. I tried to convince her, but she was adamant
:40.320 --> :45.200
that we didn't need to dye our hair at all. I
thought that if I dyed mine first, she would feel
:45.200 --> :51.280
a little more comfortable and then dye hers, but
her reaction was the very opposite of that. She
:51.280 --> :57.200
completely freaked out and went berserk, calling
me a traitor and stomping out of our dorm room. :57.200 --> :02.240
Something changed in my sister after that
incident. I did not know what it was, :02.240 --> :05.760
but she became wilder and didn't
care much about school anymore. :05.760 --> :08.960
I had to get a wig that was similar
to her hair so that I could take some :08.960 --> :14.640
of her tests and exams for her when she
was too hungover to even open her eyes. :14.640 --> :19.440
In our sophomore year of college, she started
to date another guy that I could just tell was
:19.440 --> :26.080
bad news. He was the stereotypical bad boy type,
always wearing leather jackets, used too much gel
:26.080 --> :32.320
in his hair and rode a bike, but he was also a
terrible person. He drank, smoked and partied a
:32.320 --> :39.200
lot. He was also very promiscuous, got into a lot
of fights and made trouble everywhere he went. :39.200 --> :43.760
It wasn't like we didn't attend the occasional
party, but for the most part, my sister and I
:43.760 --> :50.080 were introverts. Or so I thought. Suddenly,
my twin had invites to every party in town.
:50.080 --> :56.080
We attended a college in Los Angeles, California,
so there was always a party to attend. She dressed
:56.080 --> :02.480
up nearly every weeknight and came back either
drunk or high out of her mind. I tried to advise
:02.480 --> :07.520
her against her new lifestyle, but she only threw
it in my face that if I could dye my hair when she
:07.520 --> :12.960
didn't want me to, then she could do whatever
she wanted, whether I approved of it or not. :12.960 --> :16.080
Eventually I figured out that my sister wouldn't listen to me,
:16.080 --> :22.400
so I prepared myself to face her boyfriend. He
was very cunning and good at lying, and I was
:22.400 --> :27.920 so desperate to save my sister from him that
I didn't realize that he was roping me in too. :27.920 --> :32.240
The only downside to having a twin with
similar tastes in nearly everything, :32.240 --> :37.360
was the fact that we liked the same kind of men,
for the most part. I didn't want to fall for my
:37.360 --> :43.360 sister's boyfriend, but I did. And I fell hard.
I tried to stay away from him, but he brought
:43.360 --> :49.360
himself to me all the time, dropping by our dorm
room and pretending to look for my sister, or
:49.360 --> :54.400
even coming into our lecture halls to wait for her
when he knew that she wasn't present in the class. :54.400 --> :00.080
I confided in Z, and she advised me to talk to
my sister about it, which I planned to. But my
:00.080 --> :05.440
sister's boyfriend had other plans. He called
me out one night to confess his feelings to me,
:05.440 --> :11.280 telling me how much he wanted both my sister
and me to be bus girlfriends. I thought he
:11.280 --> :17.120
was delusional so I cussed him out for it and
tried to walk away, but he suddenly grabbed me
:17.120 --> :22.800 and kissed me. He was much stronger than me,
so even as I struggled to push him off of me,
:22.800 --> :27.280 it didn't work. Unfortunately, this
happened right in front of our dorm room
:27.280 --> :30.000
and my sister had just stepped out of the room,
:30.000 --> :35.440 all dressed up for a date with the same asshole.
I would later find out that all of it was a
:35.440 --> :40.240 carefully planned scheme for him to get
my sister even further away from me. :40.240 --> :45.840
When he spotted my twin sister, he pushed me away
from himself and wiped a hand across his mouth,
:45.840 --> :50.640 accusing me of kissing him. I was too
stunned to speak because my sister was there,
:50.640 --> :55.840 and when I tried to explain, she called me
names, and then grabbed his hand and walked away.
:55.840 --> :59.200 After then, I didn't see my
sister for nearly a week, :59.200 --> :02.720
and she refused to pick up my calls or answer my texts.
:02.720 --> :06.240 The only time she came back to the
dorm was to pick up some clothes :06.240 --> :10.880
and to tell Z that she would be staying
temporarily with her boyfriend. I cried to Z,
:10.880 --> :15.360 but I knew that the only thing I could do
was to prove to my sister that her boyfriend
:15.360 --> :20.560 was just like an asshole and he was
using us as his own personal jesters. :20.560 --> :26.000
Towards the middle of junior year, the asshole
began to message me again, asking to see me and
:26.000 --> :32.320
continually flirting. I had the good mind to block
him, but Z advised me not to. Instead, I stored
:32.320 --> :37.280
all of his texts as evidence, so that when my
sister and I were able to see each other and speak
:37.280 --> :43.040
again, I would be able to show her that she was
wrong to believe a man over her own twin sister. :43.040 --> :46.640
The asshole continued to text me and beg to meet up with me,
:46.640 --> :51.920
and when I didn't indulge him, he started to talk
shit about my sister. He would send me messages
:51.920 --> :56.400 about how she was a terrible girlfriend
and that he would leave her for me in a
:56.400 --> :01.280
heartbeat if I would agree to be his girlfriend
again. I'll spare you the rest of the details,
:01.280 --> :06.240 but believe me, it only got worse from there.
With Z’s help, I found other girls that
:06.240 --> :13.520
he was also talking to at the same time and I
compiled all of the evidence into one big file. :13.520 --> :18.640
For the first time in almost a year, my
sister and I went home for Thanksgiving.
:18.640 --> :24.400
She avoided me for a couple of days, but I was
not worried because I knew what I had to do.
:24.400 --> :28.640 I sent the evidence to her email with
a fake email address that I created, :28.640 --> :34.880
and I left her to read it. She was very moody and
quiet all through dinner, so I knew that my plan
:34.880 --> :40.320
had worked. Later that night, while I slept in the
guest room, she came in to speak to me. She asked
:40.320 --> :46.320
if I was the one who sent the email, and after
I came clean to her, she broke down in tears. :46.320 --> :51.200
I couldn't help but cry too when my sister
apologized for choosing a lying and cheating
:51.200 --> :57.440 man over me, and we hugged it out. She also
apologized to me for also being fussy about me
:57.440 --> :02.000 dying my hair. She just didn't want us to
drift apart the way we did in high school. :02.000 --> :06.080
My twin then confided in me that her
ex had started to hit her at a point. :06.080 --> :11.040
He also tried to introduce other illegal
substances to her, since she already drank
:11.040 --> :16.480 alcohol, and that was where she began to be
suspicious, but she didn't know how to leave him. :16.480 --> :20.480
We spent the rest of the night talking and
catching up on almost a year's worth of things
:20.480 --> :25.680 that we missed out on. My sister suggested
revenge to me, and I have to be honest that
:25.680 --> :30.880
I was very scared. What if he found a way to get
back at us for it. She assured me that he had
:30.880 --> :37.600
so many enemies because of how much of an asshole
he was, so I agreed to plan his downfall with her. :37.600 --> :43.440
As I mentioned earlier, my sister is a very
strong willed person and she fortunately was
:43.440 --> :49.440
not scared of a lot of things. She suggested that
we report her now ex boyfriend to the authorities
:49.440 --> :55.440
for possessing drugs and illegal substances. I
thought she was going too far, so on a second
:55.440 --> :59.920
thought, she decided to alert some loan sharks
that he had been running from for a while. :59.920 --> :04.051
Me, her and Z showered up to the door of the
loan shark and she let him know that her ex
:04.051 --> :09.680 boyfriend was an asshole, so she would let
him (the loan shark) in on his whereabouts,
:09.680 --> :14.080 if he promised that he would beat him
up for her. The man gruffly agreed :14.080 --> :18.320
and slammed the door in our faces after
we had given him the details he needed.
:18.320 --> :23.440 We were frightened out of our minds, but
we were very proud of our accomplishments. :23.440 --> :28.240
About two weeks later, we heard that my
sister’s ex had landed in the hospital :28.240 --> :32.320
after being attacked mercilessly.
As if that wasn’t enough trouble, :32.320 --> :37.760
we also found out that he had gotten two
girls and a female Professor pregnant. :37.760 --> :43.280
My sister and I graduated from college with really
good grades, and two years ago, we got married
:43.280 --> :50.400 on the same weekend to two amazing men that
cherished familial relationships over all else. :50.400 --> :57.360
My sister’s asshole ex is a single dad to
three kids, and maybe he’s a changed man now. :39.360 --> :44.000
This is how I got back at my best friend
for sneaking around with my ex-girlfriend
:44.000 --> :49.360
behind my back. Now, this happened just after
my Senior Year in High School a few years ago.
:49.360 --> :54.480
I had just finished my final exams and my aunt
invited my cousin and I to go on a short trip to
:54.480 --> :00.640
Paris with her when my ex-girlfriend sent a text
breaking up with me. I had just had lunch in a
:00.640 --> :06.640
great restaurant with my rich actress Aunt and I
was so bothered that I threw up when we got back
:06.640 --> :11.840
to the hotel. My aunt and cousin tried to cheer me
up but I was really sad and lacked the motivation
:11.840 --> :17.600 to go out and participate in any of the fun
activities. That text ruined the trip for me, what
:17.600 --> :23.280
was supposed to be a fun trip for us three turned
out to be the two ladies consoling and trying to
:23.280 --> :28.160 get me to even step out of my hotel room.
I would say that I didn't see that coming
:28.160 --> :34.480
but I did. She acted strange the whole of our
final semester and I knew something was wrong but
:34.480 --> :40.000
when I did ask her, she said she was just really
bummed about her parents finalizing their divorce.
:40.000 --> :45.280
She had told me, my Mom, and anyone who cared
to listen that she was excited about her parents
:45.280 --> :49.840
divorcing when they announced to her that they
were getting a divorce because they fought too
:49.840 --> :54.720
much and she thinks they are much better apart so
I knew the talk about her parent's divorce was an
:54.720 --> :00.800
excuse. I however tried not to push further or
bother her and instead tried to be there for
:00.800 --> :06.800
her and be a support for her as much as I could,
funnily, this seemed to irritate her even more.
:06.800 --> :12.240
My ex-girlfriend would yell at me and roll her
eyes at me but I ignored her attitude and refused
:12.240 --> :18.000
to be mad about it. One day I decided I'd had
enough, put my foot down, and insisted that I
:18.000 --> :24.560
will not tolerate her disrespectful behavior. She
cried and apologized. She told me she was stressed
:24.560 --> :30.800
out thinking about college, the future, and having
to shuffle between her Mom's house and her Dad's.
:30.800 --> :36.240
The next day, she came over to say goodbye to me
before my aunt, cousin and I left for the airport
:36.240 --> :41.680
and we hugged. I whispered an apology about the
argument we had the night before, she admitted
:41.680 --> :47.360
that I was right to have refused to tolerate her
excesses, apologized again, and kissed me. It
:47.360 --> :54.240
was all so sweet to anyone who was watching but
I was unsettled, something just was not right
:54.240 --> :00.320 and it felt like she was kissing me goodbye.
Yes, she was doing that since I was going to
:00.320 --> :06.080
be away for two weeks but it felt final. I was not
shocked that she broke up with me but breaking up
:06.080 --> :12.640
with me via text and doing it while I was away on
a vacation in Paris was just mean. I was supposed
:12.640 --> :19.280
to be in Paris having a great time and resting
after working so hard to ace my final exams. :19.280 --> :24.400
I refused to accept that it was over and
decided I would talk to her when I return home
:24.400 --> :29.200
and we would figure it out and maybe make up.
I just figured something was wrong somewhere,
:29.200 --> :34.160
there was something she was not telling me and she
would probably just say it when I confronted her
:34.160 --> :38.880 and we would kiss about it and move on.
Well, she didn't even let me talk to her
:38.880 --> :45.200
when I tried to. First, I texted to let her know I
was back but she read and did not reply to my text
:45.200 --> :47.920 so I went to her Mom's house
where they all used to live. :47.920 --> :53.360
"I'm going off to college anyway, it's best to
break up now since we may have to do it later",
:53.360 --> :58.400 she said before I could even say
anything. I was hurt all over. :58.400 --> :02.400
I knew then that she wasn't going
to change her mind so I just said :02.400 --> :07.680
"okay" and left for my best friend's home.
I decided to visit my best friend so we'd
:07.680 --> :13.120 play video games together and I can get my
mind off things. That was not the first time
:13.120 --> :18.720
my ex-girlfriend and I would break up though it
did seem like the last time. We have broken up in
:18.720 --> :23.840
the past and my best friend helped me get out of
my sad spell when we played video games together
:23.840 --> :28.640 with my little brother in his house. He
didn't even know I was back from my trip yet.
:28.640 --> :33.280
When I saw him at the door, he did not appear
to be happy to see me and he looked a bit
:33.280 --> :38.560
nervous. I told him there that my ex-girlfriend
had broken up with me, he didn't look surprised
:38.560 --> :43.840 at all he just nodded and let me in.
"Did she tell you why?" He asked nervously. :43.840 --> :49.360
I told him about everything that had happened
between us, how she had been acting up and blamed
:49.360 --> :54.960
it on her parents' divorce and the night I called
her out on her constantly disrespectful attitude,
:54.960 --> :57.840 and how she kissed me before
I left for the airport. :57.840 --> :02.720
In hindsight, I should have noticed that he
cringed when I mentioned that she kissed me but
:02.720 --> :07.120 of course, I didn't pay that much attention
to his facial expression at the time :07.120 --> :12.720
or the fact that he expressed no surprise about
us breaking up, I was hurt and all I cared about
:12.720 --> :18.240 was expressing my pain to my best friend.
We didn't end up playing video games because
:18.240 --> :23.200 I was heartbroken. I kept wondering
aloud about why she ended things with me,
:23.200 --> :27.760 we have had our issues in the past but we've
always been able to move on from them and it
:27.760 --> :33.440
only strengthened our relationship. Even when we
did break up before, we got back together after
:33.440 --> :39.360
almost three weeks but this time, the way she
ended things was so cruel and I didn't even know
:39.360 --> :45.120 she was capable of being so mean and cold-hearted.
I spent my time in my best friend's home reading
:45.120 --> :50.400 a book I found on the kitchen counter, his
beloved dog, a beautiful golden retriever
:50.400 --> :56.640
sat close to me as I read. My best friend has had
his dog for two years and he loved her to pieces.
:56.640 --> :01.760 She was an answer to his long-time prayer.
He always wanted a dog but his Mom said no
:01.760 --> :06.480
and his Dad just went along with whatever his
Mom said. He kept pressuring his parents to let
:06.480 --> :12.240
him adopt one but his Mom insisted. He had to
prove that he would be responsible with his dog
:12.240 --> :17.360
and do well academically before his Mom finally
said she would consider it. On the day he got
:17.360 --> :22.480
lucky, his Dad brought home his dog and presented
it to him, it was some months after his sixteenth
:22.480 --> :28.640
birthday. My best friend was over the moon with
excitement and he invited me over to look at her.
:28.640 --> :34.240
She was a beautiful little pup and I was excited
for him, he spent most of his time with her
:34.240 --> :39.840
and she enjoys being in his company too. I visit
my best friend often and he visits me with his
:39.840 --> :46.320
dog so she was quite familiar with me too. She
is generally a loveable and charming dog, even
:46.320 --> :51.040
strangers loved her and would try to pet her and
buy her treats when he walked her on the streets.
:51.040 --> :55.280 Anyway, enough about the dog, my best
friend suddenly stopped visiting me. :55.280 --> :01.040
Ever since I returned from Paris, he never came
over and I didn't understand why until I had a
:01.040 --> :06.640 conversation with my little brother one evening.
That evening, I was writing a song in my room when
:06.640 --> :12.160
my brother came in to ask how I was holding up.
To be honest, I was over it and was just looking
:12.160 --> :17.520
forward to leaving for college and visiting my
aunt in LA before that, I had my plate full and
:17.520 --> :23.440
had lots of dreams for myself. I told him this
and he sighed. "Honestly, I would be devastated
:23.440 --> :28.560 if my best friend did that to me man"
Best friend? What? I didn't understand :28.560 --> :33.120
what my brother was talking about so
I just assumed he meant "girlfriend". :33.120 --> :37.840
"Oh it's fine, who knows we would have just
broken up when we both leave for college anyway"
:38.800 --> :44.720 "I understand but to leave you for your best
friend, that must really suck and you're a much
:44.720 --> :48.640 stronger man than I am" Now I was lost.
:48.640 --> :54.000 "Best friend?" I asked my brother in shock.
My brother then told me that my ex and my best
:54.000 --> :00.400 friend started going out while I was away
in Paris. I could not believe my ears. He
:00.400 --> :05.120
thought I knew already, he had almost gotten into
a fistfight with my best friend when he found out
:05.120 --> :09.280 and warned him never to show his face
in our house until he confessed to me. :09.280 --> :15.280
He preferred that my best friend break the news
to me himself. Now it became very clear why my
:15.280 --> :21.200
best friend was avoiding coming over to my house.
Even when I visited him, he hardly said anything
:21.200 --> :26.480
to me about the end of my relationship. He only
just asked if my ex-girlfriend told me why. :26.480 --> :31.600
My brother felt very bad for me and he
apologized for my finding out in that manner.
:31.600 --> :37.200
I was no longer hurt though, I was just really
angry. To think I rushed to him when I returned
:37.200 --> :42.240 to tell him about how hurt I was and he
knew why she ended it but said nothing. :42.240 --> :47.280
I decided to get my pound of flesh but I
was undecided as to how to go about it. :47.280 --> :51.440
The next day, I texted him and told
him I know why he has been avoiding me :51.440 --> :56.240
and asked why he did not tell me earlier
that he and my ex-girlfriend were together. :56.240 --> :00.000
"I'm sorry" he texted back. "I
didn't have the heart to tell you, :00.000 --> :05.200
I knew you'd be pissed, we didn't mean to hurt you
and have been into each other for a while now".
:05.200 --> :11.840 They'd been sneaking around behind my back
even when we were still together. I was pissed.
:11.840 --> :14.960 I told him it was fine and he
thanked me and expressed hope :14.960 --> :19.520
that things won't be awkward between us.
That was funny. Things will certainly be
:19.520 --> :25.120 awkward between us! I was to leave for LA
soon so I carefully hatched my revenge plan.
:25.120 --> :31.760
I decided I was going to take his dog from him.
Yes, he deserves that. We have been best friends
:31.760 --> :36.880
all through High School, I always had his back
and he did that to me? He knew how much I loved
:36.880 --> :42.960
my ex-girlfriend. She meant the world to me and
he knew how terrible I felt when we first broke up
:42.960 --> :48.160
yet he had no problem becoming the reason we break
up again. Not only did he sneak around with her
:48.160 --> :53.280 while she was my girlfriend, they officially
started dating and posting pictures on MySpace
:53.280 --> :57.440 just after we spoke about it. It was like
they were waiting for me to find out so they
:57.440 --> :03.520
can finally show themselves to the world. I also
could not help but wonder how many people knew,
:03.520 --> :08.960 I mean my brother found out before me. Other
people in school and in our neighborhood probably
:08.960 --> :14.400 knew too, my best friend made a fool out of
me and I was desperate to get back at him. :14.400 --> :19.760
The first thing I did was convince my aunt to
pay extra for my flight tickets. Since I was
:19.760 --> :24.720 going to be traveling with a dog, I needed
the money. I told her I'd adopted a dog and
:24.720 --> :28.880 added that it was because I was starting
to feel lonely after the breakup so she
:28.880 --> :34.720 would not ask any more questions. She agreed.
The day before my flight's date, I texted my
:34.720 --> :40.480
best friend about visiting him that evening and
he seemed elated about it. "I need to beat you one
:40.480 --> :45.840
last time," I wrote in my text referring to the
karate video game we play together. He asked if
:45.840 --> :51.360
I was coming with my brother, I said I was not but
I had planned with my brother to pick me up later.
:51.360 --> :56.560 Things were indeed awkward between us until
we started to play and things eased up,
:56.560 --> :02.160 I even started to feel bad about what I was
going to do but I was not going to back down.
:02.720 --> :09.040
Never! His dog was being all cute and funny as
usual and I suddenly could not wait for her to
:09.040 --> :14.720
be mine. My best friend was in the kitchen when
my brother texted to inform me that he was around,
:14.720 --> :21.600
I asked him to come over to the window and passed
him the dog, luckily she did not resist. I went
:21.600 --> :26.720
into the kitchen and told him I had to leave and
that my brother was around, he was reluctant to
:26.720 --> :32.880
come out with me because he and my brother were
not on good terms and I took good advantage of
:32.880 --> :39.040 this and dashed out. While we drove away, I
saw my ex-girlfriend driving to his house,
:39.040 --> :44.320 I was glad because this meant my best friend
would be distracted and may not notice his dog
:44.320 --> :49.120 was gone for a while. She started to bark
but we were no longer close to his house. :49.680 --> :55.200
"Really? His dog? That is petty!" my
brother exclaimed. I waved him off :55.200 --> :00.480
and said nothing. Nobody could decide for me
how to react to what my best friend had done.
:00.480 --> :05.680
Before we got into the house, I made my brother
promise not to tell our Mom what we had done.
:05.680 --> :10.320
The next morning, I was to leave for my flight, I
had switched off my phone so my best friend would
:10.320 --> :16.160 be unable to reach me should he suspect that
I left with his dog but when I turned it on,
:16.160 --> :20.720 I saw that I had no messages from him, he
had most likely not even noticed that his dog
:20.720 --> :26.800
was not in the house. Perhaps my ex-girlfriend
slept over and he was too distracted, the thought
:26.800 --> :34.400
pissed me off even more and my mind was made up.
My best friend's dog was going with me to LA.
:34.400 --> :38.400 My Mom saw the dog and frowned "Isn't
that your friend's dog?" she quizzed :39.200 --> :43.360
"Well he gave her to me" "He gave you his dog?"
:43.360 --> :48.000 "Yes," my brother and I chorused.
I do not understand boys," she :48.000 --> :50.880
said and started the car. I had just landed at the
:50.880 --> :55.840
airport in LA when my brother called to say my
best friend came over to our house to see me.
:55.840 --> :01.040 He asked my brother if he had seen the dog,
and of course, my brother curtly told him no.
:01.040 --> :05.680 He texted me but I never even bothered
to read his texts before deleting them. :05.680 --> :11.600
The next day he and my ex-girlfriend were sharing
printed copies of the dog asking everyone in the
:11.600 --> :17.120
neighborhood if they had seen her. I knew he'd
be hurt, he loved his dog and she loved him too
:17.120 --> :22.400 but that was exactly the reaction I wanted.
To save him the trouble of searching, I sent a
:22.400 --> :27.216
picture of the dog in my aunt's apartment to him.
I had a hard time with her at first since she was
:27.216 --> :32.080
not used to the environment but she eventually
warmed up to me and became my new best friend.
:32.080 --> :38.640 He cursed at me but I did not care, I had
gotten my revenge and it was a sweet feeling! | give me a good story on rNuclearRevengeISTOLEMYBESTFRIENDSDOGRedditStories |

ex showed up at my door 7 years later with a kid demanding child support then
my wife came out and everything went downhill fast hello Reddit this is going
to be kind of long because there's a lot of context so first and foremost I'll
tell you guys a little about my ex-girlfriend my ex Cindy 30f Now 23
when we were together and I were together for 4 years we met in college
and stayed together throughout we even got an apartment together once we
graduated and lived together for a year before she broke things off with me
abruptly and without an explanation Cindy was one year older than me and a
senior in college so I was too shy to go
talk to her and she's the one who had to initiate the relationship she asked me
out she said I love you first after 6 months of being together and she is the
one who suggested that we move in together after college she was a
wonderful girlfriend for those who can't tell this is sarcasm in every way but
one she was just very insecure I don't know what it was maybe it was because I
never really took initiative in the relationship or something similar but
she was just always very insecure and jealous and she'd hate it when I'd speak
to other girls no matter who who they were so after a couple of fights I cut
off all my friends who happen to be women because Cindy was more important
to me than being friends with other women and it wasn't just friends from
college who I stopped talking to but I also stopped speaking to my school
friends who'd been friends with me for more than 5 years at that point I'm back
to talking to them because Cindy's not in my life anymore and my wife's cool
with my friends regardless of gender but
back then I was just friends with my guy friends and I wasn't even allowed to go
out with them to have a boy's night because Cindy believed that it would
just be an excuse for us to all go to bars get wasted and pick up girls I
didn't think it was fair to me because she'd forbid me from seeing anyone
without her because of how insecure she was but I couldn't see how wrong at all
was because I was too in love with her and I felt like she was too she'd tell
me all the time about how much she loved me and said that she couldn't live
without me she couldn't imagine a future without me and whatnot so I stayed
despite everything because I wanted to marry her and be with her that's all I
wanted but with time it became more and more difficult to stay with her since
she just kept getting more suspicious and weird about me by the time we were
living together I couldn't do anything without her breathing down my neck she'd
check my phone all the time she'd monitor my movements and if I didn't
update her on my location at all times then she'd threaten to lock me out when
I came back home so by now you guys have some idea about how toxic our
relationship had turned by the time we broke up I still somehow found it in me
to stay with her but then surprisingly she's the one who broke up with me and
it was over something insane because it was just a small misunderstanding that
led to our breakup one day my sister visited me without announcing her visit
which she usually did to make sure Cindy
didn't suspect me and think that maybe I
was having other girls over Cindy wasn't at home when my sister Lauren 33f
dropped by she was at a friend's place because she was allowed to meet her
friends and I wasn't allowed to suspect her anyhow Lauren surprised me by
dropping an unannounced and I was so surprised to see her that I didn't even
text Cindy to tell her that Lauren had come over which I would have usually
done we got to talking and we spent around 2 hours together at home but then
all of a sudden she received a call from her boss and had to leave to go back to
work urgently the thing that caused my breakup was unfortunately the lipstick
that Lauren had behind when she'd taken it out to reapply it before she headed
back to work she was in a rush to leave so she forgot it on the couch and it was
so small that I didn't notice it either then Cindy came back home a little after
Lauren left and she seemed happy until she found the little lipstick I still
remember it as clear as day she sat on the couch and sprang back up as soon as
she sat then grabbed the lipstick that she'd sat down on and I instantly knew
that I was screwed because there was just no way in hell that she was going
to let this one slide I tried to downplay it and told her the truth
instantly I told her that Lauren had come over to visit during her lunch
hours and she'd taken out the lipstick to reapply it because she had to go back
to work I explained that she was rushing to go back home so she'd forgotten to
put it back in her purse but just as I'd
expected Cindy didn't buy even a word of what I told her for a couple of reasons
like I said she brought up that Lauren usually texts Cindy and me both in the
text group that has the three of us before she comes over she hadn't done
that this time and secondly she thought that it was very unlikely that Lauren
would take out her lipstick to reapply in our house because my sister wasn't
really one for makeup she was convinced that I'd had another girl over in AB
absolutely flipped out and when I say flipped out I don't mean it lightly she
really went psychotic and started screaming at me cursing at me and
randomly started throwing things to the floor first she went for the cushions
then she threw some books to the floor while raging at me but then it crossed a
line when she grabbed the TV remote and threw it right at me I ducked and
managed to avoid it but I knew that I needed to get the hell out of there so I
ran to our bedroom and locked myself in I didn't have my phone with me so I
couldn't call anyone for help and I just had to stay there by myself for like an
hour while she went on and on about how I had betrayed her she was screaming
like a banshee outside the room and I'll say that I was pretty scared then
finally the screaming sort of calmed down and I finally gathered the courage
to leave the room and check outside I noticed that she was gone and had left
the door wide open I didn't try to talk to her or contact her in any way for the
next couple of hours because I figured that she had just gone on a walk to
clear her head or something but then when she didn't even come home by
midnight I started to get a little worried and decided that I was going to
try and call her to my surprise I noticed that the call didn't go through
and after the first couple of tries I realized that she had blocked me I tried
to text her but with no luck because I was blocked there as well and she had
also removed me from all her social media accounts I was paranoid and tried
to call her friends but they didn't answer my calls either and I guessed
they had blocked me too for the next few weeks I just kept trying to contact her
in any way I could but she just did not answer after almost a month of trying to
track her down I gave up because I realized that she did not want to be
found not by me at least I was completely lost without her and the next
few months were really the toughest of my life I don't know how I got through
it all I would do was just go to work come back miss her and pretend that
things were fine people tried to convince me that I was better off
without her but I just didn't feel it I moved out of that apartment after a year
I tried to stay there because I thought that if Cindy ever came back she would
be able to find me if I remained in that apartment but after I moved out and had
a new address I gave up any hope of reconciling with Cindy we never got any
closure and that was my biggest disappointment so far I was pretty
depressed and tried not to talk to women after my breakup because I didn't want
to feel like I was betraying Cindy that changed when I met my current wife Amy
27f she was a colleague at work and she was really sweet to me when I was new
and not just me but she was sweet to every single person in the office she
was beautiful intelligent and had a brilliant personality so despite my best
efforts I couldn't help but fall for her within a few months I had promised
myself that I would never put myself through another relationship again after
Cindy but that all changed when I met Amy we have been together for almost 4
years and have been married for two now I'm at my happiest with her and I had
honestly totally forgotten about Cindy until recently when she made a sudden
reappearance in my life 7 years have passed since our breakup or rather he
was just walking out on me like I meant nothing to her just over a petty
misunder understanding last weekend my wife and I were just chilling at home
when she suddenly rang our doorbell and I was the one to open the door before I
could even register what I was seeing in front of me she dragged a little boy
around seven right in front of me and demanded that I pay 7even years of child
support immediately she completely tore into me before I even had a chance to
speak and started yelling at me about how she had spent the last seven years
of her life trying to track me down so our son could finally have a father I
just stood there silently while she yelled at me accused me of being an
absent father and demanded that I pay child support to her and cough up the
amount that I had managed to avoid for the last 7 years I had no idea how to
respond to any of that and just stood there like an idiot while she continued
to scream at me obviously it was not my fault I had even waited for her to come
back for one year after she had left abruptly she was the one who had
abandoned me in our relationship and I was 100% sure that it was not even my
son whom she brought along with her the reason I was not saying anything was
because I was literally too shocked to say a word noticing that I had been gone
for a couple of minutes Amy decided to come out and check what was going on and
that's when the situation turned around because as soon as she saw my wife
Cindy's face lost all color and it appeared that she knew she was screwed
now at the time I was not aware of what was happening but all I knew was that
Cindy was not okay when she saw my wife and even Amy seemed really really
surprised to see Cindy there before I could say anything Amy and Cindy started
arguing and I couldn't make out what they were yelling at each other about
but I knew the things were bad and they already knew knew each other from before
they were at each other's throats verbally attacking each other calling
each other every derogatory name in the book and I stood there like a silent
spectator along with the other little boy trying to figure out what was going
on then finally Amy brought out the big guns and said that if Cindy didn't leave
then she was going to call the cops and that would not be good for her Cindy did
not look happy about it but ultimately she left after shooting us both dirty
looks and cursing us out some more when she heard that Amy threatened to call
the cops again and I am not even kidding Cindy literally made a run for it she
grabbed her son as soon as Amy mentioned
the cops and got out of there as quickly as she could I had no idea what just
happened but I figured that Amy would tell me everything after Cindy left now
this is where things took a really weird turn because as soon as Cindy left Amy
turned towards me and started screaming at me saying things like how could you
do this to me and I can't believe you hid this from me I still didn't say
anything and just stood there looking at
her really confused because that's how I felt I was really confused and the
things she was accusing me of also did not make any sense to me she was acting
as if I had hidden my relationship with Cindy from her on purpose or something
something but I had not done that I'd always been very open with Amy and told
her everything about my ex so I did not understand why she was reacting the way
that she was the only thing that I hadn't done was show her a picture of
Cindy ever but that wasn't on purpose it was mostly because I had lost my phone
before I moved into my new house and it had all my pictures with Cindy on it so
when I lost that I lost a lot of pictures that I had with her I had also
deleted most of my pictures with her off my social media because it was a very
painful reminder of what our relationship used to be and how she had
just disappeared without an explanation so to sum it up I deleted my pictures
with her on my social media and then I lost my phone so I lost all the pictures
that I had with her because I hadn't backed them up anywhere else either I
never tried to get them back because I just thought that it was a good thing
that I didn't have any pictures with her anymore since it just meant that one
less thing that would remind me of her sure we had a couple of group photos
that were still up on my friend's social media accounts but I made them take it
all down because I didn't want to see myself with her anymore I would have
shown those pictures to Amy had she ever asked for it but she didn't and it just
seemed like too much work to go digging for group photos or photos of me and
Cindy to show to Amy when she didn't even seem interested in seeing the woman
so I never got around to showing Amy how Cindy looked after that incident Amy
said that she wanted to leave and go live with her parents for a while so
that she could cool down and clear her head before she came back in spite of me
begging her to stay she still left because she said that she just did not
want to be in the same room as me for a while and really needed her own space to
deal with this I didn't even know what this was because she did not give me any
explanation and it just felt like a repeat of whatever had taken place to me
and Cindy I was devastated for that entire day and it wasn't until the next
day that I finally made some calls to try and figure out what exactly was
going on I called her parents first but they told me that I should have told
them about Cindy before instead of just springing it on her like this they fried
me for a while and then disconnected the call without giving me any explanation
so then I called Amy's older sister my sister-in-law who was the only other
person likely to have an explanation I was completely lost and she was my last
hope so when she answered my call I wasted no time in explaining what had
happened and that's when she told me the real story of how Amy and Cindy knew
each other so apparently Cindy and Amy were cousins Cindy's real name was
Cynthia they're not her real names I'm just using similar examples which was
something I had never used to refer to her which is why Amy had never made the
connection apparently Cindy had always been a big bully who had pretty much
ruined Amy's childhood things had been bad between them for a while but it all
came to a head on Amy's 18th birthday Cindy hooked up with Amy's longtime
boyfriend of almost 3 years my in-laws were pissed and Amy's mother Cindy's
mother's sister got into a huge fight over Cindy's Behavior obviously both
parents took their own kids side and so their fam stopped stopped speaking to
each other they were completely cut off from one another but the bullying did
not end there because Cindy decided that she was going to take revenge on her
cousin by spreading nasty rumors about her online it got to a point where their
parents had to get involved all over again and this time Cindy finally
decided that she was going to leave Amy alone but only because her parents had
told her to cut it out that was the last
time the two cousins spoke to each other and finally they met about a couple of
days ago because of me after the phone call with my sister-in-law I finally
figured out why Amy had been so mad when
she saw Cindy at our door apparently the meeting with Cindy or Cynthia as Amy
knew her had brought up painful memories
for both of us I spoke to her after that phone call and I guess my sister-in-law
must have talked to her because she finally talked to me instead of just
letting the phone ring I told her that I
understood where she was coming from but it wasn't exactly my fault that we
hadn't been able to find out about this common link between us mostly because
she'd never asked or shown an interest in Cindy and rightfully so since it was
all in the past anyway and she was the future for me had she asked me about
Cindy even once then I would have instantly shown her a picture and we
wouldn't have had to wait for so long to find find out about this connection
between us I try to explain my side of the story to her rationally but for some
reason she still thinks that I the bad guy here and that I should have more
about my past relationship so she would have asked me about it as well and then
we would have been able to uncover this sooner I just couldn't see how any of
this was my fault and I told her so as well so she got really mad at me and
stopped speaking to me after telling me that I was being stupid and
self-involved she then told me that she had a horrible history with Cindy and
she expected me to understand and respect that to which I replied that I
had a horrible past with her as well but I didn't see Amy trying to be
understanding of that I guess that really offended her because she told me
that I won the Olympics for having the worst past ever and then she hung up
since then she has not been responding to any of my calls or texts and I feel
like I really screwed up here my wife usually never loses her cool like this
so this was definitely a very touchy and sensitive subject for her but I feel
like she needs to realize that this is a sensitive thing for me as well so it's
not really fair to put the entire blame on me when I don't even understand what
my fault here was exactly I am just glad that I haven't heard from Cindy yet
because I'm sure that if she continues to try and get involved in in my life
then this mess will only get bigger anyway Ida for not telling my wife
enough about my toxic ex-girlfriend update one hi guys so first of all thank
you for all the comments that advised me on what to do here I am really thankful
for everyone who had something to say and for those of you who wanted to know
if my wife had ever mentioned anything about the bullying before no she had not
she had never told me that she had been bullied relentlessly in the past and I
only found out about that part of her after the phone call with my
sister-in-law it wasn't my fault I know but I still took the initiative and
decided Ed to go see my wife at her parents place I wanted to make this
relationship work and I knew that if I wanted to be with her then I would have
to go and set things right even if it wasn't my fault because it was us versus
the problem and not her versus me yesterday I finally visited her after
almost a week of not speaking to each other both my inlaws and Amy were pretty
surprised to see me there but I didn't wait for them to say anything and as
soon as the door had been open I went straight to Amy and gave her a big bare
hug she was taken a back but she hugged me back and we just hugged for a few
minutes before we even said anything this last week had been tough for both
of us and we knew we just wanted to be together who was right and who was wrong
didn't even matter anymore as soon as I broke away from the hug she apologized
to me and started crying immediately because apparently she had thought that
she had lost me forever due to the Meltdown that she had after Cindy's
visit that day and also because of the way she had been behaving after she left
the house she acknowledged that she had been totally unreasonable and irrational
in dealing with the situation and just kept apologizing constantly her parents
and I consoled her and calmed her down as she sobbed profusely I was happy to
see that she had realized that the way she had been acting was a little unfair
to me but at the same time I also felt guilty for not reaching out to her
earlier since that is what really caused
her to break down when I finally visited her yesterday after a while once we
talked things out she packed up her stuff to come back home with me and here
we are back home together I wouldn't say
that things have gone back to normal but we're working on it and trying to make
sense of everything that has happened in the last week including Cindy's visit
which we still haven't been able to get to the bottom of but we'll find out what
that was all about as well update to hey guys so we finally found out what Cindy
was here for no prizes for guessing that
it was for money which she had made very clear to us as soon as she arrived by
demanding that I pay child support for a kid that barely seemed or felt like my
own Amy and my sister-in-law made several phone calls to get to the bottom
of what was happening with her since their families were not on speaking
terms and hadn't been for several years and they found out that the kid was not
mine obviously but she had been dating some guy for a couple of years in fact I
think she had even been two timing me for the last couple of months of our
relationship I don't have any proof for it but it would sure make sense because
she broke up with me over something something really pretty and then just
cut me out of her life randomly like I was nothing to her so it would add up if
she had already another guy lined up to take my place after she broke up with me
she was probably already pregnant by the time she left me and she just needed a
way out the incident with my sister was the most convenient way for her to leave
most people in her family were aware of her relationship with the other guy but
I was forbidden from speaking to her family unless she was with me so I never
found out about it and never would have had she not made the terrible decision
of showing up to my doorstep just to intimidate me into giving her money as
it turns out the other guy dumped her a couple of months ago and since she had
quit working after she had met the other guy and had her baby she didn't really
have any savings of her own and was running short on money he'd done the
same thing to her that she had done to me just disappeared without any
explanation and now she was struggling to make 's meet her parents had refused
to help her because they wanted to save enough to retire and they wouldn't be
able to do so if they started supporting
her and her kid all of a sudden which is just crazy selfish but it explains why
she was so desperate none of her family has heard from her after she ran into
Amy at my house but I'm sure that somebody will find her and either try to
help her or just report her to to the cops because from what I'm hearing she
has already been scammed a few people out of cash now these are all just
rumors but they might as well be true because after what she tried to pull
with me I wouldn't really put it past her update three so it's a late update
but Amy and I have decided to join couples counseling as well as individual
therapy because I think we are really dealing with her past as well as we
thought we were just one appearance from Cindy had sent our lives crashing and
burning we couldn't let that happen again so that's why we made the decision
that we made as for Cindy we heard from a couple of relatives that she was now
living with another guy whom she had met online just a few days ago but he was
already smitten with her and had offered to let her move in her parents were
inconsolable because of how she had been acting and even more so as she had told
them that they were not allowed to meet their grandson anymore not to take her
side but honestly what were her parents even expecting they had turned her away
when she needed them and now they expected her to just be fine with it
that's just ridiculous they had always enabled her behavior be it with me or
with Amy her parents weren't Pleasant people and clearly neither was she the
Apple doesn't fall too far from the tree and she's living proof of it Amy and I
just feel bad that the poor kid has to suffer the consequences of her bad
decisions | give me a good story on ExShowedUpatMyDoorYearsLaterWithaKidDemandingChildSupportThen |

:00.120 --> :01.120 In today’s video, I would like to introduce
you to a suspenseful movie called "Escape :01.120 --> :02.120
from Alcatraz" that was produced in 1979. :02.120 --> :03.120
The movie is inspired by a real-life incident. :03.120 --> :04.120
If you plan to watch it, beware of spoilers. :04.120 --> :05.120
The storyline revolves around Frank Morris,
a highly intelligent criminal who had previously :05.120 --> :09.980
escaped from several prisons, and his incarceration
at the high-security Alcatraz Island Prison :09.980 --> :11.330
in 1960. :11.330 --> :15.349 As Frank tucks into his inaugural morning
meal at the diner, he befriends a peculiar :15.349 --> :17.130
chap by the name of Litmus. :17.130 --> :21.660
This oddball has a knack for requesting extra
portions from fellow diners and toting around :21.660 --> :23.440
a clandestine pet mouse. :23.440 --> :27.700
However, Frank can't shake the feeling of
being watched by a burly bloke dubbed Wolf, :27.700 --> :31.920
who seems to be sending some not-so-subtle intimidation vibes his way.
:31.920 --> :36.230 Subsequently, Frank is escorted to meet the
warden, who lays out the regulations Frank :36.230 --> :40.570
must abide by and requests the names of any
individuals he wishes to grant visitation :40.570 --> :42.110
privileges to. :42.110 --> :46.800
Unfortunately, Frank has nobody in his corner,
not a single soul to call family or friend. :46.800 --> :51.340
The warden spills the that the penitentiary
is unlike any other, as it lacks rehabilitation :51.340 --> :55.230
initiatives and prohibits the dissemination of current events.
:55.230 --> :59.500 Prisoners' access to information about the
world outside is solely reliant on the guards' :59.500 --> :00.500
discretion. :00.500 --> :04.760
Additionally, inmates are all housed in solitary
confinement, and anyone wishing to visit them :04.760 --> :07.200
must first undergo FBI scrutiny. :07.200 --> :10.939
Although they do have the option to work, this privilege must be earned.
:10.939 --> :15.710 and finally grants him one warning before
releasing him back into the clutches of Alcatraz: :15.710 --> :20.530
nobody has ever successfully pulled off a
prison break from this joint, and no one ever :20.530 --> :21.530
will. :21.530 --> :24.900
Turns out, Frank's rendezvous with the warden wasn't entirely for naught.
:24.900 --> :30.060 As the warden's gaze was momentarily averted,
Frank deftly lifted a pair of nail clippers, :30.060 --> :32.650
later squirreling them away inside his Bible. :32.650 --> :37.130
Fast forward to Frank's initial shower session,
where he encounters the intimidating Wolf, :37.130 --> :39.299
who declares Frank his new plaything. :39.299 --> :43.780
Despite Frank's protests, Wolf persisted,
and so Frank decided to take matters into :43.780 --> :48.810
his own hands, delivering some punches and
forcing a bar of soap into the brute's mouth. :48.810 --> :53.130
Sometime later, Frank is dispatched to lend
a hand at the prison library, where he crosses :53.130 --> :56.770
paths with English, a fellow inmate serving dual life sentences.
:56.770 --> :01.729 A decade prior, English acted in self-defense
when he took the lives of two men, yet their :01.729 --> :06.979
Caucasian status deemed their fabricated version
of events more believable than English's truth. :06.979 --> :11.000
With prisoners forbidden from entering the
library, Frank's current mission is to make :11.000 --> :15.020
the rounds, distributing reading materials to those keen on partaking.
:15.020 --> :19.330 During his yard interlude, Frank has an encounter
with Doc, a silver-haired inmate who whiles :19.330 --> :21.950
away the hours with a paintbrush in hand. :21.950 --> :26.379
Doc's artwork is nothing short of impressive,
with subjects ranging from himself to the :26.379 --> :29.510
warden, each portrait featuring a chrysanthemum blossom.
:29.510 --> :34.940 Doc also expresses concern for Frank's wellbeing,
given that he's now landed on Wolf's bad side. :34.940 --> :39.230
Later, Frank engages in a chat with English,
who shares with him all the intel he's gathered :39.230 --> :42.360
on the penitentiary's anti-escape protocols. :42.360 --> :46.200
According to English's intelligence, even
if an inmate managed to navigate their way :46.200 --> :50.640
out of their cell, a feat in itself, they'd
face the treacherous obstacle of armed guards :50.640 --> :54.170
perched in the watchtowers, ready to shoot at any sign of escape.
:54.170 --> :58.640 And even if someone somehow managed to evade
the sharpshooters and flee the premises, there's :58.640 --> :03.700
still the daunting matter of Alcatraz's locale:
situated on an island, with a mile-long swim :03.700 --> :07.840
to reach solid ground, and water temperatures
that would make a polar bear shiver. :07.840 --> :12.120
A few days later, while shooting the breeze
with Litmus in the yard, he casually drops :12.120 --> :17.030
the tidbit that their cellblock has ventilation
shafts up top, the only hurdle being figuring :17.030 --> :18.370
out a means of ascent. :18.370 --> :22.750
However, the day takes a perilous turn when
Wolf sets his sights on Frank, brandishing :22.750 --> :24.010
a deadly blade. :24.010 --> :28.200
Luckily, Doc is quick on the draw, alerting
Frank to the impending danger and allowing :28.200 --> :30.819
him to avoid the attack just in the nick of time. :30.819 --> :35.080
A full-blown brawl ensues between the two,
prompting the guards to intervene and cart :35.080 --> :38.290
both Wolf and Frank off to solitary confinement. :38.290 --> :42.959
Unfortunately, the warden couldn't care less
if Frank acted out of self-defense; a scuffle :42.959 --> :46.330
is a scuffle, and the punishment is solitary confinement.
:46.330 --> :50.459 The only company Frank receives comes in the
form of a guard who, under the guise of odor :50.459 --> :53.590
control, drenches him with frigid water from a hose.
:53.590 --> :57.930 After a brief stint in solitary confinement,
Frank is eventually released back into the :57.930 --> :02.640
general population, while Wolf is left to
rot in the hole for a more extended period :02.640 --> :05.409
for instigating the brawl and wielding a weapon. :05.409 --> :09.810
Later that evening, Frank receives a heartwarming
visit from his furry friend Litmus Mouse, :09.810 --> :13.790
who presents him with a tiny message of support reading, "Welcome Back."
:13.790 --> :18.199 As time passes, Frank strikes up a friendship
with his new neighbor, Charlie Butts, who's :18.199 --> :20.199
assigned to the cell adjacent to his. :20.199 --> :24.700
The two become close pals, and Frank even
introduces Charlie to his other buddies during :24.700 --> :27.000
one of their regular yard hangouts. :27.000 --> :31.600
One day, during the usual yard activity, the
warden decides to inspect the cells and stumbles :31.600 --> :33.910
upon Doc's beautiful painting of him. :33.910 --> :38.410
Despite the striking resemblance and flattering
portrayal, the cruel warden decides to strip :38.410 --> :42.720
Doc of his painting privileges as a punishment for...well, who knows what.
:42.720 --> :47.350 When a guard confiscates Doc's paint and canvases,
the distraught artist is left in a state of :47.350 --> :52.100
deep distress, as painting was his only source
of solace in the bleak and monotonous confines :52.100 --> :53.479
of Alcatraz. :53.479 --> :58.510
Frank manages to secure a job in the carpentry
team and while working one afternoon, he notices :58.510 --> :01.100
that Doc seems to be in a very bad state. :01.100 --> :05.220
Concerned, Frank tries to alert the guard but his concerns are dismissed.
:05.220 --> :09.169 Unfortunately, Doc's depression gets the best
of him and he asks for a hatchet, which he :09.169 --> :11.370
uses to sever his own fingers. :11.370 --> :15.919
Deeply saddened by Doc's tragic action, Frank
finds a chrysanthemum flower that Doc had :15.919 --> :20.370
left in his pocket and decides to gather the
severed fingers and put them in a box. :20.370 --> :24.460
He then sarcastically hands the box to the
guard, telling him to make sure to include :24.460 --> :25.800
it in his report. :25.800 --> :30.139
During dinner, the warden confronts Frank
about the incident, and Frank seizes the opportunity
:30.139 --> :34.229 to indirectly insult him by wondering how
anyone could take offense from a portrait :34.229 --> :35.620
that flatters them. :35.620 --> :39.600
Frank's mealtime got a boost when he found
out that the infamous Anglin brothers, John :39.600 --> :42.450
and Clarence, were also guests of Alcatraz. :42.450 --> :46.560
Frank has previous experience with the brothers
from his time in prison, and they all share :46.560 --> :51.660
a talent for escaping, which probably explains
why they ended up in the world's most secure :51.660 --> :52.660
prison. :52.660 --> :56.520
As Frank was feeling bored and contemplating
his next great escape plan, he observed a :56.520 --> :00.220
clever roach fleeing through the grill on
the wall, which seemed to be held in place :00.220 --> :01.810
by flimsy concrete. :01.810 --> :06.100
In a stroke of inspiration, Frank discovers
that the weak concrete surrounding the grill :06.100 --> :08.900
in his cell might be his ticket out of Alcatraz. :08.900 --> :13.080
Armed with a stolen nail clipper, he begins chipping away, slowly but surely.
:13.080 --> :17.330 If he can keep up the effort, he might just
make a hole large enough to squeeze through. :17.330 --> :21.510
Meanwhile, on visitor's day, two of Frank's
friends receive some much-needed news from :21.510 --> :22.789
the outside world. :22.789 --> :25.759
English's daughter informs him of her upcoming wedding.
:25.759 --> :30.069
Charlie, on the other hand, receives heart-wrenching
news from his wife that his mother's health :30.069 --> :33.889
is deteriorating, and she has only a few months left to live.
:33.889 --> :37.870 Desperate to see his mother before it's too
late, Charlie confides in Frank about his :37.870 --> :41.610
desire to escape and begs him to include him in his plans.
:41.610 --> :45.199 Frank shares his discovery with Charlie and
the Anglins during dinner. :45.199 --> :49.220
He tells them that the moist sea air has weakened
the concrete and metal of the grill, and it's :49.220 --> :51.880
just a matter of time before they can dig a hole. :51.880 --> :55.740
This could lead them to the utility corridor, which may be a path to the roof.
:55.740 --> :00.040 To keep the hole hidden, they plan to tear
out ads from magazines and use cardboard to :00.040 --> :01.430
create a fake wall. :01.430 --> :05.380
They can also cover the hole with objects like towels to keep it disguised.
:05.380 --> :09.030 They will make fake heads out of the cardboard
and hair from the barbershop to put on their :09.030 --> :12.819
pillows to trick the guards into thinking
they're sleeping while they are making their :12.819 --> :13.819
escape. :13.819 --> :16.669
They can escape at night and won't be noticed until morning count.
:16.669 --> :21.419 The Anglin siblings are the masterminds behind
this new project, the barbershop and clothing :21.419 --> :23.289
shop being their day jobs. :23.289 --> :27.350
With their combined expertise, one of them
will be able to obtain hair for the dummy, :27.350 --> :31.199
while the other will be able to steal some
raincoats and contact cement to construct :31.199 --> :32.280
life rafts. :32.280 --> :36.879
The plan is to use these rafts to cross the
bay to safety, but of course, the odds of :36.879 --> :37.879
success are low. :37.879 --> :40.319
Nevertheless, everyone agrees to lend a hand. :40.319 --> :44.599
As Frank tirelessly chips away at the weak
concrete around the grill, Charlie diligently :44.599 --> :47.210
keeps an eye out for patrolling guards. :47.210 --> :51.419
Unfortunately, using the nail clipper proves
to be a challenge as it doesn't offer a proper :51.419 --> :52.419
grip. :52.419 --> :56.340 The next day during the meal break, Frank
came up with a plan to get an extra spoon. :56.340 --> :00.280
He deliberately dirties his current spoon with his shoe and asks for a new one.
:00.280 --> :04.590 With the help of one of the Anglin brothers
who distracts the guard with conversation, :04.590 --> :08.620
Frank slyly takes two spoons instead of one and sneaks one back to his cell.
:08.620 --> :13.741 To further his escape plan, Frank asks English,
who visits to drop off some magazines, if :13.741 --> :16.690
it's possible to weld metal together in the cell. :16.690 --> :18.540
English agrees to teach him how. :18.540 --> :22.669
After a considerable amount of time, Litmus
comes to Frank's aid by trading him a dime :22.669 --> :24.280
for 15 desserts. :24.280 --> :28.620
With this valuable coin, Frank utilizes his
welding skills to create a unique tool to :28.620 --> :29.900
aid in his escape. :29.900 --> :34.380
By disassembling a spoon to acquire its grip
and using the clipper for the digging, Frank :34.380 --> :38.890
uses a handful of matches to melt the dime and fuse together the two utensils.
:38.890 --> :43.209 With his newly crafted tool, Frank digs much
faster than before and is able to get back :43.209 --> :47.100
to his bed in time whenever Charlie warns him of approaching guards.
:47.100 --> :51.690 Eventually, after several days of digging,
he successfully removes all the concrete around :51.690 --> :52.690
the grill. :52.690 --> :56.810
However, the grill itself is firmly attached
to the wall and proves impossible to remove :56.810 --> :57.910
by hand. :57.910 --> :01.790
Frank devises a plan to get a wedge into the prison to help him with his escape.
:01.790 --> :05.590 He makes the wedge during his time at the
carpentry shop, but the challenge is getting :05.590 --> :07.990
it through the metal detector undetected. :07.990 --> :12.209
Frank has an idea: he intentionally sets off
the detector by holding the wedge out in the :12.209 --> :15.200
open and telling the guard he made it to hang his clothes.
:15.200 --> :19.400 The guard doesn't buy it and confiscates the
wedge, without bothering to check Frank's :19.400 --> :20.400 pockets.
:20.400 --> :21.510 Since he has nothing in his pockets, he's
allowed to leave, and Frank returns to his :21.510 --> :23.150
cell with a feeling of success. :23.150 --> :26.899
He has a second wedge hidden in his shoe,
which he can use to finally get the grill :26.899 --> :27.959
off the wall. :27.959 --> :31.000
This is the sign he needs to get the plan rolling properly.
:31.000 --> :35.040 Over the next few months, Charlie and the
Anglin brothers start digging as well. :35.040 --> :40.269
They also begin working on creating cardboard
dummy heads using magazine pages, water, and :40.269 --> :42.290
concrete dust from their digging. :42.290 --> :46.110
Charlie even goes to order a painting set
under the guise of taking up a new hobby, :46.110 --> :50.209
but the paint will actually be used to color
the dummy heads and create cardboard covers :50.209 --> :52.220
that mimic the appearance of the grill. :52.220 --> :56.970
Once Frank finishes preparing his dummy with
hair acquired from the barbershop by the Anglins, :56.970 --> :01.070
he places it in his bed and enters the hole to explore what's on the other side.
:01.070 --> :05.540 He discovers a set of stairs leading to a
utility corridor, but he soon realizes that :05.540 --> :08.750
the ventilation shafts are out of his reach on the ceiling.
:08.750 --> :11.050 Meanwhile, a guard is patrolling the cell area.
:11.050 --> :15.020 As luck would have it, the guard falls for
the dummy's trickery on his first pass, but :15.020 --> :18.850
on his second round, he becomes suspicious when Frank doesn't move.
:18.850 --> :23.440 His doubts escalate when his baton falls with
a loud noise, yet Frank doesn't flinch. :23.440 --> :28.140
However, before the guard can get a closer
look at the dummy, Frank is already in bed, :28.140 --> :29.750
avoiding the dummy being found. :29.750 --> :34.370
The following day, the Frank shares his findings
with his colleagues and checks on the prisoners' :34.370 --> :35.370
progress. :35.370 --> :39.149
The Anglin brothers are nearly finished, but Charlie is lagging behind.
:39.149 --> :43.300 That evening, Frank and John sneak into the
utility corridor to stash the raincoats they :43.300 --> :46.889
stole from the clothing store and inspect the ventilation shaft.
:46.889 --> :51.240 With John's help, Frank is now able to reach
it and examine it closely, and he realizes :51.240 --> :54.420
that they'll need some heavy-duty tools to pry it open.
:54.420 --> :58.130 Frank and John spot an electrical outlet on
the wall that gives them an idea. :58.130 --> :02.519
At the next band practice, Frank approaches
Litmus and strikes a deal - he'll get Litmus :02.519 --> :07.290
all of his desserts in exchange for an extension
cord and a drill from Litmus's shop. :07.290 --> :11.660
Later that day Frank seizes the opportunity
to pinch a small desk fan and cleverly hides :11.660 --> :13.270
it in his accordion case. :13.270 --> :16.910
He even manages to pull the wool over the
guard's eyes by diverting their attention :16.910 --> :18.649
to Charlie's case instead. :18.649 --> :22.850
With all the necessary tools, including a
penlight that they snatch from Doc, Frank :22.850 --> :26.350
and John head back to the utility corridor to start their work.
:26.350 --> :30.470 After staying vigilant for any approaching
guards, they employ a pipe that John wrenches :30.470 --> :34.070
off the wall to dismantle the bars safeguarding the shaft hole.
:34.070 --> :37.760 Frank climbs into the shaft and, with the
help of the drill he's crafted using Litmus' :37.760 --> :41.779
tip and the fan he swiped, he unscrews the metal plates sealing the passage.
:41.779 --> :46.590 A considerable amount of time has passed since
Frank's initial arrival to Alcatraz, and the :46.590 --> :49.040
team is now set to make their escape. :49.040 --> :53.480
Charlie expresses his concern about the durability
of his imitation grill, but John reassures :53.480 --> :56.589
him that the raft will be completed by next Tuesday.
:56.589 --> :00.750 Frank schedules the escape for Tuesday night,
and during breakfast one morning, he takes :00.750 --> :03.959
out the chrysanthemum that Doc had given him to water it.
:03.959 --> :08.090 Litmus is delighted to see it, and it reminds
him of the good old times he had with Doc. :08.090 --> :13.279
However, the warden has a contrasting reaction
to the flower as it reminds him of the paintings, :13.279 --> :17.920
so he storms over to the table and smashes
it, stating that it goes against the rules. :17.920 --> :23.260
This upsets Litmus, and he lunges at the warden,
but unfortunately, he collapses due to a heart :23.260 --> :24.260
attack. :24.260 --> :28.459
Following the incident with the chrysanthemum,
the warden grows increasingly suspicious of :28.459 --> :31.010
Frank, prompting him to order a cell search. :31.010 --> :35.310
Despite the warden's doubts, the fake grill
holds up to scrutiny, and nothing out of the :35.310 --> :36.670
ordinary is found. :36.670 --> :41.630
However, the warden's suspicions don't dissipate,
and he orders Frank's transfer to a different :41.630 --> :42.630
cell. :42.630 --> :46.860
fortunately for Frank, this bureaucratic process
takes time, and the transfer is scheduled :46.860 --> :48.160
for Tuesday morning. :48.160 --> :52.029
The next day, the group learns that Wolf is
back from the hole and is determined to take :52.029 --> :53.050
Frank down. :53.050 --> :57.540
To avoid any potential danger, Frank decides
to move the escape plan to that night instead :57.540 --> :58.670
of Tuesday. :58.670 --> :02.720
During their afternoon break in the yard,
Wolf tries to attack Frank, but English comes :02.720 --> :08.140
to the rescue and leads him to his gang, hinting
that Wolf will face consequences for his actions. :08.140 --> :11.529
As the night grows darker, the group finally takes action.
:11.529 --> :15.209 Frank and the Anglins expertly deceive the
guards with their cardboard doppelgangers :15.209 --> :20.389
and sneak into the utility corridor, but Charlie
falters and stays in his cell, sobbing. :20.389 --> :24.920
With the raft and litmus mouse in tow, the
trio climbs the ventilation shaft and emerges :24.920 --> :29.339
onto the roof, where they meticulously navigate
around the searchlights by staying alert to :29.339 --> :31.110
their movements and evading them. :31.110 --> :35.930
The trio successfully navigate the roof by
keeping an eye on the searchlights' movements. :35.930 --> :40.250
Using a pipeline against the side wall, they
manage to climb down and reach the yard, where :40.250 --> :43.269
they carefully avoid detection and make it to the fence.
:43.269 --> :47.620 In the meantime Charlie, who had a change
of heart, tried to join Frank and the Anglins :47.620 --> :52.670
on their escape, but unfortunately, he couldn't
reach the ventilation shaft without his friends' :52.670 --> :53.670
help. :53.670 --> :57.490 He ends up returning to his cell, feeling
down about missing the chance to escape. :57.490 --> :02.040
Meanwhile, Frank and the Anglins successfully
climb over the barbed wire fence using strategic :02.040 --> :03.820
jumps to avoid injuries. :03.820 --> :07.580
With that hurdle behind them, they quickly
make their way towards the shoreline of the :07.580 --> :08.580
island. :08.580 --> :12.450
With the raft inflated, Frank and the Anglins
jump into the water and use their legs to :12.450 --> :14.440
paddle themselves towards freedom. :14.440 --> :18.850
As morning breaks, the guards discover the
escape and an intense search for the prisoners :18.850 --> :21.029
begins, covering the entire island. :21.029 --> :25.060
As the search progresses, the guards come
across some of the inmates' belongings floating :25.060 --> :26.060
in the bay. :26.060 --> :29.600
The warden jumps to the conclusion that they
must have drowned because no one would abandon :29.600 --> :34.650
their cherished possessions, but a guard suggests
that it could all be a ruse to mislead them. :34.650 --> :39.279
Meanwhile, the warden discovers a chrysanthemum
resting on a rock, a clear indication that :39.279 --> :42.209
Frank and his accomplices are still at large. :42.209 --> :46.079
Even though the fugitives are presumed dead, their bodies are never recovered.
:46.079 --> :50.910 The prison eventually shuts down a year later

what was a loophole that you found and exploited the hell out of one year our
entire family went to the dog track for New Year's Eve they had a really good
dinner deal plus dancing with a great DJ
and of course gambling at midnight there was going to be a balloon drop each
balloon had a strip of paper listing a prize in it most were small like one
free $2 bet a free dessert things like that the grand prize was an all expense
paid trip for two to Durango Colorado to ride a Scenic Railroad earlier that
evening I was on the dance floor and happened to look up at the balloons one
odd thing stuck out to me you could see the Silhouettes of the paper strips
inside the balloons most were small around 2 in long but one right above my
head was at least as long as my entire hand I reasoned that that balloon had to
have the grand prize in it as it would take a lot of space to write out all
expenses paid trip for two to Durango Colorado for a ride on a historic
railroad I made sure to mark that balloon and right as it turned midnight
got directly underneath it and watched it like my life depended on it I grabbed
the balloon and sure enough I was correct I won a $2,000 trip but then I
turned around and sold the trip on eBay and got enough money to then buy my
wife's engagement ring it worked out really well for me | give me a good story on Whatwasaloopholethatyoufoundandexploitedthehelloutof |

what rule sounds stupid but isn't it's against the law to sleep it off in your
car when you're not feeling well from drinking yes it might seem unfair but in
reality it can make people believe they're okay to drive just because they
take a nap if they nap in the car they might end up driving later because they
didn't wait long enough imagine going to sleep feeling dizzy at 3:00 a.m. and
waking up at 6:00 a.m. you still shouldn't be driving depending on how
much you drank but feeling uncomfortable and seeing the sunrise may make you
think about driving those DUIs before 9:00 a.m. are often because of this I
was PID check four to five places for this and unfortunately some people ended
up in trouble for trying to do the right thing but after my first month in the
job my opinion completely changed allowing sleeping it off encourages
people with impaired judgment to drive when they shouldn't a short nap doesn't
make you safe to drive neither it is a longer one sometimes even after sleeping
for 8 hours you might not be fit to drive especially if you're dealing with
a terrible hangover and didn't sleep well you might need more than 12 hours
before you can safely drive home sure responsible adults act responsibly but
that's not always the case especially when it comes to Public Safety if one
out of 10 people isn't fit to drive that's already too risky consider
someone getting seriously hurt because they thought they were okay to drive
after a nap you couldn't even warn them by calling the cops because they might
drive off to avoid getting into trouble which would only make things worse any
responsible person who tried to warm the sleepers was fired because they'd be
encouraging a Tipsy person to drive I used to think this law was unfair until
I saw it in action and got involved now I still believe it shouldn't be allowed
but the punishment should be much less severe getting a ticket would be enough
but getting charged with a high crime for trying to sleep it off is too harsh
I wish everyone could act like responsible adults but we all know that
doesn't always happen this is New Mexico one of the states with the highest
number of incidents you can't just sleep
anywhere you want on private property if
you're going to drink heavily you should always have a way to get home safely
spending $10 to $100 in an Uber or taxi to follow well-known laws is a small
price to avoid getting charged with a DUI businesses aren't being mean by not
allowing people to sleep there they just don't want to deal with a mess and
trouble that often comes with it those who could walk talk and hold a
conversation simply walked away when asked to leave story to I worked at a
place that makes pizzas like a self- served Pizza Bar at the end of the night
I'm constantly getting people asking hey do you discount the pizzas when you're
close to closing what why not you're going to throw it away anyway do you
donate the pizza you don't sell what you don't what a waste lots of people could
eat that or just can you give me some of the pizza for free what why not you're
going to throw it away anyway no I won't discount the pizza for you the problem
is that when it's common knowledge that pizzas get discounted like say an hour
before the place closes people will literally just stop buying Pizza any
other time and just wait until an hour before the place closes to buy pizza not
even making that stuff up that's how people are and more selfishly I don't
want to be busy making pizza in the last hour before we close because I got
raided by penny pinching a-holes now we don't donate the pizza we don't sell
firstly by the time that food gets to the people who could eat it that is old
garbage Pizza why do you think that just because someone is down to their luck
they deserve some of of those is that what you think they want to eat they're
not your damn garbage disposal bins but most importantly it's a health code
violation if it's not good enough to sell to you it's not good enough to give
away if someone gets sick eating some old crusty donated Pizza the place will
be held liable for it places like restaurants or grocery stores that have
donated old food in the past have lost lawsuits from people who took the food
as donations and got sick from it now they just throw most of it away to cover
themselves however there are some items that my workplace does donate it's not
pizza though just another example of people taking advantage of a good thing
and screwing it up for everyone else now
I won't give the pizza away just because I'm going to throw it away the reason
we're discouraged from doing this is that pizza makers will just happily make
a ton of extra Pizza they know they can't sell and either take it home for
themselves or give it to other cooworker friends and you can be sure that is
literally exactly what I would do I love pizza and I love making pizza for my
friends Story three I'm not 100% sure if this is an actual rule but I imagine it
must be warning labels and packages of peanuts that say may contain nuts
everybody loves to about how that warning shouldn't be necessary and some
people use it as an example of how the world has gone mad or how we're over
litigious nowadays even though the presence of a warning label doesn't
necessarily mean somebody was sued the actual reason you would have that
specific warning in that specific product is because peanuts are not
actually nuts but are sometimes processed in the same factories as
actual nuts if you have an allergy to tree nuts but not peanuts which are
legumes you'd probably really want to know if the otherwise safe to you
peanuts you're snacking on might contain traces of the true tree nuts that may
cause a reaction having said that even on products where it should be obvious
like putting containing peanuts on Peanut Butter does it really harm
anybody to have a warning label there if
it might possibly reinforce a vital fact to somebody with an allergy I also once
went to a restaurant that had a bar with some friends and for some reason they
weren't allowing anyone below drinking age 21 in that day I showed my driver's
license to the guy for age verification and he told me he couldn't let me in
because my license had expired two days before I have a two-year license since
I'm an international student the date of birth in my license still showed me at
24 but he said he wouldn't couldn't let me in at the time I was super upset
because while my license was expired that didn't magically change my age I
wasn't in the mood to argue so I just left after some online searching I found
out that as per the law verifying someone in an expired ID is the same as
verifying in a fake ID and the blame lies in the verifier aka the poor guy
just trying to do his job the management
would not have risked their business for this one dude so while this law is
extremely dumb it does kind of make sense story four compulsory voting less
influence of money in the system the whole dynamic of convincing your people
to turn up and the others to live in the
apathy is gone no access issues everyone has to vote so if you're stuck at work
you can either preo or in many places vote at work there's no compulsion to
cast a valid vote you just need to turn up and have your name checked off you
can cross out the names and make it clear you don't want any of them much
less fraud you can't easily vote for others at least not in a large scale
because they will turn up discover that a vote has been made in their name and
report it it isn't an issue I used to be against this but having seen elections
in Greece fair but with all the issues above and the USA atrocious I can't
believe anyone thinks that the system is valid I think the Australian model is
the only way to go also being a bouncer we ask people to go through the ropes
the queue system even if there are no other people in the queue and even
though we have an opening in the ropes right in front of the entrance the
reason is that you never know how much time it will take to check someone's ID
purse or bag or who may be too Tipsy to enter and may cause a scene this would
clutter up the opening which is also an exit and Lead straight to the side walk
which can be pretty busy people start queuing up where they see other people
standing the sidewalk gets blocked and people passing by start walking in the
street instead which can be risky if someone were to cause a fight when
denied access there's a much bigger chance that innocent bystanders might
get involved if this happens in the sidewalk than it happens in the front of
the queue is this area is more controlled Story five I used to be a
flight attendant so many rules seem stupid but make sense in certain
situations for example people are always
mad because they have to put their phone
or computer away for takeoff and Landing but the fact is that those are the most
dangerous parts of the flight I personally discovered why they want them
stored when on takeoff one day we had some weird weather that caused extreme
turbulence anything that wasn't stored went flying shoes phones books computers
etc so not only did people's property get messed up but it also hit other
people it was insane and completely unexpected by the flight crew just put
your stuff away flying is dangerous and it's amazing that we managed to complete
millions of flights a year with so few injuries also as a flight attendant not
only could I be fired but I could be find tens of thousands of dollars
personally if I let you ignore the rules
so just don't another thing I remembered
not related to Flying is that the driver window and the front passenger window
shouldn't be tinted too dark it is illegal to tint at all in some states it
makes perfect sense so I can see what the other driver is doing and know
whether to avoid him or her I've seen other drivers text or eat or do makeup
or open an Amazon package while driving I realized there's the underlying
problem with texting or being distracted while driving too but and I nope away
from them one time I almost got hit by a BMW because he was texting and I could
barely see inside his limo tent however dark it was thankfully the other lane
was opened up because if I slammed on my brakes the car behind me would have
rended me also tailgating stinks highly popular opinion but the front passenger
and Driver Windows should never ever be allowed to go darker than 50% people who
get angry at the first rule are either just entitled or being unreasonable or
both story six Mass surveillance and strict rules when you're a citizen you
want all the freedom that you can get once you're in the administration the
police force or the government you'll realize the immense possibility of
something going wrong there could be all kinds of incidents and accidents stuff
can happen at any time without warning people will blame the government for
everything but the reality is that the government is also just a bunch of
people they can't predict any better than you can so the best way to deal
with any situation is to have as much central control as possible a direct
chain of command will ensure a faster resolution of the crisis Mass
surveillance will help in helping and finding people faster of course I'm not
promoting Mass surveillance but it is one way to look at it too another thing
that came to mind is that there's a law in Massachusetts where you can't have
anyone else in the vehicle for your first 6 months of having a driver's
license if you're not yet of age there are exceptions of course such as driving
a family member license or no license but if even one passenger is into of age
then another 6 months are added to your license if I remember right you could
even get it taken away for some time if caught enough I personally feel like the
exceptions make the law kind of pointless it's made to make sure that
fewer youngsters are involved in accidents but it still doesn't stop
people that are related to the driver from getting into them but at the same
time it's understandable it doesn't stop me and 95% of the other young drivers
with a new license from breaking that rule though hey there before we dive
into the next rule that sounds made up hit the like button and subscribe for

story S no recording devices or cell phones even in your pocket and a roller
coaster I used to work at Bush Gardens and guests would get so mad that we
would ask them about phones in their pockets and kick them off the ride if
they didn't put their phones in the cup but it's because when a phone or camera
that you're holding to record your epic ride drops or falls out of your pocket
it has a high possibility of hitting someone plus as an employee it's a huge
safety violation if I let you take it once I see it I could get fired
Prosthetics fall into this category as well yes I've had to hold on to a few
while I was an employee there also one of my first jobs was working in a
supermarket we trained that if anyone youngl looking wanted to buy booze we
had to ID them fair enough but suppose that same person come back on another
day and you recognize them from the last time and remember that they're of legal
age that doesn't matter I still need to ask for ID every time why because if
another customer sees a youngl looking person get served without even being
asked for ID they might report it to the police the police will then shut the
store down for the day while they review all the CCTV footage and interview
everyone in the staff by the time they established that the customer was not
underage the store will have lost at least a day's worth of business and
gained a reputation as a place that sells booze to kids story8 back when I
used to work in the shows and attractions Department at a theme park
strollers were not allowed in any of the show stadiums and certain exhibits
people would absolutely flip over this people would see dozens sometimes
hundreds on a busy day of strollers parked all along the pathways and still
try to come in with theirs whenever we would stop them and Polly ask them to
park it they would become irate we were constantly shouted at because of this
more times than we could count I can partially understand their initial
frustration it is a theme park geared towards fames so wire stor is forbidden
from the shows because of the fire code see all those dozens and of strollers in
the pathway imagine all of those crammed into an already packed Stadium imagine
some kind of emergency happening and everybody scrambling to leave all at
once people are running up and downstairs and the crowd is
bottlenecking at all the exits all those
strollers would slow everything down and create a hazard also h fine can I at
least take it to the PWD seating no you absolutely cannot our stadiums a very
very limited spots for wheelchairs I don't care if nobody's sitting there now
but what if someone in a wheelchair would like to see the show but shows up
5 minutes later and cam because your a titled able-bodied self took up a spot
with her stroller but my baby has been awake all day and she's finally asleep
so you think the best thing to do would be to take it to a show with obnoxiously
loud music and sound effects working there really made me hate strollers well
you can wear your baby in a carrier nowadays story N I was at a medium-sized
plant in Wisconsin about to do some support and a holding furnace before I'm
allowed to do work I have to review their safety material and sign a few
sheets kind of standard stuff for plants approaching this size as I'm flipping
through the book I get to the safety section regarding their melters and
something piques my interest normally they're pretty repetitive but this page
in one rule I've never seen anywhere else no water on the operating deck all
water must be in the operator's room this includes spittle what why did it
have to specify that so I asked the main
and supervisor oh well this is something you've got to hear we had an operator
who liked to chew tobacco not really an issue as he kept his spatoon in the
operator room disgusting but whatever he showed up and did his job till one day
he decided to put the bottle in the pocket of his shirt as he did his job at
first it wasn't an issue until toward the end of the shift when it got more
and more full you see he opened the furnace to check the temperature
visually as he bent over it spilled out into the furnace boom metal flew
everywhere the kicker was his family suit afterwards they argued that the no
water rule was vague and he didn't know it applied to other fluids I mean that
kind of should have been a no-brainer not going to lie story 10 many chess
tournaments are segregated by by gender on the surface you'd think that there
shouldn't be a difference between men's and women's abilities to play chess and
you'd be right the thing is though that a mixed chess tournaments women are very
underrepresented if you were to hold two
gendered events however you'd get a much higher number of women in attendance
there's also the fact that females perform so much worse at chess that it's
almost statistically impossible for there to ever be a female world champion
in a mixed tournament the gender split exists primarily because this difference
is well recognized and both genders are given an equal playing field it has
nothing to do with Fe Fales being underrepresented and everything to do
with a female ELO distribution being 250 points to the left of the male
distribution even if women outnumbered men in chess 100 to1 the chances of a
female world champion would still be almost impossible due to this Gap that's
how big it is sorry if this doesn't line up with today's politically correct
agenda and it does appear to be an actual gender innate skill difference
not a socioeconomic Factor the gender ELO Gap has remained constant ever since
it was tracked while socioeconomic factors for females have been trending
up story 11 when a police officer tells you to do
something even though you don't understand why there's very good reason
behind it the media is awful at portraying this anywhere near accurately
the biggest example is keep your hands out of your pocket do not put your hands
into your pockets simple and clear instructions yet in certain areas within
10 seconds they're going right back into the pocket in case you don't think this
is an issue Firearms quickly come out of pocket so it's Paramount that you don't
put your hands there after being told if you didn't know reaction is insanely
slower than action so you cannot allow anything that will cause this secondary
reasoning is people think they can just ignore that and pull a cell phone out of
their pocket well in lowl light situations what do you think a cell
phone resembles if you have nothing and do this you're looked at as suspicious
and will probably now be searched what do you think people who carry substances
unconsciously do they touch those items as an unconscious nervous tick some try
to ditch those items Etc always listen to a police officer you can always
complain later if you've been treated unjustly story 12 don't work in the
Sabbath I mean this in the more serious sense of not just refraining from what
you do for a job but don't do any of the annoying crap of the day-to-day life it
seems honorous and outdated on the surface but I think there's a lot of
wisdom to it if you're not accustomed to it I find that it's surprisingly
difficult to have one day just Reserve to relax and enjoy life free of
bothersome responsibilities this means don't pay bills don't do housework don't
buy groceries and don't run a little errands you just need to get done it
actually takes some forethought and planning to make sure you don't let the
little annoying things just pile up for weekend work but it is amazingly
rewarding to feel like you just don't need to do anything for one day I think
it's actually a very smart rule if you don't stop to really enjoy and
experience your life you just end up living day to-day week to week with the
exception of Vacations so before you know it life is passing you by and you
wonder where the time went this way you get a little vacation every single week
God knows I need one of these story 13 no hard candy at school I had a second
grade student who had trouble with a heart-shaped hard candy in class I
performed the him lick maneuver and managed to dislodge it slightly I had
the most most responsible student run for help we got him a rolling chair and
pushed him to the nurse's office however she was not there thankfully the school
secretary showed up and she called 911 fortunately the local ambulance service
was in town having just returned from the closest hospital which is 50 Mi away
the candy had softened enough on the ride to the hospital ensuring that the
boy survived I called his Guardian that evening and she was so appreciative that
it didn't happen during his bus ride home or while alone at home so no hard
candy in my classroom ever again huh we knew rules could sometimes defy our
expect these are quite reasonable but there's
always a flip side of rules that take a sharp turn for the worse head over to
what rules have been implemented and backfired horribly I don't miss story
2's epicity see you there | give me a good story on RULESTHATSOUNDSTUPIDBUTISNTorig |
|
:11.130 --> :13.300 This is a short and sweet story.
:13.300 --> :17.550 My dads good friend did rubbish collections
for a while when he was skint. :17.550 --> :21.910
(Essentially a man with a van who would lump
all your rubbish into the back of his pick-up :21.910 --> :24.130
and get rid of it for a fixed price). :24.130 --> :28.850
He agreed a price to clear a lot of rubbish
from a customers house, which took him half :28.850 --> :30.840
a day and filled his van. :30.840 --> :34.410
As he was about to drive off, he requested payment.
:34.410 --> :38.100 Knowing that he had invested a lot of time
and effort into collecting and loading all :38.100 --> :43.470
this rubbish, the customer tried to capitalise
on his vulnerability and knock him down on :43.470 --> :44.480 price.
:44.480 --> :49.020 After a few choice words and the customer
not budging, my dads mate got in his van without :49.020 --> :51.850
taking any money and started to drive off. :51.850 --> :54.640
He then backed up onto the customers drive. :54.640 --> :59.481
Here’s where it gets interesting, what the
customer obviously didn’t realise, was the :59.481 --> :01.930
van was a tipper van. :01.930 --> :06.780
As the bed of the van started rising, the
customer was frantically offering the full :06.780 --> :08.080
amount of payment. :08.080 --> :13.680
My dads mate, even though he was skint, refused
to stop the tipper function and said the rubbish :13.680 --> :18.560
was piled up so high, the customer, who was
standing there bewildered, wouldn’t have :18.560 --> :20.760
even been able to get in the front door. :20.760 --> :33.750
He drove off skint and happy. :33.750 --> :39.280
I will try to keep it short. :39.280 --> :49.890
Also, English is not my mother tongue so I
apologise in advance for any mistakes. :49.890 --> :00.330 The
story takes place at an ice cream shop. :00.330 --> :06.030
I (15M) was sent to buy some ice cream because
some relatives would come to eat with us. :06.030 --> :11.210
I went to the ice cream shop and it was packed
(I waited around 20 minutes for my turn). :11.210 --> :16.830
When my turn arrived an old couple (from those
entitled ones) tried to steal my turn. :16.830 --> :21.280
I politely explain to them that it is my turn
and that they have to wait (I think they skipped :21.280 --> :23.069
some more customers). :23.069 --> :26.640
They insist that they have been waiting longer
than me and that it is their turn. :26.640 --> :30.400
They ignore me and order 1 kg vanilla ice cream. :30.400 --> :33.660
At the time not much vanilla ice cream was left. :33.660 --> :38.379
Back to the conflict a gentleman told the
couple that it was indeed my turn and that :38.379 --> :39.520
they should wait. :39.520 --> :42.680
Finally, they let me order and guess what I did. :42.680 --> :47.290
I told the employee to fill the container
with vanilla and the remaining space with :47.290 --> :48.290
strawberry. :48.290 --> :51.660
The look on the face of the couple was amazing. :51.660 --> :55.930
Even other customers where laughing and the employee was trying to cover hers.
:55.930 --> :58.640 I said bye to the couple and left.
:58.640 --> :02.760 I know it was really petty but I would do
the same again if I had the chance. :02.760 --> :05.580
If the couple was kind, I wouldn't be so petty. :05.580 --> :35.500
I only did what I did due to their entitlement. :35.500 --> :40.290
My family resides in one of those rural areas,
where lots of land has been passed down and :40.290 --> :43.870
split up between relatives for many generations. :43.870 --> :48.069
Imagine growing up on a road, not only named
after your family, but more than half of your :48.069 --> :51.129
family resides at some point on said road. :51.129 --> :54.870
Naturally, this leads to some drama every decade or so.
:54.870 --> :59.870 In more recent years, there was a dispute
over a road sign being placed on said road, :59.870 --> :04.189
causing different branches of the family to
begin to hate and act petty against one another. :04.189 --> :09.069
While I was not directly effected by said
drama, I could not help but participate to :09.069 --> :14.370
help pee of the other side of the family,
mostly due to them being jerks to my brother. :14.370 --> :19.930
My family can be very old school and if someone
messes with your siblings, you take their :19.930 --> :20.930 side.
:20.930 --> :26.800
This war went on for years, with family complaining
about family to the township, State Police :26.800 --> :28.230
and so on. :28.230 --> :33.759
These complaints came from "Side A" as we
will call it, and my side, "Side B" really :33.759 --> :38.980
just laughed off their efforts and tried to
antagonize Side A through various annoying :38.980 --> :41.410
means, all of which were legal. :41.410 --> :44.210
That is where my part in this story comes along. :44.210 --> :50.090
Our road is half public, half private, with
Side A living on the public side and Side :50.090 --> :52.169
B living on the private side. :52.169 --> :57.669
Naturally, anything we did would pee off Side
A, but one thing that really irked them, was :57.669 --> :00.990
if I drove over 10mph on the road. :00.990 --> :05.680
Being a legal road, the speed limit was 25, which was the speed I chose to go.
:05.680 --> :11.039 On a dirt road in the summer, you can imagine
that how much dust rose up, constantly making :11.039 --> :14.169
their houses be surrounded by a dust bomb. :14.169 --> :19.680
Their answer to my fast driving and dust clouds
were to pull onto our private road and peel :19.680 --> :22.990
out, spewing rocks and dust and all that. :22.990 --> :28.440
While I did not care that they did this (Side
B is not easily bothered), I saw my opportunity :28.440 --> :31.840
to mess with them in a way that they could get in legal trouble.
:31.840 --> :37.490 One day, when they were outside, I made sure
to drive by super fast and raise as much dirt :37.490 --> :38.639
as possible... :38.639 --> :40.480 this was right at dusk.
:40.480 --> :45.370 Once I hit my part of the driveway, I backed
into a small garage and shut my headlights :45.370 --> :46.800
off... and waited. :46.800 --> :51.890
Low and behold Side A pulls in and backs into
our road and was about to peel out, but I :51.890 --> :56.600
turned on my headlights, blinded them and
blocked them in on our private road, right :56.600 --> :59.289
under our no trespassing signs. :59.289 --> :03.180
Since we live in the middle of the woods,
they really had no where to go and were stuck :03.180 --> :04.600
under my mercy. :04.600 --> :09.539
I proceeded to take pictures and call the
State Police about trespassers in our driveway. :09.539 --> :15.050
That day, they got slapped with warnings to
leave Side B alone and not trespass, had everything
:15.050 --> :17.660 that happened documented, and so on.
:17.660 --> :22.310 So essentially, all their complaints were
bullcrap, we irked them enough to do something :22.310 --> :24.930
stupid enough to get them in actual trouble. :24.930 --> :26.740
It was grand. :26.740 --> :30.690
Side A called and tried to apologize and settle the feud after that.
:30.690 --> :50.000 It was a glorious day for
:50.000 --> :01.880 Side B. Once upon a time, I was a travel agent
and accepted a job at a small, family run :01.880 --> :03.580
agency in Austin. :03.580 --> :08.340
Both owners also worked there along with their
daughter and they were not good managers. :08.340 --> :11.000
They were also really cheap idiots. :11.000 --> :16.229
When I joined, I brought the agency a ton
of business including a very big corporate :16.229 --> :17.229
account. :17.229 --> :21.490 When I'd finally had enough of all of the
stupid interoffice conflict, I applied and :21.490 --> :27.639
got a job at another agency where I had always
wanted to work and gave two weeks notice. :27.639 --> :32.229
Instead I was summarily escorted out the door with minutes of giving my notice.
:32.229 --> :36.919 This was back in the medieval days when we
all had a Rolodex where we kept out important :36.919 --> :40.639
contacts and the owners refused to allow me to take it with me.
:40.639 --> :45.660 I knew the names and numbers of all the clients
that I wanted to take with me anyway. :45.660 --> :46.660 Whatever.
:46.660 --> :51.720 I had worked there for two years by this point
and 8 months prior, the owners had sent me :51.720 --> :57.599
on a familiarization trip which was a pretty
customary way to allow an agent to experience :57.599 --> :03.180
a destination in order to better sell it .
As I had never skied before, they sent me :03.180 --> :05.500
to Crest Butte for 4 days. :05.500 --> :12.350
The entire trip cost them $125 which included
my airline ticket, shuttle,lodging, ski pass, :12.350 --> :15.449
equipment and 1 morning of beginner lessons . :15.449 --> :17.580
Meals were on me which was fine. :17.580 --> :21.289
When I received my last pay check, they had
written on the stub that they had deducted :21.289 --> :22.889
the $125.00. :22.889 --> :25.419 Again, whatever.
:25.419 --> :30.310 I immediately spent the entire morning calling
everyone that I had ever worked with there :30.310 --> :32.740
whether I really enjoyed working with them or not. :32.740 --> :36.700
If they had spent money with me, they got a call. :36.700 --> :37.700
Everyone. :37.700 --> :43.340
The big account of course came with me along
with 99% of the clientele including those :43.340 --> :46.380
clients that I had developed through the last agency.
:46.380 --> :51.710 Ran into the American airlines rep at a function
about 6 months later and he told me that the :51.710 --> :59.029
owner had whined and complained that I cost
him $250,000.00 in that time period alone. :59.029 --> :36.850
All for a measly $125.00. :36.850 --> :39.490
this revenge was more “unintentional”. :39.490 --> :43.610
I started dating A friend of mine in 2020 a month before covid hit.
:43.610 --> :44.899 Long story short. :44.899 --> :50.070
covid really took a toll on me, I was really
depressed and living on my own in a 4 bedroom :50.070 --> :51.090 apt.
:51.090 --> :57.610 Gained 30 pounds and was 225lbs more or less
and started playing video games with our friends, :57.610 --> :03.680
my ex, his cousin, and another friend we had
all went to hs with who moved to Illinois. :03.680 --> :08.790
6 months later the relationship ended mostly
because his one friend and cousin wouldn’t :08.790 --> :11.370
stop bullying and he did nothing about it. :11.370 --> :14.450
They were calling me fat, so many times. :14.450 --> :16.610
And lots of other horrible things. :16.610 --> :22.160
I let them sleep over my apartment numerous
times and they continued to lie to me, about :22.160 --> :23.950
me, bully me. :23.950 --> :27.880
Even my ex would lie about me to them, which would just make it worse.
:27.880 --> :32.470 I cried a lot and my self esteem and confidence
went out the window. :32.470 --> :38.161
Summer of 2021 I had gotten a surgery that
I really wanted but in order to get it I had :38.161 --> :39.730
to be at my goal weight. :39.730 --> :41.850
So I lost 60 pounds 🤷🏼♀️. :41.850 --> :42.850 Felt amazing.
:42.850 --> :47.390 Well, Illinois friend and ex hadn’t changed
(to this day they haven’t). :47.390 --> :52.350
Illinois friend was constantly coked up and
never left the house and had a degree he hated :52.350 --> :54.970
from a school he hated even more. :54.970 --> :59.399
Ex was miserable, never went to school and only worked dead end jobs.
:59.399 --> :03.950 Always complaining about everything and the
most negative excuse ridden person I’ve :03.950 --> :04.950 ever met.
:04.950 --> :07.139 Again, they’re both still like this.
:07.139 --> :09.920 3 years later, I’m still at that goal weight.
:09.920 --> :12.880 I feel amazing, I’ve never been so happy.
:12.880 --> :19.240 (Im so happy I could cry) I’m about to graduate
with a BFA degree in glass blowing And a minor :19.240 --> :25.959
in business and will go on to pursue another
degree (associates) in scientific glass work :25.959 --> :28.430
which will take me a year and a half tops to get. :28.430 --> :32.200
I work at the most amazing place in the world in my field.
:32.200 --> :37.420 I make money off of commissions and rent studio
space I can finally afford with some of the :37.420 --> :40.880
best, most supportive people I’ve ever met. :40.880 --> :52.410
Long term revenge is amazing <3 :52.410 --> :11.589 I
:11.589 --> :19.980 read
movie scripts for production companies, critiquing :19.980 --> :25.889
screenplays, judging story, breaking down
characters, analyzing the writing in general. :25.889 --> :31.300
Niche gig but it pays my rent and I get to
read a lot of cool movies before they're made. :31.300 --> :36.010
BUT it does skate along the edge of conflict,
because some screenwriters are -- for lack :36.010 --> :40.850
of a better term -- self-important pricks
who refuse to believe someone like me can :40.850 --> :44.100
criticize their masterpiece with impunity. :44.100 --> :46.000
So I'm reading this script. :46.000 --> :49.130
Turn of the century period piece, nothing remarkable.
:49.130 --> :53.120 But I notice a few spelling errors, and I
make a note of it in my coverage. :53.120 --> :54.930
I submit it and that's that. :54.930 --> :01.010
A few days later, I get an email from my supervisor:
the writer takes issue with my notes. :01.010 --> :07.430
Apparently the writer submitted the script
to an editor beforehand, so AcKtUaLly there :07.430 --> :09.980
shouldn't be any spelling errors at all. :09.980 --> :15.720
The writer also helpfully explained he is
Australian, therefore any alleged typos are :15.720 --> :18.940
probably just regional dialect differences. :18.940 --> :20.990
To which I say: oh please. :20.990 --> :26.600
I'm cultured as chest, I know regional language
differences and these aren't that. :26.600 --> :31.430
This is DRESSING with three S's, obvious mistakes like that.
:31.430 --> :36.839 I'm sitting at my gate at LAX and I decide
I've got a spare thirty minutes to be righteously :36.839 --> :42.570
petty, so I open up their script and make
a master list of every single typo, page by :42.570 --> :44.310
page, line by line. :44.310 --> :45.440 The supply was ample.
:45.440 --> :51.040 I send them an email with the master list
-- "Hope this helps!" -- and board my flight. :51.040 --> :52.769
Never heard from them again. :52.769 --> :13.089
Lesson: don't throw stones from inside your
typo-ridden glass house, and whoever your :13.089 --> :24.220
editor is, fire them. :24.220 --> :29.601
Nothing in comparison to the usual on here...
but petty nonetheless and I still smile 2 :29.601 --> :32.130
years after the fact thinking about it. :32.130 --> :36.910
For context, I was a financial advisor in
training in my home country, and during the :36.910 --> :41.790
pandemic, my partner was let go and soon got offered a job in the UAE.
:41.790 --> :46.891 Within a matter of weeks, I had secured a
role as a "trainee financial advisor" with :46.891 --> :51.660
a fast track to qualification and full advisor status and we moved.
:51.660 --> :54.670 Like most, I was ecstatic to be starting my
new life. :54.670 --> :59.230
Day one as a trainee and I'm shuffled into
a room where they're literally firing people :59.230 --> :01.050
so we have space to sit. :01.050 --> :06.430
There are some 40 odd people there most of
whom had no interest in personal finance but :06.430 --> :10.500
were lured in by the "big money" and glamour they were sold.
:10.500 --> :17.209 Bartenders, bricklayers, surf teachers, car
salesmen (obviously) college grads... in all, :17.209 --> :21.830
I found 1 other person who actually wanted to work in financial advice.
:21.830 --> :27.970 Within 2 months I had secured an advisor to
work with and train under - I was safe (they :27.970 --> :32.029
fired people weekly with no thoughts for the
fact that everyone had quit jobs and moved :32.029 --> :33.790
halfway around the world). :33.790 --> :36.830
Having an advisor meant you were less likely to be fired.
:36.830 --> :38.300 The job was hard. :38.300 --> :43.730
Spend your working hours ringing strangers
to sit down with the advisor, all other (spare, :43.730 --> :48.190
free, and unpaid) time was spent trying to
find another few hundred people to ring next :48.190 --> :51.480
week along with studying for the exams. :51.480 --> :57.279
My advisor was what you expect, slicked-back
hair, personality to make anyone love him, :57.279 --> :58.630
and ruthlessly cutthroat. :58.630 --> :03.240
Did he help you in your job as your manager like he's supposed to?
:03.240 --> :05.500 He'll take the bigger cut of commission.
:05.500 --> :09.199 Did he speak with you but not deem your money
a big enough amount to work with? :09.199 --> :11.170
Yeah, he's not answering your call. :11.170 --> :12.540
Did he threaten your livelihood? :12.540 --> :13.860 no, no, no.
:13.860 --> :16.209 A wordsmith would never do that.
:16.209 --> :21.259
He stole and shortchanged everyone about everything.
:21.259 --> :29.009 The man-made 10s of thousands of GBP per month
and still personally chose his assistant's :29.009 --> :32.140
date of travel to get the cheapest flights. :32.140 --> :36.769
When I finally had to acknowledge that this
wasn't it for me - I want to help people not :36.769 --> :40.370
shove them into commission-driving products that don't suit them.
:40.370 --> :44.310 Oh, I got guilted, blamed, shamed, the works.
:44.310 --> :49.339 I wasn't loyal - lol you do realize you fire
people weekly? :49.339 --> :54.530
I cleared out my desk, wrote my letter of
resignation, deleted all my files, and re-jigged :54.530 --> :58.940
all MY contacts and prospective clients in the system.
:58.940 --> :59.940 This was Friday. :59.940 --> :02.130
I hadn't even left the building... :02.130 --> :06.360
I was sitting with the CEO, saying my goodbyes and taking his advice.
:06.360 --> :10.640 The first thing he checked was that all my
contacts were still there. :10.640 --> :14.880
Immediately setting someone the task of calling them all Monday morning.
:14.880 --> :18.680 Nothing in this industry is more important
than data. :18.680 --> :23.260
Names and contact details for the wealthiest
around the world with millions of pounds squirreled
:23.260 --> :25.959 away to make a fat bonus off.
:25.959 --> :30.970 He didn't see people, he saw dollar signs,
and euro signs, and pound signs. :30.970 --> :35.940
What I knew, that he didn't, was the new system
was set to delete all contacts that weren't :35.940 --> :37.990
updated in 30 days. :37.990 --> :40.640
Why would he pay attention when IT told him this? :40.640 --> :42.490
He had minions to do this. :42.490 --> :48.559
I deleted all actions and rejigged them so
the 30-day cutoff was over that weekend. :48.559 --> :53.380
When he arrived in the following Monday he
was heard shouting "where the freak are all :53.380 --> :54.830
my prospects". :54.830 --> :56.770 They're not your prospects!
:56.770 --> :03.799 I searched for them in my free time, I paid
for the services out of pocket, and I contacted :03.799 --> :04.799
them. :04.799 --> :05.799 That's my data.
:05.799 --> :12.039 I gave you a year of my life, shot my nervous
system to crap with stress, and gained 10 :12.039 --> :13.039 kilos.
:13.039 --> :18.480 I trusted you to teach me the way and instead
you gave me thickly veiled threats, forced :18.480 --> :23.210
me into a pay cut, and took everything you
could, knowing fine well I was stranded on :23.210 --> :25.270
the other side of the world and had no choice. :25.270 --> :29.140
And you thought I'd leave the fruits of my labor? :29.140 --> :30.140
LOL :30.140 --> :35.429 I'm sure the IT guy could probably recover
them - if he ever thought to ask (do Boomers :35.429 --> :36.710
know you can do that?) :36.710 --> :42.039
But it gives me so much satisfaction to know
that this slick mother f*cker broke his cool :42.039 --> :55.419
demeanor in front of the whole office because :55.419 --> :00.990
of me. :00.990 --> :17.059 Worked at one of those car lots where they
sell you a $2500 car in 60 or 90 inflated :17.059 --> :22.360
payments with interest so high you end up paying $25k for it.
:22.360 --> :26.880 Office had the ridiculous “Selling Sales
Manager” business model- where your boss :26.880 --> :32.240
competes with you for commission on sales,
thus the bosses’ success means your financial :32.240 --> :34.640
deficits- and vice versa. :34.640 --> :40.280
She was THE boss, no one else above her in
our lot- anyone higher rank was across town :40.280 --> :42.470
at the underwriting offices. :42.470 --> :48.510
She stole EVERY sale she could get away with
from me, when I was hired she said “Your :48.510 --> :52.160
success is my success”- liar! :52.160 --> :57.530
She hated every single sale I made cause in
her head it should have been her extra commission :57.530 --> :58.960
on her next check. :58.960 --> :03.730
So finally a lady comes in and her name is
under mine in our system, the only person :03.730 --> :09.030
I ever saw “the powers that be” replace
the car she was buying when it broke down :09.030 --> :13.530
(must have gotten a lawyer) but my boss has already set her in her office.
:13.530 --> :19.600 She lowers her voice to tell her she is so
sorry- it’s my sale, I’m not THAT bad :19.600 --> :24.610
but… the lady of course thinks this is a
terrible thing and demands to stay with her, :24.610 --> :30.380
my boss says “well if you WANT me over her,
that’s a different story” an coaches her :30.380 --> :32.880
on switching salesperson 101. :32.880 --> :34.110 I’m livid.
:34.110 --> :38.840 I come back the next 2 days while deciding
I’m quitting this is the last straw- but :38.840 --> :44.560
the lady is really difficult, and no matter
what my boss does she can’t seem to satisfy :44.560 --> :45.560 her.
:45.560 --> :52.360 Finally she spends ALL DAY tracking down parts
and having THE car spruced up for the lady- :52.360 --> :57.870
down to cleaning it herself out there sweating
and whining cause the detail guy sucked. :57.870 --> :02.640
Lady comes in at the end of the day, still unhappy, has her grown son with her.
:02.640 --> :09.090 Boss is ticked, drops miss nice sales lady
routine and is outright trying to badger them :09.090 --> :10.160
into this car. :10.160 --> :14.990
I find out it’s cause there will BE NO commission
on this sale, since it’s a replacement. :14.990 --> :15.990 YeS.
:15.990 --> :18.370 They are being picky cause they CAN be.
:18.370 --> :23.140 I’ve decided to quit, so I leave at closing
time , even though we are supposed to stay :23.140 --> :25.600
with the other if their sale runs late. :25.600 --> :28.789
These people had ALMOST decided to get the car. :28.789 --> :31.020
They’re standing in front of it talking. :31.020 --> :36.049
I get in my car and as I’m leaving I pull
beside them and roll my window down and say :36.049 --> :38.510
“Don’t let her bully you into buying anything you don’t want.
:38.510 --> :41.880 It’s your money, you don’t have any to
get anything unless YOU want it, not cause :41.880 --> :43.429
she decided for you”. :43.429 --> :46.120
The man and woman are like I KNOW THATS RIGHT. :46.120 --> :50.760
I said keep looking until you find the right
one-it’s her job to show you every single :50.760 --> :55.809
car if that’s what you want and driving
away I see my boss walk out smiling cause :55.809 --> :01.090
she thinks it is over and I sat long enough
at the exit to see the smile wiped right off :01.090 --> :05.540
her stupid greedy face when she realized she’d
be there all night :) I'm actually bewildered..I :05.540 --> :06.540
haven't been caring about work lately at all,
like blatantly doing what I want not caring :06.540 --> :07.540
what happens..My Manager has never liked me,
he's a short balding chubby man with a chip :07.540 --> :08.540
on his shoulder, tells me my height and fitness is a waste of life.
:08.540 --> :09.540 Calls every woman who flirts with me at work
"ugly af" He forced me on busy shifts all :09.540 --> :10.540
by myself to purposely sabotage me. :10.540 --> :11.540
When I asked why no other help he said "nobody was available".
:11.540 --> :12.540 Then other Employees told me he called them
telling them they weren't needed those same :12.540 --> :13.540
nights!! :13.540 --> :14.540
So last Monday I had an evaluation (Everyone
who speaks up at these seem to get ignored :14.540 --> :15.540
or get canned by our Manager) I went in honestly not caring at all.
:15.540 --> :16.540 I brought my lunch to it and even offered
her a mini bag of Doritos. :16.540 --> :17.540
"No Thanks" she chuckled telling me to have a sit in an authoritative manner.
:17.540 --> :18.540 I casually sat back in the chair "No problem"
I replied munching on my chips..I went on :18.540 --> :19.540
to tell her that I was honestly losing interest
in the job due to terrible management. :19.540 --> :20.540
I explained that I wasn't even upset about
it at all anymore but just looking elsewhere. :20.540 --> :21.540
She immediately got a puzzled looked on her
face, saying my work performance was extremely :21.540 --> :22.540
impressive...(I was thinking HUH by barely
keeping a busy nights afloat by myself?..but :22.540 --> :23.540
I kept my mouth shut and just smiled) I told
her it would take a lot to get me to stay..We :23.540 --> :24.540
went over some paperwork. :24.540 --> :25.540
Leaving I figured whatever maybe it'll look good on my next resume.
:25.540 --> :26.540 So Long story short, I find out this week
I'm getting promoted to Management on another :26.540 --> :27.540
shift! :27.540 --> :28.540
I walked into work yesterday with the biggest
smile on my face..right away my Manager starring :28.540 --> :29.540
at me confused. :29.540 --> :30.540
"You stoned or somethin?"..."Oh no, no sir
I replied" I couldn't hide my smile from hitting :30.540 --> :31.540
that crescendo of a Cheshire Cat..."Whatever,
I got a meeting today so we got a lot of work :31.540 --> :32.540
to do!" he sneered whilst slamming barrels
of liquor around like Donkey Kong on a caffeine :32.540 --> :33.540
bender...Fast Forward, (middle of the day
he gets back from his meeting with the same :33.540 --> :34.540
lady I met with) he gets in his brand new
Mustang has taken the rest of the day off :34.540 --> :35.540
and just found out he took today off too. :35.540 --> :36.540
I wonder whats going on? :36.540 --> :37.540 Lmao!
:37.540 --> :38.540 :) :) :) :38.540 --> :39.540
WHY does the world work like this tho? :39.540 --> :40.540
I was actually planning on losing my job to get a better one.
:40.540 --> :41.540 I had quit caring about being formal.
:41.540 --> :42.540 Meanwhile my friend who has been extra polite,
on eggshells busting his butt for this place :42.540 --> :43.540
just found out he might get laid off..The world is an odd place indeed.
:43.540 --> :44.540 I (19m) used to work at a small smoke shop
in a rougher part of town. :44.540 --> :45.540
I wanted a part time job that didn’t require
too much physical labor because I was going :45.540 --> :46.540
through some medical problems at the time
that made it difficult for me to lift heavy :46.540 --> :47.540
loads without feeling lightheaded and nauseous. :47.540 --> :52.320
The pay wasn’t great but I felt the $10/hr
was reasonable given the amount of work that :52.320 --> :55.140
needed to be done throughout the day was minimal. :55.140 --> :00.400
All I needed to do for the most part was keep
the shop clean and sell product, which I was :00.400 --> :01.400
fine with. :01.400 --> :04.440
When I first met the owner he seemed like a genuine dude.
:04.440 --> :09.320 He cared a lot about profits like any business
owner would but the other employees there :09.320 --> :13.630
assured me that he cares about his employees and would take care of me.
:13.630 --> :15.850 So I figured alright, cool.
:15.850 --> :19.650 There were 3 other people that I worked with
there other than the boss. :19.650 --> :24.500
For simplicity’s sake I’ll call them Caden,Nancy, and Ivan (fake names).
:24.500 --> :29.120 The first week I worked was great, but when
my first payday came around and I asked how :29.120 --> :35.400
it worked, the boss told me to take $200 out of the register and leave a note.
:35.400 --> :40.830 Looking back that should’ve been red flag
#1 that something fishy was going on,but after :40.830 --> :44.280
doing the math, he wasn’t withholding tax. :44.280 --> :47.049
So I was getting paid more than I should have been.
:47.049 --> :52.020 I asked my coworkers if this was normal and
they said it was, and that he did payroll :52.020 --> :54.340
this way so that he could avoid taxes. :54.340 --> :01.150
Now a rational person would hear this and
stay as far away from this business as possible, :01.150 --> :06.460
but at the time I really enjoyed the job and
found out I was really good at selling merchandise :06.460 --> :08.520
so I decided to stay. :08.520 --> :12.549
Around a month or two in, the boss started to show his true colors.
:12.549 --> :18.710 Every time I would make a very minor mistake
(ex. accidentally putting a card transaction :18.710 --> :24.260
as cash on the register) he would talk down
to me like I was the stupidest person on the :24.260 --> :25.600
planet. :25.600 --> :30.240 and he would call me on the store phone to
do so while I had a line of customers. :30.240 --> :34.549
I also started to notice that sometimes on
payday he would tell me to take an amount :34.549 --> :37.760
from the drawer that was less then what I was supposed to get.
:37.760 --> :40.270 I would call him out on it and he would fix it.
:40.270 --> :42.680 But remember this for later in the story.
:42.680 --> :48.240 The boss would also get in really dumb arguments
with Ivan frequently and he would make it :48.240 --> :51.549
clear to the rest of us that he didn’t like Ivan whatsoever.
:51.549 --> :53.419 The boss cut his hours.
:53.419 --> :57.520 Ivan has a couple children to take care of
and didn’t tolerate this. :57.520 --> :59.240
So Ivan quit on the spot. :59.240 --> :04.080
(Which with all the stuff he had to put up
with, I didn’t blame him) but with his absence :04.080 --> :06.520
I had to pick up some of his hours. :06.520 --> :10.970
Then Nancy was getting ready to move because
her wife is in the military and just got out :10.970 --> :12.440
of basic training. :12.440 --> :16.130
So Nancy gave the boss a month’s notice before she had to leave.
:16.130 --> :18.290 And the boss did not like it.
:18.290 --> :24.500 He would take every opportunity he could to
lash out at her and even started making misogynistic
:24.500 --> :29.930 remarks like “Nancy should be the only one
to clean the bathroom because shes a woman, :29.930 --> :33.480
and women make the bathroom dirtier” (which she didn’t)
:33.480 --> :38.320 During this time the boss told Caden and I
that he didn’t want to hire anybody and :38.320 --> :42.289
that he only needs us “good employees” to keep the store running.
:42.289 --> :47.720 But after Nancy left, the schedule only consisted
of me and Caden since the boss was finishing :47.720 --> :50.280
getting his new location up and running. :50.280 --> :56.169
But Caden has another day job as an electrician
and wouldn’t be able to come in till 7pm :56.169 --> :04.200
most days which left me to open Monday-Sunday
at 9am and work until 7 or until Caden came :04.200 --> :05.200 in.
:05.200 --> :08.590 As you could imagine, I was not happy with
this arrangement. :08.590 --> :15.059
I signed up for a part time position, and
there I was working close to 70 hour weeks. :15.059 --> :18.370
With the boss calling me at least twice a day to chew me out.
:18.370 --> :22.891 I kept asking if i could take a day or two
off from the shop because working 10 hour :22.891 --> :25.980
days everyday was exhausting. :25.980 --> :30.620
Some of the regular customers were even getting
a little concerned because every time they :30.620 --> :33.649
came in, I was always the one behind the counter. :33.649 --> :39.730
but he kept giving me a sob story about how
he can’t get Caden to pull a double shift. :39.730 --> :45.980
During my shifts at this time, I was easily
earning my boss $1500-$2000 dollars in profit :45.980 --> :46.980
PER DAY. :46.980 --> :51.210
I don’t mean to toot my own horn but I feel that I’m a pretty good salesman.
:51.210 --> :55.419 But he never gave me any sort of raise in
pay whatsoever. :55.419 --> :02.610
The boss eventually decided to hire someone
else, and I do mean someone as ONE PERSON :02.610 --> :05.559
and this dude said he could only work part time. :05.559 --> :10.690
And for whatever reason the boss accepted that request but none of mine.
:10.690 --> :16.830 The final straw for me was when pay day came
one week and he only paid me $600 for a 72 :16.830 --> :17.880
hour week. :17.880 --> :22.690
I didn’t even need to do the math on that one to realize he was screwing me.
:22.690 --> :27.220 What made it worse was that that day, he gave
me a little speech about how he appreciated :27.220 --> :28.980
everything I did for him. :28.980 --> :34.600
I was fuming with anger at this point but decided to finish out my shift.
:34.600 --> :40.390 The next morning I was training the new guy
and maybe an hour after my shift started I :40.390 --> :43.090
decided I had had enough of the way my boss treated me.
:43.090 --> :48.070 I gave my store key to the new guy, and told
him that I was quitting and warned him about :48.070 --> :52.440
the boss’s behavior and how he’ll likely get treated in the future.
:52.440 --> :57.309 I made sure that the new guy knew that I had
nothing against him, but I wasn’t going :57.309 --> :02.140
to continue to work for someone who wasn’t going to pay me what he agreed too.
:02.140 --> :06.820 I walked out feeling like a huge weight had
been lifted off of my shoulders and blocked :06.820 --> :09.490
my boss on everything. :09.490 --> :14.580
obviously the new guy told the boss what happened
and he tried to call me from 5 different phone :14.580 --> :18.070
numbers throughout the week and ignored ALL of them.
:18.070 --> :22.890 I heard from Caden that he had to close his
new location for almost a week so he could :22.890 --> :26.580
work my shifts which lost him a whole lot of money.
:26.580 --> :32.410
If i had to guess, it would be close to $5000-$6000 in profit loss.
:32.410 --> :36.600 Which is a lot of money he could’ve saved
by just paying me what I was owed. :36.600 --> :39.210
But that isn’t where the story ends folks. :39.210 --> :44.740
I didn’t know it yet but I had one last
cherry too add to his crapstorm ice cream. :44.740 --> :50.539
A week or so goes by and I notice that someone
at the shop was using my spotify account. :50.539 --> :53.690
I forgot to log out of my account on the sound system for the shop.
:53.690 --> :55.340 And let me tell you… :55.340 --> :57.140
I got so excited. :57.140 --> :01.390
I had a buddy of mine go in as a customer to witness what I was about to do.
:01.390 --> :08.350 I found a playlist called “worst songs to
have sex too” filled with songs like cotten-eyed-joe
:08.350 --> :10.780 and the Barney and calliou theme songs.
:10.780 --> :16.010 And I wish i could have gone inside to see
the bosses face as he tries in vein to change :16.010 --> :17.010
the music. :17.010 --> :19.270 But my buddy’s recount will have to do.
:19.270 --> :25.000 He kept trying to change the music back but
every time he did, I had my phone ready in :25.000 --> :28.169
my hand to unleash the reading rainbow. :28.169 --> :32.080
My buddy came back to the car and we were laughing all the way home.
:32.080 --> :15.240 So moral of the story, don’t mess with your
employee’s paycheck. | give me a good story on rProRevengeBOSSMESSESWITHMYPAYCHECKRedditStoriesen |

a it for ruining my brother-in-law's reputation by telling the truth to my
friends my in-laws are currently furious with me for hurting my brother-in-law's
feelings and reputation with my friend group recently my single brother-in-law
Chris 38m has been hinting at me to introduce him to women and I've refused
Chris has been single for almost 3 years and he has been having a hard time
meeting women he tried flirting with my friend but she had been cold and
non-receptive this was my friend Grace 35f Grace is not interested in him due
to his inability to be faithful and she wasn't physically attracted to him he
tried to flirt iously engag with her during a small party my husband and I
had last Saturday my husband got a long awaited promotion so we had a little
party during the party Grace had grown frustrated with his incessant flirting
and at some point told him in no uncertain terms that she found him
physically ugly and that his physical ugliness is only surpassed by the
ugliness of his character she told him this in private and so no other guest
had heard her scathing review of his personhood Chris left the party the
following afternoon while my husband and I were nursing a wicked hangover my
in-laws to my surprise called to scold me for having abused and embarrassed
Chris after a few minutes of of us shouting back and forth on the phone I
reminded my husband that handling his family was his job so while my husband
argued with his parents I reviewed our security camera and honey Grace verbally
tore him apart Grace reminded him that he cheated and divorced his late ex-wife
Lily while she was battling cancer and that he then got dumped by the mistress
for being a cheater as he continued to cheat on her grace told him that he
wasn't a man of any significant value other than the few coins he had in the
bank and that there's no way in hell she'd entertain his delusions of sexual
Grandeur and Beauty she also said the only thing he had going for him was his
over bloated job title as an executive director to a third rate company that
will probably collapse in the next 5 years as a parting gift she told him to
consider some cosmetic work to improve his haggard appearance and perhaps to
start praying for divine intervention to fix his rotten Soul since there is no
way a psychotherapist could ever come close to fixing whatever is wrong with
him my in-laws and Chris feel that I shouldn't have told my friends what
Chris did because he's now perceived by my girlfriends as a terrible person I
told them he was unfortunately a terrible person and people would have
always found out what happened between him and the late great Lily I then
discussed what happened with my colleague Natasha she said I was cruel
for having told my friend group about what happened between Chris and his
ex-wife because Chris had grown a lot in
the past two years and didn't need to be known for the worst thing he has ever
done Natasha is dating Chris's friend so she also knows him FYI I've only
discussed Chris's treatment of Lily with
my direct friend group and it's only six people and half of them already knew as
they were also friends with Lily so it's not like I'm screaming here ye hear ye

am I the jerk for wanting for breakup with my girlfriend after her ex's
funeral so my girlfriend and I have been together for about 4 years she used to
be close friends with her ex however he tried to make a move on her while she
and I were together so she cut off their friendship they knew each other for
about 10 years they were high school sweethearts and stayed together
throughout College they broke up because he did not want kids he died recently
and my girlfriend was invited to the funeral while I wasn't happy so to speak
to see my girlfriend cry about this guy I swallowed my emotions and offered my
full support she asked me to come with her here's where things get messy she
kept talking about she wishes they never broke up in the first place and that
she's never met someone who she loved as much as him she made a speech about how
she says that if things had been different they'd be a happy family with
children I had to force myself not to say anything then now we're back home
and she hasn't said anything about what she said I'm so close to just leaving
but I just don't know if she only said that out of grief edit to be clear she
didn't say this directly to me but while talking to others update hello everyone
it's been a stressful couple of days and my post got a lot more attention than I
expected it was overwhelming to be honest it's been a week since the
funeral itself and I've been talking to some friends as well as reading comments
on my last post truth be told I've been hesitant to talk about this to my
girlfriend about because she's still been depressed she's not talking to me
at all and I've been taking care of everything around our place she's just
been laying in our bed I've tried to talk to her but she just shuts me out
I've been reflecting on our past relationship and realized a couple
things my girlfriend was never as passionate with me as she was with her
ex she never did anything as romantic or thoughtful for me when compared to her
ex for example she's never gone traveling for more than 3 days with me
but she traveled often with her ex sometimes for years it's not like I
haven't offered I was simply told to get over it and that each relationship is
different and people said [ __ ] like if
she wanted to be with her ex she would be something also to note is that some
of you actually pointed my attention to another post one that's about a girl
going to her ex's funeral I read the post and I don't know if it's actually
my girlfriend or not some details are different like our age we're both 30
also I never said anything about breaking up with her for going to the
funeral I wasn't exactly happy to see her mourn the guy who wanted to sleep
with her while she was with me but I didn't actually say anything now that
post admitted that she actually cheated I thought about this for a second but it
doesn't matter because if she cheated or not I already broke up with her I did
have a talk with her she refused to at first by not responding to me but when I
told her I was leaving she finally said something to me I basically told her
that I feel like crap ever since she said those things at the funeral how I
feel like she would rather be with her ex than me that I felt like her second
choice she started to yell at me calling me selfish and that she's lost one of
the most important people in her life and I shouldn't make this about me I was
too tired to try to yell back my things were already packed up I'm staying with
my parents for a while our lease doesn't expire for a few months so I Decay what
she's planning to do I don't know what to do now I thought I was going to marry
this girl someday and have kids but she wanted someone else all this time I
appreciate all the comments and I don't know if I'm going to post another update
but thank you | give me a good story on AmItheJERKforwantingtoBREAKUPwithmygirlfriendafterherEXsfuneralorig |
