I honestly feel bad for Enzo. I'm autistic, and have pretty bad OCD myself (it's not nearly as bad as his though). I haven't become violent when something disrupts my patterns, schedule, etc. But if buttons were continuously pressed for me, I'd scream or have a complete meltdown and cried. People like that process everything differently. It's like 5x stronger with less of a mental filter than most people. It's something that you have to have a lot of therapy for. I hope the best for that guy.
as a fellow autistic with ocd myself, hearing enzo go through that hit me in the feels. while i wouldn't be violent, i would have definitely hurled insults and a lot of yelling to make the person back off. if the office staff tells you to stay away from the introvert, stay away from them considering you don't know what they will do if you disrupt their routines especially when it comes to somebody who they have little to no familiarity with
As someone who also doesn't like being touched and having their personal space messed with, I felt second hand cringe at the part about the guy sitting on his desk and touching his head/hair. I don't think I'd give someone a thorough beating like that, but I'd probably still hit them just out of reflex if they suddenly did that to me
Yea I don’t get that either but the mandatory minimum sentence is 5 years and if the victim is under 18 and the perpetrator is not a family member the minimum sentence is 20 years in federal prison which means the least u can do is 80% so no less then 16 years so I have no idea how he only got 2. Also I think it’s crazy that he was the one that was mad when the father confronted him. If u say something like that about a guys teenager daughter and you’re able to walk out of his house u should be on your knees kissing his feet in gratitude. The fact that her father didn’t drag him out of the house by his balls is amazing but the fact that the perv actually thinks he’s the one that should be mad is absolutely insane
As soon as you got the part where the obnoxious client started patting Enzo on the head, it made my blood boil. I have friends and family with various special needs, and it infuriates me when someone deliberately messes with a person with those concerns.
If these stories, especially number 3 doesn’t convince people to stop bothering their coworkers who are just trying to get through the day, then I don’t know what will.
When I was 21, fresh out of college, I worked in an office and there was an older man who everyone loved, myself included. He was the "dad" of the office - and I spoke with his own 2 kids who were my age often. After about 6 months, he was on the phone one day with his brother. He asked me to come meet his brother and I happily agreed...until his brother asked about my looks, and they both started talking about my butt.. I was so embarrassed. This was in front of at least 4 other colleagues, and everyone was shocked. They had a whole conversation while I was just standing there about my butt. After many attempts to report (the HR rep kept leaving during our scheduled meeting) I finally went directly to the director of HR and asked to remain anonymous. I just asked that they request him to take his personal calls outside of the office due to the distraction cause I work a phone job and that they had mentioned something sexually inappropriate and it made me really uncomfortable. I wasn't even going into detail and i could tell they didn't want me to. Well, HR actually told him I asked this and he was cold to me and would tell other people he "got told on." HR sucks.
I'm sorry that happened to you. If someone is willing to behave that way in front of other employees then I would be very concerned at what they may be capable of behind closed doors. Every job always tells you to report any inappropriate sexual behavior but most times if you do, You end getting fired and the other person gets no disciplinary action against them. Or they make your work life so miserable you're forced to quit. That's so ridiculous that ppl like that are given a free pass to violate someone. You did the right thing by going to HR, they were wrong for failing to protect you.
The last story is hilarious 😂 I don’t understand why somebody would leave a bunch of acid gummy bears in the fridge at work, but I wonder if they knew that somebody was stealing & decided to mess with them. Make somebody lose their mind from tripping balls with no idea what’s going on? Ultimate payback 😂 I feel like that person saw all those shadow creatures & stuff due to the guilt of stealing everybody’s stuff. That bad trip was clearly necessary to break that cycle 😂
Im having a hard time believing it lol. I have done a lot of drugs and still do sometimes and nothing came even close to being messed up like that. Such a vivid and complex halucinations? Idk
The one about the intern and the sexual harassment horrified me. I feel bad for these women who are victims of this and aren’t believed. They have to put up with it and shut up lest they get fired or reprimanded in some other way. I’m not surprised at the way HR reacted their job is to protect the company not the employees. I wish she could’ve sued that company.
It reminds me of an argument I had on reddit once on how “sexual harassment can’t be that prevalent because it’s illegal and you can go to HR/the police.” Edit: it was the other person saying that not me.
@@donniemarquis9041 that may be what they do but that’s not what they’re supposed to do. They’re supposed to help managed the employees life cycle. If HR doesn’t take you seriously contact ur states department of labor commissioner.
@@donniemarquis9041 absolutely. don’t even bother going to HR they will do nothing. I know from experience. I wasn’t sexually harassed but I was having a problem with a couple of managers. I went to HR. Big mistake. They do nothing. It got back to the managers and it made my situation even worse.
Buddy was definitely an asshole, but purposely trying to kill him is absolutely psychotic. I'm glad he lived and changed his mindset. Is vindication worth someone's life?
Right lol, she took that insult a little too far there, maybe next time instead of running away crying, stand up for yourself and insult the guy back, honestly she should've been arrested but unfortunately there was probably no proof 😕
If I had to guess his little of cruelty combined with everyone’s sentiments towards him probably just compounded into a bad call. Sounds like at that point most people would’ve been happier with him gone anyway.
Agreed. He acknowledges he was wrong and was going through some stuff. Get that. Poisoning someone is insane. That makes the other person a psychopathic murderer… and to do it over an insult is pretty sad.
Lots going on right now.. Thank you for this mental break from my life.. Idk wtf I would do without you and other narrators. Y'all taking the time out of your life to do these videos is amazing!! So, seriously, THANK YOU for ALL you do LR..!!
story 7: jezzuz, and I thought dude in story 6 was missing his common sense. Even my 70 year old grandfather knows to stay away from strangers gummies.
For the last story, I kind of had a feeling that the candy had been laced with something, I didn't think of LSD though, I thought maybe cannabis. I guess that will teach him to not steal from people ever again.
@@gl8172 same, but once he said he looked at his hands and they looked weird I was like “ah, ok, acid gummy bears” (although god could you imagine if they wear a bag of acid laced sugar free gummy bears? A whole extra layer of horrifying)
Story 5 - Too many people find themselves trapped in a situation like this and feel like no one cares, no one understands, and no one wants to help. It happens too often. There is no easy answer. To those who are experiencing something like this, please take care of yourself first. There will always be another job, another apartment, and neither is worth suffering abuse. Do whatever you can to remove yourself from the situation; if you can't do so right away, document everything you possibly can. But, most importantly, know you are not alone and there are unfortunately so many who understand how you feel all too well. You are important, and no one can take away your worth, though many may try. You deserve to be surrounded by those who love you and support you. 💕 You are not alone.
I'd kick Gary out of my party too he's sick The guy in the 3rd story was disgusting in the way he treated people but he didn't deserve what happened to him And what happened to that intern my heart broke for her
And even if you can’t hear anything due to those headphones, you’re fucking crazy if you don’t investigate when you feel people *running* out of the building. That person had every opportunity to save themselves and somehow avoided all of them. I’m really impressed they even got out lmao
Yeah, he shouldn't have gotten them, but you mean to tell me there not even one person in that office thought to warn him? Something is wrong with those people.
Story 3 is the one that hits me the most about the college stuff and ending up with a job you're not happy with is a gut wrenching thing. Also, how the guy almost died over an insult was real crazy too. I hope that person is doing much better now.
The Enzo story terrifies me in a certain way, because I sorta relate to him. And I'm scared that I may end up doing what he did if someone ever tries to mess with me when I just want to be left alone.
“I didn’t consider myself a thief or that I was stealing” wow that guy has some nerve especially since he is wanting pity. Like Judge Judy always says, “you gotta have clean hands otherwise it’s not gonna be good for you”. Lol she is awesome
Props to the guy who laced the gummy bears with LSD; guy from story 7 was a weasel and actually deserved to be fired from his job. Hopefully he's learnt not to steal from now on
that 2nd story shows you that if you are told to leave the introvert alone, just leave them alone considering some just like to keep to themselves and do their routine without being hassled especially by somebody unknown to them
I really feel for Enzo, being someone who needs extra accommodations at times. For me, getting overstimulated can make me emotionally snap at someone, or physically hurt myself. It’s very important to respect peoples’ boundaries
Even if someone is super mean, a totally awful bully, doing something that could knowingly kill them makes you infinitely worse. Maybe Angela wasn’t a nice person, maybe she was just a quiet person
Petty revenge from butt hurt fat Angela...should just leave well enough alone...God, Universe has a way of getting back at them...just let Karma do the work. You do something in revenge, or retaliation and it will come back
Parents: Are made aware of creepo coworker's s/xual interest in their underaged daughter. Creepo: Attempts to kidnap said daughter with rope, zip ties, duct tape, and over 100 photos of her in his car. Also Parents: "We don't know what he had planned that day." For FS! That annoys me more than "I didn't think anything of it."
Relating to the one with the disgusting men in NYC: Sadly, not even the police helps most women who have to deal with men like that. When it's literally their job. Many times, they won't even believe them. I personally have been raped by my old boss and the police did not believe me, saying that I most likely wanted it. Two other girls who worked with me in his night club, who were my friends at that time, and I were all 16 at the time. He was at least 40. And he had always been disgusting at work, but one night we made the mistake of going to his friends' apartment with him and another one of his friends after he told us there was a party. Two years later I was attacked by some guy who probably tried to rob me, he hurt me a lot physically and when the police was called by people who heard me screaming (thankfully!), I fell into an hour long loop of panic attacks because I thought nobody would believe me again. For some stupid reason this incident got classified as sexual violence and not an attempted robbery, so I actually had to deal with the same police officers again. And they again failed me, even though they had found the broken glasses right were I was attacked of a previously known drug addict who has robbed people in a very similar manner before. I have no hope when it comes to the police
FightTIPS, global martial arts university, and human weapon are excellent sources on TH-cam to learn to fight. Jog regularly at the quickest, non suffocating pace. Do push ups, back exercises and curls. Athlean x is a good channel. Watch Dr Eric berg for tips on a healthy diet, as nutrition is vital for fitness. Spar at boxing gyms for experience. Then you should have the physique and skills to never experience that trauma again and cripple scumbags like them so they no longer keep hurting others. Training is actually fun when you're used to it.
@@sixkicksfightertricks949 thanks sounds good ! I'll look into it :) I'm currently looking to get into a krav maga class in my town. Wish it wasn't necessary but solemnly because I wanted to for my own enjoyment.
Story 3, I'm calling bullshit on that guy saying he felt bad and tried to apologize right before he was poisoned with the peanuts. Why would he suddenly feel bad for something he had been doing joyfully for so long. He didn't feel bad til he got almost murdered.
I am assuming because the reaction was different. I guess that's the first time someone took off running and cried while having everyone turn to look at you simultaneously with the same face of disdain. That can make you feel bad lol.
Mm, humans aren't robots. Sometimes all it takes is one scenario out of a bunch that just gives you different vibes and only then do you feel different about the situation.
They definitely need therapy (everyone does) but it’s like you didn’t listen to their explanation as to why they did that to their co workers. Completely understandable why they did that, definitely not excusable in any way though.
It is funny when he seid that he wasn't a thef but it didn't matter if he was stelling pens or snacks he was still steiling from other people so he is a thef
The lady in the first story needed to woman up and tell that dude off. Such a disappointment. Story 3: Dude's weakness is peanuts and he legit thought he could pull off being a bully 🤣🤣🤣.
In the office story with the sexually inappropriate boss, I don't get why the police said they couldn't do anything about the sexually explicit emails/texts. They absolutely can. That is in descent exposure and a form of sexual assault and they can and should have been arrested and charged for that.
Just got home after working night shift, 10 1/2 hours is a long time to be on your feet--It is so refreshing to see that you delivered a new video. I'm going to get into my comfy jammies, have a little dinner, snuggle up with my kitties & enjoy, Lets Read! Thank you so much!
Joel I’ve been grieving over my cousin dying but today I’m a little happy because my wife hit the 9 month pregnancy mark so in 30 days my daughter will be born. I also want to thank not only you Joel but the entire buttersock cult they are amazing and very supportive.
Congratulations on your new little who's about to be born into this word and my heart breaks for the loss of your cousin. I have a cousin who's like a brother to me that I'm hoping I go before him because I really don't know how I'll get through it. 💔
story 6: Dude, no one is to blame for you almost burning up but you. You chose to isolate yourself. You chose the noise cancelling headphones. you chose to even put up a "little door". You chose to ignore the vibrations of everyone running to safety. You actually thought they were running to lunch? come on, man. Nobody is that out of touch with reality.
I'm actually not allowed to wear headphones at my job for reasons like this. Though I do have to wonder what country this is where the building doesn't have fire alarms. Usually those come with flashing lights so deaf people are also aware of any emergencies.
@@hayasheeeesh I hate fire alarms, I once got a brain injury similar to a concussion from a fire drill (I know, crazy but it can happen) and spent a week in the hospital but they are necessary for the actual fires I guess.
@Josie Gipson why are you blaming him? he suspected nothing of the sorts that something was wrong, so of course he didn't leave because he didn't suspect he was in danger, nor was he ever made aware of things he should be concerned or wary about anything like that. Of course, blaming those other people is not okay, cause obviously it wasn't their fault because they didn't know he was there, but it of course makes sense why he felt like blaming them because he went through such a traumatic experience that, literally, nearly killed him and left him with serious physical, emotional, and psychological pain and damage and trauma, perhaps for the rest of his life, and because of that he must've felt betrayed and left behind. Just because he chose to stay doesn't mean he deserved to have an extremely traumatic experience, nor does it make it okay for you to shame him for not leaving because he didn't know his life would be in danger. For you to blame him completely invalidates and reduces his traumatic experience. I don't disagree with you saying that the other people aren't to blame (which, as he says, is able to come to terms is not their fault after healing) but to blame him is unacceptable because it completely ignores and minimizes his extremely traumatic experience. Please have some empathy.
While I think the coworkers needed to check (their fault) and the guy shouldn't have gotten the headphones (his fault), I think he was supposed to go through that experience. Otherwise we'd hear a story of miraculous survival or not hear about it at all. Though he did survive a terrible burn and that's amazing.
The fact that the woman from HR was no help makes my blood boil! You are supposed to help employees that are victims of horrible treatment. To just dismiss their claims and tell them that there's nothing they can do to help them really makes me question the whole purpose of HR. Most of the time HR is really just there to protect the company. It's horrible! 😡
Being rude to someone doesn't and never will justify a retaliation of poisoning. I lost ALL my feelings of sympathy for the people OP bullied the second they tried to poison them. Also, using an allergen against someone to try to hurt them is illegal. Just an FYI.
I'm a pretty heavy set woman myself so I felt disgusted when OP said that to the woman but I felt even more disgusted that she attempted to harm or even kill him. A rude comment isn't worth ending a life.
Mark had it coming 🤷♀️ Also in story 3.....yeah the guy was an absolute asshole but trying to kill someone over an insult is insane. Ironic how the "kind" Angela had it in her to kill someone. And to those who say the stories are comparable they're really not. One involves a man with a well known mental illness who acted very inappropriately in the moment while the other involved deliberate premeditated planning. What Enzo did was not okay but I don't have sympathy for Mark in that regard.
@@glauvie She still had it in her to kill someone. She literally would have let him die and she did not show any care like she felt bad after. She flat out planned a murder that day.
@@glauvie So it's okay that she *tried* to kill someone....because they didn't die. Got it. Better throw out attempted murder as something to charge people with then.
“Mark had it coming” even though he almost died, and yet the guy in Story 3 didn’t deserve to almost die? Not saying you’re wrong, but 2nd story is presented from a neutral 3rd party observer who knew Enzo very well, while 3rd story is presented from the victim’s perspective. And also, I don’t think it was *just* the one insult to Angela that did him in. It was likely months of insults and harassment to her and others that the guy just left out.
Yeah story number three is how I feel right now. They lied to me about college. I spent a long time going to it and I graduated with a bachelors degree. Now, I can't find a job in my area.
Story 3: So putting peanuts in his food knowing he is deathly allergic is a horrible thing to do right because she definitely could’ve killed him BUT HEAR ME OUT… Imagine when he started having the allergic reaction if Angela walked up and was like “do you really need to be eating that?” 😈… NOW THAT WOULD’VE BEEN A SERVE
Thank you for another amazing video, I definitely appreciate the effort and hard work you put into your videos. Anyways, I hope you’re having a great evening and staying safe. 🙏🏻
Idk what time period that new York story happened but if it was recent she should've took to social media. Started posting emails gatherering stories got copies of complaints and just let everyone have a field day lol. The last story kinda made me laugh ngl.
Peanut guy, I bet whomever put the peanuts in his food, probably thought he’d see them & not eat them!! If the perpetrator wanted to kill him, they could have put peanut oil or something like that in the food. Also, he should carry his own epi pen. I do!
Can we all just agree that Gary didn’t get enough jail time, that client got what was coming to him from Enzo, the bully dude pretty much same story since even the other coworkers never told on Angela (imagine how bad/horrible he must have been to all of them for them to not care about him almost dying!!) and janitor guy got what he deserved as well for stealing especially since that amount of LSD probably cost a lot… am I missing anything?
I liked all these scary office stories! Mark should have left Enzo alone. I'm glad the daughter's life was saved in the first story and that the guy made it out of the burning building in time in the sixth story! I knew it was Angelo who made the guy have an allergic reaction and that the guy was allergic to peanuts in the third story! People shouldn't be mean. They should treat each other with respect. At least, the guy in the last story learned his lesson.
For the story about the “office bully”, his company probably fired him because he was becoming a major liability to them, to the point where his constant mistreatment of others led to his coworker plotting to kill/harm him. I’m thinking the reason he wasn’t fired earlier is because it hadn’t escalated to the point it had now. His bosses were most likely afraid of a lawsuit or a criminal investigation taking place all due to his childish antics and a vengeful woman. That would ruin their reputation and cost them money and no matter how good he was at his job, they weren’t ready to sacrifice that much for one bad employee. I’m not justifying the intentional tampering with his food any more than I agree with his behavior. People sometimes annoy me too but if I’m at my job, I focus solely on my work, not making friends and definitely not making enemies.
This is why I'd never wear noise canceling headphones or even headphones in any situation or environment where I need to be aware of what's going on around me. Not even on a walk around my local lake.

@@gl8172 same, but once he said he looked at his hands and they looked weird I was like “ah, ok, acid gummy bears” (although god could you imagine if they wear a bag of acid laced sugar free gummy bears? A whole extra layer of horrifying)
@@gl8172 why do suger free gummy bears give you diarrhoea
Story 5 - Too many people find themselves trapped in a situation like this and feel like no one cares, no one understands, and no one wants to help. It happens too often. There is no easy answer. To those who are experiencing something like this, please take care of yourself first. There will always be another job, another apartment, and neither is worth suffering abuse. Do whatever you can to remove yourself from the situation; if you can't do so right away, document everything you possibly can.
But, most importantly, know you are not alone and there are unfortunately so many who understand how you feel all too well. You are important, and no one can take away your worth, though many may try. You deserve to be surrounded by those who love you and support you. 💕 You are not alone.
Right on time, don't act surprised guys, Joel is always on time with the hits.
Always
Joel has the boom boom, Joel has the bass bass.
@@beeztrapp1612 Joel got dat superbass
I'd kick Gary out of my party too he's sick The guy in the 3rd story was disgusting in the way he treated people but he didn't deserve what happened to him And what happened to that intern my heart broke for her
Gary should have never been invited at all, stupid decision by the OP!
@@definitelynotchristianslater ikr
3rd story deserved it 100%, he was a scumbag.
@@definitelynotchristianslater right. Honestly she shouldn’t have been having lunch and drinks w another man while married in the first place lol
@@ella-px9ulit Isn't strange having the other gender as close friends, not everyone gets jealous because of stuff like that.
Bro that third story was wild. Like I get that the person op bullied wanted “payback” or whatever but that’s straight up attempted murder… 🧍🏾♀️
Nobody told the guy in story 6 to get noise cancelling headphones. Situational awareness is important, even in places where you assume you're safe.
This!
idk if I’m just paranoid but I can’t have both headphones in and if they are they’re low
Yes! As soon as they mentioned noise cancelling headphones I said out loud "uh oh, won't end well". Gotta know what's happening around you
My thoughts exactly,especially if you are in a unfamiliar country.
And even if you can’t hear anything due to those headphones, you’re fucking crazy if you don’t investigate when you feel people *running* out of the building. That person had every opportunity to save themselves and somehow avoided all of them. I’m really impressed they even got out lmao
Yeah, he shouldn't have gotten them, but you mean to tell me there not even one person in that office thought to warn him? Something is wrong with those people.
Story 3 is the one that hits me the most about the college stuff and ending up with a job you're not happy with is a gut wrenching thing. Also, how the guy almost died over an insult was real crazy too. I hope that person is doing much better now.
yeah i get bullying is horrible but like? trying to kill someone?
@@Iuxinterior Wake up call to mind your own business right?
The Enzo story terrifies me in a certain way, because I sorta relate to him. And I'm scared that I may end up doing what he did if someone ever tries to mess with me when I just want to be left alone.
Same. I'm confrontational so I get it.
same
“I didn’t consider myself a thief or that I was stealing” wow that guy has some nerve especially since he is wanting pity.
Like Judge Judy always says, “you gotta have clean hands otherwise it’s not gonna be good for you”. Lol she is awesome
Props to the guy who laced the gummy bears with LSD; guy from story 7 was a weasel and actually deserved to be fired from his job. Hopefully he's learnt not to steal from now on
Yes yes yes 👏👏👏👏
Although damn what a waste of acid gummy bears, pretty expensive for revenge/a lesson cx
@@katcel16 yeah, but I’d say it’s 100% money well-spent
bro in the last story was like "these gummy bears aren't shi-"
I've od'ed on psychedelic edibles before. Started questioning every decision id ever made in life. Not fun. I knew what I was getting into though 😎
You're stories are one of the highlights of the week Joel. Even more than sleeping in on Saturdays
You are stories?
And that includes Saturday morning cartoons!
that 2nd story shows you that if you are told to leave the introvert alone, just leave them alone considering some just like to keep to themselves and do their routine without being hassled especially by somebody unknown to them
I really feel for Enzo, being someone who needs extra accommodations at times. For me, getting overstimulated can make me emotionally snap at someone, or physically hurt myself. It’s very important to respect peoples’ boundaries
Even if someone is super mean, a totally awful bully, doing something that could knowingly kill them makes you infinitely worse. Maybe Angela wasn’t a nice person, maybe she was just a quiet person
It is a popular saying to “watch out for the quiet ones”
@@OrangeMilanoCookie that doesn't give them an excuse to try and kill someone.
@@shannon1571 literally no one said it was
She was nice up until a point. A victim of bullying can only take so much before they commit suicide or bring a gun to school.
Petty revenge from butt hurt fat Angela...should just leave well enough alone...God, Universe has a way of getting back at them...just let Karma do the work.
You do something in revenge, or retaliation and it will come back
As a stoner, the LSD story is kinda funny cuz many stoners have been there lol, definitely someone set him a trap.
Definitly saving this to watch later once I finish my own vid. Joel never disappoints!
"Just taking things nobody would miss, like snacks" this dude needs a flogging
Parents: Are made aware of creepo coworker's s/xual interest in their underaged daughter.
Creepo: Attempts to kidnap said daughter with rope, zip ties, duct tape, and over 100 photos of her in his car.
Also Parents: "We don't know what he had planned that day."
For FS! That annoys me more than "I didn't think anything of it."
Relating to the one with the disgusting men in NYC: Sadly, not even the police helps most women who have to deal with men like that. When it's literally their job. Many times, they won't even believe them.
I personally have been raped by my old boss and the police did not believe me, saying that I most likely wanted it. Two other girls who worked with me in his night club, who were my friends at that time, and I were all 16 at the time. He was at least 40. And he had always been disgusting at work, but one night we made the mistake of going to his friends' apartment with him and another one of his friends after he told us there was a party.
Two years later I was attacked by some guy who probably tried to rob me, he hurt me a lot physically and when the police was called by people who heard me screaming (thankfully!), I fell into an hour long loop of panic attacks because I thought nobody would believe me again. For some stupid reason this incident got classified as sexual violence and not an attempted robbery, so I actually had to deal with the same police officers again. And they again failed me, even though they had found the broken glasses right were I was attacked of a previously known drug addict who has robbed people in a very similar manner before. I have no hope when it comes to the police
FightTIPS, global martial arts university, and human weapon are excellent sources on TH-cam to learn to fight. Jog regularly at the quickest, non suffocating pace. Do push ups, back exercises and curls. Athlean x is a good channel. Watch Dr Eric berg for tips on a healthy diet, as nutrition is vital for fitness. Spar at boxing gyms for experience. Then you should have the physique and skills to never experience that trauma again and cripple scumbags like them so they no longer keep hurting others. Training is actually fun when you're used to it.
@@sixkicksfightertricks949 thanks sounds good ! I'll look into it :) I'm currently looking to get into a krav maga class in my town. Wish it wasn't necessary but solemnly because I wanted to for my own enjoyment.
the police are not your friends. all they care about is their own bodies and protecting the wealthy white people.
Story 3, I'm calling bullshit on that guy saying he felt bad and tried to apologize right before he was poisoned with the peanuts. Why would he suddenly feel bad for something he had been doing joyfully for so long. He didn't feel bad til he got almost murdered.
I was thinking the same..... he's a narcissist!
I am assuming because the reaction was different. I guess that's the first time someone took off running and cried while having everyone turn to look at you simultaneously with the same face of disdain. That can make you feel bad lol.
The stories told by the creep/d-bag always minimizes what they do. But the truth about them always shines through.
Mm, humans aren't robots. Sometimes all it takes is one scenario out of a bunch that just gives you different vibes and only then do you feel different about the situation.
The person in the 3rd story sounds like they need a therapist 😐 Too old to be bullying your co-workers.
They definitely need therapy (everyone does) but it’s like you didn’t listen to their explanation as to why they did that to their co workers. Completely understandable why they did that, definitely not excusable in any way though.
Story 7 is sure painstakingly detailed for a drug induced bout of hallucinations.
It is funny when he seid that he wasn't a thef but it didn't matter if he was stelling pens or snacks he was still steiling from other people so he is a thef
The lady in the first story needed to woman up and tell that dude off. Such a disappointment.
Story 3: Dude's weakness is peanuts and he legit thought he could pull off being a bully 🤣🤣🤣.
In the office story with the sexually inappropriate boss, I don't get why the police said they couldn't do anything about the sexually explicit emails/texts. They absolutely can. That is in descent exposure and a form of sexual assault and they can and should have been arrested and charged for that.
Just got home after working night shift, 10 1/2 hours is a long time to be on your feet--It is so refreshing to see that you delivered a new video. I'm going to get into my comfy jammies, have a little dinner, snuggle up with my kitties & enjoy, Lets Read! Thank you so much!
Joel I’ve been grieving over my cousin dying but today I’m a little happy because my wife hit the 9 month pregnancy mark so in 30 days my daughter will be born. I also want to thank not only you Joel but the entire buttersock cult they are amazing and very supportive.
Congratulations sir daughter is wonderful I have three of my own I don’t wanna live without them
✔️ ✔️ overshare (also medical)
Im so sorry for your loss
Congratulations on your new little who's about to be born into this word and my heart breaks for the loss of your cousin. I have a cousin who's like a brother to me that I'm hoping I go before him because I really don't know how I'll get through it. 💔
You should do one on scary bosses! I have several of those stories.
story 6: Dude, no one is to blame for you almost burning up but you. You chose to isolate yourself. You chose the noise cancelling headphones. you chose to even put up a "little door". You chose to ignore the vibrations of everyone running to safety. You actually thought they were running to lunch? come on, man. Nobody is that out of touch with reality.
I'm actually not allowed to wear headphones at my job for reasons like this.
Though I do have to wonder what country this is where the building doesn't have fire alarms. Usually those come with flashing lights so deaf people are also aware of any emergencies.
@@hayasheeeesh I hate fire alarms, I once got a brain injury similar to a concussion from a fire drill (I know, crazy but it can happen) and spent a week in the hospital but they are necessary for the actual fires I guess.
@@c.w.8200 How did that happen?
@Josie Gipson why are you blaming him? he suspected nothing of the sorts that something was wrong, so of course he didn't leave because he didn't suspect he was in danger, nor was he ever made aware of things he should be concerned or wary about anything like that. Of course, blaming those other people is not okay, cause obviously it wasn't their fault because they didn't know he was there, but it of course makes sense why he felt like blaming them because he went through such a traumatic experience that, literally, nearly killed him and left him with serious physical, emotional, and psychological pain and damage and trauma, perhaps for the rest of his life, and because of that he must've felt betrayed and left behind. Just because he chose to stay doesn't mean he deserved to have an extremely traumatic experience, nor does it make it okay for you to shame him for not leaving because he didn't know his life would be in danger. For you to blame him completely invalidates and reduces his traumatic experience. I don't disagree with you saying that the other people aren't to blame (which, as he says, is able to come to terms is not their fault after healing) but to blame him is unacceptable because it completely ignores and minimizes his extremely traumatic experience. Please have some empathy.
While I think the coworkers needed to check (their fault) and the guy shouldn't have gotten the headphones (his fault), I think he was supposed to go through that experience. Otherwise we'd hear a story of miraculous survival or not hear about it at all. Though he did survive a terrible burn and that's amazing.
The fact that the woman from HR was no help makes my blood boil! You are supposed to help employees that are victims of horrible treatment. To just dismiss their claims and tell them that there's nothing they can do to help them really makes me question the whole purpose of HR. Most of the time HR is really just there to protect the company. It's horrible! 😡
That third story is wild. I get he was a jerk but trying to kill someone is not the solution.
The last story😱😱😱😱 but they were all pretty crazy scary.
The Buddy / Angela story is a prime example of what can happen when a sociopath ( Buddy ) butts heads with a psychopath ( Angela ).
words of a true sewer worker
If HR doesn’t listen to you contact ur states Department of Labor Commissioner!!!!
Please also make sure to gather evidence!
Being rude to someone doesn't and never will justify a retaliation of poisoning. I lost ALL my feelings of sympathy for the people OP bullied the second they tried to poison them. Also, using an allergen against someone to try to hurt them is illegal. Just an FYI.
So is harassment.
I’ll poison someone in a heartbeat.
I'm a pretty heavy set woman myself so I felt disgusted when OP said that to the woman but I felt even more disgusted that she attempted to harm or even kill him. A rude comment isn't worth ending a life.
Nah, you teach people how to treat you 💁🏼♀️
I bet that simple minded bullet learned his lesson though huh. Everybody has a breaking point.
Mark had it coming 🤷♀️
Also in story 3.....yeah the guy was an absolute asshole but trying to kill someone over an insult is insane. Ironic how the "kind" Angela had it in her to kill someone.
And to those who say the stories are comparable they're really not. One involves a man with a well known mental illness who acted very inappropriately in the moment while the other involved deliberate premeditated planning. What Enzo did was not okay but I don't have sympathy for Mark in that regard.
He did not die.
@@glauvie
She still had it in her to kill someone. She literally would have let him die and she did not show any care like she felt bad after. She flat out planned a murder that day.
@@Paddy-if3nd Yeah she did, she even took his epipen out of his desk, what a nut job 😬
@@glauvie So it's okay that she *tried* to kill someone....because they didn't die.
Got it. Better throw out attempted murder as something to charge people with then.
“Mark had it coming” even though he almost died, and yet the guy in Story 3 didn’t deserve to almost die? Not saying you’re wrong, but 2nd story is presented from a neutral 3rd party observer who knew Enzo very well, while 3rd story is presented from the victim’s perspective. And also, I don’t think it was *just* the one insult to Angela that did him in. It was likely months of insults and harassment to her and others that the guy just left out.
I love too listen to you reading all the story’s. I hope you keep reading for us for many years to come.
Yeah story number three is how I feel right now. They lied to me about college. I spent a long time going to it and I graduated with a bachelors degree. Now, I can't find a job in my area.
What's your major? Minor?
Don't lose hope....keep networking with people and keep looking! Best of wishes!

was just about to get on youtube and listen to these and you posted a new one, thank you
Forever grateful for the insane amount of content you put out for us 🖤

Yes, I love this type of story! Something many can relate. The ol' 9 to 5. Thank you, my friend
❤❤ I so can stay up all night and listen to your podcasts ❤❤ Thanks as I never would have thought I would prefer listening to you over watching TV!
The Angela story had me visualizing a whole ass The Office episode. Phyllis vs Dwight lmao!!
Sweet dreams everyone and, as always, thank you Joel
Thank you for keeping me company, since none of my co workers are here at the office anyway.
Watching your videos is my favorite part of the night! Thank you so much for everything you do 💖
We need some “second half only” vids so we can hear the ones we all missed while sleeping! Plz!!!!???
These stories were amazing and that last one was funny
Joel you are the man. Love the stories you tell. Love ya brother keep up the good work
Thank you for another amazing video, I definitely appreciate the effort and hard work you put into your videos. Anyways, I hope you’re having a great evening and staying safe. 🙏🏻
Office stories! What a great idea. Love these stories. Quite different than Michael Scott and Dwight Schrute. Lol 😂
Let’s go!! Always love your narrations!!
Idk what time period that new York story happened but if it was recent she should've took to social media. Started posting emails gatherering stories got copies of complaints and just let everyone have a field day lol. The last story kinda made me laugh ngl.
Must be late 90s or early 2000s is what I'm guessing.
Oof right as I said I need stories let’s see if it’s 7 and BAM
Peanut guy, I bet whomever put the peanuts in his food, probably thought he’d see them & not eat them!! If the perpetrator wanted to kill him, they could have put peanut oil or something like that in the food. Also, he should carry his own epi pen. I do!
bro ate a whole bag of edibles he’s insane 😭😭
The way you said data at the end 😆
Joel Never disappoints us with these Hits👍
I'm on time! Yes!
Just getting ready to go to bed, and this video pops up! Never been so early! Thanks for the videos as usual, great to listen to :)
Thank you honey such creepy stories You are a wonderful narrator God bless you and your family
The last story had me in tears 🤣
The way Joel said data for me rolling 😂😂😂😂
Last story i laughed the entire time. Karma
The person in story 5 cracked me up with deciding on NYC over Seattle apparently based on weather when NYC annually gets more rain than Seattle does.
Great video to watch on my first day at my new office job 😀 👍
That dude allergic to peanuts 😂 ALWAYS treat people how you wanna be treated
Thank you Let's Read ❤️💋📖🕯️
Love the video ready 💙💙 offices are boring, stressful and challenging
Can we all just agree that Gary didn’t get enough jail time, that client got what was coming to him from Enzo, the bully dude pretty much same story since even the other coworkers never told on Angela (imagine how bad/horrible he must have been to all of them for them to not care about him almost dying!!) and janitor guy got what he deserved as well for stealing especially since that amount of LSD probably cost a lot… am I missing anything?
that peanut story was crazy. wasnt expecting that. what goes around comes around i guess.
I 100% empathize with the person in story #3. Besides taxes, college is the greatest scam on Earth
In the office listening to you right now waiting for these calls
What Up Joe, I always listen, I'm just the quiet listener!😁
I liked all these scary office stories! Mark should have left Enzo alone. I'm glad the daughter's life was saved in the first story and that the guy made it out of the burning building in time in the sixth story! I knew it was Angelo who made the guy have an allergic reaction and that the guy was allergic to peanuts in the third story!
People shouldn't be mean. They should treat each other with respect.
At least, the guy in the last story learned his lesson.
Just respect people's space. Idk why it's so difficult for some people. 🤷🏻♀️
@@maevependragon Yeah. Also, I like your bangs in your profile pic!
@@mojo3318 Thanks! I like the pinup-goth look!
@@maevependragon You're welcome.
For the story about the “office bully”, his company probably fired him because he was becoming a major liability to them, to the point where his constant mistreatment of others led to his coworker plotting to kill/harm him. I’m thinking the reason he wasn’t fired earlier is because it hadn’t escalated to the point it had now. His bosses were most likely afraid of a lawsuit or a criminal investigation taking place all due to his childish antics and a vengeful woman. That would ruin their reputation and cost them money and no matter how good he was at his job, they weren’t ready to sacrifice that much for one bad employee. I’m not justifying the intentional tampering with his food any more than I agree with his behavior. People sometimes annoy me too but if I’m at my job, I focus solely on my work, not making friends and definitely not making enemies.
me listening to this in my office working the night shift ✨
This is why I'd never wear noise canceling headphones or even headphones in any situation or environment where I need to be aware of what's going on around me. Not even on a walk around my local lake.
