They were renters and had no skin in the game. They didn’t care and felt entitled. It’s stories like these that make me understand landlords a lot better.
True and yet this happens again and again in the Reddit stories. Neighbors claiming they have some sort of lifetime permission based on reported conversations with the prior owners. 😆😆
I doubt the past owners allowed it or had a deal with them. They just saw that the house was vacant and most of the time there was no one around to stop them doing as they pleased. It’s no coincidence that they showed up to use the pool _after_ OP left the house. The neighbors probably thought they’d be gone through the night, or at least several hours.
I also think $100k for material and labor on a second unit has to be very lowball. (Depending how large the second unit was and if it contained a kitchen.)
@@condorboss3339 we redid our kitchen for $5k. $1k of that was the dishwasher, so the unit having a kitchen is not really much more of an expense than a regular room. you could build a small 'unit' style kitchen for under $1k
right, it's like, you parked somewhere I didn't want you to and it inconveniences me, I'm going to call the city and tell them you're building without a permit.
omg, the parking one hit so close to home. I used to live in a townhouse, and each house in the development had two assigned parking spaces. The neighbors had two teenage daughters, so every time I'd come home from work or being out, both my spaces would be taken by cars. I'd go next door and knock, but the mom would pretend that she had no idea whose cars they were. So one day I got on my cell phone, walked into the front yard, and pretended to call the towing company (it was spring, so everyone's windows were open). Within seconds, two kids ran out to move their cars. But they kept doing it, so the next time I called the towing company for real from inside the house. When the truck got there, two kids bolted out the neighbors door, and at least one of them had to pay to have the car unhooked. That's what finally stopped the annoyance.
to be honest, after the first time asking someone to move their car from my space, i'd just call the tow truck. entitled people like that won't stop until there are consequences.
Story 3: This sort of behavior should've been left at Middle/Secondary School. It's one of the most childish things anyone could ever do. Even for children, this is embarrassing. Like, the fact that he only bullied people because there was an audience really shows what sort of person he is.
Agreed. When OP said something like 'he doesn't know when to stop!' I yelled at the computer. This guy totally knows where the 'stop line' is. The fact that he changes his behaviour to go past it clearly shows he knows exactly what he is doing. Unfortunately for OP what he was doing was bullying the people around him in, as you noted, a completely childish and juvenile way. OP is well rid of him.
First Story: How the hell does the neighbor have 9 cars parked in the street? Why the hell do they have 9 cars?! The fact they have these cars just to hog parking spaces is messed up. Costing someone $100k is suppose to be petty revenge!? Second Story: Wow, this guy is a total douche for what he did to OP. Lmaoo I would’ve done the same thing to a person like this. This guy brought this to himself. Good luck on constantly paying those attorney fees Third Story: Chris sounds like the type of person people try to avoid at all cost. There is no way this man is 30 years old and acts like the way he acts. All OP did here was tell the truth but this petty revenge was delicious Fourth Story: The typical signs of envy. OP’s manager was just jealous. Good on OP for screwing her over Fifth Story: All they had to do was stick to the original agreement. Instead they decide to do the same thing over and over; and then they decide to break into OP’s property to use their pool
I think it's the nature of the Revenge. A Pro-revenge in this context of the OP having to gather evidence of the event. He basically just gave an anonymous tip here
Every Chris, Chrisy, Christian, Christine, and Other Chris-derived-named person that I have met has been a terrible person… It’s also the only name that I know of that started off as a slur, so…
@@dandelion_fritters I knew a guy named Chris who named every one of his kids with a variation on "Chris" -- Christian, Christopher, Cristy, Krystal, even Chrysalis. The kids were just little but the dad was, indeed, a terrible person who won my trust then betrayed me online.
I suppose the first story is petty mainly because of how easy it was for OP there to do. The story about the power tripping manager trying to make OP clean the floor with a toothbrush makes me think of a saying my dad taught me: “Beware the toes you step on today, they may be connected to the butt you have to kiss tomorrow”
Story 1. Pro tip. If the City forces a non-permitted structure to be removed, it is not out of pettiness. Existing structures are legalzed all the time... however if the structure does not adhere to City Bylaws and Building Code, (even with alteration considerations that could bring it up to code), that means it's either grossly unsafe or very, very far outside of any variance approvals, (ex. Height). Basically this homeowner likely built a structure that the City in good conscience could not allow anyone to dwell in today and 10-20 years in the future. The world is full of Karen's and Kevin's and they build a lot of death traps.
i think with the first story, its only petty revenge because they really didnt do much to cost the $100,000 -- just sent in a report for illegal activity.
To build on your argument, it’s not really “revenge,” per se-anyone could have made that call as a concerned citizen. The parking BS was just to establish the kind of people these crazies are, and establish the fact that this penalty was deserved by them for all the other BS they’ve caused.
This is what I love about being subscribed to several of these channels. I’ve heard these all before, but, it always feels fresh healing them too by the different folks and the different reactions to the stories from each TH-camr. 😊
Agree. And yet there's always some idiot complaining "Oh ugh, some other channel already did this story two weeks ago, do better ugh" and it's like, dude shut it. Different perspectives can be useful, enlightening, even fun. I guess anywhere there's fun, there's Debbie Downer.
I wouldn't even call the first story revenge. They can afford to buy multiple extra cars and build an entire EDU just because they feel like it, but they don't bother with the most basic of safety red tape? OP cared more about their safety than they did.
Story 1: I think its in petty revenge not because of the money amount but the 'blink and forget about it' phone call that caused a structure to be torn down. They still have the 9 cars in the road, but they might have to sell one cause of fines that no one got the details on on top of the 100k.
IANAL, but if the homeowner in the final story wants to get further revenge, they can place a lien on their neighbor’s house for the $3,800. Until the debt is paid, the house would be unable to be rented.
Story 1: Op has a neighbor with 9 cars. Most of which they use solely to save parking spots for the main ones. I'm sure he lives in a rather wealthy neighborhood where 100k dollars wouldn't be a big loss. But then again it could be a bad neighborhood or something.
I'll never get over the fact that rslash keeps confusing the subreddit's "pettyrevenge, prorevenge, and nuclearrevege. It's not about the damages or costs from said revenge, it's the revenge itself. So the first story was petty because he called the city inspectors over cars parked on the street too long. That's pretty petty, wether the revenge cost 1000-100000 it's the same because the revenge was out of pettiness.
First off, are you a mod on those subs? Or do you know one personally? Lol. Because I think there’s a lot more that goes into the hierarchy of the revenges than what you’re implying. I’d say somewhere in the middle of the “cause” vs the “effect” (why the revenge happened vs the aftermath, which is the $100k price tag in this case). Secondly, the $100k was caused because the OP called the city inspectors over the unit in their backyard, which is only connected to the parking issue tangentially, as it provides background as to how they could be that stupid. But even without the car parking issue, I’d hope that OP would still call about the illegally built building, and cost them $100k regardless.
Petty - minor inconvenience, irritates the target. Pro - massive legal or financial consequences, op completely legal. Nuclear - op commits a crime. Those are my definitions. Pro often needs nothing other than a 5 minute call.
3rd: These are the stories that make me realize what I became after years of bullying. I used to be bullied until the point my tongue became sooo sharp. I literally started stab people in the gut with words. Don't push anyone beyond that line. They might snap and hurt you badly.
story 3 and 4 should be lesson to everyone by be careful who you mistreat at work cause one day it is going bite you in the ass by months or years later and both OP got their payback
How the hell did they not get arrested? Isn’t cutting a hole in someone fence and going into their backyard, vandalism, destruction of property, and trespassing?
For the first story, I still think it counts as petty. Despite the high cost, the imposition on OP was just an annoyance, and, even more importantly, the amount of effort OP had to put in to exacting revenge was almost nil. Those both balance out the sum of money. I think the monetary damage needed to pass the Pro Revenge threshold for this scenario is somewhere between 500K and 1M.
god the dude in that story is so dumb! everything that is going wrong in his life right now is because he's being lazy and won't do what needs to be done.
Story 1: deffo Pro Revenge Story 2: is the lawyer somehow unaware of the laws regarding overseas divorces, or just can't be bothered to read up on them? Surely a .de email address should raise at least one eyebrow. Story 3: "Chris" seems to have stopped maturing at 15. Story 4: this is something that seems to happen so often that people should be aware of it by now, although I do get that the original incident was 7 years prior. Story 5: this story could also be filed under Entitled People. OP was too kind the 2nd time with the cars. The neighbours need to learn that if you keep banging your head on a wall that your head won't stop hurting each successive time. As for the pool, I wouldn't have even confronted them, just rang the police straight off.
story 2: the lawyer gets paid for every email, why would they do something to stop that payment when their client is the idiot who won't do what needs to be done?
I have a similar story to the bad manager one. A while back I committed an armed robbery, so that's on my record for life now. About 15 years ago I was applying for a job as a help desk technician for a telecom provider. Now, it's illegal to discriminate based on criminal history unless the offense substantially relates to the job in question. Such as a pedophile being ineligible to work as a school teacher. Since I robbed a store, that in no way relates to help desk support. But anyway the guy doing the interview apparently didn't read the application much, because he didn't see the felony disclosure until we were in the middle of the interview. He immediately closed the folder and said "Well we don't hire felons here, you can see yourself out." When I told him that his decision was literally against federal law, he smirked and said "Well we have a legal team and you're unemployed. Have fun with that." Anyway a few years later I'd clawed myself out of the hole, and had a respectable career working for a defense contractor as a business analyst. One of my side duties was to come in on new hire trainings and help walk people through how the proprietary database works. And on one such day, guess who I saw sitting in that new hire training? A-yup, Mr. 'Have Fun With That' himself. He got white as a sheet and at one point straight up asked me if we were going to have a problem, and I just said "Here, we follow the law. As long as you can manage that, you'll be fine." He was fired six months later for literally forging someone's signature. And he claimed it was OK because it was just to save time. Like, he knew the guy would've signed the contract if he sent it, so he just signed it for him to save time. And no amount of anything could get through to this guy that what he did was literal forgery. Some people are just unemployably stupid.
For the last story, if the neighbors own you money for a court judgement, put a lien on their house. They’ll have a fun time renting with that in place.
Bro- The co-worker bullying OP in the 3rd story is like acting an 8th grade bullying. Goes to show that middle school may end at 13-14 but middle school behavior never ends💀
When I was in middle school I was bullied once, because my dad would make sure it didn't happen again, don't get mad, get even and even I got, I have my phone with a tracker on it, in case it got lost or stolen when my bully stole it he took it home and I got the pleasure of him returning it with his dad, IN HIS POLICE UNIFORM, his dad was a cop and he said he'll make sure this doesn't happen again, just please don't press charges, I did, and he never bullied me again
With that last story, I would have just had the gate installer install the gate with the cars inside. When they freaked out about it, just say "Hey! I told you to move them! I'm thinking of selling them. How much you think I can get? Actually, now that you're here, how much did you pay for them?! Will give me a good idea what I can get for them!"
I don't really think that's disrespectful, it however could be a good gesture to show you care to make the effort to learn their language. I think I would keep it to myself and surprise my partner if that were me.
I too am multilingual and also am just confused by people who are so adamant about never learning another language. Some almost wear it as a badge of honour to never even try to learn a couple of polite phrases.
Story 1 I can relate. I live in a big city and every freaking house has 10 or 12 cars parked on the front lawn or street and for some reason nobody uses a driveway. Alot of the houses are small and old so I know they don't have that many people living in them . Most cars never get moved 1 house around the corner from me has a Honda civic and Ford escape that's been sitting in the road unmoved for 8 years. It's ridiculous why do people need so many cars when they don't even drive all of them. I bet the insurance bill must be outrageous.
My first home was a foreclosure that sat vacant for a couple of years while the bank obtained clear title in order to sell the property. On the day I closed on the property I went to the home to make a list of the repairs that would be necessary before moving in. There were two cars parked in the garage. As I stood in the driveway a lady came from across the street and explained that, since the house had been vacant, when bad weather was forecast she and her neighbor would use the garage. She offered to move the car and I told her it wouldn't be necessary since I wasn't moving in for some time. During this the other neighbor walked up and was a complete ass, demanding proof that I had bought the house. I told him I was more than willing to provide that proof to the police and that I would go ahead and call them. That was the beginning of a feud that culminated in his swimming pool ending up with 20 blue toilet disks in it...enough for about 40,000 1.8 gallon flushes. He knew it was me but couldn't prove it...poor guy.
Second story - She should have filed a theft report with the German police and informed them completely of the situation. Told them he returned to the US and led her completely on about returning there, show them all the details of stuff being sent and the harassment from the US lawyer, who should have realized that harassing a non-US citizen can land them in trouble from the bar. Then watch Germany involve either Interpol or go direct to the US embassy. OP can also go to the US Embassy and file a complaint about their citizen.
I had neighbour's across the road secretly use my outdoor spa pool even whilst I was home asleep. They left bottles, the lid off (wasting electricity) and I could never prove it was them. Finally I lost the plot when I had been away for 3 days and they left it running without a lid, I scared them so much they never came back...I also installed outside automatic lights that were like those lights when getting interrogated and would wake me up if they came over. The audacity..Bill after those three days was 20x larger than usual
OP did the other girl a favor in the 3rd story. If OP hadn’t said anything in the restaurant, Chris would have broken her heart. Last story, why would anyone help themselves to a pool that isn’t theirs? They were trespassing and could be arrested for it. They’re lucky OP is just asking them to pay for a new fence to replace the once they broke, another thing they could be arrested for.
Wait, so if an American marries someone from another country... that someone can't petition to have a divorce because they are not a US citizen? Isn't that predatory af? Like what if the dude simply refused to allow his foreign wife to leave or allow the divorce, she'd be forced to stay married with that guy no matter what?
The first story: Chances are the "ex husband" is intentionally not sending the required divorce documents because he can use the excuse "she won't sign the divorce." as a way to NOT marry the 21 year old. And the Attorney's fees are just what he has to pay as the price for his freedom to do as he pleases in the US, without being tied down by marriage.
in the last story i think the only reason op probably called the neighbours again is because with the fear of towtrucks already installed this was most likely the quickest option
The 2nd story: I know a couple that texted each other everyday. I became friends with tomoko over the phone because he would alway FaceTime her (this is way before Covid) they truly loved each other and waited for her paper to get thou and for her to spend time with her family. Japan is annoying with paperwork. They got married and we they still look like newly weds after 5 years.
A) Inconsiderate B) Trashy C) Just plain stupid D) All of the above And the correct answer is... D! Inconsiderate because they had an agreement and could have followed it, but didn't. Trashy because they were parking four cars in someone else's driveway and sneaking in to use private property without permission. And just plain stupid because after being charged to unhook their cars they KEPT doing it.
Story 2: Does OP will vindicated just by costing her ex money? How does she benefit by that?? The jerk still has all her stuff (presumably)!! He made her homeless and jobless!! If it was me the revenge would be “send me my stuff and I will sign the paperwork.” Then when he sends the stuff you say “I meant I will sign it if you send everything by registered mail.”
Story 1: on paper it it pro, but it's petty because if they could a house like that and a second unit, they would see how consequential it is, but they can easily make it back
Why are my fellow Americans so opposed to learning a new language? Trust me, when you HAVE to learn, you WILL. I learned conversational sign language in less than a year because I had to for my hearing impaired son.
@@luna_theraider I was leaning on personal experience, and include myself in this. I speak Italian because I was raised bilingual, and I learned sign in a hurry because I had to for my son. I took 5 years of Spanish and only remember what lines up with Italian lol. I would have studied it more seriously in school if I knew then what I know now.
Story #2. As someone who is in a Polyamorous Relationship, I can say that is NOT a Polyamorous Relationship, he saw you as a Backup just in case his New Girl decided to Ditch him! I'm in a Loving Polyamorous Relationship with my Girlfriend for 8 Years, and I can Say that your Ex-Husband DOES NOT Represent Polyamory! He wanted an Open Relationship/Marriage with you and Fuck up your Life. Yes! There is a Difference between a Polyamorous Relationship and an Open Relationship!
Last story, if they don't pay you, put a lien on their house. That depreciates their value and credibility until they pay you. Pretty sure that also means their rents is legally meant to pay your lien before they can collect. A lien is basically a way to ensure you're paid what you're legally due. But I'm getting this from a more professional setting, I still don't see why you couldn't use it this way.
Story1: I normally am not one who approves of ratting out neighbors, but since they were griefing OP by illegally parking and refusing to move their vehicles AND they were building illegally, good for OP! He could have reported their vehicles as well but he didn't. Story2: OP dodged a bullet by staying in Germany. She probably could sue her ex for the value of her belongings as its not possible for her to go there to get them herself and all he has to do is mail them. I bet the person e-mailing her is not even a real lawyer- unless the lawyer is stringing him along on purpose to get more $ out of him. I wonder if OP is married on paper in the US. That means the ex can't re-marry in the US. Story3: Spreading gossip about other employees can actually get people in trouble. My friend's dipshit gf used to work at McDonalds and they actually sent her home for spreading gossip. She apparently blabbed the personal business of a co-worker to the mother of the co-worker's child (who did not work there) & caused drama for him. Gee, why did OP unfriend someone who slandered them? I can't figure it out. LOL. I think OP did the girl a favor by letting her know what kind of jerk Chris was. Better for the girl to find out then than later on when she's more attached. Good for OP for finally speaking her mind and getting it out and telling him just what a jerk he is. Story4: LOL. I love stories where someone treats someone badly (well, I don't like the part where they treat someone badly) but then end up applying for a job or needing approval of some sort & the person they bullied gets to have some karmic revenge by rejecting them or causing them to be rejected. Story5: It's bad enough to park in someone's driveway, but to use their pool? That is a legal liability. If one of them gets hurt or someone drowns, OP is legally liable. Trespassing pieces of crap! Sounds like OP needs fence around the pool too. Oh, there WAS a fence and the neighbors cut it. I had neighbors do that to my fence before and it pissed me off. So, we have trespassing repeatedly AND vandalism/destruction of property. If the neighbors refuse to pay within reasonable time, OP can go back to court and get a lien put on their house. I had people I didn't even know who thought it would be fun to bust my gate open and go joyriding all over my front lawn trying to run my dogs over. When I went outside and told them to stop it, they flipped me off, laughed, and kept chasing my dogs and tearing up my grass. My brother went and got our M-14 and took out 2 tires with one shot. They started screaming about damaging the tires but he told them the next shot was hitting flesh (he wouldn't have reacted that way if they hadn't been trying to hit our dogs with their 4-wheelers). I also had neighbors who cut my fence to get in and hunt in my yard. They were out shooting at squirrels and I went out with a rifle and told them to gtfo and never come back. I live on a dead end so no one can just drive by my yard and there is zero reason for anyone to come here unless they are delivering a package or have been invited.
I feel like the 3rd story may be a fabrication... they're 16 and being offered management? That sounds a bit illegal. At least in my state there's no way a minor could be management since it's illegal for them to be responsible for money... which is going to be a key responsibility of being a manager.
Story 4: Just because the past owner allowed it doesn't mean that this permission is permanent with later owners. Their stubbornness cost them dearly.
And when the previous owner moves that nulls any agreement.
They were renters and had no skin in the game. They didn’t care and felt entitled. It’s stories like these that make me understand landlords a lot better.
I have a feeling that they were lying about that.
True and yet this happens again and again in the Reddit stories. Neighbors claiming they have some sort of lifetime permission based on reported conversations with the prior owners. 😆😆
I doubt the past owners allowed it or had a deal with them.
They just saw that the house was vacant and most of the time there was no one around to stop them doing as they pleased.

The neighbors probably thought they’d be gone through the night, or at least several hours.
The only reason for the first story to be considered petty revenge is the amount of effort that OP put into this.
My thoughts exactly
I also think $100k for material and labor on a second unit has to be very lowball. (Depending how large the second unit was and if it contained a kitchen.)
@@condorboss3339 we redid our kitchen for $5k. $1k of that was the dishwasher, so the unit having a kitchen is not really much more of an expense than a regular room.
you could build a small 'unit' style kitchen for under $1k
right, it's like, you parked somewhere I didn't want you to and it inconveniences me, I'm going to call the city and tell them you're building without a permit.
I agree like the effort and why they did it
"I'm trying to figure out if the neighbors are inconsiderate, trashy, or just plain stupid."
The answer here is clearly, YES.

Agreed.

Gotta assert dominance somehow I guess

There's several houses on my block that basically have 1 suv type vehicles per person in the house.... with at least 6+ people in each house
I think it's the nature of the Revenge. A Pro-revenge in this context of the OP having to gather evidence of the event. He basically just gave an anonymous tip here

I enjoy the tree law stories because of the massive punishments meted out.
But, I also hate hearing about the trees that were killed in the process...
YES! Tree law is great!
Don’t feel bad for the girl, you probably saved her a lot of heartache
Honestly, I feel like the fact that they have nine cars kinda shows that they have money and $100k would just be petty revenge to them

That’s petty 😳
Story 1: I think its in petty revenge not because of the money amount but the 'blink and forget about it' phone call that caused a structure to be torn down. They still have the 9 cars in the road, but they might have to sell one cause of fines that no one got the details on on top of the 100k.
Gate installer: "There are some cars parked here"
OP: "Just go ahead and build the gate around them"
Story 4:
The neighbors are:
A) Inconsiderate
B) Trashy
C) Just Plain Stupid
*D) All Of The Above*
It's so sweet when bullies get karma
IANAL, but if the homeowner in the final story wants to get further revenge, they can place a lien on their neighbor’s house for the $3,800. Until the debt is paid, the house would be unable to be rented.
If the place is for rent, that probably means the neighbors are renters, not owners. Why would you go after the land lord?
Story 1: Op has a neighbor with 9 cars. Most of which they use solely to save parking spots for the main ones. I'm sure he lives in a rather wealthy neighborhood where 100k dollars wouldn't be a big loss. But then again it could be a bad neighborhood or something.
I'll never get over the fact that rslash keeps confusing the subreddit's "pettyrevenge, prorevenge, and nuclearrevege. It's not about the damages or costs from said revenge, it's the revenge itself.
So the first story was petty because he called the city inspectors over cars parked on the street too long. That's pretty petty, wether the revenge cost 1000-100000 it's the same because the revenge was out of pettiness.
First off, are you a mod on those subs? Or do you know one personally? Lol. Because I think there’s a lot more that goes into the hierarchy of the revenges than what you’re implying. I’d say somewhere in the middle of the “cause” vs the “effect” (why the revenge happened vs the aftermath, which is the $100k price tag in this case).
Secondly, the $100k was caused because the OP called the city inspectors over the unit in their backyard, which is only connected to the parking issue tangentially, as it provides background as to how they could be that stupid. But even without the car parking issue, I’d hope that OP would still call about the illegally built building, and cost them $100k regardless.
Petty - minor inconvenience, irritates the target.
Pro - massive legal or financial consequences, op completely legal.
Nuclear - op commits a crime.
Those are my definitions. Pro often needs nothing other than a 5 minute call.
@@kstricl nuclear- totally ruins 1 or more lives.
@@kstricl that's my classification for revenge levels too
There needs to be a category "coincidental revenge". The toothbrush story would fit there.
I’m in the hospital rn and your videos are literally all I’m watching lol.
Hope things gett better!
i know it's been a month but hope things got/will get better!
Dear lord that second story backstab glad you got your revenge
14:28 Why did you leave out the bit about the husband being arrested? Surely that's a significant detail!
My thoughts exactly. Once you go beyond five digits, the revenge is pro for me.
3rd:
These are the stories that make me realize what I became after years of bullying. I used to be bullied until the point my tongue became sooo sharp. I literally started stab people in the gut with words.
Don't push anyone beyond that line. They might snap and hurt you badly.
That's actually pretty damn poetic
story 3 and 4 should be lesson to everyone by be careful who you mistreat at work cause one day it is going bite you in the ass by months or years later and both OP got their payback
How the hell did they not get arrested? Isn’t cutting a hole in someone fence and going into their backyard, vandalism, destruction of property, and trespassing?
For the first story, I still think it counts as petty. Despite the high cost, the imposition on OP was just an annoyance, and, even more importantly, the amount of effort OP had to put in to exacting revenge was almost nil. Those both balance out the sum of money. I think the monetary damage needed to pass the Pro Revenge threshold for this scenario is somewhere between 500K and 1M.
No 2 OPshould report him for claiming married status when they are separated. They will look, and likely claim back all the rebates they gave him.
god the dude in that story is so dumb! everything that is going wrong in his life right now is because he's being lazy and won't do what needs to be done.
This helps me wake up every day! Thanks for the fuel Rslash!
rocket fuel

1st story: "We don't want to look tacky", so instead they park NINE CARS, to, not only look tacky, but also being completely a-holes.
I love this content. Listen to it every morning! Your are amazing.
Story 1: deffo Pro Revenge
Story 2: is the lawyer somehow unaware of the laws regarding overseas divorces, or just can't be bothered to read up on them? Surely a .de email address should raise at least one eyebrow.
Story 3: "Chris" seems to have stopped maturing at 15.
Story 4: this is something that seems to happen so often that people should be aware of it by now, although I do get that the original incident was 7 years prior.
Story 5: this story could also be filed under Entitled People. OP was too kind the 2nd time with the cars. The neighbours need to learn that if you keep banging your head on a wall that your head won't stop hurting each successive time. As for the pool, I wouldn't have even confronted them, just rang the police straight off.
Maybe the OP in story 2 didn't use a .de email. Either way, the lawyer sure is...dumb in that one
story 2: the lawyer gets paid for every email, why would they do something to stop that payment when their client is the idiot who won't do what needs to be done?
i think the first one was 'petty' in that next to no effort was required in doing it--the amount of money is definitely a pro amount tho
I have a similar story to the bad manager one. A while back I committed an armed robbery, so that's on my record for life now. About 15 years ago I was applying for a job as a help desk technician for a telecom provider. Now, it's illegal to discriminate based on criminal history unless the offense substantially relates to the job in question. Such as a pedophile being ineligible to work as a school teacher. Since I robbed a store, that in no way relates to help desk support. But anyway the guy doing the interview apparently didn't read the application much, because he didn't see the felony disclosure until we were in the middle of the interview. He immediately closed the folder and said "Well we don't hire felons here, you can see yourself out." When I told him that his decision was literally against federal law, he smirked and said "Well we have a legal team and you're unemployed. Have fun with that."
Anyway a few years later I'd clawed myself out of the hole, and had a respectable career working for a defense contractor as a business analyst. One of my side duties was to come in on new hire trainings and help walk people through how the proprietary database works. And on one such day, guess who I saw sitting in that new hire training? A-yup, Mr. 'Have Fun With That' himself. He got white as a sheet and at one point straight up asked me if we were going to have a problem, and I just said "Here, we follow the law. As long as you can manage that, you'll be fine."
He was fired six months later for literally forging someone's signature. And he claimed it was OK because it was just to save time. Like, he knew the guy would've signed the contract if he sent it, so he just signed it for him to save time. And no amount of anything could get through to this guy that what he did was literal forgery.
Some people are just unemployably stupid.
For the last story, if the neighbors own you money for a court judgement, put a lien on their house. They’ll have a fun time renting with that in place.
Bro-
The co-worker bullying OP in the 3rd story is like acting an 8th grade bullying. Goes to show that middle school may end at 13-14 but middle school behavior never ends💀
The 8th graders I went to school with were more creative than he was
When I was in middle school I was bullied once, because my dad would make sure it didn't happen again, don't get mad, get even and even I got, I have my phone with a tracker on it, in case it got lost or stolen when my bully stole it he took it home and I got the pleasure of him returning it with his dad, IN HIS POLICE UNIFORM, his dad was a cop and he said he'll make sure this doesn't happen again, just please don't press charges, I did, and he never bullied me again
“Man… revenge is underrated that felt awesome!”
With that last story, I would have just had the gate installer install the gate with the cars inside. When they freaked out about it, just say "Hey! I told you to move them! I'm thinking of selling them. How much you think I can get? Actually, now that you're here, how much did you pay for them?! Will give me a good idea what I can get for them!"
I wonder whats going on in the minds of those driveway parkers ... like "the audacity he called the tow company THE AUDACITY, *frantic screaming"
As someone who speakes 4 languages, I don't understand people who won't learn their partners native language. It's kinda disrespectful in my opinion.
And dumb, they could be talking so much shit behind your back!
Which languages
I don't really think that's disrespectful, it however could be a good gesture to show you care to make the effort to learn their language. I think I would keep it to myself and surprise my partner if that were me.
I too am multilingual and also am just confused by people who are so adamant about never learning another language. Some almost wear it as a badge of honour to never even try to learn a couple of polite phrases.
@@survivedandthriving which languages? I would like to know
Story 1 I can relate. I live in a big city and every freaking house has 10 or 12 cars parked on the front lawn or street and for some reason nobody uses a driveway. Alot of the houses are small and old so I know they don't have that many people living in them . Most cars never get moved 1 house around the corner from me has a Honda civic and Ford escape that's been sitting in the road unmoved for 8 years. It's ridiculous why do people need so many cars when they don't even drive all of them. I bet the insurance bill must be outrageous.
Tbh. . . $100K seems a bit beyond petty
My first home was a foreclosure that sat vacant for a couple of years while the bank obtained clear title in order to sell the property. On the day I closed on the property I went to the home to make a list of the repairs that would be necessary before moving in. There were two cars parked in the garage. As I stood in the driveway a lady came from across the street and explained that, since the house had been vacant, when bad weather was forecast she and her neighbor would use the garage. She offered to move the car and I told her it wouldn't be necessary since I wasn't moving in for some time. During this the other neighbor walked up and was a complete ass, demanding proof that I had bought the house. I told him I was more than willing to provide that proof to the police and that I would go ahead and call them. That was the beginning of a feud that culminated in his swimming pool ending up with 20 blue toilet disks in it...enough for about 40,000 1.8 gallon flushes. He knew it was me but couldn't prove it...poor guy.
14:57 the answer to those questions is all of the above
Second story - She should have filed a theft report with the German police and informed them completely of the situation. Told them he returned to the US and led her completely on about returning there, show them all the details of stuff being sent and the harassment from the US lawyer, who should have realized that harassing a non-US citizen can land them in trouble from the bar. Then watch Germany involve either Interpol or go direct to the US embassy. OP can also go to the US Embassy and file a complaint about their citizen.
Rslash: with the intention of being a good neighbor
Me: state farm is there?
I had neighbour's across the road secretly use my outdoor spa pool even whilst I was home asleep. They left bottles, the lid off (wasting electricity) and I could never prove it was them. Finally I lost the plot when I had been away for 3 days and they left it running without a lid, I scared them so much they never came back...I also installed outside automatic lights that were like those lights when getting interrogated and would wake me up if they came over. The audacity..Bill after those three days was 20x larger than usual
Awesome thanks, how do I get in touch? Slightly older user here😅
I messaged you through what's app
@@meganjones1184 just in the case that you aren't a bot account, the "you won a price" comments are scams. report, ignore and move on.
@Phoenix got it thanks, I had a bit of fun with him...fake name address etc🤣 commented on how impeccable his English is coming from India!!!
OP did the other girl a favor in the 3rd story. If OP hadn’t said anything in the restaurant, Chris would have broken her heart.
Last story, why would anyone help themselves to a pool that isn’t theirs? They were trespassing and could be arrested for it. They’re lucky OP is just asking them to pay for a new fence to replace the once they broke, another thing they could be arrested for.
On the first story, the people that built that without permits cost themselves 100,000 NOT op.
Wait, so if an American marries someone from another country... that someone can't petition to have a divorce because they are not a US citizen? Isn't that predatory af? Like what if the dude simply refused to allow his foreign wife to leave or allow the divorce, she'd be forced to stay married with that guy no matter what?
The first story: Chances are the "ex husband" is intentionally not sending the required divorce documents because he can use the excuse "she won't sign the divorce." as a way to NOT marry the 21 year old. And the Attorney's fees are just what he has to pay as the price for his freedom to do as he pleases in the US, without being tied down by marriage.
in the last story i think the only reason op probably called the neighbours again is because with the fear of towtrucks already installed this was most likely the quickest option
The 2nd story: I know a couple that texted each other everyday. I became friends with tomoko over the phone because he would alway FaceTime her (this is way before Covid) they truly loved each other and waited for her paper to get thou and for her to spend time with her family. Japan is annoying with paperwork. They got married and we they still look like newly weds after 5 years.
2nd story 1:56. How can you be with someone who disrespects your culture and homeland that lazily?!
A) Inconsiderate
B) Trashy
C) Just plain stupid
D) All of the above
And the correct answer is... D!
Inconsiderate because they had an agreement and could have followed it, but didn't.
Trashy because they were parking four cars in someone else's driveway and sneaking in to use private property without permission.
And just plain stupid because after being charged to unhook their cars they KEPT doing it.
Forget calling the tow company the 2nd time, I would just/the tires in the driveway. And walk away. They can't prove it was me.
Story 1; this is why I have a big front and back yard. We got parts cars rotating in and out and 7 regular lurkers cause of rebuilding 😅
Story 1:
Bruh I'd consider $100,000 bordering on *nuclear* revenge. That's more money than I've ever had at one time, period
I really hope OP in the first story got her things back from the US :( that’s seriously the shittiest thing to happen to someone
Story 2:
Does OP will vindicated just by costing her ex money? How does she benefit by that?? The jerk still has all her stuff (presumably)!! He made her homeless and jobless!! If it was me the revenge would be “send me my stuff and I will sign the paperwork.” Then when he sends the stuff you say “I meant I will sign it if you send everything by registered mail.”
Last story: RSlash, embrace the healing power of 'and'.
Story 1: on paper it it pro, but it's petty because if they could a house like that and a second unit, they would see how consequential it is, but they can easily make it back
They own multiple cars purely for the purpose of saving parking spaces. I dare say $100k probably is a petty amount to them!
Love these extra juicy revenge stories!!
I'm glad you got your revenge too that freak needs to be put in this place
Why are my fellow Americans so opposed to learning a new language? Trust me, when you HAVE to learn, you WILL. I learned conversational sign language in less than a year because I had to for my hearing impaired son.
Its not all. Don’t make it a stereotype. Just because some choose not to it makes it so people assume the ones that do don’t.
@@luna_theraider I was leaning on personal experience, and include myself in this. I speak Italian because I was raised bilingual, and I learned sign in a hurry because I had to for my son. I took 5 years of Spanish and only remember what lines up with Italian lol. I would have studied it more seriously in school if I knew then what I know now.
Story 3: OP was doing a favour to that girl, that dude is both a bully and a cheater. The early the better I guess.
I feel like there is missing context in the international marriage story. It just seems really one sided and I feel like we don't have the full story.
So you sympathize with the guy? Lol
@@guitarbass22 no, I just want more information.
For that $4000 (the tow bill and the court payment) they could've got a pretty sweet swimming pool, nothing fancy but still, not in the cheap end.
Story #2. As someone who is in a Polyamorous Relationship, I can say that is NOT a Polyamorous Relationship, he saw you as a Backup just in case his New Girl decided to Ditch him! I'm in a Loving Polyamorous Relationship with my Girlfriend for 8 Years, and I can Say that your Ex-Husband DOES NOT Represent Polyamory! He wanted an Open Relationship/Marriage with you and Fuck up your Life.
Yes! There is a Difference between a Polyamorous Relationship and an Open Relationship!
Whoa, that's a bit harsh, considering English is not her primary nor fluent language!
Last story, if they don't pay you, put a lien on their house. That depreciates their value and credibility until they pay you. Pretty sure that also means their rents is legally meant to pay your lien before they can collect. A lien is basically a way to ensure you're paid what you're legally due. But I'm getting this from a more professional setting, I still don't see why you couldn't use it this way.
For toothbrush story I feel like thatd be an easy way to get sued
For the last story, the neighbors ARE inconsiderate, they ARE trashy, and they ARE stupid. They are ALL of the above... 👀
If that's petty revenge then I'm that case I don't want to be there for the nuclear revenge
No no no. the 300 dollars was for the tow truck to unhook the cars. The cost of impound would be much more.
First story is petty because it was over parking. The sum of money is certainly not petty.
Lol i would have let the gate builder gate the cars into the driveway and then charge a fee to let the neigbours get them out again.
Story1: I normally am not one who approves of ratting out neighbors, but since they were griefing OP by illegally parking and refusing to move their vehicles AND they were building illegally, good for OP! He could have reported their vehicles as well but he didn't.
Story2: OP dodged a bullet by staying in Germany. She probably could sue her ex for the value of her belongings as its not possible for her to go there to get them herself and all he has to do is mail them. I bet the person e-mailing her is not even a real lawyer- unless the lawyer is stringing him along on purpose to get more $ out of him. I wonder if OP is married on paper in the US. That means the ex can't re-marry in the US.
Story3: Spreading gossip about other employees can actually get people in trouble. My friend's dipshit gf used to work at McDonalds and they actually sent her home for spreading gossip. She apparently blabbed the personal business of a co-worker to the mother of the co-worker's child (who did not work there) & caused drama for him. Gee, why did OP unfriend someone who slandered them? I can't figure it out. LOL. I think OP did the girl a favor by letting her know what kind of jerk Chris was. Better for the girl to find out then than later on when she's more attached. Good for OP for finally speaking her mind and getting it out and telling him just what a jerk he is.
Story4: LOL. I love stories where someone treats someone badly (well, I don't like the part where they treat someone badly) but then end up applying for a job or needing approval of some sort & the person they bullied gets to have some karmic revenge by rejecting them or causing them to be rejected.
Story5: It's bad enough to park in someone's driveway, but to use their pool? That is a legal liability. If one of them gets hurt or someone drowns, OP is legally liable. Trespassing pieces of crap! Sounds like OP needs fence around the pool too. Oh, there WAS a fence and the neighbors cut it. I had neighbors do that to my fence before and it pissed me off. So, we have trespassing repeatedly AND vandalism/destruction of property. If the neighbors refuse to pay within reasonable time, OP can go back to court and get a lien put on their house. I had people I didn't even know who thought it would be fun to bust my gate open and go joyriding all over my front lawn trying to run my dogs over. When I went outside and told them to stop it, they flipped me off, laughed, and kept chasing my dogs and tearing up my grass. My brother went and got our M-14 and took out 2 tires with one shot. They started screaming about damaging the tires but he told them the next shot was hitting flesh (he wouldn't have reacted that way if they hadn't been trying to hit our dogs with their 4-wheelers). I also had neighbors who cut my fence to get in and hunt in my yard. They were out shooting at squirrels and I went out with a rifle and told them to gtfo and never come back. I live on a dead end so no one can just drive by my yard and there is zero reason for anyone to come here unless they are delivering a package or have been invited.
to answer the question on the final story,
D: All the above😂
Last story. I think they are all 3. 😂
HAPPY BIRTHDAY RSLASH 🥳🥳🥳
He's caught in a loophole after loophole after loophole that's costing him a boatload of money
Good morning rslash. Permission doesn't carry over from owner to new owner.
Story2: the writer should not have felt bad for the girlfriend. If the woman left that garbage human then she dodged a hail of bullets.
“They were in my pool!”
So anyway, I started blasted
Last story: I suspect the neighbors are inconsiderate, trashy, AND stupid, but hey, that's just my opinion.
I feel like the 3rd story may be a fabrication... they're 16 and being offered management? That sounds a bit illegal. At least in my state there's no way a minor could be management since it's illegal for them to be responsible for money... which is going to be a key responsibility of being a manager.
I think OP put story 1 as petty revenge for the petty reason they caused the revenge.
How does Dabney not keep track of stories told?
I thought that I was the only one noticing this!
I mean unlike us He probably have to read alot of stories and keeping track of stories is probably hard
he probably shorts by new and pulls the best from the top. him repeating stories could be because they are reposts.
Story 1: Tell me you're rich without telling me you're rich.
I wouldn't feel bad for the girl who was with Chris, OP probably saved her from wasting too much time on the guy.
Story 3 sounds like it can be from my job to the ages and the name. If it isn't then this is a small world
3rd story..where I'm from we have a word for jocks who peaked in highschool..cementhead.
Story 3: they should not feel bad for the girl they just saved her from a horrible relationship
