The last story made me happy because OP not only got the divorce he deserved but made a friend that he knows is a good guy since he was willing to tell him the truth about his wife. He could have just walked away and had nothing to do with her again but he went out of his way to make things right by OP. I'm glad there are still good guys out there.
Story 4: It's the way she likely knew about the rules in regards to divorce considering she tried to bleed him dry in order to be willing to divorce him and yet fortunately for Op but unfortunately for her, she wasn't bright enough to 1. Wait until the divorce was finalized before seeing her side piece and 2. Was stupid enough to see him in _public_ where Op could be at and catch her at _any point._ Edit: "To say my ex wife was livid is an understatement" Why? She's the one stupid enough to cheat _and_ get caught doing so. Not your fault she has little to no morals and poor planning skills.
When someone says “to say (insert whatever here) is an understatement”, they mean that it doesn’t compare to what really happened. So saying that “saying she was livid would be an understatement” means that she was so incredibly angry that livid doesn’t begin to express how angry she really was. Hope this helps!
Story 3: How did this dude expect to get away with harassing employees? There's always gonna be someone that will make sure such behavior gets punished.
Wow, the hotel story was by far the best one I have ever listened to! I couldn't stop smiling more each time OP said he wasn't done, he destroyed this entitled prick! Well done OP!
I wish I could do the same with my boss. one time this girl was 3 minutes late and I was 30 minutes late. He yelled at her so much that she cried, and I didn't get any of that. I was so in shock that I didn't do anything about it. I'm no longer employed there but I still want to f him over legally.
Story 2 reminds me of when the entire sanitation department went on strike in Milwaukee, and my grandmother discovered a great way to get her trash picked up. She put it in a box, gift-wrapped it, and left it in the back of her unlocked car at night. The trash was gone by morning.
Story 3 : I was warned about acting like this when I was younger ( was an alcoholic a hole back in my younger days) .. I had a teacher who was also a police Sargent who always told me "no matter what you're always on camera " .. Last story : congratulations op ex wife you played yourself..
Damn.. and here I am thinking "be kinder than necessary, for everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle". But I guess it's not just Christians who have to use the threat of punishment to be forced to be respectful of others 🤣
@@thetruth1816 I had previously assumed that most people were good and were polite to others because it was the right thing to do. It makes me feel guilty if I hurt someone's feelings, even on accident. I just assumed everyone was born with that moral compass. I didn't realize it was like pulling teeth to get some people to show even the most basic respect. It's been a rude awakening growing up and realizing that. That's all.
Story 4: Well apparently yeah, the guy was worth the $25k. The dude was such a nice guy, that he helped his girlfriend's ex to get rid of her, and became friends with him. What an upstanding man!
In the first story I like it that op said they won't talk about thier father and yet still tells story about thier father and not just let the judge talk
I counter the story was about recovering an earned income for OP’s mom. Dad was more of a side character and wasn’t really discussed other than initially set up.
The hotel story feels a little sus. It smells a lot of “and then everyone in the lobby stood up and clapped for me. then the president of the hotel promoted me to VP”
I think it’s the use of literal back-and-forth dialog between OP and the manager. Stories on this sub are presumed to be recollections, and recollections rarely have exact word-for-word dialog exchanges unless it happened earlier the same day.
Glad I’m not the only one that was suspicious. Everyone had the exact same reaction? The manager didn’t do the first part himself even though he most likely should have known that fact? Really? Sounds fishy.
@@_.hybrids._1680 The way OP describes him, I wouldn't expect him to be very likeable. What's so hard to believe about nobody liking some guy with a rude/hateful attitude?
In my opinion, no one who is brought into a cheating situationlike the last story should be blamed. With the exception of say a friend, family, or just has general knowledge of the actual situation, like a neighbor... I would never blame the other guy since he, himself was lied to... And I'd, assuming he didn't pursue the relationship anymore, would probably become friends with him, too... It's the ones who know the real situation and don't care that are to share in the blame... Usually they are cheating on someone as well...
Story 3: from experience, this is exactly how hotels work behind the scenes. If you’re causing problems as a guest, EVERYONE knows your name and NO ONE is on your side. It works in the reverse too, if you’re an absolute angel, everyone will be expecting you with niceties. This is especially true for the corporate hotels like OP’s, because guest appreciation standards are really high.
My son was injured in an industrial accident and I stayed in the same hotel for the 3 months that he was hospitalized. I always tipped the housekeeping staff weekly and generously, so they were very kind to me, especially with the extra fudge, hot chocolate, coffee and hugs. The hotel would also allow me to use their small conference room for meetings with the Workman's Compensation Board (Who were kind enough to pay for the hotel), my son's doctors, therapists and me. Anything I needed they were quick to provide and it made what was a very trying time much more bearable.
Story 4: I’m just imagining the guy doing a happy dance like edgy Peter Parker in Spider-Man, just doing a dance out of the court house and to city hall.
The porch pirate reminded me of something my MIL would say, "better to be pissed off than pissed on." She also said "I'm not slow and I'm not fast. I'm half fast."
Wow! That front desk clerk is brilliant! I wonder why the manager didn't figure any of that out? Sounds terribly fake. Especially the extra extra stuff the lowly clerk did.
That last story was truly beautiful. It cements the age-old adage "bros before hoes" with a nice twist. Glad the two stayed friends afterwards too. Guy really seems like a solid fella you'd want to have a beer or three with.
Growing up, my mom used to tell me if I got mad at something, "it's better to be pissed off than pissed on." I'm sure those porch pirates don't agree, they were pissed off BECAUSE they got pissed on. lmfao.

Got hit with porch pirates for a bit but seemed to reduce it a bit. Started from time to time reuse the boxes replacement orders came in at first and filled them with a weeks worth of kitty's leavings and from time to time would leave a surprise package on the porch at least until I had to put the cat down a couple years ago. Apparently the possibility of a stinky squishy surprise package worked as the porch piracy dropped off a good bit.

My cousin-in-law like to sit on the porch late at night, doing his carving and often has a little something alcholic to keep him warm. Sometimes he leaves a bottle out there, which got stolen. So he took a bottle of mead, drank it, then recycoled it back into the bottle. It got stolen. The next time, he put some vodka out there with some heavy duty laxitives in it. It got stolen. Then he left a bottle of Jim beam out there and nobody touched it.
I hate dealing with delivery services. I've specified nearly every time I order electronics I request signature for delivery. I've had over 2k worth of electronics dropped on my doorstep, most of it when people were in the house right by the door. They don't even knock.
Fun fact for story 1: Op's name Astakask is actually a punk band in Sweden, Asta Kask. I had to listen twice because I thought I heard wrong at first, hahah
I'm oddly loving my EMDR sessions for my PTSD. It does suck a bit as I have to go in depth about my trauma and it has made my mental health more unstable but I'm seeing significant results even after a few sessions. My therapist is wonderful and I've told her things I never thought I'd share with anyone else which is so freeing. I have a long way to go still but I highly recommend it. I just wanted to share this in case there's anyone out there like how I was before as it's a terrifying concept to face your trauma especially since I used to cope with it by repressing those thoughts, feelings, and emotions but it's 100% worth it. Before starting, I was in a state where I could manage the symptoms of PTSD where I just avoided triggers and the symptoms weren't that intrusive in my daily life but it's very nice not having to deal with them at all and I'd say that even though my mental health is a bit more unstable while going through therapy, it's not as horrendous as dealing with my PTSD used to be.
I also suffer from c-PTSD. Been in therapy for the last three years. I’m still unbalanced, but I’m learning coping mechanisms to help. And now I can genuinely say that I want relationships and friendships with people when before, I couldn’t feel the slightest bit of empathy towards anyone
3rd story: Yep if you're an employee working for the same company and go to another spot as a guest, it's common sense that your employee card will show all your info. Atm Cinemark is already doing this too. Which we have to check ID if any other employee is visiting us besides our own place.
I worked at a hotel too never had guests like in OP's story but we had our fair share of messy guests who made a complete mess of their rooms and the hotel.
I was hit with a porch pirate on one occasion. It wasn't an expensive item, but I was still pissed. I installed my Wyze cam and a bluetooth-capable timed floodlight in the backyard. Never had a problem since.
I haven't listened to this whole episode but the first one made me so happy. It was so amazing to hear that you got sober. It's a rough road but I'm also glad that you are getting help.
Story 4, if anyone finds themself in a similar situation with the law and divorce. I would recommend hiring a private detective, especially if you are certain your partner is cheating. I am pretty sure it will cost less then 25k.
1st story: Man, I am so glad OP finally left that POS passing as a human being. Too bad OP's mom didn't got that pension before, let alone her giving him of her pension.
I wish you could put something dangerous in the packages to counter the porch pirates. Losing a couple of fingers should quell the need to take the packages.
Good morning and Good night everyone. Hope everyone either has an amazing day or an amazing night. For anyone who needs to hear it: you are enough, more than enough and I am so proud of you.
Last Story: OP shouldn't have given the option of a non-contested divorce, if his ex was going to torture him by trying to get 100k out of him, then OP should have been willing to turn the tables on her and get as much money as he can from her instead.
For story 1, while yes 30k times ten is 300,000, that doesn't account for interest from how long ago he took the money. Not to mention the failed payment was taken out of the base value, drastically reducing any interest he had been earning or will earn for the rest of his life.
The thumbnail is totally deceptive . The O.P. never stole $ 300,000 ! He merely recovered the $ 300,000 pension that his mother was LEGALLY entitled to . Money that she was entitled to from an official court order ! . So how was the money stolen , when a judge signed the court order ?
Story 2 I think it's funny because OP could literally leave the package outside. Forget about it and then the longer it takes for someone to steal it the more pungent it'll get
On that last story, I actually applaud that guy. He was caught in the ex-wife's lies just as much as the husband. And his response was solid. That's a good guy ultimately.
I've been working at a hotel for about 7 months now, I can heavily relate to the 3rd story. We had a front desk girl travel to another city using the same employee discount. She lost a pair of 5 dollar sunglasses and threw a massive racist hissy fit at the houscleaning staff, the front desk attendants and the manager. It was weird to hear about, since she had always been nice, if a little lazy.
It is way more than 300k. It is closer to between 475k and 500k if he had to pay the interest of 10 years. It could be even more, but I kept it at a conservative 5% yearly interest.
My packages had been stolen so many times i now keep a cat litter box on the porch. Ups kindly leaves my packages in my breezeway where i leave a basket with fruit granola bars and water in the back porch fridge. It's a thank you for the extra 20 feet they walk. ❤😅
Story 1: Eh nothing in the story makes him sound any worse than any petty and neglectful father to me. My father emptied all the joint bank accounts and then filed for divorce and this was years after my mother quit her job to be a stay at home mother. We moved into a mold infested house because it had a small backyard with him literally claiming that he would not do anything around the house unless he got the house he wanted siting how he made the money, the job my mother had to quit because he was a dead beat paid more than his job ever did and she paid for his college which he failed the first time because he's as dumb as he is petty. On the divorce settlement he hired his crooked (been sited for various violations a couple times yet still has his license to practice law) lawyer and tried to walk away with out paying my mother anything. Unfortunately for her the judge was a phone in the job type so he walked away with the vast majority of it and pays her far less than what is even livable and she wasn't able to get back any of the joint account funds that he emptied prior because his name was on the account. As for being a father just some of his hit list includes abandoning me in the forest (he literally ran out of through the forest with my brother) when I was 8 or so and drove home, when at home when my mother asked where I was he claimed I just hadn't come in the house yet, I was out there for 2 hours. At a football game he wanted an autograph of a player and he shouted to the player that his son had cancer and was dying to try to get the player's attention, I did not have cancer and aside from slowly dying from the passage of time nothing was speeding up my inevitable demise. Finally the week my grandmother died and my mother was handling the estate, he didn't want to look after me so he called the police and had me detained for the entire time my mother was out of town, since no technical charges were filed I was just held until the hearing which was a couple of extra days after my mother returned and said he made it up just so he didn't have to be in the house and yet the legal system seemed to have no problem with what he did and nothing happened to him for it whilst I was stuck in Juvy I got a corneal abrasion that ended up getting infected and was on antibiotics for a month all because he was a deadbeat. Story 2: That's actually illegal and despite them robbing you, you CAN be charged for assault for doing that so whilst you think you're safe because they won't report you it just takes one to end up in jail.
Story 4: honestly, I think if you just don’t want to be married anymore, you SHOULD have to buy yourself out of the marriage just like any other binding contract. ETA: I mean I guess if they were both cheating/unhappy, it’s disingenuous to demand money. Just walk away, yea “no contest”.
7:35 is so fake. Does anyone really believe the guy would come down "hat in hand" when his key didn't work? He'd be livid, screaming at everyone. So much of the rest of this is suspect, too: OP seems to be the only competent person in the story, including the manager. I'll give OP credit for creating an enjoyable piece of fiction, though!
today in 'how messy are the US exactly?', I wondered why I never really hear about porch pirates in my home country. "well," I reasoned "there shouldn't be much to steal. when a package can't be delivered, it ends up in a post office where the recipient can come and take it." then there is a pause in my brain "wait. Does that mean...?" Do you guys not have this service at all? I've heard that your mail service had been hindered, but is it that bad?
"I set out to find the most unbalanced, bloodthirsty psychotic who passed the BAR exam", you literally had me lol and it's even poetic.

They're always pissed when they get caught and will try to find some way of flipping the blame on the person they were cheating on
Cheaters enjoy cheating, not the consequences of getting caught.
When someone says “to say (insert whatever here) is an understatement”, they mean that it doesn’t compare to what really happened. So saying that “saying she was livid would be an understatement” means that she was so incredibly angry that livid doesn’t begin to express how angry she really was. Hope this helps!

@@nashfranco5696 wanna trade weather? I'll gladly take the heat over the cold!
@@trustingGuard what part of Texas are you from, I'm hearing it's not cold down there yet
@@bigbird4481 I'm up in the Northeast Part, and it gets about 59°F in the morning, which is cold for me who's used to it being 80-85°F in the morning!
Porch pirates; used kitty litter also makes a great theft deterrent. Just loose in the box. Lol
I haven't listened to this whole episode but the first one made me so happy. It was so amazing to hear that you got sober. It's a rough road but I'm also glad that you are getting help.
"My father is the Canadian Satan."
So he goes around pushing trash freemium games onto people with addictive tendencies? That _is_ evil.
Story 4, if anyone finds themself in a similar situation with the law and divorce. I would recommend hiring a private detective, especially if you are certain your partner is cheating. I am pretty sure it will cost less then 25k.
a round of applause for story 1 and 2. for adding insult to injury.
The fact that glitter bombs were mentioned in two stories within a minute of each other is kind of wild to me 😂
That poor Miata tho
1st story: Man, I am so glad OP finally left that POS passing as a human being. Too bad OP's mom didn't got that pension before, let alone her giving him of her pension.
OP in the 3rd story made everyone happy, ruined that one guy, and made everyone know that you should not *piss them off*
The end of the 2nd story where rslash couldn’t get out the punchline without giggling so much 😆
I wish you could put something dangerous in the packages to counter the porch pirates. Losing a couple of fingers should quell the need to take the packages.
As someone who worked in a hotel, the first golden rule is do NOT fuck around when staying in other hotels
I love the Ace Attorney reference in the 1st story!
Good morning and Good night everyone. Hope everyone either has an amazing day or an amazing night. For anyone who needs to hear it: you are enough, more than enough and I am so proud of you.
Thank you for this kind internet stranger! I really needed to hear this💜 hope you have a wonderful day/night!
Last Story: OP shouldn't have given the option of a non-contested divorce, if his ex was going to torture him by trying to get 100k out of him, then OP should have been willing to turn the tables on her and get as much money as he can from her instead.
Hears "Canadian Satan" immediate flash of the South Park movie.
For story 1, while yes 30k times ten is 300,000, that doesn't account for interest from how long ago he took the money.
Not to mention the failed payment was taken out of the base value, drastically reducing any interest he had been earning or will earn for the rest of his life.
The thumbnail is totally deceptive . The O.P. never stole $ 300,000 !
He merely recovered the $ 300,000 pension that his mother was LEGALLY entitled to . Money that she was entitled to from an official court order ! .
So how was the money stolen , when a judge signed the court order ?
His thumbnails and titles are deceptive all the time
Story #3 seems a bit fake. The manager didn’t think of any of these things to do? He relied on an employee to fix the issue?
exactly. Fanfic much?
Story 2
I think it's funny because OP could literally leave the package outside. Forget about it and then the longer it takes for someone to steal it the more pungent it'll get
On that last story, I actually applaud that guy. He was caught in the ex-wife's lies just as much as the husband. And his response was solid. That's a good guy ultimately.
"If I ever do something like that, please tell me" roughly translates to "I do NOT wanna see you more pissed off than what this guest got"
Hey Rslash, thank you for making me smile and laugh. My grandpa just passed yesterday
rip grandpa
you feeling okay?
I am truly sorry for your loss. I hope you are able to find comfort. It's never easy to lose a loved one💜
Rip, hope you are well
Sending thoughts of love and comfort your way.💙🕊️
I'm sorry for your loss.
story 1: canadian devil's place is already taken by the prime minister lmao
I've been working at a hotel for about 7 months now, I can heavily relate to the 3rd story. We had a front desk girl travel to another city using the same employee discount. She lost a pair of 5 dollar sunglasses and threw a massive racist hissy fit at the houscleaning staff, the front desk attendants and the manager. It was weird to hear about, since she had always been nice, if a little lazy.
It is way more than 300k. It is closer to between 475k and 500k if he had to pay the interest of 10 years. It could be even more, but I kept it at a conservative 5% yearly interest.
Plus all the years still to come :)
Last story, not only did op get a divorce without having to pay heaps of alimony, he made a friend in his ex wife's lover...
2:19 is this an ace attorney reference?
12:12 I BURST OUT LAUGHING!
So the first story OP is the child of Beelzeboot the Canadian Devil then? 🤣
4:01 you'd better call saul
"A Slapshot to the Taint from Gretzky"
hilarious 😂
My packages had been stolen so many times i now keep a cat litter box on the porch. Ups kindly leaves my packages in my breezeway where i leave a basket with fruit granola bars and water in the back porch fridge. It's a thank you for the extra 20 feet they walk. ❤😅
How do these people come up with the money to pay those whom they have wronged? I have yet to receive a single payment from those who owe me.
ikr, its literally beed 2 months since i leant my sister 40 bucks lol, she has yet to pay me back :>
@@Bonked_YT I have a court order from 5 years ago for approximately $80k and the guy dropped through the ground.
@@ProtonFilms_Mark so someone owes you 80k?
@@Bonked_YT Yessums. And nobody can find the guy, but he's definitely alive, cause he appears online in messengers on occasion.
@@ProtonFilms_Mark if you can track him down, you can have the court garnish his wages to pay you
Story 1: Eh nothing in the story makes him sound any worse than any petty and neglectful father to me. My father emptied all the joint bank accounts and then filed for divorce and this was years after my mother quit her job to be a stay at home mother. We moved into a mold infested house because it had a small backyard with him literally claiming that he would not do anything around the house unless he got the house he wanted siting how he made the money, the job my mother had to quit because he was a dead beat paid more than his job ever did and she paid for his college which he failed the first time because he's as dumb as he is petty. On the divorce settlement he hired his crooked (been sited for various violations a couple times yet still has his license to practice law) lawyer and tried to walk away with out paying my mother anything. Unfortunately for her the judge was a phone in the job type so he walked away with the vast majority of it and pays her far less than what is even livable and she wasn't able to get back any of the joint account funds that he emptied prior because his name was on the account. As for being a father just some of his hit list includes abandoning me in the forest (he literally ran out of through the forest with my brother) when I was 8 or so and drove home, when at home when my mother asked where I was he claimed I just hadn't come in the house yet, I was out there for 2 hours. At a football game he wanted an autograph of a player and he shouted to the player that his son had cancer and was dying to try to get the player's attention, I did not have cancer and aside from slowly dying from the passage of time nothing was speeding up my inevitable demise. Finally the week my grandmother died and my mother was handling the estate, he didn't want to look after me so he called the police and had me detained for the entire time my mother was out of town, since no technical charges were filed I was just held until the hearing which was a couple of extra days after my mother returned and said he made it up just so he didn't have to be in the house and yet the legal system seemed to have no problem with what he did and nothing happened to him for it whilst I was stuck in Juvy I got a corneal abrasion that ended up getting infected and was on antibiotics for a month all because he was a deadbeat.
Story 2: That's actually illegal and despite them robbing you, you CAN be charged for assault for doing that so whilst you think you're safe because they won't report you it just takes one to end up in jail.
3S) How did he think being an AH wouldn't have consequences when/if he pisses the right person off.
1S and 3S are the best of pro and petty revenge.
Story 4: honestly, I think if you just don’t want to be married anymore, you SHOULD have to buy yourself out of the marriage just like any other binding contract.
ETA: I mean I guess if they were both cheating/unhappy, it’s disingenuous to demand money. Just walk away, yea “no contest”.
1st story: I see a fellow Canadian
The first story is exactly what I’m going through right now
Heard first line in the first story and immediately thought of an apologetic devil.
Dude was so tired of getting railed he married a horrible person
That last story was epic 😂
You could say, those porch pirates had a piss poor performance with that one.
Perfect timing for me to go on break and listen to a new video
An abusive Canadian? Is OP’s dad Trudeau?
Re: The Hotel story. After you were done, did everybody clap?
Damn, that hotel has a TON of workers, I'm the only front desk worker at any time I'm working, and we only have 3 housekeepers on average a day
thank you for your vids rSlash, i often listen to them when I come back from school on the bus (3 hours after they are posted)
Aren’t you legally separated if you have divorce papers drawn up? That doesn’t sound right. You’re not living together.
7:35 is so fake. Does anyone really believe the guy would come down "hat in hand" when his key didn't work? He'd be livid, screaming at everyone. So much of the rest of this is suspect, too: OP seems to be the only competent person in the story, including the manager. I'll give OP credit for creating an enjoyable piece of fiction, though!
Just here to tell you how much I appreciate these videos while I am on the road.
today in 'how messy are the US exactly?', I wondered why I never really hear about porch pirates in my home country. "well," I reasoned "there shouldn't be much to steal. when a package can't be delivered, it ends up in a post office where the recipient can come and take it."
then there is a pause in my brain "wait. Does that mean...?"
Do you guys not have this service at all? I've heard that your mail service had been hindered, but is it that bad?
First Story: I revel in seeing fellow survivors drag their toxic, abusive parents through the mud!
Im pretty sure Jessica Vanel made a sketch for that hotel story. Cool to hear it here.
