80 year old lady should've been off the road years prior. Gotta start testing people yearly after a certain age. I've almost been taken out well over 10 times by elderly drivers.
Sucks in the US though, were you need a car to get around. Not having a car basically cuts you off society. That one of the many reasons why car-centric designs can be so dangerous and inhumane.
@@fmleverynameistakenx Yea it's a big issue our public transport sucks if you're not in a city (Even though a lot of our cities have poor pub transport)
In my state, people have to retest every eight years, while people over 65 have to retest every four. I honestly think it's a good idea, although I think once you hit 70 it should be yearly
My mom was at a casino in the 90s and she saw a guy bet $30,000 on roulette. His wife was behind him _screaming_ at him to stop spending their money. Now, I don’t know if this guy ruined his life because my mom left because she didn’t want to see the outcome, but she remembered the desperation in his wife’s face and to my mom it felt like he’d already spent a lot of their money before this $30,000. She didn’t believe the outcome was going to be good.
I almost died because of a drunk driver at the age of 17. He crashed into our vehicle at full speed on a freeway. He got away with bruises and a fine. I lost 3 litres of blood through internal bleeding, had to learn to walk again, had to see my classmates graduate highschool while i wasnt even able to sit in class for more than 2 hrs without excrutiating back pain. There is no karma.
This was depressing...I was expecting more "punched a cop" or "screwed his boss' wife" and less "mom died saving kids" and "forced himself on a person they drugged"
Possibly the most outrageous story I’ve ever read of someone ruining their life in an instant was from Reddit, and a horrifying case of “No good deed goes unpunished”. The OP witnessed a car accident and saved a woman’s life by pulling her out of a burning car. How did the woman thank OP for literally saving her from burning to death? By suing him _multiple times_ for her medical bills and other related damages. She sued him so many times that it financially ruined OP, and ultimately OP lost and was court-ordered to pay her. When the trial was over, OP’s lawyer turned to him and told him he should have left her to die.
@@Quadraxis1 The only thing I could think of was that OP wasn’t trained in first aid and maybe when she was pulled out of the car her injuries became more severe? I believe the other driver died so she couldn’t have sued him.
@@Mia-dt3gl Even then that's just cruel. I just hope it isn't a real story. Like I know humanity is terrible and stuff but there's gotta be a line somewhere :/
My sister and I work in pharmacy, there was one intern she knew that was a week off finishing his internship and about to become a fully qualified pharmacist... he got caught stealing controlled drugs, goodbye to any chance of working in pharmacy for him.
I guess it depends on the country. In the US that happens all the time and the licensing board (especially on the west coast) just looks the other way. I used to have a friend who issued medical licenses for our state. After working that job, he said to pull the medical records and Google reviews before going to ANY doctor. The saddest part, the drug use was the least bad. It was scary all the SA by docs that get let go.
@@RedMountainChaser in my country you actually with the criminal charge get a job ban (small offences with a time limit of up to 10 years, bigger offences like incl. Selling can result in a lige time ban). Also you could be prohibited from working with children (unsupervised), since drug charges and children don't mix well together. But that's a case to case decision.
This girl I graduated with was on the "A" honor roll all through high school. Very pretty, very preppy and popular, but the kindest person you'd ever meet. After high school, she went to college in a major city, and fell victim to a phenomenon a lot of women seem to fall into--she fell head over heels for an absolute loser. Smooth-talking druggie with tattoos all over his face. He got her addicted to heroin pretty quickly. She dropped her high-achieving friend group and started hanging out with the town scum-bags whenever she'd come home. She OD'ed about a year after she graduated high school.
This is no phenomenon. Females are just self saboteurs, and the females of today refuse to better themselves and are not only running western society, but younger females across the world as a result. Oh, well.
The guy who snorted something in a chemistry class probably snorted sodium nitrate, its highly alkaline, so it would have destroyed his sinuses, and it would have hurt, a lot.
I work in a chem lab and one of the chenicals we use is KOH, Potassium Hydroxide. Extremely base, we use it for cleaning glassware exposed to Brain and Heart tissue. We've got it in pellet and powder forms. I once got a bit of the dust from the powder in my nose. Hurt like having a file rammed through my nostril.
so about 30 years ago, my dad knew this guy in college who was actually really smart and funny. he mastered in physics engineering and wanted to be an astronaut. however, he got introduced to partying, alcohol, and maybe drugs. he kept partying and getting drunk, so a month later, he ended up being an addicted mess. his grades were in the toilet, and he was constantly getting into fights, selling bad thing, ect. he either dropped out of school or switched majors. i have no idea but i really hope he is okay and did become an astronaut, since it was probably peer pressure that started it, and people in that situation deserve a second chance.
I felt sad for the kind young man in Story 2. Angry at the Pastor who said that the guy went to Hell because he killed himself. He acted Christlike unlike those other people he went to church with!
That's what the book says. This is exactly why people's stupid "beliefs " are a joke. Always so much room for compromise for something you swear is ironclad law.
9:00 Drunk driving is such an evil and selfish thing to do to others, and it always starts with someone thinking it'll be fine because they can "handle their alcohol". There are some very stupid and selfish people out there.
If you drive drunk and kill someone, you need to be charged with voluntary manslaughter, end of story. A drunk driver messed up the life of a three-year-old boy. The boy's father was killed, and the boy had to live with his abusive mother for years until his grandmother could finally get custody of the child. The boy spends years questioning his gender because the mother never wanted a son and tried to make the boy a girl for years. I know this story because it's MY story. I was the three-year-old boy. All I went through with my mother was directly due a drunk driver killing my father who had sole custody of me until then. He was getting a divorce, but was killed before the divorce was final.
To all of the carjackers out there and thugs, you do realize that drunk drivers are the easiest people of all to carjack and steal from!? And because they are drunk when you physically remove them from their vehicle, they won't have any clue what happened. And because they are drunk, they would be afraid to call the police because they don't want to get arrested themselves. Maybe if drunk drivers are the number one victim of carjackings, people won't want to drive drunk anymore because they are at higher risk of being robbed and carjacked. And as a side note most drunk drivers usually have sufficient amounts of cash in their vehicles.
American police has very low education rate though so many dumbasses can get in, just think for yourself instead of starting of not trusting police when making a judgement
@@widarlundstrom7165you shouldn’t not trust police, overall most of them are probably good people but if you do feel that they aren’t doing the right thing then you should try to object
My good friend died less than a year ago because of not wearing a seatbelt and loosing the control of the car he was driving. His life had been a bit of a mess but was just getting back on track. Survived by two young kids. What a waste.
Had a neighbour who started working at the same company where I worked. Bit awkward but overall quite nice guy, just got married, wife is pregnant etc. An older coworker tried to make himself more important than he actually is and berated him for not coming early enough to work. We start at 7am, my neighbour clocked in at 6:55, which is totally fine and most people clock in at 6:58-59 anyway, but since he was the new guy he listened and decided to go to work 15 mins earlier the next morning... Got hit by an out of control car the moment he stepped outside, while I saw everything from my kitchen window eating fruit loops... Life can be so messed up sometimes.....
If he got hit when he stepped out, it's likely the car was going to hit his home anyway. Dude went out much more peacefully by being hit by the car than from his roof crushing him
If you have any hoarders in your neighborhood, get them addicted to crack and boom they will stop being hoarders because they will have sold everything.
Knew someone on my high school's women's water polo team who was very good. There were even talent scouts coming out to watch and possibly give her an athletic scholarship. However she was on the homecoming court and they were all caught for sneaking alcohol onto the limousine and they were all suspended. Because of her suspension she couldn't play on sports teams for several weeks. The first game she was suspended from was the one the scouts were coming to see. She did not get an athletic scholarship.
I was listening to this while drawing, and was really feeling the depressing voice Then I heard “When you subscribe-“ from a cheerful voice and lemme say it was _jarring_
So many lives could be saved if people just took a few minutes to think things through. There have been so many times where I almost did something stupid (nothing to the degree of this video) and saved myself by just thinking about it.
More reason for there to be a maximum driving age and mandatory retests after a certain age... I'm sure that 80-year-old meant no harm but she had no business behind the wheel.
I'm for mandatory retests and needing Dr. approval but not a maximum age. I think coming up with some arbitrary number and deciding that these people should no longer drive only on the basis of age is discriminatory. The reason they can get away with it for 16 year olds is the constitution doesn't apply to minors.
@@petelee2477 It isn't ageism if it's based on valid science. As people get older, parts of the brain shrink, which affects reaction times, decision making, etc. All valid reasons to require retesting to ensure that they're still in a good enough place mentally to drive safely. I can understand where you're coming from, but it's the same principle behind not letting people under 16 drive because the parts of their brain essential to safe driving haven't fully developed.
@@wetsockfullofhotmeat You're in for a big surprise if you ever visit a rural area. 8 year olds driving tractors and trucks on the farm. If your parents took the time to teach you, your brain would develop faster.
@@wetsockfullofhotmeat I think they assuming you mean ABSOLUTELY NO driving at all if above a certain age, rather than like increased frequency of retesting (where I live you have to get retested like every 4 years or something)
I think the biggest take away is be safe, we are all the same fragile human beings at the end of the day, and to cherish your time.because it could end at any second
Friend of mine bought a used Maserati for the price of the Civic. 6 months later he filed for bankruptcy, destroyed his credit, lost his house, nearly got into a divorce and lost his job because of the car. He sunk so much money into a car that it ruined him financially on top of the sunken cost fallacy in his head. His wife almost filed for divorce until she dragged his ass to therapy because what had happened was a result of a mental breakdown. Amazing what a car will do to someone. But sounds like he already had mental issues and this put the stress level on it. Never seen a car completely destroy someone life.
2 examples. First is my cousin. Had just graduated college, had a great new job, worked there for a few months. One day he showed up drunk to work, cussed out his boss, and got fired. He's now a major alcoholic who vanishes for weeks at a time. Not in school, not holding down a job, nothing. He had so much going for him and threw it all away. It's really sad. Next story is a local news story. 3 teens, who had just turned 18, were driving in a pickup truck and thought it would be a great idea to launch soccer ball sized rocks into the windshields of oncoming traffic. They hit and killed a 20 y/o woman, (and damaged several other cars and traumatized the drivers) and are now facing charges of murder in court. This one makes me feel angry more than sad, honestly. She didn't need to die to their stupidity.
As a heavy gamer I have to say that World of Warcraft isn't the culprit of those students at the end. They should've known better and been disciplined enough to balance life and games. I game for several hours a day and I still go to work and handle my business since, well, they allow me to continue my favorite pass time. 😌
I was gonna say the same thing. Been playing WoW for 16 years and never has it cost me anything in my life but tons of joy and entertainment! Blaming a game for their screw ups is a joke. I can’t stand people that wanna blame any and everything but themselves!!
@@DeryckAllen It's a bit of both. Can't really blame an addict for becoming addicted, not everyone has that resilience taught to them and some people need the escape. Likewise, can't really blame a product many people use without a problem for being addictive. Kind of how alcohol isn't to blame for your problems, but it's also very difficult to quit the habit once you've become dependent. Some people should never drink, some people should never play WoW.
And even if they didn't have the best discipline, it's not like they ruined their lives. Those years weren't wasted. We all pretty much exist to have fun and enjoy life. Years spent enjoying life are never wasted. The only reason people get "good jobs" is to have more money to have more fun, but the sad truth of it is, fun is inherently capped. Some dude having a blast playing Warcraft for 15 bucks a month is having equal fun to a rich guy spending 20,000 dollars on a vacation. Fun is fun. It does help to have enough money for bills and insurance and what not.
The story made the news in my state and is an important fact on why police/public relations should get better. Late one night a man who just got done purchasing Some weed. He was on his way home with a friend when all of a sudden the blue lights lit up and then the friend was getting pulled over. The man got freaked out because of all the news of black gentleman getting shot by police officers. So he decides because he’s scared to run out of fear. Being unfamiliar with the area he’s in he tries to jump over a concrete wall that concrete wall being a guard rail for the interstate the man jumps over the wall and falls 100 feet onto the interstate, killing himself instantly. The worst part of this entire story is that possession and purchasing are both misdemeanors, which only is a couple dollars fine or a day in jail and the reason he was getting pulled over a broken tail light.
Not having auto payment set up for insurance and missing two payments in a row, losing it for the rest of the year. Thus also losing access to the 10k a month medicine I was on for crohns disease, and losing 6 years of healing in a few short months. Also it made me responsible for the last dose I did pick up so that was immediate 10k in debt. My health failing from losing insurance also made me lose my job. Couldn't get insurance through employer mid year because I lost it 2 weeks after employee sign up for insurance had ended. 5 years later my health is still fucked and I am living off my parents because I do not qualify for disability despite being physically unable to work.
Have you thought about getting out of the US and come into a country with huh... Well, not the american relationship with healthcare and insurances? It's genuine curiosity, I hope it's not seen as mean or anything, and I hoep things will get better for you on the medium to long term :
@@marcbuisson2463 it costs a fair bit of money to move out of the country… and then getting a green card or citizenship in the country you’re going to costs money. The poor can’t just leave the country my guy
@@tianamassey8640 Canada is not that far or expensive, no? I know the situation for my country (France), all you need to be in the sécurité sociale is a long term visa, it's a bit less than 100 euros, but I'm in one of the most expensive country of the EU. If you try in Ljubljana or Czech Republic, it'll likely be even less. Either way, the costs when being uninsured will still be significantly lower than insured in the US. The cost of travel will probably be the most expensive, I won't deny it. But if you manage to find a job over here before coming, there'll be no problems, and you can probably even manage to make a deal and get you paid the flight by your business.
5:51 the guy in the story is Aaron akin he won the junior college player of the year award and played horribly in the minors. He is now a assistant coach for a college team in North Carolina
I have a coworker who was held at gunpoint by a drunken US airman and then refused to pay for the delivery he ordered. If the airman was court martialed as he should be, then he pretty much ruined his career and maybe life just because he got really drunk.
Similar to #4 I worked at a private art college in the IT department. I knew the security camera system best so I was who admin would come to for footage. Our student store got some new plush mascots in and during the next month I was asked to find footage of students shoplifting twice. I felt pretty bad because both students were were near graduating with probably over 100k in debt and expelled over stealing a $10 plushie. College was happy to dump them. The students had already spent tons on tuition and now they didn't have to spend the required money on job placement services for them, or risk having them count negatively on their job placement stats.
Lessons to learn from this. 1. If your friends are doing something clearly stupid walk away it’s not worth the fight to convince them not to do whatever they are doing. 2. Don’t do drugs duh. 3. If your life is good keep it that way sure problems will arise but overcome them and get back on track. 4. And lastly the best advice I can give is DONT FUCK UP YOUR LIFE. You only get one shot in life there is no go back to last checkpoint or respawn. Make it count. Source for this advice this 30 year old TH-camr who has seen a lot of crap in life and bad decisions made by close friends where I have seen the outcome and saw how they ruined their life’s.
Man I should’ve I listened to my parents and my true friends who told me to stop hanging out with a certain groups when I was 15. I was really shitty to my disabled dad i never wanted him to talk to me because he would call to check up on me everyday and warn me about people but no I Did drugs alcohol etc then 2 years one of the bad friends got me drunk and tried to rape me when I was 17 (im a guy btw) literally changed my life for the better apologized to my dad and we talk everyday and I got to college now…even tho I was in the shit there’s always time to get out but definitely not much time
Sometimes you dont know what you could've dine differently until its too late. Sometimes you make mistakes or shit happens through no fault of your own. Its inevitable.
And then there's me, who ruined my own life - not through my own will but from my body deciding to destroy itself and let the long-undiagnosed chronic condition win. Dropped out of school. Am too sick and tired to do anything much more than online. Endless symptoms from chronic pain to fatigue to migraines to GI stuff to fainting to runaway allergies to constant injuries to nosebleeds to.. it doesn't ever end. It gets worse every day. The clinic I finally get into tomorrow after a 10 month wait may be able to do something more for me, but I have no idea how my condition will progress and if there is anything that can help me now that my decline has started. Literally overnight, I went from sucessful in school, having already battled through what I thought was the worst part of my life (mental stuff, abuse, etc), to waking up with some virus that my body overreacted to and oops, now it's never going away. I really want to go to college, live alone, learn to drive, date someone, live a young adult life, and that may never happen for me. My current trajectory is stuck at home relying on my parents until they die, then being moved into a "home" where I'll stay with no one to visit me (sis wants me dead anyways LOL) until I die.
Hey, I know this is months late and you may never read this but I had something similar happen to me. A surgery that was supposed to remove something worrying ended up giving me constant nerve pain in my leg. It was temporarily fixed just for near-daily migraines to kick in barely a year later, then the nerve pain is back in full force and I'm basically bedridden for 22 hours a day. On top of so many other things that spiraled out of control or developed during that time. I feel for you, and you're not alone. There are resources and groups out there for people like us who are stuck at home with difficult conditions. I hope you find some of them and at least find a sense of community and people who are empathetic and understanding; doing that helped me even through the very darkest of times. I wish you well.
Some of these are accidents and it's sad what happened to them... but the rest are just... so dumb. I struggle to wrap my head around how people can make such bad decisions and what, think everything is gonna go in their favor!?!
If you guys wanted to know, the baseball player name is Jeffery Allison and was actually drafted 16th overall in the 2003 MLB draft. He seems to have his life back together though so that’s good.
Just recently found out his sentence so here goes. Had a repeat shoplifter in our store. Told him if I saw him again then police would be called. He tried again. Police was called. Bit both me and the security guard and threatened the guard with a dull knife. Now looking at 15 yrs
My grandpa was a smart happy go lucky person until his alhimezers got really bad and I think he got a stroke and is now in a nursing home at high fall risk and can barely function and I cannot tell the similarites between him 2 years ago and now. I cannot visit him without wanting to cry. He was over 75 at the time of his fall and possible stroke.
Didn’t see this, because it was 20 years before I was born. My grandfather (my mom’s stepfather) told me this story. Larry Wayne Mahoney was a man in Carrollton, Kentucky, who in 1988, crashed into a large bus while driving drunk. He hit the bus in the gas tank causing the bus to catch fire. On this particular bus, the gas tank was underneath the front right side of the passenger compartment, so the fire spread through the bus, which was at full capacity. 27 of the 66 people on board died of third and fourth degree burns. Mahoney was arrested after waking up in the hospital. He was 34 at the time, and if he’s still alive (which I seriously doubt he is) he’s in his late 60s or early 70s now.
All of us, as a nation(and internationally), have seen Bryan Kohberger go from a promising career in Criminology to a serial killer over night. Does that count?
Yup drunk driving isn’t anything to trifle with at all. I’ve had a single drink or two beers over a few hour period and then drove afterwards but if I’m buzzed at all I will find something to do to burn time without driving, walk home, and/or sleep in the car as I’ve done a fair amount of time in the backseat with my keys in the glovebox until I sobered up in the morning (stood up outside the car to actually know I was sober from having coordinated motor skills & physically moving around).
If you play them MMORPG’s you need to make sure that you’re doing it correctly where it actually makes you money, use scripts/programs to work up skills for characters/building accounts to sell that have been commissioned, and making real life money off of the game. I had a few friends who started playing Ultima Online in 1998 and they spent all there time doing that and never hung out with our group. One day blazing at my friends house they had me check out the game where you could kill/murder other players and take everything from their characters corpse. I thought that was hilarious and could be fun so I started to get into the game. My friends all played it the normal way but I did some research to see how to work skills the fastest/easiest/cheapest methods to do the work in game and found an application that would run written scripts that would work any skill that you needed to do, collect any type of material that you need to collect, and make any type of items that you need made, I even had a script that would purchase everything from a towns faction vendors that had their prices at -30% tithe rate and would get everything for dirt cheap to either use it for materials or take it to another town to sell at a faction vendor that had the tax/tithe rate set at +300% to make massive profits, and whenever a duplication bug came out we would exploit it to create billions to trillions of 1,000,000 gold piece checks that we would purchase items in game and sell them online for real cash. The most I ever made from the game in a month was $12,000 at the beginning when gold was still selling for $25USD per million gold check on eBay. Our group/guild/clan ended up getting banned from eBay because we where a driving force for the collapse of the economy on the game but they had made it so item based that it was only good for making extra cash because the pvp quality was so poor & no where near the size of the battles that there was on the games early years. I was always working at least 3-5 accounts 24/7 on my computer by running multiple clients & scripts simultaneously. The accounts was the primary source for the games income but there was plenty of other time sensitive boons of capital that would come up when the opportunities presented themselves. I can honestly see how it can suck the life out of people if they allow it to do so. I always made sure I was doing plenty of stuff to have fun out in the real world and would game on days with poor weather, friends all planned to game together (end up playing a range of games usually), and at the end of the day to chill before crashing a bit & to make sure scripts where all running good overnight.
One of my coworkers had this dream of owning a new ferrari sports car. He saved for buying such a car for over 10 years. When he ordered the car he was telling everybody when it would arrive and was really stoked for finally getting it as there was a waiting time of some months. On the day he got the car, he hopped in, took off and crashed the ferrari in the very first corner. Car was totalled, coworker was in hospital for a weak, but gladly no severe injuries. Still 10 years of saving up money gone in less than 5 minutes.
This one guy in Vet School shot himself 3 days before graduation. I don’t know why, nobody does. He was a great guy apparently (didn’t know him personally, was told by someone). I just don’t understand how you can put yourself through 4 years of one of the most arduous programs in medicine and then just end it all 3 days before.
For the fifth story, those cops and the nurse should have been fired for negligence and be sent to jail for negligent homicide, on top of being forced to attend the funeral of the person they held in custody. And once they are released from jail, they shouldn’t be allowed to find another job except in the lowliest of jobs (it should be something that not even those in *poverty* would want to be employed at).
If the cops suspected the dude with the punctured lung was drunk, why couldn’t they just make him blow on a breathalyzer or walk on a straight line? Even if the probably did that, those are one of the MOST incompetent police and nurses. A life ruined by tough luck and incompetent people

@@mishagaming1075 Between government handouts, friends/family helping out, and child support, if she's single there's a good likelihood she won't actually need to work at all. If she's married then it doesn't matter so much. As far as I'm concerned women who have children very young are much better off in the long term than those who hold off and "start their career". I was 20 when I had my first, and being from a country town I had at least ten or more female friends who also had children the same age or younger. We are all 35 now and our oldest is two years off finishing high school. Some of those women decided to be a career wife, and went on to have four or five children and survived on one median wage. Some of those women had dreams and aspirations beyond the home and by the time the youngest is in primary school they could go to uni and study or explore their interests themselves, with the 20 hours a week they have free time. On the flip side, many of my friends had children within the last three years. Most of the married ones, actually. They went to uni, became bigots, found their nice guy and carefully curated their future. Now they are 35 and have toddlers running around, and even if they only stick to one child they will be at least 50 before their children move out of home. They will be tired and stressed, their marriage will fall apart, and their career that was put on hold will be difficult or impossible to pick up if they take two years off, so they have to go back to work while the baby is still breastfeeding. What do you think is the better outcome? I for one am looking forward to getting a nice expensive car the year my youngest leaves home.
this sounds weird but when my mom was a kid, her and my aunt would go hang out with the old neighbour. he was in his 70s or 80s and they were around 10 she said. theyd play cards and nothing weird or perverted. she said he was alone and lived in a house he made himself. the one day he committed suicide with a shotgun and he knew theyd be the ones to find him. and thats what happened my mom ended up finding him in the sunroom in his chair.
i recently went through clonazepam withdrawal after taking it for about a month or so. i was prescribed it for a multitude of mental health disorders. i took them too quickly, about 3 per day. the withdrawals were hell. i nearly passed out about 4 times, i could barely stand, didn't eat, etc. i haven't taken it for two months, and i'm never going back.
It just happened. About a month ago, my great aunt, who wasn't a really decent person already and one heck of an attention seeker, but still not absolutely awful, well she decided she needed more attention. So she badly overdosed Robax (the painkillers). Result: she did three hospitals, in a coma. She then finally woke up against all odds, but with her kidneys and liver completely done for. Because of substance abuse, she wasn't eligible for a transplant. So yesterday, she just fell back into a coma. I think she's hours from dying now and while it messes me up to think about it, it doesn't make me quite sad. She ran after it, she yearned for it
The young guy dying in cop custody is another product of American health care or the lack thereof. If someone has an accident in Germany, no matter if car, bike, motorcycle, and people might have been harmed, bystanders or latest the arriving police/firefighters always call an ambulance to check on you. It doesn't matter if you appear to be a drunk driver, that is even more of an indication to check on you, you might not show all pain. When the medics cleared you (probably after a visit to the ER), you may get arrested. I'm pretty sure though you wouldn't even get arrested for drunk driving if you didn't hurt anyone, you'd just get a letter later for a possible trial. You only get arrested straight away if you are a direct danger to the public. Anyways, in situations like these, our motto is "better safe than sorry", something American Police Officers seem to have never heard of, considering how many people die in their custody for various reasons

I don't like that "his whole life went to garbage" talking. Unless a person is dead, he/she can still change his life and make it better. I also fucked up big time in my life and wish I could turn back time (the love of my life left me half a year ago , because of really dumb shit I did) and even tho it feels like I will never be able to feel happiness again, I want to believe that one day it will be better. I refuse to just give up.

In highschool, my sophomore or junior year, the highschool senior party was interrupted by the fact that a young man died by being swept by an unkown current in the lake they decided to sneak off to. The hear before that or the semseter before that another teen died from driving while dehydrated and sleep deprived he passed out at the wheel and hit a semi head on
Honestly, older drivers are the most dangerous people on the road, they are right up there with drunk drivers. I personally know three people who were involved in serious car accidents all because of older drivers who are simply no longer capable of controlling their vehicles correctly. One of my friends is in the National Guard, he is a big strong guy. Has always been incredibly fit, he was at a gas station one day, walking out to his car. He was walking in front of the parking spaces to get to his car when an old lady hit the gas to accelerate instead of reverse out of her spot. The tire of her care crushed his leg all the way up to the knee. When she realized what she was doing instead of hitting the breaks, she panicked and just hit the gas harder, causing even more damage. My friend has had multiple surgeries over the years, he cant run anymore, and has spinal issues too. He can barely lift weights at the gym without something going wrong. This little old lady basically f**ed his entire life. Another story is about my own grandmother, she was a wonderful person. She was my babysitter when I grew up as her house was near my elementry school so I would go there after school until my parents could pick me up. She was a former english teacher and librarian too. She was such a wonderful person, but she was old even when I was kid. She had adopted my dad, so her and my grandfather were both up there in age. She proved why older people shouldnt drive when, one day after she had picked me up from school and parked in her drive way, she didnt put the car in park, I think she put it in neutral. I hopped out and started walking in the house but when she went to get out the car started rolling forward, (the driveway was on a slight downward angle,) she fell as she was getting out and the rear tire rolled over her. My grandfather, who we later learned had Alzheimer's and Dementia, though at the time it wasn't too bad because my grandmother covered a lot of it for him, didnt know what to do. He just started talking to himself as my grandma was laying there unconscious. My neighbor, who was my dads best friend growing up and knew all of us like we were family, was out cutting the grass and noticed what happened, he dropped everything and sprinted over, he pulled her out from under the car, called 911, and started doing CPR, he kept her alive until the ambulance showed up but she was brain dead when she got to the hospital and my dad had to pull her life support after a week or 2. I think I was like seven or eight at the time, I still choke up thinking about it. My grandpas dementia got REALLY bad after all that and dad ended up pulling a fuse from my grandpa's truck to keep him from trying to drive off. But yeah, moral of the story is, after a certain age, dont drive. Even if you think your good to go, you really, really shouldnt.
My buddy finished school to be a pharmacist at a really good school and during covid stole 2000$ from a friend serving over seas and the cops told him if he returned the money and apologized they would drop the charges but he never did. His dad died a few years ago. His mom put a gun to his head he's a drug addict that will never be able to work in pharmaceuticals but growing up he was straight As it all went to shit when his dad died in his 40s from being a chain smoker
A couple of local high school girls got caught up with some asshole 25-year-old a year or two back. I don't know the full story, but I do know the end of it: guy was driving the girls home from a party, all three of them incredibly drunk (and I think the dude was high as well, but I'm not certain), and crashed into a concrete bridge barrier going way too fast. One of the girls died and the other ended up in a coma for weeks, and needed to undergo extensive medical care and physical therapy for months afterward. The driver was fine, though, because karma is a damned lie. Guy's rotting in prison now, thank fuck, but I feel so awful for those girls. My mom was talking about it with me once and kept saying how stupid those girls were for getting into the situation they did, what terrible decisions they made. But I just feel bad for them. Sure, they didn't make good decisions to end up like that, but teenagers should be able to be stupid and fuck up without ruining their lives. That's what being a teenager is about. I never made choices as bad as those as a teen myself, but I did still make some bad ones, and I'm lucky my bad choices never screwed me over so seriously. It's so easy for teens to fall in with the wrong people for a sense of validation and acceptance, and I'm so sorry that these girls paid for their mistake with their health and a life.
Coworker and I were supposed to go to a conference together, but I got a call the day of- saying he had been in an accident. Fast forward to a week later when I get back, I find out that the night of the accident he had gone out drinking with his cousins. Coworker was the driver, he had overshot a curve and plowed his car into a tree. Two cousins were ejected and one was sliced across the belly. (Un)lucky for them there had been a trooper behind them and had had been about to pull them over when the wreck occurred. The last two occupants were pulled out as the car caught fire. One of the cousins died a week later from complications. What’s worse, the trooper had a college intern with him who got the entire accident on video.
I have a friend who routinely self-sabotages herself by getting into relationships with poorly chosen men. She’s been divorced three times now. Her life isn’t ruined and she has gotten herself out of abusive relationships, she just struggles with being by herself. Definitely has cost her a lot of money and of course, heartache. I’ve had to distance myself from her in the past two years because I was getting tired of her asking for my advice and doing the opposite.
As a Christian who is still reading through the Bible I have not found anywhere in the bible where it says suicides go to hell. The closest you get is Judas and he didn't go to hell because of of suicide or betrayal but instead because he didn't receive and accept the gift of Jesus. It really upsets me when churches make that claim. Side note Christianity is supposed to be about love not fear, quite possibly the most important words that followers should keep in mind is he who is without sin cast the first stone. We all are sinners, so no one should condemn another for sin. Not if you're a druggie, a thief, trans, bi, gay, or etc. Your sins are between you and God. Jesus would rather us love each other instead of condemn each other.
I had been best friends with this girl ever since i moved here, i was in pre-school, i got put in her class and we hit off pretty well. After 4 year we finished elementary, still best-friends and that continued for all of 5th grade plus the summer in-between 5th and 6th. Then out of nowhere we kinda cut contact, i wasn't too against it, ik we were both busy, or so i thought. After maybe 2 or 3 months she calls me to hang out??? I accepted ofc, wanting to see what's going on with her. Turns out for the few months I haven't seen her she has absolutely went downhill, at the age of 12 this girl smokes, drinks and hangs out with a large group of friends 75% of which are w33d smokers. She now thinks i'm a total "NPC" for having a regular life "Wait you mean to tell me you read books??? That's the biggest NPC thing you can do" "So you stay at home all day and play on your phone and study? NPC, everybody!" "What do you mean you have to be at home by 6pm? I stay until 12? What kind of NPC are you seriously". It was sooo annoying, and i was genuinely disappointed in her. I don't know how she is now or what she is doing, but i don't really care, of course i am worried, but she can't be helped if she doesn't want to be helped.
I had a head-on collision with a truck two years ago, my old Toyota folded up like an accordion and I got out of the wreck almost on my own. why you ask? Of the whole accident, I only broke the toe on my right foot from applying the brake. Yeah, "only" that... people couldn't believe that I survived it, I guess it's still slowly getting to me, although it's really hard. on the one hand, my life changed 180, I stopped chasing after material things, for example, but since then I have a problem with just living life. I feel like I'm watching a TV series or playing a game (sometimes the feeling was so terrible that I felt like skipping a phase in my life by simply using the magic skip button) I have been diagnosed with depression and ptsd. The only thing that helped me get back on my feet at the moment was weed. My only fear is that I might be addicted to it, but is it bad to be addicted to medicine? the worst thing is that in my country it is very stigmatized and it probably takes some time for people to change their attitude to it. I am very glad that my mother is beginning to understand a little more about this subject. it's a slow process, but it's moving steadily forward. I've been dealing with a relapse of depression since October, I left the capital with my fiancée for the countryside in August, thinking it would help me. If it wasn't for her, I might not be here. She is my best friend and I love her so much and I'm glad she's with me. however, I'm also afraid that I might hurt her in some way because of my ailments, because that's one of the reasons why I'm afraid to start a family. at the moment, my condition is additionally affected by the lack of my own place (I live with my grandparents together with my fiancée, we supposedly have a whole floor to ourselves, but it's not the same as having our own house) and the fact that I am unemployed. this November was the worst month of my life, but I'm glad I survived it. why was it the worst you ask? by irresponsibility and stupidity. I took the mushrooms, a bit too much and it got into my psyche too much that I was afraid to even talk about it. I felt like I was completely shattered and had to learn all the basics from scratch. on the one hand, you can think that it's all good, I'll put my life back together, but on the other hand, I just dream that one day my problems with sleeping, eating and feelings will disappear, because for so long I can't deal with it alone. i am attending therapy btw so keep your fingers crossed for me. Remember, the worst thing is to do NOTHING, although sometimes there is no other way. sorry for poor english, i'm not a native speaker, i use google translate because it's hard for me to describe it in english.
I remember a story in my country of a father who had to go to the US to get his daughter (who was in university) body because she got killed by a drunk driver. She was extremely smart and had a lot of awards when leaving high school and got scholarship in the US. She was making stores runs for her dorm probably. Where a guy rams into her at an intersection (i think) and killed her.
I know 2 guys who did dumb things 1.Somebody I knew had child adult content (he was 14 when it happened) he showed it to someone and got expelled from school immediately, idk what happened next 2.Friend cheated during a national exam (most important of the national exams) idk what happened
All the overtaking unto upcoming traffic made me remember that one time we drove at the 2-lane countryside roads. Fuck I'm not used to the speeds plus the windy roads. The car we were following was going like 100kmph and we were getting overtaken like hell. We were losing the car we were following so we had to speed the fuck up and overtake. Mind you we are in the wilderness, 2-lane road at night. Nothing bad happened but it was some scary shit, don't wanna drive on those roads again.
I have a story. When I move out. Rent a house. There was a friendly old man smiling and talk to me everytime we met. I even gave him some of my food everytime I have one and happily take it. But tragic happened when I met him last week. We talk a usual way and separate few moments. But when I came back carrying my food and a gallon of water. A accident happened in my back. There was a stupid motor cycle driver drive too fast and he hit a man who was crossing in a pedestrian lane. When I saw the victim laying on the street. I have very shock. It turns out it was the friendly old man who was hit by the motor cycle. I couldn't help but froze and stared at the man who I treat like my own grandpa too. Right now he was in a comatose and I wish him well and I hope I'll see him again and talk like old times.
"I always feel like there´s more i could´ve done". Lmao nah, should´ve went to the funeral with a "Told you so Moron"- shirt on. Natural selection at work right there.

If you work in a jail, cover your ass should mean take every medical complaint serious. If someone says they can't breathe, do your job and make sure they're ok.

I had recently reconnected with one of my best friends from grade school and was asking how everyone was. Pretty much all of them got into smoking weed and partying, but they weren't bad people. I then asked how his family was and when I got to his older half-sister, he just refused to talk about it/tried changing the subject. I picked up what he was doing pretty fast and tried convincing him to tell me (we'd known each other for 8 years at that point so I figured he'd trust me), and he gave up hiding his evasion, but still didn't want to tell me. I say okay and we act like I never asked. The next day, though, my curiosity go the best of me and I pushed further, to which he finally caved. Apparently his sister ran off with his stepmom and now they basically live like stereotypical trailer people (filthy house, drugs all the time, etc). That was 2 years ago and I still regret forcing it out of him. Hope he's doing well.
I Thecnically ruined my life cause of a panic attack Ok In 8th grade my parents changed me of school because my group of “friends” that used to bully me and my sister constantly both in the internet and when we met, at first I thought that they were actually my friends, but seriously, what kind of friends call your own sister annoying and then blame you for it, anyways, I entered the new school and met the most kind and heart full people I’ve ever known, they were so kind with me and it was thanks to them that i realized how awful were those “friends” with me, we were all very close, we went together to almost everything, cinema, shopping, etc. I was really relieved that my life finally had a good turn, but then the panic attack came, shortly after I left the other school I had the worsts panic attacks ever, I used to tremble a lot to the point that I look like I was convulsing, I cried out loud and even screamed out of nowhere, and the worst of all, while the panic attack it’s still going no one can talk to me, no one can touch me because I would either rage or cry louder, all of this because of those “friends”, the panic attacks happen if something or someone reminds me of them, for example the smallest attack could be cause by simply watching volleyball (because they usually played it) and the worst panic attacks are can be caused by telling me to move or to low my voice, since they used to scream at me or constantly tell me to move apart and even shut me up, ok now that I explained further I can actually tell what happened, so I went to a friends house and we were all watching movies, we did karaoke and we ate nachos in the afternoon, everything fine from there until the songs started, some songs were the ones the friends from the other school used to listen to, I had to learned about those songs if I wanted to stay with them during the time, so that was the first strike, I started feeling uncomfortable and even tried not to listen to it, but it wasn’t enough to cause me an attack, then the second and the detonating of it, we were watching I think a song I don’t really remember, but what I remember is that one of them “told me to move”. My body froze, the trembling started and I tried to go to bathroom to calm myself down, i was there for a couple of minutes until I was relaxed enough to come back, but that wasn’t clearly “enough” I was still on the verge of tears when I came back I tried acting normal, i sat there for a second and then it started, I started crying in silence trying to calm down and come back to normal and to keep with the “party”, then everyone noticed that I was crying, they started asking me what what’s wrong with me and everyone started to ask me, I tried to stay as calm as posible, but then I just exploded, I said out loud “EVERYONE TREATS ME LIKE SHIT”… everything went down from there, they stopped talking to me and every time I try to get close to them it’s just all tense and awfully awkward, now I eat most of the time alone and my sister comes by to stay with me during the recesses, my sister still eats with them but she usually worries about me so she constantly asks me if I’m fine, I always tell her I’m fine but honestly I hate every second of recess, being alone and having the school psychologist to talk to me almost every recess, it’s just awful, if any of the girls of the other school is reading this, congrats ! You ruined my life once again
80 year old lady should've been off the road years prior. Gotta start testing people yearly after a certain age. I've almost been taken out well over 10 times by elderly drivers.
I have to drive around elderly driver's mistakes at least once a week
Sucks in the US though, were you need a car to get around. Not having a car basically cuts you off society. That one of the many reasons why car-centric designs can be so dangerous and inhumane.
@@fmleverynameistakenx Yea it's a big issue our public transport sucks if you're not in a city (Even though a lot of our cities have poor pub transport)
In my state, people have to retest every eight years, while people over 65 have to retest every four. I honestly think it's a good idea, although I think once you hit 70 it should be yearly
Retests for everybody is a good thing. Old people just need more frequent testing.
My mom was at a casino in the 90s and she saw a guy bet $30,000 on roulette. His wife was behind him _screaming_ at him to stop spending their money. Now, I don’t know if this guy ruined his life because my mom left because she didn’t want to see the outcome, but she remembered the desperation in his wife’s face and to my mom it felt like he’d already spent a lot of their money before this $30,000. She didn’t believe the outcome was going to be good.
פף
I doubt either of the outcomes would have been "good", tbh
Some people just won't heed the old expression: the house always wins
I guess this was already the bad outcome. Whatever happened it was already bad.

I almost died because of a drunk driver at the age of 17. He crashed into our vehicle at full speed on a freeway. He got away with bruises and a fine. I lost 3 litres of blood through internal bleeding, had to learn to walk again, had to see my classmates graduate highschool while i wasnt even able to sit in class for more than 2 hrs without excrutiating back pain.

This was depressing...I was expecting more "punched a cop" or "screwed his boss' wife" and less "mom died saving kids" and "forced himself on a person they drugged"
Same. A lot of these weren't people ruining their own lives but people having their lives ruin by other people.
Possibly the most outrageous story I’ve ever read of someone ruining their life in an instant was from Reddit, and a horrifying case of “No good deed goes unpunished”. The OP witnessed a car accident and saved a woman’s life by pulling her out of a burning car. How did the woman thank OP for literally saving her from burning to death? By suing him _multiple times_ for her medical bills and other related damages. She sued him so many times that it financially ruined OP, and ultimately OP lost and was court-ordered to pay her. When the trial was over, OP’s lawyer turned to him and told him he should have left her to die.
i'm fairly skeptical of this because of the "good samaritan" law that protects people from this exact thing.
@@jonathankydd1816 Depends on the area.
I find that very hard to believe. On what grounds does she have to be able to sue a witness who saved her from a crash they didn't cause?
@@Quadraxis1 The only thing I could think of was that OP wasn’t trained in first aid and maybe when she was pulled out of the car her injuries became more severe? I believe the other driver died so she couldn’t have sued him.
@@Mia-dt3gl Even then that's just cruel. I just hope it isn't a real story. Like I know humanity is terrible and stuff but there's gotta be a line somewhere :/
My sister and I work in pharmacy, there was one intern she knew that was a week off finishing his internship and about to become a fully qualified pharmacist... he got caught stealing controlled drugs, goodbye to any chance of working in pharmacy for him.
I guess it depends on the country. In the US that happens all the time and the licensing board (especially on the west coast) just looks the other way. I used to have a friend who issued medical licenses for our state. After working that job, he said to pull the medical records and Google reviews before going to ANY doctor. The saddest part, the drug use was the least bad. It was scary all the SA by docs that get let go.
@@RedMountainChaser in my country you actually with the criminal charge get a job ban (small offences with a time limit of up to 10 years, bigger offences like incl. Selling can result in a lige time ban). Also you could be prohibited from working with children (unsupervised), since drug charges and children don't mix well together. But that's a case to case decision.
This girl I graduated with was on the "A" honor roll all through high school. Very pretty, very preppy and popular, but the kindest person you'd ever meet. After high school, she went to college in a major city, and fell victim to a phenomenon a lot of women seem to fall into--she fell head over heels for an absolute loser. Smooth-talking druggie with tattoos all over his face. He got her addicted to heroin pretty quickly. She dropped her high-achieving friend group and started hanging out with the town scum-bags whenever she'd come home. She OD'ed about a year after she graduated high school.
God, that's fucked.
This is no phenomenon. Females are just self saboteurs, and the females of today refuse to better themselves and are not only running western society, but younger females across the world as a result. Oh, well.

so about 30 years ago, my dad knew this guy in college who was actually really smart and funny. he mastered in physics engineering and wanted to be an astronaut. however, he got introduced to partying, alcohol, and maybe drugs. he kept partying and getting drunk, so a month later, he ended up being an addicted mess. his grades were in the toilet, and he was constantly getting into fights, selling bad thing, ect. he either dropped out of school or switched majors. i have no idea but i really hope he is okay and did become an astronaut, since it was probably peer pressure that started it, and people in that situation deserve a second chance.

9:00 Drunk driving is such an evil and selfish thing to do to others, and it always starts with someone thinking it'll be fine because they can "handle their alcohol". There are some very stupid and selfish people out there.
If you drive drunk and kill someone, you need to be charged with voluntary manslaughter, end of story. A drunk driver messed up the life of a three-year-old boy. The boy's father was killed, and the boy had to live with his abusive mother for years until his grandmother could finally get custody of the child. The boy spends years questioning his gender because the mother never wanted a son and tried to make the boy a girl for years.
I know this story because it's MY story. I was the three-year-old boy. All I went through with my mother was directly due a drunk driver killing my father who had sole custody of me until then. He was getting a divorce, but was killed before the divorce was final.
To all of the carjackers out there and thugs, you do realize that drunk drivers are the easiest people of all to carjack and steal from!?
And because they are drunk when you physically remove them from their vehicle, they won't have any clue what happened. And because they are drunk, they would be afraid to call the police because they don't want to get arrested themselves.
Maybe if drunk drivers are the number one victim of carjackings, people won't want to drive drunk anymore because they are at higher risk of being robbed and carjacked.
And as a side note most drunk drivers usually have sufficient amounts of cash in their vehicles.
I dunno if you're trolling but I can't argue with the logic even though it's not right to either carjack or drive under any influences, kupo.

My good friend died less than a year ago because of not wearing a seatbelt and loosing the control of the car he was driving. His life had been a bit of a mess but was just getting back on track. Survived by two young kids. What a waste.
Had a neighbour who started working at the same company where I worked.
Bit awkward but overall quite nice guy, just got married, wife is pregnant etc.
An older coworker tried to make himself more important than he actually is and berated him for not coming early enough to work.

Knew someone on my high school's women's water polo team who was very good. There were even talent scouts coming out to watch and possibly give her an athletic scholarship. However she was on the homecoming court and they were all caught for sneaking alcohol onto the limousine and they were all suspended. Because of her suspension she couldn't play on sports teams for several weeks. The first game she was suspended from was the one the scouts were coming to see. She did not get an athletic scholarship.

More reason for there to be a maximum driving age and mandatory retests after a certain age... I'm sure that 80-year-old meant no harm but she had no business behind the wheel.
I'm for mandatory retests and needing Dr. approval but not a maximum age. I think coming up with some arbitrary number and deciding that these people should no longer drive only on the basis of age is discriminatory.
The reason they can get away with it for 16 year olds is the constitution doesn't apply to minors.
@@petelee2477 It isn't ageism if it's based on valid science. As people get older, parts of the brain shrink, which affects reaction times, decision making, etc. All valid reasons to require retesting to ensure that they're still in a good enough place mentally to drive safely. I can understand where you're coming from, but it's the same principle behind not letting people under 16 drive because the parts of their brain essential to safe driving haven't fully developed.
@@wetsockfullofhotmeat You're in for a big surprise if you ever visit a rural area. 8 year olds driving tractors and trucks on the farm. If your parents took the time to teach you, your brain would develop faster.
@@wetsockfullofhotmeat I think they assuming you mean ABSOLUTELY NO driving at all if above a certain age, rather than like increased frequency of retesting (where I live you have to get retested like every 4 years or something)

Road rage at someone, speed then crash into someone else resulting in the road rager dying in the car accident. The people in the other car? Uninjured
Friend of mine bought a used Maserati for the price of the Civic. 6 months later he filed for bankruptcy, destroyed his credit, lost his house, nearly got into a divorce and lost his job because of the car. He sunk so much money into a car that it ruined him financially on top of the sunken cost fallacy in his head. His wife almost filed for divorce until she dragged his ass to therapy because what had happened was a result of a mental breakdown. Amazing what a car will do to someone. But sounds like he already had mental issues and this put the stress level on it. Never seen a car completely destroy someone life.
2 examples. First is my cousin. Had just graduated college, had a great new job, worked there for a few months. One day he showed up drunk to work, cussed out his boss, and got fired. He's now a major alcoholic who vanishes for weeks at a time. Not in school, not holding down a job, nothing. He had so much going for him and threw it all away. It's really sad.
Next story is a local news story. 3 teens, who had just turned 18, were driving in a pickup truck and thought it would be a great idea to launch soccer ball sized rocks into the windshields of oncoming traffic. They hit and killed a 20 y/o woman, (and damaged several other cars and traumatized the drivers) and are now facing charges of murder in court. This one makes me feel angry more than sad, honestly. She didn't need to die to their stupidity.

I game for several hours a day and I still go to work and handle my business since, well, they allow me to continue my favorite pass time. 😌
I was gonna say the same thing. Been playing WoW for 16 years and never has it cost me anything in my life but tons of joy and entertainment! Blaming a game for their screw ups is a joke. I can’t stand people that wanna blame any and everything but themselves!!
@@DeryckAllen We are definitely in agreement. Keep on showing the world that responsible gamers exist.
@@DeryckAllen It's a bit of both. Can't really blame an addict for becoming addicted, not everyone has that resilience taught to them and some people need the escape. Likewise, can't really blame a product many people use without a problem for being addictive. Kind of how alcohol isn't to blame for your problems, but it's also very difficult to quit the habit once you've become dependent. Some people should never drink, some people should never play WoW.
And even if they didn't have the best discipline, it's not like they ruined their lives. Those years weren't wasted.
We all pretty much exist to have fun and enjoy life. Years spent enjoying life are never wasted.
The only reason people get "good jobs" is to have more money to have more fun, but the sad truth of it is, fun is inherently capped. Some dude having a blast playing Warcraft for 15 bucks a month is having equal fun to a rich guy spending 20,000 dollars on a vacation. Fun is fun.
It does help to have enough money for bills and insurance and what not.
That's horrifying how our pleasures can actually turn against us. Let us say it: most things are for humans, but not too much
The story made the news in my state and is an important fact on why police/public relations should get better.
Late one night a man who just got done purchasing Some weed. He was on his way home with a friend when all of a sudden the blue lights lit up and then the friend was getting pulled over. The man got freaked out because of all the news of black gentleman getting shot by police officers. So he decides because he’s scared to run out of fear. Being unfamiliar with the area he’s in he tries to jump over a concrete wall that concrete wall being a guard rail for the interstate the man jumps over the wall and falls 100 feet onto the interstate, killing himself instantly.
The worst part of this entire story is that possession and purchasing are both misdemeanors, which only is a couple dollars fine or a day in jail and the reason he was getting pulled over a broken tail light.
Not having auto payment set up for insurance and missing two payments in a row, losing it for the rest of the year. Thus also losing access to the 10k a month medicine I was on for crohns disease, and losing 6 years of healing in a few short months. Also it made me responsible for the last dose I did pick up so that was immediate 10k in debt.
My health failing from losing insurance also made me lose my job. Couldn't get insurance through employer mid year because I lost it 2 weeks after employee sign up for insurance had ended.
5 years later my health is still fucked and I am living off my parents because I do not qualify for disability despite being physically unable to work.
Jesus man I’m really sorry to hear that..
Have you thought about getting out of the US and come into a country with huh... Well, not the american relationship with healthcare and insurances? It's genuine curiosity, I hope it's not seen as mean or anything, and I hoep things will get better for you on the medium to long term :
this scares the crap out of me because it is 100% something i would do
@@marcbuisson2463 it costs a fair bit of money to move out of the country… and then getting a green card or citizenship in the country you’re going to costs money. The poor can’t just leave the country my guy
@@tianamassey8640 Canada is not that far or expensive, no? I know the situation for my country (France), all you need to be in the sécurité sociale is a long term visa, it's a bit less than 100 euros, but I'm in one of the most expensive country of the EU. If you try in Ljubljana or Czech Republic, it'll likely be even less. Either way, the costs when being uninsured will still be significantly lower than insured in the US. The cost of travel will probably be the most expensive, I won't deny it. But if you manage to find a job over here before coming, there'll be no problems, and you can probably even manage to make a deal and get you paid the flight by your business.
5:51 the guy in the story is Aaron akin he won the junior college player of the year award and played horribly in the minors. He is now a assistant coach for a college team in North Carolina
I have a coworker who was held at gunpoint by a drunken US airman and then refused to pay for the delivery he ordered. If the airman was court martialed as he should be, then he pretty much ruined his career and maybe life just because he got really drunk.
The first story is why driving tests should be necessary after a certain age.
Similar to #4 I worked at a private art college in the IT department. I knew the security camera system best so I was who admin would come to for footage. Our student store got some new plush mascots in and during the next month I was asked to find footage of students shoplifting twice. I felt pretty bad because both students were were near graduating with probably over 100k in debt and expelled over stealing a $10 plushie. College was happy to dump them. The students had already spent tons on tuition and now they didn't have to spend the required money on job placement services for them, or risk having them count negatively on their job placement stats.
Lessons to learn from this.
1. If your friends are doing something clearly stupid walk away it’s not worth the fight to convince them not to do whatever they are doing.
2. Don’t do drugs duh.
3. If your life is good keep it that way sure problems will arise but overcome them and get back on track.
4. And lastly the best advice I can give is DONT FUCK UP YOUR LIFE. You only get one shot in life there is no go back to last checkpoint or respawn. Make it count.
Source for this advice this 30 year old TH-camr who has seen a lot of crap in life and bad decisions made by close friends where I have seen the outcome and saw how they ruined their life’s.
Man I should’ve I listened to my parents and my true friends who told me to stop hanging out with a certain groups when I was 15. I was really shitty to my disabled dad i never wanted him to talk to me because he would call to check up on me everyday and warn me about people but no I Did drugs alcohol etc then 2 years one of the bad friends got me drunk and tried to rape me when I was 17 (im a guy btw) literally changed my life for the better apologized to my dad and we talk everyday and I got to college now…even tho I was in the shit there’s always time to get out but definitely not much time
@@greenscreenmovieguy5582 I’m glad you got your life back on track. I wish you the best in life have a good one.
Sometimes you dont know what you could've dine differently until its too late. Sometimes you make mistakes or shit happens through no fault of your own. Its inevitable.
And then there's me, who ruined my own life - not through my own will but from my body deciding to destroy itself and let the long-undiagnosed chronic condition win. Dropped out of school. Am too sick and tired to do anything much more than online. Endless symptoms from chronic pain to fatigue to migraines to GI stuff to fainting to runaway allergies to constant injuries to nosebleeds to.. it doesn't ever end. It gets worse every day. The clinic I finally get into tomorrow after a 10 month wait may be able to do something more for me, but I have no idea how my condition will progress and if there is anything that can help me now that my decline has started. Literally overnight, I went from sucessful in school, having already battled through what I thought was the worst part of my life (mental stuff, abuse, etc), to waking up with some virus that my body overreacted to and oops, now it's never going away.
I really want to go to college, live alone, learn to drive, date someone, live a young adult life, and that may never happen for me. My current trajectory is stuck at home relying on my parents until they die, then being moved into a "home" where I'll stay with no one to visit me (sis wants me dead anyways LOL) until I die.
Hey, I know this is months late and you may never read this but I had something similar happen to me. A surgery that was supposed to remove something worrying ended up giving me constant nerve pain in my leg. It was temporarily fixed just for near-daily migraines to kick in barely a year later, then the nerve pain is back in full force and I'm basically bedridden for 22 hours a day. On top of so many other things that spiraled out of control or developed during that time.
I feel for you, and you're not alone. There are resources and groups out there for people like us who are stuck at home with difficult conditions. I hope you find some of them and at least find a sense of community and people who are empathetic and understanding; doing that helped me even through the very darkest of times. I wish you well.
Oh god story 1 really pulled at the heart strings 😢 worst part is I thought it was going in the opposite direction
Some of these are accidents and it's sad what happened to them... but the rest are just... so dumb. I struggle to wrap my head around how people can make such bad decisions and what, think everything is gonna go in their favor!?!
If you guys wanted to know, the baseball player name is Jeffery Allison and was actually drafted 16th overall in the 2003 MLB draft. He seems to have his life back together though so that’s good.
Just recently found out his sentence so here goes. Had a repeat shoplifter in our store. Told him if I saw him again then police would be called. He tried again. Police was called. Bit both me and the security guard and threatened the guard with a dull knife. Now looking at 15 yrs
My grandpa was a smart happy go lucky person until his alhimezers got really bad and I think he got a stroke and is now in a nursing home at high fall risk and can barely function and I cannot tell the similarites between him 2 years ago and now. I cannot visit him without wanting to cry. He was over 75 at the time of his fall and possible stroke.
Didn’t see this, because it was 20 years before I was born. My grandfather (my mom’s stepfather) told me this story.
Larry Wayne Mahoney was a man in Carrollton, Kentucky, who in 1988, crashed into a large bus while driving drunk.
He hit the bus in the gas tank causing the bus to catch fire.
On this particular bus, the gas tank was underneath the front right side of the passenger compartment, so the fire spread through the bus, which was at full capacity. 27 of the 66 people on board died of third and fourth degree burns.
Mahoney was arrested after waking up in the hospital.
He was 34 at the time, and if he’s still alive (which I seriously doubt he is) he’s in his late 60s or early 70s now.
All of us, as a nation(and internationally), have seen Bryan Kohberger go from a promising career in Criminology to a serial killer over night. Does that count?
I doubt he had much’ promise’, who knows?
Who?
No. That is not something you have seen. He has only been convicted in the media so far. Stay in school.
Yup drunk driving isn’t anything to trifle with at all. I’ve had a single drink or two beers over a few hour period and then drove afterwards but if I’m buzzed at all I will find something to do to burn time without driving, walk home, and/or sleep in the car as I’ve done a fair amount of time in the backseat with my keys in the glovebox until I sobered up in the morning (stood up outside the car to actually know I was sober from having coordinated motor skills & physically moving around).
If you play them MMORPG’s you need to make sure that you’re doing it correctly where it actually makes you money, use scripts/programs to work up skills for characters/building accounts to sell that have been commissioned, and making real life money off of the game. I had a few friends who started playing Ultima Online in 1998 and they spent all there time doing that and never hung out with our group. One day blazing at my friends house they had me check out the game where you could kill/murder other players and take everything from their characters corpse. I thought that was hilarious and could be fun so I started to get into the game. My friends all played it the normal way but I did some research to see how to work skills the fastest/easiest/cheapest methods to do the work in game and found an application that would run written scripts that would work any skill that you needed to do, collect any type of material that you need to collect, and make any type of items that you need made, I even had a script that would purchase everything from a towns faction vendors that had their prices at -30% tithe rate and would get everything for dirt cheap to either use it for materials or take it to another town to sell at a faction vendor that had the tax/tithe rate set at +300% to make massive profits, and whenever a duplication bug came out we would exploit it to create billions to trillions of 1,000,000 gold piece checks that we would purchase items in game and sell them online for real cash. The most I ever made from the game in a month was $12,000 at the beginning when gold was still selling for $25USD per million gold check on eBay. Our group/guild/clan ended up getting banned from eBay because we where a driving force for the collapse of the economy on the game but they had made it so item based that it was only good for making extra cash because the pvp quality was so poor & no where near the size of the battles that there was on the games early years. I was always working at least 3-5 accounts 24/7 on my computer by running multiple clients & scripts simultaneously. The accounts was the primary source for the games income but there was plenty of other time sensitive boons of capital that would come up when the opportunities presented themselves. I can honestly see how it can suck the life out of people if they allow it to do so. I always made sure I was doing plenty of stuff to have fun out in the real world and would game on days with poor weather, friends all planned to game together (end up playing a range of games usually), and at the end of the day to chill before crashing a bit & to make sure scripts where all running good overnight.
One of my coworkers had this dream of owning a new ferrari sports car. He saved for buying such a car for over 10 years. When he ordered the car he was telling everybody when it would arrive and was really stoked for finally getting it as there was a waiting time of some months. On the day he got the car, he hopped in, took off and crashed the ferrari in the very first corner. Car was totalled, coworker was in hospital for a weak, but gladly no severe injuries. Still 10 years of saving up money gone in less than 5 minutes.
This one guy in Vet School shot himself 3 days before graduation. I don’t know why, nobody does. He was a great guy apparently (didn’t know him personally, was told by someone). I just don’t understand how you can put yourself through 4 years of one of the most arduous programs in medicine and then just end it all 3 days before.
Vets have a very high suicide rate, so do medical residents. It's awful mentally it seems.
For the fifth story, those cops and the nurse should have been fired for negligence and be sent to jail for negligent homicide, on top of being forced to attend the funeral of the person they held in custody. And once they are released from jail, they shouldn’t be allowed to find another job except in the lowliest of jobs (it should be something that not even those in *poverty* would want to be employed at).
If the cops suspected the dude with the punctured lung was drunk, why couldn’t they just make him blow on a breathalyzer or walk on a straight line? Even if the probably did that, those are one of the MOST incompetent police and nurses. A life ruined by tough luck and incompetent people
That girl who turned 18 was doing that shit before she was 18.

How terrible, imagine how much happier she'd be with money instead of family.
Yet she has a family.
@@koolaidblack7697 We don't know how much money she makes in the first place though, what if that amount of money is lower than living wage?
@@adifferentangle7064 We don't know how much money she makes in the first place though, what if that amount of money is lower than living wage?
@@mishagaming1075 Between government handouts, friends/family helping out, and child support, if she's single there's a good likelihood she won't actually need to work at all.
If she's married then it doesn't matter so much.
As far as I'm concerned women who have children very young are much better off in the long term than those who hold off and "start their career".
I was 20 when I had my first, and being from a country town I had at least ten or more female friends who also had children the same age or younger.
We are all 35 now and our oldest is two years off finishing high school.
Some of those women decided to be a career wife, and went on to have four or five children and survived on one median wage.
Some of those women had dreams and aspirations beyond the home and by the time the youngest is in primary school they could go to uni and study or explore their interests themselves, with the 20 hours a week they have free time.
On the flip side, many of my friends had children within the last three years. Most of the married ones, actually.
They went to uni, became bigots, found their nice guy and carefully curated their future. Now they are 35 and have toddlers running around, and even if they only stick to one child they will be at least 50 before their children move out of home.
They will be tired and stressed, their marriage will fall apart, and their career that was put on hold will be difficult or impossible to pick up if they take two years off, so they have to go back to work while the baby is still breastfeeding.
What do you think is the better outcome?
I for one am looking forward to getting a nice expensive car the year my youngest leaves home.
If you’re going to do a crime, don’t take photos of it.

this sounds weird but when my mom was a kid, her and my aunt would go hang out with the old neighbour. he was in his 70s or 80s and they were around 10 she said. theyd play cards and nothing weird or perverted. she said he was alone and lived in a house he made himself. the one day he committed suicide with a shotgun and he knew theyd be the ones to find him. and thats what happened my mom ended up finding him in the sunroom in his chair.

i recently went through clonazepam withdrawal after taking it for about a month or so. i was prescribed it for a multitude of mental health disorders. i took them too quickly, about 3 per day. the withdrawals were hell. i nearly passed out about 4 times, i could barely stand, didn't eat, etc. i haven't taken it for two months, and i'm never going back.
My neighbour got married. He will live to regret that poor decision.
That ex wife one was insane
It just happened.
About a month ago, my great aunt, who wasn't a really decent person already and one heck of an attention seeker, but still not absolutely awful, well she decided she needed more attention. So she badly overdosed Robax (the painkillers).
Result: she did three hospitals, in a coma. She then finally woke up against all odds, but with her kidneys and liver completely done for. Because of substance abuse, she wasn't eligible for a transplant. So yesterday, she just fell back into a coma. I think she's hours from dying now and while it messes me up to think about it, it doesn't make me quite sad. She ran after it, she yearned for it
There needs to be an age limit maximum to have a driver’s license. Either that or make someone 75+ renew their driving license every year
The young guy dying in cop custody is another product of American health care or the lack thereof. If someone has an accident in Germany, no matter if car, bike, motorcycle, and people might have been harmed, bystanders or latest the arriving police/firefighters always call an ambulance to check on you. It doesn't matter if you appear to be a drunk driver, that is even more of an indication to check on you, you might not show all pain. When the medics cleared you (probably after a visit to the ER), you may get arrested. I'm pretty sure though you wouldn't even get arrested for drunk driving if you didn't hurt anyone, you'd just get a letter later for a possible trial. You only get arrested straight away if you are a direct danger to the public. Anyways, in situations like these, our motto is "better safe than sorry", something American Police Officers seem to have never heard of, considering how many people die in their custody for various reasons

I don't like that "his whole life went to garbage" talking. Unless a person is dead, he/she can still change his life and make it better. I also fucked up big time in my life and wish I could turn back time (the love of my life left me half a year ago , because of really dumb shit I did) and even tho it feels like I will never be able to feel happiness again, I want to believe that one day it will be better. I refuse to just give up.

Honestly, older drivers are the most dangerous people on the road, they are right up there with drunk drivers. I personally know three people who were involved in serious car accidents all because of older drivers who are simply no longer capable of controlling their vehicles correctly. One of my friends is in the National Guard, he is a big strong guy. Has always been incredibly fit, he was at a gas station one day, walking out to his car. He was walking in front of the parking spaces to get to his car when an old lady hit the gas to accelerate instead of reverse out of her spot. The tire of her care crushed his leg all the way up to the knee. When she realized what she was doing instead of hitting the breaks, she panicked and just hit the gas harder, causing even more damage. My friend has had multiple surgeries over the years, he cant run anymore, and has spinal issues too. He can barely lift weights at the gym without something going wrong. This little old lady basically f**ed his entire life.
Another story is about my own grandmother, she was a wonderful person. She was my babysitter when I grew up as her house was near my elementry school so I would go there after school until my parents could pick me up. She was a former english teacher and librarian too. She was such a wonderful person, but she was old even when I was kid. She had adopted my dad, so her and my grandfather were both up there in age. She proved why older people shouldnt drive when, one day after she had picked me up from school and parked in her drive way, she didnt put the car in park, I think she put it in neutral. I hopped out and started walking in the house but when she went to get out the car started rolling forward, (the driveway was on a slight downward angle,) she fell as she was getting out and the rear tire rolled over her. My grandfather, who we later learned had Alzheimer's and Dementia, though at the time it wasn't too bad because my grandmother covered a lot of it for him, didnt know what to do. He just started talking to himself as my grandma was laying there unconscious. My neighbor, who was my dads best friend growing up and knew all of us like we were family, was out cutting the grass and noticed what happened, he dropped everything and sprinted over, he pulled her out from under the car, called 911, and started doing CPR, he kept her alive until the ambulance showed up but she was brain dead when she got to the hospital and my dad had to pull her life support after a week or 2. I think I was like seven or eight at the time, I still choke up thinking about it. My grandpas dementia got REALLY bad after all that and dad ended up pulling a fuse from my grandpa's truck to keep him from trying to drive off.
But yeah, moral of the story is, after a certain age, dont drive. Even if you think your good to go, you really, really shouldnt.
My buddy finished school to be a pharmacist at a really good school and during covid stole 2000$ from a friend serving over seas and the cops told him if he returned the money and apologized they would drop the charges but he never did. His dad died a few years ago. His mom put a gun to his head he's a drug addict that will never be able to work in pharmaceuticals but growing up he was straight As it all went to shit when his dad died in his 40s from being a chain smoker

ITS THE DRUNK CRASHERS WHO GET US IN TROUBLE
A couple of local high school girls got caught up with some asshole 25-year-old a year or two back. I don't know the full story, but I do know the end of it: guy was driving the girls home from a party, all three of them incredibly drunk (and I think the dude was high as well, but I'm not certain), and crashed into a concrete bridge barrier going way too fast. One of the girls died and the other ended up in a coma for weeks, and needed to undergo extensive medical care and physical therapy for months afterward. The driver was fine, though, because karma is a damned lie. Guy's rotting in prison now, thank fuck, but I feel so awful for those girls. My mom was talking about it with me once and kept saying how stupid those girls were for getting into the situation they did, what terrible decisions they made. But I just feel bad for them. Sure, they didn't make good decisions to end up like that, but teenagers should be able to be stupid and fuck up without ruining their lives. That's what being a teenager is about. I never made choices as bad as those as a teen myself, but I did still make some bad ones, and I'm lucky my bad choices never screwed me over so seriously. It's so easy for teens to fall in with the wrong people for a sense of validation and acceptance, and I'm so sorry that these girls paid for their mistake with their health and a life.
Coworker and I were supposed to go to a conference together, but I got a call the day of- saying he had been in an accident. Fast forward to a week later when I get back, I find out that the night of the accident he had gone out drinking with his cousins. Coworker was the driver, he had overshot a curve and plowed his car into a tree.
Two cousins were ejected and one was sliced across the belly. (Un)lucky for them there had been a trooper behind them and had had been about to pull them over when the wreck occurred. The last two occupants were pulled out as the car caught fire. One of the cousins died a week later from complications.
What’s worse, the trooper had a college intern with him who got the entire accident on video.
I have a friend who routinely self-sabotages herself by getting into relationships with poorly chosen men. She’s been divorced three times now. Her life isn’t ruined and she has gotten herself out of abusive relationships, she just struggles with being by herself.
Definitely has cost her a lot of money and of course, heartache.
I’ve had to distance myself from her in the past two years because I was getting tired of her asking for my advice and doing the opposite.
As a Christian who is still reading through the Bible I have not found anywhere in the bible where it says suicides go to hell. The closest you get is Judas and he didn't go to hell because of of suicide or betrayal but instead because he didn't receive and accept the gift of Jesus. It really upsets me when churches make that claim.
Side note
Christianity is supposed to be about love not fear, quite possibly the most important words that followers should keep in mind is he who is without sin cast the first stone. We all are sinners, so no one should condemn another for sin. Not if you're a druggie, a thief, trans, bi, gay, or etc. Your sins are between you and God. Jesus would rather us love each other instead of condemn each other.

I had been best friends with this girl ever since i moved here, i was in pre-school, i got put in her class and we hit off pretty well. After 4 year we finished elementary, still best-friends and that continued for all of 5th grade plus the summer in-between 5th and 6th. Then out of nowhere we kinda cut contact, i wasn't too against it, ik we were both busy, or so i thought. After maybe 2 or 3 months she calls me to hang out??? I accepted ofc, wanting to see what's going on with her. Turns out for the few months I haven't seen her she has absolutely went downhill, at the age of 12 this girl smokes, drinks and hangs out with a large group of friends 75% of which are w33d smokers. She now thinks i'm a total "NPC" for having a regular life "Wait you mean to tell me you read books??? That's the biggest NPC thing you can do" "So you stay at home all day and play on your phone and study? NPC, everybody!" "What do you mean you have to be at home by 6pm? I stay until 12? What kind of NPC are you seriously". It was sooo annoying, and i was genuinely disappointed in her. I don't know how she is now or what she is doing, but i don't really care, of course i am worried, but she can't be helped if she doesn't want to be helped.
I had a head-on collision with a truck two years ago, my old Toyota folded up like an accordion and I got out of the wreck almost on my own. why you ask? Of the whole accident, I only broke the toe on my right foot from applying the brake. Yeah, "only" that... people couldn't believe that I survived it, I guess it's still slowly getting to me, although it's really hard. on the one hand, my life changed 180, I stopped chasing after material things, for example, but since then I have a problem with just living life. I feel like I'm watching a TV series or playing a game (sometimes the feeling was so terrible that I felt like skipping a phase in my life by simply using the magic skip button) I have been diagnosed with depression and ptsd. The only thing that helped me get back on my feet at the moment was weed. My only fear is that I might be addicted to it, but is it bad to be addicted to medicine? the worst thing is that in my country it is very stigmatized and it probably takes some time for people to change their attitude to it. I am very glad that my mother is beginning to understand a little more about this subject. it's a slow process, but it's moving steadily forward. I've been dealing with a relapse of depression since October, I left the capital with my fiancée for the countryside in August, thinking it would help me. If it wasn't for her, I might not be here. She is my best friend and I love her so much and I'm glad she's with me. however, I'm also afraid that I might hurt her in some way because of my ailments, because that's one of the reasons why I'm afraid to start a family. at the moment, my condition is additionally affected by the lack of my own place (I live with my grandparents together with my fiancée, we supposedly have a whole floor to ourselves, but it's not the same as having our own house) and the fact that I am unemployed. this November was the worst month of my life, but I'm glad I survived it. why was it the worst you ask? by irresponsibility and stupidity. I took the mushrooms, a bit too much and it got into my psyche too much that I was afraid to even talk about it. I felt like I was completely shattered and had to learn all the basics from scratch. on the one hand, you can think that it's all good, I'll put my life back together, but on the other hand, I just dream that one day my problems with sleeping, eating and feelings will disappear, because for so long I can't deal with it alone. i am attending therapy btw so keep your fingers crossed for me. Remember, the worst thing is to do NOTHING, although sometimes there is no other way. sorry for poor english, i'm not a native speaker, i use google translate because it's hard for me to describe it in english.
With all those jumps and lands Spider-Man’s gonna be on this list soon
I remember a story in my country of a father who had to go to the US to get his daughter (who was in university) body because she got killed by a drunk driver. She was extremely smart and had a lot of awards when leaving high school and got scholarship in the US. She was making stores runs for her dorm probably. Where a guy rams into her at an intersection (i think) and killed her.
I know 2 guys who did dumb things
1.Somebody I knew had child adult content (he was 14 when it happened) he showed it to someone and got expelled from school immediately, idk what happened next
2.Friend cheated during a national exam (most important of the national exams) idk what happened
The "going to Africa" post was hilarious though xD
Some people hate jokes
Some of these are so sad.
I hate people who do domestic violence and I always feel bad for the people as I know people who have been domestically abused
All the overtaking unto upcoming traffic made me remember that one time we drove at the 2-lane countryside roads.
Fuck I'm not used to the speeds plus the windy roads.
The car we were following was going like 100kmph and we were getting overtaken like hell.
We were losing the car we were following so we had to speed the fuck up and overtake.
Mind you we are in the wilderness, 2-lane road at night.
Nothing bad happened but it was some scary shit, don't wanna drive on those roads again.
old people should be banned from driving vehicles with high torque/horsepower
I have a story. When I move out. Rent a house. There was a friendly old man smiling and talk to me everytime we met. I even gave him some of my food everytime I have one and happily take it. But tragic happened when I met him last week. We talk a usual way and separate few moments. But when I came back carrying my food and a gallon of water. A accident happened in my back. There was a stupid motor cycle driver drive too fast and he hit a man who was crossing in a pedestrian lane. When I saw the victim laying on the street. I have very shock. It turns out it was the friendly old man who was hit by the motor cycle. I couldn't help but froze and stared at the man who I treat like my own grandpa too. Right now he was in a comatose and I wish him well and I hope I'll see him again and talk like old times.
"I always feel like there´s more i could´ve done".
Lmao nah, should´ve went to the funeral with a "Told you so Moron"- shirt on. Natural selection at work right there.
Mine was the constant wrong decisions I keep making... I even started doing to option I wouldn't have done, just try to break the cycle, nope still wrong decision.
Justine Sacco seems to be doing alright today. Good for her.
Found the guy at 5:54 and his name is Aaron akin and was from Kansas
Sad what happened to him, could've been an elite pitcher and maybe even a hall of famer
If you work in a jail, cover your ass should mean take every medical complaint serious. If someone says they can't breathe, do your job and make sure they're ok. If someone dies because of a collapsed lung and they were complaining, but nothing was done, anyone who ignored those complaints should be arrested.
Fun fact: If Im not mistaken the 2nd story was told by another redditor some while back, small world I guess
The person from the first story is a hero
I had recently reconnected with one of my best friends from grade school and was asking how everyone was. Pretty much all of them got into smoking weed and partying, but they weren't bad people.
I then asked how his family was and when I got to his older half-sister, he just refused to talk about it/tried changing the subject. I picked up what he was doing pretty fast and tried convincing him to tell me (we'd known each other for 8 years at that point so I figured he'd trust me), and he gave up hiding his evasion, but still didn't want to tell me. I say okay and we act like I never asked. The next day, though, my curiosity go the best of me and I pushed further, to which he finally caved.
Apparently his sister ran off with his stepmom and now they basically live like stereotypical trailer people (filthy house, drugs all the time, etc).
That was 2 years ago and I still regret forcing it out of him. Hope he's doing well.
I Thecnically ruined my life cause of a panic attack
Ok In 8th grade my parents changed me of school because my group of “friends” that used to bully me and my sister constantly both in the internet and when we met, at first I thought that they were actually my friends, but seriously, what kind of friends call your own sister annoying and then blame you for it, anyways, I entered the new school and met the most kind and heart full people I’ve ever known, they were so kind with me and it was thanks to them that i realized how awful were those “friends” with me, we were all very close, we went together to almost everything, cinema, shopping, etc. I was really relieved that my life finally had a good turn, but then the panic attack came, shortly after I left the other school I had the worsts panic attacks ever, I used to tremble a lot to the point that I look like I was convulsing, I cried out loud and even screamed out of nowhere, and the worst of all, while the panic attack it’s still going no one can talk to me, no one can touch me because I would either rage or cry louder, all of this because of those “friends”, the panic attacks happen if something or someone reminds me of them, for example the smallest attack could be cause by simply watching volleyball (because they usually played it) and the worst panic attacks are can be caused by telling me to move or to low my voice, since they used to scream at me or constantly tell me to move apart and even shut me up, ok now that I explained further I can actually tell what happened, so I went to a friends house and we were all watching movies, we did karaoke and we ate nachos in the afternoon, everything fine from there until the songs started, some songs were the ones the friends from the other school used to listen to, I had to learned about those songs if I wanted to stay with them during the time, so that was the first strike, I started feeling uncomfortable and even tried not to listen to it, but it wasn’t enough to cause me an attack, then the second and the detonating of it, we were watching I think a song I don’t really remember, but what I remember is that one of them “told me to move”. My body froze, the trembling started and I tried to go to bathroom to calm myself down, i was there for a couple of minutes until I was relaxed enough to come back, but that wasn’t clearly “enough”
I was still on the verge of tears when I came back I tried acting normal, i sat there for a second and then it started, I started crying in silence trying to calm down and come back to normal and to keep with the “party”, then everyone noticed that I was crying, they started asking me what what’s wrong with me and everyone started to ask me, I tried to stay as calm as posible, but then I just exploded, I said out loud “EVERYONE TREATS ME LIKE SHIT”… everything went down from there, they stopped talking to me and every time I try to get close to them it’s just all tense and awfully awkward, now I eat most of the time alone and my sister comes by to stay with me during the recesses, my sister still eats with them but she usually worries about me so she constantly asks me if I’m fine, I always tell her I’m fine but honestly I hate every second of recess, being alone and having the school psychologist to talk to me almost every recess, it’s just awful, if any of the girls of the other school is reading this, congrats ! You ruined my life once again
TL DR
That story about the old lady is the reason why I think people above a certain age shouldn't be allowed to drive
