This is why I hate some aspects of the government. Being a good person makes you either the first suspect or being taken advantaged of and screwed
but dont you dare be a horrible person even though you have a huge advantage in life you GOTTA be nice
I hate a lot of aspects of the government n i agree
And that's why we all need to band together and over throw the government.
I call present!
To the 'first suspect' part.
It's probably less 'government' and more 'the people who did commit the crimes, then showed up as 'concerned citizens' only to be outed by someone or themselves due to 'stupidity' and it repeating making people who are 'concerned citizens' looked at as a possible suspect.'
@Caponezheater that’s not true at all. There are many laws that take intent into consideration.
That first story, geeze, if you ever act like a fool and get yourself into an accident, maybe the other person will remember this story and leave you to die for fear you will try to ruin them.
If that happens, you know who to thank.
Steven Clark “I found them like this” is a good way to protect yourself
Death is not enough for someone like that.
When I have been involved in a traffic accident (3 times in 20 years driving)... I STAY MY ASS IN THE GOD DAMN CAR!!!... period... put out the 9-1-1 call and wait. That's the end of my "requirements" and it's all the hell I'm doing.
For the record, high school required me to get CPR and First Aid cards... Good Samaritan laws and all... The Navy required me to get qual'ed up to "Battlefield medic"... and it's for NOTHING. I am NOT putting my ass on the line to help others out and get sued. You fucked up, you fix it on your own. I've got my own shit to deal with. I'll survive the best I can... good luck!
EXACTLY because of horror stories like this. ;o)
@@gnarthdarkanen7464 as a army medic i am right there with you. only with calling i will let them know i know i have a bls card nothing more and will only use it if instructed to. that way i have the callers info on record. i will not have my job endangered for anyone besides my son or hubby. i know they will not sue me. plus if they died and i did noting it would be on my mind forever.
@@gnarthdarkanen7464 I straight up told my health teacher I refused to qualify for CPR because of that. Took me down from a B to a D, but it was worth it IMO.
Ok that first story is a yikes. Can’t believe he got sued for saving the woman’s life. Like I understand that she has cheap insurance and shit but bringing the man that saved you to court is kinda overdoing it.
She probably was trying to kill herself due to debt, but once she had a way to get money, she took it. I'd be the type to fly into a ditch before letting another car try to clip me.

Any idiot will sue. But what about the Judge...??! I mean who condemns a Good Samaritan...
@@jennym007 society, according to mgtow community.
i thought there were good samaritan laws but idk 🤷♀️🤷♀️
@@rinacamden3629 Maybe it wasn't in the U.S. or in a country that had those laws.
That first story makes my blood boil. Back in July, my dad and I were in a gnarly head-on collision. Dad was driving and his side was so crumpled, he couldn’t open the door from inside. His right foot was pinned under the brake & accelerator so he couldn’t move much anyway. He told me to get out bc of a possible engine fire, I got out and called 911...and saw 3 men helping us and finally opened his door. After that, I started blacking out and the pain took over so I went to lie down on the grass where I was accompanied by a very sweet gentleman named Steve who helped to calm me down. I will always be thankful for their help, and I could never imagine wanting to sue THEM for being so kind.
Sounds like she realized she could scam him for money. Hell, the whole thing could've been a scam from the beginning.
@@ShadowSkyX she really caused the accident through her own ignorance then realized she could've scammed the man to get money for herself to recover yeah you can burn in the car survival of the fittest
Good Samaritan Laws. "Any person who renders emergency care at the scene of any emergency or accident in good faith shall be immune from civil liability if his or her acts or omissions in rendering such emergency care."
Doesn't apply to all states in the US and it only applies if you have a first aid certificate but here in Australia however you cannot be sued for being a good Samaritan
@@bluehornet197 the first aid bit varies from state to state, lawyer to lawyer, judge to judge ect
At least, in TN/USA, the "Good Samaritan Law" only covers you IF you're certified in First Aid and CPR AND if that certification is up to date. The card's not renewed by "refresher course" and you're no longer covered...
Bottom line, regardless of emergency, I save MY ass, and the rest of you are on your own. Good luck! ;o)
James Quinn the first aid bit varies from state to state and all I know is in BC the Good Samaritan act only applies to those who have no emergency first response training and are on the job so on duty EMTs paramedics and lifeguards are not covered by the Good Samaritan act and I think in Quebec they made of so if you have any training your legally obligated to help because if you have training you should no better then to make mistakes
gnarth d'arkanen fair enough I don’t blame you I’m saving my ass first to
Dude it's like wtf. People wonder how someone who has been kidnapped or something is ignored by others? People don't stop anymore because of this. It isn't that they don't care, they just care about their lives
Exactly which is sad but on the flip side who wants to get sued doing the right thing? If I knew for 100% certain a chick has been kidnapped I would help I would probably just beat the shit out of her captor and then get her to just run and then I do a disappearing act
@@bluehornet197 and then she and the abuser sue you because theyre together and she never reported the abuse. Theres a story i heard a couple months back about this happening to a guy, saw a dude hit his girl in public and the guy started beating the shit outta 2nd dude. Girl called 911 on the 1st guy and next thing you know hes being sued and awaiting trial for sentancing. Just dont help people in general but most importantly dont help women, the vast majority of cases against good samaritans are started by women or females.
@@idkissausername1667 yea. We just gotta keep our heads down at this point. Its a real risk to b a good Samaritan. Pretty sure if i saw that id just laeve. Shoulda picked a better boyfriend lol
@@meyeneetuks4680 oh absolutely, just walk away and focus on being as far away from that crime scene as you can be. even if someones life is at risk, its better their life than yours.
@@idkissausername1667 this sounds like sarcasm but honestly at some point there may be a moment in which you really gotta evaluate whether this moment could ruin your life
imagine getting offended because somebody was kind to you...
I don't have to imagine *Cough*Radical Feminists*Cough* because "it's patronizing". That's why I never compliment someone.
That's just being human
@@Jose04537 Yeah, everything can be seen as "creepy" or "harrassment" there's a reason why HR departments are reviled and it's because they're weaponized by people like Rad Fems.
Imagine saving someone’s life and then being sued. Ridiculous.
not uncommon, unfortunately. Someone said they were trying to commit suicide due to debt but obviously failed.
The laws have got to be changed. When you do a good deed and end up getting sued for it..,something is very very wrong with our judicial system. Hate to say it..but...it would certainly make me think twice about trying to help someone. Sad the world has come to this.
There’s the Good Samaritan law in America
no offence, but that's why i hate u.s.
the elders think they own the world and think they can do as they please
Yeah!
MrCobalox that’s not just a u.s. thing. You just see the worst of it in the media and stereotypes.
@@ratherande and yet people are still being sued for being good Samaritans last I checked for the good Samaritan law to apply you need first aid training and need to prove you have a certificate in it and it has to be current if your certificate expired a month ago and you saved someones life they can sue you for not knowing the correct up to date procedures if they know you could have done more so it really depends on a lot of different outside factors
Once, the phone of a good friend of mine was stolen at school, while the guys who stole it were caught I found the phone hidden in the table, being the good guy I returned the phone to the teacher because my friend and the guys were downstairs talking with the cops. The teacher immediately took me to the cops and said I had something to do with it because he didn’t believe me for finding the phone, I was arrested and suspended from my school, after that the police found me not guilty and the case was dismissed but the school director didn’t wan’t to believe me and kicked me from the school, I was almost finished with my course after two years and they just kicked me off the school so I had to start all over. I had nothing to do with the theft, it really fucked me up. I keep thinking if I just didn’t touch the phone I would’ve had my degree in engineering.
What an asshole. Sometimes it's okay to assault people.
@@parenyu normally I would disagree but in that particular case abso fucking lutely
I like to be really observative, so I know everything, I'd just find a way to give back the phone to the victim before they return, and leave a little note that it's returned.
7esseanime yes I sure was but what I didn’t know is there is a law that makes you a suspect if you have had a stolen object in your hands, but because I could prove I was innocent, and my friend helped me with proof, she told the cops we were really good friends and I would never steal her phone, the cops believed her, the school didn’t, she tried everything to stop the director from kicking me off the school. The director was this type of asshole that only believes his own conclusions. So I still got kicked from the school, even when the cops said I was innocent, I asked my lawyer if I could do anything about it to stop the director from kicking me off the school, he told me there wasn’t anything I could do. If I would file a lawsuit against the school I was going to lose it because I had been the “suspect” of a theft on their property. When the school director said they were going to kick me from the school I couldn’t believe it. (Sorry for bad English)
That guy deserves to be beat up. Sorry I'm mad lol. But seriously...I hope karma bit him in the ass for that. It'd crazy that some ppl don't think twice about potentially ruining a part of someone else's life.
6:40
This would literally just discourage me from calling the cops if one of them told me this. "Leave it to the cops" is understandable and all but when you are basically telling someone to just let someone steal other people's things and potentially harm a cat out of spite then I'd rather just not call the asshole cops and get the stuff back my damn self.
Then you just lose to the people who did call the cops. The police force on the west today is a joke, a catch 22 situation where even if you are the victim calling the cops for help, its more than likely theyll simply screw you over as well. Its a twisted cycle that lets them hold their power over the everyman
Call the cops for help, the. They just come, say it's a civil matter and they can't do anything, and leave anyway, causing it to be a waste of time.
The cops over here in Australia are pretty useless, too, which doesn't help my fickle opinion of them at all, it seems like there's never something they *can* do.
Take for example the fact my neighbour has been getting away with abusing his mentally impaired wife for over ten years now, he's also been violating other laws on the side. Despite multiple calls per year, there's still nothing they can do. Just shows you how helpful the cops are.
@tinylilmatt The worst? Politicians makes the laws by their side so you get punished for not bend over & take it.
You can't just chase people down with your car, that's crazy.we Don't live in that kind of society

Moral of the story: don't help or trust people ever.
The unfortunate part is this isn’t a new development. The world has always been like this
I heard once that a girl choke to death a no one helped her because they could be charged with assault
"In a surprising turn of events, a superhero is being sued for saving someone who apparently didn't want to be saved" @ 1st Story
Suicide jumper: "You didn't save my life! You ruined my death!"
Bob: "Listen you little piece of-."
I believed the first one, until they said 1% at fault. That’s bs, not insurance company has a 1% plan, and if she was driving that recklessly it wouldn’t have been found in his fault at all.
Iron M not to mention pretty much every state has Good Samaritan laws. Any judge would have thrown that case out of the window
So the story's fake
@@LaluMakesFilms actually a few states in the US dont even have those laws amd many others have requirements that need to be met BEFORE help is given, i.e. having a certificate to aid or something other. I do believe the 1% thing was most likely hyperbolic and just comparing it to other stories ive heard of similar cases, i personally think its real. Im no professional but its better to be safe than sorry, if that means leaving someone to their fate then so be it, they may have a life and family but SO DO I and im sorry but no one elses life or family will ever be more important to me than mine
I thought this sounded fishy because why TF didn’t he counter sue?!? Or hire a legit lawyer?!?!
@@LaluMakesFilms a lot of states require you to have certification before the law will protect you. It's mostly so you can't sue EMS for breaking your ribs while giving CPR which happens a lot more that you would like to think.
The part that really makes this unbelievably is the 1% at fault thing, even if it's exaggeration no insurance company is going to hand over $200k on a 1% at fault.
What I learn from these posts: Never help anyone, Don't trust the police (I already knew this, but whatever), Be careful with crazy GF, Don't trust anyone, Keep secrets to your self, It's ok to be selfish or turn a blind eye.
So let me get this straight.
Dont help a stranger
Give minimal amount to homeless or flat out avoid them
Dont help someone who’s drunk or on drugs
Dont help a woman
And finally never trust anyone.
Anything else I missed from this video?
The cop at 7:25 angers me sm. What was OP supposed to do? Let the girlfriend get away with his friend's belongings and cat? She could've hurt or even killed the animal before the police arrived. And it wasn't like OP was harming the girlfriend either. She literally stole someone's pet while all OP did was corner her before the police arrived, yet the police threatened to arrest OP for false imprisonment WTH

These stories is why anytime something happens I stay in the background and speed away. Big crowd? Avoid it. Police activity? Opposite direction. Live my life with tunnel vision and minding my own business.
Stories like these are the real reason why nobody helps but instead just stand around streaming it onto social media go OMG or someone should do something.
My dad was an EMT back in the 80s with my mom (they met volunteering as firefighters, though technically met when my mom was a midwife a good decade previously, but I digress) one dude wad flipped upside down in a moderately shallow river (think waist deep) the firefighters and emts already on scene didn't know what to do, they didn't want to bring in the jaws of life due to the water but dad showed up, grabbed the jaws, wadded in, and used the jaws. Course the man was out cold, seat belt intact. No time for this shit, dad just yanked the man out of the seat, saving his life and breaking his shoulder in the process. The dude sued everyone involved and I mean EVERYONE, he managed to even track down some onlookers to sue them. Honestly dad could have been just fine to do nothing legally since the people in charge of the scene deemed it too risky to try the jaws and he probably would have died without them.
Currently an EMT and holy shit that sucks to hear. Also know this because I am an EMT I'm not protected by good Samaritan laws fully, If I do something off clock and something like this happens I'm still liable because I'm medically trained. A few years back I was on my way to work, full uniform and all, a car blows the light I'm stopped at and rails the other car spinning it into a telephone pole. This car was parallel to me about 10 feet away, lady in there crying for help and we locked eyes, the light turned green for me and I drove off almost in tears. When I went through EMT training these types of situations were discussed a bit and pretty much laid out that the world today does not protect heroes, so be one at your own risk. I do not consider myself a hero regardless of what I do and that moment really destroyed me because of situations I was taught similar to these Reddit discussions. It's a fucked up world while I consider myself a good EMT I'll never forgive myself for that moment.
@@blantherboy dont feel bad for driving away you were protecting your own ass and saving yourself the financial burden of being sued I would have done the same in fact if I am in any country other then Australia I wouldn't bother saving another humans life I know that sounds like as if I am cold and maybe I am but its just not worth the risk
@@blantherboy A few years back, I saw a lady drive her car right off the side and out over a river... about a quarter mile down from the bridge as I went by... I just carried on to the next town, where I stopped at the "Road Runner" (Gas station/sandwich shack) and told them to do the 911 thing... I went back to the bridge where I could stop the next cop or ambulance that showed up (flag them down) and that was the end of it... Get their attention, and then I got out of the way... done.
Found out later she had two kids with her... Nobody survived...
Plenty of qual's/cert's... BUT not going "there"... sorry. Samaritan Laws SUCK so bad. ;o)

I think if you want to help anyone in distress, it is imperative to call the emergency number first and have the call recorded (modern phones can record calls). Only when prompted by the operator is when you will take action.
A woman in my townhouse complex was being abused by her boyfriend. She ran into the backyard and he was screaming at her outside. She went back inside. I heard her yell "Stop! Please!" And then "Omg it's broke!" He literally broke their back door. Their screaming was so loud i could hear it two houses away while they were inside and i was inside and just happened to not have tv on. So i did what many would do and called 911. 911 got the address and i reiterated multiple times it was happening in #4, and i live in #2. Dispatcher repeated it back to me. Anyway, a few minutes later a cop pulls in. Two cops jump out and sprint up to MY door. They bang loudly and demand i come out. I said through the door that it was not me, Im the one who called. Cop just kept demanding i come out, said he would break down my door. So i came out and said it wasnt me, i called it in. It was #4. Trying to whisper so crazy #4 boyfriend wouldnt know i called 911 on him. Guy refused to believe me and actually made me sit on my steps while the other cop took my DL to the cruiser to check me out. Comes back 5 min later and tells this extremely aggressive cop it's not me it's #4 and i have no record. Mad cop throws my DL at me very hard and then walks over to #4. He calmly knocks. Guy answers and i hear them chat it up calmly. About a min later i hear laughing and cops say to have a nice day. WTF man, so i called the sheriff to report how that all went down and the sheriff told me not to ever call him again to criticize his deputies or tell them how to do their job. Seriously, ive never called cops again and that was 11 years ago. It's pointless.
People think that I’m an ass when I don’t help strangers but these stories validate me lol
Dont tell your friend they're being cheated on unless you're 100% sure they wont get back with that person. Told my childhood friend who I'd grown up with that his girlfriend was cheating on him after I caught her in a nightclub with some random guy. I gave her a thousand chances to come clean because I believed her when she said it was an accident and she told me she would tell him herself but never did. It was only when he talked about getting engaged to her that I just had to tell him. He thanked me, we talked about what he can do and I left him to think about it. They split for maybe two days and in that time other people told him they saw the girl cheating multiple times with that one guy so it was 100% confirmed. But then they ended up back together and out of nowhere I got blocked by both of them after a few weeks of minimal contact. So by trying to do the right thing I lost both of my friends and now my friend group is all over the place because of it with some people saying I shouldn't have said anything and I'm now inclined to agree. Anonymous tip offs would be the best bet if I could redo it I would.
🙁
You did the right thing to protect your friend, don't let anyone tell you that you didn't. Just like any choice, right or wrong comes with it's own sense of consequences. Think of it this way, you find out, confront her like you said but keep it to yourself, ten years they go though a nasty divorce and he loses money and other things in the process. Now for some reason she tells said friend you knew ( say it's to hurt them more and ruin a friendship who knows) and they confront you and blame you for the whole situation all while probably for years it eats at you specially when the problems start to arise. We can't predict what people will do with information but you damn sure acted like a true friend to prevent what will most likely be a disastrous relationship. One of the hardest things to do is save probably from toxic relationships, they usually have to learn that lesson on their own since emotions are extremely unpredictable.
@@blantherboy I appreciate the reply random stranger from the internet I actually was just expecting this to get lost in the comments! It just sucks because I don't like drama at all and I'm usually the last person to get involved in something that going to make it. But I just felt riddled by guilt because my friend was basically my brother like for all of our childhood we were glued together and people would ask were we actually brothers. And just seeing him get his hopes up for someone who cheated on him after 5 years was just about the most heartbreaking thing I'd ever seen. I mean I'm sure in a way it was the right thing, but I lost two people who meant a lot to me and they didnt even have the decency to tell me they were taking me off all social media I had to find it out myself. Weirdly enough, he was the first to take himself off, she was still on my friends list for a few days. Appreciate the response again Sade!
@@nordicshrew8589 damn that's even more rough with the social media thing. Well the the higher path is always uphill which means it can be tiring, frustrating and soul crushing at times but you become a stronger and better person. I think of the right thing like exercise, I hate it and force myself to do it but damn it feels good when it's done. Keep your head up my friend, better friends are out there.
Dang imagine just being a nice person that doesnt want their friend to be hurt in a relationship of lies just for other friends to say you were in the wrong and not knowing wouldnt hurt anyone.
They sound fake, no offence, but you were totally in the right.
Edit: but anonymous tipping would have been good cause you seem like a good person that didnt deserve to lose friends.
I once saw someone beat up someone else. I told him to stop and he said it's none of my business. Then, the victim also told me it's none of my business.

When the right thing is more likely to cause more problems than just dealing with it effectively
Not everyone deserves kindness
When ppl talk about over population being a problem they should look at this subreddit when deciding who needs to go
First Story: 4 years ago, I once had female co-worker who came from a poor family and had a difficult background. We talked a lot and then, when her younger sister became sick, she was in a pinch. She asked everyone to lend her some money, nobody did. When I lent her some, she promised she would return the money when she had enough. Some weeks passed, her mother passed away, she needed money for the funeral and I lent her, again. Fast forward 4 months, I thought she would have saved up enough to pay me back. Some context, back then I was still in college and was just a part-time worker so I kind of needed the money back. Guess what? She disappeared, along with all of the money which she owed me (totaled roughly 952$) not a word, no contact info.
Second Story: 2 years ago, when I was studying abroad in Japan after my college graduation, I lent some money to my roommate for minor stuffs who is 4 years younger than me. I kind of knew him before we started our overseas study so I thought he would return the money to me later. He was a wreck and refused to study, got kicked out of the school and even back to our country. What is worse is that I found out later that this mofo comes from a wealthy family and the reason he asks me for money is that he....*drum rolls*... gave it to his girlfriend (whom he met at school) who owed a lot of money for unknown reason and yet, this mofo dumped her much later anyway. He owed me 12,000 Yen (equals 112$).
I am from a South East Asian country, so 952$ and 112$ was a shit ton of money for some college kid like me.
There were some other minor instances when I helped someone I got "played" instead, but these two are my biggest "No good deed goes unpunished" examples for me.
From then on, I sworn to myself that I would never lend anyone money or go out of my way to help anyone, ever again. FUCK BEING A GOOD GUY.
damn I hope things are alright for you now, there needs to be more good/smart people in this world
btw ima go to japan for collage so wish me luck my friend

32:48 no one will vilify you if you hit a woman who's assaulting you first, women fought for equality in the 50s if they want to throw a punch at a man then women should be ready to take a punch like a man

@@adamperry4610 feminism, equality for men and woman but dont you dare make women equal to men

@@TimpBizkit Irrelevant. Its not about logic anymore. Its just one of those beliefs people have. They don't think about why men don't hit girls, they just know men don't hit girls. Its much in the same ballpark as punishing prisoners. A lot of people are so hell bent on punishment they don't bother to think of why any of this is supposed to be done or not. It doesn't help that people end up deriving pleasure from it.
@@Merilirem that's actually such a good point. that really made me think (the "why men don't hit girls" statement). Perfectly summed up everything. I always knew it was because most times they are inherently stronger than us, but like it's really easy to forget the reason behind the statement.
I was too drunk to drive after leaving a party so I slept in my car in the apartment parking lot. I woke up to a cop shining his flashlight in my car and he arrested me for a DUI, even though I hadn't driven while drunk.
Ughhhhhhsjsjadafahj
If you don't have your keys on you they can't do shit. You might get your car impounded but that's the worst you can expect. If your keys are on you, you are in your vehicle, and you are drunk, you're pretty much fucked, even if you never had the intention to, the fact you are drunk, in your car, with your keys on you is probable enough cause
@tinylilmatt what a miserable cop, it's Christmas dude
If you're sitting in the front seat, and drunk, apparently that's all it takes. Car doesn't need to be on either. But oh yes let's wake someone up so we can claim dui. They need to go find a drunk who's actively awake and making a scene instead of picking on one that's just sleeping and not bothering anyone.
Omg @ the first story

@Jobje Rabbeljee Could you elaborate and prove it?
@@javahunt9222 exactly
I don't even get it, the cops would be there to give statements. Not to mention that being 1% liable doesn't mean shit, I was just in an accident a few months back where someone stopped abruptly in the middle of 5oclock traffic on the busiest bridge on my city, I barely nudged her car because I was in shock that she was stopping, then another car going full speed hit me and totalled both our cars. I got out and noticed that there were no cars in front of her for at least 25 meters. I was held at fault for half because I hit her, despite her abruptly stopping. I asked the agent "so, can I just for from 50 to nothing in the middle of 5oclock traffic with no one in front of me for no reason and make the other person behind me pay?" And they said "it would be fraud if it was found you had no reason to stop". I got half back for my car. Makes no sense to me she was able to somehow be at fault and take everything from him, couldn't he have countersued her??

My first aid teacher told us this story when he was in Berlin and successfully resuscitated a mid 40s women who had a heart attack by performing cpr
Well to actually perform cpr he had to remove her bra
She sued him for sexual assault, but thankfully every judge just laughed at her
He said if hed known that she would sue him over saving her life, he would have left her lying on the floor
The first story is so tragic. I don’t get it. I’m a lifeguard and we’re told to always ask for consent for care. If the person is unconscious consent is implied and we’re protected under Good Samaritan laws. OP should have been protected, but idk if laws like this exist in other countries or not.
From what I gathered here in the comments is that it varies state to state and most states require you to have some first aid training before the Good Samaritan act applys and where I live the Good Samaritan act doesn’t cover those with emergency first response training so EMTs paramedics and lifeguards Aren’t covered by the Good Samaritan act
"If unconscious then consent is implied"...Ahh! The Bill Cosby rule...
When I was a kid I watched a play about a native Bilby (a small marsupial) who rescues a feral cat from a drain. But at the end of the play the cat turns on him and kills him just because she can. The lesson was supposed to be about how dangerous cats are to native wildlife, but the other lesson I learned was that some people are not worth helping.
Watch all the fanders say “When the friends care more about how many people are at their wedding than who is at their wedding (which you didn’t feel comfortable going to in the first place) and you missed out on a career-advancing opportunity”
A lady got mad at me cause I was holding a door and she could do it herself because she was a "strong independent woman ". So because I'm so nice I did as I was told and closed the door ( slammed the door in her face) and than she yelled at me for that.🤦♂️
That first story genuinely made me hit something. Is there no protection for people who do good deeds, can anyone just sue anyone for any reason nowadays?
I actually have one for this. Back when I was in college I stayed up a lot of money doing tutoring and my little part time job. I saved a good chunk and it was enough to go have a summer of the lifetime when I graduated that year. My mom called me to tell me that my aunt was in a bind and needed some money and she gave it to her and she didn't know how she was going to pay for a house expense. So me being the generous person I am I said yeah sure you can take the money out of my account. During this time I was in the Harry Potter Club on campus and we managed to fundraise enough to have an all-expense-paid trip to go to be opening in Florida. All I needed to do was find my plane ticket over there so when I went to get my money back my mom said she didn't have it and that she wasn't going to pay for the trip back. I asked her again if she had the money and she said she would give it to me whenever. I'm pissed but Let It Go. Two years later my laptop finally gave out on me and I was working a very small crappy part-time job and use the savings to try and fix my computer before giving up and just buying a new one blowing through everything I had. It was around Christmas so thankfully with some few sales and bundles going on I got a pretty decent laptop that still works great today with no problems but all of my savings were gone. My mom thought that the first of the year will be a great opportunity to pay me back the money she borrowed after watching me struggle for a good two months With my computer troubles that I needed for work. Had the nerve to say paid in full. And still gloats today that I couldn't have gone to the Harry Potter theme park when it opened. Yeah from that moment on I decide to never let any family borrow money again.
thats a bruh moment
@@thebellboy3196 especially when I found out later that it was a very clever ruse to force me to not go to that theme park. Still very sore about it 😔
@@13Senko how are you going to get back at her? 😠
@@13Senko wow I am sorry that that happened, that's such a mean way to keep you from doing something fun that you worked hard to enjoy.
@@aquabluerose7734 thank you sweetie. To make things even worse identification for it now is that the two girls I was going with would be together and I will be the odd one out. Which would have been a big deal to me because even though I really wasn't close to the two girls we all had separate rooms and I didn't mind just being by myself most of the time as long as I got to be around the theme park. She used to deny that it ever happened. Or downplay it so that it looked like I was just being over-dramatic for nothing. But thankfully I'm in a much better place and have been sticking up for myself especially against her bullshit
Doing the right thing is almost never worth it when it comes to today’s world. There is always someone out there trying to screw you, and if there isn’t, then don’t worry because it’s bound to happen that someone will appear with the only intention of screwing you for everything you have. Never give them the chance. Always look after yourself and those you love.
One time, I found Someone's lost wallet near the entrance of the store and my mom and I returned it to his house (he was living with his parents). We come back and find him, sitting near the store, so we offer him a ride. I don't like talking negativly about others, but He stunk INCREDIBLY BAD. His body odor was Legendary levels of stinkiness. After we dropped him off, my mom and I had to find a way to cheaply get the smell out of our car, because we couldn't afford someone to shampoo the seat he was sitting in. We bought Febreze, Antibacterial wipes, and did our best to get the smell of pure sewage waste out of our car, but it lingered for a good week or two.
Also, my mom and roommates tried offering a place for a former homeless friend of my roommate's (it was her and her son that moved in) and those two became the most obnoxious roommates we ever had. Here's a list of what happened:
- They never took showers, so our living room would smell like something died in it
- They had a dog that they neglected to take care of. It was a Yorkie/Poodle mix and it had longish fur. She never brushed it and no one was allowed to help take care of her
- Soap and body wash was stolen
- A box of my mom's prescription Fetanyl infused patches were stolen
- She was often loud and obnoxious, where she'd turn the TV up to almost full blast and my room is next to the living room.
- She would often break things that weren't hers.
We eventually kicked them out. Despite my Cynophobia (fear of dogs), her dog deserves better
I hope you and your mom are doing better now, btw did you keep the dog
Never washed but stole soap
You're the stinker
@@dbl3323 sadly, we couldn't.
Of course , the mom is a total junkie and her son's following her goofy example. Why do you think they're homeless and the Fentanyl patches went missing?
What 1% fault?! He saved her life and on top of that she was driving over the speed limit?! The hell did you do wrong? NOTHING YOU DID EVERYTHING RIGHT!!!!!
feminists: well you shouldnt have been breathing *proceeds to sue*
"He-He-He hurt me dragging me out! Yes! He's at faulllllt!"
Even though you'd be a lot worse off burning to a crisp but OK, a few scrapes and bruises...! I think I'd be grateful being alive even if the actions of being pulled out paralysed me even though disabled life is not much fun. (Had a hearing one all my life and care for a parent that can't walk anymore so I have some idea)
"You can come to me and not be embarrassed," biggest lie parents tell their kids.
I mean you will be embarrassed but I assume they mean 'you won't be punished' even though that's exactly what happens.
I don't know if that's the biggest lie. Some other contenders for first place would be "god and hell are real", "you can be anything you want to", "just be yourself and people will like you", etc.
@@bonusflaps1749 I will not disagree with you there.
@@bonusflaps1749 Amen!

Yep, I am almost 40 and I've learned if you can not carry liability insurance for doing the right thing, than the only right thing is asking yourself "will this open me up for my liability". If the answer is yes, which pretty much anything can be with a lawyer with lots of charisma might prove.
Doing the right thing now-a-days is do what's right for you or what is ethically right in your career field if there are ethical standards and still have lots of liability insurance, because people with tons of charisma and no soul are a dime a dozen.
I stood up for someone who was getting picked on because he was a bit socially awkward. The guy was looking for validation and for me to get in on it, but I told him to behave. The guy who got picked on took the other guys side and shut me out a little. Made me question the guy tho and how reliable he was as person. Kind of worked out ig
The “don’t hit girls” is terrible. You shouldn’t hurt anyone and if they hurt you , we got equal rights, you can defend yourself
equal rights, equal fights amiright
Yeah. GENDER EQUALITY
I agree. That's why a few guys I know have had the privilege of loosing a fight with a girl..
The first guy? He can't put a price on integrity. He's still the better person and he'll come out on top down the road.
I hope so.
No he wont, not in this life.
When you watch videos of crazy shit happening to people and wonder why no one is helping, remember the first story.
The next time someone asks me why I'm so pessimistic about the world, I'm just gonna send them this video.
This is why people don’t help people.
My mom tried to help out her junkie nephew by giving him a job. He thanked her by breaking into our house while on vacation and stealing her jewelry and my silver anime pocket watch
It's awful how some of these stories, people literally saved others lives and got punished for doing so.
The first story, "No good deed goes unpunished."
Always raised an eyebrow to that phrase. It's people like that woman that has either corrupted or broken the concept of helping and in other cases, forgiveness.
Who’s “A”, and why are you asking them this?
Tis’ith me, A
'A' = At (Typo error I'm guessing?)
19:00
honestly, that person did the right thing, yes. but that person just lost a family member, they were in shock. you really can’t expect much different from a person who has just had that happen to them.
That one was definitely understandable; when I lost a loved one in a sudden traumatic accident, I went completely irrational with grief and screamed at a total stranger over nothing. (I apologised afterwards, but even so).
I'm glad the man that helped the homeless man getting jumped knocked that girl out. I'm totally against domestic violence but when a female is attacking a male and he defends himself by hitting her all of a sudden he's a violent women beater. I was attacked at the beach by a girl during a fight between my male friend and her male friend I was just watching and suddenly this 6' 200+ lbs girl(I'm 5'8" 150lb) punches me hard AF in the back of my head. not bragging but I'm a 3rd degree black belt in tae kwon do and been practicing mma regularly for the last 18 months. so when she was coming again for another hit I blocked and countered and she hit the ground harder than I intended and the crowd that gathered turned on me and started to grab me and hold me there till the cops arrived. I ran and found an officer patrolling the beach and explained the situation myself and after questioning the crowd and heard she unprovoked hit me first then tried again before I defended myself. she got arrested. but I decided to not press charges so they released her. but it's fucked how our society screams about gender equality but has a coronary when a female gets hit in the process of attacking someone.
people like this dont learn easily, you probaly should have pressed charges
as a female, this crap pisses me off. Like teh people witnessed that crap and still had the nerve. Now I understand the concern as she fell hard. But I woulda felt the same for you as well. she was just weak. But like, to deny she was teh one that attacked first. Jeez.
You definitely should have charged her cuz she's a bully who likes to throw her weight around that's the only reason she attacked you to begin with. I wonder if you still can?
Once I was at an outdoor church service (COVID) and there was a woman in the back standing up next to her husband. Even though I hate interacting like this, I decided that I would be kind since it was Easter and go find her a seat. I found a folding chair and went back and asked if she would like it. She said “Oh sorry, I just had back surgery and I can’t sit down.”. I walked back to my seat red faced from embarrassment with every ones eyes on me (not in a bad way but like because they didn’t know what I was doing walking around with a chair). Never again.
No reason to be embarrassed. People either didn't know what happened or thought it was nice of you to try to help her. I'm sure she thought so too. Chances are the mere demonstration of kindness was something somebody there needed to see to reassure themselves that people are generally good and not the toxic nutjobs we hear about 24/7.
I had lent money to a friend who needed it for rent. Swore hed pay me back in two days. Went to his apartment and found it was empty. He messaged me asking for more money and I told him if I ever see him again ill take my money back or take red. He used it to get a fix.
What about "Good Samaritan laws"? Also, you can love someone and not like or not want anything to do with them...
Those are state level laws. Not all states have them. And it seems like some of the states that have them have prerequisites that you'd have to have met before engaging in life saving actions in order to be covered by them. I think for those states it's so first responders are always automatically covered.
In New York, they only apply in situations involving drug overdoses
@@lwllms31 so basically, the risk isn't whether you've saved a life or not, but whether or not you get sued by the patient. This makes me want to think twice before intervening and that is very sad.
@@ultimatehawkeyefangirl what do you mean, like you're protected administering CPR if patient has overdose? What if there was a pedestrian hit by a car, could I potentially not be protected? This is lunacy.
@@jessiejeanne9717 in the few states that even have them, they're *exclusive* to trained/professional first responders, so you're generally not covered without up-to-date certifications.
For the first story, my advice for everyone is get a dash camera... I have one in my vehicle and it has saved me a LOT of trouble.
I remember when a girl in class was bragging about having her friends credit card. Like full out flaunting it.
I told the teacher. She took them off her. And the owner of the credit card who is never not pregnant. Came into school to scream at me.
I don't know what crime the cop in the story at 7:30 dreamt up, but it's perfectly lawful to arrest someone yourself if you witnessed them do something illegal.
It’s called citizen’s arrest right
I tried to help my friend to not keep f*cking up in a friendship and she got all shitty with me and said I had no business to poke my head in it. I was just tryna help. But I talked to my teacher about it and he told me his own story and said "sometimes you have to let them fall."
As soon as I read the first few lines of the first story, I knew exactly where it was going because I heard from a lawyer once that although it may be a moral obligation to save someone, it is not a legal obligation and you probably shouldn’t because if you “save them in the wrong way” they can actually sue you. For example, doctors say that when giving CPR and doing chest compressions, breaking their ribs is completely normal and is worth it to save their life, but they could actually sue you for that.
This law system sounds horrible. In my country it's illegal to *not* help a person if you are capable of doing so in the situation. You also can't sue someone who was trying to help you (if your life was actually in danger) even if that person fucked up.
These stories just make me trust no one. I always want to help anyone in need, as much as I can, but if I'm gonna get screwed over. I'm not gonna help no one but my family, relatives, and my friends too.
Yup, never saving anyone... ever. The first story reminded me of the fire scene in toy story where woody saves the bear but he turns on them.
As a Mom of 4 girls and 3 boys; don't hit girls but if anyone is hitting you KNOCK THEIR ASS DOWN. Assault is assault, defending yourself from bodily harm doesn't require a consideration of gender.
Things like these make me want to grab my knife, roll up my sleeves, and make the best god damn fish tocos I can with my ability.
Fish tocos sounds interesting, what's the recipe for that?
"You could have saved them, why didn't you??"
"Didn't want to get sued. 🤷♀️"
Wow...that first story...Makes me second guess saving someone...
My god dude, the guy who saved those girls by being a sober driver got raped. Probably be cheaper to go by taxi at that rate.
For the dude being assaulted by a woman, have her arrested for assault and battery. No one should put up with that kind of shit.
My friend asked me to give her my honest opinion on what I thought of her choice of college. As she was always honest and blunt with me, I told her that the college she was thinking of (big state school) would probably not be a good idea, since the large number of people at our high school caused her massive anxiety and stress. She still won’t speak to me and it’s been over five years.
My dad once mentioned that he had to give gas money to a certain person for driving him to the store.
Me: You mean the same person who still owes you $150 after you helped her by paying for her driver's permit AND her driver's license?
Yeah. Same one.
I'm glad to hear that the cat savoir guy was finally able to see the true colors of law enforcement. We all know good and God damn well that they won't go looking for a stolen cat.
That one time I stopped to help a bird. The bird was fine, just stunned but, while doing that, I lost my purse.
Yes, I did get it back, yes, I lost a few things but, all in all, if I could do it over again, I'd have carried my wallet in my backpack but still I'd have helped that bird.
First story, if I was OP and knew the outcome I would’ve roasted marshmallows over the burning car with her inside.
"Oh, are you a police officer now?"
me: "Oh are you a lawyer now?"
Helping my grandmother. With anything. She’s a narcissist and constantly belittles people for the smallest things. When my mum lived with her, she made us vacuum like 4 times a week. And the house was pretty much spotless before the vacuuming. I missed one spot, behind a door in the bathroom. One spot. She screamed at me, instead of saying “oh sweetie you missed a spot!” She said “ECHO(not my real name, just the character in my profile pic’s name) YOU MISSED A SPOT! GET OVER HERE NOW!!!!” Since I didn’t feel like taking the vacuum out, I decided to use the small handheld vacuum. I used it for the stairs earlier and my grandmother got mad at me for not using the vacuum for it. A large clunky vacuum wider than a single stair is a really big hazard and it has fallen down the stairs almost breaking them before. It’s a safety percussion, and also less agonizing. When I got out the handheld one for the bathroom, my grandmother screamed. “DONT USE THAT THING, USE THE VACUUM” I almost said “this is a vacuum, just a small one” and to this day I wonder how she would have reacted. But I grabbed the big vacuum, spent like 2 minutes setting it up, turned it on for 3 seconds to vacuum a tiny spot, then took another 2 minutes to put the vacuum away. She’s done shittier things than that, and if anyone wants me to tell a few of those stories feel free to ask.
“We had to punish someone for this” unless it was the person who actually stole from the register, NO YOU FREAKING DIDN’T!! Literally all of these make my blood boil. These bosses and government officials are freaking DUMB. And then there are the bonkers random people who scream at the would be helpers because reasons.
Was honest to the judge got sent to jail next time I'm lying
8:08 yep.. there was a case somewhere, I think in Canada, where a guy was robbing a story, and another guy subdued him and kept him there until the cops came, he was arrested for kidnapping.
Aw, poor veterinarian. I hope their Hippocratic Oath still stands proud despite their bosses getting angry 🙁.
And people ask me why I have no empathy or sympathy...
🤣🤣🤣 That last one OP admitted a mistake, gets fired.
Commenter says Snitches get Stitches!
If I'm ever in a life or death situation, and you can save me. Please do it. I will gladly do the exact same for you. I value my life far more than making "easy" money.
For me, it was when I tried to help this girl on the school bus from bullies. I don’t remember how the conflict started but I think I do remember them taking jabs at her albinism. I felt it was right to tell her not to listen to them. She ignored me & continued to argue back. Fast forward to a class I had with her & she was like “Were you the girl on the bus?” or something. This was a surprise being that I thought she ignore me because she was too prideful at the moment. She began to get really clingy with me since & called me her friend when I didn’t want to. I’m sure it was probably hard for her to make friends I guess, but she was really annoying! I may come off as a bitch but I’m so glad I stopped seeing her after high school graduation.
Where I live, there are people everywhere pretending to be poor and begging for money or people asking you to "donate" something after giving you a free magazine or a rose that will die off after a day. Also, there are a lot of con artists asking you if you can change them some money, only to steal it from you without you even noticing it. I also heard that the actual street beggars (if there are any) will spend whatever you give them on alcohol, which will make the entire situation even worse. And that's why everyone around me, including my family, friends, and strangers on the street, discourage me from ever donating anything ever. I hope you never get into financial trouble where I live.
Of course. Give ALL your life time saved money to a coworker. There’s a line between selflessness and carelessness
How exactly does saving someone's life and being not at fault in a car accident make you at fault?
Must have.... grazed their arm on glass or something stupidly small and healable. Heck knows.
26:44 i have some mad respect for that Samoan dude he could have easily ganged up on him with those other people but no he had some honour in him and let op get the hell out of there
People need to learn to appreciate acts of genuine kindness, and stop demonizing people who go out of their way to help a stranger
Lawsuits against people who saves you when inaction is very high chance of death and emergency services won't make it in time should be considered frivilous,and tossed immediately
This is why being an antihero is better than being a hero or a villain
First guy, if this is true, news to sue his insurance company.
But I believe good Samaritan laws prevent this kind of crap, and that most lawyers would have a field day with a crap suit like this--if the court didn't just dismiss it..
I'm done.
Drew the drug addict boss made my stomach lurch. 04:50
I work at Taco Bell and a guy came in who seemed to be genuinely tired from running and asked for something to drink. I gave him a free water. The guy took the cup, turned around to leave and threw the cup out without even looking at it. Probably wanted a free soda the POS.
At about 13:00 or so, the story of Mom kicking out her daughter over daughters' personal problems, people don't understand how she can still love the woman whom kicked out her own child. Think about this: The one person whom carried You for nine months (technically ten months, but whats four weeks?), there is an inherent deep need to LOVE a person, even while despising whom they are. It is a strange dichotomy. It is truly crazy making, I feel for the poster. It is hard to dislike the person whom gave You life; harder still, to live with Your self for not always liking their decisions and 'hating' yourself for the resentment. Do You always Love Your Mother, if so, hug her tight for all those that can't do that because their own mother is toxic. My own mother told me years ago, "No, You can't move back but (my child) will always have a place." (Her husband had kicked me out of my place while they contemplated divorce) That was over 14 years ago (her and her husband worked it out but he left me with three months of unpaid rent) and they are still together but I had to clean up the mess they made, all because "Your mom said You wouldn't mind" when I called my mom she said "I told him to ask You." WTF?!? "He's Your husband, not mine. He's not my father."; fast forward fourteen years and we have been homeless for the past two years, and no, she didn't go back on her word, my father wouldn't take us in, and conveniently moved to South Carolina, after the shelter kicked us out because 'Your (my) disability is a liability'.
If I knew then what I know now (NOBODY looks out for ANYONE. Abusers protect Abusers and victims are further victimized when they seek help from anyone in a position to supposedly help), I would have stayed where I was and continued the life of sexual/emotional abuse. Sometimes, the devil you know is slightly more evil than the devil you escaped from. FYI: Shelters don't actually want to HELP people, they just want to hide us, as we are the scum of the earth because we are too sensitive, can't take a joke, don't know how to handle our man, etc.
If my Nana (my moms step mom, not even related to me by blood) hadn't taken me in for those first few months after getting discharged with an unusable left arm due to a blood clot, my mother wouldn't have insisted we stay with her when we weren't telling her what was going on under my Nanas' roof, because f her, then it became a "I'm her mother and (a grandmother) they are coming with me." It is about control, not care.
Thanks again, Brattleboro Women's Crisis Center; now called the Women's Freedom Center (Williston and Chase Street and the others I know about, in Brattleboro), thanks for making me and my kid statistics, no we are not emotionally stable and I still have that Disability you had to get my power chair for. Thanks for setting up therapy for me, oh wait, that was me that reached our and set that up and they wouldn't take me because I couldn't attend every week. Ya'll didn't care because I wasn't Your problem anymore and my folks wouldn't have driven me and wouldn't let me drive, because my folks see different issues with talking to counselors. So, Yes, Sorry if Ya'll thought I was pretending to be a "crippled cunt.", but my physical ailments aren't in my head, but the shit Ya'll pulled is.
It's alright, Karma is more a bitch than my mom taught me how to be.
8:05 next time he should've had the car "accidentally broken down and couldn't move" just right behind the other car, and then he'll "go search for help". Sometimes you just got to fight bs wit bs.
It was a light day at work and I finished early. I noticed that a co-worker had one last thing to do in his list then we could all leave. I was kind of in a rush to go home, so I offered to help him out with the task. As soon as I start helping him, he disappears for a minute then comes back and says "Alright, I'm out. See ya dude," leaving me there to finish it by myself.
Imagine breaking the law and being shocked that you got punished...
