I hope OP in story 2 had a contract or something because I think they can take that guy to court for not delivering on his promise and basically leaving OP homeless! What a piece of trash!
Good luck, the only thing crooked contractors are good at is scamming. More than likely he was doing work under an LLC which I believes means OP can only sue the "business" and not the man. It's shady as fuck but sometimes it's easier just to take the loss, the scammers know this which is why they get away with it for so long.
@@darkmask5933 Sadly true, which is why if I ever get work done on a house I own, I'm getting a contract that in bold face writing says, "I can sue you if you damage my house more than upgrading it".
@@darkmask5933 I feel like at the very least it's worth pursuing just to have the legal documentation to prove his current housing situation is not his fault. It kinda sounds like OP's ex wouldn't hesitate to fuck him over either, and being homeless could easily lose him custody of his kids. But I'm sure his ex would have a harder time proving he's an unfit parent if OP can prove that his financial/housing troubles are a direct result of the contractor's actions. I'm sure the judge would at least allow unsupervised visitation until he gets everything sorted out and can properly provide a safe home for his kids again
@@darkmask5933even then if he gets a judgment and he doesn’t pay cant OP basically get a lien from the judge on the business or even be able to repo the businesses “tools” as payment. I feel like I’ve seen things like that done by courts if the owner of the business doesn’t pay. When a court says to do something and you don’t they really don’t take that lightly.
Yeah, I would go after that contractor’s license; if he even has one to begin with. And I’m sure the “friend” that connected you with the contractor should be happy to put OP up until their house is ready
Someone else mentioned staying with that “friend” and OP responded saying the “friend” told him it’s not his problem: “He already told me that's not his problem. It's just business and he can't tell if the contractor was trying to screw me over or if I tried to screw him.”
Story 4: OP’s husband saw an opportunity to do something spontaneous and slightly extravagant, which they both knew they could easily afford. Maybe he saw her in the earrings and thought, “man, I love that woman!” It’s okay if OP “never has the heart” to tell her husband she didn’t like the gift, because she should cherish it!!
I hope she never tells them. I'm sure he'd be much happier if she instead fawned over them and made it clear how much she treasured them for the rest of their lives.
that man is a keeper if he is gonna go that far for a girl so don’t be ashamed be glad he bought them if i had a man who would buy me something like that i wouldn’t even let death separate me from him i would literally fight the grim reaper to death
@@ZombieSazza my heart absolutely breaks for him. I've been in a situation not too dissimilar where you're losing everything, find some gossamer thread to hold on to, and find out it was actually sapping what little you had left.
I thought he was gonna drop the ring over the edge lol Did not expect him to accidentally flash people. I guess it makes for a fucking hilarious proposal story.
Yeah... my now-husband tried the "you look really pretty under the moonlight" line on me really early into our dating life. I say _tried_ because what _actually_ came out of his mouth was "You look pretty in the dark." 😂 lmao. He's never living that one down.
Story 3: I heard this confusion is common. It sucks, but people are just way too used to only seeing children being short. I hope both OP and the guy forget this
I once used the Batman line at work. I rode a motorcycle, and wore dark helmet, black leather armor jacket, gloves and boots. Getting on the elevator, a lady looks at me and asks why I'm wearing all this stuff? I look at her and gruffly say, "I'm Batman." We both got a good laugh.
Last story: I had the same thought. The poor date just wanted to impress OP with their awesome skating skills and do the whole “here, hold onto my arm, I’ll lead you safely” shtick and OP misread the situation tremendously. …but hilariously for us 😅
Story 1 - Email was sent OUTSIDE of workhours, cant blame OP. Even if you are on a contract, you are not paid for the hours outside your normal work schedule.
totally. i don't acknowledge things scheduled/sent to me off hours (e.g. someone sends a calendar invite at 6pm for a meeting an hour before i normally start my day the next day - sorry, didn't see it! - if it was sent earlier, i'll get up early and attend (don't have set hours at my workplace because our team is spread thru multiple timezones))
Yeah, no. I'm not normally one for litigation, but OP should *sue* the crap out of that "contractor" and have a serious conversation with the "friend" who recommended him.
Story 5: Rslash, he was high. He thought the letters on his shirt were melting. I think the better advice is: if you think the letters on your shirt are melting, don't try making a move on anyone.
I can hear the smile in rSlash's voice during the intro. This is gonna be good. 🙂 *First OP:* I feel for OP, but this story was oddly wholesome. Shoutout to the client for trying to smooth things over with OP. Did anyone else think rSlash was going to use his Batman voice for the test of the story? Lol *Second OP:* Poor guy. I hope he's able to sue the "contractor." *Third OP:* OP's heart was in the right place at least, lol *Fourth OP:* OP's husband's heart was in the right place at least, lol. This sounds like something my dad would do for my mom or me. *Fifth OP:* First of all, I think OP's friends were messing with him. Second, I don't know how mushrooms work, but why would OP immediately jump to getting naked without checking things with his friend? Awkward... *Sixth OP:* ... But did she say yes? She did! *Seventh OP:* Ice skating injuries are no joke. I "only" fell on my outer thigh, and it hurt like hell. I can't even imagine the pain OP went through. Also, former hockey player? You know that man got mad cake 😋
I fucked up my knee/shin from ice skating, a fair chunk of it was completely numb for years, only like 3 years ago I finally got the feeling back in it
For the Nakes story: I wanna say that this is NO EXCUSE for getting naked as making a move because that still to far, BUT, I do wanna say that they were under the influence of MAGIC MUSHROOMS, which certainly does some crazy things to your perception of reality and your thought processes.
To the scammed OP, you can file divorce and leave all payments to your wife because you don't live there anymore. Unless you plan to finish paying the house and kick her out instead.
Hiking story: tbh the flashing part is innocent enough. I expected OP to climb on a rock and then pee off the side - accidentally peeing on the trail down below where other people were walking or something similar.
Second story: that's why you should NEVER hire "friends of friends" to do contracting work like that. Always do your research and choose a legitimate business with good ratings.
That is absolutely ridiculous, seeing as how small businesses rely on word of mouth advertising. There's absolutely nothing saying a "friend of a friend" can't be a licensed, insured business owner. OP's failure to verify credentials and obtain a contract for work is NOT an indictment on small businesses.
@@SkunkApe407 Exactly. My dad has been a self employed carpenter for around 20 years or something, and he has no advertisement other than word of mouth and his logo on his work van. Up until my youngest brother started working for him last year he have been the sole person in the company
Earring story: From a guy's perspective, he may know that you don't have a lot of jewlery, so he sees you suggesting that you like it to mean that its special. Also even though you won't wear it often, when you go to friends weddings, special occassions, etc you will have at least one pair of really good earrings, like how many giys only have 1 or 2 good suit jackets
While I agree 100% with this, sadly, in a lot of divorce cases, the man still has to pay for the house, alimony, child support, and sometimes even car payments while the wife doesn’t have to do anything and husband is left homeless. It’s so unfair to men so I’m not surprised that many guys just refuse to get married or have prenups. Wife was a complete b
@@crybebe2003 and if they don't pay what happens? They go to jail and can't pay. So they don't pay and then can't pay or they can pay and go homeless. Even if jail you have shelter and food. Seems like a no brainer there
@@bigpoppajersh I believe wage garnishment comes before jail time. At which point the money owed would be deducted directly from OPs pay before OP gets paid.
@@Ziergon unless he works under the table. There are many places that do that where you wouldn't think they do. My friend worked at a national sandwich chain and was paid cash daily at the end of his shift
I can see two ways to handle what happened in story 1. First way: "Guys, what they hell are you talking about? I never came in last Friday, I was sick and asked my buddy Wayne to cover for me. Did he do a good job?" And then NEVER say otherwise. Second way: Next Friday, come in dressed as the Joker, Next Friday, come in dressed as Spider-Man, Next Friday come in dressed as Superman...just keep the 'super' theme going for as long as you can before management steps in, try and get the whole office into it!
Holy hell, the sudden Batman voice was so unexpected, but that was a solid impression! Glad the client was cool with OP Batman being at the meeting. XD
Story 2: a friend of mine had a similar story. So he found out the contractor had embezzled a small fortune in tools and materials. When my friend found out, he fired him and demanded his money back, but the contractor kicked him and fled. Now my friend hasn't had his money and materials returned, but the contractor will not need a glove for his left hand for the rest of his life.
Story one: reminds me of the time that I wore my cosplay of the tails doll from the sonic series to school. I got so many odd looks, wearing the costume of a male character as a female was probably not the best idea on my part. But the cosplay was so comfortable and flooffy.
Had a similar thing happen at work where I wore my Mandalorian (Din Jarin) costume, and found out the halloween costume thing was cancelled last-minute due to low participation. I didn't care, I just kept it up. Even worked in a bit of Mandalorian dialogue when going to the breakroom and someone asked if I could bring them a coffee, I responded "I can bring it in warm, or I can bring it in cold."
Rest in peace, Batman. Oh man, that contractor is a scumbag. OP's ex is also a scumbag. Oh god, poor OP in the third story. He "rescued" a man, not a child. In the 4th story, I would make those earrings heirlooms for any younger family members, even if you don't have kids. Even if you didn't really want the earrings, they can be precious to someone you care about in the future. My God, those earrings are 10x the max of what I would spend on earrings for anyone, though. Story 5: bro! Making a move isn't taking off all your clothes in the woods! I've watched enough horror movies to know that's how you get killed by evil clowns. Then you'll need Batman to come save you. Story 6: An unforgettable proposal. For everyone involved. Every single hiker along the way will never forget this. Story 7: I can only say, ouch.
There was a small update for the second story. OP talked to a lawyer and was able to move back into his house, his wife wasn't happy and filed a motion to have him removed, and OP's filed a countermotion to have her removed instead. He's found an electrician to fix up the electrical mess, still working on other contractors for the rest of it, and has decided to sell the house to make up the losses. Nothing on if he's going after the original "contractor".
R/slash is like my morning cup of coffee, I can't function until I've had my daily video. Good Morning everyone! I may not know you but I still hope you have a good day! 💕
Story 1 is exactly why I dread going to costume parties. I always expect to show up in costume and end being the only one dressed up. I'll bring my costume with me and change there only if I see other people actually in costume. This actually happened to me last Halloween at a work costume party, where 80% of my coworkers changed their minds last minute about wearing a costume.
Story 2: OP got the Contractor Special, as my dad calls it. They rip your house apart and basically hold you hostage, they’re like sneaky mechanics but it’s your whole house.
My friend’s mother had two interior (not load-bearing) walls demolished and some updates to her kitchen that were essentially cosmetic… it took them almost a full year and 80k to do it… I don’t know if she knows she got scammed but I feel awful for her
First Story: Lmao, at least everyone was having fun with OP's mistake. Funny how even that client was having fun with it Second Story: Wow, this really sucks for OP. This contractor basically scammed OP and screwed him over. This is why u can’t be too trusting of people Third Story: Ohhh noooo lmao. I don’t know how I’d live that down or how OP lived this one down 😂. The intention was good buuuuut it was executed poorly Fourth Story: Either OP's husband was completely clueless it was a joke or he wanted to show off. Either way, OP got new earrings lol Fifth Story: Shrooms and misinformation clearly don’t mix well lmao. OP should’ve normally shoot his shot, not get naked Sixth Story: "I see ur weiner" had me 😂😂😂. OP tried to propose but forgetfulness screw that up Seventh Story: I mean, OP did show off her skating skills it just wasn’t as good as she thought they were lol. I’m sure this will be a funny story for them in the future
Story 1: honestly if something like that would happen to me but my boss, colleagues and the client were amused and OK with it I would just lean into it and have fun.
OP from the first story should pretend that he doesn’t know what they’re talking about: he wasn’t in the office that day and he asked Batman to cover his shift.
@@TerranosaurRex I sort of get what you are saying, but to email after hours to cancel a planned work activity the night before it’s to happen and be surprised that someone showed up ready for the activity anyway seems like an expectation that employees check email after hours. I’ve had employees for 15 years. If I plan events that have to be cancelled, I phone, text, and email if needed. But in something like this, if it would be inappropriate for clients to see people in costume the plan should have included instruction to bring a change of clothes in case it’s needed, because shit happens.
@Sunny D true. But instead of emailing them. What more could they have done? I'm not arguing that your wrong. Your 100% correct. I just feel as thats not what's happening in the story
Story 1 - He now has an excuse for everything in the future. "Why were the TPS reports submitted late?" "Because I'm BATMAN!" a little embarrassing, sure, but his cubicle is about to be frequently decorated when he comes back from vacations. I'm sure he's now referred to as Bruce or Batman by some of his co-workers too. If assigned a trainee, welcome Robin!
Really had me on a rollercoaster of emotions starting with Batman working at an office, then somebody struggling with their life after they got screwed over and then some dude rescuing a dwarf from traffic.
@@marjoriejohnston4905 I mean, probably not the best idea to do them in the middle of the woods, but I'm not gonna knock someone for wanting an experience.
@@Galanthos there are better things to 'experience' than that. Travel, museums, good books, movies, video games, time with loved ones. Things that truly enhance life instead of wrecking it
@@marjoriejohnston4905 Psychedelics are going to do a lot less damage to your life than completely non-stigmatized substances like Alcohol, Caffeine, or Cigarettes, but go off I guess.
if i was the girl in the proposal story i probably would of been laughing after saying that then i would of most likely said yes to the proposal and i hope she did too
Story 7- as a figure skater, it feels so surreal to hear a story about someone falling THAT BAD when skating, because in my head it isn’t hard to skate. I remember this one time at the rink somebody fell and a hockey kid (😡) was recklessly skating and sliced the dudes finger. I don’t remember if it was a clean cut off or he got a deep gash, but don’t underestimate skates, the non-rental skates are SHARP!
I’ve got a similar story to the ice skating story. I met my boyfriend through Tinder. He worked as an assistant coach to a junior hockey team (16-20 year olds) and invited me to the game. I had a great time and loved it. It was my first game. Then after it was over, he invited me to go skating with him at the rink. I was so excited and also nervous because I’d never been skating before. He helped me put on my skates and we started to walk to the rink. Well, my Cerebral Palsy was a bitch and I could barely walk. My left ankle buckled so much because my balance was shit. Didn’t even make it onto the ice before I had to take them off. I apologized profusely because I was so embarrassed and he just kissed my forehead and told me that it was fine. I then explained to him other challenges (I also have Hydrocephalus) and he was more than accepting. I’d been rejected before because of that and my scars, and I was terrified he’d do the same. To my surprise, he didn’t. He played hockey and said that to him, scars were a badge of honor. We’ve been together for 3 years now and I love him so much.
These stories were so freaking good!! I do feel bad for the OP that got scammed by his contractor and I hope he gets the money back. But I had to laugh at quite a few other stories
That Batman story made my freaking day hahaha 😂 Its honestly so wholesome like, dont worry bro Batman is a beloved character ❤ and rslash the voice also made my day 😂
Story 2: I don’t care if I’m divorcing or separating from someone, if they were in this man’s situation, I will allow them to stay with me for a few months until his house is livable. Especially if we have split custody of any children.
not only is taking your clothes off the wrong move, but also listening to your friends when they say "she's totally into you" bc she asked you to buddy system with her, so she isnt alone in the woods??? what horrible advice XD
I work in an office, and when I was newly hired we had a week of dress up themes one being "zoom day" in which we dress in professional top, and casual bottom. I found the most garish purple basketball shorts I could find, and a suit jacket. While walking in I realized noone around me looked the same...
For the last story, I hope the OP watches then reads comments. When I was in my first year of college, I was asked out by a girl who lived in the dorm room next door to a friend of mine. We decided to go bowling in the next town over, the school was in a small town. On the small two-lane road between towns, I was following a full-size van and talking with my date when the jerk in the van decided that the best course of action to deal with a car waiting to turn left was to dive onto the shoulder and pass illegally, never touching his brakes. When I realized that there was now a car stopped in the lane, I was still travelling at 55-60 mph. I too, tried to follow the van onto the shoulder to avoid the car but ended up clipping his rear bumper. The 70s Dodge Tank I hit only broke its turn signal cover from the bumper, but it tore up my Ford Probe's front bumper and even popped the oil fill cap from the valve cover. No one was hurt and I was able to screw the cap back on and secure the hood down and drive us back to her dorm where she sweetly consoled me over how things went. We dated for three years, to the day, when we got married on our third anniversary of dating. We now have three beautiful children and have been married since 2000. It's really easy to take someone's measure by how they behave in challenging circumstances.
OMFG!! That 2nd story was so heart wrenching!! That "friend" who recommended the contractor is no friend at all. And I really can't stand divorce laws that can keep a guy out of the house he's still paying and leave him homeless. Since feminism is so much stronger, not a single woman should be able to keep everything in a divorce. I am livid after listening to that story.
Hi Davny. I’m a fan from Malawi and I love your videos! I listen every single day and it’s the best part of my morning commute. Keep up the amazing work!!
Last time I checked "contractor" means a contracted employee, so if he violates that contract he should forfeit the payment he was supposed to get, in addition to fines and penalties for violating it. The contractor should not only get nothing, but also have to pay that OP for all the damage he did.
A contractor is licensed by the state. A handyman is not a contractor, a block mason is. Many people make that mistake, and wind up paying for it. Know the difference and hire accordingly. You hire a handyman for anything that doesn't require a permit or inspection. You hire a contractor for everything else.
7:51 Trying on earrings?!? Either they were clip-ons, or that store was super gross. It’s not okay to try on earrings in a store, or return them after wearing them… You put them inside a hole in your body. 😖 Also, I know exactly how she feels. It’s really nice when people do over the top things for you, but it can also make you feel super guilty, even if that was never the intent.
Story 2: There used to be a TV show where Adam Carolla would sting and call out crappy contractors for leaving their clients with unfinished or poorly done projects and gave them the chance to fix it or have the clients take legal action against them. I don't think it lasted long and I only saw about three episodes.
Last story: I was a competitive figure skater for 10 years and would take dates to my home rink so that the owners (who were like my second parents) could approve lmfao. I'd also show off like a mofo and hold their hands while I did backwards spirals or dumb stuff like that. The last guy went facefirst into the boards. I never took another date skating after that 😅
For the last story, I didn't go ice skating but rollerblading. I was young, dumb and stupid. The first time I went, I fractured my wrist. The second time, I thought "Maybe I can do it this time." Nope I fractured my ankle right across the joint. I didn't learn my lesson now, but I've learned to fall on my but then use my limbs
Story 4: I don't even have pierced ears. Earrings are beautiful and I even make some for a few people but I don't ever want my ears pierced and I've been gifted them by people who forget lol. I either alter them or give them to my mom lol
That's why you always take an extra set of normal clothes in a bag wherever you do this, or go to the office dressed normally and then change to the suit there.
Story2: I'm sorry OP... We just went through a renovation too and our contractor did the same thing "next week, next week, next week"... He delayed our renovation by 3 months and there are plenty of things that are not yet done. And those that are, are very badly done. We ended up firing the contractor, a week later he told us that he had decided to abandon the work, our reply "sorry? your work was already done"... He is now claiming that we owe him 15K€. He only "finished the work" because we told him that every day he would go over after X date, he'll be paying our rent out of the final tally.
I went to the gym once in a low-budget Batgirl costume, complete with cape, JUST for shits and giggles. Months later, I went to the counter there to ask one of the employees a question. The 2nd guy at the front desk didn't even hear my question - he was too busy doing a double-take and yelling, "HOLY SHIT - Are you BATGIRL!?!?" The first employee also then caught on and demanded to know as well. They were weirdly excited... Apparently, I'd become a fucking legend at that gym location and had become a regular topic of conversation and speculation amongst the employees because of my impromptu dress-up day lmao. I've always enjoyed doing random stuff like that, so it's still a pretty funny story to tell years later.
I feel OP’s pain in the last story. My girlfriend’s a figure skater and I have the coordination of a baby giraffe in rollerblades. Needless to say, our skill levels in skating are vastly different from each other.
Story 1- Don’t show your face at the office, wear a mask. Embrace The Batman. Maybe fight a clown, just for realism.
That would be fighting most people in the office.
Why is Batman sitting at OPs desk? Must be a completely different person...🦇
Imagine being a party clown being hired for an office party, only to get there and fight for your life
Clowns to the left of me, jokers to the right. Here I am, stuck in the middle with you. ❤😂
Fight all clowns on principle.
I hope OP in story 2 had a contract or something because I think they can take that guy to court for not delivering on his promise and basically leaving OP homeless! What a piece of trash!

Last story: I had the same thought. The poor date just wanted to impress OP with their awesome skating skills and do the whole “here, hold onto my arm, I’ll lead you safely” shtick and OP misread the situation tremendously.

I’ve literally done that but with roller skating and can confirm 100% that was the plan
I really hope he went ahead to the hospital so that they could like feel salvage the date
Batman is just dressing for the job he wants, not the job he has. I say, wear the suit every day.

*Fourth OP:* OP's husband's heart was in the right place at least, lol. This sounds like something my dad would do for my mom or me.
*Fifth OP:* First of all, I think OP's friends were messing with him. Second, I don't know how mushrooms work, but why would OP immediately jump to getting naked without checking things with his friend? Awkward...
*Sixth OP:* ... But did she say yes? She did!
*Seventh OP:* Ice skating injuries are no joke. I "only" fell on my outer thigh, and it hurt like hell. I can't even imagine the pain OP went through.
Also, former hockey player? You know that man got mad cake 😋
I hace heard before of people stripping after shrooms
I fucked up my knee/shin from ice skating, a fair chunk of it was completely numb for years, only like 3 years ago I finally got the feeling back in it
Shrooms eff you up. You’re not thinking about rational things At All.
Honestly with shrooms you've got a solid alibi for ending up naked even without thinking you're getting laid.
I feel the fact he took off his shirt because it was melting and she didn't remember he was already shirtless does explain a lot..
For the Nakes story: I wanna say that this is NO EXCUSE for getting naked as making a move because that still to far, BUT, I do wanna say that they were under the influence of MAGIC MUSHROOMS, which certainly does some crazy things to your perception of reality and your thought processes.
To the scammed OP, you can file divorce and leave all payments to your wife because you don't live there anymore. Unless you plan to finish paying the house and kick her out instead.
I heard that and just felt a bit ticked. He is paying for it, why can't he stay there?
He’s renovating a house he bought IN order for him to move out of the house that he allready owns that his wife and kids live in
Hiking story: tbh the flashing part is innocent enough. I expected OP to climb on a rock and then pee off the side - accidentally peeing on the trail down below where other people were walking or something similar.
Same.
That's what I was expecting, too. Like some pee-soaked hiker angrily interrupting his proposal.
Second story: that's why you should NEVER hire "friends of friends" to do contracting work like that. Always do your research and choose a legitimate business with good ratings.
That is absolutely ridiculous, seeing as how small businesses rely on word of mouth advertising. There's absolutely nothing saying a "friend of a friend" can't be a licensed, insured business owner. OP's failure to verify credentials and obtain a contract for work is NOT an indictment on small businesses.
@@SkunkApe407 Exactly.
My dad has been a self employed carpenter for around 20 years or something, and he has no advertisement other than word of mouth and his logo on his work van.
Up until my youngest brother started working for him last year he have been the sole person in the company
@@SkunkApe407 put down the crack pipe, sweetie.
@@AltonV LOL like you matter (here's a hint: YOU DON'T)
@@beccas.7762 you don't either 😁
12:27 that didn't end how I expected. I wanted a dude to shout, "Hey, that's the dude that pissed on us!"
Sue that contractor for everything he has, keep all the emails, take him for everything he has.
Chances are he set up his "business" through an LLC, scammers are smart at being douchebags.
@@darkmask5933 he didn't seem that smart.
Earring story: From a guy's perspective, he may know that you don't have a lot of jewlery, so he sees you suggesting that you like it to mean that its special. Also even though you won't wear it often, when you go to friends weddings, special occassions, etc you will have at least one pair of really good earrings, like how many giys only have 1 or 2 good suit jackets
Exactly. That story was so wholesome. I hope she wears them from every anniversary and major event to remember how much that guy loves her.
Story 2. Stop paying mortgage on the one house. That will help you back into the office. If not the ex can join ya on the street.
While I agree 100% with this, sadly, in a lot of divorce cases, the man still has to pay for the house, alimony, child support, and sometimes even car payments while the wife doesn’t have to do anything and husband is left homeless. It’s so unfair to men so I’m not surprised that many guys just refuse to get married or have prenups. Wife was a complete b
@@crybebe2003 and if they don't pay what happens? They go to jail and can't pay. So they don't pay and then can't pay or they can pay and go homeless. Even if jail you have shelter and food. Seems like a no brainer there
@@bigpoppajersh exactly. It’s so stupid.
@@bigpoppajersh I believe wage garnishment comes before jail time. At which point the money owed would be deducted directly from OPs pay before OP gets paid.
@@Ziergon unless he works under the table. There are many places that do that where you wouldn't think they do. My friend worked at a national sandwich chain and was paid cash daily at the end of his shift
I can see two ways to handle what happened in story 1. First way: "Guys, what they hell are you talking about? I never came in last Friday, I was sick and asked my buddy Wayne to cover for me. Did he do a good job?" And then NEVER say otherwise.
Second way: Next Friday, come in dressed as the Joker, Next Friday, come in dressed as Spider-Man, Next Friday come in dressed as Superman...just keep the 'super' theme going for as long as you can before management steps in, try and get the whole office into it!
Holy hell, the sudden Batman voice was so unexpected, but that was a solid impression! Glad the client was cool with OP Batman being at the meeting. XD
Story 2: a friend of mine had a similar story.
So he found out the contractor had embezzled a small fortune in tools and materials. When my friend found out, he fired him and demanded his money back, but the contractor kicked him and fled.
Now my friend hasn't had his money and materials returned, but the contractor will not need a glove for his left hand for the rest of his life.
Word you should have seen what I did for 20 dollars how many felonies committed in under 30 seconds or less.
Re: Peeing - dude, you can’t leave us hanging like that… Did she say “yes?”
Story one: reminds me of the time that I wore my cosplay of the tails doll from the sonic series to school. I got so many odd looks, wearing the costume of a male character as a female was probably not the best idea on my part. But the cosplay was so comfortable and flooffy.
Had a similar thing happen at work where I wore my Mandalorian (Din Jarin) costume, and found out the halloween costume thing was cancelled last-minute due to low participation. I didn't care, I just kept it up. Even worked in a bit of Mandalorian dialogue when going to the breakroom and someone asked if I could bring them a coffee, I responded "I can bring it in warm, or I can bring it in cold."
Story 6: Damn, don't you hate when nature decides to f**k with you? OP is never recovering from that embarrassment
Idk what’s worse, that or my boyfriend’s situation where the one who told him was a police 😬
Rest in peace, Batman.
Oh man, that contractor is a scumbag. OP's ex is also a scumbag.
Oh god, poor OP in the third story. He "rescued" a man, not a child.
In the 4th story, I would make those earrings heirlooms for any younger family members, even if you don't have kids. Even if you didn't really want the earrings, they can be precious to someone you care about in the future. My God, those earrings are 10x the max of what I would spend on earrings for anyone, though.
Story 5: bro! Making a move isn't taking off all your clothes in the woods! I've watched enough horror movies to know that's how you get killed by evil clowns. Then you'll need Batman to come save you.
Story 6: An unforgettable proposal. For everyone involved. Every single hiker along the way will never forget this.
Story 7: I can only say, ouch.
Nice, I like the complete summary here.
Just not Batman from the first story
There was a small update for the second story. OP talked to a lawyer and was able to move back into his house, his wife wasn't happy and filed a motion to have him removed, and OP's filed a countermotion to have her removed instead. He's found an electrician to fix up the electrical mess, still working on other contractors for the rest of it, and has decided to sell the house to make up the losses. Nothing on if he's going after the original "contractor".
He totally should, darn it! But glad he can at least have his workplace
R/slash is like my morning cup of coffee, I can't function until I've had my daily video. Good Morning everyone! I may not know you but I still hope you have a good day! 💕
Story 1 is exactly why I dread going to costume parties. I always expect to show up in costume and end being the only one dressed up. I'll bring my costume with me and change there only if I see other people actually in costume. This actually happened to me last Halloween at a work costume party, where 80% of my coworkers changed their minds last minute about wearing a costume.
Story 2: OP got the Contractor Special, as my dad calls it. They rip your house apart and basically hold you hostage, they’re like sneaky mechanics but it’s your whole house.
My friend’s mother had two interior (not load-bearing) walls demolished and some updates to her kitchen that were essentially cosmetic… it took them almost a full year and 80k to do it… I don’t know if she knows she got scammed but I feel awful for her
First Story: Lmao, at least everyone was having fun with OP's mistake. Funny how even that client was having fun with it
Second Story: Wow, this really sucks for OP. This contractor basically scammed OP and screwed him over. This is why u can’t be too trusting of people
Third Story: Ohhh noooo lmao. I don’t know how I’d live that down or how OP lived this one down 😂. The intention was good buuuuut it was executed poorly
Fourth Story: Either OP's husband was completely clueless it was a joke or he wanted to show off. Either way, OP got new earrings lol
Fifth Story: Shrooms and misinformation clearly don’t mix well lmao. OP should’ve normally shoot his shot, not get naked
Sixth Story: "I see ur weiner" had me 😂😂😂. OP tried to propose but forgetfulness screw that up
Seventh Story: I mean, OP did show off her skating skills it just wasn’t as good as she thought they were lol. I’m sure this will be a funny story for them in the future
Story 1: honestly if something like that would happen to me but my boss, colleagues and the client were amused and OK with it I would just lean into it and have fun.
OP from the first story should pretend that he doesn’t know what they’re talking about: he wasn’t in the office that day and he asked Batman to cover his shift.
I find it sad that only one person did not check email after hours. The idea that we are to be responsive 24/7 is so awful.
It is. But i kinda disagree with this
It doesn't feel like that to me. It feels more of "oh crap, something happened and it has to be postponed" aka. The client coming to visit
It just feels like it wasn't an expectation to me.
@@TerranosaurRex I sort of get what you are saying, but to email after hours to cancel a planned work activity the night before it’s to happen and be surprised that someone showed up ready for the activity anyway seems like an expectation that employees check email after hours. I’ve had employees for 15 years. If I plan events that have to be cancelled, I phone, text, and email if needed. But in something like this, if it would be inappropriate for clients to see people in costume the plan should have included instruction to bring a change of clothes in case it’s needed, because shit happens.
@Sunny D true. But instead of emailing them. What more could they have done? I'm not arguing that your wrong. Your 100% correct. I just feel as thats not what's happening in the story
For the proposal story, don't worry OP...it was definitely memorable.
That second story screams TIME TO SUUUUUE
Yep, into oblivion! And have that contractor's license permanently revoked.
Story 1 - He now has an excuse for everything in the future. "Why were the TPS reports submitted late?" "Because I'm BATMAN!" a little embarrassing, sure, but his cubicle is about to be frequently decorated when he comes back from vacations. I'm sure he's now referred to as Bruce or Batman by some of his co-workers too. If assigned a trainee, welcome Robin!
Your Batman voice just made my day 😂
Story 6: Hey, it is a proposal to remember at the very least!
I love it when the commentator starts to crack up laughing. Makes these clips so much fun!
I straight up yelled “RACHEL!” in my kitchen before watching this and burst out laughing when my unknown prediction came true 😂
Really had me on a rollercoaster of emotions starting with Batman working at an office, then somebody struggling with their life after they got screwed over and then some dude rescuing a dwarf from traffic.
I'm so glad the hiking story didn't go where I thought it was going 😂
To be fair to the naked guy, he was high on shrooms. Probably wasn't exactly thinking his "moves" through.
If any of them had been thinking straight in the first place, the shrooms wouldn't have come into play at all
@@marjoriejohnston4905 I mean, probably not the best idea to do them in the middle of the woods, but I'm not gonna knock someone for wanting an experience.
@@Galanthos there are better things to 'experience' than that. Travel, museums, good books, movies, video games, time with loved ones. Things that truly enhance life instead of wrecking it
@@marjoriejohnston4905 magic mushrooms actually have been shown to have therapeutic benefits but never in the woods guys that’s how people die.
@@marjoriejohnston4905 Psychedelics are going to do a lot less damage to your life than completely non-stigmatized substances like Alcohol, Caffeine, or Cigarettes, but go off I guess.
if i was the girl in the proposal story i probably would of been laughing after saying that then i would of most likely said yes to the proposal and i hope she did too
Story 7- as a figure skater, it feels so surreal to hear a story about someone falling THAT BAD when skating, because in my head it isn’t hard to skate. I remember this one time at the rink somebody fell and a hockey kid (😡) was recklessly skating and sliced the dudes finger. I don’t remember if it was a clean cut off or he got a deep gash, but don’t underestimate skates, the non-rental skates are SHARP!
Evil Contractor: *"Time is of the essence."* Never ever ever sign a contractor without that in the contract.
Story 1: I was honestly expecting the OP to find out his co worker had a mom named Martha to and then had a break down
I’m imagining the guy in the third story with Danny DeVito’s and I just can’t 😂
"bat red- I- I mean beet red" 😂😂😂
Today rslash fouled up by saying, "Appalaysha." This will cause someone to throw an apple atcha.
I’ve got a similar story to the ice skating story. I met my boyfriend through Tinder. He worked as an assistant coach to a junior hockey team (16-20 year olds) and invited me to the game. I had a great time and loved it. It was my first game. Then after it was over, he invited me to go skating with him at the rink. I was so excited and also nervous because I’d never been skating before. He helped me put on my skates and we started to walk to the rink. Well, my Cerebral Palsy was a bitch and I could barely walk. My left ankle buckled so much because my balance was shit. Didn’t even make it onto the ice before I had to take them off. I apologized profusely because I was so embarrassed and he just kissed my forehead and told me that it was fine. I then explained to him other challenges (I also have Hydrocephalus) and he was more than accepting. I’d been rejected before because of that and my scars, and I was terrified he’d do the same. To my surprise, he didn’t. He played hockey and said that to him, scars were a badge of honor.
We’ve been together for 3 years now and I love him so much.
These stories were so freaking good!! I do feel bad for the OP that got scammed by his contractor and I hope he gets the money back. But I had to laugh at quite a few other stories
That Batman story made my freaking day hahaha 😂 Its honestly so wholesome like, dont worry bro Batman is a beloved character ❤ and rslash the voice also made my day 😂
Story 2: I don’t care if I’m divorcing or separating from someone, if they were in this man’s situation, I will allow them to stay with me for a few months until his house is livable. Especially if we have split custody of any children.
Last Story: What skills? I will never understand someone who think to impress others with something that they've never done before.
not only is taking your clothes off the wrong move, but also listening to your friends when they say "she's totally into you" bc she asked you to buddy system with her, so she isnt alone in the woods??? what horrible advice XD
Facts, he shouldve asked BEFORE he got naked but too late now 🙃
I work in an office, and when I was newly hired we had a week of dress up themes one being "zoom day" in which we dress in professional top, and casual bottom. I found the most garish purple basketball shorts I could find, and a suit jacket. While walking in I realized noone around me looked the same...
I would throw my manager under the bus and say I lost a bet to them and that's why I'm dressed up as Batman
For the last story, I hope the OP watches then reads comments. When I was in my first year of college, I was asked out by a girl who lived in the dorm room next door to a friend of mine. We decided to go bowling in the next town over, the school was in a small town. On the small two-lane road between towns, I was following a full-size van and talking with my date when the jerk in the van decided that the best course of action to deal with a car waiting to turn left was to dive onto the shoulder and pass illegally, never touching his brakes. When I realized that there was now a car stopped in the lane, I was still travelling at 55-60 mph. I too, tried to follow the van onto the shoulder to avoid the car but ended up clipping his rear bumper. The 70s Dodge Tank I hit only broke its turn signal cover from the bumper, but it tore up my Ford Probe's front bumper and even popped the oil fill cap from the valve cover. No one was hurt and I was able to screw the cap back on and secure the hood down and drive us back to her dorm where she sweetly consoled me over how things went. We dated for three years, to the day, when we got married on our third anniversary of dating. We now have three beautiful children and have been married since 2000.
It's really easy to take someone's measure by how they behave in challenging circumstances.
OMFG!! That 2nd story was so heart wrenching!! That "friend" who recommended the contractor is no friend at all. And I really can't stand divorce laws that can keep a guy out of the house he's still paying and leave him homeless. Since feminism is so much stronger, not a single woman should be able to keep everything in a divorce. I am livid after listening to that story.
It's totally f**king absurd. He has a house. he should kick her ass out and take his house back.
Next week instead of Batman next week, come as Alfred and confuse everyone.
Hi Davny. I’m a fan from Malawi and I love your videos! I listen every single day and it’s the best part of my morning commute. Keep up the amazing work!!
Slashy, we need a Dabney dressed as Bats 2 mil subscriber special!
This has been the funniest rslash vid ever lmaooo
Last time I checked "contractor" means a contracted employee, so if he violates that contract he should forfeit the payment he was supposed to get, in addition to fines and penalties for violating it. The contractor should not only get nothing, but also have to pay that OP for all the damage he did.
He should have his contractor license permanently revoked.
A contractor is licensed by the state. A handyman is not a contractor, a block mason is. Many people make that mistake, and wind up paying for it. Know the difference and hire accordingly. You hire a handyman for anything that doesn't require a permit or inspection. You hire a contractor for everything else.
7:51 Trying on earrings?!? Either they were clip-ons, or that store was super gross. It’s not okay to try on earrings in a store, or return them after wearing them… You put them inside a hole in your body. 😖 Also, I know exactly how she feels. It’s really nice when people do over the top things for you, but it can also make you feel super guilty, even if that was never the intent.
Story 2: There used to be a TV show where Adam Carolla would sting and call out crappy contractors for leaving their clients with unfinished or poorly done projects and gave them the chance to fix it or have the clients take legal action against them. I don't think it lasted long and I only saw about three episodes.
Last story: I was a competitive figure skater for 10 years and would take dates to my home rink so that the owners (who were like my second parents) could approve lmfao. I'd also show off like a mofo and hold their hands while I did backwards spirals or dumb stuff like that. The last guy went facefirst into the boards. I never took another date skating after that 😅
This story is literally something that should be FROM The Office.
Office Bat.
"My name is Bruce Man I mean Bat Wayne I mean Bruce Wayne"
The Batman story was fucking hilarious. We need an update badly.
You did a fantastic job on the Batman story RSlash 😂
For the last story, I didn't go ice skating but rollerblading. I was young, dumb and stupid. The first time I went, I fractured my wrist. The second time, I thought "Maybe I can do it this time." Nope I fractured my ankle right across the joint. I didn't learn my lesson now, but I've learned to fall on my but then use my limbs
In the proposal story, you certainly made that memorable.
Story 2: Never, ever voluntarily move out of your home during a separation/divorce.
Last story: Not gonna lie. I'd be f-ing impressed by all the injuries from a single ice skating fall.
That Batman story is the best of the year so far after Dabney went as far as using the Batman voice 🤣🤣🤣 OMG and the Bat-red, I mean beetred 🤣🤣🤣
Story 4: I don't even have pierced ears. Earrings are beautiful and I even make some for a few people but I don't ever want my ears pierced and I've been gifted them by people who forget lol. I either alter them or give them to my mom lol
That's why you always take an extra set of normal clothes in a bag wherever you do this, or go to the office dressed normally and then change to the suit there.
Yo, rSlash, your Batman impression is 🔥🔥🔥
The first Batman story almost caused to spit beer on my keyboard! Its great that the managers & clients were cool about it though & laughed about it
That last story ... I wonder if OP ever posted an update on whether or not that relationship kept going on after that.
Story2: I'm sorry OP... We just went through a renovation too and our contractor did the same thing "next week, next week, next week"... He delayed our renovation by 3 months and there are plenty of things that are not yet done. And those that are, are very badly done. We ended up firing the contractor, a week later he told us that he had decided to abandon the work, our reply "sorry? your work was already done"... He is now claiming that we owe him 15K€. He only "finished the work" because we told him that every day he would go over after X date, he'll be paying our rent out of the final tally.
1:00 when you transitioned to batman voice, i lost it. Perfect!
0;47
I went to the gym once in a low-budget Batgirl costume, complete with cape, JUST for shits and giggles. Months later, I went to the counter there to ask one of the employees a question. The 2nd guy at the front desk didn't even hear my question - he was too busy doing a double-take and yelling, "HOLY SHIT - Are you BATGIRL!?!?" The first employee also then caught on and demanded to know as well. They were weirdly excited... Apparently, I'd become a fucking legend at that gym location and had become a regular topic of conversation and speculation amongst the employees because of my impromptu dress-up day lmao. I've always enjoyed doing random stuff like that, so it's still a pretty funny story to tell years later.
addition to the skating story - he was also maybe hoping to teach you to skate and hold you to keep you from falling
First story was super wholesome. I love it
In defense of the person getting naked, they were on shrooms.
I feel OP’s pain in the last story. My girlfriend’s a figure skater and I have the coordination of a baby giraffe in rollerblades. Needless to say, our skill levels in skating are vastly different from each other.
When the day comes, OP should go as Darth Vader and Force Choke (or manually choke) whoever postponed the costume day.
