Someone in the company DID royally Screw the Pooch when they revealed OP's name to the driver but I suspect that in addition to Suing the Driver on OP's behalf, they also came down on that loose-lipped employee as well and OP either never found out or didn't tell us. Good Companies (and this one seems to be a good one) will NOT tolerate such behaviour from their Employees because it gives the Company a Bad Name AND opens the Company up to Serious (and expensive) Lawsuits.

I've graduated from college (BS only, not masters / PhD) and never copied off anyone, from Elementary School onwards. I always find it confusing that people would be willing to take that kind of risk, especially in the latter years of college.
The worst case of cheating I've ever seen was in college. Almost the entire class had notes on their hands, shoes, hidden in their clothes, etc. I was disgusted, as were the couple of others who didn't cheat. The grade curve was completely fucked because of this, and our professor didn't care when we told him what had happened.
@@WesaTwoRivers That's really shitty. The fact that professors and the school let them get away with it sounds like a really big issue .. The professors I had took cheating really seriously and in my program I very rarely saw anyone cheating during actual exams. (Mind you, I don't consider answer sharing on homework etc. to be cheating of the same type, since usually it isn't enforced very well and often homework is a small portion of the grade - people who don't put the thinking in on the homework tend to burn themselves way harder come exam time.)
I never ever copied another's work. I am retired now, and I have worked with those that just skate through life imitating others. They end up in some obscure dead-end job, all alone, with nobody that they can call a friend. Some see the light, but, others never do, and blame EVERYONE else for their lot in life. I am sure that everyone has seen these kinds of people in their day to day life.

The second story, the car parking case… Something of that sort happened with me. A company sales executive who used his SUV extensively when in the city, also had to go on lengthy tours out of the city. And whenever he was on tour, the whole 10-12 days, he would park his SUV in any empty driveway of any home. Everyone in the neighbourhood was fed up with him. I knew I was not immune, and knew that my turn would come, and was prepared. So one day I found his SUV in my driveway, and the house of the Entitled Jerk locked up. Now I have to explain that where I live, the terraces are flat, and secondly, the Entitled Jerk lived in a two-storied house, which had stairs going to the terrace, ie his terrace had an open access. Thirdly, for some reason he did not have a driveway enough to park his SUV, and during his stay in the city he parked it in the road. And lastly, I was doing my degree in automobile engineering. Immediately on seeing the SUV parked in my driveway, I called my classmates, who arrived with gusto. 15 of us worked together, and dismantled the Entitled Jerk’s vehicle. The second and third days we transported all the dismantled parts to the EJ’s terrace. The fourth and fifth days we spent in assembling the SUV on his terrace. His vehicle was then given a thorough wash and polish to remove all fingerprints inside and on the outer surface of his SUV. These 5 days, our team was welcomed with smiles and full support of the whole neighbourhood. We never lacked for snacks and beers. One day a neighbour ever set up a BBQ for us. After that we all retired to our homes, waiting for the crap to hit the fan. When the EJ came back, his face was a sight when he saw where his SUV was parked. He nearly tore out his hair trying to figure out a solution to his predicament. He did a complete round of the neighbourhood trying to find out who had screwed him up, but evidently nobody had seen anything. Ultimately he had to get his mechanics garage to reverse the whole process… ie dismantle the SUV, bring it down, and reassemble it on the ground. The garage could only spare 4 mechanics at a time, and so the whole process took that much time longer. To say nothing of the hefty amount he had to pay the garage. The EJ never parked his vehicle again in anyone’s driveway. Where he kept it during his tours, I don’t know, nor was I concerned.
"Who's never had to copy off of someone at school?" I never did. School was interesting and mostly easy. It didn't take brilliance. All one really had to do was show up to class, and do the assignments. Even bad grades on tests wouldn't be fatal as far as passing the course even if the GPA might suffer a bit .There were always extra credit things one could do to bring the grade back up. Being that lazy is the path to failure.
In highschool we took a teacher's V.W bug with 8 guys, picked it up and turned it sideways in the parking spot. A car on each side 6 inches away. It looked so awesome sitting between them. In order to leave he had to get one car moved. He said that was a good one.
RE: the driver who got fired then sought revenge. Decades ago, long before dashcams, I called the 1-800 number to report a driver. I told them their driver ran straight through a four-way stop. She thanked me. “No, wait. There’s more. At the next intersection he went straight through from a mandatory right turn lane, and at the next, he was in the right-hand lane making a left turn, which would have been legal because the left lane is a mandatory left turn lane, but he changed lanes in the intersection, leaving it in the left lane.” She thanked me, asked if there was anything else. I said no, but there’s a very special risk out there, AND HE’S DRIVING YOUR TRUCK!
They didn't get away with letting OP's name out. OP went to the police, the police went to the company, the company went to OP with hush money and offered to pay for legal expenses to make sure the disgruntled employee couldn't go after the OP. The alternative was that OP could bring both civil and legal charges against them AND take it to the press and make the company look bad in the court of public opinion.
If I was Parking Garage OP, after I finished moving the car to it's new out of the way spot, I'd also let all the air out of the tires (WITHOUT Damaging anything, I don't want to be Sued)...the tip of a pen works well for that...
Story #1. Yeah the company screwed up big time that the driver was able to get OP's name. That's why they were so damn quick to get back to OP and offered to take care of and pay for everything in return for the DNR!!! OP in turn could have sued the hell out of that company as their laxness, sloppiness or disclosure of OP's name then put OP in danger.
It is very high possibility that "Jane" was kicked out of the program and possibly the school for academic dishonesty, which is also why her father had to resign as well.
Haha! The copycat story is simar to what happened to me. During a VoTech class in Data Processing (computer programming), there was a high school kid taking the course along with us adults. Thos kid copied other's programs. I figured he took our printouts from the trash. So I planted one that I knew wouldn't work (logic flaw), and I included a module I named "Boyle Bug", using the kid's last name. The instructor knew our different coding styles, and mine was very distinctive. I tended to name my programs after Monty Python characters. So, Boyle submits this program as his. The instructor, who was also department head, immediately saw what he recognised as my program, called the kid out on it, and failed him, kicking him out of the course. Justice and karma! 😎
Why they keep parking in "illegal space"? Because they simply didn't bother... It also often happens here, since in our country, parking space and parking are not really regulated, and there is no towing company and compound (or at least, there is no one whose job is towing illegally parked cars). They would also probably think "well, what can you do about it?"...
Story 1: If I were OP, I would’ve not agreed to anything. I would’ve pulled out all the stops. You don’t put anyone’s name in anything like that. I would’ve pressed charges for the threats, got the restraining order, and sued the hell out of the company. Story 2: I would’ve notified Law Enforcement and had it removed. I would’ve done the same thing when nobody responded. Least it worked. Story 3: Jane got what was coming. That Chairman is a moron and it was his own undoing. Glad they got a dose of mega-karma.
The first story: the reason the company got away with leaking OP's name is by settling out of court by making the agreement about the company being willing to sue the ex employee on behalf of OP.
A few years ago I went of ill and a girl had to cover for me. It was customer front and the girl was a waste of time. Anyway I got a call on my cell phone from a member of the public screaming at me because the girl was incompetent. My first question was who gave him my number. He replied she did. WTF!!! At the time I was in the CCU at the hospital with severe pneumonia where I lay for 17 days. When I got out a put a complaint in and was told "if you don't like it resign"
The first story, thats why they had him sign those documents so they would take care of the problem while after he couldn't go after the company for releasing his information to the disgruntled employee.
3:07 yeah I'ma say the company is also at fault, as you should never give out name when you're in a disciplinary, it's a huge conflict of interest and confidential, and the person whose being disciplined may do the unthinkable.
3:00 How could OP let the company off the hook for free? That breach of confidence was probably worth at least $5K. If you don't think so, how much could the guy have sued the company for if their former employee had managed to hunt OP down and hurt him?
did you somehow miss the part where the company took over handling the lawsuit against the ex-employee for him in exchange for not sueing the company? assuming this happened in the US, I hear lawsuits are not cheap there - especially if the thing was really handled by an army of 10 lawyers. and as far as I know, in many states you might not be able to get your legal costs covered by the other party in court after you won the case, so your own legal fees would then be for you to pay even if you win the case.
@@clefsan Apparently I did miss the part, not about the company paying for the attorney, but about a lawsuit against the employee. And what I'm saying is that the company was responsible for letting his name out to the ex-employee, and should pay damages for that transgression.
@@xenaguy01 I agree with you absolutely. but I'd also say them handling a potentially costly lawsuit for him could be seen as the equivalent of them paying damages. someone at the company made a huge mistake, but they immediately admitted to it and did their best to compensate the "victim" - even if it was in a way that helped both sides. could he have gained more from sueing the company? maybe. but this way he also avoided the stress of personally having to get involved in a legal battle. to me that is also worth something :-)
Story 1: "So you keep it a secret that we did in fact let your info slip out and we take him down, do you agree?" Me: "DEW IT!" In as Papa Palpatine voice i am able to.
Tbh I'd have called the tow company first time. When the tow company refused to come out, I'd have called the management company and told them your contracted tow company refuses to come out, so I'm refusing to pay until you fix this.
As a woman, I can say I don't actually care much about what a purse looks like. I care far more about the pockets in it, how they close, and how it's worn. I can't carry an over the shoulder type purse because of a genetic issue with my shoulder joints. My Kindle and switch must fit inside. And zipper pockets within a zipper exterior to make getting to my money harder. I wish women's jeans had pockets. It'd make my life easier.
If somebody keeps blocking you in you can go under the hood of the car on the front end or in the Middle where ever the transmission is located pop off the plastic gear that's on the ball and socket joint click the transmission two clicks to the back of the car and it will be in reverse push the car out of the way and then leave it there
I never cheated all the way up to a doctoral program. I also worked my butt off to do well. There are more honest people than cheating losers in this world.
Fluff, your right they should not have told the driver (1st story) who and how and why. That's why they wanted him to sign a NDA to go after him so they he wouldn't drag thier name down as well when he would inevitably re-tell the story
So the guys name getting out was not surprising. There ate literally hundreds of ways (mostly accidentally or by a honest slightly careless and unintentional mistake) . However, I was not surprised by the company's response. No matter how accidental the slip could have been they are no less liable if anything happened as a result of his name being reviled.
I never copied off anyone in school, but mainly because all my classmates were dumber than I was. We took some test in 8th grade that reflected on the school and the principal (illegally) told us if we passed the test we would pass for the year. I let two classmates cheat off me and they passed 8th grade despite one have like 62 absences for the year, which is 1/3rd of the year.
Titled article: in college, I had apartment parking, I came home and found a SUV with trailer parked in my spot. I had to park in front of dumpster for night. When I woke up next day for work, SUV was still there, I called mgmnt and had it towed, and moved my car into my spot. Here's the interesting thing, after I moved my car I went back into apt bldg and guy came out, saw vehicle was gone, said Oh Shit, (he didn't know me) and had to call tow company. He had come out of apt where resident had said not 2 weeks earlier, that "No one had better park in my space or I'll have them towed."
The company that let the name out was in the wrong & knew it, that's why they chose to pay for his legal assistance & sue on his behalf b/c they knew they would be in major trouble if OP went after them...
As for the last comment: 'Who hasn't copied off someone else at school?' Well, I haven't. As a matter of fact, I left my Church Youth Group because of two things: 1) When the others in the Church Youth Group discovered that I never cheated in school, they tried to teach me how to cheat. Blew my mind, wrecked my idea of Christianity, and made me wonder if any of them had ever read the Ten Commandments, and 2) The same Church Youth Group, which had quite a few preachers' kids because the church was affiliated with a certain 'Christian' denomination, wanted to raise money by having an ice cream social, so I participated, and then I asked which charity was the money generated meant for. I was then informed that it was intended for themselves, to have an even larger party. Same reaction as before. I was done with formal churches, preachers, preachers' kids.
Definitely pro revenge by the professor on the chairman, they knew exactly what they were doing when they offered to help grace and set it all up like that
#1 Because OP's name should have been kept confidental - but was not - they offered to pay the lawyer army to make a restraining order instead. #2 The spot was propably the closest one to his exit. And he propably knew he could not be towed. He was a a-hole that thought he could get away with it. Turns out, there are worse fates then being towed. #3 The "plan" was propably that her good grades would get here a high job, allowing to steal work from underlings. We had those people plenty of times in Revenge and MC stories. A very common trick among artists, is to put some sort of telltale into their work. A signature. Not always a literal or obvious one. Something like "if you put it on it's head, one piece of ornament turned out to be a name" or something like that.
Something similar to the last one happened to me. I was a computer science major. I had a friend that I would help and at some point I noticed my grade was lower than his. Turns out he was handing in my programs as his own. So I started making 2 copies of the programs one that wouldn't even run and is the one I would use to explain to help him. And the one I was handing over. He failed the class.
No one would ever be able to copy my old english class project. Why? Cuz it was a large, detailed, painted drawing of the gold dragon from the movie Beowulf. We read the book as a class then watched the movie and were assigned to do some sort of project, i dont remember its been years. But i drew and painted this beautiful gold dragon that was from the movie. Just try and copy my school work with that drawing XD
To answer your question of "Who's never copied off of someone at school", that would be me. I liked school and was fairly good at it. Got a 3.85 in college and in high school got an 85.6% for the 4 years i was there Would have been higher but I just don't understand chemistry and got a D. Worked by butt off for that D. Never cheated. I would have rather flunked (any class) than cheated. You don't learn anything from cheating and I love learning new things.
''who has never copied off of someone'' Im my highschool one of my classmates who was a nerd by all accounts was never bullied due to 2 reasons. 1 all hes grades were the best as hes parents were strickt as fuck. 2 For 10 bucks hed let you copy hes homework. due to the latter the bullys never bothered him as they did not want to get on hes bad side and then be refused the sweet deal to get easy good grades.
I was going down the road the other day it's a 55 and this lady got into the middle turning lane trying to fly past me just so she could turn into the subdivision a mile up the road I didn't let her pass I made her go at 80 and she just kept driving in that Middle Lane it's like the cops are never around when they need to be
The last story, I dont see the point in wasting money on school if a person doesn't even bother going to class or doesn't work hard in the class, your just wasting your time and taking up a spot in the class. Why not go do something your truly interested in.
People use their cars like weapons. My old neighbours were elderly. We occupied the only two flats of the ground floor of a big old house, the other flats hadn't yet been finished. I think they would have resented anyone who moved in next to them. They started the thing of each evening around 6pm their son would turn up, my car was the only car in the car park and he would park across the back of my car so I couldn't get out at all without knocking on their front door and asking him to move his car. It got so annoying as I drove to the beach each evening to take my dog out. Gradually I noticed the old lady deteriorating mentally and physically. One day I saw her walking down the road in the distance. She was walking towards me with the sun behind her. The elaborate hair do she had made her head look 3x the size of a normal head and without my glasses on (I was walking not driving) she looked like a monster coming down the road towards me ! Anyway she went completely around the bend, screaming at all kinds of imaginary things. She jammed the drains up with her old lady wee pads and they tried to blame it all on me being a youngish woman at the time, but I told the freeholder who was in charge of the maintenance it couldn't be me because I'd had an hysterectomy so no sanitary products in my bathroom. Why she couldn't dispose of her essentials in a nappy sack in the bin I don't know. But that's what they were like. They said my 2 month old puppy kept them awake with her snoring. Obviously they had never had a dog because puppies that age and breed just don't snore, if anyone was snoring it was those 2 looney lumps. I dug my heels in as I knew they were hoping to somehow get me to sell up and leave but in the end they left. I was concerned about who else would end up in that flat as it didn't take long to realise the wall separating the 2 flat's was a bedroom wall and was as thin as anything so I couldn't have even the quietest conversation in there if they had gone to bed early or they started shouting, yelling and banging the wall. Somebody did buy that flat but they never moved in so it's been nice and peaceful for a long time now. Some people are just too territorial to live in any kind of flat. I'm going to add to that too mad, bad and sad. I feel sorry for who ever they moved in next door to after they left.
I had a neighbor keep on parking in my spot for over 6 months. I left many notes and called the office many times. I even tried to call the tow company that does towing for our apt with no luck because they would have to prove it was my spot and need the office for that and it was always there after they closed. Eventually, he was there when they were open and the office was sick of my calls. It turned out that guy didn't even have a spot in my lot but did live in the same apts. He had done that to several other people and would move it before the office could tow him. They knew it was the same guy bc we all had pics of the car and the plate. Even after he was towed he didn't stop. He kept on doing it till he moved out.
I am pretty sure I haven’t copied someone else work in school tho I don’t know maybe I just can’t remember. Plus it maybe is because I haven’t finished all of school yet

His vehicle was then given a thorough wash and polish to remove all fingerprints inside and on the outer surface of his SUV.
These 5 days, our team was welcomed with smiles and full support of the whole neighbourhood. We never lacked for snacks and beers. One day a neighbour ever set up a BBQ for us.
After that we all retired to our homes, waiting for the crap to hit the fan. When the EJ came back, his face was a sight when he saw where his SUV was parked. He nearly tore out his hair trying to figure out a solution to his predicament. He did a complete round of the neighbourhood trying to find out who had screwed him up, but evidently nobody had seen anything. Ultimately he had to get his mechanics garage to reverse the whole process… ie dismantle the SUV, bring it down, and reassemble it on the ground. The garage could only spare 4 mechanics at a time, and so the whole process took that much time longer. To say nothing of the hefty amount he had to pay the garage. The EJ never parked his vehicle again in anyone’s driveway. Where he kept it during his tours, I don’t know, nor was I concerned.
"Who's never had to copy off of someone at school?"
I never did. School was interesting and mostly easy. It didn't take brilliance. All one really had to do was show up to class, and do the assignments. Even bad grades on tests wouldn't be fatal as far as passing the course even if the GPA might suffer a bit .There were always extra credit things one could do to bring the grade back up. Being that lazy is the path to failure.
In highschool we took a teacher's V.W bug with 8 guys, picked it up and turned it sideways in the parking spot. A car on each side 6 inches away. It looked so awesome sitting between them. In order to leave he had to get one car moved. He said that was a good one.
Ah, a wonderful video to listen to after 3 stressful exams. At least I get 2 weeks to listen to these all day long
RE: the driver who got fired then sought revenge. Decades ago, long before dashcams, I called the 1-800 number to report a driver. I told them their driver ran straight through a four-way stop. She thanked me. “No, wait. There’s more. At the next intersection he went straight through from a mandatory right turn lane, and at the next, he was in the right-hand lane making a left turn, which would have been legal because the left lane is a mandatory left turn lane, but he changed lanes in the intersection, leaving it in the left lane.” She thanked me, asked if there was anything else. I said no, but there’s a very special risk out there, AND HE’S DRIVING YOUR TRUCK!
They didn't get away with letting OP's name out. OP went to the police, the police went to the company, the company went to OP with hush money and offered to pay for legal expenses to make sure the disgruntled employee couldn't go after the OP. The alternative was that OP could bring both civil and legal charges against them AND take it to the press and make the company look bad in the court of public opinion.
If I was Parking Garage OP, after I finished moving the car to it's new out of the way spot, I'd also let all the air out of the tires (WITHOUT Damaging anything, I don't want to be Sued)...the tip of a pen works well for that...
Story #1. Yeah the company screwed up big time that the driver was able to get OP's name. That's why they were so damn quick to get back to OP and offered to take care of and pay for everything in return for the DNR!!! OP in turn could have sued the hell out of that company as their laxness, sloppiness or disclosure of OP's name then put OP in danger.
Story #1: THAT'S why they wanted OP to sign a release and agree NOT to publicly berate them. They know they F'ked up by releasing OPs name.
The only thing not made clear in the delivery driver story is to say if the leaker was discovered and disciplined. People want to know.
11:45 The purpose is for appearance's sake, so that the daughter and/or the chairman don't get investigated.
It is very high possibility that "Jane" was kicked out of the program and possibly the school for academic dishonesty, which is also why her father had to resign as well.
Haha! The copycat story is simar to what happened to me. During a VoTech class in Data Processing (computer programming), there was a high school kid taking the course along with us adults. Thos kid copied other's programs. I figured he took our printouts from the trash. So I planted one that I knew wouldn't work (logic flaw), and I included a module I named "Boyle Bug", using the kid's last name. The instructor knew our different coding styles, and mine was very distinctive. I tended to name my programs after Monty Python characters. So, Boyle submits this program as his. The instructor, who was also department head, immediately saw what he recognised as my program, called the kid out on it, and failed him, kicking him out of the course. Justice and karma! 😎
Why they keep parking in "illegal space"? Because they simply didn't bother... It also often happens here, since in our country, parking space and parking are not really regulated, and there is no towing company and compound (or at least, there is no one whose job is towing illegally parked cars).
They would also probably think "well, what can you do about it?"...
New upload on my last day of school?! Thank you Dark Fluff! I can already tell it’s going to be great
Story 1: If I were OP, I would’ve not agreed to anything. I would’ve pulled out all the stops. You don’t put anyone’s name in anything like that. I would’ve pressed charges for the threats, got the restraining order, and sued the hell out of the company.
Story 2: I would’ve notified Law Enforcement and had it removed. I would’ve done the same thing when nobody responded. Least it worked.
Story 3: Jane got what was coming. That Chairman is a moron and it was his own undoing. Glad they got a dose of mega-karma.
Omg. If his grown daughter is not smart enough to pass a class on her own then she does not deserve to be there.
The parking one was pure awesome. I bet it took the jackwagon a while to fetch the car out of there.
What's the point of having a sponsor pay off a teacher to give you good grades? Are you kidding? You could be President some day.
The first story: the reason the company got away with leaking OP's name is by settling out of court by making the agreement about the company being willing to sue the ex employee on behalf of OP.
That crazy guy who had the truck and got sued most of either had a friend in HR or he threaten them too.
The guy with the car has to be friends with someone in the building. Maybe even the manager
6:42 to qoat any sociopath who doesn't give 2 shits what anyone think "why not!?"
A few years ago I went of ill and a girl had to cover for me. It was customer front and the girl was a waste of time.
Anyway I got a call on my cell phone from a member of the public screaming at me because the girl was incompetent. My first question was who gave him my number. He replied she did. WTF!!!
At the time I was in the CCU at the hospital with severe pneumonia where I lay for 17 days.
When I got out a put a complaint in and was told "if you don't like it resign"
The first story, thats why they had him sign those documents so they would take care of the problem while after he couldn't go after the company for releasing his information to the disgruntled employee.
3:07 yeah I'ma say the company is also at fault, as you should never give out name when you're in a disciplinary, it's a huge conflict of interest and confidential, and the person whose being disciplined may do the unthinkable.
That fashion design school story sounds like an episode of My Little Pony lol
3:00 How could OP let the company off the hook for free? That breach of confidence was probably worth at least $5K. If you don't think so, how much could the guy have sued the company for if their former employee had managed to hunt OP down and hurt him?
did you somehow miss the part where the company took over handling the lawsuit against the ex-employee for him in exchange for not sueing the company? assuming this happened in the US, I hear lawsuits are not cheap there - especially if the thing was really handled by an army of 10 lawyers. and as far as I know, in many states you might not be able to get your legal costs covered by the other party in court after you won the case, so your own legal fees would then be for you to pay even if you win the case.
@@clefsan
Apparently I did miss the part, not about the company paying for the attorney, but about a lawsuit against the employee.
And what I'm saying is that the company was responsible for letting his name out to the ex-employee, and should pay damages for that transgression.
@@xenaguy01 I agree with you absolutely. but I'd also say them handling a potentially costly lawsuit for him could be seen as the equivalent of them paying damages. someone at the company made a huge mistake, but they immediately admitted to it and did their best to compensate the "victim" - even if it was in a way that helped both sides. could he have gained more from sueing the company? maybe. but this way he also avoided the stress of personally having to get involved in a legal battle. to me that is also worth something :-)
Story 1: "So you keep it a secret that we did in fact let your info slip out and we take him down, do you agree?" Me: "DEW IT!" In as Papa Palpatine voice i am able to.
im in class, but whi cares? darkfluff comes first
My thing is, I try to give people space but when you block me in then I'm smashing your bumpers until I can get out.
Tbh I'd have called the tow company first time. When the tow company refused to come out, I'd have called the management company and told them your contracted tow company refuses to come out, so I'm refusing to pay until you fix this.
As a guy to me a purse looks like a purse I've never really noticed a great deal of differences
As a woman, I can say I don't actually care much about what a purse looks like. I care far more about the pockets in it, how they close, and how it's worn. I can't carry an over the shoulder type purse because of a genetic issue with my shoulder joints. My Kindle and switch must fit inside. And zipper pockets within a zipper exterior to make getting to my money harder. I wish women's jeans had pockets. It'd make my life easier.
If somebody keeps blocking you in you can go under the hood of the car on the front end or in the Middle where ever the transmission is located pop off the plastic gear that's on the ball and socket joint click the transmission two clicks to the back of the car and it will be in reverse push the car out of the way and then leave it there
I never cheated all the way up to a doctoral program. I also worked my butt off to do well. There are more honest people than cheating losers in this world.
Car parking story: Then he got an idea. An awful idea. OP had a wonderful, awful idea.
10 lawyers, damn....... Get rekt.
I love these! I enjoy listening to your content! So many days of just sweet justice
About the first story, I'm thinking that the guys somehow getting the name of the person is why they did so much on the complaintant's behalf.
Fluff, your right they should not have told the driver (1st story) who and how and why. That's why they wanted him to sign a NDA to go after him so they he wouldn't drag thier name down as well when he would inevitably re-tell the story
Hello Dark
Love you to fluff 😅
So the guys name getting out was not surprising. There ate literally hundreds of ways (mostly accidentally or by a honest slightly careless and unintentional mistake) . However, I was not surprised by the company's response. No matter how accidental the slip could have been they are no less liable if anything happened as a result of his name being reviled.
I never copied off anyone in school, but mainly because all my classmates were dumber than I was. We took some test in 8th grade that reflected on the school and the principal (illegally) told us if we passed the test we would pass for the year. I let two classmates cheat off me and they passed 8th grade despite one have like 62 absences for the year, which is 1/3rd of the year.
Titled article: in college, I had apartment parking, I came home and found a SUV with trailer parked in my spot. I had to park in front of dumpster for night. When I woke up next day for work, SUV was still there, I called mgmnt and had it towed, and moved my car into my spot. Here's the interesting thing, after I moved my car I went back into apt bldg and guy came out, saw vehicle was gone, said Oh Shit, (he didn't know me) and had to call tow company. He had come out of apt where resident had said not 2 weeks earlier, that "No one had better park in my space or I'll have them towed."
Should have sued the company for LIFE ENDANGERMENT
Yo Fluff, I just wanted you to know that I love you too.
I've heard this same fashion design story before....but time, it was about architectural designs
The company that let the name out was in the wrong & knew it, that's why they chose to pay for his legal assistance & sue on his behalf b/c they knew they would be in major trouble if OP went after them...
I never copied off people in school cause I never had people close to me to do so plus I was actually a good students
As for the last comment: 'Who hasn't copied off someone else at school?' Well, I haven't. As a matter of fact, I left my Church Youth Group because of two things: 1) When the others in the Church Youth Group discovered that I never cheated in school, they tried to teach me how to cheat. Blew my mind, wrecked my idea of Christianity, and made me wonder if any of them had ever read the Ten Commandments, and 2) The same Church Youth Group, which had quite a few preachers' kids because the church was affiliated with a certain 'Christian' denomination, wanted to raise money by having an ice cream social, so I participated, and then I asked which charity was the money generated meant for. I was then informed that it was intended for themselves, to have an even larger party. Same reaction as before. I was done with formal churches, preachers, preachers' kids.
I can totally say I've never copied someone else's work at school or any where else.
professor is *legendary*
Definitely pro revenge by the professor on the chairman, they knew exactly what they were doing when they offered to help grace and set it all up like that
Hey Mr. Fluff
The parking garage and design school stories I have heard before but I don't know which channel. Still, good video to listen to while driving.
Hope we can see some Malicious Compliance at some point. XP
agree
#1 Because OP's name should have been kept confidental - but was not - they offered to pay the lawyer army to make a restraining order instead.
#2 The spot was propably the closest one to his exit. And he propably knew he could not be towed. He was a a-hole that thought he could get away with it.
Turns out, there are worse fates then being towed.
#3 The "plan" was propably that her good grades would get here a high job, allowing to steal work from underlings. We had those people plenty of times in Revenge and MC stories.
A very common trick among artists, is to put some sort of telltale into their work. A signature. Not always a literal or obvious one. Something like "if you put it on it's head, one piece of ornament turned out to be a name" or something like that.
lol I've never copied anyone at school. I'm home schooled and neither of my brothers take the same year as me.
Something similar to the last one happened to me. I was a computer science major. I had a friend that I would help and at some point I noticed my grade was lower than his. Turns out he was handing in my programs as his own. So I started making 2 copies of the programs one that wouldn't even run and is the one I would use to explain to help him. And the one I was handing over. He failed the class.
No one would ever be able to copy my old english class project. Why?
Cuz it was a large, detailed, painted drawing of the gold dragon from the movie Beowulf. We read the book as a class then watched the movie and were assigned to do some sort of project, i dont remember its been years. But i drew and painted this beautiful gold dragon that was from the movie.
Just try and copy my school work with that drawing XD
To answer your question of "Who's never copied off of someone at school", that would be me. I liked school and was fairly good at it. Got a 3.85 in college and in high school got an 85.6% for the 4 years i was there Would have been higher but I just don't understand chemistry and got a D. Worked by butt off for that D. Never cheated. I would have rather flunked (any class) than cheated. You don't learn anything from cheating and I love learning new things.
''who has never copied off of someone'' Im my highschool one of my classmates who was a nerd by all accounts was never bullied due to 2 reasons. 1 all hes grades were the best as hes parents were strickt as fuck. 2 For 10 bucks hed let you copy hes homework. due to the latter the bullys never bothered him as they did not want to get on hes bad side and then be refused the sweet deal to get easy good grades.
Hi all
Car parking story, it's not that the person can't read or entitlement. It's they just don't care.
Part of the agreement would have been that he not try to sue the company for leaking his name.
Fluff... me I've never copied off of anyone else at school.
(Titanic theme plays)
You know the fraise "there's one in every family" or in this case every school
Hol' up a minute. Girlfriend Reviews starts playing in the brain.
I was going down the road the other day it's a 55 and this lady got into the middle turning lane trying to fly past me just so she could turn into the subdivision a mile up the road I didn't let her pass I made her go at 80 and she just kept driving in that Middle Lane it's like the cops are never around when they need to be
The last story, I dont see the point in wasting money on school if a person doesn't even bother going to class or doesn't work hard in the class, your just wasting your time and taking up a spot in the class. Why not go do something your truly interested in.
i keep forgetting that you aren’t a massive and huge youtuber and i expect like a thousand comments on the videos
keep up the good work dude
Hurt me some more. 😂👊👊👊👊

for real i haven't ever copied any one in school.
Hey let's go upload! This'll help me get me through my last block.
🌟🌟🌟🌟
Bruh who hasn't looked off someone on test I've never done it surprisingly enough I do everything wrong in life so I do the test wrong because fuck it
People use their cars like weapons.
My old neighbours were elderly.
We occupied the only two flats of the ground floor of a big old house, the other flats hadn't yet been finished.
I think they would have resented anyone who moved in next to them.
They started the thing of each evening around 6pm their son would turn up, my car was the only car in the car park and he would park across the back of my car so I couldn't get out at all without knocking on their front door and asking him to move his car. It got so annoying as I drove to the beach each evening to take my dog out.
Gradually I noticed the old lady deteriorating mentally and physically. One day I saw her walking down the road in the distance. She was walking towards me with the sun behind her. The elaborate hair do she had made her head look 3x the size of a normal head and without my glasses on (I was walking not driving) she looked like a monster coming down the road towards me !
Anyway she went completely around the bend, screaming at all kinds of imaginary things.
She jammed the drains up with her old lady wee pads and they tried to blame it all on me being a youngish woman at the time, but I told the freeholder who was in charge of the maintenance it couldn't be me because I'd had an hysterectomy so no sanitary products in my bathroom.
Why she couldn't dispose of her essentials in a nappy sack in the bin I don't know.
But that's what they were like.
They said my 2 month old puppy kept them awake with her snoring. Obviously they had never had a dog because puppies that age and breed just don't snore, if anyone was snoring it was those 2 looney lumps.
I dug my heels in as I knew they were hoping to somehow get me to sell up and leave but in the end they left.
I was concerned about who else would end up in that flat as it didn't take long to realise the wall separating the 2 flat's was a bedroom wall and was as thin as anything so I couldn't have even the quietest conversation in there if they had gone to bed early or they started shouting, yelling and banging the wall.
Somebody did buy that flat but they never moved in so it's been nice and peaceful for a long time now.
Some people are just too territorial to live in any kind of flat. I'm going to add to that too mad, bad and sad.
I feel sorry for who ever they moved in next door to after they left.
*"ThAt TeXt WaS sToLeN fRoM fOrTnItE"*
no
I had a neighbor keep on parking in my spot for over 6 months. I left many notes and called the office many times. I even tried to call the tow company that does towing for our apt with no luck because they would have to prove it was my spot and need the office for that and it was always there after they closed. Eventually, he was there when they were open and the office was sick of my calls. It turned out that guy didn't even have a spot in my lot but did live in the same apts. He had done that to several other people and would move it before the office could tow him. They knew it was the same guy bc we all had pics of the car and the plate. Even after he was towed he didn't stop. He kept on doing it till he moved out.
probably no one let the info out probably
in year 10 I copied my mate's assignment because I didn't start mine (whoops), I got an A for it, while he got a C. different teachers though.
I am pretty sure I haven’t copied someone else work in school tho I don’t know maybe I just can’t remember. Plus it maybe is because I haven’t finished all of school yet
I've never copied off anyone in school? Was that just a thematic remark, or?
🖖😁
I think I’ve heard all these stories before?
While OP name in the first story shouldn't be revealed in the first place, it's hard to close all info leads.
I never copied. Is that actually a common thing? :/ I guess I'd be more frustrated if the US had better schools.
hi friend how are u
I have never copied off of anyone at school. I probably have had others copy off of me, though.
What's the point cheating if your daddy's making sure you'll pass?? Not quite sure I believe the story, but either way, its a good listen.
