Welcome to r slash oh no consequences, which is a new subreddit and pretty much exactly what you'd expect. People immediately suffering for their stupid decisions. Our next reddit post is from Gronk. On this next post, OP doesn't state what his ethnicity is, but for context, he's a minority
Starting point is 00:01:24 in England. Years ago, in the early for context, he's a minority in England. Years ago, in the early 90s, I was a field service engineer fixing jukeboxes, fruit machines, pool tables, etc. in pubs and clubs mostly around South London. Anyway, it was summer holiday and I go to a pub off the old Kent Road to fix a Play Choice 10 machine. It's basically an NES in an arcade cabinet that had about 10 games to choose from and was based on time rather than credits. So you could play all 10 games as long as you had enough time left. The pub had a kids area with a pinball machine, football table, and the previously
Starting point is 00:01:56 mentioned arcade machine. It was a simple job, really. A couple of buttons weren't working, and I quickly replaced everything while being watched intently by a group of bored kids. As I'm doing this, the landlord offers me a Coke, and since it's bloody hot, I accept it. After sorting out the buttons, I power it up and press the free credits button, and I ask the kids to test it out for me, saying they have to try out all the games, and they're super excited! I get loads of, thanks mister, etc.
Starting point is 00:02:25 Now I could have just carried out a self-test in about one minute, but these kids looked forward as hell. So after drinking my Coke, I set up the machine for 3 hours of free gameplay and then locked it up for the kids. As I was giving my service docket to the landlord at the bar, one of the kids, a little girl, ran up to her dad sitting at the bar and excitedly said that the nice man had given her and her friends loads of free credits on the arcade machine. This guy has loads of his buddies at the bar and picks up his daughter saying how she's the
Starting point is 00:02:57 apple of his eye and then looks straight at me and says, as long as you don't bring home one of them when you get older. Now his mates are looking at me all embarrassed and I look at this guy and I think to myself, am I going to let that slide? F no. I put my toolbox down, walk up to the machine, reach behind, find the power switch, flick it off, wait 10 seconds and then switch it back on again. The machine powers up, with all the free credits gone. I walk back to the little girl, still sitting on her dad's lap, look at her and say,
Starting point is 00:03:31 you can thank your dad for that, and walk out. On the way out, I hear two distinct sounds. The sounds of laughter coming from his friends and the sounds of a load of kids crying. F racist parents turning their kids into racists. Our next reddit post is from Queen of Me. My night job is at a specialty pet food and treats store, and we also offer grooming and a self wash grooming station where you can come in and wash your pet. I had a couple come in with their human son who was about 9 years old to wash their dog. The couple went in with their dog and they left their son to wander around the store.
Starting point is 00:04:05 Since I'm by myself, I didn't notice that the son was unsupervised until they had already gone in and started washing their dog. I spent 15 minutes finishing my baking, taking care of customers, and following this kid around to clean up after him. He was grabbing random toys and playing with them, then setting them down wherever, bouncing all the tennis balls, grabbing leashes off the shelf and pretending they were lassoes. He was also bothering my customers, asking them random questions as they tried to shop. After I asked him THREE times to stop messing with things and other people, he went over to our baked treats table. I knocked on the self-wash door and asked the parents to please bring their son into
Starting point is 00:04:45 the wash with them or to let him sit in the car while they finish. And they told me that they were almost done and that their son was never a problem. I explained that he was disturbing other customers and playing with random items that I was having to clean up. And the woman looked me right in the eyes and said, Yeah, that's your job. I told her my job is to run the store, not to babysit customers' children, and she rolled her eyes at me and said they were almost done. I came back to the sales floor and the kid had crumbled three cakes and a whole bunch of treats,
Starting point is 00:05:19 as well as snapped a bunch of bully sticks and other dried treats. He smiles and bounces off, and I start to gather and ring up the items. The parents come out of the self wash, and I add the broken items to the transaction and tell them their total is $149. Both of their mouths drop open and the guy says, $150 bucks to wash my effing dog? I say, no sir, the self wash is $16. The rest of it is to cover what your son destroyed. The mom says that her son didn't destroy anything and I gesture to the pile of broken cakes and treats. I say, actually ma'am, he did.
Starting point is 00:06:01 He broke all this after I asked you to please supervise him." She started arguing, saying that I must have broken them all because I didn't like having her son in the store. Yeah, because I love baking a bunch of stuff just to destroy it. Uh, yeah, yup, you got me. I had a feeling this was going to be their reaction, so I already had the video from our cameras ready to go on my phone to show her. Isn't this YOUR son walking over to our table and smashing those cakes and treats?
Starting point is 00:06:31 Isn't this YOUR son going to the bully bar and snapping them in half? The mom didn't say anything for a second, and then told me that she didn't think they should have to pay for them. I told her that her child broke these things after I asked them to watch him or let him sit in the car, so it was their responsibility to cover our losses. She asked to speak to the manager and was very disappointed when I pointed to my name tag that has manager under my name. You are speaking to a manager ma'am. Anything else I can help you with today? If not, your total is $149.76. She glared at me, but she put her card in and paid and they left, looking like they
Starting point is 00:07:13 were screaming at their kid the whole way to the car. Our next Reddit post is from Deleted. My girlfriend edged a breakup to see what it's like. My ex and I have separated. It's weird to say because I'm still confused about everything, but it's as simple as the title says. A week ago we were at my place when something just changed in her demeanor. She walked over and simply states, I'm leaving.
Starting point is 00:07:38 I'm confused because a minute ago we were just happy watching shows and just screwing around. Upon further pressing she says that it just seems like the right thing or something. I get flustered and ask what's wrong, and she sits there silently staring at her phone and only speaking to give me updates about when a car will arrive. I just stop pressing and sit down and just wait because I can't even explain this. I'm not going to yell, scream, or cry. I felt the same burning hot feeling and difficulty breathing in my chest when my dog died.
Starting point is 00:08:12 Like this was it and I have no way of understanding why it's happening. All of a sudden my girlfriend puts her phone down and exclaims that she changed her mind. I asked what that was about, and she giggles almost playfully and says she just wanted to edge a breakup. She gives me her answer, but I just end things there. She immediately regrets it, asking me to reconsider. This thing has happened before early in our relationship, and she explained that she has an impulsive habit of these types of things. I've only seen this once and it was when she ghosted me just after we started dating. Maybe in her defense, she was on her period and was experiencing mood swings, but I sent
Starting point is 00:08:53 her home and I haven't spoken to her in a week until now to get my stuff. Am I going too far? She seems distraught and hurt and genuinely meant not to have wanted that. I want her back so badly, but I don't know if I can trust her yet. It's making me sick and I miss her so much." Then OP posted an update. She sent me a text to talk, asking if our time apart was enough to reflect on the relationship. She continued to explain that she deserves some type of closure and that if she doesn't
Starting point is 00:09:22 hear from me, we should go our separate ways. We had a short talk on the phone and I told her that my trust was completely broken. Anyways, she came over to pick up her stuff and the initial exchange was awkward. She just thrust a bag of my clothes towards me and grabbed her stuff and abruptly walked off. I called her and asked if she wanted to talk at all and she admitted that it was kinda rude. We were both sad and teary-eyed and I could tell that she was really hurting. She sat in the passenger seat for a minute and asked if there was any chance that we could be together again. At this point, we were both crying. She told me that she talked to her friend and her sibling and they both told her that she deserved to be dumped.
Starting point is 00:10:03 She's done the same type of thing with them. She'd point out all the time that we've spent together, six really good months, and asked if that meant nothing. But it did, it meant everything to me. I sat there for a moment crying and just said that it can't be fixed. I told her that if I take her back, I'd be enabling that behavior. That if we were ever to reconcile, this would have to happen. Otherwise the relationship would continue on a toxic slope, doomed to end horribly.
Starting point is 00:10:31 She awkwardly asked if I really thought that she would do it again. And then she admitted that she really doesn't have much ground to stand on with that comment. We told each other that we love each other one last time, and that was it. I drove home and didn't really sleep. Yeah OP, you made the right decision. Because on top of just messing with your trust, she also intentionally hurt your feelings in a really profound way and that's just mean. Why would you want to be with a mean person?
Starting point is 00:10:59 Our next reddit post is from Deleted. Am I the butthole for digging up my husband's past? I'm a 25 year old woman and I've been with my 23 year old husband for 5 years, married for 3. He's a very quiet, reclusive guy. I can count how many friends he has on one hand. And he doesn't talk much about his childhood. I know that he has a single father who's 43 and an older half brother who's 25.
Starting point is 00:11:22 This seems to be a sort of taboo to bring up, specifically his childhood, especially during the time before he moved in with his father. I've gone to dinner at his family's place a lot, and sometimes his brother would be telling a story. He'll get briefly brought up, and then everyone will go quiet. It's bothered me for some time now, if I'm honest. I've asked so many times what happened, only for my husband to tell me that he's not ready to talk about it or dodge the subject.
Starting point is 00:11:49 He's in therapy, so what's the holdup? Recently I'd noticed some scars on his neck. He wears a lot of turtlenecks, so I rarely see or pay attention to his neck. I asked about the scars and he dodged the questions. And it just made me want to know what happened more. It all came to a hit a few days ago when I decided to take things into my own hands while my husband was on a trip for the weekend. I asked all of his friends what they knew, if he had said anything strange about his
Starting point is 00:12:16 past. They said nothing. Learning this just made me want to find out more. I practically tore apart our entire house while he was gone looking for anything at all. But I found nothing. F-ing nothing. I ended up calling his father, who after a lot of poking and prodding about the situation,
Starting point is 00:12:34 spilled absolutely everything. My husband, the sweetest man alive, had been abused to the point of near death by his mother, neglected so badly that at 12 years old he was only 40 pounds, and he nearly got strangled to death by that bastard woman. That was why he got sent to his father, apparently. I felt sick. I actually couldn't believe what I'd heard. I just kind of hung up and I cleaned the house back up and I sat around feeling really gross.
Starting point is 00:13:04 My husband, who came back a day early when his father spilled that he had told me, was furious. For the first time in our entire relationship, he screamed at me. He screamed that I was awful for digging up his past when he wasn't ready. I just kinda stood there, stunned as he grabbed his cat and left. He's been staying with his brother since. He isn't answering my calls nor his father's. At this rate, I'm worried that I might be getting served divorce papers.
Starting point is 00:13:32 I was just curious. I didn't think it would be something that bad. Am I the butthole? This is a pretty disgusting invasion of privacy. You deserve to be dumped, OP. Our next reddit post is from Automatic Trick. I am working overseas right now and I managed to get tickets for Taylor Swift in Singapore. The concert is this coming Saturday.
Starting point is 00:13:52 My plan was to fly my girlfriend over for a little vacation. Singapore is a long ways from Connecticut so she was going to be staying for 10 days. I was clear and I told her that we would have two weekends together as well as the evenings, but I still had to work during the daytime. Last week she called me and said that she was not okay with us being long distance and that after the concert we were over. I asked for clarification. She said that she would come for 10 days and we could have fun, but that we were done. But I can have fun without paying for it." I transferred her the one Taylor Swift ticket and canceled everything else.
Starting point is 00:14:31 She called me to scream at me for canceling the flights in the hotel. I told her that I wasn't going to discuss this and hung up. I blocked her on everything. I'm hearing from people back home that she lost her mind. She's been bragging about getting to see Taylor Swift and the vacation. Now she's telling everyone that I just cancelled the plans just out of the blue. I guess that is sort of true. I didn't discuss it with her before I made my decision. I just did what I did. I unblocked her long enough to offer to buy the
Starting point is 00:15:02 ticket back if she wasn't going to use it. That conversation was not pleasant and involved a lot of profanity. The upshot was that she would rather let the ticket go to waste than let me have it. Her friends have been defending her or calling me a butthole. My position is that I would feel like a John flying her over for fun. Down in the comments, people are asking OP why he transferred her the ticket but didn't give anything else and OP said, the ticket was a gift. I know that it's stupid, but I promised her that ticket. So turns out OP actually has a moral compass and unfortunately, he was dating a gold digger and a stupid gold digger at that. Our next reddit post is from
Starting point is 00:15:42 Marcel Torak. points out that he's on the phone with a customer and he'll refill the coffee as soon as he's finished. This isn't good enough for Jerkface, who loudly complains, swearing the whole time. Eventually, because my husband is still on the phone, the jerkface stomps off. Later that same day, Jerkface stomps out of the restaurant attached to the hotel, grumbling and complaining, and my husband calls out that the coffee is ready. This guy starts yelling at my husband about how it's too late now and he comes up to the desk to vent his anger. He starts swearing at my husband so my husband tells him to pack his stuff as he has 15 minutes to leave or the cops are called. Our hotel has a no tolerance policy for direct verbal
Starting point is 00:16:41 abuse of staff. Jerkface doesn't start packing. Instead, he keeps swearing at my husband and threatening him. Just as the General Manager walks out of the office, who tells Jerkface to get out or he's calling the cops. The General Manager also points out, while ending Jerkface's week-long stay at the hotel, that he knows the man's boss by name and he'll be calling this boss to make sure that Jerkface never stays at our hotel again. The general manager does indeed call the guy's boss and is promised that Jerkface will not be coming there again. The general manager also sends the boss videos of Jerkface and his behavior and an hour later he gets a call that Jerkface is fired
Starting point is 00:17:23 because that's not how the company behaves. That was r slash oh no consequences, and if you like this content, be sure to follow my podcast because I put out new Reddit podcast episodes every single day.
