Welcome to R-slash Pro Revenge, where OP puts a douchebag over $100,000 in debt. Our next Reddit post is from Whip Solo. This past Sunday, I decided to take a track day at a regionally known drag strip during a no-prep event. I brought my 1996 Honda Civic Hatchback, which, without going full car nerd, has an engine swap and a lot of work done. It's quite fast for a Honda, but really just a toy. I also brought my Nissan Laurel, which is imported from Japan, and was never sold in the U.S. The car is primarily a drift car, but with 30 minutes of work, it can change over to a drag setup.

My buddy brought his 1996 Mitsubishi Eclipse GX. We were running all day, making small wagers with those of the track, and together we were up just over $20,000 on the day from wagers. Around 8 p.m., with the track closing at 9 p.m., I had the douchiest of julys. Chad's approached me and engaged me in the typical smack talk about how my cars are slow and how incredible his car is, yada, yada, yada. After being goaded numerous times, declining a 10K race, and really just trying to pack up for the day, this dickhead decided to insult my wife in a rather derogatory and misogynistic way. The comments were both disgusting and about how a woman doesn't belong on a racetrack. I thought for a second before responding, then I said to him,

Since women don't belong on the racetrack, why don't you race her in the laurel? 10K, bro, that's easy money. Let's go. No, no, no. If you're racing her, it's going to be for titles, as in the car title. Hell yeah, I'll take your car. He starts laughing and further insults my wife to his cronies. We shook hands, pulled out paperwork, and found a track official to hold both sets of paperwork before getting ready for the run. One single, quarter mile race for both cars.

The tree turned green and they blew off the line. The doucheback pulled slightly ahead out of the gate and you could just feel the misogynistic comments he was saying to himself as he flew down the track. About halfway down the track, my wife caught up to him and surpassed him. Finishing the race with enough room to parallel park an F-250 between them. My wife pulls back into our stall, smiling and laughing, excited over her win as it was only her third pass on the track for the day. I went to the staff member to collect paperwork without problem, and then went over to this douchebag stall to collect my new car. As we turned the corner into the stall, the douchebag yelled,

F no, I'm not giving my car to a woman. She got lucky. Two out of three, F this. All of the douchebag friends were laughing at him making the her you got beat by a girl jokes that were so popular in middle school. I noticed the keys were still in the car, so I quickly reached into the car and snatched them. After grabbing the keys, I was sucker-punched by the douchebag, and I did defend myself. I didn't engage in a full-on brawl, merely defended myself after giving it one good swing. Track official separated us, and the douchebag started screaming to staff that I was trying to steal his car, saying he was going to call the cops. You see, in my state, all bets are legal at the track, as it's no different than betting on a horse. Taxes are paid on the bet. In the event of a set,

In the event of a slip race, taxes are paid on the vehicle through the DMV. The douchebag's threat of police held no power. He continued to scream for another 15 minutes, not letting anyone else get a word in. Finally, the owner of the track came by and ordered the douchebag off the property, or he would call the police for a trespass order. The owner also informed the douchebag that he was banned from the track for the rest of the year. We returned to our stall with the keys in hand and waited for the douchebag. to leave. Having no choice, he left without the car. This morning, I was served with a $100,000

lawsuit from the douchebag. Turns out, he had taken a $100,000 loan to build this race car and still owes almost all of it. According to his suit, the loan was taken in July of last year. He not only lost the race, fair and square, which he knowingly bet his car on, but decided to litigate against me, not my wife. I can only assume. this is due to his blind rage and misogyny. Before anyone asks, he lost a 1969 Pontiac GTO with a specialty engine in it from Texas Speed and a whole lot of other engine upgrades. The engine alone retails for 45K. Checking the price of stock 69 GTO, they seem to be between 60k to 70K. So I'd assume that this car is worth about $75,000 to $80,000. This D bag is going to be a gigantic headache. I can already

tell. Then OP posted an update. You see, the entitled douche, Chad Chattington the 3rd, decided to file a frivolous lawsuit, which cost me 500 bucks to have my lawyer get it thrown out before week's end. However, you see, Monday we filed our own paperwork. First, we started with personal protection orders for both myself and my wife. We then filed a defamation suit that also seek legal fees as well as missed income due to time spent at the courts. The suit in total was for $18,000. I own four businesses and make an average of $1,380 an hour, and the wife makes around $300 per hour. Today, we went into court over the PPO's. My wife and I decided to take the GTO to court, and as I parked in the parking lot, I saw Chad getting out of his car directly across from us.

Chad looked like steam should be coming from his ears, but he did manage to not say a word. After about 70 minutes, the court called our cases for the PPO's. Chad wanted a hearing. Through the hearing, the whole story was told, and the judge was very interested in Chad's physical aggression and threats. Chad also brought up the fact that the courts threw out his lawsuit for theft and stated he's going to lose his house because he can't get justice. The judge called for recess and returned 15 minutes later, with the now dismissed lawsuit filed by Chad. According to Chad's lawsuit, he was forced into betting via threats of violence. After 15 minutes of Chad explaining how he was in fear for his life as I threatened him repeatedly, it was now my attorney's turn to speak. You see, on all of my cars,

not only do I have a dash cam, but I have Blackview systems, which record inside and outside audio, along with 270 degree around the car and interior. We had this footage available in courts. The footage directly contradicted Chad's sob story. After the video finished, playing, the judge ruled for three years of restraining orders against Chad for both myself and my wife, a $5,000 settlement, and he found Chad in contempt of court for perjuring himself. Chad was sentenced to seven days in county lockup and $3,000 fines for his losses. Please, fellas, leave the misogyny in the 1950s. Our next write of post is from Infinitum Vortex.

Our company went through a reorganization, as in fire people and give more work to people still left with the company while paying us peanuts. We're a small company with less than 200 employees and trying to retain our government customers while big companies like Amazon Cloud will replace us in less than 10 years. The government customers love working with us because this is the only thing we do and treat the customers better than big contractors who don't care. My work laid off 30 people from my team of 50. So now 20 people do the work of 50 people at the same salary. We're paid by the month and not work hours and we don't get sales bonuses. I have a habit of reviewing everything carefully and spending hours on each contract, even ones that just make a few thousand dollars. The government

vendor selection process is slow and they're very risk-averse. So a lot of customers start at just a few thousand dollars, but they end up in an eight or nine-figure contract if everything goes well. Since people were laid off, I was struggling with the work volume and as a result, contracts were piling up. The sales director from a different team did not like me, as I was slow and also catching any tricks the sales team tried to play by over-promising the customer or something shady. Government clients and customers loved working with me, the support I provided, and I was truthful regarding our capability and our drawbacks. This was something else the sales director hated me for, since he thought that I was tanking his sales. However, almost all of my clients

were repeat customers for over a decade. For example, sales wanted a school district to buy outdated Dell Windows laptops while the entire state was moving towards new, cheaper Chromebooks. Schools have a small budget, and whatever they buy stays for five plus years. The sales team was offloading expensive, useless stuff to get better bonuses, and also charged the customer nearly a million dollars to provide IT support for faults arising from ancient hardware. During my conversation with the school district, I shared examples of state governments in the Northeast buying Chromebooks and saving money while future-proofing the hardware. It was my job to get the best quote to the customer and developed trust to sign a five to 10-year contract. So this school

district bought Chromebooks, which were 40% cheaper and had less than 20% of the previously quoted IT support cost. As a result, the sales team lost a few thousand dollars in bonuses, but we brought this customer with us for a five-year contract. The sales director got pissed as I was working on small contracts at a slow pace and reprimended me in front of our manager. My manager didn't care and didn't defend me and asked, why don't you follow what the sales director says and stop busting over small contracts? I said small contracts turn into big contracts, hence I should pay attention to them as well. Mistakes in small contracts could harm us if the contract becomes big. I'm struggling to work because you gave me the job of three or four people. At this point, he was shouting at me that I don't understand

contracts, that he's been doing this stuff for five years, and he makes more money in a month than I do in a year. So I should listen to him and not question him. This was a bit insulting, as I live in a shared apartment, and I'm struggling to make ends meet, while he drives an expensive luxury car and just goes out on fancy lunches with government employees. I ask the sales director to send an email with the list of suggestions to improve my work. He rudely complied and said, can you not even remember what I just said in the meeting? His email said, do not review contracts less than $100,000 and trust the sales team that due diligence has been done. I replied by copying my manager in the email that this could create liability in the future. And I want him to confirm

again that the sales team will do financial and legal compliance themselves for the small contract. and that I need to stop revising small government contracts below 100K with no exceptions unless told otherwise. This was gold. Instead of spending two hours on small contracts, I spent 10 minutes. And voila! Backlog cleared. I'm home by 6.30 p.m. Now, a contract worth 10K comes through.

I found some issues with the contract since it said that we offer 30% rebates to our software providers. This was something we stopped doing five years ago. And now we just offer software providers a 5 to 10% rebate on contracts. Also, I knew this government client recently got a massive budget and was on a spending spree. There's a high chance that this $10,000 customer will become a $100 million customer. And the 30% rebate means that we have to give $30 million on top of the usual cost. But I remembered what the sales director said, why don't you follow what the sales director says and stop fussing over small contracts?

So, 10 minutes later, I email no issues detected based on compliance check by the sales team. As I mentioned, government contracts are slow, and no one cared about the 30% rebate issue since it was just a $10,000 customer. Ten months later, the state government customers said that they want to work with us and get at least the same terms or better for a new $50 million contract. This was the largest contract in our company's history. The sales director happily gave him a handshake deal that will offer the same or better terms. The government can legally just buy more on their current contract, so the sales director had no issue promising the same terms. Given the contract size, everyone from legal, IT, and finance gets involved to work on just that contract.

The sales team was giddy that they'd get million dollar bonuses. I don't get a sales bonus to ensure their business. that I protect customers and the company. The finance team finishes their review and said the company is going to lose $8 million and not make any money. Everyone is shocked. The sales director gave a deal without checking with us

and we can't go back on something we offer. Changing contract terms is frowned upon by the government and they have legal contracts stating nothing will change. We are legally obligated to offer the government the same terms for three years. The legal team says that we need to take a hit on our balance sheet and swallow the losses. The CEO called a big meeting in a fancy conference room with big TV screens and everyone had to find a scapego to take the blame.

Every department lead, managers, and people involved in this contract were summoned. The sales leader had to explain to his team why they won't get bonuses on this big contract they spent over three months on. Finally, legal and finance meet and share their findings that we lost money due to the business. 30% rebate clause. The sales director goes crazy and blamed me in front of everyone and asked me to pack my stuff in front of 30 people. He followed by saying that I am terrible at my job, despite my 100% customer satisfaction. I calmly opened my laptop and connected the display cable and opened Outlook while displaying his email on three big TV screens stating that I should stop reviewing small contracts. While all 30 people read the email with a faint smile, I await the sales

director's reaction. He goes into rage mode, claiming I misunderstood his email and I'm terrible at my job. Then I scroll down where he ignored my warning regarding potential liability to the company, and his response explicitly asking me to ignore that. His face turned white when he realized he screwed up. He then blabbered trying to find some other scapegoat, making racist tirades against our IT consultants in Vietnam, and he just lost it. The aftermath. I was told to spend two to three hours on each contract, and the company eventually figured out that it was cheaper for them to hire 20 people like me and pay a 70k every year than to take big losses on their contracts. Our team has 40 members now. Still less than 50, but enough to offset the contract volume. Because of the losses,

the sales director had to pay back his previous year's bonus as he had a clawback clause with the company, i.e., if you screw up, you need to pay us. The sales director had to pay nearly 300k and was fired from his job. He then sued our company for wrongful termination, and we just heard today that he lost the case and now owes us another 200k in the job. in legal fees. Now, he owes over half a million dollars to the company. The stupid sales director really should have noticed the red flag when OP sent an email saying, are you sure this is what you want to do? But no, the guy was too blinded by money to listen to common sense. That was our slash pro revenge. And if you like this content, be sure to follow my podcast
