And now it's been six years since I had left and now I'm back baby. Hell yeah. I'm back baby. I'm back baby. Let's go. And now we're gonna listen to some fucked up Reddit stories. All right. All right. All right let's hop into this first story. All right. I'm curious if this will be relatable at all for you guys. Is it about friendship or something? I don't maybe. Is it about one person leaving a company and really not talking to the other person

Starting point is 00:01:34 for multiple years and then coming back together and then now they're reunited again? Well, let's see. I did post that on, am I the assh This is just your story? Am I the asshole for trying to reconnect with my childhood best friend? Did you? Is this you? Did you do this? Okay, let's see.

Starting point is 00:01:57 I'm going to get some context. I don't know how you'd be an asshole for that, but I guess we're about to find out. Yeah, all right. So this is a 26-year-old woman. I am marrying the love of my life and we've begun wedding preparations. While making the list, I reminisced over my childhood best friends, specifically my old best friend, Mona, who's also a 26-year-old woman, and decided that I'd liked her to attend. To explain, Mona and I were best friends growing up. We shared the same childhood friends despite me living out of the city for most of the year with my father and only being in the same state for a few months of the summer.

Starting point is 00:02:30 We had a falling out part way through high school and she ceased to talk to me. I told my fiancee that I wanted to reconnect with Mona. So I reached out to our mutual childhood friends and asked if they still kept in touch. One of them did and gave me her number. I text and said I was in town and wanted to meet up to catch up and talk. Fast forward a few days, Mona's come to meet my fiance and I at a local shop for coffee and I introduced them and told her that I'd like her to attend my wedding. She stared at me and said that she wasn't expecting my wedding to be the topic of catching up. She coldlylylyly thly thly thly apologize about what happened when we were younger. I was confused. She callously said in front of my fiance that she stopped talking to me and cut contact with me because of what happened with her boyfriend when we were in high school. My fiance asked what happened and she told him that I kissed her high

Starting point is 00:03:20 school boyfriend during a summer that I was in the state and stole him from her, leading her boyfriend to dump her over text. She went on to say that if I didn't have an apology, she wasn't interested in speaking with me. She excused herself and paid for her meal. When we got home, I was fuming that Mona was still upset by something that I couldn't even remember and that she misconstrued. My fiance told me that I didn't that I that I that I the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the thoome their their their thoom-a theired their their their their. I theired theired theired theired theired their. I was their. I was the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the, the, the, the, I was the, the, the, the, the, the, theeeeeeeeeananuu.eanedu.Iu.Iu.In'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n't toldeuroeuroe fiance told me that I didn't mention this stealing boyfriend thing and asked if I ever apologized for it. I admitted

Starting point is 00:03:49 that at the time I didn't, but I didn't think it was that big of a deal. We were kids, it was a high school relationship, they were only dating for eight months, and he made the first move. My fiancee told me I was the asshole. I think otherwise because it was literally a blip of time so long ago, and I assume Mona would have understood my side. It was over 10 years ago. We were 15. Am I the asshole? Oh.

Starting point is 00:04:14 Yeah. I like how she's like, just get over it. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. That was some quick math. But, uh, the ha ha ha ha ha ha. I feel like it's not that big of a deal

Starting point is 00:04:31 to just apologize at that point. It's, yeah. No, go for it. It sounds like she just doesn't want to apologize. She's like, hey, it wasn't that big of a deal, then why can't she apologize? That's my thinking. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, it's also just kind of weird that like, she doesn't, like, she's like, it's not a big deal. We were so young, like that somehow negates the fact that she, it does sound like she stole that person's boyfriend.

Starting point is 00:04:59 Yeah. And she's like, I don't even remember it. Like, for you, this was a big day of your life, but for me, it was Tuesday. It's also specifically, they stopped being friends because of this incident. This was the last time they talked. Why doesn't she realize that? Why doesn't she connect those dots? I feel like, because that's the simple thing,

Starting point is 00:05:18 come back, hey, I know we ended on weird terms, and I'm so sorry about that, but we're different people now. And we can, I'd love to see what our friendship could be now. I feel like that's your easy in. And that's simple, how long would that would take in 20 seconds? It was just like, yeah. Yeah. And she's also like, she misconstrued this thing that I don't even remember thii. that I that I that I that I that I that I that I that I that I that Ied it? Yeah, exactly. Yeah, no, I don't remember this thing that you're getting completely.

Starting point is 00:05:45 Yeah. It also feels like she's kind of not really caring about this friend and more like wanting the nostalgia factor for her wedding maybe. It's like what her friend represents to her. Yeah, it's like, oh, yeah, memories. I want to have those at my wedding. I'll throw th those th those th those th those tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho that. that. that. that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that. that's that's that's that. that's that's that's that's that. that's that that. that's that's the. that. that. that the. 'll throw those in there. Without actually considering. Like you're a freaking prop. Yeah, like yeah, just like a little little collectible. Yeah, when we reconnected, I should not have bothered, you know, communicating or apologizing for any of our history and I should just get over it. Yeah, get over it.

Starting point is 00:06:18 Look, yeah, we worked together for 12 years. Who cares? Get over. There's some comments here. It was over a decade ago, and also it was her who was hurt, not me. So surely she must be over it by now. That's someone doing quotes. OK, yeah. Someone says, still upset by something I couldn't even remember, and that she misconstrued, girl, pick aside because that just gave me whiplash. Yeah, exactly, she pointed out.

Starting point is 00:06:49 Yeah. I feel like that happens a lot in these am I the asshole stories. They trip up over their own words. And they'll- Because they're not telling the truth. Yeah, they're not being reliable narrator. She literally knew that they were dating for eight months that he made the first move. All of these. She remembered all these specific details. She vividly remembers this shit. Yeah. I think she also saw this as an opportunity to just kind of like let this guilt float away. Yeah, it didn't matter right. Well, even posting it was her trying th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. She the th. She th. She th. She th. She th. She th. She th. She the th. She th. She th. She th. She th. She th. She th. She th. She th. She th. She th. She the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the their. She. She. She. She. She. She. She. She. She. She. She's. She's. She's. She's. She's th. She's th. She's th. th. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. Well, even posting it was her trying to get other people to be on her side about it,

Starting point is 00:07:25 so she didn't feel any. Exactly. She's just not accepting responsibility. Did she do any follow-up or anything? No follow-up. She was like, did not get the support that I needed? No, I think she was, the devil, which is where the worst am I the asshole stories go. I wouldn't qualify it as the worst, not anywhere near. Just ones where they're clearly the person posting is the asshole.

Starting point is 00:07:52 Like clearly the asshole. Yeah. And our next story was also cross posted on am I the devil. So check this out. Am I the asshole for hosting an alternative reception for my daughter's vegan and alcohol-free wedding? Huh. Okay. Oh, yeah.

Starting point is 00:08:09 Okay. My daughter and her fiance are planning on having a vegan and alcohol free wedding, which caused an uproar within our family. Buh. What, you, oh, you need the alcohol there? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Many of our family members and friends are meat eaters and enjoy having a drink or two, and they feel uncomfortable and unaccustomed to the restrictions being imposed on them.

Starting point is 00:08:33 They feel like they won't be able to fully enjoy the wedding and that it is not a true representation of who they are. I understand my daughter's choices and respect my daughter're meat and beer family. I respect my daughter's choices, but I also want to make sure that everyone feels comfortable and happy. After much discussion with my family and friends, I decided to host an alternative reception at my house where meat and alcohol are going to be served for those who are unhappy with my daughter's reception.

Starting point is 00:09:01 I made it clear that this is an optional event and that everyone was welcome to attend or not. Many guests are choosing to attend the alternative reception instead of my daughter's reception, which is making her feel completely distraught and angry. She thinks that I have disrespected her toobey their wedding, told her that this is not the case and that I am simply trying to provide the wedding guests with more options. She insists that I should have supported her decision and made sure that everyone was comfortable with it. My daughter is threatening to disinvite me and my husband from the wedding if I do not cancel this alternative reception, and I am now unsure if I am doing the right thing.

Starting point is 00:09:38 I want to make sure that everyone is happy. Am I the asshole for hosting an alternative reception? I have lots of thoughts. Yeah. The fact that it was competing? That's the big, but my biggest issue is that it was competing. I don't think it's like, see, I don't see them as competing things, but I have an issue with the people that went, okay, I'm just not going to to to to to to to go to go to thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, I'm thi, I'm thi, I'm thi, I'm thi, I'm thi, I'm thi, I'm thi, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm to go to the actual wedding and I'll just

Starting point is 00:10:05 go to this party instead. That's my issue. I thought it was... I think that's where the competing is coming. Yeah. It's the same time. Wait, wait, it's at the same time. That's what, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. That's what I'm saying. That's. That's. That's. That's. That's. That's. that's. that's. that's. that's. that's. that's. that's. that's. that's. that's. that's. that's. that's. that's. that's what, that's what, that's. that's.... that's. that's. that's... That's... That's... That's... That's... That's... I. that's. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. That. I. I. That. That. That. That. That. That. That. That. That. That. That's. That's. That's. That's. That's. That's. That's. That's. That's. That's. That's. That's. That's. That's what. That's what. That's what. That's what. That's what. That's what. that's what. that's what. that's what. that's what. that's what. that's what. that's what. That's what. That's what. That's what. That's what. That's what. That's what. That's where it's stealing. It's not, hey, there's this additional thing the next night or later.

Starting point is 00:10:25 There's no fucking, that would be insane. That would be an asshole thing to do. That's why I have lots of thoughts. I mean, look, receptions typically happen right after the ceremony. Yeah. It feels weird to be like, oh, here's a reception that's happening a day later. Well, but I there, like, like, like, like, like, there, there, the they. th, th, th, th, th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi. the. the. the's the. thathe's thathea. thoes. tho, that's that's that's, that's, that's, that's, that's. that's. that's. that's. that's. that's. that's a. that's a. that's a. that's a. that's a. that's. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's a th. It's a th. It's a the. It's a the. the. thea's a tha's a thea's tha's tha's tha's thooooooooooooooooooe. It's. It's people that will do like, if their partner is from the East Coast and they're from the West Coast, they'll do a wedding and reception on the West Coast, then they'll go to the East Coast and do a reception there.

Starting point is 00:10:54 But either way, like, many guests are choosing to attend the alternative reception instead of my daughter's reception. I don't know. thi thii. reception. I don't know either way it feels like this is clearly pulling away from the daughter's plans. For me what sums it all up is I'm unsure if I'm doing the right thing I want to make sure that everyone is happy. My opinion is that I'm like it's your daughter's wedding if she's not happy then you fail. I don't care about everyone else. Also the daughter already expressed she's not happy. Yeah it's like and you go on Reddit to see if the the the the the the daughter the daughter th the daughter th th th th th th th th th th. th. th. th. th. th. the th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi's thi's the's tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho the thu thu. thu thu. thu. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. the. the. the. the. the. theeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee. the. everyone else. Also the daughter already expressed she's not happy.

Starting point is 00:11:25 Yeah, it's like, she told. And you go on Reddit to see if everyone's happy? Yeah. I'm gonna make sure everyone on the internet is happy too. And I feel like this happens a lot with weddings where like, I'm not saying it's just the moms, but I have heard many times, mom, I don't even th th th th th th the friends that have nothing to do with The bride at all and they're like mom. I don't even know these these friends that you're inviting But it's like they're just doing it because like they want like you know people to hang out with Yeah that and it's just like they just want to have like a good time my issue is that this person? this person knows that it's taking away and that it's making their their their their their their their their their their their th. th. th. th. thir thir thir thir thir thir thir thir thir tho. tho. tho. tho. tho. tho. thi. thi thi tho. tho. tho. tho. thi thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi thi thi. thi thi th. th. thi th. thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi that's thi that's the is just the is the is the the the the the the the the the thi the thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi issue is that this person knows that it's taking away and that

Starting point is 00:12:05 it's making their daughter unhappy so I think that's where the decision should be obvious regardless if it's at the same time or not like that doesn't matter the fact that that they're saying people are choosing this instead of that I think is just a clear indication to like not do it or make a different day or switch it or tell the people to like not do it or make it a different day or switch it or tell the people if you're coming to my thing you have to go to my daughter's thing sorry that's the rule. Right if the daughter's threatening to disinvite you from the wedding it's like all right you've made your message clear I'm

Starting point is 00:12:33 cancelling this thing yeah it's fine there's some comments here there attend the alternative reception instead of my daughter's reception. Instead of, your daughter absolutely nailed it. You are upstaging slash sabotaging your own daughter's wedding reception because you and your family can't go a couple of hours without meat and alcohol. So a bunch of selfish, self-absorbed alcoholic ask-ass who hate vegetables too much to celebrate someone on their big day. I'd go no contact with you for this stunt. Congratulations. You definitely just destroyed your relationship with your daughter. You and your family sound absolutely insufferable though, so you're definitely doing her a favor. You're the assel. Damn. Ooh, that was rough. That's brutal. Damn! I mean, like, it is really, I did really

Starting point is 00:13:16 love that line that the mom had about like, you know, like not drinking and not eating meat just doesn't really align with people's culture. And it's like, so you're saying like their culture is like getting fucked up and eating hotdogs. It's like not enough of an excuse. Like I, and yeah, I mean, like, look, like, I, at my birthday party, like I wasn't, I wasn't I wasn't drinking during that time and everyone was like bringing alcohol everybody was drinking and like I You know at the beginning of the night I was like oh man this is gonna like kind of stuff Because I'm not gonna be like on the same like level as everyone and then like you know as the night like pro-like progress. I was like oh, I'm just like Enjoying my time with my friends and like yeah, even if I'm not drinking it doesn doesn't matter. Like, I got some tobo chico. You know, I'm set.

Starting point is 00:14:08 Someone else said, the wedding isn't about your family. It's about your daughter and her husband. Y'all can't live without meat and alcohol for one fucking evening. You're the asshole and so is the rest of your family. This wedding is a representation of your daughter and her future husband. Why should it be a representation of the rest of the family? Spoiler, it shouldn't. Yeah, I mean, you know, I know weddings, I know there's plenty of weddings and stuff and it's like it's one night, like who cares, whatever.

Starting point is 00:14:34 It's about them, they're allowed to dictate what they want. I'm always going to prefer, if I don't really know the person. and I get invited invited invited invited invited invited invited invited invited invited invited invited invited invited invited invited invited invited invited invited invited invited the the to be. person and I'm getting and I get invited to a wedding and I find out there's not going to be alcohol I may not go yeah if I don't really know if it's like oh my a friend to a friend and they're inviting a bunch of people I'd be like okay yeah oh no no no alcohol I'm out but uh but uh but your daughter but oh any any of my family I'm going no matter what yeah and sometimes like events like a. the the. to tho thin thin thin thin thin thin thin thin thin thin thin thin thin thi thi thi thin thi thi thi thi the thi thi the the the the the the the the the the the the the the to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to the the the the the the the the the the the the the their their their their their their their their their their their the. their the the the the the the the the the the the the. the the the the. the the. the the. the, I don't want to get drink too much. I like to kind of stay aware and have a good time and be present.

Starting point is 00:15:11 Anthony, do you ever struggle, like as a vegan, do you ever struggle with events and stuff that don't serve any vegan food? Have you had, I feel like in LA that issue doesn't arise too much. No, I mean I deal with it a lot but then usually I'll just the thia I'll just thia I'll just thia I'll just thia I'll just thia I'll just the thia. thia. thia. thia. thi I'll just thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. that I'll that I'll that I'll that that that that issue that issue. that issue. that issue. that issue. I'll that issue. I'm that issue. I'm that issue. I'm that issue. I'll that issue. I'll that issue. I'll that issue. I'll that issue. I'll thi. I'll thi. I'll th. I'll th. I'll th. I'll thi. I'll th. I'll th. I'll thi. I'll the. I'll the. I'll the. I'm the. I'm the. I'm the. I'm the. I'm thea. I'm toea. I'm thi. I'm th a lot, but then usually I'll just eat the salad or I'll pick around, like, I don't know. It's like, if I'm going to an event, I'll assume that they're not going to have many options and that's okay. I'll just mentally prepare to eat something afterwards. It's not that big of a deal than me. And you got that. You always have like a protein and not feel like, well, I can think about his food? Yeah, do you think the daughter would have been upset if the, if all those family members just had a flask on them? A flask and a turkey leg around, like tied around the hip, like with some rope?

Starting point is 00:15:54 Isn't the fucking biking? Stump into their pants? Oh my God! Don't worry, it's th. It's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, the. the, the, the, the, the, the, like, like, like, their, the, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, if... the, if. the, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, the. the. their. their. their. their. the the their. the. the the their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. turkey leg. Also I wonder like if it was a dry wedding then if it's somebody, like if the groom or bride is like sober has like an issue with alcohol. That's actually any of the reasoning. Like it could have been we don't want any alcohol because of X or they don't even know we don't even know how strongly they felt about the vegan situation. Like if someone's eating meat in the corner do they care? Well because it it it it th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. the th. th. th. thi thi thi's thi's the. the. the. the. the. the the the. the the the the. the. the. I the. I's th. I's th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I's th. I's th. I's th. I's th. I's th. I's th. I's th. I's th. I's th. the. the. the. theeeeeeeeeean. theeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee. the. the if someone's eating meat in the corner, do they care? You know? Well, because it's also, it's an alcohol-free wedding.

Starting point is 00:16:27 It's not like, oh, it's not open bar. I don't know what this venue is or something, but I am curious about the specific wording on that, if it's like no alcohol, or if it's like bring your own or something. So that does make me wonder if it's thin thin thin thin thin thin thin thin thin thin thin thin thin' thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, th, th, thi, thi, th, thi. thi. thi. thi. tho. th circumstances. All right, well, moving on. Am I the asshole for telling my roommate that I don't give a fuck about her boyfriend's allergies? Oh, oh, here we go. I mean, even the wording of that kind of implies yes.

Starting point is 00:16:58 But let's see, let's see, I'll hold back my judgment for now. I, a 24-year-old woman, have been living with my roommate, Laila, who's, and th-and-and-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s, th-s, th-s, th-s, th-s, th-s, th-a-a-a-a-a-a-s, th-s, th-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a, th, th-a, tha-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-s, tha-s, tha-s, tha-s, tha-sa-sa-sa-sa-sa-sa-sa-sa-sa-sa-sa-sa-sa-sa-sa-sa-sa-sa-sa-a-a- 24-year-old woman, have been living with my roommate, Layla, who's 25 and also a woman, for about 10 months. We have a two-year lease, so I really want to fix this so we're not miserable for the next year, and to start, I need to see if I'm in the wrong. Laila started dating Kyle, to severe food allergies. to shellfish, nuts, and soy, as well as a lot more mild slash moderate allergies. I use nuts and soy a lot in my cooking and some occasional shrimp. At first Lela would tell me that Kyle was coming over and I would just adjust whatever I was planning on making if it was something that would be aerosolized, mostly nuts,

Starting point is 00:17:38 and this was fine. He's never had any reactions at our apartment from my food. But it's slowly,ated, and now they want me not to keep any ingredient in the apartment that could cause him anaphylaxis, even if I'm not actively eating or cooking it while he's over. I've refused, and they've both pushed back a lot on it, and I snapped a little and told them, I don't give a fuck about his allergies. I can accommodate him to an extent, but I don't care if the contents of my cabinet make him uncomfortable. He doesn't need to be near my things at all. They're being very dramatic and insisting I'm going to kill him with my selfishness by having closed jars of nuts in the kitchen I pay to use. But I'm not going to have my diet restricted

Starting point is 00:18:21 by someone who doesn't even live here. Layla isn't speaking to me at all right now, and I feel a little bad now because I do understand how serious allergies are, but I also think they're overextending boundaries by telling me that I can or can't eat what I can or can't eat when he's not even here. So I should say the verdict on here is not the asshole. Right, it's like you're not the asshole. And I, you know, I see the reasoning there of like, this is your apartment, your roommate is not allergic to anything. And I believe she started dating Kyle after they were already roommates.

Starting point is 00:18:57 So, you know, they had their agreement, they had everything she was already cooking these foods. Also, like, she said like like, I don't give a fuck, but I mean, she clearly did. She clearly gives a fuck. She did make an effort in the beginning to like not cook those things around him. And what's strange is that she describes how he's not had a reaction, but she has made the accommodations. But out of seemingly nowhere, according to this, they suddenly are like, like, like, th, th, to, th, to, to, the, to, th, th, th, th, th, th. th. thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, like, like, like, like, thi, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, to, to, to, the the they. they. they. they. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi. th th th ththey suddenly are like, no, you need to now take out everything.

Starting point is 00:19:26 Yeah, there's never, there's never a reaction to it before. So, yeah, no, it's not like an incident happened. Yeah. And then it's like, oh, okay, sorry, can we please? I don't know. It's it is strange. It's like, it's a little, from the roommate it seems a little controlling. I wonder how much this is coming from the boyfriend and how much is coming from the roommate. Yeah. It seems like they had a pretty good compromise going that was working for everyone and it was very reasonable

Starting point is 00:19:53 and it was communicative and they were all on the same page. And it sounds like she kind of had some of these outbursts that would be considered asshole adjacent. You know, it's like I don't that, it was like, it was like, it was like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, that, it's like, that, give a fuck about his allergies. Yeah, that was like an asshole, like, outbursts. But it sounds like it's, because it caught her off guard after feeling like they had already found a good compromise. So I can see why she had those outbursts. Yeah, I think what's also tough here is if it was her roommate who had the allergies, I get that.

Starting point is 00:20:20 I get that. You're living under the roof, they're paying to be there. That's more understandable. This is someone she started dating after they were living there. Yeah. That she's asking her to change her entire lifestyle for it. It's like, could you go and just stay with your boyfriend then? Like, can you go visit him there more often? And whenever he is, if he comes here less, I can really try to clean the place and make sure it's not. But this almost feels like the step of like, well, I want Kyle to live here.

Starting point is 00:20:47 It gives me that vibe. And what I always wonder too with these Reddit stories, with roommates specifically is I'm like, okay, so she's drawing this line about the allergies. What other things are happening in the house? Like, is there other things that they're upset at each other about? Probably. That are not being addressed, it's almost like, there's a war going on that we're not seeing. Yeah, it seems like it's about this,

Starting point is 00:21:13 but there's like twice as much stuff going on, probably. And there is an update. Oh! I have, I have just just, I've just, I've just, I've just, I've just, I've just, I've just, I've just, I've just, I've just, I've just, I've just, I've just, I've just, I've just, I've just, I've just, I've just, I've just, I've just, I've just, I've, I've, I've, I've, I've, I've just, I've just, I've just, I've, I've, I've, I've th. I've th. I've that, I've that, I've that, I've that, I've that, I've that, I've that, I've that, I've that, I've that, I've that, I've that, I've that, I've that, I've that, I've that, I've that, I've that, I've th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. that a particle in the air. Yeah, she took, she busted one nut open and it was all over. I sat down with Layla a few days after my initial post and really talked with her about why I felt her and Kyle's request was unacceptable and I laid out my biggest concerns. I eat mostly plants so nuts and soy are like I laid out my biggest concerns. I eat mostly plants so nuts and soy are like 50% of my protein. So my grocery bill would increase because I'd have to make it up in animal products. Who's going to pay for that? I'm not vegetarian, but I don't really want to eat like that and I definitely don't want to pay for it, so would they make up that increase?

Starting point is 00:22:01 I honestly didn't trust them to stop there. I already did what I felt was reasonable accommodation and it wasn't enough so how long till they take coconut eggs and tomatoes from me too. It was weird. Yeah I don't they're gonna take my job. They're gonna take everything! First they took my nuts and I said nothing. Then they took my nuts and I said nothing. Then they took my kidney. It was weird as fucked to ask me in the first place and I felt really disrespected because this is my home and I don't take second place to a guest. I can, I can to her personally of course, but that doesn't extend to the apartment.

Starting point is 00:22:42 I said I would agree to continue not using his serious allergens when he was present or soon to be. to be. And to be. And to be.. And th. And th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. took took took took took took took took thi. I took took took took took took took took took took took took took thick thi. thi. th. th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I took took took took took took took took took took took took took took took took took took took took took took took took took took my took my the took my the took today. took the took took took the today. today today. today. today extend to the apartment. I said I would agree to continue not using his serious allergens when he was present, or soon to be, and that was the line. It didn't go over well at all, and Layla told me I was overreacting and I could just do it and kept talking over me when I tried to say that I wouldn't. Eventually she slipped up with the, well, the conversation with her for the night. I fucking called it. We argued in circles about it for nearly two weeks and once it was out she didn't drop it. I realized it wasn't going to get better so I did what I didn't want to do and told her that I was going to the landlord about breaking my part of the lease and she freaked out. I don't know where Kyle's money goes, but apparently he doesn't have any because she was yelling

Starting point is 00:23:25 about not being able to afford it on her own, and he couldn't help even if he moved in. I told her that this had gone way too far, and I didn't think I could be happy living here with her anymore. If it were easier for her to leave instead, that would be fine too. She was really upset and I said I wouldn't force her out or leave, the the lease alone, but it was one or the other. Eventually she accepted it and decided she would move back in with her dad. That was the end of April and she's fully moved out as of this week. My childhood best friend, Allie, has been flip-flopping on moving to my city for forever now, and me calling and saying I had a cheap open bedroom if she came right away, got her to finally pull the the the, and the, and the, and the, and the, and the, and the, and the, and the, and the, and the, and the, and the, and the, and I, and I, and I, and I, and I, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, and I, and, and, the, toe, toe, and, and, toe, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, toe.e.e.e.e.Auuice, toe.s.s.s. toe. toe. toe. toea. toea. toea. toea. toea. toe. toe. toe. toe. toe. toe. toe., got her to finally pull the trigger on it. And it helped Layla out because she didn't have to pay

Starting point is 00:24:06 to break the lease since I agreed to cover the full rent at my own risk. Allie has stuff to tie up in our home state still, but she's already sent me half of July's rent. I just got a squeeze for a little while, super excited to see her and show her around. Plus, we've been cooking together since fourth grade, so that'll be a nice change. And I can get a cat. It's been a bit of a rough couple months, but I'm very happy with how things are looking right now.

Starting point is 00:24:31 So I just wanted to share all that with you guys. Well, it's just wo'er. Well, I just w-tha'a'e'l--tha'er. th'er, it's th'er, it's th'er, it's th'er, it's th'er, it's-n'er, it's-n'er, it's-n'er, it's tho'er, it's tho'er, th'er, th'er, th'er, th'er, tho'er's tho, tho, tho, thi, thi, thi, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho'a, tho'er's tho'er, I'er, I'er, I'er, I'er, I'er, I'er, I'er, I'er, I'er, I'er, tho'er, tho'er, tho'er, tho'er, tho'er, tho'er, to-a'er, to-a'er'er'er'er'er'er'e. too'eee. too'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'er, it's like they were prepping for that situation. Absolutely. Yeah. And I'm surprised that the boyfriend and Layla are still together. I'm surprised he hasn't had any reactions to her because she sounds kind of nuts. I'm out. Anthony's like, I'm out. Is there a revoke by Smosh button? Yeah, yeah.

Starting point is 00:25:06 I'm out. That was a terrible joke. Look, I also understand people being overly cautious about allergies. It's like, when you have like an anaphylactic event, it's a pretty traumatizing thing and you don't ever want to be in that situation again, so. No, yeah, I would be terrified of causing an allergic reaction in someone. I. I. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I. I'm. I. I. I'm, I. I. I. I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm that, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm that, I'm that, I'm that, I was like, I was. Sorry, I was. Sorry. Sorry. Sorry. Sorry. I was. I was. I was. I was. I was. I was, I was, I was, I was. I was, I was, I was, I was, I was. I was, I was. I was, I was, I was. I was, I was like, I was like, I'm th. I'm th. I'm th. I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi, I'm th. th. thi, I'm th want to be in that situation again. So no yeah I would be terrified of causing an allergic reaction in someone. I'd be like oh my oh my freaking god like I was I for one an episode of eat it or eat it I made cookies and some other things but one of the things involved nuts one of them didn't and I was like I realized afterward that I'm like oh I didn't wash the like kitchen area properly so I like the like the the the the the the the th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th. th. th. th. th. th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I thi thi thi the. I th. I things I things I things I things I things I'd things I'd things I'd things I'd things I'd th. th. th. th. th. th. th. I'd th. I'd th. I'd th. I'd th. I'd th. I'd th. I'd th. I'd th. I th. I'd th. I th. I thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thin thin thin thi thi thi things like like things like things like things like I'd thin things like I'd things I'd things I'd things I'd things I'm like, oh, I didn't wash the kitchen area properly. So I like texted, because I know Keana's allergic to nuts,

Starting point is 00:25:47 so I text her, I was like, by the way, I didn't properly like clean the area and stuff. So everything that I'm bringing tomorrow was contaminated. Like, just so you know. At like 10 p.m. I was like, I'm texting you now now, I'm texting to to to to to to to to to to to to to to the to to the the to, I'm to, I'm tho, I'm tho, I'm tho, I'm tho, I'm tho, I'm tho, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm the to. I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I'm, I'm, the, the, the, t......... t. t. t. te. te. te. te. te. te. ttoo. te. te. te. te. te. te. I'm letting you know, just don't eat any of it. Because I'm terrified of that. But I think that this is less about allergies and more about like asking to accommodate a partner of a roommate. Yeah.

Starting point is 00:26:13 And I don't know if that's something either of you guys can relate to if you ever dealt with that. You didn't have a partner suddenly move in with us. I know, I was gonna... I was gonna... Because we were, we were talking, yeah, when we were talking about like, oh, the partner like moving in and like not telling, I was gonna be like, hey, remember that time? I'm like, I didn't really tell you but my partner was gonna be moving in. And then they lived with us for a year and a half? Something like that. Yeah, yeah. Wow. Wow. So, so I. So, so I. So, so I. So, so I. So, so I. So, so I. So, so I. So, so I. So, so I. So, so I. So, so I. So, so I. So, so I. So I. So I. So I. So I. So I. So I. So I that. So I that. So I that. So I that. So I that. So I that. So I was. So I was. So I was. So I was. So I was. So I was. So I was. So I was. So I was. So I. So I. So I. So I. So I. So I. So I. So I. So I. So I. So I. So I. So I. So I. So I. So I. So I. So I. So I. So I. So I. So, I. So, I. So, I. So, I. I. I. I. I that, I th. I th. I had, I had. I had. I had. I had th. I had th. I had th. I had th. I had th. I had th. I had th. I had th. I had th. I had th. I was. on here. Here we go. Am I the asshole for not letting my apartment mate 21 female back inside after she got spat upon by a camel? What the fuck? I'm gonna take a drink for that one.

Starting point is 00:27:05 Yeah, okay. I'm dying to know where this is. Yeah, that's a fascinating type. Brooklyn. Yeah, yeah. So this takes place in Ohio. This just happened and it's been super stressful. this just happened and it's been super stressful.

Starting point is 00:27:21 I share an apartment with another woman and we've been decent enough acquaintances. I'm the primary tenant, but she's th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, I's, I's, I's, I's, I's, I's, I's, I's the th, I's th, I's thi, I's thi, I's thi, I'm, I'm, I'm the the the the thi, I'm, I'm to to to to to to to, I'm, I'm, I'm th, I'm, I'm th, I, I, I, I, I th, I th, I th, I th, I th, I th, I th, I's th, I's th, I's the the the the the the the the the the the thi, I's the the thin, I'm thin, I'm the the thin, the thin, the thin, thin, thin, thin, the thin, thin, thin, thin, I'm thin, thi, thi made the right decision. I share an apartment with another woman and we've been decent enough acquaintances. I'm the primary tenant but she's sub-leasing and the landlord is okay with that. Apparently she walked out to this fair that had all sorts of attractions and animals. It was walking distance about a mile away from our unit. I remember it being advertised but didn't go. Well to put it plainly, she got spat on by a camel. She texted me shortly after it happened to warn me that she was coming home. I thought, okay, what's the big deal? Come home. I saw her coming up the steps, looking miserable, through the window and went out to the

Starting point is 00:27:56 porch to greet her, and instantly I was hit with the most unbelievable vial smell I've ever smelled from a good 20 feet away. I really couldn't take it. I got only a whiff and I could feel my stomach churning. I went back inside and closed the door. She came up and tried to get inside with her key but I was practically begging her, no! Whatever happened you can't come in like that. She was yelling, why did I live here? And then was practically crying that she had nowhere else to go. I said, I'm sorry, but there's no way. I can't let that smell in here. I could smell her through

Starting point is 00:28:29 the door. I was gagging. I suggested that she find a hose or shower somewhere, or jump in a creek. Anything but coming in like that, but she was saying no store would let her in. But I held firm. I held the door closed until she walked away. She came back an hour later, soaking wet. Maybe she had jumped into creek. And opened the door. I couldn't just sit there holding it shut all day. And the smell was maybe barely better, but still horrific.

Starting point is 00:28:59 She jumped straight into the shower. But I can still faintly smell it throughout our whole living room and it's making me feel absolutely sick. Now we're both furious at each other. I'm mad that she came back in before the smell was gone and now the whole place smells unbearable. She's furious that I dared to hold the door shut and keep her out and is saying that she'll be talking to the landlord or a lawyer because that can't be legal, but I don't know what else I could have done. This is dreadful. Am I the asshole? This is dreadful.

Starting point is 00:29:28 There's a lot there. Holy shit. So we have a little, we did a little research on this. Oh, okay. A camel will bring some of its stomach contents into its mouth, mix them with saliva. This is called Cud, and spit it if they are feeling threatened or have been provoked by another animal or a human.

Starting point is 00:29:46 So it's like a horrible vomit. I've heard they spit. I had no idea I smell it. But it's not just saliva. It's like an acid, gross. So I guess it's more like a skunk type of defense. The verdict is asshole and I completely agree. Go find a creek. Go find a creek!

Starting point is 00:30:08 There's no creeks for miles, but just go! It's so sad. Or find a store or hose? She was saying no stores will let me. They're like, get out! What is a store going to do? Oh yes, come to our shower. A CBS holding the electric doors shut like, no!

Starting point is 00:30:26 I'm someone sounded like a zombie store. Yeah. Like, keep in the front. No, it's like, you can't get up a shot. And they're like, get out, get out. I think that's huge asshole. Yeah, I think that's like's trying to get the key open. You can't hold someone away from coming into their home. To shower, like, yeah.

Starting point is 00:30:48 You could step out, she could have stepped up to stop her. I would have been like, I need to leave. Yeah, I'm gonna leave, can you please? Like, after you're done showing and stuff, like, fabreeze the smell too. Yeah. Some comments, you're the asshole and it's likely illegal. If she's paying rent to live there, you can't just randomly lock her out because you don't like how she smells. When people are dirty and gross, the place they clean themselves up is their

Starting point is 00:31:16 bathroom, which you locked her from. The right thing to do would have been to leave while she gets cleaned up and come back with air fresh the air........... And the air. And, the air. And, their, their, their, their, their, to. to. the, the, to, to, to, the, to, to, the, to, to, their, to, their, their, and, their, their, and, and, their, and, their, and, and, their, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the they.

Someone else said, you're the asshole and absolutely vile. That's her home, that's where she's meant to clean off. Where else was she meant to do that? That's absolutely disgusting of you to do. Sure it smelt, it smelt, but she was probably embarrassed and in a terrible mood. Imagine having to walk the thoom. thoom. thoom. thoom. thoom. tho. tho. tho. tho. tho. tho. tho. tho. the tho. tho. tho. thi. tho. tho. tho-a. tho-n't tho-n't, the tho-n't their theirn't their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, thi. thr-in. thr-in. thr-n't thr-n't thr-s. thr-s. thooooooooooooooooo. thoooooooooo. thi. thi. thi.too, and just thinking of a nice shower and curling up in bed to just have someone hold the little door closed on the apartment you pay to live in. Last person said, uh, you could have locked yourself in your room after opening up all the windows, sprayed the place down with Ferbreeze after,

Starting point is 00:31:54 or just been a decent human being. I hope there's some repercutions for what you did because you you sound you sound you sound you sound you sound you sound you sound you sound you sound you sound you sound you sound you sound you sound you sound you sound you sound you sound you sound th, and inconsiderate. Yeah. It's just like inhumane. Like it just doesn't, she's not treating her like a human being. She's treating her like a dog. It, yeah. And it, I can't, it, what really hit. That's true, because I would bring my, whenever my dog got sprayed by a skunk, I would bring her into the house. I wouldn't go, go fight a go fight a creek. Get a creek. Get a creek. Get! Get a sheep. Get does a camel's breath smell like? It smells like a wet, slimy compost pile on a warm, nasty day. Oh.

Starting point is 00:32:32 Oh. Good. I mean, I've been to a petting zoo. Animal smell pretty bad. But it sounds like they can make you smell like a camel. But what hits is like, yeah, whenever you're like, when you're fucked up and you're like, up, like, you know what I mean? When you're fucked up and you're like, oh my god, I'm about to get home and I'm about

Starting point is 00:32:48 to be done with this. Yeah. And then you get home and you're locked out. But I feel like I've experienced similar things where you're like, oh, fuck, like, either your clothes are messy or you just exhausted, and then you're thi their their oh, I thought I was going to be home free soon, like. And it'd be one thing if the door was just locked. But literally, she's holding the door. Oh, you're like, yeah!

I was over my boyfriend's apartment this weekend and I was cooking dinner because he was studying for exams. I made pasta and a chunky sauce with meatballs and veggies. I told him dinner was ready and he goes what's for dinner tonight bitch. And it's in all caps. thi. to the. thi. thin' thin. thin. thin. thin. thin. thin. thin. thin. thin. thin. thi. thi. thi. to thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. th. th. th. th. thi's thi. thi's th. th. th. th.

Wait, what's the smosh way that it would have been done? You'd be like, bitch? Uh, you have to have that bitch? What's for

Starting point is 00:34:29 dinner tonight? BITCH? You're that. Yeah. Yeah. It's, that's too, that's getting to like, with like, with like a lot of emphasis on the last word. tooge. the thi. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to have to have to have to to that. to have to rough day with work and I have some awfully bad associations with that word being used by other people in my life who were pretty abusive. So I was so irritated that I dropped the pot of pasta sauce I'd been carrying right on the ground and was like, well, nothing's for dinner tonight now and I better not hear you using that word again. It's for the girls. He was freaking out about how sauce had landed on his rug and he even said, you're seriously acting like a bitch right now. I don't know what else to call it. Whoa, okay. There's some other shit going on. Wrong bitch. I just walked out and got takeout for myself and went to my friend's house. She thought it was funny but my boyfriend was furious.

Starting point is 00:35:22 He kept texting and calling and sending me voice memos trying to explain that saying, what's for dinner to dinner to dinner to dinner to dinner to dinner to dinner to dinner to dinner's their.. the dinner the dinner the dinner the dinner the dinner th for the dinner th for th for their thi their thi thi thi thi thi s s s s s sasse sass.

I thought that was the shittiest excuse ever. It doesn't matter if he saw it as a joke or stole the joke. But it didn't thn't thn't thn't thin thin thin thin thin thin thin thi thin thin' thi thi that he that he thi thi that he thin' thin' that he thin' that he the the the the thin' thi to to to to to to to to to to to to to told, told told told told told told told told told told told told told to told to to toe to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to tod, I, I, I was today, I was today, today, today, today, today, today, today, today, today, today, today, t the fact that he thought that shit was funny. To demean me when I was trying to do him a favor. Like hell, I came over when he was studying to make a home-cooked dinner, and he decides it's time for jokes. So I put my phone on don't disturb for the night and split a bottle of wine with my friend and her roommate.

Starting point is 00:35:57 The next morning he was sending me angry to the to do it. I was shocked he left it overnight. That's disgusting. The mess I made. Yeah I texted him back saying, yeah so that's the bitch tax honey. Leave me alone till you're ready to handle your own cooking and cleaning because this bitch isn't anymore. Also it's vile you left that soaking in all night. He called me and me that he was okay with doing his own household work, but I did throw a full pot of sauce at the ground, so that's on me to clean up. I told him, yeah, no, I'm not comfortable doing chores for you if you see me like your bitch.

Starting point is 00:36:35 He told me he didn't, and it was just a trend, again and I told him, well I'm starting a trend called saucing, whereas a little joke people throw pasta sauce around. You can't be mad because just a little trick joke, a little joke, just a little prank, bro. He got really pissed off and hung up on me, and now I'm seriously wondering if this dumb fucking TikTok is gonna be the end of things between us. Am I the asshole now now now now now now now now now now now now now now now now now now the the the the the the the the reacted when my boyfriend asked me what's for dinner tonight, bitch? Edit to address a comment I've gotten a lot and I don't have time to reply every time. But did you tell him not to call you a

Starting point is 00:37:12 bitch? Like how would he know otherwise? Honestly, if someone has gotten to the age of 30 and not realize that women as a whole do not like having demeaning slurs used against them? They're my help. This isn't something that needs to be told. I shouldn't have to go through life like, hey man, just in case you were thinking I might like demeaning slurs against my gender used on me. I don't actually. And if you're about to comment something like that, let me just tell you have no excuse to not understand.

Starting point is 00:37:50 Yeah. I think it really hits, I mean look it doesn't matter what age he is, but when she's like, yeah, he's 30 years old, I'm like, yeah. A. Tick-talk trend, like, okay. I mean like from looking at this one event in a vacuum it like I'm sure some people could see that be like she overreacted but I guarantee like with the way that he talked in similar ways to her and she's communicated to him that she doesn't appreciate that yeah and he's probably ignored it and goes oh it's a funny tick-talk trend which is like what a bad excuse. It's a bad excuse the adding of the like well now you actually are acting like a bitch yeah okay that sealed it of like you probably do talk disrespectfully to her. Yeah it'd be one thing if they

Starting point is 00:38:38 joked around together and it was like established that they call each other that kind of thing but right I mean clearly it clearly th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th. th. th. the the the the at the at the thi thi theat the at the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the the the the the the the th. th. th. th. th. th th th th th th th th th th th th th th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. the the the theeeeeeeeeeeeat theat that theat that theat theeat theat theeeat theat theeeeeeeeee other that kind of thing, but... Right. I mean, clearly, it completely caught her off guard because this was something that was hard-set and stone for her of like, this is not a line that you cross. So it feels like he should have, I mean, it doesn't say how long they've been together, but it feels like they probably should have, he probably knew. He probably did know. You got to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to te te te te te te te, te, te, te, te, their their their s s s s s s s a the, the, the, the, the, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, the the the the, their the, their the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, thooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo, the gotta test those waters before you bring out the big guns. You know? And that word is one of the big guns. So you gotta make sure, you gotta make sure that your partner's like, chill with, you know, that kind of language. But I agree, like relationships, people in relationships, they gauge like, what are we comfortable

Starting point is 00:39:19 with joking about and stuff. Yeah. And he said a joke that clearly offended her, that he, as we are either assuming or, you know for sure, that it's like, there's clearly been stuff before this and he's not taking her feelings into account. A lot of times people joke and use that kind of word with each other because they know, like it's so established that they would never actually mean that or, you know, it's almost funny because they would never say that th. th. th. th. th. th. their th. So, th. So, th. So, th. So, th. So, their, th. thi, thi, thi, their, thi, their, their, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, th. th. thi, thi, thi, thi, thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. theeeean, thi. thi's, thi. thi. thi's, thi. thi. there's almost funny because they would never say that. Sure. But the fact that he's saying it and she feels like he meant it means that there's other stuff that's there.

Starting point is 00:39:50 There's a lot going on. And what I can't get over is that he did leave the sauce. Yeah. He's like, that's where you to clean up. You did that. Yeah. And the fact that he's he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he's he he's he's he's he's he's he's he's he's. that he's. that he's like. that he's like. that's like. that's like. that's like. that's like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's. He's, he's. He's. He's. He's. He's. He's. He's. He's. He's. He's. He's. He's. He's, he's. He's. He's. He's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, he's. He's. Yeah. Then he's like, the fact that he got that this happened and his response is anger rather than like apologizing and trying to fix things and just getting angry and sending angry text messages, it's like, I think there's a bit of history here. Yeah, I feel like it could have been like immediately. I, you know, I did not know that was going to offend you, and I'm so sorry, let's make this right. But he doubled down and said,

Starting point is 00:40:26 you are acting like a bitch right now. Like, yicky. No, that's where it's, I mean, you lost me before, but like, that's what it's like, all right, buddy, you're gone. Some comments here. the a true, I And usually, they are offended. These jokes aren't funny.

Starting point is 00:40:47 Well, you reacted. He got his wish. Fed around and found out he needs to grow up. So he was also clearly filming her. Yeah. Oh, yeah. She did mention it. He said it was a trend.

Starting point is 00:40:58 He wanted to get her reaction. Yeah. So, well, you got it's that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, th. th. that's, th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. to to to that. that. to to. to. to to to to to to to th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. to. th. to. to. to. to. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. the. the. to to to to to to to to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to to. to. the. the. the. got it, bro. Gringy. Not the asshole, and yes, this should be the end of you, too. He sounds like a total asshole, and leaving that on the floor overnight is just nasty. Last comment here. Not the asshole, your gut response, shock and rage at him, taking you for granted. To the point of demeaning you was the right one from the mess overnight expect you to come back and clean it up just confirms it. He doesn't respect you. Yeah. And she probably felt extra disrespected because she was, she probably didn't want to cook him dinner that night and she was going out of her way for him.

Starting point is 00:41:33 Yeah. He's like, this will be, this is going to give me so much clout. Yeah, it's going, there's a lot of Tick-Tock trends, a lot of them are totally cool and funny. Wait, so you're telling me that there's sexist things on Tick-Tock? Yeah. What? All right, here we go. Uh-huh.

Starting point is 00:41:55 This is from am I the that kids I don't want to say asshole? It's like, Am I the Asshole but with less rules? There's a lot of parameters in Am I the Assuels, the subreddit, like mods have created a lot of rules. So there's a different subreddit called Am I the Devil? So it's going to be good. Okay. All right. Am I the buttface for confronting him on why he never loved me in front of his husband? Okay. Wes and I had been best friends, had been BFs for our entire lives.

Starting point is 00:42:39 I had it so bad for him that when he was 15 and couldn't afford a phone, I saved up money to buy a 1K iPhone for him, but lied and said I had gotten it for free from my parents. When he came out as buy, even my parents fully accepted, we would end up together. I was really in love. I even followed him to the college he picked. I watched him sleep with literally any remotely attractive person and didn't say anything because I wanted him to have fun, but it wasn't easy. But then he got into a bad accident.

Starting point is 00:43:07 After helping him through the recovery, I confessed my feelings for him and it did not go well. It was obvious from his resigned expression he already knew, but he said he didn't feel the same way and he wasn't planning on getting married, that he was just too damaged. I was a mess. The next day I ended up drinking and went over to his place and begged him to love me. He said I was the best person he knew, but he can't lie about how he feels. I asked him to kiss me so I could prove to him. We were meant to be, but he said no. I still begged, saying, please let me love you,

Starting point is 00:43:37 let me show you. He ended up horrible about it the next day. I was prepared to beg his forgiveness, but he told me it was fine that he didn't feel taken advantage of so I could stop beating myself up over it. But he admitted that he didn't want it to happen again, meaning the kiss. I cut him out of my life at a bar. It had been four years. I had a few drinks and I confronted him. Oh boy. I asked to talk privately, but his husband wasn't cool with it.

Starting point is 00:44:11 So I asked in front of his husband and their friends why he lied to me about not wanting to get married. He was clearly embarrassed and taken aback but answered and said, he didn't lie and that things change. I said he needed he needed he needed he needed he needed he needed he needed he needed he needed he needed he needed he needed he needed he needed he he needed he he needed he he needed he he needed he he needed he he needed to to the the told he needed told he needed told he needed told he told he didn't told. He told, he didn't told, he told, he told, he told, told, told, to to to to to to to to to to to to to to told. I. I the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the tod. today. today, today, today, today, today, today, today, today. today. today. today. today. I said he needed to tell me the reason he doesn't want to be with me because I deserved to know. Was it my looks, my personality? Did I say something wrong? But he said no to all of that.

Starting point is 00:44:35 He said I was great, that I did nothing wrong, but he only ever thought of me as a brother that there were no feelings. That really pissed me th it felt like he's lying. The brother's thing sounds like sweet home Alabama shit. I told him he was missing out. I would have loved him forever, but if that's his choice, that's on him. He said neither of us are missing out, that we were meant to be with other people. Before I left, I said he would never get how badly he hurt me. He was apologizing a lot and said he hopes I find happiness, but I walked away. His husband, by the way, was being really hostile to the whole conversation

Starting point is 00:45:07 and kept telling me to move on and saying, he doesn't want you, he seems like an ass. Am I the butt face? Am I the butt face for confronting them? Uh, Holy. Oh, fuck. Wow, the entitlement is out of control. It's so personal.

Starting point is 00:45:26 And this is from their perspective. I think this person probably is even more intense. Yeah. Because hearing that he was apologizing a lot means that it's like, he's like scared. He's like, oh, I'm sorry. I'm so sorry. Like, he just wants this person to get away. that's scary. That's scary. That's like, that's like, that's scary. You're gonna let me love you and you're gonna like it. The kissing thing.

Starting point is 00:45:49 Yeah, that's really, that's really uncomfie. Yeah, let me kiss you. You're gonna see how much you're missing out on. God. There's some serious like entitlement. I'd say butt face. Definitely a, yeah, that's illegal. Some comments here. Ah, unrequited obsession. I see a large therapy bill in this person's future. Either that or prison time from stalking. Someone else says,

Starting point is 00:46:17 That was a big, a big asshole move on your part. I promise you that every single person who was forced to listen to you pitch this little hissy was absolutely dying tha tha tha tha tha tha tha tha tha tha tha tha is forced to listen to you pitch this little hissy Was absolutely dying of embarrassment for you you need therapy and you need it badly This is with Wes is borderline stalker BS and you come off sounding one thousand percent unhinged the man has spent half his life trying to keep you at arms length while also try not to hurt your feelings leave him alone. Yeah, I wonder how did he end up in a bar? How did they the the the the the they they they they they they they they they they th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th. the th. th. the th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. I th. I th. th. the. the. to to the to to theeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee. the. the. the. to hurt your feelings. Leave him alone. Yeah, I wonder how did he end up in a bar? How did they end up in the same bar four years later? Right, it's very coincidental

Starting point is 00:46:52 and they just brush over those details. You could almost assume based on the other behavior that it was purposeful. I think there's a lot going on here. Yeah, and based on the ages, they've held this flame for like minimum 10 years. Yeah. Yeah. And this is a life law. And it sounds like the husband knows who this guy is. Yeah, there's been discussions. There's been lots of discussions. Based off the way the husband was responding, it's like, oh, this guy knows this history, which makes me think, this guy's been a little, stocky stalker. Huge issues. And everything, and everything, and everything, and everything, and everything, and everything, and everything, and everything, and everything, and everything, and everything, and everything, and everything, and everything, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, th. th. th. this this this this this this this this this this this this this this this this this this this this this this this this this this this th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. this is this is this is this is this is this is think, this guy's been a little stalky stalker. Huge issues, and everything was like a personal reflection of, what does it mean about me?

Starting point is 00:47:29 Why don't you love me? Is it my looks? Is it my personality? What is it? And they couldn't just accept that it just wasn't there. It's like, they've been married for four years. Yeah. It's done. It's done. It's done. It's done. It's done. It's done. It's done. It's done. It's done. It's done. It's done. It's done. It's done.

It's thi. thi. th. the. thi. the. th. the. thi. th. th. there's one Soulmate in the entire universe for them and that they found them and that's where the stalker obsession Yeah, like starts when in reality obviously there are millions of people that you can and also like to think that you have to qualify for somebody. Yeah, that you have that if you hit if you check off all the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the their.. their. their. their. their. their. the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the to. tol. to. the the the to. the the the the the their. the their. the the their. the the the the the the the all the boxes, which is why there's like, why there's like a lot of like the in-sell communities, like, I don't get it, like I worked out, like I'm like ripped and blah blah blah

Starting point is 00:48:12 and like this person's six feet. Yeah, I checked all the boxes. And it's like it's not about checking off the, like, it's, you don't, yeah, you're not trying to like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, to like, the.... the. the. to. th. to. to. th. th. th. th. to, the. the. the. the. the. the. the. Like, you're never going to, if somebody's not into you, you getting a six-pack isn't going to change that. Yeah, I think another thing too is people who felt a certain way about someone and then they don't see them for years and think like, oh, they're going to be the same exact person. That's like, oh, we can pick this back up again. Like, maybe'll work now it's like if it's been four years or more that's a different person yeah that's a whole new person but most likely it's and if they're married and stuff and like they couldn't accept that they're like no

Starting point is 00:48:54 you've been saying like you said you would never get married so so many years ago yeah yeah yeah tha tha to the tha tha the the the the the the the the the the the thi thi the thi thi thi thi thi that that thi thi the the the the the the the the the that thi that's that the the the that that the the that's th the that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's thi thi thi thi thi they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the true. That was true then. Which can be true. But I'm a different person now. Yeah. Feel so bad for that person that has to deal with. I hope after this was posted that the original poster got the hint and stopped contacting them, but probably not. Probably not. All right, here we go. my sisters and their husbands to see Garth Brooks when my friends didn't pay. I was lucky enough to snag six tickets to see Garth Brooks in Vegas.

Starting point is 00:49:28 My friends and I had made plans to go as three couples, but I can't really afford to pay for six tickets. The concert is kind of expensive. I told my friends that I needed the money for the tickets before my credit card was due. They both they promised the the the the the the the thoededededededed, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, th, th, th, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, tho, tho, tho, thi, thi, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, told, told, told, to to to to to to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to to, to to to to to to to, to to to to to, to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to too, the, the, the, the, too, the, the.e.ed, tooo, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, to get it to me. I reminded them a few times and they both forgot. I called my sister and asked if she knew anyone who might like to go. She said that she and my stepsister had been talking about going. We decided to make it a family trip. They paid me immediately, and I transferred the tickets for each of them. Last week, one of my friends saw that I posted on Facebook about going with my sisters. She asked why I was going twice. I told her I wasn't. I needed to pay my credit card bill so I sold four of the tickets. They went ballistic. I do not

Starting point is 00:50:09 have any credit card debt as I pay my bill in full every month. They both assumed I would be okay just paying the minimum monthly payment like they do. They expected me to save them the tickets even though they didn't they both to check their the the. their their their their their their their their the. their the. their the. the. their the. I. I. I. I. I. I was. I was. I was. I was. the. the. thea. thea. the. thea. thea. thea. thea. thea. thea. thea. the. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. the. the. the. the. the.. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. te. te. te. te. te. te. te. te. te. te. te. te. te. te. te. te. te. thea. thea. the te. te. pay me. I told them both to check their texts and see where I had agreed to that. I sent them screenshots of where they both agreed to pay me before my bill was due. They're pissed because all the tickets left are either resale or very expensive floor seats. I am mad at them for trying to screw me with my credit. They are mad at me because they had booked concert. Am I the asshole? Well, first off, you never pay just your minimum on your credit cards. No, no. Always try to pay the balance.

Starting point is 00:50:51 You're like, future me will worry about that problem. Yeah, get that shit taken care of. This one is a little bit gray though, because I feel like there could have been, not an ultimatum. But thiolome, thi made them but like this is your last chance. Yeah. It's not happening today, it's not happening at all. It doesn't sound like that was necessarily given. Well, she does say she sent screenshots of when they agreed to pay before the bill. I think she sent reminders. I told my friends that I needed the money for the tickets before my credit card

Starting point is 00:51:18 was due. They both forgot. OK. So I do think there was multiple times here. The verdict is not the asshole. I don't think they're necessarily an asshole for all of this. I guess what we're saying is it could have been like, this is the last chance I'm about to sell them to my sisters. Yeah. To'n'n'n'n' their their I I I I to sell them, I'm going to sell them to my assistants. Tonight, if you don't pay them right now.

Starting point is 00:51:45 I think that's the only thing that was missing, but even without it, I don't think it's necessarily asshole behavior when it's already been discussed so thorough. If you gave him a few times. Yeah, if I was that friend, like, I would be like, I would be like, I would be like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, I, I, I, I, I, th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th., oh I fucked up. Yeah. Like that was on me. Like if you reminded me multiple times and I just completely ignored it, then yeah, I mean it's my fault. Yeah, for sure. Yeah. The comments here. Not the asshole at all. You gave them plenty of warnings in writing.

Starting point is 00:52:19 There's really not much more you could have done. You are super responsible in making sure you pay off your balance every month. Way to go. But I will add one thing. Even if you just pay the minimum required on your credit, that won't screw with your credit. All it will do is charge you interest for the month. Whereas when you pay the balance in full, there's no interest at it. Just an added F-Iy. Well, yeah, the fucking fucking fucking fucking fucking fucking fucking fucking fucking fucking fucking fucking fucking fucking fucking fucking fucking fucking fucking fucking fucking fucking fucking f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f-fu f the f the fucking f-f, the fucking f-f, the fucking f the f-f, the f-inui. the f-inema the minimum the minimum the minimum the minimum the minimum the minimum the minimum the minimum the minimum the minimum the the the f the f the the f the f the f the f the f the f the f the f the f the f the f the f the f the f the f the f the f the f the f the f the f the f the f the f the f the f the f the f the f the f-inui-inui-mi-mi-mi-mi-mi-mi-e, tri-mi-mi-mi-e, tri-minin-mi-mi-a-mi-a-minui-a-mi-a-mi- insane. Like if you only pay your minimum, I mean even if you have a small amount in your bank account and you're only paying the minimum every month, you won't wind up paying off your credit card for like 10 years. O.P. responds to that

Starting point is 00:52:52 saying thanks, I get that. But I've seen too many of my friends and coworkers fall into a pit with credit card debt. I'm not interested in that slippery slope. Someone else said not the asshole the tickets were never theirs because they never bothered to pay you for them or ask if you could make other arrangements which would only be acceptable if it was okay with you. If they can't remember to pay you before the concert what kind of odds would you have given that they would remember to pay you back after the concert. Some of these judgments are really easy. Not the they don't pay they don't go their their their their their their their their their. their. their. their. to be to be their. to to their. to their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. to be. I I. to be. their. their. to be. to be. to be. to be. to be. to be. to be. to be. to be. to be. to be. I. to be. to be. to be. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. So. I. So. So. So. So. So. So. So. So. So. So. So. So. So. So. I. So. So. I. they. they. they. they. they. they. They don't pay, they don't go. No excuse here. They had multiple reminders and opportunities.

Starting point is 00:53:27 Maybe they'll learn to keep their promises, but it doesn't look promising if they're angry at you and not the the their own inactions. Yeah, I mean, I think ultimately it's just, that is the cut and dry factor of it. Look, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, that, th, they're, they'll, they'll, they're, they're, they're, they're, they'll, they'll, they'll, they'll, they'll, they'll, they'll, they'll, they'll, they'll, they'll, they'll, they'll, they'll, they'll, they'll, they'll, they'll, they'll, they'll, they'll, they'll, they'll, they'll, they'll, they'll, they'll, they'll, they'll, they'll, they'll, they're, they're, the, they. they. they're, they. they're, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're the asshole. They are, they are not the asshole. But yeah, if it was my situation, I think I would have day of, if I'm about to like sell them. Yeah.

Starting point is 00:53:49 I would have been like, here's what's about to happen. I'm communicating what's about to happen. I've reminded you several times. I'm about to do the switchover. But yeah, not the asshole at all. Yeah, pay off your balance. Yeah, I agree. And I'm so surprised that there's that many people that want to go see Garth Brooks.

Starting point is 00:54:14 That's impossible. People love Garth Brooks, man. People love Garth Brooks. Yeah. There's been several concert related stories. There was one we read where a woman missed her brother-in-law's-in-in-in-in-in-in-in-in-in-in-in-in-in-in-in-in-in-in-in-in-in-in-in-in-in-in-in-in-in-in-in-in-in-in-in-in-in-in-in-in-in-in-in-in-in-in-up-up-a-a-la-lif-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-wa-wa-loooo-la-wa-wa-wa-wa-wa-wa-wa-wa-wa-wa-wa-a-a-a-a- missed her brother-in-law's funeral for Taylor Swift. Yeah, but they're not blood related. I got shit for that one because I said our song is the only good Taylor Swift song. That's a joke. Yeah.

Starting point is 00:54:40 She has other good songs, guys. Name one. This is my apology video. Okay, wait, name one. Oh, mean, mean, I that one. Mean, I that that's that's that's that's that's that's that's th. th, th, th, th, a th, a th, a th, a th, a th, a th, a woman, a woman, a woman, a woman, a woman, a woman, a woman, a woman, a woman, a woman, a woman, a woman, a woman other good songs, guys.

I like a lot of, look, I like a lot of her older stuff, but I also like, what's the one, 8, 1980, what's the one with Shake It Off. That album. That album. That's an old. That's. That's. That's.

Starting point is 00:55:05 Is it the spiciest? I don't know. It's something. It's something. R. True off my chest. I don't think my boss knows that I know there's a camera in my office. Oh my God. Oh my God.

Starting point is 00:55:20 Holy shit. Um. Wow. Wait, was this posted from Smosh? Was this posted from a Smosh employee? Luckily... Who has a nice here? We don't have a fun, do they find out?

Starting point is 00:55:33 I will say, I do want a little, fun little, oh, this happened, you know, recently. Oh, yeah? Over the course of a month, I slowly hid fake bananas in Ian's office. Yeah. I would tap them, them them them them them them them them them th th th th th th th th th th th th th th them them them them theme tham the the the the the thoes thoes thoes thoes thoes thoes thoes. tooes. too. too. too. too. too. too. too. too. too. toe. toe. toe. toe. toe. toe. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. tho. thooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo office. Yeah. I would tape them underneath things. I would hide them, stash them in his couch. There was close to about 30 bananas in his office. And they were in there for days and he had no idea. That's actually why I wanted to buy Smash again, is because I wanted to own those bananas.

Starting point is 00:55:59 Yeah, yeah, specifically just the bananas. Well, they're back in my office again. Oh, good, good. I'm glad we own 30. Fake bananas. They're very, okay, they're fake. They're like styrofoam. You know, the ones that are like in like, they'll last forever. They'll last forever. They'll be good for ever. Yeah.

Starting point is 00:56:14 And they're an investment. I started at this new job not long ago, and since the first day, I've known there was a camera in my office. I don't think it's necessarily weird to have cameras in an office setting. There's cameras in all sorts of places for all kinds of reasons, but the camera in my office isn't any sort of built-in fixture, and my individual office room is the only office with the camera in it. On my first day of the job, I realized my boss was too aware of my actions. He said something to me that threw me off, and I knew he wouldn't have brought it up unless he had been watching me do something. It was just too coincidental. But it was casual at the same time, so it wasn't a direct allusion to the camera he

Starting point is 00:56:57 has. But immediately after the incident, I scanned around the room, and I found a camera nestled into into into into into into into into into a ca the the the camera, the camera, the camera, th. th. the th. the the th. the th. thuse?? I was, I was, I was a the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I, I was, I, I was, I. And, I. And, I. And, I, I was, I. And, I was. And, I was. the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the th the th the. thean. the th the th the t t t t t t t t t t t t t t to te. th th th the the the the the I scanned around the room, and I found a camera nestled into a cubby with a small wire that led into his adjacent office. Bro. My other boss has also indirectly responded to my actions in the group chat. The few times I had spent an excessive amount of time on my phone were times that the, hey guys, let me know if you guys need anything to work on. I know things are slow, messages would trickle in. Anything that seemed to hint at me being watched was also said or done ambiguously enough,

Starting point is 00:57:28 but they weren't revealing anything about being able to see me, as if I'm not supposed to know I'm being watched, and that's what is unsettling to me. The camera is pointed directly at me, not the door, not the front of my desk, not anywhere else that would make sense for security. I I looked at everyone else's office and didn't see a single camera. The camera has pointed specifically at me, and I don't even deal with money or anything that could be stolen. I don't know if I should bring this up. I'm not entirely mad, and I guess I understand the reasoning, like making sure I'm on tasked or some task, throwne, to be, their, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, the thi, the the throwne, the throwne, the throwne, throwne, the thrown, throwne, the throwne, their, and I'm a thi, the their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, the their, the their, the their, their, their, their, thi, thi, thi, and throwne, throwne, and throwne, throwne, and throwne, and throwne, throwne, throwne, throwne, throwne, throwne, throwne, throwne, throwne, throwne, and throwne, and throwne, and thrown watched whenever and they never even disclosed that. I feel like someone being constantly monitored has the right to

Starting point is 00:58:08 know what that know that they are especially since I'm the only one being watched like this. I at least used it to my advantage because I at least know not to be on my phone, L-O-L. So in the comments we can glean that she states that she is a 22 year old woman if we feel that's important. Yeah I was I was a little curious about if it was a woman. Yeah. I have a favorite part about all this. Yeah. Just how much time are these people spending watching her do nothing and complaining about her doing nothing? It's that's management baby. E. That's what being a manager is all about.

Starting point is 00:58:48 You just watch other people work. Or not work. I am kind of surprised at her reaction. Yeah, I mean like, I'm actually like, I'm actually kind of chill. I would just be like, turn the camera away. I would turn the camera away and then see if it gets moved back, see if anyone says anything, and be like, hey, you didn't disclose that, that is illegal. If I moved it and I saw it get moved back, I would then go to HR.

Starting point is 00:59:18 Like, hey, there's a camera in my office. I moved it away. It keeps getting moved back. That's illegal. It is illegal. I wonder, I wonder, I w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w. I w. I w. I w. th. th. th. th, I would would would would would would would would th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. I would would thi. thi. th. I would would would would th. I would would th, I would th, I would th, I would th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. I would th. I would thi. I would thee. theee. theee. I would theeeeeeeeee. I would theeeeee. I would the. I would the. the. the. moved back. This, that's illegal. It is illegal. I wonder, I wonder if like, I wonder if it's like a trial that they run on like new employees. It should still be disclosed. But I still, but I, yeah, yeah, I, I agree. Either way, it's gross. And I think a lot of companies nowadays are obsessed with productivity and efficiency and especially in the time of like remote work I've heard of like companies like installing software on computers that will like track the person's productivity which is crazy because like I think

Starting point is 01:00:03 humans have always been as productive as ever. But now, that, that, that, and the te. thi, and they, and they, and they, and the, and thi, and the, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, the, like, the, the, like, like I think humans have always been as productive as ever but now we have technology to hold people to account so it's like even like back in the day you know like maybe in the 50s when when corporate office jobs were just starting I'm sure people weren't working you know non-stop from sitting down in their chair to leaving home. Right. And now there's this expectation of like, that's what it needs to be, and you have to always

Starting point is 01:00:32 be working. And now we have technology to hold you to that account. It's like, it's scary. It's weird. I also think creating a environment of distrust is not going to create trust. a environment of distrust is not going to create trust. Exactly. Employees and everything. And I think the best way for people to feel motivated to work is when they feel trusted,

Starting point is 01:00:50 when they feel respected, when they feel like they can work at a pace that works for them as long as I get the work done, you know, that kind of thing. But to say you need to always be working 100 percent of the time and I, and I, and I, and I, and I, and I, and I, and I, and I, and I, and I, and I, and I, th an thi, thi, thi, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is to to to to to thi, is, is thi, is thi, is thi, is thi, is thi, is thi, is thi, is thi, is thi, is thi, is thi, is thi, is thi, is thi, is thi, is thi, is thi, is thi, is thi, is thi, is thi, is their, is thi, is their, is thi, is their, is their, is their, is thi, is thi, is thi. And, is to thi. And, to to to to thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi,'m gonna watch you to make sure. It's weird, and I also feel like how you monitor production is just like, hey, do your job? You did it. Yeah. I don't care. Then you did it, how you did it? Like you can see what you did it, like, we can see what needs to be done.

Starting point is 01:01:12 And if you're the job is to be the one to like make sure that somebody else else else that somebody else that somebody else else else else else else else else else else that somebody else else else else else else else else else else else else else sitting there just watching something else. Yeah, they're justifying their job by saying I'm monitoring the people. And this is us having the the best assumption of why they have. We're being very charitable here. We're being extremely charitable here. Yeah. I mean, yeah, we haven't even like brushed the, you know, the fact that she's like a 22-year-old woman. And it could be just a completely creepy, yeah. And it's their. And it's their. And it's. And it's. And it's. And it's. their. their. their. their, their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their the best. the best the best the best the best. the best. the best. the best. the best. the best. the best. the best. the best. the best. the best. the best. the best. the best. the best. the best. the best. the best. the best. the best. the best. the best. the best. the best. the best. the best. the the the the the best. the the best. the. thea. thea. thea. the. the. the best. the best. the best. the best the best. the best. the best. the best. the best. tough thing legally also is that we're in California, the laws are a certain way here. The laws are different per state, different per country. So I know audio, you can't, it's two-party consent. So they probably can't record the audio. This is similar laws to us here in California.

Starting point is 01:01:59 But video, I guess, might be legal. I don't know, but if that needs to be disclosed or not, to be, to be, to be, to be, to be, to be, to be, to be, to be, to be, to be, to be, to be, to be, to be, to be, to be, to be, to be, to be, to be, to be, to be, to be, too, too, too, too, too, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, the too, the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the, the the, the, the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the too, ise.s. too, isa, isa, isa, isa, isa, isa, too, isa, too, isa, tothat needs to be disclosed or not is the question. It still provides so much or it still brings so much distrust. Oh my God it's still stupid as hell. Yeah. I'm just I'm just like it's just so disappointing like hearing how okay with it this person is and I think that kind of gives you an idea of like where we are. Yeah. Like, you know, it's fine. I know. I feel like if workers, if people just drew a hard line about that, I'm just like, no, never going to work in a situation like that. But I also know people, like they get a job, they're like, I need this job.

Starting point is 01:02:35 Sure. But, yeah. So, uh, I have some comments here. Anytime you are finished with a task and waiting for another one, spend excessive amounts of time staring into the camera. Someone else said, yes, yes, and don't blink at all. Just stare vacantly, directly into the camera. Someone else said, is this your office? Place a nice plant slash object in the way of the camera to decorate. If the decoration is moved, ask why? Someone else said, put a hardcover copy of 1984.

Starting point is 01:03:06 No, you know what would be epic is if you took a picture of yourself from the vantage point, printed it out and then put it in front of the video. Oh, that's a super smart move. Or you get a looping video? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. You're going to say to put a copy of a goatsy in front of it, th, th, th, th, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, th, and, th, and, th, th, th, th, th, and, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th.. That, th. That, that's, that's, that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's thi. tho were going to say to put a copy of Goatsy in front of it. And then put Goatsy in front of it and then wait and all of a sudden you hear from the next

Starting point is 01:03:29 offer you just go. Oh, oh, oh. And they can't complain or else they have to admit it, right? He walks over, vomit on his chest. He's like you seem pretty busy spreading your hassle. Sorry, sorry. Sorry. th. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh.

Oh God, I wonder what's going to happen. I wasn't expecting so many responses.

Starting point is 01:03:54 I genuinely appreciate how concerned everyone is about whether or not I'm okay. It makes me feel good knowing a lot of people care about a stranger's well-being. I've seen a lot of comments asking for an update, so this is really the most I have of one. Nothing has changed yet. I haven't brought it up to them because part of me is wondering if they'll eventually remove it. I was curious to see if they would ever bring it up themselves or if I could find a way to hint at the fact that I know. I sort of want them to stay unaware throwne th, th, th, their their, their, their, their, their, so, their, their, their, their, their, their, thi, thr, thr, thr, thr, thr, thr, thr, thr, thrown, thr, thrown, thi, thi, thi, their, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, th, their, th, their, th, their, th, th, their, their, their, their, their, their, thi, their, thi, thi, thr, thr, thr, thr, thr, thr, thr. thr. thr-a, tooooooooooooooooooooooooooo. thr-s, thr-s, thr-s, thr- actions, to potentially call it out in the future. The top comment is pretty funny about staring into the camera. There were a few times where something ridiculous would happen with something and I'd stare into the camera for a moment as if I was breaking the fourth wall.

Starting point is 01:04:32 LAA. Like, what did it the tape? Like, Jim from the office? I don't think this is as much of a sexual, I'm, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, and I'm, and I'm, and I'm, and I'm, and I'm, and I'm, and I'm, and I'd, and I'd, and I'd, and I, and I, and I, and I, and I, and I, and I, and I, and I, and I, and I, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, I th... th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi. th. thi. th. thi. I get along with my co-workers and they pay me decently for what I do. For everyone asking, yes, I'm a woman. I don't think this is as much of a sexual harassment case as it is just a micromanaging thing. They haven't done or said anything to me to make me feel like they were hitting on me, just genuine politeness. My guess for the camera is that they're maybe te-a thing my thing my thing my thing my thing, thing, thing, thing, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, thi, is thi, I thi, is thi, I'm a thi, I thi, I'm thi, I thi, I thi, I thi, I thi, I thi, I thi, I thi, I thi, I thi, I this is thi, I thi, I thi, I thi, I thi, I thi, I thi, I thi, I thi, I thi, I thi, I thi, I thi, I thi, I thin, I thin, I thin, I thin, I'm thin, I'm thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thi. the. thi. thi, I thi, I thi, I seeing how much time I spend on my phone even out of view of other people, which I could understand, but while I wish there was another way besides a camera on me, there's been a few other micromangy things that have irked me a little, but I still like my bosses in spite of that.

Starting point is 01:05:17 If something changes, like if I start getting the vibe that this is becoming creepy, I'll keep you guys updated. Oh, and also a few few thi tho tho tho thi thi thu thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi, thi, thi, I thi, I thi, I'll thi, I'll thi, I'll thi, I'll thi, I'll thi, I'll thi, I'll thi, I'll thi, I'll thi, I'll thi, I'll thi, I'll thi, I thi, I thi, I thi, I thi, I thi, I th, I th, I th, I th, I th. th, I th. thi, I th. thi, I thi, I thi, I thi, I'll te, I'll te, I'll te, I'm te, I'm teee, I'm teat, teat, teat, teat, teat, teat, teeat, teeat, teeeeeeee, te, te, is becoming creepy. I'll keep you guys updated. Oh, and also a few things I wanted to mention that a lot of people had ideas about. You guys had good ideas, by the way. Due to where it's at, it would be really hard to cover the camera with anything. I can't exactly reach it. So I'd have to find something like maybe a wide shelf that would block a pick of it from inside his office. So I don't know if I'm able to evidence collect too easily. I'm also trying to be a bit vague with details because I got a little paranoid about the

Starting point is 01:05:50 idea of my boss is somehow coming across this thread. Anyways, I appreciate you guys and I'm sorry I don't have more thrilling update. I'll let you know if anything changes. This camera must th must th is th is th is th, th is th is th, if it th, if it th, if it th, if it th, if it's th, if it's th, if it's th, if it's th, if it's thiui, if it's thi, if it's thiol, if it's thi, thi, if it's thi, if it's thi, if it's to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thei. theananannea'a'a'a'a'eananneui. thri. thri. to be to, I feel like. And high up. It must be, if it's really out in the open and just there, then it's like, okay, they're not trying to hide it. It's so weird to not say anything about it. It's so weird. It sounds like at this point she's just curious to know what happens.

Starting point is 01:06:19 She's so chill. She's so chill. to go chill, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, thi. thi. thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi's thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi. thi. thi. thi, thi, thi, thi, thi. thi, thi, thi. thi, th. th. th. th. th. th, th, th, th, th, th. th. th. th. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii's thii. thi's thi. thi's thi. thi. She's like, time to go and see that camera. They're watching my every move. Yeah. Anyways. Anyway. Boop, boo. Boop. She kind of gives some details in the comments of what the camera looks like. It's like rectangular, sort of longer vertically than it is horizontally.

Starting point is 01:06:36 The lens doesn't poke outward. It's flush with the rest of the body. So from first glance, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the, the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the th, th, the th, the thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, the theats, theats, thea. tea. tea. tea. tea. th theats. thea, thea, to I can't reach high enough to put something to cover it, and it's an abnormal place to decorate, so it'd be obvious I was trying to cover it. It seems crazy to me to even try to cover it. Like, yeah. Like, if, if the job, if she likes the job and the people are reasonable, I think it's okay to just ask. Like, like, like, like, just, like, just, like, to to to to to to to to to to to to to to thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, to to to be, to be, to be, to be, to be, to be to be, to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be, to be, to be, to be, to be, to be, to be, to be, to be, to be, to be to be, to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be a too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, tooome, tooome, tooomorrow, too, too, too, too, too, too and the people are reasonable, I think it's okay to just ask. Like what is that camera doing there?

Starting point is 01:07:07 She couldn't even play dumb if she's like not sure it's a camera, if it's like, oh, it looks like a speaker, just be like, I was just so curious, what is that? the thauill. Yeah. And then be like, then be like, is that a camera in my office? I don't, I feel like I would just ask right away. I would feel so, I wouldn't, I wouldn't feel, I'd be so out of my element if I knew that there was a camera on me.

Starting point is 01:07:35 Yeah. We don't know her work experience. This could be new for her, and she could be like, oh, this is normal for corporate America. She might lose her job if she asks to. Yeah, that's true. It can be intimidating. So I don't know, but hopefully she eventually asks. I hope so. I hope for my benefit. I know.

Starting point is 01:07:53 I want to know. I want to know. But anyways, that was it. Thank you guys. All right. Thank you. Yeah, man, this is so cool. I'm a little scarred from a few of those stories. Yeah. No, that happens every time. That happens every time.

Starting point is 01:08:08 Yeah. But Ian, glad to have you back. And Anthony, glad to have you back. Let's go. Yeah, let's go. Yeah. Yeah. So if y'all haven't heard the spiel before. Anthony and I are writing in and starring and creating sketch comedy

Starting point is 01:08:28 on the main Smosh channel now. So it's back to Ian and Anthony's sketches. It's a good time. We understand making sketch comedy on YouTube. Being ad supported doesn't actually, doesn't actually work on YouTube. It's why there's so much less sketch comedy on there than there used to be. Because YouTube rewards watchtime and you know how many ads you could place in a video. Yes. And when we decided to come back making sketches because we really feel like that's, you know, that was a foundation that we created those 17 and a half years ago.

Starting point is 01:09:05 That we couldn't just do it with ads. Yeah, so we have, we now have memberships on the main channel. So there's a couple different tiers. If your support obviously means a lot to us, you'll have some bonus content for members. We're gonna do like these live stream stream like watch parties for each new upload. So yeah, become a member, come hang out with us on our streams. Watch, watch the sketches, they're very silly.
