Welcome to Reddit Stories.
I'm Shane, and today's theme is all about revenge.
And I'm joined by two people
who I plan on getting revenge on.
Wait, Chance and Courtney.
What?
Revenge?
What did I do?
What did I do?
Welcome to Reddit Stories. I'm gonna get revenge. Vance and Courtney. Revenge? What did I do? What did I do?
Welcome to Reddit Stories.
I'm gonna get revenge.
Okay, well there's now why I need to get revenge,
because you just did that.
Welcome to Reddit Stories.
Okay, you guys are giving me the reasons.
Welcome to Reddit Stories.
My name is Shayne Tapp.
I took it too far.
It's okay.
I do sound like that.
It's time for some revenge.
How do we feel about revenge in general?
Like, I think it's very entertaining
to listen to stories of revenge.
I do not like revenge.
I'm not someone who seeks revenge.
Yeah, I don't participate in it, but we'll watch.
Yeah, it's an entertaining trope.
Here's what I like is karmic justice.
That's what it is.
I like when you're not putting the intention
into the revenge, the revenge just kind of happens.
Well, and there's a lot of times though
where I think people go, oh, that was karma.
And I was like, no, that's just the natural
progression of events
from making a bad choice to that, but I agree.
It's the whole rotting fruit will fall on its own.
Wow. Wow.
I've never heard that.
It's a long game.
Revenge is doing your best,
and if somebody else that hurt you falls,
I think that's a take I have on revenge,
which is, especially if someone wrongs you
and you spend a lot of energy and effort
in getting revenge on them,
I'm like, all I think it signals
is that you are still hyper-focused on them.
On someone who doesn't care about you
and is disrespectful, I'm like,
the best thing you can do is just focus on yourself.
Yeah.
But we'll see.
We shall see.
Maybe we will change our minds today.
We'll see.
Oh yeah, let's see.
All right, our first story comes from Petty Revenge.
Cab driver rips me to shreds,
thinking I can't understand him, but I can.
Oh, see. Classic.
Classic. Obligatory, this happened several years ago. A few months after I moved. Classic, classic.
Obligatory, this happened several years ago.
A few months after I moved to Chicago,
I had moved there from Romania,
where I had been living and going to school.
Love Romania, people are great,
drop what you're doing and visit.
Anyway, while I was there, due to my living situation,
I had to learn the language fast and thoroughly.
Not many people around me spoke English,
outside of the uni I was at.
So fast forward to the few months
after I arrived in Chicago.
Imagine my surprise when the driver of the Uber
I had ordered appeared to have a Romanian name.
The area had a lot of Eastern Europeans
so I guess it shouldn't have been so surprising.
I was really excited to talk to him
and make sure I wasn't getting rusty.
Maybe make a friend.
Up pulls the guy, I get in, he greets me,
but he appears to be on the phone
with a buddy slash family member, so I just sit quietly in the guy I get in he greets me But he appears to be on the phone with a buddy slash family member
So I just sit quietly in the back listening in a bit the person on the other end asked if the driver is getting off
Work soon. He responded with something like the following no, I still have a few hours left. Then I'll go home right now
I have someone in the car. God. I hate this country
The women here are so fat and ugly at least this one has a nice chest
But why can't she lose some weight?
And he goes on and on about all the problems with me
and other American women.
Now, I've always been a bit on the chonky side,
and you best believe the Romanians love to comment on it,
so I was used to it.
But I was a bit shocked
that this guy was going off like that.
Anyway, I'm just kind of sitting bemused in the back seat
as we near my destination.
Then I tell him, in Romanian,
with all my might trying
to pull off the distinct accent of the region
I'd been living in, can you just pull over there
on the right?
I swear this guy's head did the exorcist girl's head.
And he turned a shade of red I have seen
nowhere else in nature.
He didn't say anything, just pulled over.
When I got out, I said thanks and added,
you're not attractive and you're also fat,
so maybe you shouldn't make comments like that.
I have never again reached such levels of self-pride.
That, I changed my mind about revenge.
That's not even revenge.
I was gonna say, that's not revenge.
That's the situation that he put himself in.
She informed him of the reality's the situation that yeah put himself in yes. She
Informed him of the reality of the city. Yes. Yeah. Love that. She was in full Yeah, she was right all the way that's retaliation
Yeah, it's it's such a power that people who speak multiple languages have as you probably end up hearing people talk shit
When they don't know
Yeah one time so I know a little bit of Spanish.
One time my family was doing a trip to Florida
and we got in an elevator and I heard this group of people
call my family ugly in Spanish.
But I was like 13 so I didn't say anything.
And they also said it in English.
They really wanted us to know.
Ugly bitches.
Have you seen those headphones that they have now? That automatically translate?
I wanna try them.
Challenge Pit, we tried the headphones.
The head, that's the whole title.
Challenge Pit, we tried the headphones.
We tried the headphones.
I'm just someone who assumes a lot of things about people.
I assume people understand.
I would, if I was in another country,
or when I've been in other countries,
I'm not talking trash,
because I'm like any, to be fair also with English,
like it's just such a widely spoken language.
I assume people know it a lot of times.
You assume everyone knows English.
I'm not offended.
You heard it here,
Shayne Topp assumes everyone knows English. Wow, you heard it here. Shayne Topp assumes everyone knows English.
Just kidding.
To be fair, there's a lot of countries that like,
they will require like 12 years of a language
to graduate school, including like English.
Like when I was in Japan, it's just like,
oh, a lot of people just spoke English.
Like more than you realize do.
So this guy being Romanian probably just thought,
what are the chances? Nobody knows Romanian, yeah. So this guy being Romanian probably just thought what are the chances.
No, he knows Romanian, yeah.
There she was.
Comments, I live for this brand of revenge.
People shouldn't assume they're safe to talk shit
just because it's not in English.
Or people should just not talk shit.
Don't talk shit.
Don't talk shit.
What?
Don't talk shit, man.
Also, it's not even petty revenge.
This isn't even petty revenge.
Nothing petty about what happened. Nothing.
I don't think it's revenge of any sort, I think.
No.
Yeah.
Someone else said, this hits home for me.
I'm a middle-aged white American
who looks very much like my Irish ancestors,
but I'm also fluent in Spanish and Haitian Creole.
I'm a social worker, so I interview families
nearly every day, and one thing I look for
is a form of domestic violence called coercive control.
Sometimes you'll have one partner who is fluent in English and uses that to control the other
partner and when I suspect that, I'll only speak in English and listen to what the couple
says to each other while I look on pretending I don't understand.
Then just a few minutes before I leave, I'll start speaking their language and watch their
faces as they realize I understood them.
This makes future visits much more productive.
Someone said, Ant-in-law worked in a place for years and the Japanese women there talked shit about her
behind her back slash in Japanese for years.
At her retirement, she gave her farewell address
in very fluent Japanese.
One might imagine there was some loss of face
with compound interest.
Yeah, that's awesome.
To let that go on for years, that then goes.
That's revenge.
That goes into revenge.
Just like, okay, you're withholding it
for a long time on purpose, but it's also delicious.
Delicious.
Like the Prestige.
The Prestige.
You guys know that movie with.
Oh, it's so good.
It's Christopher Nolan and Christian Bale.
Christian Bale.
Michael and Amanda.
Christian Nolan?
No.
Referencing a movie and saying the actors in the movie.
Oh, yes.
All right, our next revenge.
This comes from Am I the Asshole.
Am I the asshole for rejecting a girl as revenge?
Oh.
Oh.
Interesting. So to start off maybe, it was a bit petty of. Oh. Oh. Interesting.
So to start off maybe,
it was a bit petty of me to be honest.
Anyway, I asked this girl Clara out on a date
about a year ago.
I was a completely different person then
and she turned me down.
It stung like hell,
but it did encourage me to better myself.
Since then, I've gotten in better shape,
became more confident,
and generally I've had more luck with girls.
I still never forgot what made me improve though and that will always be a shitty memory
Me and a few friends I've made since last year went out to a gathering
I'm still fairly new in their circle and surprise Clara was there
I think she recognized me
But I wasn't sure me and her hit it off and at the end of the night we had a date planned
The date went pretty well and we went on our second one last Friday.
After this I went home and thought about where to go next
and I realized I couldn't really forgive her.
So she hit me up asking if we were going out again
and I sort of made a joke of it,
blew it off and put her on mute.
I haven't responded since then
and our mutual friends say she's been pretty upset
since she gets attached to people quickly
but the revenge I got was so sweet.
But maybe I was an asshole though.
What does Reddit think?
Huh, this is complicated.
Yeah, cause like, I think what he said was right,
it was a shitty memory, not a shitty person.
I don't know if he maybe didn't reference the person,
like maybe she said, no, I don't wanna date you
because you're ugly, ha ha.
It's also like, but he didn't say that.
I think he would say that if she was like,
and that turning you down wouldn't be the shitty thing.
It'd be like, she made this comment.
But he doesn't reference anything.
He just says, yeah, she turned me down and it stung.
Yeah.
He didn't turn down stings,
but that's a situation where you get hurt,
but the person didn't do anything wrong. They didn't turn down stings, but that's a situation where you get hurt, but the person didn't do anything wrong.
They didn't do anything wrong,
and then he goes and improves himself, quote unquote,
like he improves himself is what he said.
And then she's like, well, now I'm interested,
which is a fair thing because he's a different person now.
But also, she might have turned him down
because she didn't know him that well.
I know that here they are talking, they hit it off.
My thought is, okay, you're also like,
who is this revenge on?
Is it on yourself?
You're saying you're hitting it off,
you're on a third date, it's actually going well,
and you're going, eh,
it'll be better to just make you feel bad.
Yeah. Yeah, like,
that's the thing. What if that was the one? Are you gonna still be laughing when you're alone at 40 couldn't get over it
I don't think this counts as this this doesn't count as revenge
No, because she didn't purposefully hurt him, but he's purposefully hurting. Yeah, so actually you're the bad guy here
I think he is the asshole because you're the asshole because you are purposefully making an action
to make someone feel bad.
That is an asshole move.
That's almost all revenge though.
Right, but it's, revenge is, quote unquote.
It's you make me feel bad.
It's quote unquote fine if someone truly
like went out of their way to wrong you.
That's why I also don't think revenge is,
I'm a revenge person.
I'm a person of what will make that person
realize the wrongs of their ways, right?
If you can do something and they go, oh my God,
I now see how I was being shitty, then okay,
but if you're just doing something to hurt someone,
well what's it gonna do?
Like she didn't do anything besides Schadenfreude?
She didn't do anything malicious,
and I like what you said about her probably saying no
just because she didn't know him.
So many times in my life,
it didn't matter how attractive the person was,
I was too nervous, I didn't know them,
so I just said no out of anxiety.
I think it doesn't feel, yeah,
I see what you're saying is it was like his type
of retaliation, like he technically got a revenge body
even though he was never in a relationship with this person.
If he got into better shape and like got more confident
and stuff, yeah, I just like, I just picture him like,
like he's gonna be alone in bed and be like,
ha ha, got her, and then look at the empty other side of his bed
and then turn out the light, like you're alone, good job.
I think it's weird.
I'm just like, okay man, like you went on three dates.
It's also not equivalent.
It's like, if you really wanted action.
But what did he do back?
He just, he just.
He went on, but he went on two dates with her
and then in talking about the third date, he ghosts her.
And I'm like, what you're doing is not equivalent
to what she did.
She turned you down, but you are making,
you're doing this elaborate thing.
And did he even say anything?
I don't think he was doing it on purpose, right?
He says he realized.
He realized he couldn't forgive her,
and he says he made a joke about the date
and then put her on mute
So he didn't even like go. I'm rejecting you because you rejected me years ago. Haha. He didn't do that. It's like so
She's not even privy to does he owe her that
No, he doesn't he didn't have to go out with her. He could decide. Oh, I'm actually but I also think he's an asshole for his
Wording of things. Yeah, forgive her. Yeah, she you don't like she didn't wrong you. Yeah, you'm actually but I also think he's an asshole for his wording of things. Yeah, forgive her. Yeah
She you don't like she didn't wrong you. Yeah, you're he's I don't like this rhetoric that he's giving of like
I'm a woman a woman turning me down means she's a bad person. It's like that's what's in her rights
Yeah, and you don't know why she turned you down. You're not giving us that context. We have to assume
She could have been for any reason.
She maybe just wasn't in the zone to date at the time,
maybe for whatever, but you're talking about it like,
she's a piece of shit for turning me down.
It's like.
She doesn't owe you anything.
I don't like that, man.
I don't like that.
But maybe now that he, in his head,
which is fucked up too, he's like,
now I'm hotter, now she wants me.
Yeah.
That's his mindset.
That's his mindset. That's his mindset.
That's the reality he's living in.
That's not the reality that might be happening.
The verdict was asshole,
which I think is completely fair.
Comments, you're the asshole.
Revenge for what?
Do you think she had some obligation
to go on a date with you just because you asked?
Not only that, but you organized a date,
then flaked and ghosted her?
Damn man, that isn't just an asshole.
That's like a post-very-hot-curry level
of being a raging asshole.
Oh, curry.
Damn.
Mm.
Oh, oh, ew, and it's a hot poop.
That they just, I was like, mm, very.
You were like, mm, yummy.
Mm, hot.
Mm, delicious.
Someone else said, you're the asshole.
She wasn't attracted to you then.
You've changed.
She is attracted to you now, or has learned to see beyond looks and is attracted to you're the asshole. She wasn't attracted to you then. You've changed. She is attracted to you now.
Or has learned to see beyond looks
and is attracted to you as a person.
Nobody is obliged to go out with someone
just because they have a good personality.
Looks matter and first impressions
are often made with looks.
Someone else said, you're the asshole.
A girl turning you down is not revenge worthy.
It's entitled of you to think she wasn't allowed
to say no to you without repercussions.
By all means, turn her down now
if you aren't attracted to her, but do it properly.
Don't ghost her and don't act as if rejecting her
is some major win for you.
I think, you know what I think would have been fair
is if he was hung up on, mm, you know,
she turned me down then, I did this, I look different now, and now she's dating me.
Is this just a looks thing?
I don't know how I feel about this.
You could talk to her about that.
You know what, there's something I'm a little hung up on.
You turned me down a year ago, now we're hanging out,
this is our third date.
What is different?
What is different?
And if someone said they were gonna do that,
I'd be like, you're within your rights to do that.
That doesn't make you a bad person.
But ghosting someone for this, I'm like,
what are you getting out of this?
And he is not obligated to go on another date with her
by any means, same as she was never obligated
for the first one.
Like, yeah, so, you know.
And it would also have been fine if he just was like, I'm hung up on this, I can't get over this. But the way he's wording it, I, so, you know. And it would also have been fine if he just was like,
I'm hung up on this, I can't get over this.
But the way he's wording it, I'm like,
no, you're coming to a weird place.
I think it's clear she dodged a bullet.
His viewpoint on their dynamic.
Oh, absolutely.
Yeah, and just holding onto that for such a long time
and like, you know, it's okay to feel hurt that someone rejected you,
but also at the same time,
you shouldn't be, rejection sucks,
but that doesn't make a person a bad person,
like these comments are saying.
So if that fueled you to improve your own life
and your health, that's great,
but then you just shouldn't see her as an enemy in any way
because that's that type of guy that can just view
women as an enemy because they aren't
saying yes to him or whatever.
I think it is a lot that he is so hung up on it
when this isn't someone he knows really well.
Yeah.
This is not, he is clarified like,
oh, they're hitting it off now, this is their third date, but this is not someone,
it's not like, oh, we were friends for a long time,
or like, we're really close,
so the heartbreak might hit more.
This is like, he's like, I asked this girl, Clara,
out on a date about a year ago.
This girl.
Like, this is some, and then he's that hung up on it.
I'm like, it honestly makes me,
look, I'm just vamping a little bit here.
Okay, go off, Keith.
He's talking about how he's had so much luck
with women since then.
I'm like, I'm questioning that.
Like, if you're really,
if you were actually out and having success
in the dating scene, but you were still so hung up
on this person, I'm like, come on, move.
And anyone who says I've had so much luck with women,
it's like, luck with women sounds like you sleep
with a lot of people, not you're dating a lot of people.
Not you're in a lot of healthy relationships with a lot of people.
It sounds like maybe he's done some work on himself.
Like he's gotten into some shape.
Maybe he's, I don't know, some things,
but there's some work that needs to be done.
Okay, next story.
This comes from Petty Revenge.
Mock me for not going to a strip club.
Wait until your wife finds out.
Oh.
Okay.
Let's go.
This sounds like revenge.
This sounds like revenge.
I'm gonna say early.
Okay, let's go. Snitches get stitches.
Okay.
A bit of a backstory, but it makes the revenge even better.
I've worked in software sales for the bulk of my career.
About 10 years ago, my company was hosting
its annual user conference in Las Vegas.
As a sales guy, I pretty much had carte blanche on expenses
as long as it involved clients, expensive dinners,
drinks, tables at clubs, et cetera.
The only unbreakable rule was we couldn't pay for strippers.
Having been in the industry long enough,
I realized what guys would do to get around this.
It was common for them to explain to a manager
at a strip club, and then they would have the girls tips
added to the bottle service.
Even with that in place, I never thought it was a good idea
to play that game, nor did I think it was a good idea
to go to a strip club with clients.
It was never a good look in my mind.
I was roughly 27 or 28 at the time,
and one of the older guys, late 40s, Jim,
was the typical sleazy sales guy.
He would tell half-truths to prospects,
overcharge them, oversell, et cetera,
the type that creates a hassle for the services
and implementation teams,
but he still got paid so he didn't care.
And when he got to Vegas,
Jim would go crazy entertaining clients in himself.
Sometimes he would go to dinner by himself, but say some senior VP was with him,
and he also abused the stripper loophole.
One of the reasons he tried to get a group to the strip club each night was that he had a very
conservative wife. She made the kids go to a local Christian school and the family went to
church every Sunday. She hated the annual trips to Vegas, to the point he would tell stories that he
wasn't allowed to bring his suitcase in the house.
He had to leave it in the garage where the laundry room was,
and she would wash his clothes
and then sanitize the washing machine.
On the last night of the conference,
he organized a shuttle from one of the big strip clubs
to pick up a group.
There were some open seats he was trying to fill
to meet the minimum commitment for free entry to the club.
Jim saw me speaking to a client and invited us,
but I declined.
He started mocking me about being scared of pretty ladies,
or that I would probably nut the first time
one of them touched me, et cetera.
This would have normally not bothered me,
but he did it in front of my client.
I stated, I don't wanna go
because I don't think it's professional.
He left, I bought my client another round,
and we joked about the douchebag.
Then I was on my own and decided to walk the strip a bit
and head to bed early due to an early morning flight.
If you've ever been to Vegas,
there are people on the sidewalk handing out cards
that are essentially ads for escorts.
They legally can't speak to you,
so they slap the cards on their hands
to get your attention.
After a few drinks, I started taking a few.
Fast forward to the next morning
when Jim and I were sitting in the airport
waiting for our flight.
He had stayed out till three or four a.m.
and was a complete mess and totally hung over.
I was 100% and enjoying his condition.
At one point, he went to the bathroom
and asked me to watch his bag.
When he was out of sight,
I added those escort cards in his bag.
When his wife went to do her laundry routine
when he got home, she was not happy.
She didn't believe in divorce,
but they were suddenly going to church three times a week
and had a weekly counseling session with their pastor.
This also led to Jim dropping out of his weekly golf league.
He was telling us all the story
at the office looking for sympathy,
and he swore he never took those cards,
but couldn't remember since he was so drunk
Whoa? Whoa? This is interesting because Jim is an asshole
Well Jim sounds pretty awful, uh, so this is
It seems like the story is inferring that the wife is already well aware that Jim is a piece of shit and
Is doing all sorts of stuff? Yeah that's like, leave the bag out in the garage
and we're gonna wash all your clothes
then I'm gonna sanitize the washing machine.
It seems like the context clues say that she's like,
I know you're messing around
and don't bring that sin into the house.
Also like, I know you're going to the strip club.
It's not, I know you're going home with an escort.
That.
Which is where the line gets a little tricky
because I'm like, oh, he kind of framed him
for something that he didn't do.
Right.
Which I'm like, oh, that's kind of weird too.
You probably should, also, it's not your,
get out of his business.
Like, you might not like Jim, but it's not,
you're not an arbiter of justice here.
You're not fucking Batman. Like.'re not an arbiter of justice here, you're not fucking Batman.
I thought he was gonna report the shenanigans to the boss man.
I didn't realize he was gonna affect the marriage,
which I don't know.
I don't know how I feel.
I guess you did it, dude.
Yeah, he doesn't know him well.
Because he's not saying he's much better.
And it does sound like she knows things are going on.
The story makes me think that.
Now, or, and she, yeah, it's, at least she knows
that he's going to the strip club, and she's like,
if you're going to the strip club,
you're gonna wash your clothes outside
and then sanitize everything.
Yeah.
If you're sleeping with someone,
that's something different that she might,
apparently is not okay with.
Based on even just reading the story though,
Jim has cheated on her for sure.
Come on.
Probably.
Jim is like, he's like a play from the 1940s.
Like he's just like, dude.
I wonder if the story's real because how did he know
that Jim's wife found everything and all this stuff? It could also be heavily exaggerated.
He was telling you a story at work looking for something.
He was saying that Jim is spouting all this stuff at work,
and that seems very possible.
A lot of these types of dudes are, it's so funny,
50 to 60 year old dudes will just tell you fucking everything.
Anything.
Well, they'll tell dudes everything.
They'll just start you fucking everything. Well, they'll tell dudes everything. They'll just start spouting off.
So I actually believe that he is telling them all this.
It also sounds like this is a little pent up
and that he's hated Jim for a long time.
So he's finally got a chance to just kind of fuck over Jim.
Jim's probably disrespecting him on a daily basis.
What is this line of work?
Yeah, sales, software sales.
Software sales, dang, computer nerds get freaky.
Actually, yeah, I think they do.
You're right.
I do feel this is the thing that's tough though,
is like he's getting revenge on Jim,
but he's also kind of, he's affecting Jim's wife.
Yes.
Like, that's what sucks here, is you're actually,
probably who you hurt the most is Jim's wife.
Yeah.
Because Jim doesn't seem like he gives a shit.
Well, yeah.
Well, Jim hurt Jim's wife the most.
Yeah.
That's also fair.
Yeah.
Yes, Jim is hurting Jim's wife,
but it's like, what are you really doing here
as an exterior force?
Yep, yep, yep.
It feels like there's a lot of behavior here
that should just actually be brought up to the boss.
That's what I was expecting.
Yeah, boss over, that makes more sense.
You are at this job with this coworker
and that's like an HR type of thing.
That's something that can be solved.
You're not involved with the wife at all
or you shouldn't be.
Oh. Yeah.
Comments here.
Someone said, beautiful.
Did it occur to Jim to be more respectful
of his wife and employers?
Of course not.
Someone said, not so sure it's petty revenge,
but it sure as hell is revenge.
Yeah, this is a little bit more of like,
that's a little more nuclear.
Yeah.
If you're impacting a marriage, that's not petty.
It literally is like, Jim called me a pussy.
I'm gonna ruin his marriage.
Yeah. Like, it is kinda. you know what this makes me think of when I was a kid
my family would go to Vegas and you went to the strip club and I
Was a kid never I know I never been to a strip club. I never been to a strip club either
Oh my god, should we go to a strip club you guys?
Oh my god, should we go to the strip club you guys? Cut the cameras.
We're going.
Here's your strip club, bitch.
Yeah.
Bring them in.
But I'm trying to think of what,
I'm trying to think of what age I was.
I know I was definitely a kid,
but they would hand me those cards.
And I was stoked.
That's messed up.
Cause I love, I love trading cards.
And also, naked lady.
Escort trading cards?
Oh boo.
Escort trading cards is so funny.
I think it'd be epic to make a game out of it.
Like, I love that. Attack plus three, yeah.
I play Cindy.
That's good.
I play Candy. No! three, yeah. I play Cindy. Oh, that's good. I play Candy.
No!
Sparkle.
That's incredible.
They were epic looking.
Yeah, yeah.
They're like sensor too.
I've never seen them.
They're crazy.
They never hand them to me, why not?
You have to be, fun fact,
you have to be on the right side of the strip too.
They can't pass them out on the side
with the Bellagio and stuff.
And I'm on the left side, am I right?
Anyways, moving on.
I don't even know if they still do it.
They do.
They do?
I think so.
We were in Vegas not that long ago.
I was just in Vegas a couple weeks ago.
Were we on the family side?
We were on the left side.
Because we're family.
We're on the family side.
Now we're moving. Family.
No, they definitely still don't do those.
What do you think they're gonna stand around
holding that QR code?
I feel like if you and I really went to Vegas
for a couple days, we'd end the trip and I'd look,
your bag would be filled with them.
What the fuck?
Am I wrong?
And my bag would be filled with those big grenade drinks.
Still full.
I did not, I did not.
Can I tell you that I've never gotten one of those
and every time we've gone to Vegas,
I'm always like, it'd be so funny to walk around with one.
You have to, they're so fun.
Guys, I think we have to go to Vegas.
Chance, I cannot believe, you would,
oh wait, no, you said never been to a strip club.
You've been to Vegas.
I've been to Vegas, yeah. I don't like Vegas. See, I don believe you would, oh wait, no, you said never been to a strip club. You've been to Vegas. I've been to Vegas, yeah.
I don't like Vegas.
See, I don't love Vegas either.
I'm not a gambler.
But yeah, yeah.
You've seen me roll dice.
Awful.
Yeah.
Terrible.
Anyways.
I can't believe you accused me
of keeping the best records.
And you have not denied it.
I like, I just have to like put my mind
in the right place to like picture it. and I'm not ready to go there right now
Okay, next
Am I the asshole for hitting on my girlfriend's friend after she insisted on not telling them I'm her boyfriend?
Okay
Wait, so her girlfriend's not telling them
He's her boyfriend. Okay, so he's like not telling them he's her boyfriend.
So he's like, oh, well, I'll hit on your friend then.
Fuck off.
It's one of those things where I'm like,
what do you want to happen, dude?
What are you hoping for here?
Okay, let's see what happens.
Let's see what the story is.
I don't know, I'm kinda liking it.
Let's hear the story.
I'm like, claim me bitch, want me, love me, choose me.
I see that, also fair.
My girlfriend and I have been official for a few weeks now.
She hasn't introduced me to her friend group yet,
which I didn't think much of at first.
We were all set to hang out, but before that,
my girlfriend said to me not to mention we were together.
I asked why, and she said because she wasn't ready for it.
For that night, I was okay with it.
Afterwards, I told my girlfriend that I felt like crap
and that I wanted to be seen as her boyfriend.
She said not to worry and that she will be ready soon.
But the second time she asked me to not mention it again,
I was annoyed, but I agreed not to say anything.
During that second time, I overheard one of her friends
ask her if there was anything going on between us.
She said I was just a friend.
I was hurt, to be honest.
I knew what I agreed to, but it hurt to hear her say that.
Later that night, one of her friends approached me
and started hitting on me
and asked me if I was into my girlfriend.
I lied and said we were just friends.
We spent the next two hours talking and lightly flirting.
I didn't kiss her or anything like that
but did playfully shove her.
I wasn't planning some revenge on my girlfriend or anything
but it felt nice to have someone flirt with me.
My girlfriend was pissed.
She said that I crossed a line with her friend.
I told her we were just having fun and nothing happened.
We got into a fight and I'm feeling confused now
if I should apologize or not.
Oh.
Ooh.
That's tough, man.
Not what I was expecting.
I thought he's gonna be like, hey, baby.
Yeah. Like hoping that his girlfriend
will go, no, wait, that's my man.
Yeah. Like, I thought that would,
I thought that's what was gonna happen.
This, in gay world, this happens all the time
where like, this is my friend,
and they're like, okay, and you're at a party,
and then people start flirting with your friend,
and you just have to be,
I have learned to just be okay with it.
Like, if you're not going to claim it,
other people are going to flirt, that is what happens.
Yeah, flirting, I feel like, it doesn't always mean
anything either, especially if nothing happened.
I can't really fault him for a playful shove.
I shove everybody.
I'd be shoving.
Yeah, I mean, he didn't, I mean, we'd have to,
you'd have to see it to be like, what was this level?
But like, the friend also doesn't know, so she's doing that.
Yeah, he did what he was told.
Maybe she didn't foresee this happening.
Because where my mind was at first was like,
okay, it sounds like they are calling each other
boyfriend and girlfriend, but maybe, you know,
for some people it's a big deal to introduce a partner
into a friend group.
Maybe she wants to see how her friends feel about him
before she publicly is like, yep, we're together.
Because it can be a big step.
But then for the friend to be there asking,
so, what's going on?
And her being like, no, we're just friends is weird.
It's a little weird.
I kind of.
And it's the second time.
This is not the first time.
Yeah, yeah.
She's introducing him to her friends. That was the first time. This is the second time. Second time not the first time. She's introducing him to her friends.
That was the first time, this is the second time.
Second time around them, yeah.
This is interesting, I kind of feel like
he has the right to ask her like, why are we hiding it?
Like what's going on?
Give me a reason, because I can't think of a good one.
Why are you, I personally, I talk to my friends
about any boy that I ever, I'm like, there was a boy in Costco today.
Like I'm communicating and so like,
my friends would know that already.
Yeah.
Exactly.
This is, and she's not telling her friends anything.
Because friends are flirting with him,
so she's keeping this fully.
She can't be mad at him.
I don't think she can be mad at him. I don't think she can be mad at him.
I don't think so either.
This is kind of a consequence of.
Flirting is a normal part of conversation.
It doesn't always equate to something.
And it feels like a little bit,
she's kind of friendzoning him.
It's like she's prepping to friendzone him.
She's like, I don't want anyone to think
that there was anything between us,
so when I do friendzone you, it's gonna be fine.
Yeah, like he also didn't know what to do.
What if he was just like, I was just pushing her away
because I wasn't trying to be with her?
Yeah.
And I love that he's communicating what he wants
and how he feels, and he's like, you don't want that,
I'm ready to compromise.
And he's hearing his girlfriend say,
oh, we're just friends, which is hurtful.
And so now someone's, they're flirting with him, it makes him feel like, oh, I're just friends, which is hurtful. And so now someone's there flirting with him.
It makes him feel like, oh, I feel wanted here now.
And I mean, the verdict was not the asshole.
Comments, bro, go for the girl who will
flirt with you in public.
That means she'll hold your hand in public,
kiss you in public, be with you in public,
treat you like you deserve to be treated.
Sorry, sorry.
Go back, go back, go back, go back.
What was that?
I don't know.
That means, yeah.
That means she'll hold your hand in public,
kiss you in public, be with you in public,
suck your dick in public, treat you like
you deserve to be treated.
They wrote, no, I'm just kidding.
Leave the girl who thinks that you are somebody
who has to stay in the closet, respect yourself.
Someone else said, I can think of a few reasons
why your girlfriend would hide the relationship.
None of them are good for you.
One, she's embarrassed of you.
Two, she's not serious about the relationship.
Three, she wants to be able to meet guys
while hanging out with her friends
and no one will question her on it.
Dump her and get with her friend, not the asshole.
What if she's cheating?
What if she has a- I don't know about that if she's cheating? What if she isn't?
I don't know about that too.
There's also the possibility that she
hasn't fully wrapped up something else
or something.
That she also hasn't told her friends about.
Yeah, and her friends aren't even questioning it
unless the friend is flirting with him
as a means of getting her to finally admit something.
Ooh.
Revenge on revenge on revenge.
Last comment, not the asshole, honestly,
I would date the friend and stay friends
with your girlfriend.
Jokes aside, get away from this mess ASAP.
Yeah, I think what's just fair is like,
okay, until we can publicly tell your friends
that we're a couple, we're not officially together.
Yeah.
Like we're dating until then.
Like don't do that, don't lock yourself down
if this person's,
this person does sound like they're not trying
to lock it down.
And they said a few weeks, right?
Yeah.
So it's really like not a few weeks.
I mean, so I'm surprised they were calling
to their boyfriend and girlfriend.
I feel like maybe he was really in and like.
A few weeks of being boyfriend and girlfriend.
They have been, yeah, official for a few weeks.
Oh wow. Official for a few weeks,
which means they were talking before.
Oh my goodness.
It's weird.
Poor guy.
Cause like I'm trying to put myself in those shoes.
I would never like do that.
But if I needed my partner to keep it under wraps
and then one of my friends started flirting with him
and he was just being nice, I'd be like,
okay, that's, yeah, that would've happened.
There's also like, I guess you don't owe it
to anyone to tell them you're official,
but if they're your friends, why would you not?
It's also, it's interesting that she's,
like her relationship with her friends is interesting to me.
Yeah.
Where I'm like, okay.
Is anything real?
Yeah.
What's real here?
What if they're all her girlfriends? Like they're all like in a polycule and she'm like, okay. Is anything real? Yeah, what's real here? What if they're all her girlfriends?
Like they're all like in a polycule and she's like,
we're just friends. I promise, yeah.
We're all just friends.
That's probably what's going on.
Okay, our next story.

petty revenge I
Got an obnoxious passenger fired
Fired a passenger fired a passenger was fired
Ejected ejected this is a long one, but it was the best revenge story of my life so far
I'm a South African living in Japan and I took my Japanese wife to meet my parents
and have a honeymoon in South Africa.
On the first of three flights back to Japan
was from Joburg to Qatar.
We take our seats and get settled in.
I noticed that a lot of passengers around us
were wearing the same T-shirts,
some kind of pharmaceutical company.
As soon as we got settled in,
I noticed that the woman and two men sitting behind us were some kind of pharmaceutical company. As soon as we got settled in, I noticed that the woman
and two men sitting behind us were also employees
of this company.
As soon as they got settled in, I noticed she,
let's call her Brandy, was quite chatty, loud,
and a bit obnoxious.
But I am a nervous flyer, so at the time,
I was more worried about the takeoff than her.
So I put my earpods on and whoosh,
we take off for our eight hour flight to Qatar.
As soon as the seatbelt sign switched off,
Brandi started ordering Brandi and
Cokes for herself and her two coworkers.
As each drink came,
Brandi's voice got louder and more obnoxious.
Oh no.
After drink number six,
the topic of her conversation turns to relationships.
By this time, half the cabin could hear their conversation about how
she disapproves of interracial relationships.
Even I could hear her through the guttural screams
and face-melting guitar riffs
of Miss Suga blasting through my ear pods.
Then it happened.
A nice woman sitting on four seats to her left
quite loudly says,
"'Ma'am, could you please quiet down?
"'You're a bit loud and I'm trying to get some sleep.'
"'I heard it too, so I paused the song "'and took out my left earbud to excitedly eavesdrop.'" says, ma'am, could you please quiet down? You're a bit loud and I am trying to get some sleep.
I heard it too, so I paused the song
and took out my left earbud to excitedly eavesdrop.
Right, right.
Tune the fuck in, girl.
What'd she say?
That's me.
That's me, unfortunately.
I'm all in.
I'm pausing my music, I'm putting my movie away.
I will admit it's probably a very toxic part of me
when I'm on a flight and some shit like that,
as long as it's not scary.
Yeah. Everybody.
If it's just drama, I'm like, thank God.
I'm like, oh, the in-flight entertainment has begun.
No, that's what's so funny.
Really quick mini tangent,
on all those viral videos of something going on on a plane,
every single person is...
Yeah. When you see whatever's going on, every single person is... Yeah.
When you see whatever's going on,
every single human is turning.
What am I supposed to do?
People are so stoked.
We are strapping in, mate.
Yeah.
Okay, sorry.
Brandi was not happy.
She says, excuse me, this isn't a nighttime flight.
Haven't you heard of earplugs?
And then jumped straight back into her conversation.
The tension in the air immediately changed.
At that moment, all the people who heard the interaction
caught eyes with each other,
and we all knew this flight was about to get interesting.
About 20 minutes later, a flight attendant comes
and politely asks Brandy to quiet down a bit.
She begrudgingly agrees, orders another round,
and quiets down.
But it only takes Brandy about 30 minutes
to get all the way back up to a volume louder than the jet engines roaring outside the windows.
Then another Chinese woman from the other side of the cabin gets up and walks to where
Brandy is sitting, and in her best attempt at English says, please be quiet, my child
keeps waking up because of you.
Brandy looks up and I shit you not, asks this Chinese woman in a very mispronounced Chinese,
can you speak Chinese?
I'm fluent in Chinese so I could understand
what she was trying to say and just kept repeating it
until the frustrated Chinese woman went back to her seat.
By this time, both flight attendants for our cabin
were very much aware of Brandy's sassy nature
and decided to close the bar for the whole cabin,
which pissed me off because I was hoping
to enjoy a few more whiskies before we landed.
A few minutes later, I heard the sound of shuffling,
then plastic, then the faint sound of what sounds like
the cap of a glass bottle being cracked open.
Oh no.
Then the sound of liquid being poured into cups.
Yep, Brandy had opened her bottle of duty-free Brandy
she bought at the airport.
And once again, their conversation began to crescendo.
Now, the whole time I had been spectating
the Brandy situation, I wasn't really paying attention
to my wife, who I assumed was sleeping next to me.
I then saw my wife pull one of her earbuds out
to try to get a look at Brandy through the crack
in the seat, and then turned to look at me
with a face I rarely see my wife make.
It was a face of pure rage and frustration.
I snapped.
Now, usually I'm not the kind of person
who likes to cause a scene, but I decided that
I'm not going to let this asshole of a woman ruin my wife's flight.
So like a crazy person, I stood up and announced loud enough that the entire cabin turned to
hear me.
Excuse me, everybody.
Can I please have your attention?
By show of hands, who of you would like these people to shut the fuck up?
About 30 passengers all around us raised their hands.
I then turned to Brandy and just point and say,
look, understand, shut up.
I sat back down to the sound of applause
from all the passengers that were raising their hands.
My wife was shocked that I did that,
but I told her that I did it because I could see
that Brandy was beginning to bother you too.
She gave me a hug and the flight attendant
that saw what I did brought me a cup of Coke,
but slipped me two of those little bottles of whiskey.
Ah!
Thankfully, Brandi and the gang then passed out
and were quiet for the rest of the flight,
so my wife and I could relax.
But Brandi wasn't finished,
and now she had a new target, me.
No!
On our descent, Brandi awakes and decides
that she wants to play some cards
on the entertainment screen attached to the back of my seat,
trying her best to hit the buttons hard enough
to make my seat.
What?
I teach kids for a living,
so I know that she is behaving like an angry toddler
trying to get the rise out of me, so I ignore her.
We land, the plane taxis off the runway,
and everyone starts getting up to get off the plane.
As soon as I get up and she sees my wife and I,
she starts repeatedly insulting me about my weight
and how I married an Asian woman
because I can't get a real South African woman,
blah, blah, blah.
High school bully level bullshit.
I just smiled and nodded my head
at everything she was saying and exited the plane.
Finally, Brandy and her coworkers walk off
and my wife and I find a nice cafe to have coffee and chill
and stretch for a bit before we make our way
to the next boarding gate for our second flight to Malaysia.
We eventually get to the gate and lo and behold,
guess who's also flying to Malaysia?
That's right, it's Brandy.
How does that always happen?
She's standing by the gate window taking selfies
and doesn't notice me.
I find an empty seat next to a guy wearing
the same pharmaceutical company t-shirt and say,
excuse me sir, that woman over there
with the blonde hair taking a selfie, what's her name?
He asks me why and I say that she looks like someone
I used to go to high school with,
but I wasn't sure and didn't wanna make an ass of myself
asking her directly.
He then tells me and I say, oh, then it's not her. Sorry. I thanked him
and for the remainder of the wait at the gate, logged into the airport Wi Fi, found their
company's Facebook page and website and sent a detailed recount of Brandy's behavior, being
sure to include all the colorful things she was talking about with her coworkers. The
next two flights back to Japan were uneventful and got home safe and sound. Two weeks later,
I got a reply from the CEO asking me for my number,
as he would like to talk to me about what happened.
He calls me and profusely apologizes
for what Brandy put us through.
Turns out that by the time Brandy landed in Malaysia,
the CEO had seen my message,
changed her return flight back to South Africa
for the very next day,
and fired her at arrivals in JHB Airport when she got back.
I bought a bottle of Brandy and Coke on my way home from work that day and fired her at arrivals in J-H-B Airport when she got back.
I bought a bottle of brandy and Coke
on my way home from work that day
to celebrate with my lovely wife.
Whoa.
That is, I say, not the asshole.
Is that what we're doing here?
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha.
It was giving a little bit, and everyone clapped.
Yeah, I believe most of the story is true.
I think some of it is a lie.
A little bit embellished, I think.
That a complete stranger messaged the CEO
and the CEO was like, I immediately fired her.
I'm like, if a CEO would immediately fire someone
after a stranger messages them on Facebook, that's wild.
What I will say is, and we don't know her past history
with the company.
So that's why.
Because if this could be last straw, all I needed,
I needed one reason.
I needed one mess up.
The fact that the CEO message two weeks later
has me thinking, okay, this lady was talking so loudly,
horribly racist shit, with a ton of people
of her coworkers, probably other coworkers,
were like, hey, she was doing this,
and then the CEO saw that message and was like,
I'm so sorry, she doesn't represent our company.
Yeah, because he didn't message,
he posted on the company's Facebook page.
So that's a little bit more public,
where it's like, that's now not only seen by the people at the company there
It could have been the domino effect of like the CEO saw that was like hey, we got this post
We need this account of the situation
I think that makes more sense that maybe other employees all went to the box like bro this happened
Yeah, they fired her this was a direct witness that had nothing to do with the company that all makes sense
But yeah, and also just like the flight attendant slipping her slipping him fired her, this was a direct witness that had nothing to do with the company. That all makes sense, but yeah.
And also just like the flight attendant
slipping him like drinks after everyone's clapping
and the wife hugging him, it sounds a little.
I don't think it's that crazy.
If someone at any company, most companies is being racist
and drunk to that point on a plane,
they're getting sent home.
Yeah.
They're getting, they're not getting away with it.
Is it also, you're not allowed to pull out a bottle
of whiskey.
I think that's a newer law, right?
Because it's illegal, it's illegal,
I think it wasn't until recently that I started hearing,
because we fly a lot, that they start saying on the overhead
that you're not allowed to open your own drinks
in the cabin, but that wasn't, I never like,
I didn't hear that until like this year.
This is from this month.
Oh, two weeks ago.
Oh, so then.
I'm pretty sure you're not allowed.
Yeah.
That would be, I would think absolutely you can't.
My nail file is a weapon?
That's a weapon.
Going to Qatar too.
It just sounds like a person who's gonna get fired.
Like that's also.
Yeah, like, but definitely Final Straff,
not plus plus plus Final Straff.
Unfortunately sounds like a person who has a real problem
and they're just going real off on the plane.
I have never experienced a passenger of that level.
I have just simply not.
I've gotten very lucky on flights
where people are just really quiet and not annoying.
I've had people on, just one time there was a fight
and they wouldn't stop, she kept pointing the air.
It was so petty.
That stuff sucks.
And the other lady didn't like the air
and they were like, turn that air off.
And they just got into it.
That sucks.
I guess also, I just have,
I've flown so much throughout my life
that there's just etiquette that's drilled into my brain
of like, this fan is mine.
I get to do whatever I want with this fan.
You get to do whatever you want with yours.
If you try to touch mine, then we have a problem,
but that's never happened.
I am of the opinion that the person in the middle seat
should get both of those arm rests.
But not everybody adheres to that.
And I'm not gonna try to.
I don't expect them, but I give them
when I'm not in the middle.
I don't expect it either.
I give them that, my arm rests.
But I will give them that.
I also, I am the type that I need,
we need airflow in a cabin,
but if I have air blowing directly at me in any capacity,
I get a massive headache, so I have to turn away at me in any capacity, I get a massive headache.
So I have to turn away.
I wonder what it is, like what is that?
I don't know.
But yeah, I don't know.
I feel like I've been very fortunate,
but honestly like I'm like, I wish something would happen.
Give me one reason.
I wanna be, I wanna be clapped for.
See, I don't wanna get, I don't,
I'm not trying to fuck with shit on a flight
because they will kick you both out
Yeah, and you do not want to end up on a list where you can't fly like yeah
Like and the main thing to is like if you never know who you're dealing with
Like it's the same with road rage. You don't want to push the buttons of someone
Who could be just have too many screws loose also Also, the fact that she's playing with his screen
gets up and is playing a game on his screen.
No, no, no, she's playing on the screen
on the back of his head.
Oh.
So she's like, say this is the back.
I thought she was up and was playing on his screen.
I was like.
No, no, no.
That's crazy, no.
She's just poking the back of his seat.
I've told this story before, but one time I was on a flight
and I was watching District Nine, and I had headphones in.
And there was this guy sitting next to me,
and I could tell he was watching my screen for a long time.
And District 9 is shot, like, documentary news style.
And he taps me, like, 30 minutes in, and he goes,
he's like, I'm gonna, like, take my earphones out.
And he's like, is this happening right now?
And you go, you go.
No, I'm like, yeah, I should have fucked with it. Oh my God.
You're not hearing it, you should turn it on.
Can you believe this?
Yeah, when we land, shit's gonna be.
That's crazy.
Can you imagine?
Oh, it was because I was, it was from South Africa.
I was on a flight from South Africa.
Whoa!
And the movie takes place in Johannesburg.
That's crazy.
Have you seen the photo?
There's this incredible photo.
So you know how like a lot of those games,
you can play them online,
like you can play them against people on the plane?
Oh yes.
So there's a great photo of a guy playing Battleship
and he's like, does the guy,
does my opponent know that I can see his screen? Oh. So he's just killing him in Battleship and he's like, does the guy, does my opponent know that I can see his screen?
So he's just killing him in Battleship.
Cheating.
Yeah. Thank you.
But it's funny. Yeah.
Okay, comments.
I have seen people on a plane applaud a couple times.
Once when some jerk got thrown off the plane
before we ever got off the ground
and once after the pilot landed us safely
after a particularly bad storm situation.
Someone else said, yep, stuff like this happens.
There's an incident from the 80s
where a VP of Ford was fired in the airport
because of the way he was treating the airline employees,
and someone higher up than him
was in the gate area unbeknownst to him.
Being a VP, he thought he was God's gift to the world.
The higher level executive walked over to him,
asked him his name and if he did indeed work for Ford.
The guy was rude in his reply to the executive,
not realizing who he was talking to.
The executive tells the VP his name and title
and then fires him on the spot,
stating that they expect better behavior
out of their executives.
Lastly, someone said,
this may be the best petty revenge I've ever heard.
Thank you, OP, on behalf of all of us.
I might add, I don't think it's petty, it's just correct.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I mean, she, I think she was going to get fired.
If this somehow miraculously didn't fire her,
she was gonna get fired.
Rotting fruit.
I'm also confused, are they allowed,
do they have to keep serving you
right cut you off and why did they cut off the whole cabin like I'm just like I
didn't know that I thought I didn't think that there was a to drink limit on
planes no there's definitely not a to drink limit I guess I don't I don't
drink on flights just cuz like flights already make me feel like shit and I
worry that if I drink I'm gonna feel like shit after.
Yeah, it's just like you're basically becoming dehydrated chicken,
you know, like the treats that you give a cat.
That's what I feel like is happening to me.
You're like being freeze-dried.
And then if you drink alcohol, it just speeds up the process.
The only time I drank on flights was actually when we used to fly
to Sacramento to film sketches
Not on the way there though. Not on the way there on the well
I mean well sometimes sometimes on the way there because we'd get that we'd land there and then we wouldn't we would go to bed
And then film the next day. Yeah, we would get drink tickets because we were like a plus preferred because we were flying so much
So but it's a 45 minute flight. Mm- flight. So they literally will come by, get your drink order,
they'll bring you your drink,
and then like literally less than 10 minutes later,
they'll come to get the trash.
So I will order a beer and quite literally chug it.
And that's what I was doing.
I was like, can I get a Modelo?
And they're like, they hand it to me.
And I'm just like, and they'll literally,
they will tell you, they're like,
you need to drink that fast
because we're gonna be right back.
We used to, and it was always so fun,
like especially when it was after the shoot,
heading back, like everybody had their drink order.
I'm trying to remember, what would I get?
Do you remember what I would get?
I don't know.
I don't think I ever sat next to you on those planes.
I think it was always next to Olivia.
That's hilarious.
No.
We would all sit by our, I would sit by myself.
Keith and Noah would sit next to each other.
And fight the whole time.
They would fight the whole time.
Yeah.
And then maybe you and Olivia.
Maybe we'll be in front of them listening and laughing.
And then I would just be like,
I'm gonna go sit by myself.
And I'd sit there and I'd chug a beer.
That was me back then, baby.
I have been keen sometimes, a Bloody Mary.
Oh yeah, Bloody Mary on a flight.
That sounds like it.
So awesome.
But Bloody Marys don't count.
What?
Just kidding.
Bloody Marys don't count because there's tomatoes.
Bloody Marys don't count.
You can just have those whenever.
Last thing I'll say about the story is the-
It's a vegetable.
It's a fruit. Tomatoes are fruit.
It's fruit.
I like to think that, so you know how there's like so many
of these employees with the same shirts on the flight?
Like, it's always like, dang, how are other employees
not hearing this?
And just the fact that the CEO wasn't aware of it,
I'm just like picturing him like, he's like, sorry,
I didn't know what was going on, I was in first class.
Thanks for laughing guys. All right. I liked it. Thanks. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha. Thanks for laughing guys.
All right.
I liked it.
Thanks.
Okay, our next story.
Oh.
Am I the asshole for struggling to forgive my husband
for his petty revenge on me?
I feel crazy.
So the husband got revenge on her
and she can't forgive him for it.
But that means she did something first. Yeah. He got revenge and And she can't forgive him. And she can't forgive him for it. But that means she did something first.
Yeah.
He got revenge, and now she can't handle it.
What if it's the couple from the rejection story,
but it's years later.
Now that years later.
And I will also say, she could've done something
and not meant it to be bad, but it still hurts,
and then he gets revenge.
Exactly.
And it's the intent for me.
So like, I wouldn't be able to get over the intent either.
So let's see.
My husband, who's 34, and I, 32, 32 year old woman,
have been married for six years.
Two months ago, I stopped him from going on a bachelor's trip
with his long-term school friends.
I was okay and was kinda looking forward to him having fun
until I learned he hid the fact
that they would be doing a lot of adult themed activities, think strippers and happy end massages.
As a part of their itinerary, it caused a huge fight as we've always maintained that
this is a deal breaker for me and the fact that he hid it from me made it worse.
He argued that he only did it because of my tendency to overreact.
And of course he wouldn't engage in those activities, but that didn't mean he couldn't
go.
I would have been fine with him going if he told me about their itinerary and trusted
the fact that he would keep away.
What he did broke my trust and the only way I could see him earning it back is if he voluntarily
told his friends that he couldn't come, which he did.
At the time he looked really apologetic and we made up.
He took me shopping and it was all good.
I bought some fashionable outfits and was looking forward to wearing them ahead of summer.
It was still a little cold
and I didn't get to immediately dress up
in the clothes I had just bought.
Also, most of my summer clothes had shrunk in the wash,
so I practically only had my oversized casuals.
A few weeks later, it starts to get warmer
and as I slip into my new dress, it feels tight.
I'm confused.
I just tried them on in the store and I'm a size 14,
as the label on the dress said.
So no, I didn't get the wrong size from the store.
Then another dress was tight,
same with the pants and other tops.
I start feeling absolutely crazy.
Had I just put on so much weight in a matter of a few weeks
that my new dresses didn't even fit,
I've always been a bit sensitive about how my body looks
and I remember telling my husband how excited I was
about these new clothes that looked so flattering on me.
I felt so good in all of them.
And now they look so hideous on me.
I started crying on the floor.
I was too embarrassed to tell my husband this.
I thought he must have noticed if I'd put on weight.
I was a wreck.
I was feeling crazy for a few weeks now.
Even the clothes that I had before felt tighter.
I don't know if it was a placebo or real, but it didn't help.
My husband a few days ago during dinner said he wanted to confess something.
He was snickering while saying this, and what he said absolutely crushed me.
He said that while I was gone to see my sister, who had just had a baby, for a week, he had
secretly taken all my outfits that he knows I routinely wear and gave them to the local
tailor to make them a size or two smaller. I've taken all my outfits that he knows I routinely wear and gave them to the local tailor
to make them a size or two smaller.
He said he paid him generously to stitch things faster.
He said, sorry, but it felt like a funny payback
for what I had done, stopped him from going on a trip.
I said that wasn't funny.
He made me feel crazy.
I was crying and screaming at this point.
He severed my sense of self and made me feel ugly.
Eventually I tried to be okay, but I am not.
I'm still reeling from what he did as petty revenge.
It's been some time since he confessed and offered to get them stitched back to original
size.
I'm struggling with what he just did.
I want to forgive him.
I never knew how resentful he was of me about that trip.
Maybe it's my fault.
I should have been more trusting.
I knew he would never cheat in my heart
I knew he would keep away and from his POV his petty revenge on me probably feels deserved
I would be mad too if he stopped me from doing something
I was looking forward to doing but still if you were me, how would you feel has anyone had their spouse do petty revenge on them?
But that is not petty revenge, that's psychological torture.
Yeah.
That's crazy.
That's like some Joker shit.
Also, first off, you stitch things to be a smaller size,
I don't feel like you can stitch them to be a bigger size.
No, not possible.
I don't think that's how shit works.
No, unless you like literally keep the extra fabric,
but you need like more fabric than you had before.
Yeah. So it's like not possible. No, he you need more fabric than you had before. So it's not possible.
No, he ruined all our outfits.
That's crazy, which is also expensive.
Why is he expensive?
That's expensive as hell.
I mean, Jesus Christ, I hate,
because I've been watching some decent amounts
of reality TV lately, I hate when it's like,
I didn't tell you because you were gonna be mad.
Yeah, no shit, no shit.
It's not about me being mad,
it's about the shitty thing that you were gonna do.
You were gonna cheat on, you were gonna cheat on her.
Her swearing up and down that he would never cheat,
but I'm like, but he wasn't telling you
about all this stuff.
Also, there's some activities like happy and massage.
I'm like, what the fuck are you talking about here?
Definitely suspicious activity. Like talk about that that like that's normal bachelor. Yeah, no behavior. That's
Go play pool or
Hell yeah, man
And her his reaction is really bad
He was keeping it a secret and then he's like, oh I wasn't telling you cuz you overreact
All right. I just can't wrap up my mind, wrap up my mind around
someone that would put so much effort
into something so unfunny.
It's not funny at all.
It's not, like, it makes her go crazy.
It is also establishing, like,
establishing you're getting revenge on her.
I don't know, it implies that, oh, I was doing,
there was nothing wrong with my situation,
but it's like, you kept something secret.
Like, you actually really hurt her first.
I don't know, I, this does not sound good.
No, no, no, no, no.
Not at all, I mean, like,
cause you know we've talked about like cheating,
cheating in a sense, it's just like, it's that extreme I mean, like, cause you know we've talked about like cheating, cheating in a sense it's just like,
it's that extreme dishonesty, like,
this isn't, I wouldn't call like,
tailoring someone's clothes like cheating,
but it is like, it is a level where it's like,
that is a crazy amount of dishonesty with your life partner.
Like, what the hell, if that's like, ugh.
And you fucking know that if she was going on some trip
where there was gonna be like some hot dancing dudes
or situations similar to this, the flip,
this guy would not be cool with it.
Nor.
You just know that based on his behavior here.
Yeah.
The verdict was not the asshole.
Yeah, no.
It's not surprising.
Comments, not the asshole.
To recap, your husband is a liar and cruel.
I don't understand how you can watch someone you love suffer
and think that's funny.
Someone else said that was a calculated,
time consuming and expensive act meant to hurt you
where he knew you were the most vulnerable
and would hurt you the most.
No excuse for that kind of cruelty,
regardless of the reason.
Lastly, someone said he took revenge on you
because you didn't let him cheat.
And he took revenge by giving you a low blow
to your self-esteem, 100% intentionally.
He is not the kind of person you should be married to.
He's vile, disgusting, and immature as hell,
and he hurts you as payback for not letting him cheat.
If that's what you think you deserve from your husband,
then I can't even feel sorry for you.
Oof.
Yeah, this guy's a piece of work.
Amelie, the movie, she does that.
So it is kind of like a mainstream no thing.
She takes his slippers and replaces them
with a smaller pair.
That is so crazy, that is crazy town.
It also costs money.
Amelie's a little crazy.
But what if they deserve it?
She doesn't deserve it. In like a cute way.
Oh, Omelette, like what?
Omelette doesn't, that's what I'm saying.
And the guy kind of deserved it.
Nice, nice, nice, nice.
Good save, good save.
I start stitching his clothes tighter, tighter, tighter.
And he's like, good, I'm getting more muscular.
Yeah, he's like, I'm fucking ripped.
He loves it.
I make it just tighter in the crotch.
So you're like, whoa.
Wait, what if I made it bigger in the crotch?
And then he's like, oh man, my little ass.
My little ass.
Okay.
Anyways.
All right, our last story from Am I the Asshole.
Am I the Asshole for sending an explicit video
my ex sent to me to hurt me to her family.
Oh no, you don't do that.
Okay.
Bleh. Bleh. Bleh. Bleh. Bleh. Bleh.
Hi.
Hi. It'sh. Hi. Hi.
It's this.
Hi.
Hi, am I the asshole?
I'm going to try to make this as brief as possible
so I don't ramble.
I dated my ex, M, for a year and a half.
During this time, I confided in her some personal secrets,
which I don't feel comfortable sharing even anonymously.
Because of these, she knows that there are certain things
related to sex mostly that I am very sensitive towards.
We did not part on friendly terms after our breakup
and we don't talk anymore.
I broke up with her because I found out she cheated on me
and she flipped out.
Recently, I found out that she is seeing
one of my coworkers and that he is spreading rumors
about me that she told him.
She basically told him bits and pieces
of the personal information I shared with her when we were together and now he's spreading some of that she told him. She basically told him bits and pieces of the personal information I shared with her
when we were together, and now he's spreading
some of that around the office.
Oh.
I sent her a message telling her to stop
spreading my secrets around and to leave me alone.
She replied by sending me explicit videos of herself
having sex with my coworker
because she knew it would hurt me.
That was the last straw for me,
and I sent the video to all of her family and friends with the message that this is what M
Sends me when I asked her to leave me alone and stop spreading rumors
Her family is quite religious and they lost it
Apparently they pulled their financial support for her college and aren't speaking with her at the moment. Am I the asshole?
Whoa, okay, they, they broke up because why?
She cheated on him.
She cheated on him and she freaked out.
She freaked out, started dating their coworker,
and then started sending, spreading sensitive information.
Once again, this revenge is not helpful.
This is intense revenge.
It is not helpful.
It is not helpful. It is not helpful. It is not helpful. It Once again, this revenge is not.
This is intense revenge.
It is not helpful.
Yeah.
It's not gonna make you feel better.
It's not gonna bring you the peace that you're looking for.
Sounds like OP acted very, like out of emotion
and in doing that.
I will say this ex
sounds very self-destructive.
Like the fact that they're doing all of these things.
It's, so this ex sounds like a nightmare to me.
Yeah.
This ex is a horrible person.
And now it's in the workplace too.
Like also horrible.
Sounds like malicious person.
She's being a nightmare to him.
She's doing everything she can to hurt him.
I totally understand that that's so painful and so awful.
The thing is sending unsolicited sexual video
or imagery to someone is illegal and horrible to do.
And then in return, he did that to a bunch of people
who did not ask for those images or those videos.
He could have said, she's sending me explicit videos.
If he went to them and said, I want you to know,
to her friends, she is harassing me.
She is sending me footage of her,
she is sending unsolicited videos to me.
It is so painful for me, that is within his right.
But him just blasting this out there is too much.
It's a shitty thing to do to those people.
Yeah.
And that's why I'm not surprised the verdict
is everyone sucks here.
Yeah. Which is a rare verdict to get on am I the asshole
Comments here everyone sucks here. This is a pretty clear-cut case your ex is a terrible person who is acting despicably
But you crossed a line in sending that to her family
They did nothing to deserve being dragged into this situation someone else said everyone sucks here
She was an asshole which is legal but revenge porn is not if she wants to bring the cops into this you're absolutely fucked
Yeah, he literally sounds like someone who's waiting for that opportunity
Yeah, he literally did the definition of revenge porn. Yeah
Everyone sucks here this girl sent you an unsolicited explicit video
So to get back at her you sent a bunch of people an unsolicited explicit video you so to get back at her, you sent a bunch of people an unsolicited explicit video.
You did to her friends and family
exactly what she did to you.
Yeah, look, there are so many situations in life
where someone is being horrible,
and it sucks that the best thing you can do
is to block them and to do your best to move on.
And they will make it hard for you.
They will, but like.
There was a lot of steps that like could have had equal
like taking care of yourself
and standing up for yourself before that.
Like even just to the partner
that the ex is currently with being like,
hey, just so you know,
your partner is sending me explicit content
that I'm not comfortable with and because of him.
On a standalone thing, he has a legal case there
of being sent unsolicited videos to him,
but he's blowing that by doing this.
I mean, I don't know legal jargon as well.
I don't know what the case is there.
All I know is that this is not gonna be good for him.
That all sucks.
I mean, that's a place where revenge is not gonna,
yeah, it's in everyone sucks here,
that revenge just kinda leaves everybody feeling horrible.
Yeah.
Because doing that didn't remove the data of his rumors
from everyone's brains at work.
It didn't, like none of that stuff was reversible.
Right.
And like. It's not fixing the situation at all. It didn't, like, none of that stuff was reversible. Right. And like.
It's not fixing the situation at all.
No, no.
Cause like, telling a loud racist in a plane to be quiet
kind of fixes the thing.
True.
But, yeah, but just doing exactly what that person
did to you is not fixing anything.
Yeah, it's just not the right move.
Well, that's rough.
That's brutal.
I feel bad because OP had like really sensitive stuff that they literally probably something really bad happened to them and they're really sensitive to some things. I do feel bad for OP
and his ex sounds like the worst person on the planet. Yeah. But this is less it's more a matter
of like,
you can't, you're doing this to other people though.
You're almost getting revenge on other people.
Yeah.
No, like no amount.
I'm trying to punish her.
That's kind of my take on it.
No amount of anything being done to you
gives you permission to do any of that.
No.
Like, it doesn't matter.
It's.
You gotta be the better person.
Yeah.
Well, this has been an episode full of revenge.
What was your favorite revenge?
Favorite?
None of them.
I don't believe in revenge.
Nice.
I think one of them, my favorite was like,
it's not really a revenge, but it is the one where
the Romanian speaking Uber driver, because it's like, that's not really a revenge, but it is the one where the Romanian-speaking Uber driver,
because it's like, that's the kind of revenge that's like,
ha ha, got you, you're gonna be thinking differently
from now on, ha ha, didn't affect your life.
Like that OP could've like, and I gave them one star
and got them fired and they lost their family.
What's the difference between avenge and revenge?
Avenge is, Avenge is if someone's been wrong's the difference between avenge and revenge? Avenges.
Avenges is if someone's been wronged,
you will avenge them.
For them.
For them.
Avenge, but revenge is from you.
Is you.
You're directly at the person.
Reflect.
I will avenge you.
Avenge me.
Avengers.
What if there was Revengers?
Is there a Revengers?
I think that's a thing.
Thank you both for being here.
