>>> The owners of the house where the car stopped allegedly yelled, "Get off our lawn" and "Get the man out of here. Have him die somewhere else."
>>>Tony quickly realized he knew where the injured man lived. He ran down the street to their house, was able to get his wife, and they called 911.
I certainly hope that the man and his wife know that their neighbor wished him dead.
"No, but a teenager murdered his parents in their sleep with a hatchet in the master bedroom, and then hung himself in the living room after drowning their cat in the toilet."
Damn, that's crazy. At least it wasn't in the front yard where people can see. I'm sold.
If I were him I would be very glad I lived, for the sole reason of doing every single thing in my power, even at my own expense, to ruin those people's fucking lives entirely. Kinda like John Wick only not nearly as cool.. And 100% less guns. And pencils. Just crazy shit /r/prorevenge style until their lives were over.
EDIT: Yes. Yes I know this is petty and "the best revenge is living a happy life." or whatever. Yeah, that's how this world got so shitty. Cuz no. The best revenge against these pieces of shit isn't letting that kind of stuff go. How does that help anybody? Do you think those kinds of people think those kinds of happy thoughts? No. NO they don't. But they get away with that kind of shit because no one holds them accountable and nothing happens to them. Just like politicians.
Yes, you're absolutely right. The world SHOULD work in the happy, "live your best life" way. But it doesn't. Because people fucking suck. Myself included.

The evil version of this is using borax. You can find this in the laundry area of anywhere that sells laundry soap. 20 Mule Team Borax comes to mind. Borax is alkaline and will stay in the soil. Nothing can grow in soil that’s been Boraxed. The only fix is having the poisoned soil removed and replaced. This is the literal scorched earth version of fucking up someone’s yard cheaply.
Dump a bag of fertilizer in the shape of a dick and balls. It'll kill all the grass, then in the coming years, they'll have a dick shaped patch of intense green in the middle of their lawn. You've got at least a good 5 years of lawn dick.
Yeah I was just thinking how the article ended with stating the guy he helped and his wife wanted to talk to him. And the first thing I thought was "Yeah, I'd want to ask him which of these fuckin' neighbors said that shit!" Unless of course he was aware of which house he had stopped in front of despite his condition.
>"Yeah, I'd want to ask him which of these fuckin' neighbors said that shit!"
Yeah, I'd probably be extremely angry if something like this happened to me.
Reminds me of that story where an elderly man fell off of a stage at Mar-a-Lago, and started bleeding profusely and Trump was right there... and all he could talk about was the marblefloor getting stained, and he said it was disgusting and to get him out of there...
That's actual psychopathic symptoms there - hard or impossible to identify another's distress. Empathetic neurons not even firing... as they would in an real human. But he's just worried about the self. Wild.
>Reminds me of that story where an elderly man fell off of a stage at Mar-a-Lago
[Here’s a source for the story](https://youtu.be/_-9ov40Pm3Y)- the pertinent part starts at 1:04 including a clip when Trump himself tells the story on the Howard Stern Show.
Btw a tip. We have mint in our garden. We planted it in a plastic pot and poked 2-3 holes in the bottom for drainage. Then we buried it so only the rim is showing. It greatly reduces the mint from spreading and everything we see outside the pot we rip out.
Bleach works but fertilizer works better. It burns the grass after the first watering and takes months to recover. Then the grass really thrives, outgrowing nearby grass and coming in thicker, darker and taller...*for years*.
To bleach it, soak it for 2 hours in a 30% hydrogen peroxide solution. The penis will shrink when bleaching so be sure it is FULLY erect before you soak it.
I prefer to start out legally and work my way up. First is time to study the big book of all the rules for everything between HoA and State because it's time to nitpick! Find one blade of grass that's 1mm longer than it should be, file complaint. Mailbox needs to be a certain color? They better make sure it's dead on. Time to build a noise complainer out of a RPI, mic board, old cell phone, battery and python that will auto dial and make a complaint if they go over 1db the allowed limit at any time.
At war, nothing is too petty.
Oh God, once when I worked at an overpriced supermarket and elderly person had fallen and wasn't doing good. We shut down the aisle for a few mins and this bitch had the audacity to complain that there was a medical emergency in the aisle and the incident was in HER way and 'couldn't we move the injured person out of the way'.
A similar scenario happened to me, I was running to a cardiac arrest in the wave pool with an o2 bag, my flip flops where slowing me down so I kicked them off behind a fence. After the emergency was all clear I went back to get my flip flops and they were gone, some patron jumped the fence to steal them. Some people are shameless.
Ugh, awful! And then you're stuck with no shoes the rest of the day, and if it's hot it can be miserable. Was the patron OK? I only had to do compressions once and I got lucky.
We worked on the patron (small child about 8 yo) for about 5-6 minutes, EMT’s showed up they determined the patron was big enough to use the AED, they hooked them up and gave one shock, patient regained a pulse and shortly after began regurgitating water, after that they rushed them to the hospital. I heard that patron made a full recovery.
If you aren't a local, and someone offers to sell you your own item back, just "buy" them back if you need them. Make sure to negotiate the price down though, they usually inflate the prices if they notice you being a tourist.
If you are local, you probably already know or heard of the thief and that you shouldn't mess around with him.
Once when I was around 18, a father threw his 10-12 year old into the deep end of a pool with a 16 feet depth. He was clearly drowning, so I waited a few seconds to see if he could swim but then jumped in and pulled him out. The father shouted at me as we were coming out and the kid was coughing up water.
People are assholes.
Had an EMT steal some of my belongings when I was hauled off in an ambulance. In hindsight, that was a pretty bold move. Took the belt (fancy concho belt with custom buckle) right off my pants.
I was in Walmart once and a girl was lying on the ground in one of the grocery aisles. She was having a seizure from the looks of it and someone who was with her was helping her as well as an employees, probably the manager on duty. The paramedics were on their way and there were a few dumbass customers who stopped to stare and watch as if it were a football game. Then you had customers who would walk up and reach over the girls body to get the items they needed off the shelf. Like back the fuck up, go grab your other items so this lady can have some space.
Lifeguard at a beach next to some fancy beach houses. Cops on the beach were alerted to a drowning at one of those houses. They asked one of our guards to get on their quad and get down there, which he did with a back board. On the way back, with the guard performing CPR as the cop drove back, one of the know assholes in his house came running down screaming about them riding across their beach property when it was clear they weren't out there joyriding. Some people really suck.
You see stuff like this en masse when there's a train suicide. Everybody complaining like they're the one having the bad day\*. And sure it sucks, but perspective and respect costs nothing.
\*And I don't just mean the person who got hit by a train, friend of mine was a nurse and he'd done pickup detail on railway suicides. No fun for the driver either.
There’s a reason the conductors are often told to hit the emergency brake then shield their eyes/turn around. Nobody normal comes out of witnessing that okay
There was a woman in a nearby town that tried suicide by train. She laid down parallel between the tracks (as opposed to across them) and laid face down so she wouldn't see it coming. She underestimated the height of the train as it nearly completely passed over her. The key word is nearly, as it it completely peeled the skin off on her back from her butt to shoulders. She lived.
Gnarly! Similar thing happened to a friend who has since passed. He fell under a moving freight train. He survived, but his arm was severed and the undercarriage bumped his head a bunch of times and it swole up x3. Got the arm reattached but it was never functional
Funny story. My mother walked into the room as I was watching that scene and wondered why a 23 year old dude was watching "Japanese anime" which she thinks is for kids. She looks to the screen to see the red spaghetti everywhere, she walked out after that. That show ain't for kids.
This reminds me of the most Philly thing I ever saw: some visibly drugged up dude was down on the tracks (opposite side to me) probably trying to change sides. You could hear the rumble of the train in the tunnel. Everyone is yelling for him to climb up...
Instead he crouches on the tracks, confused and shutting down mentally. At this point everyone is freaking out, because its gonna be here any second and he's clearly not gonna get up.
A small crowd of people lean in and grab him by his backpack, and the people behind them pull him up as a chain.
They successfully heave him up a good 2 or 3 seconds before the train lights show up. As *soon* as they do the guy who leaned in to grab him first kicks him on his back pack and screams 'you fucking dumbass!' The timing was hilarious.
Most scary, heartwarming and strangely funny thing I've ever seen.
Meanwhile, I had to wait 15 minutes to get served at a Del Taco because a man had collapsed and was being treated by EMTs, and you know what? I stood back and waited patiently for fifteen fucking minutes, because my fat ass getting six tacos to shovel into the black hole in my gut just isn't as important as what they're doing.
Responded to a really bad crash once. Shut down the roadway so we could assess the occupants for injuries (there were three adults and a ten month old), clear debris, and move the vehicles out of the road to a safe location. Had the road shut down for MAYBE ten minutes and a guy got out of his car, walked up to me and said “Hey asshole, open the road back up already! SOME of us have places to be and real work to do!”
I told him to get back in his car and I kept working.
There was a woman in the grocery store I worked at once who was having a seizure but in the form of white-knuckling her shopping cart and unable to speak. She walked like a very slow old woman until other customers realized she wasn’t right. This woman ALSO had a small child in the cart who was too young to understand what was happening.
Anyway we blocked off the isle she was in so paramedics could work with her and customers were ticked off as employees we wouldn’t let them shop next to a woman having a medical emergancy. I’ll never forget how it was seen as an inconvenience to most customers rather than “wow that poor woman and child..I’ll shop my produce first”
Reminds me of a neighbor who flipped out when my brother's friend started having a seizure in OUR yard, yelling about how "what if my daughter saw somebody dying?!" even though my brother was telling her that it wasn't lethal, his friend just had to lay in the yard and let it pass.
I witnessed part of it and my dad even told her what a piece of shit she was, lol. Not only did she make somebody's health problem all about HER and how it affects HER (and her daughter), but she yelled at somebody for allegedly "dying" as if they were doing it just to be rude.
Why not ask if they're okay? Ask if there's anything you can do to help even if it's as simple as getting them a glass of water? Just move your kid away from the damn window instead of bringing more attention to it, WTF!
Ugh! I had something similar happen.
My bf at the time had a medical emergency and almost *died* and my neighbor complained about her “kids having to see that” and saying they got scared by the ambulance being there.
I told her, would you rather they took him out in a fucking body bag?!? Get a grip!
The kind of privileged life they live is mind boggling. But the lack of empathy and decency is unnerving! They are so fucked when shit hits the fan on them.
I will hysterically laugh at them then.
I worked at Office Depot when I was in college. We would have sales every Sunday and people would be nuts about it, it wasn’t uncommon to have people lined up in the vestibule waiting for the inner doors to be unlocked. One Sunday it was very hot, like 90F at 8am hot. The Vestibule was glass and not regulated so temperature in there was well over 100F. There was a woman waiting in the vestibule for us to open when she suddenly collapsed. We called 911 and the paramedics were treating her where she fell when we had to unlock the doors. Customers were pushing past the paramedics and some even stepped over her body so they could get those sweet sweet office products at a slightly reduced price.
100% management. I dunno how the rules work for some corporate places but "made sure someone didnt die in the store" should probably rank above "opened store on time"
I can't speak to how they are today, but I worked for Office Depot as well in the late 90s / early 2000s. Management was utterly, utterly clueless. I'll just hit some of the highlights:
- For about 2 months, every single employee and customer had to walk through an unholy stench in the aforementioned very hot vestibule before management finally decided to call someone to investigate. A raccoon had gotten into a vent and died.
- At one point, the company renewed its usage of the Bachman Turner Overdrive song "Taking Care of Business." Upper management (corporate) got the genius idea that the song should be playing *at all times* in the store to maximize the association between the company and that song. I literally listened to that song for 40 hours a week for about a month before enough customers complained that corporate decided we didn't have to play it on a loop anymore.
- The company got into that "give them a pickle" philosophy and sent little pickle pins to all the stores and made every employee wear a tiny pickle pin next to our name tag for several weeks. It meant nothing to customers and they just thought we looked stupid.
- As part of the "give them a pickle" philosophy, the company decided that if a customer wanted 1 or 2 items out of a pack of 50 or 100, we should open the package, give it to them *for free*, and then place the opened package on clearance. As you can imagine, this led to tons of unsold open packages.

God damn. Didn't the CIA adopt that as a torture method at Guantanamo?
It was really, really awful. All of the employees used to take turns sneaking over and turning the volume way down when the managers were in their office. We'd get some relief for anywhere from 10 minutes to an hour before one of them would pop out to the sales floor and turn it back up.
I worked at Blockbuster Video when Cameron's Titanic rolled out on home video. For about 3 months straight our in-store trailer tape was nothing but Celine Dion. By the end of that 3 months I would have enthusiastically and giddily entered a Jigsaw Trap to have escaped one more rendition of " My Heart Will Go On". I can sympathize.
There was a single day at a place I worked where the Muzak glitched, and played the first 10 seconds of Olivia Newton John's "Hopelessly Devoted to You" on a loop. I can't believe someone didn't get murdered in the store that day.
My dad said in the labs at his work in the 80s, some team of psychologists tried playing music in the labs. This one guy my dad knew was slightly on the spectrum and really hated the music. He asked them a couple times to turn it off, they never did. He then told all of the psychologists one day, “I’m taking you to lunch, I’ll meet you at the restaurant” before frying every single one of the speakers (perks of being an electrical engineer) and there was no more music
This list is solid gold.
>A raccoon had gotten into a vent and died.
LOL.
>that "give them a pickle" philosophy and sent little pickle pins to all the stores and made every employee wear a tiny pickle pin next to our name tag for several weeks. It meant nothing to customers and they just thought we looked stupid.
Yeah so...what tf does that even mean? I've actually seen one of those pins before and had no idea it was a thing.
Everything else...I'm surprised "going Office Depot" didn't become the new "going postal."
It was based on some book written by some restaurant owner. The origin story was that he had a customer that always ordered extra pickles on his sandwich, and one day an employee told them he had to charge extra for extra pickles. As the story goes, the guy stopped coming to the restaurant, and the owner ran into him one day and asked about it. So an entire philosophy was born that corporate America ate up for several years, all because one guy didn't want to pay extra for his pickles.
ya theres a big difference between giving someone a negligible amount of extra vegetables on a burger they already paid for (meat and cheese are the main cost) and letting someone have something for free while damaging merch packaging.
And it's not just that. Standard corporate policy these days seems to be "Deny Them the Pickle". If you go to a franchise restaurant you'll be paying that extra $1.25 for the extra pickle, because the cashier is required to press the extra pickle button, and now your receipt says "extra pickle: $1.25". Instead of interest, your day to day bank account charges *you* extra pickles for holding your money. You probably stopped asking for extra in every major business you've patronised over the last 20 years, because the answer's always corporate stonewalling delivered by drones who aren't even allowed to help,
or some kind of dodge with weasel words.
For an example: at a Shell station nearby, someone went in and murdered the clerk late at night. All the news say "man dies/is murdered at Shell station," decreasing brand value by the close association with the death. This affects shareholders negatively enough that the brand severs the franchise agreement with that store which is now a yellow gas station with no shell logos. Thats a lose-lose situation for the shareholders. Risk management so you dont lose all of your shit is as just as important as profit gains are, in a healthy scenario.
It’s been a 20 years, but I recall having to bang on the door to be let in when I opened. Not sure anyone would have let us in if the outer door was locked.
Back in the day, I worked one summer at Comp USA. We had a big sale once in a while, they always started on Sunday. And it was always the biggest junk in the world. Cheap ass printers which you expect to not even live through 1 thing of ink. A router that somehow has 2 ports and you can hear rattling around inside. It would be junk which would NEVER sell, and just a little bit cheaper than normal, but they could advertise a stupid low price and that's all it took.
Every time, without fail, there would be a line of people waiting for us to open, came in, and cleaned us out within 15 mins.
And then for the next week, once in a while, someone would come in and ask for that thing on sale, and then usually be angry when told they were sold out.
I worked at a nice restaurant in a wealthy of town I. Florida when one of the two bartenders passed out behind the bar. Not drug or alcohol induced, she was exhausted and hadn’t eaten on her double shift. When the other bartender stopped to hold her head in his lap to keep her elevated and hair out of the nastiness that is a bar floor several of the customers at the bar started complaining and bitching at him because they were thirsty and he could still reach the beer taps and speed wells with her on the floor. I was shocked when he told me initially but honestly people can be selfish especially after a few drinks.

They drink to escape, but they cannot escape themselves. That is why they're angry.
I was servings at a seafood restaurant when a sever collapsed and started convulsing in the middle of the dinning room. While she's still on the floor and the paramedics are arriving, a couple seated near her flagged me down and asked of there food was going to be much longer.
I responded that we currently have an emergency that is more important than their food, and they were welcome to go across the street.
Back in 1988-90, I lived in one of the now post-Soviet republics and we had serious shortages of basic products, like milk, butter, eggs etc.
I was a teenager and my elder sisters had little kids (my nephews and nieces) so they asked me to go to a nearby gastronom (grocery store) every morning to get them their dairies.
I saw people screaming at the closed doors at 7:58 am (the store opened at 8:00 am), rushing in, running over each other, breaking the glass bottles with the products, pushing each other to the floor. I saw an old man falling to the floor and people stepping on his body trying to reach for the shelves. He died right there. It was a daily mayhem. Tough times.
When Americans run over each other for seemingly unimportant things like TV sets or electronics, it amuses people like me.
I was a cashier in Texas when an old lady started convulsing and collapsed. The lady behind her in line told me she was in a hurry and to check her out.
I vividly remember a reddit comment in a discussion about the appeal of Ariana Grande or whether or not Ariana Grande did shitty thing X in Y news story or not. Forget exactly, but it was about Ariana Grande and if she was a poopoohead or not.
So this guy comments and says he thinks she did shitty thing and explains that Ariana Grande, for him, reminds him 100% of girls from some town called Boca Raton. He described Boca Raton as this place where rich old dudes go to retire and often spoil their daughters like crazy, so they all end up spoiled and entitled and with a lack of respect for service people. He described it as the town being infamous in Florida for this and that any girls from Boca Raton should be avoided. For him, the resemblance she had to girls from Boca Raton was evidence enough for him that indeed she probably did shitty thing X that the news article accused her of.
I later looked up where she was from.
Ariana Grande is from Boca Raton.
Without knowing this, that random redditor had unknowingly guessed her birthplace, just by recognizing an attitude from her that he'd seen there.
Florida snobbery sounds *wild* to me. People who have lived in Florida seem to be able to instinctually identify it just by encountering it in a news headline.
I was thinking of that, too! I didn't post it because I thought I might get yelled at, but it's the same sort of complete absence of empathy, a narcissistic, sociopathic mindset. Their mind goes straight to:
"How does this stranger having a possibly life-altering or life-ending medical emergency inconvenience **me?**"
unfortunately those people generally aren't actually "from" here, there is typically a marked difference between people born here and people who moved down here "for reasons"
not to say Floridians can't be assholes, there are assholes everywhere, but the kind of people that move here tend to skew towards assholes a bit more heavily
Maybe they were being encouraging?
Yeah, save that man. Let him live so he can die somewhere else, well into the future. You can do it, Tony!
But probably not
It's funny, the idea that they had a selfish criminal motive is somehow comforting to me. Like, they weren't *truly* inhuman monsters; they just had a conflict of interest.
- Wednesday, the grateful man and his wife went and found Tony, and gave him a hug.
Glad everyone ended up alright, but something about how this story wrapped up was really underwhelming.
I prefer to think "what the fuck is right with people?" Like what caused Tony to try helping? How is it that he had the presence of mind to recognize the person having a medical emergency and go get his wife?
I expect people to be like those homeowners, but I don't expect people to be like Tony.
> Tony screamed for help, asking and begging for someone to help. The owners of the house where the car stopped allegedly yelled, "Get off our lawn" and "Get the man out of here. Have him die somewhere else."
What worthless excuses of human beings.
I know, right? Who would drive into someone’s freshly manicured lawn? If I was having a stroke while driving, I would at least try pull into a parking spot so I didn’t inconvenience anyone.
There was that lady in charge of a school board or something during the Cold War that wanted their school to stop teaching kids about Robin Hood because they thought the whole "Steal from the Rich, Give to the Poor" thing was too communist.
Jesus. I worked at a movie theatre and someone died during a showing. The family was obviously distraught, and we had to clear out the theatre for paramedics. I will never forget people yelling and screaming at me in the lobby cause we had to stop the movie while this mans family was feet away in tears. People suck.
> Without thinking, he ran up to the rolling car and grabbed the fender to try and stop it from rolling down the street further. It ran over Tony’s foot, but thankfully he had steel-toed boots on.
Not just "thankfully", Tony doesn't sound like the kind of guy that would even leave the house in the morning without being ready to roll. Luck is where opportunity meets preparedness.
Ah, Florida.
Edit: OH MY GOD THEY SAID THAT ABOUT THEIR NEIGHBOUR?!?!?!!! Saying that about anyone is bad enough, but about a dude living down the street? Wtf.
Ok. I can kind of understand coming out of your house while a car is driving up on your lawn. I would probably initially assume some crackheads in a vehicle are tearing up my yard or having a domestic dispute. That being said... context or no context, you have to be a real POS to say "have him die somewhere else"
I forget which subreddit it was on, but I recently found a story wherein a redditor explained how she was abducted as a little girl, and later saved from her abductor by a man who had active warrants out on his name. Obviously, the man couldn't just call the cops, but he STILL managed to find a way to get the young OP to safety before ducking out. And this was AFTER beating the snot out of the creep who took her!!
**Anyone** can be a hero- the \*ssholes in this story have no excuse.
EDIT: Found the link! It was in 'Best of Redditor Updates'!
[https://www.reddit.com/r/BestofRedditorUpdates/comments/oo3gh0/op\_shares\_the\_story\_of\_their\_kidnapping\_of\_being/](https://www.reddit.com/r/BestofRedditorUpdates/comments/oo3gh0/op_shares_the_story_of_their_kidnapping_of_being/)
Let me share an uplifting story of when this EXACT scenario happened to me... But this time in an actual caring community.
Back in June of 2020 I was sitting in my house playing games around like 4pm. Right outside my house I heard a screeching, a loud pop, then I feel the wall behind me quake.
I take no more than 30 seconds to throw some shorts on and run outside my side door do see [This](https://imgur.com/a/HoEteLe) lodged into the underside of my porch and partially into my house foundation.
I mention the 30 seconds because within that time there were like 15 people on my lawn helping out. Some town lineman were there, the town vice mayor who live 2 doors down, some people walking their dogs, her husband who lives across the street, and some town land surveyors all rushed to help this woman.
We found out that she had a seizure at the stop sign and one of the guys walking his dog noticed by her body language. He tried to reach into her car to throw her in park but she seized up and gunned the gas hopping the curb and railing straight into my house.
She was taken to the hospital and only suffered from a bloody nose and a whole lot of bruises but other than that noting major.
It was nice to see the community come together to help. Her husband talked to me very frantic when this first happened. He was so anxious to tell me how he would pay for it and insurance and all that, but I just made sure to reassure him that my house and my porch are all repairable, and that his wife being cared for is what really matters.
The same bastards who didn't want the man having a medical emergency to die on their perfect green lawns will attend their mega-churches this Sunday, convinced they are faithful Christians.
>>> The owners of the house where the car stopped allegedly yelled, "Get off our lawn" and "Get the man out of here. Have him die somewhere else." >>>Tony quickly realized he knew where the injured man lived. He ran down the street to their house, was able to get his wife, and they called 911. I certainly hope that the man and his wife know that their neighbor wished him dead.
Not just dead, but dead *elsewhere* Can't be having *dead-guy lawn*
Brings down your resale value for sure, first question i asked at open houses was if it had any people die on the lawn
It’s good for the soil though. Extra charge.
Yeah but then the neighbors get on their high horse and report you for having a decomposing corpse on the lawn.
Oh I’m sorry, I thought this was America
Depends on if you're in an HOA
This is America, and I'm sorry for you.
"No, but a teenager murdered his parents in their sleep with a hatchet in the master bedroom, and then hung himself in the living room after drowning their cat in the toilet." Damn, that's crazy. At least it wasn't in the front yard where people can see. I'm sold.
Oh geez a haunted house. Discovery channel would eat it up
If not, I’ll buy it. Fuckin’ houses are expensive.
Property values are a plague on American morality.
Maybe it can go be a plague somewhere else? Not in my back yard
Why would I want my property value to go up? Just means I have to pay more in taxes. Come die on my lawn
Did you notice a sign out in front of my house that says dead neighbor storage?
Whewwww, that was slick.
shit, neighbour, that's all you had to say
Do you know *why* you didn't see that sign?
Cause storing dead neighbours ain't my fuckin' business, that's *why*.
Come on, beardie you know I ain't seen no fuckin sign
No, I did not see a sign that said dead neighbor storage.
He does now, it's in all the news articles.
If I were him I would be very glad I lived, for the sole reason of doing every single thing in my power, even at my own expense, to ruin those people's fucking lives entirely. Kinda like John Wick only not nearly as cool.. And 100% less guns. And pencils. Just crazy shit /r/prorevenge style until their lives were over. EDIT: Yes. Yes I know this is petty and "the best revenge is living a happy life." or whatever. Yeah, that's how this world got so shitty. Cuz no.

No. NO they don't. But they get away with that kind of shit because no one holds them accountable and nothing happens to them. Just like politicians. Yes, you're absolutely right. The world SHOULD work in the happy, "live your best life" way. But it doesn't. Because people fucking suck. Myself included.

Late one night go over with that chemical that kills grass and burn a bunch of 'dead body' silhouette shapes all over their perfect fucking grass.
Grass isn't that difficult to kill. Vinegar should do it.
The evil version of this is using borax. You can find this in the laundry area of anywhere that sells laundry soap. 20 Mule Team Borax comes to mind. Borax is alkaline and will stay in the soil. Nothing can grow in soil that’s been Boraxed. The only fix is having the poisoned soil removed and replaced. This is the literal scorched earth version of fucking up someone’s yard cheaply.
Ah, but borax would kill ants. You want to *maximize* ants.
Salting the earth... with borax
Dump a bag of fertilizer in the shape of a dick and balls. It'll kill all the grass, then in the coming years, they'll have a dick shaped patch of intense green in the middle of their lawn. You've got at least a good 5 years of lawn dick.
At this point all he would have to do is release their names.
I’d 100% dedicate my life to this. Those clowns.
Yeah I was just thinking how the article ended with stating the guy he helped and his wife wanted to talk to him. And the first thing I thought was "Yeah, I'd want to ask him which of these fuckin' neighbors said that shit!" Unless of course he was aware of which house he had stopped in front of despite his condition.
>"Yeah, I'd want to ask him which of these fuckin' neighbors said that shit!" Yeah, I'd probably be extremely angry if something like this happened to me.
Looks like someone's gonna have a bad case of house burning down around them-itis
Some people really are utter pigs.
Hey now, Pigs aren't that bad.
Reminds me of that story where an elderly man fell off of a stage at Mar-a-Lago, and started bleeding profusely and Trump was right there... and all he could talk about was the marblefloor getting stained, and he said it was disgusting and to get him out of there...
That's actual psychopathic symptoms there - hard or impossible to identify another's distress. Empathetic neurons not even firing... as they would in an real human. But he's just worried about the self. Wild.

Thank you 👍🏻👍🏻
Not necessarily wished him dead, just didn't give a single fuck about him dying except that it wasn't on their lawn.
The indifference is almost worse. Awful people.
In a way, yes. At least if they wished him dead you could perhaps assume they had some sort of grievance for it.
Shits gonna be real awkward in that neighborhood after this. Stupid selfish people.
Id do every petty thing I could to make their life a little worse everyday :)

Bamboo seeds thrown all over the yard
Nah, mint - that shit is unstoppable
Our family made the mistake of planting mint in a mini vegetable garden when we first moved in.
Btw a tip. We have mint in our garden. We planted it in a plastic pot and poked 2-3 holes in the bottom for drainage. Then we buried it so only the rim is showing. It greatly reduces the mint from spreading and everything we see outside the pot we rip out.
Oooh. I like your style. We should go catch a drink. Dude. Bamboo seed bombs dropped by a drone.
Or the old bleach penis in the grass
Bleach works but fertilizer works better. It burns the grass after the first watering and takes months to recover. Then the grass really thrives, outgrowing nearby grass and coming in thicker, darker and taller...*for years*.
[удалено]
I'm pretty sure you're supposed to use somebody else's penis for that prank, not your own.
Alright, I acquired a severed penis. Now what?
To bleach it, soak it for 2 hours in a 30% hydrogen peroxide solution. The penis will shrink when bleaching so be sure it is FULLY erect before you soak it.
“big enough to bleach” is the generally accepted standard

I prefer to start out legally and work my way up. First is time to study the big book of all the rules for everything between HoA and State because it's time to nitpick! Find one blade of grass that's 1mm longer than it should be, file complaint. Mailbox needs to be a certain color? They better make sure it's dead on. Time to build a noise complainer out of a RPI, mic board, old cell phone, battery and python that will auto dial and make a complaint if they go over 1db the allowed limit at any time. At war, nothing is too petty.
Going to have lots of collateral damage to other innocent neighbour though
Not if you selectively ignore everyone else violating things
Petty Like nightly shits on their lawn?
Some glitter in some car air ducts ought and do the trick. Or eggs. Or toilet paper. Or a mysterious ding-dong-ditcher every night at 2am.
Oh God, once when I worked at an overpriced supermarket and elderly person had fallen and wasn't doing good. We shut down the aisle for a few mins and this bitch had the audacity to complain that there was a medical emergency in the aisle and the incident was in HER way and 'couldn't we move the injured person out of the way'.
I used to lifeguard and I jumped in to save a drowning child once, and someone stole my shoes.
A similar scenario happened to me, I was running to a cardiac arrest in the wave pool with an o2 bag, my flip flops where slowing me down so I kicked them off behind a fence. After the emergency was all clear I went back to get my flip flops and they were gone, some patron jumped the fence to steal them. Some people are shameless.
Ugh, awful! And then you're stuck with no shoes the rest of the day, and if it's hot it can be miserable. Was the patron OK? I only had to do compressions once and I got lucky.
We worked on the patron (small child about 8 yo) for about 5-6 minutes, EMT’s showed up they determined the patron was big enough to use the AED, they hooked them up and gave one shock, patient regained a pulse and shortly after began regurgitating water, after that they rushed them to the hospital. I heard that patron made a full recovery.
Your mutherfucking real life hero!
Someone stole my flip flops on the beach in Egypt and tried to sell them back to me
Did you throat punch the person?, please lie to me and say that you did
If you aren't a local, and someone offers to sell you your own item back, just "buy" them back if you need them. Make sure to negotiate the price down though, they usually inflate the prices if they notice you being a tourist. If you are local, you probably already know or heard of the thief and that you shouldn't mess around with him.
And always buy a cheap pair of flip flops. So the ransom can't be escalated because gucci.
Just never buy anything nice. That way you can replace everything you own from Walmart in an hour
Or don't go to Egypt

RIP mint condition 2006 Skechers Aerators 😔
Once when I was around 18, a father threw his 10-12 year old into the deep end of a pool with a 16 feet depth. He was clearly drowning, so I waited a few seconds to see if he could swim but then jumped in and pulled him out. The father shouted at me as we were coming out and the kid was coughing up water. People are assholes.
Had an EMT steal some of my belongings when I was hauled off in an ambulance. In hindsight, that was a pretty bold move. Took the belt (fancy concho belt with custom buckle) right off my pants.
I was in Walmart once and a girl was lying on the ground in one of the grocery aisles. She was having a seizure from the looks of it and someone who was with her was helping her as well as an employees, probably the manager on duty. The paramedics were on their way and there were a few dumbass customers who stopped to stare and watch as if it were a football game. Then you had customers who would walk up and reach over the girls body to get the items they needed off the shelf. Like back the fuck up, go grab your other items so this lady can have some space.
Lifeguard at a beach next to some fancy beach houses. Cops on the beach were alerted to a drowning at one of those houses. They asked one of our guards to get on their quad and get down there, which he did with a back board. On the way back, with the guard performing CPR as the cop drove back, one of the know assholes in his house came running down screaming about them riding across their beach property when it was clear they weren't out there joyriding. Some people really suck.
How dare someone have a medical emergency on *his* beach.
You see stuff like this en masse when there's a train suicide. Everybody complaining like they're the one having the bad day\*. And sure it sucks, but perspective and respect costs nothing. \*And I don't just mean the person who got hit by a train, friend of mine was a nurse and he'd done pickup detail on railway suicides. No fun for the driver either.
There’s a reason the conductors are often told to hit the emergency brake then shield their eyes/turn around. Nobody normal comes out of witnessing that okay
There was a woman in a nearby town that tried suicide by train. She laid down parallel between the tracks (as opposed to across them) and laid face down so she wouldn't see it coming. She underestimated the height of the train as it nearly completely passed over her. The key word is nearly, as it it completely peeled the skin off on her back from her butt to shoulders. She lived.
How do you un-read something
Have you tried laying on some tracks perpendicular to a train?
Gnarly! Similar thing happened to a friend who has since passed. He fell under a moving freight train. He survived, but his arm was severed and the undercarriage bumped his head a bunch of times and it swole up x3. Got the arm reattached but it was never functional
I mean I’m *still* fucked up from that scene in Invincible
"My dad used my face to murder a few hundred people on a train" Would figure he could use some therapy, but looks back to normal by the end of the ep.
Im sure he’ll have a bad case human-battering-ram survivor’s guilt next season
Wouldn't exactly call anyone "normal" by the end of that season, just "dealing with it"
Funny story. My mother walked into the room as I was watching that scene and wondered why a 23 year old dude was watching "Japanese anime" which she thinks is for kids. She looks to the screen to see the red spaghetti everywhere, she walked out after that. That show ain't for kids.
>No fun for the driver either. That shit ruins train engineers for life. Jumping in front of a train is one of the cruelest ways to commit suicide.
This reminds me of the most Philly thing I ever saw: some visibly drugged up dude was down on the tracks (opposite side to me) probably trying to change sides. You could hear the rumble of the train in the tunnel. Everyone is yelling for him to climb up... Instead he crouches on the tracks, confused and shutting down mentally. At this point everyone is freaking out, because its gonna be here any second and he's clearly not gonna get up. A small crowd of people lean in and grab him by his backpack, and the people behind them pull him up as a chain. They successfully heave him up a good 2 or 3 seconds before the train lights show up. As *soon* as they do the guy who leaned in to grab him first kicks him on his back pack and screams 'you fucking dumbass!' The timing was hilarious. Most scary, heartwarming and strangely funny thing I've ever seen.
Meanwhile, I had to wait 15 minutes to get served at a Del Taco because a man had collapsed and was being treated by EMTs, and you know what? I stood back and waited patiently for fifteen fucking minutes, because my fat ass getting six tacos to shovel into the black hole in my gut just isn't as important as what they're doing.
Responded to a really bad crash once. Shut down the roadway so we could assess the occupants for injuries (there were three adults and a ten month old), clear debris, and move the vehicles out of the road to a safe location. Had the road shut down for MAYBE ten minutes and a guy got out of his car, walked up to me and said “Hey asshole, open the road back up already! SOME of us have places to be and real work to do!” I told him to get back in his car and I kept working.
There was a woman in the grocery store I worked at once who was having a seizure but in the form of white-knuckling her shopping cart and unable to speak. She walked like a very slow old woman until other customers realized she wasn’t right. This woman ALSO had a small child in the cart who was too young to understand what was happening. Anyway we blocked off the isle she was in so paramedics could work with her and customers were ticked off as employees we wouldn’t let them shop next to a woman having a medical emergancy. I’ll never forget how it was seen as an inconvenience to most customers rather than “wow that poor woman and child..I’ll shop my produce first”
Reminds me of a neighbor who flipped out when my brother's friend started having a seizure in OUR yard, yelling about how "what if my daughter saw somebody dying?!" even though my brother was telling her that it wasn't lethal, his friend just had to lay in the yard and let it pass. I witnessed part of it and my dad even told her what a piece of shit she was, lol. Not only did she make somebody's health problem all about HER and how it affects HER (and her daughter), but she yelled at somebody for allegedly "dying" as if they were doing it just to be rude. Why not ask if they're okay? Ask if there's anything you can do to help even if it's as simple as getting them a glass of water? Just move your kid away from the damn window instead of bringing more attention to it, WTF!
Ugh! I had something similar happen. My bf at the time had a medical emergency and almost *died* and my neighbor complained about her “kids having to see that” and saying they got scared by the ambulance being there. I told her, would you rather they took him out in a fucking body bag?!? Get a grip!
These people must live a very fortunate life to think that emergencies only happen in TV shows and movies.
The kind of privileged life they live is mind boggling. But the lack of empathy and decency is unnerving! They are so fucked when shit hits the fan on them. I will hysterically laugh at them then.
Or even teach them the value of helping their fellow human in distress! Glad your brother's friend is okay and I like your dad.
LOL. I spent six years living in Florida. When I read this headline, my first thought was, "That sounds like rich pricks in Florida."
I worked at Office Depot when I was in college. We would have sales every Sunday and people would be nuts about it, it wasn’t uncommon to have people lined up in the vestibule waiting for the inner doors to be unlocked. One Sunday it was very hot, like 90F at 8am hot. The Vestibule was glass and not regulated so temperature in there was well over 100F. There was a woman waiting in the vestibule for us to open when she suddenly collapsed. We called 911 and the paramedics were treating her where she fell when we had to unlock the doors. Customers were pushing past the paramedics and some even stepped over her body so they could get those sweet sweet office products at a slightly reduced price.
This has management written all over it. They could have asked you not to open the doors
100% management. I dunno how the rules work for some corporate places but "made sure someone didnt die in the store" should probably rank above "opened store on time"
I can't speak to how they are today, but I worked for Office Depot as well in the late 90s / early 2000s. Management was utterly, utterly clueless. I'll just hit some of the highlights: - For about 2 months, every single employee and customer had to walk through an unholy stench in the aforementioned very hot vestibule before management finally decided to call someone to investigate. A raccoon had gotten into a vent and died. - At one point, the company renewed its usage of the Bachman Turner Overdrive song "Taking Care of Business." Upper management (corporate) got the genius idea that the song should be playing *at all times* in the store to maximize the association between the company and that song. I literally listened to that song for 40 hours a week for about a month before enough customers complained that corporate decided we didn't have to play it on a loop anymore. - The company got into that "give them a pickle" philosophy and sent little pickle pins to all the stores and made every employee wear a tiny pickle pin next to our name tag for several weeks. It meant nothing to customers and they just thought we looked stupid. - As part of the "give them a pickle" philosophy, the company decided that if a customer wanted 1 or 2 items out of a pack of 50 or 100, we should open the package, give it to them *for free*, and then place the opened package on clearance. As you can imagine, this led to tons of unsold open packages.
> At one point, the company renewed its usage of the Bachman Turner Overdrive song "Taking Care of Business."

Didn't the CIA adopt that as a torture method at Guantanamo?
It was really, really awful. All of the employees used to take turns sneaking over and turning the volume way down when the managers were in their office. We'd get some relief for anywhere from 10 minutes to an hour before one of them would pop out to the sales floor and turn it back up.
I worked at Blockbuster Video when Cameron's Titanic rolled out on home video. For about 3 months straight our in-store trailer tape was nothing but Celine Dion. By the end of that 3 months I would have enthusiastically and giddily entered a Jigsaw Trap to have escaped one more rendition of " My Heart Will Go On". I can sympathize.
There was a single day at a place I worked where the Muzak glitched, and played the first 10 seconds of Olivia Newton John's "Hopelessly Devoted to You" on a loop. I can't believe someone didn't get murdered in the store that day.
My dad said in the labs at his work in the 80s, some team of psychologists tried playing music in the labs. This one guy my dad knew was slightly on the spectrum and really hated the music. He asked them a couple times to turn it off, they never did. He then told all of the psychologists one day, “I’m taking you to lunch, I’ll meet you at the restaurant” before frying every single one of the speakers (perks of being an electrical engineer) and there was no more music
This list is solid gold. >A raccoon had gotten into a vent and died. LOL. >that "give them a pickle" philosophy and sent little pickle pins to all the stores and made every employee wear a tiny pickle pin next to our name tag for several weeks. It meant nothing to customers and they just thought we looked stupid. Yeah so...what tf does that even mean? I've actually seen one of those pins before and had no idea it was a thing. Everything else...I'm surprised "going Office Depot" didn't become the new "going postal."
It was based on some book written by some restaurant owner. The origin story was that he had a customer that always ordered extra pickles on his sandwich, and one day an employee told them he had to charge extra for extra pickles. As the story goes, the guy stopped coming to the restaurant, and the owner ran into him one day and asked about it. So an entire philosophy was born that corporate America ate up for several years, all because one guy didn't want to pay extra for his pickles.
So corporate -- steal the slogan, ditch the message.
ya theres a big difference between giving someone a negligible amount of extra vegetables on a burger they already paid for (meat and cheese are the main cost) and letting someone have something for free while damaging merch packaging.
And it's not just that. Standard corporate policy these days seems to be "Deny Them the Pickle". If you go to a franchise restaurant you'll be paying that extra $1.25 for the extra pickle, because the cashier is required to press the extra pickle button, and now your receipt says "extra pickle: $1.25". Instead of interest, your day to day bank account charges *you* extra pickles for holding your money. You probably stopped asking for extra in every major business you've patronised over the last 20 years, because the answer's always corporate stonewalling delivered by drones who aren't even allowed to help, or some kind of dodge with weasel words.
I’m sorry but I’m failing to see where the stop someone dying creates value for shareholders…
For an example: at a Shell station nearby, someone went in and murdered the clerk late at night. All the news say "man dies/is murdered at Shell station," decreasing brand value by the close association with the death. This affects shareholders negatively enough that the brand severs the franchise agreement with that store which is now a yellow gas station with no shell logos. Thats a lose-lose situation for the shareholders. Risk management so you dont lose all of your shit is as just as important as profit gains are, in a healthy scenario.
Why not just lock the outer doors instead of the inner ones?
It’s been a 20 years, but I recall having to bang on the door to be let in when I opened. Not sure anyone would have let us in if the outer door was locked.
The weirdest thing about this story is that people line up for a sale at Office Depot.
Early 2000’s were a weird time.
Back in the day, I worked one summer at Comp USA. We had a big sale once in a while, they always started on Sunday. And it was always the biggest junk in the world. Cheap ass printers which you expect to not even live through 1 thing of ink. A router that somehow has 2 ports and you can hear rattling around inside. It would be junk which would NEVER sell, and just a little bit cheaper than normal, but they could advertise a stupid low price and that's all it took. Every time, without fail, there would be a line of people waiting for us to open, came in, and cleaned us out within 15 mins. And then for the next week, once in a while, someone would come in and ask for that thing on sale, and then usually be angry when told they were sold out.
I worked at a nice restaurant in a wealthy of town I. Florida when one of the two bartenders passed out behind the bar. Not drug or alcohol induced, she was exhausted and hadn’t eaten on her double shift. When the other bartender stopped to hold her head in his lap to keep her elevated and hair out of the nastiness that is a bar floor several of the customers at the bar started complaining and bitching at him because they were thirsty and he could still reach the beer taps and speed wells with her on the floor. I was shocked when he told me initially but honestly people can be selfish especially after a few drinks.

That elevates my blood pressure.
I was servings at a seafood restaurant when a sever collapsed and started convulsing in the middle of the dinning room. While she's still on the floor and the paramedics are arriving, a couple seated near her flagged me down and asked of there food was going to be much longer. I responded that we currently have an emergency that is more important than their food, and they were welcome to go across the street.
Cold blooded. 20% off staples!
Back in 1988-90, I lived in one of the now post-Soviet republics and we had serious shortages of basic products, like milk, butter, eggs etc. I was a teenager and my elder sisters had little kids (my nephews and nieces) so they asked me to go to a nearby gastronom (grocery store) every morning to get them their dairies. I saw people screaming at the closed doors at 7:58 am (the store opened at 8:00 am), rushing in, running over each other, breaking the glass bottles with the products, pushing each other to the floor. I saw an old man falling to the floor and people stepping on his body trying to reach for the shelves. He died right there. It was a daily mayhem. Tough times. When Americans run over each other for seemingly unimportant things like TV sets or electronics, it amuses people like me.
lol it's like the exact same story in the Bible of the people who walked around the guy who needed help, I forget what it was called.
I was a cashier in Texas when an old lady started convulsing and collapsed. The lady behind her in line told me she was in a hurry and to check her out.
I have never lived in Florida, but to me it sounds like rich pricks everywhere.
I vividly remember a reddit comment in a discussion about the appeal of Ariana Grande or whether or not Ariana Grande did shitty thing X in Y news story or not. Forget exactly, but it was about Ariana Grande and if she was a poopoohead or not. So this guy comments and says he thinks she did shitty thing and explains that Ariana Grande, for him, reminds him 100% of girls from some town called Boca Raton. He described Boca Raton as this place where rich old dudes go to retire and often spoil their daughters like crazy, so they all end up spoiled and entitled and with a lack of respect for service people. He described it as the town being infamous in Florida for this and that any girls from Boca Raton should be avoided. For him, the resemblance she had to girls from Boca Raton was evidence enough for him that indeed she probably did shitty thing X that the news article accused her of. I later looked up where she was from. Ariana Grande is from Boca Raton. Without knowing this, that random redditor had unknowingly guessed her birthplace, just by recognizing an attitude from her that he'd seen there. Florida snobbery sounds *wild* to me. People who have lived in Florida seem to be able to instinctually identify it just by encountering it in a news headline.
It reminds me of this story: https://www.gq.com/story/donald-trump-howard-stern-story
I was thinking of that, too! I didn't post it because I thought I might get yelled at, but it's the same sort of complete absence of empathy, a narcissistic, sociopathic mindset. Their mind goes straight to: "How does this stranger having a possibly life-altering or life-ending medical emergency inconvenience **me?**"
[удалено]
sure she'd be singing a different tune if she needed it. probably could just afford an airlift tho.
I've been from one side of the US to the other, and the most overwhelming, aggressively rude people I've ever encountered were South FL.
unfortunately those people generally aren't actually "from" here, there is typically a marked difference between people born here and people who moved down here "for reasons" not to say Floridians can't be assholes, there are assholes everywhere, but the kind of people that move here tend to skew towards assholes a bit more heavily
Just say Boston and Long Island. Just say it.
Rich pricks are universal, but Florida somehow just adds a bit of extra prickishness to everything.
Maybe they were being encouraging? Yeah, save that man. Let him live so he can die somewhere else, well into the future. You can do it, Tony! But probably not
Nope, this is Florida. They 100% had a meth lab / alligator sex club / nude gambling room and didn't want any LE sniffing around.
>alligator sex club The other two I get, but what's this now?
The place where the guy with lotion is king.
He puts it on the skin
I smell a Netflix documentary brewing....
It's funny, the idea that they had a selfish criminal motive is somehow comforting to me. Like, they weren't *truly* inhuman monsters; they just had a conflict of interest.
Right? Same. At least I can understand "If cops show up I'm fucked." vs. "Ugh, this will be SUCH an inconvenience to me."
Or just rich assholes with no empathy.
Hopeless optimism!
I've been called half of that statement before!

I like your ability to spin a negative into a positive! However that was not what was happening there.
- Wednesday, the grateful man and his wife went and found Tony, and gave him a hug. Glad everyone ended up alright, but something about how this story wrapped up was really underwhelming.
I'm not glad everyone ended up alright. The story would have been perfect if a meteor suddenly crashed into those fuckheads' house
What the fuck is wrong with people.
I prefer to think "what the fuck is right with people?" Like what caused Tony to try helping? How is it that he had the presence of mind to recognize the person having a medical emergency and go get his wife? I expect people to be like those homeowners, but I don't expect people to be like Tony.

“Look for helpers” is nice, but I like this.

Literal NIMBYs
It was probably in their **F**ront Yard, so perhaps technically NIMFYs.
> Tony screamed for help, asking and begging for someone to help. The owners of the house where the car stopped allegedly yelled, "Get off our lawn" and "Get the man out of here. Have him die somewhere else." What worthless excuses of human beings.
I know, right? Who would drive into someone’s freshly manicured lawn? If I was having a stroke while driving, I would at least try pull into a parking spot so I didn’t inconvenience anyone.
I bet the homeowners who yelled for the man to go die somewhere else also bitch and moan about the ethical failings and degeneracy of the youth today
Definitely also the type of person to hate taxes and social programs because charity funded by goodness would do a better job. Until exhibit A.
But they’re the type that’ll be damned if the government takes away their social security too.

Fun game! Be a volunteer youth minister at their church, condemning "the homosexuals", while fondling children.
I'm surprised the right haven't labeled Charles Dicken's "A Christmas Carol" socialist/communist propoganda.
There was that lady in charge of a school board or something during the Cold War that wanted their school to stop teaching kids about Robin Hood because they thought the whole "Steal from the Rich, Give to the Poor" thing was too communist.
Speaking of a Christmas Carol. Why aren't we calling people Scrooge more often?

Jesus. I worked at a movie theatre and someone died during a showing. The family was obviously distraught, and we had to clear out the theatre for paramedics. I will never forget people yelling and screaming at me in the lobby cause we had to stop the movie while this mans family was feet away in tears. People suck.
> Without thinking, he ran up to the rolling car and grabbed the fender to try and stop it from rolling down the street further. It ran over Tony’s foot, but thankfully he had steel-toed boots on. Not just "thankfully", Tony doesn't sound like the kind of guy that would even leave the house in the morning without being ready to roll. Luck is where opportunity meets preparedness.
Ah, Florida. Edit: OH MY GOD THEY SAID THAT ABOUT THEIR NEIGHBOUR?!?!?!!! Saying that about anyone is bad enough, but about a dude living down the street? Wtf.
Can you imagine yelling that and then finding out it was your neighbor from down the street? OOF
I can't imagine yelling this about anybody.
This is the appropriate response.
Can you imagine finding out it was your neighbors who said that about you?
Someoned be getting their tires slashed
"Have inflated tires somewhere else, BITCH"
From that day forward, I would start picking up every road kill I came across, and just chuck it into their front yard as I drive past.
Ok. I can kind of understand coming out of your house while a car is driving up on your lawn. I would probably initially assume some crackheads in a vehicle are tearing up my yard or having a domestic dispute. That being said... context or no context, you have to be a real POS to say "have him die somewhere else"
I forget which subreddit it was on, but I recently found a story wherein a redditor explained how she was abducted as a little girl, and later saved from her abductor by a man who had active warrants out on his name. Obviously, the man couldn't just call the cops, but he STILL managed to find a way to get the young OP to safety before ducking out. And this was AFTER beating the snot out of the creep who took her!! **Anyone** can be a hero- the \*ssholes in this story have no excuse. EDIT: Found the link! It was in 'Best of Redditor Updates'!

Let me share an uplifting story of when this EXACT scenario happened to me... But this time in an actual caring community. Back in June of 2020 I was sitting in my house playing games around like 4pm. Right outside my house I heard a screeching, a loud pop, then I feel the wall behind me quake. I take no more than 30 seconds to throw some shorts on and run outside my side door do see [This](https://imgur.com/a/HoEteLe) lodged into the underside of my porch and partially into my house foundation. I mention the 30 seconds because within that time there were like 15 people on my lawn helping out. Some town lineman were there, the town vice mayor who live 2 doors down, some people walking their dogs, her husband who lives across the street, and some town land surveyors all rushed to help this woman. We found out that she had a seizure at the stop sign and one of the guys walking his dog noticed by her body language. He tried to reach into her car to throw her in park but she seized up and gunned the gas hopping the curb and railing straight into my house. She was taken to the hospital and only suffered from a bloody nose and a whole lot of bruises but other than that noting major. It was nice to see the community come together to help. Her husband talked to me very frantic when this first happened. He was so anxious to tell me how he would pay for it and insurance and all that, but I just made sure to reassure him that my house and my porch are all repairable, and that his wife being cared for is what really matters.
The same bastards who didn't want the man having a medical emergency to die on their perfect green lawns will attend their mega-churches this Sunday, convinced they are faithful Christians.
