Revenge Is Sweet | Reading Reddit Stories

- We're back with more insane Reddit stories, and today the theme is revenge. And there's a lot of good ones on Reddit. And today I'm joined by two people who love revenge, Amanda and Olivia. Olivia, you were in a movie with revenge as a theme. - Yes. Which the reason why I'm in it is because it is my life. (everyone laughs). - I knew that. I was like, this is so Olivia's life. - I'm always revenging, avenging, and venging.

- You're always out for blood. - Always. - [Shayne] Yeah. - You never go to bed. - Never. - [Shayne] No. - You just have revenge. - I am so tired and sleepy right now. - Oh, I know, I can tell. - From all the revenge I do. - You're the Batman of Smosh. We all say that. - Yes. - But hot. Well, Batman's hot. - Batman's really hot. - Batman's, wait, which Batman's really hot? - All of 'em. - All of 'em are hot. - Ben Affleck? - Hottie! - No. - I loved him when he spilled all those Dunkin coffees. (everyone laughs). - No.

- All right, well, let's just hop right into these revenge stories, shall we? - I'm so excited. - Okay. There's several different revenge Reddits, okay? The different rankings of revenge. So the first one we have is from petty revenge. - Ooh, okay. - "I faked proof that I had a flat tire. "so that the lazy people in my group project. "would have to do the presentations themselves, "therefore, likely will fail. "I'm in a class where a group research project/presentation.

"is a huge chunk of overall points. "Everyone knows in group projects you always have. "that one slacker who doesn't do anything. "that you have to compensate for. "However, I got stuck with possibly the three worst people. "to be in a project with in the class. "I did the entire research, presentation, poster boards, "et cetera, among many other annoying things myself. "I tried talking to them and telling them they needed. "to put in their share of effort. "Ignored. "I'd send them tasks to do. "Ignored. "I tried to schedule meetings. "They'd say they were coming. "and then leave me alone at the library.

"This happened from the get-go. "It was abundantly clear. "that they expected everyone else to do the work, "but everyone else turned out to be just me. "Rule, we couldn't have things 100% memorized word for word, "and we couldn't read off of anything. "We had to actually know the subject. "I was fully prepared to do most of the talking. "and even wrote down a small script for them. "and told them to know what to say during their part. "at the very least. "The night before, I told them we had to meet. "to at least go over the whole thing one time. "Once again, none of them showed.

"At this point, I'm livid. "and decide they can just do it themselves, "which means they'd get up there, "not know a damn thing to say. "other than the small info I gave them. "and couldn't even bull (beep) anything. "because they did no research. "Thing is if we miss without an excuse, we fail the project. "If you have an excuse, you have to have documentation. "I commute and live an hour away, "so I decide that I'll conveniently have a flat tire. "right before class. "Went out and actually bought a tire, "so I could have the receipt to prove it. "Emailed the professor who said I can present by myself.

"during his office hours. "Turns out they completely bombed. "and not only probably failed the project, "but since they're bad students, "might even make them fail the class.". It's edited to say, "The professor stated that at the beginning. "that they were not allowed to contact him. "about people slacking in the group. "and said to work it out amongst themselves, "said that we were adults. "and that he wouldn't even respond to emails about it.". Wow. All right. - Good lord. - That's a classic revenge story there,

'cause I'm sure that happens all the time. - I feel like that was like the plot of "Election.". The movie "Election" with Reese Witherspoon. - Oh my god. - And they were like, "No, this is too much. "We can't-". - [Shayne] We can't do this. - This is like a '90s movie. - I've never had to do a group project in my life. At least not in college or anything. - Oh, I have. - Actor kid. (Shayne laughs). - I have. And if your group sucks, it sucks. - That seems so unfair. Like, that's, it's just crazy that the teacher was like,

"I don't wanna hear about it.". - And the teacher always, I feel like that's always the case, is the teacher's like, "You guys are adults. "Figure it out.". And you're like, "But Melissa's asleep all the time.". (everyone laughs). Wow. - This is incredible. There's some comments here. "Did you end up presenting in his office later? "Did he say anything about their attempt?". "I presented yesterday. "He just told me good job and didn't mention their efforts.". Someone else said, "You gave him a presentation. "or he verbally quizzed you or what?". She said, or they said, "I gave a full presentation.

"I think he thought it'd be harder on students. "who missed even with an excuse. "because they'd get a second chance. "but have to present alone and know everything, "except jokes on him, I already did.". - I kind of love this person right now. - Yeah, I'm happy that this person was able to show up. and, you know, do their thing, like yeah. - And I would say they didn't necessarily, like, they didn't do anything mean to the other people. Like, it was a group project, everyone should have been able to do it on their own,

and they simply said, "Oh, I'm just-". - They just backed away and let the group burn. - Because if this had genuinely happened, this would've happened anyway. So it doesn't make a difference. They didn't go outta their way to hurt these other people. They just removed themselves from the situation. - Yeah. - I would love to know what happened next. Someone from the group was like, "Show me that receipt right now.". - It sounds like, I mean, they had the receipt. - Wait, wait, what's going on with the flat tire? - So they genuinely bought a tire.

so that they had a receipt of like, "I had to get a new tire because I,". so they didn't just lie. They actually had documentation because-. - Yeah, that part just feels... - Because they needed it. The teacher said, "I need documentation.". - That part feels strange a little bit. - Yeah, it's a bit much. - Yeah. - Like, they were like, "Oh, I can't wait to get in this group and watch them fail.". Like, it felt like they were just like-. - I guess, that's the one argument is like, they almost made, they inconvenienced themselves.

to have them fail. - And spent money. - And spent money, when-. - [Amanda] And time. - At the end of the day, it's no different for them. But I don't know. There's people, and I'm sure in the comments you can argue like, "Hey, these people didn't put in the work. "Do they deserve to pass on on your back?". Like-. - Did they pass? - No, they failed because they didn't, she didn't go and do the presentation with them, but whatever. I don't know. I think it's good petty revenge. This is overall small. - Yeah, I think it's small. - Like, if you're not gonna take the class seriously,

you can take it again or like-. - No one was hurt in the process, just maybe their egos. - And a tire. - I would've loved to know, yeah, and a tire. - Well, not really. - [Kimmy] Well, yeah, they didn't damage their tire. - They didn't damage the tire. They just bought a new one. - They just bought a new tire. They didn't actually. Now I thought she was about to go. and like actually puncture her own tire. Like, to have a photo of like, "Here's my flat tire.". But no, just bought a new tire to show, like, I bought a new one. - This person did more damage to themselves, to be honest, because they were up all night, like...

- Right, while the other three. weren't even thinking about it. - If I was in her position, I would've fantasized about doing that and not done it. - I could not have executed that. - But look, do I get a little bit of schadenfreude. from hearing this? Yeah. - Yeah. It probably felt really good. But then the teacher was like, "Yeah, good job. "Get out.". And she's like... - [Shayne] Yeah, teacher did not care. - Okay. - They put in so much work, they have an hour long commute. So it really, they, I will say this wasn't like they gave them no opportunities. This sounds like a lot of bending over backwards.

until finally caving. - Yeah, yeah, yeah. - So I get it. - They were ghosted at the library. - They're ghosting her. - I mean, this whole situation is really stressing me out. (Shayne laughs). - [Amanda] Did this happen to you? - [Shayne] I'm really stressed out. - No, I'm just like (groans). Like, I'm sorry this sucks for everyone. except the professor. - [Shayne] Yeah. - Oh, the professor had strong boundaries. Professor was like, "I'm not dealing with this.". - I just think the professor should be able to like, like I don't know. Like, don't tell your students like, "I don't wanna deal with this.".

- I don't like the concept. at least in college of group projects. - Yeah, like, get a life. Sorry. - I don't like that. I get it in high school because I think there's a lot of, I think there's a lot of stuff a group project can teach. and it does teach teamwork and stuff. - "Get a life, sorry.". Is this, like, are we in the '90s? Like, are we in a '90s movie right now? - [Shayne] This feels like a '90s movie. - Doesn't it? Did you guys watch "Election?". - No, I haven't seen. "Election." - Yeah. - Oh, Matthew Broderick and Reese Witherspoon. It's so intense. - I guess my main takeaway is like, in college,

people are spending a lot of money to take this class. - Yes. - It should be on them alone to pass it. - I agree. - I think making a group project, I think it's unfair. Like, these dynamics are gonna happen and that sucks. - I was thinking about that. and then I was playing devil's advocate saying, "Oh, maybe a group project will help, you know, "build strengths and-". - [Amanda] Communication. - [Shayne] I think that's good for high school. - Right! Not in college. By that time you should be able to know how to do this. - Exactly. - Exactly. (Olivia groans). Anyways, let's move on. - But even now, you know, even now.

- [Amanda] You are so stressed. - Even now, I've had experiences where I have to work, not here. - Where I have to work with people. that I don't wanna work with. - Okay, this is something. I don't need to talk about right now. Okay. - All right, let's move on to the next one. We got another petty revenge here. "You don't like your boyfriend seeing me braless. "in the dorm? "Then he won't.". I don't know where this is going. (everyone laughs). - [Amanda] Okay. - "I live in a college dorm on an all female floor. "I usually wear a bra if leaving the dorm building, "but I'm not going to put on a bra under my shirt.

"just to walk down the hall to the bathroom.". - Damn right. - "A few days ago, I left my room. "and walked 10 yards down the hall to the water fountain, "refilled my water bottle, and went back to my room. "I was wearing a white tank top and no bra. "The tank top was fitted, but not see through, "so you could only see the outline of my nips. "There was a small group of people hanging out. "in the hall outside of a few of the rooms, "but I didn't think much of it. "until around half an hour later when I got a knock. "on the door from one of the girls I had seen in the hall. "She said something to the effect of,

"'Hey, so sorry to ask this, "'but if you go out into the hall again, "'could you put a bra on? "'My boyfriend's out there. "'and he was staring a little, so...'". - What? - Oh my god. Get your mans, dude. - Get your man. - "I'm super non-confrontational, "so I was like, 'Yeah, sure, sorry about that.'. "And for the rest of that night anytime I left my room, "I put a bra or sweater on.". - No. - "And that was the end of it or so I thought. "The next day my roommate told me she'd overheard the girl. "telling a few of her friends about the incident. "while in the bathroom. "She said the girl was making it sound.

"like I had been purposefully trying. "to seduce her boyfriend, wearing basically nothing, "taking my time at the water fountain, "posing to push out my tits, the whole works. "When she left the bathroom, "my roommate said the girl was actually acting it out. "at the water fountain pretending to be me.". - Oh, I'm pissed. - "That night I passed the girl and some of her friends. "on my way to go brush my teeth. "I wasn't wearing a bra, I was already in pajamas. "The girl looked pointedly down at my chest. "and all of them started giggling.". (Olivia and Amanda gasp). "But the last straw was when the entire dorm got an email.

"from the RA yesterday saying she'd gotten. "some anonymous complaints. "about people dressing inappropriately in the hallways. "and asking that we all. "just make sure we're keeping things covered up. "So here's where I got my petty little revenge. "I knew that the girl's boyfriend. "doesn't go to college here. "The girl and I were in the same orientation group. "and chatted a bit back then. "I also knew that due to the pandemic, "we aren't allowed to have non-student family guests. "in the dorms this year.". (Amanda laughs). "So I used the same anonymous complaint form. "to issue a complaint.

"about people bring their off-campus boyfriends. "into our dorm and them not wearing a mask.". - That's right. - "Masks are mandatory in the hallways, "although not frequently enforced. "This morning, the RA emailed again. "saying that due to anonymous complaints, "they'd be enforcing the no off-campus guest rule. "by checking IDs of unfamiliar guests. "to make sure they were students from then on. "Really, this girl should be thanking me. "If she was concerned. "about her boyfriend seeing the vague outline of my tits. "in the dorm hallways, she no longer needs to worry.". (Amanda gasps). - This one gets me fired up.

- Yeah. - I am not okay with women shaming other women. - I know. - This made me so mad. Like, that is straight up bullying and shaming. That's why we can't wear bras anymore. Okay? - Also, I think there's a lot of deep rooted shame. and judgment and insecurity from the other girl. And she's not-. - [Shayne] Oh yeah. - And she doesn't know how to express it. And there's some issues between her and her boyfriend.

and some sort of mistrust, insecurity. And she's projecting it onto another woman. But hopefully she can learn and grow because that is-. - That's gonna cause her more pain in the future. if she thinks that women just being themselves. is affecting her relationship. and causing problems in her relationship. You have to look at your own relationship. - Yes. - Get your man out of there. - Look at your own relationship with women and men.

and your own body. and how you feel about other people's bodies. - Women should be bringing other women up. and like- - Up. - It's sad that she probably didn't say anything. to her boyfriend. Like, nothing that's like, "Hey, don't (beep) stare.". - No! She was probably like, "(gasps) you stared at her boobs? "It's the woman's fault.". - Yeah. - Yeah, meanwhile, he's over here like (pants). And she's just like, "Hey!". - His tongue's like... - "He can't help it.". - Awooga! She's like, "Babe. "Hey.". (Shayne laughs). - "Stop it!". - He's like, "Woo!". - Oh woo!

He can't help that he's a wolf from a Looney Tunes cartoon. in the '40s. (Amanda laughs). There's some comments. "I'm also pretty petty. "I have to tell you that before I got to the end, "I was thinking if it were me, "I would walk down the hall in my bra but with no shirt. "I mean, hey, it's wearing a bra, "which is technically what she asked for.". The OP responded. "Ha, if I had the confidence, I totally would have.". - That's funny. - Aw. - Someone else said, "I like how him looking at your tits. "somehow means you need to correct your behavior. "That bitch is nuts.". That's what they said.

- That bitch is nuts. - Someone else said, "Nipples through a shirt? "Next you'll tell us you regularly flash your ankles. "to nobility, you utter harlot.". - Okay, that person's pretty fun. (everyone laughs). That person's like, "I'm gonna have a fun joke with this.". - Oh yes, that's a very Reddit response right there. Yeah, insane. - I like that response. - Me too. - I think she was justified to go even further. with more revenge, but this was perfect. - It was perfect. - Perfect petty revenge. - What's hard is like they're in college. and in college you're just really figuring yourself out.

- [Shayne] Yeah, man. - But if that happened and she was in her 30s, she would've been like, "Excuse me? - [Olivia] Yeah. - [Shayne] Oh yeah. - She would've been like, "Sure, no problem.". And then just been topless, walking around getting water in the cooler, like "Morning. "Goodnight." - [Shayne] Oh yeah. - But in college it's so hard. Our brains are molded and we're all insecure, we're all figuring it out. But I just, I hate when women get other women to gang up. And that's specifically making fun of her body.

Straight up. Do you remember when Florence Pugh went out in that dress. and her nips were showing through. and people were commenting about it? - No. - Yeah, they were like just like being so harsh. about her nips and she's like, "Excuse me? "Like, what are we talking about?". It's why we have to like put, I was just talking about this the other day. I'm like, why can't I go without a bra? Well, I would get the cops called on me. But honestly, like, I just feel like it's like we've. just shamed women's bodies so much. If I could go so deep,

it's like we've shamed women's bodies. Like, there's no help for us to like be a woman. It's like tampons and pads. It's like, cover it up. Shut that down. - Even now, like we're being shamed. Always, constantly. Like, that's kind of always like the topic of discussion. is what this person-. - Yeah, I could see her nips. - Yeah, everything is. - I remember in like improv class, it was like, "Blah blah blah's not wearing a bra. "It was so distracting.". It's like-.

- What? - She has boobs! - It's especially crazy when you think about the tropes. over the years of all the college stories. of like dudes streaking and like whatever. And like, I feel like-. - [Amanda] Nobody cares. - A dude literally, I mean, 'cause you hear stories, like a dude can run across campus in college naked. and it's kinda like, "Haha. "Did you see what-". - "That guy's hilarious.". - "Did you see what Dave did? "He's such a legend.". And it's like, he's not, like guys do get much more of a pass for that. - And then a woman is literally. in the comfort of her home technically. She's in the comfort of her home getting water.

from the bubbler. Like, "Dee dee dee, I can't wait to stay hydrated. "I'm a good person.". And it's like, "You slut!". - I know. (Shayne laughs). - She's in the comfort of her home. - Yeah, like her boyfriend shouldn't be there. Like, leave. Get a life! (Amanda laughs). - [Shayne] Yeah. - Did you never bring your boyfriend to your college dorms? - I didn't really go to college, but-. - Oh, I did. - I went to my boyfriend's dorm and... - Everyone had their boyfriends in their dorms. and none of them had a problem with,

although I went to Western Mass, it was like nakey. - Well, let's move on. - Okay. - Okay. - This next one comes from malicious compliance. So malicious compliance is, in case you haven't heard, it's when someone like demands something of you, something (beep) or like gets on your case about something. and you comply with it-. - To be mean. - Yeah. Like-. - Like, you're not supposed to do that. Okay, I'm not supposed to do that. - Yeah, following the rules in a (beep) way, but in a professional way.

"Manager tries to crack down on dress code. "I respond by wearing yoga pants to work.". - Okay. - "So I'm a 34-year-old man and...". (Amanda laughs). "And I used to work at a popular convenience store. "Really popular with a cult-like following. "Chain years ago. "I've always been a bit of a clown, "but very good at following rules while doing so. "After working there a few years. "and seeing managers come and go, "we got a new woman who was just miserable. "and really wanted to flex her authority.

"Shortly after she started, "she posted the uniform portion of the handbook. "in the break room. "and started complaining about people's attire, "but clearly took the biggest issue. "with girls wearing yoga pants. "So me being the petty rule follower, "I combed through the policy. "and noticed some things in the wording. "The rules stated that yoga pants are allowed. "as long as the ankles flared. "and there was no gender designation for these articles. "Cue malicious compliance. "I and a friend went to Walmart after work. "and bought me a couple pairs of flared yoga pants.

"Now mind you, I'm not a huge guy, "but I am chubby and have a big beard.". (Amanda laughs). "I began wearing them almost every day I worked. "and especially if she was working. "This infuriated her. "I would regularly hear her protests. "and even saw her go to the AGM, assistant general manager, "and general manager. "Their response was always, 'I can't say anything. "'He's in dress code.'. "This continued for a month tops. "before she requested a transfer. "But what made it even more fun. "was trolling weird pervert customers.

"They would stand at the deli area. "and gawk at the young ladies working, "especially if they were bent over the hot food table. "When I would notice this, I would sidle over beside them. "and give the boys two butts to look at. "before whipping my head around. "and making eye contact with them. "The level of disgust on their face. "has filled my heart with joy.". (everyone laughs). Edit, "So I'm new to this whole Reddit thing. "and I didn't know how to edit for an update at first, "but the outpouring of positivity. "and support has been wonderful. "I do still own the yoga pants, "so the possibility of pics does exist.

"And unlike when I worked at Wawa, "my job is just more physical. "so I might fill them out better, LOL.". (Olivia laughs). That's awesome. - Oh. Isn't it crazy that when you were talking, I pictured this man having a huge beard? - Yeah. - I don't know why. I was like, this guy has a huge beard. - Oh, he said that eventually. - But even before he said that, I was like-. - Even before he said that. - This man just has a huge beard. - I love this man. I love this man. - What a champion. I love that. - I love him. - I've never understood, like I didn't understand it when I was in school,

'cause I think we did have weird dress code stuff. 'cause I was in Arizona and, you know, it's like the school district was weird. I've never understood like people. who freak out over what people are wearing. I've never comprehended it, especially to this degree. Like, you know, why is any boss freaking out. like on this level? - Also it's a convenience store, correct? - [Shayne] Yeah. - Let them wear yoga pants. - Yeah. - [Shayne] I don't get it. - No one wants to wear jeans in a convenience store. - I never walk into a convenience store. and think about what the worker's wearing.

- No. - You don't even see. 'cause usually they're behind a counter or something. - I just wanna know where the bananas are. - You get bananas at convenience stores? (laughs). - Well, what's a convenience store? - Like, a 7-Eleven or a Wawa. - Oh, sorry. - [Amanda] You don't. - Oh, I don't. - You get Gatorade. - Gatorade. I'm like, "Where's the Gatorade?". - Yeah, that's what I'm thinking. - The only thing I'm thinking about. when I walk into a convenience store. is where are the tall boys and I need five of 'em. (Amanda laughs). - Where are the Four Lokos? And I need five of them.

Oh, they're banned. - Give me a Four Loko. - Also like I think working in a convenience store, you can just wear whatever the F you want. No one's really, you're kind of like sitting. behind the cash register. - Exactly. I kind of hate that like the men are gawking at the women. in the yoga pants. But I love that he was like... - [Shayne] Yeah. - [Olivia] I love that too. - I can picture the whole thing. - "Come and get it, boys.". (Amanda laughs). - Where is this? Do we know? - Well, it's a Wawa so I'm assuming it's east coast. Some comments. "Not only were you maliciously compliant with the boss,

"but you were protecting your coworkers. "all with one fashion faux pas. "Good for you.". - Good for you. - Someone else said, "You bent over backwards to serve your customers. "I hope you made employee of the month.". - That's the same harlot person. - Yeah, that's the same guy. He's on a roll. He's scrolling. He's like, "Ooh. "Dale, you are killing it.". - [Amanda] Yeah. - Someone else said, "Couple years ago I got challenged. "on wearing shorts to work. "I don't work with any customers or vendors. "I was told the dress code said pants are required. "I asked about leggings and yoga pants, "as the girls in the office wear them daily.

"Yes, but those are pants. "Cue my wearing the most outrageously tight. "and poor taste yoga pants and leggings.". - What's wrong with yoga pants? - "I am a heavy man. "This was not a good look. "Manager in question took all of the week. "to okay my wearing shorts.". It's so funny. - What is wrong with wearing shorts, yoga pants? - I don't know, man. Some people just love-. - [Amanda] People get uncomfortable. - I think some people love controlling other people. is really what it is. - People love controlling. I also would really love to know what are flared yoga pants? - I have them. - Not the skinny ones. - It's like the bell bottoms.

- They're gonna slide up when you're doing downward dog. - Not really, no. Depends on how, well, mine flare around the ankle. Though I've never tried doing a downward dog with it on. No, it's, I'll wear it. I'll wear it for you. - Great. I cannot wait. - I'll bend over for you. (crew laughs). I cannot wait. - Did you guys ever have to deal with insane dress codes. at any place you worked or anything? - Yeah, like restaurants and bars. Very insane. And then at one point we all needed to get no slip shoes. They're the ugliest shoes you've ever seen in your life.

You're like, these are so ugly. - Yeah. - But then Vans actually makes. some really cool non-slip shoes, and those were really cool. And then a new manager came in and was like, "You can't wear Vans.". I was like, "Fight me! "Honestly (beep) fight me.". - [Shayne] Insane. - Yeah. I mean if you fell, that sucks for you. - I've definitely-. (Shayne laughs). But wait, there was a server. who was not wearing no-slip shoes (laughs). And I'm not gonna name him, but maybe Kimmy remembers.

He was walking and he slid. and he had so much food and it fell up in the air. and then he slammed his head on the railing. and was covered in blood. - Oh my god. - Covered in blood. - And he (beep) died. - He's covered in blood. No, he's alive and fine. He's covered in blood and like coming out with food. and he was like, "(beep) this place.". (Shayne laughs). - Oh no. - [Kimmy] He'd been working there for like 10 years. - Do you know who I'm talking about? - [Kimmy] Yeah. - Before we move on,

I wanna point out this awesome sweatshirt I'm wearing. It's at smosh.com now. You can get it. Overthink everything. - That's what I do every day. - Yeah, it's what we all do all the time. What's great is this is embroidered, so this is really nice. And it's got, it's got a nice little star here too. - [Amanda] Star wipe. - Which I really like. And on the back. You got a nice "Let's do this.". - [Amanda] Let's do this. - [Olivia] Let's overthink everything. - Malicious compliance, let's do this. (everyone laughs). - It's so cute. I love the star wipe sleeve. - I love it. - It's really nice. It's nice quality.

It's very comfy. - I love it. - It's a good color on you. - I need it. - Thank you. It also comes in gray. But this is like a nice peach, salmon. - Salmon, yeah. - Yeah, love this color. - Salmon, fishing salmon in the Yemen. - Yeah. - Moving on. (Amanda laughs). "Never touch your truck again? "You got it, neighbor.". - Oh god. - "I posted this on the Am I The Asshole sub, "but many people were saying it is malicious compliance. "and post it here too. "I am a 59-year-old man. "and live in a major city in Ontario, Canada. "I live in a small subdivision.

"and have five neighbors total on my street. "For the past few years during the winter. "when we're getting a lot of snow or bad storms, "as I'm leaving for my overnight shift. "at around 8:00 to 9:00 PM, "I'll put my wife's windshield wipers up on her car. "and do a quick walk around to my other five neighbors. "and put their windshield wipers up on their cars, "obviously not if they're outside or something, "but if it looks like they're in for the night. "Many of them forget to do this. "as many of them have children. "and it typically slips their mind. "and their wipers will be frozen to their car. "in the morning. "It's just something nice I like to do. "to look out for my neighbors.

"They're all always grateful for this and thank me for it. "Many of them started doing it too. "And there will be nights where I'll forget. "to put my and my wife's up. "and in the morning one of the neighbors has done it. "for us." - [Amanda] Cute. - This is typical Canadian behavior. - Yeah, exactly. - "Anyway, recently one of our neighbors moved. "and a new family moved in as of last week. "It's a young couple and their two young children. "The other night I was leaving for my overnight shift. "at around 9:00 PM. "It was snowing really heavily. "and we were supposed to be getting. "almost 30 centimeters of snow and it was freezing out.

"So I put my wife's wipers up. "and do my casual quick walk around to the other neighbors. "I was hesitant when I reached my new neighbor's house, "as I've only introduced myself once, but did it anyway. "As I was putting the second wiper up on their pickup truck, "the husband came charging out of his front door yelling, "'Hey, what the fuck are you doing to my truck?'. "I tried to explain to him I was just putting his wipers up. "to help him. "He continued to scream at me to, "'Get the hell off my property. "'and don't touch my (beep) again.'. "The wife then came out and started yelling at me too.

"I apologized and started walking away. "Some of my other neighbors heard the commotion, "came out to see what was happening. "They tried explaining to him too. "that it's just something we do. "Both of them weren't having it. "Fast forward to this morning, "I'm arriving home from my overnight shift. "and as I'm walking in, "I see the wife of this couple struggling outside. "to break the ice off the windshield wipers of the truck. "Guess she was trying to take her kids to school. "and the wipers were frozen solid on the car. "She sees me and yells over,

"'Hey there, do you mind giving me a hand please?'. "I looked over to her and yelled back, 'No, sorry. "'Thought I was never to touch your (beep) again, ma'am.'. "And walked back inside. "She yelled back at me, 'Wow, asshole!'". - What? - "Told my wife about this. "She thinks I should have helped her. "because she was just trying to get her kids to school. "I disagree as I was just following what they told me.". Yeah. - Yikes. - Here's what I think. I agree with the wife. I think that actually he would've been the hero. in that scenario if he went over and helped and went,

"And this is what I was trying to do last night, "so you wouldn't have to deal with that.". And then he just walked away, mic drop. - Yeah, you know, this is where I agree. For me in my mindset, if I'm him, I'm not thinking about what people deserve. or what's like right. 'Cause I'm like, he's justified. He's justified. - [Amanda] Yes, yes, yes. - But these are your neighbors. and you have to live next to them for potentially years. You wanna start that rivalry, you wanna keep that going? Cool. But that would've been an opportunity to be like,

all right, things are gonna be easier from here on out. They're assholes. - They're assholes. - But you're not gonna have to deal with as much (beep). from them if you like give this olive branch. It's not, like I said, do they deserve it? No. But it's gonna make your life easier. - But be the better man. And then the wife can go tell the husband and like, "We should really go over there and apologize.". - "He ended up, like he was right and he's so kind. "even though we were jerks to him.". Like, I think it's a more of a killing them. with kindness situation.

- Yes. - I'm just overall confused. because I thought Canadians were supposed to be nice. - We don't know where these neighbors moved from. And I will say, for a lot of places, you know, if you saw someone messing with your car, you would freak out. And I don't think the guy's an asshole. for coming out yelling if he saw someone touching his car. - Right. - I think there's. always a nicer way to say things to people that you don't, if they're something that you don't like, you don't have to scream at them. That's just rude. - For sure. Where I think they became the asshole. is when all the other neighbors came out. and they were like, "Hey, this is something we all do.".

And they established like, "Hey, we all in this neighborhood, "he's not actually doing anything to your car. "Everything's fine.". But they still wouldn't let it up. - I think what's really hard is that human beings, when they go so hard into something, it's very hard for them to go, "You're right. "Actually, I'm sorry.". So he was probably fuming for a while, and then he was probably up all night being like, "Why didn't I just let it go?". Maybe. - Yeah. There was opportunities to come back later and be like, "Hey, I'm sorry I overreacted.". - But that just shows you. that he's probably just a (beep) asshole.

- Yeah, well, and also when she's like, "Hey, can you help me?". And he's like, "No, sorry. "Like you told me.". - "Wow!". - "Wow, asshole!". Like, they think, "Oh, I can yell at you all I want. "and then, but then you still owe me.". - [Amanda] Yeah, exactly. - It's, I don't know. That's the only reason. But I do understand, if I saw someone in my yard, I could understand that in the moment, you might yell and freak out. - [Amanda] Yes. - But you have a chance after that to go, "Hey, sorry." - To apologize. - Yes. - Like, but they didn't do that. - I'm gonna be thinking about this story for a while. - Yeah, this is a fascinating one.

- This makes me really sad that like, he had like a whole neighborly routine. and neighbors do take care of you. - You grew up in a snowy area. - I don't get, like when you were first telling me the story, I was like windshield wipers? What, what's going? - We're from the desert. - I grew up in Massachusetts, and it was always like in winter it was below freezing. But the thing is, I would never, my mom or dad would never walk around. and do people's windshields. Like, everyone just did that themselves. But the biggest thing for us. is when the plow guy was going by,

if he liked you and knew the neighbor, he would plow your driveway for you. - That's nice. - Otherwise, my entire life growing up. was every daughter had to do two hours of shoveling. - What, two hours? - Every night. - Wait, wait, wait, no. - Two hours of shoveling every night. My mom would give us 10 bucks, and it was just a part of my life. And then when I started driving, you'd have to wake up an hour before to shovel out your car, scrape. So what you do is you have a scraper, you scrape the top,

and then as you're warming up your car. So when you warm up your car, it actually warms up the frozen and then you scrape. - No wonder everyone on the east coast is so pissed off. - We're so angry. - It's freaking me out. (Shayne laughs). - We're so angry and so mad when people like take time off. 'cause we're like, "What the (beep). "I have to go to work.". And that's why I left because I was done being so angry. - Wait, this is so crazy. - [Shayne] Yeah. - Wait, you were shoveling snow for two hours? - Every night. - Why?

- That's just a part of your life. And then raking leaves in the fall. - I think it's also why it's so funny. 'cause growing up in Arizona and being in LA, like people out here, we talk about the snow. in its romanticized fantasy idea of like the snow. How lovely. - "I like to ski.". And it's like, ski? If you're lucky. - See, I do, I love snow. But I love it for like sledding and building a snowman. - I built, listen, I built snowmen. I loved snow too. I built snowmen and sled. It was great, but I still had to work my ass off to get out.

- I only experienced the snow when I was very little. when we lived in Virginia. And so I never had to shovel snow. - I can't, I don't find any joy in snow, cold, snowmen. - [Shayne] You're missing out. - Honestly, it creates character. But you do have to leave the east coast. or else you become curmudgeon. - So we have some comments here. "You reminded her of her. "and her husband's earlier yelling at you for trying to help. "and her response to that reminder is to call you an asshole. "instead of apologizing, "admitting she really does need help. "Yeah, these are not nice people.

"You're better off not having any kind of relationship. "with them.". I think that's, there's not enough information to go like, "Yeah, don't talk to these people ever again.". But certainly based on that-. - They should mend things. It's just not worth it. It's nice, it's good to have, it's good to, you know, have good neighbors and have a good relationship. - It is good to have good neighbors. You need it. - Yeah. "Your wife is wrong. "Until the neighbors apologize, "do as instructed and never touch their vehicle. "Considering how other neighbors tried to explain to them. "and they wouldn't listen, they're on their own.

"Probably for other stuff. "as they made a bad first impression.". Someone else said, "Oh boy, looks like a lot of neighborly feud stories. "for years to come.". See, that's where my mind is at. is that I'm like, they're asshole definitely. I mean, look, if I was in his position, I'd be trying to avoid them. Like, I'm- - That sucks though. It's so much energy. - I know it sucks, but I would also try to like mend this. And it's not fair, but I would try because I'm like, you don't want to deal with some people next to you. who hate you. - Yes. - Like in the movie "Megan.".

- Yeah. - Oh my god. - Maybe they have an android daughter. who's gonna kill your dog. - Exactly. - What was the dog's name? That was driving me crazy. She's like, "Your dog is running all over my yard.". And she's like, "Ah.". - "I don't care.". - "I don't care.". - All right, let's keep it moving. This is another petty revenge. "Bluetooth speaker revenge. "One of my neighbors loves to blast loud music. "and watch soccer every damn night with his friends. "I've had enough and wanted to do something original. "just to annoy him and give him a good scare.

"While I was on my phone, "I noticed a bunch of devices in the Bluetooth settings. "I saw an unsecured Bluetooth speaker. "So naturally I waited until they were all asleep. "and then I paired my phone with it. "I then played a super loud window breaking sound effect. "And since there's absolutely no soundproofing here, "I could hear it through the wall along with their screams. "I had to laugh in a pillow to not get caught. "I hope that I'll be able to sleep. "because I can't stop thinking about it. "It was really entertaining.". - Oh my god. - So the comments are all people suggesting other things.

that they can play on their Bluetooth speaker. This isn't gonna solve anything. - No. - Like, they're not, this isn't. like this isn't fixing the problem. They're gonna continue to play loud music. - Why didn't he just go and knock on their door and be like-. - Yeah, they didn't establish that they've tried to ask. - "Dude, stop.". You don't wanna like prank like a family. - Yeah, yeah. Or old people. - Or a mother. - I would put like bear sound effects. Like, a fully grown grizzly bear is in their place.

- It sounds like a horror movie, like the start of a horror movie. Like, it just goes all horribly wrong. - So there was only one comment apparently in this thread. that said, "Have you tried actually talking to them?". - I like that comment. - Me too. - I think, yeah, 'cause I do, my only issue is like, don't do this until you've literally gone and asked. because maybe they don't think it bothers anyone. Maybe they don't think, I could see in an apartment setting being like, maybe we don't have neighbors on that side. Or like, depending, like that can happen.

I don't know. - You have to let them know. because my apartment building, it's like an old like kind of vintagey. I think it's from the 1920s. And I didn't know this, but my neighbor below me could hear everything. Like, when my dog would run around, it sounded like a (beep) tornado. - [Shayne] Yeah. - So it's like, I didn't know until he told me. He was like, "Oh my god.". - [Olivia] Right. - Like, and so I'm very aware, like if I'm gonna work out in the place, I'm not gonna do it late at night or something.

- See, the thing is for me, I'm someone who's not bothered by sounds. coming from like neighbors or anything. - I am so bothered by sounds. - I'm not bothered whatsoever. I can sleep straight through it, and sometimes it's actually comforting for me. I actually like it. I sometimes like it. - That means that your parents did well. Like, I feel like with little kids, parents, you know, how like the newer parents are like, they're very quiet with their kids. But I don't know if you grew up. with your parents being like loud that you got used to that. - Well, there was already, they like, I was the youngest,

so I think by that point it was like whatever. Like, and my brothers probably were loud like and stuff, and I just grew up with that around. I just could sleep through anything. - I love like dead silence. Like, Sam when he's next, like last night he was watching "Mission Impossible.". - That's awesome. - And I'm like, please-. - In bed? - Yeah. - [Shayne] That's awesome. - I'm like, headphones on please. - Get outta here. - [Shayne] Sick as hell, dude. - Too loud. - That's what H will do. He'll watch "You," and then it'll be, it's "You.". And I'm like, "You need to turn that down.".

He's like, "Okay.". And then he'll just turn down the volume. and the bright light is there and I'm just like, god. - Another petty revenge here. "Throw food at my car? "Enjoy deep cleaning your interior.". - Okay, that was a long title. - "This happened to me about a couple years ago. "My wife and I were headed back from a trip to Costco. "While there, I grabbed their amazing $1.50 hotdog. "and a drink combo and mixed iced tea and lemonade together. "This is important later. "We got off the freeway, "and I had to stop for a red light on the off ramp,

"then immediately caught the next red light off the freeway. "As I was waiting for the light and talking to my wife, "a little biscuit bounces off the hood of my car. "I look to my left and there is a guy in a pickup. "with his window rolled down throwing biscuits out of a bag. "at my car.". - Hey. - "I rolled down my window and asked, 'What the (beep)'. "He says I made him brake hard at the light before. "and I should have just driven through. "I said, 'The light was red, moron. "'That's how (beep) works. "'I'm sure not running a red light. "'because some dumb ass isn't paying attention.'.

"He throws another biscuit at my car. "So I grab my drink, I'm right-handed. "and my car, newer Camaro, has tiny windows, "so I didn't have much hope. "on my accuracy throwing this out the window. "with my left hand. "And this was obviously a work truck. "Really doubtful he'd care if he got a drink. "on the outside of his truck. "But I put my faith in the most high and threw that drink. "He watched it fly through the air totally nonplussed. "until it went right through his passenger window. "and exploded inside the truck.

"Luke Skywalker didn't feel as accomplished making that shot. "through the exhaust port as I did. "seeing an Arnold Palmer erupt all over his cloth seats.". - Oh no. - "He immediately started searching his truck. "for something else to throw, and I floored it, "laughing as loudly as I could out my window.". I just love that it was biscuits. How many biscuits did this guy have? - He wasted so many biscuits. - Yeah, I would not waste biscuits on some asshole. He was giving him biscuits. - I don't think, I don't really like when people are aggressive on the road.

- Well, yeah, me neither. - Well yeah, it like causes murder. It like leads to-. - Yeah, yeah, problem. Look, I would never, I would never do this. Like, I think it's a funny story, but I would never throw food at someone else's car, even if they threw, like I would keep my window rolled up. - What, yeah. - I would keep my window rolled up 'cause I'd be scared. 'cause I'm like, you don't know how crazy. I always assume when I'm on the road, I'm like, any person's a murderer. Like, I'm like, that person's a murderer. Especially if they drive crazy.

I'm like, that means they already kind of don't care. about people's safety. - Yes, absolutely. Don't engage. - Never engage. - Don't engage in road rage. - But I think if someone was throwing biscuits at my car, I think I would laugh. - I would laugh really hard and be like, "Thank you. "Yum, yum.". - Dude, if they're Popeye's biscuits, I'm rolling down my window and I'm opening my mouth. - Put it in the car. Put it in the car. - I'd be like ah! So here's some comments here. "I'd be too afraid of the repercussions to do this, "but I love that you did.". Someone said, "Throwing biscuits is the human equivalent. "of a chimpanzee flinging its poo.".

Someone said, "Hey, free biscuits.". And someone said, "Were the biscuits decent?". And the OP said, "They were pretty stale in my opinion.". So they weren't good biscuits. - Oh, so they ate it? - That's a... - Yeah, so they were like, "Hey, stop that.". - Based on maybe how it sounded against his car. - What was the wife doing? "Don't throw the, no, don't throw the iced tea lemonade. "Don't.". - I know. - Now you're down an Arnold Palmer.

- It's not worth it. - Once again, similar to the presentation at the beginning, like you now lost something. - You lost something. And how are you going to wash down that $1.50 hotdog? - [Shayne] I know. - Like, his life sucks now. - [Shayne] Yeah. - They didn't think about it all through. It's not worth it. It's never worth it. - No, that's the thing. No, that person just reacted. - Maybe they were having a bad day. - They were having a bad day. - That's true. Yeah, like biscuits aren't doing much damage to a car, to a Camaro.

I mean, a Camaro's a nice car, so-. - I (beep) hate that, sorry. I'm like, okay, you drive a fast car, cool. - But this is like, I think the point, like the biscuits hitting the outside of his car. and then he throws a drink into this guy's car-. - Work truck. - It is an escalation. - They probably (beep) with the car, but honestly, don't throw the biscuits. - Yeah, don't throw the biscuits. But also, hey dude, get a life. Don't throw your lemonade, half lemonade, half iced tea into someone's work truck.

- That's Olivia's quote, "Hey dude, get a life." - [Shayne] "Get a life.". - Like, just move on, you know? Sorry, there's some biscuits being thrown at you. It could be a lot worse. They're not rocks or blades. - I agree, I agree. - You know, or blood. - Yeah, don't throw blood. - All right, let's move on. - Also, fast cars are really loud sometimes. - And they're obnoxious. - And they hurt my poor baby ears. - Okay, here's the next story.

Just titled "Confession.". (Amanda gasps). So from petty revenge. "I work Instacart. "For those who don't know, "it's an app to shop and deliver groceries. "and various other items through an app. "Someone on the Instacart page told me to post here. "On Christmas I worked. "I got an order at Rite Aid. "for some kind of 24 pack of beer I've never heard of. "I delivered to this dude in less than five minutes. "He comes out and talks to me. "and says he has no one to spend Christmas with. "I don't ask questions obviously. "I say, 'I'm sorry. "'Enjoy your beer.'.

"Scanned his ID and left. "I was thinking about him for a few hours. "I was feeling so bad for people who don't have friends. "or family to celebrate holidays with. "I check my ratings every morning. "The next day he reported the beer as damaged. "What in the actual (beep). "First of all, if it's damaged, why did you take it? "Second I worked on Christmas, you shady asshole. "How dare you do that? "No wonder you're alone. "Couple days ago I was in the same area, "an order pops up, same dude, same beer, same address. "I hit accept. "I arrive at the store, start batch.

"I then send him a message saying, "'I'm sorry, but the last case of beer is damaged. "'I'm refunding your order.'. "Called Instacart and canceled. "Watch what you lie about. "This is minor but (beep) that. "You're not messing with my livelihood. "for a case of beer, you fool. "I got you this time, boo.". The repercussions of this are huge. because the guy reporting it as damaged. affects this shopper's like ability to work. Like, he could get fired from Instacart. or maybe not get as many orders. I know it can impact him and his ability to do his job.

And that's super unfair, especially when it's like-. - It sucks. - [Shayne] It's a case of beer. - [Kiana] And it's a lie. - It's a lie. It's obviously a lie. But also like I'm trying to think of how damaged a 24 pack. of beer can be where it's like, "Oh, it's (beep) ruined.". Like, dude, I've bought 24 packs of beer that I look at, and I'm like, "Oh, this corner's all messed up. "Whatever." - Who cares? - Who cares? - Even if one beer. is messed up, I'm like, it's a 24 pack. This guy's alone. Like, maybe you shouldn't have 24 of 'em, dude.

- Yeah. - That's really sad. - That's really sad. - I was hoping that this story was gonna be. like a "Miracle on 34th Street" story. Like, it was just, I don't know what's wrong with me. None of these movies matched the thing. Okay, I was hoping that he was gonna drive around. and think about him and be like, "You know what? "I'm gonna spend Christmas with this guy.". - I thought so too. - It's a bummer. Like, why did this guy have to retaliate like that? - But he's right. This might be an explanation for why this guy is alone.

We don't know anything about this guy. So here's some comments. "I had someone once claim. "that they didn't get a $183 bottle of champagne. "that they signed for. "Petty and inconvenient. "Now he'll have to actually interact. "with people to get his beer.". So the OP responded, "He wasn't about to interact with me. "or I would've told him off. "So I did that instead of risk my job.". - Smart. - Yeah. - Yeah. Someone else said, "Wow, so he ordered Instacart.

"to trick someone into spending Christmas with him. "So sad.". They responded, someone else responded, "No, he ordered it through Instacart. "so that he could lie to Instacart. "and tell them the case was damaged. "so that he could drink free beer. "He had no intention of asking OP. "to spend Christmas with him. "He literally just wanted to scam a free case. "Had he gone to the store, "he would've had to actually return the beer. "to get his money back.". And the OP said, "Exactly on point.". Wow, that's so-. - Here's another thing is like,

I do think that a lot of people spend Christmas alone. and some people enjoy it. Like, not a lot of people. But I do think. that some people enjoy spending holidays alone. It's like when you go eat alone, everyone's like, "Oh god, that poor lady.". And it's like, some people enjoy it, but maybe it's not this guy. - Hurt people hurt people. - To be honest, I mean-. - Hurt people hurt people. That's another quote from you. I like it. - Based on the information here, this guy is alone, but he just got a 24 pack of beer.

that he's trying not to pay for, which means he probably tries to do this a lot. And I don't know, there's a lot. - He tried to get a free Christmas gift. - Yeah, it's very sad. - You were a server. Did you ever deal with people trying to swindle you? - Oh, all the time. Especially when you tell 'em that they're cut off. They're like, "No.". - [Olivia] Cut off what? - That they're done. Done drinking. I hated doing the- - You can do that? - Oh, every bar has the power to cut people off. They have to. - Wait, what? - Yes.

I didn't do it because I didn't like doing it. 'cause people would get so mean. - [Shayne] Yeah. - Especially men. - Wait, what? - [Shayne] Dude, yeah. - Oh, I was called bitch many times. "You're a (beep) bitch!". - I mean, alcohol does (beep) to people. - Wait, you can cut people off at restaurants? Oh my god, I had no idea. - [Shayne] Yeah! - [Kiana] It's a legal responsibility. - You have to because if that person drives. and they kill someone, you are (beep). - Really? Like, I mean, like-. - Yes. - I didn't know that a restaurant was liable for that.

- Restaurants are liable 100%. And then you, I could go to jail. - What? - If I over serve someone. and they got in an accident and killed someone, I can go to jail and the restaurant can be 100% shut down. - [Shayne] Wow. - So all servers have to take, they have to get like a certification, and they have to watch. all these really bad acted videos out. And then you have questionnaires. This is what I've had to do many, many times.

Also, people would finish their entire meal and be like, "Oh, it was not good. "Like, it really wasn't good.". - As a joke? - No, not as a joke. - "Oh, I hated this.". - Not like, "Oh, I hated this.". - They're not a dad. (laughs). - No, they're like, "It really was bad. "Like, it was not good. "Like, also, I found a hair in it.". I'm like, "So you ate the hair and the rest of the dish though?". - "The hair was delicious, but it was still a hair. "And I will not tolerate it.". - My favorite is like, "We saw a rat, just so you know.". - Well, there is that big controversy right now.

There was rat in a soup last week. - Where? Where? - Was it good? (crew laughs). - No. Anyways, can I? - [Amanda] Wait, where? Okay. - Yesterday I had sushi. and I ordered two things that were totally bad. and I just didn't say anything and I just didn't eat it. - See, if I was your server, I would've been like, "Did you not like it?". And then I would've been like, "Let me take it off. "Can I get you something else?". - So I have a weird thing that I do, but I also have grave mouth, so I'll eat anything.

But if I get, if I order something. and they bring me the wrong order, I go, well, maybe I'll like this. - [Olivia] Yeah. - Like, I don't try new things too often at restaurants. - [Amanda] That's so sweet. - So like, if they bring me, if I order chicken tendies, which is what I almost always order if they're on the menu. and then they bring me like a fish-. - [Amanda] So you're a baby? - Yeah. And they bring me like fish or something, I'm like, maybe I'll like this. - And do you? - Yeah, I often find something I really like. - That's cute. - I hate complaining like-. - [Shayne] I do too, yeah.

- So it's like, if I order something and it's wrong, I'll just be like, "Oh, can I just order the other thing? "I'll just take this home.". - Oh, no, no. I've worked in the industry for so long that I'm like, if I don't like it, I'm doing them a disservice. - Right. - I'll be like, "I really don't like this. "I'm so sorry.". They'll be like, "Oh, all good.". It doesn't totally (beep) them over. - [Olivia] Yeah. - Because I hate the people that are like, "Don't like it.". And then they write a Yelp review. "Didn't like my meal, wasn't good.". - [Shayne] No, that's ridiculous. - "One star.". Because again, just like the Instacart,

the one star for restaurants. I don't know why I'm like fighting. for restaurants right now. - That (beep) them over more. - It does, it (beep) them over more. And people in the restaurant industry, like, yes, it's annoying to have someone complain about their food, but also like, it's not the biggest deal. They want you to be happy. - I think a connecting thing that I'm seeing so far is like, you can get your revenge, you can go for it, but please communicate something first. Like, ask. Like say, "Hey, you're doing this and I don't like that.". Obviously when someone's throwing biscuits at your car.

on the freeway, there's not much chance to communicate. But in so many of these stories, it's like, hey, knock on the neighbor's door. Hey, say, "Hey, you're crossing a boundary.". Or, "Hey, I don't like this service here.". - Don't assume that they know. - And then if you get a, then you can go for your revenge. - Yeah, because you might send back a dish. and the server's like, "Okay.". And you're like, "Cool, won't be coming here anymore.". - Well, there are some places that will be like, "Oh, you didn't eat this. "Did you not like it?". And those are great situations because I'm like,

oh, they like notice. And they're like, "Can I get you something else?". And that's really good service. - [Amanda] Of course. - Clark Street Diner does that and they're really sweet. - All right, let's move on to the next one. Another petty revenge. "So you wanna snoop in your daughter's texts? "So I'm married to a wonderful woman. "She's smart, funny, and very kind.". - [Amanda] Aw. - "Her mother is generally very nice. "and tends to have a great attitude and be very enjoyable. "A bit of a prude, but generally enjoyable.". - Her mother? - "Her mother's a bit of a prude, but generally enjoyable. "However, can be a bit of a major snoop.

"If my wife leaves her phone sitting around, "she will just pick it up and start going through it. "My wife has kind of laughed this off. "as a remnant of her mom being controlling. "when she was a kid. "I'm not a fan of this. "because my wife and I will sometimes text about things. "that simply don't involve her mother. "and I don't feel are her business at all. "So over Christmas I saw my wife set her phone down. "on the kitchen counter, and I had a brilliant idea. "Her mom was still in the kitchen. "and I sent my wife the most sexually depraved text. "about all the things I was going to do to her. "when everyone left.

"Honestly, most of them are things we haven't even done, "but I had to make it extra scarring. "I sent this text from the bathroom, "and maybe it was my imagination, "but I could swear I could hear an audible gasp. "shortly after her phone went off. "When I went out, "her mother absolutely would not look me in the eye. "Then not so discreetly asked her daughter. "to come talk to her in the other room. "When my wife came back into the living room, "I thought she had been crying. "However, upon closer inspection she was laughing. "Her mother had questioned her. "about me sexually abusing her. "and if I always talk down to her like that.

"My wife had told her kindly. "that what we do is between us and us only. "Probably the best gift this Christmas.". - That is brilliant. (crew laughs). Her mother needs to get out of her phone. - I know. Don't be snooping. - That's some crazy (beep). - Also change your lock code. - Yeah, like have a new lock code. - Maybe it's like a Nokia flip phone or something. - That's really funny. That's really, really funny. - Wait, I wanna know what he wrote. - He never said what he said in the text.

But there's some comments. "I love that she didn't deny doing those things. "Just told her mother it was none of her business. "what you two did, thus preserving the mental scarring.". Someone else said, "I was expecting a dick pic, but this was good too.". Someone said, "My mom did this for the first time the other night. "We went out and grabbed a drink. "and I left my phone on the table. "because I didn't give a (beep). "Thought it's my mom, nah. "But she had moved it and my texts were open. "when I came back. "But I quit out the apps immediately when done with them. "She admitted to it and said she was just tipsy and curious.

"But man, (beep) feels violating.". - That is so weird. - "Never snooped on anyone before. "and definitely won't knowing how it feels.". Yeah, I would feel so awkward. looking through someone's phone. - Yeah. - Because like for one, it's wrong. But also then like to know things like that you can't, like, I'm just like, I don't want to know (beep). - You're a specific type of person to do that. - Yeah. - And-. - But a lot of parents really feel entitled.

- They do. - To every aspect of their child's lives, even once they're adults. And it's mind blowing to me. - It's honestly very traumatic for the child. to experience that invasion of privacy. - The fact that the daughter blows it off. Like, it's just, she got so used to that. - It's terrible. - I know. - That she's like, "Whatever.". Like, she's probably so used to just not having secrets. from her mom. - That's so disgusting. - Not being able to have any life separate from her mom. - I personally would not wanna look. through my own mother's phone. - I wouldn't wanna look through anyone's phone. - It's violating. - I'll see some of the things she texts and I'm like, no, no, no, no.

- Do you know anyone who's like very blase. about their phone? Like, has no problem with people looking through it? - My fiance. - I don't think I would have too much of a problem. For me, it would be less of like, "Don't look through.". I would be more that I'm like, is there anything cringey or stupid? Like, I hardly ever take photos though, so I don't have any photos. Like, I really, the only photos I take are truly like, if you see stuff on Instagram, those are like the only photos in my-. - Oh, I take photos and if I have an idea, like in the car, like a character voice, I have a lot of videos.

And the videos are like from here up. and they're the nastiest videos you've ever seen. But it's me like practicing out a voice. - [Shayne] Nice. - And sometimes I have to go through them and be like, "Oh my god, that one's not good.". And like, delete them. - See, I'd be scared of them looking through my notes app. - I have lot, yeah, my notes app. - Seeing the dumb ideas I come up with when I'm high. - But like, I don't really care, but I just find it weird if you want to look.

- I think it's weird. I think it's really weird. - Like, I have some friends. who keep their location services on and they're just like, "Why don't you turn yours on?". - Whoa! - And I'm like, no. - I have a friend like that too. I'm like-. - I don't want you to know where I'm going. - Also read receipts, like read receipts, you know, where it's like this person has read your messages, took that off. - Look, if you're comfortable. and okay with people looking through your stuff. and you even want them to, fine. But to try to go and look at other people's things or, I just think it's like-.

- [Amanda] It's personal. - People have their boundaries and you need to respect that. And like, I don't care where your boundaries are. Maybe you don't have boundaries. That's cool for you. (Olivia groans). But you still have to respect other people's boundaries, you know? - Yes. - Just because you're fine with people looking. through your phone doesn't mean you have the right. to look through other people's phones. - I don't even like to over explain what I'm doing, which is probably bad. But like, they're like, where, I'm like, why am I telling you? I don't need to tell you. - I don't even like people knowing where I go. between 2:00 and 3:00 AM every night. (crew laughs). - Where... - Don't, like, why- - He's just helping.

Helping people. - Where do you go? - Where are you going? - To the park for a walk? - I don't want people to know what-. - Feed the owls. - What I'm working on in there. What's he doing in there? Okay, here's the next one. This is malicious compliance again. "Business class upgrade, 'if there is room.'". Quotes. - Okay. - "I used to work at a regional airline. "The jet we used for our flight. "to the big city had six business class seats. "The business class service was really good. "for a two hour flight. "It included a full bar service, "a hot meal, warmed bread basket,

"followed by a trolley with dessert and signature coffee. "The good old days. "One of our regular travelers was a local business owner. "who was just a slimy businessman. "We're gonna call him SB, slimy businessman. "He had a reputation for making a lot of money. "from some pretty shady deals over the years. "We would roll our eyes. "when we saw him coming to the check-in counter. "because he would always name drop. "and ask for special treatment. "He always used the business class check-in line, "even though he was usually in economy. "He didn't have frequent flyer status, "but he was buddies with one of the airline executives.

"and always let us know this fact when he checked in. "by making sure to tell us. "that he was good friends with Vice President Karen. "He would always ask for free upgrades, extra baggage, "not charging a change fee, last minute discounts, "et cetera. "If he didn't get what he wanted, "he immediately called VP Karen, "who would usually then call us. "and approve whatever it was he wanted. "So one day slimy businessman checks in for his flight. "to the big city and of course name drops. "and asks for a free upgrade to business class. "because 'I'm friends with VP Karen. "'and they said it would be okay.'.

"He was traveling on a discounted ticket. "that was not eligible for upgrade, "even if he did have an upgrade coupon, which he didn't. "I informed him that he was not eligible. "for any upgrade on this ticket. "and gave him his boarding pass and sent him on his way. "Of course, he flips open his cell phone. "and immediately calls VP Karen. "Within two minutes the phone at the check-in desk rings. "and its VP Karen authorizing me to override the policy. "to upgrade slimy businessman to business class. "with no upgrade coupon required if there is room. "The flight that day wasn't that busy.

"and only one person booked in business class, "leaving five open seats. "I was really irritated, "but I begrudgingly put slimy businessman. "on the upgrade list anyway. "He returned to the check-in counter. "and picked up his standby boarding card. "and gave me that smug 'told you so' look, "but then what VP Karen said clicked with me, "'if there is room.'. "The next passenger I checked in was a super nice lady. "Big smile, friendly please and thank you. "'Oh, thank you so much for checking my bags. "'to my connecting flight. "'That's so nice of you.'. "I was taking my time and we were chatting a bit.

"since it wasn't that busy. "She was a teacher going on a trip to see her family, "and it was her first visit with them in over a year. "and was going to meet her new little nephew. "for the first time. "She was overjoyed just to have the time off to travel. "I typed in a few things into the computer. "to make it look like I was checking something. "about her connecting flights and then said, "'Oh, you have been selected today to receive a free upgrade. "'to business class.'. "She was shocked. "'I've never flown business class in my life. "'This is so amazing.'. "At that time, we were rarely questioned. "if we upgraded someone without a certificate.

"Over the next 20 minutes, "I found excuses to upgrade four other passengers; "one who worked for one of our top corporate accounts, "one who was legitimately a frequent flyer, "can't remember the other reasons. "But by the time I went to board the flight, "I had to tell slimy businessman that I was sorry, "but business class was full. "and couldn't offer him an upgrade today. "The teacher I upgraded profusely thanked me again. "when she boarded. "with the rest of the business class passengers. "Little did she know that it really made my day also.". There's an edit here. "Thank you all for the votes and awards.

"I'm a longtime lurker, "but first time poster." - Awards? - "There were no repercussions to my actions. "We rarely upgraded passengers randomly, "so it wasn't something that caught management's attention, "and they mostly trusted our judgment on these things. "But like many customer service jobs I'm sure, "if you were nice to us, "we would go out of our way to help you. "If you were not nice to us, "we would apply the rules very strictly. "Our boss did watch baggage like a hawk though. "If you printed more bag tags. "than the passengers are allowance. "without collecting the excess fee it showed. "on your daily report and you would be asked about it.

"at the start of your next shift.". That's awesome. - That was a novel. - Wow. That's cute. - That was really, really sweet. - That's nice. - What a slimy business guy. - Yeah, I don't like him. - Don't like him either. There's some comments. "Love this. "I bet that lady still tells people about the nice person. "who upgraded her to business class. "and how she had such a wonderful experience.". - Oh. - So sweet. - Someone else said, "Shame you guys didn't have an ethics hotline. "An SVP having frontline employees going against policy. "for their friends should not be taken lightly. "This is kind of thing people get a warning over.

"and then fired on a second offense.". - Okay. - Uh-huh. Why am I saying like I know? I'm like, yeah, I've worked for an airline. - [Amanda] Working in it is very hard. - Someone said, "Had a kind of opposite experience once. "Was a government employee flying overseas. "on government business with another guy outranked me. "Kind of a big deal trip. "Got to the airport, one hour drive and he wasn't there. "Called him, he was mowing his lawn. "I was like, international two hour check-in. "diplomatic travel, orders. "He said, 'Chill out, I'll leave soon.'. "He arrived very late.

"They already boarded standby, so his seat was gone. "I was wheeling the boarding gate person. "showing diplomatic papers, orders, et cetera. "Please hold the door as long as possible. "Asshole shows up at the last second. "Because his seat was given to standby, "he got bumped to first class for a flight to Central Asia. "I was back in coach. "He had the gall to give me a (beep) eating grin and say, "'See, I told you it would be fine.'. "Screw you, Dave. "Also screw your homophobic macho attitude. "Half your team was gay. "and they all made fun of your idiotic prejudice.". - Whoa. - [Shayne] Yeah.

- I love that he was like "(beep) it, "I'm just gonna say the name.". - Yeah, yeah, yeah. - Screw you, Dave. That story was a journey. - Yeah, it was a journey, like the flight. - [Shayne] Yeah, that was very sweet. - I once was on a flight to San Francisco for my birthday. and on the way back, H, my fiance, just like asked the lady very nicely, he was like, "Hey, it's her birthday. "Like, I know that there's not a lot of people. "in first class if there's any way that we could, "but no worries if not.". And the woman was so taken back. by the kindness of that he asked, she was like,

"Get up here. "You two, get up here.". And we got up there. - "Get up here.". - "Get up here. "Get the (beep) up here.". And she threw our whole bodies. and we slammed into the doors. (everyone laughs). So we sat down and then she gave us champagne, like over and over. She was like, "Do you want any more champagne? "Do you want," and I was like, first class is the shit. - My dad worked at an airline for a long time. And I never have understood people being mean to workers.

at airlines, 'cause I'm like, for one, I'm like, what's gonna happen? Like, is being a dick gonna get you on the flight? No. - No! It's gonna get you kicked out. - In fact you, you're making things worse. - People are just crazy. - [Shayne] Yeah, like-. - Why do people think. that they can treat flight attendants so (beep). It's like they're trying to do their job. This is their turf. - This was the gate agent, which people are really (beep) to gate agents. - Oh, they're so mean. - [Shayne] Really (beep) - I don't get it.

Like, just-. - [Shayne] It doesn't do anything. - Yeah. - [Shayne] People have no emotional-. - Also, sit down. Your group number is five. They're calling group number one. Sit. I hate that. When they're standing right there with their bag, I'm like, "Are you group number one?". I do it very aggressively and they're like, "Five.". I'm like, "Oh, that's so interesting. "that you're standing up right here blocking the way. "for group number one.". - That's right. - Yeah. - My fiance's like, "You are so intense when you fly.". I'm like, "I'm done.". - "I'm from Massachusetts. "I grew up in the snow." - I disassociate. - I'm from Massachusetts. Oh, I don't disassociate.

I'm very intense. - No, I'm like, don't, I have my hood on. I'm like-. - [Shayne] All right. - I don't wanna talk to anybody. I don't wanna touch anything. - [Amanda] True. - All right, let's move on to our last story here. "You want a man to help you? "No problem. "One will clock in soon.". Malicious compliance. "This happened 16 years ago. "When I was about 20 years old, "I was a department manager in a big box hardware store. "People said I acted 25, but I didn't even look 18.

"As a young female, "I saw my fair share of sexual discrimination, "but the worst always came from women. "This is the story of one such woman. "I managed the paint department. "I had three associates who worked for me. "They loved me as a boss. "because I bought them a department radio, "took the shifts they didn't want, "worked Friday close and Saturday mid, "so my two younger guys could have time to have fun. "on Friday nights. "And the older gentleman took early Saturday morning. "so they could sleep off their fun. "In trade, I gave the older gentleman his ideal schedule. "My team was awesome.

"One day I was in the department alone. "and a lady came up and asked me. "where she could find the five gallon oil based primer. "I let her know. "that my location didn't carry the five gallon size. "of that primer. "She told me that we did, "and said that it was shelved right there. "while suggesting I was too stupid to remember. "Her husband gave me an apologetic look. "I let her know that another location. "had what she was looking for. "and that it was in fact in the exact location. "in that store. "She let me know how stupid she thought I was. "for thinking she could mix up stores.

"Then she began yelling and loudly insisting. "that I get a man out there. "Then she began yelling and loudly insisting. "that I get a man out there to help her. "because she wanted someone competent. "and not a stupid little girl.". - Oh! - Oh! - "Her husband actually tried to step in at that point, "but I just smiled and let her know. "that a male paint associate would be clocking in any minute. "and that I would be happy to direct him to her. "as soon as he is on the clock. "I smiled and waited for Joe to clock in. "Joe was great and I knew he could handle this.

"or I wouldn't have put him in this situation. "But Joe was also new. "He was learning things super quick. "but still relied on the rest of us for help. "When I saw Joe walking up, "I quickly said that there was a customer who needed help. "I let him know that she was upset. "and asked him to do his best to answer her questions. "Joe walked up to the lady. "She said, 'Finally, a man.'. "She asked her question, "explained where the product should be, and waited. "Joe calmly let her know. "that he had never seen us carry five gallon size. "of oil based primer,

"but said he could check with the paint department manager. "She was happy and loudly said she was happy. "to be getting some real help. "Joe walked up to me and started to ask me. "about the five gallon oil based primers.". - Oh my god. - "The lady quickly walked up. "and asked him what he was doing. "He turned and said, 'This is my manager. "'She runs this department.'. "The husband laughed out loud, "the woman stormed off, and I bought Joe lunch.". - "I bought Joe lunch.". - "And I bought Joe lunch.". - I love this woman. - [Shayne] Yeah. - She's writing a wholesome novel right now.

- Yeah. - "And I bought Joe lunch. "and we all live together in one home.". - "And I married Joe.". - "And I married Joe.". That woman is a bitch! - So annoying. Get over it. - "Get a man.". - Go to the other store. and get that five gallon of oil primer. - Yeah. And also the husband. Woo. - Oh, the husband. - He is whipped. - I can't, yeah, I can't believe he's tolerating that. Like, that's so embarrassing. That is so unbelievably embarrassing. - [Olivia] Yeah. - See, but I thought that she did.

what the windshield wiper guy should have done. Like, "Sure, I'll get you help.". And then at the end, she actually was the hero in that story. - Yeah. - And so was Joe. And he got lunch. - I mean, the woman just stormed off. The woman just left. She refused to be served by a woman. Comments. "I had a really similar experience. "I worked in a large appliance store, "and an older woman came in to buy a washing machine. "I was in my early 20s and looked very young. "Anyway, I went up to her, "and she stated she would like a man to help her please.

"I said, okay, and went to get one of my male colleagues. "I told him she had requested a man. "The whole way through the sale when she asked a question, "he'd say, 'Hang on, let me just check with the expert,'. "and come and chat with me for a moment. "He knew very well what the answer was. "In fact, he had trained me, but he was a golden soul.". Someone else said, "Same thing always happened to me," a woman, "working in the sporting goods department. "of a certain blue big store chain. "My male coworkers recognized it. "and always had a fun time with it. "When they asked me to get a man to help them with a gun,

"my coworkers always made a point to ask me the question. "after they were asked before responding to the customer, "even though they knew the answer to the question. "I had some awesome coworkers that had my back.". And another person responded, "I loved it when I was working and people refused my help. "because I'm a woman. "I worked at GameStop.". Oh, no surprise your customers were like that. "Anytime they'd demand my store manager, "I would go get her with glee. "She was a 50 plus year old woman. "who didn't even really play games, "which meant that not only did they have to deal.

"with a different woman, "they were losing my 20 plus years of gaming experience.". That's awesome. - Wow. - I can't fathom like, I can't fathom asking a worker for a different worker. Like, I would never be at a store and be like, "Could you get someone else?". - [Amanda] But it happens. - I would never do that. - Happens all the time. And here's the thing is like I don't think. that that older woman who wanted a man is 100% in fault. I think that she grew up back in the day.

where women were never asked their opinion. or never asked for help. So she's just like trained and conditioned to see that, and she's conditioned to believe, "But men know better.". - [Olivia] Right. - And so in a way it's more of like a society fault. But I think it's like, I think educating these older generations of like, hey, it's okay. It's okay. Women can have opinions too. For them to be like, "What? "They can? "No!". And it's like just take off the black mirror (beep).

like whatever those are called, like glasses, and be like, it's okay. You are allowed to like move past. So I just like, I don't necessarily see them as like the worst people. in the world, but it's very hard. It is mainly women. - I am empathetic to the woman who can't find the paint, to be honest. It is a pain when you're in the store, you think that there is something in stock. and you realize it's not there. - And a man will help. - You pointed this out earlier of like.

with the windshield wiper neighbor, where it's like once you've already gone so hard, of like, "I need a man,". like you've gone so hard that now you realize you were wrong. and you either have to humble yourself hard in that moment. or as she did, you just have to run away. - And most people do. They go so hard in their decision. I think it's really spiritually awoken. when you can in the moment like be like, "I was wrong.".

And there's this amazing Buddhist Pema Chodron, she's (beep) awesome. She calls it your shepna. You know that place where someone's talking to you. and you see that you've like hit a button. and they're like immediately angry. We all have it. - Oh. - And it's called the shepna. And a lot of people do this like whole song and dance. to avoid like their shepna, to be like, "That's not it. "I'm fine!". - Interesting. - But instead if they just sit in it and be like,

"Wow, that really (beep) hurt,". and then they start to admit like, "I am hurt by that, "but I'm gonna try to talk my way through that.". It's so hard to do. All of us. - What I've learned in life is that there's a lot of times. where the wisest and most beneficial for your own self, the thing to do is to take the L. Like, taking the L sometimes is the best thing you can do. It's so hard. But there's a lot of times where, and it's tough where it's in the moment and you're like, "Oh my god, I just took the most massive L of my life.".

- [Amanda] Yeah. - But I have to. If you don't own it, it's gonna make you, that L is gonna grow. It's gonna keep capitalizing more and more. Take that L. - And sometimes it's good to just admit defeat. - [Shayne] Yeah. - I was, you know, I was at Jiffy Lube, they did not explain to me very well. what I needed for my car. And then I got a bill and I was like, wait, what? - [Amanda] Oh no. - And they're like, "No, we explained this to you.". And I was like, "Are you sure?".

- [Amanda] But it's also like-. - Okay. And I was like-. - I'm not a mechanic. - I was like, "All right, I'll just pay but ah.". And then in my head I had to play mental gymnastics. with myself. I'm like, is this worth it to be like, you know, defending yourself or is it like, hey, I gotta move on with my life. - Well, sometimes it's really vulnerable to go, "I don't know what you're saying to me,". at the store employee. - Literally I've had to say that. - I don't know what's going on. - I don't know why the watch isn't working and I need help.

- And it's not your fault, it's me. I'm the stupid one. I don't know. - No, we're not stupid. This is intense technology, okay? - The last thing I'll say, the last thing I'll say. is a bad trait of mine is that if I'm at a store. and I am desperately looking for something, I am so, I have such an instinctual fear. of inconveniencing people that a worker will be like, "Hey, do you need help? "Any help finding anything?". I'm like, "No, I'm just looking around.". (Amanda laughs). But I'm desperately, I've been looking for 20 minutes,

and I am like, I can't find this. They're like, "Do you need any help finding anything?". I'm like, "Nah, nah. "I'm not looking for anything.". - Sit and watch you behind the register. - And then I'm just there just like. - They're like, "That man needs help.". "I'm not gonna ask him again.". "Okay.". - Do you guys have a favorite revenge that was given today? - I think the windshield wiper one's gonna hurt me. for awhile. - [Shayne] Yeah, you're gonna think about that a lot. - I actually love the dorm room one, the nips. Free the nips. - That was solid. - Yeah, that was good. - That was solid.

That was deserved. That one-. - And I like the flight one. - Flight one was great. A lot of people benefited from that. That was very wholesome. - Yes. - In a way. These were all great. - What about you? - Man, I don't know. I think a part of me is gonna hope. that if road rage happens to me that they throw, they give me free biscuits. - Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. - 'Cause I love biscuits, so I would, but I would hope they're not too stale. - I request fries. - I would definitely-. - Oh, fries would be great.

- Just someone just throwing fries at me. - Well, I'd want the whole Popeye's combo. - [Amanda] Yeah. - So... - Here's my takeout! - Yeah! Well, thank you both for joining me today. - Thank you, Shayne. - Thank you, Shayne. And thank you, Olivia. - Thank you. - And thank you, blanket that I love putting my fingers through. - [Olivia] My fingers in it. - Okay. (everyone laughs). - And thank you all for watching. We'll definitely be back with more Reddit stories. Reddit keeps on giving. So we'll see you next time. Goodbye! - Bye! - Bye!
