0:58

drive up a small hill and turn

1:00

a corner when a wild family appears,

1:02

including the butthole dad. The wife, her

1:04

friend, and the three kids walking with

1:06

them stepped off the side of the

1:08

road to let me pass. However,

1:10

the butthole dad, who had a young

1:13

3-year-old boy in one arm and a

1:15

Budweiser bottle in the other, actually stepped

1:17

closer to my car and yelled something

1:19

at me. I was trying to be

1:21

as safe as possible, so I stopped

1:23

my car, rolled down my window, and

1:25

asked if he was alright. The conversation

1:28

was as follows. Are

1:30

you guys alright? Why'd you step into the road? You see my

1:32

family, right? Yeah,

1:34

what about them? You

1:37

know you were driving too fast for this

1:39

neighborhood, right? Sir, I was

1:41

only going about 12 miles per hour,

1:43

and the speed limit is 20 miles

1:45

per hour here. I was not driving

1:47

too fast. Well, you almost hit me

1:50

and my son. Yeah, because you stepped

1:52

closer to a moving vehicle. The only

1:54

one putting you guys in danger was

1:56

yourself. At this point,

1:58

the butthole dad looked like a man. on

2:00

my phone in the passenger seat and says,

2:03

Just to be clear, here in Illinois you

2:05

can't be on your phone while driving. I'm

2:07

calling the cops. I said, I know,

2:09

I live here in Illinois. Then

2:12

you should know the laws, I'm calling

2:14

the cops. Have fun with that. And

2:17

with that, I just left. I know that

2:19

I probably should have stayed, but since I

2:21

didn't actually do anything wrong, I wasn't taking

2:23

his threat seriously. I went home and made

2:26

some ramen to eat. As I was sitting

2:28

in my dining room, I look out

2:30

the window and nearly choke on

2:32

my noodles. The butthole dad followed

2:34

me home. He was on

2:37

the cell phone with the dispatcher and

2:39

I thought that I was screwed. About

2:41

five minutes later, two cop cars show

2:43

up with three police officers. I stepped

2:45

outside thinking that I was done for.

2:47

The officers started to question the two

2:49

of us. Officer one said, O.P. Do

2:51

you know why we're here? I said,

2:53

I have a pretty good idea what

2:55

you think you're doing here, but why

2:57

don't you let me know? This gentleman

2:59

called us saying that you attempted to

3:01

run his family over after you got

3:03

caught texting while driving and going way

3:05

over the speed limits. My mind went

3:07

blank for a few seconds. This prick

3:09

actually said that I had attempted vehicular

3:12

manslaughter. My mind started working again and

3:14

I said, Sir, that couldn't be farther

3:16

from the truth. I was driving home

3:18

from playing Pokemon Go on my phone

3:21

when this man stepped close to my

3:23

car while I was driving. My phone

3:25

was on the passenger seat the entire

3:28

ride home. The butthole dad

3:30

said, He's lying. He nearly killed my

3:32

family. Arrest him now. The cop said,

3:34

Sir, calm down. We'll settle this. O.P.,

3:37

what was this man doing when the

3:39

incident occurred? Suddenly, an idea

3:41

popped into my head and right there

3:44

on the fly, the revenge started. Well,

3:46

he was walking with his family along

3:48

the side of the road, carrying a

3:50

young boy on one arm and holding

3:52

a beer bottle in the other. That's

3:55

not true, you piece of garbage. The

3:57

cop said, Sir, control yourself. I

3:59

continued. As I drove by them,

4:01

the rest of the family went to the

4:03

side of the road, but he actually stepped

4:05

closer to my car. I think he got

4:07

within an inch of me. This is BS!

4:09

He's just trying to protect himself! Sir,

4:12

if what he's saying is true, you

4:14

could actually be arrested here, not him.

4:16

Are you sure that's what happened, OP?

4:18

Yeah, positive. He got way too close

4:20

to my moving vehicle holding a child

4:22

and a bottle of Miller Lite. It

4:24

wasn't Miller Lite! It was a Budweiser! He

4:27

cut himself off and tried to backtrack, but

4:29

it was too late. All the officers looked

4:31

at him. He tried to defend himself,

4:33

but then one of the cops said something

4:36

that I thought I would never hear a

4:38

cop say in my life. Sir, have you

4:40

had anything to drink this evening? Uh,

4:43

no. They moved him to one

4:45

of the cop cars and gave him a breathalyzer test.

4:48

0.12%. Just over the limit. Gotcha,

4:51

butthole! The guys ended up confessing to the

4:53

cops that I was right and was arrested

4:55

for public intoxication and child endangerment. He now

4:58

has to go before a judge to determine

5:00

if he's a danger to his family. The

5:02

officers asked if I wanted to press any

5:04

charges, but I told them no since he

5:07

already had enough on his plate to deal

5:09

with. Our next Reddit post is from DoubleJ.

5:12

The build up to this revenge is

5:14

that my friend had a horrible boss.

5:16

My friend worked HR and managed payroll

5:19

at what was effectively a nursing home.

5:21

The company had a bit of a

5:23

good ol' boys club going on, with

5:26

all the highest level management being older

5:28

men, who did less work and got

5:30

more pay than pretty much everyone else.

5:32

There were regular complaints about women being

5:35

mistreated, and many women were fired for

5:37

absolutely absurd reasons, followed by their male

5:39

coworkers getting raises. That in and of

5:42

itself was bad, but it's not what

5:44

instigated the need for revenge. What caused

5:46

the burning desire to get back at

5:49

the company was when the company fired

5:51

my friend's manager, who was a woman,

5:53

because she took a week off work

5:55

for literally breaking her leg. The HR

5:58

department had already been badly undefended. staff,

6:00

so my friend had to take on

6:02

the responsibilities of this manager without any

6:05

pay bonus. She requested a pay bonus

6:07

multiple times and was denied each time.

6:09

A month or so later, the company

6:12

hired a new manager to replace the

6:14

old one at nearly twice the salary.

6:17

This new manager was an older man.

6:19

I'm not entirely sure what this new

6:21

manager actually did during the day because

6:23

my friend continued to do all of

6:26

the managerial tasks. And she knows for

6:28

a fact that the new manager didn't

6:30

even have access to the systems that

6:33

he needed access to. And he never

6:35

asked for that access. For six months,

6:37

my friend showed this manager issues with

6:39

her system, including payroll, and explained that

6:42

she was the only one who had

6:44

access to it. This sexist douchebag ignored

6:46

her and made regular comments about how

6:49

she was replaceable and useless. One day,

6:51

my friend just loses her cool. She

6:53

used her credentials to set up a

6:55

program to automatically pay her out each

6:58

pay period, according to her actual salary,

7:00

so she wasn't stealing or anything. She

7:02

then carefully planned her next move and

7:05

put in her two weeks notice right

7:07

before a large department-wide week off, and

7:09

right before her only coworker had a

7:11

two-week vacation. The manager still fired my

7:13

friend, thinking that he could just hire

7:16

someone who knew what they were doing.

7:18

Little did he know, my friend had

7:20

tweaked with the payroll software over her

7:22

time there. It was nothing super awful,

7:25

but it was very different from what

7:27

the base software was. She was the

7:29

only person who knew how to properly

7:31

use it, and the only person in

7:33

the whole company, including the CEO who

7:36

had access to the necessary numbers to

7:38

actually run the payroll. When she left

7:40

after the two weeks, the company had

7:42

two whole pay periods where they didn't

7:44

pay their employees. They couldn't. But

7:46

my friend still got paid because

7:48

they never disabled her automatic payment

7:50

thing. They couldn't. Eventually, they

7:52

called her up and basically begged her

7:55

to consult with them on their payroll.

7:57

For the past six months, she's been

7:59

paid $250 an hour for five hours a week to

8:01

run the company payroll. Also,

8:06

the job is fully remote even though it

8:08

was an in-person job before. And

8:11

to top it all off, she doesn't even

8:13

have to actually work the five hours. She

8:15

wrote a script on our personal device to

8:17

process payroll for. She just

8:19

has to press one button. She's

8:21

working another job now, but man,

8:23

she really screwed them over. So

8:26

out of curiosity, I did the math on this and

8:28

OP's friend was getting paid a $60,000 a

8:32

year salary to do one hour

8:34

of work per day. It's crazy

8:36

how fast this went from a nightmare job

8:38

to a dream job. Our next Reddit post

8:40

is from deleted. So I'm in

8:42

the army and I was married. I was

8:44

approaching my first deployment to Iraq. It was

8:47

very stressful and my wife wanted me to

8:49

find a way to stay and not deploy.

8:51

That's an obvious thing that any wife would

8:53

want. Anyways, we have no kids, but we

8:55

both want kids. We also talk about getting

8:58

out of debt while I'm gone. My wife

9:00

talks to her best friend back home in

9:02

another state where we're both from. My wife's

9:04

friend agrees to let her move in and

9:06

she charges a modest $300 rent so that

9:10

we can get out of debt and start a

9:12

family when I come back. This was a plan

9:14

that I was actually very pleased with. When I

9:16

deploy, she's there crying her eyes out, saying that

9:19

she'll miss me, she loves me, and

9:21

will start a family when I get back. She

9:23

walks forward two months and she starts

9:25

acting distant. She doesn't want to talk

9:27

much during our scheduled calls and she

9:29

texts back one or two word answers.

9:32

We've been together for six years and

9:34

during that time, she was never at

9:37

a loss for words. Anyways, one day

9:39

she says, I need some space. She

9:42

asks someone who's 10,000 miles away for space.

9:46

I ask why and she says that she just

9:48

needs some space. She wants to

9:51

find herself. So I remember

9:53

back when we lived at home, she had

9:55

a guy friend who was always being borderline

9:57

inappropriate. I'm not a very jealous person. person,

9:59

and I trust her. So then

10:02

I start seeing this guy in basically all

10:04

of her pictures that she posts online. Every

10:07

single time, he's in the picture. Everyone

10:09

else changes, but never him. So

10:12

for the first time, I'm very

10:14

jealous and uneasy about everything. So

10:16

I clone her phone, and I receive

10:18

every text that she receives as well

10:20

as every text that she sends. I'll

10:23

never forget the first text that I

10:25

saw after cloning her phone. Hey babe,

10:27

I'll see you after work. Want me

10:29

to save you any of my leftovers?

10:31

The message was from her to him.

10:34

It destroyed me. I didn't eat or

10:36

sleep. I stared at the phone watching

10:38

every conversation. I watched them talk about

10:41

trying to have a baby. It was

10:43

literally everything that a married person fears.

10:45

So I ask my wife if she's

10:48

seeing someone, and she says, no, I'm

10:50

not. She

10:52

says that she's taking care of herself, and

10:54

she loves me, blah blah blah. I don't

10:57

say anything about the text messages for the

10:59

next two months. Over this

11:01

time, she finally admits to cheating, and

11:03

she says that he's so much better

11:05

than me at passionate hugging. He also

11:07

treats her right, and he does what

11:09

she wants. During this time,

11:11

she pays off our debt and gets

11:13

tattoos with him, matching, I

11:16

love you tattoos. She goes to

11:18

shows with him and buys clothes

11:20

with the money that I'm making.

11:22

So this is where the revenge starts. I

11:25

put a freeze on my account. Then

11:27

I change every password to every shared account.

11:30

I block her on Facebook and my phone

11:32

so that she has no way to contact

11:34

me. She got her car repossessed

11:36

a few months later, got kicked out of her

11:38

place, had to sell her prized shoes and

11:40

purses just to stay alive. I then found

11:42

out that she got a job at her

11:44

old restaurant. So I post all

11:46

the text conversations that I saved between

11:48

her and her boyfriend to our friend

11:51

group. I then have these friends call

11:53

and complain at her job constantly on

11:55

both him and her. They

11:57

work together at the restaurant, so I

11:59

also have friends dying and Dash. They

12:01

both get fired. So she tries to

12:03

call my command and tell them that

12:05

I abandoned her and that she can't

12:07

provide for herself. My commander already knows

12:09

what's going on. He does nothing because

12:12

he had something similar happen to him.

12:14

Then, about a month before I return

12:16

home, she calls me from a different

12:18

number to tell me that she's pregnant

12:20

with the other guy's kid. Mind you,

12:22

I'm still gone, so we can't get

12:24

divorced yet. Then, she moved 10 hours

12:27

away from our home. Then, 5 months

12:30

later, she calls me, still pregnant,

12:32

crying uncontrollably asking me where she

12:34

should go. Apparently, they had

12:36

a giant blow-up fight and she left

12:39

him. She says that she doesn't know

12:41

where to go and I simply say,

12:43

sorry, not my problem anymore. Fast forward

12:45

8 months, she calls me from a

12:47

mutual friend's phone. He hit me, I

12:50

don't know what to do. Well, maybe

12:52

don't cheat on your husband when he's

12:54

deployed for some guy who talks a

12:56

big game. Well, I guess you're happy

12:59

about this. No, but I'm

13:01

glad I know that I'm not the

13:03

bad guy in this story. Then, the

13:05

next month, she called me back and

13:07

said that he's cheating on her with

13:10

two girls. She said, I'm sorry, I

13:12

regret everything I did, I messed everything

13:14

up. Yeah, you did. All in all,

13:16

this woman destroyed my life. She put

13:18

me into a deep depression that I'm

13:20

still dealing with. But I do feel

13:23

a little better having proved that I

13:25

wasn't the problem. To think, if this

13:27

happened ten or five years ago, I

13:29

would have come back to an empty

13:31

bank account, an empty house, as well

13:34

as seeing my then-wife pregnant with another

13:36

man's baby. She actually hit me up

13:38

yesterday to ask for some money to

13:40

help cover rent. Okay, admittedly, I don't

13:42

fully understand how the military works. Is

13:45

that a thing where if

13:47

you marry someone and then you're deployed

13:49

and then they get knocked up with

13:51

someone else's baby, the military expects you

13:53

to keep what? Giving that person money?

13:57
