Six years ago my former coworker's house burnt down and I gave them a decent amount of money, no strings.
Three weeks ago the same person gave me a job making 30% more money than I was.
It goes around the nice way too sometimes.
lol the pettiness of some people
We don’t know that was why they denied it, this could be shadenfreud (sp?) because they would be denied regardless.
At least I choose to believe that, because I can’t imagine being petty enough to do that.
This type of thing is the nominal purpose of credit scores, I believe. (Whether they're implemented effectively is another story...)
Oh my god, yes. Your best victory is the victory of succeeding at something and moving the fuck on with your life if you can. People are shitty. Our environment is shitty. It is what it is. Keep trucking. I am a product of my environment, but I can control some of it. In my opinion, chasing your goals, time and distance is a solution for all social ills. Well maybe not all but I mean shit you gotta try
The best victory is watching them suffer as they made you.
The best victory is watching them suffer as they made you.
The best revenge is living well.
Fuck bankers
I think they're hot too.
To normal people: be nice to kids because they need the support and encouragement to grow into stable adults with a healthy sense of self worth.
To the selfish people: be nice to kids because you never know when you might need their mercy in the future.
Have you seen what kind of people a spoilt child turns into? It’s tyranny. That’s not a selling point.
It says a lot about you that your takeaway from my comment was that being kind and encouraging to kids is spoiling them.
For people: be nice to kids because you later need them to pay your "elderly money"
I'm all for pettyness in most cases.. but uhh. This is a bit much don't ya think?
Not really, this is the future they built for themselves. And less debt when they're likely on a fixed income might be a hidden blessing.
No quarter to people who treat children like shit.
I’ve held an interview with one of my former school bullies from highschool for a position under my team. I only had a suspicion when I came across the resume, but I just knew it was him when I saw his face on cam.
It was nice seeing him fumble over the curveball technical questions that I threw at him, and told HR that he wasn’t only a poor fit, but not to even send a follow up response l either.
Not a school bully but more of an adult would-be bully/asshole. I saw his resume come across my bpss's desk and I made sure he didnt even get considered for an interview. Feels good man.
Did you ask him to respond to something or is sending thank yous or reaching out for being interviewed expected?
This reminds me of the simpsons when Lisa learns what kind of life her teachers live so she decides to be much nicer to these people who spend so much of their days with children sacrificing to a life of service and little thanks.
But you’re the opposite.
Face it: kids can be a lot. Sometimes you got to own that you were the little shit in someone’s life sometimes.
Children can't be held to the standard of adults. Teachers certainly should be paid more but if you can't handle working with kids teaching might not be your gig.
Teachers are understaffed and underpaid. You cannot even afford to be dismissive with your kid’s education.
I’d like to know more context. Without it, it makes the poster seem like a traitor.
agreed and affirmed but since we're here, fuck banks
If I had it I'd share it!
You don't get to choose. The numbers go into a spreadsheet. An answer comes out.
Yeah, my reading of this is that this poster took particular personal satisfaction from denying an application, but it didn't cross my mind that there was any element of actual control or decisionmaking.
It's like when someone cuts you off and then crashes their car. You didn't cause the crash, and a crashed car is a much more severe punishment than simple rudeness would deserve, but you can still derive satisfaction from the sequence of events.
That is definitely not true. But that’s not the context I meant.
How do people even remember names for so long?
had a teacher traumatize and humiliate me for four years.
I contemplated suicide at 12 years old.
Luckily I found strength in my spite and hatred for her to push forward.
last I heard, her husband died of colon cancer, she lost the farm and her house, and her only son turned out to be gay (they were "Christians").
I still remember her nasty mustache and shitty attitude, and will always remember her.
I'm doing good in my life, better than her.
there's only one other person who I hate more and I'm eagerly waiting to toast to their deaths.
they are literally the only people I could never forgive.
before you pass judgment ask yourself this, "who tells a bullied overweight 12 year old who is clearly having home problems that they need to 'lose some weight' and they won't 'be so fat'. 'who knows, you might not be such a loser like your father.'
There's been exactly one school shooting in my country. Teacher bullied a kid whose father was a strict army man. Gave him worse grades on purpose knowing he'd have to run 20 km home for it, etc. So one day he went to school with a gun and shot that one teacher and nobody else. So that's what a shitty teacher (and a shitty father) can do to a child.
Wasn't my hometown but I knew people who went to the same school at the same time. Nobody condoned the murder, but people did see where he was coming from.
I remember all my teacher's names from preschool through high school, is that strange?
Highly so
I can barely remember the names of my close friends from elementary and middle school. Can't remember all of them. Only reason I can remember the high school friends is the yearbook, and I've still forgot half of them.
No, I can as well.
Not weird to me. I still remember every single teacher’s name to this day…I started school in 1978.
That's pretty impressive. I started school in 1973 and I can remember a couple of teachers' names at most.
I've never heard the phrase swings and roundabouts used this way.
Usually it means two things are similar so you don't really have strong feelings either way.
You get what you give. Don't become the monster. A real class act would just dangle it in front of them and then just approve it anyways. Like bitch I'm over it, I don't give a fuck. You're just a dumb ass speed bump.
Being a class act is extremely overrated. People should get what they have coming
Why not both? Give people who deserve it grace and be the bigger person and burn those that don't to the ground.
Of course, if you find out that they did deserve grace later, you'll need to destroy the biggest monster of all, yourself.
There are some teachers I had who were absolutely bad people, but honestly, they are teachers and you are not. You already have the best revenge.
You're going to send your kids to these schools. And as we start lowering the bar more and more, we're going to have some very anti-social human beings around people's children. And those children are going to become citizens in our society. Hurt people, hurt people, in which they shouldn't. You should break the cycle and overthrow kings. There is a reason why things are the way they are. And if not aware, you can become a product of your environment.
Someone was mean to me so i killed them - completely sane reaction.
Aah yes. Because declining someone's mortgage application = literal murder.
/s
have you heard of stylistic devices? this one is called
exaggerationhyperbole.
