- r/Maliciouscompliance In today's episode, OP buys a home out in the country to enjoy a quiet life. A property development firm buys up all of the surrounding land and turns the quiet neighborhood into a suburb. The developers then start pressuring OP into joining an HOA. OP refuses, which causes them to constantly harass OP over and over about the HOA. OP eventually gets sick of it and hires a lawyer. After some investigating, OP learns that the developers broke several laws in building these houses, resulting in fines exceeding $1,000,000!

10/10 British accent.
When I read "Super Saiyan 3 British," I imagined OP getting super buff and shouting "CHEERIOOOOOOO" before evolving to his final form. Don't ask me why.
Wot wot, Toodle Pip good chap!
LMFAO that's the most hilarious mental image
"This....is to go..even further beyond!"
Yes. Just yes.
We don’t even say Cherio 😭
Shout out to the OP of the first story for giving money to their tenants.
Some people have good hearts
If* it's real.
sounds a lot like "everyone clapped" kinda vibes
@@L3onking I think it's real cause most then they clapped parts are over flexed but it was barely talked about other then the one line
That is awesome because the tenants where also being harassed by the HOA but didn't have the money to pursue a harassment case.
@@rakali0794 if it is, this guy must be awesome to grab a beer with
I wouldn't have settled with the HOA in the first story. They were warned countless times. At that point they don't deserve mercy. They went above and beyond harassment. Those fake eviction letters were fucking evil.
Sometimes it's more cost effective to settle since big companies like to drag things out in court as long as possible and the legal fess will continue to grow
Also some judges don't look favorably on cases that could have settled for an reasonable amount, as they view this as using the system maliciously.
its usually not worth the effort
To be honest they didn't got mercy. OP got alway with a nice sum of money, while the HOA idiots got smashed with fines much bigger than what they would pay OP if the case kept going
@@BeanManolo yes. Now they have state and county compliance/building inspection non-compliance issues to deal with. Hopefully not permit issues - usually that results in removing un-permitted structures , or at the very least tearing out walls so electrical and plumbing contractors can inspect it t see it’s up to code.
"what is a scouser because that sounds like a racial slur" is probably one of my favourite moments as of late.
Also lol at that OP calling themselves "english, not british" when the only time there's a distinction for an individual is when they're british and not english
I feel like a good HoA is a glitch in the matrix at this point. Either way, it feels like the company behind this one just got legal weight to throw around in this case, not realizing how lightweight they really were
Man, my neighborhood must be a matrix glitch.. huh.
Those exist? I just got out of paying $8,000 for leaving my garbage bin outside!
It's just that we never hear about the good ones because they're good and so no one has any reason to complain about them.
@@AFoxGuy Enjoy it while it lasts. Sooner or later a new board will get voted in that either really doesn't like you or just wants your money.
@@CloverField83 that's just how it is, you do a good job for example, it never gets mentioned. You screw up at work and you WILL hear about it.
The last story is, once again, a perfect example why you should never try to pin a management level mistake on someone below you. You might royally screw things up.
"You can take a pay cut or leave." "Bye,"
@@Ambidexter143 "You weren't supposed to do that"
@@Ambidexter143 I can't help think that was the wrong way to handle it though. Better would have been to simply say no to both options. If they dock your pay, sue them for the lost wages. If they fire you, sue them for wrongful termination.
@@wingracer1614 true, but do you want to work for people who are happy to throw you under the bus like that?
@@sarah-my1xp No but I sure wouldn't mind suing their pants off
The English story: that intern is lucky OP speaks reasonably vanilla English. I'd have gone in the exact opposite direction and went full Scouser on her. I live in Glasgow and after 10 years, I can just about understand the local patter.
I grew up in Glasgow, just outside the city.
A relative who has lived all over north America tells a story about going to Paris, getting in a taxi & asking if the driver spoke English. Yes. They got talking.
The driver told him he'd picked up a guy from Glasgow the previous week who asked him the same. After 5 mins in the taxi, the driver said to the Glasweigian:
_"Do you speak English?"_
I had the same when doing my postgrad work at Edinburgh. I was one of very few Scots. Lots of people came to study at a department that was leading in that research area - and because it was an English-speaking country. LOTS of people commented to me at some point, _"I came here because they speak English in Scotland... But..."_
I was the de facto Scots translator.
Then there was the time my American flatmate got tickets to a concert and had to tell me she was going to Sauchiehall Street. 🤣
Wha's like us? ;)
Mate try talking to a NED you’ll never understand them
Correction. Try talking to a drunk NED. A gazillion times worse. Being a hairy arsed Glaswegian myself i think I'm allowed to say that. lol
What is a NED?
@@piepding
'Non educated delinquent'. Although tbh, nobody's sure if the name or descriptors came first.
Closest you get in the US would be 'trailer trash' - but it specifically refers to groups of young people along with the other connotations.
It's one of those hard to describe terms.
The reason the "British" person would be getting annoyed is that to a lot of America, when they refer so someone as British they mean London and the north of England ( Liverpool included) has a fairly strong rivalry with the South and specially London. The traditional British stereotypes are primarily specially London and go on out how they are all posh aristocrats types, where as the north of England is very working class and have very little opportunity to be much more specifically because the rich southerners that run the country keep the wealth with them in the south and don't develope anything up north
Yanks are so clueless about "feriners."
Oh GOD that's it to the TEA 😜
I'm from Bristol but kinda lost my accent when I lived in Scotland for a while and I get very cross when people mistakes me for anything other than a Worzel 🤣 "Yur rhiiiight me lovr!!"
Agree with all that. Look at a map of votes in for Brexit and you can see Liverpool as a clear remain place. The UK government tried to destroy us in the 80s (mainly Thatcher) but EU grants helped us survive and then thrive
@@michaelokeefe6519 HERE HERE !!!!
@@timothybattey171 the fact that you are referring to people in the Southern US as Yanks cracks me up! Thanks for the laugh
Imagine being a tenet and your landlord pays you $10k to because you’ve had to deal with being constantly harassed by a nearby HOA.
That story screams things that never happened
That's "tenant."
The fact the British guy was a scouser actually made me laugh out so loud! It made the story 100% more funny.
You've got to watch some videos with scousers in to really understand 😂
There are some great YT videos about 'British Accents' where people go around the map showing that THERE'S NO SUCH THING!!
As a Scot who has just spent a few years living in the US, I shared them a lot. Also lost count of how many times I was told, "You speak very good English."

Silent d?!
It always amazes me when bosses think that threatening your job is a good thing. I had a boss who decided the company was going to become a distributor for a product manufactured in Canada. (We were in the Buffalo, NY area) It was a family-owned business and his mother was 100% behind this--until I pointed out to her that WE would be the ones fielding all the calls about this product. When I asked him what I was going to get out of having all this additional work added to my job, he replied, "Your continued employment." I immediately replied, "I can get another job. What's in it for me TO STAY?" He had no answer. The business never became a distributor. LOL
My last manager threatened me with my job... she kept changing the status of tickets on the fly and that made them not make it through the process. I kept asking her not to and why. So, she threatened me with my job.
I just found a new job and turned in my notice 3 weeks later. I was the only person doing IT Intake...making sure all the requests for IT services were appropriately approved. (*shrug*) Sucks to be her.
Fun fact, just because somebody you call in a call center has an accent doesn't mean you aren't talking to an American. A lot of Indian Americans work in call centers in America too.
Yes, but they want an ACTUAL American with a 'murican accent. *dripping with sarcasm, if you couldn't tell*
@@AzureKyle 🤣🤣🤣
Yea but a lot of companies also outsource call centre work to India and Pakistan because it's cheaper than paying people in the home country to do the work.
@@toshiroyamada2443 I understand that... Everyone understands that. As a former call center worker myself, its inexcusable to be rude to them. They're just honest people trying to make a living like everyone else.
Worked in a call center in Texas, several Asian Americans worked there (all over Asia, potlucks were fucking amazing) and they'd get the "I want an American" and transfer to me with a note. I'd put on my best southern accent and answer, they usually just gave up.
"Scouser" or "Scouse" is an accent and dialect centered around Liverpool and Merseyside. The UK has a lot of different accents and regional dialects for being such a geographically small nation, there's a lot of history behind it. Almost every large city has its own variation.
Saying "British accent" makes about as much sense as saying "American accent" - it's very imprecice and can refer to one of any number of different accents found in the country or continent.
Yeah, 'British accent' is a mythical thing that only exists in the USA.
With my Scottish accent, I have been told many times, by Americans, _"You speak very good English."
Cheers. 🤔
@@gmun2248 you could always reply "Thanks, you're not too bad at it yourself, for a yank."
@@TheKillerqueen40
I opt for, "and you speak excellent American." ;)
I hate people who think that an accent, a different skin color, or the ability to speak multiple languages automatically means people don’t speak English. I knew someone who fit all three categories who spoke English better than the pastiest of white English speakers.
Dumdums gonna dumdum ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
When I was 18 I moved to a city that has a huge ethnically Chinese population, some immigrants, some 2nd + generation. I was working in a retail store and was feeling really anxious about each customer I approached not being able to speak English and all approaching my colleagues instead. I was in the zone, enunciating and using essential vocabulary, when I started talking to this customer slowly and with hand gestures, and she replied in fluent English. I instantly felt so ashamed that I assumed she couldn't speak English. From then on, I tried to always speak in an understandable but respectful way.
Last girl I was with could speak French, Indian, Japanese, Chinese, and German. She was a native English speaker though, she'd purposely jump languages when someone assumed what language she spoke by how she looked.
I worked with a guy who got his US citizenship when he was in the Navy, originally from Colombia, but they moved when he was 3-4 years old. No accent, until an explosion on his ship. His eardrums were blasted out, and he developed a slightly Colombian slurry voice when his hearing aids were in. It infuriated me when customers trashed on any of my coworkers for having an accent, but I was LIVID when he transferred me a customer who immediately started insulting him for not being American. My coworker came over to my desk to keep me from screaming at this customer. He's such a great guy.
Right?! I live in South Africa and for some reason a lot of tourists are shocked that we can speak English. They don't seem to realize that English is usually a mandatory language, even if someone here doesn't have English as a 1st language it is usually their 2nd or 3rd language.
9:05 "A guy asked me out and I turned him down but then he just stopped trying! Didn't he know that I was just playing hard to get?"
The Neighbor in her youth probably.
The neighbor is probably the exact same type of person who would revoke the overtime privileges of her employees and then wonder why they stopped working and went home when their shift was scheduled to end, when she wanted them to continue to work beyond their work hours, she just didn’t want to pay them overtime.
I met an English man once. He worked doordash in my city in the US. We talked for a short while but he had to leave to do other deliveries. Would have liked to have a beer with him. He was interesting to talk with.
I met a lovely young woman and her boyfriend that are British and we hit it off and hang out all the time.
HOA: We will bug you till you join us
OP: You might want to rob a bank to cover legal fees
After 25 years, we’re finally building a house. NO HOA was huge to me. When we talked to Not Ryan Homes, EVERY PLACE they build has an HOA. No. Just no HOA. Did not buy from Not Ryan Homes.
Stay away from Lennar, too. Former employee, everything's HOA. Watched coworkers get screwed by company policy when buying company discounted housing. I will NEVER accept a HOA.
@@sherylcascadden4988 Both Ryan & Morano tried to “sell us” on the benefits of an HOA. My husband looked at the agent, looked back at me & back at the agent. I’m an artist with black/purple hair, a coffin barrette, a plague Dr necklace & a Beetlejuice backpack/ purse. “We do not believe an HOA is for us”. Damn straight. I would be a nightmare without trying.

Yep. Glad someone thought to comment on it.
"What is a 'scouser'? It sounds like a racial slur..." I lost my sh!t laughing 😂💀
likewise being a scouser :)
I've seen an online news report where an HOA foreclosed on 19 homes leaving the families with out notice that they were going to lose their homes for unpaid fines.
"What's a scoucer, sounds like a racial slur?" This one got me.
Just want to point out that, in story 1, where the company sent the "Eviction Notice" labelled envelope... that's not just harassment... that can constitute fraud. Pretty sure that certainly would have factored into a court case if it went that far.
Karen: *"Don't touch my clothes!!"*
OP: **Doesn't touch her clothes, and it gets wet**
Karen: *"Why didn't you grab my clothes??"*
OP: *"You told me not to touch them!"*
Karen: **Realizing she's being called out** **Insults OP anyway**
And tells on her to the landlady
It’s stories like these that make me want to NEVER have neighbors closer than a mile to me and my home!
As someone who doesn't live in the USA, can someone explain me what's the actual point of HOA?, where I live, the closest we have is a community group, but you aren't obligated to pay nor they can't put a fee on you because your grass being too tall
Im not american but what i gather a HOA is just a fund for community events
Also not American, but I think the point of them is for housewives to feel like they have a job or purpose
it's to keep up property values.
The point is to "better the neighborhood" and increase the worth of the houses in the neighborhood. If your neighbors house looks like shit, it brings down the worth of your house because no one wants bad neighbors. That is the only upside, barely, though it doesn't work. Most of the time HOAs are filled with crappy rich people who just want more money, don't care that people live in the houses, and view them as money makers. There is a reason that house prices go up and there are more and more homelessness, and it's because of people treating houses as assets and not someone's home.
They basically work as a shady PR team to help make a neighborhood "look better" to run housing prices up while getting deals on cheap landscaping to put paint on a pig
That tech support story reminds me of my days in a call center. I live in Canada, English is my first language and I have no accent (other than maybe a slight regional one), but I'm also fluent in French so it made it real easy for this company to take advantage of my whole department and make us handle everything but fraud for the whole damn country. I was speaking to a French man from Quebec who yelled at me to transfer him to someone who "spoke proper French" (even though my accent was one of the better ones in the department, still is in my new job) but whatever, that's a stereotypical Quebecois for you. The funniest one was a racist English speaker from prairies. When we answered the phone we had to say "Thank you for calling x company, my name is blank" and obviously my name is not common in English speaking counties. Buddy was convinced that I was lying when I said "I speak English, I'm from Canada, yes that's my name, no I didn't immigrate here" so after a racist tirade he told me to transfer him to a Canadian. Sure buddy. I dropped him back in the English line and since no one in my department got him that means he got sent right back to the Philippines. I hope he got stuck being passed around the English queue for hours.
If someone comes on to your property and asks you to join a HOA, don't let them leave alive. Period.
I'm surprised that OP gave the $10k to the tenants considering how much it had to cost for their expensive lawyers to fight the HOA people. That was extremely nice of them to do. I don't think many people would do that.
Also, about the story with the clothes lines, you would think people would appreciate the fact that OP was so considerable of other people's clothes. I think a lot of people wouldn't bother because they wouldn't want to be accused of taking something or bc it wasn't their responsibility but it clearly became something that was expected of OP. I think those neighbors should have at least all chipped in for a gift card to show how much they appreciated OP going out of their way to save others clothes from getting wet. At least, if that was me that is what I'd do.
It might have pushed them into a higher tax bracket, which would have cost them more than the $10K.
Or the HOA also paid their legal fees as part of the settlement.
@@michaelterrell That's not how tax brackets work.
@@melkiorwiseman5234 So, you know which bracket the owner was in?
@@michaelterrell It makes no difference what tax bracket they're in. Going up a tax bracket does not cause you to lose more money than you gained, because that's not how tax brackets work.
Wow, gave $10K to tenants. Very very hospitable.
There is never an advantage to an HOA. NEVER NEVER NEVER.
I saw some HOA story that where nice, but they are rare as fuck. They almost always are shitty HOA full of power hungry crazies.
Nonsense. I've been in two fantastic HOAs. Just because the worst offenders get stories on reddit doesn't mean there aren't great ones
Landlord: gives ten grand to tenants
Tenants: use it as a down payment on a reasonably priced house
Where?
Seriously, where?
When I had $12k set aside as savings for a down payment in the 80s I was laughed at for thinking such a low number would even be considered.
@@sherylcascadden4988 with an Fha loan you can put 3% down. Here in Rockford illinois there are perfectly good houses at 100k (:
A Scouser is someone from Liverpool in NW England. The Beatles were Scousers.
Edit to say, I went straight to the comments to post this before listening to the rest of the story therefore before the clickety-click of slash's keyboard as he googled what a Scouser is lol
I’m English, I used to date a scouser and their accent is incredibly distinctive and different to the “upper class” southern English that is the stereotype. I’m not really surprised she got confused!
I love it when people say “you don’t sound like you’re British” when I’m gaming online. I don’t even have a specific accent anymore, but I still live in England. Had some guy ask me if I know the queen once too 🤦♂️
She doesnt know english people if she doesnt know our scourers
The last story reminds me of my time at my last job where i was working the job of 10 people, getting threatened by my employees and getting bullied by my managers. I worked hard and was so stressed that I was crying every single day but I did what I could to make sure all the food was prepped and that our customers were happy. Then, corporate came down on the managers and they basically threw me under the bus. They blamed me for every screw up and they said I'm the reason nothing gets done. They made me have a panic attack and they said "either you take a demotion or you quit." So I gave my two weeks. I just had to decide whether I wanted to walk out or give my two weeks. I gave my two weeks because I still had people I highly respected and I worked there for 4 years. I owed them that much. But it's funny how they basically told me that I can't do the job as a supervisor and that all I do is laze around and joke with my friends and yet in the year and a half I worked at this new job I went from cashier to operations rx supervisor and currently training to be an operations manager (It took me 2 years to be promoted to a supervisor at my last job even tho I was already doing the job and my male friend got promoted in 2 months.)
3rd story, that intern should find an attorney and sue for hostile workplace.
I once introduced myself as a Australian born Filipino raised boy but people were skeptical. This one dude was rude and said “You don’t sound like an Australian”. Then one day, some visitors from Australia came and the dude who was rude didn’t understand the Australian. I then said “Sorry ‘bout that mate. This man can’t speak English fluently yet” in my Australian accent.
Note: I was raised in the Philippines since I was 3 so my Australian accent is mixed with Filipino and some form of American
Edit: Grammar fix
There's one thing employers should always remember: If you threat someone with terminating their contract, they might just accept. So either be prepared for that occasion, or don't make empty "threats".
I am british and am insulted OP did not hang a portrait of Lord Horatio Nelson or Winston Churchill
That story about the HOA was nice to hear that OP decided to give the money to the tenants. He didn't have to. They were the ones actually getting harrased, and OP stepped up, got the money, and gave it to the tenants. Usually, in a story like this, the owner would keep the money.
Oh man you know that first lawyer started salivating when they discovered that haha
2:25 “…and new horses being sold…” honesty probably one of the first mispronunciation I have heard in like 2 years of listening so massive props
The neighbor doesn't want OP to touch her clothes, but still gets pissy when OP didn't take her clothes off the clothesline. WTF lady how is he going to do that without touching them. But to go and complain about it to the landlord and think she was in the right. I feel sorry for OP to have that nutty rude neighbor.
For that "Scoucer" thing... go look up TotalBiscuit's podcast episode where Gopher was the invites guest. You will learn that each region in England has its own accent and slang.
Techmoan comes to mind in regards to regional accents in England. I believe he's from Wigan (not that far from L'pool)
Its not just England its the whole of the UK. Within a span of 30miles you can have a totally different accent. Like scousers (Liverpool) and Mancs (Manchester)
@@233kosta Yep, he has parts from Scouse and Manc. Not surprising since Wigan is in-between :)))
Basically the person from the Bri'ish story is from Liverpool, also a lot of people across the uk don't like being called British because it tends to lump us all into one. For instance, I'm Scottish, and I hate being referred to as British because it almost always refers to a posh stuck up stereotype of an English Parliament Member.
I hope that everyone is having a good Saturday!
Yes
Thank you. You as well, good sir.

I can give some insight into “Totally not Ryan Homes” the guy who built my home almost 20yrs ago used to own them, he was a great guy & was never into the sleazy stuff (I can’t talk for his employees or partners), shortly after building my home & the 55+ condo community behind my area he sold his share of the company due to a few things, 1) he got badly injured (broke his back, collarbone & pelvis) falling from one of the 4 story condos behind my house (luckily the ground was freshly turned dirt so it was softer than usual) & 2) he was being pressured by his other partners to let them completely take over while he was down & out from his injuries, he allowed it to happen because there was nothing he could do otherwise, however he started to hear about all the nasty stuff they were doing & knew the only way to save his own name was to distance himself so he sold his share because he knew if he waited until he was better to go back it would be a complete nightmare to deal with. He was & still is an amazing guy, whenever anything goes wrong with my house he still comes by to help even though his only connection to me is he knew my parents before they died & he built my home 20yrs ago, he doesn’t have to help yet he does because of how good hearted he is. He also gifted me a quad years ago that had all the professional riding parts, it was easily a $15k quad yet just handed it over because of how much I loved riding quads & mine was stolen, if that doesn’t tell you he was a good person idk what will. It’s a shame what happened to his company but I don’t blame him for pulling out as he wasn’t physically able to deal with it at the time due to his injuries. (for privacy reasons I will not share his name, I hope y’all understand) also my home was indeed lawfully inspected, back when the guy I knew owned most of “Totally not Ryan Homes” things were actually done right, it’s sad to see what it turned into after he left, but I’m not surprised, he was the only one in it for way more than just money, he actually cared about people & his partners clearly didn’t.
best landlords EVERr: not only do they pay their lawyer to settle some stupid company harassment they also give their tenants $10k for the inconvenience
always nice when your landlord is on YOUR side
First story probably happens all over the country by all these companies buying up houses. Wish our government stop quarreling about sides and start actually protecting us. There's no reason a roach infested apartment should close what it does these days.
City’s are just as bad if not worse than HOA’S. My coworker (we are nurses) during the beginning pandemic she was working 75-80 hours a week. So naturally she didn’t have time to cut her grass or clean her pool. The city fined her 200 dollars for her grass being “too tall” and fined 200 for her pool being slightly green this was also during when pool chemicals were hard to find. She went to the magistrates office and tried to talk to them but they didn’t care.
I’m also in VA! Can confirm that that building company in the first story sucks and the realtors in my family who I like despise them.
2:25 - New _horses_ being built up and sold?!
That last story would fit they Joey meme perfectly:
“Take the demotion, or quit” :)
“Alright, I quit” :o
British means from Great Britain. That is England, Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland and all territories under British rule (excl. dominions).
Only those who originate from England are, well, English.
For example: John Oliver and Craig Ferguson are both British, but the former is English and the latter is Scottish.
As a brazilian I'll never understand HOAs, since they aren't a thing here (close we have is apartment's managers, who are voted by the people who live in apartments, and have much less power than a HOA president);
If it was here what Ryan Homes did would get them in even deeper trouble. The moment they started trying to sling their weight around to get the houses from the previous tenants, they'd be met by a police officer and told to stop that or be arrested.
RE: English Guy - I've commented about this on Reddit, Facebook, and other places. I was born in the US, LA California. I discovered that there is an implicit bias where I live regarding the English. Nearly everyone around here were/is a complete A-hole to you if you speak with the regional accent (US Pacific Northwest). Throw on an English accent? Kind, polite, and helpful.
As a voice actor who's been doing this for 30 out of my 40 years of age, this is so damn easy. It's actually saved me from a bunch of Karens and Chads, because they hear that accent and it's quite disarming.
While the first OP of supposed to be the protagonist of that story they make it very hard to be sympathetic towards them. They make sure you know they're more wealthy than their neighbors several times and then ending it with we gave the money away feels like a false "and then everyone clapped" to garner clout.
I'm pretty sure that first story happened in my area of Florida if it is the lawyer lives not far from me and apparently his favorite pass time is destroying HOAs because he has fought Ryan homes a couple of times
They said "northern neck of VA". There are a ton of Ryan homes around DC.
@@IceNixie0102 ok I must have missed that thank you
Scousers are from Liverpool, Merseyside in the North West of England. I think they typically have accents that are derived from Ireland as a lot of Irish moved there to work on the docks during the Industrial Revolution. Check out Brit comedian Harry Enfield and his sketches "The Scousers" for an OTT depiction. "Calm down, calm down!"
Famous rock/pop bands from Liverpool include the Beatles, Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark and the Lightening Seeds.
5:50 Harvey Spector was their lawyer

But apparently I pick up on peoples accents so easily that I don’t HAVE one specific accent, and so I don’t sound like I’m from Britain… or anywhere really.
I’ve had people guess America, Australia, Ireland, Italy, Spain, France, etc…
And then they’d say “but I’m not really sure” or “oh actually no, this place! Or this place? Or maybe you’ve moved a lot?”
I love how when slash doesn’t understand something or comes across something that most people (including myself) don’t understand he googles it and explains
British is someone from Great Britain, but since Great Britain is formed by England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland they distinguish themselves between the others (Respectively English, Scottish, Welsh and Northern Irish).
It's like for American people when they say I'm American and I'm Texan for example.
And now that i have continued the video i realised that you searched it up on the internet..... 🥺😭
Same lol, I gave an explanation until I heard the rest of the vid
Great Britain is just Scotland England and Wales. The UK is Great Britain and Northern Ireland
@@catkin567
Yep!
*"Britain"* refers to the union of England and Wales but is also used as shorthand for both of the below.
*"Great Britain"* refers to the union of England, Wales and Scotland (turns out it was Scotland that made Britain great) but is often used as shorthand for the U.K..
"The U.K."'s full title is "The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland".
@@jordanknight3519 No Great Britain is not used as shorthand for the UK, unless someone wants to be wrong. Great Britain is a geographical location, the 3 countries of England, Scotland and Wales in one island. The UK is a political union of the three countries that make up Great Britain plus Northern Ireland.
@@catkin567
It _does_ get used as shorthand. I'm aware of what the terms mean, I literally wrote them out, but Great Britain or "GB" _does_ often get used interchangeably with "U.K.".
That last story... what?
"Oh. It's not your fault based on your evidence. But you need to take the fall"
What in the hell? I would have laughed at her and said no.
We Englishmen are known for our mild distrust of anyone new (due to being conquered so many times in our past), but we have a generally welcoming nature when we know your intentions (we don't give a toss about drama), our tendency to go from 1 to 1000 very quickly (we are laid back but if you p!ss us off we would have just k!lled you and nicked your country lol), we would rather destroy you mentally through satirical witticisms and we are masters of Malicious Compliance.
Mate your people conquered my country (Scotland) committed acts of genocide against Indians don’t play the victim
@@kratosboy5557 lol wait
Last night waiting till 7 for rslash. Tomorrow I'll be waking up to it!
11:55 funnily enough, I thought the opposite was true! Well now I know lol
I used to work at the Dell kiosks they had in the mall. We pretty much just helped people understand how to pick out a computer and helped them order it.
So, I worked with another American, a Hindi fellow, and a Chinese fellow. One day a customer called and got the Hindi guy. He started going on a tangent about being sent over to India and blah blah blah, so the phone was handed to our Chinese guy xD
The customer hung up livid.
As a scouser, this is pettiness EXACTLY what we would do. I love the accurate representation in a RSlash video!
All I know is if you call a Scotsman or an Irishman ‘English,’ you’d better be fully prepared to catch a tongue-lashing at the absolute minimum.
Upgrade that to catching fists if the setting is a pub.
The OP in the first story (? I think this is the right one) is also, one of the greatest people of all time.
I never would have guessed that my hometown would ever be mentioned in a reddit post. But when I heard Round Rock I was like hell yeah!!
And that's why you don't make people responsible for messups they didn't do (last story) 😄
Bosses should learn not to go to their hard-working employees and give them an ultimatum unless they are prepared for both outcomes. Giving an ultimatum that leads to them quitting and them not being prepared for that option is dumb. If you are going to tell them to do this or quit, you had better have a plan if they choose to quit.
Property tax should never be based on more than the latest buy price. For example, if you bought the house for 250,000 USD, the property tax you're liable for should be based off of that for as long as you are the owner.
Haha, nobody knows Round Rock, Tx! But yeah, it's 20 mins north of Austin and indeed, has the Dell HQ!
I love those penny-pinching managers!!!
I find penny pinching managers despicable, but fun to laugh at.
> My wife and i got 10 grand in the settlement amd we gave it to pur tennants.
Uh yes Alex, I'll take "$h!t that didnt happen for $500"
The 1st OP has a real poetic turn of phrase, lmfao
Malicious compliance, or as I like to call it "Fuck around and find out."
Intern: "no, you don't look british enough yet"
OP: "And this... IS... TO GO... EVEN FURTHER BEYOND!!!" **Goku scream**
"Right-o, love, however, THIS is to go even further beyond, my good chap!"
Did you know the State of California is very... slow... on updating it's tax records?
Some properties are still being taxed on rates set in the 1970's because they have not yet come up for audit.
Almost like someone understood that 'taxed out of house and home' can happen, and turned a blind eye for single home owners in an attempt to prevent it from happening as much as other states. Well, until a few years ago that was... when some of these 'loopholes' to avoid audits started to be closed and people started finding themselves hit with massive increases. Now more people are now leaving California due to cost of living expenses... and I wonder why?!
As an English lass who lived in Liverpool a really long time, I absolutely love that story and rslash's commentary 🤣
11:27 now I’m just thinking of the gag of doing an act then suddenly dropping the act, explaining why the other person is an idiot. And finally throwing the monocle on the ground and stomping away
There's no such thing as "a British accent" - there are hundreds of them, depending on which part of the UK one is from. There's not even such a thing as "an English accent" - there's got to be several dozen of them at least. Just because you saw a film with an an English actor doesn't mean that we all speak with that exact accent.
ps: also applies to a Scottish, Welsh or Irish accent; dozens of each.
I flashed back to Jacksepticeye’s video about his Irish accent. Just like Ameican English and English English, where you live determines accent, slang, even cadence of speech.
FYI I didn’t purposely misspell American, autocorrect/word suggestions thing did. I did leave it as is purposefully. Lol
@@lynneconklin917 - lol that' spellcheck suggestion is a new one to me!
There's not even one single "cockney accent"; I was brought up in West Ham and my friend was brought up in Stepney and we have slightly different accents - and that's a distance of only a few miles.
Yeah I'm originally from Northampton and that's just a small town but it has like 3 seperate "accents" just in and of itself, there's the posher sounding one, the more London influenced one, and then one I've just never been able to place I'm assuming it's probably influenced by the varying cultures of people who have ended up calling the town home.
I've been told I have an obviously "British" accent but that my accent is unusual compared to the town I'm from because it's a mixture of the posher and the London northamptonian accents but then it's also been influenced by the majority of my family being from the North of the country. Though apparently I just sound fully posh when I swear which is hilarious to me because I don't hear it at all 😂
British has two meanings. One is a superset of English, the other is a descendent of the Britons. Scouse is what Shaun is. It's relatively close to American English.
Buying stuff individually cost less than buying it together that is really weird.
that 3rd story was hilarious
About the story where OP is English, when he says he is a Scouser, it means he is from Liverpool.
