"Unfortunately, blocking phone numbers wasn't a feature in my plan"
Ah yeah, perfect business strategy.
Charge people for RECEIVING messages, then make it impossible to block numbers.
In my country, you only paid for outgoing communications. Receiving a call or message was free.
Probably 2009 Verizon or something.
I used to have pay per texts and Verizon would actually charge me for balance inquiries, only problem was it was automatic and would text me every day
@@itscs1175 Seriously? "Your balance is $5.75" "We mean $5.50" "Actually it's $5.25" "More like..." and so forth, ad infinitum.
I actually had a hard time believing that part of the story. I had an ancient Nokia brick phone back then and even on that it was totally possible to block numbers. I find it weird that a much more advanced smartphone wouldn't be able to do the same.
@@itscs1175 damn hard to imagine capitalism actually got better lol
Honestly I think the mom deserves all the shit shes giong to get in the first story, You dont just throw out things like that in a garage sale without informing your kid, even if they werent expensive you never know if you just tossed one of your kids favorite childhood memoribilla because it was "Cluttering the attic"
He was asked to get em out the house. He didn't. Obviously he didn't care enough to take it with him, so he has no right to complain
@@alfedosucksatgames5008He has as much right to complain about this, as his mother will be allowed to complain about him never visiting her in her retirement home.
Because maybe the fact he left them with his mother was because he trusted her, and not because he didn't care about the cards.
she deserves a good amount of swearing
They both suck, he shouldn't leave things he values a lot at his parents' house.
@@KingIsulgard Why do you consider trusting your parents to be such a bad trait?
I know it's kind of naive...
But atleast I don't wanna give up trusting people, just because they could screw one over.
Am I the only one who is kind of pissed at Derek's mom for getting rid of his things, both in the past and the present? Regardless of his being a mega douche, throwing out items from his collection or selling his belongings without his permission is still wrong. Did she even bother to ask him if he still wanted to keep this stuff, or what his plans with it are?
That said.
If I were in the OP's shoes, I would FLIP MY SHIT. They practically won the Pokémon jackpot on this one. As a lifelong mega-fan that's practically a dream for me.
If he cares he'd have taken it with him. She asked a few times for him to take it. He didn't. She was clearing room. If he values his stuff why leave it
Here's what I assumed happened next.
Derek: MOM! Where are my Pokemon stuff???
Mom: Oh, I sold everything for $400.
Derek: **Surprised Pikachu Face**
You win an internet, for most relevant meme usage of the day.
Lost 40.
Paid 400
Got back

I kinda feel bad for the mom in that story. Realizing how much money she lost( and how much the kid definitely chastised her badly) would definitely hurt
I feel bad for Derek as well, imagine he had changed a lot from how he was in 7th and he was a good person now and he lost the things he took such good care of for years and 40,000 worth of stuff for something he did in 7th grade
@@1nn1tmate True. I guess this is why you keep tabs on the people you hold a grudge against
@royalbluegaming7763 or, maybe the fact he never apologized to OP, and left all his shit there without being very clear on their value to his mom is like leaving a raggedy cardboard box with $40k in gold in it on the side of the road and get mad a trash truck stole it
@arjun20901 Even if Derek is a changed person, he should know that actions have consequences. His mom can't really be blamed that much for selling the collection since she repeatedly told her son to get it out of her house.
@@1nn1tmateDerek never sought OP out to apologize, so even if he changed, he deserves no sympathy or mercy, like most bullies don't.
First story. As a Pokémon card collector myself I probably would’ve kept all of it and considered it all a serious steal. For $400 bucks? Some of those vintage cards are worth serious amounts of money. Some cases there are cards that are worth $400 or more just by themselves. Maybe it’s just me but it would gotten me into collecting so much more. It’s a genuine dream of mine to find a binder of Pokémon cards at a garage or yard sale.
Same, I’ve been working on trying to complete master sets and that collection prob would have been a dream come true.
You have no moral compass. You are a bad person
I'm more into the games so I would've kept those. Finding boxed gameboy games in good condition just doesn't happen and if it does well... none of us could afford it.
I have all my childhood games but the boxes are long gone. I was almost as pedantic about keeping things pristine as the bully but my mom understandably didn't want to keep tons of boxes around for seemingly no reason.
@@RisingRevengeance I would’ve been happy with those too! Some of that stuff is my genuine childhood
I got into game collecting when it was cheap in the early 2010s. With how prices are now, there's some games that I would love to own that were $50 or less about 6 years ago that go for $150+ now, so I also wish for a situation like this. I hope they all went to a good home at least rather than just sitting in an attic.
Story One:
OP’s Father’s excuses for not defending his child against the Bully is the equivalent of “Boys will be boys”, “Sticks and stones”, and even “Just ignore them and they’ll leave you alone”.
In other words, some parents just don’t want to be in the middle of their child being bullied, which absolutely sucked!
So I wouldn’t be shocked if OP’s Dad got chewed out years later by OP’s Mom for not being a better dad and DEFEND his child against bullies.
Seriously parents, DO YOUR JOBS AS PARENTS AND PROTECT YOUR KIDS! This whole “Being bullied is a right of passage” is WRONG, and can cause psychological and mental pains for your kids in the future!
i wonder if OP's dad did try to get the $40 back from the bully only to be shot down. but, like, what are you supposed to do? $40 is way to small an amount to go to court over and legally the bully doesn't owe OP the money. in that situation there really isn't anything you can do to get back the money except block the kid from calling, which is what OP's dad did, even going to far as to insist on that even though the phone plan didn't allow it. and later, they switched to a different plan that makes so what happened to OP couldn't happen again.
honestly, i think OP's dad did everything that he could to protect his kid.
@@abiean222 Actually they had a good case in small claims. Derek KNEW what he doing AND what the effect would be, and did so maliciously, he wouldn't be able to argue otherwise due to the two points stated. OP's dad just wasn't willing to put in the effort to teach his son's bully a lesson.
@@black1917There was no proof it was malicious as the son only ever orally told Derek to not write him.
And the fact it's all just been Memes, not hate messages makes that claim fully unprovable, unless Derek admits to it being malicious in front of the court and under oath...
Also, even then, they couldn't have sued for theft, because that's not what happened.
This is literally "just" harassment!
@@Robin93k Pretty sure I never said anything about theft. The financial cost was a result of the harassment and again it will be easy to prove malicious intent as Derek KNEW what he was doing.
Court costs would be way higher than 40$ lol, and that's not even taking in account all the time you'll lose.@@black1917
Better learn a lesson whilst it's still 40$ and go no contact with the 'friend'. That's probably the advice the dad gave.
Seems like the most mature one tbh.
Story 2: Doing something just to appease shareholders usually does not end well. Like, she is not VP material, shoving off responsibilities and then getting angry when someone like OP is unable to do said responsibilities.
Also, you can't "shake off sepsis," she's clearly mad that she actually had to work. Also, firing OP (and likely not being able to find a replacement) would basically FORCE her to do said work.
I'm glad that OP managed to discover a plan to get them fired, because wow is Pamela that vindictive. She deserves nothing higher up the ladder than an employee (that is if she can even hold down a job with that attitude)
As someone with Crohn's, I can confirm that you absolutely cannot "shake off sepsis"-
Something about long prorevenge stories make me all giddy inside, because I know someone bad is going to get their life destroyed
Except that first one is closer to r/imatotalpieceofshit
This is the behavior we're cheering on now?
that's because you're worst
The way my jaw dropped as the first story finished. I thought it was just old cards, which in pristine condition can be very valuable. But consoles and games in BOXES? OP hit the jackpot! I would have for sure kept some and sold some, but yeah, all that stuff paid for itself many times over. Truly diabolical revenge.
Op is a jerk in the story, but he is diabolical indeed.
I'm not always sympathetic to the antagonist of the stories, but that first story really hurt my nerd heartstrings... like damn OP, that's nuclear level revenge for some people.
OP going through how he made bank off all the Pokémon merch, and old sets and consoles, made me imagine how Chris Griffin squealed so much his head exploded when he found all of Peter's "adult content" on the street.
See, in the first story I don't feel bad for anyone involved. The kid was a bully, and the mom was just selling her kid's stuff without asking. Both of them suck and kinda deserve loosing out on $40,000. If I came back to my childhood home and my mom had sold all of my prized collections without telling me I'd be incredibly pissed, who does that, you can't just give away someone else's stuff like that.
He was in middle school 💀
Brother, a lot of people were an asshole in middle school. Sure maliciously depleting $40 from one's balance is bad, but taking 40 grand worth of stuff from someone for what they did as a preteen is diabolical, lol. Quite literally 1000x worse.
If that had happened to me, there is absolutely no way that I'm not going to court over this. You don't just sell someones priced CHILDHOOD collections of cards and games.
I collect vinyl figures and old games, they're not particularly worth a lot besides the figures but if they'd just throw it out I'd be getting back that money one way or another. Because the only person that's allowed to even consider selling or throwing out my belongings is me.
I think the first story is just petty. I’d feel bad for the mom, and what if the kid had changed. OP was just malicious. Over $40 lost when they were kids.
As a kid, he didn't even lose anything, because his dad added another $50 to op's account.
So was Derek, this called karma.
I don't feel bad for her. She shouldn't sell stuff that isn't hers anyway.
@@black1917karma? Nah Derek would have had to murder someone to get that level of karma
@@waspshowerYou seem to be forgetting that what he did to OP wasn't the ONLY thing he did nor was OP his only victim. That shit adds up.
Heard the first story before, on another reddit channel. It didn't say 'napkins' and 'memes' in it, but specifically 'cards' and 'lolcats'. I have a feeling this is a version of the original story that's been stolen and reposted by a bot.
Story 1: almost never say this but that's terms of no contact, as a nerd this is a ultimate fear from your parents that don't share the same hobby with you and her ignorance just cost him the equivalents of life savings
I want to die. I collect Pokémon cards. The first story hurt me for two reasons. To think if that happened to me.
To think, IT WASNT ME WHO FOUND IT ALL
Derek didn't steal the $40, the leach phone company did. Need to call out the real evil, Derek just gave them a good excuse by being a Derek.
Yeah but I can see the reasoning the kid at the time had, kid asked Derek to stop texting because of limits, Derek ignored that.
@@auraguardianemerald6667 a Derek being a Derek. That's a young Chad, lol. 😂 Yea he was a jerk, no question, but that shouldn't have even been a problem. I remember those times, i got the first plan available in my area that had free incoming text and calls just because I wasn't going to pay for stupidity.
Maximum Derek! 🍸
@@willow8186- [Hits reboot button for the millionth time]
. . .Remind me to never upset someone to the point where they'd end up stealing my Pokemon collection. Man, Derek had to have been crushed, that's not something he can recover from. Op sold his childhood basically over something that happened as kids. . . I always dreamed of getting lucky on finding a good pokemon collection in the wild, but to do so maliciously would be cruel, just as it was in Op's case.
I had a boss once that expected me to manage his inbox, and then talked crap about me to another GM over emails. I think in their head, a subordinate's existence is so meaningless that they don't even think about it or care.
I know the first story is pro from the amount everything was worth. However, it being over 40$ from when he was a kid its actually pretty petty
It makes OP a piece of shit honestly. Don't even care if that gets me in trouble. Psychotic behavior
Op knowingly scammed Derek's mother into selling him Derek's lifetime collection because Derek screwed him out of 40 bucks in middle school.
Personally, I think story 1 belongs in nuclear revenge due to how disproportionate it is. That collection was worth, per op's own words, a life-changing amount of money.
@@grottymink7784 Yeah, he possibly destroyed Derek's life, and perhaps his relationship with his mom over a 40$ prank over 10 years before.
As someone on the receiving end of beloved things being put in a yard sale by clueless parents, that stuff stings, and you don't really ever forget it even if you do eventually forgive it. In this case, I don't think forgiving would be on the table at all. :(
Perhaps, since it is a life changing amount of money, Derek will change his life around and stop being awful.
@@MadameMeowth yes let's punish someone a decade later for being a shity preteen middle schooler.
I actually feel bad for Derek in the first story. It sounds like he was never socialized properly and so never fit in or made lasting friends. That collection might have been much more important sentimentally than OP was considering.
I agree
I could see Derek taking his mom to court over the sale. Presumably, he was over 18, so the property was probably legally his. Depending on how that goes, the mother could be the collateral damage of said revenge.
Omfg why would he? It was left in the attic so he probably doesn’t care that much.
@@IISimpleII he probably have no room to store it
@@FenroninDidn't the story say that the mom had asked Derek to get the stuff out and he didn't listen?
agreed.
First story: As someone who literally has all of the games to this day (except Green), that revenge gave me both anxiety AND pride! LMAO
First story belongs in nuclear revenge. OP screwed Derek’s relationship with his mother and likely ruined his life. All over a petty $40 prank when they were 12. Op knowingly scammed Derek’s mum and even said it’s a life changing amount of money
Ruined his life? I agree op sucks buy this hardly ruined his life. Who keeps their life boxed up in their parents attic?
@@mariposa9506 $40K is a life changing amount of money. Even op said that. $40K, at least here in Australia, is the difference between having college debt or a mortgage. While I suppose it doesn’t exactly ruin his life, it severely disadvantages him compared to if he was allowed to claim it’s worth
@@DeanDoesMapping yeah, he didn't try to claim it though. It's not money unless you sell it, and he wasn't.
*SECOND STORY UPDATE* -
There was a note mentioning on the original post that OP originally didn't wanted to have that interview since she believed it would cloud her bosses judgement and she didn't wanted her to risk her job for that kind of petty stuff. Just wanted to fill in the gaps for WHY she didn't wanted to do it
I've been bullied most of my life, and I am not young. But I struggle with the thought that "stealing" $40k is a commensurate punishment for $40. I also wonder if there's some legal recourse for selling something that of yours of such value, even if or especially if the unsanctioned seller was ignorant of its value. And then bragging about it on reddit, confessing both your awareness and intent, could be argued as a scam or con? I feel like maybe OP has failed to learn the lesson about appropriate battles.
It isn't a scam or a crime. Mean? Yes, illgeal? No. OP was a customer and paid what the seller thought was fit, even if the products worth was larger then the price.
Story 1: I don't feel sorry for OP at all because what he did as a grown-up was way worse than what Derek did.
Literally. OP proved he’s 1000% worse of a person.
@@briannad9155how?
@@MarukaiX40 bucks on spammed memes as a 12yo vs 40K dollars worth of a collection done maliciously as a full adult.
There's deserved revenge and then there's this.
@@MarukaiX op literally took $40,000 from someone AS AN ADULT bc of $40 he lost from that person WHEN THEY WERE PRE-TEENS.
That’s like shooting someone in the foot in college bc they punched you once in middle school.
@@briannad9155But he technically bought it, even the mom didn't know the worth, OP still paid for what the mom thought it was worth. I wouldn't tell a single seller that the product they're selling should be sell at a higher price.
Losing $40,000 worth of valuable and sentimental items because of something that happened in 7th grade? Yikes
Extrapolating from how Derek's mom talked about the things he loved, OP had an opportunity to show some empathy and understanding about why he might have been a jerk in junior high. Instead he punished him for something most people would have forgotten by then.
@@AhrpigiAs someone with poor memory you don't easily forget being bullied, I know that from experience. The bullies might forget, though. This being said, basically duping the mother while having an estimate of the true value of the collection was scummy, if not even criminal, imo.
@@Ahrpigiespecially when that something was only $40. Like people grew up and forgot about it, yet the OP just held on resentment over a measly $40 that he took a man’s entire childhood.
@@backonlazer791it was bullying sure, but it only cost OP $40. There is no way it justifies stealing his entire collection and childhood away from him. That is 1,000% worse and OP proved he was worse than his “bully” ever was.
@@TsukiKageTora The first half of my comment was about bullying in a more general sense, not this specific instance. As I said, I think OP was scummy at best and criminal at worst.
i sold my pokemon card collection in 2007 and bought a 05 Mitsubishi Evo VIII MR, and a 96 Mitsubishi Eclipse GSX and spent about 20k on aftermarket parts. best childhood investment ever. i still have the Evo, it's my wife's every day car lol.
My dad had roughly the same thing happen to him, he collected star wars and G.I. joe stuff and his mother got tired of it taking up space in the closet. So when he moved out and left some of it behind, his mother gave it to a family friend for her kids to play with and of course destroyed everything of value. He was pissed to say the least, but take this as a lesson as to why you stop for a second before disposing of things that a collector was gathering. Sometimes those things can hold a lot of value, and just tossing them out is a bad idea at times and can lead to hefty losses.
Crazy how old toys can go up in value.
To put into perspective even more of how Derek's mom severely f'ed up, the cartridge of a pokemon black/white game can go for $120-$150 and since OP says Derek constantly bragged about it being in perfect condition itd go for even more than that as I've seen a pokemon soul silver in box with a pokewalker and collectible figure go for $1500. So if youre gonna do a garage/yard sale do your research beforehand of what youre selling
Petty revenge: Lose $50,000
Pro revenge: Lose $40,000
Yep, checks out, nothin to see here boys!
It's all in the method employed. :)
Yes you have her come in for the interview and ask her to explain how she managed an 87% increase in sales.
I feel really bad for the mom in the Derek story. OP may have gotten her a one way ticket to the old folks’ home with that one.
nah she probably didn't care about her son enough to know about it
I've been wanting to do garage sale'ing for the first time in years because my kiddo has found the joy of Pokemon cards and I'd love to find a batch for cheap. Story 1 would be a dream, even if I didn't know I was punishing an Ahole. 🤣
Story 2: A single... paid 1 week of leave? Thats all OP got? Damn I feel bad for OP, in the UK you get 5.4 weeks a year holiday anyway, an extra week of holiday is a joke lol. I would have thought they would throw so much more to keep her from going to some kind of tribunal system.
Sadly this is how things are in America. Nobody gives a shit about their employees. Some states even have laws that favor the buisness over the employees.
look at it from their perspective. you get what, 10, 14 days off per year on average in the US? a week on top is a huge amount, considering the aforementioned point.
I love pokemon and video games, i would be livid if my mom did this. Good thing my mom always ask before giving away my stuff.
damn if Darek really had every Pokémon game, we're talking every main series, spin offs, sister game, and even console peripherals, all in mint condition. not to mention the Pokémon cards, toys, and passably VHS tapes, dvds, mongas, and everything else.
Back in the early 80’s I used to go to garage & rummage sales looking for valuable/old comic books. This scenario happened many times. The 60’s child were obsessed with comic books. They had pristine collections of thousands of books.
So the kid goes off to college or the military leaving behind these books. Parents wanted all these books gone. They wanted the kids room to be repurposed or they were downsizing. They informed their child that they had X number of days to remove their stuff & comic collection. If not picked up by a certain time they would be pitched.
Then comes the garage/rummage sale. Over time I got a lot of valuable books for virtually nothing. There were a few times I referred the parents to comic book stores for a better. Most of those didn’t follow up on that option.
This is not to imply I made a lot of money but it was fun for a time & profits helped in other life expenses. I finally moved on from that. I found different interests.
I will say that in the first story, the guy being a douchebag isn't really indicative of the moms quality as a parent. It's not as simple as nature versus nurture. Sometimes they just come out bad. Sometimes the parents are horrible people, and the kids come out good
I mean, literally going by what the mom said in the story, it's pretty clear she never really tried to connect with Derek or listened to what he was saying. Otherwise she may have actually used Google to check the prices of the things in those boxes.
@@chaosstripe9446 I mean, she didn't understand Pokemon. That's not an indicator of not trying. At that age, if either of my parents tried to get me to explain it I would have brushed them off too. Also, if she doesn't understand how valuable they can be, she doesn't have a reason to look it up on google
we don't even know if he is that much of a douchebag or if it's jsut OP's view on him, just because he haddrama and conflict
If I were The First Opie, I'd anonymously send The Mom flowers and a box of chocolates, and tell her "My cousin *loves* the Pokomon stuff! You made him/her *so* happy! Thank you again, so much!". And sign it from Tom Petty or Lori Petty.
The punishment definitely didn't fit the crime in story one
"You either die a hero or live long enough to become a villian" Kind of fits for the OP in the first story. OP's family member pays 40 bucks because Derek spammed memes in school and then OP scams their family member into forking over 40k.
Derek was a jerk, but OP is just evil
OP was probably already an*ss to him honestly
First story: I can't help but to feel range against the mom's ignorance. Collectables are that for a reason.
the reason that people like pam from the last story can get as far as they can is because either they've been doing those things for so long and have gotten away with it for so long that they are becoming arrogant and sloppy, or the people that they previously have screwed over just let the actions go without trying to get justice or a combination of both.
1 story: if I was op I would send him a picture of the new car and tell him to thank his mum.
No I could never I would feel so bad but the look on Dereks face would be priceless.
1st Story: Derek probably has grounds to sue OP. His mom sold property that did not belong to her-she literally said it was her son’s-essentially stealing everything and using OP as a fence. I’m willing to bet that Derek has a very strong case against OP. I’d love the “Ask a Lawyer” guy to examine this scenario.
i don't think derek has a case against OP, but he for sure does against his mom.
Also how would they know OPs personal information or how to even get in contact with him in the first place in order to sue him??
@@godofthunder6613 Exactly OP had a win ,win ,win ,revenge :)
I'm no legal expert but I think I've heard that buying something for cheap while knowing its true value is MUCH higher could be illegal. OP might've made a mistake posting about it online.
Hard to say, if that were true, every genuine diamond in the rough find would be illegal as a whole.
I don't think it is, and if it is, that's a stupid law.
@@lizzy1876 I did some investigating and indeed it is not illegal in the US law as far as I can tell. However, in the story OP told there are two cases how it could be illegal:
1. Fraud, since the OP had an idea of the actual value of the products and was buying them with intent of reselling them, he could be sued for fraud.
2. Knowingly receiving stolen property, also known as "receipt of stolen property".
In the 2nd example Derek's mother stole and sold his property, and OP knowingly bought them. This is a criminal offence in the US if the following four facts are proven:
- The person received or concealed or stored or disposed of items of stolen property (he bought and received the items).
- The items were moving as, or constituted a part of, interstate commerce (he lived in another state and re-sold the items, most likely interstate as well, through his uncle).
- The items had a value in excess of $5,000 (the value was almost $40,000).
- The person acted knowingly and willfully (the OP did EXACTLY that).
Sometimes the judgement can be passed even if all four aren't fulfilled. In a trial, the state must also prove that the defendant (OP) received the property for a dishonest purpose, which he proved himself. Since the value was more than $1000 (or $2000 in some states) he could face more than a year of jail time and a fine for commiting felony.
Normally I don’t watch prorevenge videos (because of other crazier revenge subreddits making me questionable can I handle the revenge hahaha) but I chose to watch it because even though I don’t consider my a Pokémon fan the title did it for me
I am not sure why, but people named "Derek " from my experiences tends to be AHs (I apologize to all non-AH Dereks). I knew one notible Derek from UG who was the first guy I met when I arrived on campus. He was egotistic and found creative ways of offending every one. A couple of stories:
I was really good friends with his long term girlfriend and heard stories about how critical he was of her. She eventually broke up with him due to him mocking her sick mother during Thanksgiving dinner (I think she was very ill with MS, iirc). Another time I was helping a club raise money for building wells in Africa, and he came up and argued that this effort was inhumane as it would only encourage Africans to have more children and the world does not need more of them. Another time some famous engineers show up at our campus and had a Q&A, Derick went up and asked them about 9/11 conspiracies (to be fair Derick was a civil engineer, and actually wanted them to disprove the conspiracy theories but his reputation on campus and lack of charisma did him in). He was immediately booed by the audience. Needless to say he was likely the most hated person at my university.
Atleast the OP from the first story can hire a damn good psychologist with that money, because he definitely needs one.
As a lifetime Pokemon fan, OP is a TOTAL AH for screwing with someone else's Pokemon.
Back in high school i was the only one with a cell phone, it was the Motorola brick phone from the 80's lol.
14:30 the current First Minister of Scotland heavily failed in every single position he held beforehand - he was caught driving without insurance when he was transport minister was a funny one - and he somehow holds the highest position in the country ^^’ in my experience being skilled is not a prerequisite to positions of power
Story 1: People will remember what you did in the past. You screw someone over, they'll screw you back in the future.
I wonder how Derek will react, and if he knows that OP had something to do with it.
I wonder why his mom decided it was a smart move to sell a collection he had been building his entire life.
I don’t know if losing $40,000 worth of stuff when you’re an adult is appropriate for something you did while in middle school.
@@briannad9155I got no sympathy for him. Assholes who decide to be an ass to even their own friends should expect that they're going to get revenge at some point and OP did get revenge
@@Godzilladino damn. I hope you never did anything stupid or mean while you were in middle school.
@briannad9155 Spite is a powerful emotion, and grudges don't just magically go away.
Derek was asking for it and the fact that op's dad just did nothing also probably added onto that grudge
Make no mistake, Derek was not a bully, OP scammed an old lady out of items he knew she had, that he knew the value off, and just had to go online and brag, and he tried his best to make Derek out to be a villain the best he could, just so people wouldn’t judge him as harshly for his unethical behaviour. For Christ sake, he regularly went to this kids House and played with him and his games, and the absolutly worst thing he remember about him, was that he sent him some pictures to his phone, and that was enough for people to be okay with labelling him a bully…
R/ is right about pam - should have made her squirm.
Me, however, would have not only make her squirm, but shrink.
Give proxy interview from other room, puff her up on her resume's contents, then question her on workload sharing & credit. Before asking, "Didn't you have an assistant named OP helping with your work?"
"In fact didn't they do all your work only for you to plot to fire them not being able cover for your ineffectual/unproductive -cronies- i mean consultants?"
And wait for her at the door.
I was bullied through middle school; the abuse was so bad I ended up with a nervous breakdown and a case of PTSD that I am still dealing with at the age of sixty. Derek deserved everything that he got. His parents should have taught him about karma. I don't feel sorry for the mother either; she definitely had a hand in what her son was like.
The first story remind me of when I was little my gave aeay or sold ?(I don't really remember) the rather large pokemon card collection me and my brother collected, We we so mad and we still don't know Why she DID!!. It was like a huge box full as well! Thought over time we have somewhat recouped the damages But I will ALWAYS remember that dang Dialga pokemon card , I sadly couldn't get another one. Also unrelated I once got 4 gold pokemon cards (IDK if their rare since I did get all 4 of them from two packs)
i feel so bad for the mom in the first story omg 😭
I have a hockey card collection. My abuser burnt some of them in the years 2009-2014. He claimed that he didn't know, but I know he knew, because VERY CLEARLY, I had a box with 'hockey cards' on it, each time we had a fire, there were less cards. I now have a MASSIVE ollection, which I keep in a few large boxes.
The 1st Story proves that just because someone burned a bridge with you doesn't mean that you can't fire back a sniper round or an RPG from your side.
"She didn't know people were still into that."
*Laughs in biggest media franchise in the world*
I don’t feel too bad for the mom in the first one, like 50% since yeah, her son turned into an asshole. But nowadays, people are getting worse. So I’m hoping a little that when Derek finds out what she did, his obsession doesn’t lead him to hurt, or kill her.
I really feel for the mom but at the end of the day she got what she wanted in term of ridding her house of the cludder and 500 bucks are 500 bucks. If this dick wanted his stuff so bad he should've been taking better care. Just hope she never finds out how much she missed out on. At the same time, the time it needed to properly sell all that stuff probably wouldn't have ben worth it either way. Pesonally I find online ad selling extremely exhausting. People can be immensely stupid.
First story: OP said he upset Derek and that is what led to the mass of memes sent. Could OP be downplaying what he did and is the bully himself? Anyone willing to scam someone like that over something so petty and so long ago is a POS.
Story 2: It feels like every executive these days is like Pamela and the sensible people are either bribed or fired.
What kind of dumb plan charges you for calls and messages you RECIEVE?! Never heared of any plan like that ever.
Lots of the older prepaid no-contract cell plans did that. Maybe they still do? I'm not sure, I haven't had one in ages but my first couple phones I had as a teen were the same. Billed per-minute for calls and per-message for texts no matter which side you're on.
Though thankfully I never had someone abuse it like the bully in today's video did.
@@HumbleWooper That's so weird to me. I had my first phone in '99 and it didn't bill me anything for stuff recieved. Ok, I'm not in the US, maybe that's why it seems so dumb to me.
@@Donnerwampit's definitely a US thing. It was the same way for me and my friends back in time. That's why I would send a text and then call my friend's landline
@@HumbleWoopersome still do, my brother had a prepaid walmart phone for a short while, about two years ago, and the plan he was on limited the amount of images you can send/recieve.
Old Nokia phones did that ~10 years ago too.
They're garbage plans, but they still exist even today. :(
As a person with a 10 000€+ collection of Littlest Pet shop products
Lmfao
Yes i’ve seen unknowlagable mothers sell figures valued at 100< dollars for 2 dollars or less, it’s sad to see
Let me start off by say that I’m a collector and I realize the “value” that certain pieces of my collection have. That being said, the second hand collector market is utterly ridiculous. I do not believe that a piece of card stock, a toy, or a game should cost thousands of dollars for any reason. If you are just going to leave it on a shelf forever and some one genuinely wants it so they can use or play with it as it was intended to be, sell it for a reasonable and realistic price, not for an absurdly inflated price because it’s a rare, hard to find, or out of production. I’m not talking about prize cards or things like the gold/silver StarWars minifigs that were given to a select few (do I think people are insane for giving those kinds of things up, yes, but I digress), I’m just talking about toys, cards, and games that can be bought on store shelves.
I have never heard about “Spamming memes” as revenge
Rslash videos are a nice wake up gift.
40,000 for 40? That's the kind of interest banks could only dream of!
And if Derek is as obsessed as the story says, the revenge was probably nuclear for him. Serves him right.
I dont know, being an asshole in middle school is a pretty steep price to pay as a full grown adult who probably completely changed as a person over the years. though if he he was obsessed with the collectors items as was suggested it serves him right for leaving those things to rot in some attic at his mother's house
No, it doesnt. Being a jerk in middle school doesn't justify essentially getting all of your prized possessions stolen.
"you were mean when you were 12 so you deserve to lose a sentimental collection worth as much as a good used car, over a decade later when everyone well adjusted would have completely forgotten about it."
@@Ahrpigi Never underestimate mankind's ability to hold grudges.
And yes, he does. Maybe he shouldn't have been an insufferable piece of garbage back then.
@@philip0544
Well he didn't steal them. He bought them. Given for a very low price but I still can't blame op too much
1:36 So, I was going to "um, actually" this statement by OP...and then his dad did exactly what I was going to say 😂 Yeah, back then, you could very much have numbers blocked at no cost - you just had to go into the provider's store and speak with a manager, because it was done on the carrier's end, not the phone's.
The guy in the first story shouldn't be posting as prorevenge, he should be posting as aita. And YES, yes he is. He's every bit as much of an asshole as the guy whose collectibles he Stole! This guy doesn't deserve good karma or any kind of admiration.
He didn't steal them though, he paid what the mom thought they were worth. If he didn't buy them, someone else would've.
@@lizzy1876 no they wouldn’t have. He literally had to ASK the mom is there were other things for him to take that weren’t in the garage sale. And the only reason he asked was so he could take some stuff from someone who costed him $40 at least a decade ago.
2:08 I think you got scammed by your provider. It's supposed to be 10 cents for sending a text not for receiving one. Meaning only the one contacting you would pay. It's kind of weird but could be that it was a common practise at the time and where you are from.
(14:33) "It honestly just blows my mind that people this incompetent can rise to the level of manager of a major company."
I've worked at Walgreens since 2015, this doesn't surprise me in the slightest. Hell, anyone who's worked retail of any kind would tell you that, nine times outta ten, it's the stupid at the top.
I'm looking at you, Rosalind Brewer.
I'm very familiar about those older style plans where you paid for every minute on phone and or every text. But never was it so that it would cost you to receive a call or message. Receiving was always free here in Finland. we would do similar things that someone rang but after answering we would hang the phone and the other person would call back depending on different situations.
story one: you didnt steal from the bully. You conned an innocent woman simply for being related to the bully. You should not feel proud
they conned a woman willing to sell her kid's beloved things to a virtual stranger so she could get more attic space. she didn't even ask her son if it was okay to sell the things. and anyway, those weren't her things in the first place, so honestly, its more like, a greedy woman sold things that didn't belong to her for a tenth of their value. the bully is the one who got screwed over in that story, not the mom.
Those weren't her cards, they were her sons cards. She is the real asshole for selling them on her kids behalf, honestly.
he didn't even bully him I feel bad for him not her
First Story: That is isane. Not going to lie, I think OP's dad was right in that that $40 wasn’t worth it because in the end Derrick paid OP $40k instead (of course not directly). Derrick sounds like an absolute prick
Second Story: Pamela really wanted to mess with the one person who: does her job, covers for her. Everything she did just completely backfired
For shame
@@kaye_go_moo9790eyes are dialated and I was outside sooooo the edit is slower
@@xKCAZxLEADERor... Just don't do the whole editing and comment on each story. Like almost everyone else here because they're not retarded
Damn pretty funny you got clowned so badly into deleting your entire comment in yesterdays video. Can't wait to see you do it again in a few hours
Hi again rslash, with the last story I was thinking the same thing before you mentioned it. While you were reading the story, I was hoping that OP would of had the woman go in for an interview.
That first story kinda just makes me sad...
I don't think his mom had anything to do with how he turned out, I think he's either got a manipulative personality or he's possibly a sociopath. Take the latter with a grain of salt, I'm severely unqualified to make such a diagnosis.
Nothing like a cup of rslash in the morning
Consider that as a fine for emotional damage OP has suffered all these years.
Its not stealing or so, its a fair buy and sell which 1 party doesnt know the true value. Let Derek and his mom deal with this together
Both my brother and I cry when we see how much pokemon and yu-gi-oh cards go for and wish we keep our's
Last story: Pamela is a narcissist/cluster of Bees. It's not just stupidity (though there clearly is that), it's that Clusters of Bees (personality disorder OR non-clinical levels of behaviors typical of Clusters of Bees) don't logic, at all. It's a feature, not a bug, of the Personality Disorder.
Per message story, sweet sweet revenge, op punished Derek with the most brutal way, buying an life's collectable cards, video games and legos that worth a lot. I kinda feel bad for Derek's mother, shes going to have the worst yelling and swearing from her son cause she sold his collection with out premission, its going to cause issues. It makes me wonder if this story will get a second part, propably not. As for op's dad, hes wrong, they should have sued Derek cause he stole from op 40$ which is a lot money for phone these days to sent messages and so calls, you cant just ignore this, he failed to be a good dad
My mom gave away old NES stuff to places like Goodwill when I found out a few years. Still have some cartridges but the whole collection was gone, granted we got them in the mid 90s at a garage sale.
Now its a hot commodity and I keep telling her, told you so.
Also I remembered when there was plans for unlimited texting and phone calls for teenagers in the mid 2000s. We are T-mobile customers since Voicestream in the late 90s.
A few people seem to think OP took too much in the first story. Look if the bully was never gonna sell those games then he was never gonna get that money anyway. All he really lost was bragging rights to own a game and hopefully whoever bought it is less of a jerk about everything.
That, and I think people fail to take another unintended lesson, in which a sincere apology early on would have made a world of difference, and less of a nuke to Derek's treasure hoard.
Time for coffee and Rslash! Good morning all!
OP in the first story is a 4-star AH. The dude cost _your dad_ $50 when you were in 7th grade. That did not earn THAT level of destruction.
Story 1: you have to pay for receiving an SMS/Text message?? Why? You pay for sending one, sure - but receiving?
I mean, OP might have had autodownload on, today that is clearly a non-issue given that we share more than a few megabytes of data per image post, on average. But not back then I suppose. And Derek racking up 40 bucks of data charges for OP, yeah..... I hope OP can heal but damn, such overkill.
@@anionleader Images sure - but from what OP was saying any straight text message being received @ 0.10 a message. Also paid for receiving that. I have had a cell phone for 20 years, granted i don't live in the US, but i have never paid for a single received text message, ever.
@ScorpiusZA. This was years ago, mind you. Yes, I, too, remember that service providers did charge per message, and sending images was a pretty penny premium.
Okay, OP in the first story is just a sad person 😂
He wanted to drag a kid to small claims court over 40 bucks when they were like 13 years old and then held an insane grudge well into adulthood and felt it a fitting revenge to trick the dudes *mother* into selling him stuff worth 40.000 for dirt cheap.
He’s just a sad person. I wouldn’t want someone like that in my life. Holding a grudge for that long over stupid tween shit is pathetic and frankly worrisome. Idk.
Meh, in all fairness, I should really just stop listening to the revenge stories though, they often make me upset 😅
Petty revenge is fine, those are funny, but pro and nuclear mostly just make me uncomfortable lol
bruh... if you get bullied by someone that has a pokemon card collection... hell even watches pokemon then no amount of money will wash away the shame lmao
14:34 Rarely ever do they "rise" to that position. They are generally straight up given it because they know someone important enough.
The only thing I look forward to all day is the new R/Slash video! I'm about to have a leg amputated and these videos make me feel better..Thank you! )I have severe cataracts too and can't see too well so I can't see what I type too well,, Sorry
oh my god i went to middle school in the early 2010s, am i old? the first OP talking like that made me feel ancient
