- r/Askreddit Have you ever been pushed to your breaking point and you lose all will to help other people? The Reddit users in today's video certainly have. These people told stories of times when others pushed them so far past their limit that they snapped and completely stopped providing any help, like a teacher that got scammed out of $2,000 from a lying family, or a woman who pretended to have cancer to get sympathy money. Disgusting!

What is your "F--- It! I'm Done Helping Others" Moment?
@UCvXJ_NHB-6BJYh3e47FecHQ darn
I don't have one thank god
They only needed my homework to copy.
the moment before i left my ex xD
I got way too overwhelmed with it
As a homeless person, if someone gives me food that's amazing, and honestly when I ask for help a lot of people are hesitant because they think I'm asking for money, but help and money are 2 different things
There are A LOT of people out there who are ruining it for you.
If you stand by the side of the road with a sign, try changing what it says to something like, "I don't want money. I want a job and need food". When people see that you're committed to picking yourself up you might get a few offers.
Would be cool to meet you, I like giving my breakfast croissants to homeless people
Maybe on the sign try writing that you need help, not money and more people will help you...I hope that works because everyone deserves a home
Bruh how tf does a homeless person have a phone?
I once had this friend who got evicted from his place and was really good at playing the victim. I ended up getting him crash with me and it was all good, he was pretty clean, good cook. He'd shown no real red flags so I saw no issue with him "house sitting" during a trip I took with my parents. Well while I was gone he smoked all kinds of things (including cigarettes) in the place, moved stuff around, stole $300 worth of corsets, stole my violin, tried to sell off my wigs, stole my tablet, and stole my car which was later recovered a state over with a burnt out clutch. If my dad hadn't been there when we got back I would have forced him to stay until the police got there. Now any time someone needs help then they can figure it out themselves cuz screw that
Ooof im so sorry bout that
What do you mean "if my dad hadnt been their... i would've forced him to stay until the police got thete"? Did your dad not want the guy to get arrested?
@@Dartkitten he did but wasn't working to actively prevent him from leaving, my dad was more worried about the missing stuff which, of course, none of his stuff was gone
@Xena the Third nope, I've never seen any of that stuff again in my life. And to add insult to injury the violin was my 18th birthday gift
@Xena the Third that's a relaxing thought đ I hope he ends up getting arrested too.
This video hurt my faith in humanity. But hearing that the one guy stole the dog back, restored.
Possibly the sweetest sentence I've heard on a while was, "I stole the dog a few weeks later."
I got stuck with an older dog (that I really don't like much) due to family issues. No one else can take the poor thing and I won't take her to a shelter (they're all closed anyway) and I'm not going to just give her to someone who might mistreat her. At least I will make sure she's sure fed, safe, warm, and taken care of. And don't worry, she's given plenty of affection too. Just because I don't like her much doesn't mean she won't be treated with kindness and affection. Her situation isn't her fault, and she is a living being and deserves dignity and respect. Even if I do do the things she hates, like actually getting her properly groomed so she's not a constant matted mongrel. She's actually kinda cute now.
â@@GromMolotok I almost stole a dog once. I was at a friend's house helping him work on his boat, and I watched the kids across the street running around playing. They had a beautiful dalmatian that wanted so bad to play with them, but they just kept telling her "no" and pushing her away. They gave her no attention at all besides that. They finally ran inside and slammed the door and left the poor dog outside staring at the door. My friend went in to clean up so we could go to dinner, and while he was inside the dog came into his yard and was barking at me. She'd done this a couple times while we were working, but he shooed her back home. This time I just sat down, and she finally stopped barking and shyly came up to me. I let her smell me and she got close enough to me that I could pet her, and I swear she acted like she'd never felt a kind hand. When we left she ran alongside my truck for a while wagging her tail - when I came back to drop him off I didn't see the dog, but I was already considering coming back later to take her. A week later my friend told me she had died of parvo.
Same, I literally just screamed "GOOD!!!" after hearing that OP stole the dog
I just want to know if he left a calling card like the Phantom Theives.
When I had a truck, I got it a bumber sticker that read in large font, "no, I can't help you move this weekend".
Like Granddad used to say, "You never know how many friends you have until you buy a truck."
Karen: *steals from company*

Mine is when I walked in on my friends talking about me saying that there only my friends because I bought them stuff I immediately made my presence known and scared the crap out of them. This was weeks ago and last week one of them approached me and said they wanted to be friends I asked why and she said that she doesnât want me to buy her anything she just wants to hang out. I decided to give her a chance and now weâve been on three dates.
I had one of those friends lol
Thats where you messed up. Never give anyone a second chance. Thats part of the scam. Good luck.
@@DB-po8rs I know but she sounded very genuine and I wanted to give her a chance plus Iâm being careful and not buying her super expensive things. So far she hasnât asked me for anything and if she does Iâll just tell her no depending on what it is of course.
@@DB-po8rs i know right
The friend will reach to the point where he will do some messed up shit for money
Believe me i got experience
@Miner They didnât cost much and we split it 50/50
For me, it was when the friend I had for17 years basically just tossed all my kindness to her out the window because I couldn't let her stay for the holidays. She was so insanely rude, made fun of personal issues I went through and told me that I never did anything for her so I snapped and said to her "So, you get kicked out, shunned and basically black listed from your area and then I let you stay for weeks on end, giving you a house, food, giving you comfort and this is what I get in return for something I literally can't help. You're done. We are done. I'm sorry but I can't cope any longer. I wish you the best in your life. But I can't keep being your go to for sympathy especially when you don't share the same with me when I'm feeling depressed"
She blocked me
So , yes I am pretty much done with allowing those who are down on their luck to use my kind efforts to their advantage.
Great on you for doing that.
Not everyone whose down on their luck constantly takes advantage & treats you like crap, she just wasnât a great person, I hope in time you realize not all people are like that.
If only there were texts of her being rude. Shame her on Facebook by tagging her family with such pictures.
@@SierraHarmony Just because her former friend was rude and took advantage of her kindness doesn't mean she needs to get revenge on her. It's not like she killed her dog or something. Some people rather take the high road and not do things like that. I'm sure that former friend probably has already burned bridges with her family anyway. For them, it might be embarrassing to see their family's dirty laundry posted on FB for everyone to see. That revenge post could possibly even backfire and cause the family more problems ( like if friends of the family or if they are in a church and people in the church see it) the others could guilt trip the family into letting her take advantage of them ( most likely again). Im sure before she stayed with OP she probably used up her family first.
My point is that not all situations ( I can't think of many that this would be a good idea) require a shame post because things ended badly with a friend. I can see if stalking was involved, they are dangerous or if they were trying to contact people on your friends list to take advantage of them or to get closer to you but other then that I don't see the logic behind it. It not only makes them look bad but makes you look like a total asshat for posting it to begin with.
People who abuse theire pets that bad usually don't want someone they can love, they want someone who they can take theire frustration out on. It makes them feel powerfull and better to make someone more miserable than they are themselves, dogs are just one of the "best" targets for them, loyal enough not to fight back or run away, chance given and durable enough to not die that fast from the abuse.
I realy hate these kinds of people.
Sounds like my step mom ://
Thereâs no excuse I donât care about their mental health or how much their life sucks if I witnessed the abuse there is no force on Earth that would be able to fix what Iâd do to them
Like i said before that kind of people Is why hollow point bullets exist
@@blackdemon1077 too merciful they should suffer
The post where we hear R/Slash's heart breaking in his voice.
And controlled rage.
Ah yes, the time to hear about nice people snapping because of selfish bastards.
I work at a vet office as a kennel Technician (the vet office I work at also does boarding). We actually had a couple close calls with one of our vets. Theres was one time where she didnt show up for work at all. No called and no showed. We found out one of her personal animals (one that she got as a very sick, almost dead baby that she healed up) suddenly crashed with no known reason. Animals that are showing great signs of improvement and then suddenly crashing are the ones that hurt the most.
She is clinically depressed, but refuses to quit her job. I only see a qauter of what the vets and the vet techs seen, and it's more than enough to not want to become one and gives me major respect to those that have or are still in the field
lost a friend over this one. i'm a professional costume maker, and a friend of mine wanted me to make her a full animatronic fursuit. (it was the purple rabbit from FNAF) basically, this thing had a head with a moving jaw, mechanically rotating eyes, and ears that would move, not to mention the entire actual suit. material wise, it cost me about 200-300$ and months of time and effort. i had to airbrush all the fur because i couldn't get it in the right color, i taught myself how to wire up servomotors. this was going to be a showstopper of a costume. and then she ghosted me. i was stupid and thought "hey, she's my friend, i can forgo the up front deposit!" when she finally got back to me, she said she was super sick, and couldn't go to the convention anymore, and couldn't afford the costume. i should just try and sell it someone else. (it was tailored to her size, and it's unlikely anyone could have afforded that as an impulse purchase anyways). to top it off, i saw her at the con on the first day, buying a ton of really expensive merch. remember kids, always get an up front deposit!
I remember something similar happening to me but over some home stuck horns of all things. Of course, I wasnât (and still am not) the best craftsman but it hurt cuz I did it for free and bought materials for itđ
The name of the rabbit is Bonnie
Practice with me now: "Cash. In advance. Cash. In advance. Cash. In advance."
@@jjohnston94 my policy now is material cost upfront. That way if someone bails, i can at least keep the supplies
Its cool you learned that stuff though.
I have a feeling many of these stories involve Karens, Choosing Beggars, Entitled People, etc
and many of those involve older siblings helping their younger siblings with everything, all the time, only to be treated like a cockroach. Seriously, older brothers get it the worst from their younger siblings. and i have proof because that's exactly me and my brother. my brother has since matured (luckily)
Donât forget the wonderful Kevin!!
@@imblack011 lol that was me and my older brother. But I liked to do things on my own. But I was a little snitch. I loved to be a little shit and tell on him and when he did ANYTHING.
@@orangeblue523 ok, Candace :p
and kevins
I can totally relate to the veterinary clinic story. Not a doctor, but I interact with clients all of the time that want the highest level care for their "precious little babies", but then whine and complain when they have to pay their bill for the visit. They also are under the impression that it is okay to show up whenever they want for their appointment, not caring that we are fully booked for the day, with clients that arrive on time.
Because of the insane increase of no shows, we had to start charging no shows which pissed people off so bad but we told them, that's what you get for not showing up to your appointment, wasting Dr's time and wasting a time slot we could have given to another client
That's crazy and so irresponsible.
I was a late-night screaming-at-the-door girl too. I was waiting at a bus stop and a guy approached me and tried to grab me and throw me down. I managed to keep my feet and ran for the houses screaming. I pounded on the door and begged them to call the police. I told them they didn't have to let me in, just call the police. They did decide to let me in, I'm grateful. Sadly, they never caught the guy.
Aww man đ
@@Nobody-dn6kl Damn

Your story got me thinking.

Feel free to say no.
I have one of those family members who is always"needing" help. My brother and his wife are always struggling (she's the only one that holds down a job, he just won't work). They have three young girls, and different people in the family used to help them out with rent, car payments, and the like. But then we all started realizing that when they got large sums of money (tax time and the stimulus checks), they would go on big spending sprees instead of using that money for their needs. We also think my brother is using those windfalls on gambling as well. Now we all refuse to help them. I feel bad for my nieces, but my brother needs to grow up. And as long as people bail him out, he never will.
Damn

I've posted this before on similar threads, but at my work we recently hired a guy for a temporary, COVID dollars-funded, one-year position. This guy went above and beyond the call of duty in every capacity, offering to fill in wherever needed, taking the initiative, streamlining procedures, etc. The very definition of a team player, and he's got the necessary degree as well as years of experience in his field.
A permanent position becomes available in the very department he's assigned to--seems like he's a shoo in, right? Wrong. They hire a 21 year-old kid who hasn't even graduated college yet. Why? Because her mother is best friends with one of our Board members.
The guy himself took it in stride, but at that moment, I was instantly done doing anything extra and am currently looking for new employment, as I see what being a "team player" in this organization gets you.
This reminds me of my "friend" from middle school. I remember my mom told me to make friends with the new girl, because she'd been talking to her mom and her mom said she had trouble making friends. I already was interested in being friends with the new kids, because they were new people I didn't know, so me her and this other girl became a little friend group. Yea, I was completely blind to how selfish and attention seeking she was, she was the kind of person who used pity for attention, it was disgusting, but I was to young to realize or understand what she was doing. I didn't realize that she was actually a bad person until she made fun of me for a disability.
It is said that People never change.
Don't you think?
About your story, do you mind if I narrate it in a video? Please.
It sounds like people become the worst or the best after and during high-school.
RSlash I'm begging you please give us a warning if any form of abuse is going to happen. Hearing what happened to that dog just made me physically sick
My mom is a super generous person who makes mats and volunteers to pack food for the homeless. One thing she told me that will always stick with me is, "If you want to help someone in need, give them food and not money." That's something I've taken to heart.
I had a friend and her family who stayed with us and they brought in eight cats without asking, refused to help with bills, broke our washer and dryer, none of them wanted to work, or help out in the house, nothing. They also moved in two other people, who were just as bad. In the end we got tired of it and served them papers to hit the road. They got a place and got out. Before that, her oldest daughter got pregnant and had a baby, it was hell. Their mail kept coming here and I kept calling her to come get it and change her address at the post office. She got her settlement check and came to get it, swearing she'd pay us back. Did she? Nope. Then she found out that I was making rag dolls and called, demanding I make one for the baby. I said only if she paid for my time and materials. She cussed me out and not heard anything since. I have so many stories... Glad to have my house back, though.
Damn

This makes me think I should maybe have everything on writing.
I love cats, and I have one,
but I've got my limits.
The guy who threw the mcdouble was probably someone who wanted money for drugs or items they could sell to buy drugs. I know it's not an optimistic look, but sometimes people can be so addicted that they care more for the drugs than they do getting themselves back up.
This. My family and friends always give money which makes me super uncomfortable. Those in my town we only seem to have people begging for money but that are not homeless. I have seen homeless people in the bigger town a half hour away but never any here (small town, near the Great Lakes, cold AF most of the year). Here they always have signs and set up at lights, never near the restaurants which are all near each other and have a lot of green and parking lots around them. I find this mostly means they are more likely to be addicts as they want to make sure people can't stop to ask them if they want anything besides money.
@@_Fizel_ I can see why your friends and family give money though. By giving food or very basic supplies, you can ensure that they survive, but saving money can get them into shelter such as hotels etc, get cleaned up, better hygiene, and a better chance at getting back on their feet. Of course giving anything is good, but itâs fair why money is an important give. That being said, it really does suck that some people either fake homelessness or refuse to use the money to get back on their feet, itâs a tragedy either way :(
@@harrypotter2700 If they arent handicapped they need to put effort and work odd jobs to EARN money. Food and clothes is a perfectly good way to help out a person in need so they can work their way up. Giving money only makes them think they can just keep not working since they can always beg for more money. A lot of homeless people dont really care that they have no home, they just want to eat, drink, and some of them want drugs as well, other than that a lot of them dont have any ambitions in life. The ones who do, will be more than thankful for actual material things that will help get them on their feet and fix their own lives.
@@StuntsHrs And thatâs true, but the job market is a difficult place and theyâll be much more likely to avoid hiring someone who looks homeless. All Iâm saying is that money can contribute towards basic self care and temporary shelter so they can be more likely to be kept clean and have a higher chance of receiving a job is all. I never said they shouldnât work, just wanted to point out why money is helpful, especially during cold winter months where a few nights at a motel can save their life. Iâm not disagreeing with the fact that some people who end up homeless might have very low or no ambitions, but itâs also important to remember that doesnât define all of them and itâs good to help whichever way you can, whether that be through giving objects, clothes, food, money, or just kindness in general.
I have a counter story- My family and I, whenever we have extra money laying around, make up homeless bag to hand out in our town. The have some weather appropriate clothing, toiletries, non perishable foods, and a bottle of water. With the bag, we always give a $20 gift card to a fast food restaurant. There are only a few homeless people in our town, and generally they stick to their same corner, so we end up generally giving away the bags to the same people. This one couple in front of a gas station always got one. It got to the point that they started to recognise our car. Even if we weren't pulling over to give them a bag, they would wave at us and smile as we drove past.
I have one of these moments. My former best friend had 3 kids. one school age and a 2 and 3/4 year old. She was working at a daycare and they charged an obscene amount of money for your kids to come to work with you, and since 2 of the 3 were that age, I offered to watch them. I offered for $50 a week because I didn't need the money, she insisted on $100 a week. I was potty training the 2 year old, teaching her to talk more clearly on ABC mouse, helping the 3 year old advance on there as well, and going to another town 15 mins away each way to pick up her other kid at school every day. I also paid for her kids bday party at chuck e cheese because she was having a hard time and couldn't pay for a party at the time. (She didn't ask, I just told her we're having the party, even pawned one of my rings to pay for it). Bought the kids their own Christmas trees because they all wanted a different color and all wanted to decorate differently, so I got them all little 4 foot trees of their own. I let payments slide when she couldn't afford it because something came up or she wasn't getting enough hours., and occasionally had to take the kids to work with her for a day because I was sick or had an emergency. (They charged for each day she took them and for each kid, so I tried not to make her do it) eventually she was over 700 behind in payments.....which I was honestly fine with....we'd figure it out, she's my best friend and I adored the kids. Then out of nowhere she ghosts me, deletes me on facebook, wont return my calls, nothing. just cut all contact. I'm not sure what happened because she wouldn't talk to me, but she just vanished...with the kids. never paid me the rest, nothing. I ended up losing the ring I pawned cause I couldn't pay to get it back...was going to use my next payment to get it out. After that I stopped helping people and pretty much stopped caring, because that just about killed me.
My brother always pawned my niece onto me while I was gaming.
He'd walk into my room, see I'm just on my PC or Xbox and sit my niece down and announce that Aunty So-So wants to hang out.
After months of him doing this and me asking about getting paid, his response being "You just play games all day, you don't need money. You can watch her."
Meanwhile he's in the living room doing the exact same thing as me, gaming.
Finally I told him "I have birth control, I don't have kids. So stop giving me one I don't want."
I love my niece. She's just not my daughter.

The fake cancer story reminds me of how in my friend group there were these 2 girls that had been friends since they were very small, we'll call one F and the other L, and a few years ago everyone dropped friend F because she was lying to people about having skin cancer so she can try to get money. She especially tried to shake down friend L because friend L had worked a lot and has a lot of money saved up and friend L had lost her mom to cancer when they were in middle school. Friend F just wanted the money to go see her british boyfriend overseas. What baffles me is that friend F is a catfish. She's not conventionally pretty, but I know she always edits the absolute shit out of her photos to look thin and curvy (like she goes from a size 18 to a size 6 with facetune). Idk what her endgame was with that boyfriend. We dropped her as a friend bc that was sketchy and fucked up behavior and we'll have absolutely none of that.
When I help someone like this, I'll ask for the diagnosis on writing stating the person suffers from something.

Former vet receptionist here. I know exactly how that person felt with people complaining. For anyone going into that field, pick your location wisely. Have an iron gut and understand you can't help everyone. I worked a place that on the outside made it seem like they cared and were for emergencies but behind the scenes, no one really cared. Everyone had a fake bond with clients and when an emergency came, they rolled their eyes.
I remember a frenchie i adore got bit by a dog pretty badly and rushed to us in hysterics and tears 15 mins before closing on a not so busy saturday. I went back to check on them and the doctor told me to say he was gone.. To say he left 15 mins early.. a long time client with a shaken frenchie covered in blood.
I wanted to cry. I helped cleaned her up and called her an uber with my own money to the nearest emergency vet and even called her on my personal cell to check up on her baby.
Never again will I work for a vet.

14:54 I've learned that a lot of times when there are people like that homeless guy, when they say stuff like "will work for food", etc., they want money.
Man, the moving story sounds like a friend of my dad's who got him to help him move because he was too cheap to hire a moving company (he'd lived in his house for decades). He made my 60+ yo dad pack up his whole house and carry big furniture. My dad does 90% of maintaining this friendship, I swear.
I don't get why people hate JUST getting peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, those are fucking delicious
Yes true ya dont lie mmmmmm
Man they are delcuis from some boy who lives in poor suburbs man they are delicuis
I hate jelly... But I LOVE peanut butter
My parents have had something like this happen. They handed a women begging for food a sandwich, then left to go inside of our aparment. The women followed them I guess and proceeded to tear the screen off of the window as she tried to get into out apartment. I'm not sure what she wanted but man that women.
She sounds like she deserves to be homeless.Were there consequences for her actions?
@@enescetiner4839 not that I know of, she simply left after awhile.
Usually, beggars are being exploited by mafia, gangs, or something like that, and certain spots are their 'property'. If they don't bring them enough money, they'll be beaten or even left somewhere to die. It's not just a matter of entitlement, sadly.
My "F--- It! I'm done helping others moment" was when I kept getting bothered by sooooo many idiots who don't even know how to do anything on a PC, including how to turn one on, at a public library. You ain't got any business going on a computer if you don't even know how to turn on a computer. If it was elderly people just getting on computers for the first time, I can understand, but if you're in your 30s (early, mid, or late) you should already know.
All of this reminds me, my dad had a "friend" who called him all the time, like weekly, asking for help with whatever. At some point the guy's mom also started to call dad for help. IIRC, the guy was depressed or had some other mental issues, and the mom was elderly and maybe somehow disabled, I'm not sure, but I understood they did actually need help, but it was *so draining* for my dad when they kept turning to him with *everything.* Dad is the sweetest, kindest person, and it's really hard for him to say no. It hurt seeing him that tired every time the phone rang and after those calls.
This went on for years. I don't know what evetually happened, maybe they moved, found help elsewhere, or died, or maybe dad finally managed to tell them to stop using him for everything. But I'm so happy it's over!
We stan the OP who stole the dog back!
9:49 The lady wanted to be let in so she could case the place and see if it had anything worth taking. And if so, either come back later and rob the place, or have someone rob it for her.
My brother brought his ex into my house the day of the court date that was about her kidnapping him and threatening to kill him. He didn't even live with me at the time. He asked me to let him take a break there between bike rides around town in the heat. I surprised him by conning home during lunch (I lived two blocks from work) to get pain meds. He then lied about trash I found in the house that obviously wasn't his and rushed me out of the house. AND THEN stole my dice bag. Of all the b.s. he did that was the last straw...
I have my own story where im done with helping people.
This started early october. I used to hold a door open for nearly everyone. The reason i stopped was because my 'friends' would call me a simp.
Another story is in are school due to the covid 19 issue my year group where put in to a small part of one of the halls.because of this the school brought chair in which we had to stack up at the end of brake and lunch. But when i would stand up at the end all my 'friends' would stack the chairs up on mine and expet me to carry them it annoyed me because non of them ask me if i could or said thanks . What made it worse other kids who i did not even know would start to stack up for me to carry and on a avg. I would carry 20 chairs a day. Then due to the amount of chairs i was carrying i started to get back pains. To stop them from doing this i went and sat with my other nicer friend ( who is a girl, im a boy, this is important ) becuse i didnt sit with them any more they herassed me and my other friend on a group chat .
*rSlash if you would like to see the message i can email screenshots.
Edit: i didnt classify what i ment by herass me and my friend (for simplicty i call this friend G and the 'friend' W)so a exsample is because i heavier/ overwight then someone else my age. So W added me and G to a group chat and compired us to muscle man and starla from regular show.
Holding doors is courteous. It doesnt make you a simp, it means your a man who is respectful. Call your friends who dont hold doors open simps since they dont want to be men.
Don't bother calling them anything but if you get the chance, close a door in one of there faces. When they complain (and they will) tell them your not a simp for them and walk away.
You're not a simp for holding open doors. You're showing basic respect. Saying you're a simp because you're nice is one of the stupidest things those kids could say. If they try the chair stacking thing again, walk away. Don't say anything to them, just walk away. If they call after you and start calling you names, tell them it's their chair and therefore their responsibility, and that you're not going to help them until they learn enough manners to ask you for help without taking advantage of your hospitality. Also, people who talk shit online when they can say to your face are scared they'll get punched. So not only are they rude and entitled, they're also cowards. Keep your chin up.
The chair thing brought back memories. As others have mentioned, when they start stack the chairs, just let go and walk away.
Holding a door for someone shows courtesy and respect, something the others who tease you don't have. And as far as the chair thing, simply pick up one char off the pile, state that you are responsible for only one chair, and walk away with it. Let them sort out theirs. They will figure it out. You do not have to be thoughtful regarding the people that disrespect you. Simple base courtesy, base politeness is all that is necessary. Spend your time on the ones that show you kindness and respect in return.
I would've offered the guy $100 right then and there for the dog. Gaurantee he would've taken it.
To the lady who stole the dog I have this to say; Yeah! You go girl!
My "F-- it! I'm done helping others" moment was when i gave others my pencils and they wouldn't give it back.
My mom and dad love Halloween. Then one year a lady took a pic with her phone of the candy and the house as either a "don't go there the candy sucks" or "they snuck drugs into this candy and here's the proof" so after that my parents just turned the lights off every year and ignored the world.
There was a girl I worked with that seemed nice and had a son and a dead beat father. I helped her with money to pay rent and get food and whatever else she needed. Then I saw that she treated her kid like a burden and kept him in his room the whole time. Eventually she began to boast about how she only used me for money, like other people would look up to her for doing that. And for some reason she kept trying to pretend we were friends, I guess to keep getting at my money. After that I stopped lending money to anyone.
A few years ago there was an incident in Calgary, AB where a woman was heard screaming for help in an alley - noone helped her, noone approached her, noone called the cops. She had been shot and died in the street. We are well beyond the point of "losing hope for humanity"
My moment was with my ex roommate. I have an entire story Time video on her on my channel but to summarize it she essentially tried to indoctrinate me into a small cult she and her friends had that centered around her having the soul of a dead princess from another planet full of Sky pirates within her body. She constantly stole my food stole my clothes etc. She tried to ruin my D&D campaign, she was just overall a nightmare. When I eventually got sick of it and moved out, she threw a fit about how I was screwing her over and leaving her with nothing because she couldn't have been bothered to bring any cookware or plates to culinary school. so it meant that I was leaving her with no way to make food for herself. for this reason she thought she was justified in telling me I was obligated to leave my gaming consoles behind for her because I and the reason she's addicted to video games since I provided her the ability to play them when she never had them as a child.
I've been taken advantage of many, many times, but the following 2 stories ended my desire to help anyone any longer, and both stories involve members of the same family. First is about the mom, a woman near my age. We became friends because her youngest son (18 years old at the time) went to school and was friends with my oldest son (17 years old at the time). Things were great at first -- we had dinners together, watched movies together, played karaoke (on her PS2), etc. Within a month or so she started asking for things -- little things at first. Like can she bum a cigarette (I smoked then, for about 5 years, and have since quit), can she have a few rolls of toilet paper, can she have a few cans of soda. She was my friend and I wanted to help. But then things started to escalate. She needed money or she'd be evicted, she needed food or she'd starve, she needed diabetes meds and testing supplies, etc. It took longer than I care to admit but I caught on eventually. I stopped answering her calls because EVERY call was her begging for stuff. So she started bugging me by Facebook Messenger, starting off by asking how I was but then within seconds would start begging for stuff. It was like asking how I was was her opener, and it didn't matter what I said in response, she'd then jump into begging. I could have said, "I'm bleeding out my eyes and I'm seconds from dying." She'd just reply with, "Oh, that's too bad. Listen, I need..." I stopped even looking at her FB messages. Then she started harassing other members of my family on FB, making it sound like she was having an emergency and it was beyond important that she talk to me. I told all my family to ignore her. She eventually stopped contacting me, but it took MONTHS. --- The second story is about her son, the same one mentioned in the above story. This was years later and the 18 year old was then 22. He got kicked out of a room-for-rent situation and asked if he could crash at our house. We live in a mobile home community and they have weird rules -- you can't have overnight guests for more than 3 days in a row, and no more than 20 total overnight stays in a month. So I told him this. The only way I was allowed a permanent roomer was if they were my legal caregiver. I am disabled (hence the 'OnWheels' in my name), so I offered him the job. He agreed. The first few weeks were great. Then he kinda stopped doing stuff, or would do stuff poorly. Then stuff started turning up missing, like a digital camera, an older camcorder, 2 computers, cigarettes, food, etc. Then HE would turn up missing, for days at a time! One night, I felt like something was off and I opened my eyes. He was standing over me, staring at me. I blinked a few times and said, "What??" He replied, "Do you want some pancakes?" It was just after two AM. I snarked, "No, I don't want pancakes! I'm sleeping!" He walked away but I had it figured out -- I left my cigarettes out on my night table each night... he was staring intently, watching to see if I'd wake up while he tried to steal my cigarettes. This went on for a while but it's hard to fire people who live in your house. We then learned that he was on meth and was stealing from me so he could buy drugs. He eventually left on his own... his room was beyond God awful and WE had to clean it because he refused to. He's since apologized but I can never trust him again, or anyone, really. They weren't the only people to take advantage of me but they were the worst.
as someone with a semi-disabled(cant walk long distances, heart problems, type 2 diabetes, MS, etc) parent, i really hope that never happens to you again. i wish i could donate money to you but, im only 15 so theres only so much I can do. :3
@@kovyvuri Thank you! I appreciate the thought. Happy holidays!
I had that exact scenario happen to me, someone knocked on my door at 11pm with 2 kids saying they just got evicted & needed a place to stay... I wanted to help but ultimately couldn't trust them and said no despite the begging. I felt really bad about it for a while but now I realize that was probably the right choice, even if they were genuine
7:47 "Vets have one of the highest suicide rates of all professions." I looked up the data because this interested me. Based on my research the worst area for men is building and construction work, at the very low menial levels. The picture for women is unclear and mixed without any 1 strong standout.
EDIT: www.ons.gov.uk/peoplepopulationandcommunity/birthsdeathsandmarriages/deaths/articles/suicidebyoccupation/england2011to2015 Data I used
911 operators and EMTs are also professions of high suicide rates
My old friend took advantage of me, emotionally. As I would be the only person who she talked to on the course at any kind of depth, we had long conversations before and after classes. Her home life wasn't the best, so I wanted to help her leave the house for the classes we had abs just be of emotional support.
She started to not tell me that she wasn't going to class or meet up 30 minutes after the arranged time (but would be fuming if someone else did that to me), not reply to a question for weeks... I finally snapped. I had enough. Especially that my current course pals have been amazing to me and I try to be the same in return.
Ive been a veterinarian technician for 12 years now. I can second, How entitled and rude people are when you are just trying to save that are animals and how depressing it can be it said people assume that we are veterinary technicians That we can afford the treatments that they have and not pay for it its sad. And i have know many great drs who took their own lives due to all the depression and money issues they have had. Watched marriages end because of it. More awareness needs to be brought to this horrible issue.
I agree 100%. I'm a vet student and I want to be a technician.
@@livingnightmare969 I wish you much luck in your studies! And offer advice of having a strong support system, and making those strong bonds with your coworkers. It is a very dark and depressing road working with animals and seeing the nightmares people do to them. But its also very amazing and rewarding when you save those you can. But it is hard to see that threw all the darkness, so a strong support system or even just 1 friend can save you from falling into depression
@@Maylilld Thank you
14:24 this is the first time Iâve heard someone would prefer to help a human over helping a dog
I'm Ex-Military, but I have a weird story from my time in Basic that the woman in the middle of the night story reminded me of. I was staying at a Charlie company in Basic, pulling Fireguard when some guys ran downstairs, (Females stayed on the ground floor while the upper floors were Male) and to the Drill Sgts, panicking cause they heard a woman screaming for help outside. Us Females and the Drill Sgt on Night Duty were super confused cause we heard nothing. The guys were insistent, so the Drill Sgt woke everyone up and we searched outside. Found nothing. Nobody but the males had heard anything. This repeated a few more times randomly throughout the Cycle, and it became one of the Ghost Stories of Charlie Company. The males on the 2nd and Third Floors were the only ones who ever heard the woman screaming for help outside.
My boys watched this "homeless" dude on their short walk to school. He would walk a few blocks away from his begging spot change from his rags into fine clothes and get in a fancy car. Most people who really need the money won't sit on corners begging. Those are usually professional beggers and they make more money than you would believe. Oh! And the beggers get in fights over the best money making spots. Give your money to Salvation Army or some other charity like a food kitchen.
âExpecting Hospital level care on a dollar store level budgetâ _laughs in Canadian_ for an actual Hospital, but unfortunately, vets still cost a lot
I've been the girl running before one time it took me knocking on 10 doors before a teen girl helped me hide for 5 minutes and gave me her jacket which I refused to take with me even if she persisted her parents thought I was trying to rob them but she honestly probably saved my life I was being chased in a car and crying hysterically I thank that woman every time I think about it. It sucks I dont even remember her name but she's what the world needs
To answer Dabneyâs question, I once knew this girl letâs name her C in primary school. I tried several times to be her friend despite C persistently bullied me but those efforts went into the bin after she told me to âpassionately hugâ my friends (NW, at the time until he would bully me in high school, and BH for short) I immediately thought âstuff you, C, Iâm tellingâ and told a member of school staff. I ended up giving her the cold shoulder for the rest of the school year
Man, this deleted guy sure has a lot of stories to tell!
That one with the poor pup, I'm so glad its now a felony to abuse animals, at least in colorado it is, if that had been the case in the story the guy would be in prison now
Four years back, we helped my dad's mum move into a housing shelter for elderly, (think two storey flats attached in a square) and a year in her living there, it snowed really bad in December/January time.
She couldn't leave her flat because she was eighty odd and complained her legs hurt.
We offered to buy and deliver shopping that week.
Then afterwards the old MIL liked this system, so we continued on the promise she resumes paying her own debts or rent (she always complained she didn't have enough money to pay for bills and shopping).
Six months later, something like that, my mum went down to drop of shopping and found out that old woman had opened a second bank account and instead of paying bills was pouring pension money in there- she already had an ISA.
Mum went ballistic and told old MIL that we were never buying her shopping again. I had never seen mum so angry.
However due to Covid, we have to deliver shopping to old woman but this time she has to pay us back for every trip and mum makes sure of that.
Basically we couldn't trust her to keep her promise again after that.
My father told me about the time when the Valdivia's earthquake came around (chile), his father gave a lot of new bricks to help people to make a new home. The next day, he saw the same people he gave those bricks SELLING them. Their house was destroyed, the guy knew how to make a house, but decided just to sell something that my grandpa donated. You can imagine his look when he was asked for help others after that.
The story about the monster abusing a puppy pisses me off! Especially after rescuing a beautiful English mastiff great Dane mix and seeing the horrific abuse he suffered... the MONSTERS had cut his ear then cauterize the wound, among other obvious sines of abuse. WTF is wrong with these âpeopleâ!?! Sorry for ranting, not sorry for the passion behind the rant.

A woman posted on a Facebook group, asking for winter jackets for her children. I had her meet me at a consignment shop, and let her pick out jackets for all 4 of her kids, as well as herself and her husband. I also let her get everyone hats and mittens. We parted, both happy. A few weeks later, I was advertising that I had some blankets to giveaway. She asks for them, and I said she could come by to pick them up. When she arrived, all 4 of her children were in the car, all coatless and shivering. She must have returned the jackets for money as soon as we parted, after our first meeting. She later wound up in jail, as an accompliace to murder.
Holy hell, I feel the veterinarian post the most. If we say we cannot get you in and refer you to a different hospital, thereâs a reason why we cannot get you in. The holiday season brings more appointments and less patience from clients. Make appointments early and be patient with us as we work to take care of your pet. We know you are stressed, donât take it out on people trying to help you. One rude client can destroy a person trying to help.
THAT is when I say, âF*** it, Iâm done.â

The story of the homeless person shows part of the real issue. they don't want food, they want money, for drugs or alcohol. this is why you don't give them money, give them food or the like, if they really need it they will be happy about it. If all they want is money to feed their addiction they will act like the guy in the story.
I hope you all have a grand Christmas!
Thanks mate
My mother was being blatantly homophobic in front of me with the excuse that âyour grandfather donât want no queer grandchildrenâ and I looked her in the eye in front of her friends and said âha. Too lateâ
My furbaby got sick awhile back, and I ended up at the emergency vet with him at 2 in the morning. I can't imagine calling the next morning and bitching at the people who saved his life over some fees. Some people are so heartless
(Yes, he's fine, he had a UTI. All is well in his world now)
I work at a gas station and a lady came up begging for a few dollars for gas money to go home. I was totally willing and going to help her, then she said "please have a heart". I've seen people under freeways ask for money with more humility than that. I never felt so unmotivated to help someone 'til right then. I gave her $10 and didn't say a single thing afterward.
If you need help, humble yourself and just ask, don't try to make it seem like it's their job as a human being to be generous.
"Vets actually have one of the highest suicide rates of all professions"
Didn't Rslash say that about dentists as well? đ€
I guess that means someone specializing in animal dental care has a literal death wish ;)
Well yeah, I've actually expirenced vets having a high suicide rate first hand. My dad has been a vet for almost 40 years, 4 of his best friends in the work force have killed themselves, and he's contemplated it multiple times. He's in therapy now and is doing much better, but I dont think people understand just how much being a vet can toll on you.
Dentists used to have the highest, but not anymore since euthanasia is commonly used nowadays. That and other things. Search for my post to learn a bit more if you'd like.
my "f*** it i am done helping others" moment was when i was going to the store, and there was another woman, she had three kids with her, and had a homeless sign............i had just purchased a mobile home with 4 bedrooms and since it was just me, i decided to allow her and her kids to move in with me for a month, rent free.......as supposedly she was going to get a new apartment the next month........so i figured "just temporary, and i will be doing a good thing for others" oh boy........was this the biggest mistake of my life.......within days, strange men kept coming over looking for her, weird smells coming from her room........and just when i thought it would not get any worse.......i had a fire in my home, emanating from her room........well after the smoke had settled, they found a meth lab in her room.......she had converted her room to a meth lab, and moved herself into what was supposed to be my guest bedroom for family.......which she also trashed.............and that was not the worst part......she told the cops I WAS MAKING THE METH!!!! so guess who got arrested? Thankfully after a drug test i was released and that was the end of that.
karma came though, thankfully, and while i am not a fan of wishing ill on people, i was super happy to hear that her and her brood of entitled brats were involved in a car accident........she was badly injured, and they found she had meth in her system, in her car, and even had it in her kids backpacks.......so she got like 40 years for multiple counts of possession of illegal substances, her kids taken from her, and those kids placed in foster care which got their heads out of their butts, and her son now is working at a car dealership and keeping his nose clean........he appologized to me for how his mom behaved, and i said i forgave him, but she got what she deserved and that i was happy he made something of himself........he said nothing of what happened to his sisters, i can only hope they made something of themselves too
To this day, i refuse to help homeless people, i wont even give them money, but i will hand them job listings from the news paper :)
The eating about vets is people view them as being similar in terms of medical costs. When the reality is their insurance covers the majority of the costs, and they only see a small portion of the cost. So they freak out over the high costs, yet have no idea how much medical coverage really does cost.
A lot of people think that homeless people who throw away/donât accept food, are being choosing beggars. But at some shelters and through experience, they learn to not accept/eat the food because of jerks who like to try and poison homeless people. Which is awful to think that despite their hunger, they could be risking their vulnerable health by eating food given by a âGood Samaritanâ.
Everybody is link fu fighting my clicks are as fast lightning

Ah, yes. When I was a little girl, my mom had a revelatory moment in which she wanted to repay life for the luck she had those past years. She started helping a small group who assisted people who were sleeping on the streets; they cooked them warm meals and started funds to buy stuff they might need, like sleeping bags or extra sheets... But, yall know that saying? the "some people are beyond our help" thing? Well, that. Many of those homeless people started asking for stuff like money for drugs, or started stealing from us.. the straw that broke the camels back was when Mom got a homeless young adult an interview in the company she worked on, it was for warehouse duty, she worked on air-conditioning equipment... and the dude never showed up, and later she found him doing drugs with the others.. I know, I know, it's a disease... BUT. It was so frustrating... So we both left, and started helping on a dog pound. Animals are way better than people.
with the vet appointment:
Should've just gave the people they're refunds. and the disease back. Then charge them extra to get rid of the disease that you just gave the pet back.
did anyone else imagine the thief "friend" from the first story as Dutch from red dead redemptionđđđ

My "f- this" moment was when I discovered that people who thought were my friends used my ideas without crediting me, one straight up copied one of my character's outfit, something I first didn't want to be true. These people in general just randomly stopped caring about me or my project, completely stopped interacting with me the same way I interacted with them, once other and bigger artists appeared. In the end I was unknowingly used as a source for ideas and it really broke my spirit about how I view my art. It hurts me that the ideas I take so long to develop and design to just be a bit changed and then used and I don't even recieve credit for it :(
That last story pissed me off. OP was trying to do something nice for this mom in need and the choosing beggar basically punished her by getting her wrongfully kicked out of the group? I would have trust issues too.
First
Nobody cares

Yes yes you are
True rental centers will definitely way overcharge you in the long run, but for someone with a low fixed income, rental businesses are an affordable way to get some nice thing, I get 780 in disability, and with help from Aaron's I've got a nice touch screen laptop, a ps4, a $1000+ couch, a nintendo switch I'm still paying on, and a 75 inch tv, as long as you budget it right, it can be a great way to get nice things that you otherwise can't afford, or as my gma would put it, I'm able to get champagne on beer money
My only complaint with the rent-a-centers is, at least here in NY, if you go on public assistance you're required to sell off your luxury items and live off that money before assistance kicks in. So you really can't own stuff like 72" TVs, etc. But, you CAN rent them!
I work in a vet clinic and its ABSOLUTELY about people expecting hospital level service on a dollar store budget. What do you mean this bag of specialized food (that they have to close the manufacturing factory down for FOUR DAYS before hand to sterilize so that no allergens get into your special dog diet) costs so much!?
I really appreciate vets. The vet that treated my gerbil has stayed past closing time a few times treating my Rio and he was always trying his best to help the little guy. Vets should get the same respect doctors do. Animals are just as valid and to their owners, pets are a part of the family. If vets weren't around, our pets would die because of things that can easily be treated with medicine and proper knowledge (my vet showed me how to give my gerbil his meds and told me what to watch for to determine if the issue happens again).
rslash, I really appreciate what you're doing. I mean, uploading on Christmas ? You really care about your fans. keep up the good work dude!
I once had a woman come into my work (I worked at a gas station) and gave me this long story about how desperate she was, and how if she didn't get any financial help, she was considering robbing my establishment. I, not wanting her to ruin her life, gave her $20 out of by wallet. I saw her about 2 months later driving a nicer car than me. So now, unless you're the Salvation Army asking for money, they answer is "NO!!".
I'm going to school to become a vet tech, and I just wanted to thank you for mentioning that the vet medicine field has one of the highest suicide rates of any job field. Not many people know that, and people can be beyond horrible to the staff at vet clinics/animal hospitals. Between the long hours, not-so-great pay, the horrible owners, having to deal with a lot of death and seeing the worst actions of humans, it really takes its toll on the staff. If you're a pet owner, please be kind to the staff of your clinic. And as much as vets and vet techs would love to be able to provide their services for free to most of the people who come in, they can't do that because they have bills to pay and if they don't get payment from you, a person who *can* afford the extra fee(s) they won't be able to help anyone. If they have to charge a fee for showing up right before closing or any other kind of fee, it's not because they're "in it for the money", animal hospitals don't have the payments from insurance companies to pay for supplies, utilities, upkeep and so on, so yeah sometimes there's a bit of an extra charge because they depend on payments from the owners to keep their business running. TL;DR don't be a jerk to the staff at your vet clinic. They work long hours, get crapped on a lot, rarely get truly thanked by people, get paid nowhere near enough for all the work they do, but still keep coming back day after day because they love animals.
Some people only have dogs for "protection".
I went to school with a Kurdish kid that was afraid of dogs (a lot of them are) and I asked him why, he told me that they have a dog in Turkey in their house there and they only have it to guard the house.
When they went to Turkey the dog would stay outside the entire time with no one interacting with it...
It broke my heart!
As someone who was a vet tech, thank you for sharing light on how bad mental health is â€
I worked at a veterinary hospital and the suicide rate isnât high because clients complain about paying. Itâs high because the amount of sadness working in that field. We had to put down a 2 year old puppy that we had been treating for liver disease and an 8 week old kitten that had an upper respiratory infection that wasnât responding to treatment. We also saw a lot of animal neglect going on, but our state has almost no laws against animal abuse. I imagine working in pediatrics is similar without the euthanasia.
rSlash, I just wanted to say I appreciate you so much! Iâve been listening to your videos for a while, and started bingeing them again during the pandemic. Youâve been there when I started working out again and losing weight, to getting me up at 5 in the morning for work. You are the best and keep doing amazing work!

The story about the lost dog reminded me of our husky. He was found under similar circumstances, except he had no collar, no chip, no nothing. We were hesitant to take him in, at first, but after nobody reacted to our flyers and posts about this dog, we decided to do this. We made the right decision. đ€đ
The pastor of a church my family used to go to once told us that itâs better to give food to homeless people on the street rather than money. He gave a story about how he once gave an unopened McDonalds burger to a homeless guy and after walking away, he turned around only to see the guy throwing the entire burger into the trash.
Thatâs why he said to give money towards charities and food to people who say they need money for. Charities often make sure that money goes to good use and you never know what will happen if you give money to someone on the street.
The "homeless guy" probably isn't really homeless. The town I live in has "homeless people" out holding signs asking for help who, at the end of the day go home and count their take. Makes it hard to want to help any one cause you can't tell the homeless from the "homeless".
That happens everywhere. Some years back in the capital, they found a dead old woman, in a crappy apartment. Everyone knew her as the beggar at the corner of a busy crossroad. What they found under her mattress stupefied them: 40 million american dollars value, in all kinds of currency. All from begging.
