Yeah, I really didn’t like my buddy’s girlfriend. I could see right through her, and she was changing by buddy for the worse. She was convincing him that his image was shit, and it really damaged his confidence. He’d change his outward appearance for her, dropped his entire lifestyle, but she had abandonment issues so wasn’t ever happy with any partner.
Turns out she was a narcissist, like bonafide. What went down next:
-
She graduates college with a STEM degree, while having freeloaded in his house her entire senior year (his mortgage)
-
She breaks up and moves out of nowhere, this several months after she insisted on all the other roommates get kicked out to “take it to the next level”
-
He goes suicidal, makes two attempts, but finds another lost soul to have a fling with, which starts to bring him out of the depression
-
Ex-girlfriend finds out about new fling, drops by house at 1am after having left the club (driving drunk, I’ll add)
-
Makes a huge scene out front of his house, I’m there for my “shift” on suicide watch, she ends up kicking me in my fucking kidney while I was squatting and smoking a cig
-
He ends up depressed again, 3rd suicide attempt and he doesn’t survive
-
I’m a pall bearer at 25 for my best friend since 8th grade
Fuck that bitch.
Sorry for your loss
Oh my God that’s fucked up. I’m sorry for your loss. I hope there is comeuppance here somewhere.
I’m so sorry for your loss. I can’t begin to imagine what kind of horrible person does that kind of shit to anyone, let alone someone who struggled so much with their mental health.
It sounds like you were a great friend to him.

Every single time I’m never wrong
no my gut feelings are always wrong, some free advice for you scammers out there
Not me but a friend I used to play World of Warcraft with.
The (at the time) #1 ranked progression guild in the world was Method. They had a player called Josh who used to stream frequently. My friend used to hate him and said he looked like the kind of guy that would spend his days on the dark web trawling for CP.
Around the time said friend had left to try out for the navy, Josh was implicated in a sexual harassment and child grooming scandal which caused Method to implode as an organisation. Most of their players abandoned ship and formed Echo in its place, in the full knowledge that everyone was covering up allegations against him, not just senior leadership.
When he got back (failed the fitness test) he was like “Called it. I knew he was a paedophile.”
Elon Musk when he first became well known and my entire friend circle and work colleagues worshipped him.
What happened? Elon Musk.
There was this guy I met at the dog park who talked nicely to everybody, especially to the ladies. He would be the kind to always greet you, offered to share his snacks. He seemed to always be at the center of the conversation.
He tended to orbit around my now gf and for a long time he forcefully sticked with us, all good there at the beginning. But as soon as I started going out with her his behavior changed. Instead of being a direct ass to me he tried to monopolize my girlfriend’s attention, being overly attentive, stomping over me when I was talking, always trying to dominate the conversation.
Now, his true color started to show when I confronted him when he was trying to impose his lifestyle on others.
He attempted to get a mutual friend to drink with him, which is by no means bad, the problem was than this mutual friend was a recorying alcoholic.
He tried to coherse her by using social pressure, saying that you should enjoy (which is true, but he doesn’t get a say in how anyone else “enjoy” THEIR LIVES), but I standed against it. The few times we drank together I was able to keep her from overdrinking, sooooo he started to invite her without acquaitances.
Long story short:
- He got our mutual friund hooked again to the point of losing her job.
- I untintentionally got the best of him, such as “women are less value than the historical sites they destroy in feminist rallies” and regarding his own girlfriend who doesn’t want to have kids “she is to young to know that”. He once asked this out of nowhere “how old do you think they are?”, whes referring to two teenagers who were clearly 15 at best.
- It turns out that majority of the dog owners dislike this guy. But, no one ever said anything because we all thought he was well liked in the cammunity.
There’s a thing called the Abilene paradox. A family is hanging out when one of the suggests having dinner in Abilene. It’s a hot day and a long drive, but nobody wants to be left out, so they all agree. After a terrible dinner, they all reveal their frustrations at the event when the person who suggested it notes that it was the first thing they thought of, as they thought everyone else was bored.
Thus, everyone sits in wonder at how they all convinced each other to do something nobody among them wanted to do.
It’s fun how often that includes hanging out with someone.
Abilene paradox doesn’t exist. That’s a failure of communication and a benign dishonesty with each other. State you’re bored and check the room before making everyone go on a journey. Get to an understanding before making plans.
The new boyfriend of a friend of mine.
She thought, he’s super nice, then told me he was jealous of me, because I’m a man befriended with a woman. When we met, he seemed constantly worried about not seeming beta, weak or somehow “unmanly”. She thought he’s just a bit nervous.
Yeah, turned out he was absolutely ready to rape her, stalked her after she broke up and sent her “presents” over two years. Really really pathetic little guy.

Every last worker in the social services industry I’ve ever met. Well-liked by everyone except the people who find themselves at the other end of their decisions, these people having their livelihoods shattered by them when the money is needed. They all look, sound, and act like mass-produced clones of each other, almost like they vet each other for similarities to themselves. Sad part is I could’ve become one given my education.
So sorry you’ve never met the good ones.
My mom did, it was Jared Fogle while he was visiting the elementary school she works at a few years before the arrest, we all know what happened.
Well no I don’t
As the other person said, he’s a pedophile, and that’s… putting it nicely. The dude was a nightmare that abused his fame and status to abuse children all over the world.
There’s a documentary on … I think curiosity stream and probably some other platforms that’s worth a watch if you’re into true crime. Totally crazy
Met a guy at a house party that everyone seemed to like. Had some interesting stories, but he mostly came off as a self obsessed dickhead.
He later became pretty noteworthy in the industry he worked in.
10 years on from when I met him, turns out he’s at best a serial sexual assaulter, and a serial rapist at worst.
Quite the contrary. I had a good feeling about the principal of my sons new school, and he was part of the reason why we went for the school.
He didn’t last another year there. First he was not seen for months, and now we know that he is under arrest for possession of child porn.
Up to then I generally had a feeling that I could assess people quite well. Now, that feeling is shattered.
Yea, one was arrested for sodomizing his adopted child. The other one was arrested for showing himself to a minor
Holy shit
Multiple times. They usually end up being sexual creeps, narcissists, or both.
Bill Cosby comes to mind. Creepy and not at all funny. Never understood the appeal.
If you can, seek out the docuseries “we need to talk about Cosby”. As someone born in the mid 80s I never got the appeal because the Simpsons were the replacement TV family to supersede that generation of sitcom. The docuseries does a great job of giving the viewer the full picture and the first episode is mostly around why he was so successful. Honestly I got it. They played some of his stand-up bits and I found myself laughing despite knowing where the story was going. When he got the Cosby show, it was a revolution at the time to have an all black upper middle class family on TV, hence where you get the America’s dad (in its time). It’s all the more impactful when you spend the following episodes digging into his depravity.
The Jello pudding thing was weird. The “boys pull up your pants” was also.
The pants thing was due to the trend of sagging. I don’t mean just riding low around your hips, i mean down to the knees having to hold it while you walk.
I agree ‘sagging’ is incredibly dumb and an odd trend. It was the sanctimonious old-guy way he tried to lecture people about it, which seemed interesting when it turned out he was hardly a role model.
