Choosing Beggar Wants Friend's Car For Date, Gets Rejected, Questions Friendship


Ah, the good old choosing beggar strikes again with another ridiculous case of entitlement. This guy's biggest mistake was assuming that the car was going to be the dealbreaker when it came to getting lucky on his date. Naturally, that kind of twisted thinking resulted in one ridiculous and avoidable angry back-and-forth between friends, regarding being able to borrow a car. Hopefully they're able to salvage their friendship.

Tumblr Users Trade Unconfirmed Facts About Soda And Carrier Pigeons


Nothing fills our hearts with joy and appreciation like a couple Tumblr users swapping knowledge about the history of soda and carrier pigeons in a totally random Tumblr thread. But hey, that's what Tumblr is all about. Can't say that we knew that drinking Pepsi cold and Coke warm would result in them tasting the same. Is that real life? 

1.

Text - narwhalsarefalling fun fact im weirdly knowlagable in the history of soda i dont even drink soda why do i know so much about it narwhalsarefalling coke and pepsi taste different because coke was invent before refrigeration so it was designed to be drunk warm, while pepsi was designed after refrigeration was invented so it was designed to be drunk cold. as a result the tastes are different but if you drink pepsi cold and coke warm theyll taste the same.

2.

Text - lam-baka Why the fuck do you know this narwhalsarefalling i honestly have no idea coke's recipe was originally green but the designers made it brown so it looked more like tea squirrelstone Had they never seen green tea?

3.

Text - narwhalsarefalling i dont even know if green tea was invented in 1886 but they wanted to make the public more open to eating the fizzy drink transcoranic Green tea was invented in the 13th century and made up 22% of the tea thrown off the ship in the Boston Tea Party narwhalsarefalling alan i know about soda not green tea

4.

Text - cheap-pink-mints i will trade u information abt bees and carrier pigeons for information abt the history of soda narwhalsarefalling no one knows where the origin of the name 7up' started but it did have a mood stabilizer in the original recipe found in present day anti-depressants i want facts about bees and carrier pigeons now

5.

Text - cheap-pink-mints Carrier pigeons come from a species of Wild Rock pigeon, and their flights could be as long as 1800 km and were used as early as 3000 years ago. You know in old cartoons where a character throws a beehive at someone, and you think 'lol, but that wouldn't work in real life'. Turns out it would, and did. People used to lob beehives at the approximate location of the enemy forces to expose them. narwhalsarefalling this is amazing thank you Source: narwhalsarefalling 130 699

Landlord Tries To Scam Tenants For $80, Ends Up Paying $6K


This landlord thought they'd simply scam another few tenants with a BS "cleaning fee." Fortunately, these tenants decided to fight back with a smart and effective revenge. You better believe that the landlord is kicking himself now, to the tune of $6,000. Ouch, but definitely deserved. 

1.

Text - r/ProRevenge + JOIN u/UnderwhelmingTwin • 2d Scam me for $80 for "cleaning" on move out? I don't think so, Jack. TLDR at bottom. Background:

2.

Text - About 10 years ago my landlord died. Or at least the person who owned the place we were renting. The property managers had been delightful, but whoever inherited wanted to sell, so the house was for sale. Enter a jackass--we'll call him Jack--who decides to buy the place. Now ours was the top floor (ie: attic converted into a suite) of a house, less than 35sq meters (375sq feet). The bathroom was literally where the stairs up to the top floor used to be. The place was tiny.

3.

Text - Jack came to check out the place, as you should before buying a place. He had one of those blue- tooth earpieces in and I can't even remember if he even acknowledged us. He spent about 30-45 seconds in our suite. Next time we hear from him is about a month later, apparently he'd bought the place. He stops by to give us a notice of rent increase, effective in 6 months (legal minimum). From $485 to $795. The place is not worth that much.

4.

Text - We say nuts to that and decide to buy a house, since WTH it's not much more per month (surprise to anyone who's never bought a house: it _was_ more than just mortgage payments). We give him all the required notice to move out. We move, and clean the place up really well. Mind you, when my partner moved in it was not especially clean (and we happen to have the move in inspection which mentions this). Jack decides to try to scam us for $80 of our damage deposit for 'cleaning.' He doesn't pr

5.

Text - Jack (assuming we need the cash for our next damage deposit or bills and will settle for anything): Take this or l'm going to keep your whole deposit. Cue Revenge: So he decides to just keep the whole deposit ($485).

6.

Text - I file paperwork with the rentalsman: who unsurprisingly, after their investigation, rule in my favour. He's ordered to refund the whole deposit. But Jack decides, not to pay. And the rentalsman doesn't have any enforcement powers. So I have to go to the local sheriffs office. They can send a legal demand letter for the deposit + costs. But it will cost me $100-150 (I forget) up front. Sure go ahead. Jack decides to ignore the sheriff's kindly letter. Sheriffs say that they can start proc

7.

Text - I guess most people quit at this point. Being out of pocket -$700, throwing more money at the problem and maybe having to wait months didn't appeal to them. And there's also a chance you never collect. I chose to pay the sheriffs. They sent another, less friendly letter to Jack. But here's the best part: now that they're recovering a debt, they're going to recover on ALL of the outstanding judgements against him. And apparently he has tried this shit before.

8.

Text - They send him another couple letters: pay up or else. Jack chose else. Then they seize title to Jack's giant white SUV (I can't remember what it was, but not a cheap one). They didn't physically take it away or anything, but they gave him 30 days to pay all the judgements against him or they would take it and sell it at auction.

9.

Text - Somehow he all of a sudden found the money. My share: $485+$150+$250=$885. The other people who'd registered judgements, but not paid to start the collections processes were about $5,000 more. I can't remember how long the whole process took, at least 6 months though. TLDR: Landlord tries to scam us for $80 for 'cleaning' when we move out. Ends up costing him almost $6,000.

Guy Gets Scammed For $600 Over Xbox, Humiliates Scammer


Don't go messing with Norwegians and their code of honor. Also, just don't be a scummy scammer like this dude. Apparently the scammer played the guy trying to buy an Xbox One for $600. Not cool! Fortunately, the revenge was successful and the scammer learned their lesson. 

1.

Text - You scammed me of $600 for an xbox with games that never showed up? Let's humiliate you for your entire family and close friends to see. About 3 months ago I was buying an xbox one x with like 10 games on it on Finn.no which is the Norwegian equivalent of Craigslist / Ebay. I contact the seller and ask to buy it with tracked shipping. I pay for it up front because generally honor is a pretty big thing in Norway and stealing is very frowned upon, people usually follow up on the sending wit

2.

Text - So I try to contact him and he says it's just a bit delayed. A few more weeks go by and nothing, and he stops answering my messages. I tell him about the legal stuff and he continues to ignore me. A week later I message his parents and gf on Facebook with screenshots of both the conversation and the transaction. He then messages me and says he'll send me the money when he gets paid in 2 weeks.

3.

Text - 2 weeks go by and surprise, no payment and no response to my messages. I then contact about 10 people from his Instagram with the story and screenshots and saying he's not responding to me. Im not bothered to go through the police cause that would take forever. Im relying on the honor culture that he'll be socially pressured into returning the money. He says he needs another 2 weeks to pay me back. I check his Facebook again and see that he just bought a brand new mountain bike for around

4.

Text - A woman responds saying she'd ask him about it via text. He says to her that he never got the money, so I sent a screen cap of the transaction and him saying he received the money and sent the package, so her and I caught him in a lie. He then responds to my original texts saying that he was gonna pay me back, but now that I have told people about it, he doesn't want to. And he says it's illegal for me to message his friends and takes the moral high road after scamming me for $600(fuck th

5.

Text - He stops responding to me again, so now I message 30 people via his Facebook and Instagram to his family and friends. I get a lot of responses and a lot of people taking my side of this. He must've gotten bombarded with questions and messages, as he messages me an hour later saying he'll pay me back, just get the messages to stop. 2 days later I finally get my money back a few months after the scam. TL;DR: guy tried to scam me for $600, I tell all of his close family and friends, he loses

World Record Dive POV is Nope-City


Gotta hand it to Laso Schaller on this one. Probably the first thing one notices on viewing a fall of 58.8 meters (or about 192 feet) is how goddamn fast it goes. It's a stark reminder that gravity is your daddy and at any point you could fall off papa's lap. For another crazy POV there's this mountain biker's adrenaline-charged ride.

The Strangest Things Coworkers Say


Twitter users are sharing the strangest things their coworkers say. It could be something as simple as an enthused "good morning" from a coworker that always seems to wake up on the right side of the bed, while you are busy cursing the daily morning grind. Or maybe, it's genuinely puzzling nonsense from clueless coworkers that has you scratching your head. Some of these might ring a bell.

Obvious Scams Americans Have Been Conditioned To Accept


Nothing quite brings the blood to a boil like learning that you've been played by some manipulative, deceptive, straight up illegal scam. Unfortunately, the reality is that we share this world with many folks that are always proactively trying to pull a fast one on unsuspecting victims. The good news though is that you can read up on a thread like this, and hopefully break free from the vicious cycle of falling for scams that Americans have been conditioned to accept. Along a similar vein check out this woman's wonderful experience with the Icelandic healthcare system.
