Truck Drivers' Spookiest Experiences

Someone on AskReddit got a thread going about truck drivers' creepiest experiences from their time out on the road. Turns out if you spend enough time out on the road, you're bound to encounter some especially spooky phenomenon.

Apparently there was an older guy in Oklahoma City who went by the handle "Bamm Bamm" on CB radio channel 19, and had a recording of the "I ain't got no panties on" that would play every so often on his ridiculously, illegally overpowered CB radio setup. Later he had another creepy recording he'd play. He was infamous amongst truckers and amateur radio operators a

Monsoon time, raining cats and dogs just pouring so hard you could barely see going 20mph. Thunder and lightning just rocking the car. Sometimes turning into hail and pounding you. Just a nasty storm. Came around a corner, and the whole country side legit on fire. Like 20' tall flames, hundreds of yards

I spent the next few hours waiting for whatever it was to come back but it never did. In the morning I couldn't find

Misfortune Monday: Chaos Has Many Names

Any resident of this planet is well aware that a lot can go wrong. Spaghettis will be dropped onto carpets. Dump trucks will explode. Frisbees will get stuck on roofs. At a certain point, all we can do is sit back and take in these many flavors of chaos while reminding ourselves that at least it doesn't happen to us every day.

Landlord's Jealous Of Tenant's Income, Raises Rent, Gets Defeated Years Later

Enough of all the landlords in the world trying to take advantage of their kindhearted tenants just trying to plant their roots. Seriously, this landlord thought they'd be able to pull a fast one on the tenant and raise their rent by $500 just because they knew the tenant had the money to pay that. Fortunately, the landlord was stopped in their tracks.

Text - r/RegularRevenge u/RockyMoose • 3y + Join Landlord is jealous of my income, raises my rent $500. I screw him years later for $20k. Pro EDIT: original post is back on O r/prorevenge Just a little mix-up, thanks to the mods there for being cool. Is keeping the repost here ok? (This post was mod-removed from O r/prorevenge and I'm not exactly sure why. No rules were broken and all names are made up and changed!. I hope the repost is ok and that O r/RegularRevenge is a more appropriate subred

2.

Text - TLDR is the same as the title: Landlord is jealous of my income, raises my rent 50%. I screw him years later for $20k. In the late '90s wife and I were just married, just getting started, and we decided to DINK ("double income, no kids") it for a few years to save up for a down payment on a house. The dotcom bubble was still rising and I was a newly minted software developer. I had an entry-level job for a while and then got recruited to a new city and a new job that paid 3x what I was ma

3.

Text - We rented an apartment in the new city that was listed for $950/mo. The landlord was a real estate agent who owned a two-bedroom condo as an investment property. Let's call him "Hank Wazowski". Hank was a thin, gray, no-nonsense guy. He was pleasant enough, but perfunctory, dry, and had no sense of humor. He made a point of explaining that under no circumstances was he responsible for maintaining the garbage disposal and that it was NOT included in the rental agreement and he would not be

4.

Text - We filled out the rental agreement and the credit check, and this is where my troubles began. Hank looked hard at the credit application where I listed my job title, "Software Developer", and my income, $75k. For a 23- year-old in his second year out of college, in the late 1990's, this is a small fortune. Throw in my wife's salary and we were over six figures in income, renting an apartment far beneath our means. Like I said, DINK is the way to go when starting out. "I can't believe how

5.

Text - I explained we were saving to buy a house and that we were only going to stay in the apartment a year. "We might stay a few months after the term is over, would month-to-month be ok after a year?" Hank assured us that would be fine. We saw Hank only once during the year and he again mentioned my salary and how he couldn't believe that's what software developers were making. It was awkward and I gave a vague reply.

6.

Text - Anyway, a year later we had found a house to buy, signed all the papers, and were making plans to move. The new house wasn't going to be ready until two months after our rental lease was up, so I called Hank to ask if we could, as discussed, simply extend the lease by two months before moving out. Hank assured me on the phone it would be no problem and he would send over an extension for us to sign. The extension arrived in the mail and it included a month-to-month clause and a $500 incre

7.

Text - He was super condescending to me, "RockyMoose, it's what the apartment goes for now. I would be losing money by renting it for less." I tried to reason with him but it was very clear he knew we could afford the $500, had no choice in the matter, and he was going to screw us over as best he could. He got angry with me for arguing my point, and l'll never forget his parting words: "You don't have to like it, RockyMoose, you just have to pay it." My wife and I tried to figure out a way to mo

8.

Text - I swallowed my pride and wrote out the check for $1450 for the extra month. A month later I wrote a similar check, and then we moved out. I made sure the apartment was spotless before moving, but still Hank withheld $300 from our security deposit for bullshit things that were just a way for him to squeeze a few more dollars from the kids who made too much money. $100 for cleaning, sure? But $300 was obscene. In my mind, he had screwed me over for $1200 and there was nothing I could do abo

9.

Text - What made is even more infuriating is that I saw the ad Hank put in the paper after we moved out and he listed the apartment for rent at only $150 more than we had been paying originally, not the grossly-inflated $500 increase. And it didn't rent. A month later I saw the same ad and he had lowered the price to $75 more than we had been paying, and I assume it got rented since the ads stopped appearing. Fast-forward about five years. Life is good, the house is good, we have a baby, and eve

10.

Text - "Hey, Mike, I'm expecting someone to drop off some paperwork for me. If a Hank Wazowski asks for me, tell him l'll be right out." I freeze and get a taste of bile in my mouth remembering how I had to write out that name on those checks all those years ago. There's no way it's the same guy, right?I walk over to the Phil who is still by the reception desk. "Phil," I say, "How do you know that name, Hank Wazowski?"

11.

Text - Phil explains that Hank is his real estate agent. "I bought my condo through him several years ago. I'm selling my condo now so I can buy a house. So I'm going to ask him to be my agent again. Do you know him?" I tell Phil that I used to rent an apartment from Hank and described what he looks like. Phil confirms the description: it's the same guy, wow small world, right? And on cue, right then the front door to the office opens and in walks Hank Wazowski. I stare in disbelief. He's carryi

12.

Text - Phil and Hank shake hands and they talk for a few moments. I stand there silently, wondering what to do. Phil finally says, "Hank, this is my friend RockyMoose, I think you may have already met?" "Yes, hello Hank. Good to see you again. My wife and I were your tenants a few years ago on ---- Street. Remember, the software developer who rented for a year saving to buy a house? Well, this is where I work. Here. With Phil." Hanks eyes indicate he now remembers me, and he's starting to put it

13.

Text - Hanks nods pleasantly. He still doesn't remember the details of our last conversation. I do some quick math in my head. This is the early/mid 2000's, the real estate market is very strong and easy money for any agent. The crash of 2008 is still a few years in the future. I start to think out loud. "Selling the condo for around $150 to 200 thousand, and you're looking at houses in the $500 thousand range, so that's $650 to 700 thousand in total transactions. An agent getting 3% on the sale

14.

Text - Hank deflects my question, saying it's complicated, and tells Phil to send back the papers as soon as possible. He shakes hands with Phil, looks at me, nods, and goes to leave. "It was really good to see you again, Hank." | call behind him. He exits the building. As the door is still shutting, I say a bit too loudly, so that Hank can hear, "Phil, don't sign anything just yet, I have a story to tell you." Phil looks at me and says, "Rocky, what the hell was that all about?!" He looks pisse

15.

Text - So the great thing about Phil is that, well, he's a great guy. He says he's a little surprised at my story and has always known Hank as a straightforward guy. "But I totally see him doing that to you," he admits. "There's no way I could use him now. What a dick!" Then Phil's eyes lit up a bit, "What do you want me to say when I fire him?" (I have special feelings for Phil now.) We came up with a plan and I made sure there were some key phrases in Phil's repertoire. We planned it all out t

16.

Text - "No no, you shouldn't give a discount. You'd be losing money if you did that ... [pause] "No, this is just a decision I've made ... no, it has nothing to do with RockyMoose ... [pause] "Well, you don't have to like it, Hank. You just have to accept it. Good bye." CLICK And it was the greatest revenge I could have ever imagined: through a chance meeting years later, Hank got screwed out of twenty thousand dollars in easy commissions. And the best part is Hank absolutely KNEW it had EVERYTH
