I’ve done that. I was doing an estimate for wedding flowers, talked the bride and her mother down from dyed blue orchids in the bridal bouquet (hope you like blue dye on your white dress~~) and they pulled the “Well we talked to [independent florist], who said they could do it for cheaper.” (I work for a corporation, so I’m going to be cheaper than an independent florist) This is after a 45 minute bridal consult, so I’m already annoyed. Not only had I offered to deliver everything to the venue for free (it was across the parking lot from us, so no big deal) (also I know for a fact that the venue is high-end as hell) but I knew for a fact that there was no way they were telling me the truth. So I said “Okay. Well, I’m sorry to hear that, but I understand.” They started panicking and said the free delivery would make up for it in the end, and that the flowers wouldn’t have to travel as far this way or some bullshit explanation. The wedding was a few months away, so I called a month later, after doing the work to source product from my vendors, and left a message for her to call back and confirm. Nothing. I left another message to call me back and confirm, saying I wasn’t going to order product (it was about a $2500 order, so probably $1750 in flowers or so, special containers for the centerpieces she wanted, etc) until she confirmed. Another couple weeks go by and I ask my assistant to phone the bride’s mother since she was listed as a secondary contact. (My assistant and I didn’t always get along, she could be an entitled boomer who resented that I was half her age, but I still appreciate how pissed off she was for me.) I was doing something else and heard her suddenly go quiet. She said something like “Well, it’s your loss.” And hung up. It took her a minute to calm down enough to tell me “She said her daughter decided to go with a *real* florist.” (To clarify, I’m a certified floral designer. I just chose to sell my soul to work at a corporation for job security and decent wages/benefits.) My manager, who is one of the worst human beings I’ve ever met, even went over and bought me a coffee when she found out, and *she* was pissed. You best believe I went out on the day of that twat’s wedding, gave the venue a double middle finger salute and wished her husband-to-be a quick divorce. (To compare, one of the first weddings I did on my own about 8 years ago, the bride’s mother became a regular customer of mine, and even came to my new store when I was transferred to visit because she missed me.) I couldn’t help but think about that bridezilla from story 1 during that. (Sorry for the rant. It’s been a few years but that “real florist” shit still bugs me.)

She lived in a secure apartment block owned and run by a governmental agency for minors in her situation. When she was 16 she was moved into a council flat. A year later she and my sister had a falling out and my sister had to cut contact because her ex-friend went nuts (the lack of a stable family structure sent her to extreme self destructive behaviour).

I don't get the parents' logic in that last story. You kick your daughter out into a blizzard, essentially leaving her for dead, and when that someone who "corrupted" her comes to her aid you claim to disown her outright. Then, when that person says they're taking your not-daughter off your awful hands for good, you suddenly argue that you want her to be "cured" instead of frozen solid like you clearly originally intended? Dafuq?

One of the many instances of one of my favourite and most spoken quotes. "Every child deserves a parent, but not every parent deserves a child."

It baffles me that parents like these always say “your taking our child away from the path of god” but in the same sentence will say “she/he is no child of ours”

I wonder if the parents in the third story were hoping she would expire in the blizzard so they could write off everything they did in her name. I know it’s a horrible thing to say but to these people it wouldn’t be murder because she’s a sinner. It’s that disgusting.

That last story hits home hard. My parents adopted a friend of my brothers who grew up in a very similar situation. His parents were Jehovah's witnesses & absolutely the worst POS to walk the earth. His dad was a raging alcoholic who beat the crap out of him & his sister "because the Bible says it's ok to beat your kids". Plus the church said it was fine to discipline your kids any way you deem fit. Both parents also sexually molested their kids. What did the "Elders" of the church do once J& his sister went to them for help. Not a damn thing. They were told to shut up & they deserved to be beaten because they were liars & had become "worldly". My parents got custody of J at 16 & his sister ran off & married her BF to escape. It didn't end there. His parents would send letters,phone calls threatening to kill him & & assault my.parents. They found his dad on my parents property one evening in his pickup truck with a shotgun intending to kill J. Cops had a chat with him. Not sure what was said but he never came back. Then the members of Jehovah's witnesses came to the house demanding to see & speak to J. By then my parents had had it. My mom is ex-military & has a lovely German temper & the mouth of biker. She went black out rage mode on those fools telling them what POS they & their so called religion are & to GTFO or they were going to meet the Lord then & there. My mom does not play. How the church allowed & encouraged abuse & lied to cover up said issues. The things that were done to J & his sister were disgusting,revolting & heartbreaking. Why the police didn't do anything is because of small town,good old boys mindset & the police where they live are useless AF. This was 20 yrs ago & J & his sister are doing well. Both needed therapy for quite a while & have gone on to live a good life. His dad died of a sudden heart attack many years ago & his mom is a well known,very popular child's book author. She pretends to the world to be the best,most awesome wholesome mom 2nd to June Cleaver & will deny any wrong doing. To this day I whole heartily despise the Jehovah's witnesses & their doctrine.

Last story: Jail is way too good for people like that. They should be made to sleep out in the cold like they tried to force their daughter to do so. I imagine if they get out of prison alive, they will end up doing so. Their kids have cut them out of their lives completely, and they've become pariahs in their town. They'd have to move far away in order to even hope to start a new life.

Last story: K is lucky that they only kicked her out and didn’t straight up unalive her. A few years I heard on the news that one guy was secretly gay but he kept it extremely secret because his parents were exactly like K’s only much more violent (they were known to start fights when drunk) anyway one day the guy said something innocent that let it slip that he was gay and then suddenly he disappeared, no one could reach him and when they actually confronted the parents they acted like he never existed. It wasn’t until a week later that the police found his body in a dumpster. Autopsy showed that he had been stabbed multiple times, they weren’t able to find the weapon but it was quite obvious that the parents were the cause of the death because everyone knew what bigoted and violent they were. The dad was the primary culprit because he was the most violent ( I heard that he was actually given the death penalty) the mom was charged as a co conspirator and given life in prison with no possibility of parole. The poor guy was only 16 when they did it to him. So K is extremely lucky to have survived because that could have taken a very dark turn very fast.

Poor girl. I know that feeling all too well. I was kicked out barefoot in a night dress at a freezing -8°Celsius (17°F) on my 16th birthday. Also by fanatically religious parents. Why? Because I stopped my mum from hitting me on my birthday. It still don't know how I survived that night.

By believing in yourself! (And not living in medieval europe) Our physical wellbeing is strongly connected to our mental well being and thus our believe. And thus humans have the mental capacity to kill themselves "simply" by actually believing it (psychogenic death) or to gain hysterical strength when believed to be neccessary. Many deaths are simply caused by "giving up", by believing you can't safe yourself, even if you could... including hypothermia related ones where people literally just do nothing and die. Psychogenic deaths also Voodoo Deaths are caused by the fear and/or the Nocebo effect, where the brain simply shuts the body down after being unable to comprehend potential survival. But the human body can do unbelievable things if you allow yourself to believe you can do it. Even pain and fatigue are technically just semi-illusions, and can be 100% mentally induced (phantom pain), even when your body is completly undamaged und still ready to work. Death by Hypothermia is a perfect example for this, because humans that kneel down and pray can die from hypothermia in 20+°C weather, while humans that keep moving, will unbroken can survive even negative degree Celsius for extended periods of time. In medieval europe only christians would die of hypothermia or drowning, because people that survived such events were burned for witchcraft, together with everyone else that displayed any kind of hysterical strength. According to the church any kind of hysterical strength is a sign of demonic possesion, but biologically it's your brain telling your body to do whatever the fuck is neccessary by flooding your system with adrenaline to get your muscles working at their actual limits and epinephrine to silence the illusion of pain and fatigue. God and his Followers want to quench your flame, they want to mentally break you and bow to "him", and thus to them, being his representatives. They'll always demand only the best from you. But Satan is the methaphorical fire that burns inside of you, and the voice inside your head, that tells you to believe in yourself! Because "he" simply wants what's best for you! The "devil", the biggest enemy of the church, is the will to survive on your own!

What really drives me crazy about that story with the parents is the idea that they probably think of themselves as martyrs for all their hardships. They're probably sitting in jail thinking that they are like John the Baptist or Paul the Apostle.

Okay but me, a 15y/o lesbian, is watching this video at night while it's snowing. So yeah that story was scary. Lucky for me my family is very accepting :). Still, my heart goes out to anyone who's struggiling from homophobia from family, friends or even strangers. Remember that you're strong and you can get trough this

Whoever's reading this, i pray that whatever you're going through gets better and whatever you're struggling with or worrying about is going to be fine and that everyone has a fantastic day! Amen

Story 2, is strange how the smallest of the things can change someone's life, if OP didn't give the prepaid phone to K I ask myself, wouldn't K be dead frozen or tortured by now?

The last story is heartbreaking. K was cursed with parents but blessed with friends.

Parents: You are no child of ours blah blah blah!!!!! K: "Peace was never, EVER an option."

Hearing that justice roll in on those "parents" was oh so satisfying

Huh. 80/20 client sounds like an interesting term. May I ask what it means?

@@kpopninja It's a reference to the common saying that 20% of the effort gets 80% of the work, or in this case 80% of the effort gets 20% of the sales.

I myself am a Christian and I can see clearly that these parents are not Christians they're people who have horrible ideals and use the mask of religion to cover them so they don't have to take responsibility for the fact that they are truly the ones tainted by the devil.

I had no problems at all with walking away from a contract job. There's no sense at all taking a deeply discounted job and not making a profit and working for a douchbag. If you're going to work your business you need to make money. Make money. Dump the Karen's that haggle you to death. Know your worth. Let your competitors work for nothing. If I find out they lie to me, I automatically dump them. When I was in contract sales, I instited on seeing the other estimate before I even think about a discount.

“Money isn’t important to a young person” really really do you have any idea Karen how expensive things are

The last story is a good example for why reproduction should be a privilege you have to earn and not just a right because you were born with the ability to.

Props to the Judge in that last story. Nope, K's gesture wasn't "contempt of court", it was "contempt of her disgusting parents" - and that was perfectly justified.

Last story. Such parents should get a permanent termination sentence by a judge, without a chance of getting the punished lowered.

Shoulda brought literally any woman to the sentencing, kissed her, and while holding her head, flipped off her parents. I can see it like a movie in my head.

The parents from the last story are what make Christians look bad. Do these people really not understand the whole "Vengeance is mine, sayeth the lord," line? They should've expected the payback for treating their daughter so horribly.

Jesus Christ, that friend who drove out to save that poor girl is a god damn saint. They definitely saved her life, in more ways than one.

That last story was nuclear revenge, and I love it.

The parents in the last story deserve even more extreme punishments.

When I was a home improvement contractor I called this the "Lt. Columbo Discount!" Finalize an estimate, get to the jobsite, and have the owner ask, "Just one more thing..." They almost never wanted to pay for extra services, parts, or labor...but thought, "Well, as long as you're here..."

I'm not one who likes revenge stories much, but the one about the parents who kicked out their child... that was VERY pleasant to hear. They deserved that and more

Ahhh good ol prorevenge! Just what I needed on this Friday! Thank you rSlash!

The hyperreligeous parents story. I imagine Kay doing the Kylo thing in The Last Jedi. "MORE! MOOORE! MOOOOORE!"

After 30+ years in the printing industry I learned early on that a respectful NO was always acceptable as Manager of a company and remaining a profitable business. I found that they returned about 60% of the time and accepted my quote.

To legally qualify for legal emancipation, a minor child must: Be at least 14 years of age; Have a plan for living arrangements following emancipation; Be living independently with their parents’/legal guardians’ consent. Consent can be obtained from a parent/guardian after the fact, as long as it is filed in court OR Have State or Federal Court Consent without Parent or Legal Guardian consent.

When i heard that last story i thought "and people wonder why some teenagers become crooks it’s because they have terrible parents!!"Nice to know that K was able to get them off her back.

Finally, a reddit channel that reads story based subreddits without playing a game with them placing text on it, I wish more of these channels show the post or whatever

The revenge on the last story was so satisfying!

You know, there are times when I tell myself that I would be an awful father. That I would lack patience, foresight and the willpower to invest in raising a child. That in all likelihood I’d probably only offer a subpar life for that child at best. Then I see stories like the last and realize ‘You know what? I’d at least get A for effort.’

The last one not only her parents should be sentence to prison but also need to get walk on shame that would be perfect punishment

I recently broke my leg and your videos are really helping thx

First Story: This Karen was really trying to lie her way into getting a service for cheap; only for her to get fired from her "big shot marketing job". The justice is so delicious Comment's Story: I can’t stand people like that. U want to give the person u hire for cleaning a hard time? Then have fun cleaning ur toilets urself. Agreed, sometimes u just need to get rid of a client Second Story: I can’t stand these kinds of religous psychos. People who use their religion to be horrible people and horrible parents deserve everything that comes their way. I would’ve laughed with that judge too when these two bozos tried to claim hate speach for K flipping them off. Let them rot in jail

The Karen with the paint estimate was just stringing him along, nickel and diming him at every step of the way. When you have time invested into a negotiation, your opposite member knows that you will be more likely to make additional concessions just to get the deal done. OP should have walked as soon as she bitched about his clothing.

There's actually a law in the Bible called Timothy 5:8. Basically the moment those toxic waist religious parents abandoned their daughter in the cold is the moment they willingly damned their own souls to the most horrible darkest pits of Hell.

Just a question to rSlash about the last story: why would K have had to go through puberty to know she was a lesbian? Many people have a general idea of what their romantic preferences are pretty early on in life.

For the last story, I say this: There's a special place in HELL for those parents!

Where they'll be forced to watch Dora The Explorer reruns on repeat for all eternity until they're reduced to gibbering and screaming wrecks? Or maybe forced to watch a visual guide on how to be a better parent/human being?

First story: When someone tells you "in that other place were cheaper than my ridiculous price." is BS. And anyone can see she's trying to scam OP from a mile away.

The last story reminded me of my own. My mother was incredibly abusive and locked me out of the house without a jacket, while it was in the single digits (Fahrenheit) in the dead of winter when I was 12. I almost froze to death, I had to break back into my house, after I spent an hour or so in a shed to "keep warm". The shed wasn't heated, and thank fuck I found a flat head screw driver to bust the door lock. This was a little over 12 years ago now, my mother has been dead for almost 7, and I am still healing from all of the trauma I went through from her, and my father.

What sucks about the last story is that, if the parents work like other fundamentalist and extreme religious groups and people, they won't learn their lesson. They're going to view everything that happened to them as evidence of them being persecuted, and unfortunately it'll probably only lead to them digging themselves deeper into their own ideology. I think their behavior during the events may show that that's probably what's going to happen. No, I'm not saying all religious people are like this, most aren't. Just the people who take it to extremist and fundamentalist levels such as the parents in the story.

Hahaa! I was just saying to myself: "what a pity, there is no new Rslash wideo yet." And just then you brighten my day!

Although it is inexcusable and heart breaking the horrible way, their daughter was treated, her story of revenge is one of the best I’ve ever heard. My only wish is that they would have to spend nights in the cold snow shoeless like they did to their daughter. Also, I am sadly guessing jail is nowhere near as bad as the torturous places they were going to send her to fix what was not broken. There is no way God approves of places like that. I wish the daughter the very best in life and I hope it is happiness for her here from here on out. I’m so glad that she has the support of her brother and good friends.

the last story reminded me of my wife, her family was seriously abusive and unsupportive towards her. her older sister called me a whore for getting pregnant even tho it was her sister who got me pregnant. i bought her food and a new phone and now we're married with our son. im happy her situation got much better.

I hope that everyone is having a good Friday!

Anyone else here want to give K a hug? Because I definitely want to give K a hug!

K’s story broke my heart. I’m so proud of the badass she became, but no child should ever have to endure that.

So, when the last story with those horrible parents, I think the reason why they were so furious that the OP tried to save K is because I my personal opinion think they enjoyed watching her freeze as a punishment of her saying hey I am not straight. Or I could’ve been other things but when they’re so furious that they’re practically demanding, you don’t help them they wanted her to die. I know it may sound far-fetched, but they probably wanted her to freeze and then when they saw her out they could’ve easily lied to the police but seeing that OP was smart enough to think clearly that didn’t happen, but I still have the feeling that they would’ve let K die and they would’ve thought nothing of using the other kids just like how they used K

That last story wasn’t pro revenge it was nuclear revenge. She destroyed her parents lives.

Exam season is hard enough, thank you for the videos!

I used to have a property maintenance business and when a potential client did what that lady in the first story did I declined the job. When they act like that I knew it would be a problem. People who do the type of work they do work very hard for their money.

For a religion that preaches tolerance and loving thy neighbor, there sure are a lot of people in it that are intolerant and hate not only their neighbors, but their own children. It's why I worship Sithis. He does not judge.

Last story Bravo for OP! I'm a non conformist Roman Catholic woman, and I can't stand these kind of two-faced parents (who obviously skimmed/ignored the verse Timothy 5:8). Also I know lovely/cool people I've met are from the LGTBQA+ community - One of the early staff at my Autistic support group is non-binary and I....😅 MIGHT have gotten them and their partner hooked on the Dark Crystal franchise after showing them the trailer to the Age of Resistance series.

Story 3, i bet the parents consider themselves "good Christians".

Honestly I never understood being a dick to domestic employees. In my country, cleaning ladies and maids are practically family. It's very common for people of middle class to hire help, and there's always awful people, but why would you treat somebody that has access to your house and all your secrets that poorly? That's just asking for trouble.

The painting story: NEVER give Karen's details like 'but then I'd only be making $5 an hour'. These details will never change their minds and they just use them against you in the discussion. They will either hire you or not and will likely try to cheat you anyway. (case in point 'you people are likely I'm willing to pay you $5 an hour'). Sufficient: These are my numbers, here is the breakdown, that is as low as I can go. If the other company is giving you a better deal then go with them. Also, this guy is rushing from one job to another so it's not like he is hurting for business.
