| 0:00.0 | An entitled old jerk steal stuff out of my trunk, all as some kind of weird life lesson about how some criminal could steal out of my car when I'm not looking, and I'm honestly so exhausted dealing with my nosy, entitled neighbors that I really hope I don't deal with them ever again. Here's what happened. Okay, to start things out, we got a new fridge yesterday, and it's one of those humongous double-door monstrosities, and of course, |
| 0:21.5 | it came with a humongous amount of styrofoam and cardboard, all of which that I need to get rid of it. And the quickest way for me to get rid of it is shoving it in my car and driving it over to the Municipal Waste Depot. So I started cutting things apart and bringing them to my car, which is parked in my driveway. Unfortunately, it's so much trash that I have to go five times to my car. I go on the first trip, open my car's trunk, and I load it up. And for the sake of convenience, I leave the trunk open. Yes, it's right next to the sidewalk, but I live in a pretty safe area, and I'm only loading trash. So if anyone wants to help themselves to styrofoam, then sure, |
| 0:55.2 | why not? Go for it. I go back inside and bring the next two loads out and into my car, |
| 0:59.6 | and on my third trip, some old entitled jerk stands next to my car. Now, I don't know him and |
| 1:04.9 | he probably doesn't know me, but he's in my driveway and right next to my car. So seemingly, |
| 1:09.8 | he's interested in talking to the owner of said car, which is unfortunately me. The next time I approach my car with both my hands full of styrofoam, I say out loud, excuse me, and then I shove it into my trunk. This old entitled guy then starts asking me if this is my car, but after I tell him that it is, he then immediately launches into a tirade about how I must be crazy |
| 1:29.0 | leaving it open and whether I want to invite criminals into the neighborhood and how irresponsible I am. |
| 1:34.1 | I respond by saying, I don't care about your opinion and I need you to get off my property. |
| 1:38.3 | And I yell this at him and I honestly just don't even wait for him to reply, but instead stormed back |
| 1:43.1 | inside to get the last bits of plastic wrap. For the last time, I get back to my car, and this old entitled jerk is thankfully missing, but also so is a big piece of styrofoam from my trunk. And this was the base plate that the fridge stood on, which is basically the largest and most unwieldy piece of them all. Now, I was asking myself, did this old entitled jerk take it? I look around for a while thinking that he might have thrown it somewhere, but no, it's definitely gone. Well, my partner and I shrug, we get into the car and drive to the depot. On our way back from there, my wife and I go for lunch and shop some groceries. And all in all, we were gone for almost two hours. But the moment we come |
| 2:18.2 | home and step out of my car, this old entitled jerk storms across the street with a missing |
| 2:22.9 | styrofoam piece in hand, and he is visibly angry at me for some reason. He then immediately |
| 2:28.0 | tries to go off at me by ranting about how he's now taught me a lesson about keeping my car |
| 2:32.6 | locked, and that I should be lucky that it was only him and not some actual criminal, and that I'm getting my property back. Well, once again, I tell him to leave my property, and also that I will call the police if I ever see him on here ever again. He says he's happy to never talk to me again once I take back what is mine, but I reply that I'm not taking that piece back, and I suggest he stick it right up his rear end. And at this point, he says the dumbest thing I've ever heard in my life. He threatens to call the police on me for not taking the styrofoam back that he stole out of my car. So I put my hands on my hips, and I tell him I would gladly tell the police about how I just had some stuff stolen from my car |
| 3:08.3 | and that the perpetrator was right here. Well, he huffs and puffs and then throws the styrofoam |
| 3:13.2 | to my feet and stomps off like a little toddler. And honestly, I'm so sick of my neighbor and I |
| 3:18.1 | really hope I never deal with him ever again. Wow, this idiot is completely out of line. First of all, |
| 3:23.4 | it is just styrofoam that he took out of your car, and I think you have the right idea of basically saying, yeah, whatever, if someone steals it fine, I don't give a crap. But for this guy to walk on your property, lecture you about putting stuff in your car, and then steal from you to try and teach you a lesson, all while complaining that there are criminals in the area, is honestly the stupidest thing I've ever seen. This guy literally is the criminal in this scenario. He's complaining about himself in a way that's just so weird. So honestly, I kind of wish that you did call the police on this guy, because you literally have evidence right in front of you. And seriously, what is with this guy being like, oh, you got taught a lesson today? Look at you. It's like, dude, you're not teaching someone a lesson. I don't know you. You literally stole stuff out of my car, regardless of what it is under the guys that a criminal could do this, but you are the criminal in this scenario. It's honestly so stupid and I just can't stand people like this, where they have this weird sense of like, oh, I'm so much better |
| 4:14.2 | than you and I'm so much wiser than you. So yeah, this guy was completely out of line and hopefully you don't have to deal with him ever again.

| 4:32.5 | Am I the jerk for not paying my parents' mortgage after my sister moved into their house, despite the fact that my parents said they wanted to sell that house and give me a larger portion of the sale, because right now they're saying I'm betraying the family, and at this point I don't know what to do. Here's what happened. For the past |
| 4:47.7 | eight years, I've been paying my parents' property taxes and mortgage. They are retired and have very |
| 4:52.9 | little retirement savings because they put all their money into my sister and I's education. |
