story 1: I feel bad for the pregnant girl. It sounded like she was having a hard time looking for a flexible job, and once she found one, it was a pyramid scheme.

[@syrsknight]

If your talking about the pregnant woman that wasn't sarah... Sarah was the assistant...i could be wrong but i dont think so...

[@samuilzaychev9636]

@@syrsknight Oh yeah thank you! I have to go see the story again and edit my comment.

[@hyperhannah5741]

I think I actually encountered this scheme in particular before. When I was in high school, I got a letter about it suggesting the job, and my dad thought it was weird, so I didn’t apply

[@lacyciccarelli393]

This seems to be pretty common. Pregnant women tend to have a hard time finding a flexible job, which the pyramid schemes know and will use that to convince this group of people.

[@Lane8492]

Impressive with how you put this con artist out of business because these scam artists need to be stopped and face jail time for fraud.

Story 2: The cousin was being a total manchild. While he does raise a good point that there shouldn’t be preschool graduations, he was too much of a jerk about it. Also, the family should be ashamed of him since he was picking arguments with little kids who aren’t even halfway to double digits. The aunt and uncle’s reaction how the OP handled the situation show that their son’s terrible personality is genetic. Story 3: The friend is being very selfish to the OP. Did the friend want to be a third wheel?

[@viviennemorgan7217]

yeah he's such a manchild and bullied kids for no reason.

[@frankiemoses9213]

I think preschool graduations are a great idea. It's giving the kids a sense of accomplishment early on so they don't have to wait 12 years for it. Kids like "instant" gratification and feeling like they did a good job. They don't (edited) understand grades yet, so reassuring them that they're doing a great job is fantastic.

[@darkwarriormaster9644]

@@frankiemoses9213 We don’t need a ceremony for everything. And that’s coming from someone who was in the military, where, believe me, there is a lot of ceremony. At the very least, militaries have the excuse of needing to maintain discipline. What’s the excuse here?

[@frankiemoses9213]

@darkwarriormaster9644 I was also in the military. But this is something fun for the kids. It's celebrating the kids. The first year of school is completely different than what little ones are used to and a big step to growing up. And if I get a day to celebrate my child, I'm taking it.

[@bombdotcom2168]

To be honest regardless of if a guest is a guy wearing a dress or a woman wearing a suit I'd just be upset about disregard for the color code.

[@horrormoviefan9395]

Story 1, the only ones I feel sorry for are the people who almost got suckered into the scam. Story 2, not a jerk, not in the slightest. Yeah a preschool graduation can be pretty useless, I didn't have one and as far as I know neither did any of my friends, we really don't care about small stuff like that, the cousin was way out of line and his patents were just as dumb. Who bullies 4-year-old kids? Story 3, I don't care what people say, if someone is on an obvious date, DO NOT invite yourself in like that. Story 4, if there is proof of cheating, leave his ass. Story 5. No, that guy tried to ruin the wedding just because...I'm guessing for shits and giggles and that's just not okay.

[@mekaileturner3586]

Story 1 is totally legit because this same company did the same thing to me when I was a senior in high school (they typically go after high school seniors.) They wanted me to come in the night of my graduation for another meeting!!! When I told them this they asked me the dumbest question EVER! “Can't you reschedule?” Yeah. These MLM folks are a special kind of breed.

[@cstcustomdesigns]

Me too! The company was Vector or something close to that. I went and was like this sounds shiesty and dangerous. Children/anyone selling knives door to door to people! Craziness. And who's buying this ish!? I left early because I'm 5'1 and 97lbs, I wasn't about to show up to people's doors handing them the weapons they could use to kill me. 🤣

[@Tontteman]

Story 4: why did that Jane contact op?, does she care about op or does she care about if op's boyfriend cheated her. I don't think so, something smells funny. Maybe she wants op's boyfriend for herself. She is saying that they slept together and you don't generally sleep with people who you don't want to be with. Maybe he did or maybe he didn't, but i wouldn't allow a some stranger to make decision for future of my relationship. And i would definitely not trust her.

[@skylerlightning4620]

She sent screen shot of text but that could been before they were dating as well as they may have dated in past and broken up. Why would she even remember this or even have picture of them in bed together. It quite clear this lady that sent text and pictures have Weird obsession for this man if she willing take picture of them in bed together.

[@Tontteman]

@@skylerlightning4620 Yes, normally when people find out that person who they just slept with is in a relationship, they simply back off. They don't want to get involved with other peoples problems.

[@atlasbread]

​@@TonttemanAnyonee with a conscious would want to let the spouse know that their partner cheated. Why is that such a weird situation for you to imagine? Not everything is about being jealous or even caring about someone, but if you know someone cheated you should tell their spouse out of respect for them as a person.

[@Tontteman]

@@atlasbread No, it's not about that. People just don't do that, people don't go and find out with who their sleeping partner is in relationship, after they have done the actual deed. That would make them the "other woman/man", most people don't want to be that, they don't want to be the reason why somebody's marriage/relationship ended. That doesn't happen even between friend, naturally because friends already know if someone is in a relationship and they don't sleep with their friends partners. And if they do, they are not a friend, they are something else and you can't never trust a person like that. That person can also lie, that person might have their own agenda.

[@atlasbread]

@@Tontteman The reason she did that was because she saw the post the OP was engaged with her ex. Even if you don't want to be "the other person" it doesn't change that you are and again, anyone with a conscious would inform the partner that their spouse potentially cheated. There doesn't have to be some "hidden agenda" for her to try to be a good a person, the OP even stated that unless you were friends or family it was unlikely that someone would know OP and her fiancee were dating, and I doubt the fiancee would just straight up tell the person he's wanting to fuck that hes in a relationship.

[@arnavmunjal7919]

Hii love your podcast😊😊

[@elainebsfr]

Kinda feel bad for the pregnant lady in the first story honestly, Even tho she was just a minor character in the story i gotta admit thats down right upsetting. She thought she finally found a job that would be easy for her to do and get around her pregnancy issues but it was just a scam.

[@QuickManEXE]

Agreed. She's really the only person i feel bad for in that case.

[@michellecoleman5577]

3rd story: Maybe snapping in anger isn't the best way to get your point across but immediately hanging up just makes the friend look hella guilty. Truth hurts, and it is definitely gross the way the friend is comparing OP to their 'other gay friend'. Who would probably also have a problem with that weirdo inserting themselves into his ACTUAL dates too. SOUNDS a lot like the friend secretly doesn't regard these people's dates as legitament because they're not straight. But then, I've become very jaded lately, living as an LGBTQ+ person in the southern US.

[@JamesDavy2009]

[@gotenblack2542]

story 2 you got to look at yourself when 4 year olds are more mature then you then cousin is a full gown adult but guess not everyone knows how to act right

[@michellecoleman5577]

story 1: OP is awesome and the only people I feel bad for are the gullible ones buying into it in the beginning. But hopefully, this experience will teach them to be more wary before they all get deep into debt with some shadey crap they can't get out of.

[@dogofwar6769]

Story 2: wait, they have 'preschool graduation'? Why? Who even remembers when they're 4? I mean, the jerk in that story is indeed a jerk. But that entire situation is just weird.

Kids need to be congratulated for things, even minor things. It boosts their self esteem and makes them proud and happy. Even if you think it’s silly, to the kids it means the world. :)

[@JamesDavy2009]

[@gigglesgaming131]

Story 1 is about cutco knives. I don't know if anyone here remember this whole thing. But it was back when door to door salesman were a thing. They target younger adults if not older teenagers. The product wasn't actually that bad. But the scheme was and now it's kinda known to be a scam company. But I back when it wasn't as known. I made decent money off of it. Now everyone and their dog has either had or still has some sort of cutco product.

[@CrystalKStearns]

So about pyramid schemes. I got invited to join one several years ago called Primerica. I got a call on my work phone saying I would be perfect for their management team. Being a lowly paid government worker, I was interested. I went to the informational meeting where the first thing they had us do was fill out an application and a list of work references. They started out with all this doom and gloom about the world and then went into how we can help people by selling them insurance policies. I was suspicious and as soon as they put up a diagram of upside down pyramid I knew what was happening. I went to leave and they asked where I was going. I called them out but as with most of these they had several plants in the room saying I was wrong and how wonderful the company was. I called them on their BS. I demanded to have my application and list of references back. Turns out what they were doing was they would get some names to call from when you put your business card in to win a free lunch. Sad to say those are often sold to telemarketers. And other people they called were from those references we gave. One big scheme. I later found out they had called several of my coworkers at my government agency which is a big no no. A misdemeanor at the minimum.

[@QuickManEXE]

Story 1: A good case of "If its too good to be true, it generally is". If it were me, the moment I saw it was a pyramid scheme, i would've just walked out, and definitely would've left the moment he gets introduced by a different name. Honestly, i'm surprised these kinds of things are still around. I feel a little bad for the pregnany woman that was hoping for an easy home job, but i dont really feel bad for anyone else, and i certainly dont feel bad for John, Jacob... whatever he wants to call himself. He deserved to loss out on all that money, because im pretty sure he would've cost all those people lots of money if they had started "working" for him. Looks like hes going to lose more to legal issues with the rental company, and the nasty email he sent the OP. Moron. Story 2: OP is 100% not the jerk here. The cousin is a super jerk here. So you didnt get a pre-school graduation... big whoop! He probably didnt get one because he didnt even graduate pre-school. The cousin is a complete idiot and a major bully. Those kids are around 4-5 years old, hope he feels proud of himself. Also, the extended family are big jerks too. Just because he is family does not mean the OP (or anyone else) needs to be on his side. Story 3: OP isnt a jerk here, the other friends are. If someone is on a date with somebody, that should've been your cue to politely leave. I get that your friend didnt realize that it was a date at first, but once she did, she shouldve left, and using the excuse of 'my other gay friends let me join' is really stupid. Just because they might, doesnt mean anyone else has to. Also, this whole situation is no one else's business, so the other friend has absolutely no right to call the OP and complain. If i were the OP, id cut off the people that are not understanding and not on your side. Story 4: If he cheated, especially that early in a relationship, you should leave him. Period! Story 5: Something tells me the BIL did this on purpose to cause some kind of a scene, not because he actually wanted to go in a dress or not. OP isnt a jerk here. Perhaps a little extra clarification on the colours allowed might've been needed, but the OP was right to be upset here.

[@JamesDavy2009]

Story 2: To quote a phrase in its entirety, "The blood of the covenant is thicker than the water of the womb." Story 5: I'm kind of with you in that the BIL was being malicious and his family was foolish enough to take his side. Had the BIL wore a dress in the correct colours there would not have been an issue, but the asshat decided to go with electric pink-a colour bold enough to scream "look at me".

[@joshuaward692]

If the first place is Cutco I know 3 different guys that did it successfully. 1 still does it and owns 2 houses before 30 years old. He makes large deals with big kitchens in the city. The other 2 decided to pursue different careers but enjoyed working for Cutco.

[@Crypto-Legend]

I also worked for Cutco through Vector and I can confirm it's a pyramid scheme. Stay far away from all of these places. Good knives, bad business and business practices. If they were so good, they wouldn't need a pyramid scheme.

[@orelliaorellia142]

That's the point of pyramid scheme, those who arrive early get successful because they are surfing on the new workers money. So for each guy who was successful with this company, there is dozen who lost their savings and finished on the street.

learning to read is actually a good achievement, it’s the starting of a higher learning, and on top of that it’s difficult to teach a child how to read. how are you gonna be 35 bullying CHILDREN?

[@csargent31]

Story 2: Okay... if a family member is going to be an embarrassment to your family at a celebration meant for graduating preschoolers and act more childish than them, d**n right I would reign them in. Teens in inner cities have been neglected by the school system to be illiterate (lack the ability to read and write), so the fact that preschoolers can read is more significant than what the supposed grown man in his thirties thinks.

[@TDub-ox7wu]

Story 1: I had a weird experience like this with an employment agency. I didnt find it easily, which was the first red flag. I walked in in a suit, expecting an interview, then got sat at a pc and told to take a test. "Weird, but fine, maybe its a screening process" I thought. Then there was a second test, asking for my SSN. So I asked "Hey, are you guaranteeing me that I'll be getting employed? Cause I know you don't need this info until you're hiring me". I was told it was "standard procedure in this state", so instead i walked out right then. To anyone reading this, GO WITH YOUR GUT. If you feel sketched out walking into someplace, be alert, and if they press for identifying information then its probably a situation you should run from.
