You mentioned the 3rd story being satisfying, but I'll tell you. The first one with Liam hitting the disrespectful little shlt was extremely satisfying.

[@tastx3142]

I have been harassed and my vehicles and property vandalized for over 20 years and recently threatened while on my driveway unloading groceries. It stemmed from one family who has spread lies about me. Those who knew me before that family knew what was going on but don’t want to be targeted the same way. One man and his partner had moved in a few doors down and I was friendly and chatted as I was working outside, even loaning them my books about native landscaping for our area. After the bullies moved in, they began doing things to my property as well and I mentioned that we have security cameras. His partner began following me filming me with his cellphone when I was outside taunting me. I ignored him but finally confronted his partner who had begun to ignore my hello’s and asked if I had done something wrong. He basically told me that I was a horrible person, obviously believing the lies. One elderly neighbor was selling their house but needed some repair work on their deck for structural support. My husband and I have helped them spending many hours as they have always been friends. We were finishing up a few days ago and the man walked in the backyard and my husband didn’t recognize him as I was married 7 years ago and he had never spoken to this man. The man ignored me and complimented my husband on the work who told the man that my engineering was the reason that the deck was now structurally sound. Then he complimented the paint job, which I had done touch up after my husband had caulked. We both ignored him. The man then said that his deck is having the same issues and needs work and without missing a beat my husband told him that was unfortunate and didn’t say another word. The man still hadn’t acknowledged my presence or effort and my husband realized the disrespect and normally would have offered to look at it as we have helped other neighbors. I told my husband that was great as we only help friends. The man is going to easily spend $20,000 based on others in our neighborhood that have spent. We’ve given up many weekends but the satisfaction alone to see Karma hit the man was worth every painful moment of work as the realization hit him that actions can have consequences. It might be years but that only makes the satisfaction better.

A few weeks ago my dad needed my help moving some furniture for my sister…to break the silence in his truck, I plugged in my phone & I played the one about Clint Eastwood when he was in the military. My dad grumbled a bit at first, not wanting to listen to any story…because apparently he prefers awkward silence…but a couple minutes in he was absolutely hooked. I was like “I can turn it off, dad…..” and he freaked out. He HAD to know who this guy was, and what happened after the plane crash….I’ve subsequently played him every Mr. Ballen video & he LOVES them. It opened the door to podcasts, and I’m now proud to say that my dad, who is still a grumpy old man who hates everyone & everything, tolerates podcasts about other old men…….and Mr. Ballen. It feels like a solid win.
