I didn't show 3x for speeding, so I had a warrant & my bond was $25,000 SECURED, so that means I had to have it all to get out.

As soon as someone opened a box they found under the table the roaches had been sprung free. Never did get in trouble for it (I worked in the back, roaches were in the dining area.)

There really needs to be a process put in place when someone wipes out a joint account without the other party’s permission. Revenge was great but losing 5k??? That is such bs

[@kathyjoy5618]

Joint accounts are very tricky because in signing up for it, you authorise each other to access the money and if somebody does something the other person doesn't want it becomes a civil matter. The problem is civil matters are sticky, and even if OP did manage to prove the £5k was hers, and did get the court to agree to make him pay it back, there are still ways for the ex to screw her out of payment (like becoming unemployed or low paying jobs can exempt you from paying back such things).

Those who broke the lockdown rules took the fucking piss. What's even worse is that the police were very selective which people they enforced the rules on. If you are a tory darling, you got off scott-free. If you were anyone else, big fine for you. We had this in our town in December 2020. The police showed up at a bar which was holding a lock-in on Christmas eve for the town council. NOT ONE OF THE COUNCILLORS GOT FINED. The landlord who was tbe tory mayor of the town lost his mayorship, but no fine. And the pub chain that owned the bar fired him. All the bar staff however were fined heavily. And the local tory-supporters were fine with this.

I think you mean if you're Tory, you're punished. If the police commissioner is mates with Sir Kier Starmer, he give you a pass.

The first story sounds like a real-life episode of the British series "Can't Pay? We'll Take it Away!".

I am not an health care worker but i was still in the streets during covid. things got so bad in my country that we were more than shortstaffed and i happened to work weeks without a single day of rest. Lets just say that people that broke quarantine rules never had my sympathy.

If you're running an underground bar for college kid law students, 300 euro tickets is so little of a slap on the wrist that it's basically just the cost of doing business.

[@DesmoChoJo]

It finally happened. I listen to Rslash religiously but i also listen to Mr Redder often. This is the first time I’ve found an Rslash video where I’ve heard all of the stories before

[@strikeforce1500]

2nd story: Nah, their crocodile tears aren't regret, they are mad because they face consequences.

[@russs7574]

Probably for the first time in their lives.

[@Xokoy]

I like that you actually took the time to double check the currency on the first story. I appreciate that since a lot of (mostly American) people (not just on KZbin) just see money involved and assume dollars. One small little thing, 1/100th of a pound in the UK is a penny, or pence for plural, not cents, so it was "eight pounds and fifty pence" :)

I read NBC news as “Karen News” lmao

[@MrJuzam]

Lol! Story 2: Vloeken en ventileren is Dutch. It means cursing and getting stuff off your chest. The pronunciation of Rslash was funny!

[@akl2k7]

It doesn't help that we Americans have no idea how to pronounce Dutch.

[@peanutbutter7357]

During covid in Melbourne I think we were all over people narking one another and had dinners/bbqs over each others fence lines. I had some beers with the neighbors and the kids would play throwing/kicking a ball over, just abit of normal for them all

I will never get a joint account with anyone. Idc how strong our love and trust is, I'm not risking it.

When I was in a shitty spot I started renting a literal storage closet with no windows and basically just enough room for a bed. The people in the room above me would come home in the middle of the night and blast music. After a couple weeks I asked them very nicely in the house group chat to be a bit more courteous. The second night I did one of the girls started getting all drunk macho saying she was going to go down stairs to kick my ass. I took my bat went upstairs and told her to come get it. She backed down until I moved out a couple days later

[@joshlithuania508]

disclaimer: intense situation I woke up today at 6:17AM to a loud bang on my door. Two guys saying someone sent them to my place to collect their money. Mind you I'm a hermit I don't owe anyone money. After they couldn't get into my place they stood next to my gf's vehicle before stabbing both her driver tires before leaving just before the cops showed. TLDR: NEVER open your door at odd hours or for anyone you don't know. Who knows what those two would have actually done if they got in.

We had some Mexicans have multiple parties every week with a bunch of people that didn't live there while California was on lockdown and it was forbidden to due so. And they had their loud speakers aimed right at my bedroom window and turned up loud enough to rattle stuff in the livingroom. We had called the police because they would go till 1 and 2 in the morning like this. They continued having all these parties until the police served a search warrant at a house down the street and these idiots started to party. It was so loud that the cops had to stop trying to find whatever they were looking for and tell my neighbors to shut it down or they would each be getting multiple tickets. Apparently the music was loud enough that 5 houses away it was rattling stuff where they were at. Don't know if it was that loud but I do know it was very loud that night.

[@dragonesseather]

Just so you know: £8.50 is eight pounds, which you got right, and fifty pence, rather than cents. 🙂👍

[@SoldierSpiderx]

the last story, the fact OP already call the dean of the girl and they got warning and fine but noo, they decide to move next door and just party there more and OP call press and the girls vice-rector who shut that shit down and if OP and the neightbor didn't put a good word with the girls, I positive that the girl would got worse

[@adamb89]

A friend of mine was a debt collector, and shared a few tips with me during his time with that agency. When debt collectors take people to court, it's not a 1:1 deal unless it's a huge account. The agency will amass a shitload of cases and send their lawyer as the plaintiff for all of them in a single day. Basically what usually happens is the lawyer shows up with a folder full of debt info, and if people want to contest the debt all they have to do is show up. Generally, a defense of "I don't owe that money" is sufficient, because the lawyer acting as plaintiff usually doesn't have all of the nitty gritty details for every single one of the maybe hundred debts they're there to get a judgement for. They rely on deadbeats being deadbeats and not showing up, which like 95% of the time is exactly what happens. So if you want to get your debt erased, don't pay the agency, make them take you to court, then show up and say "I don't owe any money." It's on the agency to prove you do, and they probably won't have enough information on hand to do so. For example say you have a $1000 medical bill that you never pay. Eventually the clinic sells the debt to a collection agency for say $500, because at least that way they get SOME money. The agency then tries to collect on the full $1000. But if after a while they can't, they might either add it to their lawyer's folder to try and get a judgement for, or they'll re-sell the debt to minimize their loss. Like sell it for $300 to ANOTHER agency, again just so they aren't losing everything. That same debt might change hands a dozen times until eventually some guy is selling your debt to another guy for $5 in the hopes that maybe, MAYBE, they can collect the full $1000. Especially in the case of medical debt, they will find it VERY hard to prove you owe anything, because they don't have access to your medical records. Only a dollar amount. All you have to do is assert that you don't owe that money, and because burden of proof is on the plaintiff, you're pretty much home free. If all they had to do was go "But see, here's a bill..." then I could write them a bill for anything I wanted and claim they owe me. So yeah. If you really want to get out of a debt, don't pay it, then go to court and deny you owe anything. Burden of proof is on them. "I don't owe them any money, I have no record of any of this." If the agency's lawyer doesn't either, guess what? You don't owe them any money.

[@garfeld625]

Honestly, I hate to think this but the last op went too easy on the partiers at every step. After the second apology followed by a party, it's clear they wouldn't listen and were being fake. And their actions could have potentially killed people through op, they needed more punishment. I bet they will still do bad things like this in the future because they saw, they can basically get away with it. They even seemed excited to be on the news!

[@CEAggregation]

I agree. In my country for breaking covid rules there were much higher fines and a possibility of prison for repeating offenders

[@BeanManolo]

First story: don't know if it's the same in UK as is here in Brazil, but here a statute barred debt isn't like OP described. Here the limit isn't for creditors to collect the debt, but to get any type of legal action to receive the debt. And even after this limit they can still keep charging for the debt, they just are limited to a administrative charge; So yeah OP's ex-boyfriend here would be massively screwed.

[@Xiaolaoshu621]

Those college kids should have had a stiffer penalty. OP is a bit of doormat for feeling bad. These idiots were already wholly inconsiderate to his health and well-being because of sleep deprivation. Add to defying public safety measures...

[@Rylosalex]

I like the way the tone of R/Slash voice changes when he talks about the revenge

[@ruthgatchalian650]

Students partying and breaking covid rules was bad. But what happened here in the UK is way worst, the Conservative government, who is the ruling party here in the UK had a held a party in the middle on the pandemic at the prime minister's resident in 10 Downing St, breaking their own covid rules and restrictions. Meanwhile, they arresting and giving fines to ordinary people that's breaks covid restrictions, people dying alone, families unable to visit their dying or sick relatives and families unable to grief together. Our very own Queen Elizabeth sat alone in church during her husband's funeral. Conservative PM and MP's are such a bunch of tossers.

[@khatdubell]

Like the other side wouldn't have done the same. Its not about party, its about class. You're trash, they're elite. The same thing happened here in america. The ruling elites don't make the rules for themselves. They make the rules for _us_.

[@thefrogmonarch4404]

8 pounds and 50 cents is the funniest phrase i've ever heard ngl

[@kevlarburrito6693]

Morale of the first story: NEVER, EVER, FOR ANYONE, get a joint bank account.

[@MsTemptation]

S1: I’m glad that op got her revenge but maybe don’t get a joint account with your boyfriend or anyone else for that matter. Always keep your finances separate for your own peace of mind. Plus stop wasting time hoping that the person who has shown you their true self will go back to their gaslighting self. Be happy that the mask came off instead of wanting to stuff the genie back into the bottle. It makes you look desperate and foolish.

[@nathalieolsson6972]

To everyone who applaud the first story.. 3:30, I totally agree that it's a good story regardless.. but SHE ADMITTED TO HELPING HIM DODGE HIS DEBT.. She clearly knew he was a dodgy character and still decided to be with him.. WTF PEOPLE!

[@Yos115]

Unfortunately I was like the people in story two. They were probably doing drugs and therefore the police probably should have entered the house It was not COVID times when we were partying though. We were just obnoxiously loud. What they did was not acceptable.

[@monsterhun1]

kind of sucks that girls who sound like where the main people doing the parties got a lighter sentence.

[@wta1518]

For anyone wondering, £8.50 GBP is roughly equal to $9.70 USD or €9.85 EUR

[@saur2244]

Story 2. At the end of the Story when there punishment was handed out if I where op I would demanding there removal from the school and the building. Because after all the times the cops where called and they had a face to face meeting they still went back to parties. They clearly showed no respect for anyone and an unwillingness to learn. A good middle ground would be she find a new room to rent and pass the toxic problems to other people and call the news people that the main cause for the party's in ops building is gone. Calling them dumb kid's is just giving them a chance to pass blame for their actions away from them and on something else. They knew full well what they where doing and having fun doing it. They got off way to light and the news people should have highlighted the cops and school not doing anything until it hit the news.

[@MineCrafterCity]

I feel like the girl from the party story is a bit entitled herself "i CaNt sEe my FaMILY sO yOu cAnT EiTheR". Yeah i understand noise can make you go completely insane, but the whole quarantining was quite crazy and unnessecary.

[@TheNin-Jedi]

Last story is lucky I wasn’t their neighbor. I would have snuck in and spiked the punch and then made sure the cops were there to see the after math. Of course I’d have to keep this revenge a secret for legal reasons but seeing these kids trying to explain to the cops how they didn’t do it would have been glorious.

It's not the size of the payment that matters. It's how screwed it makes the ex that truly means the most

[@JasperCatProductions]

Your a healthcare worker so you know how bad it is, your neighbor is having a party during lockdown…..you don’t report it? Why? You want everyone to catch it? Absolutely ridiculous. During normal times I get it be cool give ‘em a chance. You work with vulnerable people and let this go on….find a different job.
