What Are The Most EPIC “F*CK YOU" Moments In History?

[@theunnameabledude3657]

While Mozart was working at an opera house, he often butted heads with the soprano singer. Now, she had a habit of lowering her chin for low notes and raising it for high ones. Ever the prankster, Mozart wrote an aria for her with many staging marks and massive musical leaps from low to high. The effect was the soprano seemingly running around the stage bobbing her head like a chicken.

[@B.V.Luminous]

One of my favorites.

[@monroerobbins7551]

Yeah, stories like that remind me how Mozart started his composing young, lol. He was a prankster, had moments of immaturity, the like.

When Suleiman I laid siege to Vienna, he made the claim that in one week he would be eating breakfast in the city’s cathedral. One week later and he still hadn’t conquered the city. The defenders sent him a letter: “Your breakfast is getting cold.” Suleiman was reportedly enraged and ordered one last all-out attack on the city which failed. So he abandoned the siege and went home.

[@thatonecubchoo1541]

No breakfast for him

At the first E3, SEGA announced the price of the Saturn as $399 after a huge presentation. For Sony's presentation, their spokesman walked on stage and simply said "$299". He left the stage with the whole crowd applauding.

One of many reasons Sonic ended up appearing in Nintendo games.

The Catabba Indian tribe was given a land grant by King John. Many years later it was purchased fraudulently by a company that built a huge sports arena there. The Catabba waited patiently for the construction to be done then came in to sue the company. The land grant was found to be valid and the tribe was the legal owner of that land and all that stood on it.

During World War One, the following exchange happened between the German Kaiser and the (neutral) Swiss Ambassador as he was visiting Berlin: Kaiser: What would Switzerland do if I invaded with 500,000 soldiers? Ambassador: Shoot twice and then go home. At the time, Switzerland had a grand total of 250,000 soldiers...

[@thatonecubchoo1541]

Considering the Swiss were often mercenaries in prior centuries, makes sense.

[@baliyae]

Caligula, while he was a bit screwed up due to the environment he lived in, was actually a genius in some ways. The bridge he built at Baie to race his horse across it and back was quite a feat of ingenuity.

[@naturewoolf2256]

Caligula was just one of the biggest flexers in history.

[@condorboss3339]

Yugoslav partizans fought the Germans throughout WW2. They would never have 'folded like a lawn chair' to Stalin.

[@Minnimoss]

4 of my family members fought in the partizans of Tito

[@mugsbugsly2975]

Getting to the point you’re fighting with partisans means your army prob folded like a lawnchair. It’s not a slight against Yugoslavia either. The Soviet Army was huge.

[@brettlarch8050]

Anne Boleyn, one of Henry the Viii’s wives who he had beheaded, her daughter became Elizabeth I of England and essentially was a better king than he was. Especially because he didn’t believe women could be rulers. Anne Boleyn got the last laugh.

[@thatonecubchoo1541]

"Accuse me of cheating and have me beheaded? My daughter will be a better ruler than you!"

Eh, for historical middle fingers; in 1988 during the war between Iran and Iraq Iran started attacking Iraq and Kuwait's tabkers in a bif to starve Iraq financially. The US reaponded by providing defense escorts. So iran seeded international waters with mines. One mine blew up and crippled a US guided missle boat, the US retaliated by destroying both of Iran's modern warships, destroying 3 oil platforms they were using for military bases, and accidentally taking out a few smaller ships and a fighter plane as unexpected bonus. All in 8 hours. Half their Navy lamed or destroyed in a work day for a mine blowing up one of our ships. The ship that hit the mine? USS Samuel B Roberts. They had ten wounded and no casualties and managed to limp back to Dubai, a year later it was back in service. So for taking a US ship out of service for a year Iran lost half it's navy.

[@andrewpatton5114]

Commander of the 101st Airborne Division when surrounded by the Wermacht and asked to surrender: "Nuts!" To this day, no member of the 101st has ever admitted they needed Patton's Third Army to rescue them.

[@nicholasmoore2590]

Napoleon. Surely you mean until the British turned up? Yes, there were other European forces under Wellesley at Waterloo, but the Prussian forces only arrived on the field towards the end of the battle. Their mere presence in the area, however, followed by their attack on Napoleon's right flank was a big part of the French collapse and defeat.

[@TellyKNetic]

The most epic single person in history that I know of is Simo Hayha, a Finnish sniper in WWII. He was known as "The White Death." He spent the war in the -20 degree forests of Finland killing any Russian soldier he saw. It's thought that his kill count was about 500 over the course of 100 days. He killed so many that the Russians started sending whole teams after this guy, but he just ended up killing them, too. Eventually, someone got a lucky shot on Hayha and shot him in the jaw. Despite having part of his face missing, Hayha recovered. A week later, he woke up, which was the day that the war ended.

[@WarDog793]

I wish some Finnish filmmaker would make a movie about Hayha. My friends and I really dug _Sisu_, which is fictional and cartoonishly over-the-top, but still fun as hell.

[@SH-qs7ee]

Someone very similar was Charles Upham, a New Zealander who is the only combat soldier to earn 2 Victoria Crosses. You have to read what he got up to in order to earn them, the guy makes Rambo look like Sgt Bilko. After the war he went home, became a farmer, and gave the money he was given for being a badass war hero to a scholarship fund to support the children of those who didn't return. And from the moment he got home to the day he retired from farming, forbid a single German manufactured machine onto his property.

[@Goodfood717]

I would love a grounded mini series on that pirate in the last story.

[@WarDog793]

I'd have also included the destruction of the Roman army (three legions, I think) by the German leader, Arminius, in the Battle of Teutoberg Forest in A.D.9 (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_the_Teutoburg_Forest)

[@ronaldfinkelstein6335]

My choice of badass moment, is General Anthony McAuliffe's response to the Germans when they asked the 101st Airborne Division, in Bastogne, to surrender. Mcaulliffe replied, "Nuts!"

[@crazyt1483]

They did have a 3 strike rule Strike 1: caravan Strike 2: killing interpreter Strike 3: struck off the map

[@charityquill4965]

The fact that khan was willing to let the first offense go at all is super surprising, I wouldn't want to poke an angry bear again if it didn't rip me to shreds after the first poke

[@John-iv2oz]

He should have included the commander of the US 101st saying "nuts" to the German offer to surrender and also the spartan comment about fighting in the shade against the Persian arm's blocking out the sun with their arrows. Both, great F you moments in History.

[@timgilbert3051]

My favorite spartan diplomacy moment is "If"

[@ladyariedian1029]

during a war between napoleon and russia, they came around winter with 25000 soldiers, the russians didnt do a thing in trying to fight them, they just waited cause the weather would fix it for them, and they were correct after a month of russian winter they turned back to france with only 250 soldiers left. and 60 of them died on the journey back home...

[@61089loki]

The russians actually merely retreated, laying waste to farms and supplies as they departed the area; The same thing they did 100 years later to Hitler's forces in World War 2. With no supplies to scavenge and restock with, the french army was forced to withdraw as supply lines became too long to sustain.

[@melaniemills4505]

How about the soccer players from Chile that were in a plane crash in the Andes Mountains who decided to save themselves after searchers gave them all up for dead...three of the players hiked thru the mountains in horrible weather and dangerous conditions till they found civilization and was able to save their fellow survivors. ❤

[@lairdcummings9092]

Berlin Airlift. Stalin says: "I'm starving West Berlin into submission and humiliating the West at the same time." The West: "Nah, bro. The airport is in our sector." 15 Months of middle-finger, hundreds of thousands of tons of freight delivered. Plus, the aircraft were dropping candy to the German children. Western news media was dunking on Stalin the whole time; the cartoons were epic.

[@metroidhunter965]

The entire story of Cassius Marcellus Clay. He was originally slated to be Lincoln’s veep, but was just too much of a main character/badass to play second fiddle. He was sent out to be the Russian Ambassador and, when the Civil War broke out, he intimidated Russia, Britain, France and Spain “don’t you _DARE_ recognize the Confederacy, or you’ll have *ME* to deal with” and Clay was no shrinking violet. Clay was also the lynchpin in getting Alaska bought from the Ruskies.

[@TheMoose126]

Damn, that bridge in Vulcan must’ve been some broke ass bridge in order for them to ask Big Red for help…

one of the best moments in history is henry 8th and elizabeth 1st. henry married 6 times wanting a son. a great monarchy. maybe the greatest england had ever seen. sadly his son dead very young and his oldest daughter well lets not say. his youngest daughter elizabeth proved that she could rule as good as a man the golden age. she was also the last monarchy of just england. now that is a big screw you to henry 8th. LOL

If that's not in the 36 Stratagems, it should be: "When facing a numerically superior force, hold yourself up in a narrow pass where the enemy is forced to fight on equal terms."

2:21 here’s a fun fact about the Mongolian culture at the time; women were a strong part of the military presence. They acted as soldiers, rose warhorses, got honors in the same league as the men, the like. Women were respected, and if you disrespected someone’s wife, or their mother, that someone would DECK you. Obviously it wasn’t perfect, but there was more equity compared to European cultures at the time.

I would like to remind you that in the story of Vulcan the Soviet Union offered financing of the equivalent of around 523,000 US dollars. They were already spending so much money just to show America the middle finger. America couldn't let that go and then doubled the amount
