Saw my former bullies working at McDonald’s months after HS. They mocked me in front of everyone & got their asses fired! Later saw one of them at another restaurant & she kept her head down. 😊
@@RodWaffle That doesn't make any sense. You clearly don't even know what it means and yet you're mocking someone for it (objectively incorrectly). You need to pull your head out of your own ass.
Age 12-16 I had my own personal bully, he was best friends with everybody else but persecuted me, called me names, tried to steal my schoolbag off my back, ran a hate campaign against me, one time I had a date lined up and he talked her into cancelling. Dumb kid stuff and a lot of pushing and shoving, but made my life hell every day for 4-5 years and wasn't just a bully to everyone, it was targeted solely at me. We left school in 1999 and I was at university 2001-06. Couple years after graduation I remembered him and wondered if he was still being hero-worshipped by everyone, searched his name and found an obituary. He died of natural causes (brain tumour, I think) early 2008. Last week was the 15th anniversary of that and the more time passes, the more striking it is to think that there are no new photos of him, no new stories to tell, no chance/risk of seeing him anytime I go home to visit. I'll be 40 this summer and I'm still a work in progress, I'm definitely a much better person than I was at 25, but I'll admit I'm glad I'll never run into him, it's hard to describe the relief I felt when I first saw that he was dead.
I met a high school bully some years later, he remembered who I was and I reminded him that he wasn't kind to me during that time frame. First thing he did was apologize to me for how he treated me. We then ended up talking, shooting the shit and becoming friends. He expressed genuine remorse about it. Find out he is a genuine animal lover and that's how we bonded over our mutual love of cats. While it's been a while since I talked to him, I hope he's doing well these days.
It was in primary school, me and this other kid used to bully each other actually. Years later we reconnect and give each other tips on mental health and she even helped me find a therapist. I'm grateful to her.
I met my high school bully about 25 years after graduation. I was at the cemetery visiting my father's grave. Coming around the bend, I ran into him. His tombstone said that he had been dead for 13 years. I said a prayer for him. I often wonder if the roles were reversed, would he have prayed for me? Would he have felt remorse for his awful treatment of me, upon finding my grave? I'd like to think so, but probably not. He'd probably would have laughed instead.
Oh yeah success another person who was a bully in life deep in the ground the world doesn't need people like that and no he would not have done the same thing you did
Now we get to laugh at that bully hahahaha I'm going to go take a drink and go play Xbox while he gets eaten alive by maggots in his dark coffin in the ground
I have read many times about the best revenge on bully's is to live very well. And even better yet, forget all about them. If by some chance you happen to meet up, act like you don't know them in any way at all. They are a total stranger.
I saw our class bully at our 40th reunion. I actually felt sorry for him.. a little. He never amounted to much.I left the town where I grew up and went in the service for 4 years and never went back. I was one of the class dummies or so they thought. I was making over 3 times my age in my mid 20s working in electronics 10 years after I graduated. I graduated in 1971. It only got better after that. I also married a cute girl from our class and we are together at 70yo.
My bully was high school faculty. I was very sick and they literally called me a hypochondriac and teased me in front of the rest of the class if I made it to school several days in a row. I'm now a janitor at a university. My old high school had their winter concert in the building I clean. Their booking agreement was pro bono and the high school agreed to not serve food and they promised to clean up after. I checked on the area once they left , and it was TRASHED. There was cookies and cupcakes and frosting ground into the carpet both in the lobby, auditorium (absolutely no food in the auditorium allowed), and all the way down the the lower floor. All the lights left on and the stage setting was not put away. I took pictures before getting a colleague to help me clean up and left the full trash for the next day so the rest of the staff could see the evidence of what was served. The high school got in big trouble
Ran into my one of my school bullies about 6 months after graduation. He was already 3 months into college, and we ran into each other at the mall in late December. He struck up a casual conversation and apologized for the way he treated me in high school and realized that kind of attitude won't work in the real world.
This is probably to get lost in the hundreds of comments that are here but I'd like to share my experience. I'm from México. Things here somehow turns to be very different once you cross the border. When I was 14, I was a very, very feminine boy. I liked to dress as a girl when I was alone, I liked to play with dolls and that kind of stuff. I was bullied because of that but this guy came and started to talk with me when we had free time in school. He's handsome, protective and a kind person. One day, he finally told me that I should wait for him in a far-from-sight part of said school because he wanted to see me. I had the illusion that he would finally ask me if I wanted to be his boyfriend. Turns out he was waiting with other 5 guys that beat the crap out of me. The punches and kicks were so hard that I cough blood and they threatened me that if I say a word, they would kill me. The guy sold me to this bullies and for the next two weeks, they hit me anywhere anytime. After summer break and after a suicide attempt, I came back to school and returned the favor but not this guy. Years after, when I was 19 or 20, I saw him again. He remembers me and I saw him with two little girls. He told me that he was sorry for doing that to me and that his life was very, very sad. The girls weren't his because turns out, he was cheated and by that time he was divorced but treated the girls as his because love. I'm 25 years old today and I moved from my old town. The last thing I knew is that he killed himself in 2021 after doing drugs, an overdose. I feel bad for him. He died alone, rejected and between drugs. Rest in Peace, Aldo. For the record and as I told you, I forgive you.
Ran into one of my middle school bullies a couple years back and the guy had became a priest. He did not say he was sorry directly, just he was a ass back then. When I asked about him becoming a priest, he said, " it's my way of healing without using drugs, after going through two tours. One in Iraq and one in Afghanistan....I lost too many good friends over there". I didn't push him any further, just thank him for his service and wished him a better, more peaceful life.
The problem with bullies is that sooner or later they pick on the wrong guy, gets their asses beat or worse, meet someone who will respond with a weapon in kind. That is what happened to one of my high school bullies. About 5 years after we graduated, he was getting drunk in a bar shooting pool and getting belligerent. He picks a fight with another guy, words get exchanged, fists get thrown and the guy who was the target of taunting in a heat of rage pulls out a knife and slashes his neck severing his carotid artery. Bully is now dead and the other guy is now doing 20 to life behind bars.
I don’t feel sorry for the bully. The only thing I regret was that he didn’t live. It would have been better if he lived through that so that at least he will know that not everyone will put up with that crap
I've known a handful of guys I was sure wouldn't see forty. Self-styled "big dogs" who were gonna bark at an ACTUAL big dog and get turned into a greasy spot on the floor. No big loss as far as I can see. Live by the sword.....
on 1 hand, I almost feel bad. almost. but on the other hand, he took this path and now he has ended it. now he is nothing but a bad memory to forget about.
I second that. I knew people like that. Some died in their mid to late teens and some died later. Others are still alive that I know about and some I have no idea if they are dead or not.
The guy who used to give me shit moved to Florida after high school and became an honest-to-god "Florida man". Cops pulled him over, they suspected drugs, called a K-9 unit, and the son of a bitch chased a police dog with a weed-whacker for 6 blocks before getting tasered in the ass and arrested for a large amount of some drug (not sure what, the articles didn't say). Last I heard, he still has another 7 years to serve.
"chased a police dog with a weed-whacker" OMG. Does the Society of Florida Men have annual awards? I mean, I write fiction (have a few books on Amazon), and chasing a police dog with a weed-whacker is NOT a scenario I could have come up with in 20 years of weird thinking.
Yes... then Frasier put his Billy's head in the toilet and went sprinting out the door.... That show was a perfect balance of things going right and things spirling out totally out of control is a perfect and hysterical way.
Had a teacher that used to bully students and would walk around with a Steel ruler to hit them across the knuckles. He was in a wheelchair at a reunion, so I stood right in front on him and said "karma is a b****, and I'm glad to see you got yours". I have no sympathy for him, nor any other bullies that repeatedly targeted me. That includes my violent alcoholic parents, I haven't seen since 2010. After what they put me through I don't care if they're dead and I won't even bother going to their funerals.
@D C you are correct but it’s very hard for people who have been hurt by someone they trusted or have been repeatedly targeted to understand this. It’s important to change the way you communicate that.
It’s important too communicate exactly like that,especially in today’s world. I understand what ur saying,where ur coming from...But if I didn’t say it the way I did and maybe softened it up a little,would that person be thinking about what happens when you don’t forgive someone?? And that’s not a rhetorical question,wanna know what you think?Because that’s all that matters in that story.I know people are gonna 👀 at that sentence but it’s the truth.But them going 👀 to that would prove the truth is something they are unfamiliar with.Not talking about ‘their truth’...I’m talking about THE truth.
I ran into one of my bullies from HS about 13 years later... We are the best of friends now. Love that guy now. Fortunately for him and me TBH, I don't hold grudges. I find grudges to be pointless.
I've got a good story. When I was 18 me and an ex used to go for long walks around our neighborhood. There was a guy that would always pick fights with me any time we happened to cross paths with him, it was a small town in rural Florida. Well, 10 years later I'm a sergeant working in a Florida department of corrections and I am the supervisor over the administrative confinement unit on night shift. We would normally show up to work and have new inmates that transferred in on the day shift. I get to work one night and guess who one of my new inmates is, hahaha. Oh boy did he regret being a piece of shit to me when we were teens.
One of my high school bullies came to work at the restaurant I was a supervisor of. My manager told me I needed to have someone scrub the dumpster. I said, "I have just the person for the job." 😂
I completely agree with asshat_backwards at 4:20-ish. Brain injuries and the like terrify me with the capability that they can change us so thoroughly. And while it sounds like Zed's at least become a more friendly individual since then, I can only hope that he's a happier individual, too, but I doubt it. Damnit, I don't know why that story hit so hard.
I love that type of karma and wouldn't feel sorry for him at all. I've been a victim of bullying virtually all my life, from the age of 4, right through high school and up till age 41 in 2010, when I left my entire family behind, due to the games and attempts on my life from a bipolar psychopath mother, I'm high functioning autistic and still get people trying to bully me . Including a guy from the job I just lost. Everything about my personality, interests, hobbies and knowledge was ridiculed. Including my years as an electronics service technician. He basically tried turning me into him. Hes dyslexic and can hardly sign his name at 65 due to his illiteracy. Claimed to have ran a business, I I think he was just another worker and still a liar regarding his life history. Arrogant POS he is.
A former middle school band teacher of mine was awful and a bully to me - got so bad that at one point he made fun of me at a school event. Mind you, there were probably a good 100 students there. Led them all in a chorus of mocking me. Soon after that, I left the band. Several years later, I’m in college and helping a friend of mine with a project he was arranging. He decided to partner with the school band as part of the project. It was a large project so I was helping to administer it. This teacher was still the band director, but now for the high school. He had no clue that I would be there. But I got a sense of sweet redemption when I got to be the one to tell him what to do. I’m sure he remembered be, the look on his face every time I had to tell him something said it all. I wasn’t rude to him; rather I led that part of the project in the same way that he should have been a more effective teacher. It was a small moment, but definitely some personal vindication for me as I no longer “had” to respect him as a teacher and authority figure. For all intents and purposes, for that one hour of that one day, he was under my charge (wasn’t anything major though lol, just some organization of when the band would perform and when and how to set up).
When was the middle school… So a girl tried to drown me in swimming lessons by sitting on my shoulders in the deep end I literally had a bite her thigh to get her off. Well years later, when I was in my early 20s, I was working at LA fitness running the daycare. And lo and behold she walks in with her son and a friend. I don’t think she remembered me, but I remembered her first and last name, and made it very known why. I simply said I remember you you’re the girl I tried to drown mean in the swimming pool when we were in middle school and I had to buy to get you off. Yeah I’ll never forget you. Her friend busted out laughing thought it was the funniest thing ever. And I made sure her son heard it. I then said you never forget school bully’s and winked at her son. Luckily for me, that was the only time she came with her son.
Two bullies in H.S. met terrible fates, one loaded his own shotgun shells, purposely overloaded and compacted. He fired at a street light, the gun exploded scaring him and blinding him in his left eye. Other bully working on his car in his garage, throws his cigarette into “empty” can which contained gasoline, guy was scared for life. Prior to the accident he’d been considered a handsome guy he’ll never be handsome again. Both guys became prey for other bullies rather than the predators. While I never liked either guy it was sad to see them in such dire straights.
Teacher in middle school relentlessly bullied students, especially those who had issues(special needs, struggling at home, etc) she took special effort on the kids who were struggling mentally/being bullied and was a contributing factor for more than one kid attempting the end. The school never did anything because she was so old and at that point tenured. She ended up with cancer her final year before retirement and died shortly after alone and hated by pretty much everyone a handful of people openly celebrated
When I was a freshman in high school, this group of seniors led by one guy used to harass me constantly for no reason, even punching me on occasion when they'd get me alone. Many years later when I'm working as a police/911 dispatcher, I see one of their names come across checking wants/warrants, turned out he was arrested for something or other. A while later I saw another one's name come across for the same thing, arrested for domestic battery. Their group was a bunch of losers so it didn't surprise me that I'd see their names in my line of work, but it really felt good. F you, Troy and Milt. Hope you rot in prison. Your bullying is one of the reasons I still have trouble connecting with people today.
Most of my high school peers are doing fairly well for themselves, even the bullies/ rude ones. Those that misbehaved and got away with it for whatever reasons got theirs and learned their lessons as adults and learned from their mistakes. I have respect for ALMOST all of them, but at a distance.
23:38 in a way OP IS using the teachers kid as a weapon to hurt the teacher. But not by hurting the kid, by giving the kid the tools he needs to prove his mom's BS views of him wrong
I ran into my middle school bully - she had to try making each day miserable for me & was such a horrible person! One of the popular girls of course. I ran into her years later. She was just as bad with the exact same shitty attitude. She took my order at Taco Bell that day (but didn’t touch my food lol) I stayed polite & took my food to my table thinking wow some people never change & can never be helped.
After getting my food I probably would of taunted her for having such a job. Then again as someone going to be a teacher I don't think my job is much higher on a successful-ness list.
@@jaye4157 You would just look an a-hole (not saying you are) and the bully would play the victim card. These kinds of people rarely change. I see mine too and no words need to even be spoken lmao it writes itself. But I work a crap job too lol but my bully looks even worse off than I do.
some people choose this path and this is where they end up. they either live a crappy live, live a painful life, or end up not living at all. either way, all we can to is either help or watch.
The only one that has happened to me was while I was working at a department store I ran into a real very old friend of mine from school. She told me that she was at the time married to one of my bullies. She said that when he found out that she was a old friend of mine he told her that he wished he could apologize to me in person for all of the things he did to me.
I'm friends with my bully now. Turns out that back in the day, her mother would tell my bully how she wished she was never born, how much she hated having her around, etc. That's a hell of a thing for a mother to tell her child. My bully took it out on me.
My bully was the richest most popular girl in our tiny coal-region PA school. Her father was a doctor and they owned the only mansion in the dinky, poor little town. She was short and obese, with long blonde hair. She wasn’t even a tiny bit attractive, but she was rich. She reminded me of Miss Piggy. Fat, bossy, pretentious. And she actually deigned to ride the bus. Where she made fun of me for being Native American and occasionally wearing “Indian clothes”. And said my eyelashes must be fake cause they were so long and made me pull on them to prove it. (I knew nothing of makeup, let alone false eyelashes in the 90’s. I ran the woods from the moment I came home until I had to go to bed. Played in the rivers and ponds and ferns with freaking wild animals I bonded with like a freak. My hair was past my butt, I didn’t even cut it style my hair. I didn’t even know false eyelashes were a thing.) Her favorite thing was to go up front and distract the bus driver and make her drive right on past me. Leaving me alone on the side of the road. Refusing to cry cause I had to go tell my mom the bus driver forgot me again. I was the very last pickup for the driver and we were very poor, so the extra gas to drive me to school made it so much worse. And I was too kind hearted. Even when ppl were mean to me, I never wanted to hurt their feelings. So I never said anything rude or mean or bad. Just thinking about hurting someone’s feelings…even if they hurt me…made me so sad. I couldn’t bring myself to do it. I wish I had told her how vile and cold she was, and that I’d never done a thing to hurt her, so why did she do this to me? She’s now married to some rich guy in Philadelphia. Gotten some weight loss surgery or lipo and what looks like some work done to her piggy face. She’s living a wonderful charmed rich life 😔
My bully in primary school used to do nasty things to me. One day she snuck up behind me with scissors and cut one off one of the strands of my big tails. When mum took my hair out a mass of my hair fell to the floor. I got yelled at for it. Thankfully, she was in none of my classes at the academy. Roll on 30 years I was shopping in town when she came up to me andcapologised emotionally. Turns out she knew she was dying of cancer.
Its anazing how some apologetic people can be when thry find out they are dying. Its like they are afraid that they will go to the other place if they dont
From 7th grade to 12th grade, I had to deal with several bullies. One in particular became a hopeless alcoholic. Any feelings of revenge that I had vanished when I saw what he did to himself. The other bullies never showed at any of the high school reunions. I suspect that their lives were less than stellar.
This actually wasn’t highschool, but when I was a kid for abt a year I was forced to play soccer. I wore a headband with cat ears on it and there were two kids, a brother and a sister, and they would make fun of my headband. One kid, who was around my age, actually would stand up for me and tell them to mind their own business. I didn’t really care what they said, as they obviously had issues which made them act that way. Years later, in my early teens, I see them, and somewhat recognize them, but I figured they wouldn’t recognize me. I was wrong. They did, and the brother said he was sorry for the way he acted.
Well, one "meanie" apologized when I encountered them in college, three died, many of the mean girls got knocked up in HS to deadbeats, and another ironically studied social work. Others seem to have regular lives, I guess. Also, I was able to join my old MS page (class of 06) and posted an anecdote stating that I forgive them but also fuck them for ruining my childhood. None of my bullies on there responded but I'm sure they got they message. Been feeling light ever since.
Read his obituary when he was 29. This is the one who repeatedly stoned me from ambush for not letting him cheat off me or no reason whatsoever. Also, was the little league pitcher with the adult speed curve ball at age 13 that he hit me with almost every time at bat. Also, drowned me in a pool and had to be professionally resuscitated. Died of AIDS during his second stay in prison. I win. Read his obituary when he was 30. This is the one who ambush stabbed me in the back with a pencil then broke off the tip inside me right in the classroom. Cancer. I win. Discovered his gravestone while looking for a different grave. This is the one who stole my bicycle. He died at 40 due to tobacco related illnesses. I win. I don't know what happened to the others except that one had a high maintenance alcoholic girlfriend for decades.
There was a guy in my town (few years before my time) was a raging psychopath that terrorized everyone. He went to the USA to a concert festival. While there he got cut off in traffic by a family in a mini van. He pulled the dad out of and beat him in front of his family then tried to pull the wife out of the vehicle and threatened to R@pe her. She pulled a gun and shot him in the neck thus, making him a quadriplegic. Mr psychopath was then terrorized by all the people he abused. After the third time he was pushed out of his chair and left on the ground, his family had to move him to a care facility in a different town.
23:43 best part is he could only weaponize his success and her sons success against her cuz failure would just prove her right and nothing would change for her. only get worse for them. so even if he wanted to weaponize her sons failure a moment of thought and hed realize it wouldnt work. if the kid wasnt good for the company thats a different story and just sad. thankfully they both defied her backwards expectations and crappy personality and beliefs. :D
I have 2, both very different. There were girls who were mean to me in high school, but I had just moved from a California school where everybody was horrible to me, even teachers, because I had undiagnosed autism. It was only after moving to the Midwest that I finally got a diagnosis and proper treatment, so a handful of mean girls didn't really bother me. Anyway, one girl I saw years later and she apologized for her actions and I told her it was no big deal, but it was like Steve Buscemi crossing off a name in Billy Madison. The second girl was mean even when I was supportive. Last I saw her, she was waiting tables at a truck stop and last I heard she was wiping old peoples' butts in a retirement home.
Had a girl in highschool who hated me, she says it's because I swore at her your brother in grade school even though I only ever said ass when asking what it meant. She apparently got pregnant after highschool so college was out of the question on her because of the baby. Which I'm pretty sure her boyfriend left her. She was a bitch.
Not me but a childhood friend of a friend, Daniel. And just to let you know, this is not a story of being the bigger man or turning the other cheek or getting over it as so many of the stories in the video, nope. Not even close. Looong story ahead: Daniel was always tiny while we were growing up, seemed like he was always about two years behind the rest of us as far as physical development goes. Shorter and kinda skinny-fat. Really tough mentally, but he just didn't have the physical ability to defend himself. Because he was small and weak obviously the biggest bully in school zeroed in on him. Seems like bullies never go for the kids that can fight back, because they're cowards. Anyway, he pretty much got beat up on at least a monthly basis, and his bully and his friends - who knew where he lived - would sometimes wait for him after school, somewhere along the way home (back then all kids rode their bicycles to and from school, parents never picked them up and dropped them off). I don't think he ever told his parents about it - as I said he was very tough, mentally, and never cried or backed down or begged for mercy when he got beat up - he just took the abuse in silence. In high school his family moved to a different area and apparently he had a huge growth spurt in his early teens. He grew like a foot in height and put on a solid 30 lbs in one year, and started working out and training boxing. He spent the next ten years working out and boxing several times a week. On his 23rd birthday he was back in his home town visiting his parents and he went to the local pub with a few of his semi-nerdy friends he grew up with, and who do they find there? Yup, his bully, who was still exactly the same person as he was in school. Immature, mean and a massive jerk. I wasn't there but I was told by one of the nerdy guys he went to the pub with that Daniel stood up when he saw the bully, walked up to him and just stared at him without saying a word. The bully - who despite my friend's growth spurt was still the bigger and taller of the two - recognized him almost immediately and started heckling him exactly like he did in school, all those years ago. Daniel said "come outside". The bully hesitated, he wasn't expecting that at all, so my friend repeated it; "come outside". Bully still didn't move, and started looking around for support from his friends, but they were all avoiding eye contact. Finally the bully snaps out of it and postures up because he doesn't want to lose face and look weak in front of his friends. They walk outside, to a grassy patch behind the pub, and the bully tries to sucker punch Daniel from behind, with a damn knuckle duster. Daniel easily slips the punch (he probably expected it to happen) and then proceeds to beat the absolute shit out of the bully. He wasn't holding back to just slap the bully around to teach him a lesson, no no, he was deliberately hurting him as much as he possibly could with full power blows - except he didn't once punch him in the face/head. Only body blows. He continued well after the bully went to the ground, working his body with punch after punch. He didn't stop until the bully was literally ugly-crying for mercy, and begging him to stop. Then he just stopped and said "we're even" and left. He caught assault charges for it but in the end he got off with a slap on the wrist, as there were numerous witnesses that testified that the bully threw the first punch with a weapon (knuckle duster), a sucker punch from behind no less, and the bully didn't have as much as a scratch or a bruise on his face. He did have a broken rib and like a third of his upper body was covered in bruises, but no permanent nor life-threatening injuries. Not a pretty story of forgiveness and being a bigger person, but even though I would never in a million years have done what Daniel did (I mean, if I even had the physical ability to deliver a beatdown like that - which I don't) but I still kind of low-key approved of it given what an absolute mean sack of scat that bully was.
I shot and killed my highschool bully when he tried to break into / rob my house to support his heroin problem in 2015. Went to highschool from 2006 to 2010 with a prick I'll call Tony. I graduated and went off to the Navy (2010-2014) meanwhile Tony got involved with drug dealers and gets hooked on heroin, hitting rock bottom and started robbing houses to support his habit. Tried kicking my door down at around 3am and woke me up and I grabbed my Kimber 1911 from my nightstand and post up on the stairs facing the door while my fiance locked herself and our daughter in the bathroom with her Kahr and the police on the phone. He broke down the door and took a few steps before I mag dumped him, dropped him, dropped my weapon and laid down on the ground with my hands down and waited for the police. No charges were pressed because we live in a state with Castle doctrine and stand your ground laws. At the time he had a mile long criminal record and was actively wanted for burglary and aggravated assault with a deadly weapon
Crossed a bully from middle school in the corridor of a psych ward (we were both patient). Covid quarantine was fully enforced at the time, so I was mostly confined to my room. A nurse came daily to talk and make sure I wasn't going crazy on isolation, and one day he informed me the ex-bully had recognised me, wanted to apologize and had written me a note. I didn't read the note, but said to the nurse to transmit that I was other the bullying now and to say watever could make the guy feel better (I might even have said I forgave him, can't remember). I never thought of him as a bad guy, just as a profound idiot. Hence I never held a grudge against him (even though he messed me up for at least 3 years).
Damn... that story about Zed reminds me in a big way about the practice of death of personality in Babylon 5. OP's reaction is easily one of the best I can imagine. For the layman. The Babylon 5 story universe has a lot of telepath's, telekinetic's also feature but less significantly so, and as a result telepaths and the social realities of telepathy are a part of many story arcs. One is where much of the population demanding capital punishment got the compromise of using telepaths and technology to basically kill the convicted persons mind and afterwards build a Ned Flanders-esque personality to replace the old one. The Pseudo-Flanders individual is then carted off to some obscure section of human controlled space to quietly serve society.
I actually realize that I was an ass in high school apologized. Both of the people I never heard back from one but the other one for gave me long ago she said. I’m not going to say were great friends, but we are good friends and now we discuss sewing and she’s giving me some tips. And she’s thinking of starting a quilting class at her church and I’ve told her if she does, I know who gets first shot at being the first participant.
@3:53 best one by far. Felt so real and I'm sure a good amount of people have felt that way once or twice. That realization of noticing how disgusting you are for being so hateful is only required once, unfortunately I've felt that but have grown more than I thought possible.
Met the Junior High School bully again after High School. He was selling shoes at the local mall. I had the day off from the restaurant I was managing. On the upside, it gave him a chance to chat with the cheerleader he had been chasing in vain throughout High School, since I was married to her. We had our daughter with us. I invited him to my restaurant for a comped dinner of his choice, but he never took my up on it. Maybe he couldn't get a date. Who knows? Good times. :)
One of my Bully is a lazy Crystal dealer who pays child support to his ex. Another graduated became nicer after giving birth. Kid is super freaking cute. One who dated a guy I liked (she knew) couldn't keep her pants on and idk nor do I care what she is up to. The guy now tries to flirt with me, but I'm married to a wonderful man who truly loves me. Lol
I was the bully in elementary school, bullied this kid because I thought I had to look cool in front of my friends who I then found out wasn't really friends and karma came back around towards me. Fast forward to that kid that I bullied back then, is now my sister boyfriend (Basically banged my sister and is taller and bigger than I) and plans on getting married to her someday. Very cool guy, would totally love to see him as my brother-in-law.
Met a middle school bully as an adult. We started on the same night on the same shift at a factory, he lasted about a week, I've been there 5 months. I feel like I've won. But learning through my mom that works with his mother that he's had a very turbulent upbringing, I hold no ill will and hope he does better
Several of my bullies have actually died. I was raised to be as politically correct as possible. With a mental disorder or two. Had a one armed black kid call me a "shrimp boner" for literally no reason. I panicked. What do I say? He's black, so I'll be called racist AND the guy has only one arm! Would I be called ableist or something? I always thought that people who were different would be nicer because they knew what it was like... I froze, mind racing so fast with so much... me.exe stopped functioning! I met the same guy years later in a grocery store parking lot. He apologized, telling me I did literally nothing to deserve it and just that he was going through some stuff.
My high school bully was in my friend group ( she wasn’t my friend but a friend of a friend) and was constantly around me durning school, pretending to be my friend. She tormented me almost every day, followed me to trade school and made the whole experience miserable. She once bragged to me for weeks because a person I had a crush on asked her out, she turned them down but didn’t miss the opportunity to rub it in my face. She tried to ruin my friendships I already had and control who I spent time with., got one of my friends into self harming herself and would show her wounds off like it was something to be proud of. If I ever stood up to her, I was “getting off on putting her down” and she would report me to principal. Once she reported me for being “homophobic” because I told her I was uncomfortable with her over sharing her overly detailed sexual experiences. I’m bi and she was just TMI. Thankfully she left sophomore year, ran into her years later after graduating, she’s a M-head and still often tries to friend request me on Facebook. There’s more things she’s done but I’ve repressed a lot of it.
I had my daughter in High school. When I was 7 months pregnant my bully from middle school till graduation tripped me on purpose in the halls. School didn't do a damn thing about it. My daughter was totally fine thank God. Fast forward. She has a daughter that was born with a bunch of health issues. Her daughter is doing much better now and is healthy. But I feel like it was the universes way of teaching her a lesson.
There was this kid who bullied a lot of people, nobody specifically just everybody who wouldn't defend themselves. Anyway I joined the military muscled up and got more confident and was ready to take this lad down if we ever met. Good job we never did as he became light middleweight world boxing champion in the 90s. Nobody said the story needed a positive outcome.
I haven't met my bullies from high school.. for a couple reasons, 1) i went to 4 different schools from elemteray to high school and 2) they were in very different locations. but I don't know what it'd be like since they'd see as something immature, but some of their actions along with an unknown birth defect, Platybasia, meant their actions have had a permanent effect on my physical health.. I've swung back and forth between forgiveness and rage. so if I ever saw Matthew again i dont know whether id punch him in the face or just turn around and leave
I feel kids are just figuring out what it is to be a person and don’t know how to treat others. There are some who never figure it out, but the rest of us can’t help but look back at our past selves and facepalm. I even find myself glad to see people I didn’t get along with as kids (never had a real “bully”, just ppl I didn’t click with or just didn’t like).
I didn’t get bullied after freshmen year. Those guys either left or were strong armed into leaving me alone. But I did get dinner with my cousin and my middle school bullies. (They we’re friends) We laughed about the whole thing and I got over it.
I haven't run into any of my school bullies as an adult. Though one kid who bullied me in Elementary School ended up doing theater with me in high school. He was 2 years older than me and didn't seem to even remember me from Elementary School. He also seemed a lot nicer in high school, at least we made it through that entire run without him ever causing problems for me. I don't know what happened to that kid between Elementary School and High School but he was like a whole different person.
Wasn’t a bully to me but caused me a bit of issue’s reputation wise in high school I was in a bit of bad mood most of the time due to medication but was respected as I never minded lending a hand. But one guy who thought to calling me a Nazi as I come a predominantly German family who Doctors on both sides of war. And because of that he kept calling me a Nazi I spent 3 years dealing with the rumors and speculation and god I had teachers and others asking if I was. But 4 years later I’m working a decent job taking care of my elderly grandmother. And he’s a homeless man addicted to heroin, meth in Huston
Never had met mine yet, probably don't want too anyway, I'll continue doing what I'm doing now, newer car, paying my own bills, buying my own food, and paying rent, I'll say...I'm doing quite well
I had a few kids pick on me in school but never for very long. My father was a Master Sergeant and he had taught me from a young age that violence begets violence. One day this kid and I were messin around and he was punching me in the arm as kids do. After the 3rd, he started trying to hurt me and I told him, "If you do that again, you will not like what happens." and I turned to walk away. He made a face, went to punch me again. I pulled the hardcover Harry Potter and the goblet of fire and smashed all 1,000 hardcover pages into his fist with a flourish. He started shaking his hand as if burnt instantly and I just turned and walked to class. Dean of students came and got me, we both got suspended, me 3 days and him for two weeks. My dad bought me Ice cream. We came back and we were seperated and put in differnt class rooms and when the dean saw I was unremorseful, he tried to make a point. I told him I didnt know what he expected one to do when words were used and ignored and they were using violence against me. He told me that I messed that other kids hand up pretty bad. Dislocated fingers (Yes, pleral) His parents ended up with a pretty big medical bill and when his parents called mine, my dad said, "See you in court." and hung up on them. We never went to court and my dad never paid them a cent.
My old bully and I ended up getting the same temp job 14 years later. I couldn’t work with her bc she would just talk and not put any of the plants on the tables, she demanded to my boss that she work inside on the Orchids (which there was no shipment of but there were 15 racks of plants with at least 4 shelves on each for outdoor plants), then just straight up disrespected our supervisor and got fired within 10 min. Oh it felt so good
In the distant past.... I worked at Blockbuster. My co-worker was promoted to Asst. Manager a few days after I started working there and immediately began to abuse her power - she'd boast about her pay raise flaunt her free time now that she wasn't always at the front dealing with customers. Everyone resented her personality shift. I left that job for something better a few months later. About a year after that I saw her working as a cashier at Walmart. She was not a manager in the red vest. She wouldn't look me in the eye as she rang me up. I had the feeling this wasn't a second job or something. She probably got fired from Blockbuster! But I'm only guessing. I walked away a little more proud of my recently acquired job at a military base as a civilian and my fat contractor paycheck.
Came across my bully while I was working at a gas station. He didn’t recognize me but i knew who it was right away. Realized he wasn’t any different now than he was then. Still a pot head. Well either way, I also realized I’m now more beefier and he’s smaller than me. Warmed my heart to realize i could give him a good thrashing the way he did back then.
Kid who spit on me back in school came into my place of work. I waited on him like I would have anyone else. Wasn't worth doing anything and I wasn't going to engage him in conversation. His mom worked at my bank, she said he was happily married, two kids, decent job in IT, the American Dream basically. I wish I could say I was happy for him, but my conclusion is I should have knocked every tooth out of his misshapen skull when I was young enough to get away with it because he sure didn't get due justice from anywhere else. I hope for his kids' sake he became an actual human being after school.
Went to a night market that was near my old middle school with my sisters. We were in the mood for street food. Saw my bully (i knew it was him cus. He lives near by that area and i recognized his voice) in raggy clothes and unkempt hair. I didn't say anything. Got into the car and told my one of my sisters that was the prick that kept slaping the back of my head whenever he passed my desk. She said "wow you were bullied by that loser?" I shrugged. We had kababs. Gud stuff.
Got added as a friend in 08/09ish buy a guy I'll call L. L bullied me in secondary school I accepted his friend request & got a message asking how I was, what I've been doing since leaving school in 2002 & congratulated me on the birth of my daughter(now 14). I said the usual I'm OK talked about post school things I did & wished him 7/8 belated happy birthdays(we share the same b'day). L apologised for bullying me I forgave him said it was in the past etc. When my mum passed in 2011 he was one of few former school mates to give his condolences & when his mum passed about a year or two after my mum did I expressed my condolences & offered him a virtual shoulder to cry on & talk through his grief(he lived in Portsmouth far from our Berkshire home county). We'll occasionally comment on each others posts & every birthday without fail message each other he'll make a friendly jab at me being 12hrs or so older & I take friendly jabs at how many hours older I am & how I look far younger then him. Over all I've had good experience with 2 of my bullies.
Danielle Wolfe was not a bully. She got bullied by her teachers. Especially, Sandra McNanny, and the school system let her parents, grandparents, and extended family mistreat her, gas light her, blacklist her, for actions of her twin sisters, she had 12, 5 to 7 of them are "in hiding"/ dead/ or living underground. Because no unfavors Johnson and Johnson's Kimberly Anne Johnson Griffin. At least now, we resolved my issues with my mentor, and well, one thing lead to another.
I played a little basketball from 4th grade to 6th. 6th grade I didn’t realize is when everyone took it that seriously. I was okay but not the best. I didn’t make the team the first go around but the coach liked me enough for me to keep up with everyone’s score and I was allowed to keep practicing with the team to improve. One girl quits and the coach said I’ve improved so well that I could be an official member. A lot go the girls on the other team did not see it that way and treated me like absolute shit. Saying I’m only there as a fill in. When we are introduced on the court, they would not do any high fives or acknowledge me, not tell me what the play was or would change it after the coach would tell me. The coach did nothing because parents were crazy and how dare their sports stars get in trouble! The school ignored it too. But I stuck with it because I really liked playing. One day I out scored everyone and we won a big game. I was thinking maybe that would help them treat me better. No. They ambushed me and threw me in the dumpster because I embarrassed them. I quit after that and never talked to any of them. We are all in our 30s now and I’ve moved away and never thought about them again for many years. However, since our home town is so small and nothing stays a secret, a couple of them still talk about how bad a sucked at 6th grade basketball. I just find it sad at this point these grown women are still groveling about something that happened before we were even teens. As far as I knew, scouts don’t really pay attention until you’re in high school, and I didn’t stop them from continuing. None of them made it professionally though. One is a teacher and the worst one owns a decor shop in our hometown.
Reminds me of that TV show wings back in the 90's. One of the episodes where Helen went to high school and gloated how better she is now that she's thin and married to Joe. She uses to big and the girls pick on her for that. Now those girls are spent.
My bully was my own brother (2 years older than I). Constant physical and psychological abuse. Was constantly covered in bruises because I would not give him the satisfaction of seeing me cry, which set him off more and caused him to hit harder/faster. If my girlfriends were too fat, ugly, whatever reason they were not up to his standards, he mocked me and was awful to them. If she was acceptable to his standards, he would try to woo them away from me. Real stand up guy of quality morals. Mom didn't care. Dad endorsed it because he would eventually beat the f**g*t out of me (am trans, but still only attracted to the ladies. Constantly got to hear about how much smarter than me that he was, from the whole family. He got to repeat his senior year and graduated HS the same time I did. Then proceeded to get an OWI less than a year later. He hid from the consequences by joining the Marines. Which made him the perfect, untouchable hero because he did something with his life by going to war. Never stopped the drinking and driving, just never got caught again. Parents didn't see the irony in that they would 110% have kicked me out and disowned me if I had done the exact same thing. Any time we got together (holidays), he would find any reason to argue with anything I said, call me a retard f**g*t, you know, the regular shit I was used to. Rinse and repeat for another 20 years, to the point where I just wont talk around people because my entire life was being told to shut up because I am not my brother so could not possibly have anything to add to a conversation. Eventually went no contact with the lot of them. Now for the 'sad' part. About 3 months ago, he was at a bar that had an open keg for some random persons birthday. Fairly certain he did not know the person, but free beer is free beer. Got over served and belligerent. Ended up getting kicked out after he was found passed out on the floor in the restroom. Instead of just walking/driving home, or even trying to call anyone to come get him, he decided to go stand on the train tracks. Some of the people there said he just stood there, others claim he jumped. Either way, he ended up getting the life blasted out of him by an oncoming train. Got a message at exactly 4:20 A.M. from my sister, 'Just so you know [brother] died tonight.' Now the 420 message felt targeted as I smoke the devils lettuce, which is somehow far worse than drinking yourself into a stupor every night. Honestly I felt far worse for the people that had to clean him up off the tracks than I did for my family, because that had to be an awful blended scent of beer, piss, shit, and poor hygiene. Then after I skipped the funeral services because I was not going to go shit on all the positive memories that everyone, who is not me, has of him, I got another message from my sister that she really hopes we can repair our relationship because she has come to realize that, "it really doesn't matter how you *think* people should be, you should love them as they are." Like seriously, that message felt like she very much did still care that I am not going to be [dead name]? She felt that after my brain injury in 2021, she made a gofundme with my dead name, and when I wasn't going to just let her and my mom use that to pay their bills, while telling me what I can and can't do because I was supposed to be gratefully under their thumbs she refunded all that money
So when I was 24 I actually came across a bully from highschool. Me and my then wife were in a restaurant and I hear my name and immediately know who he is. He actually apologized for the past and asked me how I was doing, ended it with giving me a giftcard that paid for half the meal.
i have only been graduated for like 2 year’s or so and despite it being one of the best schools i have ever attended i don’t plan on attending any highschool reunion they hold and they can all go think i am dead or something hell i might actually be dead by the time a reunion happens if not i will be very lucky but still won’t attend because if i did i would literally have armed guards with me and i don’t want to look like some big shot when i am really not that special it’s just my line of work that has me involved with guards and stuff like that
My bully hated me for unknown reason, was always a jerk to me. Saw him 20 years laters, he tried to talk to me as if we were buddy, as if he don't recall hating me...he died in a stupid car crash about 2 weeks later... i can't say i was sorry for him...😏
The majority of them got pregnant and married right out of high school- And now have 1-2 kids. 🙃 Meanwhile I’m living my best life. Have no kids, and going to school for Elementary Education.
Don't get me wrong, bullies are horrible people because I've been bullied back then, and even now, I'm still kinda getting bullied. However, why do I feel like the majority of these narrators are low key saying that working at McDonald's or any kind of blue collar jobs is the worst thing in the world? It's as if saying, that these types of jobs are some form of punishments for people who were horrible. I have a stable IT job for 9 years, with a Consultant position on an international IT company, but I would never see those other jobs I just mentioned, being lower than mine or an embarrassment. Just an opinion.
Everyone views mcdonalds as a starter job. Its the place for either gaining work experience for a real job or the place for dead beats with no talent who cant or wont do better. Therefore when you meet a classmate years later and they are still at those "beginner" jobs, its a personal victory if you are in a much better position in life than they are in the same time span.
School bully at high school was a teachers son... Became a boxer, took on Australian former League player turned Boxer Anthony Mundine in one of his first professional fights... Mundane who's an ahole himself bet the shit out of our old high school bully 😆
My 10th grade history teacher who was always putting me down and calling me names (despite me having an “A” average in his class) had an inappropriate relationship with a female student. Her parents took a payoff from him to “make it go away”. It wasn’t a large amount but her family was poor so to them it was a lot. Because of the payout, she was the first in her family to attend university. He should’ve gone to prison, though! F**k you, Mr. Thompson!
My bully became a dentist. Which actually makes sense, he turned his talent for causing pain and pulling teeth into his career.
XD
Man…
I only hope you didn't need to go to his office to know that...
Was your bully the guy from Little Shop of Horrors? lol
@@zimbozaggins4640 me or who?
Saw my former bullies working at McDonald’s months after HS. They mocked me in front of everyone & got their asses fired! Later saw one of them at another restaurant & she kept her head down. 😊
must be a small town dang
@@theflaminglitten-fo6jdThank God no but love how their own stupidity got themselves fired.
They received a hard lesson about how the real world is
as they say,
fool them once, shame on you,
but fool them twice and you wished you'd shut your mouth.
that's them in a nutshell
How do you make fun of somebody while working at McDonald’s? If they did that to me, I’d just say they messed up my order and ask for fries
The first story is touching. I'm usually the "eye for an eye" kinda guy. But that story was beautiful.
So you're still an eye for an eye person lmao
I believe people can change..but they have to want to change and do better
@@RodWaffle That doesn't make any sense. You clearly don't even know what it means and yet you're mocking someone for it (objectively incorrectly). You need to pull your head out of your own ass.
@@sammer1097 Do you know what eye for an eye even means lmao
@RodWaffle Yes I am
Age 12-16 I had my own personal bully, he was best friends with everybody else but persecuted me, called me names, tried to steal my schoolbag off my back, ran a hate campaign against me, one time I had a date lined up and he talked her into cancelling. Dumb kid stuff and a lot of pushing and shoving, but made my life hell every day for 4-5 years and wasn't just a bully to everyone, it was targeted solely at me. We left school in 1999 and I was at university 2001-06. Couple years after graduation I remembered him and wondered if he was still being hero-worshipped by everyone, searched his name and found an obituary. He died of natural causes (brain tumour, I think) early 2008. Last week was the 15th anniversary of that and the more time passes, the more striking it is to think that there are no new photos of him, no new stories to tell, no chance/risk of seeing him anytime I go home to visit. I'll be 40 this summer and I'm still a work in progress, I'm definitely a much better person than I was at 25, but I'll admit I'm glad I'll never run into him, it's hard to describe the relief I felt when I first saw that he was dead.
I met a high school bully some years later, he remembered who I was and I reminded him that he wasn't kind to me during that time frame.
First thing he did was apologize to me for how he treated me. We then ended up talking, shooting the shit and becoming friends. He expressed genuine remorse about it.
Find out he is a genuine animal lover and that's how we bonded over our mutual love of cats. While it's been a while since I talked to him, I hope he's doing well these days.
Ugh
@@reh3884 why is that bad?
It was in primary school, me and this other kid used to bully each other actually.
Years later we reconnect and give each other tips on mental health and she even helped me find a therapist.
I'm grateful to her.
I met my high school bully about 25 years after graduation. I was at the cemetery visiting my father's grave.
Coming around the bend, I ran into him. His tombstone said that he had been dead for 13 years.
I said a prayer for him. I often wonder if the roles were reversed, would he have prayed for me?
Would he have felt remorse for his awful treatment of me, upon finding my grave?
I'd like to think so, but probably not. He'd probably would have laughed instead.
Or kicked over the tombstone
damn, i also just realized your username is "still above ground"
Well don’t leave it there! What happened!
Oh yeah success another person who was a bully in life deep in the ground the world doesn't need people like that and no he would not have done the same thing you did
Now we get to laugh at that bully hahahaha I'm going to go take a drink and go play Xbox while he gets eaten alive by maggots in his dark coffin in the ground
I have read many times about the best revenge on bully's is to live very well. And even better yet, forget all about them. If by some chance you happen to meet up, act like you don't know them in any way at all. They are a total stranger.
Honestly, this is great advice.
I hope to put it to use. ESP. The “don’t know them” part. Makes sense. It’s been years.
ah see this wont work for me, even if i pretend, my eyes would show absolute hatred that i still cant hide years after the bullying stopped
I saw our class bully at our 40th reunion. I actually felt sorry for him.. a little. He never amounted to much.I left the town where I grew up and went in the service for 4 years and never went back. I was one of the class dummies or so they thought. I was making over 3 times my age in my mid 20s working in electronics 10 years after I graduated. I graduated in 1971. It only got better after that. I also married a cute girl from our class and we are together at 70yo.
My bully was high school faculty. I was very sick and they literally called me a hypochondriac and teased me in front of the rest of the class if I made it to school several days in a row.
I'm now a janitor at a university. My old high school had their winter concert in the building I clean. Their booking agreement was pro bono and the high school agreed to not serve food and they promised to clean up after. I checked on the area once they left , and it was TRASHED. There was cookies and cupcakes and frosting ground into the carpet both in the lobby, auditorium (absolutely no food in the auditorium allowed), and all the way down the the lower floor. All the lights left on and the stage setting was not put away.
I took pictures before getting a colleague to help me clean up and left the full trash for the next day so the rest of the staff could see the evidence of what was served. The high school got in big trouble
So what happened after, were they banned or what?
@@jaye4157 top 80 questions that will never be answered
Ran into my one of my school bullies about 6 months after graduation. He was already 3 months into college, and we ran into each other at the mall in late December. He struck up a casual conversation and apologized for the way he treated me in high school and realized that kind of attitude won't work in the real world.
This is probably to get lost in the hundreds of comments that are here but I'd like to share my experience.
I'm from México. Things here somehow turns to be very different once you cross the border. When I was 14, I was a very, very feminine boy. I liked to dress as a girl when I was alone, I liked to play with dolls and that kind of stuff. I was bullied because of that but this guy came and started to talk with me when we had free time in school. He's handsome, protective and a kind person. One day, he finally told me that I should wait for him in a far-from-sight part of said school because he wanted to see me. I had the illusion that he would finally ask me if I wanted to be his boyfriend. Turns out he was waiting with other 5 guys that beat the crap out of me. The punches and kicks were so hard that I cough blood and they threatened me that if I say a word, they would kill me. The guy sold me to this bullies and for the next two weeks, they hit me anywhere anytime. After summer break and after a suicide attempt, I came back to school and returned the favor but not this guy.
Years after, when I was 19 or 20, I saw him again. He remembers me and I saw him with two little girls. He told me that he was sorry for doing that to me and that his life was very, very sad. The girls weren't his because turns out, he was cheated and by that time he was divorced but treated the girls as his because love.
I'm 25 years old today and I moved from my old town. The last thing I knew is that he killed himself in 2021 after doing drugs, an overdose. I feel bad for him. He died alone, rejected and between drugs.
Rest in Peace, Aldo. For the record and as I told you, I forgive you.
Ran into one of my middle school bullies a couple years back and the guy had became a priest. He did not say he was sorry directly, just he was a ass back then. When I asked about him becoming a priest, he said, " it's my way of healing without using drugs, after going through two tours. One in Iraq and one in Afghanistan....I lost too many good friends over there". I didn't push him any further, just thank him for his service and wished him a better, more peaceful life.
I ran into my high school bully a few days ago. Lost my driving license too.
Love it!
Car collision or just him?
wait, you ran them over?
😂
The problem with bullies is that sooner or later they pick on the wrong guy, gets their asses beat or worse, meet someone who will respond with a weapon in kind. That is what happened to one of my high school bullies.
About 5 years after we graduated, he was getting drunk in a bar shooting pool and getting belligerent. He picks a fight with another guy, words get exchanged, fists get thrown and the guy who was the target of taunting in a heat of rage pulls out a knife and slashes his neck severing his carotid artery.
Bully is now dead and the other guy is now doing 20 to life behind bars.
I don’t feel sorry for the bully. The only thing I regret was that he didn’t live. It would have been better if he lived through that so that at least he will know that not everyone will put up with that crap
I've known a handful of guys I was sure wouldn't see forty. Self-styled "big dogs" who were gonna bark at an ACTUAL big dog and get turned into a greasy spot on the floor. No big loss as far as I can see. Live by the sword.....
feels good man. One moron is in prison for the years he's good for, the other moron is 6 feet under. Sounds like everything worked out fine
on 1 hand, I almost feel bad. almost. but on the other hand, he took this path and now he has ended it. now he is nothing but a bad memory to forget about.
I second that. I knew people like that. Some died in their mid to late teens and some died later. Others are still alive that I know about and some I have no idea if they are dead or not.
The guy who used to give me shit moved to Florida after high school and became an honest-to-god "Florida man". Cops pulled him over, they suspected drugs, called a K-9 unit, and the son of a bitch chased a police dog with a weed-whacker for 6 blocks before getting tasered in the ass and arrested for a large amount of some drug (not sure what, the articles didn't say). Last I heard, he still has another 7 years to serve.
"chased a police dog with a weed-whacker" OMG. Does the Society of Florida Men have annual awards? I mean, I write fiction (have a few books on Amazon), and chasing a police dog with a weed-whacker is NOT a scenario I could have come up with in 20 years of weird thinking.
I'm sorry but "tasered in the ass" made me chuckle internally.
Thank you for sharing! I can't think of anything more Florida Man than that.
"An honest-to-god Florida Man"
Fantastic lol
This reminds me of that Fraiser episode where Niles met his school bully and the guy cried and apologized to him.
I LOVE FRAISER, my gf calls me old for watching it😂
@@dominicnarrations957 It's a classic show. My parents loved it.
*Frasier, but yeah. That was a great episode.
Yes... then Frasier put his Billy's head in the toilet and went sprinting out the door....
That show was a perfect balance of things going right and things spirling out totally out of control is a perfect and hysterical way.
That’s one of my favorite episodes!!! Niles gives his therapy and Frasier tries to fight his after lecturing Niles 😂
Had a teacher that used to bully students and would walk around with a Steel ruler to hit them across the knuckles.
He was in a wheelchair at a reunion, so I stood right in front on him and said "karma is a b****, and I'm glad to see you got yours".
I have no sympathy for him, nor any other bullies that repeatedly targeted me.

How are you doing right now though?
If you want Jesus/God to forgive the things you’ve done you better figure out how to forgive them.
Let them go to Hell...don’t go with them.
@D C you are correct but it’s very hard for people who have been hurt by someone they trusted or have been repeatedly targeted to understand this. It’s important to change the way you communicate that.
It’s important too communicate exactly like that,especially in today’s world.
I understand what ur saying,where ur coming from...But if I didn’t say it the way I did and maybe softened it up a little,would that person be thinking about what happens when you don’t forgive someone??
And that’s not a rhetorical question,wanna know what you think?Because that’s all that matters in that story.I know people are gonna 👀 at that sentence but it’s the truth.But them going 👀 to that would prove the truth is something they are unfamiliar with.Not talking about ‘their truth’...I’m talking about THE truth.

I ran into one of my bullies from HS about 13 years later... We are the best of friends now. Love that guy now. Fortunately for him and me TBH, I don't hold grudges. I find grudges to be pointless.
"I'm sorry for what I did to you in school." Never understood how this is closure for some, when it reopens old wounds for me.
I've got a good story. When I was 18 me and an ex used to go for long walks around our neighborhood. There was a guy that would always pick fights with me any time we happened to cross paths with him, it was a small town in rural Florida. Well, 10 years later I'm a sergeant working in a Florida department of corrections and I am the supervisor over the administrative confinement unit on night shift. We would normally show up to work and have new inmates that transferred in on the day shift. I get to work one night and guess who one of my new inmates is, hahaha. Oh boy did he regret being a piece of shit to me when we were teens.
One of my high school bullies came to work at the restaurant I was a supervisor of. My manager told me I needed to have someone scrub the dumpster. I said, "I have just the person for the job." 😂
I completely agree with asshat_backwards at 4:20-ish. Brain injuries and the like terrify me with the capability that they can change us so thoroughly. And while it sounds like Zed's at least become a more friendly individual since then, I can only hope that he's a happier individual, too, but I doubt it. Damnit, I don't know why that story hit so hard.
I love that type of karma and wouldn't feel sorry for him at all.
I've been a victim of bullying virtually all my life, from the age of 4, right through high school and up till age 41 in 2010, when I left my entire family behind, due to the games and attempts on my life from a bipolar psychopath mother,
I'm high functioning autistic and still get people trying to bully me .
Including a guy from the job I just lost.
Everything about my personality, interests, hobbies and knowledge was ridiculed.
Including my years as an electronics service technician.
He basically tried turning me into him.
Hes dyslexic and can hardly sign his name at 65 due to his illiteracy.

A former middle school band teacher of mine was awful and a bully to me - got so bad that at one point he made fun of me at a school event. Mind you, there were probably a good 100 students there. Led them all in a chorus of mocking me. Soon after that, I left the band.
Several years later, I’m in college and helping a friend of mine with a project he was arranging. He decided to partner with the school band as part of the project. It was a large project so I was helping to administer it. This teacher was still the band director, but now for the high school. He had no clue that I would be there. But I got a sense of sweet redemption when I got to be the one to tell him what to do. I’m sure he remembered be, the look on his face every time I had to tell him something said it all. I wasn’t rude to him; rather I led that part of the project in the same way that he should have been a more effective teacher. It was a small moment, but definitely some personal vindication for me as I no longer “had” to respect him as a teacher and authority figure. For all intents and purposes, for that one hour of that one day, he was under my charge (wasn’t anything major though lol, just some organization of when the band would perform and when and how to set up).
When was the middle school…
So a girl tried to drown me in swimming lessons by sitting on my shoulders in the deep end I literally had a bite her thigh to get her off. Well years later, when I was in my early 20s, I was working at LA fitness running the daycare. And lo and behold she walks in with her son and a friend. I don’t think she remembered me, but I remembered her first and last name, and made it very known why. I simply said I remember you you’re the girl I tried to drown mean in the swimming pool when we were in middle school and I had to buy to get you off. Yeah I’ll never forget you. Her friend busted out laughing thought it was the funniest thing ever. And I made sure her son heard it. I then said you never forget school bully’s and winked at her son. Luckily for me, that was the only time she came with her son.
Two bullies in H.S. met terrible fates, one loaded his own shotgun shells, purposely overloaded and compacted. He fired at a street light, the gun exploded scaring him and blinding him in his left eye. Other bully working on his car in his garage, throws his cigarette into “empty” can which contained gasoline, guy was scared for life. Prior to the accident he’d been considered a handsome guy he’ll never be handsome again. Both guys became prey for other bullies rather than the predators. While I never liked either guy it was sad to see them in such dire straights.
Teacher in middle school relentlessly bullied students, especially those who had issues(special needs, struggling at home, etc) she took special effort on the kids who were struggling mentally/being bullied and was a contributing factor for more than one kid attempting the end. The school never did anything because she was so old and at that point tenured. She ended up with cancer her final year before retirement and died shortly after alone and hated by pretty much everyone a handful of people openly celebrated
Dang, she was so evil even her body wanted her dead.
I think there was a reddit story like that.
When I was a freshman in high school, this group of seniors led by one guy used to harass me constantly for no reason, even punching me on occasion when they'd get me alone. Many years later when I'm working as a police/911 dispatcher, I see one of their names come across checking wants/warrants, turned out he was arrested for something or other. A while later I saw another one's name come across for the same thing, arrested for domestic battery. Their group was a bunch of losers so it didn't surprise me that I'd see their names in my line of work, but it really felt good. F you, Troy and Milt. Hope you rot in prison. Your bullying is one of the reasons I still have trouble connecting with people today.
Most of my high school peers are doing fairly well for themselves, even the bullies/ rude ones. Those that misbehaved and got away with it for whatever reasons got theirs and learned their lessons as adults and learned from their mistakes. I have respect for ALMOST all of them, but at a distance.
23:38 in a way OP IS using the teachers kid as a weapon to hurt the teacher. But not by hurting the kid, by giving the kid the tools he needs to prove his mom's BS views of him wrong
I ran into my middle school bully - she had to try making each day miserable for me & was such a horrible person! One of the popular girls of course. I ran into her years later. She was just as bad with the exact same shitty attitude. She took my order at Taco Bell that day (but didn’t touch my food lol) I stayed polite & took my food to my table thinking wow some people never change & can never be helped.
After getting my food I probably would of taunted her for having such a job. Then again as someone going to be a teacher I don't think my job is much higher on a successful-ness list.
@@jaye4157 You would just look an a-hole (not saying you are) and the bully would play the victim card. These kinds of people rarely change. I see mine too and no words need to even be spoken lmao it writes itself. But I work a crap job too lol but my bully looks even worse off than I do.

The only one that has happened to me was while I was working at a department store I ran into a real very old friend of mine from school. She told me that she was at the time married to one of my bullies. She said that when he found out that she was a old friend of mine he told her that he wished he could apologize to me in person for all of the things he did to me.
Did he follow through with it?

I'm friends with my bully now. Turns out that back in the day, her mother would tell my bully how she wished she was never born, how much she hated having her around, etc. That's a hell of a thing for a mother to tell her child. My bully took it out on me.
My bully was the richest most popular girl in our tiny coal-region PA school. Her father was a doctor and they owned the only mansion in the dinky, poor little town. She was short and obese, with long blonde hair. She wasn’t even a tiny bit attractive, but she was rich. She reminded me of Miss Piggy. Fat, bossy, pretentious. And she actually deigned to ride the bus. Where she made fun of me for being Native American and occasionally wearing “Indian clothes”. And said my eyelashes must be fake cause they were so long and made me pull on them to prove it. (I knew nothing of makeup, let alone false eyelashes in the 90’s. I ran the woods from the moment I came home until I had to go to bed. Played in the rivers and ponds and ferns with freaking wild animals I bonded with like a freak. My hair was past my butt, I didn’t even cut it style my hair. I didn’t even know false eyelashes were a thing.)
Her favorite thing was to go up front and distract the bus driver and make her drive right on past me. Leaving me alone on the side of the road. Refusing to cry cause I had to go tell my mom the bus driver forgot me again. I was the very last pickup for the driver and we were very poor, so the extra gas to drive me to school made it so much worse.
And I was too kind hearted. Even when ppl were mean to me, I never wanted to hurt their feelings. So I never said anything rude or mean or bad. Just thinking about hurting someone’s feelings…even if they hurt me…made me so sad. I couldn’t bring myself to do it. I wish I had told her how vile and cold she was, and that I’d never done a thing to hurt her, so why did she do this to me?
She’s now married to some rich guy in Philadelphia. Gotten some weight loss surgery or lipo and what looks like some work done to her piggy face. She’s living a wonderful charmed rich life 😔
You sound like an absolute gem. Never change who you are please
My bully in primary school used to do nasty things to me. One day she snuck up behind me with scissors and cut one off one of the strands of my big tails. When mum took my hair out a mass of my hair fell to the floor. I got yelled at for it. Thankfully, she was in none of my classes at the academy. Roll on 30 years I was shopping in town when she came up to me andcapologised emotionally. Turns out she knew she was dying of cancer.
Its anazing how some apologetic people can be when thry find out they are dying.
Its like they are afraid that they will go to the other place if they dont
From 7th grade to 12th grade, I had to deal with several bullies. One in particular became a hopeless alcoholic. Any feelings of revenge that I had vanished when I saw what he did to himself. The other bullies never showed at any of the high school reunions. I suspect that their lives were less than stellar.
This actually wasn’t highschool, but when I was a kid for abt a year I was forced to play soccer. I wore a headband with cat ears on it and there were two kids, a brother and a sister, and they would make fun of my headband. One kid, who was around my age, actually would stand up for me and tell them to mind their own business. I didn’t really care what they said, as they obviously had issues which made them act that way. Years later, in my early teens, I see them, and somewhat recognize them, but I figured they wouldn’t recognize me. I was wrong. They did, and the brother said he was sorry for the way he acted.
Well, one "meanie" apologized when I encountered them in college, three died, many of the mean girls got knocked up in HS to deadbeats, and another ironically studied social work. Others seem to have regular lives, I guess. Also, I was able to join my old MS page (class of 06) and posted an anecdote stating that I forgive them but also fuck them for ruining my childhood. None of my bullies on there responded but I'm sure they got they message. Been feeling light ever since.
Read his obituary when he was 29. This is the one who repeatedly stoned me from ambush for not letting him cheat off me or no reason whatsoever. Also, was the little league pitcher with the adult speed curve ball at age 13 that he hit me with almost every time at bat. Also, drowned me in a pool and had to be professionally resuscitated. Died of AIDS during his second stay in prison. I win.
Read his obituary when he was 30. This is the one who ambush stabbed me in the back with a pencil then broke off the tip inside me right in the classroom. Cancer. I win.
Discovered his gravestone while looking for a different grave. This is the one who stole my bicycle. He died at 40 due to tobacco related illnesses. I win.
I don't know what happened to the others except that one had a high maintenance alcoholic girlfriend for decades.
There was a guy in my town (few years before my time) was a raging psychopath that terrorized everyone. He went to the USA to a concert festival. While there he got cut off in traffic by a family in a mini van. He pulled the dad out of and beat him in front of his family then tried to pull the wife out of the vehicle and threatened to R@pe her. She pulled a gun and shot him in the neck thus, making him a quadriplegic. Mr psychopath was then terrorized by all the people he abused. After the third time he was pushed out of his chair and left on the ground, his family had to move him to a care facility in a different town.
23:43 best part is he could only weaponize his success and her sons success against her cuz failure would just prove her right and nothing would change for her. only get worse for them. so even if he wanted to weaponize her sons failure a moment of thought and hed realize it wouldnt work. if the kid wasnt good for the company thats a different story and just sad. thankfully they both defied her backwards expectations and crappy personality and beliefs. :D
Teachers who bully 4th or 5th graders are the worst people. The retribution for those teachers = the best stories.
Why? Is it because they are kids. You do realise that older people dont deserve to be bullied too.

I have 2, both very different. There were girls who were mean to me in high school, but I had just moved from a California school where everybody was horrible to me, even teachers, because I had undiagnosed autism. It was only after moving to the Midwest that I finally got a diagnosis and proper treatment, so a handful of mean girls didn't really bother me. Anyway, one girl I saw years later and she apologized for her actions and I told her it was no big deal, but it was like Steve Buscemi crossing off a name in Billy Madison. The second girl was mean even when I was supportive. Last I saw her, she was waiting tables at a truck stop and last I heard she was wiping old peoples' butts in a retirement home.
Had a girl in highschool who hated me, she says it's because I swore at her your brother in grade school even though I only ever said ass when asking what it meant.
She apparently got pregnant after highschool so college was out of the question on her because of the baby. Which I'm pretty sure her boyfriend left her. She was a bitch.
Not me but a childhood friend of a friend, Daniel. And just to let you know, this is not a story of being the bigger man or turning the other cheek or getting over it as so many of the stories in the video, nope. Not even close. Looong story ahead:
Daniel was always tiny while we were growing up, seemed like he was always about two years behind the rest of us as far as physical development goes. Shorter and kinda skinny-fat. Really tough mentally, but he just didn't have the physical ability to defend himself. Because he was small and weak obviously the biggest bully in school zeroed in on him. Seems like bullies never go for the kids that can fight back, because they're cowards.
Anyway, he pretty much got beat up on at least a monthly basis, and his bully and his friends - who knew where he lived - would sometimes wait for him after school, somewhere along the way home (back then all kids rode their bicycles to and from school, parents never picked them up and dropped them off). I don't think he ever told his parents about it - as I said he was very tough, mentally, and never cried or backed down or begged for mercy when he got beat up - he just took the abuse in silence.
In high school his family moved to a different area and apparently he had a huge growth spurt in his early teens. He grew like a foot in height and put on a solid 30 lbs in one year, and started working out and training boxing. He spent the next ten years working out and boxing several times a week.
On his 23rd birthday he was back in his home town visiting his parents and he went to the local pub with a few of his semi-nerdy friends he grew up with, and who do they find there? Yup, his bully, who was still exactly the same person as he was in school. Immature, mean and a massive jerk.
I wasn't there but I was told by one of the nerdy guys he went to the pub with that Daniel stood up when he saw the bully, walked up to him and just stared at him without saying a word. The bully - who despite my friend's growth spurt was still the bigger and taller of the two - recognized him almost immediately and started heckling him exactly like he did in school, all those years ago. Daniel said "come outside".
The bully hesitated, he wasn't expecting that at all, so my friend repeated it; "come outside". Bully still didn't move, and started looking around for support from his friends, but they were all avoiding eye contact. Finally the bully snaps out of it and postures up because he doesn't want to lose face and look weak in front of his friends. They walk outside, to a grassy patch behind the pub, and the bully tries to sucker punch Daniel from behind, with a damn knuckle duster. Daniel easily slips the punch (he probably expected it to happen) and then proceeds to beat the absolute shit out of the bully.
He wasn't holding back to just slap the bully around to teach him a lesson, no no, he was deliberately hurting him as much as he possibly could with full power blows - except he didn't once punch him in the face/head. Only body blows. He continued well after the bully went to the ground, working his body with punch after punch. He didn't stop until the bully was literally ugly-crying for mercy, and begging him to stop. Then he just stopped and said "we're even" and left.
He caught assault charges for it but in the end he got off with a slap on the wrist, as there were numerous witnesses that testified that the bully threw the first punch with a weapon (knuckle duster), a sucker punch from behind no less, and the bully didn't have as much as a scratch or a bruise on his face. He did have a broken rib and like a third of his upper body was covered in bruises, but no permanent nor life-threatening injuries.
Not a pretty story of forgiveness and being a bigger person, but even though I would never in a million years have done what Daniel did (I mean, if I even had the physical ability to deliver a beatdown like that - which I don't) but I still kind of low-key approved of it given what an absolute mean sack of scat that bully was.

This makes me feel good
Given I moved away from that state shortly after graduation the chances I'll meet my bully is slim to none
I shot and killed my highschool bully when he tried to break into / rob my house to support his heroin problem in 2015. Went to highschool from 2006 to 2010 with a prick I'll call Tony. I graduated and went off to the Navy (2010-2014) meanwhile Tony got involved with drug dealers and gets hooked on heroin, hitting rock bottom and started robbing houses to support his habit. Tried kicking my door down at around 3am and woke me up and I grabbed my Kimber 1911 from my nightstand and post up on the stairs facing the door while my fiance locked herself and our daughter in the bathroom with her Kahr and the police on the phone. He broke down the door and took a few steps before I mag dumped him, dropped him, dropped my weapon and laid down on the ground with my hands down and waited for the police. No charges were pressed because we live in a state with Castle doctrine and stand your ground laws. At the time he had a mile long criminal record and was actively wanted for burglary and aggravated assault with a deadly weapon
Thank god you weren't charged. Hope you're doing well
Dang, can't tell weather this is sad as you had to take his life, or divine retribution for everything he's done. The assaults included.
Wished i killed my bully. But someone else did it for me.
I owe them a drink
Why couldnt you force him to just go to rehab? Or did you just mercy-kill him?
Crossed a bully from middle school in the corridor of a psych ward (we were both patient).
Covid quarantine was fully enforced at the time, so I was mostly confined to my room. A nurse came daily to talk and make sure I wasn't going crazy on isolation, and one day he informed me the ex-bully had recognised me, wanted to apologize and had written me a note.
I didn't read the note, but said to the nurse to transmit that I was other the bullying now and to say watever could make the guy feel better (I might even have said I forgave him, can't remember).
I never thought of him as a bad guy, just as a profound idiot. Hence I never held a grudge against him (even though he messed me up for at least 3 years).
The one about the guy finding his old enemy on the street and sorting him out is an amazing story. He saved that guy's life, basically.
Damn... that story about Zed reminds me in a big way about the practice of death of personality in Babylon 5. OP's reaction is easily one of the best I can imagine.
For the layman. The Babylon 5 story universe has a lot of telepath's, telekinetic's also feature but less significantly so, and as a result telepaths and the social realities of telepathy are a part of many story arcs. One is where much of the population demanding capital punishment got the compromise of using telepaths and technology to basically kill the convicted persons mind and afterwards build a Ned Flanders-esque personality to replace the old one. The Pseudo-Flanders individual is then carted off to some obscure section of human controlled space to quietly serve society.
I actually realize that I was an ass in high school apologized. Both of the people I never heard back from one but the other one for gave me long ago she said. I’m not going to say were great friends, but we are good friends and now we discuss sewing and she’s giving me some tips. And she’s thinking of starting a quilting class at her church and I’ve told her if she does, I know who gets first shot at being the first participant.
@3:53 best one by far. Felt so real and I'm sure a good amount of people have felt that way once or twice. That realization of noticing how disgusting you are for being so hateful is only required once, unfortunately I've felt that but have grown more than I thought possible.
I saw my wife's highschool bully. She had two kids and her boyfriend left her, she is on drugs now and looks terrible, to me that's justice
Met the Junior High School bully again after High School. He was selling shoes at the local mall. I had the day off from the restaurant I was managing.
On the upside, it gave him a chance to chat with the cheerleader he had been chasing in vain throughout High School, since I was married to her. We had our daughter with us.
I invited him to my restaurant for a comped dinner of his choice, but he never took my up on it.
Maybe he couldn't get a date. Who knows?
Good times. :)
Wtf
Was his name Al Bundy?
That second to last one is a huge fucking win. Helped get someone off the streets and give them back a life.
One of my Bully is a lazy Crystal dealer who pays child support to his ex.
Another graduated became nicer after giving birth. Kid is super freaking cute.
One who dated a guy I liked (she knew) couldn't keep her pants on and idk nor do I care what she is up to. The guy now tries to flirt with me, but I'm married to a wonderful man who truly loves me. Lol
I was the bully in elementary school, bullied this kid because I thought I had to look cool in front of my friends who I then found out wasn't really friends and karma came back around towards me. Fast forward to that kid that I bullied back then, is now my sister boyfriend (Basically banged my sister and is taller and bigger than I) and plans on getting married to her someday. Very cool guy, would totally love to see him as my brother-in-law.
Met a middle school bully as an adult. We started on the same night on the same shift at a factory, he lasted about a week, I've been there 5 months. I feel like I've won. But learning through my mom that works with his mother that he's had a very turbulent upbringing, I hold no ill will and hope he does better
Sounds like you're far too soft on that scumbag...but okay.
Several of my bullies have actually died.
I was raised to be as politically correct as possible. With a mental disorder or two. Had a one armed black kid call me a "shrimp boner" for literally no reason.
I panicked. What do I say? He's black, so I'll be called racist AND the guy has only one arm! Would I be called ableist or something? I always thought that people who were different would be nicer because they knew what it was like... I froze, mind racing so fast with so much... me.exe stopped functioning!
I met the same guy years later in a grocery store parking lot. He apologized, telling me I did literally nothing to deserve it and just that he was going through some stuff.
My high school bully was in my friend group ( she wasn’t my friend but a friend of a friend) and was constantly around me durning school, pretending to be my friend. She tormented me almost every day, followed me to trade school and made the whole experience miserable. She once bragged to me for weeks because a person I had a crush on asked her out, she turned them down but didn’t miss the opportunity to rub it in my face. She tried to ruin my friendships I already had and control who I spent time with., got one of my friends into self harming herself and would show her wounds off like it was something to be proud of. If I ever stood up to her, I was “getting off on putting her down” and she would report me to principal. Once she reported me for being “homophobic” because I told her I was uncomfortable with her over sharing her overly detailed sexual experiences. I’m bi and she was just TMI. Thankfully she left sophomore year, ran into her years later after graduating, she’s a M-head and still often tries to friend request me on Facebook. There’s more things she’s done but I’ve repressed a lot of it.
I had my daughter in High school. When I was 7 months pregnant my bully from middle school till graduation tripped me on purpose in the halls. School didn't do a damn thing about it. My daughter was totally fine thank God. Fast forward. She has a daughter that was born with a bunch of health issues. Her daughter is doing much better now and is healthy. But I feel like it was the universes way of teaching her a lesson.
There was this kid who bullied a lot of people, nobody specifically just everybody who wouldn't defend themselves. Anyway I joined the military muscled up and got more confident and was ready to take this lad down if we ever met. Good job we never did as he became light middleweight world boxing champion in the 90s. Nobody said the story needed a positive outcome.
I met an old bully once, he was released from jail a week prior. I was not surprised. What a loser.
I haven't met my bullies from high school.. for a couple reasons, 1) i went to 4 different schools from elemteray to high school and 2) they were in very different locations.
but I don't know what it'd be like since they'd see as something immature, but some of their actions along with an unknown birth defect, Platybasia, meant their actions have had a permanent effect on my physical health..
I've swung back and forth between forgiveness and rage. so if I ever saw Matthew again i dont know whether id punch him in the face or just turn around and leave
I feel kids are just figuring out what it is to be a person and don’t know how to treat others. There are some who never figure it out, but the rest of us can’t help but look back at our past selves and facepalm. I even find myself glad to see people I didn’t get along with as kids (never had a real “bully”, just ppl I didn’t click with or just didn’t like).
I work with my former bully from school. He is my best friend now . He really grew into a great person.
I didn’t get bullied after freshmen year. Those guys either left or were strong armed into leaving me alone.
But I did get dinner with my cousin and my middle school bullies. (They we’re friends)
We laughed about the whole thing and I got over it.
1:46 I am not shocked that the Golds are snobs. Scripted or not, I could sense that they were as snobby if not moreso irl than they are on TV.
The Zed one made me so sad.
I haven't run into any of my school bullies as an adult. Though one kid who bullied me in Elementary School ended up doing theater with me in high school. He was 2 years older than me and didn't seem to even remember me from Elementary School. He also seemed a lot nicer in high school, at least we made it through that entire run without him ever causing problems for me. I don't know what happened to that kid between Elementary School and High School but he was like a whole different person.
Most of the bullies from my town end up dying from a drug overdose.
Nothing of value was lost then.
I just got an invitation to my 50th HS Reunion. I AM NOT GOING. Nobody I want to see. LOL
I never experienced movie-level bullying but receiving friend invites on social media from these jerks and ignoring them feels so powerful
Wasn’t a bully to me but caused me a bit of issue’s reputation wise in high school I was in a bit of bad mood most of the time due to medication but was respected as I never minded lending a hand. But one guy who thought to calling me a Nazi as I come a predominantly German family who Doctors on both sides of war. And because of that he kept calling me a Nazi I spent 3 years dealing with the rumors and speculation and god I had teachers and others asking if I was. But 4 years later I’m working a decent job taking care of my elderly grandmother. And he’s a homeless man addicted to heroin, meth in Huston
Never had met mine yet, probably don't want too anyway, I'll continue doing what I'm doing now, newer car, paying my own bills, buying my own food, and paying rent, I'll say...I'm doing quite well
I had a few kids pick on me in school but never for very long. My father was a Master Sergeant and he had taught me from a young age that violence begets violence.
One day this kid and I were messin around and he was punching me in the arm as kids do. After the 3rd, he started trying to hurt me and I told him, "If you do that again, you will not like what happens." and I turned to walk away. He made a face, went to punch me again.
I pulled the hardcover Harry Potter and the goblet of fire and smashed all 1,000 hardcover pages into his fist with a flourish.
He started shaking his hand as if burnt instantly and I just turned and walked to class.
Dean of students came and got me, we both got suspended, me 3 days and him for two weeks. My dad bought me Ice cream.
We came back and we were seperated and put in differnt class rooms and when the dean saw I was unremorseful, he tried to make a point.
I told him I didnt know what he expected one to do when words were used and ignored and they were using violence against me.
He told me that I messed that other kids hand up pretty bad. Dislocated fingers (Yes, pleral)
His parents ended up with a pretty big medical bill and when his parents called mine, my dad said, "See you in court." and hung up on them.
We never went to court and my dad never paid them a cent.
My old bully and I ended up getting the same temp job 14 years later. I couldn’t work with her bc she would just talk and not put any of the plants on the tables, she demanded to my boss that she work inside on the Orchids (which there was no shipment of but there were 15 racks of plants with at least 4 shelves on each for outdoor plants), then just straight up disrespected our supervisor and got fired within 10 min. Oh it felt so good
In the distant past.... I worked at Blockbuster. My co-worker was promoted to Asst. Manager a few days after I started working there and immediately began to abuse her power - she'd boast about her pay raise flaunt her free time now that she wasn't always at the front dealing with customers. Everyone resented her personality shift. I left that job for something better a few months later. About a year after that I saw her working as a cashier at Walmart. She was not a manager in the red vest. She wouldn't look me in the eye as she rang me up. I had the feeling this wasn't a second job or something. She probably got fired from Blockbuster! But I'm only guessing. I walked away a little more proud of my recently acquired job at a military base as a civilian and my fat contractor paycheck.
Found bully on the street. Gave him a place to live. He got a job, married, kid, mortgage,
Got even with that poor guy.
Came across my bully while I was working at a gas station. He didn’t recognize me but i knew who it was right away. Realized he wasn’t any different now than he was then. Still a pot head. Well either way, I also realized I’m now more beefier and he’s smaller than me. Warmed my heart to realize i could give him a good thrashing the way he did back then.
Kid who spit on me back in school came into my place of work. I waited on him like I would have anyone else. Wasn't worth doing anything and I wasn't going to engage him in conversation. His mom worked at my bank, she said he was happily married, two kids, decent job in IT, the American Dream basically. I wish I could say I was happy for him, but my conclusion is I should have knocked every tooth out of his misshapen skull when I was young enough to get away with it because he sure didn't get due justice from anywhere else. I hope for his kids' sake he became an actual human being after school.
Went to a night market that was near my old middle school with my sisters. We were in the mood for street food. Saw my bully (i knew it was him cus. He lives near by that area and i recognized his voice) in raggy clothes and unkempt hair. I didn't say anything. Got into the car and told my one of my sisters that was the prick that kept slaping the back of my head whenever he passed my desk. She said "wow you were bullied by that loser?" I shrugged. We had kababs. Gud stuff.
Got added as a friend in 08/09ish buy a guy I'll call L. L bullied me in secondary school I accepted his friend request & got a message asking how I was, what I've been doing since leaving school in 2002 & congratulated me on the birth of my daughter(now 14). I said the usual I'm OK talked about post school things I did & wished him 7/8 belated happy birthdays(we share the same b'day). L apologised for bullying me I forgave him said it was in the past etc. When my mum passed in 2011 he was one of few former school mates to give his condolences & when his mum passed about a year or two after my mum did I expressed my condolences & offered him a virtual shoulder to cry on & talk through his grief(he lived in Portsmouth far from our Berkshire home county). We'll occasionally comment on each others posts & every birthday without fail message each other he'll make a friendly jab at me being 12hrs or so older & I take friendly jabs at how many hours older I am & how I look far younger then him. Over all I've had good experience with 2 of my bullies.
Danielle Wolfe was not a bully. She got bullied by her teachers. Especially, Sandra McNanny, and the school system let her parents, grandparents, and extended family mistreat her, gas light her, blacklist her, for actions of her twin sisters, she had 12, 5 to 7 of them are "in hiding"/ dead/ or living underground. Because no unfavors Johnson and Johnson's Kimberly Anne Johnson Griffin. At least now, we resolved my issues with my mentor, and well, one thing lead to another.
I played a little basketball from 4th grade to 6th. 6th grade I didn’t realize is when everyone took it that seriously. I was okay but not the best. I didn’t make the team the first go around but the coach liked me enough for me to keep up with everyone’s score and I was allowed to keep practicing with the team to improve.
One girl quits and the coach said I’ve improved so well that I could be an official member. A lot go the girls on the other team did not see it that way and treated me like absolute shit. Saying I’m only there as a fill in. When we are introduced on the court, they would not do any high fives or acknowledge me, not tell me what the play was or would change it after the coach would tell me. The coach did nothing because parents were crazy and how dare their sports stars get in trouble! The school ignored it too. But I stuck with it because I really liked playing.
One day I out scored everyone and we won a big game. I was thinking maybe that would help them treat me better. No. They ambushed me and threw me in the dumpster because I embarrassed them.
I quit after that and never talked to any of them.
We are all in our 30s now and I’ve moved away and never thought about them again for many years. However, since our home town is so small and nothing stays a secret, a couple of them still talk about how bad a sucked at 6th grade basketball.
I just find it sad at this point these grown women are still groveling about something that happened before we were even teens. As far as I knew, scouts don’t really pay attention until you’re in high school, and I didn’t stop them from continuing. None of them made it professionally though. One is a teacher and the worst one owns a decor shop in our hometown.
Just proves that bullies can change and some dont
Well then what do you do with the bullies who dont change?
Reminds me of that TV show wings back in the 90's. One of the episodes where Helen went to high school and gloated how better she is now that she's thin and married to Joe. She uses to big and the girls pick on her for that. Now those girls are spent.
My bully was my own brother (2 years older than I). Constant physical and psychological abuse. Was constantly covered in bruises because I would not give him the satisfaction of seeing me cry, which set him off more and caused him to hit harder/faster. If my girlfriends were too fat, ugly, whatever reason they were not up to his standards, he mocked me and was awful to them. If she was acceptable to his standards, he would try to woo them away from me. Real stand up guy of quality morals. Mom didn't care. Dad endorsed it because he would eventually beat the f**g*t out of me (am trans, but still only attracted to the ladies.
Constantly got to hear about how much smarter than me that he was, from the whole family. He got to repeat his senior year and graduated HS the same time I did. Then proceeded to get an OWI less than a year later. He hid from the consequences by joining the Marines. Which made him the perfect, untouchable hero because he did something with his life by going to war. Never stopped the drinking and driving, just never got caught again. Parents didn't see the irony in that they would 110% have kicked me out and disowned me if I had done the exact same thing. Any time we got together (holidays), he would find any reason to argue with anything I said, call me a retard f**g*t, you know, the regular shit I was used to. Rinse and repeat for another 20 years, to the point where I just wont talk around people because my entire life was being told to shut up because I am not my brother so could not possibly have anything to add to a conversation. Eventually went no contact with the lot of them.
Now for the 'sad' part. About 3 months ago, he was at a bar that had an open keg for some random persons birthday. Fairly certain he did not know the person, but free beer is free beer. Got over served and belligerent. Ended up getting kicked out after he was found passed out on the floor in the restroom. Instead of just walking/driving home, or even trying to call anyone to come get him, he decided to go stand on the train tracks. Some of the people there said he just stood there, others claim he jumped. Either way, he ended up getting the life blasted out of him by an oncoming train. Got a message at exactly 4:20 A.M. from my sister, 'Just so you know [brother] died tonight.' Now the 420 message felt targeted as I smoke the devils lettuce, which is somehow far worse than drinking yourself into a stupor every night. Honestly I felt far worse for the people that had to clean him up off the tracks than I did for my family, because that had to be an awful blended scent of beer, piss, shit, and poor hygiene.
Then after I skipped the funeral services because I was not going to go shit on all the positive memories that everyone, who is not me, has of him, I got another message from my sister that she really hopes we can repair our relationship because she has come to realize that, "it really doesn't matter how you *think* people should be, you should love them as they are." Like seriously, that message felt like she very much did still care that I am not going to be [dead name]? She felt that after my brain injury in 2021, she made a gofundme with my dead name, and when I wasn't going to just let her and my mom use that to pay their bills, while telling me what I can and can't do because I was supposed to be gratefully under their thumbs she refunded all that money
So when I was 24 I actually came across a bully from highschool. Me and my then wife were in a restaurant and I hear my name and immediately know who he is. He actually apologized for the past and asked me how I was doing, ended it with giving me a giftcard that paid for half the meal.
i have only been graduated for like 2 year’s or so and despite it being one of the best schools i have ever attended i don’t plan on attending any highschool reunion they hold and they can all go think i am dead or something hell i might actually be dead by the time a reunion happens if not i will be very lucky but still won’t attend because if i did i would literally have armed guards with me and i don’t want to look like some big shot when i am really not that special it’s just my line of work that has me involved with guards and stuff like that
The last two stories are hearthbreaking...
It takes a lot of force to break a marble or stone for that matter hearth so well done to O.P
My bully hated me for unknown reason, was always a jerk to me. Saw him 20 years laters, he tried to talk to me as if we were buddy, as if he don't recall hating me...he died in a stupid car crash about 2 weeks later... i can't say i was sorry for him...😏
Always so fascinating when these Bullies use Weaponized Incompetence.
The majority of them got pregnant and married right out of high school- And now have 1-2 kids. 🙃
Meanwhile I’m living my best life. Have no kids, and going to school for Elementary Education.
My bully was bullied in college so bad he came back from a prestigious college and went to a very low grade college
Urinal cake shot is the best thing I've heard all year 😂😂😭🤣
Don't get me wrong, bullies are horrible people because I've been bullied back then, and even now, I'm still kinda getting bullied. However, why do I feel like the majority of these narrators are low key saying that working at McDonald's or any kind of blue collar jobs is the worst thing in the world? It's as if saying, that these types of jobs are some form of punishments for people who were horrible. I have a stable IT job for 9 years, with a Consultant position on an international IT company, but I would never see those other jobs I just mentioned, being lower than mine or an embarrassment. Just an opinion.
Everyone views mcdonalds as a starter job. Its the place for either gaining work experience for a real job or the place for dead beats with no talent who cant or wont do better. Therefore when you meet a classmate years later and they are still at those "beginner" jobs, its a personal victory if you are in a much better position in life than they are in the same time span.
‘McDonalds is working at Hardees.’ Eh, close enough
3:26 "moved from NY where people are civilized"...this didn't age well.
School bully at high school was a teachers son...
Became a boxer, took on Australian former League player turned Boxer Anthony Mundine in one of his first professional fights... Mundane who's an ahole himself bet the shit out of our old high school bully 😆
My 10th grade history teacher who was always putting me down and calling me names (despite me having an “A” average in his class) had an inappropriate relationship with a female student. Her parents took a payoff from him to “make it go away”. It wasn’t a large amount but her family was poor so to them it was a lot. Because of the payout, she was the first in her family to attend university. He should’ve gone to prison, though! F**k you, Mr. Thompson!
The girl that physically, emotionally, and sexually abused me as a kid got a full ride to Harvard. Life doesn't always work out nicely.
Rip out her organs so it does work out nicely
My old primary school bully currently lives in a homeless shelter without a job.
