Swimming Bat is Like a Graceful Trash Bag and more...

Apparently the ability to fly wasn't good enough for bats. They just had to go and take swimming too. The one consolation here is that even though they can swim, they don't seem all that good at it. It's just a slow, floating "W".

Saint Nick In Holland Scares Kid Straight
 

Well, this is just a little bit uncomfortable. Poor kid saw his life flash before his eyes when grumpy Saint Nick called him out for not eating his vegetables. Maybe taking that whole shtick a bit too far there.

Employee Gets Fired, Makes Company Lose Over $100K

It's the quiet ones that you've got to worry about. Clearly this company owner needed to learn a lesson about how to treat their employees with the respect they deserve. Fortunately, this employee was up for the challenge of providing that reality check to the tune of around $100K. Ouch. Check out another juicy pro revenge tale with this auction winner who wouldn't pay up, and then learned their lesson.

1.

Text - r/ProRevenge u/hoodlvm • 1d + Join 5 4 S 3 I was fired and made the company lose over £100k So l used to work at a family run builders merchants and was a trade sales advisor. I was fired for bringing up health and safety concerns in an email sent to a manager and for the fact I was apparently "unhappy in my role". I did nothing wrong but they still sacked me. Now when I worked there I had clients that I had built good relationships with and even become friends with some of them. They wou

2.

Text - Anyway back to the revenge I was fired which in my opinion was unfair and it was during this covid 19 pandemic I had worked the entire way through it until I was fired. So I wanted revenge I contacted multiple clients/friends and most of them say okay we won't use that company if they treat the staff the way they did to me. One client easily spends over £100k a year easily in the top 3 customers they had. He used them because I would get him the best prices etc etc. As soon as l'm fired I

I don't have a copy of the email but ACAS can find it on their internal mail system as it never truly disappears. Also all any clients I contacted were friends I didn't contact a huge list of clients just a handful letting them know I no longer worked for the company they ask why I got fired and I gav

Employee Points Out Security Concern, Nobody Listens, Robbery Ensues

Sometimes, the only way that you can get through to people that seem committed to not listening to your warnings is to take matters into your own hands, and show them why they should've listened. This particular move was certainly a bold one, and we can't say we'd advise anyone to follow suit. But at least the point was proved, and the security measures in the museum were brought up to the level they needed to be at. Check out some more gold from Tumblr with this wild thread where Tumblr users go all in on "The Incredibles" analysis.

1.

Text - So my boss once robbed a museum to prove a point and honestly, I think she is my new role model. flamefriendsshipped If this gets notes l'll tell the full story fandomlovingweirdo Storu

2.

Text - flamefriendsshipped Many years ago, my boss was working at this museum and they had these original Churchill documents on display. These documents are worth millions of dollars. The only thing separating the public from these documents was a sheet of glass secured with 4 philips head screws. Seriously. No security guards in the room, no cameras, just an easily removable piece of glass.

3.

Text - My boss pointed out the security concern, but she wasn't taken seriously, so she took matters into her own hands. She bought a ticket and pretended to be a guest. She entered through the main entrance with a huge drill clearly visible on her belt, went straight to the documents and opened the case with the drill. (While wearing gloves,) she removed the documents, put them in a folder, reattached the glass, and walked out the main exit. Literally no one even questioned her.

4.

Text - She immediately went around to the back of the museum, entered using the staff entrance and went straight to her boss's office. She dropped the folder on his desk and said "I just stole these in 15 minutes" Once he was done being mad at her, he listened and the museum increased security. Source: flamefriendsshipped

Tumblr Tales that Make Everything Gothic

Every place has its own flavor of repetitive creepiness, from Poland to the Pacific Northwest. There are many flavors of gothic, including a more comprehensive tumblr thread that goes full American Gothic.

Tumblr User's Weird Debt Notice Is Scary Money Lesson

We've all gotten stupid scam calls about something being wrong with your bank account, and there are tons of scams people still fall for. This however, is something in between a lie and the truth. This person got a legit notice from someone who bought a small amount of forgotten debt and wanted them to basically reactivate it with some shadowy wording. Weird. 

1.

Text - cherryseltzer i just got a super predatory debt collection letter. it was for a $113 debt from citizens bank, who i had an account with when i was 16 (20 years ago). the letter appeared to be an offer to cancel the debt if i paid them $22.75. HOWEVER, the actual wording is, "The amount of the debt is $113.77 and we will accept $22.75." so, no MENTION of canceling the debt, but the implication is there because many collectors of current debt offer to settle for a percentage.

2.

Text - at the bottom of the letter, it says: "Because of the age of your debt, we cannot sue you for it and we cannot report to any credit reporting agency. In many circumstances, you can renew the debt and start the time period for the filing of a lawsuit against you if you take specific actions such as making payments on the debt or making a written promise to pay."

3.

Text - basically. i don't owe this money anymore, the debt is so old they can't legally sue me for it OR put it on my credit report, BUT if i take their generous offer of paying them $22.75... they can sue me for the full amount because making a payment makes the debt current. no thanks, jefferson capital systems llc. feetlips always, always read the entire letter! it is so important because of semantic awfulness like this!

Weird and Oblivious Old Album Covers

Who knew that one of the major pitfalls of making a faith album in the 60s, 70s, and 80s was that the language and art would age into being a creepy, un-self-aware album cover? It's stilted, awkward, and there is an uncomfortable amount of talk regarding "being touched by him." Maybe the hair doesn't help.

Man Repeatedly Bullies Insurance Company, Loses Everything

Anyone who has ever worked a customer service job will tell you that the gig is already hard enough without the Karens and other rude folks of the world going out of their way to make the day that much worse. This particular jerk sounds like he was going to keep being a toxic, belligerent hassle until someone served him up the reality check he needed. Oh boy, did everything come undone for this guy after that moment. 

1.

Text - r/ProRevenge + Join u/draconian1429 · 2d 3 2 3 O 5 3 2 1 NEVER bully your insurance company, or you lose your franchise Hello all. Excuse any poor grammar or spelling, I'm on mobile. TLDR at bottom This story comes from a friend of mine, Sarah, and has been building for almost 5 years until it all came crashing down over the last week. A few things to note before I get into it: Sarah works at an insurance company, dealing with a massive nationwide delivery company (her company insures all

2.

Text - • Over the years, Sarah had seen her fair share of anger from callers. Mostly justified, or people letting off steam at the anonymous voice on the other end of the phone. She's learned not to take it personal • She a absolutely despises the owner of one particular franchised depot - Dick Onto the story. We start in 2016. Dick is the franchisee of a vehicle depot for Delivery Company. Meaning he's sort of an owner, but the company CEO could take away his ownership if they feel like it. I'm

3.

Text - Dick calls in for the first time, to talk to Sarah about a claim one of his drivers is making. Something simple - reversed into a wall, minimal damage, but claiming to get the vehicle repaired. Dick starts ranting and screaming about how dare he/ his driver be expected to pay an excess (standard). Sarah has dealt with people like this all her career, so she just deals with it as she always does. And so it continues for 2 years, with Dick bullying and abusing any call handler when he calls

4.

Text - One of his drivers had been in a really bad accident. Nobody was seriously hurt, but the van was badly damaged. So while it was being repaired, Sarah organised for a hire van. Dick goes to the hire company to collect the van, and he's asked to make a £1 payment by debit/credit card to secure the vehicle. I'm pretty sure it's so the hire company can just charge it for any damage caused while on hire, and is an industry standard in my country. Dick doesn't like this. He argues with the hire

5.

Text - Everyone is working from home (yay, lockdown) and most people understand this. Everyone except Dick. He must be having a particularly bad day, because his tantrum about how useless Sarah and her company is descends into personal insults. Sarah, having an equally bad day, decides that now is the moment she will get revenge on this guy for everything he has put every claim handler through. So she requests a copy of the recording of the call (all calls recorded for safety, complaints and cal

6.

Text - 2. Dick's boss, simply stating that is behaviour is unacceptable, and the next time he tries to speak to someone at Insurance Company that way, they will end the call. 3. Every listed CEO or board member of Dick's company. She wanted all of them to know just how vile this man was. Then, today, she gets the call she's been waiting for. A representative of Delivery Company has called, wanting to apologise for everything Dick put her and her team through.

7.

Text - He also gives the best news - Dick has been downgraded from Franchise Owner to a lowly delivery driver. His lovely pay package, benefits, annual bonus, and company-funded car (a brand new Merc, for anyone interested) have all been taken away. He now earns a little over minimum wage, 60 hour weeks to pay his bills, with his reputation in tatters. If he doesn't meet the standard for delivery drivers within the next 3 months, he'll be fired. (Sarah also learned from someone she knows in the

8.

Text - Sarah hasn't yet met the new franchisee, but if I know her, she'll make it clear that she's the one who ruined Dick's life, and she isn't afraid to do it again if the new guy doesn't treat her and her colleagues with respect. Lesson: don't be a dick to call centre employees. TLDR: Dick abuses call centre staff for 4 years, loses big job, nice car and wife. EDIT: First, thank you all for liking, and especially to those of you who have given rewards. Second, I want to emphasise for those wh

9.

Text - Third, for the person who pointed out the description of 'lowly delivery driver', I should have made this more clear. This is in no way demeaning the job these wonderful people do - it's how Dick always described the position when he called. 3.7k 3 133 1, Share

Angry Ladies Can't Smell Yankee Candles, Never Consider The Obvious

Sometimes we give so many people in this world far more credit than they're deserved when it comes to having some good old common sense. Apparently, there's something of a pattern developing between the folks that go and complain about not being able to smell those Yankee candles, and then they end up being sick. Of course, all that really matters is that everyone stays safe, and we hope anyone who is unable to smell those candles and ends up becoming very sick, enjoys nothing but a speedy recovery. 

1.

Text - whitepeopletwitter Follow Terri Nelson 000 @TerriDrawsStuff There are angry ladies all over Yankee Candle's site reporting that none of the candles they just got had any smell at all. I wonder if they're feeling a little hot and nothing has much taste for the last couple days too. 5:21 PM Nov 24, 2020 - Twitter Web App 1.9K Retweets 612 Quote Tweets 17.4K Likes enidtheghost Follow this is no joke. i looked around the reviews of several different candles just in case it could've been a sin

2.

Text - ***** 3 days ago Incentivized Review No scent throw at all! This candle is very disappointing! It has absolutely no scent throw. I have now burned it on 3 Value separate occasions for several hours each time and there is zero fragrance emission. The only place you can find a scent is the jar lid. Definitely wouldn't buy again and am now wishing I did not order Quality Christmas scents this past week O No, I do not recommend this product.

3.

Text - ***** 2 days ago Incentivized Review SKIP! LITTLE TO NO SCENT While others are stating that the scent of this candle is quite faint, I believe mine has very little to absolutely no smell at all. I would have more function using it as a light than I do to fill my room with any type of aroma. Wouldn't recommend at all. Value Quality O No, I do not recommend this product.

4.

Text - ***** 3 days ago Underwhelming I smelled this in a store and it was wonderful. So i took advantage of them in an online sale and Value bought 3. All 3 have faint fragrance upon cold sniff and none upon burning. I think I'm done buying Yankee candles. So disappointing for the price paid. Quality O No, I do not recommend this product.

5.

Text - **** - 2 days ago Disappointing I had high hopes for this candle, it had such great reviews. It can hardly smell it after 3hrs of burning Value and it has an almost medicine cherry scent. Quality O No, I do not recommend this product.

Text - ***** 10 days ago Incentivized Review Useless candle This had no fragrance. I was very disappointed and I will return it to a store and switch with another Value scent. Quality O No, I do not recommend this product.

Text - *** - 3 days ago did scent formula change I used to buy my yankee candles in the store before covid and then I recently started buying them online through Yankee candles. My favorites were christmas cookie and black cherry, however, they no longer have a strong smell like they used to so has the formula changed?

Pregnant Karen Expects Friend To Change Dog's Name

Oh boy, the nerve on this one. It truly boggles the mind. We've got a Karen mom who expects someone that she met at a wedding to change their dog's name, because Karen wants the same name for her upcoming baby. Um. Wonder if she's aware that there are plenty of people in this world that share the same name. Also, wonder if she's aware that common human decency/social etiquette generally calls for not asking people to change their dog's, cat's, baby's names etc. 

1.

Green - Hello Hey jennay it's I'm at Kolby and Blake's christening. wife. We met Hi, Yeah I remember; it was a while ago now How are you and your family?

Green - Actually new baby will be a bit different to the boys.. it's a girl! That's amazing! She'll be so protected! As you know I've got nieces and they're so much fun, you're going to love it. Really stoked for yor

Text - Yeah I dont need help with cattle and we're excited to. We want to name her Tillie but it's come to my attention you have a dog named Tilly and l'd appreciate you changing the dogs name lol. Obviously she can't have the same name as a dog and we're bound to bump into each other. Yeah nah I see. Hey mate I don't think it's necessary to change my Tilly's name; I don't think you'll ever see her and I don't think anyone will notice they've got the same name anyway.

Text - I can't express how I feel right now. I'm so disappointed and let down in you jennay. People say you're a nice person but i can see you have then tricked. You don't have children you'll never understand how a mother can love and just want the best for this perfect little person... I'm honestly shocked you're being so heartless and unreasonable you didn't even consider changing the animals name for

Text - my daughters future, this is going to impact her life and potentially ruin her confidence and life. Can you even imagine growing up having the same name as a mutt? You callously have put me in a terrible position. You are a piece of work and don't deserve your good family. You are ruining a babies life. Think of what you're doing jennay. Your inaction has huge consequents I'm not going to change Tilly's name mate. Have a good one and congrats again hey.

Tumblr Users Analyze "The Incredibles" To Oblivion

Talk about an Incredible discourse. We can always count on the wandering minds of Tumblr to put their heads together, and churn out some real gems. This particular roundtable discussion centers on the infamous film, "The Incredibles." Maybe one of the best superhero movies of all time. So many easter eggs and intricate patterns throughout the film. The only question is how much of what's being discussed was intentional on the part of the filmmakers vs. pure coincidence? 

1.

Text - silverhawk honestly tho that scene in the incredibles where mr. incredible sees the names of all the old super heroes that used to be his friends / that he knew from Back in the Day and how every one of them has been killed by syndrome is such a chilling scene for so many reasons like for one, everyone he knew is dead at this point and has been killed on the same island he's at now and two, its heartbreaking bc that means that almost every hero wanted to try out being a hero again despite

2.

Text - theladyspanishes I think the core of that scene for me is, when you're insane like me and you go through it frame by frame, you can work out that Gazerbeam defeated the omnidroid twice - the only super we have enough information to confirm did so. I always wondered about his body in the cave, how and why he got the password... But it makes sense. This thing goes haywire, gets an upgrade, and goes haywire again? He must have been hella suspicious! So he does what any good superhero would d

3.

Text - swan2swan Also Gazerbeam probably has X-ray vision-so he not only survived long enough to defeat the Omnidroid, he had the ability to see Syndrome entering the password. animagix101 Holy guacamole! I should pay more attention, I don't think I got any of that stuff! nigga-kun does anyone think about the fact that now mr. incredibles has to live w/ the fact that all his friends getting killed by syndrome could have been avoided if he had just been nicer to syndrome from the beginning

5.

Text - breefolk-hates-staff ^l was thinking that from the beginning reading this and was shocked it went through so many comments before anyone pointed that out. Syndrome waited until his machine was almost ready to go before asking Bob to come to Nomanisan. He also was surprised to find out that he was married to “Elastigirl", which means he likely built his list and went through everyone else before finally deciding it was time to kill Bob.

6.

Text - gay-jesus-probably Also, Syndrome literally didn't find Bob until the start of the movie. He found Frozone and was stalking him. If Lucius hadn't hung out with Bob, then Frozone was going to be the next one lured. There's literally a scene of Mirage realizing that the guy in the car with her target is Mr. Incredible. He wasn't going through the list, he was stalking and finding every former Super he could, luring them to the island, and then killing them, for the sake of improving his rob

7.

Text - and like, let's be real here in the intro Buddy was crossing the line the second he showed up, Mr. Incredible mentioned he'd been very nice to Buddy, via signing a ridiculous amount of autographs and doing pictures and stuff, and that he was not going to risk a childs life as a sidekick (albeit in less words). Buddy literally showed up by breaking into his car, and then stalked him all evening until he was arrested. That's disturbingly obsessive behavior, there's no amount of niceness tha

8.

Text - kiokushitaka reblogging for the last comment because blaming mr incredible for the deaths of his comrades is honestly such a weird take and i dislike how it's framed as "fact" when it's not. it's syndrome's fault and syndrome's fault alone. full stop. he murdered them because he was selfish, entitled, and obsessed with mr incredible to a fanatical degree.

9.

Text - andy-the-anon You know what's really great In the beginning when Mr. Incredible says, "Go home, Buddy. I work alone." He's holding up Bomb Voyage In Syndrome's flashback, he's looking down on him, no bad guy in sight Do with that info what you will

10.

Text - bookish-actor This is such good analysis, but it's also worth mentioning the difference between these two scenes which, supposedly depict the same thing. In the first, Bob is clearly busy, trying to keep his eyes on Bomb Voyage (a fantastic supervillain name!!!), so he is distractedly telling Buddy that he is busy and that he doesn't need help. The lighting is realistic, and although he is CLEARLY fed up with dealing with this obsessive and toxic fan, he keeps an even tone and doesn't sna

11.

Text - In the flashback, it's a different scenario completely! The lighting is all focused on Bob as if he's under a spotlight and it is only the two of them. Bob's pose here is also ridiculously condescending. He has his hands on his hips like a superhero and is looking down at Buddy with contempt and scorn. In addition, when he turns to leave, he dismissively waves his hand as if saying "Get out of here." It's also interesting to note Buddy's position here. His arms are extended either in wors

12.

Text - It's also amazing to me how much Buddy's suit is a reflection of himself. Everything from the black and white color scheme representing his black and white way of thinking, to the huge S because here only thinks of himself. Bob's suit, however, is blue. In addition to being associated with a calming and rational thought process, I think it's also to represent that he's on the side of the police. He's not here for his own glory, he's essentially working as an extension of the police force

13.

Text - littlewitchlingrowan Also, let's not forget when Bob is catching Bomb Voyage and trying to keep Buddy from yeeting himself towards almost certain death, he's on his way to his own wedding. That makes two things abundantly clear: Bob doesn't have an aversion to working with other people. Remember when he runs into Elastigirl earlier in the day? She reminds him not to “forget", and he promises he won't. They were standing over a thief they ended up accidentally nabbing together, or so we th

14.

Text - than fine with a partner because he married his. The other is that, Bob is trying to protect Helen. She may be more than capable of handling herself, as she flirtatiously reminds Bob on the rooftop just hours before their nuptials. But the one thing that's priceless to the Supers are their secret identities. With Syndrome following Bob begging to partner with him, it puts Helen in danger. A fanatical fan like that can end up possessive, meaning once Syndrome discovers her, could see her a

15.

Text - Which leads me to my next point. Blaming Bob for all his friends getting killed is buying directly into Syndrome's revisionist history of Bob “rejecting" him. Remember, if Syndrome hadn't shown up to Mr. Incredible busting Bomb Voyage, none of the ensuing chaos with the bomb on the rocket boots getting dropped on the train tracks and blowing them up, causing Bob to lose Bomb Voyage, then forced to stop a speeding train, resulting in the passengers getting injured, the attempted suicide be

Text - Hero syndrome 刘 占 ☆ This article relies largely or entirely on a single source. Learn more The hero syndrome is a phenomenon affecting people who seek heroism or recognition, usually by creating a situation which they can resolve. This can include unlawful acts, such as arson. The phenomenon has been noted to affect civil servants, such as firefighters, nurses, police officers, security guards and politicians.

17.

Text - People with hero syndrome generally cause an accident or disaster with the intention of then coming in to render aid, and become the 'hero'. The reasons for this often vary. The perpetrator may be trying to validate their own self-worth, or be seen as brave by others. In this way, hero syndrome is comparable to Munchausen syndrome. For example, an arsonist may start a house on fire so they can rescue the people inside, in an attempt to garner the respect and gratitude of the victims and a

18.

Text - korben600 A couple of things: The reason Syndrome found all the other supers first (including Frozone) was because Bob kept getting fired from his jobs, forcing the government to wipe his existence from multiple companies and forcing his family to move each time that happened. He unintentionally saved his family by forcing them to relocate so often. - Two of the biggest differences between the two versions of "go home, Buddy" is the focus, and length. In Mr Incredible's version, "Go Home,

Text - much more important because those were more important to Mr Incredible (since the first two ended the superhero movement, and the last was his wedding). Buddy, on the other hand, only flashes back to "Go home, Buddy". Which is weird because Buddy almost died later that night from a bomb on his cape, and he almost killed dozens of people on a train by dropping a bomb on them, and because of that, he was indirectly responsible for the death of supers. All three of those things should be muc

20.

Text - - Also, on a more sobering note, some have brought up how Incredibles 2 seems a step down from Incredibles 1, and while that's arguable, there's some related bits in there l'd like to mention. You know how there were a slew of superhero's in the movie for when they made superhero-ing legal again?

21.

Text - Notice anything funny about that lineup? Anything at all? Okay, here's a hint then. How many of these heroes were working before heroes got banned? How many of these new heroes are from Mr Incredible's era? Answer: None. Frozone, Elastigirl, and Mr Incredible are the only ones who were active before the ban, or more specifically, were left from those active before the ban. Think about it, Elastigirl was on the news basically continuously, there was a UN declaration on supers, any super le

22.

Cartoon - And it's not like she and Bob were loners who never interacted with anyone, look at their wedding day, it's packed to the gills with capes (and possibly some secret identities too): So...what happened? Syndrome happened. This isn't just some serial killer picking people at random, Syndrome systematically wiped

23.

Text - out an entire community of people, arguably, an entire generation of supers, since Violet, Dash, and Jack-Jack seem to be the only kid-supers in existence. That's why Elastigirl is so emotional when she's introduced to these new supers, she thought her people, barring her family and Frozone, were wiped out by Syndrome. And in a way...they were. Nobody's left from her era of superheroics. None of her old friends survived. It's just her, Bob, and Frozone left out of what was once a thriving

24.

Text - one by one until the population is decimated. The members of the community have to intervene themselves to slow/stop this "syndrome" because the government, which was supposed to protect them, is unaware of, or is blatantly ignoring the crisis until it starts hurting the "normal" community. Because of this "syndrome" th just this gap in this community, where an entire generation is just..missing...with the few survivors having to counsel the new, untouched generation, and helping them ach

25.

Photograph - And take a look at that wedding shot again.

26.

Photo caption - Anyone look familiar? If it's to hard to tell, at least four of the people Syndrome killed were at Bob's wedding. Mr Incredible wasn't watching supers getting killed, he was watching his friends getting killed. People he trusted enough to share his secret identity with people he trusted enough to share his wife's secret identity with. Hell, our poor boy Gazerbeam got a front row seat with Edna and their NSA agent that's usually reserved for family only.

27.

Text - And that's bad enough, but something else occurred to me, Bob and Helen clearly haven't been keeping in close contact with their superheroic friends, Bob asks Frozone if he's been keeping in contact with Gazerbeam, implying they haven't talked in a while. Additionally, Bob's life, and the superhero community's life, went tits up basically immediately after his wedding night. So if there was any point for them to stop talking with other supers, it'd be then. So what does that mean? It mean

Man Takes Nuclear Revenge On Karen Landlord

Shady and greedy landlords are the absolute worst. There's no denying it. What we have here though is a totally different kind of terrible landlord. This particular landlord put their tenant in harm's way with an inconsiderate demolition project, and a whole lot of other bad stuff. If you're looking for some more juicy landlord revenge drama after reading this tale, check out the time a landlord tried to keep a security deposit, and then a petty revenge ensued.

1.

Text - r/ProRevenge + Join u/hasad802 • 2d 1 2 3 3 5 1 Refuse to pay $60 to fix my roof; okay; I'll close your building site down and cost you hundreds of thousands of dollars! Names, places and timeframes have been changed as per rules. Characters in this story: My friend (Who I will call Brian), Bullying demolition man we will call Keith, greedy property developer we will call Karen and the insurance assessor.

2.

Text - This tale of this nuclear revenge happened a while back and is a work in progress. It is too good not to tell and I will try and keep you updated down the track. Brian's neighbour is a typical greedy career landlord that left their rental house in disrepair. The poor tenant was living in the cold house, raw sewerage leaking on to the lawn and holes in the house that you could see light coming out of the house. After multiple requests from Brian, Karen refused to get any repairs done. When

3.

Text - Brian and his wife with their limited funds were able to get sufficient lending from the bank and offered to buy the house and do it up themselves to improve the neighbourhood or rent it out as there is a massive shortage of rental properties in our local county. Greedy Karen did not want to sell, nor did she want to spend a cent on the house to remedy the rodent problem. She also did not care about the effect the house was having on aesthetics of the street.

4.

Text - (It is important to know that Karen and her wealthy family have over a hundred rental properties and due to lax tax laws in this region, they do not pay a cent and can get tax write offs when their properties deteriorate then can claim on this as a loss- Long story short, some of them appear to be leaches on our society and are one of the reasons property prices are so high and rent prices are sky rocketing in our area. Her Husband is also the chairman of the states landlords association.

5.

Text - Fast forward five years and Brian finds out the house is going to be demolished to make way for some new houses to go in on the small section. That's good news at least, though Brian and his wife were anxious about how smoothly the demolition would go due to the fact the houses are quite close to each other. This is important for later: Prior to demolition the company doing it had to get samples from all sides of the house to check for asbestos. Either Karen made it difficult for the comp

6.

Text - Demolition day came around and Brian was concerned that no safety barriers had been put up to protect his house from falling bricks of the chimney nor was there anything from stopping dust and debris going all over his new deck and porch area. Later that day, Brian had the pleasure of meeting Keith. Keith is the demolition company manager that is well known around the district for only caring about money and has little regard for people or property. Keith was doing the demolition himself

7.

Text - Brian phoned up demolition man Keith to ask about what went wrong. Keith initially played down the damage... despite there being 200 bricks laying on Brians roof. Even with the damage done, no apology and the rude attitude of Keith, Brian kept his cool. "Since I did a little bit of roofing when I was younger, I can fix up the roof if you just get me four new sheets of roofing iron and we will call it even. Don't worry about paying for paint, I can sort that out when I paint the whole roof

8.

Text - "Not happening pal, your roof is f*cked anyway, Il'll get you a sheet of second hand roofing iron from my yard to repair the the damage on roof and I can come and hose off the dust off your deck and dog kennel". Queue the nuclear revenge. The revenge was not intentionally nuclear but Brian had a dilemma that his roof was damaged and he needed it repaired, there was rain and snow forecast later in the week and he shouldn't be out of pocket having to buy new materials to fix his own roof up

9.

Text - Brian got in contact with his insurance company and due to the issue involving a roof, a building assessor arrived that day to assess the claim. The assessor would then be able to seek damages from the landlord or demolition company if he found them to be at fault. Brian also reported the demolition company to the local health and safety authorities due to their lack of safety precautions used when doing the demolition. The assessor got on to the roof with Brian and was mortified to hear

10.

Text - "Luckily thanks to covid we already have masks on Brian, this here looks like it is asbestos... I don't know how they got the sign off to get this house knocked down in this manner. You don't know at the time of being exposed to this stuff but if you breath in these fibres it can cause serious diseases later on in life including lung cancer. I'll get this sent off to the lab for testing and will be in touch".

11.

Text - Fast forward another day and Brian was contacted by his insurance company. It turns out the side of the house that wasn't tested was clad in asbestos. Not just any bad asbestos, the worst possible type you can get. Insurance will be seeking damages to replace Brians whole roof not just the damaged part. The cost of replacement is likely to be around $20,000 USD. This is the cheap part. The demolition site has been shut down by local authorities and there needs to be a massive decontaminat

12.

Text - The cost for this clean up will likely be in the hundreds of thousands of dollars but who will pay for this is unknown at this stage. Whether it is Keith or Karens insurance or them personally, time will tell. In regards to Brian, his family and their dog potentially being exposed to the asbestos, that is another battle for them to fight and I will keep you updated. brief update 1 I have just been on the phone to Brian for half an hour. His work place were very sympathetic and paid for hi

13.

Text - Brian is worried now that the landlord is going to try make his life hell. She is also a lawyer apparently. Karen was the person that offered the old roofing iron apparently not Keith. She spoke to her husband who said that because the bricks dinted the roof it means it must have been rusty and old so doesn't need new iron put on. Keith did however go nuts at Brian for getting insurance involved and also the health and safety investigation unit who are currently doing the investigation. I

14.

Text - Brian asked the investigation office person by phone about what to do about his dog and if they needed vet checkup etc. They were 1m away from the fence which is about a foot from the asbestos when it was broken up. They responded saying "do you think your dog will live more than 20 years? if not I probably wouldn't worry". Brian is also thinking the landlord is probably scheming revenge of her own. Brian paid for a new fence himself a few years back to border Karens rental as when he mov

15.

Text - Brians plan is that he will pull the nice expensive fence down entirely and put 600mm high chicken wire mesh up as this is all that is required by law and there is nothing she can do about it legally as he paid for and built the fence. I will continue to keep you all updated. Also as I know the local newspaper editor I have offered to go with Brian to discuss this story with them once the investigation is completed if Karen tries to make life difficult and also expose Keith for his dirty

Karen Objects At Son's Wedding
 

As far as the Karen meltdowns go that we've come across, this cringeworthy video with Karen objecting at her son's wedding absolutely takes the cake. This is basically a Dr. Phil episode waiting to happen.
