How I Defeated My Father-In-Law With Tetris! | r/ProRevenge | #380

hey everybody rob here it's time for an epic new pro revenge story how a game of tetris ended years of bullying from my father-in-law let's jump right in hey did you know 53 of you aren't subscribed to the channel hit that subscribe button for more daily reddit stories i wish you were a challenge that sentence has echoed in my father-in-law's house for months now and even saying the word tetris around him causes him to turn into a ball of rage the theme song to the game makes his eyes bulge and any oddly colored boxes stacked in a random order seems to give him a ptsd like gays that would give a nom vet a run for their money okay i may be exaggerating a little bit but the funny and sad thing is not by much at all around a decade ago i met my now wife kayla in high school we ran in different circles with her more academically inclined and me not so much not that i was a slacker by any means i just didn't see the point in doing four different after school clubs and college prep classes like her even though she was a nerd she was and still is a cute nerd we didn't talk much at all the first couple years of school but by our third year we started dating an important thing to note is kayla is from a very very traditional asian family so much so that when kayla had the audacity to date a hispanic guy instead of shacking up with the eighth grade boy her father had selected her for she nearly got kicked out of her house over time kayla's parents slowly realized that i wasn't dragging her down she was still excelling academically never came home late and generally managed to stay the golden child in the house when we graduated high school kayla's family and mine met for the first time officially we sat down for a dinner and 30 minutes in her father had managed to insult either directly or indirectly every member of my family my mom was quiet my dad perpetually drunk myself filled with quiet rage and my grandparents both talking about him in spanish as he doubtlessly was in his native language nevertheless we finished dinner and everyone left on non-fighting terms 2 out of 5 stars on yelp for the food though fast forward a few years kayla is finishing her bachelor's in a science field in the bay area i'm in a different area of said bay working as a firefighter it's a longish distance but we meet up every weekend and sometimes a day or two during the week somehow we survive the college crunch of relationships and actually come out stronger for it we were in love we made it work and her father hated it her father who i suppose i'll call jasper because that name still hated me for years every time he'd see me he would pointedly ignore me unless it was to try and belittle my career or income i would begrudgingly attend family get-togethers hosted at his house inevitably the drinks would start being passed around drunk jasper would come out and he'd try and pick a fight with me while his clan of brothers and nephews held him back from actually swinging at me repeat basically the same events over and over for a few more years and that sums up our relationship i was the despised demon of a man keeping his angel of a daughter away from marrying her asian prince charming from an acceptable family so his daughter could breed 40 children and become both a perfect housewife and a lawyer doctor specializing in engineering while running a fortune 500 company point is the guy had expectations lofty ones impossible ones but still expectations so naturally i did the worst possible thing in his mind and proposed to kayla she did the even more worst possible thing and accepted seriously i still don't know why and we were set the facebook post flew the instagram picture set and appropriate texts and phone calls made naturally i completely pussied out of being there when she told her parents but in my defense i was busy busy being a massive wiener hiding in a fire truck on a volunteer day of work still busy nonetheless from what i gathered it went about as well as anyone could expect i like to make jokes that he pulled a mooshu from mulan and started saying dishonor on you dishonor on your cow but kayla doesn't like it when i make that joke but i still make that joke but it's not entirely a joke he really did say i'd dishonor his family bring shame how could he save face etc some months later kayla and i both miraculously have a week off or so at the same time kayla has a magnificent idea she's going to throw a little party celebrating our engagement where oh of course at your dad's house perfect oh right because he has a pool it's december kayla who the is going swimming fine yes grand idea let's go kayla and i arrive and in typical fashion we all start drinking and eating most of the family is happy for us besides a couple holdouts and the night goes well kayla's nephews are in the living room playing on a nintendo switch i'm a huge video game nerd kayla is still the bigger nerd though guys and decide to go see what's popping in there to my utter surprise they're taking turns playing tetris 99 to an even bigger surprise kayla's father was playing here's the rub i love tetris i bleed tetris i t spin that in my sleep and commonly debate the advantage of force stacking versus one lining with friends i'm no wombo ties at the game but i'm good like a samurai the switch controller is my katana and once unsheathed master has to forgive me because just this one time i must go all out or something like that during the years of knowing the miserable bastard that is to be my soon daddy-in-law i didn't even know he touched video games but here he was playing tetris and he was doing a great job at it i was impressed i walked up and complimented him on his game noting his repeated tea spins the family migrated towards the living room since they tended to act as a buffer between us without even taking his eyes off the screen he turns toward me and says you don't know what you're talking about i played tetris while you were still turning green you know what mr last name put your honor on the line and back your words up the gauntlet was dropped or however that saying goes we were essentially going fox only final destination on this kayla's nephew sheepishly handed me a controller while jasper stuck with the joy-cons he started setting up a game while muttering under his breath about it being a waste of time and him rather doing a million other things i'm sick of this bull mr last name i'm tired of you basically bullying me and talking about me to my face i'm marrying kayla next year we're going to be family why the do you hate me so god damn much because you're not good enough for her and i think she's making a mistake and we all know it you know what you if you beat me at this game i'll literally leave right now whether or not kayla comes with will be her decision but if you beat me i swear to you and everyone here that i'll never step foot in this house ever again you'll never have to see me again but if you lose this ends here no more badmouthing me no more petty no more of your snide comments you don't say a single negative thing about me or my family ever again by the time i'd finished saying the word you preceded by the word he was already on his feet and nearly touching my chin with his forehead i was 100 convinced i was going to get stabbed did he have a knife could he stab me with a switch joy-con just how much range would it take to lodge one of those into my brain questions for later fine no swear it swear to everyone here and put your name on it i swear it i never want to see you in my house again you sh after a few more moments of his rage we sat down awkwardly on the same two-seater couch and he finished setting up the game and so we began there is no epic struggle of good vs evil no monumental herculean task of defeating my foe or vanquishing an enemy i was no theseus and he was no minotaur just tetris blocks and more blocks in a room extremely silent with nothing but the doo doo dee doo's of the music and the sound of our controllers around two minutes into the game jasper loudly comments i wish you were a challenge apparently my block stacking skills weren't up to his standards but we still had 70 or so bots to clear through before it really began bought by bot block by block it slowly whittled down while blocks quickly fell down kos and flashing lights filled the room as the numbers slowly dwindled down 12 11 10 the music switches the blocks fall even faster jasper and i calmly stack blocks four three two it was just us i'd like to lie to you and say we played tetris for hours in a slugfest like i was rocky and he ivan drago but it didn't turn out like that it was anti-climactic he up and rapidly got stacked out busting like a virgin on prom night quickly and without any satisfaction the victory for me popped up and burned into his eyes i assume given that he wouldn't look away from the screen i had won i slowly rose to my feet turned to him and respectfully extended my hand toward him eager to squash years of animosity and hate and start planning a father-son fishing trip that's a lie i stood up and looked around while the family remained silent and unsure of what the just happened jasper seized i looked at him for a few long seconds until we made eye contact i wish you were a challenge needless to say i ruined that party kayla wasn't happy at all i was slightly drunk still and jasper had straight up walked to his room and slammed the door but to his goddamn credit i'd never heard a negative word out of his mouth again to this day he just flat out doesn't speak to me unless absolutely required nobody in the family talks to him about me but nobody in the family has ever heard him talk about me at all it's as if i don't exist i'm content with that since then kayla and i had a hilariously terrible wedding but remain happily married and in love family events are always awkward but in a good way i think who knows all i know is i like tetris i think the best part of this story is how ops always saying that his wife is a nerd despite dropping nerdy reference after reference it's a
