Reddit, what's your "If I'm going down I'm taking you with me" story? r/AskReddit | RedditJar

serious people have written it what's your if I'm going down I'm taking you with me story I was rock climbing and this guy who was my Bellaire for the day was kinder dick well no surprise dick would spends most of his time flirting with a cute girl who is friendly but seriously not into him he gets chewed out by our lead from not paying attention which means he continues to not pay attention as he is incapable of picking up cues well there's me 25 feet or so off the ground with my rope slack and feeling my hand slipping because I am just running out of steam now having told him three times to pick up the slack I look down and see he's completely ignoring me to chat with this girl again my mistake was looking down as I reached to readjust my weakening hold and slip the Rope shoots out of his limp sausage-like fingers and I began to fall I know a pro Polly tied off rope shouldn't do that I don't know how any f ked that up to my only thought is if I'm going to fall I'll damn well land on him well I did I landed straight on his cushy ass or body I was barely injured he was taken to hospital after having 80 odd kilos land on him from two stories up I never happened to see him at that rock climbing club again one evening at home I hear an awful racket going on somehow involving my house I figure it's going to be a home invasion rather common here I grabbed my gun and a spare magazine switch off the lights and find a central position where to make my stand thinking I'm gonna take as many with me as I possibly can a minute or two later the noise ends with a stone on stone bang and is replaced by the pitter-patter of tiny feet in the ceiling the best I can figure is a rat tried to get in and got stuck between two roofing tiles the noise was really out of proportion agda nexushaus when i was young only one guy got caught hold the entire rate of us down that one sucked you know what they say snitches get a reduced sentence in exchange for cooperating with authorities while simultaneously bringing down his whole crew dirt and stitches growing up my best friend and I got in trouble for cutting up brand-new expensive jeans to make shorts Herman was rightfully screaming at me so I said what about her daughter she asked me to unhand it me the scissors and got us both grounded so at least we could sit together in her room law how does your friend's mom ground you just leave I worked as a mechanic and tow truck driver for this man I had a class A CDL I could drive any class truck and was a master mechanic but my specialty was older cars with carburetor anyway he had a contract with a major moving van company where people can rent a truck to move themselves this man would go on a service call where a customer left the lights on replaced the batteries charged rental company for new batteries take the batteries he took out a van recharge them and do it over and again rental company was paying for new batteries that were not new they had been used over and over saw him once taking new tires off a rental truck that fit his tow truck when I left I called rental company and told them when I was a little kid my mom made me hold her hand to cross the street out of Publix ya know as parents do she slipped on a wet spot on the street screamed [ __ ] kkoma and yanked me down with her then she had some kind of misfired reflex and slapped her hand over my face to try to cushion my fall I guess dirt at the time I thought my mom was randomly trying to assault me or smth right in the goddamn parking lot dogs must feel the same way when you get up in the night to pee and accidentally hit them with your foot to them you got up in the middle of the night just to hit them and walk away I was bullied by an entire great at one point in school there were primary instigators sure but everyone else joined in at the drop of a hat so it's fair to say I was not happy with pretty much all my peers well at one point we went on a class camp trip everyone from our grade went at one point a group of us went into the woods as part of a supervisor activity and almost everyone broke the rules on going out of bounds I didn't want to cause I was a bit of a rules person but I got attacked and physically pushed out of course the adults found out everyone broke the rules and started asking questions but everyone clammed up i ratted all of them out no one escaped punishment it was the nuclear blitz of ratting out I had names I had places they went I had details and they were kids so they lied badly so I got many of them caught in lies to the adults chose not to believe me when I said I'd been dragged by everyone else so I took the fall too but it was worth it we all lost privileges and a taste of freedom kids like us otherwise wouldn't experience again I ruined that and I loved every second of it in seventh grade my teacher decided to use process drama to teach about the Holocaust he told us we can hide anywhere in the building and if we successfully evade him looking for us we will get a bunch of extra credit conversely if we are caught we will get five points for each other classmates we rat out I hid successfully in the computer class under a spare TV card that barely fit me my soon to be not friend had chosen poorly in the same room and was easily found upon walking outside clearly remember him yelling wait yams is in the corner under the cart I can't remember being so mad at someone ratted out for a mere five points I yelled at him and DEF overreacted the lesson being a processed drama that was kind of the point to experience the fear and potential rage at your neighbors for ratting you out for those of you who don't know this lesson style is to give the student firsthand emotional connection to whichever content you'd like to teach it's incredibly effective TLDR I was taken down along with the classmates and lost extra credit dad pushed me into the pool but before I fell in I grabbed his arm IRA I did the same to a girl I used to work with it was a cold rainy day and I went to pass her on the dock we worked on and she gave me a shove in desperation to catch myself I grabbed a handful of a shirt and we both went in we taught sailing lessons and she had changed into normal clothes for the day but I had not her reasoning for pushing me in was I still had my suit on so it was okay f-ck Eugenia I hope your drive home in wet clothes sucked my next-door neighbor kept picking my plum tree dry when I would go out of town so I cut it down out of frustration no plum jelly for anyone should have just pissed on them before you left and told them when you got back or told them when you they moved years later in third grade my friend told my crush I liked her so I told everyone he put higher finger in his ass he didn't but I had a reputation for never lying so they believed me evil punishment doesn't fit the crime did you friend ever live it down and were you even friends after that Hey the ass finger has started it if someone trusts you with who their crushes than you don't blab it everywhere yeah I mean you never know whether Opie is accurately representing the full situation but on the other hand the other guy fingers his own ass cell Opie is probably in the right I once worked for a startup company and they missed one of my paychecks it wasn't a gigantic deal to me because they were a bit strapped for cash and we had a big release coming soon and I was decently paid anyway so I just said [ __ ] it double quote they then fired me two days before release making it sound like I had been inadequate despite zero indication from the matter I was such before that day and x200 B so I made the proper legal arrangements to recoup my missing paycheck and told them I'd be going to labor and Industry I had already filed a complaint because if they were going to fire me after I worked 70 hours a week for over a month to try and meet their deadline out of nowhere I sure as f-ck wasn't going to cut in the slack of an entire paycheck I got my paycheck they went out of business because they were corrupt and had been misusing investor funds for years before this unbeknownst to me and I laughed my way to the bank when I was stationed in Korea my sergeant threatened to tell command I was drinking underage fortunately I had pictures of our squad drinking and he was present so I told I would show them to command if he told on me [ __ ] P ssy by the books and curse when I was in Korea my company commander and first sergeant found me in the bars on my first day in the company and I was still 19 we shook hands bought each other drinks and had a good time can't get my head around a legal system that says you're old enough to risk your life for your country but too young to drink so years ago me and my sister would always go down to the apartments they were building by my house because we would play hide-and-seek we had previously seen people on the job and just decided to make a game of it hiding and seeing if we could mess with them we always thought it was just fun and games since we had never gotten caught or in trouble so we took her boyfriend at the time to go have fun with us and eventually my sister and I got caught by our worker and he called the cop over who was there already for safety reasons I think and as her boyfriend was running away to get into the woods nearby I yelled for him to get his ass over to us and the cop had to chase him for a second I mean we were all in the range of 11 to 13 so we were young but I wasn't gonna let him leave and get scot-free when I was in trouble so I was playing this video game Sabrosa and the start of every session you take a commuter train into the city well the games still in early dev stages so there isn't actually any door on this train meaning people can push you off of this moving train I think you know where this is going so I'm minding my own business when this kid decides to grab me by my collar and starts trying to get me to the door well I grab onto his collar too and say looks like this is your stop and jump out carrying him under me as a cushion for my fall he didn't survive which for my sakes was a good thing there was this kid who was snitching on me because I had gotten into a fight with an upperclassman over my family's divorce but I knew this kid was dealing weed so I snitched him as well like come on who the f ck snitches that's just low if you snitch me you're in for revenge my sister and I are really close we have these days where we sleep in the same bed because our mum told us we can we were up sleeping late talking about girls would talk about when they can't sleep tease each other here and there we both have a keen sense of when our mum would come in the room and check if we were sleeping one time our mum had came in the room we both decided to fake sleeping fingers I am a very ticklish kid our mum pretended to go out by opening the door and closing it's in just staying in the room one of my foot was outside the blanket and my mum had an idea she decided to tickle my foot I giggled and she scolded me saying go to sleep estrada your sister is already sleeping dot I knew my sister was awake and immediately thought that I'm never going down alone and replied but sister's name is awake too and proceeded to tickle her too she also giggled and mum just fess up armed and told us to go to sleep and went back to her room sorry sis if I'm going down I'm bringin ya with me to hell my dad got booted from the church he was a deaconess for hooking up w a 25 year old and said [ __ ] it all boy exposed all the dirt on everybody in the church exposed me as gay the one old guy in the back having a porn addiction the woman who ran Sunday school for hoarding snacks meant for kids nobody was safe I got into a hair of trouble as a teenager with some other teams my age from the neighborhood something not overly serious happened one night and they all tried to leave when the cops showed up which would have left me holding the bag because of where I lived and the fact that someone knew me I gave a couple of them a choice one person stays and we ride this out or you guys leave and I protect myself at their expense not my proudest moment but I wasn't about to take the heat alone had an ex-girlfriend who when I broke up with her for being manipulative and abusive insisted on doing everything that I did so that I'd have nowhere to go without her being there this was stuff like inviting herself to my friends parties attempting to befriend my friends independently of me regularly still messaging my family taking shifts at work to work same time as me I had two plausible options throw my own social and work life under the bus for a chance to recuperate myself and get into a good headspace or keep having a social life and get into some awkward of f ck interactions this girl had made my life impossible for months I Carraway with a panic disorder and [ __ ] and I'd had a massive anger boiled up that I'd never taken out on anyone so I grew a pair and started turning up to everything anyway the pure appearance of me drove her mental and she started threatening to falsely accuse me of sh t to my friends and threatened to fight a girl she thought liked me long story short I made many many enemies who believed her but she made many many more cause she'd threatened so many people with so many things in a game of Risk there were three of us left I obviously was not going to win the game but I could have survived a bit longer instead I canna kz-- against the guy who was in the lead and weakened him enough that the guy in second was able to finish him off the next turn or two this was over 20 years ago and he is still upset with me justifiably so mine isn't actually mine but it's my great-uncle's and it's also super literal so he goes he and his friends we playing near a lake with a hill that overlooks it and like who'd expect from late teenagers they were all jumping off it for fun good stuff at one point my G uncle was prepared to jump off when his friend pushed him now it was only a gentle push just made to make him jump and/or lose his balance so he falls this backfired horribly for the prankster however because my G uncle before falling completely managed to turn around grab the prankster shoulder and drag them both down into the water they both popped their heads above water dying of laughter along with the rest of the group one time my sister wouldn't stop waking me early up on the weekends for no reason for like three months straight I finally had enough and started waking her up on weeknights so at like 3 a.m. on school nights every time she would stop to fall back asleep I'd wake her up again after two weeks she told me that if I didn't stop she tell mom I went then I'll tell her about the weekends double-quote we both stopped after that but man was she pierced in my school about 95% of the kids are middle class upper middle class and many were really wealthy unfortunately I wasn't one of those and both my parents had under aa ball low-paying jobs so one b tch of a teacher was very very against me she would deliberately ignore me because I was poor she would always comment about money and once she said charactering book has a very large amount of wealth due to circumstances and like my name she would be touchy with the other students not in a creepy way egg touching their shoulders when she looked over at their work asking for high-fives etc but came to me and looked disgusted I wasn't dirty or anything and still washed regularly anyway she would deliberately give me a crap mark and because I did so badly I had to go into ice for a day I thought f ck it and I went to the head with my problems and told him about it he had a neutral teacher remarked my latest work and it was a lot higher than what it was before although I couldn't get out of ice something to do with records there were super apologetic and fired the teacher I was working at a shipping company it wasn't difficult just moving sh t around warehouse had an idiot co-worker that drove the forklift always acted like he was about to run me over with it one day this waste of me comes in drunk I call him out on his [ __ ] he legitimately tries to run me down and skewer me with the forklift so I grabbed up a length of pipe we stored PVC pipe and he drops a crate shattering some and told him in no uncertain terms that and I quote you come at me on that f king thing again I may die but this is going through your f king throat double quote he comes at me anyway I stand my ground and jab like I said I would ended up with a gash in my side from the forklift but he had to have emergency surgery because while it didn't pierce it sure as sh t knocked something loose in his throat he got fired I got his job late to the party but still wanna share Mario Kart 8 Deluxe comes out and I have my friends over to play it they don't all play Nintendo as much as me but we are all pretty equal in the records we do a pre and it comes down to the final race all four of us had been practically neck-and-neck in the races and I was about to claim victory on the final lap with two friends behind me in one in last place he gets a blue shell and launches it to take me down so I do the only action I can I wait a tad then I stop and I back up all three of us ended up in places behind fifth and I was the only one who ended with a smile still on my face when I was in grade 10 we were assigned to do some report in science class the two girls I was assigned to work with were lazy and dumb for background I knew one of the girls as she used to be in my elementary and used to bully me cause I was a keener what she didn't know is that I chilled out more in high school with that said chin was my best subject and I had almost 100 in the class but those two were just passing anyways to get back to the story this was the final project and if we did well on this it would count for 30% of our mark and the final would be only 10% but anything under a seventy meant that the project would be 10% but the final would be 30% so since the girls didn't contribute I did not hand in the project the teacher found this weird for me but I just kept making excuses until they forgot anyways come two weeks later they get the news they had a zero they confronted me and I told them they didn't do f ck also I didn't either said both of you are now failing and I still had an 80 so have fun in here next year like expected they both failed the class and I got 95% on my final my single friend was dating a married car one night he decided to take a single girl he was seeing to a restaurant turns out his married girlfriend was with her husband at the same restaurant when his married GF saw him with another girl she completely flipped she ran over to their table screaming oh is this your new [ __ ] did you tell her you f ck me at lunch every day and on and on her husband is standing there shocked he had no idea apparently she was so mad at her bf for going out with another woman that she completely outed herself in front of her husband just to let his new girl know he was taken my friend said he just got up and left the two girls to compare notes before the husband grew a pair not sure what happened with the married couple but my friend ended his relationship with the married lady and the single one dumped him the next day not sure if this counts but in high school I played quarterback and started my freshman and sophomore year junior varsity when I moved up to varsity my junior year I was a backup which is fine but I didn't see eye to eye with our new coach he said he'd give me laying time but one day pulled me into his office and said he wouldn't be doing that he gave me an ultimatum either I go down to JV again and be their quarterback or I don't play and stay on the bench I said cool okay I quit he was like um what his assistant coaches were begging me to stay and said they'd stop me at any position I wanted but at that time I enjoyed running track more anyways now here's where the taking you down with me comes into play the next game or so the starting QB gets hurt and guess who has no backup QB he was subbing randoms in and was so desperate my friends told me he considered looking for a QB in the stands needless to say they lost that game badly he apologized to me years later Butler I really enjoyed that when I was in grade six I waited all recess to use a swing right when it was my turn a kid that year younger stole it and I asked him to get off politely but he didn't get off I got really pissed and tried roll the seat under him to get him off forcefully then he got up and punched me in the ribbon then face I didn't really feel it though the fact is we both got in trouble part of me kind of knew something like this would happen when I pushed him off it's not super serious but in high school my senior year I checked out mentally my school took a tendons third period as in that would be the class that if you missed they would call your house so basically I would leave after third period anyway first and second period before Calculus BC and I had an exam one day I lived walking distance to school and on the day of the exam I knew I was gonna fail just happened to be the case that I saw someone in my class on the way to school and I knew he was going to cheat so instead of giving them the opportunity to cheat I ran ahead of him and made it to class before him to take the seat near the smartest guy in the class when the classmate I passed on the way to school showed up he went directly to me and told me to give him that seat I told him that I knew he will cheat and so if I'm going to fail he'll also have to fail I wouldn't budge so he was forced to sit somewhere else and we both failed I don't like to cheat on exams it makes me anxious when thinking of getting caught so I was gonna take my ell but also take that guy down with me sort of in the middle of this kind of thing right now my boss threatened that if I ran off his favorite worker that he'd shut the business down there are a number of vital functions that only I can perform in that office nobody else is even close to being trained to do them he's allowed me to become too important this is not a negative thing I'm looking for a job when I leave he'll have to close down truly when I was a kid I was at a Chinese restaurant sitting next to my uncle as he put his teacup down he spilled some of the tablecloth so I laughed at him he last to then he takes my teacup and depends it on the table in front of me then says to my dad hey look at this mess double quote I mean that's it's normal to make a mess in a dim sum restaurant but still when I was a teenager my second job ever was at journeys my manager was terribly irresponsible he would leave me alone at the store even though he wasn't supposed to do that he kept the back room a mess so that merchandise would get lost back there and our inventory would be off he'd steal commission from our sales by wringing them under his name but most egregiously he habitually turned a blind eye when his friends would shock lifts when they visited our shrink rate was sky high like thousands and thousands of dollars of merchandise missing from a small store in a suburban mall when he finally got caught he implicated the whole staff so they fired literally every one I was devastated I had a hard time getting another job after that for a while turns out getting fired from your second job ever for being implicated in a shoplifting scheme is a really bad look I hope that guy is still rotting in retail hell thanks a lot ray [Music]
