r/ProRevenge - Never mess with a rancher

I grew up on a horse ranch in Colorado we had a long piece of property about 80 acres and we raised Missouri Fox trotters we had lived there for almost 20 years when some folks bought a strip of property we're at the back of our land it was a strange plot of land as it was very narrow and was sandwiched between our back fence and a busy county road we were surprised anyone would buy it actually as it forced the house to be pretty close to said Road while we never meet these new neighbors until once day my dad gets a notice from a lawyer telling us that after having surveyed the property lines our back fence encroaches on their property between three and six inches depending on the spot along the fence line these folks had never met us never introduced themselves our first introduction was this legal demand my father was a salt of the earth kind of man very kind but also very strong-willed he called these folks arranged to meet our and tried to talk some sense into them first at three to six inches really matter that much and why had they not come to us to talk it through he even offered a number of different compromises these folks were hostile from the get-go they demanded he move the fence immediately or they would sue apparently the law stated they had to put their house so far away from our fence line and they wanted to push it as far back from the road as they could when they built it so they wanted that six inches very badly I still remember when my dad got home from the meeting he hung his hat up and shook his head when he told my mom in his slow way well looks like we got the kind of folks for neighbors you don't ever want to have for neighbors they sued and won and we were forced to move the fence in two weeks I say we because I was the free slave labor as all farm kids are in this kind of thing all that fencing material and the time were a big cost for my family but we got the work done in early spring here is where the fun comes in so the new neighbors broke ground and built all through the end of winter and into spring the very next weekend after they had moved into their house dad rousted me out of bed and we took the big truck into town to the lumber yard I was extremely puzzled as we loaded up a bunch of sensing material and building supplies we didn't have any big projects going that I knew about and I kept asking him what it was for but he just told me to wait and see with a devilish smile on his face we build a pen and a small enclosure very near our back property line directly behind the neighbors new shiny house the next day once of our farm friends delivered a half dozen pigs to their new home dan insisted on feeding those hogs table scraps and all the things that would go in the composter as well as some good balanced hog feed to keep them healthy now you may not know this but the smell of pig excrement is directly related to what they eat and their pen table scraps make them smell bad I mean barred I had to drive the full Wiener back there every day to take care of them and within a month halfway there and my eyes would start watering it smelled so bad when we mucked out the pen with the Bobcat we also made the pile right next to the pen I can't even imagine how bad the smell was living in that house the neighbors of course freaked out and again without ever even trying to talk to us went the legal route they lost the area was zoned agricultural and my dad had done his homework to make sure he was breaking no laws or regulations the pigs were far enough from us and our other neighbors that it didn't bother anyone but the people he wanted it to bother come fall when winter moved and we sold the pigs to slaughter and dad stacked up a bunch of building supplies next to the pen and let the neighbors know we will be expanding the profitable operation in the spring when they came up to scream at him he smiled the whole time speaking in his slow steady way the new neighbors sold their new house in January when the ground was frozen and the new owners would not smell the pen though as soon as the old neighbors were gone we tore down the enclosure spread the nasty stuff on a hay field and the new neighbors never had any bad smoke come spring they also were great neighbors and are still lifelong friends never mess with a rancher [Music] so I like to bring my own food into the office and we have a fridge to put things into and I have my food in tubs with my name on them a cow walker would sometimes not see people's names on food and think it was this so would heat it up and eat it and then apologize they did this enough for it to be an annoyance but not enough for our employers to really care this has been happening with my food for once or twice a month last month I had enough and I like spicy food but don't bring it into the officers sometimes I'll let people try some of my food and my cooking I ordered a bag of ghost chili peppers and put the full bag into a big pot of chili that would last for several days I took this into the office and had it for lunch every day midweek my lunch went missing and I was waiting for the person who was stealing my lunch get a shock when they ate my lunch what happened in reality was someone got sent home sick and the next day they were off and I was told they went to the doctors for stomach pains two weeks went by in the Kalka who was off refused to talk about it and said ours was involved so I knew they were going to try get me fired I went home and ordered another bag of ghost chilies and made another batch of my chili this time with only one chili in a single tab I put this in the freezer and the following Monday I was told I had arouse meeting that day I refused and said they need to give me 24 hours to find someone to come into the meeting with me and the next day I had my manager come into the meeting and brought in my now heated ghost chili infused chili the long and short as I was told I could be fired for trying to poison the person who was stealing my lunch and I asked if they admitted to stealing people's lunch which they did I then said I have a batch of the chili in question with me and I like spicy food my liking spicy food shouldn't stop me from having it at work since CID doesn't smell when heated like fish and my manager agreed it was on the person who took my lunch without knowing how spicy it was and I should not be held liable if they eat something of someone else's that doesn't agree with them my manager and I then take some of the chili and offered it to the other people in the meeting some of which tried it and agreed while it was I see it was clearly what I liked as I was fine eating it the meeting ended and nothing happened I wasn't taken into another meeting and my lunch wasn't taken anymore but the person who had still our lunch got a slap on the wrist and was allowed to stay at work lunch has started to go missing again so my manager went to ours to say that lunches we are going missing and he knew who was taking it and had proof this time and when they asked for the proof he presented the meeting record with the line highlighted where they admitted they had stolen lunch in the line where ours had said this was not what the meeting was about they were fired the next day for theft of property and told they would not be given a reference back story in the early 2000s I worked for overpriced CD store I really liked my job aside from one cow walker Karen we just didn't get along I made the best of it but she was a borderline bully of course she gets promoted to key holder and proceeds to turn into a full-blown powertrip bully she made my life hell and a job that I previously loved I couldn't stand any more I made a formal complaint that made its way to ours but I was done working there which was her goal of course when I was investigated my claims they found she and the assistant manager were dating hoops and she was moved to another store since fraternizing was against policy apparently she didn't like that store and quit a few months later I was happily working at the funked bookstore and who gets a job at the defunct bookstore at another mall Karen over the next few months she proceeds to do little things to annoy me like hanging up when I would call their store for a customer or lead me on hold forever of course I would get in trouble for not effectively handling the customer with their needs the revenge about six months into the job I heard through the grapevine of store gossip that Karen had been injured in a car accident apparently she had hurt her back and went on medical leave she couldn't stand for more than ten minutes at a time without excruciating pain this is important she was on indefinite leave and her store could not hire anyone to replace her while on medical leave leaving them short-handed and I knew her manager was really annoyed after a few months two months later a few friends of mine and I decided to go play pool a former cow walker brick from the overpriced CD store was there Rick man too bad you weren't here last night it would have been a reunion Carol and assistant manager were here playing pool meet Karen was playing pool Rick oh yeah they come in every Wednesday night me really that's interesting every Wednesday huh how long has this been going on Rick a few months now yes for the entire time she was on medical leave Karen was out playing pool once a week not at home and debilitating pain like she claimed the next day I went to her defunct book store and asked to speak to the manager I told him all about her weekly pool sessions and encouraged him to be at the pool hall the next Wednesday night to catch her in action that Thursday she was fired the last time I saw her she and her friend were attempting to follow me home from work I called the police and lead them into the police station where they told her to leave me alone or be arrested she stayed away from me after that so a few decades back I was involved with a group of guys with a little money and we wanted something substantial to invest in we decided to buy a restaurant franchise I will not even say what kind as that could identify me well everything was going along swimmingly until my partners backed out I unfortunately was the face of the group and my signature was on the bottom line so I got stuck with running the place it soon became apparent that there were a lot of inconsistencies the big number one was that the sales in the Prospectus were nowhere near what was being generated then there were other things customers calling for their regular order well it turned out that my particular franchise had been used for the past several years to deal grass and various drugs the former manager had made some serious corn and was not happy that I had purchased his place well life is not fun when you have just some six figures and the like effort is that you have flushed it down the toilet however I was not going to be trifled with first I called the accounting firm who signed off on the prospectus the partner in charge was taken aback they had never signed off I presented myself in their offices and spent the next few hours with them in their attorneys their name could not be associated with something fraudulent next I wanted my money back and the chief franchisor told me that they would immediately put mine up for sale but the market was not quite as high as it was when I bought it less than three months previously then the prick had the audacity to demand that I paid up for my last order from the commissary something else to consider I took the price list provided by the central commissary that we as franchisees were compelled to use buying fruits vegetables cheese and meat from outside the system would be accompanied by fines from the franchisor I marched myself back to the accounting firm and asked for a bit of analysis turns out commissary prices were from 10 to 300 percent higher than market in other words the franchisor was not interested in food they were interested in turning around franchises well that little report found its way into the hands of 20 local franchisees suddenly the Central Committee was not being used the district manager starts showing up writing fines turns out the district manager is the guy who was supplying the manager of my franchise I have him on discarded VHS security tapes selling so I take the tapes to the accounting firm for secure storage then I go to the franchise's offices I lay it on the line that I have their district guy selling drugs in my restaurant they laugh at me until I tell them that I'm the one who supplied the report to the rest of their franchisees oh and by the way we are starting an action against you I then showed them that we had placed lian's on the building they earned their commissary their homes and their vehicles I said I have enough to put you guys in jail so their mental Giants syd me down write up a little release and go get me a certified check for every dime I put into the franchise I agree to the release however they do not realize that the gouging and the evidence is still in the hands of others all they succeeded in doing was to get me off the list of owners suing them well the case came to court and who do you think was on the stand giving a complete rundown one of them stood up in court and said didn't we pay you to shut up no you refunded me the money you stole now there had 19 other guys taking them apart I heard one of the franchisee cried when they took his Porsche his wife left his soon thereafter if you enjoyed the stories slap the like and subscribe button for more of them and don't forget to
