What's The Fastest Way You've Seen Someone Ruin Their Life? (r/AskReddit Top Stories)

what was the fastest way you've seen someone ruined their life couple of guys in my hometown were looking for something to steal so they could sell it to buy drugs they come to a house where no one was supposed to be home and one guy gets out of the car and goes to the house to steal a grill a friend of the home er went to happen to be there and came out when he stepped onto the porch he tells a friend that he is looking for his dog so the guy walks out into the yard to help look for it the would-be robber panics and pulls out a gun and shoots the man in the back of the head at 21 he started a life sentence for a really stupid murder huffing paint my college buddy was an affable stoner type who likes psychedelics weed and drinking he was broke so he got into huffing paint over the summer he passed out with a plastic bag full of spray paint over his face and ended up depriving his brain of oxygen and is now mentally disabled due to brain damage like drooling slurring can't tie his own shoes or perform basic life tasks level disabled a group of boys at my high school did that after school they haft got in a truck and left school the driver passed out at the red light at the closest intersection went through the red light and hit another car the driver died another passenger in his truck was killed and the driver of the other car he hit was killed the three other passengers in the driver's truck also had serious injuries the other driver was a young mother and beyond / guardian of another student who had lost his parents earlier in life it was so tragically stupid saw a guy slide down a stair rail and fall backwards 12 feet onto a concrete floor died at the hospital less than 24 hours later from college student to dust in less than a day pretty quick guy from my school went to rubber corner shop at knifepoint he pulled up with his push bike went into the store and threatened the shopkeeper with a knife to give him all the money in the register the shopkeeper refused and the robber was too Posse to do anything so he grabbed a pack of gum and ran out 20 minutes later the robber realized he left his bike Hinde in his panic so he went back to get it this was at the same time be police were questioning the shopkeeper on the incident they swiftly arrested him there and think he got two years for stealing gum at knifepoint my half-brother decided it was a good idea to try and rob the restaurant he worked at didn't wear a mask or try to hide his voice in any way at the time he was hopelessly addicted to crack so he obviously wasn't thinking straight when he convinced his dealers GF to help him out she secured a gun for him and he was dumb enough or desperate enough not to check it and didn't realize it was a BB gun they did manage to get out of the restaurant with $7000 but the dealer and his very large friends were waiting for them when they came out they beat the crap out of him took the money and left him unconscious for the police he got seven years in prisons were armed robbery and grand larceny he did manage to kick his drug habit in prison though in less than five years one of my cousin's was married twice to two equally horrible people and blew through to inheritances he and his first wife trashed a house my grandmother let them live in for free and got mad when she asked him to pay for repairs he is now completely alienated from family including his parents and disowned this happened to my brother has walking home and his buddy pulls up in a new car and asks if he wants to go for a ride he gets in and they pull into the gas station and the guy said he had to go in and pay my brother is sitting there when multiple police cars clip and surround the car guns drawn the friend had stolen the car and robbed the gas station and went out the back took 15 minutes took months to convince the police he was innocent kid I went to high school with used to break into homes in his neighborhood to steal funds with his younger brother they always did seem to have a couple of screws loose but never thought they were capable of hurting anyone then one night they robbed the wrong house as they were sneaking into the kitchen the owner of the house came in for a late-night glass of water and caught them in the act unlucky for them he also was a former Marine they got into it but one of the kids had a knife and started repeatedly stabbing the dude in the head they ran off after that but the next day they were arrested one is still in juvy five years later the other was sentenced to 30 years in state prison edit owner of the house is apparently still alive but suffers from a lot of mental issues now I saw a guy in the highway blew past me in a lifted truck doing about 120 to 130 miles per hour hit a concrete divider he was being chased by a state trooper if say that was the fastest way I've seen someone ruined their life whoa I heard a lady in in South hit a motorcycle waiting in the left turn lane heard the crunch and then saw the scene across a large intersection she was texting of course and didn't even see him or slowed down he looked like a pile of rags about 30 feet from his bike and she hit him so hard that his helmet came off I don't know how he turned out but vehicular homicide seemed a likely outcome for her my sister and her husband started doing crack both lost their job they lost their house moved across the country with their kids who hated them for their big four cups sister decides to get sober after getting a DUI husband kicks her out for it she moves back with nothing but the clothes on her back and gets sober kids move out to be with her a year later she gets a life in order and is now in the process of buying a house husband works now just to support a drug and alcohol habit while living in his mom's house so even though she ruined her life pretty bad for a while she managed to get her shoot back together my dad's coworkers brother was playing with a gun that he thought was empty he pointed it at his friend's head and pulled the trigger which killed him instantly it wasn't empty and he got about ten years which is why you don't keep your finger on the trigger never point it at something you don't intend to destroy magazine out and make sure you see with your eyes that the chamber is clear every single time you pick up a firearm one of my friends ordered crack from the dark web where him from it's not something anybody ever really does it's unheard of really anyway fast forward six months and has the most vile person you could ever meet he dragged another friend down with him he went from an engineer to stealing and backstabbing in about a month heartbreaking dots to crack a few years back one of the students attending the University I work at got caught trying to sneak a shoot load of drugs into a local nightclub the first we found out about it was when some police officers turned up with a warrant to go through his room and I was the lucky person chosen to go at them in so I opened the door and oh dear Lord there's drugs everywhere if you have ever seen one of those old to me pick n mix shops with all the sweeps in big glass jars imagine that but with pills and wraps of powder instead everything else was all super neat and tidy and it was one of the cleanest student rooms had ever been in just that every flat surface had a container full of drugs or some other sort of paraphernalia on it this student was in his fourth year of master's degree and due to finish in three months he ended up being charged with possession with intent to supply and since a lot of the stuff he had in there was Class A is now going to be in prison for a decade or two he was also expelled of course and will still be on the hook for pound 60 K of student debt afterwards drunk driving guy crashed his car ran from the scene was tracked down resisted arrest assaulted a cop blew way over and in two hours went from kid to convict a guy I know decided one day he was going to rob someone now this guy has never owned a gun or anything and never really was into robbing people he just sold weed so he decides to get a gun and go rob someone he didn't test the waters nothing just jumped right in a few hours later he's arrested and his bail is set at $70,000 he's awaiting trial currently but his ass isn't getting out charges are robbery first degree possession of stolen property under $1,000 possession of illegal firearm possession of marijuana with intent to sell way to go dude you freaked up bad didn't even last a day on the run born-again Christian teen met a druggie who's got her into drugs wound up pregnant decided to get married as it was the right thing neither of them could hold down a job and they had six more kids decided to find God again and move around doing ministry work while homeschooling their kids edit the finding God was not a saving grace for them it was the only way they could come up to care for their family they are still doing drugs crystal meth over to five months my long ago neighbor had a naughty crotch rocket beautiful classy home furnishings and a great job only to end up with a folding chair and nothing else very sad to watch he was a nice enough guy before the fall I once knew someone who swapped university courses midway through so that he could become a teacher in a subject he was more passionate about we were pleased for him he was really excited and it all got off to a great start he eventually completed his degree and qualified as a teacher in that subject however he is no longer a teacher why is that well turns out he had six with two underaged students and verbally harassed them afterwards there was a failed third attempt he then fled to Italy for some reason he has no connection there effect to escape justice eventually turned himself in and was arrested when he arrived back in the UK just shy of three years in prison although he was paroled at around the halfway mark ten years on the UK sex offender register with a supplementary sexual harm prevention order SHPO which controls his interaction with young people and from teaching for life apparently that wasn't all I heard other gossip about his behavior in the classroom which was deeply troubling but not criminal so nothing was done I have no idea what he does now people have seen him spoken to him but he doesn't speak of what happened no idea what he was thinking or what he initially set out to achieve did he go into teaching so that he could do these things ordered his mind somehow warp a bit later on this kid at my school University just recently stole a pickup truck attached to a hotdog stand where everyone goes to for drunk food oh yeah he was drunk he blew her 18 and

house and he killed himself in the woods out behind his house he had laptops full of videos and pictures in Jakarta to say the least luckily the wife was retiring at the end of the year anyway so she didn't have to live with the shame at the school I felt so bad for her though she and the kids were investigated and knew nothing about it people hide their demons well I guess a friend of mine was

some personal decision-making skills get from my old school robbed a betting shop with him a Chetty for a measly 200 pounds his face got caught on CCTV and he was caught by feds later that day hiding in his own garden shed with the money and went straight to jail all what a freakin weapon worked at a casino in my hometown in high school saw a guy in there fairly regularly playing slots and he was super nice all the time however I came to find out that he had a great job two kids and a wife but he lost it all because of his gambling addiction he had nothing left after his wife left him and he spent the little he did have on slots really sad don't gamble folks I've seen several things on social media where someone ranted very rudely about people or gave much less than respectful response to people on social media and then got fired as a result that in turn gives you a reputation that other employers tend to find and consequently make sure you don't get hired at their businesses either basically don't be an [ __ ] or at least don't be one online I know a few people that have dropped out of school at ridiculously young ages some never even went to high school all of them have shoot jobs and are just generally miserable as much of a meme as it is stay in school you don't have to do anything extraordinary just graduate with the bare minimum it's so worth it in the long run yeah at the very least finish high school it's not like a ton of places are going to hire a fourteen-year-old so unless you literally have no other options left to survive stay in school higher education it depends I personally wish I had never tried and wasted all those years and instead went into the job market immediately after high school co-worker of mine started doing crystal meth went from a very promising career to rock bottom in 17 days lost his wife kit and job now has homeless and stealing anything and everything now obviously this wasn't overnight but eventually his habit tore him to pieces our best guess was he started using at least four months prior to getting fired this is a long and complicated story but here's a short summary this all happened in the span of about six months a friend of a friend started dating a new lady immediately after his divorce she was clearly more interested in his money than anything else and was generally mean and an instigator of problems but he didn't see that regardless of how many times people warned him he'd been dating for a bit and because she had young children they were older her late thirties in late 50s and his lease was up soon she convinced him that they needed to buy a house together she got him to give her his portion of the down payment on the house in cash he handed over 80 K which was actually most of the total cost then she didn't put his name on anything because his credit wasn't as good as hers she convinced him to buy all of the furniture painting flooring and other stuff her excuse for that was claiming that she was going to pay for some remodeling and a new roof which the house didn't need that she lied about she also convinced him to give her the money for all of those things in cash when the house was nice and ready he lived there for about two days before she dumped him she said all this face of her face there's nothing in writing between them there's no paper trail there's no text messages there's no witnesses it just looks like she paid for the house which is in her name and that's the end of it he has no recourse lost all of his savings depression a suicide attempt which led to a lost job had to move back in with his ex-wife working on mana sobbing hey Justin a contractor showed up to the network shop and on his first day got fired he showed up and asked where the snack room was got very upset when he was told there isin't a snack room well Google has a snack room dude you're on a military base in the middle of nowhere wok literally next door to the chow hall and grab a candy bar if you need one about an hour later he asked whether nap room was again got very upset when he was told there Ison to nap room so upset that he started throwing chute around and we had to call security forces he was forcibly removed from the base and banned by the commander his first day I can't even imagine how hard that destroyed his head career since the company had to fly him home the day after they flew him him no one was gonna hire that guy after that this dude got hired to work with us he had all sorts of scabs and just had bad luck to him everyone knew he had a problem with math his excuse was he was a prospector and has scabs all the Frick over himself from rocks hitting him anyways he opened up to me one day at lunch about how his trying to get everything back on track his wife is hooked on oxy most of his money went award that cause she was hopelessly hocked for about four months he was doing great his skin cleared up he got some color on his face he was sort of a different person one day we go to lunch at Waffle House and while we're eating this thuggish looking dude approaches us and offers us some meth sorry for having to drop the classiest sentence of all time on you like that in like hell no but my coworker is like let me get your number next day no call no show never heard from him again a month or so later a coworker comes in he saw the dude begging on a street corner and took a pig watched someone join the military and within a year got married to his GF of four months then within two years had a daughter and twin sons he hates his wife but they have kids together as home now but he is miserable and she is miserable and the babies are happy but only because the daughter is two and the twins are one give it a few years and I'm sure the kids will be miserable too the worst part is that his parents were together for far too long and he knows the toll that can have on the kids but he wants to be just like his dad even though the dad says his biggest mistake was waiting so long to divorce the mother an acquaintance realized some strange things were going on with her finances found out her husband discovered gambling and got hardcore addicted very quickly maximum doubt all their loans and credit cards reopened and maximum doubt a dohman joint business accounts from a decade earlier hubby even stole this on summer job money everything she owned was gone a recovering heroin addict line you had been clean for eight months she relapsed and lost her relationship the place she was staying would have been permanent if she stayed clean and her kids all in one day a friend in high school was popular good-looking dude could have been a model really really smart got accepted to an Ivy League school and all he had to do was make sure he passed all his classes and he was in well the last week of senior year he had a math exam and all he had to do was just show up and write his name on the exam the teacher had it set up where you get at least a 40% just by writing your name he just couldn't get a 0% or else he wouldn't pass the dip shoot decided to skip his exam and go get high instead failed the exam in the class and couldn't attend the Ivy League school he eventually spiraled over the years into drugs and dead-end jobs it's been 15 years since high school and last I heard he's still living at home he could have went places in life but decided to get stoned instead there were a couple of people who my sister went to school with that tried to do drugs either they were doing it at school or on school property because they were expelled this world would be very bad but it happened about three weeks before they were going to graduate apparently it was bad enough that they were not allowed into any schools in the state I believe [Music] [Music] [Music]
