What's The Quickest Way You've Seen Someone Mess Up Their Life (Reddit Stories r/AskReddit)

what is the quickest way you've seen someone 4k their life up a guy i used to work with told me his story when i asked him why he never drove in one night he and his buddies got loaded at a club as they're walking out he noticed that there was a limo sitting outside with the motor running and no one in sight so he hops in and tells his buddies that he's going to joyride it around the block unfortunately he's so blitzed he ended up crashing it into a light pole 100 feet away pause and think about the charges that are already amounting so he gets out and starts to stumble away at which point the officer who is waiting further up the block to catch potential duis runs down and cuffs his butt then he opens the back door and about eight terrified high school students hop out turns out they were on their way back from prom and the limo driver had made the stop to swap driver shifts so in the space of about five minutes this [ __ ] was facing no fewer than five felonies and almost 20 years later still doesn't have a driver's license a month after graduating the valedictorian of my hs took his graduation money and savings and drove to california where he bought a crap ton of weed pills and sea to bring back home and sell scott caught coming back somewhere in iowa got sentenced to 15 years in prison for felony drug trafficking across state lines which makes it a federal crime if he was the valedictorian the rest of y'all must have been extra special 18 year old kid threw a brick through my store's front window and took off with 20 000 of cannabis ended up getting caught an hour later he will probably spend 20 years in prison i was playing at a neighborhood friend's house bunch of dudes riding around and walk nut a kid wanted to do a flip off a ramp on his bike he had no helmet either kid attempted it and fricked it halfway landed on his back with bike on top of him like you could hear the sickening crunch on impact we called paramedics he couldn't do anything except lay there crying my friend's mom didn't let me go home while they were loading him in the ambulance and tried to keep us inside come to find out he's paralyzed from the neck down he couldn't do anything except lay there crying jesus that's a tragic image so help listen so young a dude drove up and tried to cut in front of several people in the drive-through line of a water burger a security guard approached and told him loudly several times to back off and go to the back of the line instead of going to the back of the line the guy decided it would be a better idea to ruin the rest of his life for a burger he tried to run over the security guard who ran out of the way to force his way further into the line at this point i don't know how he thought he was gonna get away he had trapped himself in the drive-through lane he never got his burger and he sat at the window waiting for it until the police came and arrested him if he wasn't fricked already he made sure he was once the police arrived he was extremely uncooperative and had a brief standoff with them they had to tase him i'm pretty sure he got a dui in addition to whatever kind of attempted assault charges they were going to press on him oh also when they finally got him out of the car it turned out he was only wearing underwear my ex admitted to regularly raping a girl starting when she was eight years old in a phone call with the girl eight years after it started he did not know she had contacted the police and they had gotten a warrant to record phone calls he got a 45-year prison sentence some guy in my school collected nudes from as many girls in the school as possible either getting them himself from friends he put them all on a public file sharing website the link got around school and one of the girls found out and turned him in school and police launched a full-scale investigation and he went to court they lessened his child p charged to something lesser and he got two years probation and kicked out of school he got off light but such a stupid way to ruin your life and reputation group of high schoolers went hill hopping in this dude's geep two of them weren't wearing seat belts so when they hit a tree going 80 miles per hour the driver died and the other guy broke his neck and all of his limbs the worst part the driver's girlfriend was riding shotgun wore her seat belt and survived basically unharmed at least physically but now she's gonna have to vary that mental trauma for the rest of her life friend's birthday got super drunk his friend offered him a ride home when he wanted to leave he ghosted no one knew where he went he drove home or tried to hit a tree on a road with a speed limit of 30. police said he must have been going 70 they think he passed out he's not smart anymore he's forrest gump now which means he's still smart enough to know he's dumb and remember what life used to be like he can walk but he know he'll never play sports he gets upset when he forgets names he's never going to be independent and he knows it he's attempted suicide at least once since the accident don't drink and drive that's so sad to be stupid enough to not be able to do normal things while being smart enough to realize you're stupid and can't do normal stuff you used to do dang that mental torture right there skateboarding without a helmet fell suffered a traumatic

go off to college he was going to play football at a school in the next state over then he got into doing prank videos and essentially posted videos of himself vandalizing stores walking up to random people and saying stupid things to them making messes in public places etc his college football coach found the page and kicked him off the team before he even got to college since then his insta page has been taken down the kid isn't in college and i feel sort of bad but also he's so dumb why did he ever think posting videos of himself doing harmful pranks would end up well some people go for a long time without ever hearing the words no you can't do that sadly the first time this guy heard it was from this college's football coach i didn't personally see it but about eight years ago some friends in my social circle were at a party and some drunk dude had a gun and decided he wanted to play russian roulette but he pulled the trigger and shot himself in the head his family packaged it like a suicide but there were plenty of witnesses guy i knew was pointing an unloaded gun at his pregnant fiance and pulling the trigger you know just for fun cause that's something people do for fun apparently the fiance got really upset at him for obvious reasons and the guy's response is what's the big deal it's not like it's loaded then he point the gun at his own head pulls the trigger and kills himself a developer at my job here on a work visa from india was hitting on the young latina cleaning lady asked her to come to a hotel with her and then whipped his dong out did this at the

ever try that crap in the first place such a waste she was an awesome person i'm so sorry this is just so sad my friend sister was engaged to a great guy his only flaw was he was too tough to wear a seat belt crashed his car and died a few weeks later she found out she was pregnant so now she's a single mother so that's at least three lives he freaked out by not wearing his seat belt i'm a funeral director i used to work with a guy who didn't see the point in wearing seat belts said he's seen enough people dead wearing seat belts that he thought they were a con didn't seem to grasp the fact that he would only be called to rtas where there was a fatality was at a university of north dakota hockey game there was a moment of silence for the opposing team's coach because he lost a family member if i remember that correctly some idiot kid decides this is a good time to yell frick her right and the p he was publicly vilified for the rest of the year there are reasons we publicly

father stepmother step sibling and mother all under the same roof none of them worked poor bastard cousin decided the best way to end an argument with his girlfriend in the car as she's driving is to

night was all it took when i was working as a strip club bouncer a little while back i witnessed a super childish display of anger that ended very poorly for the guy dude was 23 in law school at a local and pretty prestigious university i knew this because he told us during his extremely vulgar and aggressive rant towards my partner and i called in local law enforcement due to the fact that these sorts of dudes tend to get litigious when they don't get their way and we were planning on issuing a criminal trespass warning so we could have a paper trail in case he ever decided to come back he starts to walk out the door screaming loudly at my partner calling us every name in the book while i trail slightly behind in case it gets physical he gets to the door as he is walking out turns screams of very more obscenities and throws the door shut hitting my partner square in the forehead with it he did not see local pd walking up to the door at this time and they watched the whole thing happen and immediately cuff him up my partner and i are state licensed armed security guards they write him up for felony assaulting a public servant take him downtown and book him my partner was subpoenaed and actually went to court to testify they got him dead to rights on it to kicked out of law school lost scholarship he hadn't had to repay those monies what was he upset about you might

much as she should have been she left her daughter to my aunt her mom to care for all the time she gets caught up in partying and drugs hard drugs dui's arrests etc it's heartbreaking to our whole entire family extended and all then she hit the final wall i get a call from my mom towards the end of my first year of college i remember it so vividly i was sitting in my buddy's dorm on a broken futon watching at accusaries on oak island and my phone rings i excuse myself to answer it my mom greets me and immediately tells me my cousin is dead from a rage overdose her voice was monotonous and
