1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,320
Speaker 1: Mom invoices me for the cost of raising me as

2
00:00:03,360 --> 00:00:05,400
Speaker 1: a child. Fine, I have a plan.

3
00:00:05,720 --> 00:00:08,440
Speaker 2: I mean, listen, we've heard some Karens and parents doing

4
00:00:08,480 --> 00:00:09,520
Speaker 2: some crazy things.

5
00:00:09,560 --> 00:00:10,959
Speaker 3: This one we haven't heard before.

6
00:00:11,000 --> 00:00:14,400
Speaker 1: And that's very probably pretty expensive, because like the average

7
00:00:14,400 --> 00:00:16,400
Speaker 1: cost of raising a kid is like five hundred thousand

8
00:00:16,440 --> 00:00:17,320
Speaker 1: dollars in a lifetime.

9
00:00:17,440 --> 00:00:19,279
Speaker 3: Insane. It's just hilarily more.

10
00:00:19,360 --> 00:00:21,520
Speaker 2: I'm just imagining his mom opening up quick books and

11
00:00:21,560 --> 00:00:25,560
Speaker 2: be like, all right, invoice number forty seven swimming lessons,

12
00:00:26,200 --> 00:00:28,840
Speaker 2: two million dollars for raising my child.

13
00:00:28,880 --> 00:00:32,680
Speaker 1: All right, Well, let's see, our household always revolved around money.

14
00:00:32,760 --> 00:00:34,760
Speaker 1: Even though my mom made more than enough money and

15
00:00:34,800 --> 00:00:37,240
Speaker 1: we were not struggling by any means, she complained about

16
00:00:37,280 --> 00:00:40,479
Speaker 1: every single thing she had to buy for us everything, food, clothes,

17
00:00:40,520 --> 00:00:44,000
Speaker 1: medical expenses, toys, laptops and phones, school guys, every ding.

18
00:00:44,159 --> 00:00:46,559
Speaker 1: We always knew exactly how much we were costing her.

19
00:00:46,600 --> 00:00:49,280
Speaker 1: We didn't dare ask for the unnecessary things like leisure

20
00:00:49,320 --> 00:00:52,640
Speaker 1: activities or expensive toys or hobby supplies. We started working

21
00:00:52,840 --> 00:00:56,080
Speaker 1: very young, and she manipulated and guilted us into giving

22
00:00:56,200 --> 00:00:58,680
Speaker 1: all of our money that we earned to pay off

23
00:00:58,800 --> 00:00:59,520
Speaker 1: what we owed.

24
00:00:59,800 --> 00:01:01,280
Speaker 3: What do you do if your mom did this deal.

25
00:01:01,200 --> 00:01:04,720
Speaker 2: Like maybe like food and like clothes like baic basic

26
00:01:04,880 --> 00:01:06,800
Speaker 2: like basic food, basic clothes, basic shelter.

27
00:01:06,840 --> 00:01:08,720
Speaker 3: It's like I didn't choose to be bored. I didn't

28
00:01:08,800 --> 00:01:09,080
Speaker 3: do that.

29
00:01:09,319 --> 00:01:11,240
Speaker 1: Maybe you should have wrapped it if you didn't want

30
00:01:11,240 --> 00:01:15,319
Speaker 1: all these expenses. When I turned eighteen, she completely cut

31
00:01:15,360 --> 00:01:18,720
Speaker 1: me off financially, but kindly offered to let me rent

32
00:01:18,760 --> 00:01:21,319
Speaker 1: my bedroom but kindly offered to let me rent my

33
00:01:21,400 --> 00:01:24,720
Speaker 1: bedroom out for her wow, and sent me an invoice

34
00:01:24,720 --> 00:01:29,120
Speaker 1: of every cent I've ever cost her, totaling over seven

35
00:01:29,319 --> 00:01:33,839
Speaker 1: hundred thousand dollars. She built me for Christmas and birthday present.

36
00:01:33,920 --> 00:01:36,319
Speaker 1: She even builed me for her medical expenses for the

37
00:01:36,360 --> 00:01:39,319
Speaker 1: pregnancy and delivery, and wanted me to back pay rent

38
00:01:39,319 --> 00:01:41,000
Speaker 1: to live in the house from birth. She did the

39
00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:44,200
Speaker 1: same to my sister two years later when she turned eighteen.

40
00:01:44,240 --> 00:01:47,160
Speaker 1: We were supposed to pay her back over time, starting

41
00:01:47,160 --> 00:01:49,320
Speaker 1: the day we each turned eighteen.

42
00:01:49,760 --> 00:01:53,480
Speaker 3: Oh's crazy, Actually that's maybe.

43
00:01:53,520 --> 00:01:56,280
Speaker 2: I mean, the concept already is just off the charts,

44
00:01:56,320 --> 00:01:58,840
Speaker 2: but the fact that she kept track is even crazier.

45
00:01:59,080 --> 00:02:03,480
Speaker 2: And she charged four the pregnancy and the backdated rent.

46
00:02:03,520 --> 00:02:04,880
Speaker 3: It's like birthday presents.

47
00:02:05,160 --> 00:02:08,120
Speaker 1: Oh, my God doesn't know how to give birthday presents?

48
00:02:08,160 --> 00:02:10,280
Speaker 1: Does she do that with all our friends too? It's like, Hey,

49
00:02:10,320 --> 00:02:12,200
Speaker 1: I gave you this birthday present. You can have it

50
00:02:12,240 --> 00:02:14,720
Speaker 1: for five years, and then I expect something of equal

51
00:02:14,840 --> 00:02:15,400
Speaker 1: or more value.

52
00:02:15,440 --> 00:02:16,320
Speaker 3: Here's my invoice.

53
00:02:16,440 --> 00:02:18,360
Speaker 2: What if she was sort of like, I hope you

54
00:02:18,919 --> 00:02:21,520
Speaker 2: enjoy that place, that little kiddo, because it's gonna cost you.

55
00:02:21,600 --> 00:02:24,880
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, Like both of us were still dealing with

56
00:02:24,919 --> 00:02:27,920
Speaker 1: a lot of internalized guilt from her constant manipulation.

57
00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:30,480
Speaker 3: So we actually did pay for a while.

58
00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:34,840
Speaker 1: No, aside from necessary expenses, our entire paychecks were going

59
00:02:34,880 --> 00:02:37,160
Speaker 1: to her. We rented our bedrooms in her house, and

60
00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:40,480
Speaker 1: she separated her food cleaning supplies, cookware, and tableware, et

61
00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:42,080
Speaker 1: cetera from ours and.

62
00:02:42,080 --> 00:02:43,560
Speaker 3: Charged us to use them.

63
00:02:43,680 --> 00:02:47,400
Speaker 1: She generously included the use of the household appliances in

64
00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:49,400
Speaker 1: our rent. And it wasn't until I was twenty one

65
00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:51,919
Speaker 1: and my sister was nineteen that enough people told us

66
00:02:51,960 --> 00:02:55,400
Speaker 1: that this whole arrangement was unhinged that we finally snapped

67
00:02:55,400 --> 00:02:57,440
Speaker 1: out of it. We moved out together and stopped paying

68
00:02:57,480 --> 00:03:00,920
Speaker 1: our mom or even contacting her at all. Holy moly,

69
00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:04,160
Speaker 1: I want to know from you, who's the ahle, who's

70
00:03:04,200 --> 00:03:06,720
Speaker 1: the angel? I've never heard of this in my life,

71
00:03:06,720 --> 00:03:08,800
Speaker 1: But John, what would you do in this situation?

72
00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:11,560
Speaker 2: Also, if anyone has been through an experience, Oh yeah,

73
00:03:11,639 --> 00:03:13,679
Speaker 2: I know there's some crazy moms out there. I mean,

74
00:03:13,960 --> 00:03:16,920
Speaker 2: just where to beget your own mother inflicing you for

75
00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:18,000
Speaker 2: your own birth.

76
00:03:18,160 --> 00:03:20,640
Speaker 3: I mean, it's it's just the birth is the craziest.

77
00:03:20,680 --> 00:03:23,399
Speaker 3: It's just beyond imrehension.

78
00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:25,680
Speaker 2: And also the fact like Op was doing it for

79
00:03:25,680 --> 00:03:27,839
Speaker 2: like three or four years, from like eighteen to twenty one.

80
00:03:27,880 --> 00:03:30,280
Speaker 1: I mean that is like just shows like the level

81
00:03:30,320 --> 00:03:33,239
Speaker 1: of manipulation that you can have from birth and you

82
00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:35,640
Speaker 1: don't even realize how your childhood is.

83
00:03:35,640 --> 00:03:37,160
Speaker 3: Until like a bunch of people are like, dude, what

84
00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:37,640
Speaker 3: the fuck?

85
00:03:37,800 --> 00:03:41,920
Speaker 2: It's scary. So in conclusion, Mom is the a whole horseshore.

86
00:03:44,320 --> 00:03:50,600
Speaker 1: I intentionally sabotaged my group project so these freeloaders would fail.

87
00:03:51,040 --> 00:03:53,800
Speaker 3: Okayop, this is Okayop.

88
00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:56,119
Speaker 1: I'm Samuel Donner and I'm John from and we tell

89
00:03:56,160 --> 00:04:00,720
Speaker 1: the funniest stories on the Internet. And John, I got

90
00:04:01,040 --> 00:04:04,240
Speaker 1: a super cool thing from Amazon recently.

91
00:04:04,360 --> 00:04:05,920
Speaker 3: Oh what did you get? I want to see it?

92
00:04:06,040 --> 00:04:13,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, I will I will preface it by saying

93
00:04:13,960 --> 00:04:17,000
Speaker 1: that it makes me feel very dignified.

94
00:04:17,200 --> 00:04:24,159
Speaker 2: Dignified, Okay, And the thing with Sam is if he

95
00:04:24,200 --> 00:04:27,240
Speaker 2: tells you bought he bought something you you truly don't know.

96
00:04:27,160 --> 00:04:28,159
Speaker 3: What it what it's going to be.

97
00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:37,200
Speaker 2: Wow does and it works like it's a real.

98
00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:39,280
Speaker 3: Early wow.

99
00:04:39,520 --> 00:04:42,640
Speaker 1: And I feel just like so official, Like I feel

100
00:04:42,640 --> 00:04:44,080
Speaker 1: like a I don't know.

101
00:04:44,080 --> 00:04:47,520
Speaker 2: Your entire elegance literally leveled, like like before like you

102
00:04:47,520 --> 00:04:49,680
Speaker 2: were wearing the jacket, but now that the jacket feels

103
00:04:49,720 --> 00:04:52,520
Speaker 2: like a piece of elegance somehow, and.

104
00:04:52,600 --> 00:04:54,960
Speaker 3: It's like it's like I can think of that. Yeah.

105
00:04:55,040 --> 00:04:57,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, like I feel like I feel like I can

106
00:04:57,320 --> 00:04:58,640
Speaker 1: make better decisions.

107
00:04:58,839 --> 00:05:00,760
Speaker 3: Oh definitely right.

108
00:05:01,400 --> 00:05:07,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, Well, at some point I will let you shy

109
00:05:07,520 --> 00:05:25,560
Speaker 1: this out. Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful pipe. But although, but although

110
00:05:25,600 --> 00:05:31,880
Speaker 1: this pipe is quite dignified, sometimes when you're surrounded by

111
00:05:31,920 --> 00:05:37,800
Speaker 1: others who don't share those same qualities of refinements class,

112
00:05:38,440 --> 00:05:44,800
Speaker 1: you have to do some unclassy things and maybe some sabotage.

113
00:05:45,120 --> 00:05:51,280
Speaker 1: I intentionally sabotaged my group project so these freeloaders would fail.

114
00:05:53,440 --> 00:05:56,560
Speaker 1: I was inspired by another post which triggered the heck

115
00:05:56,600 --> 00:06:00,160
Speaker 1: out of me and resulted in this post. So there

116
00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:02,159
Speaker 1: was this college project where it was assigned to a

117
00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:04,440
Speaker 1: group of five we didn't know each other. And I'm

118
00:06:04,480 --> 00:06:06,960
Speaker 1: convinced teachers do this not so we learn how to

119
00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:09,599
Speaker 1: work in groups, but rather so they have to only

120
00:06:09,640 --> 00:06:13,120
Speaker 1: mark six papers instead of thirty, just making it.

121
00:06:13,080 --> 00:06:14,200
Speaker 3: Easier for the natures.

122
00:06:14,320 --> 00:06:16,240
Speaker 1: Yep. So let me tell you a little bit about

123
00:06:16,279 --> 00:06:19,680
Speaker 1: this group. One of the other four showed up to

124
00:06:19,720 --> 00:06:23,839
Speaker 1: one of our team meetings once. The others never showed

125
00:06:23,920 --> 00:06:24,960
Speaker 1: up at all.

126
00:06:25,720 --> 00:06:28,240
Speaker 2: Geez, guys, like, calm down, stop, you know you don't

127
00:06:28,279 --> 00:06:30,800
Speaker 2: have to god, guys.

128
00:06:31,480 --> 00:06:34,320
Speaker 3: The one who did show up brought no work, no laptop,

129
00:06:34,480 --> 00:06:35,440
Speaker 3: no pen or paper.

130
00:06:35,920 --> 00:06:40,160
Speaker 1: Was just there sitting looking into my eyes with a

131
00:06:40,200 --> 00:06:46,080
Speaker 1: look that only a half brain dud mouse could Everyone

132
00:06:46,120 --> 00:06:48,200
Speaker 1: had a specific section to work on, and we were

133
00:06:48,240 --> 00:06:51,960
Speaker 1: to present in class as a group throughout the term.

134
00:06:52,160 --> 00:06:54,400
Speaker 3: This is a whole term project, by the way, whole

135
00:06:54,480 --> 00:06:54,960
Speaker 3: last term.

136
00:06:55,160 --> 00:06:57,640
Speaker 1: Throughout the whole last term, we had a Google doc

137
00:06:57,680 --> 00:07:01,240
Speaker 1: where we could upload our work. One signed on once

138
00:07:01,400 --> 00:07:06,159
Speaker 1: and did nothing else. One asked one question, saying, what

139
00:07:06,279 --> 00:07:06,920
Speaker 1: the happen.

140
00:07:06,720 --> 00:07:08,839
Speaker 2: This is even about?

141
00:07:09,160 --> 00:07:12,560
Speaker 1: One said, this is stropper and I'm not doing it.

142
00:07:13,280 --> 00:07:17,000
Speaker 1: The other one copy and pasted from Wikipedia, and that

143
00:07:17,520 --> 00:07:21,840
Speaker 1: was the contribution of the other four group members. Everything

144
00:07:21,920 --> 00:07:24,720
Speaker 1: was divided evenly, and every week we were to check

145
00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:28,040
Speaker 1: in with our professor in regards to questions or problems.

146
00:07:28,720 --> 00:07:30,760
Speaker 3: I didn't hold back.

147
00:07:31,560 --> 00:07:33,600
Speaker 1: I simply asked, what would happen if I only do

148
00:07:33,720 --> 00:07:36,520
Speaker 1: my part because the other four were flaking out and

149
00:07:36,560 --> 00:07:38,240
Speaker 1: not even coming to class.

150
00:07:38,920 --> 00:07:45,440
Speaker 3: Her response, We'd all fail, so dumb, so fine. I

151
00:07:45,520 --> 00:07:46,080
Speaker 3: did everything.

152
00:07:47,040 --> 00:07:50,520
Speaker 1: Day of the presentation, they all showed up for the

153
00:07:50,560 --> 00:07:55,520
Speaker 1: first time ever. This project was worth forty percent of

154
00:07:55,560 --> 00:07:58,680
Speaker 1: our great Wow. The class had a copy of the presentation,

155
00:07:59,080 --> 00:08:01,560
Speaker 1: and the professor had had a line by line version

156
00:08:01,880 --> 00:08:04,160
Speaker 1: of what we were going to present, as well as

157
00:08:04,200 --> 00:08:08,760
Speaker 1: a written report. I gave the introduction and let the

158
00:08:08,800 --> 00:08:12,280
Speaker 1: other four present their parts. They never once asked to

159
00:08:12,280 --> 00:08:14,680
Speaker 1: see any of it or read any of it beforehand.

160
00:08:15,040 --> 00:08:18,080
Speaker 1: They were just going to present on whatever.

161
00:08:18,640 --> 00:08:19,080
Speaker 3: Okay.

162
00:08:20,280 --> 00:08:24,440
Speaker 1: The power point was just a photo, no text, and

163
00:08:24,560 --> 00:08:26,800
Speaker 1: none of them had anything to say. One tried to

164
00:08:26,800 --> 00:08:29,400
Speaker 1: sum up my introduction, and he looked worse for trying.

165
00:08:29,640 --> 00:08:33,560
Speaker 1: The others simply refused to go to the podium. What

166
00:08:33,640 --> 00:08:36,800
Speaker 1: I did not do was put text on the PowerPoint

167
00:08:36,840 --> 00:08:39,760
Speaker 1: for any parts, which means I had to memorize my intro,

168
00:08:40,120 --> 00:08:43,800
Speaker 1: my section, and the conclusion. In my support for the conclusion,

169
00:08:43,840 --> 00:08:46,560
Speaker 1: I summarized what they were supposed to say, so it

170
00:08:46,640 --> 00:08:50,160
Speaker 1: made sense. The written report only had my name on it,

171
00:08:50,320 --> 00:08:54,079
Speaker 1: and I included an indendum for the other four people's contribution.

172
00:08:54,160 --> 00:08:56,800
Speaker 1: In total, it was a print out of our work

173
00:08:56,920 --> 00:08:59,920
Speaker 1: on the Google doc which had all their names in contribution,

174
00:09:00,480 --> 00:09:03,600
Speaker 1: including plagiarized Wikipedia section.

175
00:09:04,760 --> 00:09:07,880
Speaker 2: And I'm also imagining just like the comment of like,

176
00:09:08,480 --> 00:09:10,880
Speaker 2: what the F is this? This is stupid? Just yeah,

177
00:09:11,040 --> 00:09:13,480
Speaker 2: just sold for everyone to see in the addendum.

178
00:09:13,880 --> 00:09:19,040
Speaker 3: This was the only contribution. My group was pissed.

179
00:09:19,400 --> 00:09:21,680
Speaker 1: They were pissed at me for not including the text,

180
00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:26,000
Speaker 1: or specifically for screwing up their parts. They didn't even

181
00:09:26,120 --> 00:09:29,320
Speaker 1: know the topic of the presentation, let alone what they were.

182
00:09:29,160 --> 00:09:29,960
Speaker 3: Supposed to say.

183
00:09:30,080 --> 00:09:33,760
Speaker 1: Oh my god, my professor said we'd all get the

184
00:09:33,760 --> 00:09:36,840
Speaker 1: same grade, and because four out of the five sections

185
00:09:36,840 --> 00:09:40,280
Speaker 1: were incomplete, it would be a failing grade.

186
00:09:40,880 --> 00:09:42,960
Speaker 3: Who are these teachers?

187
00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:43,080
Speaker 1: Like?

188
00:09:43,160 --> 00:09:45,480
Speaker 3: Do they want you to learn? Like?

189
00:09:45,480 --> 00:09:49,800
Speaker 2: Like, clear clearly this person put forth effort and clearly

190
00:09:49,920 --> 00:09:52,679
Speaker 2: they didn't. So how are you gonna reward nothing and

191
00:09:52,840 --> 00:09:55,520
Speaker 2: punish like greatness.

192
00:09:55,320 --> 00:09:57,920
Speaker 3: Greatness, Opie's greatness.

193
00:09:57,960 --> 00:10:01,160
Speaker 1: I don't know, man, but I was going in so

194
00:10:01,360 --> 00:10:04,080
Speaker 1: but op was going into that presentation with a ninety

195
00:10:04,160 --> 00:10:08,000
Speaker 1: eight percent. So even if OP got a zero, they'd

196
00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:11,480
Speaker 1: still pass the course. But there was no way I

197
00:10:11,600 --> 00:10:15,480
Speaker 1: was accepting that. There's an appeal process that goes to

198
00:10:15,520 --> 00:10:17,599
Speaker 1: the chair of the program and then the dean of

199
00:10:17,640 --> 00:10:20,120
Speaker 1: the school. On the day of the appeal meeting with

200
00:10:20,160 --> 00:10:23,040
Speaker 1: the chair of the program, I was informed that they

201
00:10:23,080 --> 00:10:25,680
Speaker 1: decided I would be graded for my part and the

202
00:10:25,760 --> 00:10:27,160
Speaker 1: other four would get a zero.

203
00:10:27,320 --> 00:10:27,520
Speaker 3: Oh.

204
00:10:27,600 --> 00:10:31,040
Speaker 1: I got an eighty five, which honestly was a low

205
00:10:31,080 --> 00:10:34,920
Speaker 1: grade for that work, but the other four failed the program.

206
00:10:35,640 --> 00:10:38,360
Speaker 1: If I had put this is an interesting point. Yeah,

207
00:10:38,400 --> 00:10:40,600
Speaker 1: if I had put the text in the PowerPoint and

208
00:10:40,720 --> 00:10:43,360
Speaker 1: just let them read it, we probably would have passed

209
00:10:43,360 --> 00:10:45,520
Speaker 1: and would have upped my average from a ninety three

210
00:10:45,559 --> 00:10:48,080
Speaker 1: percent to a ninety five percent or something like that.

211
00:10:48,600 --> 00:10:53,320
Speaker 1: But I regret nothing. It was so worth it to

212
00:10:53,360 --> 00:10:57,240
Speaker 1: get that sweet sweet justice. Of all those freeloaders getting

213
00:10:57,240 --> 00:10:59,520
Speaker 1: a big fat zero.

214
00:11:00,120 --> 00:11:05,040
Speaker 2: Seriously, two percent is well well worth like it. It

215
00:11:05,120 --> 00:11:08,160
Speaker 2: just makes your skin crawl. Those people that just take

216
00:11:08,200 --> 00:11:09,560
Speaker 2: advantage of all the work that you're doing.

217
00:11:09,760 --> 00:11:12,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, I can't believe it. I can't believe it, honestly,

218
00:11:12,400 --> 00:11:18,679
Speaker 1: like I have no sympathy for those freeloaders. And if

219
00:11:18,679 --> 00:11:20,560
Speaker 1: you don't want to be a freeloader and you want
