I work at a car dealership and once had a customer who asked for a free car for “reparations” for what her family was put through with slavery. I work at a Honda which is Japanese owned.
my god, I'm all for equal rights and ending racism but Jesus fuck if I don't get tired of hearing about slavery. when u have to bring up ur ancestors, you have no real point. my ancestors were slaves too. and I'm as white as Cauliflower. every being walking this earth can have ancestors dating back to a day where they were likely slaves in some form or fashion. whether it was in the 1800s or 10,000 B.C. so sick of that argument. especially when u realize how many black people owned slaves themselves.
This reminds me of that Target lady who got punched in the face by Security - she wanted over $1000 of merch for free as "reparations". I don't mind the conversation of reparations but the way some people are tryina go about it now that the idea is out there floating is certainly not the best practice.
imagine saying to someone you can't afford a motorcycle, ask them to give it to you, then threaten them with a lawsuit, suddenly able to afford a lawyer.
Comparing a “shirt off their back” to a literal motorcycle is the most hilarious part to me, like it’s some item that everyone just has on them at all times
@@RealRobotENG. The first part of your comment is everyone's reply to you. There's youtube for kids for a reason. Don't let mommy and daddy find out you're on the big boys apps, sitting at the big kids table.
Ngl my 64 yr old chemistry teacher has a motorbike lol. Seems like they're becoming more and more common everyday Edit: This is a light hearted comment and i am joking. I understand that motorbikes are extremely expensive.
@@tractorcat6414 There is only 4 letters in that font that drop below the line. ''g ~ j ~ y & p'' Given the first letter was one of these we can rule several ''slur's'' out. I think the black line was just extended to throw peep's off. Which I can confidently say that the slur was.... Not so nice. HarHa Ha This dude sending the txt's is a degenerate POS!😑✌🏼
This story actually made me cry, such a nice son trying to get his father a motorcycle, and when he said the slur, i really knew this was coming from the heart, never mind the legal threat showing how devoted he is. Truly one of the sons of all time
Breaks my heart to think a 78 year old man may die peacefully in bed instead of going 90mph through the back of somebody’s family car on a free motorbike as god intended. Especially after his son’s business was stolen by unspecified minorities
Or he will wreck it as soon as he rides it and then the guy who gave him the deth bike will be responsible so its the morale thing to save his physical life by keeping the motorcycle. He has made it 78 years of stress without ending it yet, so the moral right thing to do is prevent the old man from getting on a motorcycle in the first place. @@bramvissers4985
My mother was recently trying to help find/buy a car for a homeless man. She is also a chronic over-sharer. She called a few places to enquire about a vehicle they had and launched into how it was for a homeless person. After the 3rd time I heard this, I told her she should probably stop sharing that part, because the majority of the people she talks to are going to think she's trying to scam them with a sob story. She couldn't comprehend that concept.
@dangerxbadger2300 just doesn't make sense to me. If she's buying a car, then why would anyone care if the sob story is real or not ? Unless she's asking for a massive discount, if that's the case them she's not much better than the goober in the video
I love people like this. i ask where theyre located then give them some random address half way across town and then sit and wait for the hilarity in ensue when they drive all the way out there just to be greeted with silence from me.
I think the most bizarre thing about this is that the scammer actually seemed genuinely offended that the guy wouldn't give his 'dad' the motorcycle. Like the dude seems to lie so much that he seems to believe his lies as a coping mechanism. Gotta be a rough life being that way.
Alright now that you have read this, you have been cursed! 👻👻 If you don't repost this comment in at least another 3 comment sections then your left testicle will disappear at a time you least expect
Ahh cursed chain letters. It took me a minute because you made it one word and I was thinking people put on cursed chainmail which harmed them in some way and couldn't be removed without a remove curse spell or scroll.
My favorite part is what Charlie brought up - that an emotionally fragile 78 year old *totally* seems like the type of person who should be handling a motorcycle, especially when the only driving info we have is that he's had a car. This scam might've had more weight if the person messaging claimed he's been job hunting to pay for his dad but just got a new one and lost his own car in the meantime.
As someone who has sold probably thousands of things on Facebook due to doing storage auctions and other things, this is absolutely the norm. From October on you get the im a single mother on Christmas garbage and the summer you get the me and my son have always wanted x and couldnt afford it. Then if you even try to haggle price and lower it for them rather than give them it for free you're the biggest a hole they ever met. Ive had people ask me to lower the price by 25 to 50% then ask me to deliver it a whole city over.
I like to imagine the dad keels over and this guy tries to sue, the judge asks 'why are you suing this man' and the guy just goes 'he wouldn't give my dad his motorbike' like it's a toddler wanting someone elses toy
You have the knack of wiping away the complexities and showing the underlying absurdity of some people's thought processes. This negotiation "strategy" is truly one for the ages!
That caps lock section just flashbanged me with memories of those stupid “send these to 5 people for bla bla bla and the fluffy bunny lives” type of chain mails.
Taking someone to court to blame them for "what happened" to your dad because they didn't give him a motorcycle; can you imagine Judge Judy hearing that case? She might go Homelander on the guy.
As a rider myself, that dude would have been in rough shape after he figured out what you need to spend to maintain a motorcycle, let alone buy one lol
The funniest part of all of this is that the guy threatening to sue doesn't realize that a lawyer is *SIGNIFICANTLY* more expensive than that motorcycle he saw on Marketplace. If he actually *did* hire a lawyer, where the hell did all of that money that he apparently *didn't* have suddenly come from?
Honestly, if this guy asked me “so you ok with putting money over a person’s life”, I would say “yes”, drop the number of a funeral services house and write “for your dad”
no respect for fools like this. I'm disabled, my dads disabled, we're broke and struggling every day....never once have we begged or demanded for anything from anyone, no excuses for this type of behavior regardless of your life situation.
That's the right mindset to have. Your comment reminds of an opposite situation I experienced. A broke disabled guy who was once my acquaintance begged me for money, but he kept lying about paying me back. Then at one point he tried to threaten me by saying that I will face consequences for not giving him more money. LOL. That's what I get for trying to help some poor sod and enabling his shitty entitled behavior. I hope your situation gets better though. Sounds like you guys have some integrity at least.
"Give me that for free or I will enact consequences" is actually just robbery. Perhaps not quite to the elements of the crime proper doing it over Facebook but it's close enough imo.
I'd actually like to see this lawsuit. Just because he would probably ask his lawyer, if he even has one, to do it for free. Then when the lawyer says no sue the lawyer.
@@portalbuilder7021 not necessarily, i’m in dcfs and my mom has one, but it’s a no fault case. there were no crimes held accountable in my dcfs case. but my mom still got a public defender. maybe loopholes and low income neighborhoods have a difference but idk
I wish I could have this kind of interaction. The trolling potential is epic. "Well *my* lawyer says that your lawyer is lying and that what you're doing is terroristic threats and so I have collected you and your dad's info and my lawyer has sent it to the fbi" 😂😂😂😂
I love it liars give up on their strategy in the same message that they started it in. He had no opposition yet, he hadn't even sent the message. Yet he still typed his sob story, got scared, gave up, and went straight to threats, all in the same message. How do you have that little resolve? I bet this guy turned himself into the police after telling someone he's going to beat them up as a kid.

I still can't believe Facebook Marketplace is a real place
It's not a real place. By definition, a "place" is a particular point or position in space. You cannot pinpoint a geographic location for Facebook Marketplace because it exists only in the digital realm. What you mean to say is that it's an e-commerce platform, which is significantly different from a "place".
Well I mean 99% of people get a message like this and then just immediately block the person. Like any of this getting out there means you chose to engage.
Who wouldnt let his depressed 78 year old father ride a motorcycle? I mean duh! Its obviously scam from the first paragraph alone but that capslock section about being held responsible is just..... the icing on the cake.
@@kzendo6542 By referencing the video title and guessing based on some algorithm. (I don't believe this person is a bot, but I don't think it's out the question that it's possible.)
the first thing I say when someone tries to guilt trip me is that I'm not responsible for them, and it always shuts them up or at least gets them to change their approach. I laughed so hard when he said the other person would be responsible for some stranger who may or may not exist 😂
I've had to drop this one on my dad a few 10+ times. Dad gives me $100 here and there out of the 'goodness of his heart' and then later if I don't help him with some ridiculous thing he'll hold it over my head as if he didn't make the big boy choice to give me the money I didn't even ask for. No one should GIVE if they expect anything in return. Kinda negates the whole 'gift' thing.
He makes it sound like the dad is gonna die any day now, yet asks for a free motorcycle for him like that's gonna somehow cure all his illnesses and he will live to 100 years.
The guy's premise doesn't even make sense. By saying no to him, you aren't saying no to his father unless his father is literally reading these messages too. So if his father was actually at this point where one more 'no' would lead to suicide, he could simply not share this with him. This man then going on to act like he can afford to keep a lawyer on retainer, but can't afford to just buy the motorcycle is another shot in the foot to his ploy.
there’s nothing quite like lying down to watch youtube and having Charles Christopher White Jr. giving you hilarious sarcasm in spade fulls whilst describing an unhinged guy trying to get a free motorcycle. Thank you.
I like how he even says 'Refuses to say yes' - if it said 'The next person who says no will be held responsible' - they could outwit him by just not replying. He has them trapped now, as refusing to reply violates the written contract!
People like this deserve to be told that they’re getting their way only to be told some random address to meet up and waste their time like they wasted yours.
The fact that he wanted to get the bike for free with some sob story and then threatened the guy selling it for not wanting to give away their bike shows the true sigma of this man 😂
Any time someone tries to pull the lawsuit card, just tell them you don't have a duty of care and therefore cannot be held liable. There has to be an existing relationship between two people in order for there to be duty of care, even one of the parties is facing trouble, even threat to life. This is also why you can't sue people for walking by and ignoring when someone is having a heart attack. It protects people from trying to help and only worsening the situation in their attempt.
Charlie almost broke character and laughed through the sarcasm 1:14 What would have worked better is if he said, "Hey, I see you're selling that motorcycle. Could you add on $100 to the price and give me that 100 for my poor Dad in need? It's not like you're paying for it, the guy who is buying your motorcycle is giving me the money."
This guy was onto something, I don't know why robbers wear masks and use guns in a bank heist, if they asked nicely im sure they'll hand the money over.
I would respond: "OK, sure. Please come to my house with your Father. I already have contacted the local news. There will be a camera team that will bring this heartwarming story to all the people out there. You and your dad sure don't mind to give the TV station a quick interview about your misfortune, and how you contacted me in desperation. Don't forget to bring your passport (or your dad's one ), so that we can make this donation official. I am looking forward to hear from you and your dad." :-D PS: Let's call it what i is: Extortion... Or at least kind of a crappy try
