r/Prorevenge He Broke My Mailbox, So I Broke His Car 

That moment when you forget it’s an old video and hear rslash say “*I* don’t have a kid” after listening to tons of videos of him practically crying about how much he loves his daughter

The only time it's acceptable to slap food out of someone else's child's hand is if you know the child has an allergy and is about to stick something they're allergic to in their mouth.

I feel like Richard is a narcissist. The inability to see themselves as being in the wrong, even when it's objectively true, is a telltale sign of narcissism.

I’m vegan. I frequently look after my god daughter. I have never told her off for eating hot dogs. Yes she will eat vegan at mine, but when we go out she can eat whatever she likes. I have never lectured her on my ethical choices, heck I avoid talking about it because I know she copies me. The last time she asked why I couldn’t eat chicken I said “Becca doesn’t eat meat because she doesn’t want to hurt animals” she left it at that. She’s exposed to the idea that meat comes from animals but it’s not lectured to her as a bad thing, just a fact. There are certain things you just don’t do.

In every revenge story, the term "This turned out to be a mistake" is always used.

"This turned out to be a mistake"

The brick mailbox story is a good life lesson. "It is better to eat crow when it is young and tender, rather than when it is old and tough."

Richard telling the girl about what goes into hotdogs is like when Jamie Oliver tried to turn kids away from eating chicken nuggets. Even after he showed them what went into making the nuggets they still wanted to eat them anyway. 😂

There's nothing quite like mailbox-related revenge. It just has that taste that no other story can match.

*Past Rslash:* I don't have a kid... *Me, going through the Pro Revenge playlist 2 years after this video was posted:* _GREETINGS FROM THE WORLD OF TOMORROW!_

Neighbor: "I kept breaking your mailbox, what are you gonna do about it?" OP: "I'm gonna destroy your car's whole career."

I have a mailbox story. This is a family story about my Great Grand Father. My Dad’s mother’s Father. He was crazy smart. It was said he could build anything better than the next guy. On top of that he sold TNT and liked to blow stuff up. This was back in the 1920s to give you a time frame. My Great Grand Parents lived in the middle of nowhere. On a long one lane dead end dirt road. There were a couple other small farms down the road from their place. Other than that there was nothing. One summer Great Grand Dad walked out to get the mail and found the mailbox run over, and trashed. He spent the day making a new mailbox. The next week it was run over again. After the 5th time, Great Grand Dad had had enough. He had found who was doing it. It was a stuck up young man that lived down the road. My Great Grand Dad tried giving the kid a talking to, but the kid spit in his face. So my Great Grand Dad told him. “ the next time you hit my mailbox, you wouldn’t have a car to go home in...” Over the next three days, Great Grand Dad made a monster of a mailbox. The way my grandma tells it, he dug a 6 feet deep, 4 foot across hole. Then drop a steal I beam into it. Like what they make skyscraper out of. Filled the hole with concrete. Then welded 1/2 steal plate around the I beam, then filled all the empty space with more concrete. Then made a nice little 1/2 steal mailbox with working door and flag and welded that on top of the I beam. Then he painted it, the mailbox itself was red and the I beam, steal plate, concrete pull was painted to look like wood... A week passes with nothing. Then one day, just before dinner. CRASH! BANG!BUMM! Grandma said her Dad got the biggest evil smile on his face, as he got up and headed outside. So happens the stupid kid had gotten drunk and saw the new mailbox, and decided he wasn’t going to take no lip from some old man. So he floored it as fast as a 1920’s car could go. Straight into the monster mailbox. The mailbox didn’t move... the car crunched like an accordion the engine ended up in the back set. the kid got thrown forward out the front of the car, over the mailbox and in to the grass on the other side. That’s where Great Grandpa found him. Drunk, confusing, a little banged up, but alive. And he told him, “ I told you, if you hit my mailbox again, you wouldn’t have a car to go home in. Didn’t I.” then he turned and walked back to the house and left the kid there. After about 15 minutes the kid got up and walked home. That mailbox stayed there for 20 years. Until the city wanted to widen the road. They payed him quite a bit to blow up his own mailbox. And He left a 10 foot deep, 20 foot wide crater where the mailbox once was~ I never get to meet him, but I love him so much because of the stories my grandma and my dad have told about him.

nobody: people in revenge stories on reddit: i thought the situation was over. this turned out to be a mistake.

…And to this day, rSlash has a kid, and still knows not to slap hot dogs out of children's hands

"Mailboxchu, use Steal Beam!" Its Super Misspelled!

I like the pumpkin mailbox story. This is how making a mistake and owning up and fixing it makes you a new friend instead of enemy.

With the mailbox story, my dad sunk ours in concrete also. Our house was on a hill and our driveway was slightly curved at the bottom. The pizza guys from our local pizza joint ran our mailbox over 4 times. Well my dad had ordered Chinese once and that poor guy hit it. The next day, the Chinese delivery guy showed up at my house with a hammer, and a bag of cement. He and my dad dug up the mailbox, added steel to the outside and put in the concrete and waited for the next guy to hit our mailbox. Best delivery driver ever.

I love the pumpkin story. That kid was raised right. I remember when my little foster boy accidentally ran his bike into the neighbors car. I said well, lets go see. I took him up to the door and said "My boy needs to tell you something" he did, she came out and looked at the car. Said there was no damage and shook his little 5 year old hand for being so stand up. I hope he always remembers that.

I can relate to OP #1 as I've had CPS called on me several times, each time they found nothing, once they actually told me something to the effect of "you're a good dad". It really pisses me off how easy it is to exploit the system meant to protect kids against good parents.

1/4" hardened steel plate is enough to stand up to sustained gunfire. A truck drifting into it doesn't stand a chance.

Hot dogs might not be the healthiest thing to eat but having them once in a while is just fine.... It's just a nice treat. Being obsessive about how you shouldn't eat anything that's "bad" is ridiculous behavior.

Rlash. Imma be real Use yugo's bark as a censor tone Please! And more puppy bloopers

The only reasons someone should slap food out of another person's hand is if they know that it is actual poison or if they know the food is something the kid is deathly allergic too. And even then it should not be first case scenario

This is what happens when someone messes with a mailbox. They get intensely punished

“So I live in a small quiet town” *Morioh-cho radio starts playing*

rSlash: *in description* “So, OP decides get a steal beam” Me: I thought it was “steel”?

I knocked over a mailbox once in the rain. Busted my windshield. I was too scared to own up to it. The irony. I'm a mail carrier now.

That mailbox one was classic. it's like saying "You mess with my mailbox, I'll mess up your Car". Now normally breaking a dude's car is breaking the second golden rule, but Dick did that to himself so it doesn't count.

Rslash: *uploads* Me: *watches* Also me in school: *watches* Also also me during quarantine: *watches* Rslash is the god of youtube reddit stories, no questions asked.

1:18 sounds like a real life Sheldon.

If I'm satisfied with the increase in puppy bloopers, I'll consider clicking "like" as an act of good faith.

Moral of the first story: everything turned out to be a mistake, including you

the amount of times the OP in the first story said, "This turned out to be a mistake" is quite funny

He broke my mailbox so i broke his car *modern problems require modern solutions*

My dad told me about how one of his friends used a loaf of bread, and he used it to knock a cyclist off his bike by hitting him in the back of his head while my dad's friend was traveling down the road at an excessive speed. It turns out that something as soft as a loaf of bread can be an effective weapon against cyclist because the cyclist was knocked head over the front of his bike, and then rolled into the ditch. I cannot even begin to contemplate the physics behind how a loaf of bread, and the speed of a passing car, could have resulted in what my dad said that happened, but I would argue to anyone that they shouldn't do things like this. The end results could cost someone their life. Think before doing.

I remember hearing about a similar story to the mailbox (I think it was on your channel too). Kid keeps destroying old man's mailbox and old man repeatedly calls op to repair it. One day, op calls cousin to help heavily reinforce the mailbox (metal frame, 4 feet deep into surrounding concrete). And as it turns out, high school football jock breaks his arm "coincidentally" the next day.

He Broke My Car, So I Broke His Mailbox Again.

I like to listen to this before I go to bed. It’s like these stories help me feel satisfied and calm enough to fall to sleep!

Hearing about these stories about destroyed mailboxes makes me glad that my home has a thick mailbox made out of bricks.

When my brother was in high school (a few years after I graduated), some kids were driving around smashing mail boxes with baseball bats and got my parents' mailbox twice. The second time, they were caught and had to replace the mailboxes. My brother, being in a metal shop class at the time and learning to weld, decided to build a mailbox out of 1/4" plate steel mounted on a 12 foot piece of train rail. It took six guys to load it into my dad's truck and unload it. My dad used his Uni-loader to drill a 6' post hole then lower the mailbox into it, then they filled the hole with concrete. Unfortunately, everyone at the school knew what he did, so no one tried mailbox baseball, again.

9:58 : Call me an ambulance 10:08 : but not for me

The mailbox incident reminded me of what one of my friend's father did several decades ago. His mailbox was repeatedly damaged so he built a new post with a 6 in. diameter steel pipe filled with concrete, sunk 4 feet into the ground and also enclosed with concrete and then built a wooden enclosure around it. That did the trick. The neighbor who kept backing into it encountered some serious car damage. The friend's father is long gone but the Google earth street view pictures show the post is still there.

"I'm not the violent type" Dude, when it comes to your kids...we understand. He held himself together better then I would have!

Me: *hears description of Richard * Me: Sheldon? I-is that you

Think the first story said "This would turn out to be a mistake" like 20 times.. Jesus dude every choice someone makes "Turns out to be a mistake" XD

I will gladly accept any charges if anyone were to put hands on my kids. Any admirable parent would probably feel the same.

I think we have it better in my country. In here, roadside mailboxes only exist as a hub for our local post office services and they aren't even that common since to us it is more common to deliver mail to the post office directly. No roadside home specific mailboxes. If a postman has to deliver a letter, envelope or whatever that isn't a parcel, he just simply dumps it into the widely used door embedded type mailboxes/mail slots when no one is there to receive it. At worst, it is slid under the door if doable. So mailbox baseball does not nor has it ever existed here as our post office services' mailboxes have always been sturdy metal ones firmly bolted to the ground.

I'm in the gifted program, and Richard honestly sounds like my entire class.

“I don’t have kids” this aged like milk in the best way lol

'I dont have a kid' flash forward to now when he is a dad himself and seems like hell be a great one

It's a whole different rage when someone does shit to your kids!!! I scared my own self when my own 'mumma bear' came out many years ago. I really impressed myself lol.

Lay his hands on my family and I would have beat that "genius" into a bloody heap then left it sitting on the curb for trash pickup. The number one life lesson my Dad taught me was to own up to my mistakes. That story is the perfect reason why. I've heard that extortion can be "a tricky subject that requires a large degree of tact and word knowledge with a good spattering of legalese" (can't remember where I heard that).

"I don't have a kid" Not right now you don't...

Yup I took out a mail box once.Floored it around a corner ,the ass end washed out from the sanding from the winter. I hit my best friends parents mail box at 3:30 in the morning......I went back and told Ted I hit his mail box this morning . He was mad that I did it but respected me because I told him and put a new one in that day

This one really made me laugh because years ago one of my father's neighbors did pretty much the exact same thing using a section of super heavy I beam sunk into a huge block of concrete. A bunch of delinquents had been going through the neighborhood running down mailboxes at a high speed. When they hit the I-beam (also disguised as wood) it almost cut the car in half. Just like this story the parents tried to sue for the totaled car and injuries to the occupants and like this one ended up having to pay for damages to all of the mailboxes they had run over, all court costs and the driver lost his license. (I don't know for how long)

So many "This turned out be a Mistake"

The first one (Richard) seems like a psycopath ...

Causing Richard to lose the sale on his house is actually better than beating him up for slapping the hot dog. Nicely played OP. Richard got what he had coming to him. Wow what a dingleberry.

Wow. OP made so many mistakes in the beginning by not kicking that toxic Richard to the curb. But at least he finally put that psychopath in his place.

I love how he says the mailbox was “specifically made to destroy his car” as if him ramming into it isnt the only way the mailbox could damage it

The one about the smashed mailbox reminded me of when ours would get wrecked. Growing up, we lived on the corner where a dead end road met the main one. Our mailbox was originally on the side of our property next to the main road. For the longest time, my dad would have to replace it every few months. Eventually he got fed up with it and moved the mailbox to the side of the dead end road. Never had a problem with it again.

He had no legal grounds to break the lease? How about an apartment covered in black mold and threatening the entire complex with it making the entire place uninhabitable and unsafe?

proof that we don't have equal starts in life. First story references Monetssori private schools as they have produced highly succssful famous people. They are told not to "waste their money". It's so surreal to me, being on the outside looking in. Most kids don't have a choice in what private school their in, because private school isn't even an option on the list for them. And heaven forbid public schools be equally funded. Private school and college are a LUXURY. My parents worked hard to get a house in a good district when I was growing up. I worked hard, got straight A's and went to a REALLY good public school. I thought all I had to do was get accepted to college and the rest would wok out. ended up getting accepted into my first school of choice and a prestigious school. I could only stay a semester, because I learned the hard way that a school like this was not for poor kids. I ate a single box of 10cent mac and chesse everyday with change I found in phones and vending machines. I acquired all my supplies from trash and resale (it was an art school). I WANTED TI BE THERE SO BAD. Even with a loan, government aid and a partial scholarship, I left after one semester owing money. Meanwhile, my rich friends don't pay for a thing. Not their fault,but their parents put money away for them for college. They pay for tuition,rent,food, EVERYTHING for their kids. Many, at Ivy keague schools. They would compare our situations and consider them equal, but they only had to worry about making the grade. Everything else was a given. I not only had to make the grade, but I would need to perform the impossible feat of paying college tuition and rent myself. I know it's a bit of a rant, I just get upset when stupid rich people problems arise.

The first one (Richard) sounded like Sheldon from The Big Bang Theory

We have a neighbor like that where I live. He lives right above us, too. He thinks he knows more than we do in everything. There have been times where my dad has proven him wrong. Its very satisfying to know he gets knocked down a peg or 2 once in a while.

In the US, mail boxes belong to the post office making them federal property. Destroying them can get you into a world of trouble and damage to something else that hits them is never the mailbox owners problem since that box just sits there and minds its business of waiting for the mail.

Amusing story: The first automated sprinkler head was for a piano factory (the second actual automated sprinkler system for anti-fire use, apparently). A little damage better than them just burning up, I guess (or at least, it prevents the fire from spreading to further pianos?). I just remembered this fact due to one of the latter stories happening to involve, well, a sprinkler system doing bad things to a piano.

I went to a Montessori school and go this day I'm glad my parents send me there. It was a fantastic way of growing up and made me actual not once resent school when I was younger. I learned how to learn at my own pace while having fun and being able to play as much as I wanted. Sister and I both went and are both very successful in our careers now.

Yugo's bark after every story / instead of a beep would be awesome

I have been trying to convince my dad to do the "mailbox trick" on a post at our family cabin. The cabin is right next to the woods that separate our living community from the lake. There is a gravel path that leads down to the lake in between our cabin and our neighbors. We have a line of 4x4 post lining the edge of our property to keep people from cutting across our lawn. Our neighbors driveway requires that they drive a little down the path to get to it. About 3 years ago someone new moved in and we have had 1 post, directly across from their driveway get knocked down a dozen times. I don't think they are doing it on purpose, I think they just don't know how to back up their boat trailer. I've been telling my dad to replace it with a metal post anchored in concrete. Getting the shit banged out of their vehicle should remind them how to drive properly

One time my land lord cut my heat off in December -30 weather to convince me to move out. She then asked for full rent. I offered 50% until heat turned on. She had 3 people try to drag me out in the middle of the night (she let them in and they grabbed me while I slept) after beating them up they called the police on me. I called the police as well, but asked for a fire marshal to come over. the suite was illegal broke many fire codes and she was trying to sell the home... yea.....

Rslash: ".. now I don't have a kid but I.." Uh huh.. *not yet.*

I mean, what the guy with the mailbox did was perfectly reasonable. He found that, when installed on his property, most commercially available mailboxes were too flimsy for some reason, so he made one that wouldn't randomly break when the wind reached 30 mph or whatever caused the previous ones to break. Likewise, if you find that burglars keep climbing over your chain-link fence, replacing it with a solid, flat concrete wall is a reasonable solution. If someone drives into the new wall, it's their fault for being blind and not seeing the concrete wall on the other side of the sidewalk from the road. Hitting a fixed obstacle on non-driving areas, like people's lawns, is the driver's fault, regardless of if that "path" used to not damage the car. Now, sure, burying anti-tank mines in the lawn is another matter, those are clearly intended to cause major damage and serve no other purpose. But one should not have to consider "how much damage would this do to a car that jumps the curb and skids five feet on my lawn" when building something. Maybe one would think about kids riding their bikes on the sidewalk and falling over into your rose bushes, but even that isn't something one is expected or required to do.

I used to work for two men, both named Bob. They were friends, and both were jerks. One day we were coming back from a meeting. The Bobs were in the front seat of Bob2's car, and I sat in back. Bob1 said, watch this, and he reached behind the seat to pick up a baseball bat. He opened the window and swung it at a mailbox. The bat rebounded back into the car, broke Bob1's nose, and bounced off to shatter the windshield. Afterwards they said someone threw a rock at the car. When asked about it, I said I was looking out the side window and didn't see how it happened.

LOL thats a well built mailbox, its gonna be hard to break at this point...

My teacher in high school told me a story once that when she was a kid, there were teens that had a 2x4 attached to their car across the back seat and on trash days, would drive down the street: Bang, Bang, Bang, Bang, Bang(trash cans were metal back then). So what they did was fill their trash can with concrete and the next trash day she heard: Bang, Bang, Bang, Bang, Screeeeeeeech! When the 2x4 hit their trash can, the car had spun around bc the trash can didn’t move.

From the mailbox stories, In America, breaking a mailbox is a FEDERAL OFFENSE.

OP: **is nice to the person to get it over with** Also OP: *this turned out to be a mistake**

Gotta be careful with reinforcing mailboxes against douchebags. Some state and local agencies will go after you if you do so and the person, [who btw is INTENTIONALLY destroying your property] somehow gets hurt or ends up in an accident. inorite???

Nobody: Not a single soul: Reddit revenge stories when something goes wrong: ThIs TuRnEd OuT tO bE a MiStAkE

I accently smashed a friends mailbox when I was in high school. They weren't really a friend at the time. The replacement was better than what they had before. She is still a close friend and her family became a second family to me for over a decade

My parents live on a corner block. There's no pro-revenge or anything here, but we had an issue with someone cutting over the corner of our yard, driving over the sidewalk and in between our driveway and the street sign. He kept leaving muddy tire tracks on the naturestrip. My Dad knew who it was and confronted him several times, it was the friend of the son of the people who owned the house in the court behind us. I actually went to school with both of them, but we'd graduated before this happened. Sadly, he didn't listen, and one day, he cut across when my cat was sitting in the gutter there. She liked that spot because it was warm and she was a dare-devil kitty, who believed every car would stop for her. My Dad found her when he got home that night. Her jaw was broken and she had obvious internal injuries, but she was still alive. She tried to get up so we took her inside to call the vet, I was going to have her euthanized because no kitty should have to go through recovery from that, but she passed away somewhere between me handing her to my Mum and Mum putting her on a blanket in the living room. I don't know if that guy knew what he'd done, but he never drove over that grass again. But I never got a chance at even talking to him about it because I never saw him again either. This happened in 2006. The cat was called Abagail, and she is the one in my icon picture. She also responded to her nickname, Oobiedoobs.

"Richard existed. This turned out to be a mistake"

The good old mailbox stories!!!

0:44 Me, a Montessori kid: **has skipped a year in school** **was able to read at 4 years old** **was able to speak a bit of german at 5** **grew up pretty sociable** Of course, that is totally what a waste of money is

"this turned out to be a mistake" I thought this was the last time it was gunna be said. This turned out to be a mistake.

THE SECOND TIME A EUNOS ROADSTERS BEEN IN A THUMBNAIL YAY

I loved how instead of switching the curse words you just censored them. It definetly makes it funnier

Oh, as to slapping food out of a kid's hand; yeah, that carries a very high chance of getting beat up. It carries a very high chance of the KID beating you up. Remember, he's a guy, his weak point is easily accessible for kicking.

My neighbor does an AWESOME show with Xmas lights. People were constantly driving/ wrecking into his yard, presumably looking at the lights. They'd snap the electric pole in half and ruin his fence. He put HUGE boulders in the place of his fence after about 4 accidents in the same year. That pole hasn't been snapped once and I have yet to see tire tracks in his yard. 😂😂

When I heard the first story I was like "There's a fine line between right,and wrong bravo six going dark"(btw I know it's not the full dialogue)

The epic weapon: the MAILBOX.

For those who don't know, with the mailbox story. Federal law requires mailboxes to be break away, which means wood 4x4s. These strengthened mailboxes are technically illegal and up to the post office to enforce, which they never do. But because of that, if a victim of these mailboxes decides to sue, the owner could be held liable.

Now we wait to see if RSlash ever beats the crap out of someone for knocking food out of his daughters hands

"I dont have a kid" - Clueless /Lighthearted

Remember rslash you have the doggo of power he can keep Karen’s away defend you from covid 19 he will get revenge for you and best of all he’s a good boy

“You just got Vectored!!” -OP, 2020

“ I don’t have a kid” wonder what Dadslash would say about the Richard story now🤣

“This turned out to be a mistake” counter: 4

Committing battery against a child then calling CPS on their parents is craaazy 😅
