With the first story, that guy 100% did it to himself. OP is perfectly in the clear on this. Had the guy been successful with getting OP fired, I doubt he would have batted an eye about it. He only showed remorse when it meant that he would loose his job.
"They're not sorry for what they did, but because they were caught doing it" is a saying that holds true for everyone without morals. Those people are also bound to repeat it, because they learned nothing from suffering the consequences.
@@SapphireVirgo So Shane's plan was to coast towards retirement, but also stir up trouble. Shane didn't realize that those two things are mutually exclusive.
@@javaman7199 Looks like we're gonna need a lift for the BIG FAFO chart here! Because apparently people *still* don't get: The more you fuck around, the *more* you're going to find out.
_"Do you know what OBS is?"_ I'm not very tech-savvy, but even I knew that was OP's subtle way of telling Shane *"YOU'RE FUCKED!"* I also think that OP might be a fan of The Walking Dead comics because why else would they choose 'Shane' as the name of the antagonist?
In reality, you could have done the same with a smart phone in the room. I guess that Shane didn't think of the security vulnerabilities of his actions, since he could not see his opponent.
I definitely heard this story from other users and I still do not blame OP. Shane dug his own grave more than enough while trying to ruin OP. He is the one that cause the problem and then his death.
Yeah no...Dude!!! That's exactly what I'm saying! Like he obviously should've used that time to learn the new software and shit, dude. Instead he decided to be an asshole.
Shane could easily have stayed under the radar of management and coasted till retirement. Instead, he chose to try and ruin someone's career just to be petty. If Shane needed retirement benefits that badly, he shouldn't have been playing stupid games. All OP did was expose that Shane's lie. Everything that happened after were simply consequences of his own actions. Why'd Shane lose his job? Because he attempted to sabotage someone's career. Why can't he get a new job? Because he refused to improve his skills to stay relevant.
Bragging about your own success is how some of those salesmen/timeshares try to convince you to buy into whatever garbage they're trying to sell. You see this a lot in those "self help" books. I too could be a millionaire if I had no morals and was willing to scam people into buying what is essentially a subscription service with no value
People who work on commission by recruiting people into sales that are overseen by others lie all the time. They depend on people being too polite, ignorant or lazy to push back or call them out, or being invested in the reward regardless of the cost. I once had to have a lawyer called on a big lottery company because their salesperson promised that what they offered me was a freebie (several tickets to the next lottery, no charge) to see if I could be interested to continue eventually. I legitimately asked their salesperson, directly. "This isn't going to be one of those free trial attached to a subscription situations where I'd be charged eventually, right?" and they said it wouldn't be anything like that. I made sure they put it on record and with their name attached, since these people work on commission. A few days later I got a call from the company going "We just need to confirm your financial info for your subscription." I informed them very surely that I did NOT agree to this and that they had to cancel it immediately. They denied and denied, so a relative got their lawyer to reach out for me. The legal threat got them to back off, but I still get spam mail from their company. I use it to line my cat's litterbox. I hope the one who lied to me (and likely many others) got fired. I never got those 'free tickets' btw.
Years ago my wife got in some Multi Level Marketing scheme where she had to attend some group meeting, I went along and it was the same BS, these people telling how much money they made.I told a few when I was able this was nothing more than a pep rally for a Ponzi Scheme.
One of my favorite teachers in highschool (who was married to another highschool teacher) loved going on these "free" timeshare trips. He said that, most of the time, when he let the presenters know that he and his wife are both public school teachers who don't make a lot of money that they would give up on selling them anything and let them go after a brief 20 minute spiel. Then he and his wife could go on and enjoy their free weekend vacation without sitting through the full 4 hour presentation.
Story 1: When your ego ends you.. Shane:" Please op don't give me my just deserts and get me fired even though I hate your guts." ..The incident manager needs to be disciplined as well for not actually investigating the incident and just straight up believing one side.. Story 2 : A friend who is a retired cop always told me " If it sounds too good to be true then it is too good to be true "
That’s what I always say xD Ive been trying to find a new job and this one felt a little sus but I applied anyway incase it was real. And then they deleted the listing right before I was gonna screen grab the info. 100% pyramid scheme. The small description they gave in the interview was not the same job at all. It was hilarious but I also felt bad for everyone who got scammed. They ran the booths outside of businesses and i hate those. They harass you incessantly and it made sense after why
As a tech person, I'm baffled how he just forgot that 3rd party recorders exist. If you're streaming to someone, act like you're being recorded. Windows nowadays comes pre installed with Game Bar, which can record, and both android and apple can record their screens
While the story was written within the last year or two, everytime I heard it, I assumed the actual story took place many years ago back when Skype was more popular and the default place to connect with people through video and text so maybe 3rd party video recording software was relatively new back then. idk.
@artcasual99 You might be right, but screen recording tech has been around since the 90s, and Skype was in the early 2000s. OBS was introduced in 2012, so he had around 20 years to learn about something so commonplace. Guess even seasoned professionals have their brain farts.
@@hershy1594 well, what are you expected from people like that? Learning new tools/app to make their life better/easier? It's a sarcasm if it's not obvious enough
(Work Bully) Why would the boss pair up two people, where one of them was definitely antagonizing the other? Why does management effing do this? The boss was in on it some way. (Edit) Are there any workplace managers out there who care to enlighten us?
My supervisor did this to me with someone who constantly bullied and belittled me. I asked her to keep us separated and she told me we were put together to "build a relationship". B****! I'D RATHER QUIT THAN BE WITH HER ANOTHER MINUTE!
I wish OP didn't blame themselves in this first story, shane caused all of his own consequences. Instead of keeping his head down and enjoying his retirement the dude just had to "put someone in their place". The reality is that he's likely spent his whole career doing that kinda shit and karma finally caught up with him.
It's kinda hard not to feel bad about the guys death when he is dead 6 months after OP got him fired. I don't blame OP of course, you are correct that it is Shanes own fault.
Story 2: I barely know much about timeshare scams, but I hate that they happen. I'm glad that the scam failed because of one single dude who loves to drink, because damn that could've ended badly
They tried to get my husband and I with timeshares a couple of times. We just sat through the stupid presentations with no intention of buying anything. We even wasted this dude's whole afternoon showing us around the island (Hilton Head Island, SC). We were just there for the free vacations.
in his condition he should have been looking into disability as soon as he got fired, he probably didn't. Even so it would have taken longer than 6 months to get it probably. Shane must have lived in one of those states that don't give unemployed people searching for work medicaid. This country is so screwed...
The American healthcare system is garbage, however I have that free government insurance and the neglect I experience because of rationing, incompetence, and just general soulless bureaucracy has led to many uncomfortable, bordering on fatal, medical conditions.
No, it's not, LOL. Cheaper and better-quality than the garbage """free""" healthcare from C*nada/E*rope. Also, you can still get medical help even if you currently don't have insurance or money. In his 50s and at 450 lbs, he most likely dug his own grave ages ago.
@@sarahhunter1114 LOL, saying the American healthcare system is bad while pointing out why "free" healthcare is horrible. Stop being a loser and get private insurance. It's cheaper and better.
@@user-gp7xw9cn2x my point, smart a$$$, is that nothing is free and that the people whining about not having free healthcare don’t know what kind of shit they’re asking for. And I’m a “loser” because my husband and I chose to have only one income in one of the most expensive cities in the US so that I could stay home and homeschool my kids. Eff off loser
I heard out a timeshare pitch in a mall once, cut him off after a minute, said it sounded like a scam and walked away with my husband. The guy then proceded to follow us around the mall and scold us for being disrespectful when he was trying to scam us??? Dude did it for 5 minutes before he finally left us alone
Bass Pro Shop has a same scheme setup in all their stores. I was hired on at $20/hr for the first week, then down to $10/hr plus commission. You have to get people to buy tickets to go to these presentations at random destinations (as low as $250 for 2 and some packages in the thousands) and they gave you multiple choices on where you wanted to go, but said you have to go to a 'presentation' for two days in a row before getting the complimentary tickets to the local attractions of the place you chose to go. I never showed up to my first day after finding out it was a scam timeshare for rich people to get richer and employees to scrape by on minimum wage if they got no sales (which was almost always a guarantee). No thanks scam artists! Learn to make money the real way.
That story about the recalcitrant old IT guy is tragic, but not surprising. It would have cost him nothing to check his ego, it cost him everything to expect the world to stop for him.
Day 196 (Week 28 Day 1) of asking rslash to do some feel-good content because he deserves it EDIT: I didnt know he was in china, but ill probably keep doing this so I can keep an accurate count
You might want to take a break on that for a few weeks. He's in China for a while, and probably isn't going to be changing what he's got recorded for us while he's on his extended family vacation. He'll probably be home around the end of February or the beginning of March, so you might have better luck then. Have a great day! 😊
First story: This is a lesson, be careful who you try to stab on the back because they could be smarter and more skilled than you. Besides, he had it coming for being a douchey work boomer for no good reason.
first story: Shame refuse to get better at the new system and when OP taught him step by step, instead of try get better understand at the new system, he lie to the boss to basic get OP fired no doubt about it and his reason was cause OP was the Go to guy wow Sham it a loser and shoutout to Mel for help OP that yea he died when he couldn't afford his health anymore if his own fault that if he just ask OP for help he would still have a job but was lazy and didn't want put all his work and got himself fired and he died, OP it not your fault, Sham got himself killed
For the time share story: did that once for free tickets for the medieval jousting show in Vagus (can’t think of it’s name). We went to the presentation, sat through it, looked at the mock unit, made a show of thinking about it and then got the tickets. We thought they would be crap seats (I was happy for the show and it became a birthday gift for me. Was a day or 2 after my birthday) but we got front row. Show was great, I loved it and we got sat in the Austria section (became a bit of a joke seeing were from Australia).
For the first one: if I was super dependent on my cushy job for my literal physical survival, and I was set to retire in a few years, I'd learn the hell out of the new software without trying to tank anyone's career. Honestly, I'd coast as closely as I could to being under the radar until my time was up at the company, just so I could get through without drama.
The grave-pushing thing reminded me of a story I read, either today morning or yesterday evening. At OP's friend's batchelor party, friend's brother had the bright idea to push OP into a canal or something when he returned from the bathroom. OP dodged, bro fell in and broke his neck since it was so shallow. Dude lost mobility of his lower body I think, and the whole family blamed OP for "what he did to him". People are fucking crazy.
@@InkHyaena Lot of commenters told OP to go see if the venue had survellaince footage of the incident, and gave him other advice as well. I hope everything turns out well for him.
The Shane story. That's one of the worst parts about living in America. In the UK, exact situation, Shane wouldn't have died, because medical treatment, and insurance, is a national thing. Everybody gets it, regardless of if they are currently paying into it or not.
That guy was going to die because he refused to work and instead made it OP's fault. He was probably not going to live exactly due to that reason, him eating too much and failing on every diet will be due to something else, not his fault. It takes a lot of calories to even stay at 450. Here they try the scam trips on old people. Taking them on a day trip with a bus for a good price, then stick them in a room and half starve them while they sell you mattresses and crystals and all overpriced stuff and yell at them until enough of them break to make it worth their while. They really do keep them in there, forgoing whatever sightseeing they were promised until they buy. Luckily they do try to protect those people here.
I cannot stand it when obviously vulnerable try to exploit others when the tables can so quickly and so catastrophically turn. Stones, glass houses and all.
Honestly, in the first story, Shane could have *still* avoided everything if he’d been honest. A message saying “I am badly ill. Here is my disease, here is my bill. If you send this I will not be able to afford treatment and will die.” OP never meant to kill him, he meant to get back at him. At that point they could have made a deal. Shane could blame the issue on something he failed to see, and publicly apologized to OP (and even say that OP was right to not implement his suggestion) And then, quietly asked for a transfer to another area so OP would never have to see him again. In OP’s position, I would be amenable to this solution. Heck, he could make sure that Shane was now his biggest ally in building his career. “You fail to sing my praises once, people are talking about high performers and you fail to bring me up one time, just once, and you are out of here.” Problem is, Shane would have needed to literally beg for his life for this to happen, and for whatever reason that I will not speculate on, he didn’t.
The first story is a classic FAFO. He tried to get OP fired, but at the least got him a massive mark on his record. If fed just left OP alone he could've coasted through
My husband and I went to a timeshare presentation in Vegas to get tickets to some of the more expensive shows. Totally worth it, and no, we didnt buy anything.
Story 1. OP while I understand how you feel, please don't blame yourself. The only person Shane had to blame for losing his job and life was Shane. He could have handled the incident any number of ways. He could have kept quiet and let you do your thing. Or if he really had to go with his reputation as the go-to guy, he could have talked about how between his experience over the years and your knowledge of the new tech, the two of you found the problem. And because he knew it was urgent and because his knowledge of how to fix it only went so far, he decided to come back while you were finishing up to let the others know. If he'd really wanted to, he could have easily kept his reputation as the current go-to guy, while building you up as the next go-to guy. Instead he decided to let his fee-fees get hurt and let his pride take control. That's his issue, not yours
Comments for last story: rSlash, the guy was probably trained to recruit younger people when they can't sell. Older guy saw you and likely knew you weren't interested in buying based on your body language so passed you to the younger guy hoping to recruit you. Seeing someone around your age with your experience making a ton of quick money can make you feel like you can also make that much, which makes the job appealing. It might not work on everyone, but it's still an effective recruitment tactic. You only need to look at how many people chase being a content creator for that same reason to see how effective it is.
The thing about Shane that really gets me is that the guy was clearly clever enough to remember everything he was shown enough to convince bosses that he was the person who solved the issue. I work in tech and have so many systems that you often have to do it yourself a few times for it to sink in... This guy clearly had the capacity to learn and just chose to be lazy. Even that wouldn't have been so bad if he then didn't try to ruin another person's career and livelihood.
Shane knew he was dying but he still decided to pull an a-hole move until the end. What did he think was going to happen? I mean, he brought it upon himself.
Indeed. OP should not feel guilty. The guy could have just coasted to retirement and kept his benefits, but instead specifically chose to put all that at risk to preserve his own ego. Op just outsmarted him and he got burned.
Maybe it would have been good to show some compassion to shane AFTER revealing that recording to the company & try to help him in some way, but OP shouldn't be expected to take such a massive fall after what shane tried to do to him & sharing that recording was important for keeping his job.
Timeshares: I live in Utah. A lot of my friend & their family's own timeshares. It works well among large families, but sharing a mortgage with strangers...not so much.
Telling elderly bigots not to mess with tech savvy youngsters is like telling proud medieval swordmasters not to mess with gunslingers. They'll rather try besting them before learning how their skills work, and finding out the hard way that they're not even playing on the same level.
First story, it almost seems twistedly poetic? Granted the boss needs to be retaught some stuff for thinking OP and Shane would work well together, but Shane was as unhealthy as his hatred for OP. Then when his hatred went went over the line and ended his career, it took him with it.
When i was a kid we went to the states and indeed, we were offered free disney tickets in exchange for a timeshare presentation. Then my parents just sat there fir a few hours until the time was up and got our tickets + hotel room.
When OP on the first story said that he'll record the video on Skype. I was expecting him to record on OBS or a seperate device and when I heard "Ever heard of OBS?" My grin on my face turned into pure happiness.
Damn, I don't know what that company was in the IT guy story, but it seems to me that it also operates under Aria's Rules for Omega. #1 Rule being, "Don't fuck with me."
If you’re there to coast, being team guru and starting grudges is not something to focus on. It was his own fault, I have no doubt there were steps he could have taken to mitigate his condition that he ignored until it was too late as well.
I think I would have given Shane an ulimatum: "come clean, report yourself and clear my record, maybe they will forgive you if you show active remorse. You have 1 week to complie or I will report you." But yeah the guy did it to himself.
Story 1 is basically Spider-Man vs the Green Goblin. Goblin tries to kill Spider-Man by impaling him with the Goblin's glider. Spider-Man dodges, and the Goblin gets impaled by his own glider. The Goblin's son blames Spidey for his father's death.
I’m pretty confident I’ve heard you tell the 1st story before. I’ve heard it way too many times, but the last story was absolutely my favorite and laughed out loud.
Story 1: actions have consequences. Don’t play with fire,. I’m with RSlash, guy should have thought his actions through before pinning blame on op. The nail sticking up gets the hammer.
Regarding the last story: while I was saving for my house I went to a timeshare presentation. I did it for fun and for the free perks. By the time I had gone through every single sales person through the organization, one of them said they had never ever had anyone say no to each and every person. That's when I told him that I was saving for a house which is far more important than their timeshare.
So you're telling me all I have to do is sit through a couple of hour with the presentation and I get a free cruise? And I don't actually have to buy a timeshare holy crap that sounds like a scam that's also pretty easy to beat such that it doesn't seem like a very good scam to me.
First story: If you cannot swim you probably should not be rocking the boat. Shane would have done well to keep his head down low and just blend in with the furniture for the next few years and then quietly retire. It was not OP that killed Shane... it was Shane's pride.
You know what I would've done if I was falsely accused of intentional sabotage at my workplace by such an out-of-touch senior colleague? Tell the management that I'm officially handing over all the responsibilities of that section to the complainant because "they apparently know how to do my job better than me", as they will either backtrack in a heartbeat and get absolutely rimmed by management for it or they will double down on the act and make the company bleed money for a short while. And I'd just sit at the sidelines watching it unfold with a smirk until being properly apologized to. I wouldn't care if they have a serious medical condition either - if they suddenly disrespect me and try to ruin my livelihood out of sheer jealousy when they'd already set themselves for a stable future, I'm not gonna respect anything about them. You sleep in the bed you make, even if it is a hole with a tombstone over it.
I think the guy was just bragging because he wanted to. As in, not to make you feel bad or anything, you weren’t a consideration, just a captive audience he had distract and keep occupied until the tickets were ready.
My parents did one of those timeshare cruise things and it wasn’t their first time so they knew to just sit through the presentation. My dad was extremely abrasive and disruptive to the point that they warned him if he continued they would kick him out of the presentation and he wouldn’t get his tickets. He quickly shut up and my parents got to enjoy a nice cruise
SLA fines isn't government fines, it's "Service Level Agreement" fines. It's normal to have if you are providing a service, especially a critical one, but any proper agreement between customer and provider should have this baked in. SLA Fines are fines payed by the provider regardless if the customer is private company or public :)
There was a period of my childhood/teenagehood where my parents were roped into all these time share opportunities. They only fell for the first one (In florida which we still use) But with those we got to go to many other countries, guatemala, brazil, peru, etc. Got lots of fun trips, all inclusive resorts, disney perks and my parents learned to be non commital when it comes to purchases. Win-win.
Story 1: OP can feel guilty. But would anyone BLAME him, no. Guilt exists for when we do something wrong OR when we go too far. OP had options with that recording, someone died due to the recording being sent. OP can feel guilty, but he’s not the bad guy and he should not blame himself for that death. Our feelings are our own and people don’t get to tell us how we feel. If I were in OP’s place I would probably do everything exactly the same and I would feel guilty too. But destroying that cycle of newcomer abuse was overall good.
I know why OP feels guilty, I would too but that is not on him. That guy was willing to throw OP under the bus for no valid reason. He deserved to be fired, he did this to himself. He should have thought about what the worst outcome would be if anyone found out before doing this. OP just corrected people's view on himself, the repercussions could have devastated him without him doing anything wrong. It was simple self defense.
The first story is clearly a story that was a level of revenge that was far worse than it was expected in its sheer destructive power. Also, Shane reminds me of the part in Return of the Jedi where Leia used the chains to s t r a n g l e Jabba the Hutt to d e a t h, except that the OP used the truth, his connections, technology, and knowledge in place of the chains, and he brought down a lazy and a b u s i v e boss. Also, as for the second story, United States Marines are not only a very tough bunch of people, but that they are also, more often than not, a very smart bunch of people as well, and, although I do not condone drinking booze, I would have probably pulled a stunt like his, as well as bought the properties that they were trying to sell so that they could never ever enter into either timeshare OR HOA territories, just to spite BOTH types of people, instead of spending the money on booze.
Story one So hes overweight and his breathing issues are due to his weight and this has been going on for most of his life(you dont become over 400lbs over night). So when the tech field started to pass him he should have started making major lifestyle changes and educating himself. He could start by taking a daily walk while eating a low carb, low fat and low caloric diet, and incorporating intermediate fasting, to help him shed pounds. Even if he stayed at the job and was able to afford things, he was not changing his lifestyle at all when hes had a job, so he prob would have died while working for the company anyway. He was in the US im sure he could have gotten government help. Op should not feel bad, they didnt do anything to cause the issue. If the guy wanted to stay still retirement he should have adapted with the times and focused on his health.
Story 2: Having once attended a timeshare presentation for West Gate Resorts in Gatlinburg several years ago, I am enjoying the prorevenge here. Those presentations are so high pressure, but my husband and I shut them down and got $100 for our time, which we used to visit some attractions and to eat, so it was a win for us, not for them.
First story: Revenge is a sweet dish, but blackmail is the gift that keeps on giving. I can't blame OP, but he should have kept the recording in his pocket to hold it over the guy's head.
If your plan is to ride out your last years to retirement, and you absolutely need those retirement benefits, the two rules are don't make waves and CYA. Shane failed to do either. Also, those health problems Shane had? They may have been no fault of his but they also could have been brought on or exacerbated by life style choices, in which case it again would have been Shane's fault.
My parents went to one of those timeshare things before I was born. It was for free gift cards. They sat, listened, said they weren't interested, got their cards and left. Timeshares understand that they rope customers in with free stuff and it works. It just sometimes means that they lose money giving stuff away for free with no one buying into the timeshare.
So in the first story, what realy "killed" the old guy was the health(didn't)care of the US. If this story happend in a lot of European country, he still can have his medicine
The last time someone tried to fob a timeshare scam on me was last August when my family and I went to a known tourist island. Upon our arrival at the island, a woman gave us a free lunch buffet ticket for 3 to a well-known hotel there. I took the ticket but never showed up. I never mentioned to the woman that I know that they were trying to foist a timeshare scam on us.
The only reason why OP feels bad in the first story is because they actually have a conscience. Shane obviously didn’t. This is a classic case of “what goes around comes around”. OP May feel bad about “causing” Shane’s death, which I understand. But he shouldn’t feel too bad as for all we know, Shane sealed his own fate the moment he tried to frame OP. I mean who’s to say Shane’s dirty deed wouldn’t have been discovered if OP didn’t reveal it? His bragging could have eventually been the cause of its reveal. Basically one way or another these things come out.
Here's the thing, OP didn't cause Shane's demise. Shane self sabotaged himself in a number of ways. He was morbidly obese and did not take advantage of his company's health insurance to find ways to lose the extra weight, instead he invested all his hope on a future retirement plan. However, he didn't put in the effort to keep his guru status by learning the new programming language and software. Then he became insecure in his irreplaceable status so he tried to throw OP under the bus. He made his own problem. OP is not at fault.
Yeah, honestly, we see this over and over: "Hey, I exposed a bad person for doing bad things and now they're facing the consequences of their own actions. AITA?" The answer is almost always no. Shane may have died, but it was because his desire to put a young 'un in their place overrided his common sense. If he wasn't a prick, then it wouldn't have happened. End of.
For the first one, I would have given him a chance, but only if he corrected the story about the incident. If he came forward, he may not have been fired, but it would definitely have been a serving of crow. Timeshare sales pitches can be fun if you know you aren't buying and you watch to see what sales tactics they use. I'll bet there is a timeshare pitch bingo card out there. It's fun bringing up how you can get timeshares for free online by just taking over the maintenance payments. When I was going it was before having universal internet on the phone to prove this.
My parents got a free Vegas weekend, with which they'd have to sit through a time share presentation. Having never been to Vegas, they took the reservation. My father passed suddenly, but my brother suggested as they had the reservation "anyway," we could pool our money and I could go as well. My brother and mom dutifully attended the presentation, politely said *Nope* at its conclusion, and we enjoyed our first time in Las Vegas.
The first story i think the guy feels guilty but the company was terrible for telling op the guy they fired rather than probation with pay (coz you know that would have helped the person), that he literally died. Like as if that wouldn't cause trauma in some way.
On one hand, sorry that Shane died. On the other, he basically dug his own grave, essentially killing himself without realizing it. If he'd not been a prick, he would've retained his position, and retained his bonus/retirement package.
1st story. while he deserved to lose his job OP just helped a huge company pocket extra money by screwing him out of his retirement. He did work 40+ years and was excellent at his job until the new software came in. The company saw that as a loophole to not pay out. So op screwed Shane and made sure a corporation save some bucks. Hope OP likes it when they find a way to screw them out of retirement as well.
The guy wanted to be as lazy as possible to ride until his upcoming retirement kicked in, but the attitude that he still expected to be the MVP despite that is the icing on the cake that doomed him.
dang bro messed with the it guy a little too much if he died well it’s a dog eat dog world out there bro came to op trying to mess up his career for no reason op just defended themselves it was the company that handled the rest
The timeshare one reminds me of a presentation I had to go to with my mother as a kid at Disney World. On the plus side, at least it was actually entertaining since the presenter turned out to be a magician from one of those talent shows on tv (I think he said AGT, but that was too long ago to remember for sure) and used a lot of tricks during it 😂
I just can't get over how fucking entitled some people in the comments are!!! Please, point me to a RU-vidr that has been dishing out 1 video a day FOR ALMOST 5 YEARS, and who puts so much effort into pleasing his subscribers. JUST ONE. Eeeeasy to complain ain't it. Don't like it? Go somewhere else!!! I swear some people comment just to vent their frustration. Did no one notice how he had a freaking baby 2yrs ago, and STILL didn't miss his deadlines? Who cares if they are not there when you drink your morning coffee 😢 boohoo! They are still being posted on the fucking daily! To all complainers, stay the hell out of the comments, you're ruining our experience with your negativity. And I really hope @rSlash sees this. You're awesome dude!
I got free tickets for a cruise, I went to their presentation and we had this young sales guy doing the same thing. He was bragging about how much money he makes, and was insisting that we get the timeshare, and how much money we could make renting it out on Air BnB. I then asked him if that's the case, why shouldn't I just buy the condo out right and rent it out year round? Then I wouldn't have to just rent it during my reserved time. He claimed it would be very expensive, and he said it would financially strain us since we would add this as an extra expense to our finances. I then explained that we had no financial expenses, that I paid cash for our home and vehicles, and we had no debts, so why would I want to share a vacation property? I'd rather purchase it, then rent it out, or better yet, buy or build a home on the beach and live there. When he did a credit check on me, he discovered how well off I was, so he left us alone and immediately gave us our tickets with the premium upgrade. We loved Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
