What is the podcast about?
Welcome to Reddit Stories. I'm Shane, and today's theme is all about revenge. And I'm joined by two people who I plan on getting revenge on. Wait. Chance and Courtney.
Revenge? What did I do? What did I do? Welcome to Reddit Stories. I'm gonna get revenge.
Hell yeah. Okay, well there's now why I need to get revenge, because you just did that. Welcome to Reddit Stories. Okay, you guys are giving me the reasons. Welcome to Reddit Stories.
You guys are giving me the reasons. My name is Shantop.
I took it too far. It's okay. I do sound like that. It's time for some revenge. How do we feel about revenge in general? I think it's very entertaining to listen to stories of revenge. I do not like revenge. I'm not someone who seeks revenge.
Yeah, I don't participate in it, but we'll watch. Yeah.
It's an entertaining trope. Here's what I like is karmic justice.
That's what it is.
I like when you're not putting the intention into the revenge, the revenge just kind of happens. And there's a lot of times, though, where I think people go, oh, that was karma. And I was like, no, that's just the natural progression of events from making a bad choice to that. But I agree.
It's the whole rotting fruit will fall on its own.
Wow. Wow. I've never heard that.
It's a long game. Revenge is doing your best, and if somebody else that hurt you falls...
I think that's a take I have on revenge, which is I, especially if someone wrongs you and you spend a lot of energy and effort in getting revenge on them, I'm like, all I think it signals is that you are still hyper-focused on them. Yeah. On someone who doesn't care about you and is disrespected. I'm like, the best thing you can do is just focus on yourself. Yeah. But we'll see.
We shall see, maybe we'll change our minds today.
Oh yeah, let's see. All right, our first story comes from Petty Revenge. Cab driver rips me to shreds thinking I can't understand him, but I can. Oh, see. Classic, classic. Obligatory, this happened several years ago. A few months after I moved to Chicago, I had moved there from Romania where I'd been living and going to school. love romania people are great drop what you're doing and visit anyway while i was there due to my living situation i had to learn the language fast and thoroughly not many people around me spoke english outside of the uni i was at so fast forward to the few months after i arrived in chicago Imagine my surprise when the driver of the Uber I had ordered appeared to have a Romanian name.
The area had a lot of Eastern Europeans, so I guess it shouldn't have been so surprising. I was really excited to talk to him and make sure I wasn't getting rusty. Maybe make a friend. Up pulls the guy, I get in, he greets me, but he appears to be on the phone with a buddy slash family member, so I just sit quietly in the back, listening in a bit. The person on the other end asks if the driver is getting off work soon. He responded with something like the following. Yeah. was used to it, but I was a bit shocked that this guy was going off like that. Anyway, I'm just kinda sitting bemused in the backseat as we near my destination. Then I tell him, in Romanian, with all my might trying to pull off the distinct accent of the region I'd been living in, can you just pull over there on the right? I swear this guy's head did the exorcist girl's head move. And he turned a shade of red I have seen nowhere else in nature. He didn't say anything, just pulled over.
When I got out, I said thanks and added, you're not attractive and you're also fat, so maybe you shouldn't make comments like that. I have never again reached such levels of self-pride. That, I changed my mind about revenge. That's not even revenge. I was gonna say, that's not revenge. That's the situation that he put himself in. She informed him of the reality of the situation.
Love that.
She was in full, yeah, she was right all the way.
That's retaliation.
Yeah, it's such a power that people who speak multiple languages have, is you probably end up hearing people talk shit when they don't know.
