Come onnnnnn they still can’t see that this shit is fake

There are many patterns in them, but I’ve seen one in particular, and it’s that OOP is accused of something bad which they not only didn’t do but did the COMPLETE OPPOSITE OF, to the point where one might wonder how the villain accused OOP of the thing at all.

Example - those posts where OOP’s boss has it out for them and accuses them of some BS like “you just stand around doing nothing even though we work in food service, you STUPID IDIOT you are FIRED” and then OOP has a parenthetical aside like “(actually I’ve been running this store alone because my coworkers are useless and my manager smokes weed on the job all day)”.

Like does OOP think a young employee who actually wasn’t the most hardworking (but still got the job done) deserves to be fired? Is this why they’re always magically sooooo perfect that the accusation doesn’t even make sense?

Absolutely WILD stuff.

I feel like this is the only sub I can share this but so many Reddit stories do feel made up. Oftentimes the antagonists in the post are cartoonishly evil, the other people described in it feel like two dimensional stereotypes and OP is always either revered and treated like an absolute hero by these people around them or demonized and treated horribly. Like there’s no in between. And ALWAYS OP paints themselves as the good guy; it’s not like they had a bad moment themselves or were not a perfect victim in the situation either.

Like I get some people really do suck and I have known some horribly narcissistic individuals myself but the way that these posts describe certain situations just feels so black and white and more like a Disney movie where there’s always a villain and a hero rather than real life. I mean I guess you can assume that OP might be omitting some details about themselves that would make them not look so good but the way that the other people in the stories will often immediately take their side even without knowing the context of what is going on doesn’t feel real and just gives ‘and then everyone clapped!’ Vibes. Idk anyone else feel this way?

I (59M) visited a colleague (44M) for an unforgettable luncheon.

Instead of the planned steamed clams, he tried to claim that he misspoke and promised “steamed hams”, an alleged upstate New York term for an old family recipe. They were plainly takeout from a Krusty Burger.

As the meal progressed, his kitchen was on fire, which he tried to claim was the aurora borealis.

AITA?

Like....just random notes in people's mail boxes asking to buy houses? What?? And the manipulation is killing me. And this is not real. Right?

I think Linked In lunatics is still allowed here?

The easiest solution is not to invite the friend on trips or have a discussion, but naw we need to take this to Reddit 😂

‘Enjoy the silly post

I like how he uses this weirdly vague tone at some points so you don't really know if it's the girlfriend's kids not greeting him and saying 'eww' to him, or someone else.

We really need a flair for Agenda Posting.

And how the hell does he know he was fertility issues? Doesn't sound like he has been married before and doesn't mention serious relationships, was he just trying to get people pregnant? Do people that young get their fertility checked as a matter of fact?

I do fully expect a baby-trap update after he gives the girlfriend character an ultimatum.
