HIGH SCHOOL | CA, USA | AWESOME, TEACHERS
(I am an English teacher, and sixth period is one of my Junior-level classes. A student falls asleep in class and just will not wake up, not even after I draw on his face with water-soluble ink. So I get the rest of the class to hide in the hallway, and then I come running back into the classroom to wake my kiddo up.)

Me: “Oh, my God! There’s a survivor!”

Student: *stares blankly, blinking the sleep away* “How long have I been asleep…?”

Me: “Long enough for the world to end.”

The idea is not bullshit, but the long winded "explain everything about the situation to someone who knows it already in the note, instead of just leaving a phone number or telling them to knock on your door" is really obviously fake.

Not if the author of the note was a Nice Guy, who wrote it to "help" the owner of a car, who was a woman female, which he already knew by being a creepyNice Neighbor. That's what I got from it, which makes it semi-believable.

One point in the poster's favor is that the crease at the bottom does look, as far as I can tell, like it was pinned under someone's windshield.

Story time: Between the ages of about 8-15, my mother lived with and then married this guy who used to hit me a lot. Any time I spoke back to him, any time I made a face to show I wasn't happy, any time he thought I was lying about finishing my homework, any time I proved him wrong for something. WHACK! An open-hand backslap across the face, and sometimes a belting across the rear end with a spoon or belt. We're not talking basic child-rearing taps, here. We're talking painful, welt-leaving beltings.

I told my mother about it, and she never believed me. I told my school counsellor, my teachers, and he was asked about it, he played it off like he was just administering punishment for me being a poo poo, as a parent has a right to do. Of course, it was the 90s - parents wouldn't get a second look for spanking their kid or giving them a slap if they were really mouthing off.

Finally, my mother's employee caught him in the act of backhanding me across the face and told my mother. To her credit, she argued with him, and their marriage was over shortly after.. but I think she was just looking for an excuse, and I had to keep living with him, where he hit me more often and harder. After a few more months, my mother met a new man, and I moved in with them at his house.

Many, many years later, I'm 30. My mother talks with him now and then, and I haven't spoken a word to him since I moved out. There's a knock at my door a couple of days ago, and there the son of a bitch is. Looking older, but still like an rear end in a top hat, and suitcase in hand.

"Hey son," he says, smile on his face. He used to call me 'son,' though more of a nickname than actually trying to be a father.

"What the gently caress do you want, Frank?" I hadn't thought of him in years, but all those years later, all the hatred I had for him welled up again. Note: his name isn't really Frank.

"Well," he looked both uncomfortable and trying to look as friendly as possible, "I told your mother I was in town for a conference, and she said I could come here and see if I could sleep on your couch for a night or two. I just got off the train. It's been ages - I want to hear all about how you're doing. Your mother says you're a photographer? I brought my camera with me!" He tried to make his way into my home.

"You son of a bitch. You come to MY house, after 15 loving years, no loving warning, after what you used to do to me, and expect to come into my loving house?" He looked even more uncomfortable, and asked what he did to me that would make me so angry. So I told him. I reminded him how he used to hit me all the time. Or beat me with a belt. How he used to beat me for telling on him. How he used to ask me if I'd done my homework when he caught me reading books, then hit me when I said I had, and hit me when I showed him that I had.

"Son, that wasn't beating. It was just punishment when you were bad. All parents do it!" He reached over to grab my shoulder, and I shoved him away, telling him to gently caress off to whatever hole he crawled out of, and never come back. I picked up his suitcase and threw it out my front gate. He then lunged forward and raised his hand to strike me backhanded across the face, but I was too fast for him. I lifted my arm and blocked his strike, then twisted his arm around in that move that most self-defense classes teach you, where you cause pain and immobilise them by twisting their hand in the same direction as their thumb. I held him down like that and made him cry out.

"Get your poo poo. Get back on your loving train. Never come back here again." And then I pulled my fist back and punched him as hard as I could across the jaw, sending him spiralling. He stumbled away, grabbed his bag, and started begging for me to just listen to him, so I reached into my doorway and picked up a baseball bat I kept there, just in case, and he booked it as quickly as he could to anywhere but my front door.

There's 20 years of poo poo all gone. I've never felt so uplifted.

Thanks for reading, Imgur!

To be fair I can believe this might have happened. 2Edgy4u would have been the op nodding and smiling as he let the guy in and then tie him down to perform Chinese nipple torture on him or something. He told the guy to gently caress off in a totally believable manner and didn't employ his krav maga fighting techniques. There wasn't even a single utterance of "this kid is inhuman!". I'm going to say that it's a pretty plausible stdh.

If the event in question did happen its been exaggerated to gently caress. The way he describes using 'that move self-defense classes teach you' to instantly immobilize the guy. Not to mention punching a 50+ year old man in the face as hard as possible and the only repercussion is that he leaves.
