Was driving into work when a car peeled out of a local bar's parking lot and nearly broadsided me. Enough distance before he stopped but it was close enough. So I keep driving to work, pull into my parking spot and this same weird-rear end looking car pulls up next to me. The passenger looks at me and full on straight up punches my driver-side window. How he didn't break it was beyond me. But if that window wasn't up, I was getting straight-up cold-clock knocked the gently caress out. No doubt.
He was rearing back again when the driver peeled out of there and probably saved my car from a broken window at least.
The next day, I'm heading out to my car to work...
And that same weird-rear end looking car is parked in the parking lot of the apartment building next my house. As it was every day for the next few months.
That driver lived next door to me, and if his buddy actually hit me, would have been the product of the most ridiculous bit of schadenfeude I can imagine.

Crowdfunding site Indiegogo allows people to create fundraising projects for personal emergencies and life issues and as you can imagine there's an endless parade of idiots who have hosed up their lives and can't think of any way out except to beg for money from internet strangers. Here's a few random selections of people whose lives are shittier and more pathetic than yours:

"This person had then used the order number to tell Amazon that the items didn't arrive (I don't know how they did this), thus the full refund was paid into my bank account. I told Amazon that the I-pads did arrive and they needed to re-charge me."

"We run out of money, so i get idea to try play black jack."

"One of the cops beat me to the ground after I had called him a fascist pig."

"I went to the "FBI" "Cyber Squad" and made a complaint and they told me that they do not have enough man power to find out who is behind the Defamation Campaign and because I'm not a known Talent that they cannot do anything for me. "

The NPD "aren't really nazis" in the same way as Golden Dawn isn't, they're just slightly more circumspect about it.


For related schadenfreude, at some point the NPD's chairman decided to advertise with she slogan "throttle up" which in german is phrased as "giving gas". As you might imagine, this did not exactly go over well. But overnight some enterprising individuals replaced those posters with some that featured Jörg Haider, an even greater shitheel and chairman of the even more extreme austrian party FPÖ, who'd just recently managed to kill himself while driving drunk and speeding.

Anti-vaxer megachurch hit with measles; now offers free vaccinations

My favorite part: "Of course it didn't come from someone inside the church! It came from some dirty outsider!"

quote:

Eagle Mountain International Church, about 50 miles northwest of Dallas, released a statement Tuesday that said a visitor attended a service who had been overseas and was exposed to measles.

“Therefore the congregation, staff at Kenneth Copeland Ministries and the daycare center on the property were exposed through that contact,” the statement said.


E: Article is 2 years old, but in the wake of recent events it seems relevant.

These are fantastic! I googled Alan Trudeau, the guy who wanted the FBI cybersquad to help him. First of all, his IMDB page has one credit, where he played "EMT" in a movie called the Losers in 2010. His money making scheme seems to be convincing Puerto Ricans to pay him $7,000 to be members of his model/actor talent agency.

WebDog dug up some extra info on him in the GBS Kickstarter thread:

WebDog posted:

Hah, from what I can dig up (it's mostly in Spanish) he's a no-name extra and model who fills his facebook pages with tales of grandeur on being seen in the background of some film or so.

To cite an example; his claim of "The SAG is the highest reputation you can get as an actor!".
You simply have to appear in at least three commercials. Tommy Wiseau managed to do this by shooting ads for his own business, starring himself.

The main beef comes from him allegedly claiming to be from the International Model Talent Agency and hosting events at conferences where he appears to bill people twice the amount that's actually charged, then press them for further fees, all the while anyone who ends up in these "training" sessions get lumped with other unexpected fees that they were told had been paid for; like transport.

Plus there's other allegations that he pursues underage women for photo shoots.

And he wonders why his reputation is in tatters.

It's even easier to join SAG-AFTRA than that. As a non-union extra you can sometimes get lucky enough to be given union vouchers (payslips); get three of those and you're eligible. If you get given a line (extraordinarily rare but it does happen) then you're eligible. If you get cast in a speaking role in a SAG-AFTRA production, you're eligible.

If he considers that an actor's highest goal, it just shows how low down on the showbiz food chain he really is.

vvv Those are my favorite kinds of schadenfreude, where someone's got a record of the moment before disaster strikes. :allears:

Who wants some internet Schadenfreude, courtesy of the Games Speedrun thread?

So, a dude with the nickname 'MK Wizard' has several recorded gaming world records. He posted a new record video on some site, and people over there proved it had been tampered with. Being exposed as a fraud, he reacts in the most Schadenfreudy way possible. I don't know too much about that community but still enjoyed reading it.

The post in which he was exposed. Read the rest of that thread for his reactions. Apparently moderation is loving slow there, so he's still posting.

As someone over there summarizes, this is basically what happened:

quote:

1. You post a video in which you cheated. You now claim you knowingly did this as "a test".
2. Zallard1 calls you out, which you now claim you knew he was going to "jump in".
3. You start by completely ignoring the cheating allegations until more adjudicators jump in, you know, like how they're supposed to.
4. You claim it's the "internet trolls" and "online bullies" who are persecuting you.
5. More members jump in. You change your name in your signature and assume a new identity, and now try to use the "hackers" excuse as your way out.
6. You delete the cheating video from your YouTube channel to attempt to hide evidence. Thankfully Zallard1 saved it before you could do so.
7. After continuing to be called out, you come back into the thread and say you don't plan on submitting records, hate the site layout, don't need TG, and hope TG fails. You also credit Rocky Rose to your training, who has made multiple calculated threats against my life.
8. You send a message to zallard1 calling him a "little troll", telling him to stay on his "little SDA website" and that he's a "cheater".
9. You make another post saying "TG is built to fail unlike me" and that you "succeed in the real world with a good paying computer job" and "don't sit around in my Mom's house and play video games".
10. Jace, by the grace of God, offers you only a six month ban if you confess and apologize.
11. Your entire tune changes. Now you claim you deliberately did this, and we need to be a mature group of adjudicators and have mercy on you.
