"When people slow down as soon as they cut in front onto your lane on the highway. Worst is when they do it with no blinkers."
"People do this on busy sidewalks too. Someone will completely cut you off and then immediately slow down when they look down at their phone. Passed the same person 4 times on the way to work yesterday because they kept speeding past me then look down and half their speed. Pretty sure he gave ME a dirty look each time too!"

Kicker....
Kick Groin GIF by IdiocracyGiphyI came here to write about the kid who kicked me in my penis in grade 1 so hard I had to miss school.
Trauma....
I worked with children with special needs, particularly those who were psychologically traumatized by past experiences. As you'd expect, a lot of these kids could be really volatile and prone to long, violent outbursts if something triggered them. Everyone on the team had their own schedule given to us by the co-ordinator.
There was once a woman on the team who hated some of the structured therapy she was specifically trained for and had a strong dislike of some of the children.
On several occasions, to avoid leading therapy sessions or working with kids she didn't like, she'd deliberately trigger a child shortly before the session so she had the excuse that she had to stay with that child and "handle" the incident (which would sometimes then turn into a whole-day episode when it could have been de-escalated quickly if it was handled properly) rather than go do what she was supposed to be doing.
Literally messing with the heads of already traumatized children because she couldn't be bothered to run her therapy sessions.
While Driving....
Met a couple in a restaurant once during a meet and mingle event. When they learned about my country of origin, they shared that they had once run over some people at a pedestrian crossing while stationed there in the military during a drunk driving spree.
Apparently one of the people run over died but the Army was able to fly them back stateside before the investigation got started.
They were inordinately proud at how they escaped prosecution and how much they had achieved in life since then. I didn't feel a need to further deepen our acquaintance after that.
On Camera....
Used to work at a place where we took care of mentally and physically disabled people. Had a coworker that would trigger the patients and then steal anything she could during the commotion.
She triggered one of the bigger clients, who tossed her to a wall, she suffered from back pains and broken bones.
CCTV showed her abusing and berating the client and threatening him with a fork.
Walter?
shocked dean norris GIF by Breaking BadGiphyMy brother, he's currently in jail for running a meth lab, possession of an illegal firearm, distribution, kidnapping, assault with a deadly weapon, and evading the police. That's just the crimes that they knew about and not a tenth of what my family suspects that he's guilty of.
Toxic Workplace.
All the people at my old job. Long story short, I reported child abuse going (victims were one years old) on in the preschool I worked at, got talked into resigning by the CEO and defamed by bosses and got really bad references which made it hard to find a job. I hope they all die.
Also, the 6 other teachers they questioned lied to cps. At least 10 teachers at the school (excluding me) know about the two teachers I reported. I think they questioned 6 others besides me. Most of them were covering up for their friend and the others were scared b!tches.
If one other teacher had said something, justice may have been served.
The Ex
My ex literally made a job of taking advantage of kind and naive women so that he never had to actually work more than a week in his life. He always finds girls and manipulates them into paying for his food, gas, cigarettes, a place to stay, and whatever his heart desires. His ex directly before me had just turned eighteen.
I was probably his oldest girlfriend, but he was also my first serious relationship.
He also would take full advantage of any friends. Anytime anyone would show him any sort of kindness, he'd milk it into getting whatever he wanted out of them while simultaneously talking sh!t about them behind their back.
Oh Cuz...
My cousin! He stole medications from my grandmother while mistreating her, is a super racist, a super sexist, tweaker dude.
I mean I feel like there's something wrong in someone's heart when they're able to do one of those things that leads them to do the others.
Like once you're able to look at someone of another race or gender and go "that person isn't human to me," or if you're able to beat another human being its not like you have much in the way of conscience keeping you from doing literally whatever u want.
For the Cash
I knew a guy who ran over his own son (2yo, I think), and got $70,000 in life insurance for it. He always told the story like it was a win-win; "one less kid to deal with, and a lot of free money." He got fired for drugs, and nobody missed him.
I have no Bunny....
wo glenn close GIFGiphyMy stalker. She is a full grown woman who I've only met a handful of times, but she tells everyone who will listen (some of which happen to be our mutual friends) that her and I are close and best buddies and all that.
At the beginning of this summer it started to escalate to the point where I considered getting a restraining order, and I rounded up three witnesses who could confirm they had heard her say wacko things. One example of the things she would say is one time, while she was AT WORK, she admitted to someone that she has followed me home before if she "accidentally" met up with my car in town. I only know this because the person she told is the friend of my best friend's boyfriend, and I've met him. There are so many other things I could say about her. I wish she was out of my life.

Redditor GhostRxm wanted to hear about the time they saw reality catch up with spoiled kids finally by asking:
"What was the best moment you've seen where the real world hit a spoiled rich kid?"
"take care of it"
Freshman year of college - the guy across the hall from me is a spoiled rich kid from a big southern city. Old money clearly coming out his butt. A couple weeks into the second semester he and a buddy found a checkbook on the sidewalk. Stupid fools decided to write themselves a check and cash it in the bank that the account is in. The teller immediately called the cops and they both got arrested.
We talked the night he got arrested and he laughed and said his dad would "take care of it" and everything would be fine. That weekend we met his dad as they moved everything out of the dorms since his dumb ass got expelled. Guess daddy didn't take care of it. sarcasm_hurts
Absolute flatline....
Somewhat distant relative spent all of his university years and twenties partying hard with the ~100-120K allowance his rich company owning father gave him each year. He'd travel the world each year going to Bali, Thailand, Europe, every year Oktoberfest, just rampaging.
At 32 or so he decided to settle an upscale ski resort area of the US and open a business with his hot gold digger fiance. When he went to transfer his money to his US bank account he noticed it only came to a few thousand dollars. He angrily asked the bank worker why she hadn't transferred the entire amount only to be told that that was the entire amount. His father had cut him off without saying anything and he just hadn't noticed.
Absolute flatline. _TheOneYouTrust_
Wall Hole.
Spoiled rich kid showed up to school in a $325,000 sports car. He was showing off, lost control of the car, and drove it through a brick wall and totaled it. Galemianah
GiphySo what do his parents do?
This kid. He was a 17 year old in my dads hometown that was known for driving fast and being an all around moron on the road. He had multiple speeding tickets and a DUI on record. AT 17! The DUI incident was actually a car crash that totaled his car and led to him having his jaw wired shut. So what do his parents do? They give him his license back and buy him a brand new car, which I'm pretty sure was a WRX. Which crashed into a utility truck killing himself, his sister and her friend while doing almost twice the speed limit on a residential road. Lyn1987
The Starbuck's Girl...
Oh I have one!
I used to work at Starbucks and there was a girl that was just newly hired and in training. Mind you she was 20 years old and her parents made her get a job. She grew up in a very wealthy family.
On her first or second day, I had instructed her to do the dishes to help catch us up for closing. She looked at me with these lost eyes and told me she doesn't know how. Apparently she grew up with house maids and literally has never cleaned a dish in her entire life. I had to teach her step by step how to clean a dish. rubbermbn
I Hate Pouters...
I knew one who apparently couldn't fathom how people live on a budget.
We used to hang out a lot at her insistence but she liked to eat at expensive places whereas I'd have no issue having my meals somewhere cheaper.
However, she kept pouting and insisting I stay. I said I couldn't unless she wanted to spot me. She didn't.
I then walked her through the math and showed her that the cost of my meals with her, everyday, totaled my entire wage for the month.
She didn't stop pouting but from then on I could eat by myself in peace. paganbreed
GiphyShots Away!
In a country with high alcohol taxation. Rich kids enter pub, like 10-12 of them, throw card at bartender, demanding shots.
"What would y'all like?"
"Whatever lol, dad is paying lmao."
Bartender pours double J.W. Blues for all the brats and some randoms that they treated.
Brat with card had tears in his eyes when the tab came in.
"Dad's going to kill me.."
I did enjoy the free whisky though. 77w0

Where's the $$$$?!
My best moment was when I got hired by a pair of Woodside, CA parents to transition their horrible 18 year old into the realities of "real life", something that evaded both of them. My first action was to take away his platinum, limitless, credit cards. He threw a tantrum that lasted several days. "Where am I going to get money? " Get a job. "My parents will fire you." They didn't. When he realized that boundaries & budgets had been set in stone, and that he not only had to pay the bills, the rent, but taxes too, he headed straight to college to wait out the next 4 years. He is still a little jerk, but at least he has a job and an education now. suspect309

Never Came Back.
I went to school with a kid who always had a new fancy car or truck because his dad owned one of the biggest construction companies in the area. This kid was a major fool and double/triple parked his big trucks all the time. Once he got some sort of fast fancy car and went over 110 mph and was getting chased by state police. He had friends in the car that were telling him to stop and slow down but he wouldn't. I believe he was also drunk. BUUUT he ended up crashing into a business doing a ton of damage. He got hit with 3-4 felonies. Driving over 100 mph is a crime in most states and he got multiple kidnapping charges because the passengers were freaking out. Dude never came back to school and I have no clue what he's doing now. gomugomunorocket42
Idiots....
No joke here. Back in high school (90's) this kid got a brand new Chevy Camaro. I had an old ass 80's Pontiac Phoenix that had the straight six. It was by far not a racing car but this tool was just looking to brag at what he got compared to the busted cars we got. About 2 days later, while we were waiting at a stop light this idiot tries to race us as I am in my car and I pull up with my friends. He does starts by revving it really loud and tries to do a burnout. Mind you the light was red and the roads were not wet. So he managed to get a tiny burnout going, some smoke and what not... When his tires did catch traction, he went barreling into the intersection and smashed the car of the wife of one of the VERY FEW cops in my small city. Needless to say, that didn't work out for him very well. Xercister
Oh JB!
I saw Justin Bieber throw a fit and end up not getting what he wanted.
We have quarterly teambuilding exercises at my company where you basically go and play minigolf or some other activity capped at $25/person. Sometime between 2009 and 2011 (I really can't remember exactly) my group just decided to go for a fancy lunch in Downtown Portland. After lunch we took one of our coworkers to the semi-famous Nike store which was a couple of blocks away and that was the day Justin Bieber happened to show up.
GiphyWhen he and his entourage arrived he said something somewhat loudly along the lines of "Y'all are going to have to leave for a bit 'cause I'm here to do some shopping" and some of his people acted like they were going to try and politely force the already-present customers out of the store so Bieber could shop alone but the Nike employees even more politely told him that was not possible. At that point Bieber lost it-I mean he threw a total tantrum because they wouldn't shut down the store for him. The tantrum didn't work and he and his folks left in a huff.
That's really my only "celebrity in the wild" encounter and it's freaking lame. Oakwood2317
License Revoked.
Knew a rich kid whose parents bought a car for and he treated it like absolute garbage. Purposely driving it really hard and generally abusing it, confident in the notion that his parents would buy him the one he wanted after he destroyed the one they got him. Well they didn't buy him another one, ever. He rode the city bus and bummed rides off of friends after that. He was the most entitled fool I'd ever met, if he was over at your house he would just help himself to whatever was in the fridge like it was some sort of paid buffet. Ajj360
Full of Crap.
Saw a college guy with a ridiculously expensive car (can't remember the model) rear-end this woman who drove an absolute beater. Her car was definitely totaled and his wasn't looking that hot either. He got out and started screaming at this woman. She was in tears. He kept telling her that she was going to pay for this.
When the cops came, I saw each of them give their statements. After that, me and like 10 people came forward and gave our witness statements. It sounded like each and every one of us put complete fault on him (which was the truth). When the cops went back to him, I saw his face just sink. He probably told them it was her fault and just found out that two handfuls of people just confirmed that he's full of crap.
I've never seen that many witnesses stick around for a simple traffic accident. I think the other people felt the same way I did: that kid was a douche and should be punished for what he did. the_planes_walker
The Wake Up Call...
One of my college roommates was very rich growing up. I didn't realized just how rich until I had to explain to her what a coupon was in very extensive detail. On multiple occasions she bragged that she wasn't even interested in her major (philosophy), or college in general, but she was at uni because her parents were requiring her to get a degree, any degree, in order to get access to her trust fund. I don't remember ever seeing her go to class and she eventually got expelled sophomore year over academic dishonesty. I guess this was the last straw for her parents because they cut her off pretty soon after that.
This actually served as a wake up call. She somehow managed to get a public health degree at a different school in spite of the academic dishonesty listed on her transcript. She's doing pretty well for herself these days. We've kept in touch and last we talked she was considering grad school. __justbecause
Vote Daughter.
Local business owner puts son through college and more. When kid graduates with multiple degrees dad decides to retire and turn over business to son. Son brings college cronies on board, has management all wear white cowboy hats and drive white pickups, begins revamping business. Dad comes out of retirement pronto, gets rid of son and cronies. Years later bankrolls son's run for state rep. The son lost. Dad dies and leaves business to daughter. theoriginalalexa
GiphyHere's a switch....
Here's a switch.... highly successful local doctor/politician expects son to attend medical school and become doctor. Son opts out, gets job with new company called Costco, pumping gas. He's been with that company ever since, just his regular pay raises and bonus checks give him a good life. He just didn't want the high stress life his dad had. theoriginalalexa
With a Pint.
About 10 years ago I was having a pint with a friend of mine. His family crap gold I swear. I mentioned I was struggling with rent and bills while in College and he just said "get your mum to pay for it then mate?" She's disabled and we've never had real money.
He instantly realized what he said and did feel bad about it. I think it was the first time he really understood that not everyone has their parents to lean on financially. aj_ramone
Scum.
Rich scummy injury lawyer's kid was in my class in HS. Goes to college (mid size school in the Midwest) and gets plastered drunk (parents bought him and his friends alcohol since freshman year so nothing new) and RA says he has to write him up for alcohol in the dorms. Punches 2 RAs, then gets cops called on him and knocks a cop's tooth out. Long story short his parents have to drive back 6-7 hours after one day to get him and he's not even allowed to leave the state until his hearing. Last I heard he's working at a fast food establishment. cjmadsoncjmadson
With no adult in the party.
While working in a casino here in Las Vegas, a herd of girls came to my window, & one proceeded to tell me about her great birthday party itinerary that her dad had paid for. For her 18th birthday. With no adult in the party. Just a bunch of teenaged girls, out in Vegas.
Where none of them could do anything because none of them were 21. I couldn't even check them into their reservation. They start yelling & screaming at me, I calmly call security - and security tells them they can either "go play in the arcade" or leave & try to find a hotel off the Strip that will take them in w/out being 21. The anger turns to tears, the security guard is unmoved. janefromvegas
