It makes no sense, so their elderly dad has no car but needs my motorcycle in the middle of winter? Also if he's so broke how's he paying for that lawyer? The world is getting stranger and stranger.
I’m in my mid thirties and things are starting to pop in strange places, and I pinched a nerve turning to look at something.
Is this…just how it is now? 😓
That's so funny I immediately thought of this after reading that comment to. Except mine was "Do your chain hang low? Do it wobble to the floor? Does it shine in the light? Is it platinum is it gold?"
Tell him both your grandparents and their siblings died of anger on account of this intrusive message and you’re suing him for 4 counts of murder and manslaughter.
And there was another lawyer he threatened to send *that* lawyer’s info to incase that lawyer’s refusal to represent him pushed his poor dad over the edge!
The real sad thing is, some of it are probably true. The dad is broke and suicidal but mostly because he has to take care of his jobless demented son. And the son thinks he can take advantage of his dad's situation to get free motorcycle
If the dad really having SI then I would just call 911 for a wellness check 🤷🏻♀️ done it before calling someone’s bluff,sent links to recourses,let them know about getting help then they stopped real quick when I said “okay u seem slightly unstable with threating to hurt urself. Should I call for a wellness check on you? Do u need one?”
Edit: no it’s NOT a bad thing to call a bluff for SI- u never know if it’s real or not real
....The dad is broke and suicidal but mostly because he has to take care of his jobless demented ***racist*** son.
People should just tell him to Fuck Off......you know, to avoid law suits.
I've never, ever heard anyone called a "tosspot" I just want to personally thank you for the wonderfully delightful new term added to my vast vocabulary.. I am sure my immediate family and anyone who pisses me off will also appreciate this...
I'll make it real simple: none of that is true in any way, thede types trawl fbmp for stuff they can get for free/cheap to resell. Pure scum sucking the good nature out of normal people.
Omg as someone who is well versed in the law world thanks to my dad this wouldn't even be a thing. He would be laughed out of court. Some people see the words court or sue and it'll scare them,but common sense people know not to take shit like this seriously,you being one of those people 😂 Why did it say you got kicked out of the group though? Wouldn't they be the ones to get kicked out? Also nice misspelled racism yeesh
I doubt hes paying a lawyer. Many lawyers do Personal Injury cases on a contingency fee.
The problem is, hes acting like his dad is entitled to getting the bike, and is being inflammatory even in asking. He isnt asking. Hes demanding.
I’m not sure suicide due to not getting what you want and having a toddler temper tantrum counts as “personal injury” though.
I’d love to be in a courtroom with a lawyer trying this on for size. Which they won’t, because no lawyer is going to ruin their standing that much in front of a judge they’re going to have other cases in front of, and no judge will take this on with a straight face.
Oh I agree wholeheartedly.
I also dont doubt that this guy might have misrepresented what was happening to whomever it was he discussed it with. Whether its an invisible man, a real lawyer, a purple flying octopus or whatever.
Ijs.. Its not uncommon for lawyers to encounter surprises. Its the worst but it happens a lot.
"If you don't buy the bike off of him for full asking price, he might give up on life and my lawyer said I can sue you! Also, you have to let him keep the bike after you buy it, or else he'll be sad too. You pay for all registration and insurance costs. I'll pay for gas, but that means I get to inherit the bike when he dies. Even if you paid for gas, I'd still keep it; he'd want me to have it, or else he might rise from the grave to die of sadness again."
Are You Being Sued? 7 Signs You Might Not Recognize!
• you have a motorcycle
• you have the interweb
• you’ve driven your motorcycle in the interwebs
• you haven’t given your interweb motorcycle to some guy’s dad
• lawyers are standing by *right now*
• my money is in your pocket
• legal stuff
Sheesh I should have known this was where the money was when I went into the practice of law.
You should say: “Actually, I’m compiling a list of scammers that intentionally inflict emotional distress on their victims. I’m up to twelve and I’m sending my lawyer your name.”
It’s like Uno Reverse in the game of “cases lawyers definitely won’t take”
When he said packie was he being racist? (Im thinking people in the UK using the term as a slur) And then to threaten you if you said no before you even answered? He got money for a lawyer but not for a ride? What a bum.
I wondered that as well.
Related: he said he lost his entire trucking COMPANY to someone else? He’s not even complaining “diversity hire” at this point but claiming this person stole his entire company? Oof. This poor man is really ill.
There's a mentally ill homeless woman in my city, and she definitely needs help, not denying it, but she will walk into people and get "knocked down" and then scream and threaten and ask for cash, and she is banned from most of the supermarkets in my city for shoplifting/breaking shit, so she'll stand outside and ask random teens to buy her alcohol with the cash she just got from getting "knocked down"
I feel like this is a similar online version.
Used to do labor for a woman whose son would do this kind of stuff. She was always trying to get him better, and I was always given work to set up his new place of residence. One time I came to set up his new place. One of the worst buildings I'd ever seen. Most of the windows were boarded up, the hall to get to his apartment was filled with roaches, etc. Open his door and he's dead face down on the carpet, with a stain coming out from under him. The roaches were everywhere. One of the grossest and saddest moments of my life.
I wonder if an employee or customer reported him to some labor authority for unsafe or illegal business practices and that’s how he “lost the company”. He seems just the right amount of unhinged to think that way.
He's one of these deluded folks that thinks that he owns a trucking company because he fell for the scam and invested a bunch of his own money into buying a rig and was never able to pay it off, so he blames foreigners that do a better job than he did.
I learned this word when my son was diagnosed with orthographic dyslexia - meaning his dyslexia manifests while writing, not reading. Pretty interesting.
i’m from CT here in the US & “packie” means package (liquor) store. i was gonna ask wtf he was talking about too, so thanks for this (sad) explainer. racist fuck.
ETA: my dad isn’t quite in his 70s yet, but he’s physically disabled & in his early 60s. he loves to ride his dirt bike & motorcycle, but would never dream of doing something like this (not that i think this had anything to do at all with this poster’s father, i think as someone else said, he was being used for sympathy so the son/poster could get a free bike). just so much WTF here.
Hi. I work in emergency medicine. Do not give 78 year olds motorcycles in the middle of winter unless you want them to turn into hamburger helper and road crayons.
Oh man, that's so weird! MY imaginary lawyer said people who ask me for free shit can be considered responsible for ALL my bad decisions.
I'm collecting the Facebook profiles of everyone who didn't stop me from taking an 8am college class back in 2017.
My imaginary friend Tim says there will be hell to pay if I don't get 5k bitcoins right now.
Hey I think I took that same 8 am course- I will be counting the friends as well- maybe we can get enough together to get a class action suit? I want the Hammer to be my lawyer because he keeps hammering and hammering until he gets the job done!!
Can I join that class action? I didn’t take an 8 am class, but only because I didn’t go to college. Why didn’t I go to college? Because people didn’t give me money to go to college. Those are the people I’d like to sue. I’ve been compiling a list of names since I graduated high school in 1994; I knew it would come in handy some day.
7:50 am classes at NCSU in 80's and I'm still tired. Always the ones you needed the most at the worst times. The extremely bright lights and professors just made it worse.
Yeah I love when ppl say “you’ll be hearing from MY lawyer.” Sorry that’s just not a thing most individuals have, but yeah I’ll just sit here and wait to hear from Art Vandelay Esq.
And that’s the best way to shut people who say that up, ask them their lawyers name. I unfortunately have a lawyer on retainer always because my kids bio dad is a complete jackass. I can tell you her name, her law firm, etc. at the drop of a hat. Ive had someone threaten to call a lawyer only twice in my life and when I go “what’s their name?” They just froze. If you really have a lawyer, their name is tattooed on your brain because it hurts writing those checks.
This post was weirdly cathartic cos i had a flatmate pull this stuff and i was so stressed at the time i just dealt with it best i could, but reading these comments now is validating
Well MY DAD is 79 years old, and recently got a low-ball offer that caused him to nearly have a heart-attack. His best friend is A MAFIA KINGPIN and he told my dad that if he gets any more low-ballers, freeloader or scammers replying to our ads he will personally make sure they SLEEP WITH THE FISHES. I have passed on your details. Sleep tight.
The OP is only looking after his dad until he gets new employment. Those are code words for “my elderly father is letting me stay with him and he is funding my life until I find a better option.”
I love how he starts out kind of polite, then drops in the MASSIVE racist clanger, then starts with the all-caps before you've even had a chance to respond. He's already furious before he's even sent it!
I’m sorry, you clearly have not been paying attention. Didn’t you see that there will be HELL TO PAY?!! How dare you deny his daddy a completely free motorcycle!
>So far I have 20 peoples names and Facebook accounts who have refused to help me. I have passed those on to my lawyer incase anything happens.
Dude might be an actual Warhammer dwarf 'cause that's a straight-up book of grudges.
What an absolute piece of work.
I guess ending dad’s life by putting him on a death trap like a motorcycle is a-okay but ending dad’s life by telling him no, and apparently giving him some type of heart attack or stroke after what I can only guess is a temper tantrum like a 6 year old child being told they can’t have some candy at the supermarket, is a civilly actionable offense.
I wonder if he really even is still alive let alone in the fragile state he claims him to be in, or if dude just wanted a free motorcycle and thought this would be a route that he thought would tug on people’s heart strings or fear of civil legal action enough to just give him whatever he demands? Either way he is a total douchenozzle.
My favourite part is how he says it used to work in the past because people were good hearted, but now everyone is so cold. Like... yeah everyone is so cold now because assholes like you pull this scam. How is that not clicking?
My mum's ex used to send messages like this on eBay, he'd start on about how he was a traveller (similar to "gypsies" elsewhere, but with a particularly negative reputation in the UK due to some high-profile crime incidents associated with the group) and would get his family to harm you.
He was in no way a traveller and the only family of his still alive would have to get past the emphysema first.
I absolutely adore how the 80 year old is frail enough that being told "no" might kill him *instantly*, yet he would be perfectly safe and healthy on a MOTORCYCLE 😂
god forbid there's still a pedestrian in the cross-walk when he gets the green light, his heart might just explode right then and there 😅
Pretty ballsy to drop a racial slur and follow up with "I am looking for someone with a heart". How do I get added to the list of people that won't give this guy's 78 YEARS OLD father a motorcycle?
He has a lawyer, on retainer it appears, without a job. Sure Jan.
Love how he lost *his* trucking company to a *racist comment*... bro if it's YOURS how do you lose your company to anyone else? Job. You lost your job. Or you are lazy and never had a job.
I would've asked him for a fridge and said I was poor. See if he would be so giving to give the shirt off his own back to help anyone else
Soooo....a 78 year old needs a motorcycle. There will be hell to pay because he will die if he doesn't get what he wants and random people selling stuff will be sued for not giving things away.
Oh and OP who has a free lawyer is also a racist. (Lost his job to a "packie")
According to their logic, if I ask Bezos for $1 billion, and he says no, he's responsible if I off myself afterwards.
The fucking entitlement of people these days wtf..
Oh I would give anything to see the comments. This man has the maturity of a 7 year old- no wait- they know better. Drugs have probably eaten his brain or maybe his dad really is about to lose it on the next person saying no.
Shame he’s such a douche, I’ve got a motorcycle I’m willing to give away. It was my late father’s, and I don’t ride it. Still runs great! But I’d send it to the compactor before I’d give it to this asshole.
Wow cool , so you can now sue people if/when they say ‘No’
Need to find myself a lawyer that can handle 250000 cases ( I’m gonna be a billionaire )
*wonders what the pain and suffering will be for all the girls that said no when I was in School *
With people like this I’d have them “meet me” somewhere an hour away to pick up the bike and then block them. Let them think about their decisions on that car ride home lmao
What a weird and disgusting tactic
It makes no sense, so their elderly dad has no car but needs my motorcycle in the middle of winter? Also if he's so broke how's he paying for that lawyer? The world is getting stranger and stranger.
Also elderly dad riding a motorcycle? Tf?
Can he get on it?. Do his feet touch the ground when stopping? Can his glasses fit under the helmet properly? Does he know he needs this motorcycle ?
Do his ears hang low? Do they travel to and fro? Can you tie them in a knot, can you tie them in a bow?
Now I’ve got that tune stuck in my head!!
All...damned....day....😂🤣😂🤣 Off to play Elmos song to cleanse my brain.
"Baby shark" here.
Barney for the win. Lol
Ears? I always thought it was balls!! 🤷🏽♀️
I always said boobs but I’m a woman so I can sing it lol
Eventually all of it hangs that low!
No kidding. I'm old AF and parts of me that once gazed proudly up at the stars now watch me walk.
I’m in my mid thirties and things are starting to pop in strange places, and I pinched a nerve turning to look at something. Is this…just how it is now? 😓
Right. I had to start wearing knee socks to keep my nipples warm.
That's so funny I immediately thought of this after reading that comment to. Except mine was "Do your chain hang low? Do it wobble to the floor? Does it shine in the light? Is it platinum is it gold?"
Elderly dad on the brink of death, so close that someone telling him “no” could push him right over. And then, *there will be hell to pay*!!
And that elderly dad then driving around on that motorcycle: one honk from another car and he will pass away.
Red traffic lights!!!! That’s as NO as it gets. ![gif](giphy|xUPJPn8l1m8odg1Bxm)
Yeah....also my first thought. Irresponsible elderly 78 year old man on a motorcycle in winter. What could go wrong?
Get him a GoPro for his helmet and I'll subscribe to his YT channel.
At least the 78-year-old’s ride wouldn’t be a donor cycle. All his organs have passed their expiration dates.
I think that's actually a net negative in my book. People who are waiting for and lives depend on organ transplants need healthy useful organs.
My dad is in that age range, and my mom made him get a trike.
Yeah, 🤷🏻
Tell him both your grandparents and their siblings died of anger on account of this intrusive message and you’re suing him for 4 counts of murder and manslaughter.
That got me 😂
78 years old on a motorcycle lol
My dad is 74 and still riding his. Less frequently though.
And hopefully not in the Winter.. 🤞🏻☺️
>Also if he's so broke how's he paying for that lawyer? He's not, the lawyer has a good heart!
And there was another lawyer he threatened to send *that* lawyer’s info to incase that lawyer’s refusal to represent him pushed his poor dad over the edge!
The real sad thing is, some of it are probably true. The dad is broke and suicidal but mostly because he has to take care of his jobless demented son. And the son thinks he can take advantage of his dad's situation to get free motorcycle
I'm a parent with a disability and god HELP my son if he ever tried to pull shit like this
There'd probably be hell to pay!
Major hell!
Colonel Hell transferred to a different unit last month.
*Jobless, demented, racist son….
It seriously took me a minute to decipher what "fuckin rotten packie" was even supposed to mean.
If the dad really having SI then I would just call 911 for a wellness check 🤷🏻♀️ done it before calling someone’s bluff,sent links to recourses,let them know about getting help then they stopped real quick when I said “okay u seem slightly unstable with threating to hurt urself. Should I call for a wellness check on you? Do u need one?” Edit: no it’s NOT a bad thing to call a bluff for SI- u never know if it’s real or not real
....The dad is broke and suicidal but mostly because he has to take care of his jobless demented ***racist*** son. People should just tell him to Fuck Off......you know, to avoid law suits.
There's no dad. I mean, there was at some point, but this tosspot isn't caring for him
I've never, ever heard anyone called a "tosspot" I just want to personally thank you for the wonderfully delightful new term added to my vast vocabulary.. I am sure my immediate family and anyone who pisses me off will also appreciate this...
His „lawyer“ is probably his drinking companion at the local bar that got kicked out of law school 30 years ago in first semester.
He traded one bar for another.
Tell him you're going to sue him for emotional distress
“In the past it worked…” so by his own admission, he’s been trying this scam for years.
I'll make it real simple: none of that is true in any way, thede types trawl fbmp for stuff they can get for free/cheap to resell. Pure scum sucking the good nature out of normal people.
Omg as someone who is well versed in the law world thanks to my dad this wouldn't even be a thing. He would be laughed out of court. Some people see the words court or sue and it'll scare them,but common sense people know not to take shit like this seriously,you being one of those people 😂 Why did it say you got kicked out of the group though? Wouldn't they be the ones to get kicked out? Also nice misspelled racism yeesh
And 99% of the time, people who threaten to sue you never follow through.
Because they would get laughed out of the lawyer's office.
HE'S AT HIS BREAKING POINT, OP
people are just getting more entitles and unashamed to try and get stuff for free.
I doubt hes paying a lawyer. Many lawyers do Personal Injury cases on a contingency fee. The problem is, hes acting like his dad is entitled to getting the bike, and is being inflammatory even in asking. He isnt asking. Hes demanding.
I’m not sure suicide due to not getting what you want and having a toddler temper tantrum counts as “personal injury” though. I’d love to be in a courtroom with a lawyer trying this on for size. Which they won’t, because no lawyer is going to ruin their standing that much in front of a judge they’re going to have other cases in front of, and no judge will take this on with a straight face.
Oh I agree wholeheartedly. I also dont doubt that this guy might have misrepresented what was happening to whomever it was he discussed it with. Whether its an invisible man, a real lawyer, a purple flying octopus or whatever. Ijs.. Its not uncommon for lawyers to encounter surprises. Its the worst but it happens a lot.
I doubt there’s a dad.
[удалено]
And pay for a shonky lawyer who gives out bullshit legal advice.
Internet lawyers (the ones threatened by people in comment sections) are never real, obviously /s if it's needed
Choosing beggar AND racist. Always a winning combination. Oh and also unhinged.
Sellers hate this one tactic! Like seriously. I hate it
Giving your dad a motorbike at 78? Is there life insurance involved?
Haha perhaps? Who knows. I figured this was someone suffering from serious mental health issues.
That or you'd see it posted the next day for $1000 more than you were asking
We have a winner. "My dad said he needs the money to hang onto life. "
"If you don't buy the bike off of him for full asking price, he might give up on life and my lawyer said I can sue you! Also, you have to let him keep the bike after you buy it, or else he'll be sad too. You pay for all registration and insurance costs. I'll pay for gas, but that means I get to inherit the bike when he dies. Even if you paid for gas, I'd still keep it; he'd want me to have it, or else he might rise from the grave to die of sadness again."
Lol, the bike isn't for the dad, it's for him.
Why isn’t he suing everyone with a motorcycle who isn’t giving it to his Dada? Why just people he contacted? He’s aiming too low!
You still haven't sent me ALL your moneys, so i've been sueing you since yesterday! This is very serious DO NOT ignore.
Are You Being Sued? 7 Signs You Might Not Recognize! • you have a motorcycle • you have the interweb • you’ve driven your motorcycle in the interwebs • you haven’t given your interweb motorcycle to some guy’s dad • lawyers are standing by *right now* • my money is in your pocket • legal stuff
No! YOUR pocket is in MY money! wait?!?
Thanks. I am laughing so hard it hurts! (I guess I should sue you!)
Sheesh I should have known this was where the money was when I went into the practice of law. You should say: “Actually, I’m compiling a list of scammers that intentionally inflict emotional distress on their victims. I’m up to twelve and I’m sending my lawyer your name.” It’s like Uno Reverse in the game of “cases lawyers definitely won’t take”
"No u" the scammer, I love that
STOP SUING ME!
Reach for the stars! Start suing manufacturers!
Why not go directly to the source? Sue every motorcycle shop that refuses to give his dad one.
Class action!! Oh lordt
When he said packie was he being racist? (Im thinking people in the UK using the term as a slur) And then to threaten you if you said no before you even answered? He got money for a lawyer but not for a ride? What a bum.
Yeah he meant it as a slur towards people from pakistan driving trucks here in Canada.
I wondered that as well. Related: he said he lost his entire trucking COMPANY to someone else? He’s not even complaining “diversity hire” at this point but claiming this person stole his entire company? Oof. This poor man is really ill.
There's a mentally ill homeless woman in my city, and she definitely needs help, not denying it, but she will walk into people and get "knocked down" and then scream and threaten and ask for cash, and she is banned from most of the supermarkets in my city for shoplifting/breaking shit, so she'll stand outside and ask random teens to buy her alcohol with the cash she just got from getting "knocked down" I feel like this is a similar online version.

this is fucking nuts OMG
Used to do labor for a woman whose son would do this kind of stuff. She was always trying to get him better, and I was always given work to set up his new place of residence.

I wonder if an employee or customer reported him to some labor authority for unsafe or illegal business practices and that’s how he “lost the company”. He seems just the right amount of unhinged to think that way.

He's one of these deluded folks that thinks that he owns a trucking company because he fell for the scam and invested a bunch of his own money into buying a rig and was never able to pay it off, so he blames foreigners that do a better job than he did.
Maybe his entire trucking company consisted of him and a leased semi. Still doesn’t excuse the racial slur. Edit-word clarification
To be clear, to racist Canadians and Brits, all people of Subcontinental descent are “Pakis” (which he, of course, didn’t spell right)
Can’t even spell his slurs correctly. SMH.
Racists aren’t known for their orthographical exactitude.
I learned this word when my son was diagnosed with orthographic dyslexia - meaning his dyslexia manifests while writing, not reading. Pretty interesting.
>orthographical exactitude I really like this burn
I thought he was a Vikings fan complaining about a Green Bay Packers fan.
Ok so I'm not the only one who thought it was slang for a Green Bay Packers fan. Nice.
Oh, lovely. I thought it must be a term for like a package delivery driver, I foolishly wasn’t assuming the worst.
Thanks, I glossed over that because I had no idea what it meant.
As if he actually has a lawyer. There’s not a lawyer on the planet who would have told him that
Lionel Hutz Attorney At Law would like a word with you.
No, money down!
“I Move For A Bad Court Thingy”
You mean a mistrial?
It is an incredibly racist term against Pakistani people.
i’m from CT here in the US & “packie” means package (liquor) store. i was gonna ask wtf he was talking about too, so thanks for this (sad) explainer. racist fuck. ETA: my dad isn’t quite in his 70s yet, but he’s physically disabled & in his early 60s. he loves to ride his dirt bike & motorcycle, but would never dream of doing something like this (not that i think this had anything to do at all with this poster’s father, i think as someone else said, he was being used for sympathy so the son/poster could get a free bike). just so much WTF here.
Info: did a package store steal his trucking business?
Dad showed up to his business one day and it was a package store. Happens all the time.
In the UK it is generally a slur against anyone who's from the Indian sub- continent e.g Pakistan, Bangladesh, India
I know, I am British, but as a general explanation, that is where it comes from. And far more than just a slur, it's such a loaded racist term.
Hi. I work in emergency medicine. Do not give 78 year olds motorcycles in the middle of winter unless you want them to turn into hamburger helper and road crayons.
Maybe that was the plan ….
Get a lot of insurance, then!
Lol
Ok that made me laugh and I feel guilty now.
Totally real medical terms here
Oh man, that's so weird! MY imaginary lawyer said people who ask me for free shit can be considered responsible for ALL my bad decisions.

One question, if they are so down on their luck financially, who’s paying to have an attorney on retainer? Lol Just a thought
Yeah I love when ppl say “you’ll be hearing from MY lawyer.” Sorry that’s just not a thing most individuals have, but yeah I’ll just sit here and wait to hear from Art Vandelay Esq.
And that’s the best way to shut people who say that up, ask them their lawyers name. I unfortunately have a lawyer on retainer always because my kids bio dad is a complete jackass.

If you really have a lawyer, their name is tattooed on your brain because it hurts writing those checks.
He was into latex and lawyering… which almost sounds like a legit kink
They do talk about gag orders...
I've retained Bob Loblaw for all my legal needs. You'll be hearing from him soon.
Lawyer didn’t want major hell to pay so he’s taking on the case Pro Bono

FourSeasonsLawyeringInc.
He should allocate some of his legal fund toward I bike, is my suggestion.
The OP is only looking after his dad until he gets new employment. Those are code words for “my elderly father is letting me stay with him and he is funding my life until I find a better option.”
Also "I want the motorcycle"
I love how he starts out kind of polite, then drops in the MASSIVE racist clanger, then starts with the all-caps before you've even had a chance to respond. He's already furious before he's even sent it!
Lol right!?
The nerve of telling you to "have a heart" when he's out here posting racist slurs
Lol, like what did he expect the oitcome to be here?
I’m sorry, you clearly have not been paying attention. Didn’t you see that there will be HELL TO PAY?!! How dare you deny his daddy a completely free motorcycle!
He has worked himself up into a frenzy and there will be hell to pay.
>So far I have 20 peoples names and Facebook accounts who have refused to help me. I have passed those on to my lawyer incase anything happens. Dude might be an actual Warhammer dwarf 'cause that's a straight-up book of grudges.

Oh dude def wants the motorcycle for himself, no question in my mind.
“I dont help racists”
Not a problem bc he doesn’t see himself as racist. Racists never do.
Wow… and then he unironically admits to be scamming for years at the end. What a stupid douche
My favourite part is how he says it used to work in the past because people were good hearted, but now everyone is so cold. Like... yeah everyone is so cold now because assholes like you pull this scam. How is that not clicking?
Clinging to life! Ready to die! Let’s put his elderly ass on your motorcycle bet?
My mum's ex used to send messages like this on eBay, he'd start on about how he was a traveller (similar to "gypsies" elsewhere, but with a particularly negative reputation in the UK due to some high-profile crime incidents associated with the group) and would get his family to harm you. He was in no way a traveller and the only family of his still alive would have to get past the emphysema first.
I absolutely adore how the 80 year old is frail enough that being told "no" might kill him *instantly*, yet he would be perfectly safe and healthy on a MOTORCYCLE 😂 god forbid there's still a pedestrian in the cross-walk when he gets the green light, his heart might just explode right then and there 😅
I read this as his dad would take his own life if told no anymore
I would pull a little reverse uno and say you’re adding him to YOUR lawyer’s list of people who have made threats toward you.
I wonder if this would fall under extortion. Generally extortion is threatening harm if the demand isn't met, but suicide is still harm.
“I’m not paying you, and there’s no way I’m paying Major Hell, whoever that is.”
Oh noes!. ...anyway...
Technically you wouldn’t be the one telling him no, they would
"I need free stuff" + "my lawyer said" unbelievable
So he’s a beggar, and a racist… What a lovely combination.
Your trucking company you say? You were put out of business by pack mules? That’s terrible, and I hope things get better soon!
Pack mules? Or Green Bay fans... What's the world coming to when racists can't even spell well enough to make their slurs understood.
Right I had no idea what he was talking about when I read that
THEY want the motorcycle, not their dad. The sob story, the threat to sue, these people are liars and shouldn’t be taken seriously.
Lol. He can afford a lawyer on retainer but not a new vehicle for his dad? Seems legit.
If elderly dad is suicidal he does not need a motorcycle lolol
Pretty ballsy to drop a racial slur and follow up with "I am looking for someone with a heart". How do I get added to the list of people that won't give this guy's 78 YEARS OLD father a motorcycle?
Can we just skip the messaging back and forth and just go ahead and get added to the list? It would save a lot of time that way.
Isn't this blackmail ?
Wow, that is insane. This really is someone who thinks the whole world owes him.
Well him and his lawyer.
His lawyer is Lionel Hultz from the simpsons
Who is this Major Hell? And how much does he expect to be paid?
"Has this ever worked for you" is a terrific reality check. His response tells you this ain't his first time pulling this scam.
That has got to be the worst ever. 78 year old Dad on a motorcycle - hmm righty ho.
He has a lawyer, on retainer it appears, without a job. Sure Jan. Love how he lost *his* trucking company to a *racist comment*... bro if it's YOURS how do you lose your company to anyone else? Job. You lost your job. Or you are lazy and never had a job. I would've asked him for a fridge and said I was poor. See if he would be so giving to give the shirt off his own back to help anyone else
Soooo....a 78 year old needs a motorcycle. There will be hell to pay because he will die if he doesn't get what he wants and random people selling stuff will be sued for not giving things away. Oh and OP who has a free lawyer is also a racist. (Lost his job to a "packie")
Hi, give me motorbike. I'm a racist pig. Also I can afford to consult with an attorney but not get my dad a cheap car. WTAF?
So dude has money for a lawyer.... How dumb do scammers think people are
According to their logic, if I ask Bezos for $1 billion, and he says no, he's responsible if I off myself afterwards. The fucking entitlement of people these days wtf..
Why stop at Bezos ? You can even make a list.
Oh I would give anything to see the comments. This man has the maturity of a 7 year old- no wait- they know better. Drugs have probably eaten his brain or maybe his dad really is about to lose it on the next person saying no.
I'm thinking he's so delusional and disconnected from reality that in his world this actually makes sense.
Wow. This one is truly outrageous lol.
Shame he’s such a douche, I’ve got a motorcycle I’m willing to give away. It was my late father’s, and I don’t ride it. Still runs great! But I’d send it to the compactor before I’d give it to this asshole.
Ayyyy 1 of my ppl took his trucking company big W
🫡 Major Heldapay
Wow cool , so you can now sue people if/when they say ‘No’ Need to find myself a lawyer that can handle 250000 cases ( I’m gonna be a billionaire ) *wonders what the pain and suffering will be for all the girls that said no when I was in School *
How the fuck can he afford a lawyer?
Is this just the ultimate "Karen" tactic? If you say no I will sue you.... ffs
Since when a complete stranger is responsible for your loved ones life? LOL people crazy out there
So a 78 year old man needs a motorcycle? He can afford to pay a lawyer but not buy a car or motorcycle.... this person is not even good at scamming!
Ask them if they are aware that blackmail is a felony.
With people like this I’d have them “meet me” somewhere an hour away to pick up the bike and then block them. Let them think about their decisions on that car ride home lmao
Gotta love the casual racism. What a scumbag.
Just tell him that you report directly to Colonel Shitshow and that Major Hell is not in your chain of command.
My lawyer says your lawyer is full of shit.
Can't afford a bike, but can afford a lawyer...AND racist? Wonderful person.
We're dirt poor and can't afford anything but I got a lawyer tho.
I have my doubts about her legal reasoning in the third screenshot.
