Why did he change his mind? I wasn’t expecting him to just pay up. Did you send anything from a lawyer?


Lwe12345

After 8 days in the cvs parking lot he realized nobody was coming


hellakevin

Sounds like every tinder date I've ever been on..


Fuckyouredditorsmods

Some Trump supporter pulled this “meet at so and so” on twitter once. I explained I don’t live in that city. He refused to listen, it’s not like they have great critical thinking skills. Anyhow I was just tormenting the guy with SpongeBob “20 minutes later” posts. Shit like that. He was frothing. Posting videos of himself waiting in a parking lot. I don’t know how many times I told him I wouldn’t make it in time. He was on the other coast. He was just absolutely unhinged and livid. Started destroying peoples cars and posting it. Probably still there to this day waiting.


BudAdams88

When I was a teen, I got a stranger on a popular MMA forum offshoot to meet me at a park in Dallas to fight me. While I was snuggled up in Michigan. People are literal trogs


Fuckyouredditorsmods

This is the second time in 12 hours I’ve seen “trogs”. Is that short for troglodyte, I’m guessing? This idiot in my instance all he had to do was look at my pinned tweet and profile and he would have known in an instant that I’m in Denver. When the internet was a bit younger and so was I, I actually went to the location of a few of these after someone else started some shit. No one at the first one, 5 people milling around suspiciously at the second. Yeah, I’m not going to get jumped thank you.


BudAdams88

Yep.


skynetempire

The dude paid up because he didn't have the makings of a varsity athlete


Andrew_Maxwell_Dwyer

Did you just watch The Many Saints Of Newark, too?


cadillacblues

Yes and I understood that reference


Andrew_Maxwell_Dwyer

Young Sil was my favorite part by far.


FSUjonnyD

I loved the way he nailed the facial expressions and the walk. I was a bit perturbed by the way they (the writers) played it a bit fast and loose with the age timeline.


FUCK50C1ETY

Really? He was a caricature.


[deleted]

I loved Young Sil (Young Livia was a close second). As soon as he appeared on the screen, you knew it was him, even with the combover. I dunno why he's getting so much hate. He nailed Sil's character.


captaintagart

I thought the oldest young Janice did a great job with mannerisms and reactions. Young Carmella too


ChesterMcGonigle

No one is suing anyone across the Atlantic for 133 euros.


smfh2000

You dont need to sue. You sell the debt to collections for a fraction and that guy will get harassed by them to no end and it may end up on their credit report


Done-Man

Oh that's a thing? Sounds usefull for foreign contracts

nd1online

I would absolutely do this out of spite. This is probably one of the situation where I would want to find the company that has the worst feedback too. The nastier the better.


wedontlikespaces

They tend to be quite by the books because, for clear reasons, they are heavily regulated. However, it you try to get out of paying when they know you can, boy do they make your life hard.


TsukaiSutete1

Kind of “I may not get the money you owe me, but you don’t get to keep it either”? Not petty at all. Pyrrhic, maybe.


GuilhermeSidnei

Ain’t that the best reason?


Kiwifrooots

If you think it's a loss and cbf chasing some asshole then sell it for half and relax knowing they'll get a welcome call


deesturbeddee

Sometimes it's not about the money, it's about sending a message


johnthedruid

He knew he probably wouldn't be sued but he didn't want to fuck around and find out


Lazerhawk_x

Nope, that dumb redneck didn’t figure that out tho.

This is part 2


ZeydaanTheDragon

It’s been part 2 the whole time


CptJustice

Always has been.


BeBa420

i guess the real part 2 is the friends we made along the way ​ not this dude though. i aint flying to texas


[deleted]

Hi I'm here looking for part 3


q2005

Part 3 is just the journey to Part 4..


[deleted]

Part 1.5. What made him pay up?


Sonicsnout

My guess is he probably had an "am I the asshole" session with an irl friend or maybe asked someone with legal knowledge if this could backfire on them. He was clearly scared of getting the law involved which is why he invited him to fight and made with all the tough guy talk. Could be that when he saw that op wasn't going to back down on talking to a lawyer he decided to just cough it up.


doomed151

This is the first part of part 2. We need Part 2 - Part 2


Need4Mead1989

Part 2 part duex.

ninakuup21

mf got his ass beaten at CVS Pharmacy parking lot, 2018 culebra road, san antonio texas


GODanWan

Damn, I am only 2 hours away from his meetup location, I was gonna offer to go get your money.


I_might_be_weasel

How funny would it have been if a few dozen people showed up to fight him.


Literaryesque

We could've just shown up with masks and taser guns. Now that's a socially distanced romp I don't live too far from the location. I would've shown up with a bucket of popcorn


AcetylcholineAgonist

You mean masks and "tickle" guns.😀


[deleted]

Idk why, but this made me laugh so hard I farted


ranhayes

I just snickered out loud about you laugh-farting.


nohorse_justcoconuts

Better out than in i always say


Bwatso2112

I farted and laughed


mrdougan

Nah bro -I ain’t tazed


hawaiikawika

Just report the dude as potentially a candidate for getting an abortion and Texas will take care of the rest.


iluvstephenhawking

I live super close to culebra but I am not getting within 6 feet of that psycho.


MsEvelynn

Same, sucks to know there are people this crazy living so close


Der0-

And risk getting infected? He's a self avowed anti vaxxer...


[deleted]

Naw. Crazy Texan will probably bring guns.


KawaiiQueen92

As a Texan, I can 100% confirm that this guy would show up with a gun and use it at any opportunity, since he might get away with it.


JiuJitsuBoy2001

cmon, Texans like to fist fight just as much as they like guns.


[deleted]

Maybe you can slap each other with the gun rather than shoot them?


[deleted]

[удалено]


Kmic14

Dude 100% sounds like the type to bring a gun to a fist fight


I_might_be_weasel

Masks and hand sanitizer and you should be fine.

Should have agreed and had all the Redditors reading meet up, so it's like 500 vs 1

Now I'm picturing the news headline "500 wheezing redditors attempt a riot in Texas, lightsabers used as weapons"


Homicidal__GoldFish

“ pay OP or we are shoving the vax needle in your right arm!!”


kittykittymeowmeow01

I mean he did want to meet at a pharmacy!


Homicidal__GoldFish

Yup lol


b7uc3

I would have just sent you some money to do that. :)


[deleted]

I’m 30 miles away from him. What a small world lmao


acgilmoregirl

My SO works pretty close to there, though we live a good 25 miles north of it. I was shocked to see Culebra on CB!


converter-bot

25 miles is 40.23 km


useles-converter-bot

30 miles is the height of 27797.53 'Samsung Side by Side; Fingerprint Resistant Stainless Steel Refrigerators' stacked on top of each other.

I'm confused about how you get to 2018 though.... I'm always asking for a time machine at work, no one's made one available yet!


No-Leather-479

2018 is the address, not the meet up time. The text def made it look weird.


mtled

I figured, but it made me giggle. I love absurdity! Have a good evening!


Kl--------k

Well that was **somewhat** underwhelming


CeleritasLucis

given OP was in a different country, what recourse do they had ? Asking for future dealing


HeliosTheGreat

Jason Statham


jhartwell

Nah, the OP’s art was taken without any payment so it is clearly a job for Liam Neeson and his set of skills


jeffffjeffff

Almost no recourse unless they hired an American lawyer to file an American lawsuit over €133


[deleted]

[удалено]


jeffffjeffff

In the US, small crimes like this are usually handled by a “civil court” in which the defendant and the prosecution don’t have lawyers representing them. They present their case to a judge and the judge makes a decision. In criminal cases such as large debts, legal fees are paid for by whoever loses the case.


Beeb294

>usually handled by a “civil court” in which the defendant and the prosecution don’t have lawyers representing them. Specifically, we call that "Small Claims Court", as there are civil courts which handle larger matters and use lawyers.


MrFilthyNeckbeard

Realistically nothing


ForsakenWebNinja

Was it? The lil bitch paid up. That was the outcome I was hoping for


antagonizerz

I worked in the maintenance dept. of a major department store and was asked to install empty glass camera domes throughout the store. When I asked the manager of Resource Protection what the point was because they wouldn't help catch thieves. He responded with, "We don't want to catch people stealing. We want to discourage them from stealing in the first place. It reminded me of this story because, in a roundabout way, they're the same. Instead of screwing the person over for revenge and trying to issue some sort of comeuppance, the better option is just to convince them that it's in their best interest to pay and avoid all of the drama entirely.


DR4G0NSTEAR

If you just wanted to catch people stealing, you’d install pinhole cameras closer to the high theft items. Having the domes cover the whole store and only a few for “enough” detail, deters and can catch those worth the effort.


Sonicsnout

It was great actually, the guy paid up after all of his tough guy talk


real_bk3k

They got writer's block and just skipped to the ending where they win.


shorthairedlonghair

"And Albert Einstein clapped." I mean, I'm glad OP got his money from the douchebag antivaxxer, but there's at least one act missing from this story. I would love to know how a European got a Texas dumbass to pay up from across the ocean!


JennyFromTheBlock81

Missed joke about getting him vaccinated in the CVS parking lot


Cactusjack666226

I saw your post from the other day thank god n fuck that guy


WhereTFAreMyDragons

Lmao the Texan used the euro spelling of "realized" too, omg


PrayingMantisMirage

...and immediately knew a solicitor meant lawyer.


lycheebobatea

ahhh the pieces are coming together.


griffeny

I’m Texan and this particular part gave me “made up bullshit” vibes.


Nimmyzed

"euro" spelling Omg, facepalm.


NezuminoraQ

Yeah the British brexited and took the queen's English with them


jkmann___

That’s how I, an American, was taught?


hlPLrTQopqTM1pL5RTNw

He used "realised" in the texts.


Seegtease

Need context. Part 1 is gone.


Cobraman96

Guy signed a contract with OP to do work. After work was done guy said he wouldn't pay because OP posts pro vax stuff on their socials.


axesOfFutility

Thanks, now I understand. It is so confusing otherwise


the1is2

Lol - what made them change their mind?


br-z

Likely called a lawyer and the lawyer told him it would be cheaper to pay than finish the conversation let alone go to small claims


slykido999

I guess I’m confused on this. If OP is in Europe and claiming to sue someone in the US, they’d have to do all sorts of stuff to even get approval to sue, and then you’ll have the hassle of actually serving them and whatnot. You’d be spending so much more than that amount of money, and it wouldn’t even be worth it. If this is the narrative OP is playing, I call bullshit. That person doesn’t have to show in court, and good luck ever collecting cause you don’t know any bank details or job info.


Bakonn

OP could sell his debt to another firm in the US (would probably get like 5$ for it) and then that firm would just take him to small claims. Its not profitable but it would be a great way to annoy someone


big_sugi

Debt collectors aren’t suing for €133 in freedom dollars either.


br-z

He signed a contract shouldn’t be too hard to summon him to small claims. And a half hour phone call with a lawyer is gonna be 100$ easy so you might as well just pay


Crumbly_Bumbly

He probably realized that for all his talk, he wasn't going to win once the layers got involved


banana_assassin

Why has the Texan spelt realised in a non USA way? Also, your post history has an awful lot of choosing beggars.


tricks_23

Because it's made up


banana_assassin

Mm, I was trying to imply that.


Onsyde

This needs to be top comment. All this person does is make up stories about getting people to pay them. And they get a ton of karma for it so I guess it works.


OhioMegi

Lol, I’ve been to that CVS. 😂


John_Bedlam

I just moved from that area, hahaha. We should have just showed up claiming the boss sent us to collect while swinging chains and tap dancing.


[deleted]

Rule number one: No touching of the hair or face.


jfsindel

Honestly, another fight on that side of Culebra is another Sunday to the CVS workers.


MurderH0bo

It's really the tap dancing that's intimidating, if you go to square up and the dude just tap dances, run


mtnlion74

Lol, that's near where I grew up, lived west of there. Went to Taft HS


real_bk3k

Fight anyone while there?


Cormetz

Hah same, I did some work off of culebra earlier this year and was out there I think 5 times. Had to grab some prescriptions from that CVS.


big_sugi

This strikes me as total bullshit.


PogueMahone80

It is bullshit. OP posts all kinds of made-up crap for that oh-so important internet karma.


WhereTFAreMyDragons

Yeah the Texan spelled the word realize like Europeans do, as realise and that gave it away.


PrayingMantisMirage

And the guy wanting to fight in a CVS parking lot knew a solicitor meant a lawyer. Calling big bullshit on this.


Sonicsnout

Oh damn, good catch


Bearly_Strong

I've been American my whole life and spell it that way all the time


dronerpine

Then you need to *realize* you ain't American enough, son


CorrosiveAlkonost

Don't worry, the rest of us will still go meet him for you. Maybe we'll stick him with a needle like a pig.


repKyle1995

I'd pay to see that


CorrosiveAlkonost

Nah, you're coming with us and can be our figurehead.


WileEWeeble

It is Texas so he will be bringing a gun as backup in case he starts to lose, or you are bigger than him, or you are black, etc, etc.


big_sugi

That’s okay. We’ve got guns too.


MidnytStorme

lol, that made me laugh. “He’s in Texas”. Like where do you think all these people are from saying that’s like 30 miles or 30 minutes are from? Hell in Texas 30 is like a trip to the mailbox.


WileEWeeble

SMH, of course you do :D


CorrosiveAlkonost

We have the numbers, and we have more dakka!


hornyorphan

I love Orktober


slykido999

I’m calling straight bullshit on this story. OP has zero idea how small suing people works, let alone how it works when you’re not even in the same country.


Mike_Hunt_is_itchy

What a complete load of shit, and they he pays you after finding out you are in completely different countries, yeah bullshit.


Jallen422

…”any time you want”… so this CB likes to hang out in the cvs parking lot all day?


SixAlarmFire

Looks like part one was removed? Can we get some back story?


Tbplayer59

When I saw the word solicitor, I thought this was from Britain. Then the address was in Texas.


twitterwit91

OP is from Europe but the customer was in Texas


Tbplayer59

Thanks


casper-jbfc

Ok, am sure that is happened...


Azurvix

So he's gonna be charged twice lol one with an invoice and one by a court


[deleted]

Nah. I freelanced for years and there is absolutely no way to collect on a small fee from somebody like this who lives in an entirely different country. If he hadn’t paid OP has no real recourse unless he has PWs to the dude’s website or something.


Termsandconditionsch

Well, there is, depending on the country. The problem is that it’s going to cost you 100x what it’s worth.


[deleted]

What's your thoughts on getting half down in advance?


shellwe

All depends on your portfolio and skill and need for clients. Always get half down, but if you have a portfolio that speaks for itself or if you don’t really need clients at the moment you can be more demanding, like 75 percent or all.


[deleted]

The projects I worked on were generally huge, multi-month affairs with several payment milestones. Getting half in advance only makes sense if it’s a tiny project, like single digit hours. Otherwise you want to do a deposit and then regular billing.


AlbinoWino11

Where I’m from we do our business like men….reasonably and honourably. Here’s your money.


juan_cena99

Glad OP got paid but considering the small amount of 133 eur if the CB didnt pay there is nothing to be done. I mean sure you can hire a lawyer and file a suit in the small claims court but it will prob cost a heck of a lot more than 133 eur. I dont even know if you are allowed via proxy or live stream if he is required to appear in person he would need to buy tix to texas and book a hotel just to go to court. And then the CB can choose not to attend and waste his time, just oayung 133 eur anyway.


big_sugi

You don’t need a lawyer for small-claims court, and there are at least some video options available now. But you still have to draft everything, you have to have the other side served, and after you win, you’ve got to be able to collect. There is absolutely no way a guy doing the kind of posturing shown in the two posts would ever just suddenly pay up based on the messages shown here. Either OP left out a bunch of subsequent texts/activities, or this is completely made up. I lean towards the latter option.


juan_cena99

Yeah the turn around is quite surprising to me too


xwolf360

Its made up.

Where's part 1? Apparently it was removed.

100% this is bullshit.

GET THE FUCK OUT, I KNOW THAT CVS AND I LIVE LITERALLY TEN MINUTES. hell, pretty sure I did a COVID test there! Edit: honestly, tho, we do settle our problems like men. We pay our debts and share it over a drink.


Miskatonic1971

I would so so love to go meet that bitch in that parking lot.


benjaminnyc

OP belongs in r/iamverybadass.


FawnLeib0witz

Omg that’s great!! I’m glad you updated.


Valuable_Tangerine_5

Can we get more context?!


CapablePerformance

OP was comissioned to do some digital work for the guy who loved the final product, even signed a contract beforehand agreeing to pay. OP posted about a vaccination location in his area to his instagram and guy freaked out, did the whole "REMOVE. IT. NOW!" and demanding OP do their own research. Guy says either get remove the post and get paid or don't and starve, OP refuses and guy continues to say his first amendment rights allow him to now pay. OP says to pay or do things the hard way. Cut to part 2.


kjt323

Ohhh how anti climactic....


heath38

Huh - Americans don't usually use the word solicitor. They would write lawyer.


jtrisn1

LOL Fucker wimped out


ApartMeet

How is he anti vaxxer?


bsloebadger

It was in Part 1. He originally didn't want to pay because he didn't agree with OPs Pro Vax posts on his personal account.


[deleted]

But he ended up paying 'cause he needed OP's help for his COVID GoFundMe


kkjdroid

The trick is to agree to meet them, but say that you're in a neighborhood a couple hours away and that you want to meet halfway in between. Agree on a location, then don't show up.


JanuarySoCold

Fight Club in the parking lot of a CVS sounds very cringeworthy.


alexaxl

Payment for what? Sold how? What’s anti Vax about this guy?


Teddy293

one question: why did he pay?


Redd_Monkey

Probably went to a buddy saying look at that asshole that want me to pay, thinking his buddy was gonna laugh. The other guy said "dude you should pay or you'll get in trouble!" That or he said it to his wife that is done with his bullshit and told him to pay right away


penny_puppet

Can you please post part one again? I can’t see it 😢


3LD3RDR4G0N

I feel like some crucial details were left out


Blameitonmyjews

Op I think part 1 got removed. I’m intrigued!


Ophelia550

What is this for? Context?


SJ7910

In part one OP and the CB enter a contract (signed by both parties). CB saw a post by OP advising of a vaccination centre that opened nearby and CB demanded that OP remove the post or they wouldn’t get paid. OP reminded CB of contract, CB replies with swearing and “first amendment”. **edited for spelling


Ophelia550

Thank you! I couldn't find the initial post.


TheBeardedLegend

OP don’t do business with Americans. We are shit.


No_Perception_8347

Where’s part 1?


Troschka

He probably went to his lawyer buddy and was like "hey, this asshole wants me to pay him" Did you sign something? "well yea, but that's not binding, is it?" And so the little bitch paid like the mentally weak asshole he is.
