I tried to tell my “mother” about what later was diagnosed as a rare form of epilepsy at around 8yo. She waved it off like she did with everything I told her. Fast forward to when I was 30yo (a few years ago) I admitted myself to the hospital because I felt funny. Had a grand mal seizure in the ER and after testing and brain scans. Lo and behold there WAS something there. I couldn’t help myself and told her I fucking knew I was right all these years. She mumbled an apology saying that she didn’t know how to help me back then. I was like wtf? You could’ve taken me to the doctors…but I still feel better finally putting that bitch in her place
“You really shouldn’t eat egg salad from the gas station.”
“But I like egg salad. You can’t mess up egg salad.”
“Okay, but somewhere between 6 and 12 hours later you’re going to regret it.”
He regretted it.
Had a new family move in next door several years ago and caught “husband smacks his wife around” vibe almost immediately. She wouldn’t look at anyone, smile, almost looked like a zombie. Dude tried interacting with other neighbors and seemed to be doing a good job pretending he wasn’t an abusive person. One day, ran into one of the neighbors and we started talking about the newbies on the block. My neighbor didn’t seem too concerned, but I just couldn’t shake the feeling that new dude was bad news.
Fast forward three months and my wife and I were woken up by some loud banging and screaming. As she called the cops, grabbed my firearm to go see what was going on. Next thing I see is the neighbor’s wife running out of their front door, naked and bloody, pleading for help. Ended up holding dude at gunpoint until police arrived 10 minutes later. Turns out he had beaten her so bad he had broken several bones in her face, two fingers, and she had deep bruising on her throat from trying to choke her to death.
The next morning, I made a point to say “I fucking told you so” to anyone who thought that worthless piece of shit was a good human. And yes, he was arrested and charged. Spent 6 months in jail and they took off with one another the second he was released.
COVID19, showed the first videos to friends and family on January 23. As soon as it got here I told my parents the world as they knew it was going to change. They didn’t believe me until a month later.
There has been a lot, but this happened today. I am a retail investor from India. There are 3 major private telecom players in the market namely Jio, Airtel and Vodafone. Over the past few weeks Jio had investments from facebook, then there was speculation that Google was in talks to invest in Vodafone. While this happened the stock prices of the two companies went up. While this was happening, last week I told my friend who is also an investor, ” dude, there is very high probability that Amazon or apple will try invest in Airtel “. Kaboom ! Today the news flashes ” Amazon in talks to invest in Airtel India. Immideately called up him and ” I fucking told you ” were the exact same words I told my friend 🤣
