29 People Who Became the Very Thing They Swore to Destroy
The “get off my lawn guy” has been the antagonist in myriad kids' cartoons, the Grinch of real-life neighborhoods, and served as the entire premise of Clint Eastwood’s Grand Torino, which is why Redditor Psk499 never thought they’d never turn into this curmudgeonly stock villain. Until, that is, one fateful day when they noticed a bunch of rambunctious, class-skipping middle schoolers posted up on their property.
“Had a few getting into a fight and ran into my car in my driveway,” they recalled of their unwanted pre-teen guests. “I had a full-on rated R version of ‘get off my lawn.’”
Unfortunately, he’s not the only one to wake up and realize he’s become the bad guy. Other Redditors have admitted that they’ve become the very thing they swore to destroy, the most egregious transformations including overpaid bosses, aggressive drivers and a whole lot of people who sound like their mothers.
