20 Times People Faced Wild Consequences for Being Honest
willothewhispers 7y ago I got my driving license taken away from me. I live in the UK. Last January i had an epiphany about my life that led me to quit drinking and smoking and start on the road to becoming a paramedic. In applying for the hgv license the job requires a doctor asked me if id ever had any alcohol problems. I said yes and explained how i had quit some 4 months before so i could turn my life around. Then i had blood tests which were obviously clear. A couple of months later the DVLA contacted
OneSalientOversight 7y ago Once I was in a job interview and the owner (now a CEO of a large Australian corporation) asked me if I would lie in order to get his company more profits. I said no. Не was incredulous. I didn't get the job but I got a different one in the same company. A completely unqualified person got the job I was going for. Everyone I worked with hated the place. Hated. Hated. Hated. I have never seen such an unhappy workforce. I joined the exodus 6 weeks later. 2.2K ...
beast_nuts 7y ago About ten years ago, a friend and co-worker of mine was fired for something I did. I mean, he literally was not there when it happened. So he called HR, told them what had happened. HR called me and asked me to confirm. I even went to several managers trying to explain that I was in fact the one responsible, that my friend was not even at work when the incident happened, and even if he had been, I still would have been responsible because it was my doing. Instead of rehiring my friend and writing me
7y ago Not me, but a good friend of mine was working as a student teacher at a high school. Не had saved up 3 or 4 sick days at the end of the year and decided he was going to use them to go camping and rock climbing. Instead of simply telling his boss he was sick, like a normal person, he told them he was going to use his sick days to go play outside and rock climb. Needless to say, they were not happy When I asked him wtf he was thinking, he said he was
suitology 7y ago Edited 7y ago A teacher asked me who broke the laptop on her desk. I told her I think she did when she put the projector down on it for a minute while she was getting the cart ready. I got in trouble for lying, breaking the computer, talking back, and acting out in class. My dad had to show up and blow a gasket at the principal before they un-punished me and admited put a 30lb progector on top of an apple laptop wasn't a good idea and that the dent on the back of the
Hippydippy420 7y ago My BFF had two boys and they both spoke with speech impediments - they couldn't pronounce their R's, like that character on The Big Bang. Their elementary school tried getting them into speech therapy but, she wouldn't allow it because she thought their speech impediments were cute. I asked her if she ever heard an adult speak like that and I was basically dead to her from that day on. As a true friend, you need to keep it 100% with them, anyone who doesn't isn't a true friend. I dgaf what she thinks, keeping her kids from getting
BloodBathSalt 7y ago When I was in junior high, my close friend who lived in my neighborhood was being beaten by her parents, i was riding my bike one night past their house and heard it. She admitted it too. I told my adjustment counselor at school. The counselor (unethically and illegally) told my friend that I had tattled. DCF got involved but as usual, never did much about it I am still fairly bitter that the counselor didn't lose her job over it. 722 ...
Aleksandra1128 7y ago I'm not the most honest person ever, but I did choose to tell my mum the truth about my father. I found out that he was cheating on her, for about 2 months, when I was using his phone. And I thought about it for a few weeks, and decided that my mum deserved to know, so I told her. It destroyed her, pretty much. She lost it and had a psychotic break. My younger brother was pretty messed up about that too, because seeing your parents fight everyday isn't the best when you're 10. I don't
SilverCommon 7y ago In middle school, we had this science teacher who was a pretty cool guy, veteran, wrote poetry, overall nice. But on this one assignment, he asked at one point what grade do you think you should get? Not wanting to oversell myself, I said a 90%. All these other people who had done much less on the assignment put 100s and I thought he would ridicule them for saying that bad work was an A+. When we got the papers back, everyone got exactly what they gave themselves. There's a lesson in here somewhere, but I am
WaterAndStones 7y ago My mom liked using the phrase if you're crying, you're lying when I was little. I had (... And still have) trouble keeping my emotions steady during stressful conversations, so this kind of shit happened a few times: -something happens around the house and mom gets upset -mom confronts me asking if I'm responsible -I say no, but being accused makes me upset and I cry -if you're crying, you're lying! -I get punished, sometimes without even knowing what I did wrong 779 ...
7y ago Met this lady at a party and friended her on fb in 2010. She was constantly posting fundraisers for her sick son. It was pretty annoying so I unfriended her. I saw her again about 6 months later and she actually noticed I had unfriended her and was confrontational about it. So being drunk and honest i said You posted a lot about your kid and I thought it was annoying so I unfriended the account. I'm not a good person. Predictably she got super pissed and made a big scene. Other people at the party thought
coffeetime825 7y ago I witnessed a fight in middle school. I went to tell a teacher. We (the two fighters and I) went to the room where punished students go during class time to talk stuff over. We sit in desks and wait. I think I'm gonna tell the teacher what happened and clear things up quickly. One hour passes, and I miss my favorite class. Then the teacher calls all three of us to the front. Не says a quick sentence to the fighting students and then gives me mine. So next time there's a fight, what are you
TrainingSecret 7y ago Every time I tell my mom or sis how the food tastes. They ask me and I'm like: It's good, but it kinda tastes a little like soap. They were spitting mad, but weeks later my mom admitted that it was because she put too much ginger into the soup. 246 ... + More replies
PdiDwarf 0 7y ago A good friend of mine, to that time, got engaged with her girlfriend and she asked me, what my opinion was and I said, that I don't think that was a smart move, because they only knew each other for a few weeks. She was pissed at me for several weeks. Dumb fuck 1.6K ...
mermaidhairdontcare 7y ago My French friend got a tourist visa for the United States. At the border control they asked her what her plans were. She said visiting tourist sites, seeing friends and volunteering in order to have housing. This is illegal under the tourist visa in the USA and she was sent back to France and put on the blacklist. All because she didn't just say that she was there for tourism. Poor girl. Expensive mistake. 767 ...
7y ago Work wanted to fire someone so they made some bullshit excuse. Asked me to review security video and give my report which I did. They completely lied in court just to keep the guy from getting unemployment, then they made my job hell for not playing ball. 99 ... + More replies
BumblingBlunderbuss 7y ago Met this girl through some mutual friends. She was laying it on thick. Nicknamed me M&M because she wants me to Melt in her mouth, not in her hand. Said I had a sexy voice. etc etc etc. After like, 2 hours of this, with me barely responding/trying to get away from her, I finally had enough and said You're trying way to hard and it's kind of sad. She spent the rest of the time telling people how much of an asshole I was. Sorry girl, but I just wasn't attracted to you, and made that
pm_me_your_cumov 7y ago I got sent to principal and got detention. This happened because one time I didn't do my homework and told my teacher. Не asked why and I told him that I wasn't in the mood and too lazy for it. Не somehow thought I was disrespecting him so he sent me to the principal. Who in turn didn't even listen and gave me detention. My mom was disappointed by the situation. 441 ...
_Bones 7y ago Edited 7y ago I came out to my parents. I got likened to a pedophile and a war criminal in regards to people who need to deny their 'urges' and dragged in front of a priest. The priest was surprisingly cool with it, but of course all that meant to my mother was that he didn't know what he was talking about. EDIT: Just so y'all know I'm a trans woman, not a gay dude! I also got called possessed by literal actual demons during the coming-out screaming match, so that was even more fun. 430 ...
