One Wrong Move: 50 Shocking Stories of Lives Shattered in an Instant
This d**g business started to grow and ended up crossing state borders which brought the FBI into play. Before he knew it, he was arrested, his partners stole all his cash, and he’s currently in prison for what may end up being a minimum of 10 years. Hes 27 years old. It’s awful.
Our High School Valedictorian was the smartest kid I knew. He was an introvert, but he had the answer to every question known to man in class. One month before graduation he was bragging about Ivy league schools that accepted him and which one he was going to choose. Three weeks before graduation, someone found a note he wrote that fell out of his bag. It was a “hit list” of students that he hated and he wanted to k**l or hurt. Within 48 hours he was suspended from school, not allowed to attend graduation and we heard the Ivy league schools all dropped him. All I remember was him getting handcuffed in class and him screaming it was a joke. 10 years later and I heard he lives with his mom and works at Best Buy. (nothing wrong with that for some of you!)
There’s a video of this girl in a dance competition in a club. She’s twerking upside down in a headstand. She slips and her body falls down over her head, snapping her neck. She died from twerking. That has to be a tough funeral to get through.
Had a cr****y science teacher in highschool. She would always just write s**t on the whiteboard and tell us to spend the rest of the class copying it down while she goes and gets a coffee from Maccas. One time she left the class during a presentation just to change her shoes because her current ones were looking a bit ‘worn out’.
Anyways so everyone was fed up with her s**t so much that when she left the classroom again one of the honor kids spat into her coffee cup. Teacher came back and saw a long a*s spit going from her coffee cup to the kids mouth.
As much as we had her back, the other teachers didn’t listen to us, took the teachers side, and EXPELLED her.
Really tough since getting expelled was a major upset for her family she ended up moving back to her hometown and is helping out at her parents farm.
NOTE: not sure if she ‘f****d up her life’ per se, since she looks happy helping out her fam but she had a really bright future ahead of her, and probably still does if she puts her mind to it.
I know this guy who had a really s****y upbringing (growing up in the slums, absentee alcoholic/d**g a****t parents, a ton of brothers and sisters) but despite all of that, was actually brilliant. He wasn’t planning on going to college because he’s in the ghetto, he can’t afford college, he thinks he just needs to go straight to work. Well his gf/fwb fills out all of these college apps behind his back and he gets accepted into MIT! Well he gets there and almost immediately became an alcoholic, got drunk and smashed up a bunch of cars, got arrested and kicked out of school. He went to rehab a few times and he’s clean now working as a dishwasher at a diner that his sister manages. Tragic.
Worked a grocery store bakery. New assistant manager for the bakery comes in and immediately “adjusts the work flow to be more efficient”, aka dumps all his work on the already enormously busy evening workers. He also complains about the quality of everyone’s work and s***s on everyone under him constantly, seemingly just because he can. He especially has a bone to pick with me because I listen to the wrong talk radio station or something, and he goes to extra lengths to insult me openly and leave me tons of extra work.
One day shortly before close, he leaves the bakery with an empty cake box. He comes back with it full and taped up neatly. He leaves it on the counter saying he needs to hit the bathroom, so I pick it up… and it’s heavy as hell. No way that’s a cake. So I phone the acting manager and report theft. They checked the cameras and sure enough, he had filled the box with expensive steaks.
Company pushed charges and prosecuted him to the fullest extent possible. They were big on making examples at that point to curb the high levels of employee theft. He got absolutely f****d and was unemployable overnight. Sold his house, lost his wife… don’t know what happened after that but I bet it wasn’t good.
TL;DR assistant bakery manager treats me like s**t, I catch him stealing steaks, company destroys his life.
Good friend of mine in High School was on a full ride sports scholarship at a state university as the starting pitcher. This f*****g kid could pitch 95 mph in High School and after 6 months he could get over 100mph. This kid had the perfect life. Anyway, he wasn’t content with the money mom and dad were feeding him on a silver spoon, so he started selling aderall for extra money. He was buying it in Mexico and transporting it in his $60,000 truck. One time he was too high while transporting and passed out behind the wheel. He rolled the truck and the latch for the bed cover broke open and pills flew everywhere over the road. He is now looking at up to 15 years in prison.
My brother and I inherited 20k each after our grandfather passed. He withdrew it all from his bank before going to jail for a DUI. He hid it in the house where he had been staying, and his room mates robbed him of 13k in cash and sold all of the musical equipment he had bought with his inheritance.
In grade school an acquaintance who we’ll call Mike loosened a kid’s bicycle brakes at recess. The bike had been locked to the rack in the area where we had our outside time. Not really sure if it was malicious or just dumb kid stuff, but the kid whose bike it was was very smart. Probably top 3 smartest in our grade. I think it was 6th or 7th grade. So later that day the kid is riding to the library and flying down a hill on his final couple blocks. There’s a stop sign at which a car stops in front of him. Bicyclist hits his brakes and nothing happens. Kid slams into the back of the car. He had a helmet on, but still suffered brain damage. He became very slow and would do weird things in class like blow fart noises with his mouth mid class thinking it was funny. His mom was one of the ladies who would volunteer at the school and monitor lunch and whatnot. She went from being a really tough lady who most of us were kind of scared of, to the sweetest lady ever. She was just happy her son was alive even if he was permanently brain damaged. To this day nobody knows about the brake loosening and I’ve wanted to tell his family, but that would be just an utterly selfish thing to do only for my own closure. This was over 20 years ago. Kid’s life was ruined.
Guy I was in the army with fell asleep in his tank while on overwatch. He was 12 years in. Soon to be E7. Had no life or interest outside of the army. He got chaptered out over falling asleep. Not saying he didn’t deserve it. But it f****d up his entire life with a quickness.
My brother in the 70’s protesting the war in Vietnam. I was in high school at the time, he was a stringer for some antiwar publications.
He got into his head to try home brewing some explosives. Has a successful test and was making another batch in his 3rd (top) floor apartment. His buddy walked in with a lit cigarette and boom.
