piss disc Why the sub got restricted

1.6k Upvotes

Hello everyone, mod here. We've been asked a few times why the sub got restricted for a while, so I'm here to answer.

Reddit mailed us, telling us that lots of our sub's posts and comments were violating their rule against violence (inevitable due to the nature of this sub)​, and that there weren't enough moderators. They gave the current mods at the time a deadline to recruit more mods, and the current mods didn't meet the deadline, so Reddit restricted the subreddit.

They've recruited more mods since (I'm a new recruit, hi!) and we got permission to unrestrict the sub.

Edit: yes we have mailed them piss discs

Careers and Work ULPT: Laid off after the CEO called me a bitch and I stood up for myself.

139 Upvotes

I’ll keep it short for you guys. Basically became good friends with the CEO, always worked hard, stayed on task and did my job, he trusted me and would always ask for help with computer stuff and I always obliged with no increase in pay. (We do sales, commission only, 1099 independent contractors). He would dangle carrots and say he’d make me the manager when I finish up with school and ended up giving the position to someone else that no one in the office likes. That’s fine. Whatever. We then found out that one of the salespeople was cheating our system. He asked everyone to vote on firing that person and I said I’m not taking part in that vote, you’re the owner you should be making that decision. Blah blah blah, he ends up calling me a bitch, berates me for no reason, takes out his frustration on me instead of the sales rep who got in trouble. I pushed back, told him not to talk to me like that because I’ve always had the best interest of his company in mind. Never took a personal shot. And he just kept saying “im the boss, I can do whatever I want” Anyways he fired me. I’m usually not petty and can let stuff go but I was loyal to the company and never cut corners, always helped him out and even became friends. I’ve thought about reporting the company to the state for misrepresenting us as 1099 when we in reality should be w2, I’ve thought about venting it out on the google review page but scared of legal things happening. I don’t know, what would you guys do?

Relationships ULPT My ex wife is "dating" a married man

37 Upvotes

I know his full name and I have met his wife (I met her at a work event when I was still with my wife). I find cheating to be disgusting and a horrible thing to go through. My ex-wife described to me how willing he was to cheat and how eager he is to continue. They apparently made out on his doorstep while his wife was asleep. How can I find his wife to let her know? I don't know her name or their address, but I know where he works and his first and last name

Money and Finance ULPT: Dealing with lowballers

175 Upvotes

If you are selling something on Facebook marketplace or similar and you get a low ball offer shortly after listing it, do this.

Agree to a time and place (public) of sale at least a day in future. On a day of handover, write to the person that made the lowball offer and let them know that you have received and offer at the price you listed, so are going to cancel the pickup, unless of course they want to accept that price. If they get angry then block and report.

Careers and Work ULPT: Extend a email deadline

84 Upvotes

This could work at work or even at school, depending on the situation. Obviously, there’s no guarantee it’ll work every time, but hear me out.

Let’s say you need to email your boss an assignment with a file attached. Send the email, write a little something in the body, wish them a great weekend, whatever… and then intentionally forget to attach the file.

Wait until they reply saying the attachment is missing, then act like you just saw their email. If you’ve already got the assignment finished, you can immediately reply with the file attached. Boom. You look responsive, on top of things, and maybe even a little more competent than you would have otherwise.

Granted, this trick probably has a one- or two-time lifetime limit with the same person, so use it wisely.

Now, here’s the pro tip to the pro tip. When** **you try this, if you finish the assignment before they email you about the missing attachment, go ahead and send a follow-up apologizing for forgetting to attach it to the original email. Why? Because now you’ve established a pattern. The next time you pull the trick, it’s just, “Oh, he did it again.”

You might look a little careless, but at least you’ve conditioned them to expect it and can extend a deadline without the blowback.

Request ULPT Request:Where can I find people to leave bad review for a scam clinic?

3 Upvotes

I went to an skin clinic in Gurugram for a consultation. They pressured me into taking a service that I was told would cost ₹5,000, but charged me ₹20,000 instead.

I questioned it immediately and asked them to reverse the transaction. They said they would refund me, its been 2 months but I’m still waiting.

I’ve disputed the charge with my bank and filed a cybercrime complaint. The bank hasn’t been helpful, and the complaint is moving slowly. The clinic’s customer service is now ignoring me altogether.

I’m angry enough to want to review-bomb them, but I want my complaint taken seriously and the money refunded.

Social ULPT Some rando is using my number. I’m getting spammed.

90 Upvotes

He made a mistake. I got spammed with his address and name. His mothers name, and his wife’s name. A phone call from a collector. I looked all this up, and my phone number is listed as all of their primary numbers online. I’ve had this number since 1999. This has been going on for two years, but I never had anything but his first name.
The address checks. Called all numbers and found their real numbers. It Checks. It’s them.

I filed a complaint with the FCC. Now I want legal, anonymous, petty revenge. I already texted everyone that texted me looking for him, his address and real number. This person is a total stranger. What is weirder, is that they also had my brother’s old number as one of their primary numbers.

I just purchased a box of embarrassing prank postcards invites to fake events that I intend to send to his neighbors with his name on them, with something like “Can’t wait to see you at the P**n trading summit meet again next year! You had great content!!!”.

I legit can’t get in trouble tho, so, halp, please.

Miscellaneous ULPT How to mess with a pop-up food business

17 Upvotes

I helped start this business with a former friend. I was promised to be made a partner eventually, but that never happened and after a series of lies and shitty decisions he fired me with no warning. Long story. But I want to destroy his business now. It's a food popup and they partner up with local breweries and sell there. I don't want to screw with the actual workers or the breweries or anything. They're all cool. I have some hookups and can help get any of them a decent new job. I just want the owner guy who rarely is on site cuz he's a lazy, arrogant asshole. I do know where he lives. The idiot also didn't change the Square password and I'm still logged in on my phone, which gives me some limited access to things. I can't sign in on my computer though without it sending him a message.

What can I do to put this jerk out of business? Ruining the reputation of it would be great, but how?

Request ULPT Request: getting someone to open a gift they don't want

535 Upvotes

We have a gag gift item in my family. Nothing dangerous, just stupid. It is about the size of a large shoebox.

The goal is to not be the owner of the item. As such any gifts offered that are as large or larger than the item are often flatly refused. It has been hidden, sent in the mail, disguised as being from someone not in on the prank, and modified to look like some other really specific thing (charcoal grill, drum set) so that the recipient's guard is down. Everyone has gotten smarter now though.

I have the thing. How do I ensure that I am able to unload it? It is often exchanged at/around holidays (as this is when gifts are typically given) but that is not a requirement. However showing up to someone's house will generally get your car and any bags searched to make sure you aren't trying to smuggle it in.

The general rule is that once you have touched it, it belongs to you- whether you know what it is at that point or not.

Miscellaneous ULPT Inconsiderate Neighbour

23 Upvotes

I moved into a new apartment 6 months ago. It used to be a motel so the way it works, my very tiny backyard backs into my neighbors front door. I put up privacy fences already, but she sits on the other side right next to the fence and loudly talks on the phone for 8-10 hours a day while chain smoking cigarettes.

I have asked her to use her backyard (where she has a porch!!) But she said she prefers to sit in tje front right next to my fence. I cant sit outside, or even open the windows because of the amount of noise and cigarette smoke.

I have talked to the landlord, but since the neighbor has been there for over 10 years and i have just moved in, they said there is nothing they can do because she isn't technically doing anything wrong.

I wanted to put up windchimes next to where she sits, but they are not permitted in our complex.

What can I do to get her to stop??

Money and Finance ULPT: "Free" money on betting apps

0 Upvotes

Many sports and predictions betting apps will give you money for doing certain actions, like "100% trade match on an MLB game up to $10". So you bet $10 on a game, they give you the $10, then you immediately sell your $10 bet for a loss of about a dollar. The trick then is that you can't withdraw the money until you've bet with it, so just bet the full $19 on something and then immediately sell for about another dollar loss, and you profit $8. "DK" is the one I use and they give some kind of bonus like that almost every day. I've made $100 in the past two weeks, which isn't a lot but it's $100 I didn't have. Just be careful, don't actually use the money for gambling because the system is rigged against you

Request ULPT Request - neighbours playing loud music

11 Upvotes

Our neighbours have an outdoor sound system in their gazebo, and every time their adult son comes over (which is every Sunday for lunch), they blast bass heavy loud music which we hear throughout our house.

We have asked them to stop, the council has spoken to them, and we've even had the cops visit them.

Nothing has worked, and we know Christmas is going to be loud and constant (they often go from midday through to 8-9pm), so now I'm looking for creative solutions.

Request ULPT REQUEST- How to make offer letter for apartment?

1 Upvotes

Hello! I’m in a bit of a pickle rn and need anyone’s advice. Moved to a new city, still waiting on employment. However every place I apply to live at needs proof of employment, or they said an offer letter works since I moved here without employment. I really need a place and I have more than enough funds but they just refuse without the letter. So for anyone that’s done it before, or works in the apartment industry, how can I make a convincing offer letter?? Idk if I’m over thinking it but I don’t know what things they have that they could verify with. Any tips appreciated

Miscellaneous ULPT: easiest way you can get can honorably discharged from the military?

158 Upvotes

hypothetically, if you were in the United States military, and for some reason or another wanted to leave it while also getting all the military benefits, what’s the easiest and/or fastest way to do it?

Preferably, if it’s shorter than your military contract (shortest being 4 years), doesn’t result in a permanent or long lasting injury, or a incident where you are limited in what you can do because of mental health reasons.. but, that is only “preferred”. List anyway please, I’m just curious.

Let’s say in this hypothetical you’re already in the military, any branch, so you can’t just say “don’t join” or something.

My idea is honestly just this example;
“John is in the navy, he has been in the navy for a year or two, John wants to go home, he just so happens to “accidentally” go overboard, John is now being sent home with an honorable discharge, as the fall caused him back pain, headaches, and ptsd, or something idk”

Relationships ULPT: how to tell my ex SIL that her man slept with her mom

158 Upvotes

WHEN she was in the hospital giving birth.

We can call my ex-BIL C, and his wife J.

C has always been a POS. He’s cheated on J so many times throughout the years and she keeps getting back together with him. He has a kid from another woman who he never sees and 3 kids with J. He tried hitting on me once a long time ago when I was drunk at a family party. I told my ex and he said “Oh, he’s just being friendly. You don’t have to worry about him.” Meanwhile, C is the type of guy to whisper in my ex’s ear about how bad I was for him and for him to leave me, C, was the one to go and cheat on his wife with 50+ women.

So my ex told me C slept with J’s old ass mom when J was giving birth to their most recent baby. C loves older women apparently, but her mom sleeping with him is downright insane and WHEN SHE WAS IN THE HOSPITAL.

For reference, my ex told me this 6 months ago and made me swear I’d never tell anyone because he’s the ONLY one who knows and if I say something, C will know it was my ex who said something. I was always scared but their family is so toxic and my ex RUINED my life. I want to feel an ounce of satisfaction. How could I possibly tell J what C did without them knowing it was me, or would I blow it since as far as I know he’s only told my ex? I don’t speak Spanish but they do, maybe if I text it to her anonymously in Spanish so they think it’s family? I don’t know but I want to see some action

Just buy them fake followers. TikTok, Instagram and even YouTube highly penalise accounts with fake followers. If you buy someone with 70k instagram followers an extra 10k, it will completely demolish their account, sponsorships and any income they make from it by promoting their personal brand.

Just FYI.

Request ULPT How to ruin neighbor's piles of wood

279 Upvotes

Back story - neighbor is an asshole. Loud, obnoxious, inconsiderate. He has piles and piles of wood directly against our fence. Speaking to him about moving it away from the fence got me nowhere, in fact he added more because he's that kind of belligerent asshole.

So how do I ruin his piles of cut wood? I can pour something over the fence in the dark although that might get tricky because it's a 6ft solid wood fence. Or maybe shoot it through the small gaps? I don't want anything that will also impact my backyard (i.e. too smelly) or destroy my fence.
It's stacks and stacks of cut wood - about 6 ft high and 40 feet long.

Request ULPT REQUEST Cancel my gym membership or let them charge my expired card?

58 Upvotes

So essentially I've been going to this gym(local gym, not a franchise) for like 2-3 years now but I am out of state for college. I've called and emailed multiple requesting to cancel my gym membership and they say the some bs "You have to come in person to cancel". I've told them I'm 4+ hours away and can't come in and they said that I could send a certified letter.

But last weekend I was going to be home from school so I decided now would be a good time stop by and cancel. I come in and they told me I could cancel but I owed a balance of $69. My membership was supposed to renew that same day but I guess the card I had on file was expired. It was $54 for the month and $15 for the late fee. I tell the lady at the front about how I was calling prior to cancel, was at college, etc.

She tells me that I could email their financial coordinator to ask about getting the month of October waived and let them know I spoke with them. I mentioned to her that I would be around again late next week and she told me that if I'm around and cancel by then I wouldn't be charged for November.

So I go ahead and email the financial coordinator and she replies "To proceed with cancellation, you will need to come into the club and complete the appropriate cancellation form or send a certified letter if you don’t live in STATE anymore. As outlined in your membership agreement, cancellation requires one additional month of billing. Therefore, your final billing will be for the month of November, and there will be no refund for the October payment.

Please let me know if you have any questions. We’ll be happy to assist you when you come in to complete the cancellation paperwork."

So she wants me to pay for October and November to cancel 😂✌️

My card on file is expired so I'm considering just never going back there but I don't want to have them send a balance to collections and mess up my credit.

Other options would be to go in person again and try and talk it out or be a karen(I don't want to)

Or try and get them to remove that late fee for October and freeze my membership.

Not sure but I'm not paying two months for a gym I don't use anymore while I pay for one at school.

Request ULPT Request: Construction blocking parking on residential street.

16 Upvotes

A construction project on my street routinely blocks off numerous parking spots on my street preventing residents from using them. They leave cones up over the weekend, park delivery trucks blocking vehicles from getting out, and have already semi-permanently blocked half a dozen spots with their staging area. The whole neighborhood is already extremely crowded for parking, particularly due to the park across the street (which I love and don’t want to deny anyone use of).

Looking for suggestions to punish them for their negative impact on the community and disregard for the folks they’re inconveniencing. I don’t want to punish the workers or my neighbors. Ideally something that will cost the developer money and time but obviously without committing any crimes.
