15 Stories Of Nice People Who Were Pushed Too Far And Completely Lost It
Everyone has been trained to refrain from speaking when they have nothing kind to say. Some individuals never seem to embrace this slogan, while others seem to do it on a regular basis. You know the type—the incredibly polite and soft-spoken individuals who seem to be happy all the time. Those who readily agree to assist everyone at work and who never argue with their partner. Being as kind and kind as you can is perfectly acceptable, but nobody is able to maintain that state forever. It's inevitable that something will break at some point.
People who've witnessed good people finally crack, what happened? was a question that one inquisitive person posted to the Ask Reddit community, and hundreds of users immediately started sharing their personal accounts of the moments when these camels' backs ultimately snapped. You can read the surprising and funny stories about people who, after getting fed up with being taken advantage of or ignored, eventually stood up for themselves below. They can even encourage you to raise a concern in your own personal life.
Unfortunately, word has gotten out and some people now think of the clinic as "the place where you can dump unwanted cats." Which they really can't. It's already at capacity.
Anyhow, I'm waiting there one day for a routine checkup and this Kardashian-looking woman, covered with jewelry and expensive clothes, walks in with a perfectly healthy-looking cat. She tells the woman behind the counter, "I'm leaving town, I can't take the cat, so I'm donating it to you guys." The employee explains that no, that's not a sweater in your hands and this isn't Goodwill. It doesn't work that way. Oblivious to her surroundings - there are maybe a dozen people there, between patient parents and staff - the visiting woman isn't even making an effort to talk discreetly.
After being refused, she says fine, if you don't take the cat, I'm just going to dump it on the street. She has a brief staredown with the woman behind the counter, maybe assuming that she can guilt the clinic into taking her cat, then walks away.
Another customer - a big beefy guy - who's been watching this, intercepts the woman before she can get to the door. And proceeds to say something so vivid, I wish I could repeat it verbatim but I can paraphrase it with some highlights.
"Lady, you want to dump the cat? Fine. I'm going to give you what you want. I'll take your cat."
"But the price is that I'm going to berate you in front of everyone here, you useless f*****g c**t. You're so goddamned selfish you won't even cough up 69¢ a day for a can of Friskies? F**k you, you f*****g wh**e. You don't f*****g deserve the generosity of the people who work here. You want to f*****g blackmail them into preventing a cat murder? You disgust me. If it wasn't for that gold-plated pussy dripping between your legs, I'd punch you in the orbital sockets until your eyes bleed. Now get the f**k out of my sight before I decide that it'd be worth a battery charge to do it anyway. F**k you." This was R. Lee Ermey-level s**t.
By now, the doctor herself has shown up. She doesn't know exactly what's happening, but it's gotten pretty loud. Obviously she doesn't like people swearing at other people in her waiting room, it's bad for business. The guy says to her, "Look, you're probably used to it, but I get angry when I see people who mistreat animals."
Her boss started pressuring her to complete our annual budget report faster, but this thing is huge and comprehensive and a figurative beast. “Mary” told the boss it would be ready in a couple of weeks, per the usual schedule.
The boss said that it needed to be completed within one week to give to the higher ups. “Mary” said it wasn’t possible. Boss emailed “Mary” + Cc a bunch of coworkers and the Assistant Managers, calling “Mary” out for a poor work ethic and for making the department look bad.
“Mary” said it wasn’t possible and didn’t appreciate being bullied. She put in her notice to retire by the end of the week, leaving her boss high and dry. She was the only one who could do the budget report in a timely manner - so the Department was double f****d.
Good for her.
One day we were doing a 1 mile run for PE. She's really unathletic so she finished it in around 11 minutes. No one really cared except for this one track athlete. He started mocking her and laughing. She was visibly pissed, she'd been having a bad day and she couldn't deal with more.
"Don't be rude, not everyone is good at everything," was all she said as she took a step closer to him.
"What are you going to do?" He said, mocking her British accent. At this point she was riled up because he had done this multiple times before and she'd deal with him properly every single time. But he just wouldn't listen.
"I'll do this."
She punched him.
Right in the nose.
Blood started pouring out of his nose and he rushed to the nurse. She was suspended for a day. The principal was generous to her because he knew how much of a d**k this guy could be. She never apologized, and that dude is now legit scared of her.
Cue my quiet, sweet, introverted friend (K) getting so angry I swear steam was coming out of her ears. One of the girls had thrown a decent sized piece of her egg patty at us & it landed on the floor near K’s foot. K proceeded to step on the egg patty, pick it up off the ground, walk over to the table of bullies, and shove the egg DIRECTLY INTO THE MOUTH OF THE ONE WHO HAD THROWN IT!
This was such an amazing moment in my high school memory. I couldn’t believe what I was seeing as K was the last person I would’ve expected to do that. Of course she did get in trouble but she didn’t regret it one bit.
Anyway the cadets would often ignore the talk pad because it wasn't very loud and well teenagers are d***s.
Until one day he got pushed to far and absolutely screamed "SHUT THE F**K UP!".
Everyone went silent, the guy himself looked utterly shocked, so did the other instructor and no one said another word that day without being asked.
This dude got so angry he temporarily overcame his severe brain injury just to make us be quiet.
Our group had this guy (we'll call him N) he was pretty popular and every one liked him.
He was the perfect blend of Jock and Nerd
* You want to break up a fight? *you call N*.* You want someone to play the piano for your musical? *you call N*.* You want help with mathematics or physics? *you call N*.* You want a midfielder for the football(soccer) team? y*ou call N*.* You want to talk to someone? ***you call N!***
So we were in the mess when a guy (let's call him A) started teasing our friend (P) because how fat and ugly she was. A and his friends were laughing passing comments all around. N told P to "ignore the bs". Then A and his friends started throwing paper bits and food at us, N told A to quit it. A didn't listen and told P that her father left because he could't stand how ugly she was.
This was pretty much the last straw.
N got up grabbed A and threw him against the wall, like a bag. A's friends got up and N punched both of them in the face and one of them ended up with a bloody nose. N went back A and laid it to him at least 10 to the face. It was at this time that me and my friends could separate them.
A ended up with a 1 week suspension and two broken teeth.
N also got a 1 week suspension but his mother told us she is proud of him when she invited all of us for dinner. She even told P that she will be going to the school with P's mom to talk to the principal about this matter.
All in all N and his family are the most wholesome people I've ever met.
Ashley took it upon herself to treat me like a doll, if that makes sense. She'd pick me up, throw me around, play with my hair, draw on my hands and arms in class, and I absolutely hated when she did this, but I just kind of put up with it because I didn't want to make her mad. This went on for a couple of months, until one day I just really wasn't feeling it. I was sick, but went to school anyway. We were in PE, and she started messing with me, trying to pick me up. I started crying, telling her not to, that I was sick and I didn't want her to touch me. She didn't listen and picked me up, squeezing my stomach.
I threw up directly onto her face and chest. She stopped messing with me after that.
One day the kid tried to push me into some bushes thinking it’d be funny, he’d never gotten physical before. I grabbed his wrist and put him on his a*s. He went down on his back and when he tried to get up I put the past two years into a single punch that put him right back down. Next day in school kid had the darkest black eye I’d ever seen, he wasn’t at the stop for the next few days and when he started taking it again he never said another word.
I shocked a bunch of people, but turns out lots of other kids hated this guy and were jealous I gave him what he had coming. It did a lot of good for me and the positive reaction kind of helped me come out of my shell. 10/10 would punch again.
He's better now. They split up and live in different continents.#11
At a manager meeting one of the General managers (who was known for being a total jackass to everyone) was going off on how every store should be run. Well, she snapped.“You have the highest turnover rate out of any store in the district! You can’t keep employees for more than 6 months before they just quit all saying you were the problem. Maybe you should take that “advice” you’re giving us and use it on yourself.”
Edit: WOW! I didn’t expect this to blow up and thank you so much for the silver! So for anyone who’s invested in what happened next. She put in her two weeks not even 3 days later. The manager who she yelled at was transferred to a different location out of that district. The store he managed has since bounced back and has been doing very well.
Steve stops. Steve kindly removes his glasses. Steve pushes slowly his keyboard out of the way and climbs on the desk. Steve releases a primeval cry to get everyone's attention and goes:
"HBGUUUAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH. EITHER YOU ALL SHUT THE F**K UP RIGHT NOW OR I'M GONNA BE REMOVING THE S**T OUT OF YOUR ASSES WITH MY D**K UNTIL SUNRISE".
Noone talked after that, noone laughed at Steve, and a few people even forgot to breathe for a few seconds from the shock.
We've called him Bad M**********r Steve ever since, even got him the same wallet as Sam L. Jackson has in Pulp Fiction.
The first exception to this was when my normal Spanish teacher was out on maternity leave for about 7 weeks. The substitute had had to ask me to stop talking at the beginning at class one day and had labeled me as the problem child. This was a new for me since all of my previous teachers liked me and I did really well in class. Over the next few weeks she would call me on the smallest of infractions, or ones I had not done. Looking back, I guess she was using me as an example of power.
The straw that broke the camel's back happened in week 4. My friends and I were a few minutes early to class, as usual, and we were talking. I saw the teacher get up from her desk and I knew class was starting so I stopped talking. I had been quiet for close to 20 seconds and she yells at me to stop talking. I was done with this s**t. I stood up and said something like, "When was I talking? I stopped talking when you got up from the desk and had been silent for atleast 20 seconds. Can you explain to me what I did wrong just now? I will not be yelled at for things I have not done!" After that I sat down and she just started class.
From then on I was her favorite student. That was the only time I yelled at a teacher. It was worth it.
Anyways, I digress, one day while we were there in class she came in before the bell like always. I noticed she looked a bit annoyed already. The teacher hasn't started her lesson yet so my friend starts to talk to me and that's when Matt decides to bother her again. Once she started to talk, Matt goes "ah fweh? Eh Bleh gwah?" She stops talking, pauses for a second then turns to him. At that moment I knew something was going to happen. She got up from her chair and walked over to him. I don't remember exactly what she said but this is the closest to what she said. "Hey, Matt? Did you have a stroke or something?“ "No i-" "Cause it seems like you have a stroke every time you talk to me. Maybe it's because you're so f*****g dumb that your brain just shuts down. Either ways I'm so f*****g done with your b******t, Matt. Unless you're actually having a mother f*****g stroke I don't want to hear ANOTHER one of those sounds. You're not funny! No one thinks you're funny! If you think being f*****g racist is f*****g funny then maybe you did actually have a stroke! F*****G STOP IT! I AM SO DONE WITH YOU AND YOUR F*****G NOISES! JUST STOP BEING SUCH A B***H AND SHUT THE F**K UP! GOT IT?!"
By the end of that sentence, Matt has recoiled in his chair while my friend was standing there, panting from her outrage. In the background I can hear one of our other friends laughing, but not at her. "Holy s**t! That's the first time I've heard you curse! Goddamn she told you off Matt!" After that she huffed and sat back down. Surprisingly the teacher didn't notice because she didn't say anything. Or she did notice but watched it unfurl.
TL;DR- usually nice girl snaps and curses out a guy that's been racist to her.
Though there was one kid who bullied him a lot. For no reason really. The bully’s name was Garrett but they would call my brother names and hide pencils/pens to get him yelled at in class. Well one day Garrett for some odd reason decided to literally slap my brother in the face with a school lunch. Like a piece of pizza or something. Chicken fried steak maybe? My brother got up, picked him up by his shirt and slammed him to the floor, proceeding to break the kids nose and maxillae (upper jaw below the nose). After that everyone called him Garrett the Ferret because he had to have his mouth wired shut.
Fast forward a few years and I was being bullied and garrett actually stood up for me. I don’t know if he got his s**t together or was just afraid of someone bullying me knowing how my bother handles things.

In middle school, my six foot two gentle giant friend who is literally the nicest guy you'd ever meet got teased about his mom by some short popular kid. My friend no hesitation picked him up by his shirt and slammed him against the locker at eye level and said, "Never talk about my mom like that." One of my favorite memories of him.
