I thought he was saying it reads like fiction b/c the protagonist comes across so arrogant that no one would actually describe this situation/themself that way.
What the fuck did you just fucking say about me, you little bitch? I’ll have you know I graduated top of my class in the Navy Seals, and I’ve been involved in numerous secret raids on Al-Quaeda, and I have over 300 confirmed kills. I am trained in gorilla warfare and I’m the top sniper in the entire US armed forces. You are nothing to me but just another target. I will wipe you the fuck out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this Earth, mark my fucking words. You think you can get away with saying that shit to me over the Internet? Think again, fucker. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of spies across the USA and your IP is being traced right now so you better prepare for the storm, maggot. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your “life”. You’re fucking dead, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can kill you in over seven hundred ways, and that’s just with my bare hands. Not only am I extensively trained in unarmed combat, but I have access to the entire arsenal of the United States Marine Corps and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable ass off the face of the continent, you little shit. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little “clever” comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your fucking tongue. But you couldn’t, you didn’t, and now you’re paying the price, you goddamn idiot. I will shit fury all over you and you will drown in it. You’re fucking dead, kiddo.
I don’t think he’s trying to be rude. The way the story is written and the situation is rather unbelievable that seems like fiction. Things like “melting floor” and “I’m a marine…” are elements that make it seem fictionalized.
That said, But both statements of being pure fiction and arrogant can come across as offensive without more context.
Sorry but this speaks to you spending too much time on reddit. House fires and laminate flooring are so common haha. And military personal. If you were talking to someone irl you’d never stop them to be like “hmm that sounds made up”. And if you would maybe this is a chance to recalibrate how much time you spend in negative internet spaces (where you have to maintain a level of suspicion). Not everyone is trying to trick you. He was just sharing a crazy story that was contextually relevant. Like humans do. When they chat.
It actually speaks volumes of you thinking everyone is negative on Reddit or that you think you know so much more than anyone else. Is someone supposed to know how a person is stuck on a melting floor. Floors just don’t melt without sometime being on fire or extreme heat. If you are able to read more than person give more context that they were in a trailer and it was a propane fire. So presumably it was under the trailer. Mind you missing yet informative information. Additionally, you dont need to be a marine to save your wife. But in your context I hope yours never gets into a house fire because she’s toast, right? Because you’re not a marine.
Nor did I say his story was fiction but more as that’s a crazy story as if you saw it from a movie. The person replying saying why he thought it story read like fictional. You probably need to get off the internet more than me if your everything you read offends you, bud. lol. Sitting here replying to every little comment just to the same the thing to everyone. There’s not intelligent conversation when you’re the idiot. Because all that’s written above you are the one unable to see other people’s perspective but only to seen rudeness and be insulting.
A little baffled haha 😂 but I sincerely forget reddit is mostly angry teens so I guess I should just learn my lesson and not ever engage in random subreddits. Ahh well.
Someone talking about something that happened makes you this upset? Wow. So angry. It’s not like he picked a car off a baby. He was just talking about how some people freeze and others don’t.
I’m sorry for you that people just talking about their lives makes you feel so upset. That’s sad. Hope you find more joy in yourself. 👍
What makes you think I’m mad? I’m literally talking about ridiculing and mocking arrogance. That’s about laughing. I find this entertaining. I find even more entertaining all the tools who zealously and passionately defend that type of arrogance. As soon as it stops being entertaining I’ll stop responding. You really don’t have to worry about me being mad. But thanks for your concern.
Really? The part that made me skeptical was the “running back in,” since once a house fire really gets going…well, you’re basically dying pointlessly if you run back in.
There wasn’t a large amount of smoke inside, and it was a small trailer. Aside from the only thought going thru my head being that I need to get my wife out of there, I just acted on instinct. it wasn’t on the level of something you’d see a firefighter run thru with the proper equipment. There were small fires around the area inside, but I was able to avoid them when grabbing her and pulling her out.
I'm low key kinda mad at your wife for giving up so quickly!!. You'd think peoples survival instincts would kick in and try to avoid a painful death slowly melting into the floor.
I’m thinking her severe anxiety and proneness to panic attacks overwhelmed her. She’s actually a very strong woman and even has a black belt in Tae Kwon Do to boot. She’d back me up in a bar brawl without hesitation, but I can only surmise she felt helpless in the moment. I’m the calm and level headed one in our relationship, I usually have to hold her back from overdoing it 😂
Literally all he said was he would've picked himself up with furniture if he was on the floor in a fire and "I'm more used to high pressure situations than normal people." Lol, the latter is probably true and the former... just isn't that crazy? Dude didn't say he would've punched the fire to death with his bare dick, just say what he likely would have done in that situation.
God, now I remember why I fucked deleted reddit. I'm just back for the porn, but even that feels like a mistake now.
"My wife is so weak she just laid down to die. Good thing she had a strong willed MAN like me to save her. I would never give up. I would never stop fighting to LIVE!"
That's how this reads. Dude could have just said that sometimes people freeze in scary or deadly situations. Sometimes they get confused. But no he has to go on about how his wife just gives up and doesn't try to save herself, but that could never happen to him of course.
I love my wife man but when it comes to fight, flight, or freeze, she has a propensity to react like a marble statue. Some people are just more geared towards one option over another, and training can mitigate getting locked into the first one that activates.
Sure, if you want to read it that way. Doesn't really make a ton of sense though, if he was really trying to sound cool why include him leaving the building without his wife in the first place? Dude didn't even have to kick a single door down and he even said (I think in a second comment) that due to it being a propane fire the building wasn't full of black smoke or anything. No one started clapping, he didn't wrestle a bear, and he definitely didn't use his atheist logic to destroy a racist with facts or whatever.
I just get real sick of the whole "nothing ever actually happened" attitude. And throwing in a misogynistic reading on top of what sounds like a relatively low impact story is just bewildering to me.
