19 Stories About People Who Were Confronted With Bullies And Didn’t Lose Their Composure

The world is full of cheeky neighbors who show up at 3 am to ask for some medicine, brazen busybodies who seek comfort at the expense of others, and loved ones who believe that loyalty in relationship was only important in the 18th century. And although we hope not, you’ve probably encountered people like that in your life.

Before reading this post, we at awesome.clubwe advise you to keep a tranquilizer at your side, as some of these stories can drive you crazy.

I was going home. At the bus stop, a woman in her 50s waved with her granddaughter at her side. I stop the car, and we have the following dialogue:

“Could you take me to a town farther on?” I can give you 2 reais.

“It’s the way for us, ma’am, you don’t have to pay.

At this, she interrupts me:

— No, you know, I’ll just give you a real. Your car reeks of cigarettes.

— You can wait for the bus. Have a good day. © SinPodrugi / pikabu

Ring the bell, I open the door. He’s a plumber for some company. The dialog follows:

— Can I see the water pipe in the bathroom?

– Yes sure. You may come in.

He enters, observes and says:

— So let’s cut it here, I just need to get an instrument out of the car.

“Wait, cut what?”

— Downstairs neighbor needs to change the plumbing in the bathroom.

“Good for him. And what do I have to do with it?

“Well, we decided to get out of here. Firstly, it is more convenient, and secondly, it will look better for you.

From what I understood, they wanted to take it out of my apartment so they didn’t have to do more work or spend more money to fix the neighbor’s. As a result, of course, I said they could saw or cut whatever they wanted, but not here at home. © Redisport / pikabu

“For the fools, smart ones, etc — Don’t park here, because this is Vitória’s place!!!”

I took one of the last buses at night. I needed to get off at the final stop, but there were still two stops to go. I was the only person on the bus. At this, the driver turns around and says:

– Where are you going?

— “Ocean”.

“Why don’t you walk?” I need to go elsewhere.

“Well then, I’ll pay less for the ticket.

“But I got you almost there.”

“For that, I’m going to ‘almost’ pay.”

At work, an employee in his 50s suddenly lost consciousness while talking to a young man. The men rushed him to the emergency room. There, as usual, there was a queue, but, of course, they passed him in front of everyone immediately.

When she saw the patient, the doctor hurried to her feet and left her office to get immediate help for him. At this moment, we heard another doctor who, perhaps due to lack of experience, thought that the doctor had left the room to do personal things, instead of attending to the patient, and said in a loud voice (in a rather rude tone):

— Dr. Elizabete, you could send me the patient’s data first, and then leave to do your personal things, don’t you think?!

Everyone in the hallway heard it. The doctor stopped for a moment, confused, but ignored the “warning” out of time and went to help the patient. The man is now in the intensive care unit in serious condition. He had a stroke. © Nastas21 / pikabu

Recently, my wife and I were looking for a stroller for our baby. We found an ad for one manufactured in Germany at a good price.

We went to the house of the woman who advertised to see the goods. The apartment was quite luxurious, and we immediately noticed that, in the hallway, there were 3 prams. At first, she had a child, and the strollers were for different purposes: one for walking in parks, another for taking in the car, and the third for going around the house. We found that a little strange.

We looked at the cart we liked and it looked pretty worn out. All the wheels broken, parts were loose and the seam mended. She certainly “prepared” the cart for the photos, which did not match reality. It must even have been corrected in photoshop.

We don’t buy it, of course. Once we got home, we went to the woman’s profile and saw that there were 3 strollers for sale and 10 were already sold. © Bolshoi200 / pikabu

After returning from work early, my friend found the woman in the kitchen with another man. They were smoking and drinking coffee. So far so good, but then he saw that they were both naked.

He looked at the two of them and left the apartment. He came back an hour later and started packing his things. The apartment was rented and very beautiful. First the woman sat in silence, and after the kitchen she said this: “Aren’t you going to say anything? Where are you going? Are you a man or not?” He packed his bags, called a friend and moved in with him for a while.

Three days of silence, and then the woman called. He answered the phone and heard a rather dissatisfied voice: “Are you going to be there long? Why did you make a storm out of a molehill over that? This is not the 18th century. This is how people live now. But that’s okay, if you don’t like it, you should have let me know. I cannot afford to pay for this apartment. You can keep living at your friend’s house, but at least send them the rent money. We are also out of toilet paper. And I’m not used to riding the bus, so either buy me a car or take me places. Let’s stop throwing tantrums like a girl.” © shiftalt / pikabu

I was traveling with my children, ages 5-6, on an intercity bus. They were seated together, and I sat in the same row on the other side. One detail: my place was by the window. I figured I could swap places with the person next to me without a problem (to be closer to my kids). Beside me, however, sits a rather overweight woman. It barely fits in the chair and the more I moved, the more “mine” space it took up (no straps between the seats).

I didn’t say anything, as I didn’t want to have any conflict in public. I didn’t even ask her to change places. The kids had food and drinks in their backpacks, they were playing games on their phones, so there was nothing to worry about. Of course, I had to get up at certain times—crying, complaining, sighing. Nothing new when you have kids.

After 3 hours, the bus made a stop and I understood the whole situation. In front of us, this woman’s daughter and grandson were sitting, and the other seats in the row were empty, and one of them was hers. That is, this woman decided to sit next to me to give double space (on each side of the bus) for her daughter and her grandson.

It was the first time something like this had happened to me on such trips. © pd351027 / pikabu

We moved into this apartment a week ago and haven’t had time to get to know anyone. It was Saturday morning, even before 9 am. I wake up calmly, go have my coffee and “ding-dong” at the door. I open. On the other side is a bald man standing in a T-shirt.

“Do you have a screwdriver?”

No “hi, nice to meet you”, nothing.

– Yes, I have.

– OK thanks.

At this point I start to get confused, and I say:

“First of all, good morning. Second, what the hell do you want me to do?

“Well, I need to fix my wardrobe.

“Fix it.

“Give me the key.”

“Why the hell are you asking me this?

“Wow, is it really that hard for you?”

– Goodbye.

I locked the door. Good Morning. © AlexAlpha / pikabu

In all hospitals and medical clinics here, you have to put some plastic “bags” covering the shoes so as not to contaminate the place. In some places you have to pay for them. At one time, I had to go to a certain hospital for tests for a few days. Every day, I saw an old lady at the entrance selling these sneakers for shoes. She sold them at a lower price than at the hospital. After I needed to do certain blood tests, I discovered that the “bags” were given free of charge to people who needed to undergo laboratory procedures on medical advice (only if it was necessary to enter the laboratory). One fine day, I was waiting to take the exam and I saw this lady inside the laboratory taking several of these sneakers directly from the box. In that, a nurse shouts in a loud voice that if she saw the woman there again, she would call the police. She ran away. That’s because she stole the free bags to sell them at the entrance.

On the way out of the hospital, I stopped and asked: “You’re not ashamed of doing this, are you?”

She mumbled a few words and replied: “Shame must be felt by those who sit at home and do nothing. I am developing my own business”. What an entrepreneur! © Pofinik / pikabu

I put children’s items for sale online, several different ones. Calls an interested person and says, “Oh, I need everything! You know, I have three kids and I don’t have any money. My first husband was an idiot, and the second and third, never mind…”

In the end, we decided to have the woman come and look at the items. She arrived in a nice Nissan and asked for a 90% discount. I was shocked. I said that for some things I could even offer a discount, but not for shoes. They were practically brand new and I was already offering a price twice as cheap as in the store. In this, she says:

“But I really need it!” You do not understand?! Three children!

“I also have three children.

She was silent and tried everything again. The youngest child starts whimpering, “I want to eat now, Mommy!” And the woman asks me:

“Do you know how to make soup?”

“Ah… Yes.

“Perhaps you could feed my children lunch then, since you’re being stingy with your shoes.

From that moment on, I stopped being respectful and nice. © Baby2013 / pikabu

I work as a doctor in a polyclinic and in the emergency department of a regional hospital. I rent an apartment near the clinic in a building where 90% of the residents are elderly. Neighbors know very well who I am and therefore don’t hesitate to ring my apartment bell. Even late at night. Even at dawn.

We try to resist in different ways. Sometimes we wouldn’t open the door — my husband would say that I wasn’t home or that I wasn’t a doctor, just an ordinary person who wanted to rest. Nothing worked: “Little daughter, check my blood pressure”, “Madam, my grandson has a fever, take a look” and so on. The trigger was when the bell rang at 3 am to find out if I had a medicine for high blood pressure.

So we had to resort…
