Erika (00:01):
Hello. This is Erika.

Edgar (00:03):
Edgar.

Darielys (00:04):
And Dave.

Erika (00:05):
And we are the Yapping Snouchers. We entertain you with
the worthy stories we findaround the web. The theme of
this episode is packages,surprises, and other interesting
stories. So the first one is,would I be the asshole for
opening an ex neighbor's packageafter almost a year of them not
coming to retrieve it?

(00:26):
Long time reader, first timeposter. So I, 33 male, have been
living with my husband, 35 male,in one of the 4 court your
houses for 5 years. We love ithere and have amazing neighbors.
Now to my question. Context.
1 of the houses, for somestrange reason, there are no

(00:46):
interior or exterior problems,and rent is actually reasonable.
Cannot hold a ton of it. We had4 in the last year with the last
one staying the longest. Thefirst neighbor who moved them
back in January had a very toxicrelationship and it would spill
out in the yard. Cops werecalled and she eventually moved

(01:06):
back to the East Coast with herparents.
Lovely gal. And we tried to besupportive neighbors. We were so
glad when she snapped out of itand did the toxicity in her
life. Well, a random Amazonpackage showed up in our
doorstep addressed to her. Thiswas normal as her addresses are
hard to see.
Property management has laggedfor years to rectify the issue.

(01:30):
We didn't quite know what to do.So first, we contacted the
property manager to see if theyhad contacted her. They called,
but it was clear she had changedher number for good reason, and
emails were returned to sender.The husband then says, let's
contact Amazon.
They were zero help, which wasnot their fault because she had

(01:50):
deleted her account. And, ofcourse, her email and number
were changed. We asked if youcould drop it off at Amazon to
return, like Kohl's, WholeFoods. They said that because we
have no receipt or any of herinformation, there was no point.
We were at the dead end.
Cut to the present day. Thepackage is still sitting in the
nook. We left it unopened. Wehaven't felt right opening it.

(02:14):
For some reason, I'm scaredkarma will get me.
I know. Irrational fear. But theway this country is going,
anything can happen. My husbandis feeling the same way. Oh,
what ifs keeps popping in myheads, and we feel absolutely
silly to be anxious about anuncleaned package.
Yeah. Here we are. So would I bethe asshole to finally open the

(02:37):
package? My curiosity has meyearning to know what's in it.
So would he be the asshole?

Edgar (02:45):
Okay. So being curious about opening it, I don't think
that's, like, grounds to beingan asshole. But, yeah. I mean,
it's been a while. I think doeshe know where the the old
neighbor, lives now?
Maybe he can, like, contactthem.

Erika (02:58):
Right. And then they can mail them.

Darielys (02:59):
They mail the package to them directly.

Edgar (03:02):
I remember because I got I did something similar when I,
like, bought a ticket for, like,a concert, like, a few years
back. I just, like, contactedthe person who, like, the ticket
belonged to me. Like, hey. Yourticket's here. What do you want
me to do?
And then they said, oh, thankyou. I'll just handle it on
their end. So I think, yeah, Ithink that's, like, the safest
thing to do is just, like, justcontact them.

Erika (03:21):
They tried. I literally half of the story was about them
contacting the person. I know. Iknow. So they did try.
Mhmm. But everything is thathow? Well, she

Darielys (03:33):
was looking at change her number Yeah.

Erika (03:35):
Literally changed her address. Like, it was deleted
account. There was no way theycould return the package. So
that I I mean she

Darielys (03:42):
did it for a reason. Yeah. The toxic relationship and
everything so it makes sense.But shouldn't I mean if I were
her and I remembered that Iordered something I would be
like where's my package?

Edgar (03:54):
Exactly.

Darielys (03:54):
You know what I mean? I'd be like, oh my god. It's
still, like, probably in my old,like, where I live, where I
where I used to live orsomething. Like, I'd be worried.
Like, where's my package?
Like, I don't know. She probablyforgot about it and, you know,
but

Edgar (04:06):
I hope it's something that's I

Darielys (04:07):
mean, if it's there for a long time, I'd be curious

Erika (04:09):
about it. You said a year. Right?

Darielys (04:11):
I I would probably open it. Yeah. I'm like, what's
this? If it's like if it'ssomething really important,
I'll, like, keep trying. But ifit's like something, I don't
know.
I wouldn't.

Erika (04:21):
I don't know. So there is an update It says, hubby's got
home, and I showed him the postand the subsequent comments. We
had a good chuckle. He hadchanged. We tore right to the
package.
We checked the Amazon policy. Wewere relieved to find 90 day
wait period before it becomesours to do with as we please. We

(04:42):
are well past the that few. Wemade a bet on what it was in the
box, and I'll be honest. We wentpretty dark in our guesses.
Both were completely wrong,which just showed me we are
heathens. To our surprise, itwas a ring bell with 2
additional mini camps. Funnyenough, we've been waiting to

(05:02):
get one. Our house is off abusier street. We're down we're
near downtown, but not in it.
We get people both homeless andnot walking by if we have
situations with invasivebehavior. Hobbies, YouTube, and
advice on the best angles whileI read and reread the
instructions, making sure I putit right. Honestly, it's kinda

(05:24):
ironic. She purchased thecontraption then left shortly
after, but at least we gotsomething out of it. Right?
So, yeah, that's what it was.

Edgar (05:32):
What?

Erika (05:32):
I mean, it

Darielys (05:33):
was something good. The camera, it was a

Erika (05:34):
The Ring Bell and the Oh, yeah. Mini cam. Mhmm.

Darielys (05:38):
Oh. That's a that's pretty good, though. Yeah.

Erika (05:41):
That's so good. That's pretty expensive too, remember?
Yeah. I don't know. We have onetoo.
A Ring camera in the front.Mhmm. Okay. So yeah. So I I
mean, I guess they got get tokeep it because of the 90 day
return policy.
So yeah. Yeah.

Edgar (05:59):
The next story is titled, am I the asshole for getting my
roommate to hook up with my exto get my favorite coffee mug
back? I cut off coffee mugsshaped as cool things. Anyways,
I dated a guy for a year thatbrought me back this mug from
the states shaped as a shark.Handle was a fin. Semi expensive
mug.
I looked into buying anotherone. I love sharks more than

(06:21):
anything, so this was theperfect gift. This mug was so
perfect that I would never useit for coffee because coffee
wasn't worthy of this mug. Whenwe broke up, despite my love for
the shark mug, I put it in thebox of stuff you give back to
your ex thinking it would bringback too many memories. Now a
year later, I'm happily withsomeone else and these memories

(06:43):
are no longer.
I basically just want myfavorite mug back. My roommate
who is newly single is onTinder, happened to match with
my ex. I explained the mug storyand now we've made it a mission
for her to go over there, hookup with him, and take the mug in
the morning. To be fair, he'sonly looking for the hookup as
he has stated in his profile, sono emotional sabotage. So edit,

(07:08):
to be fair, she was alreadyplanning on hooking up with him
anyways.
I just told her to comment onthe mug if she saw it to be
funny. She said she would justget it back.

Erika (07:19):
Verdict booty. Okay.

Edgar (07:22):
Update. I know you all desperately want this edit. No.
He's invited her over to checkout his new place when he's done
moving with her wink at the end,of course. So progress, unpack
kitchen essentials and showanyone.
Emergency update. The ex in myroommate is still talking, but
now my ex's roommate has alsomatched with her on Tinder, and

(07:42):
it's asking her to come over.Same house. This plot just says
real. Update, operation sharkrescue is currently to go.
Wish you luck, Reddit. Helloagain, Reddit, and thank you for
coming with me on this operationshark mug. I am pleased to talk
to you all on this fineThursday. This is what has
happened. The roommate did infact sleep with the ex.

(08:04):
The roommate did in fact see themug. She also did not take it
back. Everything that happenedand that was gonna happen
happened. I thought all was lostin Operation Shock Mug. My dream
crushed to say the least.
Game over. But then I recentlywas in a wedding, which the ex
attended as a close friend. Himand I made conversation about

(08:27):
the roommate about the mug, andeventually I came clean about
the plan. He told me that it wasa hilarious plan, but that he
had to be honest with me. Theshark mug you see was too
important to use as well.
So the fate of the shark mug isit's now his toothbrush holder.
He sent me picture evidencelater that evening, and I told
him I deserve it for the plan Ihatched. End of the day, it was

(08:50):
a good luck for all in the end.

Darielys (08:54):
What? There was just so much. There was, like, so
many edits and updates andthroughout the whole thing.

Edgar (09:03):
Yeah. Hopefully, you

Darielys (09:04):
can of a shark mug.

Edgar (09:07):
Yeah. Hopefully, you can learn how to spell.

Darielys (09:09):
I would've left the shark mug. Since he did. Yeah.
She can just get another one.Making a plan to hook up with
him is actually insane over amug.

Edgar (09:16):
I know. Yeah. I mean, the family just started talking. The
roommate in the ex.

Erika (09:21):
No. Well, they they matched in Tinder. So it was
they were gonna hang outanyways.

Darielys (09:27):
Mhmm. That's so funny to me. In In the morning, she's
gonna wake up be, like, lookingthrough all his, like, drawers
to see if if there's a sharkcup. And then she's just gonna
leave with the cup. Like, Idon't

Erika (09:38):
That's so weird. Like, what do you say? The bag? In
your bag is yeah.

Darielys (09:43):
Who knows how big it is?

Erika (09:45):
I I know. Usually, mugs are pretty big.

Darielys (09:46):
Yeah. In a chart? It probably has, like, a tail and
everything.

Erika (09:49):
Yeah. So the the fin was the handle? Yeah. That's kinda
cool, though. It sounds prettycool.
Yeah. But now it's a toothbrushholder.

Darielys (09:59):
But that was very, like I think she went too much.
Like, she went, like I don'tknow how to explain it. Like

Erika (10:05):
And then she told them what happened. And Yeah. Yeah.

Edgar (10:08):
I was like

Darielys (10:09):
And then how she said at the end of the day, it was a
good laugh for all. Girl, what?So she went through all that
just to laugh at the end?

Erika (10:17):
She didn't even get the coffee. I don't even you love
that. Girl, I cannot. At leastit was entertaining, kinda.

Edgar (10:26):
Was it?

Erika (10:27):
For you, it wasn't. And then

Edgar (10:29):
I don't know. I've maybe because the, edits were, like,
so miniscule.

Darielys (10:32):
Emergency update. Yeah. Oh my god. I feel like
that whole thing should havebeen, like, an edit. Like, all
that should have been, like,yeah.

Edgar (10:42):
Yeah. Because he was basically, like, every few hours
they'd post the edit, I guess.

Darielys (10:45):
I don't know.

Edgar (10:46):
Like, you know, we we need just the big ideas or the
big, like, events that happen,not just like, oh, this is gonna
happen. This will happen soon.At least This

Darielys (10:55):
is happening. Yeah.

Erika (10:56):
A little bit. Mhmm. Alright. So next story is a
mother asked for cleaning outthe fridge without telling my
husband. What's t h mean?
Daughter? No. T h d h. Husband?Something husband.

Edgar (11:12):
Dear husband.

Darielys (11:13):
Dear husband. Yeah.

Edgar (11:14):
That's so stupid. That's so

Darielys (11:16):
yeah.

Erika (11:16):
No. Yeah. No. I was gonna say husband.

Edgar (11:18):
Yeah. My dear husband. Stupid.

Darielys (11:20):
My dear husband.

Edgar (11:23):
Your dear ex husband.

Erika (11:25):
Please. Yeah. You wouldn't call it dear, though.
Okay. My husband.
I was about to say it.

Darielys (11:33):
There's so many d h everywhere. I know.

Erika (11:37):
Okay. My husband brought home a metal box that he checks
on often during the day, what'sin when it's in the fridge. When
asked about it, he said itcontained freshly picked olives
his friends, Jason, got from hisuncle's farm and wanted husband
to keep it till he gets backfrom his business trip. I had no

(11:59):
problem with him keeping it safeat the bottom of the fridge. My
husband always asked me to becautious with the box and not
open it as it'd be rude to touchother people's stuff.
Yesterday, I decided to cleanout the fridge, which took me
about 2 hours of unplugging thefridge, emptying all items,
groceries, vegetables,containers, and washing and

(12:20):
cleaning out the inside of itand letting it settle before
plugging it in in again. I tookthe box my husband brought out
out the fridge and placed it onthe kitchen island along other
containers. While I was working,I received a video call via
WhatsApp from my husband whileat work feeling bored asking
what I was doing. I showed him Iwas cleaning out the fridge and

(12:41):
he suddenly freaked out andasked me about the metal box. I
was confused and told him tocalm down.
I showed him where the box was.He got mad telling me heesh, I
shouldn't have cleaned out thefridge nor even touched the box
without telling him. I againtried to ask him to calm down
and as I saw no big deal withthat. His precious box was safe

(13:02):
and sound, but he went on anrant about how the box needed to
be put in back in the fridgeASAP and told me to plug the
fridge in right then. But Icouldn't because it was wet, and
I still wasn't finished washing,cleaning other parts.
Apparently, I pissed him off bystalling, and he hung up. And 30
minutes later, he came home andpitched a hissy fit, saying I

(13:24):
should have picked a time wherehe was at home to clean out the
fridge so he could take the boxsomewhere else to keep it cool.
I said, so what? It was sittingout the fridge for barely 2
hours, and the olives can standbeing outside of the fridge for
a longer period. He said, Idon't get it.
He took the box and wanted toleave with it. As for where he

(13:45):
was taking it, he said he neededto go back to work and had no
time to explain. I shrugged thiswhole thing off, but he came
back with the in the evening andput it inside the fridge, then
complained about cleaning thefridge without telling him and
acting dismissive of myopinions. I argued that opinions
could he have on cleaning outthe fridge. He argued back

(14:05):
saying he promised Jason he keephis olives in a good condition
and that I should have toldthem.
End of story. I wonder if Imessed up. He usually doesn't
get mad on unless I've messedup. I think I have. And, yes,
there's an edit.
And I'm aware that my husband isacting overprotective of this
box, but he's always asked likethat whenever someone asks us to

(14:27):
keep an item safe for them, likefurniture or car parts. And
second of all, no. I haven'tseen those olives myself and
haven't opened the box because Ididn't think I had to. But my
husband tends to beoverprotective of his friend's
belongings, so I don't thinkmuch of it. And, yes, I

(14:48):
unplugged the fridge beforecleaning out since I did have
heavy cleaning.
You can see that it's commonmethod. Just Google. And to give
some info, the metal box doeslook like a container of some
sort. My husband calls it a box,so I don't think it's much
different. I don't

Darielys (15:06):
I don't think there was olives in that box. I think
it was something else because Idon't think somebody would freak
out over olives.

Edgar (15:14):
Mm-mm.

Darielys (15:14):
And that's funny because not a lot of people like
olives. I'm just not seeing. Iwouldn't like, I feel like if
they didn't like it, we likethis I don't care about them,
but, like, olives do lastoutside for, like, a long time.
Yeah.

Edgar (15:27):
You know?

Darielys (15:27):
Yeah. So Well, if they're closed, they last. But,
like, if you open them, you haveto put them in the fridge. Wait.

Erika (15:34):
Do you put olives in a martini? In a what?

Edgar (15:36):
Martini?

Darielys (15:37):
Yeah. Oh, martini? I don't

Erika (15:39):
know, girl. I forget. How am

Darielys (15:42):
I supposed to do it?

Edgar (15:43):
Because I think of olives. I think of, like, pizza
or, like, sandwiches.

Darielys (15:47):
I think of, like, the green ones.

Edgar (15:49):
Well, like, what you put on it?

Darielys (15:51):
Like, rice.

Edgar (15:52):
Oh. You put it in rice? Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yes.

Erika (15:54):
Puerto Rican rice.

Darielys (15:55):
I put it on, like, so many

Edgar (15:57):
So you

Erika (15:57):
eat it?

Edgar (15:57):
So good.

Darielys (15:58):
Yes. I love olives. Okay.

Edgar (15:59):
I'll give you my olives then.

Darielys (16:00):
I love them. But it has to be, like, goja because
sometimes, like, you know thebig yeah. The big olives? The
they sound like it's like weirdbrand. Yeah.
They're like, ugh. I don't know.They don't taste the same.
They're like it has to be likethe goya one, but it have like
the little pepper inside. Oh,those taste so good.
Oh my god. I can eat like thewhole thing by itself.

Erika (16:23):
Yeah. So apparently you do put olives in a Bertini. Do
you use Spanish queen olives orSpanish manzanilla olives for
the best ones in the market?Probably the one, the one with
the red one. Red things inthere?

Darielys (16:36):
Yeah. Yeah. Those are so good.

Edgar (16:38):
That sounds gross. What?

Darielys (16:39):
It's so good.

Erika (16:40):
I never tried a martini before. I love you.

Darielys (16:42):
I wanna try one.

Edgar (16:43):
You could try it.

Darielys (16:44):
I think you might like it. I think I would like it.
Yeah.

Edgar (16:47):
I'm not gonna try it.

Darielys (16:48):
We gotta try it. Maybe. You could just try to
drink and then right.

Edgar (16:55):
No. But, like, the olives touch the drink, so it's
contaminated.

Darielys (16:58):
I mean, we could try it, and then you guys could just
give me the olive. I saw it. Itwas, like, 3 in the steak.

Erika (17:07):
Yeah. It looks I mean, it looks really nice, like,
aesthetically pleasing, but

Darielys (17:11):
Did you take pictures? Yeah. It looks but, like, it's,
like, clear. The drink is clear.That's kinda weird.
Yeah. It's like water with witholives in it. But, yeah, the
husband, I feel like heoverreacted. I don't think it
was that deep. That pissed meoff.

(17:32):
What he said what did he say?In, like, in the beginning,
freshly picked olives. What?

Edgar (17:41):
I know.

Darielys (17:41):
Where's his friend Jason? Oh my god. I

Erika (17:45):
mean, I Jason.

Darielys (17:48):
Why can't he keep them in his fridge?

Erika (17:50):
I know. What's

Darielys (17:51):
You know what I mean? Yeah. That's why I don't think
it was olives. I think it waslike something suspicious. I
would've opened the box.
I was like, why are you hiding?

Erika (17:58):
I wonder if the husband opened the box.

Darielys (18:00):
Oh my god.

Erika (18:01):
Because he's protecting. I think it's olive. And what if
he, you know, he didn't open it?So

Darielys (18:06):
What if it's like something like I don't know.
What if it's like I think it'slike deeper. There's something
like deeper.

Edgar (18:11):
I know. It's definitely not olive. It's just like 2
superstitious.

Darielys (18:14):
And he has something there, like some, like, evidence
of aloe. I don't know.

Edgar (18:17):
I don't know.

Darielys (18:17):
A finger. You know what I mean? It's probably
something, like, weird likethat. Because, like, olives, you
don't freak out over olives. Youfreak out over, like, some
evidence that you're hiding inthe fridge, and it has to be,
like, cool all the time.
Dude, that's definitely, like, afinger. No. Smit. Or, like, an I
r o e or something. It'ssomething.
Because of what you mean, it hasto be cold.

Erika (18:37):
Yeah. So the top comment is, am I the only viewer
thinking there's some type ofdrug in this box? Your husband
is acting very strange aboutleaked olives. You're not the
asshole, but your husband sureis. Thanks for and yeah.
So that's pretty much everybodyliked that comment. Mhmm. Yeah.
So I thought that wasinteresting. Yeah.

(18:58):
We don't know where it is,though.

Edgar (18:59):
And we're never well.

Darielys (19:01):
Yeah. She needs to make, like, a little update,
like

Edgar (19:05):
And it's what it is.

Darielys (19:06):
If she ever, like, found out

Erika (19:07):
I don't think she did. She she was she said that she
wasn't interested in finding outwhere it was.

Darielys (19:10):
I would have been interested.

Erika (19:11):
Me too. I would open it right away.

Darielys (19:13):
Give me the especially when he's not there, if he's at
work, girl, open the locks. Iwould open the locks.

Erika (19:20):
I would like yeah. Definitely.

Edgar (19:22):
This is, like, the kind of story where I want to update.
Not, like, about someone's mug.

Darielys (19:27):
The shark look.

Edgar (19:28):
Like, no one

Darielys (19:29):
had ended up being a toothbrush holder. That's what.

Erika (19:34):
No. RB.

Darielys (19:35):
I thought it was, like, gonna break or something.
I don't know.

Edgar (19:38):
Mhmm. Yeah. Final verdict?

Erika (19:40):
That's asshole.

Edgar (19:41):
Yeah. I hope he isn't. But,

Darielys (19:43):
The husband's that. That's the booty.

Edgar (19:46):
I'm reasonably suspicious. Yes. But, yeah. So
the next story is titled, am Ithe asshole for refusing to take
my friend's package with meinternationally without opening
and checking it first. I willsoon be flying to the other side
of the world, and my friend asksme to take a package with me and
deliver it to her friend wholives in the country I am flying

(20:06):
to.
Now I trust my friend with mylife, but I told her that since
it's an international flight andI'm taking unneeded risk as
otherwise, I would appreciate ifI could open a package with her
present and look for it just tomake sure it's there's nothing
undesirable in it. My friendimmediately gets offended and

(20:27):
even starts yelling at me,telling me how she can't believe
that I don't trust her and thatI am invading her privacy. She
told me I'm being selfish andparanoid and that she won't let
me see inside the packagebecause it has sensitive
content. That ended up freakingme out more, so I told her that
I can't do it if I can't makesure it's safe and that I'm

(20:47):
sorry. She started to cry andleft the room.
She later left a text saying I'mselfish and that she doesn't
wanna talk to me anymore. WhileI do feel bad, I have heard all
kinds of stories, and I don'twanna be put into a position
where I'm responsible forwhatever sensitive content is in
our package. Reddit, am I theasshole? And

Erika (21:10):
Yeah. I don't think she's an asshole. I think it's a good
thing that she's being cautiousbecause you just never know. I
don't care if you know thisperson for years. Like, no.

Darielys (21:21):
It's just going internationally too. Sensitive
content is kinda suspicious.

Erika (21:26):
Yeah. Like, if it's so sensitive, do you gotta let me
know what it is? Because Yeah.

Edgar (21:30):
Yeah. What if, like, I throw it against the wall?

Darielys (21:32):
What no. Okay, dude. What if it, like, stop her and
then it's, like, something,like, drop off the in there.

Edgar (21:37):
Yeah. You know

Darielys (21:38):
what I mean?

Erika (21:38):
And then you're, like, I don't know.

Edgar (21:39):
My friend told me it was sensitive content.

Erika (21:42):
It sounds even more suspicious. Like, why you

Darielys (21:44):
Yeah. They're not gonna believe it's her friend.
They're gonna think it's her ownpackage. Yeah. And then she's
the one one that's gonna get introuble.

Edgar (21:51):
This is how people get, like, trafficked.

Darielys (21:52):
Yeah. What if it was, like, a setup? Oh my gosh.

Edgar (21:56):
It sounds like some sort of setup where, like, I don't
know. It's like

Erika (21:58):
Do not open it. Dude.

Edgar (22:01):
That's one of the reason why I feel like just to have,
like, someone else be a happymoment.

Darielys (22:04):
At least say what it is or something. I don't know.

Edgar (22:06):
I don't.

Erika (22:07):
Yeah. And then, I mean, how much does she know her
friend or trust her friend thatshe's if she's willing to even
yeah. I guess she doesn't trusther friend that much to not
wanna do that.

Edgar (22:16):
I wouldn't.

Erika (22:16):
Yeah.

Edgar (22:17):
I wouldn't even if I if someone I did trust.

Erika (22:19):
Yeah. I mean, Alice, you don't let me see what's inside.
We're not bringing this packagewith me.

Darielys (22:24):
How big was it?

Erika (22:25):
I'm not sure even well, there is an edit.

Edgar (22:27):
Okay.

Erika (22:28):
It says, I trust my friend a lot, but I should
mention that my friend is knownto cultivate weed and then store
them in spice jars. I could havesworn her noises in the glass of
glass in the package, and shehas joked before that she could
smuggle weed disguised as spiceor herb or something that they
wouldn't know a thing. I dotrust her, but I just wanna have

(22:48):
a peace of mind. I'm sad she'soffended, but I just wish she
could understand my point ofview. More reason not to be
Exactly.
Yeah.

Edgar (22:57):
If she's known if she's, like, a known, like, drug, like,
gardener or whatever they callit.

Darielys (23:01):
Weed. Yeah. No. Gardener.

Edgar (23:05):
What what do you call it when you, like, go go weed in
your backyard?

Darielys (23:08):
I don't know. Weeder. A weeder. You're a weeder? I
don't know.

Erika (23:12):
I have no idea.

Darielys (23:13):
But, like

Edgar (23:13):
But yeah. I mean No. That's already too sus. Like,
she's probably, like, in itlike, the friend is probably
getting a lot of money for this,but she wants, like Yeah. She
doesn't wanna be involved in,like Yeah.
The transportation of it, andshe's willing to throw her
friend under the bus.

Darielys (23:27):
There's definitely weed in that package. Yeah. How
about it? Percent. Probably,like, tons of it or at least,
like

Edgar (23:33):
She's about to get her friend sent sent them to life in
prison for

Darielys (23:36):
a whole

Edgar (23:37):
Yeah. A 100, like, pounds of weed.

Erika (23:40):
So I googled and it said it's called Cultivators. Cult?
Cultivator? Yep. The people thatgrow weed.

Edgar (23:48):
I'm gonna call them weeders.

Darielys (23:49):
No. It's a weeder. People that grow weeder. That's
what it's called. Weeder.

Erika (23:58):
So there is another edit. That's okay. And it says, my
friend hasn't spoken to me sincethe incident and has had a
message delivered to me viamutual friend saying the only
way she'll talk to me is if Itake this package from her.
Trust in our friendship.However, I heard from my friend
that the person that wassupposed to deliver the package

(24:20):
has a reputation involvingdrugs.
And while we didn't get intodetail, my friend said not not
not for using them. I don't wantto accuse anyone or anything.
Rumors fly and innocent untilproven guilty. But I definitely
not taking that package anymoreunless I get a pretty good look
at it. Okay.
Yeah. I mean, I don't even know.

Edgar (24:42):
That's definitely, like confirms. Yeah. Yeah. I can't
believe she's, like, trying to,like, throw her on the bus for
for, I don't know, how muchmoney she's gonna get from that.
And it's just the entiresituation is, like, code sketch.

Erika (24:53):
Yeah. And then this was kinda funny because I saw it
says, I saw a comment asking meif I know Jason who stores
olives in his fridge. Stop. Wasthat

Darielys (25:05):
a story from before?

Erika (25:06):
Yes. It says, sorry for your plan, mate. Funny enough,
her boyfriend's name is Jason.Fun fact, to enhance this story,
he loves a show called BreakingBad so bad that he legally gave
himself the middle name Walter.Please.
But sadly, I do not know if hekeep their olives in
refrigerators.

Darielys (25:22):
It's weed and the olives. Weed, olives.

Edgar (25:26):
Ching, crossover, machete stories.

Darielys (25:29):
That's insane.

Erika (25:31):
I think they do know each other.

Darielys (25:32):
That's actually kinda crazy that, like, her
boyfriend's name is, like, alsoJason. Oh my god. Connect the
dots.

Erika (25:38):
Alright. That's I did that on purpose, guys. Alright.
So next story. Oh, wait.
What's the verdict? Yeah.

Darielys (25:46):
Oh, not that.

Erika (25:49):
Not that. No. Because

Edgar (25:50):
the frenzy.

Darielys (25:51):
She did it for her, like, her own safety, I guess.
Yeah. It's like She's literallygone to jail.

Erika (25:55):
Yeah. I'm suffering Yeah. Hurting there.

Edgar (25:58):
Yeah.

Darielys (25:58):
I'm sorry. I'm not going to jail for a friend. No.
What are you doing? Why are youdoing stupid things?

Edgar (26:03):
Obviously doesn't, like, respect us.

Darielys (26:05):
Like, tell somebody else to do it.

Edgar (26:06):
Like Mhmm.

Darielys (26:07):
Hire somebody else to

Erika (26:08):
do it.

Darielys (26:08):
Yeah. Exactly.

Erika (26:09):
If you wanna take risk, do

Darielys (26:11):
it yourself. Hire people to do that. My own
friends. What's wrong with you?

Erika (26:14):
I love you.

Darielys (26:16):
My friend Be smarter. Come on, girly.

Edgar (26:20):
Shake my head. Alright. Yeah. The next story is titled,
am I the asshole for telling mynew neighbor that I've been
trapped in a basement for a weekafter she told me not to check
my mailbox on weekends. I'vebeen away since Thursday, house
sitting for my mom, and it'scurrently Sunday afternoon where
I live.
Here, mail doesn't deliver onweekends. They only do that

(26:42):
Monday to Friday, which means Ihad 2 days worth of mail in my
mailbox. My 30 something yearold neighbors moved in on Friday
when I wasn't there, and she wasin her front yard when I was
collecting my mail. She goes,don't check your mailbox on
weekends. They don't deliver onweekends, so don't check it in a
rude, caring voice.

(27:02):
If you know, then you know. Ialready already I know we're not
going to have a good neighborrelationship, and I'm hungover
and can't be bothered dealingwith her shiz. So I said, I know
it's just I've been kidnapped inthe basement for weeks, so I had
to check the mail box. I don'thave a basement. Barely anyone

(27:22):
does in my country.
She seemed shocked, but it wasobviously a joke with my overly
sarcastic tone. Then we bothwent inside and that was that.
About 25 minutes later, thepolice knocked on the door
thinking I was held captive inmy basement, which I don't have.
So I explained to them what Ihad, and they just laughed and

(27:43):
laughed. Just before, I wasputting rubbish in the bin, and
she came out and called me a, anan a mean word for making her
think I was kidnapped.
Am I the asshole?

Darielys (27:58):
What?

Edgar (28:00):
Not really. I think, obviously, it was a joke, and
the other lady the otherneighbor is just, like, is not
in on the joke and has no humor.

Erika (28:08):
Zero humor. Zero humor. Like, how you not hear the
sarcasm her her boys?

Edgar (28:14):
Mhmm.

Darielys (28:14):
Chiz humor. She's in crackers.

Erika (28:22):
I can't. Yeah. Oh, and she's also from Australia. So I
guess Australians don't have alot of, basements.

Edgar (28:29):
Spiders. Because you gotta worry about spiders. Oh,
stop. My wife Oh, no. Wipeburied to the ground deeper to
and closer to, like, nest.

Erika (28:36):
Oh, stop. No. I get itching. There we go.

Darielys (28:38):
That should be your birthday present. No. And trip
to Australia. I

Erika (28:43):
would never go

Darielys (28:46):
there. Middle of nowhere, and then you wake up
and you go outside, please. Yougo outside and then the first
thing you see is a kangaroo juststanding outside your phone.

Erika (28:57):
I was fine.

Darielys (28:58):
Girl, they're gonna kick you in your face.

Erika (29:00):
As long as I don't do anything to them. It's all about
spiders. I'm gonna see a spider.I will be yelling.

Darielys (29:05):
We're not pee in the middle of the night. I just see
a spider on the wall.

Erika (29:08):
Oh my god. Everybody's gonna be awake. Everybody's
gonna hear me yelling.Everybody's gonna come and
they're gonna know there's aspider.

Darielys (29:17):
Oh my god.

Erika (29:18):
Yeah. I can't. I I think it's beautiful and lovely, but I
I just all those animals, deadlyanimals over there. It's not
very inviting. No.
But her favorite. Definitelynot.

Darielys (29:31):
She loves spiders. Loves them.

Erika (29:34):
I hate them. She has one

Darielys (29:36):
of, like, those, like, glass things in her room. Oh my
god. You know how they do thebutterflies? Oh. It's a spider.

Erika (29:43):
I have one of a butterfly.

Darielys (29:45):
Oh, I was like, a spider? Where is it?

Erika (29:47):
It's right there in my living room.

Darielys (29:49):
Oh yeah. I had to make sure it was there. She has to
turn around. Yeah.

Erika (29:55):
She thought it was clay? Yeah.

Darielys (29:56):
I was like, wait. Where? And I see it like all the
time.

Erika (30:00):
Yeah. Literally. You're sitting in front of

Darielys (30:03):
me. Literally.

Erika (30:05):
Yeah. So I don't think she's an asshole. I think

Darielys (30:08):
it was just a misunderstanding. That was
funny.

Erika (30:12):
At least the obvious a first police officer thought
they were funny too.

Darielys (30:15):
She's so sarcastic. I would have done that too. I am.
No. I was stuck in the basementfor a week.
Oh my god. Like, brush up. Get I

Edgar (30:23):
think yeah. Obviously, the neighbor knew knew what she
was doing when I'm calling thepolice on her. Like, like

Darielys (30:29):
But she's so annoying. Why does she have

Erika (30:30):
to remind that it didn't come in the weekends. It doesn't
girl, why are you judging me? Imean, I was thinking, like, how
the neighbor

Edgar (30:36):
is, like, acting.

Darielys (30:37):
What if it was package? What if it was package?

Erika (30:41):
Well, they don't deliver in weekends. Packages? Yeah.
It's only Monday through Fridayin

Darielys (30:46):
Oh, in there? Yeah. Oh, I

Erika (30:47):
was like So that's why she's, like, oh, there you
shouldn't check your mailbox,especially if you don't check
your mailbox

Edgar (30:52):
on on

Erika (30:53):
the weekend. Oh. But still, if she wants to check it
out on the weekend, she can.Like, why are you telling

Darielys (30:59):
her what to do? Check-in on Friday and she wants
to check-in on Saturday. Yeah.People are so nosy. I hate
people.

Erika (31:04):
They just need to mind their

Darielys (31:05):
own business. I love people, guys. It's just some
people.

Erika (31:09):
Yeah. So the top comment is not that. So some people just
need to mind their business. Whocares when you check your mail?
Also, some people just do notunderstand sarcasm.
At least she cared enough tocall the cops for you, though
good thing they were cool aboutit. I imagine if the cops got
pissed, and they were like, no.We're taking you in for, like,

Darielys (31:30):
going back. Dude, they should have taken the girl the
other girl in.

Erika (31:33):
I know. She called it a fake report. It's like

Darielys (31:36):
you made us drive all the way here.

Erika (31:38):
Everywhere. And

Darielys (31:39):
there's nobody's

Erika (31:40):
name, dude. Yes. Okay. So the next story is Emma the
asshole for filing a few fauxAmazon packages with my dog's
crap to teach the 2 thievingneighborhood kids who have been
stealing my packages a lesson.That was the longest title.

(32:01):
This has been going on for a fewmonths now. Ever since school
let out. There are 2 girls inthe neighborhood who are about 8
and 10. The oldest about 10 and13. I have a video camera
outside our apartment.
We have caught them red handed.The first package they stole
contained puppy pee pads andgarbage bags. 2nd package
contained a pair of scrubs forwork And last week, they got a

(32:23):
Bluetooth speaker. Amazonreplaced all my packages and I
would rather not get the policeinvolved. And their parents are
real piece of work that don'tsupervise their kids.
So I decided to fill a fewpackages with dog crap and leave
them something special to stealto hopefully teach them a
lesson. I also taped notes thatsaid, dear children, stop

(32:47):
stealing my crap. And the boxesalong with the turds, some of
the turds are petrified. Someare juicy and wet. Ew.
And my ass over my diabetic

Darielys (33:03):
or genius. That's disgusting. She's smart for
that.

Edgar (33:06):
And, and I told you

Darielys (33:08):
what Yeah. What is the Let's

Edgar (33:10):
call the police at that point.

Darielys (33:12):
What she

Erika (33:12):
didn't want involved? They're little kids.

Darielys (33:14):
They're grown enough. They're grown.

Edgar (33:16):
I don't know. There's juvie. Juvy. Yeah.

Erika (33:19):
That's sad. I think they're only 9, 8. 8 packages.
Deserve to

Edgar (33:24):
be Juvy.

Darielys (33:24):
Stole 3 packages. If it was only 1, I'll be like,
okay. 3?

Edgar (33:28):
Yeah. They're gonna give you forever.

Erika (33:30):
You will call the cops?

Edgar (33:31):
Yeah. Obviously.

Darielys (33:33):
Edgar will call the cops and be hiding inside.

Erika (33:36):
I'll be like, watch it.

Darielys (33:37):
Dude, I'll be like, he'll do this. Open open the
blind, like, a little bit.

Erika (33:41):
I'm gonna be happy ventilating out of joy.

Edgar (33:45):
I just ruined the kids life.

Erika (33:46):
Don't look at the cameras.

Darielys (33:47):
You call the cops, you gotta go outside.

Edgar (33:50):
I will.

Erika (33:50):
And be like, these kids have been stealing my packages.

Darielys (33:53):
They take my packages.

Erika (33:55):
And the kids are like, no.

Darielys (33:56):
They put, you know,

Erika (33:58):
they put, like How do you know?

Darielys (34:02):
Kids sometimes they, like, like, they say things and
they don't realize. I'm like,girl, like, you literally just
snitched on yourself. Mhmm.That'd be kind of funny. Be
like, no.

Erika (34:11):
That was the other day. What? I know. Oh my god. That's
so funny.
That is hilarious.

Darielys (34:18):
Just keep doing that. But don't forget what package
she put that in because what ifshe literally grabs it, thinking
it's new, and then she opens itand it's like the dogs, you
know, poop. That's been thereforever. Ew. That's so nasty.
I don't

Erika (34:35):
think she's a asshole though for doing that. I think
she's I think

Darielys (34:37):
it's funny. That's so smart. I would've laughed. But I
remember, like, I'm like,because I don't I thought they
opened the packages, like, rightin

Erika (34:45):
her front of her door. No.

Darielys (34:46):
So would it be kinda good to, like, get the reaction
if they did? Oh my god. Thatwould be nice. Yeah.

Erika (34:51):
They recorded reaction

Darielys (34:53):
after opening crap. So probably just, like, throw the
box.

Edgar (34:56):
Ew. Yeah.

Erika (34:58):
Hope they did learn their lesson after

Darielys (35:01):
this.

Edgar (35:01):
Yeah. Hopefully. But, final verdict on Ofe.

Erika (35:05):
Not the asshole.

Darielys (35:06):
Not the booty.

Edgar (35:08):
Yeah. The the kids are, though.

Darielys (35:09):
Yeah.

Edgar (35:10):
So the next story is titled, am I the asshole for
going through my friend's closetto find my wedding dress. 2
years ago, my husband and I weredoing some renovations to our
house. I didn't want my weddingdress to get damaged or lost in
the process, which consideringwe did lose a few things during
the renovation, I was right tobe concerned. My friend offered

(35:32):
to keep it in her closet untilthe renovations were done. After
we finished the renovations, Iasked my friend for the dress
back.
She kept saying she'd get itback to me. I kept asking and
she made up excuses. I found itweird. Now my sister is getting
married and she wanted to wearthat dress. This was our

(35:52):
mother's dress and we alwaysagreed we'd we'd each wear it.
I told my friend I needed itback. She claimed she couldn't
find it. I was perplexed becausehow does it just get up and walk
away? She apologized and offeredto pay me the cost of the dress,
which I turned down because itwasn't about the money. The
dress was sentimental, and Ifelt terrible my sister couldn't

(36:13):
wear it.
My friend and her husband wentaway. I was there to water their
plants and feed their dogs. Idecided to go look myself. I
think technically that'sillegal, but yet. The closet was
very cluttered.
I eventually found the dress. Ican totally believe that she
missed where it was and shewasn't being malicious in the

(36:34):
slightest. The box was tuckedbehind a few larger ones
containing seasonal clothes. Itexted her saying I found the
dress. Instead of being happyfor me, she asked why I rummage
for her closet.
I said I just wanted to doublecheck. She told me I had no
right to go for her things. Isaid that because of her
clutter, my sister almost didn'tget to wear a dress she always

(36:56):
dreamed of. My friend told methat I could have asked her to
look again, but I pointed out ittook 2 years for her to even
look in the first place. Am Ithe asshole?
I think yeah. Like, legally,she's in the wrong end. I think
she's, like, a little bit ofasshole going through her
friend's house because no wayshe thinks she's going through a
closet. She went throughprobably, like, a few rooms at

(37:17):
least. So I think it that's,like, kind of, like, asshole
territory on my end.

Erika (37:22):
Honestly, she should have not said anything. She shoulda
just

Edgar (37:25):
Took it. Checked.

Erika (37:26):
Took it.

Edgar (37:27):
I mean, also yeah. There's also a very high chance,
I think, that the friend

Erika (37:31):
Wanted to keep it?

Edgar (37:31):
Wanted to keep it. Yeah. And, like, hoping that she would
forget. Yeah.

Erika (37:35):
Like, how can you that's that's not right.

Darielys (37:37):
It would have been obvious, though, because, like,
what if she wore it? Like, herfriend wore it. Her friend would
have still noticed. Like

Edgar (37:44):
I I think she was gonna wait, like, a few

Darielys (37:45):
what I mean?

Edgar (37:46):
I feel like she was playing a long game. It was
gonna wait, like, 5, 20 yearsand be like, go for my dress.

Erika (37:51):
I don't know. Because I think it has sentimental vile
value. I don't think she wouldwell, at least the friend will
forget. I just think sheshould've said nothing and
should've said, hey. Can yougive me my dress back?
I keep bothering her. Eventhough she still had it.

Edgar (38:04):
I mean, she could've done a better

Darielys (38:05):
job buying it. Revenge.

Edgar (38:07):
Yeah. Yeah. Because I took her

Darielys (38:09):
2 years to look for it, and she found it, like,
what, a couple probably coupleminutes, I guess, or an hour.
I'm a to look for it? Yeah. Andit took her 2 years. Like,
obviously, she wasn't eventrying to look.
She didn't wanna look. Yeah. Sheknew she had it. She just didn't
wanna give it away.

Erika (38:24):
Yeah. I think she it was selfish reasons. Maybe she
didn't wanna keep it because itmakes no sense.

Darielys (38:29):
She she didn't wanna buy her own.

Erika (38:33):
She could always adjust it or do something different,
you know, so the dress away.Don't like, oh, no. That's not
it because it's different.

Darielys (38:38):
Or, like, share it. Like, have our sister wear it.
And then if she really wants it,I don't know. Like, work
something out.

Erika (38:44):
Oh, so the top comment is I would have just taken it and
never told her. Let her thinkshe lost her mind. Yeah. And
then OP actually responded tothat and said, I don't I don't
even think she ever would haveattempted to find it again.

Edgar (38:59):
Yeah.

Erika (39:00):
But still, I'm glad she at least she she was able to
keep it because, you know, herlittle sister wanted to to wear
it.

Darielys (39:06):
I know.

Erika (39:08):
Alright. So the final story is Emma that asked for
getting my neighbor's partnerarrested. About a week ago, my
cat got out and went missing fora few days. I was heartbroken. I
put his litter box outside, hungflyers everywhere, and literally
cried nonstop.

(39:29):
It was bad. Then, I noticedsomeone taking down my flyers.
This made me really upset, so Istarted knocking on people's
doors. One neighbor told me thatshe overheard her neighbor's kid
excitedly thank his mom for anew cat. And when I walked up
the driveway, what do you know?
My cat was sitting in theirwindowsill. He immediately

(39:52):
started pawing at the glass whenhe saw me, and it broke my
heart. I knocked on the frontdoor and explained to the lady
that answered that this was mycat, and she's he's clipped and
everything, so I have proof he'smine. She literally laughed in
my face and slammed the door. Iknocked again and this time, a

(40:14):
huge doodle answered and toldme, this is my son's cat.
Now, go away and slammed thedoor in my face. I went home and
bought like a baby. I called mydad. He's a county sheriff. So
tell him what happened to askwhat I should do.
He told me to stay home and thathe will send over a deputy to

(40:36):
take care of it. Well,apparently, the deputy let it
slip that I was the countysheriff's daughter, and now the
catnapper lady is tellingeveryone in the neighborhood I'm
a so a spoiled brat who wentcrying to her daddy. But the
thing is, I would have calledthe cops regardless. The only
reason I called my dad first isbecause I was bawling and didn't

(40:57):
want to sob on the phone to astranger if I could avoid it.
Plus, I wanted his advice on howto get my cat back.
Apparently, the kid's dad alsowent to jail because the deputy
ran his plates and saw he had awarrant. So this woman is also
telling everyone I got herpartner arrested too. But how
was I supposed to know the guyalso had a freaking warrant? I

(41:21):
just wanted my cat back. Am Ithe asshole?

Edgar (41:25):
No. No. Better a spoiled brat than, like, a felon. Yeah.
And a thief.

Erika (41:32):
What are the chances, though? That's crazy.

Darielys (41:34):
It's just it's a comma. Home. That's what happens
for stealing a cat.

Erika (41:39):
Poor cat. A cat saw her in the window. That was so bad.

I I feel like she would also miss that reference.

Darielys (42:07):
Oh my god. I need Jean. Jean, if you're listening
to this. I'm embarrassed rightnow because they don't know what
I'm talking about.

real.

Edgar (42:27):
Yeah. I don't think the neighbors actually care that,
the OPs as well, Brad orwhatever.

Erika (42:34):
No. I mean, they took out a guy that had a warrant for him
and made the neighborhood safer.What do you mean?

Darielys (42:39):

Erika (42:40):
She was dating a felon,

Darielys (42:42):
like Over a cat. Yeah. All this over a cat and look.

know how to keep why did he saythat she's a is the shared I
know.

Edgar (42:53):
I know. It's like

Erika (42:54):
There's no reason for that.

Darielys (42:55):
That's too much information. Mhmm. Just say, get
the cat back and that's it.That's all you gotta do.

curled up next to me right now.Aw. I'm glad.

Darielys (43:21):
So if you wanna, like, see a picture of the cat.

love that too.

Darielys (43:27):
Right? Like, or the at least a description or a name.

Edgar (43:31):

protect the cat's identity.
