Speaker 2 (00:16):
It's Jack and Niki talking tales of vengeance. Yes, Seeking Revenge.
Studio and text lines are open as always eight eight
eight seven seven seven sixty six forty. You can call
in with your little revenge story. You can text in. Ultimately,
(00:40):
what I'd like to do is have you tell us
about times that you assault revenge and how that worked
out for you. Did you actually get the revenge that
you craved or did it blow up in your face.
We're going to begin with the story of a man
known as the Evil Optometrist. Okay, evil, Evil, Nikki Evil.
(01:03):
This guy claims that he got revenge on his former
bully by well, let's let him explain it. It is
terrible and wrong in so many ways.
Speaker 3 (01:18):
Okay, I'm an optometrist and recently my childhood bully came
into my clinic. He was brutal to me, and a
lot of it had to do with the fact that
I wore glasses. I pull him aside and I say,
you know, your son, he might go blind if you
don't get these glasses to him right now. I give
him a prescription. He says, thank you so much, and
then he actually apologizes to me. It would break my
(01:42):
heart if my son came home crying because somebody made
fun of him for his glasses. And I said, don't
even worry about it. Man.
Speaker 4 (01:49):
But here's the best part. His son has twenty twenty vision.
Speaker 3 (01:52):
His son doesn't need glasses, but I gave him coke
bottle prescriptions.
Speaker 4 (01:56):
His eyes are gonna be massive.
Speaker 3 (01:58):
It actually might affect his vision negatively because it's gonna
hurt his brain so much.
Speaker 4 (02:03):
And he's gonna be bullied.
Speaker 3 (02:04):
He's gonna be bullied every single day for those massive glasses.
Speaker 4 (02:08):
It's gonna be hilarious.
Speaker 3 (02:10):
So this is a message to all the bullies out there.
You're gonna get what's coming to you.
Speaker 4 (02:14):
You're gonna get what's coming to you.
Speaker 5 (02:17):
Oh no, this is awful.
Speaker 2 (02:20):
And I'm guessing what's coming to this optometrist is a
suspension of his license and loss of his job. Yep,
if this is real, if this guy's an actual optometrist,
he's an idiot, because if you would actually post something
like this publicly and admit to doing something so wrong
and unethical and immoral.
Speaker 5 (02:39):
You've just ruined your own life.
Speaker 2 (02:40):
You're done, and you're done. You're not gonna have a
career after that. This is truly bizarre to me. And
also he's taking it out on his bully's son. It's
not even getting at the guy who wronged him. He's
going after an innocent third person. Right, This guy is
whole horrible, no wonder he's called the evil Optometrist. It
(03:05):
is evil, it is it's misguided, it's wrong, horrible.
Speaker 5 (03:10):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (03:10):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (03:11):
And also, how do you convince somebody with twenty twenty
vision to put on glasses that make it impossible for
them to see and cause them headed?
Speaker 4 (03:20):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (03:20):
I was about to say, how is the kid?
Speaker 6 (03:22):
Like?
Speaker 4 (03:23):
Why wouldn't he go? I take off?
Speaker 2 (03:24):
I can see fine, everything's good. As soon as I
put him on, I'm walking into walls.
Speaker 4 (03:28):
I see. Doesn't make any sense.
Speaker 7 (03:31):
That's That's where I'm like, is this Yeah? Something something's off?
Speaker 4 (03:36):
You got it?
Speaker 2 (03:37):
Yeah, something is not right here. But we're not here
to try to figure out if this is real or not.
I don't care. What I want to know is if
you have ever attempted to get vengeance on somebody. If so,
what did you try to do and how did it
turn out? That's really all I want to know. Okay,
this is my goal in all of this. I call
(03:58):
it again. Tales of Vengeance Studio and text lines are
open eight eight eight seven seven seven sixty six forty.
Call in with your story. We'll shoot us a text here.
I am curious because I got out of the Vengeance
game a.
Speaker 4 (04:16):
Long time ago.
Speaker 5 (04:17):
Oh you did?
Speaker 4 (04:18):
You retired?
Speaker 2 (04:19):
I retired from the Vengeance game when I was a kid.
I got I got burned pretty bad, and I realized,
you know, what.
Speaker 4 (04:24):
I was doing is wrong. Okay, yeah, all right, so
I stopped.
Speaker 2 (04:27):
It'll be free because well, normally, when we have these
little story times here on the show, I'll tell my story.
But in this particular instance, I don't really have one.
Speaker 5 (04:35):
Because you got out of the Vengeance game.
Speaker 2 (04:37):
Because I got out of the Vengeance game because I
retired from the Vengeance game.
Speaker 7 (04:40):
That's exactly what we got to be a little much
for you, I stand, Yeah, what about you?
Speaker 5 (04:45):
I have taken I guess Vengeance out once that I
can remember.
Speaker 2 (04:50):
Okay, would you like to share that story with us
coming up, I can.
Speaker 7 (04:54):
I don't even know if vengeance or just writing.
Speaker 5 (04:56):
I'm not sure, but it might be vengeance.
Speaker 4 (04:58):
All right, well we'll we'll judge.
Speaker 5 (05:00):
Shear vengeance was in third grade?
Speaker 2 (05:02):
So okay, ridiculous third grade, Nikki, What are you seeing
on the textual line?
Speaker 7 (05:09):
This one is fantastic found out and ex cheated on me.
So I spread five hundred small brass keys all over
our hometown with tags that said if found call number.
He was bombarded with calls over the next couple of
weeks and had to change his number. Oh wow, wow, Yeah,
that's fantastic.
Speaker 4 (05:30):
Interesting.
Speaker 7 (05:31):
That takes a lot planning to it does, because you
gotta there's five hundred keys, you gotta spread them out.
Did you get people to help you, like who lived
in different parts of town so that they could spread,
you know.
Speaker 5 (05:41):
Sprinkle these keys. Did you do it all at once?
Speaker 7 (05:44):
Did you space them out over a few weeks and
sprinkle them here and there and over time?
Speaker 2 (05:51):
I have to assume that people who do these things
don't believe in karma, maybe because in any justly run
universe that come back.
Speaker 4 (05:59):
To bite you.
Speaker 3 (05:59):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
Yeah, let's see, I didn't get a chance to read
this one. Vengeance question Mark says this, Texter, maybe did
you see this one?
Speaker 5 (06:08):
I haven't been able to approve for you to get.
Speaker 2 (06:10):
Okay, let's see where it goes. Ok A girl in
high school always park perpendicular to three or four parking
spots in her exterra to get out of our parking
lot faster. Another girl and I blocked her in by
capping the spots in front of her. Never felt so
great to watch her yell and be angry. She couldn't
leave until we left half an hour after dismissal. Okay,
(06:31):
that one seems fine. Yeah, that's not Yeah, it's not
terribly destructive to the person's life.
Speaker 5 (06:36):
Sure you think karma will be okay with that?
Speaker 4 (06:38):
I think probably.
Speaker 2 (06:40):
Let's say, well, first of all, I don't believe in karma,
but if if there were such a thing as karma,
your karma payment would.
Speaker 4 (06:47):
Be a minor one.
Speaker 5 (06:48):
A minor payment.
Speaker 4 (06:49):
Would be a minor inconvenience for you.
Speaker 5 (06:53):
Okay, what about the five hundred keys? What kind of
a payment is that one?
Speaker 2 (06:58):
If you're making somebody change their phone number, we had
some karma debt there. Okay, all right, what about you
Nikki Drake tell us the story of the third grade
and Nikki Drake seeking vengeance.
Speaker 5 (07:09):
I don't think it's vengeance. I don't know.
Speaker 7 (07:11):
Like, Okay, So when we lived in Weirden, my sister,
my younger sister, and I shared a bedroom and my
friend came over and stole from my sister and it
was this little tiny case of scented erasers.
Speaker 5 (07:30):
Okay, what a crime spree. Wow, right, that's all that
was taken.
Speaker 7 (07:40):
So then, and this was like probably in first or
second grade that it happened.
Speaker 4 (07:45):
In third I remember those were great, right. I loved him.
Speaker 7 (07:48):
Yea, in third grade she was I was asking to
borrow something. She's like, yeah, it's in my desk. I
opened her desk. There's the case almost scented erasers, rusted, busted.
Speaker 4 (08:00):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (08:01):
So I took them back. I stole them back. I
don't know.
Speaker 7 (08:05):
I didn't like, you know, destroy the rest of her
desk or anything like that, but I did steal them back.
And I do feel bad for the theft. But at
the same time I was writing it wrong.
Speaker 4 (08:13):
That's not theft. You were reclaiming stolen property.
Speaker 7 (08:16):
Yeah, And then I gave them back to my sister,
and to this day my sister who we still fight,
you know, because we're sisters, but she remembers I'm always
in her corner because in third grade I stole those
erasers back for her.
Speaker 4 (08:28):
Let's scale this up.
Speaker 2 (08:30):
If somebody stole let's say Dave's car, and you found
it a couple of weeks later, yeah, and brought it back,
you're not stealing it from.
Speaker 5 (08:40):
That person because it's it's the car.
Speaker 2 (08:43):
You're reclaiming it. It's the same thing with your sister,
is you were reclaiming Yeah.
Speaker 4 (08:48):
Okay, now, now I will tell you this.
Speaker 2 (08:51):
What I did was truly wrong, and this is where
I learned my lesson very young. In elementary school.
Speaker 4 (08:56):
Okay, this is where I stopped.
Speaker 2 (08:58):
Okay, there were body in town, this kid that we hated,
and he was a bullied he was a jerk, and
one day somehow we managed to get our hands on
one of his shirts and we decided to burn it.
We were like his clothing, Yeah, that's why he wasn't
wearing it at the time.
Speaker 5 (09:15):
Did you have to strip it off of him or
where was the shirt?
Speaker 3 (09:17):
No?
Speaker 4 (09:18):
I think we're playing football or something. You take your
shirt off.
Speaker 2 (09:20):
We ran off. Yuck, yuck, We've got your shirt. And
then we were like, let's burn it. So we started
to boys boys. So so we fired that thing up
and then it started. The fire starts to get out
of hand because you know, it starts to melt, it
starts to loose and right, and we're like, oh god,
we're going to burn the town down. So we panic
and we start trying to stop it at all. Well,
(09:40):
a piece of it went up onto my leg and
melted right into my leg. It melted right under my kneecap,
right into my leg. Yeah, and it was painful. Karma
got you a meet, Karma got me immediately. And I
was like, I'm not because what I did was wrong.
I'm trying to get revenge on this kid. I'm trying
to make him pay because I'm going to decide the
(10:02):
scales of justice are up to me in my you know,
little head at that point, my misshaping little uh so.
But that's what I learned. It was like, you know,
it's not it's not up to me to decide to
judge people and what the punishment should be. That's for
somebody else. And according to the scripture, I have right
here Nikki Drake, that's someone is the lord. Oh yeah,
(10:26):
so I was like, according to him, not mine, So
you know, I'm out of the vengeance game.
Speaker 1 (10:32):
The Jack and Nikki Show one two w v a.
Speaker 2 (10:36):
Q talking about people in need. Perhaps you have needed
a favor from a stranger, perhaps a stranger has asked
for a favor from you, and we're going to explore
that now as we take a look at drunks in the.
Speaker 8 (10:50):
News, drunk and disorderly.
Speaker 4 (10:54):
Drunk and disorderly drunk and disorderly drunk and disorderly pree drunk.
Speaker 2 (11:03):
All right, we're gonna take you on a little journey.
Now'll stay with us. This is gonna make sense and
it's gonna pay off. We begin with the story of
some drunk women who are making headlines after they convinced
a man to take them through a drive through okay, yeah,
at a fast food place. These women they wanted to order,
but they didn't have a car, and I guess they
(11:24):
felt like they couldn't go inside because they were drunk.
So you see the bund therein.
Speaker 5 (11:29):
Oh yeah, okay.
Speaker 2 (11:31):
So what they did was they approached a man who
was there in a car and they asked if they
could get into his back seat so they could go
through and place their order. And here's how that played out, Sir.
Speaker 4 (11:44):
Can I order my food?
Speaker 3 (11:47):
Why not?
Speaker 7 (11:48):
They don't know bar soap.
Speaker 5 (11:51):
In the back.
Speaker 1 (11:52):
Thank you so much.
Speaker 7 (11:54):
You're the best guy ever, diet coke one fry.
Speaker 5 (11:58):
Sorry, if you're not going to be in the car,
I'm not going to take the order. I'm in the car.
I'm literally looking at you. Your friend is outside of
the car, so I'm not gonna take the Okay, she
just left. Can I order?
Speaker 7 (12:10):
Now?
Speaker 4 (12:10):
Can you just pay for his food? Y?
Speaker 5 (12:12):
I love that I secured the bag. You're my forever
McDonald's hero.
Speaker 2 (12:18):
Okay, So for what I can gather there, I guess
one of them managed to get in the car and
the other one just walked beside the car. Yeah, and
the person working the drive through was refusing to give
him the food because one of them was standing outside
the car, so she had to walk away. And then
you got this poor jackass driving the car who agreed
to go along with all this, even though he doesn't
know either one of these women, right right?
Speaker 4 (12:42):
Okay?
Speaker 2 (12:44):
And what an odd thing he said, I don't know
you from a bar of soap.
Speaker 5 (12:48):
I've never heard that before.
Speaker 4 (12:49):
I haven't either.
Speaker 2 (12:50):
Yeah, maybe he was drunk. That's a weird thing to say.
Speaker 5 (12:54):
Okay, so this maybe he needs to go through the driver,
maybe he needs.
Speaker 4 (12:58):
To get in the back.
Speaker 2 (13:00):
So this begs the question, though, if you've ever had
a stranger ask you for a favor, Like, let's say
you're this guy driving and these drunk women come up.
I mean, there's an example of that. We want to
know if you've ever been in a situation where a
stranger is ask you for a favor, what that was?
Did you do the favor? But also, have you ever
had to ask somebody for a favor? Because this is
(13:21):
the problem with the I seventy nine scammer. Is it
just kind of ruins that trust that people have in
each other in a polite society. Yep, it's and he's
taking advantage of that. Yes, but we've all been in situations.
Speaker 4 (13:36):
I know I have. I've had to ask people.
Speaker 2 (13:38):
I mean, I've actually been in a situation where I've
realized that I have my wallet on me and I
had no cards, no cash, no ID anything, and I
needed like five bucks yep, to get some gasoline.
Speaker 4 (13:50):
And I've said Hey, you know, if you'll give me
your dress, I'll like, yeah, it's five dollars a go.
I've had that.
Speaker 2 (13:56):
But and then people will ask me for help sometimes,
and I've helped out what I get all the time
from women in grocery stores. Can you get that off
the shelf for me? There's a lot of that I
can't reach that. Can you get that from me?
Speaker 1 (14:10):
Yeah?
Speaker 7 (14:10):
Sure, I get yeah, yeah, yeah, But then do they
ask you to pay for it?
Speaker 2 (14:15):
They asked me to pay for it and then loaded
into their car, and then they asked me to go
to their house and prepare the meal. Yes, because a
lot of times it's like a full meal kit that
they're buying.
Speaker 4 (14:24):
It's multiple a lot.
Speaker 2 (14:26):
They say, look, just go in there and get started,
all right, make the chicken and the steak, and then
get the vegetables going and make some rice.
Speaker 4 (14:33):
I'd like to play to stir fry. Why can't you
do this for me? And I'm like, geez, I'm sorry.
I guess you're right. I'll get started.
Speaker 5 (14:38):
Yeah, it's a good scam, it is.
Speaker 4 (14:41):
But I'm tender hearted, so I fall for it. What
about you, Nikki Drake.
Speaker 7 (14:45):
I was in a position where I was at a
gas station.
Speaker 5 (14:47):
I needed gas, but I didn't have my.
Speaker 7 (14:50):
Wallet, and I was driving from Kent State down to
Marshall because Dave wasn't going to Marshall when I was
going to Kent State and I was panicking. Yeah, and thankfully,
this kind hearted gentleman gave me money for gas.
Speaker 5 (15:09):
I was able to gas up my vehicle.
Speaker 7 (15:10):
I was able to contact somebody back at the dorm
to meet me halfway so I could get my wallet.
Speaker 5 (15:16):
I got this guy's business card, and.
Speaker 7 (15:19):
I sent the information to my parents so that, you know,
they could send him money. Because I looked at the card,
I was like, Oh, he's from Columbus, Ohio. Like, well,
my parents live there, so I'll send them the information.
Turns out goes to my parents' church.
Speaker 5 (15:35):
They know him. His wife sings in the choir with
my mother.
Speaker 2 (15:40):
How about that, Right, in a city of about a
million people, you're bound to bump into somebody go to
church with your parents when you need five bucks.
Speaker 7 (15:49):
But I just happened to bump into him in you know,
a random place between you know, Ohio and West Virginia.
Speaker 5 (15:54):
I can't remember what state I happened to be in
at the time. But yeah, and he a.
Speaker 4 (15:59):
State of an abery, I'm guessing, with a big lump
on your head.
Speaker 5 (16:02):
So that that was the time I had no wallet,
needed money.
Speaker 2 (16:06):
It was fortuitous. Studio lines are open eight eight eight
seven seven seven sixty six forty. You could text us
as well. Again, just curious. You've been approached by a
stranger asking you for a favor?
Speaker 4 (16:17):
What was it? Did you do it? Have you had
to do that?
Speaker 2 (16:20):
Have you been on that end of it where you
are looking for a favor from a stranger? How did
it go? Fascinating stories? Studio text lines open again eight
eight eight seven seven seven sixty six forty. Let's get
to it. You were on the Jack and Nikki Show.
What's your story?
Speaker 7 (16:39):
Yeah?
Speaker 8 (16:39):
Once when I was down Mechanicsville, Maryland, had a guy
that's going from pump to pump at a wall while
asking people to have supper tables. They got over to me.
I said, yeah, but then it all sun became well
it won't start. Can you just give me a ride
down the road?
Speaker 2 (16:59):
Let me let me see I find your And did
you attempt to start it and it wouldn't start?
Speaker 4 (17:02):
Or he just when you said no?
Speaker 8 (17:05):
As soon as I said that, he said, it's not
going to start.
Speaker 2 (17:08):
Oh okay, So as soon as you offered the cables,
he said, don't, it's not gonna start anyway.
Speaker 4 (17:11):
Oh wow.
Speaker 8 (17:12):
So what you do, yeah said, I couldn't take him
because it's company policy, company trust.
Speaker 2 (17:18):
Company policy is that you aren't murdered by a stranger
while you're driving the company vehicle.
Speaker 4 (17:24):
Exactly, yeah, you said, sir.
Speaker 2 (17:27):
It says right here. If you look, this is from
the company. We keep this in the glove box. I
can't be murdered. Yeah, all right, Well I think you
made the right decision there, buddy. That doesn't smell right
at all, does it.
Speaker 8 (17:39):
Nope?
Speaker 2 (17:39):
All right, appreciate it. That's the thing that's so interesting
to me about these situations is it's it's really a
chess game that you're playing with the ultimate punishment attached.
Speaker 4 (17:54):
To it if you get it wrong. Yes, if you
make the wrong.
Speaker 5 (17:56):
Move, the ultimate punishment you.
Speaker 2 (17:58):
End up in a shallow grave some way. Yeah, for
no other reason than you're trying to help somebody.
Speaker 4 (18:05):
They're preying on your good nature and on.
Speaker 5 (18:09):
Your kind heart.
Speaker 2 (18:10):
Yeah, it's really truly awful that people do that. But
what what makes me, especially sad Nikki. What causes me
to weep alone at night is how many people who
are legitimately in need of help, yes, and can't get
it because people are worried about being murdered.
Speaker 5 (18:30):
You know, you're just yeah, being scammed being murdered.
Speaker 4 (18:32):
Right, Yeah, that's exactly right.
Speaker 2 (18:34):
It can go from hey, I lost twenty bucks to
you know again, shallow grape. So it runs the gamut
of ways that you can pay for making the wrong decision. Yeah,
in these situations, and that's too bad.
Speaker 5 (18:46):
It's so unfortunate, it really is.
Speaker 4 (18:48):
All right, let's talk to no all the wayward truck driver. Yeah,
he's in is well, it's very enthusiastic.
Speaker 2 (18:58):
He's in his truck somewhere between Morgantown and Wheeling, even
he doesn't know for sure. And now here's a guy
who should have a lot of these kinds of stories, right,
oh sure, yeah, all right, let's hear what of knowl
what you got?
Speaker 9 (19:10):
Hey, I picked up a hitchhiker in graft And a
couple of years ago and at go March. He was
hitchhiking from DC to Kentucky. He had a dog with him,
had a little sign Peter right in the Kentucky mm hm.
So I picked him up. Yeah, and so I can
take you to Bridgeport as far as I can go.
He didn't ask for money. I put the dog in
the backseat. The dog smelled I think it was a dog.
(19:31):
But anyways, but he said he was working in DC
and this idiot back to his family. I said, you
don't have anybody come and pick you up. He was
sleeping outside. It was like October. I felt bad for
the guy. So I said, I'll take you to Bridgeport
and get your motel room. No I can't because they
won't let the dog in. So I can go with
the dog fane.
Speaker 2 (19:50):
Outside and the whole time the dog is thinking, Wow,
this is the longest walk ever. Are we ever going
to get back to a house? Let me ask you this, Noel,
was there that one awkward moment when each of you
pulled out your knife at the same time to kill
each other, and then you started laughing, and then you
went and had dinner.
Speaker 9 (20:06):
Yeah, yeah, we started laughing and shook hands.
Speaker 3 (20:08):

Well, I was coming back to my vehicle loading my
groceries into my trunk, and I noticed the car next
to me.
Speaker 5 (20:56):
The passenger front door was not quite closed.
Speaker 4 (21:01):
It was a jar.
Speaker 5 (21:01):
It was a jar, but not.
Speaker 7 (21:03):
Like super a jar where it was just like you
could tell it wasn't closed all the way.
Speaker 5 (21:08):
And I was like, oh goodness, this is a problem.
Speaker 7 (21:11):
And I wasn't sure what to do, Like do I
go close it like just like a hip bump and
bam it's closed. I put my hand on it and
close it, or because that seems sus right, or do
I have to open it to close it? Because what
if there's something stuck and that's why it's not closed.
(21:31):
Also more questions running through my head. There was a
long list of inner monologue. Yeah, how did this happen?
Because doesn't your car usually beat at you if something
is a jar, But when you lock your car and
walk away from it, So then I'm like, oh, no,
the entire vehicle is unlocked.
Speaker 5 (21:48):
Like, now what do I do if I open it
and lock it and close it? Now?
Speaker 2 (21:55):
You and I have not discussed this whole situation off
the air.
Speaker 5 (22:00):
I don't know what I did.
Speaker 2 (22:02):
I don't, but that's why I want to take a
guess right now? Okay, can I can I go ahead
and guess?
Speaker 5 (22:06):
What do you think I did?
Speaker 4 (22:07):
You finished loading the groceries in your car and just
drove off?
Speaker 7 (22:11):
No? I did not just drive Oh well, I finished
loading the groceries in my vehicle and then I was
just like looking around and there was nobody really around,
but somebody was walking in my general direction.
Speaker 5 (22:24):
It's like, okay, I'm going to stall.
Speaker 7 (22:26):
I'm going to walk my cart back to the thing,
and by the time I get back, I'll know if
this is that person's vehicle or not.
Speaker 5 (22:32):
Turns out it was okay.
Speaker 7 (22:33):
So I was like, hey, I didn't want to just
close your door, but your door's open, and I was
trying to wait around to see what was going to
happen because I didn't want to look suspicious and close
it for you.
Speaker 5 (22:46):
And he was very.
Speaker 7 (22:46):
Thankful and like, oh my gosh, thank you so much.
He went up and closed the door and everything, and
I was all fine and dandy, but I'm wondering, like,
would it have been fine if I just like tried
to close it on my own, or would I've been arrested.
Speaker 2 (22:59):
I think this is an excellent question. It's a question
of parking lot protocol.
Speaker 7 (23:03):
Yeah, protocol, Yes, that's what it is.
Speaker 2 (23:06):
And I want to know how people would handle this situation.
Studio and text lines are open eight eight eight seven
seven seven sixty six forty. You can text us as
well if you'd like.
Speaker 4 (23:17):
If you ever.
Speaker 2 (23:17):
Encountered this, what would be the proper reaction to this?
I mean maybe you haven't encountered it, but just hearing
this for the first time, what would you do? How
would you handle this?
Speaker 4 (23:26):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (23:26):
What is the right thing to do in person's car?
And then I'm still standing there and I'm like, oh gosh.
Speaker 2 (23:31):
There are a whole lot of ways that could have
gone south on you. Let's say that you try the
door handle to see if the entire door of the
entire car is unlocked, and it opens and it is unlocked. Okay,
so then you lock it. You use the door latch,
but lock, and then you slam it. Okay, Well, maybe
they left it unlocked for a reason, right, And now
(23:51):
they come out and they can't get back in their
car because next thought, Jack asks do gooder in the
parking lot lock their door for them, right, So there's that,
or or here's another scenario. You try the door handle,
open it up and find hey, this thing's wide open,
and just as you're doing that, they walk out of
the store and see you standing there with their car
(24:12):
door open. Right, Okay, Now now you're in trouble. They're
probably gonna call the police, and what a likely story
to tell the police. No, no, officer, I wasn't trying
to get into a stranger's car to steal from them.
I was just checking to make sure the doors were
properly locked. Nobody's gonna buy that. Nobody's gonna buy that.
So now you're in all kinds of trouble. You're getting
(24:33):
arrested for breaking into somebody's car. Again, so many ways
this could go south on you, right, Yeah.
Speaker 7 (24:40):
I was really afraid, like if I hip checked it
and it was like the seat belt or something was
blocking it, and then I would have to open it
and like move the seat belt back into the vehicle
and then close it.
Speaker 2 (24:50):
And then even a simple hip check could be potentially
troublesome because the person who owns the car could see
you do that. They come out and go, hey, why
are you slamming your hip into my car? Why are
you getting my vehicle? Why are you touching my vehicle?
I mean, I could happen.
Speaker 5 (25:07):
That was the other thing. Like, I didn't want to
lay hands on it.
Speaker 7 (25:09):
I was like maybe a hip check would on it
discreet way right by just like but touching it with
my hands, Like I think that was the stuff too.
Speaker 4 (25:18):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (25:18):
Yeah, well I don't know. You're lucky that it timed
out the way it did. Yes, that you stalled and
the person actually showed up. Yeah, that was very fortuitous.
Speaker 4 (25:28):
Yes, Yes, it was okay.
Speaker 2 (25:30):
Triple eight, triple seven sixty six forty text us what
do you do in this situation? It is a question
of parking lot etiquette. Jack and Nikki and you guys
on studio and textual lines triple A triple seven sixty
six forty A question of parking lot protocol? What should
you do if you see somebody's door slightly ajar? Nikki
(25:54):
was again filled with confusion in trepidation when this happened
to her just days ago at the Saberton Kroger.
Speaker 4 (26:00):
Sir, you say you have the solution? Is that correct?
Speaker 6 (26:04):
Yes, go into the building and also give you the
description of the car in the license plate, and you
know they had the intercom system and say, hey, look
this car, this license plate has your door slightly, Ajar.
Also the look see if the lights are in the cars,
the battery would go bad on them. But sometimes being
(26:24):
the good Samaritan can backfire on you. But that's what
I would do, trying to locate the owner. If not,
I'd walk away from it.
Speaker 4 (26:32):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (26:32):
Now, I was going to suggest, Nikki, that you go
in and commandeer the PA and try to find this person,
because I know you've done that before to me while
I was shopping in Kroger at that very Kroger. Yeah,
I'm back in the meat section at jack Loger. Please
refer it to the front. Nicky's here but as luck
would have it, the person came out and NICKI was
(26:53):
able to see the person go to the car, so
she didn't have to do that far with it.
Speaker 7 (26:57):
I was nervous to go in and be like, hey,
you know, like their door's open. By don't want you
saying their doors open, because then anybody could come out
and go through their car saying that it's their car,
you know. Like that was the other thing that went
through my head. And I was like, if it's headlights,
that's one thing, you know.
Speaker 2 (27:11):
If it's an open door, though, that's another, that's another.
That's basically like going into Kroger, grabbing the pa, going
attention shoppers, theft opportunity in the parking lot, theft opportunity
in the parking lot. Right, all right, sir, thank you
for the call. We appreciate that you are on the
Jack and Nikki Show. What do you think here?
Speaker 4 (27:28):
Well, you know, I've got to be learning lessons for
everybody out there.
Speaker 7 (27:31):
At some point.
Speaker 9 (27:32):
I wouldn't touched the door, but that's just me. Got
to learn your lesson people.
Speaker 7 (27:37):
So touch the door, stay out of it, you say, yeah.
Speaker 5 (27:40):
Me personally, yeah, no, touchy.
Speaker 4 (27:44):
I would like hip check the door and put a
freaking sens in it the size of my ass.
Speaker 2 (27:50):
So somebody would come out of store and go, hey,
someone's butt grooves on my car door.
Speaker 5 (27:54):
Right then it turns into a Cinderella situation.
Speaker 2 (27:56):
Right then, the guys driving around town for a month
asking women, can you push your butt into my car door?
Speaker 4 (28:04):
Seriously, I'm not being a creep.
Speaker 3 (28:06):
I just.
Speaker 8 (28:08):
It's the new trend.
Speaker 5 (28:09):
You just you just butt up on somebody's car.
Speaker 4 (28:11):
Yeah, butt up on it.
Speaker 1 (28:13):
Take a cheat, you know.
Speaker 4 (28:15):
Hey, thank you so much. We'll see you.
Speaker 5 (28:18):
I love you, crazy cat.
Speaker 4 (28:20):
Oh, we love you too.
If you're listening to the Jack and Nicki Show podcast
everywhere you get your podcasts and at WBQ dot com,
join Jack and Nicky live weekday mornings from six to
ten on one O two WVQ.
Speaker 2 (00:16):
It's Jack and Niki talking tales of vengeance. Yes, Seeking Revenge.
Studio and text lines are open as always eight eight
eight seven seven seven sixty six forty. You can call
in with your little revenge story. You can text in. Ultimately,
(00:40):
what I'd like to do is have you tell us
about times that you assault revenge and how that worked
out for you. Did you actually get the revenge that
you craved or did it blow up in your face.
We're going to begin with the story of a man
known as the Evil Optometrist. Okay, evil, Evil, Nikki Evil.
(01:03):
This guy claims that he got revenge on his former
bully by well, let's let him explain it. It is
terrible and wrong in so many ways.
Speaker 3 (01:18):
Okay, I'm an optometrist and recently my childhood bully came
into my clinic. He was brutal to me, and a
lot of it had to do with the fact that
I wore glasses. I pull him aside and I say,
you know, your son, he might go blind if you
don't get these glasses to him right now. I give
him a prescription. He says, thank you so much, and
then he actually apologizes to me. It would break my
(01:42):
heart if my son came home crying because somebody made
fun of him for his glasses. And I said, don't
even worry about it. Man.
Speaker 4 (01:49):
But here's the best part. His son has twenty twenty vision.
Speaker 3 (01:52):
His son doesn't need glasses, but I gave him coke
bottle prescriptions.
Speaker 4 (01:56):
His eyes are gonna be massive.
Speaker 3 (01:58):
It actually might affect his vision negatively because it's gonna
hurt his brain so much.
Speaker 4 (02:03):
And he's gonna be bullied.
Speaker 3 (02:04):
He's gonna be bullied every single day for those massive glasses.
Speaker 4 (02:08):
It's gonna be hilarious.
Speaker 3 (02:10):
So this is a message to all the bullies out there.
You're gonna get what's coming to you.
Speaker 4 (02:14):
You're gonna get what's coming to you.
Speaker 5 (02:17):
Oh no, this is awful.
Speaker 2 (02:20):
And I'm guessing what's coming to this optometrist is a
suspension of his license and loss of his job. Yep,
if this is real, if this guy's an actual optometrist,
he's an idiot, because if you would actually post something
like this publicly and admit to doing something so wrong
and unethical and immoral.
Speaker 5 (02:39):
You've just ruined your own life.
Speaker 2 (02:40):
You're done, and you're done. You're not gonna have a
career after that. This is truly bizarre to me. And
also he's taking it out on his bully's son. It's
not even getting at the guy who wronged him. He's
going after an innocent third person. Right, This guy is
whole horrible, no wonder he's called the evil Optometrist. It
(03:05):
is evil, it is it's misguided, it's wrong, horrible.
Speaker 5 (03:10):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (03:10):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (03:11):
And also, how do you convince somebody with twenty twenty
vision to put on glasses that make it impossible for
them to see and cause them headed?
Speaker 4 (03:20):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (03:20):
I was about to say, how is the kid?
Speaker 6 (03:22):
Like?
Speaker 4 (03:23):
Why wouldn't he go? I take off?
Speaker 2 (03:24):
I can see fine, everything's good. As soon as I
put him on, I'm walking into walls.
Speaker 4 (03:28):
I see. Doesn't make any sense.
Speaker 7 (03:31):
That's That's where I'm like, is this Yeah? Something something's off?
Speaker 4 (03:36):
You got it?
Speaker 2 (03:37):
Yeah, something is not right here. But we're not here
to try to figure out if this is real or not.
I don't care. What I want to know is if
you have ever attempted to get vengeance on somebody. If so,
what did you try to do and how did it
turn out? That's really all I want to know. Okay,
this is my goal in all of this. I call
(03:58):
it again. Tales of Vengeance Studio and text lines are
open eight eight eight seven seven seven sixty six forty.
Call in with your story. We'll shoot us a text here.
I am curious because I got out of the Vengeance
game a.
Speaker 4 (04:16):
Long time ago.
Speaker 5 (04:17):
Oh you did?
Speaker 4 (04:18):
You retired?
Speaker 2 (04:19):
I retired from the Vengeance game when I was a kid.
I got I got burned pretty bad, and I realized,
you know, what.
Speaker 4 (04:24):
I was doing is wrong. Okay, yeah, all right, so
I stopped.
Speaker 2 (04:27):
It'll be free because well, normally, when we have these
little story times here on the show, I'll tell my story.
But in this particular instance, I don't really have one.
Speaker 5 (04:35):
Because you got out of the Vengeance game.
Speaker 2 (04:37):
Because I got out of the Vengeance game because I
retired from the Vengeance game.
Speaker 7 (04:40):
That's exactly what we got to be a little much
for you, I stand, Yeah, what about you?
Speaker 5 (04:45):
I have taken I guess Vengeance out once that I
can remember.
Speaker 2 (04:50):
Okay, would you like to share that story with us
coming up, I can.
Speaker 7 (04:54):
I don't even know if vengeance or just writing.
Speaker 5 (04:56):
I'm not sure, but it might be vengeance.
Speaker 4 (04:58):
All right, well we'll we'll judge.
Speaker 5 (05:00):
Shear vengeance was in third grade?
Speaker 2 (05:02):
So okay, ridiculous third grade, Nikki, What are you seeing
on the textual line?
Speaker 7 (05:09):
This one is fantastic found out and ex cheated on me.
So I spread five hundred small brass keys all over
our hometown with tags that said if found call number.
He was bombarded with calls over the next couple of
weeks and had to change his number. Oh wow, wow, Yeah,
that's fantastic.
Speaker 4 (05:30):
Interesting.
Speaker 7 (05:31):
That takes a lot planning to it does, because you
gotta there's five hundred keys, you gotta spread them out.
Did you get people to help you, like who lived
in different parts of town so that they could spread,
you know.
Speaker 5 (05:41):
Sprinkle these keys. Did you do it all at once?
Speaker 7 (05:44):
Did you space them out over a few weeks and
sprinkle them here and there and over time?
Speaker 2 (05:51):
I have to assume that people who do these things
don't believe in karma, maybe because in any justly run
universe that come back.
Speaker 4 (05:59):
To bite you.
Speaker 3 (05:59):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
Yeah, let's see, I didn't get a chance to read
this one. Vengeance question Mark says this, Texter, maybe did
you see this one?
Speaker 5 (06:08):
I haven't been able to approve for you to get.
Speaker 2 (06:10):
Okay, let's see where it goes. Ok A girl in
high school always park perpendicular to three or four parking
spots in her exterra to get out of our parking
lot faster. Another girl and I blocked her in by
capping the spots in front of her. Never felt so
great to watch her yell and be angry. She couldn't
leave until we left half an hour after dismissal. Okay,
(06:31):
that one seems fine. Yeah, that's not Yeah, it's not
terribly destructive to the person's life.
Speaker 5 (06:36):
Sure you think karma will be okay with that?
Speaker 4 (06:38):
I think probably.
Speaker 2 (06:40):
Let's say, well, first of all, I don't believe in karma,
but if if there were such a thing as karma,
your karma payment would.
Speaker 4 (06:47):
Be a minor one.
Speaker 5 (06:48):
A minor payment.
Speaker 4 (06:49):
Would be a minor inconvenience for you.
Speaker 5 (06:53):
Okay, what about the five hundred keys? What kind of
a payment is that one?
Speaker 2 (06:58):
If you're making somebody change their phone number, we had
some karma debt there. Okay, all right, what about you
Nikki Drake tell us the story of the third grade
and Nikki Drake seeking vengeance.
Speaker 5 (07:09):
I don't think it's vengeance. I don't know.
Speaker 7 (07:11):
Like, Okay, So when we lived in Weirden, my sister,
my younger sister, and I shared a bedroom and my
friend came over and stole from my sister and it
was this little tiny case of scented erasers.
Speaker 5 (07:30):
Okay, what a crime spree. Wow, right, that's all that
was taken.
Speaker 7 (07:40):
So then, and this was like probably in first or
second grade that it happened.
Speaker 4 (07:45):
In third I remember those were great, right. I loved him.
Speaker 7 (07:48):
Yea, in third grade she was I was asking to
borrow something. She's like, yeah, it's in my desk. I
opened her desk. There's the case almost scented erasers, rusted, busted.
Speaker 4 (08:00):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (08:01):
So I took them back. I stole them back. I
don't know.
Speaker 7 (08:05):
I didn't like, you know, destroy the rest of her
desk or anything like that, but I did steal them back.
And I do feel bad for the theft. But at
the same time I was writing it wrong.
Speaker 4 (08:13):
That's not theft. You were reclaiming stolen property.
Speaker 7 (08:16):
Yeah, And then I gave them back to my sister,
and to this day my sister who we still fight,
you know, because we're sisters, but she remembers I'm always
in her corner because in third grade I stole those
erasers back for her.
Speaker 4 (08:28):
Let's scale this up.
Speaker 2 (08:30):
If somebody stole let's say Dave's car, and you found
it a couple of weeks later, yeah, and brought it back,
you're not stealing it from.
Speaker 5 (08:40):
That person because it's it's the car.
Speaker 2 (08:43):
You're reclaiming it. It's the same thing with your sister,
is you were reclaiming Yeah.
Speaker 4 (08:48):
Okay, now, now I will tell you this.
Speaker 2 (08:51):
What I did was truly wrong, and this is where
I learned my lesson very young. In elementary school.
Speaker 4 (08:56):
Okay, this is where I stopped.
Speaker 2 (08:58):
Okay, there were body in town, this kid that we hated,
and he was a bullied he was a jerk, and
one day somehow we managed to get our hands on
one of his shirts and we decided to burn it.
We were like his clothing, Yeah, that's why he wasn't
wearing it at the time.
Speaker 5 (09:15):
Did you have to strip it off of him or
where was the shirt?
Speaker 3 (09:17):
No?
Speaker 4 (09:18):
I think we're playing football or something. You take your
shirt off.
Speaker 2 (09:20):
We ran off. Yuck, yuck, We've got your shirt. And
then we were like, let's burn it. So we started
to boys boys. So so we fired that thing up
and then it started. The fire starts to get out
of hand because you know, it starts to melt, it
starts to loose and right, and we're like, oh god,
we're going to burn the town down. So we panic
and we start trying to stop it at all. Well,
(09:40):
a piece of it went up onto my leg and
melted right into my leg. It melted right under my kneecap,
right into my leg. Yeah, and it was painful. Karma
got you a meet, Karma got me immediately. And I
was like, I'm not because what I did was wrong.
I'm trying to get revenge on this kid. I'm trying
to make him pay because I'm going to decide the
(10:02):
scales of justice are up to me in my you know,
little head at that point, my misshaping little uh so.
But that's what I learned. It was like, you know,
it's not it's not up to me to decide to
judge people and what the punishment should be. That's for
somebody else. And according to the scripture, I have right
here Nikki Drake, that's someone is the lord. Oh yeah,
(10:26):
so I was like, according to him, not mine, So
you know, I'm out of the vengeance game.
Speaker 1 (10:32):
The Jack and Nikki Show one two w v a.
Speaker 2 (10:36):
Q talking about people in need. Perhaps you have needed
a favor from a stranger, perhaps a stranger has asked
for a favor from you, and we're going to explore
that now as we take a look at drunks in the.
Speaker 8 (10:50):
News, drunk and disorderly.
Speaker 4 (10:54):
Drunk and disorderly drunk and disorderly drunk and disorderly pree drunk.
Speaker 2 (11:03):
All right, we're gonna take you on a little journey.
Now'll stay with us. This is gonna make sense and
it's gonna pay off. We begin with the story of
some drunk women who are making headlines after they convinced
a man to take them through a drive through okay, yeah,
at a fast food place. These women they wanted to order,
but they didn't have a car, and I guess they
(11:24):
felt like they couldn't go inside because they were drunk.
So you see the bund therein.
Speaker 5 (11:29):
Oh yeah, okay.
Speaker 2 (11:31):
So what they did was they approached a man who
was there in a car and they asked if they
could get into his back seat so they could go
through and place their order. And here's how that played out, Sir.
Speaker 4 (11:44):
Can I order my food?
Speaker 3 (11:47):
Why not?
Speaker 7 (11:48):
They don't know bar soap.
Speaker 5 (11:51):
In the back.
Speaker 1 (11:52):
Thank you so much.
Speaker 7 (11:54):
You're the best guy ever, diet coke one fry.
Speaker 5 (11:58):
Sorry, if you're not going to be in the car,
I'm not going to take the order. I'm in the car.
I'm literally looking at you. Your friend is outside of
the car, so I'm not gonna take the Okay, she
just left. Can I order?
Speaker 7 (12:10):
Now?
Speaker 4 (12:10):
Can you just pay for his food? Y?
Speaker 5 (12:12):
I love that I secured the bag. You're my forever
McDonald's hero.
Speaker 2 (12:18):
Okay, So for what I can gather there, I guess
one of them managed to get in the car and
the other one just walked beside the car. Yeah, and
the person working the drive through was refusing to give
him the food because one of them was standing outside
the car, so she had to walk away. And then
you got this poor jackass driving the car who agreed
to go along with all this, even though he doesn't
know either one of these women, right right?
Speaker 4 (12:42):
Okay?
Speaker 2 (12:44):
And what an odd thing he said, I don't know
you from a bar of soap.
Speaker 5 (12:48):
I've never heard that before.
Speaker 4 (12:49):
I haven't either.
Speaker 2 (12:50):
Yeah, maybe he was drunk. That's a weird thing to say.
Speaker 5 (12:54):
Okay, so this maybe he needs to go through the driver,
maybe he needs.
Speaker 4 (12:58):
To get in the back.
Speaker 2 (13:00):
So this begs the question, though, if you've ever had
a stranger ask you for a favor, Like, let's say
you're this guy driving and these drunk women come up.
I mean, there's an example of that. We want to
know if you've ever been in a situation where a
stranger is ask you for a favor, what that was?
Did you do the favor? But also, have you ever
had to ask somebody for a favor? Because this is
(13:21):
the problem with the I seventy nine scammer. Is it
just kind of ruins that trust that people have in
each other in a polite society. Yep, it's and he's
taking advantage of that. Yes, but we've all been in situations.
Speaker 4 (13:36):
I know I have. I've had to ask people.
Speaker 2 (13:38):
I mean, I've actually been in a situation where I've
realized that I have my wallet on me and I
had no cards, no cash, no ID anything, and I
needed like five bucks yep, to get some gasoline.
Speaker 4 (13:50):
And I've said Hey, you know, if you'll give me
your dress, I'll like, yeah, it's five dollars a go.
I've had that.
Speaker 2 (13:56):
But and then people will ask me for help sometimes,
and I've helped out what I get all the time
from women in grocery stores. Can you get that off
the shelf for me? There's a lot of that I
can't reach that. Can you get that from me?
Speaker 1 (14:10):
Yeah?
Speaker 7 (14:10):
Sure, I get yeah, yeah, yeah, But then do they
ask you to pay for it?
Speaker 2 (14:15):
They asked me to pay for it and then loaded
into their car, and then they asked me to go
to their house and prepare the meal. Yes, because a
lot of times it's like a full meal kit that
they're buying.
Speaker 4 (14:24):
It's multiple a lot.
Speaker 2 (14:26):
They say, look, just go in there and get started,
all right, make the chicken and the steak, and then
get the vegetables going and make some rice.
Speaker 4 (14:33):
I'd like to play to stir fry. Why can't you
do this for me? And I'm like, geez, I'm sorry.
I guess you're right. I'll get started.
Speaker 5 (14:38):
Yeah, it's a good scam, it is.
Speaker 4 (14:41):
But I'm tender hearted, so I fall for it. What
about you, Nikki Drake.
Speaker 7 (14:45):
I was in a position where I was at a
gas station.
Speaker 5 (14:47):
I needed gas, but I didn't have my.
Speaker 7 (14:50):
Wallet, and I was driving from Kent State down to
Marshall because Dave wasn't going to Marshall when I was
going to Kent State and I was panicking. Yeah, and thankfully,
this kind hearted gentleman gave me money for gas.
Speaker 5 (15:09):
I was able to gas up my vehicle.
Speaker 7 (15:10):
I was able to contact somebody back at the dorm
to meet me halfway so I could get my wallet.
Speaker 5 (15:16):
I got this guy's business card, and.
Speaker 7 (15:19):
I sent the information to my parents so that, you know,
they could send him money. Because I looked at the card,
I was like, Oh, he's from Columbus, Ohio. Like, well,
my parents live there, so I'll send them the information.
Turns out goes to my parents' church.
Speaker 5 (15:35):
They know him. His wife sings in the choir with
my mother.
Speaker 2 (15:40):
How about that, Right, in a city of about a
million people, you're bound to bump into somebody go to
church with your parents when you need five bucks.
Speaker 7 (15:49):
But I just happened to bump into him in you know,
a random place between you know, Ohio and West Virginia.
Speaker 5 (15:54):
I can't remember what state I happened to be in
at the time. But yeah, and he a.
Speaker 4 (15:59):
State of an abery, I'm guessing, with a big lump
on your head.
Speaker 5 (16:02):
So that that was the time I had no wallet,
needed money.
Speaker 2 (16:06):
It was fortuitous. Studio lines are open eight eight eight
seven seven seven sixty six forty. You could text us
as well. Again, just curious. You've been approached by a
stranger asking you for a favor?
Speaker 4 (16:17):
What was it? Did you do it? Have you had
to do that?
Speaker 2 (16:20):
Have you been on that end of it where you
are looking for a favor from a stranger? How did
it go? Fascinating stories? Studio text lines open again eight
eight eight seven seven seven sixty six forty. Let's get
to it. You were on the Jack and Nikki Show.
What's your story?
Speaker 7 (16:39):
Yeah?
Speaker 8 (16:39):
Once when I was down Mechanicsville, Maryland, had a guy
that's going from pump to pump at a wall while
asking people to have supper tables. They got over to me.
I said, yeah, but then it all sun became well
it won't start. Can you just give me a ride
down the road?
Speaker 2 (16:59):
Let me let me see I find your And did
you attempt to start it and it wouldn't start?
Speaker 4 (17:02):
Or he just when you said no?
Speaker 8 (17:05):
As soon as I said that, he said, it's not
going to start.
Speaker 2 (17:08):
Oh okay, So as soon as you offered the cables,
he said, don't, it's not gonna start anyway.
Speaker 4 (17:11):
Oh wow.
Speaker 8 (17:12):
So what you do, yeah said, I couldn't take him
because it's company policy, company trust.
Speaker 2 (17:18):
Company policy is that you aren't murdered by a stranger
while you're driving the company vehicle.
Speaker 4 (17:24):
Exactly, yeah, you said, sir.
Speaker 2 (17:27):
It says right here. If you look, this is from
the company. We keep this in the glove box. I
can't be murdered. Yeah, all right, Well I think you
made the right decision there, buddy. That doesn't smell right
at all, does it.
Speaker 8 (17:39):
Nope?
Speaker 2 (17:39):
All right, appreciate it. That's the thing that's so interesting
to me about these situations is it's it's really a
chess game that you're playing with the ultimate punishment attached.
Speaker 4 (17:54):
To it if you get it wrong. Yes, if you
make the wrong.
Speaker 5 (17:56):
Move, the ultimate punishment you.
Speaker 2 (17:58):
End up in a shallow grave some way. Yeah, for
no other reason than you're trying to help somebody.
Speaker 4 (18:05):
They're preying on your good nature and on.
Speaker 5 (18:09):
Your kind heart.
Speaker 2 (18:10):
Yeah, it's really truly awful that people do that. But
what what makes me, especially sad Nikki. What causes me
to weep alone at night is how many people who
are legitimately in need of help, yes, and can't get
it because people are worried about being murdered.
Speaker 5 (18:30):
You know, you're just yeah, being scammed being murdered.
Speaker 4 (18:32):
Right, Yeah, that's exactly right.
Speaker 2 (18:34):
It can go from hey, I lost twenty bucks to
you know again, shallow grape. So it runs the gamut
of ways that you can pay for making the wrong decision. Yeah,
in these situations, and that's too bad.
Speaker 5 (18:46):
It's so unfortunate, it really is.
Speaker 4 (18:48):
All right, let's talk to no all the wayward truck driver. Yeah,
he's in is well, it's very enthusiastic.
Speaker 2 (18:58):
He's in his truck somewhere between Morgantown and Wheeling, even
he doesn't know for sure. And now here's a guy
who should have a lot of these kinds of stories, right,
oh sure, yeah, all right, let's hear what of knowl
what you got?
Speaker 9 (19:10):
Hey, I picked up a hitchhiker in graft And a
couple of years ago and at go March. He was
hitchhiking from DC to Kentucky. He had a dog with him,
had a little sign Peter right in the Kentucky mm hm.
So I picked him up. Yeah, and so I can
take you to Bridgeport as far as I can go.
He didn't ask for money. I put the dog in
the backseat. The dog smelled I think it was a dog.
(19:31):
But anyways, but he said he was working in DC
and this idiot back to his family. I said, you
don't have anybody come and pick you up. He was
sleeping outside. It was like October. I felt bad for
the guy. So I said, I'll take you to Bridgeport
and get your motel room. No I can't because they
won't let the dog in. So I can go with
the dog fane.
Speaker 2 (19:50):
Outside and the whole time the dog is thinking, Wow,
this is the longest walk ever. Are we ever going
to get back to a house? Let me ask you this, Noel,
was there that one awkward moment when each of you
pulled out your knife at the same time to kill
each other, and then you started laughing, and then you
went and had dinner.
Speaker 9 (20:06):
Yeah, yeah, we started laughing and shook hands.
Speaker 3 (20:08):
And the.
Speaker 1 (20:10):
Nerve Center of North Central West Virginia, Jack Loger and
Nicki Drake on one O two WVAQ.
Speaker 2 (20:20):
It's the Jack and Nicki Show, and Nicky's got something
on her mind, you guys, Oh my, Niki Drake found
herself in an interesting situation in a parking lot yesterday.
Speaker 5 (20:36):
This was a few days ago.
Speaker 4 (20:38):
A few days ago, okay?
Speaker 2 (20:38):
And do you want to say which parking lot it
was so give people some context.
Speaker 5 (20:42):
In the Kroger parking lot.
Speaker 2 (20:43):
Broger parking lot here in Sabton, Yes, Saberton Krager parking Lot.
Speaker 4 (20:47):
Okay, Nicki Drake, what happened to you?
Speaker 7 (20:50):
Well, I was coming back to my vehicle loading my
groceries into my trunk, and I noticed the car next
to me.
Speaker 5 (20:56):
The passenger front door was not quite closed.
Speaker 4 (21:01):
It was a jar.
Speaker 5 (21:01):
It was a jar, but not.
Speaker 7 (21:03):
Like super a jar where it was just like you
could tell it wasn't closed all the way.
Speaker 5 (21:08):
And I was like, oh goodness, this is a problem.
Speaker 7 (21:11):
And I wasn't sure what to do, Like do I
go close it like just like a hip bump and
bam it's closed. I put my hand on it and
close it, or because that seems sus right, or do
I have to open it to close it? Because what
if there's something stuck and that's why it's not closed.
(21:31):
Also more questions running through my head. There was a
long list of inner monologue. Yeah, how did this happen?
Because doesn't your car usually beat at you if something
is a jar, But when you lock your car and
walk away from it, So then I'm like, oh, no,
the entire vehicle is unlocked.
Speaker 5 (21:48):
Like, now what do I do if I open it
and lock it and close it? Now?
Speaker 2 (21:55):
You and I have not discussed this whole situation off
the air.
Speaker 5 (22:00):
I don't know what I did.
Speaker 2 (22:02):
I don't, but that's why I want to take a
guess right now? Okay, can I can I go ahead
and guess?
Speaker 5 (22:06):
What do you think I did?
Speaker 4 (22:07):
You finished loading the groceries in your car and just
drove off?
Speaker 7 (22:11):
No? I did not just drive Oh well, I finished
loading the groceries in my vehicle and then I was
just like looking around and there was nobody really around,
but somebody was walking in my general direction.
Speaker 5 (22:24):
It's like, okay, I'm going to stall.
Speaker 7 (22:26):
I'm going to walk my cart back to the thing,
and by the time I get back, I'll know if
this is that person's vehicle or not.
Speaker 5 (22:32):
Turns out it was okay.
Speaker 7 (22:33):
So I was like, hey, I didn't want to just
close your door, but your door's open, and I was
trying to wait around to see what was going to
happen because I didn't want to look suspicious and close
it for you.
Speaker 5 (22:46):
And he was very.
Speaker 7 (22:46):
Thankful and like, oh my gosh, thank you so much.
He went up and closed the door and everything, and
I was all fine and dandy, but I'm wondering, like,
would it have been fine if I just like tried
to close it on my own, or would I've been arrested.
Speaker 2 (22:59):
I think this is an excellent question. It's a question
of parking lot protocol.
Speaker 7 (23:03):
Yeah, protocol, Yes, that's what it is.
Speaker 2 (23:06):
And I want to know how people would handle this situation.
Studio and text lines are open eight eight eight seven
seven seven sixty six forty. You can text us as
well if you'd like.
Speaker 4 (23:17):
If you ever.
Speaker 2 (23:17):
Encountered this, what would be the proper reaction to this?
I mean maybe you haven't encountered it, but just hearing
this for the first time, what would you do? How
would you handle this?
Speaker 4 (23:26):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (23:26):
What is the right thing to do in person's car?
And then I'm still standing there and I'm like, oh gosh.
Speaker 2 (23:31):
There are a whole lot of ways that could have
gone south on you. Let's say that you try the
door handle to see if the entire door of the
entire car is unlocked, and it opens and it is unlocked. Okay,
so then you lock it. You use the door latch,
but lock, and then you slam it. Okay, Well, maybe
they left it unlocked for a reason, right, And now
(23:51):
they come out and they can't get back in their
car because next thought, Jack asks do gooder in the
parking lot lock their door for them, right, So there's that,
or or here's another scenario. You try the door handle,
open it up and find hey, this thing's wide open,
and just as you're doing that, they walk out of
the store and see you standing there with their car
(24:12):
door open. Right, Okay, Now now you're in trouble. They're
probably gonna call the police, and what a likely story
to tell the police. No, no, officer, I wasn't trying
to get into a stranger's car to steal from them.
I was just checking to make sure the doors were
properly locked. Nobody's gonna buy that. Nobody's gonna buy that.
So now you're in all kinds of trouble. You're getting
(24:33):
arrested for breaking into somebody's car. Again, so many ways
this could go south on you, right, Yeah.
Speaker 7 (24:40):
I was really afraid, like if I hip checked it
and it was like the seat belt or something was
blocking it, and then I would have to open it
and like move the seat belt back into the vehicle
and then close it.
Speaker 2 (24:50):
And then even a simple hip check could be potentially
troublesome because the person who owns the car could see
you do that. They come out and go, hey, why
are you slamming your hip into my car? Why are
you getting my vehicle? Why are you touching my vehicle?
I mean, I could happen.
Speaker 5 (25:07):
That was the other thing. Like, I didn't want to
lay hands on it.
Speaker 7 (25:09):
I was like maybe a hip check would on it
discreet way right by just like but touching it with
my hands, Like I think that was the stuff too.
Speaker 4 (25:18):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (25:18):
Yeah, well I don't know. You're lucky that it timed
out the way it did. Yes, that you stalled and
the person actually showed up. Yeah, that was very fortuitous.
Speaker 4 (25:28):
Yes, Yes, it was okay.
Speaker 2 (25:30):
Triple eight, triple seven sixty six forty text us what
do you do in this situation? It is a question
of parking lot etiquette. Jack and Nikki and you guys
on studio and textual lines triple A triple seven sixty
six forty A question of parking lot protocol? What should
you do if you see somebody's door slightly ajar? Nikki
(25:54):
was again filled with confusion in trepidation when this happened
to her just days ago at the Saberton Kroger.
Speaker 4 (26:00):
Sir, you say you have the solution? Is that correct?
Speaker 6 (26:04):
Yes, go into the building and also give you the
description of the car in the license plate, and you
know they had the intercom system and say, hey, look
this car, this license plate has your door slightly, Ajar.
Also the look see if the lights are in the cars,
the battery would go bad on them. But sometimes being
(26:24):
the good Samaritan can backfire on you. But that's what
I would do, trying to locate the owner. If not,
I'd walk away from it.
Speaker 4 (26:32):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (26:32):
Now, I was going to suggest, Nikki, that you go
in and commandeer the PA and try to find this person,
because I know you've done that before to me while
I was shopping in Kroger at that very Kroger. Yeah,
I'm back in the meat section at jack Loger. Please
refer it to the front. Nicky's here but as luck
would have it, the person came out and NICKI was
(26:53):
able to see the person go to the car, so
she didn't have to do that far with it.
Speaker 7 (26:57):
I was nervous to go in and be like, hey,
you know, like their door's open. By don't want you
saying their doors open, because then anybody could come out
and go through their car saying that it's their car,
you know. Like that was the other thing that went
through my head. And I was like, if it's headlights,
that's one thing, you know.
Speaker 2 (27:11):
If it's an open door, though, that's another, that's another.
That's basically like going into Kroger, grabbing the pa, going
attention shoppers, theft opportunity in the parking lot, theft opportunity
in the parking lot. Right, all right, sir, thank you
for the call. We appreciate that you are on the
Jack and Nikki Show. What do you think here?
Speaker 4 (27:28):
Well, you know, I've got to be learning lessons for
everybody out there.
Speaker 7 (27:31):
At some point.
Speaker 9 (27:32):
I wouldn't touched the door, but that's just me. Got
to learn your lesson people.
Speaker 7 (27:37):
So touch the door, stay out of it, you say, yeah.
Speaker 5 (27:40):
Me personally, yeah, no, touchy.
Speaker 4 (27:44):
I would like hip check the door and put a
freaking sens in it the size of my ass.
Speaker 2 (27:50):
So somebody would come out of store and go, hey,
someone's butt grooves on my car door.
Speaker 5 (27:54):
Right then it turns into a Cinderella situation.
Speaker 2 (27:56):
Right then, the guys driving around town for a month
asking women, can you push your butt into my car door?
Speaker 4 (28:04):
Seriously, I'm not being a creep.
Speaker 3 (28:06):
I just.
Speaker 8 (28:08):
It's the new trend.
Speaker 5 (28:09):
You just you just butt up on somebody's car.
Speaker 4 (28:11):
Yeah, butt up on it.
Speaker 1 (28:13):
Take a cheat, you know.
Speaker 4 (28:15):
Hey, thank you so much. We'll see you.
Speaker 5 (28:18):
I love you, crazy cat.
Speaker 4 (28:20):
Oh, we love you too.
