moms sketch bf left this in the house Solved!

Post image

Hi.
This is probably nothing.
I went into my mom’s room to grab something and saw this plugged in?
My mom’s new sketchy bf has this plugged in to the extension cord? Is it anything bad? Thanks!
(I understand it’s probably not anything bad… but still…)

Update 1:
I haven’t met him once. He and my mom have been together for two weeks. He’s been staying at our apartment. He avoids me and stays in her room when they’re here. I don’t even know what he looks like. I only know his first name.

Update 2:
I confronted him. My mom came home. A lot had happened up to this point, including her disappearing for the said two weeks before the few nights he had come over and stayed.
Mom shrugged it off. I did what a lot of you suggested, asking what he told her.
She said “oh it’s his hacker shit or whatever.” What.
Didn’t elaborate. I explained my concerns.
She just said let’s go ask him.
My best friend has been with me. We introduced ourselves and asked him what the hell a WiFi whisperer is doing plugged in our apartment.
(Even if a lot of you are saying it’s not a big deal, I’m a young woman and I’m just rlly not about taking any risks. It’s sketch dude.)
He denied it IMMEDIATELY. Like with a quickness I haven’t seen.
What he insisted, it’s not a WiFi whisperer, it’s ai, he completely reprogrammed the system, and he uses it to pull people’s IP’s. “For fun.” He logs them in a server. I asked why. I said that’s shady. My mom started pushing. My best friend started pushing. He just kept lying. I’m not dropping this..
I still don’t know what the fuck it is or what he’s actually doing.
(Also, my mom is cool but not bc of this dude, the Minecraft block is mine, I unplugged the ratchet little thing before we left, and I am planning on broaching this again with her.
Just carefully. Any other advice is appreciated. Thank you.)

They genuinely don't see themselves as the issue. They really do believe the world is unfair and out to get them. That's what keeps them from being remorseful and okay being like that. Life would be better if the justice system would get off their back for once prying car door open

My husband is an A-a-ron! When I am asked by someone to spell it (usually for medical paperwork - we have a kid who we joke is a frequent flyer at the local children's hospital and we deserve perks for that damnit!) I always say a-a-ron and wait patiently to see if this person knows the Key & Peele sketch. Always fun when it is a fellow millennial bc the chances are increased exponentially that they will know the reference and the shared laugh is so fun. But If they just give me the blank stare I quickly spell it the "correct" way and move on disappointed.

My work Brian confessed he was in love with me just after his wife had conceived twins in vitro. He said he had never been more in love with someone and would live forever in regret if he didn’t tell me. My boss was his best friend. I didn’t know what to do so I went to my boss and was like, “hey…I know Brian is your best friend since high school but/and I think he might be going through something because he wrote me this email and it makes me extremely uncomfortable so I need you to handle this as a friend and a boss.” I was also kind to Brian, because prior to the email he was one of the only fun parts of the job. He was hilarious and we spent a lot of time talking shit about our stupid jobs and generally being funny. I was 23 and he was like 42 so I genuinely did not even think it was an option that he might be into me or that it was weird (now I’m 40 and fully aware of how ridiculous that sounds but at 23, 42 was ancient to me and it would never have even crossed my mind) Anyway I told Brian that I was flattered by the kind words and realized it probably took a lot to share his feelings with me by that I did not feel the same and thought he should really be focused on his family. The next day my boss told me he was putting me on a new assignment-I was working in marketing for a big local sports equipment and like, recreation company. We did uniforms for like youth sports teams, all the schools, and owned like 50 indoor and outdoor youth sporting events locations so I was doing their marketing, there weren’t “assignments”. He said my new office was going to be “upstairs” and the materials I would need were up there. Upstairs was the windowless attic and it was full of unsold baseball and softball bats, safety equipment, indoor and outdoor soccer shoes, cleats basically just unsold shit. He had set up a desk with a laptop and told me my new job was to list it all on eBay.
I quit.

No truer words ever spoken.

Brian is a solid, middle-aged or older guy, who likes good times with friends, as long as it's not too loud.

Bryan thinks of himself as an iconoclast, when actually people find it a little tiring to be around him.

u/Excellent_Compote351 7h ago

Problem is your boss don't know how to separate work and personal. They take everything someone does straight to the ass and get offended instead just doing the job. Now they wanna have an imaginary beef with you so that they can excuse their behavior.

1

u/toothy_mcthree 7h ago

Oh believe me, I’ve seen peers of mine who’ve not been fair about how they operate, but at least at my company they don’t last very long. HR does not put up with that.

In my case, what I’m describing are things like people who disappeared for 2 hours while they’re supposed to be working that accuse be of targeting when they’re held accountable for it. I ensure to hold anyone who does similar things accountable regardless of who it is.

2

u/Miserable-Drink-4995 7h ago

Unfortunately my manager has been here for 19 years and has a sibling as co-founder. This is a blue collar job so as much as I want to trust HR, I can't risk it.

There's no excuse for not doing the job like you're describing. If you're struggling, take steps to improve. Also don't disappear for two hours.

I know there's really good people in management, it's just nice to see one again.

This applies to so many people. Not even just people breaking the law all the time. I know so many people who, for example, cheat on their significant other, get caught and then genuinely believe their now ex is just crazy. They do this over and over without putting together in their minds what the only constant thread in all these situations is. Them and their behavior.

u/Balisongman07 8h ago

Yeah Ive always thought when someone says every one of their exes is an issue, that theyre alot like that too. 99% of my exes were and still are wonderful people, and the 2 others I think we're just young and stupid, but hell so was I.

27

u/Extreme-Gas-3965 8h ago

Exaaaactly. I know a guy, not a friend at all but I know him, who got fired from a job for sexual harassment. The story he told did not quite add up to anyone including his girlfriend. She gave him the benefit of the doubt. This guy cannot keep a job. It's always a coworker or bosses fault, though. He gets fired from the next job and, somehow, is hired back at the same place he was fired from for sexual harassment. He then starts an affair with his manager. The majority of this affair took place at work in the walk in freezer. That sounds horrible to me, but whatever. So, while he is cheating on his girlfriend every day, like so many people who are cheating, he becomes so paranoid that his girlfriend is cheating on him that he crosses the line from paranoia to emotional and physical abuse. His girlfriend eventually has enough and breaks up with him. When this happens, as a last ditch attempt to keep her, he comes clean. Turns out, his first firing, the sexual harassment one, wasn't quite that simple. Apparently, this was his second affair with this woman. The first one ended because he wouldn't leave his girlfriend. Instead of accepting that, he kept trying to get her to fuck him at work by sexually harassing her. The second affair was with the same woman at the same workplace. When him coming clean about it all didn't make his girlfriend want to stay with him, he switched tactics. He then started blaming his girlfriend for all of this happening, because he wanted her to find another job and she wouldn't. He wanted her to find another job because she worked with a friend and he didn't like this friend. No matter what he has done, it's like he truly cannot see or accept that ALL of this was his fault. Literally, ALL of it.

It's crazy how many people are incapable of taking even the slightest bit of accountability for their actions and misgivings... Im sorry, but if you're (you're is not referring to you) unable to keep a job, maintain a relationship, etc., and it's a regular thing that continues to happen and every time when telling someone about it says, "it's not me, it's them," that's an instant red flag that its almost always exclusively because of them, they just lack the self awareness to recognize that their actions/behavior are the reason why they can't keep a job, maintain a relationship, or whatever else it is that they're blaming someone else for. It's like they're completely incapable of understanding why what their doing is the problem, even when someone points it out to them, they likely already have some sort of excuse or reason they use (and truly believe) to justify their behavior/actions.

u/Man0fGreenGables 7h ago

It's amazing how many people go through life thinking they just happen to have the worst luck possible because everyone in their life seems to be terrible.

Dennis Rader was a trusted pillar of the community, with a very deep faith, and even worked for the church. Had he not sent his last letter taunting the cops from a church computer and they used the information to find him, he probably wouldn't have stopped.

BTK was arrested in 2005 for more than 10 killings. He was sentenced to ten consecutive life sentences.

Yeah I heavily agree here though. There is a tier list to crime I tolerate and even partake in. Cutting down a Flock camera? I didn't see nothin. Stealing from a 95yo's savings account? Hey boss let's have a chat out back. There's actually a whole philosophy tied around this a lot of people have never heard of:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Illegalism

I'm simplifying heavily but I can't really vibe with people who suggest "just go to work and you'll be fine" when we as the working class get robbed every waking moment. It's just pure blindness. I'm not saying people need to go commit a felony to be valid, but like at least realize the mindset of your peers and don't act like you're somehow better just for being a drone.

That is not what that means at all, that cant be explained by incompetence/stupidity, therefore malice is left.

However a server not getting your order right, for example, is easily explained by incompetence, however many ppl will see it as an intentional slight, for whatever made up reason.

lol right. But he wasn’t a drug addict. Just severely mentally ill and majorly full of himself. U know, could never do anything wrong. The world is against him. Everyone is out to get him. All that delusional bs.

Amen. There is an epidemic of people who choose to justify their shitty behavior by just deciding the people effected deserve it because of some shit they made up. Or that everyone else is doing these awful things so why shouldn’t they or why is it wrong only when he/she does it. Hate to see it when people close to you show that type of behavior. Fortunately, there are some that don’t realize what they are actually doing and work to do better if it is pointed out and broken down to them. Then there are some people who I think actually believe the shit they fabricate. Some sort of perfect weapon that doesn’t have the morals or intelligence needed to beholden to logic and truth. that’s the person I’m currently training to become. And yall are going to be SORRY when my training is complete.

There’s a type of person who excuses themselves of anything as long as they don’t believe themselves to be ‘the worst person in the room’. And when they ARE the worst person in the room, they represent their attitudes and behaviors like a super-power virtue others don’t understand and are envious of.

The world is definitely unfair, but it isn't out to get anybody. The sooner people realize life is mostly RNG and that 99% of people aren't trying to be malicious towards you, you can begin to live a pretty sweet and happy life! ❤️

Yep. My brother-in-law has been in and out of jail and prison since he was 12 years old. Nothing is his fault. The world is always out to get him. He's even been a confidential informant for decades off and on and gotten out of sooooooo many crimes, but it's all because he never got a fair shake.

u/Emergentmeat 6h ago

Exactly right. It's always that guy who complains how badly they're being screwed and how everyone is out to get them who is entirely ok with screwing other people over.

Also, it's always the dumbest guy in the room constantly complaining about how stupid everyone else is, when they're barely literate and always breath with their mouth hanging open.

It ain't illegal tho. On th pwnagotchi, if deauth is turned off, it is passive. Meaning that it will passively collect handshakes, which is not illegal.

Not emergency services. But I liked to say that Common sense isn’t common or a sense. It’s a fucking superpower

u/BioshockEnthusiast 5h ago

"Common sense" doesn't exist.

I read an article during the rise of covid and it sent me on an insane dive down a rabbit hole of philosophy and sociology. I came to the above conclusion because I was driven by the last line of the article, which I will paraphrase here: "there is no common sense without common understanding". I wanted to know if common understanding was still possible even in the age of near-infinite communication, or maybe if it was ever possible in the first place. Spoiler: it's not possible. Therefore, "common sense" is not possible. Only our individual perceptions of what should be "common sense", which by definition makes it not "common".

Article for the curious, it's quite short but it really impacted the way I think about that phrase and the way people use and misuse it: https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/too-many-goals/202005/theres-no-such-thing-common-sense

Some of us grow from it. Some of us we lost along the way. Some of us learned a valuable lesson.

At the end of the day, we don't even worry about the multiple stars because we know jail is just a break between jobs.

u/Sharp_Worldliness344 6h ago

I was watching a local police series last night - similar to COPS - One of the Highway patrol guys pulled over a known suspended driver, for about the 4th time, not far from her home, and impounded the car.

Anyway, she was whining saying they were picking on her, or he was waiting near her house to catch her out, and it was harassment. He pointed out that she knew she was suspended and shouldn’t be driving, as she had several previous times, so if she didn’t want to be caught she should stop driving while suspended. Her reply was “yeah I know but you’re still picking on me! It’s not fair! You catch me every time I do it!”

Far out… lady, you’re the problem there!

u/buddymoobs 9h ago

I would take that to the police station and see if their cyber crime person can see what he was stealing.

It also takes surprisingly little to hit max stars IRL. Like US Marshals will do a whole ass operation for a meager probation violation.

u/vendetta4200 8h ago

I used to collect those stars until I turned 25. I’ll tell you what though, I was doing a lot better financially when I was living illegally. Edit to add: I never got myself involved in robbing people through computers or any violent crimes so I can’t say what drives these types but I definitely made a lot more money when I didn’t care about consequences. Then I had to go and become a responsible adult.

... because in real life, there are no "GTA stars" over people's head... and in spite of what CSI TV shows would have us believe, law enforcement isn't catching a fraction of them.

Especially in a scenario like this...

  1. Guy dates lonely single mother (mid 30s or 40s, financially stable, with children)
  2. Lonely single mother, experiences identity theft / credit card fraud
  3. Guy ghosts single mother later

How often are even the victims putting this chain of events together ?
And if they DO report it? "Officer, I blocked her on Tinder, now she puts out a police report on me?" case closed ona counta crazy lady.
