Ownage of the year 2013 nomination thread *update with links!*

[brianmanahan]

Nor is it entirely your fault--a complete lack of integrity is the inevitable result of letting a spoiled brat mooch until he's 25.

living at home until 25 is not mooching, provided you pay rent/utilities/living expenses/etc. in many cases it makes more economical sense vs buying/renting your own place.

I think this was an especially good year for Texashiker.

Now, to peruse the current nominations...

I'm thinking this last minute entry has promise.

I don't know what the word "all" means.

Well....
So.....
How the eff do I put this in the poll?

Just default the award to him. Lord knows he's tried hard enough in this thread.

Agreed. I've known some great people who moved in with their parents as adults. Some of them didn't even pay rent for cultural reasons. But that's different from being a dishonest spoiled brat with a superiority complex.

This is now the best self-ownage in a thread about self-ownage.

Yo dawg, I heard you like ownage threads...

That was nominated earlier. The difference is he hasn't continued his argument in this thread like so many of the other nominees.

Ahh, I missed that particular one. It's true he didn't step in it there and do it all over again here like some.

Hahaha, oh man I forgot about the deer one. I'll vote this one. I'm from Michigan (the Upper Peninsula at that); it's pretty easy for me to tell who knows the the hell they're talking about when it comes to deer, so this thread was hilarious (and pathetic too).

If we start including threads like this one from P&N, then none of the finalists will come from ATOT!

Wow, I apparently didn't spend much time here this year or something, I missed like most of the threads nominated. Of course this thread alone was worthy.

That thread had a couple.

The Paul Walker thread was a pretty good example of Alkemyst talking out of his ass continually.

I saw someone suggested the NYC bike/Range Rover thread but that doesn't qualify as its clear that was just trolling.

That was nominated earlier. The difference is he hasn't continued his argument in this thread like so many of the other nominees.

Nah, he has to have the spotlight to himself, don't worry he'll make another few threads about it next year.

So true.
We simply can't compete with those levels of insanity.
Much like in real politics, they can argue about what the definition of "is" is.
Or "all" is, in this case.

Thread 1: You can't sell your condo because it's underwater. You've never rented out property before, so you want advice on how to find tenants, write a lease, and run credit/background checks.

Thread 2: Four months after becoming an accidental landlord who doesn't know how to run a credit check, you suddenly have extensive experience with multiple "units" and tenants.

Thread 3: You claim that you owned rental property before buying your first home, a nonsensical lie that's trivially disproved by thread 1. You also claim that the condo in thread 1 was not your first home, a lie debunked by the timeline in this post: You lived with mommy and daddy until buying your first home in 2004, lived there for 5 years until 2009, then moved out of state and posted thread 1.

You've also admitted to tax fraud and attempting to defraud your HOA, so your dishonesty is disappointing but not particularly surprising. Nor is it entirely your fault--a complete lack of integrity is the inevitable result of letting a spoiled brat mooch until he's 25.

This is some grade A ownage here.

 

[OCGuy]

Self-ownage isn't just being incorrect about something, although that is a big part of it. P&N kids with average intelligence or worse are a dime a dozen. The ingredients to an award winning thread also include:

- The thread creator obviously expecting ATOT to agree with whatever they did/think/etc. Not a hint of doubt in OP. You can almost feel the shock in their first few posts as the replies start going sideways

- Someone more qualified or experienced with the subject chiming in

- The thread creator refusing to change their mind even after being confronted with contrary evidence, and/or the majority of responses agreeing that OP is wrong. The longer they stick around in the thread trying to dig out or double-down the better.

- A certain trainwreck quality that is hard to explain, but you know it when you see it

Just collate the links into the first post for now.

Doesn't the recursion just break everything though?

If I put the links in the OP, people just vote on those instead of nominating new ones. ATOT's ADD has been proven many times over.

Thread 1: You can't sell your condo because it's underwater. You've never rented out property before, so you want advice on how to find tenants, write a lease, and run credit/background checks.

Underwater means you owe more to your mortgage than your house is worth. Never my situation. You are confusing me not wanting to sell during a dip in the market and realizing a loss instead of a profit. I elected to not sell it due to price I paid vs current market price rather than an unfavorable mortgage balance. Instead I hung onto the place although I considered selling it. That is not underwater, at least get the term correct before you accuse someone.

And whats wrong with asking for advice here? This forum for the most part is full of smart and resourceful people and most of my threads here are of me seeking a solution or answer to a question. I posted that question without alluding to any of my own experience, which was irrelevant.

Thread 2: Four months after becoming an accidental landlord who doesn't know how to run a credit check, you suddenly have extensive experience with multiple "units" and tenants.

Accidental landlord... dont even know what that means. And I said in my previous thread that I have experience from a family business that I was involved with since my teens, learning from my father who owns several residential and commercial properties. This experience predates my own purchase of first investment property. I don't have to own half a city block to be able to dispense sage advice. Nor do I have to acquire said experience firsthand either; learning from others (especially family) is perfectly acceptable. Before I even owned my first place, I already had experience with evictions, problem tenants and even gave testimony in court as an agent of my dad's company when we liquidated a security deposit from a messy tenant who later sued us.

Thread 3: You claim that you owned rental property before buying your first home, a nonsensical lie that's trivially disproved by thread 1. You also claim that the condo in thread 1 was not your first home, a lie debunked by the timeline in this post: You lived with mommy and daddy until buying your first home in 2004, lived there for 5 years until 2009, then moved out of state and posted thread 1.

I'm sorry I don't chronicle every purchase/sale/tenant change/life event here so you can catalog them and build a proper and accurate timeline of my life. And again, first purchase does not necessarily equal first home. Sorry if I use those words interchangeably and confuse you My cousin purchased his first property and in almost 10 years he has owned it, has never lived in it. It has been investment property since day 1. I promise you that my life is more complex than the details I post here. If I omit details or shorten/simplify a story, it is so I can post something quickly without needing to write half an autobiography so years later someone like you can dredge all of this up and claim BS on my part when some facts don't add up.

You've also admitted to tax fraud

You've never done any "creative accounting", taken a deduction larger than you deserved or worked a job under the table? Alrite this one I admit to, crucify me if you will.

and attempting to defraud your HOA,

If you read that thread, the HOA failed to notify property owners of creation and subsequent enforcement of a bylaw and were going to penalize us for each month we were out of compliance. So I considered backdating the current lease and give them that as evidence (albeit falsified) that I was in compliance all along. So they fail to inform us of a new law and now want charge us penalties for non-compliance? Bullshit. I'm not going to pay penalties in this situation where they fucked it up. In any event, the HOA granted amnesty to all owners once they realized they failed to properly notify.

so your dishonesty is disappointing but not particularly surprising. Nor is it entirely your fault--a complete lack of integrity is the inevitable result of letting a spoiled brat mooch until he's 25.

Fuck you and you have no idea about me and my family. I lived at home until mid-20s but I was no mooch. Instead of paying rent and having room-mates, I rented from family. Why make some other landlord rich and have to live in ghetto apartments with room-mates like my other friends did? Instead I have family that get along with me and we also happen to be in financial agreement on many levels. I got to enjoy living at home, home cooking and many other perks. I still paid rent, paid utilities and had responsibilities above and beyond what I would have in a roommate situation such as taking care of an elderly grandmother and other familial duties. My father wasn't going to help out a son that was a deadbeat pot-smoking couch surfer. He was only going to help me and give me a favorable living arrangement so I could further myself and accelerate past others; but I had to be doing something with my life. True to that point, I worked a full time job, worked an internship and was a full time student in that time. A few months after my 24th birthday I purchased my first property with a six figure down payment (all funded my from own savings) and mortgaged the rest. I don't expect you to understand my living arrangement or my family's generosity but don't call me a mooch.

Another one who doesn't want to go along with the spirit of the thread. Thread is NOT about you rehashing everything you have ever written and all of your life. You've been nominated. That's all.

Correction: the bitch lied and lotus asked for evidences to see the whole thing in context. I NEVER said he supported me in any way (we ususually don't see eyes to eyes). This is what I said:

lotus asked for evidences

At least have the decency to post what I REALLY said, eh?

Here are THE FACTS:

At least I did not open my mouth and accuse people without anything to back up.

At least I did not open my mouth and talk all big and all and pretend to take the challenge yet run away like a bitch.


Funny how you "forgot" to mention that. I want to say more but remember you said not to bring the challenge in detail and in public again so the readers can see the whole picture?

The long thread is till there, readers can read the whole thing and see who owned who. Who was the fucking liar and who was telling the truth. That's my points.


Bottom line: (from my point of view to that bitch)

1. Post the vile PMs list in this thread for everyone to see. I am still waiting.

2. The challenge is still on. Take it or STFU and being pwned forever, don't be a stinky pussy.

And still another one. Thread is NOT about you rehashing your grudges. Play nice or stay out.

I just can't get into YATHVT, so I missed that one. He makes this comment early on "Why do I have to keep repeating that I am not anti-vaccine?" Of course, every single anti-vaccine thread that he starts shows us otherwise.

It's like Incorruptible constantly claiming "I am not anti-muslim!" Despite his entire posting history showing otherwise.

moonbeam is right--some people have a mental disorder.
