Boss Made Fun Of A Kid With Down’s Syndrome, So Worker Got Revenge And Ruined His Entire Life

I’m not sure there is a worse thing a person could do – at least not keeping it legal – that to be awful to a child with a developmental disability.

Seriously, what kind of monster would find that a good way to pass the time?

OP tell us his boss is a horrible person, and his actions at the beginning of this story seem to confirm that as fact.

My former boss is the worst human being I’ve ever met. He did all sorts of things to mess with anyone he didn’t like.

So a while ago I was at a family event in a local park, walking with a young boy from our family who is developmentally disabled with Down’s syndrome (“Ben”).

Ben does fairly well all things considered, but he’s always been sensitive to anyone making fun of the way he looks or his condition.

We are just having a good time on our little stroll, Ben and I both enjoying the day.

Along comes my boss walking toward us. I’ll call him “Rob”. I cringe at seeing him but smile and say hello to play nice.

Rob: There’s something you don’t see every day! A pair of ugly retards walking together!

Ben bursts into tears as Rob laughs and walks off. I deal with Ben and ignore Rob. I’m super mad and trying to calm Ben down because for a few minutes he was totally distraught.

Finally I get Ben to focus on how he has me and a lot of other awesome friends and family and that Rob is a stranger and what he thinks doesn’t matter.

He wanted to get back at him, but didn’t want to get fired – so a member of his family stepped in.

We walked some more and I saw that Rob was at the park with his wife and teen daughter having a cookout and he had apparently been on his way back to his family from a trip to the toilet when he saw us.

Back to being super mad. I went back to our gathering and talked to an adult cousin of mine, “Jake”, telling him what happened. Jake wanted to get revenge on Rob, but I reminded him that this was my boss.

I didn’t want Rob to be able to know the revenge had anything to do with me because then he’d make my work life even worse than he already had.

OP provided the details about his boss, the family member took it home.

So Jake asked me for anything I knew about Rob that might help.

I told Jake a bunch of things about Rob, but the relevant info here is that Rob liked to drink a particular kind of locally made beer at a certain bar.

Rob had talked of having drank there on the previous Friday night while his wife and daughter were away visiting her family.

Also, Rob had recently told a story at work about his wife’s obsession with a particular little green fictional character. Let’s call it Yaby Boda. Turns out his wife kept a stuffed Yaby Boda on their bed at all times.

I wasn’t there for the revenge setup itself because I didn’t want Rob to see me, but Jake filled in the details afterward. It was basically this:

Jake approached Rob and put an arm around his shoulders and tried to kiss him. Rob pushes him off.

With gusto.

Rob: What are you doing!?

Rob’s family is now paying attention.

Jake: I am just so excited to see you, sweetie! Friday night was so amazing!

Rob: What are you talking about?

Jake: Seriously, you’re going to act like you don’t remember now? I know you were a bit tipsy after all of those (specific local beers) at the (local bar), but certainly you remember what happened later…

Rob: Nothing happened later! Or ever! I don’t even know your name!

Jake: Really? You were screaming it on Friday.

Rob: (turning red) You lying son of a…

Rob’s wife (interrupting): Listen, I don’t know who you are, but this is my husband. I’m sure you have him mistaken for someone else. Please just leave us alone.

Jake: Oh no, I’m not mistaken. We had the best s— ever on Friday night and now he’s acting like he doesn’t even know me!

Rob’s wife: I told you, this is my husband. You’re mistaken.

Jake: Oh, maybe I am. I guess it was someone else who took me back to his place on (Rob’s street) and had great *** with me on the bed right next to Yaby Boda. Sorry.

Jake turns and walks away.

Rob’s wife: Oh my god, Rob, what the hell is wrong with you!? Really!?

Now, his boss is getting a divorce and living alone in an apartment.

Already long story made a bit shorter, Rob’s wife wasn’t real happy with him anyway and this was apparently the tipping point that made her file for divorce soon thereafter.

Rob frequently complained at work in the following months about how he didn’t care about his wife but really missed his daughter and how much it sucked to live in his new place compared to his old home.

Every time he complained about his lack of a home life at work, I knew he did it to himself when he was mean to a developmentally disabled kid.

The best part is he never figured out I was involved at all.

Everyone but the boss wins! And all is right with the world.

Apparently there are a lot of people out there with no manners.

There are so many good things about knowing these people.

But there are too many folks who think they must be watched.

This is a fantastic idea.

After all, they’re just human beings in their squishy centers.

It’s true that it’s tough to feel sorry for someone like this.

They really don’t inspire much in the way of kindness at all.
