r/Offmychest I Paralyzed a Drunk College Girl

"my life is ruined" Yes, if you get piss drunk and walk straight into a road and get hit by a car, it is YOUR OWN fault. She was the only person to blame.

Story 1: Man…the really sad thing is, and i say this as gently as possible: this is 10000% on the girl… SHE was drunk, SHE stumbled into the road and SHE is the reason she got hurt… I seriously feel awful for Op :/ hope he’s doing better

The person who gets hurt isn't always the victim.

I remember when family members tried to blame and sue my uncle's job for his death. Thing is, he passed away when sleeping. Basically he finished his job (which he absolutely loved) and went to take a short nap. People in his field (construction - electrician) sleep and nap all the time. He sat in a chair, folded his arms and nodded off. It was an hr before a coworker finally shook him. Only to find out he didnt have a pulse. The reason why no one shook him earlier was because people wanted to let him rest. They had no reason to think he would just die like that. There was no way a job could have predicted that, especially since that kind of death runs in the family. Anyways, the family tired to sue but it didnt go through. They still like its the jobs fault but honestly, it isnt. I feel bad for the guys on the site, must have been very tramatizing for them.

Poor OP, he should not take the guilt upon himself. Unfortunately she was drunk and stumbled, OP didn't mean it of course. It's not manslaughter either. She lived and took her own, not him. Wishing OP peace moving forward..

Prank story is instant karma. The guy wanting to do the blackmail got scarred for life by seeing his dad going at it with other dude and OP being complicit with the attempted crime by lending his phone(Which would put him into legal troubles too btw) has heavy secret to carry for next few decades. Well earned.

Respectable and commendable how quickly and effectively the higher up in the second post dealt with workplace bullying, if only every business could be filled with people like him.

Story 3: so he definitely said he didn’t want to see two dudes going at it, not that he didn’t want to blackmail them. He very much handed his phone over and was the lookout 🤷🏻‍♀️ I’m sure the secret of his friend’s dad not only cheating but with a man is a crazy one to bear, that’s probably the main part here, but definitely the right thing to do would’ve been to call his friend out and just leave

14:22 it's not you vs your partner - it's you and your partner vs the baby

Last words; I hope OP knows how much comfort he brought to the family left behind. Losing someone is already hard enough as it is when you know it's coming and have time to process and accept it. When it's sudden and unexpected, it's even more traumatic.
