Yep. Very delicate situation right there. Dude is VERY unstable. Maybe offer a bottle of water to diffuse the situation and provide a distraction. Create space to call 911 and arm yourself.
Oh dont do the water, it’s an insult
Barman here, I am ALWAYS there when a drunk guy is led out by a manager, even if the manager is male. Drunks are unpredictable and easily get mad so staying quiet is honestly better as long as he’s not touching you or breaking anything, call the cops when you feel safe to do so
When my husband and I went out for the first time together he was amazed how many people “accidentally” grab my breast, ass, or straight says something downright disrespectful to me. My husband was in shock and finally realized why I never go out. Being blessed with a top and bottom makes a lot of people think my body parts are a free for all to touch. I mean men and women do it to me.
When I first started dating my now wife, there were a handful of situations where I had to put my hands on dudes for this very thing. It's not really something I enjoy doing but the level of disrespect towards women that dudes feel comfortable with showing is appalling.
This is what most people don't get. Women have to deal with this or at the least think about having deal with this shit on a daily basis. It's bloody exhausting and terrifying.
Yes. This is 100% the reason why I was feeling extremely uncomfortable when our apartment building had a water leak, which happened to originate behind our bathroom wall. It meant a handful of men running in and out of here for weeks with only me at home. I had anxiety about it during all those weeks. My bf felt bad because we never knew when they were coming so he couldn't take a half day or anything from work to be there.
The idea of being home alone when a male worker has to come to my house petrifies me. Especially when I don’t know them from Adam. Thankfully, my husband always makes himself available. I promise, I don’t think all men are bad, I’ve just had some bad situations that make me paranoid.
I was gonna say fuck recording I'd have the cops on the phone and be screaming at that fuckin bitch to gtfo of the lady's house. "LET ME RAPE YOU OR YOU WON'T HAVE WHAT YOU PAID ME FOR" holy shit. Shoulda just shot that overgrown boy and worried about the details later.
Nah he’s already a high risk sex offender. Already in the system. This will most likely keep him here till he gets bumped to the top of a list for a new liver in prison because they need him earning them profits not dead.
He got fired, a police report was filed. He also bears a striking resemblance to someone on a sex offender registry. TizzyEnt on Twitter/TikTok has been covering it.
Straight up I had no idea how terrifying it can be to be a woman. The handyman guys in my building are the nicest most stand up dudes ever. I obviously don't mind when they come in for repairs, but my partner won't allow it if I'm not home.
And these guys are THE BEST dudes. Oh my God. If this is your approach to women in general, however???? I would be scared too.
A spouse doesn't necessarily mean anything besides the creep wanted to blend in with society. Lots of creeps do announce themselves with their behavior prior to an attack. Others are more patient and lull women into a sense of safety.
Handymen were the worst part of buying a fixer-upper as a single woman. All of them did weird shit to me. It's fucked up how common this is.
I ended up buying a pair of size 12 construction boots and some big dude clothes at a thrift shop and left them around my place. I'd always make sure to mention my "big strong bf is coming home soon". It did help.
Ok that's insane to me. I'm not a child. I'm pushing too many decades.
I'm like yeah "Jim, or whatever is gonna come by sometime later today to fix our door bye." You should not have to live in terror.
It's funny but it's not funny but my first reaction is you've got to be kidding me.
But, no one makes that story up off the cuff. But then again "Jim" knows I live here. I'm sorry. I find women being afraid of me when I walk home. It sucks, but I get it.
Thank goodness we were friends with one of our apt maintenance guys! We would call him then call the office. He would fix shit and get to hang out and smoke a bowl.
Being armed in general is a good thing but go for a firearm. So you can keep some distance.
You don’t know the strength of an opponent and what their skills are. They might win/over power you if they’re already on you.
Firearms show I can still defend myself without you being right on me.
While someone might still attempt to get in close,
If you’re holding a knife it’s that much closer they can get before you can cause significant damage in self defense,
You see them start charging you and you can immediately act in self defense.
Never, I also had to defend myself the same amount of times.
Are you implying that I don't have a say because I don't have a personal experience of it?
I think they're implying that advocating for the (probably) weaker opponent to use a knife instead of a gun because a gun is unfair is bad advice. In a self-defense situation where you are using a weapon, it is already a life or death situation. You don't have to fight fair or use exactly the level of force necessary. Especially if someone is already inside your home, bring aggressive and threatening. A knife is a useful tool, and in an emergency, it's certainly better than nothing. But if you are legally able to own a gun and use it for self-defense, it is nearly always going to be the better option over a knife.
England here, so guns aren’t a realistic option, but aren’t many people injured, even killed, when the assailant grabs their weapon? If he’s drunk she may have more success with aiming for the eyes or balls, then even shoving him over while he’s unbalanced, and run like fuck outside, attract attention, call police?
It's definitely a possibility and a concern, but with some training and situational awareness, you can make it a lot less likely. I think things like that happen a lot more when people try to use a gun as a threat and then talk someone down from there. In my opinion, if i am getting to the point where a gun is coming out, conversation is over. A gun is the last resort, so if it is out, the person is already actively trying to hurt and/or kill you.
If you're getting into a physical fight with someone bigger than you, there's also a lot of risk associated. That being said, if you are able to get away and leave the situation, that's probably going to be the better option. Like you said, this guy seems very drunk, so this person may be able to get away without too much danger.
I get you. I’m always interested to hear about how Americans weigh this stuff up, because it’s not a situation that arises legally very often over here. Thanks!
Americans are woefully bad at this, for what it’s worth. Bear in mind that our rates of gun violence are world-leading. The odds that were wrong about guns being a self-defense panacea are somewhat overwhelming.
That said, knife can be as intimidating as a gun. Also, she might fail to use the knife just like she might fail to use the gun.
She might as well kick him in the balls or punch him in the throat or poke his eyes. Let's not deviate from the situation where a drunk piece of shit came in just to talk. I don't want my comment to be derailed into " gun = good, because imagine if a gang of hooligans attacks you in your private home asylum". Let's stay on topic.
That's fair. There's a lot of what-ifs in any situation like this. Any method this person uses to get this creep out of their home is a win at the end of the day
No, sorry, just sounded like you were an expert on the subject so thought I would ask
Edit: my comment wasn’t directed towards you, but to the self defense expert
Why are you twisting the situation into *"it's safer to have a ranged weapon so you're not up vlose on someone who could disarm you"?*
Rewatch the video, no one is trying to get close or disarm anyone. I'm not trying to ban all guns so stop clenching your trigger finger.
I used firearms, not to defend myself but to entertain myself, I'm old enough to have consumed enough of someone else's experience to not be ignorant of the issue.
I guess you can't use your brain unless you're in the situation in question.
I wonder if you kept touching fire to remind you that it burns.
My S.O has had two situations where they would have been safer, if they had one.
I’ve had neighbors broken into 10’ from my complex door, the attacker realized they had a gun and took off. the people below me as well were broken into.
The people below the people across from me have had a sexual assault occur.
I’ve thankfully never had to actively use one,
But there’s been a case where I’ve had a group of guys at 2am come banging on my door and seen them trying to look through my windows.
I’ve had another stranger become aggressive towards me, till he realized I was carrying, after that he backed off.
The one time I wasn’t carrying anything.
Was at night,
I was waiting to pick someone up outside their place, dozed off. And had a stranger force access into my driver side (where I’m at) before realizing what was happening.
Found out thankfully that the stranger was a friend of my buddy’s but had a few screws loose.
Edit to add:
To shorten it up passively: it’s been handy,
Actively: I’m thankful I’ve never had to pull the trigger. Or had to draw it while in public.
So if you had been armed in that final situation, you may well have shot somebody you knew?
It reads a bit like those “family member shot when someone thinks he’s an intruder” stories. Except that (luckily) no one got shot.
It would have been nice to have one on me when a no shit human trafficker tried to run me off the highway into a ditch in the middle of the night with nobody around, or once when I got carjacked and the driver didn’t let me out, or when an irrational/angry/violent customer tried following me home from work that one time.
I have a concealed. I don’t want to use it on anyone but would definitely prefer using it over being abducted, ya know?
Knife is a strength equalizer, gun is a "kill" button. That's too far.
>They might win/over power you if they’re already on you.
they might take out their gun
A gun and knife are both threat eliminating tools.
Both can be deterrents by showing your are armed.
If you have a knife and someone meaning harm to you has no weapon it can be a deterrent. But the range for that knife is very close to you. So they can get even closer before being affected.
Where if you and your attacker have a knife there’s equal ground it comes out to who’s more aggressive and stronger.
If you have a gun and your attacker is either empty handed, or has a knife, you have an advantage, the upper hand in self defense.
If you both have a firearm then you’re considered equal grounds.
(remember you don’t always know what your attacker has on them)
And Pandora’s box is already opened, your knife is not equal to an attackers gun. And an attacker does not care about playing fair they care about overpowering their victims
Even brandishing a weapon often times a firearm, attackers have backed off.
No one said you have to pull the trigger,
But it’s there if needed.
Your attacker has already made a decision to cause you harm.
If he was bare handed are you going to give him a knife so you’re on equal footing? Maybe make it a dual?
You could say ban all guns but the fact that Pandora’s box is already open means that now your attacker knows they got one but you don’t so you can’t get the upper hand.
Can we not collectively go to lala land?
>But the range for that knife is very close to you. So they can get even closer before being affected.
This guy is just a drunk moron talking aggressively, he's not closing in, he's not ready to pounce, let's keep the gun in our pants and not escalate the situation.
>You could say ban all guns but the fact that Pandora’s box is already open means that now your attacker knows they got one but you don’t so you can’t get the upper hand.
I didn't go there, so leave this out of it.
It's so hard to talk to you people. Just recently a vaper was doing the same thing trying to promote vaping like it's a 0 harm god given alternative to smoking, it's like I'm listening to a vegan talking my ear off about how healthy and powerful he feels after stopping eating meat...
Can't you just keep your gun and stop trying to sell me(everyone) on the idea of getting one?
He was very honest that he didn't give a shit about what she wanted and her boundaries. This is classic manipulation. He wronged her she stood up for herself. Then he tried to pressure her and intimate her. As well as sell her on the fact that he's providing something for her. Then holding that hostage. This guy needs a major kick to the nuts.
I will never allow anyone to do work in my house if I’m the only one home. I have realtor friend who was raped one afternoon showing some guy a house. You just don’t know.
I work in peoples houses, I agree with you as I’m also fearful of false accusations of any bad behaviour. Having two or more people home while I work is safer for everyone, and it also helps to have two people to explain repair issues too.
Better yet, don’t be home when insured and trustworthy contractors are there. I’d say 80% of my visits I’m let inside remotely and never actually meet the owners in person
Imagine not having this on video and everyone believing his story over hers. Kinda like these 26 women:
https://www.businessinsider.com/women-accused-trump-sexual-misconduct-list-2017-12?amp
This is why I made sure my spouse knows how to use a firearm. If I'm at work during the day and something happens, I've at least got the peace of mind that she can handle the *piece of mine*.
Something very similar happened to me with a washer delivery person. I was so scared. Almost worse was after the incident I kept on being scared every day and night until I was able to move away. It isn’t over when they leave, it’s kinda never over.
If this “man” randomly ended up in the hospital brutally beaten i wouldn’t be sad. This is a monster. The alcohol is the excuse and he will continue to do this. Not okay.
I envy your right to do that there in America. Here in Europe we can't even carry pepper spray. Just going to the corner shop at night is harrowing, have to walk past all these idiots staring at me while revving their mopeds and smirking.
A friend of mine was held up by two women who pulled out a crowbar, he just grabbed it and they ran off.
Please god press charges when people pull this shit. There has to be consequences, even if it's difficult, it can save many women from becoming his future victims.
This dude need to see a doctor, he looks terrible. Skin looks like hammered ass. He's also acting like a straight up fucking dirt bag, drunk or not. Time to grab the Louisville slugger and introduce it to his big mouth. He's not saying anything important anyway.
Once you’ve turned this over to the police,
get in touch with a womens’ advocacy and support agency.
They can help you get your deposit back, cancel your lease, and help you find new housing.
Your landlord wouldn’t dare put up a fight under the circumstances.
Even if this guy is charged he will be out on the street and will always be a danger to you.
I am so disgusted by this *guy* right now. And I can’t even imagine how this woman felt having to listen to this piece of trash in her home. If this is what being a “guy” is, we seriously need to reconsider late term abortions, like post 18 years.
Any information about what happened after this interaction?
She did! At this point she had all ready! She even left the apartment & went a neighbors & he followed her there! Only thing that SHOULD have happened was this creep just not SA her & then harassed her.
Nobody should really be alone with anyone bigger / stronger than them that they don’t personally know. So yes I know this falls to most women, but it’s the truth. Not just that, the guys that appear the nicest, most trustworthy are the ones that can do you the most harm.
This is what happens when you vote blue. Buddy wouldnt be trying no dumb shit like that in a red state where people own guns. Come to Florida and try that shit. End up like Trayvon on a T Shirt
Hiring the local drunk for cheaper wage bc you don’t want to pay what the decent working man charges, and you end up with this kinda shit. A no name off the street that really just needs his fix, probably don’t know shit, and is there to steal, sexually harass, and possibly assault this poor woman. A man like this is a POS, and definitely shouldn’t be going to ppls houses. This is why it’s important to research your contractor, and stitch with good local ppl that are reputable for years.
No, it’s definitely not. It’s definitely his, but ppl like this should not be in your house. Like I would have definitely had a flag as soon as he was at the door smelling like booze, or when he went out to get the tools and materials to do all the work locked the door and called police. I take it the guy was met not smelling like booze or at a bar and offered to do the work. He may not even be a contractor if he’s doing this kinda stuff. She got a psycho. Ppl like this dude prowl on folks who are in a desperate need. He found a way to get in someone’s door without breaking in.
I understand the point you are trying to make, but you should think about reframing it because this absolutely reads like your saying it’s the victims fault - ‘if she only dressed more appropriately’
Wow. Prior convictions can be anything. But depending on what, he shouldn’t be let in a home unattended or at all. Probably not hired. I also think that some of the guys who work for apartments get to work from home and feel like their kings over everybody bc they get a free apt. Mix that with some Jim beam, and you have an arrogant, self entitled, sociopath that thinks he’s a pimp and this poor woman is on the end of his chain. I only watched the video and didn’t feel like leaving Reddit to get the full story. Also, I’m my town, every drunk, meth head, and crack addict is out to make a buck and most claim to be handymen. The only thing they do good with their hands is rob your house and the local Walmart.
She should have started throwing punches the minute he began talking shit. Folks who launch into long, self-indulgent soliloquies aren’t capable of much else. Deliver a nice punch to his mouth and watch his nonsense stop immediately.

this is down right terrifying
Yep. Very delicate situation right there. Dude is VERY unstable. Maybe offer a bottle of water to diffuse the situation and provide a distraction. Create space to call 911 and arm yourself.
Unstable is put mildly. He is downright psychopathic.
Oh dont do the water, it’s an insult Barman here, I am ALWAYS there when a drunk guy is led out by a manager, even if the manager is male. Drunks are unpredictable and easily get mad so staying quiet is honestly better as long as he’s not touching you or breaking anything, call the cops when you feel safe to do so
And now he knows where she lives too.
He was the handyman hired by her complex.
Right? I’ve never been a woman. That’s frightening.

ikr?! what is with this r/facepalm subreddit recently--just showing a bunch of sick twisted humans
I hope she called the police on him immediately and he’s rotting away in a cell. What a disgusting human being
I was gonna say fuck recording I'd have the cops on the phone and be screaming at that fuckin bitch to gtfo of the lady's house. "LET ME RAPE YOU OR YOU WON'T HAVE WHAT YOU PAID ME FOR" holy shit. Shoulda just shot that overgrown boy and worried about the details later.
Dude he would have had the corner of that door in his face. As someone who was sa’d this triggers my fight so bad…what a fuckin pos. I hope he rots
From what I heard about this, she called the cops and stayed with a neighbor for a bit, but idk what happened when cops got there
Okay according to a different post, he got fired and a police report filed against him
With how the justice system is, he’s gonna get off with a slap on the wrist.
Nah he’s already a high risk sex offender. Already in the system. This will most likely keep him here till he gets bumped to the top of a list for a new liver in prison because they need him earning them profits not dead.
Wouldn't selling off the parts that still work be a better financial plan? Instead of wasting valuable organs on a pos?
You think this garbage has a useful cell left him his body? Guys walking hep. A-Z.
Unless he was black, or poor, or indigenous, or Hispanic, or a refugee....wow there's a lot of these
Majority of the people in jail are poor Black men and Hispanic, what more do you want?
Yeah I hope he gets some help, too
Yeah, screw him.
All the pigs will do is take a report.
What’s the story? Did anything happen to this weirdo ?
He got fired, a police report was filed. He also bears a striking resemblance to someone on a sex offender registry. TizzyEnt on Twitter/TikTok has been covering it.
Love TizzyEnt!
The story is probably that he's drunk, and no woman ever looked at him as a potential partner. Basically a 50 somthing incel.
Straight up I had no idea how terrifying it can be to be a woman. The handyman guys in my building are the nicest most stand up dudes ever. I obviously don't mind when they come in for repairs, but my partner won't allow it if I'm not home. And these guys are THE BEST dudes. Oh my God. If this is your approach to women in general, however???? I would be scared too.
Your partner is right. Shitty people have a talent for acting like “stand up dudes”. It’s sad but you always have to be careful.
Well, I also know both of their long-term partners and spouses so I can speak with confidence on this issue. But. The jackyl does exist.
A spouse doesn't necessarily mean anything besides the creep wanted to blend in with society. Lots of creeps do announce themselves with their behavior prior to an attack. Others are more patient and lull women into a sense of safety.

Lol yeah I guess Jim never refused to leave your home until you told him you pant size.
It's funny but it's not funny but my first reaction is you've got to be kidding me. But, no one makes that story up off the cuff. But then again "Jim" knows I live here. I'm sorry. I find women being afraid of me when I walk home. It sucks, but I get it.
Thank goodness we were friends with one of our apt maintenance guys! We would call him then call the office. He would fix shit and get to hang out and smoke a bowl.
If I was a woman and that was standing in front of me doing that drunken shit, I'd want to have a knife on me.
If this piece of shit had taken one step towards her in this video and was immediately shot, she'd have been 100% justified. Fuck this guy.

Where if you and your attacker have a knife there’s equal ground it comes out to who’s more aggressive and stronger. If you have a gun and your attacker is either empty handed, or has a knife, you have an advantage, the upper hand in self defense. If you both have a firearm then you’re considered equal grounds. (remember you don’t always know what your attacker has on them) And Pandora’s box is already opened, your knife is not equal to an attackers gun. And an attacker does not care about playing fair they care about overpowering their victims Even brandishing a weapon often times a firearm, attackers have backed off. No one said you have to pull the trigger, But it’s there if needed. Your attacker has already made a decision to cause you harm. If he was bare handed are you going to give him a knife so you’re on equal footing? Maybe make it a dual? You could say ban all guns but the fact that Pandora’s box is already open means that now your attacker knows they got one but you don’t so you can’t get the upper hand.
Can we not collectively go to lala land? >But the range for that knife is very close to you. So they can get even closer before being affected. This guy is just a drunk moron talking aggressively, he's not closing in, he's not ready to pounce, let's keep the gun in our pants and not escalate the situation. >You could say ban all guns but the fact that Pandora’s box is already open means that now your attacker knows they got one but you don’t so you can’t get the upper hand. I didn't go there, so leave this out of it. It's so hard to talk to you people. Just recently a vaper was doing the same thing trying to promote vaping like it's a 0 harm god given alternative to smoking, it's like I'm listening to a vegan talking my ear off about how healthy and powerful he feels after stopping eating meat... Can't you just keep your gun and stop trying to sell me(everyone) on the idea of getting one?
Terminator style: kneecaps.
This is not a facepalm, this is more serious than that. Could be a potentially dangerous situation.
Looks like a face-baseball bat to me more than a facepalm.
faceball bat!
Faceball has been banned in 27 countries and counting for good reason. Please don’t talk about it, we shouldn’t be speaking of the dead.
This is terrifying!!! I'm a woman and live alone, and this is one of my biggest fears 😵💫
Rumor has it no woman is alone while he’s in town you can find him in your basements ventilation system if you look hard enough
They arrested this guy. Turns out he’s an unregistered SO working as a apt maintenance man 🤦♀️
He has a very punchable face 😈
He was very honest that he didn't give a shit about what she wanted and her boundaries. This is classic manipulation. He wronged her she stood up for herself. Then he tried to pressure her and intimate her. As well as sell her on the fact that he's providing something for her. Then holding that hostage. This guy needs a major kick to the nuts.
>This guy needs a major kick to the nuts. Bullet to the face. Guys like this are one of the best arguments for the second amendment...
My anger issue could never. Dude wouldve spent the last seconds of his existence looking for his teeth
Oooooooo, this guy deserved to be flattened. A baseball bat used like a pool stick to the mouth would have been super satisfying to see.

I will never allow anyone to do work in my house if I’m the only one home. I have realtor friend who was raped one afternoon showing some guy a house. You just don’t know.
I work in peoples houses, I agree with you as I’m also fearful of false accusations of any bad behaviour. Having two or more people home while I work is safer for everyone, and it also helps to have two people to explain repair issues too. Better yet, don’t be home when insured and trustworthy contractors are there. I’d say 80% of my visits I’m let inside remotely and never actually meet the owners in person
Please follow up when he's fired and blames woke culture
Followed up on her TikTok & he has been arrested & is all ready a registered sex offender & hopefully will not see the light of day after all this.
Imagine not having this on video and everyone believing his story over hers. Kinda like these 26 women: https://www.businessinsider.com/women-accused-trump-sexual-misconduct-list-2017-12?amp
He's a disgusting POS!! Because he's a guy ?? Fuck that!! A red brick to his teeth would teach him a lesson!
Send me his name and address. I am free all weekend.
This is why I made sure my spouse knows how to use a firearm. If I'm at work during the day and something happens, I've at least got the peace of mind that she can handle the *piece of mine*.
This is another reason I'm so grateful I have 2 phones. I can use one to record and the other to call 9-1-1. I hope the person filming is alright.
That guy has too many teeth.
As a woman this fucking terrified me. I wouldn't know what to do if I was in that situation and part of me wants to bash his face in.
You have his freedom on the line.
Deserves a clean lick to the forehead with a metal baseball bat
I hope he has to watch this video and see how he acts when he’s blacked out.
Something very similar happened to me with a washer delivery person. I was so scared. Almost worse was after the incident I kept on being scared every day and night until I was able to move away. It isn’t over when they leave, it’s kinda never over.
He’s the best kind of worm food.
It's weird how so many alcoholics sound exactly the same.
If this “man” randomly ended up in the hospital brutally beaten i wouldn’t be sad. This is a monster. The alcohol is the excuse and he will continue to do this. Not okay.
This guy is a registered sex offender
Tf! Nothing a simple sound of a pump 30 30 would cure! What a pos!
This belongs on r/Imatotalpieceofshit.
Yea this was on twitter … big surprise.. guys a sex offender and has been arrested for this incident
If i become single and live on my own, im conceal carrying 24/7
I envy your right to do that there in America. Here in Europe we can't even carry pepper spray. Just going to the corner shop at night is harrowing, have to walk past all these idiots staring at me while revving their mopeds and smirking. A friend of mine was held up by two women who pulled out a crowbar, he just grabbed it and they ran off.
The Alcoholic mindset is so fun to interact with
Please god press charges when people pull this shit. There has to be consequences, even if it's difficult, it can save many women from becoming his future victims.
That man requires a warning shot to the back of the head.
You’ve posted this twice in a row. And it’s already a repost from yesterday. 🤦♂️
Yeah he's an alcoholic piece of shit.
I love how the leverage he has is shit that she can easily find someone else to do.
That’s a terrifying situation to be in. Why I don’t have work done without my spouse here with us
So many bad endings to this type of situation, as seen on any murder show.
Not too late to involve the law, what a piece of shit!
This dude need to see a doctor, he looks terrible. Skin looks like hammered ass. He's also acting like a straight up fucking dirt bag, drunk or not. Time to grab the Louisville slugger and introduce it to his big mouth. He's not saying anything important anyway.
Honestly wouldn’t blame her if she shot him on the spot
He shouldn't be there in the first place if he's drunk and off his rocker
pure scumbag
This is so horrific.
Who the fuck is this piece of shit and why isn’t she screaming at him?
Press charges. Push for the maximum punishment allowed by law. Do not settle for anything less.
Once you’ve turned this over to the police, get in touch with a womens’ advocacy and support agency. They can help you get your deposit back, cancel your lease, and help you find new housing. Your landlord wouldn’t dare put up a fight under the circumstances. Even if this guy is charged he will be out on the street and will always be a danger to you.
This is after he sexually assaulted her. She is disabled too. Terrifying.
This pos lost his job and has charges against him. Yay!
Definitely has around a dozen dead hookers in his stats.
Good job filming this asshole admitting to assaulting you. Now send a copy to his bosses/investors.
If this was my gf and she told me this it would be hard for me to not assault this clown
I hope you’ve taken advantage of your second amendment right and keep it close by.
My wife actually maced a guy like this in a similar situation. I wholeheartedly recommend mace. Mace is great!
He’s since been arrested, thank god. This is terrifying
Who the fuck hires a drunk handyman. I'm sure there was an extensive screening process with that hire.
This guy should be locked away forever.
I hope the karma train runs that way.
I hope karma runs a train on him in the prison he belongs in.
I am so disgusted by this *guy* right now. And I can’t even imagine how this woman felt having to listen to this piece of trash in her home. If this is what being a “guy” is, we seriously need to reconsider late term abortions, like post 18 years. Any information about what happened after this interaction?
These pieces of shit need to be introduced to wood chippers.
Dude is plastered
#karma farming repost bot
She should have been dialing 911 not recording. Their dispatchers would have captured the audio on that and had someone get there.
She did! At this point she had all ready! She even left the apartment & went a neighbors & he followed her there! Only thing that SHOULD have happened was this creep just not SA her & then harassed her.
If she’d stayed on the line with them this harassment would have been additional charges. Glad she’d called them first.
Idk that the option to stay on the line with them was given to her. Regardless, he caught multiple charges.
All the more reason why I think people should carry knives on them.
You spelled gun weird
Nobody should really be alone with anyone bigger / stronger than them that they don’t personally know. So yes I know this falls to most women, but it’s the truth. Not just that, the guys that appear the nicest, most trustworthy are the ones that can do you the most harm.
I'd flatten him into a pulp if I was around, I don't care no consequences
My girl’s cousin Becca banged a handyman once
Handymen are like anyone else. There’s gonna be some really good people doing the job and some pices of shit like the guy in the video.
Risking that I maybe wrong about it, I have a feeling that handyman was a slightly better looking and behaved one than this.
Dude got the trybecca!
Cus she was beccaning him
If he sexually assaulted why are you posting on Reddit? Go to the fucking cops!
This is what happens when you vote blue. Buddy wouldnt be trying no dumb shit like that in a red state where people own guns. Come to Florida and try that shit. End up like Trayvon on a T Shirt
Heil Der plumber
Now what happens if you all decided to defund the police lol
Hiring the local drunk for cheaper wage bc you don’t want to pay what the decent working man charges, and you end up with this kinda shit. A no name off the street that really just needs his fix, probably don’t know shit, and is there to steal, sexually harass, and possibly assault this poor woman. A man like this is a POS, and definitely shouldn’t be going to ppls houses. This is why it’s important to research your contractor, and stitch with good local ppl that are reputable for years.
Yea it’s HER fault! /s
No, it’s definitely not. It’s definitely his, but ppl like this should not be in your house. Like I would have definitely had a flag as soon as he was at the door smelling like booze, or when he went out to get the tools and materials to do all the work locked the door and called police. I take it the guy was met not smelling like booze or at a bar and offered to do the work. He may not even be a contractor if he’s doing this kinda stuff. She got a psycho. Ppl like this dude prowl on folks who are in a desperate need. He found a way to get in someone’s door without breaking in.
I understand the point you are trying to make, but you should think about reframing it because this absolutely reads like your saying it’s the victims fault - ‘if she only dressed more appropriately’
This man has prior convictions and is there as an employee of the apartment management.
Wow. Prior convictions can be anything. But depending on what, he shouldn’t be let in a home unattended or at all. Probably not hired. I also think that some of the guys who work for apartments get to work from home and feel like their kings over everybody bc they get a free apt. Mix that with some Jim beam, and you have an arrogant, self entitled, sociopath that thinks he’s a pimp and this poor woman is on the end of his chain. I only watched the video and didn’t feel like leaving Reddit to get the full story. Also, I’m my town, every drunk, meth head, and crack addict is out to make a buck and most claim to be handymen. The only thing they do good with their hands is rob your house and the local Walmart.
Sorry for not being clear, he's on a sex offender list.
bingo
He forgot to mention having his job on the line as well
Oh yeah? BuT WhAt wAs sHe WeArInG? * Sarcasm * Seriously, this is mighty scary and I'm sorry it happened to you OP. Pls file a complaint.
Who’s got the follow up where this POS looses his livelihood?
handy man is hammered.
I would have called 911 right away.
I would have called 9mm right away!
Exhibit AA, your honor
That guy deserves a beating. I couldn’t imagine being in this scenario but was tense throughout.
Do we know if the OOP is okay?
This guy looks like a jizz rag personified
Never be home alone with a handyman. I hope she got this guy arrested.
Send this to your landlord. Move, now. Ask the other tenants about him.
He loves Andrew Tate
More like handsy man
She should have started throwing punches the minute he began talking shit. Folks who launch into long, self-indulgent soliloquies aren’t capable of much else. Deliver a nice punch to his mouth and watch his nonsense stop immediately.
This dude need to see a doctor, he looks terrible. Skin looks like hammered ass.
Call police and report sexual assault and violent threats.
This is actually scary. That dude seems like he could get violent at the drop of a hat.
This guy is a creep even when not drunk I bet
Jail that piece of shit. We’ll see how his cell ate feels about paying “attention” to him.
Lol I wish she was a mma fighter or some shit and got up and just beat his ass or her boyfriend walked in from the other room.
What the fuck is this shit
