Man Buys Every Pie at Local Burger King to Spite Shitty Little Brat
Wednesday 4:09pm
Kids are annoying no matter how you slice it, but if they are crying their heads off and yelling "I want fucking pie!" when you're in line at a Burger King, the only natural recourse is to then buy every single pie in sight so that the kid just has to fucking deal. One man, a Gawker hero, claims on Reddit to have done just that.
In a Reddit thread labeled "offmychest," one user spins a compelling tale of buying 23 Burger King apple pies when he heard a young crybaby behind him yelling at his mother about wanting some fucking pie. What happens next will surprise and gratify you!!!!!!
From his Reddit confession:
It turns out it was so slow because they had 1 trainee on cash during the lunch hour rush. All I can think of is how the people behind me ruined my splurge and gave me this headache. I then decide to ruin their day. I order every pie they have left in addition to my burgers. Turned out to be 23 pies in total, I take my order and walk towards the exit. Moments later I hear the woman yelling, what do you mean you don't have any pies left, who bought them all? I turn around and see the cashier pointing me out with the woman shooting me a death glare. I stand there and pull out a pie and slowly start eating eat as I stare back at her. She starts running towards me but can't get to me because of other lineups in the food court. I turn and slowly walk away.
The man with the most pies and least crying kids in his face wins.

Buulllllll shit.
People on /r/offmychest and /r/childfree and other subreddits make up shit all of the time to gain karma points. It's sad that news sites are using Reddit as a means for articles. Reddit is a game. Post something the users find interesting and they give you upvotes. The more upvotes, the better. You win...well, you win nothing if you get a lot of upvotes.

Which is why I am puzzled why so many people use it as a source. Glad youve seen through it.
But in reality, reddit is no different than most mainstream media outlets. More about page hits, ratings and popularity than it is about the actual fact. CBS invented the artform 40 years ago. CNN pefected it 20 years ago.

True or not, I laughed my ass off reading it.

It reminds me of the Family or Wall (can't remember the exact name) from Fahrenheit 451. So many people feeling like they need to participate. They HAVE to tune in. They have to get karma points. Doesn't matter if it's real, not real, relevant, irrelevant, harmful, beneficial - as long as they're plugged up, participating, doing whatever it takes to get that drip of serotonin. It's weird, really.
