    I remember reading the original of these without the tagline up top. The guys name was Abs Delfuego (I’m not making this up, you can google him). He posted by omegaweapon on Reddit. He had a neighbor with a disabled son, and Abs made an arcade machine for him.

    His wife had died a couple years prior, and he started a business making arcade cabinets and occasionally maki no custom machines for charities. After he lost his wife he just kinda started not caring about being polite. If anybody got uppity with him, he’d cancel the contract. Just flat out, here’s your money, I’m done.

    There were a lot of unhappy bosses calling gabs to apologize. Also a lot of people threatening to sue. I wonder what happened to him.

    Edit: Apparently I can’t read, and this wasn’t Abs. I could swear I read something similar from Abs, but as the first line calls the person Caleb, I was mistaken.

          Oof. You’re right. I can’t believe I missed that in the image lol. I did think that was one of his, as I vaguely remember something similar.

            I know exactly who you’re talking about. Real great guy did a lot for charities. Not a big deal. 🙂 He had a lot like that you work with entitled people a lot when you’re on your own boss.
