What happens when one fed-up family friend decides to take action? Well, you get a story that’s equal parts satisfying, hilarious, and thought-provoking—one that’s got the entire internet talking.

This is the saga of “Grant,” a man whose favorite pastime was broadcasting his bigoted opinions on Facebook, and the anonymous crusader (our Reddit OP) who decided enough was enough. With a few well-timed reports, a dash of petty revenge, and a crowd of Redditors cheering them on, Grant’s reign of social media terror was finally brought to a halt. But as the comments reveal, this small-scale act of justice touches on something much bigger—a community’s yearning for decency, and the power of a well-placed “Report” button.

For one Burger King crew member, that dream became reality… in the form of a not-so-hot batch of fries and a story that charmed the internet.

Apartment living: it’s a shared wall away from either lifelong friendships or a daily test of your sanity. For u/CJN1269 and their husband, their St. Louis apartment was mostly filled with friendly faces—except for the couple next door. The boyfriend? Seemed harmless, if a bit reserved. The girlfriend? Imagine a banshee crossed with a toddler, and you’re getting close.

After years of door-slamming, wall-shaking, and high-decibel fights that could rouse the dead (and definitely the neighbors), CJN1269 decided enough was enough. When polite conversation, landlord complaints, and even the police proved useless, it was time for a little… electricity-fueled justice.
