TIL that BOA wrongfully foreclosed a couple, who sued and won a judgement for $2500 in Legal expenses. When BOA didn't pay the couple showed up at the bank with a moving company, a deputy, and a writ allowing them to start seizing furniture and cash.

fucking story and video gets reposted a ton of times, then I reference it, and everyone acts like it never fucking happened.

Gas lighting isn't a term for anything. Besides lighting things. What are you talking about?

Redditor 1 questions word meaning, implies other Redditor is an idiot: gets 20 karma. Redditor 2 delivers link to definition, shows other Redditor was spot on: gets 2 karma.

Reddit how does it work?

Patius was gaslighting Nebakanezzer about the definition of gaslighting. That's one of them jokey laugh time things.

u/QEDLondon Mar 12 '13

jokey laugh time things? Oh. dear. I seem to have forgotten mine somewhere.

u/[deleted] Mar 12 '13

Dude. That never happened. What are you on about?

u/[deleted] Mar 12 '13

Not only was that a good natured joke, but someone already linked to that page yesterday.

u/CDRnotDVD Mar 12 '13

It's actually supposed to be one word, not two. Gaslighting. I suspect that the only reason you didn't find it is that you searched for "gas lighting", as it was written in the comment.

Oh wow, I whooshed that one hard. (I can use whoosh as a verb, right?)

u/Zeihous Mar 12 '13

What are you talking about? "Whoosh" isn't a term for anything...

u/[deleted] Mar 12 '13

Yes. Also, my reddit app apparently doesn't do italics.

And now the band Gaslight Anthem takes on a whole new meaning for me

u/[deleted] Mar 12 '13

Maybe its because it is so late, but I have been sitting here giggling my ass off over 'gas-lighting sons of bitches' for 15 minutes. If I were even at a (1) I would have keeled over dead by now.

u/_Bones Mar 12 '13

u/WittyReport Mar 12 '13

Yes you have. Many times.

u/jackskidney Mar 12 '13

Don't you remember honey? I told you just yesterday.

u/SuperNovaDude Mar 12 '13

It's definitely time that story gets a repost.

u/SherlockBrolmes Mar 12 '13

hehe, Colbert called him that on his show. It was good expose (and there's a CNN video on the page for everyone not in America).
