For those wondering, this played out well! OP found someone to take the job. His wife bit on the prank gleefully, was actually thrilled by the idea that OP had a son he didn’t know about. When the prank was revealed, she thought it was hilarious. Ultimately pretty wholesome, OP married a keeper.
We fired our fact-checkers, so we cannot verify whether that is true or not.
True or not, this is the outcome we deserve.
It’s the outcome I want to believe as well.
i would like to post a community note saying that i personally believe it to be true
I can assure you it is true as I was there. I was the $100 note.
I can also assure you it is true. I was given a $100 not… uh wait no you didn’t hear that
The AI replacement says this is true.
Literally everything about it’s anecdotal so the best result a fact-checker could have is a shrug.
Nah they have actual footage from the event
Yep you can read the follow up here: https://www.reddit.com/r/harrisonburg/comments/1hvdyv8/fake_kidpissed_wife_epilogue/
ahahahaha, thanks for linking
Look at mister MVP over here.
He’s playing checkers, she’s playing 3d go.
and everyone clapped
$500 minimum, and I’d really have to think hard about it.
$1000, done deal.Even at $100 it’s a pretty reasonable time/compensation ratio, assuming you only have to spend like 10 minutes on actual performance time.
Of course there is potentially travel time and the overhead of communicating ahead of time to set up the prank.
May not be worth it if you have a full time job already.
Any acting student would take the 100 gladly.
Sounds like the basis of a very healthy marriage!
he sounds playful. They will be alright
This is definitely healthy marriage shit. And a marriage that is better off than at least half. Humor is a necessary ingredient to happiness and the crazier the better sometimes.
Edit: and if it wouldn’t work on your marriage, one or both of you is fragile.
Dealer’s choice ehh? Let’s go with “explosive herpes”.
To shreds you say
I really want to know how this played out
Oh I would have totally done this lol
I like how OP denotes the actors, as to be very clear in his description of how he’s either going to get divorced or murdered.
Let’s pretend you accomplish this and she sees the err of her ways. Then what? She’s going to kill you when she finds out the kid is not really yours.
Actually it went really well. The wife thought it was hilarious, according to the husband.
“I can’t decide what amused her more… the effort I put into the ruse or the fact that I ended up proving her right in the process. […She said] ‘Next time you can save $100 and just assume you’re wrong.’”
I’ll be damned. He found someone to match his crazy.
Oh shit I wanna do this
This sounds fun but will for sure end with someone trying to blackmail him for more money or filing a fake paternity suit lol
The post, along with any dms for confirmation of the job, payment, etc, would be sufficient evidence of op’s innocence
