Seeing the people that are happy to ruin someone else's life because they were bullied by them a decade ago...goes to show you no one can ever forgive. Just animals the lot of ya....people change, maybe give them a chance.

Some people deserve forgiveness, some do not.
I think we all cheer because we interject the ones we know that do not deserve forgiveness.
Animals forgive
Six years ago my former coworker's house burnt down and I gave them a decent amount of money, no strings.
Three weeks ago the same person gave me a job making 30% more money than I was.
It goes around the nice way too sometimes.
I’ve held an interview with one of my former school bullies from highschool for a position under my team. I only had a suspicion when I came across the resume, but I just knew it was him when I saw his face on cam.
It was nice seeing him fumble over the curveball technical questions that I threw at him, and told HR that he wasn’t only a poor fit, but not to even send a follow up response l either.
Not a school bully but more of an adult would-be bully/asshole. I saw his resume come across my bpss's desk and I made sure he didnt even get considered for an interview. Feels good man.
Life is about the little things
Fuck bankers
This reminds me of the simpsons when Lisa learns what kind of life her teachers live so she decides to be much nicer to these people who spend so much of their days with children sacrificing to a life of service and little thanks.
But you’re the opposite.
Face it: kids can be a lot. Sometimes you got to own that you were the little shit in someone’s life sometimes.
To normal people: be nice to kids because they need the support and encouragement to grow into stable adults with a healthy sense of self worth.
To the selfish people: be nice to kids because you never know when you might need their mercy in the future.
For people: be nice to kids because you later need them to pay your "elderly money"

I’d like to know more context. Without it, it makes the poster seem like a traitor.
You don't get to choose. The numbers go into a spreadsheet. An answer comes out.
Yeah, my reading of this is that this poster took particular personal satisfaction from denying an application, but it didn't cross my mind that there was any element of actual control or decisionmaking.
It's like when someone cuts you off and then crashes their car. You didn't cause the crash, and a crashed car is a much more severe punishment than simple rudeness would deserve, but you can still derive satisfaction from the sequence of events.
agreed and affirmed but since we're here, fuck banks

Someone was mean to me so i killed them - completely sane reaction.
Aah yes. Because declining someone's mortgage application = literal murder.

have you heard of stylistic devices? this one is called ~~exaggeration~~ hyperbole.
No, it's called hyperbole.
From Merriam-Webster...
(Woops...hit meant to add)...saying exaggeration instead of hyperbole isn't wrong.
Hyperbole is the rhetorical technique.
Exaggeration is just speaking like that.
From context it sounded like he was invoking the rhetorical meaning.

I've never heard the phrase swings and roundabouts used this way.
Usually it means two things are similar so you don't really have strong feelings either way.
what goes around comes around. things swing one way and then another.
Ok, but I've never heard the phrase used that way.
Sometimes you are on the recieving end of the shit winds, sometimes you are the bellow.
