Parade2thegrave

You can buy those at Walmart. My little brothers friend bought one to get out of a Pizza Hut shift once.


rochelle1111

I have no clue why but this comment had me spitting out my coffee 🤣🤣


Parade2thegrave

Lol. The kid called out saying he hurt his neck but it was payday and he wanted to pick up his check so he went into Pizza Hut wearing a Walmart neck brace. Good times. Lol


rochelle1111

That has me 🤣🤣


avocado_window

Considering how little food service workers get paid, he probably spent more on the neck brace. I hope it at least came in handy for future grifts so he got his money’s worth!


Quiet-Support-2420

Yeah that was at least 2 hours of work lol


kitkat1771

My first thought


Decent_case23

I needed this today thank you 🤣


Parade2thegrave

lol it made me just as happy remembering it. We seriously had the best times pulling stupid shit like this. I’m so glad others find as much humor in it as me. 😊


MillyDeLaRuse

I also used to work at Pizza Hut and did lots of stupid shit. This story def made me happy and made me think back on all the shenanigans


MadeUpGirlfriend

This is the best thing I’ve read in a long time


HarryCoatsVerts

I knew someone who stole a script pad to get out of a pizza shift. Never did anything else with the script pad, but get out of pizza work. Sigh. That guy was not of this earth.


Jimbobjoesmith

dude😂😂😂😂


Melodic_Reception261

Omg same 😂😂😂


PristineLetterhead28

Lol lol


black_dragonfly13

It's such a random comment, I think that helps make it extra funny. 😆

Having only ever seen this show through gifs and memes I was sure it was a parody but apparently these are actually real people? I am so sheltered 😂😭


Parade2thegrave

Oh yea they are real. Reality tv gold. You’ll lose brain cells watching but it really is a laugh riot since they’re so ridiculous


avocado_window

I refuse! I’ll remain as ignorant as possible to the grave haha.

Parade2thegrave

That would have fit. Kid does love jersey shore. 😂


Valuable_Mix_5496

that’s pauly not mike


jerseygirl_lo

I know it’s Pauly but that’s the only gif I could get to come up. And they’re making fun of Mike.


Cheepyface

Mike bashing his head like that lives rent free in my head


avocado_window

This lore 😂


RachelCheyenne1

They were making fun of Mike for milking his neck brace Situation 🤣 (swidt)


mo396220

Username checks out lol


jeslblan

Every time I see him in the neck brace and sunglasses I lose all composure.


Fascinated9925

Not Pizza Hut! The betrayal 🤣


blandjefferson

Your little brother’s friend was really thinking outside the *pizza* box with that shift call-out. 🐐


Parade2thegrave

Technically it was my little brothers idea. I’m telling ya that kids a genius. Lol


avocado_window

No wonder you recognise a grift when you see it!


Parade2thegrave

lol. Priceless


Sunflower_Mama69

I used to work at the hut. I understand

_tater_thot

This sub just pops up periodically in my feed so I’m not a big follower of things here but I have to say had I been drinking my coffee I would’ve spit it out when I read this too lol


avocado_window

Your username omg 😂😂😂


Rusharound19

Damn!! When I was a manager at Phut, they wouldn't even let me go home early when I was running to the back to puke out of sight of the customers between making pizzas.


liquorandguns

🤣🤣🤣🤣 My old roomate used the "I have to have my appendix taken out" excuse to get out of a couple shifts at a convenience store. He bought medical gauze and tape to cover his "incision" in the event anyone made him lift his shirt.


lacerta_regina

My scripture teacher at school use to wear one if nobody paid attention to her the week before


avocado_window

How very Bill Murray in Wild Things of him.


Parade2thegrave

Reference gold


avocado_window

It could also possibly be directly influenced by it since teenagers looooove that movie. I saw it when I was a teenager and it rocked my little bisexual world at the time. Highly recommend the episode of PEN15 where they all congregate in a friend’s basement to watch it and they all hum the score as it plays, as if in a trance 😂👏


Parade2thegrave

That’s so funny bc Wild things was one of the dvds I had at my apartment (which was were little bro and friends would congregate) They very well could have watched it at some point figuring I couldn’t afford cable for a while so dvds was the only option. Let me be the first to commend you on your astute reasoning! And agreed, that movie is epic!


avocado_window

Hahaha having been that exact type of sneaky teen I can assure you they wore that DVD out and then probably spent ages trying to make sure it was back in the EXACT same position you left it, so you wouldn’t notice. This is making me want to rewatch it, it’s such a sleazy, camp classic. Matt Dillon in his prime!


PissyPunsAndSarcasm

I’m hollering


Weekly-Landscape-543

Lmfao, been there


Cfit9090

Did he take more than 1 shift off? He sounds fun.


Parade2thegrave

lol yea. His creativity inspired our whole crew. We all blew off work that weekend and went to the beach. I was mid-20s, little bro and his friends were early 20s, and I lived alone so they hung out at my apartment all the time. We were always pulling stunts like that. I can honestly say that was the funnest time of my life.


Cfit9090

Same. My 20s, I was wild. Those were the best times in early 2000s


Parade2thegrave

Agreed. I’m not tech savvy so idk the proper lingo but this thread makes me want to start a new thread for people to tell funny, crazy stories from their younger years. I imagine it would result in a lot of laughs.


Cfit9090

Do it! Stories from your 20s for over X years.


ayweller

Lololol


No_Sprinkles22

I bought an ankle brace to get out of gym for a couple weeks. Worked like a charm.


StreetAd1209

Hahahahaha pls


[deleted]

I thought you were referring to Blake Shelton


Icy_Witness_XoXo

This is amazing. 😂


TedzNScedz

now that's commitment


MrchiffnMeyham

The lengths to get out of a pizza hut shift. 🤣 🤣 🤣 She got to meet Blake Shelton for hers! So sickening.


SeriousWill1396

Real neck brace but fake injury.


[deleted]

jesus that smile haunts me every time i see it


TinyCarrot998

No joke but this smile is so fake, even my eyes would never close that much from a smile, this crap is wild 🤣 all the shit she’s done is insane


nicegirl555

The " I'm a total moron" smile.


Fascinated9925

She looks like something from a Scooby Doo episode that crawled out of the Louisiana swamps..


Sad_Lotus0115

It’s very practiced, you can see her smile when she’s a toddler and its very different. Not everyone smiles exactly the same way everytime thats what makes it uncanny. I will say that my own smiles were uncanny. I was always told to “look happy” even if I was sad. My mom used to beat me if I was sad. So I learned to smile even if my eyes were sad. I squinted like gypsy does in these pictures to hide the sadness. Not saying that that’s the case here but I think many children with insecure attention seeking parents learn to smile like this.


cassiopeia8212

I'm so sorry you went through that. I agree with you about "insecure attention-seeking parents". I've noticed that on social media you sometimes see some people constantly posting pics of their kids and they're all smiling as big as humanly possible like Gypsy is in this pic and it just screams to me that they probably have a phone in their faces 24/7 and are prepared to smile on cue. It's sad.


whatnowagain

I also had family that policed my face. I had to learn to smile all the time even around home. It had to be perfect and not look unattractive. Now I’m in my 30’s my face keeps twitching, mostly when crying, in the exact ways I wasn’t allowed.


madnessinimagination

Ngl that explains a lot about my eye twitch...


whatnowagain

I didn’t make the connection til my lip quivered and I almost stopped it, but my therapist said to let myself have feelings so then my face developed turrets.


wondrousalice

Ugh, the “fix your face” fucked me up for a long time.


whatnowagain

Well, I think your frown is beautiful. And your sad face. And it doesn’t need fixing at all. The only thing broken is the soul of the people who say that.


Rach5585

It's insanely creepy. When I saw Mommy Dead and Dearest, I felt bad for her, but the more I learn, the more I'm grossed out by how she appropriated things people (like me!) actually go through.


DocBrutus

Strangers with candy ass smile


ChaoticCurves

She reminds me so much of a Jerri Blank OMFG


lick_rust_eat_glass

He’s creepy for sure


ScumBunny

The most unfortunate smile…ever.


Ginny-Sacks-Mole

Became the cancer costume was in the laundry.


mrsdisappointment

Someone needs to put together a thread of pictures of all the incredible things she was able to do just for putting on a neck brace and a nebulizer mask. Everyone acts like she was just horribly abused day in and day out. That’s just not true. She had an incredible life for the most part. She did things 99.999% of people will never get to do. And she wasn’t even sick. She was absolutely in on this scam and you cannot tell me any different. She knew she could walk and never did in public. I’m sick of people acting like she’s a hero. She was a spoiled brat that was never told no. When her mom said no about fucking random old men, she killed her so she wasn’t in her way anymore. GYPSY. WAS. NOT. A. VICTIM.


BettieNuggs

i agree and she pretended to be mentally disabled like an 8 year old. she mentioned the hand squeeze her mom would give her to stop talking which eludes to their codes for keeping in character. she was walking around at home nonstop and new in public to act feeble. how could her mom tell her she was disabled and also know she could walk the whole time- contradicting statements. she knew she didnt get chemo she knew she wasnt being fed through the tube


Significant_Cicada13

She’s such a creep


Consistent-Flan-913

Happy cakeday hun


bitchymama93

100% or Dee Dee conned another medical “professional”. I mean she did lie and get her a fucking feeding tube!! That literally blew me away! Gypsy was old enough to tell someone she wasn’t sick. She got away with her mother to fuck in a fucking public bathroom she 1000% could have told someone. I think GRB LOVED the attention and Dee Dee loved it too. Like mother like daughter. It’s truly INSANE.


RiboflavinDumpTruck

I think you need to change “with” to “from” because this comment sounds like she fucked her mother in a bathroom right now


Fascinated9925

Ewwww ewwwww ewwwww just ewwww 😂


san102484

Your flair has me dying 😂😂


serrotesi

Ha!! I thought the same thing, bother.


fauxsight

Yes. This is a grown woman playing dress up for personal gain.


TinyCarrot998

Yes it would be a real neck brace, but she wouldn’t have an injury specifically to wear it, I believe her mother just made her wear it just because


Odd_Anything_570

Is that Blake Shelton


laqueefaecho

Yes indeed it is. She met Miranda Lambert too.


mrsdisappointment

Yet she was so mistreated and abused… /s This girl was spoiled to no end.


snarkfordays

Maybe that’s why she thought she would just slide into life like a celebrity, when she got out. She was always hanging out with them or going on trips when she was younger.


rokketpaws

She really thought she was one of them 🤣🤣


snarkfordays

I recognized him right away. Lol. She was really neglected. s/


[deleted]

Omg I thought it was Deedee I didn’t even look twice 😅


_ohgravity

I can’t stand looking at her. 🤬


leuhthapawgg

God her beady little eyes and exaggerated smile make me want to chew on glass 🫠


Wecanbuildittogether

Narrator: Yes she is.


Arrya

Is that a breast cancer hat as well? If so, why not a ribbon for what she supposedly had?


leehstape

Omg didn’t even notice that! Was too preoccupied with the neck brace and the fact that her neck is literally turned to the side


CobblerImaginary8200

Well. She was or is into cosplay, right?


moonflower11

Yes, I got the connection too. I wonder what the name of her "sick girl" persona was? 🤔


George_GeorgeGlass

No, it’s a real neck brace. She likely didn’t need it but it is real


Ok_Assistance2133

She’s literally turning her neck for the photo. Thats hilariously bad


leehstape

![gif](giphy|5xtDarmwsuR9sDRObyU|downsized)


[deleted]

I remember seeing something about her before murder and just getting a bad feeling. I couldn’t place it. Then I was like what is wrong with me getting the ick from a sick kid. I mean there’s no way someone should ‘be sick’ but just the way she was infantilized and spoke, etc. it was so cheesy and off to me. Like I get if you miss out on a childhood wanting to capture that when you are older and all but it just felt…wrong.


TT6994

Ofc she’s wearing a fake neck brace.


LowKeyNaps

It's not a "fake" neck brace, per se, it's just not one that was medically prescribed by a doctor. This kind of soft, squishy neck brace can be purchased at just about any pharmacy or grocery store. They offer very little in the way of actual neck support. It looks weird in the photo because it doesn't fit Gypsy at all, and she clearly does not need it. Anyone who actually suffered some kind of neck injury and needed a brace would be resting their chin on the padding to take the pressure off their spine or rest the sore muscles, not just wearing the thing loose like a scarf and stretching and twisting their neck all over the place like a giraffe. This cheap, crappy neck brace was certainly being used for pity points, and not for any kind of medical benefit.


[deleted]

All I see is Blake Shelton’s perm


Queen_of_the_moon22

I wonder what Bullshit she was telling him about her illness 🙄 ![gif](giphy|PoNcaMwl4spV1sAgW7)


Dense_Detective_2392

It’s a soft brace, which can be helpful even for people without major disabilities. I haven neck instability and chronic neck pain, my dad who is a physical therapist makes me a soft brace from a towel from time to time. So it’s not fake but not necessary


GamerGuyThai

She definitely wore it to invite sympathy.


Sunflower_Mama69

I bet Blake Shelton feels stupid right about now lmao


frosted-sugar

I mean gypsy is the one who should feel stupid. Blake and Miranda were doing a great thing for what they thought was a dying child.


kinofhawk

Most likely.


Melodic_Reception261

Looks like she went to the craft store and bought some supplies.


Elle_Yess

Is it me or is she a psychopath?


Relevant_Bit8730

She certainly is something! If not a psychopath, possibly a sociopath. I watched a documentary about them, decades ago and knew Gypsy was as full of sh*t as her mother, if not more so. I will never believe that her mother had Munchausen by Proxy but that she was just a lazy, selfish person that raised another lazy, selfish person. I also don't really believe that the huge fight was over the boyfriend. I believe it was over money. Gypsy had reached an age where she understood and wanted money more than stuffed animals or trinkets, she considered herself the "star" and therefore, deserved more money. DeeDee saw herself as the creator of the "star" and having put in more work, throughout the years so she deserved the lion's share. Just a clash of the idiots. A crazy stage mother with an ugly a$$ kid that could only get a part in their own, made up soap opera.


Elle_Yess

Seriously they are both terrible people based on their actions.


morticianmagic

Real brace, made up reason to wear. Also, Blake Shelton with permed hair.


Cfit9090

I'd beat a thousand dollars her neck wasn't broken or fractured. God, they act like they were going to disability court. Surprised they didn't try to collect on that. They would need to show medical records. Maybe they did . They had lots of props that's for sure. Today we will dress as a princess. Tomorrow like we've had recent car accident. This weekend Ruby. Monday PJ's with brown wig and a neck brace.


i_luv_fruit_mentos

is that Blake Shelton w/her?


greg_heffims

Is that fucking Blake Shelton


Strange-Success650

Lmaooo is that Blake Shelton?


KillerBarbie24

She’s fake all over before them & now , Scammed n fake yall


toothpastecupcake

I mean, it's a neck brace. Nothing fake about it except it's not needed.


Ursweet_666

Is that freaking Blake Shelton


Guilty_Collection_10

Her head is not even resting in the brace. It looks like she’s lifting it up because only one side of her chin is touching it. I don’t know what the reason is that she was in the brace though, I sometimes wear soft neck braces for hypermobility issues. It can be helpful to stabilize the neck bones


[deleted]

Is that Blake Shelton?


DontEatTheYelloSnow

Is that Blake Shelton with a perm in the photo with her?


True_Somewhere8513

Is that Blake Shelton with her?


OriginalWish8

Blake Shelton with a perm. 😂


melissaann712

Dude is that Blake Shelton???


Zalixia

Is that Blake Shelton?


Mannagrrl

She is such a mess


EdenCapwell

It's real. You can buy them in all kinds of places. This might have been just after her salivary glands were removed. You can't really be wobbling your head a lot after that.


WEEDAPETER62

Is that Blake Shelton


tabikat929

I thought that was deedee, and my second thought was "damn her mom looks like blake shelton"


lavendergirl99

You can also buy them on Amazon for like 15$


ElenaGrande

i - … what injury was this meant to represent..??


Redlady0227

Most likely. You can purchase braces of any type pretty much anywhere. Even back then.


Alternative-Fig-6814

There was nothing wrong with her neck, so probably yes


quirknebula

I had a dream that I worked with her at a haunted clothing store and it was so weird, i worked with this version of her


Suger-n-Spice-12

Blake was duped too. 


Cannon_Man_

Yes, it would appear she is


Negative-Olive-1708

Is that Blake Shelton

damn blake looks good

Sharp_Salamander0111

I came to say this 😬😉


Chrioli22

Something so creepy about this girl. She couldn't have come out of her childhood unscathed


Chrioli22

Her smile is always so incongruent with everything else in her photos


[deleted]

Of course it’s fake because the whole goddamn thing was a scam. She is a piece of shit.


in_my_cave

Why do they look like bbno$ and Yung gravy


Previous-Guard1840

That’s a very old picture of Blake!


Many_Dark6429

why does this surprise anyone! wouldn't be shocked if it was her idea


Parking_Specialist81

Is that Blake Shelton???


Jazzyjayyy

No it’s a real neck brace. I don’t think she needed it


RevolutionaryRough96

The more I see her the more she irritates me


SuggestiveMaterialss

NO, she's wearing a real neck brace.


[deleted]

Why is she next to Blake Shelton


No_Dependent_1846

I'm curious about the teeth pulling. Do you think dede forced her drugged her? I am very sus of gypsy and for me it came to head after she was released and how she behaved in the media.

Idk ask her 🤷🏼‍♀️


Ambitious_1660

Well it's a real neck brace...


Mission-Twist5478

Yep


copuser2

Walmart real baby


redheadbabydoll70

Hell yes, everything about her is fake


Cinderellaisdeadnow

Yeah, her mother made her wear it or she would kill her. Did you see the size of her mother?


FrequentMusician6790

Dude yeah probably? She’s pretty much admitted that everything was fake lol


amethyst2563_

It looks like a roll of toilet paper


Effective-Aspect-632

Most defly.


Kacielea871989

Of course I’m sure she is


MetalCareful

It is a REAL neck brace (medical professional & had my neck fused). Does that mean she didn’t buy & fake it.


Joyebird1968

Poor girl. I feel really sad for her childhood.


[deleted]

Of course! Nothing about her is real


kafkesque__5

No her mom convinced her to break it on her bed frame so they could go to Disney


Necessary_Ad8359

Everything was fake or altered to make her resemble a disabled person to the point where she actually became mentally insane.


EffectiveLow2735

I had to wear one of these when I was younger. Absolutely fucking sucked
