  1. So I'm being harassed and stalked by some kind of crazy guy from Reddit. In yesterday's video, at the end, I said something about being prank-called at work, and soon after I released that video, some guy made this post on the subreddit r/Happas, which is this place where people— half-Asian people like me— talk about the issues of being half-Asian or mixed race. And he made this post saying that It was him that did the prank calls, and it was him who told my boss about my YouTube channel. And he also uploaded this video, which I'll play now. It's a recording of the actual prank call, and I can confirm it's not fake. I remember having this conversation with this strange person on the phone.

  4. Uh, he told me to call him. I just needed to hit him up. We're supposed to go out to a party tonight, so— Um, this is service— He's like a short, sexy guy. I don't know who you're talking about. He said to call him! Can you please put Jared on the phone? Put who on the phone? Excuse me, don't raise your voice to me! I'm not an igloo! Please put Jared on the phone.

  5. So that was the first time I answered the phone to this prank caller, and I was really confused. I had no idea what he was talking about. Who kept asking for this guy called Gerard or Gerard, and at first I thought it was just some drunk Irish person who phoned the wrong person, and he didn't realize that he was phoning the petrol station. And I just kind of hanged up the phone after I realized that this person was kind of crazy. He kept shouting at me, saying stuff like "Don't raise your voice." It was weird. It never occurred to me that this person might be someone who knows me from YouTube or someone from the rHappens subreddit. I thought it was just some person doing prank calls or some drunk. drunk person who might have phoned the wrong number. And then someone wrote a comment on my YouTube channel saying that he might know who's doing this, and then he asked me if this person was also doing Indian accents, which he was. He prank called like every night, 3 to 4 times every night, and he kept doing different accents— Indian accents, Middle Eastern accents, Irish accents, sometimes an English Cockney accent. He also wrote this post on the r/Happiest subreddit saying that it was him, that he admits it was him that did the prank calls, and he also said that he was the one who told my boss about my YouTube channel. He also says that he has more surprises for me, which I don't really know what that could be, unless it's more prank call recordings, because I did answer the prank call phones about 4 or 5 times. Um, I've already lost my job, so I don't really know what else he can do. This is what I find strange about the story. If it's true that this person did actually tell my boss about my YouTube channel, then why did my boss tell me that the owner's sister found my YouTube channel? Something doesn't add up. It would have made more sense if my boss told me that someone told the owner about my YouTube channel because it's pretty easy to find out who the owner is if you knew where I worked. I guess I didn't do a very good job at hiding where I worked. In some videos, you could tell which company of petrol stations I worked at because you could see the colors and the signs and the logos. And in older videos, I used to walk around outside and you could see road signs and stuff like that, and several people have sent me warning messages saying that they found out where I lived and that I should be more careful in the future. In his second comment, he says that I don't have a favorable reputation with the gypsies. In England, we have this small population of Irish people that migrated from Ireland into England, And we call them the Irish gypsies or the Irish travelers. And what they do is they'll buy a plot of empty land and then they'll live on it in mobile homes or caravans. And they usually have a really bad reputation. Pretty much all English people hate them because they're loud and violent and rowdy. They get drunk and then they start fights. They're always up to no good. They're stealing stuff from shops and doing shoplifting. They go to restaurants and they do stuff like they plant fake insects in their meals so they don't have to pay for things. They're just They're just a menace on society. They're kind of like the equivalent of American trailer trash. And I mentioned them several times in older videos because they would come to the petrol station and they would cause trouble. They would come drunk, they'll start shoplifting, they'll start having arguments and fighting inside of the store. And sometime last year, about 8 of them came into the store drunk and they started fighting in the store and causing havoc and making a mess. We had to call the police and I made a video talking about them. So I guess, I guess that's how he knows about them. I don't know why he said that I don't have a favorable reputation with them. If anything, I should have a good reputation because I give them discounts all the time. If they don't have enough money to pay, I usually let them off like a pound or two. There was this one time they had to pay £22 and they only had £20, and I said, it's fine, you can have it for £20. And I let them use the toilets all the time. Usually we don't let the customers use the staff toilet. Also, the way he spelt favorable without a U makes me believe that he's American, which is great. It means that he's Very far away from here. Unless he did that on purpose to mislead me. Or maybe he's an American living in the UK. I'm not leaving my house anymore. One thing that was kind of creepy was during one of the prank calls, he was asking about the sales assistant job, and at that time we were actually looking for extra night staff. And the only way you would have known that is if you came into the store and saw the looking for staff sign, because I'm pretty sure we're not advertising that online unless he asked my boss about it, or maybe it was just a coincidence. In the second half of the comments, he says that it's time to grow up. Can I just stop you there to point out the irony that someone who prank calls people and doxes them on the internet is telling me to grow up? Okay. In the second half of the comments, he says that it's time to grow up, and the first step was leaving the dead-end job. Next step is moving out of your parents. I don't know why he cares so much that I live with my parents. Loads of people in their 20s or even their 30s live with their parents. It's not unusual for family to live together. Not everyone moves out when they're 18. Also, now that I've lost my job and my main source of income, kind of makes moving out a bit difficult. It's kind of creepy. This person has spent time and put effort into finding out where I work and contacting my boss. I don't know what else he knows or what else he's capable of doing, or if he knows where I live. I'm guessing he might do. I don't really know what this guy is trying to accomplish by doing this. If your goal was to scare me, to creep me out, then you've succeeded. I am pretty creeped out right now. If it's just some kid who's bored, who's doing this for a laugh to mess with me, then that's fine. The thing is, there's also the possibility that this person is completely crazy, completely nuts, mental, and you never know what these people are capable of. They might be capable of actually physically harming people, and that's the scariest thing about it. I just want to say thanks to the people that let me know about the post on Reddit, and I want to say thanks to the moderators on the r/Happa subreddit for taking down that post or making it not visible. I know a lot of people from that subreddit don't like me or hate me, but I did actually get several supportive messages from people who were concerned about me, and I really appreciate that.
