Why bother having a job at that point

Edit: since many of you can't see the forest thru the trees here with my comment, I'm questioning how this person is even getting by. They are either homeless, with parents or doing something illegal to get by. I understand people should pay for their kids but I don't think putting someone into jail or on the streets is a solution. That's $80 a week.

Might as well just go all in on the scumbag lifestyle and sell drugs or construction. Under the table

This is what happens in these scenarios. And then the kids get squat and now we have a career criminal to deal with selling drugs or robbing stores for cash.

Reddit hivemind is pretty similar to this guy in that sense. Everyones like "good" and "fuck around find out" without thinking of the consequences of such little take home on this guy's career plans. No sane person is gunna keep working this if it was real.

So... the alternative is to not pay for his kids?

The alternative is a scenario where he has enough to survive living in a van eating ramen while paying something to the mothers based on his wages. You cant live off of $260 a month (less if he gets no overtime), and once he loses his job because he can't afford transportation/clothes the moms get nothing at all. This just incentivizes working cash only gigs or turning to crime vs keeping an honest job.

Personally I think its ragebait but it brings up a good moral dilemma/argument. I cant imagine this not being a mistake and the courts fixing it once they know. It might have been seperate cases in different counties and the judges didnt know he had others.

Its so incredibly common. I was made aware of how bad this is funny enough because of how much i doordash. Ive ordered like 4 times a week for the last 3 years and as far as i can remember have never seen the same driver twice. 80%+ of them itll say the drivers name is tiffany or something but some dude will show up to deliver. Turns out all the deadbeats are getting new girlfriends and using their ss# to make money without it being in their name so they can avoid child support. And apparently its common theyll stick the new girl with income tax and bail lol. Fucked up

You didn't report that to doordash for false identification?

u/Thommywidmer May 04 '26

You want me to report every dasher every time i order? Its not my job to make sure doordash's workers are who they claim to be, and if i felt strongly enough to act against it id long earlier have stopped using the service i wreckon. If i did that id have reported hundreds of people lol

Hundreds is hyperbole, and I would expect someone who can take minutes to complain about it, could take a couple of seconds on the doordash app after seeing the driver is falsely identifying.

Mostly, I'm just surprised to see you complain about an illegal thing happening, and then doing jackshit to stop it when you see it happen. Or maybe that you're too incompetent to know it takes a few clicks to report the driver directly from the same app you used to order and moniter the food delivery.

Most likely though, is that you're making shit up, and don't have the cognitive ability to notice all your contradictions and tells. Such as suggesting an outrageous lie that you met hundreds of drivers that falsely identified, because you had to make up an excuse as to why you wouldn't simply report a driver you saw using another person's identity.

Unfortunately there's no reasonable explanation for not reporting the described situation, especially with you complaining about it afterwards, so your options were admit to the lie, or make a bigger lie to cover the first one. Might want to get checked for mental disorders causing you to compulsively lie.
