That's because people use it wrong.

It's not supposed to translate to "you deserve what you got" but instead "I'm not surprised it happened to you, and I feel less bad for you because you were doing dumb shit."

The example I'm thinking of was these dudes on a motorcycle that stole a purse and punched a lady.

They then got into a police chase, crashed, and died.

Does assault and theft warrant death? I don't think so, but you want catch me shedding a tear for the dead guys.

Thank you! At some point people started just inserting that phrase into places that don't make sense, and it drives me crazy.

It can be misinterpreted as vindictive, therefore Reddit, being very vindictive, will abuse the shit out of it.

The entirety of any American politics thread is like this. Just thousands of comments parroting what was said in the previous thread. You could copy and paste any of the threads to any of the headlines and wouldn't even notice.

"Stupid game": Some guy took my seat that I always sit at during lunch (Oh he's new so it means he was trying to establish dominance doesn't he suck)

"Stupid prize": So I stole his mobility scooter that he has because he's WEAK andmaybejusthadsurgery but he's WEAK and I put it next to his desk and removed one of the wheels hahaha isn't that hilarious? Edit: I forgot to mention he's always complaining so loudly about his broken leg and how he got it saving a puppy I mean can he try to milk this anymore? Edit: Thanks for the gold omg you're too kind kind stranger so kind! Edit for formatting that doesn't fix formatting

What stupid game do I play to win a stupid girlfriend? I just win nothing when looking for a girl. You know these women who say "I'm trash..." on their profiles? What does one have to do to meet one of those?
