16 Times Someone Became The Thing They Swore to Destroy

Harvey Dent once said, “You either die a hero, or you live long enough to see yourself become the villain.”


Thanks to Reddit, we've collected some of the most soul-crushing stories of people turning into the villains they vowed never to become.

1.

I make commercials for a living. I f**king hate commercials to the core of my soul. -JhymnMusic

2.

I started my own company to fight the system and avoid a corporate bullsh*t job. Then raised money, hired tons of people and my life is literally nothing but corporate bullsh*t. -j54t

3.

When I was 16 I wanted to be in a famous band like Blink 182, have my own art studio, and destroy the concept of the 9-5. I have my own art studio in my home but now I work for a bank and process loans in a 9-5. I was at work today realizing how I have become the Sith. -Archersinthedark12

Whenever I go through a drive thru. I work a drive thru and I know how painful it is, so I feel a sense of guilt and hypocrisy when I’m on the other side of the speaker. -n4wfr4m30fm1nd

5.

Recently I got into a tiff with my boyfriend and felt very irritated and irrationally upset. I entered the kitchen and started to aggressively wash the dishes, making sure they made extra noise banging on the sink…Just like my mother used to do when she dove into an unexplained bad mood and took it out on me. I straightened up and worked through my feelings pretty quickly and apologized to my boyfriend. -tenderfoot1914

6.

I teach at my old high school lol. Literally have coworkers that have sent me to the principal’s office before. -Watchtwentytwo

7.

I joined the military as a straight edge Christian and left a gay, beer drinking, pot smoking, atheist. -ansteve1

8.

I told my friend's kids they could have a toy if they didn't fight over it, and if they fought I would take it back. They agreed, then proceeded immediately fight over it when I turned around. Without any conscious input from my brain I spun back and heard myself exclaim, "What did I just say?!"

And suddenly I was my mother. -ttnl35

9.

I spent a full year living with four roommates, one of whom left every pantry door open. I spent months and months trying to catch her in the act.

Moved out to my own place, found out it was me all along! -stephowl

My couch has no less than 8 decorative pillows on it. I am a monster. -MargotFenring

11.

I hated wearing polos because my mom always talked about how nice this other person's son looked wearing polos.

I now wear polos to work every day because it's the easiest way to dress business casual. They're pretty much just fancy T-shirts. -Dances28

12.

Growing up, my dad hated going out. When we went on church outings, we were always the first family to leave. He just wanted to stay in and read the paper or watch tv. I vowed to never be as boring as him when I got older.

Now that I'm older, nothing makes me happier than when plans get cancelled and I can just chill at home, and not worry about the commute or how much money I'd have to spend going out. Even if it's something I'm looking forward to like a band I really wanna see, part of me still wants to not go because of how crappy the late night commute will be. -YounomsayinMawfk

13.

For most of my teenage and young adult life I swore I'd rather be dead that live in the carbon-copy, cookie-cutter suburban neighborhoods where every house looks exactly the same.

Guess where I live now. -DrFridayTK

Don’t touch the f-ing thermostat. -thereforeinfinity

15.

Complaining to my son about him playing too many video games. -skwolf522

16.

When I setup the website blocker on the company network. I spent so much of my childhood trying to get around those blockers at school, and now I'm the one setting it up. -Nik_Tesla
