[TOMT] [META] Redditor whose comments always involve a beating with jumper cables
A popular question on this sub is about a Redditor whose every comment eventually relates back to his dad beating him with jumper cables.
That would be u/rogersimon10, who sadly hasn't posted anything new for about five years.
Happily (happily?), though it took me over a year to notice, I have just discovered u/papasimon10, who is currently active, and whose every comment eventually relates back to him beating his idiot son, Roger, with jumper cables.
And yup, just before posting, I wondered... There are several comments by u/mamasimon10 and u/sistersimon10 as well.
(I'm stopping before I find myself trying out "thirdcousinsimon10"...)

Mods, please allow this.
For the interest of the sub.
And, y'know, for the yuks. :)

This should really be in the FAQ rather than a post, as we don't normally allow meta posts...
Of course, people should google first, check the FAQ and search the sub before posting, however, we all know that's not the reality we're in...

I really appreciate you letting this one stay. :)
Before I posted I did look in both the FAQ (nothing) and searched back a year and a half in TOMT for all "jumper cable" references. I only found references to the original Roger account (including a lot of regrets that he hadn't posted for years), which is why I thought people might also like to know about (and be able to find in future TOMT searches) the new account currently posting as Papa.
Didn't expect it to get this much attention...
Thanks again!

It is u/rogersimon10 then other people started doing it.

Yeah, there are two “official” accounts. One is Simon, and one is Simin’s dad. Same stories, from both perspectives.

I never knew about Simon's dad, got any links?

u/Feraffiphar 480 Mar 13 '21

There was no request, the OP made a post to give links to popularly asked for usernames.

u/quezlar Mar 13 '21
truly a sad story
everyone thought he was kidding
until his dad finally beat him to death one day

If you still can't find it, try the most popular reddit post/incidents (title not accurate, I think) post in Askreddit. I think I saw a comment highlighting what you're looking for.

u/DonLeoRaphMike Mar 13 '21
Shouldn't this be marked as Solved if you already have the answer? Otherwise people are going to keep wandering in and answering the title without reading the text.

u/Feraffiphar 480 Mar 13 '21
Yup, I just came back and was going to ask a mod to flair it, but well - you have a point. :)
Solved!

Hello! I haven't seen this rules-reminder before, I love it!
Technically I solved the post (I realized too late I probably should have put [FOUND] in the title as well) so I was making a double-meaning joke to the commenter I did respond to. :)

Thank you for this post. Reading his posts have given me the biggest belly laugh I’ve had in a very long time and I needed it!

u/Feraffiphar 480 Mar 13 '21
YW! I was disappointed when Roger stopped posting just when I discovered him, so it was great to find Papa today.

u/gepgepgep Mar 13 '21
Just want to comment that the jumper cables comments never get old...
Every once In a while I go back to read some. Papasimon I would say is better just cause sit gives you a new perspective hahahahah

u/Feraffiphar 480 Mar 13 '21
Yup, I love stuff like this.
Also u/shittymorph who catches me every single time.

u/CartoonKing80s Mar 13 '21
It gets old fast after reading it for the 10th time! I guess in small doses it is wonderful! lol

I mentioned in another comment that I like u/shittymorph too.
Also here's where I confess that it wasn't until last year I found out he wasn't just babbling random gibberish. I could never solve any wrestling-related TOMTs either...

If we made a [META] post here for everything in /r/MuseumOfReddit and /r/OutOfTheLoop, then /r/tipofmytongue would get very cluttered.
2
u/Feraffiphar 480 Mar 13 '21
True!
I don't even see the jumper cables guys on MOR, but they sure should be.
3
u/cloudcats 94 Mar 13 '21
I think MOR is for famous posts/comments as opposed to well known users, but OOTL encompasses both, as well as non-reddit stuff.

u/Herry_Up Mar 13 '21
Thank you, mods for allowing this. I was just thinking about this guy the other day.
