It’s another fucking mathematicalbagpiper.
So last night I wrote a post about a coworker who had lost his job then killed himself.
I got into work this morning and the tone was very somber. We have a group meeting in the morning with all employees, then we break off into our little groups and have a group meeting. Our supervisor said that Ronnie had passed in the all employee meeting.
At the end of our little group meeting, we had a moment of silence, and everyone was very sad. All morning long, none of us barely spoke unless it was work related. We were all upset. Bruce got in an hour late to work, and he was very pissed. He drove his forklift like a mad man. He was pissed at the company. HR came and talked to him, and he seemed calmer after that.
Then it was about 9 in the morning and our supervisor got a phone call. “Are you fucking kidding me?! Are you fucking serious?” He said that to the other person about 20 times. We were standing there listening to him, wondering what was going on. Cody said the only reason he would react that way was if Ronnie was still alive.
Well, it turns out that Cody was right. At about 7:30, Ronnie had walked into the temp agency and asked for work. The emotions following were a lot of “that’s fucked up,” and “you’re kidding!” Nope, we’re not kidding. We felt betrayed, and pissed. Bruce didn’t know that Ronnie was still alive. This morning, he seemed too upset to have lied like that. Then he was pissed when he learned that Ronnie wasn’t dead.
At this point, Ronnie hadn’t answered any phone calls or text messages. Then around lunch, he texted Bruce and asked him why everyone thought he was dead. Apparently, Ronnie’s brother had found him in his room unresponsive and called Bruce telling him that he was dead. Well, Ronnie was unresponsive because he had drank too much and totally passed out.
We still think there’s something weird about it, because wouldn’t the brother have called 911? Then when Ronnie awoke, he should have called Bruce and told him that he was okay. But no. And those of us who knew last night, couldn’t sleep. None of us fell asleep before midnight, and we kept waking up in the middle of the night. We were all very sad.
We aren’t sure what truly happened, and I’m glad he’s not dead. But still, it’s very fucked up.
Suicide is NOTHING to joke about.

What an asshat.
Wow, that’s crazy! Who would do such a thing? Although, from what it seems, it’s not like he started a rumor about himself dieing to attract attention or for whatever reason. From the story, if sounds like an honest (??) misunderstanding, though yes, quite strange and with a lot of unanswered questions.
That’s horrible to just assume a person is dead like the brother did and no call 911
Something stinks there.
I have often seen folks play the “suicide,I’ll show them” self pity card It only works a few times. If he did this on purpose,I hope that he gets some help!
wow!
I have been through a fake death before, it’s warped and sick. Some dude on the net playing mind games.
I’m not buying Ronnie’s story. What kind of a person finds their brother,thinks he’s dead, and doesn’t call 911 (or even check to see if the brother’s still alive). The story seems to be too weird to be true.
wow
Dear fuck….this is just fucked up.
That literally makes me sick to my stomach.
terrible situation, very childish.
God, that is really messed up and I don’t blame you for feeling there is something fishy there. I think there is too. That isn’t something to fool around about.
@SodomyClown - Yeah, he’s had some issues.
@thegirlwiththecamera - Yes, many unanswered questions.
@godfatherofgreenbay - Right. We’re thinking that Ronnie is in on this, and made his brother call… because it just doesn’t add up.
@Bricker59 - Agreed.
@seedsower - Yeah, he’s been in therapy for awhile I guess :/
@Diva_Jyoti - Yep.
@maniac_rose - Yeah, I know. That’s why I titled the post what I did :/
@Rob_of_the_Sky - I agree. It’s really fucked up, and doesn’t make sense.
@ShimmerBodyCream - Yeah :/
@betterdesigned - Yes, it is.
@quodmenutriut - Yeah, I felt kind of ill too when I learned he isn’t dead.
Weird….
@imasilentheart - Yeah, it ISN’T something to fool around with.
what a jackwagon.
damn, that is fucked up.. that’s still the most appropriate description..
Sounds like he’s got some issues he needs to work out. That’s a terrible thing to do.
damn people!
Wow,,,that’s terrible
Holy emotional rollercoaster.
This is nothing to joke about indeed. I hope the person who hatched this plan gets some serious help because this is just beyond wrong.
That’s bad.
Total douchelord! Why wouldn’t you, hm, I dunno, make sure he had actually passed before announcing that to everyone? Kid should be slapped.
totally messed up
…yes, another Mathematical Bagpiper…although not as intentional, it would appear. The mathematician who cried wolf. This story is very messed up. I feel bad for you and all your co-workers who had to deal with this! Very unfair…foul play is definitely in the air.
Wow. A co-worker of mine committed suicide several years ago. I was perhaps about 18 or 19 at the time. He was the custodian of the library and was suffering from depression. He drank a bottle of Sno-bol toilet cleaner at the library, managed to make it to his car and down the street before everything “came up.” Had he not left, and I honestly think that the poor guy took it into consideration that I’d be the one to discover him, I would have probably tripped over him that morning. It was pretty horrific and sad, all rolled into one. He left behind a wife and three children. Suicide is definitely nothing to joke about. There are so many victims left behind.
Wow, what a douche!
Why do people feel the need to do stuff like this?
Damn! Sorry your poor brain and heart had to go through all that misery over some bullshit. I’m glad he’s ok, but this whole situation was just messed up . . .
<3
Get some sleep tonight *hugs*
That’s really messed up.
@Queen_of_You188 - The question should be..why do they need all that attention anyhow?
Yeah, it’s completely fucked up..there are too many things that no one should joke about seriously and suicide is one of them.
@Hinase - no clue. :<
People who do that need to get punched in the face. To help bring them back into reality.
I bet you someone at your job wants to really make sure he is at least briused for that move.
@Queen_of_You188 -exactly..
That is horrible. We just had a guy die at work. He was only 23-24.
What ever happened to mathematicalbagpiper anyway? I went away for a few months and then he was gone when I came back.
Sorry but I couldn’t help but laugh that no one seemed relieved. Joke or not. . .Thank God you didn’t kill yourself dude!
I know for a fact that the Lynn pussy who lives in Abilene (abilenepiperlg, mathematicalbagpiper, et. al.) should definitely shoot himself.
He too, just like you, only wants attention.
Yah; gotta agree. Glad he’s alive, but a nit irritated he played with people like that.
You are right: suicide is nothing to joke about, and I have very little patience for the people that do.
Extend him the benefit of the doubt. He may not have been involved at all. His brother could have been angry with him… or looking to punish his coworkers for him. There’s a story for the telling, somewhere.
Magical Kazooist pied piped a tune someone else sung? .
ugh! I don’t even know what to say on this one… suicide is definitely not something to joke about…
When it doesn’t add up it’s because you’re missing some pieces. Weird.
That is just crazy! But I’m with you. Something seems pretty fishy…
Sounds like Ronnie’s brother is the @sshat, not Ronnie.
What a jerkoff.
Well, just be happy that he’s not dead? It makes an awesomely funny story to tell.
Also, maybe the brother was drunk as well. Lol, you never know.
Nothing to joke about at all.
I don’t know why everyone is so angry. Yes, it wasnt ok…and everyone was worried and he kinda played with everyones feelings in case he faked it and pretended to be his brother when calling bruce or something. But I still feel sad for Ronnie, even if I do so in a more irriated way. How fucked up must someoes mind be to do that? I don’t know him of course and cannot evaluate the situation very well…but its similiar to this kind of suicide attempts that people start in order to communicate something. That happens often, but seriously, you cannot tell me they ‘like ‘ to do it. Only he didnt do anything to himself. Yeah that seems ‘colder’ and more ‘mean’ than what people d who slice their wrists open, or swallow pills. But I think the whole point is that this guy needed to know if he means something and to hear that he has a certain value in this world. He went trough hard times, and perhaps he was already drunk…I guess he didnt even think about what he did very long, an what he thougt was probably that noone would find out anyway. i dont know how well you know him, but someone- maybe bruce -should try to talk to him. My concern is also that he really does something to himself if everyone is just bitter and angry and doesnt try to solve the situation.
btw…who is mathematicalbagpiper ?
@RunTroughTheRain - He was someone a while back on Xanga that faked his suicide. He wrote a post that he said was written by his girlfriend, saying that she had walked in and he was dead. A lot of people played into it and wrote posts dedicated to him. The next day, someone saw he was on FB, and ratted him out on Xanga. Everyone was pretty pissed, because there were people that genuinely cared for him and were sad for him.
