I personally know a few women who have a shaved head and they look wonderful. I personally don't know if they were sick and that was the result, or if they just choose for it to be.
@@timothyweers8054 in all honesty, the women I've seen either shaved or bald (I don't know for certain which one) were completely fine, beautiful. Who in this day and age would make fun of someone for something so stupid? Or rather, who would ridicule someone with a medical condition? Only a fxking monster...
My friend is handicapped and has a handicapped placard, he lost a leg over in Iraq. He had a cop called on him over the handicapped spot cause of a concerned busy body. He took off his leg and the woman looked horrified cause she was harassing a veteran. Finilly my friend said if you would stop sniffing your own farts lady it wouldn't ruin your ignorant brain. The cop was laughing so hard he was actually in tears
Story 1: I will give the Karen this: she never questions the validity of OP's deafness or says something stupid like their ASL is gang signs. Doesn't make up for the rest of her idiocy, though.
She hasn't unlocked the next tier of Karen yet. It's like a vampire in Skyrim where the hungrier you get the more your weakness grows but the more your power grows. This Karen isn't hungry enough to have gone blind to disability but also doesn't have the ultimate unlocked yet
If I was the cop, I would have arrested the Karen for 'unlawful imprisonment' (or similar). It is illegal to prevent someone from going about their business. A cop can detain someone if they have a reason to do so, a Karen can not.
Technically we don’t know that. She might have yelled that at OP but OP has no way of knowing. She might have mentioned it to the cop and the cop just chose not to tell OP that part for whatever reason. She’s not off the hook yet!
Oh, I believe that Fil will be found guilty of conspiracy since he knew his wife kidnapped OP's son. As for the two brothers, they were removed and placed with the Aunt. So that means both are facing serious jail time for kidnapping and conspiracy. I also would venture that they are also facing child abuse and neglect charges for the brothers, serious enough to warrant their removal from Mil & Film's custody. Also, if they are involved in some kind of religious cult, then the abuse and neglect will most likely stick. Hopefully, OP and her hubby can possibly get custody of her minor brothers, and give them a much better life.
👏💯👏 *YES! I cannot believe the FiL got released! Not only did he KNOW what his wife did... He allowed the cops and OP and her wife search and search.. withOUT telling them! That should've been a charge as well!* *I am absolutely 🤯🤯 about this story! Dear God, if I had them as parents, they would NEVER see me, my wife or children again! I hope the MiL gets locked up for a good long while! She needs to sit and think about what she did!*
Handicap Parking Story: If I'd been that Officer,I'd have given Karen 2 Tickets... 1 for Improper Use of the Emergency Number/Wasting a Police Officer's Time... and 1 for Illegal Parking for parking in the drive lane blocking OP in... And I'd give Karen's car, License and Paperwork (License, Registration, Insurance etc.) a thorough look to see if I can legitimately give her any more Tickets... 😄😁😆😅😂🤣
They always check licence plates etc. for anything unusual (or if someone is dumb, usual!) They have your details typed in on an onboard computer (or call details in) before they leave the police car, usually. At least in Australia they do (I've watched too many documentary/real life series lol).
@@Kayenne54 Very true... However, you're still required to keep a copy of them with you in the vehicle while driving it... If Karen didn't have current copies of the Insurance and Registration, even if the system shows they're not expired, she gets another Ticket... 😄😁😆😅😂🤣
I’ve lost my sister to breast cancer (aged 34), my brother passed this summer to a brain tumour (aged 64), I’ve had many Aunts uncles and cousins pass mostly on my Dad’s side. I also have lost family on my husband’s side. I too would have lost it if someone insulted my mum, luckily she’s still here at 89( with many health issues). Good luck OP and well done to your son. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
I didn't lose all my hair nut I did look awful sparse for a few months. I only had a couple people say rude things and my mother and daughter ripped them a new one. My bigger issue was I lost so much weight I am like a walking skeleton.
At least her son won't be burdened by any of her possessions when the MiL dies because he gets nothing 😂 ...her stuff can be picked over by the rest of her family of vultures, just liked she wants
@@phoebegreig6523 I think we may be talking about different stories…I was referring to the one whose MIL made fun of her for being bald when she had cancer. But I agree with you on that one, the son will be better off without having to deal with her crap 😂
There are some people who seem to think that cancer and other health conditions are a punishment for wrongdoing. Naturally, they think that only until it happens to them. Not that I would wish cancer on anyone...there are just some folk where if it did happen to them, it would be hard to feel bad for them due to how they treat others.
Story 4: Yeah, good luck with that, A. You'll be wondering why you're being suspended. Seriously, who gives a s**t over something like that? Let people eat.
That sort of thing would make me angry as well, I hate it when I'm told I can't eat when I get my food. "So, let me get this straight, I order my food and you don't want me to eat it because it's the same thing you ordered? Don't tell me what I can and cannot eat unless you want me to starve to death."
Story 5: A family friend of ours had cancer and lost her hair to chemo. I never saw her bald head, she wore a head wrap thing, but my mom described as cute because it reminded her of a baby's bald head.
One of my closest friend's second wife had been a cancer survivor for years. Unfortunately it came back hard, and shec as soon in stage four. She lost her hair, and actually resembled Popeye. But I never even considered making any crass jokes or comments. She was a character, had a great sense of humor. I still miss her.
A girl I worked with lost her hair when she was 9 - she has alopecia. Most days she wore hella cute wigs but there were a few where she just came in with her bald head. The first time I saw that was a shock because I wasn't expecting it; the day after she was wearing a wig again and to me the wig just looked _weird_ now. She suits the baldness really well. Hope your new job's going well, Shannon!
Story 4, not only is A's mom crazy, but A is crazy too. What kind of psycho doesn't let people order the same thing she does because it's not special anymore. A should have called an apologized for her crazy mother. Stay away from A, she's coo coo for coacoa puffs.
OP and friends should have given the manager A's name and contact information to that he could have called about payment for their food, and if that didn't work, then follow up with filing a complaint for dining and dashing with the police. No way should OP and other friends have had to cover the cost for A and mom's food. And, A and mom need to get over themselves.
Last story: based on the context, and anyone feel free to correct me if I missed something, but I think OP is also female, hence bringing up the fact that MIL was homophobic and saying OP's relationship with Wife was "wrong." I bring this up because Fluff referred to OP as "he" after the story.
Story 2: This is why it hard to give free food because these a-hole don't want to pay a dollar. Pro-tip check the clothes on the person to see anything expensive like smart watches and new shoes before talking. Story 8: Oh god MIL is going to be in trouble with the church once this get out and her job going to fire her since no sane company would hold onto a nutjob.
I stopped giving free food, when I buyed food for a person I thought he was poor, who was standing in front of the shop begging. When I stopped packing and was taking cart back I saw how he takes cigaretes from his pocket and started smoking. Cigs are expensive in my country.
Story 2 I want to agree, but I can't. I don't know people's situations and how long they've been in need. Things like clothes, shoes, electronics could be from before they ended up in their current situation. Misfortune can be similar to getting injured or sick--everything's fine until it suddenly isn't. If you have an iphone and are asking me for food, I have no idea when you got that iphone, if you're responsible for the bill, or if you're a day away from it being disconnected. My POV is yeah you probably should have a way of contacting people/jobs. Good. With that said, if you're showing signs of taking advantage of my kindness, then nah, piss off. Otherwise if I'm gonna help you, I'm gonna help you. What you do with that help (in the case of giving money) is your decision. I'm not here to change your life, but I can do something helpful, and hopefully that help snowball into something more for you.
Op should told the manager to have her band for begging for food and fraud for saying that she was just going to get one meal and then she ended up taking advantage of another customer generosity.
Food Story: Karen Momster trying to tell OP that they couldn't eat their food because she ordered the same thing is Insane... Also, I wouldn't pay for her food! I'd have told the Restaurant Staff that she just Dined and Dashed and here's her name, address and phone number so you can call the Police on her... 😄😁😆😅😂🤣
Right?! If they all had separate checks (according to the story- they did) then there was no reason for op to pay for them. I understand that they were trying to be decent so the restaurant didn’t bear cost. But I definitely would have let them know they left without paying and who they are. The restaurant could take steps to ensure they weren’t allowed back in eat. That’s how you a ruin a Happy Mother’s Day! 😂
Weirdest thing that ever happened to me while I drove delivery was a cinnamon challenge. I show up with the food, hearing lots of coughing and laughing, but surprisingly enough there was no weed smell. When they open the door, i ask what they were doing, and my early 20s brain took over when i heard "challenge", and i said i could do it. Best part was I DID, and didn't cough at all(i let my mouth salivate and coat the cinnamon in mouth-slime before i swallowed, which got it down WITHOUT filling my lungs with cinnamon powder. They were impressed and gave me an AWESOME tip. That was a fun day.
I went to dublin. I landed in a pub randomly one night and did share my table with a random stranger that I made friends with for the night. She even shown me pics of her trip to egypt. I had no idea that was a cultural acceptacable thing to do until now. I thought people would think this is strange two random tourist trading stories, opinions, getting to know eachother.
I'm an American and I will not apologize. I will just point and laugh at those idiot's. I've heard enough stories about bad tourists from all around the world, I'm never going to apologize just because I share nationality with some of them.
I'm a woman and I shaved my head just for fun. I love it and everyone tells me it looks good. I see lots of women with shaved heads that look amazing. Screw that MIL and good for that son.
Repeat after me: you cannot dictate someone else's hair choices! The most you can do is with your own minor children or dress codes. Even those are pretty broad most of the time. If long hair is a safety issue, you don't have to cut it still! Ponytail, bun, hairnet...shut up about ppls hair unless it's a compliment or something got caught in their hair... like fire
I have a LOT of hair and shaved it during the pandemic- I didn't realize how comfortable it was, and I never got overheated during the summer (I live in the desert), so I started shaving in the summer and growing it out in the winter. For some women, it's just more practical to shave. My mom was a little sad when I started doing this, but she understands my comfort comes first. Kudos to the son for giving some Grade A clapback to MIL.
My boyfriend has gotten hassled before for having hair down to his arse and it makes me just as sad as when people put down women that shave their heads. Both are fantastic looks and gets my lil bi heart thumping lol
@@damien678 my ex had hair past his shoulders and mine was about 2" when we got married. His mom was always bugging him about it. One time at a restaurant his back was to the server and she came up asking "how are you ladies today?" She was really apologetic when she saw his beard. We just laughed because it was funny. When he cut it his co-workers didn't recognize him. That was even funnier.
Exactly. I was paid $500 by a guy that wanted me to have my head professionally shaved to bare skin. My hair was down to my brastrap and I needed the funds, so sure! I had no problem at all looking like "Uncle Fester" for a few weeks. I like having my hair less than 1/4" long. I periodically go that short when I get tired of brushing out tangles.
@@nancythane5672 Yeah there are two options, either someone does it on purpose or they do it for a medical issue. So who thinks laughing at bald women is even happening sometimes? Cancer isn't funny to anyone and everyone knows someone who died from it.
Last Story: The father in law should get jailed as well as he's an accomplice to the kidnapping meaning he well get charged with accessory to kidnapping.
While in the Navy, our ship made port in Rhodes, Greece, which at the time was a mecca for European tourists, particularly England, Scotland, and Ireland. A few of my fellow sailors and I ventured into a rather popular pub one afternoon and found it crowded. One table with a couple flagged us as we were looking around for a place to sit, and in a thick Irish brogue offered us to join them. Spent the rest of that afternoon and a good bit of the evening with them, enjoying their company. Friendly, funny, well-informed, and just plain wonderful to hang out with them. Even though it was some 35 years ago, I still remember them. Wonderful people.
Story 1: I have my own handicap placard, which I've used maybe twice since I got it. It's for when I have off days. If I'm having a good day (by my standards), I'm saving those spots for those who need them more. Go OP
Story 1: Kudos to up for actually following the law concerning the handicap placard. We have a young woman in our complex who moved into a 1bdrm apt with her mother after the father passed away. She's been using her father's handicap placard ever since she moved in. A short time ago, my wife developed a neurological issue affecting leg strength so we got her a placard for her car. Coming home after a long Dr's appt, wife forgot to put the placard up and the young woman called the office to report her car. So after I went and put the wife's placard up, I recorded the illegal placard's info and reported it to the police for misuse. The cop who lives in our complex now checks the woman's car ever day for the illegal placard when he comes home.
Last Story. For real, I wanna know what mother-in-law's endgame was. What was she planning to accomplish by kidnapping OP's son as well as his wife's kid brothers? It's one thing to be against who your child marries, even if they've done nothing to prove they'd make a bad spouse because OP hasn't done anything wrong, but to kidnap their child? What? Did mother-in-law believe that because her daughter didn't listen to her and got married anyway, she should take away her child to punish her? Some people need to either get a reality check or go back to living in a cave with the rest of the forgotten neanderthals because if you believe you can still dictate your kid's life even when they're a grown adult, to the point where you try to teach them a lesson by kidnapping their children, you're not ready to join us normal people and you need to screw off from society altogether!
It probably had something to do with the cult she was in, I doubt many people would try something like that without expecting support from somewhere. The 'things found' in her phone and home also suggest as much but we'll just have to wait for an update I guess.
Let me clarify first that MIL is definitely in the wrong. I think MIL's actions make more sense from MIL's POV when you consider that I think Fluff is wrong by referring to OP and HIS wife.
As a person who lost a relative to cancer a couple of years ago the grandmother is lucky that her grandson has someone who survived and now is still around from cancer
Irish Pub story: I completely agree. Apparently those girls had no idea and are equally ignorant of the word, "craic", and what it means. If you are unwilling learn anything about where you're going it's best to be polite and perhaps someone may just teach you something you won't find in a book.
I'm not really surprised that the pizza dude got the 'free"show. Both of my sibs(older brother and sister) at one point delivered pizza. And we all have our shares of stories. My brother in particular. He had MANY a woman answer the door sans clothing. I've had stoners get very happy when they saw me with the pizza, they gave great tips. Food delivery is an experience, that is for sure.
*Last Story:* My grandmother was homophobic but even she found it in her heart to accept my cousin's bisexuality, and even me officiating over her wedding to her wife when I still had a ministerial license. And she was LDS. That MIL was on a whole different level from any sane person, Christian or not.
I really don't get open homophobia (I don't care if your homophobic in the privacy of your own head). My grandmother was a NUN and never said anything bad about my mother or sister being bisexual. And because it's asked frequently- she was a LAY nun, and joined the Carmelite order later in her life. Meaning that yes she was allowed to be married, and she lived outside a convent.
@@FirstIsa A lot of elderly where i live are Christian but very open minded to my metal t-shirts, my bf, my metal music, tattoo's, etc.... I love this village.
@@Some_Guy6 my grandmother's only protest to the fact that my mother follows native American shamanic practices, my sister is a Celtic pagan, and I'm a heathen was sending us a rosary for our birthday each year till she passed. Granted my sister is now engaged to a vodun priest which might have pushed her over the edge.
My grandmother is a Christian and she'd rebuke the hell out of that MIL for being as un-Christian as you can get. Jesus never said anything against LGBTQ+ people. And this is coming from an atheist heathen. I read the Norse myths here and there but I'm an atheist about it. I have Norse tattoos on me: A Mjolnir colored in the transgender flag on my chest and a vegvísir encircled by the world serpent Jörmungandr on my right shoulder. On my left arm, I have the slogan "Be gay, do crime" in Norse runes.
Story 1: I get that in general Karens are not the brightest bulb in the ceiling, but i think I just lost some brain cells from the sheer lever of stupid shown by THIS Karen!!! Smdh!!!
Karen: "I gave you a free show, you have to give me a free pizza." Me: "That would only be true if what you showed me was something I actually WANTED to see. That'll be $20.87. And, for the love of God, NO TIPPING."
Story 5: Yeah, my biodad had that opinion of his health. Super proud of the fact he'd never been in a hospital for himself his entire life (Was a home birth, too). Meanwhile he was ignoring the fact one of his legs didn't wanna work like just "a thing that is" and not willing to hear about doing something about it. Eventually the bum leg caused him to fall and I INSISTED the medics take him in (I'd moved back home to try'n save him from himself) and whaddya know, his heart was about kaput and he was riddled with clots. Clots that were the root cause of that bum leg, since his muscles couldn't get enough oxygen to work right; clots that were also why he was so short of breath, because the largest concentration was in his lungs. Seriously, when he was in the ICU his heart was blatantly much, much weaker than many of the people who didn't make it out. Marveled at it every time I visited on the communal vitals monitor near the nurse's station. I bet you that OP's JNMIL also doesn't keep up on her health with proper professionals any more than my biodad did.
Imagine if OP was a minor, that would’ve made things so much worse! Not all delivery drivers are adults, some are teens wanting to make some money of their own. Idk what was going through that Karen’s head!
Story 5: I know what it's like to not have hair. I'm 27 years old but lost all of my hair when I was 11. I'm the first member in my family with pituitary hyperplasia AND hypothyroidism. The bullying I received in middle school because of that was terrible. The stress it was causing was causing my hair to keep falling out. My dad would often tell me "bald is beautiful" while strangers would almost immediately butt into my life with "omg what kind of cancer do you have? How long do you have left?" I don't know why... but it feels more insulting to me to have somebody immediately ASSUME it's cancer rather than the fact I could be bald for other reasons than a perceived death sentence.
That story 7. My father is like that. Trying to manipulate the family with money and inheritance but now he is surprised it doesn't work on me or my sister.
Story 8: Mother-in-law was just trying to hide behind religion as an excuse for her behavior like some other people in these stories do. Father-in-law should have stayed in jail as well but of course, he was released. He knew what the mother-in-law was doing and he didn't do anything about it. Edit: They were charged with kidnapping! This is another example of why the criminal justice system is broken.
What do you mean? MIL and FIL actually kidnapped the child. The criminal justice system is not broken. It is doing exactly as it is intended to do - charging MIL with kidnapping and charging the FIL as her accomplice. Which they both deserve!
Even though both got charged fairly in this case, the father-in-law got released even though he should have stayed in jail, just like the mother-in-law. That is what I was talking about. There are a lot of cases where people get out of jail early and don't serve their full sentence that should have stayed in jail. Others have been wrongfully committed and that they are in jail for something that they didn't do (not related to this particular case).
@@craigpatterson2592FiL likely just had to pay a fine for being an accomplice. MiL is going to stay for a long time; too much evidence against her to let her out early unless they release her due to terminal illness.
After I did a little research I agree. That was what most likely happened. My stance is that if someone knowingly supports a crime, knows the severity of the crime, and if they don't try to stop or help stop the crime, help to stop the perpetrator, or try to remove themselves and help catch the perpetrator of the crime in any way, then not only should they be charged with the same charges as the perpetrator but they should serve the same time in jail as well.
The son immediately telling grandma off about not talking to his mom like that was super sweet. It sounded like he went for the throat as soon as he heard what grandma said to his mom with no hesitation. Good on him and good on momma for raising her boy right
That hair loss due to cancer makes me mad. I’m growing a mullet as a big double middle finger to cancer and chemo. Mine thinned but never completely went away. I’m Stage 4 currently in remission.
Handicap parking story: I'm handicapped and do use handicapped parking when available. But you'd be surprised at how often ALL the handicapped parking is taken up and I have to park halfway across the parking lot in a "normal" parking space. Strangely enough, I've never received a parking ticket for that though. McDonald's story: Just wow! People have limits lady, and you tried to bulldoze OP's. If you had been upfront, he MIGHT have at least gotten you each an item from the dollar menu, but you tried to be greedy, so you got nothing. But I doubt you learned your lesson. Naked pizza story: Fluff, people do incredibly stupid things. As a retired truck driver I saw a great deal of "strange" behavior when driving. Everything from being flashed to watching people drive with their knees while putting on makeup in the rearview mirror or reading a newspaper to literally watching people making out while driving. At least for me it wasn't close up and personal the way it was for the OP in the story. Mother's day meal story: Wow! If she really wanted something "unique", she should have either ordered first and told the others not to order what she did or paid attention to what the others ordered and ordered something different. But I'm curious. Does the "special" meal apply to every other person eating in the restaurant? Yeah, get rid of friend A. She and her mom are nuts! Cancer story: I would talk to your husband OP and tell him his mother is no longer welcome in your home until she makes a SINCERE apology and enforce it! Kidnapping story: All I can say is: "Good grief!"
The McDonalds story: The woman is part of a shakedown gang. They operate by her being the front finding a 'sucker' to offer to pay for lunch. Once they're at the counter, she signals her group to swoop in and order all the expensive items from the menu. These people need to be banned from all eateries nationwide!
Story 1: I was half expecting Karen to park in the handicapped spot illegally and says she has kids or something(you’ve heard Fluff read at least enough to count on two hands) Ladies and gentleman: LETTING👏A👏DUDE👏NUT👏IN👏YOU👏DOESNT👏MAKE👏YOU👏HANDICAPPED👏
Story 6, no grandchildren no money no problem. But remember when you are older and need things done to help you out, we will not be there. Go contact those with the grandkids.
I can't believe that's the first time the mother in law has been that nasty, so she is way past her expiration date and needs Tobe cancelled immediately.
Story 3: Lol Karen. If you want to get stuff for stripping, find a club. Even if OP had been impressed by her "show," giving away free pizza is not the deliveryperson's call. Story 4: ...Wtf. Story 8: Yikes. The hint about the crazy MiL having bad stuff on her phone is truly scary. Some Christian.
Story 5) Cancer treatment caused hair loss, OP shaves her head. Bald women can be very beautiful. Cases: Star Trek movie one character was a young actress whose character was bald. Most recently from the Marvel Universe, Tilda Swinton played The Ancient One or Sorcerer Supreme in "Doctor Strange" and she was very beautiful despite her costumes weren't overly feminine.
My sister is a CNA and she works for a very elderly couple. They have a good bit of money, investments, land, etc etc. So they're very well off. The man died a while back and so it's just the elderly woman. Since father/grandfather isn't in the picture to put his foot down anymore my sister says their family is divided in half. Half does things for and wants the best for their mother/grandmother while she's still alive. The other half are a bunch of vultures greedily waiting on her to die. The sad thing is that the person that has power of attorney at the moment is on the vulture side. My sister said it's to the point that everyone that legitimately cares for the woman is being shunned out to the point they're not allowed at the woman's house unless asked an approved in advance and is supervised by one of the vultures. The thing is my sister got close to the family and to the man while he was alive. He knew and predicted that something like this would happen once he died. My sister knows what some of the things was on his Will and some won't take effect till after mom/grandmother dies. So due to my sister knows partly what's on the Will she knows the upcoming rude awakening that WILL happen that a lot of those vultures will not like at all. It's like I grew up in a family that didn't have lots of money. We wasn't broke but we didn't live out of our means. When my grandmother died and my aunts, uncles, dad asked us grandchildren if we wanted something lots of people was going after lots of different things. The only things I asked for was this wooden foot/back massager and the bird feeder that hung outside my grandmother's kitchen window because I loved watching the birds come to it every time we would visit.
You’d be surprised about people thinking that having a handicapped placard means you have to park in a handicapped spot. I used to write parking citations a few hours a week in college (I was a POS, I know 😂) and the supervisor sent out an email saying that 4 out of 5 of us had written tickets for handicapped placard having cars for illegally parking in normal spots. I was the 1 out of 5 who did not, because I’m not a complete moron, just mostly one. I was genuinely surprised that they actually thought handicaps are required to park in handicap spots
"I GAVE YOU A FREE SHOW SO YOU KERD TO GIVE ME PIZZA FOR FREE!" "Ma'am... All you did was scar me by showing off your body. If anything you should be paying for my counseling."
People that ACTUALLY NEED money-food etf are so grateful! I have had so many wholesome moments with homeless people. You can tell when they actually need something. 1) went to a shop and a guy asked me for some change. , I said that I do not carry cash, but I can I get him some food - he said oh, thank you soso much!! I have food for today, asking something little for tomorrow. don't worry. Thank you!! 2) bought a meal deal - so you pay the same for three items as for two. And I did not want the snack - saw a guy and went and offered him a little tiny bag of crisps. He was sooooo grateful. After that I went and took out some cash to give him, but didn't see him again. :( etcetc. So many stories like that...
My husband, too, was homeless until he was old enough to go into military service, so he's sensitive to the plite of the homeless. He frequently sees beggars ar various locations, but if their hair is clean and neatly trimmed, their clothes are clean and in good repair, they themselves are clean, and their shoes are clean (the beggars with sparkling white sneakers enrage him) and look nearly new, the odds are that they probably have more money than we do. The ones he feels are legit? He'll go to a fast food place, get coffee and a meal, then circle around to that person to offer the bag of food. If they happily accept it and thank him, he'll often add some cash. I have seen a few break into tears at this. Knowing that there is really nothing more we can do for them, I have often cried, myself. However, he's had a rare few who've refused it, demanding money instead. To those, he has a few choice words, and he'll drive off, food and all.
Inheritance Karen: you could even argue economically! How much does a kid cost from age 0 to 18? Or 25, if you want to "invest" into a higher education? Is it less than the inheritance? And if not, what's the benefit of inheriting money?!? Oh, "faaaaamily"... Yeah, that shouldn't be about money!
About story 5. This keeps niggling at the back of my mind. The last paragraph where OP says something to the effect that due to what was found in MIL's phone and house, she won't be getting out anytime soon. Made me wonder if that information included things pertaining to child endangerment. Specific things. Just a thought.
Deaf Momma here- language young person!! I like your story and I think its funny that when she discovered you were deaf, she probably yelled louder. You did good!! 🤟🏻❤️
So I am very shy and socially awkward so I wouldn't be comfortable sitting and talking with a stranger. With that said I wouldn't demand someone move for me.
I have diagnosed Agoraphobia but it's not a big deal here in Australia, so I don't mind and sometimes even enjoy it. It's honestly really healing for me to have nice, small talks with strangers, too.
English is replete with expressions which all refer to the end of one's life on this Earth: "Kicked the bucket" "Bought the farm" "Checked out" "Pushing up daisies" "Taking a dirt nap" "Six feet under" These are just some of the less elaborate expressions which I can remember off-hand.
Story 5: if I was OP I would have gone out and gotten a wig that looked exactly like MIL’s hairstyle/color. Wear that around her and just wait for the sparks. Just make sure she doesn’t think it is a tribute.
Story 5: Wow...OP's son is fucking AWESOME! Never let someone...anyone...speak to you like MIL did. She needs to never be allowed back in your home OP. Story 7: What part of vasectomy is MIL not understanding? I would have responded: All the money we're saving by NOT having kids will make us three times richer by your age anyway. Story 8: The FIL assisted in the kidnapping of OP & her wife's child...he should be held liable for that crime. Maybe OP & wife should sue them for the mental anguish caused too.
Story 5 legitimately enrages me. That MIL needs to learn some respect. Hair falling out is not fun, and neither is being made of for something you have no control over.
Story #6: The Dublin Pub... This is another version of the 1960's novel "The Ugly American." In this case you have a group of Americans who don't understand Irish Pub Etiquette. They look boorish while trying to "assert their rights." Which generally don't exist.
I’ve been thinking about this and I’m sure you all can give me some good judgment: I used to work as a cashier at a dollar store and theft was a huge problem for us. As usual with any retail job, if something gets stolen *I* would be blamed for allowing it, which is as stupid as it sounds. This older lady comes to the checkout and as I was ringing her up, she said she wanted to show her friend a bottle of cleaner I guess to see if she wanted it. Her friend was in her car by the doorway so that means she could step out with the product she didn’t pay for. What I did was stand to the side behind her about ten feet away with my hands in my pockets just in case I needed to step in. The lady took great offense to this and told me that I was accusing her of being a thief. I apologized profusely and tried to explain myself but she wouldn’t have it. She then exclaims after finishing paying for her items (she decided she didn’t want the cleaner) that she will never shop at this store again. I turned to my manager who was there the whole time and asked if I handled the situation correctly. She didn’t care as she was doing counts on our cigarette stock. A few months later the older lady walked in and was in dismay that I was still working there. Apparently her friend talked her into returning since she assumed I was fired for the whole thing. The lady runs to my manager (same one as before) and complains to her in hopes that I would be fired, which didn’t happen. She claimed I tried to grab her and was right behind her that night… Anyway nothing happened to me but I still wonder how I should have dealt with that situation. So… in hindsight was I the a hole?
First, to answer your question, no, you weren't the a-hole. But also, the being blamed if something gets stolen thing does sound stupid. I'm lucky that the place I work, being the family-owned Mom-&-Pop local gaming shop that it is, are very much there for their employees. Something that the owners drill into us is, "If you are being robbed, give them the money. We would rather lose a couple hundred dollars than have you lose a life."
No, not the asshole, and this old lady is dumb. I would have let you my bag so you'd be sure I wasn't going to steal. People steal all the time it's nothing personnal
You weren't an asshole but you were a pushover. You tell her she can pay for it first and then she can do whatever she likes with it. Never ever ever, knowingly, let someone leave the store without paying first. If she tried to leave with the item there's nothing you can do legally to step in, you would be liable for assault. And absolutely don't apologize for doing your job. She was an entitled b-ch
#5: My ex's parents were convinced that any time a person was ill or hurt, it was God's punishment for some sin they'd committed. Innocent children were sick/hurt because of something their parents did. When we were divorced (I filed to get away from abuse) they repeatedly told me they prayed nothing happened to my children because of me. It gave me nightmares. But 40+ years later, I'm fine and my children are, too.
Yeah, I've known a lot of people like that. I've known people in hospice who were devastated they were dying bc they thought they were good Christians.
Hey @DarkFluff, the last story, it was OP and HER wife. That was the whole point of it. MIL was upset because her daughter and DIL were married to one another because she thinks it is a sin to be gay.
Longtime reader, relatively new subscriber. After being stuck in the ‘text conversation story’ universe, it is refreshing to be reading stories that aren’t endlessly recycled!
In the pub story, it is common place in Europe for strangers to share a table in a pub or even a restaurant. Found this out when I was stationed in Germany.
Story 4: This is the second story I've heard about people claiming you can't eat the same thing as them: That is not A Thing, there's no rule anywhere that says that.
Story 8: Growing up, my grandparents would babysit me whenever Mom and Dad were busy. This being Hurricane country, there was one time that my mom was a bit late for picking me up before the storm. One of my Great Aunts tried to convince Grammy to take me with them when they evacuated, but she wisely refused. She knew my Dad, her son, would have her arrested for kidnapping if she took me anywhere near the state line. Mom eventually came and picked me up, and my grandparents got in the car and evacuated right behind us.
@pshaw8406 clearly you don't know how evacuation works. In this day and age, we get at least a week's warning before the storm hits and have a decent idea of the path 3 days ahead of time. This is when you get out. If you don't get out before the 24-hour mark, then you better be ready to whether the storm cause you ain't gonna outrun it.
Story 5: MIL sounds like the type of person I would not hold back on in giving her a good tongue lashing - and having to be held back from smacking her in the mouth.
I had a man answer the door when I was a papergirl I was about 9 and it was Sat. or payday for paper delivery. The came to the door stark naked. I ran to a nice lady customers house and called my Dad. He got my money and a big tip plus the guy could no longer have paper delivery. this was late '50 or early '60s.
to all those who parade around naked or semi naked. no on what to see your body parts and if you continue, you will met a person who will bring you down and the people who will see your body parts will be in the morgue
I'm often going commando in my own home, as I live alone. But I always pull on pants and t-shirt to answer the door, which happens rarely. I have no family or friends that visit. The two who do accasionally visit know to call first.
Props to the son for not putting up with grandma's disrespect. Hilarious she expected the woman she was making fun of to scold him.
Me personally I would have said to her " you keep running your mouth and you will be needing medical care yourself".
I personally know a few women who have a shaved head and they look wonderful. I personally don't know if they were sick and that was the result, or if they just choose for it to be.
Of course MIL won't get cancer. She is a cancer...to everyone else.
@@timothyweers8054 in all honesty, the women I've seen either shaved or bald (I don't know for certain which one) were completely fine, beautiful.
Who in this day and age would make fun of someone for something so stupid? Or rather, who would ridicule someone with a medical condition? Only a fxking monster...
@@lXlDarKSuoLlXl Short or no hair is beautiful and so many women have been able to rock it.
My friend is handicapped and has a handicapped placard, he lost a leg over in Iraq. He had a cop called on him over the handicapped spot cause of a concerned busy body. He took off his leg and the woman looked horrified cause she was harassing a veteran. Finilly my friend said if you would stop sniffing your own farts lady it wouldn't ruin your ignorant brain. The cop was laughing so hard he was actually in tears
That's the best thing I have ever heard anyone say. 😂
Story 1: I will give the Karen this: she never questions the validity of OP's deafness or says something stupid like their ASL is gang signs. Doesn't make up for the rest of her idiocy, though.
True, she was a slightly more enlightened Karen. Slightly.
She hasn't unlocked the next tier of Karen yet. It's like a vampire in Skyrim where the hungrier you get the more your weakness grows but the more your power grows. This Karen isn't hungry enough to have gone blind to disability but also doesn't have the ultimate unlocked yet
@@150booyadragon 😂🤣😂🤣😂
If I was the cop, I would have arrested the Karen for 'unlawful imprisonment' (or similar). It is illegal to prevent someone from going about their business. A cop can detain someone if they have a reason to do so, a Karen can not.
Technically we don’t know that. She might have yelled that at OP but OP has no way of knowing. She might have mentioned it to the cop and the cop just chose not to tell OP that part for whatever reason. She’s not off the hook yet!
The FIL is an accomplice as well as an improper parent. I hope his sons get taken away and that they sue them for emotional distress.
Oh, I believe that Fil will be found guilty of conspiracy since he knew his wife kidnapped OP's son. As for the two brothers, they were removed and placed with the Aunt. So that means both are facing serious jail time for kidnapping and conspiracy. I also would venture that they are also facing child abuse and neglect charges for the brothers, serious enough to warrant their removal from Mil & Film's custody. Also, if they are involved in some kind of religious cult, then the abuse and neglect will most likely stick. Hopefully, OP and her hubby can possibly get custody of her minor brothers, and give them a much better life.
OP and there wife at the very least need to get a restraining order.
👏💯👏
*YES! I cannot believe the FiL got released! Not only did he KNOW what his wife did... He allowed the cops and OP and her wife search and search.. withOUT telling them! That should've been a charge as well!*
*I am absolutely 🤯🤯 about this story! Dear God, if I had them as parents, they would NEVER see me, my wife or children again! I hope the MiL gets locked up for a good long while! She needs to sit and think about what she did!*
"I gave you a free show, I want my pizza free." "What show? The Creature From The Black Lagoon?"
Pizza delivery folks need body cams for protection against any claims of abuse.
😂😂😂😂😂😂
DAMN if only I could think of comebacks like that in the moment!
@@Xezlec "The Nudist from the Black Lagoon."
assuming OP is a guy, i would have told her that i'm gay.
Handicap Parking Story: If I'd been that Officer,I'd have given Karen 2 Tickets...
1 for Improper Use of the Emergency Number/Wasting a Police Officer's Time...
and
1 for Illegal Parking for parking in the drive lane blocking OP in...
And I'd give Karen's car, License and Paperwork (License, Registration, Insurance etc.) a thorough look to see if I can legitimately give her any more Tickets...
😄😁😆😅😂🤣
They always check licence plates etc. for anything unusual (or if someone is dumb, usual!) They have your details typed in on an onboard computer (or call details in) before they leave the police car, usually. At least in Australia they do (I've watched too many documentary/real life series lol).
@@Kayenne54 Very true...
However, you're still required to keep a copy of them with you in the vehicle while driving it...
If Karen didn't have current copies of the Insurance and Registration, even if the system shows they're not expired, she gets another Ticket...
😄😁😆😅😂🤣
Story 5: That son is AMAZINGLY self controlled and polite. If someone said this to my mum, I'd bloody deck them
I’ve lost my sister to breast cancer (aged 34), my brother passed this summer to a brain tumour (aged 64), I’ve had many Aunts uncles and cousins pass mostly on my Dad’s side. I also have lost family on my husband’s side. I too would have lost it if someone insulted my mum, luckily she’s still here at 89( with many health issues). Good luck OP and well done to your son. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
I didn't lose all my hair nut I did look awful sparse for a few months. I only had a couple people say rude things and my mother and daughter ripped them a new one.
My bigger issue was I lost so much weight I am like a walking skeleton.
The MIL in story 5 is just the worst kind of human being, plain and simple.
If my Grandma would've done that to my mom during either of her cancer battles, she would've had her dentures knocked down her throat.
Just wait when that mil gets cancer and becomes paralyzed from the waist down
At least her son won't be burdened by any of her possessions when the MiL dies because he gets nothing 😂 ...her stuff can be picked over by the rest of her family of vultures, just liked she wants
@@phoebegreig6523 I think we may be talking about different stories…I was referring to the one whose MIL made fun of her for being bald when she had cancer. But I agree with you on that one, the son will be better off without having to deal with her crap 😂
There are some people who seem to think that cancer and other health conditions are a punishment for wrongdoing. Naturally, they think that only until it happens to them. Not that I would wish cancer on anyone...there are just some folk where if it did happen to them, it would be hard to feel bad for them due to how they treat others.
Story 5: The son was quick with the clapback. I freaking love it!
Story 4: Yeah, good luck with that, A. You'll be wondering why you're being suspended.
Seriously, who gives a s**t over something like that? Let people eat.
That sort of thing would make me angry as well, I hate it when I'm told I can't eat when I get my food. "So, let me get this straight, I order my food and you don't want me to eat it because it's the same thing you ordered? Don't tell me what I can and cannot eat unless you want me to starve to death."
It's pure narcissism and how the twat raised her broken condom.
Story 5: A family friend of ours had cancer and lost her hair to chemo. I never saw her bald head, she wore a head wrap thing, but my mom described as cute because it reminded her of a baby's bald head.
One of my closest friend's second wife had been a cancer survivor for years. Unfortunately it came back hard, and shec as soon in stage four. She lost her hair, and actually resembled Popeye. But I never even considered making any crass jokes or comments. She was a character, had a great sense of humor. I still miss her.
A girl I worked with lost her hair when she was 9 - she has alopecia. Most days she wore hella cute wigs but there were a few where she just came in with her bald head. The first time I saw that was a shock because I wasn't expecting it; the day after she was wearing a wig again and to me the wig just looked _weird_ now. She suits the baldness really well.
Hope your new job's going well, Shannon!
To be honest some women can pull off the bald look. I mean the general lady in the black Panter movie look bad a$$ and she have a shave hair looks.
Story 4, not only is A's mom crazy, but A is crazy too. What kind of psycho doesn't let people order the same thing she does because it's not special anymore. A should have called an apologized for her crazy mother. Stay away from A, she's coo coo for coacoa puffs.
OP and friends should have given the manager A's name and contact information to that he could have called about payment for their food, and if that didn't work, then follow up with filing a complaint for dining and dashing with the police. No way should OP and other friends have had to cover the cost for A and mom's food. And, A and mom need to get over themselves.
Not to mention OP ORDERED THEIR FOOD FIRST.
@Human-kb6xc oh man, I missed that part.
Last story: based on the context, and anyone feel free to correct me if I missed something, but I think OP is also female, hence bringing up the fact that MIL was homophobic and saying OP's relationship with Wife was "wrong." I bring this up because Fluff referred to OP as "he" after the story.
Yea I caught this too :)
OP in that story is properly gendered in the description, at least.
I think Fluff can blame that one on Steve-o 😂
You're right. This was actually a second story from the same OP, and yeah, MIL has a serious attitude against girl-girl relationships.
I caught that, too. And MIL deserves to rot in prison for the rest of her days.
Story 2: This is why it hard to give free food because these a-hole don't want to pay a dollar. Pro-tip check the clothes on the person to see anything expensive like smart watches and new shoes before talking.
Story 8: Oh god MIL is going to be in trouble with the church once this get out and her job going to fire her since no sane company would hold onto a nutjob.
I stopped giving free food, when I buyed food for a person I thought he was poor, who was standing in front of the shop begging. When I stopped packing and was taking cart back I saw how he takes cigaretes from his pocket and started smoking. Cigs are expensive in my country.
Story 2
I want to agree, but I can't. I don't know people's situations and how long they've been in need. Things like clothes, shoes, electronics could be from before they ended up in their current situation. Misfortune can be similar to getting injured or sick--everything's fine until it suddenly isn't. If you have an iphone and are asking me for food, I have no idea when you got that iphone, if you're responsible for the bill, or if you're a day away from it being disconnected. My POV is yeah you probably should have a way of contacting people/jobs. Good.
With that said, if you're showing signs of taking advantage of my kindness, then nah, piss off. Otherwise if I'm gonna help you, I'm gonna help you. What you do with that help (in the case of giving money) is your decision. I'm not here to change your life, but I can do something helpful, and hopefully that help snowball into something more for you.
Op should told the manager to have her band for begging for food and fraud for saying that she was just going to get one meal and then she ended up taking advantage of another customer generosity.
Guaranteed she and her gang are doing this scam all over town!
Exactly. “You were asking for *a* sandwich… *one* sandwich. Don’t get upset when you don’t get to abuse my generosity.”
Food Story: Karen Momster trying to tell OP that they couldn't eat their food because she ordered the same thing is Insane...
Also, I wouldn't pay for her food! I'd have told the Restaurant Staff that she just Dined and Dashed and here's her name, address and phone number so you can call the Police on her...
😄😁😆😅😂🤣
So refreshing to see someone else approach the situation the same way I would have.
I would’ve done the same thing.
Right?! If they all had separate checks (according to the story- they did) then there was no reason for op to pay for them. I understand that they were trying to be decent so the restaurant didn’t bear cost. But I definitely would have let them know they left without paying and who they are. The restaurant could take steps to ensure they weren’t allowed back in eat. That’s how you a ruin a Happy Mother’s Day! 😂
I just hope OP and there friends mad sure everyone at school now knows that friend A and her mom are both Kerans.
@@CrimsonAngelWinges Friend A and her mother are both nuts, as in loco en la cabeza.
The mother's day breakfast is freaking ludicrous.
Story 4 : Okay mom, while you're at it, tell the rest of the guests to not order the same meal to be extra special.
Weirdest thing that ever happened to me while I drove delivery was a cinnamon challenge. I show up with the food, hearing lots of coughing and laughing, but surprisingly enough there was no weed smell. When they open the door, i ask what they were doing, and my early 20s brain took over when i heard "challenge", and i said i could do it. Best part was I DID, and didn't cough at all(i let my mouth salivate and coat the cinnamon in mouth-slime before i swallowed, which got it down WITHOUT filling my lungs with cinnamon powder.
They were impressed and gave me an AWESOME tip. That was a fun day.
Story 6: As an American, I apologize on behalf of all American tourists... and I'm getting sick of having to say that.
I went to dublin. I landed in a pub randomly one night and did share my table with a random stranger that I made friends with for the night. She even shown me pics of her trip to egypt. I had no idea that was a cultural acceptacable thing to do until now. I thought people would think this is strange two random tourist trading stories, opinions, getting to know eachother.
I'm an American and I will not apologize. I will just point and laugh at those idiot's. I've heard enough stories about bad tourists from all around the world, I'm never going to apologize just because I share nationality with some of them.
I'm a woman and I shaved my head just for fun. I love it and everyone tells me it looks good. I see lots of women with shaved heads that look amazing. Screw that MIL and good for that son.
I did it out of solidarity 4 a friend/sister who has cancer and is going thru treatment
Repeat after me: you cannot dictate someone else's hair choices! The most you can do is with your own minor children or dress codes. Even those are pretty broad most of the time. If long hair is a safety issue, you don't have to cut it still! Ponytail, bun, hairnet...shut up about ppls hair unless it's a compliment or something got caught in their hair... like fire
I have a LOT of hair and shaved it during the pandemic- I didn't realize how comfortable it was, and I never got overheated during the summer (I live in the desert), so I started shaving in the summer and growing it out in the winter. For some women, it's just more practical to shave. My mom was a little sad when I started doing this, but she understands my comfort comes first. Kudos to the son for giving some Grade A clapback to MIL.
My boyfriend has gotten hassled before for having hair down to his arse and it makes me just as sad as when people put down women that shave their heads. Both are fantastic looks and gets my lil bi heart thumping lol
@@damien678 my ex had hair past his shoulders and mine was about 2" when we got married. His mom was always bugging him about it. One time at a restaurant his back was to the server and she came up asking "how are you ladies today?" She was really apologetic when she saw his beard. We just laughed because it was funny. When he cut it his co-workers didn't recognize him. That was even funnier.
"everyone laughs at bald women" Who does that except her? That's not a thing.
Exactly. I was paid $500 by a guy that wanted me to have my head professionally shaved to bare skin. My hair was down to my brastrap and I needed the funds, so sure! I had no problem at all looking like "Uncle Fester" for a few weeks. I like having my hair less than 1/4" long. I periodically go that short when I get tired of brushing out tangles.
@@nancythane5672 Yeah there are two options, either someone does it on purpose or they do it for a medical issue. So who thinks laughing at bald women is even happening sometimes? Cancer isn't funny to anyone and everyone knows someone who died from it.
Even more insulting to women who rock the bald look or the one's like OP who are battling cancer.
@@nancythane5672I can’t stand my hair long for that same reason, my parents both have wavy hair and it tangles very easily the longer it gets.
Last Story: The father in law should get jailed as well as he's an accomplice to the kidnapping meaning he well get charged with accessory to kidnapping.
While in the Navy, our ship made port in Rhodes, Greece, which at the time was a mecca for European tourists, particularly England, Scotland, and Ireland. A few of my fellow sailors and I ventured into a rather popular pub one afternoon and found it crowded. One table with a couple flagged us as we were looking around for a place to sit, and in a thick Irish brogue offered us to join them. Spent the rest of that afternoon and a good bit of the evening with them, enjoying their company. Friendly, funny, well-informed, and just plain wonderful to hang out with them. Even though it was some 35 years ago, I still remember them. Wonderful people.
Thumbs up for the "I'm using good manners as an insult" line!
Story 1: I have my own handicap placard, which I've used maybe twice since I got it. It's for when I have off days. If I'm having a good day (by my standards), I'm saving those spots for those who need them more. Go OP
Story 1: Kudos to up for actually following the law concerning the handicap placard. We have a young woman in our complex who moved into a 1bdrm apt with her mother after the father passed away. She's been using her father's handicap placard ever since she moved in.
A short time ago, my wife developed a neurological issue affecting leg strength so we got her a placard for her car. Coming home after a long Dr's appt, wife forgot to put the placard up and the young woman called the office to report her car. So after I went and put the wife's placard up, I recorded the illegal placard's info and reported it to the police for misuse.
The cop who lives in our complex now checks the woman's car ever day for the illegal placard when he comes home.
Last Story. For real, I wanna know what mother-in-law's endgame was. What was she planning to accomplish by kidnapping OP's son as well as his wife's kid brothers?
It's one thing to be against who your child marries, even if they've done nothing to prove they'd make a bad spouse because OP hasn't done anything wrong, but to kidnap their child?
What? Did mother-in-law believe that because her daughter didn't listen to her and got married anyway, she should take away her child to punish her?
Some people need to either get a reality check or go back to living in a cave with the rest of the forgotten neanderthals because if you believe you can still dictate your kid's life even when they're a grown adult, to the point where you try to teach them a lesson by kidnapping their children, you're not ready to join us normal people and you need to screw off from society altogether!
It probably had something to do with the cult she was in, I doubt many people would try something like that without expecting support from somewhere. The 'things found' in her phone and home also suggest as much but we'll just have to wait for an update I guess.
I think she may have been trying to “rehome” the kid to someone in her “cult”. Give the kid to someone more “deserving” who has the same beliefs.
@@meadowsong8560 So... she's insane, how typical of these cultists 😒
Let me clarify first that MIL is definitely in the wrong.
I think MIL's actions make more sense from MIL's POV when you consider that I think Fluff is wrong by referring to OP and HIS wife.
I'm pretty sure OP is a woman, which is why it was mentioned that MIL is homophobic and still goes to church
As a person who lost a relative to cancer a couple of years ago the grandmother is lucky that her grandson has someone who survived and now is still around from cancer
Irish Pub story: I completely agree. Apparently those girls had no idea and are equally ignorant of the word, "craic", and what it means. If you are unwilling learn anything about where you're going it's best to be polite and perhaps someone may just teach you something you won't find in a book.
I got the craic and I'm from America.
Re the naked pizza customer, OP should have said, "Well, that show you gave me is worth $2 off" and brace himself for the reaction.
You're generous, I was more thinking tell her you should be paying me for making me see that.
$2? It's probably not even worth 2 cents.
I'm not really surprised that the pizza dude got the 'free"show. Both of my sibs(older brother and sister) at one point delivered pizza. And we all have our shares of stories. My brother in particular. He had MANY a woman answer the door sans clothing. I've had stoners get very happy when they saw me with the pizza, they gave great tips. Food delivery is an experience, that is for sure.
Last story: what's wrong with father-in-law? Is he OK? WTF? I'm confused by his actions
*Last Story:* My grandmother was homophobic but even she found it in her heart to accept my cousin's bisexuality, and even me officiating over her wedding to her wife when I still had a ministerial license. And she was LDS. That MIL was on a whole different level from any sane person, Christian or not.
And MIL didn't think she'd get really bad repercussions from kidnapping a child!? She fully deserves prison time.
I really don't get open homophobia (I don't care if your homophobic in the privacy of your own head). My grandmother was a NUN and never said anything bad about my mother or sister being bisexual.
And because it's asked frequently- she was a LAY nun, and joined the Carmelite order later in her life. Meaning that yes she was allowed to be married, and she lived outside a convent.

My grandmother is a Christian and she'd rebuke the hell out of that MIL for being as un-Christian as you can get. Jesus never said anything against LGBTQ+ people. And this is coming from an atheist heathen. I read the Norse myths here and there but I'm an atheist about it.

Story 5: Yeah, my biodad had that opinion of his health. Super proud of the fact he'd never been in a hospital for himself his entire life (Was a home birth, too). Meanwhile he was ignoring the fact one of his legs didn't wanna work like just "a thing that is" and not willing to hear about doing something about it. Eventually the bum leg caused him to fall and I INSISTED the medics take him in (I'd moved back home to try'n save him from himself) and whaddya know, his heart was about kaput and he was riddled with clots. Clots that were the root cause of that bum leg, since his muscles couldn't get enough oxygen to work right; clots that were also why he was so short of breath, because the largest concentration was in his lungs. Seriously, when he was in the ICU his heart was blatantly much, much weaker than many of the people who didn't make it out. Marveled at it every time I visited on the communal vitals monitor near the nurse's station.
I bet you that OP's JNMIL also doesn't keep up on her health with proper professionals any more than my biodad did.

Hopefully her number and address got blacklisted from all delivery services in the community, no one deserves that horrendous sight.

The bullying I received in middle school because of that was terrible. The stress it was causing was causing my hair to keep falling out. My dad would often tell me "bald is beautiful" while strangers would almost immediately butt into my life with "omg what kind of cancer do you have? How long do you have left?"
I don't know why... but it feels more insulting to me to have somebody immediately ASSUME it's cancer rather than the fact I could be bald for other reasons than a perceived death sentence.
That story 7. My father is like that. Trying to manipulate the family with money and inheritance but now he is surprised it doesn't work on me or my sister.
Is sounds like your dad and the MIL form this story don't release that these people don't like them their just waiting for them to kick the bucket.
Story 2. It’s hard enough for people who have been genuinely sexually assaulted without dirty scutters like that woman making things up. Shameful!
Story 8: Mother-in-law was just trying to hide behind religion as an excuse for her behavior like some other people in these stories do. Father-in-law should have stayed in jail as well but of course, he was released. He knew what the mother-in-law was doing and he didn't do anything about it.
Edit: They were charged with kidnapping! This is another example of why the criminal justice system is broken.
But, they're faaaaamileeeee!
What do you mean? MIL and FIL actually kidnapped the child. The criminal justice system is not broken. It is doing exactly as it is intended to do - charging MIL with kidnapping and charging the FIL as her accomplice. Which they both deserve!
Even though both got charged fairly in this case, the father-in-law got released even though he should have stayed in jail, just like the mother-in-law. That is what I was talking about. There are a lot of cases where people get out of jail early and don't serve their full sentence that should have stayed in jail. Others have been wrongfully committed and that they are in jail for something that they didn't do (not related to this particular case).
@@craigpatterson2592FiL likely just had to pay a fine for being an accomplice. MiL is going to stay for a long time; too much evidence against her to let her out early unless they release her due to terminal illness.
After I did a little research I agree. That was what most likely happened. My stance is that if someone knowingly supports a crime, knows the severity of the crime, and if they don't try to stop or help stop the crime, help to stop the perpetrator, or try to remove themselves and help catch the perpetrator of the crime in any way, then not only should they be charged with the same charges as the perpetrator but they should serve the same time in jail as well.
The son immediately telling grandma off about not talking to his mom like that was super sweet. It sounded like he went for the throat as soon as he heard what grandma said to his mom with no hesitation. Good on him and good on momma for raising her boy right
That hair loss due to cancer makes me mad. I’m growing a mullet as a big double middle finger to cancer and chemo. Mine thinned but never completely went away. I’m Stage 4 currently in remission.
Story 1: both my dad and grandpa are legally handicapped and never throughout their lives have thay heard of this ridiculous "law"
Handicap parking story: I'm handicapped and do use handicapped parking when available. But you'd be surprised at how often ALL the handicapped parking is taken up and I have to park halfway across the parking lot in a "normal" parking space. Strangely enough, I've never received a parking ticket for that though.
McDonald's story: Just wow! People have limits lady, and you tried to bulldoze OP's. If you had been upfront, he MIGHT have at least gotten you each an item from the dollar menu, but you tried to be greedy, so you got nothing. But I doubt you learned your lesson.
Naked pizza story: Fluff, people do incredibly stupid things. As a retired truck driver I saw a great deal of "strange" behavior when driving. Everything from being flashed to watching people drive with their knees while putting on makeup in the rearview mirror or reading a newspaper to literally watching people making out while driving. At least for me it wasn't close up and personal the way it was for the OP in the story.
Mother's day meal story: Wow! If she really wanted something "unique", she should have either ordered first and told the others not to order what she did or paid attention to what the others ordered and ordered something different. But I'm curious. Does the "special" meal apply to every other person eating in the restaurant? Yeah, get rid of friend A. She and her mom are nuts!
Cancer story: I would talk to your husband OP and tell him his mother is no longer welcome in your home until she makes a SINCERE apology and enforce it!
Kidnapping story: All I can say is: "Good grief!"
The McDonalds story: The woman is part of a shakedown gang. They operate by her being the front finding a 'sucker' to offer to pay for lunch. Once they're at the counter, she signals her group to swoop in and order all the expensive items from the menu.
These people need to be banned from all eateries nationwide!
Story 1: I was half expecting Karen to park in the handicapped spot illegally and says she has kids or something(you’ve heard Fluff read at least enough to count on two hands)
Ladies and gentleman: LETTING👏A👏DUDE👏NUT👏IN👏YOU👏DOESNT👏MAKE👏YOU👏HANDICAPPED👏
Story 6, no grandchildren no money no problem. But remember when you are older and need things done to help you out, we will not be there. Go contact those with the grandkids.
The pizza delivery guy should have told the woman that he's gay and her body was worth nothing to him!😂
I can't believe that's the first time the mother in law has been that nasty, so she is way past her expiration date and needs Tobe cancelled immediately.
Story 3: Lol Karen. If you want to get stuff for stripping, find a club. Even if OP had been impressed by her "show," giving away free pizza is not the deliveryperson's call.
Story 4: ...Wtf.
Story 8: Yikes. The hint about the crazy MiL having bad stuff on her phone is truly scary. Some Christian.
10:09 Hell yes...this kid's my spirit animal. "You look like a scarecrow in the yard of a loony bin" r/rareinsults
That kid sounds like the kind of person everyone would want as a friend
Story 5) Cancer treatment caused hair loss, OP shaves her head.
Bald women can be very beautiful.
Cases: Star Trek movie one character was a young actress whose character was bald.
Most recently from the Marvel Universe, Tilda Swinton played The Ancient One or Sorcerer Supreme in "Doctor Strange" and she was very beautiful despite her costumes weren't overly feminine.
I hope OP in story 4 showed that text to the school, cuz that's definitely enough to at least suspend the "friend" for a little bit
Imagine being such a controlling parent that you enlist your child to start abusing others!!!
My sister is a CNA and she works for a very elderly couple. They have a good bit of money, investments, land, etc etc. So they're very well off. The man died a while back and so it's just the elderly woman. Since father/grandfather isn't in the picture to put his foot down anymore my sister says their family is divided in half. Half does things for and wants the best for their mother/grandmother while she's still alive. The other half are a bunch of vultures greedily waiting on her to die. The sad thing is that the person that has power of attorney at the moment is on the vulture side. My sister said it's to the point that everyone that legitimately cares for the woman is being shunned out to the point they're not allowed at the woman's house unless asked an approved in advance and is supervised by one of the vultures. The thing is my sister got close to the family and to the man while he was alive. He knew and predicted that something like this would happen once he died. My sister knows what some of the things was on his Will and some won't take effect till after mom/grandmother dies. So due to my sister knows partly what's on the Will she knows the upcoming rude awakening that WILL happen that a lot of those vultures will not like at all.
It's like I grew up in a family that didn't have lots of money. We wasn't broke but we didn't live out of our means. When my grandmother died and my aunts, uncles, dad asked us grandchildren if we wanted something lots of people was going after lots of different things. The only things I asked for was this wooden foot/back massager and the bird feeder that hung outside my grandmother's kitchen window because I loved watching the birds come to it every time we would visit.
You’d be surprised about people thinking that having a handicapped placard means you have to park in a handicapped spot. I used to write parking citations a few hours a week in college (I was a POS, I know 😂) and the supervisor sent out an email saying that 4 out of 5 of us had written tickets for handicapped placard having cars for illegally parking in normal spots. I was the 1 out of 5 who did not, because I’m not a complete moron, just mostly one. I was genuinely surprised that they actually thought handicaps are required to park in handicap spots
I'm a woman with a shaved head and no one laughs at me. And yes I've taken it to full skin with a razor.
"I GAVE YOU A FREE SHOW SO YOU KERD TO GIVE ME PIZZA FOR FREE!"
"Ma'am... All you did was scar me by showing off your body. If anything you should be paying for my counseling."
I will say it again "Karen's are stupid" (on top of entitled)
People that ACTUALLY NEED money-food etf are so grateful! I have had so many wholesome moments with homeless people. You can tell when they actually need something. 1) went to a shop and a guy asked me for some change. , I said that I do not carry cash, but I can I get him some food - he said oh, thank you soso much!! I have food for today, asking something little for tomorrow. don't worry. Thank you!! 2) bought a meal deal - so you pay the same for three items as for two. And I did not want the snack - saw a guy and went and offered him a little tiny bag of crisps. He was sooooo grateful. After that I went and took out some cash to give him, but didn't see him again. :( etcetc. So many stories like that...
Story 5 I have a feeling Karma is going to give MiL exactly what she deserves.
My husband, too, was homeless until he was old enough to go into military service, so he's sensitive to the plite of the homeless.
He frequently sees beggars ar various locations, but if their hair is clean and neatly trimmed, their clothes are clean and in good repair, they themselves are clean, and their shoes are clean (the beggars with sparkling white sneakers enrage him) and look nearly new, the odds are that they probably have more money than we do.
The ones he feels are legit? He'll go to a fast food place, get coffee and a meal, then circle around to that person to offer the bag of food. If they happily accept it and thank him, he'll often add some cash. I have seen a few break into tears at this. Knowing that there is really nothing more we can do for them, I have often cried, myself. However, he's had a rare few who've refused it, demanding money instead. To those, he has a few choice words, and he'll drive off, food and all.
Inheritance Karen: you could even argue economically! How much does a kid cost from age 0 to 18? Or 25, if you want to "invest" into a higher education? Is it less than the inheritance? And if not, what's the benefit of inheriting money?!? Oh, "faaaaamily"... Yeah, that shouldn't be about money!
About story 5.
This keeps niggling at the back of my mind. The last paragraph where OP says something to the effect that due to what was found in MIL's phone and house, she won't be getting out anytime soon. Made me wonder if that information included things pertaining to child endangerment. Specific things.
Just a thought.
Deaf Momma here- language young person!! I like your story and I think its funny that when she discovered you were deaf, she probably yelled louder. You did good!! 🤟🏻❤️
So I am very shy and socially awkward so I wouldn't be comfortable sitting and talking with a stranger. With that said I wouldn't demand someone move for me.
I have diagnosed Agoraphobia but it's not a big deal here in Australia, so I don't mind and sometimes even enjoy it. It's honestly really healing for me to have nice, small talks with strangers, too.
Story 5: "don't kick the bucket yourself"
Ah, that's how it's said in English? In Spanish I was taught to "try to not spit upwards".
English is replete with expressions which all refer to the end of one's life on this Earth:
"Kicked the bucket"
"Bought the farm"
"Checked out"
"Pushing up daisies"
"Taking a dirt nap"
"Six feet under"
These are just some of the less elaborate expressions which I can remember off-hand.
Last story: Why was FIL released? He's an accomplice!
Karen must have really been confident with her figure if she thought her nudity was enough to pay for pizza.
Story 5: if I was OP I would have gone out and gotten a wig that looked exactly like MIL’s hairstyle/color. Wear that around her and just wait for the sparks. Just make sure she doesn’t think it is a tribute.
Story 5: Wow...OP's son is fucking AWESOME! Never let someone...anyone...speak to you like MIL did. She needs to never be allowed back in your home OP.
Story 7: What part of vasectomy is MIL not understanding? I would have responded: All the money we're saving by NOT having kids will make us three times richer by your age anyway.
Story 8: The FIL assisted in the kidnapping of OP & her wife's child...he should be held liable for that crime. Maybe OP & wife should sue them for the mental anguish caused too.
Story 5 legitimately enrages me. That MIL needs to learn some respect. Hair falling out is not fun, and neither is being made of for something you have no control over.
Story 3, as a former pizza delivery/supervisor for 13 years, 7 times for similar situations
Story #6: The Dublin Pub...
This is another version of the 1960's novel "The Ugly American." In this case you have a group of Americans who don't understand Irish Pub Etiquette. They look boorish while trying to "assert their rights." Which generally don't exist.
Story 6, not at all uncommon for American tourists
I would love an update for story 4.
I’ve been thinking about this and I’m sure you all can give me some good judgment:
I used to work as a cashier at a dollar store and theft was a huge problem for us. As usual with any retail job, if something gets stolen *I* would be blamed for allowing it, which is as stupid as it sounds.
This older lady comes to the checkout and as I was ringing her up, she said she wanted to show her friend a bottle of cleaner I guess to see if she wanted it. Her friend was in her car by the doorway so that means she could step out with the product she didn’t pay for.
What I did was stand to the side behind her about ten feet away with my hands in my pockets just in case I needed to step in. The lady took great offense to this and told me that I was accusing her of being a thief. I apologized profusely and tried to explain myself but she wouldn’t have it. She then exclaims after finishing paying for her items (she decided she didn’t want the cleaner) that she will never shop at this store again.
I turned to my manager who was there the whole time and asked if I handled the situation correctly. She didn’t care as she was doing counts on our cigarette stock.
A few months later the older lady walked in and was in dismay that I was still working there. Apparently her friend talked her into returning since she assumed I was fired for the whole thing. The lady runs to my manager (same one as before) and complains to her in hopes that I would be fired, which didn’t happen. She claimed I tried to grab her and was right behind her that night…
Anyway nothing happened to me but I still wonder how I should have dealt with that situation. So… in hindsight was I the a hole?
No!
First, to answer your question, no, you weren't the a-hole.
But also, the being blamed if something gets stolen thing does sound stupid. I'm lucky that the place I work, being the family-owned Mom-&-Pop local gaming shop that it is, are very much there for their employees. Something that the owners drill into us is, "If you are being robbed, give them the money. We would rather lose a couple hundred dollars than have you lose a life."
@@burntsquirrel2423That's why there is insurance!
No, not the asshole, and this old lady is dumb. I would have let you my bag so you'd be sure I wasn't going to steal.
People steal all the time it's nothing personnal
You weren't an asshole but you were a pushover. You tell her she can pay for it first and then she can do whatever she likes with it. Never ever ever, knowingly, let someone leave the store without paying first. If she tried to leave with the item there's nothing you can do legally to step in, you would be liable for assault. And absolutely don't apologize for doing your job. She was an entitled b-ch
#5: My ex's parents were convinced that any time a person was ill or hurt, it was God's punishment for some sin they'd committed. Innocent children were sick/hurt because of something their parents did. When we were divorced (I filed to get away from abuse) they repeatedly told me they prayed nothing happened to my children because of me. It gave me nightmares. But 40+ years later, I'm fine and my children are, too.
Yeah, I've known a lot of people like that. I've known people in hospice who were devastated they were dying bc they thought they were good Christians.
Hey @DarkFluff, the last story, it was OP and HER wife. That was the whole point of it. MIL was upset because her daughter and DIL were married to one another because she thinks it is a sin to be gay.
Longtime reader, relatively new subscriber. After being stuck in the ‘text conversation story’ universe, it is refreshing to be reading stories that aren’t endlessly recycled!
In the pub story, it is common place in Europe for strangers to share a table in a pub or even a restaurant. Found this out when I was stationed in Germany.
These stories amazes me of how entitled these people are
Story 4:
This is the second story I've heard about people claiming you can't eat the same thing as them: That is not A Thing, there's no rule anywhere that says that.
Story 8: Growing up, my grandparents would babysit me whenever Mom and Dad were busy. This being Hurricane country, there was one time that my mom was a bit late for picking me up before the storm. One of my Great Aunts tried to convince Grammy to take me with them when they evacuated, but she wisely refused.
She knew my Dad, her son, would have her arrested for kidnapping if she took me anywhere near the state line.
Mom eventually came and picked me up, and my grandparents got in the car and evacuated right behind us.
So he would rather is child be dead then crossing state lines?
@pshaw8406 clearly you don't know how evacuation works.
In this day and age, we get at least a week's warning before the storm hits and have a decent idea of the path 3 days ahead of time.
This is when you get out.
If you don't get out before the 24-hour mark, then you better be ready to whether the storm cause you ain't gonna outrun it.
The correct response to story 3 is "I'm gay, so pay me".
Story 3: Lady, you ordered from a family establishment, not an adult one 🤣
Story 5: MIL sounds like the type of person I would not hold back on in giving her a good tongue lashing - and having to be held back from smacking her in the mouth.
😂🤦😂
*Story 1... 👏😁👏 Kudos to the LEO for giving psycho Karen a ticket! A much deserved ticket, at that!*
Story 3! Back in the 60`s and early 70`s my dad was a telephone repairman, and he had a similar experience, some lady answered the door naked! 😂
On the story about the mother's day breakfast, your friend A and Mom A are NUTS.
Bruh... Friend A makes that threat, but he may have forgotten about B, C, and D.
Ooooooo! I want to know what the police found in MIL’s house!
Last story, it’s Op and HER wife. That’s why the MIL had a hard time about the relationship.
Story 3: I think pizza Karen's seen a bit too much from the Hub.
A nasty monster in law, u'd think a grown woman would have more respect to anyone PERIOD!!! Go bald everywhere with monster in law!
I had a man answer the door when I was a papergirl I was about 9 and it was Sat. or payday for paper delivery. The came to the door stark naked. I ran to a nice lady customers house and called my Dad. He got my money and a big tip plus the guy could no longer have paper delivery. this was late '50 or early '60s.
to all those who parade around naked or semi naked. no on what to see your body parts and if you continue, you will met a person who will bring you down and the people who will see your body parts will be in the morgue
I'm often going commando in my own home, as I live alone. But I always pull on pants and t-shirt to answer the door, which happens rarely. I have no family or friends that visit. The two who do accasionally visit know to call first.
