I love the situation with the deli ham and the woman demanding to see a manager. It reminds me of a time when I just started to work in the mens department of Montgomery Ward as a teenager in the 1980s. I had been there about 2 weeks and had one customer come in wanting to exchange a coat he purchased. I was nervous because I couldnt find the coat on the rack he puchased and went back to look at the label in the coat. After seeing the label, I politely told the customer that I was sorry but I could not exchange the coat. Before I could tell him why, he cut me off yelling that he demanded to speak to a manager at the top of his lungs. I calmly told him that I would be glad to get a manager but before I do, he needed to see the coat label. I told him "it says Sears, Roebuck & Co". He looked at me blankly like I was stupid and rudely yelled "SO, WHATS YOUR POINT?" I calmly and politely said "Sir, this is Montgomery Ward. Sears is our direct competitor and their store is in another mall 12 miles away. I cannot take back a coat that we don't sell. Would you still like to speak with a manager?" He turned red in the face, grabbed the coat and ran out the door. As I turned around, I saw my manager who had come over to the men's department because this man was heard all over the store screaming at me. She had just quietly walked up behind me just as I told him that I would be glad to get a manager. She was red in the face wih tears streaming down her face and covering her mouth. Just as the customer walked out of the door, she couldn't control herself any longer and laughed hysterically at what just happened. She told me how proud she was in the way that I calmly and politely handled him and the fact that she didn't have to speak with him as she was barely able to control her laughter and probably would have been fired!
The OP in the electricity bill story handled it perfectly. Not paying "a dime" as Fluff suggests definitely makes you more like the ex-girlfriend. OP paid what they owed but not a dime more. The absolute best way to do it.
Me personally I would've ignored her. And after she called several times. I would pick up saying in a whiny voice "like oh my goodness why do you keep calling me. It's like you want me back." Then hang up and block the number.
@@TheDarkLink7 That's petty, she deserves it, but nothing truly says "I just don't care anymore" like the reaction that the OP had. She obviously WANTED him to care - he just didn't. He just did as she asked of him.
Not to mention its possible the agreement to split the payments 3 ways could hold up enough in court to be a problem for OP. So OP and roommate are likely covering their bases.
@@ultimateninjaboi as well as an argument in court could be made that once he and her broke up. That the two of them didn't have any responsibilities to the last bill seeing as they got the electricity switched to their name.
One thing he did wrong was to not return the mail. You are not supposed to keep mail addressed to someone else. The girlfriend could have technically sued Op over that saying that she didn't get the bills and thought he was lying to get her to come over.
And record them being wrong. OP should have taken out a recording device turned to his brother and said I want video/audio evidence, this is not a good idea do you still want me to show this (insert name ) video to your kids. When he says yes turn it on then when he denies that he said yes play the video to remind him that yes wanted and yes you still wanted it
It made me chuckle. My brother is also never wrong, and in fact, what he says is the natural law of the universe, and cannot be challenged. If, however, he ever changes his mind, his new opinion is the natural law of the universe, and you are lying if you claim he ever held a different view. He's also a rabid racist. Oddly, we don't speak.
@@Sheylenna, OP's brother sounds like the type were if OP had attempted to record evidence of brothers wrongdoing he'd smash the recording device to erase said evidence to validate his sense of self-righteousness so OP should be very careful around an individual like that
"But you never warned me" Well gee, I wonder why that could be? Maybe because a certain SOMEONE kept interrupting me whenever I TRIED to warn them? Also, Moral of the Story 4 - If your Boss's Boss tells you to go home when they see you sick, YOU go home. Bob got exactly what he deserved, he almost got OP Killed form their Allergies.
Yeah no kidding. When I was a child in primary school one of my friends had a truly severe peanut allergy. She almost died when some idiot kid smuggled peanuts into school and got close enough to breathe it on her. Imagine being barely seven years old and having to slam the epipen into her outer thigh twice to buy enough time to get adults and paramedics. Of course few allergies are so sensitive but really it’s not something to take a chance with.
4th story: I have a similar story. I was in McDonalds ordering breakfast. There was a young woman who was looking flustered and having a bit of trouble. She was making a few mistakes here and there. It was her 2nd day and she had never worked fast food before (total sympathy here). The guy who was shadowing her and her trainer was not a nice person. Every time she made a mistake, he belittled and/or yelled at her. After hearing this for a bit, I yelled at him. I loudly said, "I don't care who you think you are! You do NOT get to treat her like that, nor talk to her like she's a child." He thumped over to me and said, "Sir, this is a private matter and really none of your business." I walked away and sat down, telling mom (who was with me) about the guy and what he was doing. Now, an older woman at the table next to us perked up and asked me about what I saw. After telling her, she got this determined look on her face and grabbed her tote bag. She asked me to point the guy out. So we walked back up to the counter. But I didn't need to point the guy out, as she could already see him in action. She got someone's attention and said who she was (regional manager), showing her name tag and papers and that she wanted to speak to the manager. Person goes pale and runs off, bring the manager back. She reiterates her credentials to him and they have a short conversation, at which point, the loud guy gets pulled aside and given a firm talking to by not only the manager, but by her. Now she didn't have him fire. She had him sent back for retraining, as well as some anger management and sensitivity training.
The refusing to board the plane thing is going to go a lot worse for the Karen than anybody is thinking -- these days if somebody checks their baggage but doesn't board the plane it's a major red flag. Like, they have to unload all of the baggage and remove her luggage in case it's got something dangerous on it. And if they can, they will absolutely fine the person who missed the flight for the airport fees incurred by the delay - she could be out many hundreds of thousands of dollars.
I try to never pack more than what I need to carry on. I don't take items that I could buy later at my destination, things like toiletries, and if there is absolutely something I must have from home, I simply ship it in advance to wherever I go, and then either leave it behind or ship it back home in the same box. So far the only time I've had to do that was for a very specific suit I needed to attend a wedding.
Nobody would be stupid enough to show up with lots of luggage to a domestic flight. Also, the guy at the counter already knew she had no luggage from her boarding pass ...
@@brag0001 What does the distance have to do with it? If I go on vacation in the same country I WILL pack enough to last for the entire time I'm away. I'm not gonna travel back and forth just to wash my laundry!
If you watch scientifically accurate Barney the dinosaur the song mentions parents who are out of touch and aren't paying attention to what their kids are doing which is just.... Deliciously ironic. Lol
Whenever I fly anywhere, I couldn't care less where they park me. As long as they take me to where I am going, what would it matter if I get an extra cushion or not? Losing your flight because you think you are entitled? Yeah good forward planning lady.
There is nothing more absurd than a Karen trying to use manipulation skills honed over a lifetime of entitlement. She will never get used to hearing “no.”
As one who has actually administered medicine to the dead (paramedic, worked patients who were pulseless and not breathing, which is technically dead in our book), I can absolutely confirm this is... ALMOST true. Actually, there's an 11% chance of getting the dead person back. Better odds than winning that argument.
11%? Wow then my first aid trainer who taught us CPR was clearly being optimistic when he said we had a 40% chance of bringing someone back! (Bearing in mind we’re not paramedics nor any kind of medical professional. We just learn the very basics of CPR and bandaging and treating very basic conditions. At the time we didn’t have defibrillators though nowadays we got the idiotproof version but absolutely no drugs.)
@@mikoto7693 40?! I'd like to know what part of the world your instructor is from. We all know US healthcare is lacking, but either there's an even bigger deficit than I thought, or someone is misrepresenting the numbers (for better or worse). I could understand 40 if they still had a pulse, and just weren't breathing, but... wow.
I have an Aunt like the brother in the first story. She’s literally argued during a pool party with me about if her dog stole my pizza slice… right after she’d seen the dog grabbed the food, caught him, and pulled it out of his mouth yelling about meat(she had her dog- a HUSKY- on a vegan diet the whole time she had him). I was about 8 at the time. I also told her I wanted to be a veterinarian when I grew up(which feels like a fairly mature goal for a 6-7 year old) and she said, and I quote, “if you like animals, you shouldn’t be a veterinarian. You’ll see lots of animals die!” Thaaanks Auntie. That’s the encouragement you should give to children. Her husband is just like her, and I’m so glad they don’t have children . They’d stuff the poor kids with fake vegan cheese and live off restaurants for eternity. She seems to have some aversion to stocking up her pantry with anything other then dates and pecans. Now to be clear there’s nothing wrong with being Vegan. The problem is when she sat us down and put on a gory documentary about meat farms to try and scare us into being vegan too. Or that she feeds her cats and dogs vegan animal food, completely careless to their dietary needs or the veterinarians advice. Or when my grandmother lived with her and was banned from any non-vegan things, even the milk she takes her pills with. I’m glad I’ve cut off all contact with her, and now I don’t have to listen to her whining about “how mean you all are to me!!”
The visuals of the ham story were amped up a hundred fold upon hearing "Karen gets this look like I just took a dump in a baggie and handed it to her"...and something about the way Fluffy said it actually had me choking on a sip of water laughing 🤣🤣🤣
True though. After binging on these videos I’m starting to truly appreciate how lucky I am to have a decent boss. When I had to take six weeks minimum to recover from a medical condition that put me in hospital for five days and I came in to hand over my doctors note I also let her see my hospital discharge letter. I didn’t need to but I wanted to ensure beyond doubt the need was legit. So she reads the doctors note, reads the discharge papers and from the length of time she took I knew she was reading it thouroghly. Finally she said. “If you need more than six weeks, inform me no later than five weeks so I can arrange cover, and we’ll talk about the options for extending the sick leave or use a bit of your annual leave.” She looks me in the eye and says. “I mean this in the nicest possible way, but I don’t want to see you again until you’re fully recovered.” She then explained she’d rather we take our time to get it right than rush me back to work, overdo it and have to take more time off. Somehow she manages to somehow balance compassion, practicality and efficiency.
Random funny Barney story: Barney got me my first job. To be more specific, shooting Barney. In the mid-90's, Doom had been around long enough for people to figure out how to create character skins, and a mod to change the characters to Barney had made its way onto the BBS boards that predated the internet. I had been asked by a friend to install the mod for him, which I did. He started to talk to the owner of the local computer store who asked him to ask me if I could go install it for him. I agreed, and as I was doing the work and started shooting Barney, he looked at me and said "want a job?" It was good for a first job, as it lead to future employment, and I'm still friends with that boss nearly 30 years later. So thanks for getting cut up by a chainsaw Barney.
I remember a Wolfenstein 3d mod with Butt-head replacing the stormtroopers/brownshirts, Beavis replacing the SS guards, and Barney as Hans Grosse -- I may still have that mod on a USB stick
Once Bob heard his boss was over ruling him and telling her to go home he should have immediately gone on the defensive and damage control so that he might get a few lumps and bruises but be able to limp off through the rest of his day. Instead he assumed she was lying and doubled down and got the full beat down because if it. I’m so glad he was an idiot too so he got the full punishment he deserved for being a jerk!
In the first story, the mistake is that when the brother insisted that he put the bad video on, he should have handed the remote to the brother, and told HIM to put on the video.
the forcing someone extremely allergic... isn't just lawsuits. OH&S sanctions (which can close down stores). OP should have stated that he refused to work there under health and safety concerns, and if still told to do it, have contacted HR.
Oh my God. You just reminded me of when I was working in retail over a decade ago. I heard it sooo many times. I wondered if any of them realised nobody gave a damn, especially as at the time it was the biggest supermarket chain in Britain.
Yeah, it’s so satisfying. Unfortunately, these tactics probably work a lot of the time, otherwise, these people wouldn’t be shocked when it doesn’t work out for them.
When I was 15 I worked at a small theme park. Something was in the air this particular day and I busted out in a sneezing fit. My eyes were watering and I could barely catch a breath without sneezing. I was working in a popcorn and soda stand....but the park was short staffed so my supervisors refused to let me go home. Instead they insisted I take some Benadryl. I spent a miserable shift in my snack shack trying not to sneeze in food or faces. Later I called in "sick" on a holiday instead.
Fourth story: This dude doesn't even deserve to have a job. He should know that endanger workers create lawsuits and the company will know and destroy him for causing them problems.
I work at a nursing facility in the kitchen and one of our bosses had us working from 5:30 in the morning to 8:00 at night and and was always leaving early or not even showing up and not getting the stuff we needed. I think I fell asleep a few times on the way home from work having to work at least 3 or more doubles on top of maybe three regular 8 hour days. Every single one of us were at our whit's end and were all about ready to leave cause she wouldn't help us and when something went wrong, we were to blame, not her. Add to the fact that when the kitchen staff was right, she would take the Nurse's and Nurse's Aides side. Piss off your employees and make them work ungodly hours that could kill them or someone else due to lack of sleep and the like, I'm glad she's not a manager anymore.
I'm a head cashier at a Home Depot and am happy to say no manager at my store would do what that one did. They go out of their way to accommodate associates' needs. Yesterday we had a no-call-no-show and were already understaffed on the front end, and the MOD (manager on duty) ran the SCO (self checkout) for two hours herself until another register-trained associate came in who could cover it, even though she had other responsibilities. She then covered two cashiers' breaks.
Story 2 - 8:05 "Is this a tactic that people use..." Plans aren't always fully booked and airlines will sometimes sell last minute tickets or upgrades at a steep discounted price. That is why there are apps that track spare seats on planes. This Karen probably thought she could use her "clout as a silver member" to swing a free upgrade without realizing that silver members are basically nothing to airlines and they don't actually care about her business that much.
Yeah to be fair if that Karen wanted first class that much she should have bought it herself. The way I see is that if you do get upgraded for free due to a partially full plane then it’s a nice surprise but I’d never walk into an airport expecting or demanding it.
The allergy story is an example for complete idiotic management. Even without allergies you want to match the knowledge and interest of the employees towards the goods in a section as much as possible. What good is an employee in the garden section who can't distinguish between a tulip and parsley but loves cars and one in the car section who answers a question about beetles with a recommendation for bug spray but loves plants. exchange them and you have two happy employees which might give great customer service on topics they really know.
Story 3: "Have fun in the dark! Lol" Well, she didn't realized that she was in the dark about the debt... Story 4: Take care of your employees or see yourself out of the job
"I just leave, there's no winning this argument" kinda true... it's hard to win an argument against a smart person, it's IMPOSSIBLE to win an argument against an idiot.
4th story: I salute OP for taking one for the team despite their allergies. Made the workplace better for everyone in the end (don’t forget the manager had been tossing complaints for *5 years).*
Story 1: I would have said "It's not appropriate" and set the remote down on the table. When brother picks it up quickly say "I warned you" The rest is on him. Story 2: You can't get everything for free Karen...you are NOT important...no matter what you might think. Story 3: I would have given her nothing after the 2nd warning...especially after her little jab...not a single cent. Story 4: Throwing out employee complaints is a HUGE no-no and a breech of company policy...bye Bob! Story 5: I love how OP totally trashed a Karen in PUBLIC...and got praised for it from both managers!! Bahahahaha!!!
In my town the electricity bill actually does work the way the jerk thought. I tried to switch to my name when moving into a new place and they said the outstanding balance had to be taken care of first .... WHAT!? I just moved there!!! I had to get the landlord to go pay it for the last tenant before they'd give me electricity. Annoying.
When I worked survey, I informed my bosses that I was severely allergic to poison ivy and poison sumac. We came to a part of the project that had a large area of it and everyone but me had to work there. They were asked if they were allergic to it and they called me a wuss for not working there. The next day over half of them were home sick from blistering rashes and other related symptoms.
Honestly that’s why when a doctor asks me if I have any allergies, I answer with. “None that I know of.” As there is the possibility of having an allergy to certain medications that I don’t know about because I’ve never been given it before.
what i find absolutely annoying is i fly first class. sure its like 2-3x coach, but the extra space is so worth it when you are flying for more than 1 hour, and i typically do 3-4 hour flights. but what i find absolutely annoying is they announce their first loading which is usually people in wheelchairs or people with toddlers that need extra time to board. then the huge flock of people all crowd up the line to get on the plane waiting and they are all coach. i am always like wtf, all you are doing is blocking those that they are calling to board from boarding. when they finally announce first class i always make a point to walk up to the crowd of people asking if they are first class and trying to board, and when they inevitably say no, then say why are you blocking me from boarding, its not like the seats are first come first serve.
To Up Your Chances on getting Upgraded to a First Class Seat on a flight is 1. Dress the part. If you're dressed nice & professional; 3 piece suit or even a blazer, ladies a nice dinner dress; they're more likely to bump you up because ppl in first class like to see ppl who at least look like they belong in first class. 2. When boarding the plane acknowledge the flight attendants with a genuine smile & "GoodMoring/Evening how's your day going today?" or some other polite greeting. Flight Attendants always have to attend strangers & never really get the appreciation for it. By acknowledging one & talking to one as a human rather as a servant, will get you noticed. 3. Be patient & kind with other passengers. If youre taking your time in a calm manner to help others & be the last to bored, chances are all uphead storage compartments may be full in economy. So, since you were so lovely, patient & kind, you are more likely to get an upgrade. 🤗
One of homedepot policies is that the employees' legal cost are covered by homedepot when the employees sue for work related stuff. So It might be an interesting lawsuit with homedepot paying the plaintiff to sue themselves.
I flew trans Atlantic lots in the 70 - 80s when the airline gave you the seat assignment. The agent asked for my preference. I gave him my favorite seat nr. It wasn’t available, so I asked for the same row on the other side of the plane. It wasn’t free, either. After explaining my preference (it had more leg room than anything else in tourist class), he said, “oh, interesting. I’ll bump your ticket to Business Class”. On a trans Atlantic flight?! Best flight ever, and all for the price of a smile!
Petty thoughts for the light bill situation: I would've stood on the front porch, origami'd the money into planes, tossed towards her and hoped for a mega windy day!! 🤣😈
“Have fun in the dark”? Hahaha. The bill is in her name, so the only one who suffers is her as her credit gets destroyed. Clearly she didn’t understand how reality works.
In story 3, its possible that the agreement to split the bill 3 ways was either in writing, or somehow proper enough to hold up as a contract/formal agreement in court. So even if the bill was in her name, theres a chance that it could be taken to court to try and get the 80 bucks from OP and roommate. (Even if it didnt end up succeeding, it couldve held enough water to not just instantly get dismissed, and cost OP more than the 40 bucks in fees.) That said, the late fees are entirely on her, as OP absolutely made the attempt to make the payment happen, and the ex very clearly and explicitly (in text/writing) was making the choice not to pay the bill that was in her name. So the fees are on her. So it sorta makes sense that OP/roommate are paying the $80, if just to cover their asses.
Petition to stop Stevo abuse. A change needs to happen and it needs to happen NOW. And while you're at it, you can give me a bunch of money to definitely go into spear-heading the project.
I am a retired respiratory therapist and I also have asthma/ Chronic bronchitis one year everyone in our department was coming down with the flu so when I called in saying that I was sick they told me to come in or I would be fired. When I was giving many of my patients their treatments they told me I sounded awful and one of our frequent patients told me I should be in the bed because I sounded worse then she did. Well at the end of my shift I went into the er and was admitted to the icu and I was out of work for a month.
There are far too many people in the world who make up their mind on something and refuse to accept that they're wrong, even when shown irrefutable evidence that they are.
He said he didn’t give her a cent towards the late fees but I think he could’ve refused to pay his share of the final payment after she spent all that time mooching off of him!
Some airlines do offer upgrades for payment of a fee. I have used this once after a a difficult trip involving my wife ending up in hospital for heart surgery in her hometown.
15:06 How does a company not realize a manager has been throwing out complaints for *5 YEARS?!?* Did they just think he was _that_ amazing? I’m not saying they’re lazy or should always assume the worst, but _no_ complaints would be a red flag for me. Even kind, understanding, hard-working bosses will have a complaint from an employee at some point. It’s inevitable because some people just *need* to complain about, well, anything and everything.🤷♀️
I wondered about that too. Sooner or later you will eventually get a complaint whether it was deserved or not, especially with any job that involves the general public.
@@mikoto7693 I can affirm this. Got my first customer complaint in the entire year and a half I've been working. Lady demanded I be fired because I handed her her Dominos pizza and said "Have a good day, stay healthy" a phrase I've been using for about 2 years due to obvious reasons. This lady was insecure enough that she assumed I was fat shaming her.
I had the youtube video situation happen to me. My nephew wanted to see stuff i knew wasnt on his parents “okay to view” list. My sister in law said turn it on since the temper tantrum had escalated from 0 to 100 in seconds after my saying no. I thought theres no way im turning that on and getting blamed! I slid the remote across the coffee table and made her turn it on. She learned a couple things that day. One was to listen to me once in a while…the other was, her parents could still yell at her no matter how old she was! She was caught red handed : )
The electric bill story reminded me of an old roommate I had. The lease was in both our names and half the utilities were split. The electric was in her name. So my roommate decided she wanted us to move to a different city but I did not want to move out of the city I was in. So she left 2 months before the lease ended. We had discussed that she would cover the remaining months left on the lease, but no she signed something at the leasing office that removed her from the lease. So now my rent doubled for two months. I was so mad. So she moved but did not transfer the electric bill into my name and I just stopped paying it. I figured if she is going to screw me on rent I will screw her on the electric bill.
Love listening to these stories. Reminds me when I worked for an auto parts store as a delivery driver. Oh the stories I could tell of that place. So happy I moved to bigger and better things.
To the ham story, this is why I never cater to regulars anymore. Too many of them get cocky and rude when you don’t comply to their demands like usual. They think they have a special in with you and then ask for more. Never cater to regulars, I’m sorry but they’re as replaceable as us.
First story: I would handed HIM the remote! "You do it yourself, jerk! And don't bother complaining, I warned you!" Not that it would have helped, as this entitled jerk obviously has never been put in his place...
Once had a friend ask to borrow some of my DVDs for their kids to watch, one of them was my "heavy metal" DVD,. Then after I told them that it was not a kid show, they borrowed it anyway, then got upset because it wasn't suitable for their kids to watch. Fortunately my friend was big enough to man up, argue with his wife, and admit that I had told him that it wasn't a kids show.
OP with the electric bill should have set up a small party to celebrate the last time he was giving her money. Nothing too big, just a Congratulation! banner, some balloons, a meat and cheese tray and a punch bowl.
I think every plac of business should have a sign stating proper conduct in the store and they will not be giving out freebies to anyone regardless of circumstance and only polite behavior will be tolerated.
As soon as I heard scientifically accurate, I knew this was gonna be an utter shit show for the brother. BTW, you should also check out the other scientifically accurate videos. Also, I just realized that the shot you showed from the video was only a few seconds away from demonitization. 😳
1st story: when the guy said: "I really don't", he made a mistake. Why didn't he just hand back the remote? Let the brother decide what his kid is watching.
First story: This reminds me of a bit I saw Jim Carrey do about when he lived in an apartment building, and a little boy from next door would knock on his door and ask him to do his impression of Barney, as in "Do the dinosaur!" Eventually, Jim got tired of Barney and did his impression of the Velociraptor from Jurassic Park. The kid stopped knocking on his door ;^D
Yes Yes it is I saw it on a connecting flight in Atlanta (can you guess the airline?) Old lady with a slightly younger boyfriend was in first class and was demanding her boyfriend be moved from economy to first due to her yelling the gate agent noped out of it. They were tired the plane was running almost 2 hours late and they had massive delays all day long due to perpetual pop up thunderstorms and it's almost 10:00PM. Ironically this meant they couldn't upgrade anyone and barring her and a few others (myself included) first class was wide open. The FAs were basically handing us baskets of snacks and multiple soda cans saying take them with you cause we have to toss them in the trash I offered to send some back to the back but because of screaming banshee they had to follow strict rules and couldn't do that or upgrade anyone.
bob was correct, the op needed documentation for accommodations stating he couldn't work garden section due to allergies, however, he went about it completely wrong. I would've said okay, this time I can work with you, but I need those docs from your doctor going forward
Story 1: Lmao! OP, thanks for the tip! Funny as heck! Did you catch the line about irresponsible parenting? Edit: As soon as I typed “scientifically” that video popped up as the first choice.
That’s absolutely possible. I once worked in retail and there were customers that really tried every trick in the book. From scouring the shelves looking for incorrect labels, to peeling the label off a more expensive, better quality item and swapping it with the label of the cheap version. You had to think suspiciously at the customer service desk. Oh, another favourite was attempting to return an item we didn’t even sell to get a “refund.”
My daughter loved Barney when she was young. But the books she forced me to read to her were the ones I was reading. By the time she was 4, I had read her Hunt for Red October, Patriot Games and Jurassic Park. Then she asked her father “Daddy, what kind of dinosaur is Barney.” For the rest of the time that she had the stuffed Barney, the Green Power Ranger was riding him and she was feeding all of dolls and stuffed animals to Barney.
As someone with allergies I hate the "it's just allergies" mindset. Clearly made by people without allergies
Yes! EXACTLY
Yeah and perfect response would've been to home depot guy is "Well it's just your job" or "Your funeral"
Some people are too stupid to understand other people.
I hate spring. It hates me back.
Yes. Fall is the worst time for me. So is spring.
I get sinus meds induced migraines and their awful.
Also, OP needs to get a lawyer involved.
I love the situation with the deli ham and the woman demanding to see a manager. It reminds me of a time when I just started to work in the mens department of Montgomery Ward as a teenager in the 1980s. I had been there about 2 weeks and had one customer come in wanting to exchange a coat he purchased. I was nervous because I couldnt find the coat on the rack he puchased and went back to look at the label in the coat. After seeing the label, I politely told the customer that I was sorry but I could not exchange the coat. Before I could tell him why, he cut me off yelling that he demanded to speak to a manager at the top of his lungs. I calmly told him that I would be glad to get a manager but before I do, he needed to see the coat label. I told him "it says Sears, Roebuck & Co". He looked at me blankly like I was stupid and rudely yelled "SO, WHATS YOUR POINT?" I calmly and politely said "Sir, this is Montgomery Ward. Sears is our direct competitor and their store is in another mall 12 miles away. I cannot take back a coat that we don't sell. Would you still like to speak with a manager?" He turned red in the face, grabbed the coat and ran out the door. As I turned around, I saw my manager who had come over to the men's department because this man was heard all over the store screaming at me. She had just quietly walked up behind me just as I told him that I would be glad to get a manager. She was red in the face wih tears streaming down her face and covering her mouth. Just as the customer walked out of the door, she couldn't control herself any longer and laughed hysterically at what just happened. She told me how proud she was in the way that I calmly and politely handled him and the fact that she didn't have to speak with him as she was barely able to control her laughter and probably would have been fired!
And THAT, boys and girls, is EXACTLY how to treat a Karen/Darren. Well done you!
"But Sir, this is a Wendy's!"
The OP in the electricity bill story handled it perfectly. Not paying "a dime" as Fluff suggests definitely makes you more like the ex-girlfriend. OP paid what they owed but not a dime more. The absolute best way to do it.
Me personally I would've ignored her. And after she called several times. I would pick up saying in a whiny voice "like oh my goodness why do you keep calling me. It's like you want me back." Then hang up and block the number.
@@TheDarkLink7 That's petty, she deserves it, but nothing truly says "I just don't care anymore" like the reaction that the OP had. She obviously WANTED him to care - he just didn't. He just did as she asked of him.
Not to mention its possible the agreement to split the payments 3 ways could hold up enough in court to be a problem for OP. So OP and roommate are likely covering their bases.
@@ultimateninjaboi as well as an argument in court could be made that once he and her broke up. That the two of them didn't have any responsibilities to the last bill seeing as they got the electricity switched to their name.
One thing he did wrong was to not return the mail. You are not supposed to keep mail addressed to someone else. The girlfriend could have technically sued Op over that saying that she didn't get the bills and thought he was lying to get her to come over.
Just my imagination:
Karen: If you don’t upgrade me, I’ll never use your airline again!
Agent: Do you promise?
I thought that same thing!!!
😂😂
*Right?! Like Oh Karen.. whatever will this airline do without you 200$... LMAO!*
I’d actually say that 😂😂
The only solution for someone who believes they can never be wrong is to let them drown in their own stupidity.
And record them being wrong. OP should have taken out a recording device turned to his brother and said I want video/audio evidence, this is not a good idea do you still want me to show this (insert name ) video to your kids. When he says yes turn it on then when he denies that he said yes play the video to remind him that yes wanted and yes you still wanted it
In this case drown in the tears of his bitty child and the yells of his toddler. 😭😖
It made me chuckle. My brother is also never wrong, and in fact, what he says is the natural law of the universe, and cannot be challenged. If, however, he ever changes his mind, his new opinion is the natural law of the universe, and you are lying if you claim he ever held a different view. He's also a rabid racist. Oddly, we don't speak.
@@Sheylenna, OP's brother sounds like the type were if OP had attempted to record evidence of brothers wrongdoing he'd smash the recording device to erase said evidence to validate his sense of self-righteousness so OP should be very careful around an individual like that
"But you never warned me"
Well gee, I wonder why that could be? Maybe because a certain SOMEONE kept interrupting me whenever I TRIED to warn them?
Also, Moral of the Story 4 - If your Boss's Boss tells you to go home when they see you sick, YOU go home. Bob got exactly what he deserved, he almost got OP Killed form their Allergies.
Yeah no kidding. When I was a child in primary school one of my friends had a truly severe peanut allergy. She almost died when some idiot kid smuggled peanuts into school and got close enough to breathe it on her.
Imagine being barely seven years old and having to slam the epipen into her outer thigh twice to buy enough time to get adults and paramedics.
Of course few allergies are so sensitive but really it’s not something to take a chance with.
4th story: I have a similar story.
I was in McDonalds ordering breakfast. There was a young woman who was looking flustered and having a bit of trouble. She was making a few mistakes here and there. It was her 2nd day and she had never worked fast food before (total sympathy here).
The guy who was shadowing her and her trainer was not a nice person. Every time she made a mistake, he belittled and/or yelled at her. After hearing this for a bit, I yelled at him.
I loudly said, "I don't care who you think you are! You do NOT get to treat her like that, nor talk to her like she's a child."
He thumped over to me and said, "Sir, this is a private matter and really none of your business."
I walked away and sat down, telling mom (who was with me) about the guy and what he was doing. Now, an older woman at the table next to us perked up and asked me about what I saw. After telling her, she got this determined look on her face and grabbed her tote bag. She asked me to point the guy out. So we walked back up to the counter. But I didn't need to point the guy out, as she could already see him in action.
She got someone's attention and said who she was (regional manager), showing her name tag and papers and that she wanted to speak to the manager. Person goes pale and runs off, bring the manager back. She reiterates her credentials to him and they have a short conversation, at which point, the loud guy gets pulled aside and given a firm talking to by not only the manager, but by her.
Now she didn't have him fire. She had him sent back for retraining, as well as some anger management and sensitivity training.
Freaking awesome! So glad you stood up to that bully and that she was in house that day to see things up close!!
Talk about being in the right place at the right time! Loved it 👍👏👏
The refusing to board the plane thing is going to go a lot worse for the Karen than anybody is thinking -- these days if somebody checks their baggage but doesn't board the plane it's a major red flag. Like, they have to unload all of the baggage and remove her luggage in case it's got something dangerous on it. And if they can, they will absolutely fine the person who missed the flight for the airport fees incurred by the delay - she could be out many hundreds of thousands of dollars.
Yes. This has been a regulation in my country (Canada) for 35 years now. If a passenger does not board the plane, their luggage MUST be removed.
And possibly get put on the no fly list.
I try to never pack more than what I need to carry on. I don't take items that I could buy later at my destination, things like toiletries, and if there is absolutely something I must have from home, I simply ship it in advance to wherever I go, and then either leave it behind or ship it back home in the same box. So far the only time I've had to do that was for a very specific suit I needed to attend a wedding.
Nobody would be stupid enough to show up with lots of luggage to a domestic flight.
Also, the guy at the counter already knew she had no luggage from her boarding pass ...
@@brag0001 What does the distance have to do with it? If I go on vacation in the same country I WILL pack enough to last for the entire time I'm away. I'm not gonna travel back and forth just to wash my laundry!
If you watch scientifically accurate Barney the dinosaur the song mentions parents who are out of touch and aren't paying attention to what their kids are doing which is just.... Deliciously ironic. Lol
The funniest part is if you've seen the video the screen shot he put up was just before they sing about his |)!¢|{
The irony of how accurate it is just makes it even funnier 😂
That airport story was so satisfying. I love when Karens throw a tantrum and get amazing karma.
Darkfluff: "Grab your dog, cat..."
Me: *petting my duck* "What about her?"
"Gimme first class!!!"
"No."
"..... I'LL HOLD MY BREATH!!!! 😖"
Don't demand *first* class when you've got *no* class. 😂
Demanding anything is a sign of no class. Asking nicely usually works. And has class.
Whenever I fly anywhere, I couldn't care less where they park me. As long as they take me to where I am going, what would it matter if I get an extra cushion or not? Losing your flight because you think you are entitled? Yeah good forward planning lady.
I would of called up front and said she's had a melt down and a flight risk when she goes to rebook
There is nothing more absurd than a Karen trying to use manipulation skills honed over a lifetime of entitlement. She will never get used to hearing “no.”
These stories are beautiful. People weaponizing sheer pettiness for all the right reasons. Malicious compliance is delicious compliance!
"Arguing with those who have foregone the use of reason is like administering medicine to the dead." -Thomas Jefferson
It's difficult to argue with a smart person & impossible to argue with an idiot - Mark Twain.
Wrong Thomas. ;) It was actually Paine.
As one who has actually administered medicine to the dead (paramedic, worked patients who were pulseless and not breathing, which is technically dead in our book), I can absolutely confirm this is... ALMOST true. Actually, there's an 11% chance of getting the dead person back. Better odds than winning that argument.
11%? Wow then my first aid trainer who taught us CPR was clearly being optimistic when he said we had a 40% chance of bringing someone back! (Bearing in mind we’re not paramedics nor any kind of medical professional. We just learn the very basics of CPR and bandaging and treating very basic conditions. At the time we didn’t have defibrillators though nowadays we got the idiotproof version but absolutely no drugs.)
@@mikoto7693 40?! I'd like to know what part of the world your instructor is from. We all know US healthcare is lacking, but either there's an even bigger deficit than I thought, or someone is misrepresenting the numbers (for better or worse).
I could understand 40 if they still had a pulse, and just weren't breathing, but... wow.
I have an Aunt like the brother in the first story. She’s literally argued during a pool party with me about if her dog stole my pizza slice… right after she’d seen the dog grabbed the food, caught him, and pulled it out of his mouth yelling about meat(she had her dog- a HUSKY- on a vegan diet the whole time she had him). I was about 8 at the time.
I also told her I wanted to be a veterinarian when I grew up(which feels like a fairly mature goal for a 6-7 year old) and she said, and I quote, “if you like animals, you shouldn’t be a veterinarian. You’ll see lots of animals die!” Thaaanks Auntie. That’s the encouragement you should give to children. Her husband is just like her, and I’m so glad they don’t have children . They’d stuff the poor kids with fake vegan cheese and live off restaurants for eternity. She seems to have some aversion to stocking up her pantry with anything other then dates and pecans.
Now to be clear there’s nothing wrong with being Vegan. The problem is when she sat us down and put on a gory documentary about meat farms to try and scare us into being vegan too. Or that she feeds her cats and dogs vegan animal food, completely careless to their dietary needs or the veterinarians advice. Or when my grandmother lived with her and was banned from any non-vegan things, even the milk she takes her pills with. I’m glad I’ve cut off all contact with her, and now I don’t have to listen to her whining about “how mean you all are to me!!”
The visuals of the ham story were amped up a hundred fold upon hearing "Karen gets this look like I just took a dump in a baggie and handed it to her"...and something about the way Fluffy said it actually had me choking on a sip of water laughing 🤣🤣🤣
"Employees health should be a number 1 concern for any manager."
Amazon: I'll ignore that.
True though. After binging on these videos I’m starting to truly appreciate how lucky I am to have a decent boss.
When I had to take six weeks minimum to recover from a medical condition that put me in hospital for five days and I came in to hand over my doctors note I also let her see my hospital discharge letter. I didn’t need to but I wanted to ensure beyond doubt the need was legit.
So she reads the doctors note, reads the discharge papers and from the length of time she took I knew she was reading it thouroghly. Finally she said. “If you need more than six weeks, inform me no later than five weeks so I can arrange cover, and we’ll talk about the options for extending the sick leave or use a bit of your annual leave.” She looks me in the eye and says. “I mean this in the nicest possible way, but I don’t want to see you again until you’re fully recovered.” She then explained she’d rather we take our time to get it right than rush me back to work, overdo it and have to take more time off.
Somehow she manages to somehow balance compassion, practicality and efficiency.
Amazon: has that got holes? I'm going to violate that.
every co, not just amazon
Random funny Barney story: Barney got me my first job. To be more specific, shooting Barney.
In the mid-90's, Doom had been around long enough for people to figure out how to create character skins, and a mod to change the characters to Barney had made its way onto the BBS boards that predated the internet. I had been asked by a friend to install the mod for him, which I did. He started to talk to the owner of the local computer store who asked him to ask me if I could go install it for him. I agreed, and as I was doing the work and started shooting Barney, he looked at me and said "want a job?"
It was good for a first job, as it lead to future employment, and I'm still friends with that boss nearly 30 years later. So thanks for getting cut up by a chainsaw Barney.
That was cool bro
I remember a Wolfenstein 3d mod with Butt-head replacing the stormtroopers/brownshirts, Beavis replacing the SS guards, and Barney as Hans Grosse -- I may still have that mod on a USB stick
We will all honor Barney’s noble sacrifice.
Once Bob heard his boss was over ruling him and telling her to go home he should have immediately gone on the defensive and damage control so that he might get a few lumps and bruises but be able to limp off through the rest of his day. Instead he assumed she was lying and doubled down and got the full beat down because if it. I’m so glad he was an idiot too so he got the full punishment he deserved for being a jerk!
In the first story, the mistake is that when the brother insisted that he put the bad video on, he should have handed the remote to the brother, and told HIM to put on the video.
Story 4: when OP says deathly allergic, doesn't forcing him to work in hazardous condition an attempted murder charge possible?
Good question though if that is a thing then manslaughter is probably most likely since I doubt the manager wasn’t intending to kill him.
Oh, snap!
the forcing someone extremely allergic... isn't just lawsuits. OH&S sanctions (which can close down stores). OP should have stated that he refused to work there under health and safety concerns, and if still told to do it, have contacted HR.
8:25 karen: you just lost a customer!
Literally every manager even: frankly my dear, I don't give a damn.
Oh my God. You just reminded me of when I was working in retail over a decade ago. I heard it sooo many times. I wondered if any of them realised nobody gave a damn, especially as at the time it was the biggest supermarket chain in Britain.
@@mikoto7693 Karen: I will never shop here again! Cashier: Promise?
I think they get what they ask for AND what they deserve. It's just not what THEY think they deserve.
Yeah, it’s so satisfying. Unfortunately, these tactics probably work a lot of the time, otherwise, these people wouldn’t be shocked when it doesn’t work out for them.
Second story: That's more than well deserved. And for that Karen, OP DID TELL HER, several times, but a Karen can only hear what she wants to hear.
Did tell
When I was 15 I worked at a small theme park. Something was in the air this particular day and I busted out in a sneezing fit. My eyes were watering and I could barely catch a breath without sneezing. I was working in a popcorn and soda stand....but the park was short staffed so my supervisors refused to let me go home. Instead they insisted I take some Benadryl. I spent a miserable shift in my snack shack trying not to sneeze in food or faces. Later I called in "sick" on a holiday instead.
Fourth story: This dude doesn't even deserve to have a job. He should know that endanger workers create lawsuits and the company will know and destroy him for causing them problems.
I work at a nursing facility in the kitchen and one of our bosses had us working from 5:30 in the morning to 8:00 at night and and was always leaving early or not even showing up and not getting the stuff we needed. I think I fell asleep a few times on the way home from work having to work at least 3 or more doubles on top of maybe three regular 8 hour days.
Every single one of us were at our whit's end and were all about ready to leave cause she wouldn't help us and when something went wrong, we were to blame, not her. Add to the fact that when the kitchen staff was right, she would take the Nurse's and Nurse's Aides side.
Piss off your employees and make them work ungodly hours that could kill them or someone else due to lack of sleep and the like, I'm glad she's not a manager anymore.
I'm a head cashier at a Home Depot and am happy to say no manager at my store would do what that one did. They go out of their way to accommodate associates' needs. Yesterday we had a no-call-no-show and were already understaffed on the front end, and the MOD (manager on duty) ran the SCO (self checkout) for two hours herself until another register-trained associate came in who could cover it, even though she had other responsibilities. She then covered two cashiers' breaks.
Story 2 - 8:05 "Is this a tactic that people use..."
Plans aren't always fully booked and airlines will sometimes sell last minute tickets or upgrades at a steep discounted price. That is why there are apps that track spare seats on planes. This Karen probably thought she could use her "clout as a silver member" to swing a free upgrade without realizing that silver members are basically nothing to airlines and they don't actually care about her business that much.
Yeah to be fair if that Karen wanted first class that much she should have bought it herself.
The way I see is that if you do get upgraded for free due to a partially full plane then it’s a nice surprise but I’d never walk into an airport expecting or demanding it.
The allergy story is an example for complete idiotic management. Even without allergies you want to match the knowledge and interest of the employees towards the goods in a section as much as possible. What good is an employee in the garden section who can't distinguish between a tulip and parsley but loves cars and one in the car section who answers a question about beetles with a recommendation for bug spray but loves plants. exchange them and you have two happy employees which might give great customer service on topics they really know.
Story 3: "Have fun in the dark! Lol" Well, she didn't realized that she was in the dark about the debt...
Story 4: Take care of your employees or see yourself out of the job
"I just leave, there's no winning this argument" kinda true... it's hard to win an argument against a smart person, it's IMPOSSIBLE to win an argument against an idiot.
4th story: I salute OP for taking one for the team despite their allergies. Made the workplace better for everyone in the end (don’t forget the manager had been tossing complaints for *5 years).*
i had to pause this video to watch "SCIENTIFICALLY ACCURATE™: BARNEY"
Was it child friendly?
@@kitieriwhite7758 it’s the opposite of child friendly
@@qoeiennl6762 Figured, my blessed friend showed me that video along with a few others. We're still friends but I found my own videos to show her lol.
LMAO ditto!
Yep. Me too. Had to watch it.
Story 1: I would have said "It's not appropriate" and set the remote down on the table. When brother picks it up quickly say "I warned you" The rest is on him.
Story 2: You can't get everything for free Karen...you are NOT important...no matter what you might think.
Story 3: I would have given her nothing after the 2nd warning...especially after her little jab...not a single cent.
Story 4: Throwing out employee complaints is a HUGE no-no and a breech of company policy...bye Bob!
Story 5: I love how OP totally trashed a Karen in PUBLIC...and got praised for it from both managers!! Bahahahaha!!!
First Story: Time to record everything when brother is around. Do it secretly. Start playing it back when he lies.
In my town the electricity bill actually does work the way the jerk thought. I tried to switch to my name when moving into a new place and they said the outstanding balance had to be taken care of first .... WHAT!? I just moved there!!! I had to get the landlord to go pay it for the last tenant before they'd give me electricity. Annoying.
Different in a rental situation. The bill stays with the account holder, not the apartment.
When I worked survey, I informed my bosses that I was severely allergic to poison ivy and poison sumac. We came to a part of the project that had a large area of it and everyone but me had to work there. They were asked if they were allergic to it and they called me a wuss for not working there. The next day over half of them were home sick from blistering rashes and other related symptoms.
Honestly that’s why when a doctor asks me if I have any allergies, I answer with. “None that I know of.” As there is the possibility of having an allergy to certain medications that I don’t know about because I’ve never been given it before.
what i find absolutely annoying is i fly first class. sure its like 2-3x coach, but the extra space is so worth it when you are flying for more than 1 hour, and i typically do 3-4 hour flights. but what i find absolutely annoying is they announce their first loading which is usually people in wheelchairs or people with toddlers that need extra time to board. then the huge flock of people all crowd up the line to get on the plane waiting and they are all coach. i am always like wtf, all you are doing is blocking those that they are calling to board from boarding. when they finally announce first class i always make a point to walk up to the crowd of people asking if they are first class and trying to board, and when they inevitably say no, then say why are you blocking me from boarding, its not like the seats are first come first serve.
I believe those people are called "gate lice".
To Up Your Chances on getting Upgraded to a First Class Seat on a flight is 1. Dress the part. If you're dressed nice & professional; 3 piece suit or even a blazer, ladies a nice dinner dress; they're more likely to bump you up because ppl in first class like to see ppl who at least look like they belong in first class. 2. When boarding the plane acknowledge the flight attendants with a genuine smile & "GoodMoring/Evening how's your day going today?" or some other polite greeting. Flight Attendants always have to attend strangers & never really get the appreciation for it. By acknowledging one & talking to one as a human rather as a servant, will get you noticed. 3. Be patient & kind with other passengers. If youre taking your time in a calm manner to help others & be the last to bored, chances are all uphead storage compartments may be full in economy. So, since you were so lovely, patient & kind, you are more likely to get an upgrade. 🤗
It also helps if you're active duty or retired military.
In that last story, you could say that OP handled that situation, "like a boss."
The fact that the 4 year old was enjoying the video is highly concerning
One of homedepot policies is that the employees' legal cost are covered by homedepot when the employees sue for work related stuff. So It might be an interesting lawsuit with homedepot paying the plaintiff to sue themselves.
I love the narrator's voice/tone. It is like a warm hug on a rainy day. Thank you so much!
I second that emotion!!!
Nick was only trying to save a huge law suit. Missed out on millions smh
Man, I've seen managers deny pregnant women bathroom breaks because it's company policy that employees can only use the bathroom during lunch hours
I flew trans Atlantic lots in the 70 - 80s when the airline gave you the seat assignment. The agent asked for my preference. I gave him my favorite seat nr. It wasn’t available, so I asked for the same row on the other side of the plane. It wasn’t free, either. After explaining my preference (it had more leg room than anything else in tourist class), he said, “oh, interesting. I’ll bump your ticket to Business Class”. On a trans Atlantic flight?! Best flight ever, and all for the price of a smile!
One time, when I was in the Air Force, I flew standby out of SFO (San Francisco). Coach was full, so they bumped me to First Class.
Last story, OP really went ham on that karen without mercy!
Petty thoughts for the light bill situation: I would've stood on the front porch, origami'd the money into planes, tossed towards her and hoped for a mega windy day!! 🤣😈
Karen , "Give me what I want in my head!!! NOT WHAT I ASK FOR WITH MY MOUTH!!!!!"
This is the best freaking comment!
“Have fun in the dark”? Hahaha. The bill is in her name, so the only one who suffers is her as her credit gets destroyed. Clearly she didn’t understand how reality works.
I hope Bob doesn't get EMPLOYED ever again.
Fluff, these are literally ‘Karen/Entitled People Training.’ Love it.
4:33 The parents stopped it in time before the next part came up after that scene. That would've been hilarious.
As someone who’s worked in a deli before that revenge made me salivate.
In story 3, its possible that the agreement to split the bill 3 ways was either in writing, or somehow proper enough to hold up as a contract/formal agreement in court. So even if the bill was in her name, theres a chance that it could be taken to court to try and get the 80 bucks from OP and roommate. (Even if it didnt end up succeeding, it couldve held enough water to not just instantly get dismissed, and cost OP more than the 40 bucks in fees.) That said, the late fees are entirely on her, as OP absolutely made the attempt to make the payment happen, and the ex very clearly and explicitly (in text/writing) was making the choice not to pay the bill that was in her name. So the fees are on her. So it sorta makes sense that OP/roommate are paying the $80, if just to cover their asses.
The satisfaction to look her into the eyes when handing her all the letters might also be worth 80$

I am a retired respiratory therapist and I also have asthma/ Chronic bronchitis one year everyone in our department was coming down with the flu so when I called in saying that I was sick they told me to come in or I would be fired. When I was giving many of my patients their treatments they told me I sounded awful and one of our frequent patients told me I should be in the bed because I sounded worse then she did. Well at the end of my shift I went into the er and was admitted to the icu and I was out of work for a month.
There are far too many people in the world who make up their mind on something and refuse to accept that they're wrong, even when shown irrefutable evidence that they are.
He said he didn’t give her a cent towards the late fees but I think he could’ve refused to pay his share of the final payment after she spent all that time mooching off of him!
Some airlines do offer upgrades for payment of a fee. I have used this once after a a difficult trip involving my wife ending up in hospital for heart surgery in her hometown.
15:06 How does a company not realize a manager has been throwing out complaints for *5 YEARS?!?* Did they just think he was _that_ amazing? I’m not saying they’re lazy or should always assume the worst, but _no_ complaints would be a red flag for me. Even kind, understanding, hard-working bosses will have a complaint from an employee at some point. It’s inevitable because some people just *need* to complain about, well, anything and everything.🤷♀️
I wondered about that too. Sooner or later you will eventually get a complaint whether it was deserved or not, especially with any job that involves the general public.
@@mikoto7693 I can affirm this. Got my first customer complaint in the entire year and a half I've been working.
Lady demanded I be fired because I handed her her Dominos pizza and said "Have a good day, stay healthy" a phrase I've been using for about 2 years due to obvious reasons.
This lady was insecure enough that she assumed I was fat shaming her.
The fourth story, Nick the District Manager was so good. I love managers who actually care about health and safety! YES!
Yea, now I need to go to my fridge and get me a few slices of smoke-flavored ham. Not plain ham.
I had the youtube video situation happen to me. My nephew wanted to see stuff i knew wasnt on his parents “okay to view” list. My sister in law said turn it on since the temper tantrum had escalated from 0 to 100 in seconds after my saying no. I thought theres no way im turning that on and getting blamed! I slid the remote across the coffee table and made her turn it on. She learned a couple things that day. One was to listen to me once in a while…the other was, her parents could still yell at her no matter how old she was! She was caught red handed : )
The electric bill story reminded me of an old roommate I had. The lease was in both our names and half the utilities were split. The electric was in her name. So my roommate decided she wanted us to move to a different city but I did not want to move out of the city I was in. So she left 2 months before the lease ended. We had discussed that she would cover the remaining months left on the lease, but no she signed something at the leasing office that removed her from the lease. So now my rent doubled for two months. I was so mad. So she moved but did not transfer the electric bill into my name and I just stopped paying it. I figured if she is going to screw me on rent I will screw her on the electric bill.
Eating my breakfast and watching some DarkFluff. Best combination in the world. 😊
The billing should have been forwarded to HER new postal address, a simple form...
Love listening to these stories. Reminds me when I worked for an auto parts store as a delivery driver. Oh the stories I could tell of that place. So happy I moved to bigger and better things.
To the ham story, this is why I never cater to regulars anymore. Too many of them get cocky and rude when you don’t comply to their demands like usual. They think they have a special in with you and then ask for more. Never cater to regulars, I’m sorry but they’re as replaceable as us.
First: why not visit parents when OP is sure AH brother isn't around. Looks like OP needs the fuss and arguments as much as AH needs them
Malicious compliance is one of my favorites.
Story #1: I wish we’d deal with bully Karens in the US like they do in Europe.
Ref: Karen at the airport? Should have called security? Ref: the brother who is always right? I would NOT have given in on that one.

Not that it would have helped, as this entitled jerk obviously has never been put in his place...
The utility story.
OP kept their word and paid an acknowledged bill.
That's called being ethical.
It's a good thing.
Congrats OP for doing the thing.
But I, honestly, would prefer to have the SMOKED ham! And NOW i've gone beyond just CRAVING it,! Lol
Once had a friend ask to borrow some of my DVDs for their kids to watch, one of them was my "heavy metal" DVD,. Then after I told them that it was not a kid show, they borrowed it anyway, then got upset because it wasn't suitable for their kids to watch. Fortunately my friend was big enough to man up, argue with his wife, and admit that I had told him that it wasn't a kids show.
I just watched the video of Barney and yes his kids should not watch that to preserve their innocence
OP with the electric bill should have set up a small party to celebrate the last time he was giving her money.

1st story: when the guy said: "I really don't", he made a mistake. Why didn't he just hand back the remote? Let the brother decide what his kid is watching.
First story: This reminds me of a bit I saw Jim Carrey do about when he lived in an apartment building, and a little boy from next door would knock on his door and ask him to do his impression of Barney, as in "Do the dinosaur!" Eventually, Jim got tired of Barney and did his impression of the Velociraptor from Jurassic Park. The kid stopped knocking on his door ;^D
Yes Yes it is I saw it on a connecting flight in Atlanta (can you guess the airline?) Old lady with a slightly younger boyfriend was in first class and was demanding her boyfriend be moved from economy to first due to her yelling the gate agent noped out of it. They were tired the plane was running almost 2 hours late and they had massive delays all day long due to perpetual pop up thunderstorms and it's almost 10:00PM. Ironically this meant they couldn't upgrade anyone and barring her and a few others (myself included) first class was wide open. The FAs were basically handing us baskets of snacks and multiple soda cans saying take them with you cause we have to toss them in the trash I offered to send some back to the back but because of screaming banshee they had to follow strict rules and couldn't do that or upgrade anyone.
bob was correct, the op needed documentation for accommodations stating he couldn't work garden section due to allergies, however, he went about it completely wrong. I would've said okay, this time I can work with you, but I need those docs from your doctor going forward
And honestly your approach would have been very reasonable to me at least.
Story 1: Lmao! OP, thanks for the tip! Funny as heck! Did you catch the line about irresponsible parenting?
Edit: As soon as I typed “scientifically” that video popped up as the first choice.
Damn I've a hankering for ham. Half pound of SMOKEHOUSE, please, sliced counter clockwise. (lol)
For the story of the woman who want “plain” ham to me it sounds like she wanted smoked ham at the plain ham price
@ E Secret...Possible that the EW was trying to get the Smoked ham at a cheaper price?
That’s absolutely possible. I once worked in retail and there were customers that really tried every trick in the book. From scouring the shelves looking for incorrect labels, to peeling the label off a more expensive, better quality item and swapping it with the label of the cheap version. You had to think suspiciously at the customer service desk.
Oh, another favourite was attempting to return an item we didn’t even sell to get a “refund.”
Once again perfect stories to listen to on the bus ride home! Keep up the great work finding hilariously entitled stories!
First story sounds almost like me and my sister. Except we do have our good moments
I can relate to the first story here...had family where I was the dumb one and they were always right..
My daughter loved Barney when she was young. But the books she forced me to read to her were the ones I was reading. By the time she was 4, I had read her Hunt for Red October, Patriot Games and Jurassic Park. Then she asked her father “Daddy, what kind of dinosaur is Barney.” For the rest of the time that she had the stuffed Barney, the Green Power Ranger was riding him and she was feeding all of dolls and stuffed animals to Barney.
