I already left this in a comment, but again- if it happens again, ignore the complainer while giving them a "salute" at the same time! Meanwhile, keep "up" the good work! (pardon the horrible pun, I just can't pass up a bad joke, and, well..... I am American! AKA: a slack jawed yokel!) PS: I could of the bad pun prefaced with a "21 gun....", but I do have a modicum of class, and, much like the infamous fellow hecklers, Groucho Marx and Don Rickles, I try to do a clean act! Anyway, Cheers!
@Zentron it doesn't have to be hot, or even very sunny to get sunburned if you stay out long enough, especially if you are quite fair skinned. The worst sunburn I ever got was when I went skiing in 37 degree F weather (3 degrees C for you Europeans). Also, some people will tolerate being slightly chilly for the chance to be nude outdoors, which is always a lovely experience.
That beach Karen reminds me of the woman who called the cops on her neighbour because she was peeking in through his windows by standing up ontop of her kitchen counter to see past his garden shrubs and could see into his house where he'd sometimes be undressed. "Public indecency" she called it, "Voyeurism" is what the cops said she was doing.
Right seriously if you don't want to see your neighbors junk then stop climbing onto top of your counters to specifically look over the hedges, perv.😅😅😅
Last guy should have took his psychological warfare to the next level. He should have played What's New Pussycat? over and over for the first 6 hours. Then stopped for like 5 minutes. Just long enough for the neighbors to relax and think it's over. Then fire it up again smashing their hopes.
Story 1: “This guy is playing music of the devil. I don’t like that. I don’t like my kids around that. Better bring my kids closer to the source, *just* so I can show off how bad it is…”
@@nola281s a person with likes rock and punk music probably not at all because for them it’s just a word that they have connected with satan and now think all metal music is the same 😆😆
The US could take a lesson on this and start fining and charging people every time they call the cops out for nonsense that they have either fabricated or is something the police do not deal with, ie. Like getting an employee fired bc they didn't give the customer what they wanted or to enforce something that they believe is illegal. I saw a clip last night of a woman that called the cops on another woman bc she claimed it was illegal to yell. I wish i could've seen the cops faces when they showed up for that call😅😅😅
Yeah no kidding...it would have been easy for mom to just walk away if she was offended. People of all ages have been seeing nude bodies all the time since the dawn of humanity and no corruption ever came from it. In fact, it's been my experience that kids are much better behaved at nude resorts and beaches than they are at textile places like amusement parks. Probably because Karen familes can't handle themselves properly in the nude environments.
More accurately, the fine should happen more often in proportion to the incident, which should happen less often in general by being discouraged by the fine.
Story 3: I just love it when the kids are more intelligent and mature than the entitled parents. The Karen is screaming and demanding over a nudist having a relaxing day on a nudist beach, and threatening to call the cops while the kid is casually doing her own thing and being understanding. I feel so sorry for that kid, having to deal with such entitlement.
Also they could have decided to go all in, by getting rid of her for he garbage along with not working , and using her to hopefully sabotage the competition at the same time. That's getting three for one.
I homeschooled my kiddos and one day when they were about 7 and 9 years old we had to take a trip to the grocery store. We parked quite away from the store. As we were making our way to the front a young man in a beat up old sports car drove past us with his windows down and music blaring. With the bass that car had, it might not have had any windows. He pulled into a space closer to the front, parked, and got out. "Excuse me!" I yelled as he came around his car. I was practically dragging my little one to catch him. This guy's entire face fell. I swear he looked like he was trying to fold himself into invisibility. He sighed and said, "Yes?" "That song is FANTASTIC! What is it?! Who the hell plays it?!" He looked so damn stunned for a few seconds. Finally he stammered, "It's Down with the Sickness by Disturbed." I turned to my eldest and said, "You got that? Can you help me remember?" My daughter obediently recited the information. (She's my backup brain to this day.) The guy busted out laughing. "Lady, I thought you were about to chew my ass for the music!" "Loud music is fine, as long as it's GOOD music and that's good music." We had a good chuckle while he walked us in. Decades later, now "Karen" is a thing and in retrospect I get how it must've looked. I kind of love the whole moment. Went from very bad for him to a really happy encounter.
In college, I had neighbors in the dorm who loved to blast punk music at all hours. They wouldn't listen, and even the RA couldn't get them to stop. Finally, I did what the people in the last story did. I didn't have a couple of _Voice of the Theater_ speakers like they did, just a typical stereo with a turntable and an 8-track player. I had found a copy of Gustav Mahler's _Kindertotenlieder,_ aka "Songs on the Death of Children" on 8-track. Now, this song cycle, while considered to be technically beautiful, is, without a doubt, one of the most appallingly gut wrenching pieces of music I've ever heard. Being classical music, it was as far from punk rock as Pluto is from the Earth. I put the tape in the stereo, cranked the volume, and left for many hours. The pair next door had been up practically till dawn, partying and playing the B-52's Most Raucous while getting totally roaring stocious. Drunk as skunks and twice as high. So having _Kindertotenlieder_ crank up around 9am was not comfortable. One important thing about 8-track tapes for those too young to be familiar with them is that they are essentially a looped tape. Its 8 tracks are arranged as 4 stereo tracks side by side, and after one track finishes, it switches to the next. After all 4 stereo tracks have played, _it starts over._ Unless the tape is pulled out or the power cut, it will repeat until the tape itself wears out. I was gone for about six hours. Long enough for that wretched album to play about 5 times. They never blasted music unless they asked me first, not even for a party. Their way to eventually make peace was to invite me to the party. Because they knew if they didn't, and disturbed my sleep, _Kindertotenlieder_ would return
In my province, there is a law dealing with Reasonable Right to Enjoyment of Property and it deals with noise outside of quiet hours. I've never had to use it but just knowing that it's there is a relief.
Story 2, if she was such a braggart about having her insurance pay for a massage that technically shouldn't be covered, they should have coded the insurance with the correct service and have her insurance not cover the service so she would have to pay for her massage.
@@huntjl88 potentially you can get more as a private pay when insurance companies basically dictate what they will be paying. Sure there could be a deductible, but insurance companies can take as much as 6 months to pay the doctor off.
I think I can see why "Peppa" didn't work at her parents' restaurant. Either they knew she would be even worse there ("My parents own the place! You can't say ANYTHING to me and I can do what I want!"), or she did work there and got herself fired for doing so.
OP on the nude beach did OK. Karma got Karen with a fine for wasting police time. Really easy to figure out why Peppa didn't work in her parents' restaurant. You gotta be bad for your family to reject you.
@@rickraber1249 OK, if she was your daughter what would you do? As it is she pretty much had two choices, shape up and start learning what it was like to be an adult, or be humiliated and fired by people who wouldn't put up with her continued BS.
Story 2: Honestly, knowing the given context, I doubt this is the end of Karen encounters. She might try to spin some BS story over the fact that she needs to pay out of pocket now
I heard many story about father football career ending cause they get their GF pregnant and than impose to their boys the career he wanted (or the equivalent with the mother and her daughter), but I must say it's the first I get about forcing a child to a sport for "entertainment".... Parental liscence... if only there were a way !
The last one: Yeah, been there, done that, have the T-shirt with "I play Bagpipes" on it. We had a next door neighbor in the complex. They played loud music, argued, and everything else. I went over and asked them to keep it down and was greeted by a guy in a county sheriff's uniform. Yep, the noisy neighbor was a deputy. He also had a love of Tejano music, which I really can't stand. I asked the complex to ask him to turn it down but, nope, not happening because he's the security officer for the complex when he wasn't at work....trading the apartment for the service. We got sick of his stuff so we turned the big speakers we had for our stereo system to the shared wall, turned the volume up to 11, and put on a Bagpipe CD, on repeat, and left for the day's worth of work. We get home to the sheriff huffing and puffing at us about the music and I just smiled, shrugged, and went inside. We did this for a week. There were notes left on our door, our cars, and we just ignored them. One night the manager came over and told us we had to stop it or we were going to be evicted. Oh hell no! As long as the guy next door is playing his music at all hours (he worked days and stayed up until all hours...with music), we would be playing our favorites too. And, for good measure, I told the manager that I would be contacting the home office and letting them know that, if I was evicted over this, I would be filing suit against the manager, the complex, and the company. Which I did call them and it wasn't a week later that the sheriff was moving out and there was a new manager. Play stupid music and annoy the neighbors, learn to like bagpipes..........
Story 2: I would've just quit on the spot. If it were me, well, this lady made one of my coworkers cry, she spends the whole hour talking about how much of a waste of space she is, and she caps it all off by saying she's a control freak of a mom that likes putting her daughter through something she hates just because it amuses her. No amount of money is worth dealing with that crap.
Story 5: "I have access to a 10-hour loop of It's A Small World After All, Baby Shark, and What Does The Fox Say. I WILL USE THIS POWER FOR EVIL!" *puts on army helmet, cranks up the volume, and prepares for war* Ahahaha that was what I was imagining when OP said they had ginormous speakers. :D
What about Yoko Ono's experimental "music", where she's just screaming? Or Disney music? Be Our Guest. Let It Go. It's A Small World. Under The Sea. The theme from Barney! On a loop.
The thing is that nude beaches in many places dont actually have any laws regarding children being at them. The reason is that they are open to the public and the public includes all ages. TBH nude beaches, or naturalist beaches are they are also called, are a much safer place for a child to be at than a normal beach. They also have signs up that people warning them that they may encounter nude sunbathers, so the Karen in this story really should have just sucked it up. So yeah, it would have been hilarious to see her reaction on such. And hell, even on the normal beaches there a people, mainly woman, that wear close to just pieces of strings to cover themselves up with, and she's complaining about one nakid person. Also judging by the age of the girl she is old enough to see such normally.
Story 4: I too work in a restaurant in Ohio as a dishwasher, and if and when Peppa does get fired, I pray to God that she doesn't apply for the restaurant I work at, if I so much as hear "f you and f off" I'm quitten immediately no "ifs ands or buts" either she goes or we go
Story 4: OP and the rest of the staff weren't doing themselves any favors by cleaning up after Peppa... she should have been left to face the consequences of her inaction. OP and the male server *should* have gone to Peppa's new place of work, asked to be seated in her section, then stiffed her on the tip after telling her, "I'm keeping your tip to make up for having to do your job"... let Peppa explain that to her new manager.
The best way to get rid of an employee everyone hates, is not engage with them, group up to the GM, and say something along the lines of "either this person goes, or we go"
Well at least there must have been some kind of law against misuse of police, so they at least got the sadisfaction of fineing her for the idiotic call. This is why fining for idiotic call of police (not every false alarm) are important against karens
@@marcor815In law (at least here in the UK) there's a difference between a false call with good intent (eg alerting the police if there are suddenly lights on in a disused property, but it turns out to be workmen) and malicious misuse of the 999 system.
@@the_once-and-future_king. yes that important distinction between good intent and misuse was I trying to emphasise with the (not every false alarm) coment
It would be fun it an off-duty officer took to nude sunbathing and that Karen showed up. Imagine the Pikachu face when he/she pulled their badge from the picnic basket!
@@marcor815 The biggest problem is they only prosecute after so many incidents. If they prosecuted after the first malicious call it would stop the problem instantly.
I too am norse pagan and "Valhalla calling me" is something my kids and I blast on the regular in our car... almost ready for a Karen to f around and find out now 🤣🤣
Wow... I'm blessed that I have a boss that decides to keep/drop clients and is usually the one to talk to people, and when they get too Karen-esque, we just drop them like hot cakes. No, we DON'T need your patronage. Have fun with that, Karen/Kevin.
My boss could hear someone swearing at me over the phone and she yanked the phone from me started screaming at this customer and said she did not want her business if she treats her staff like we're trash and hung up the phone
Love the 1st story. As a Norse Pagan myself, I've dealt with all kinds of religious nuts who feel they have a right to force me to believe their religion is right. It's called Freedom of Religion. It's one of our inalienable rights.
When my sister got divorced, money was tight. She and her three-year old son moved into low-income housing. These apartments were actually very nice. There were four two-bedroom apartments in each building, and six buildings making up the complex. Turned out that my sister was the only person in her building and the closest next door building who worked. So it was loud music, arguments and domestic violence, and other fun interruptions ALL NIGHT LONG every night of the week. She asked the people to lower the noise so she could sleep, but they only got worse. The police would come, noise went away until they left the complex, and then it went right back to party time. As soon as she could save up enough money to move out, she did.
Anti-Satanic Karen story: I'm Christian, but was raised to respect, as well as question, all faiths and my children were raised that way as well. My son belongs to the SCA (Society for Creative Anachronisms) and does pre-renaissance reenactments. His "persona" is that of a Norse raider. As such he wears a "Thor's Hammer" necklace which a few belligerent people have taken issue with. His response? What can you point to that your God has done that All Father Odin hasn't? I'll even go one better. Odin promised to rid us of the Frost Giants. When was the last time you saw one of them? It usually shuts them up. Fun fact, he works at a Catholic hospital. Peppa story: OP, I think it's OBVIOUS why she doesn't work at her parent's restaurant. THEY DON'T WANT HER THERE!!! She probably pulled that BS and cost them money and customers. Not good for an "upscale" restaurant. But your store's management was lousy for allowing this to continue as long as it did. Music wars story: OP, you didn't list two of my favorite revenge styles of music. One, old time COWBOY music with yodeling and two, bagpipe music which is very entertaining. I've heard some excellent Star Wars music done to bagpipes as well as some classic rock and other genre's. Very good if you like bagpipes. Very annoying if you don't. Just keep it in mind folks. Listen to some of The Snake Charmer's pieces, you'll git the drift.
Back in the late 60’s-early 70’s, my mom and I lived in an upstairs apartment. The downstairs neighbor would blare their music till all hours of the night. This would happen several times a week, and even though my mom went down and asked them to turn it down at night several times times, because it very disruptive, especially when I had to go to school the next day. Nothing at all changed. So one day, after they had an obviously long night, my mom got up at 6 a.m. She took both of our speakers and put them on the floor, face down. She grew up during the Big Band era, and it could be extremely loud, especially if you played Count Basie. She turned it all the way up with the base at full force. We soon heard a knock on the door. Hard to hear it due to the music. There our neighbor stood, with an angry look on her face, asking us to turn the music down. My mom just looked at her with a big grin on her face. The woman then said sheepishly “You’re not going to turn it down, are you?” My mom just said “What do you think?”. She then turned around and slowly walked down the stairs. She always kept her music down after that, especially after 9:00 😊.
Story 2: as soon as karen said the receptionists were idiots, shouldve refused service and kicked her out for abusing staff, dont give a karen an inch.
I'm surprised she backed down so quickly when facing resistance. Perhaps her upcoming divorce has let her know that her behavior is self-detrimental and when called out on it, she belatedly shuts her mouth.
Story 4. If true I wouldn’t be surprised that the reason she didn’t work at the family restaurant was because they knew she would cause issues for the business so they sent her to competing establishments instead
I agree. Her family knew she would cause them problem and loss of customers, with her attitude. That's why they send her to job at another restaurant and destroy them
Story 2 - Why is OP celebrating? "Not my problem anymore" isn't a victory, she's just literally not their problem anymore. Unfortunately, this sort of accommodation is Service Standard, and there's nothing to be done about it.
After 20+ years of having a good relationship with their neighbours, my aunt and uncle were told that their neighbour was moving to Ireland to help look after her elderly father. Her kids had all grown up and married, and she felt it was the right thing to do. Her house was put up for sale, bought by a company that provided rooms for university students. The four bedroom house was then converted into student housing. Having raised four kids, three of whom were boys, my aunt and uncle, who were then in there late 60s, had been through the fights between the boys, on everything from which Premier Football Club was better, which music better, or even the age old fights because he's (almost) touching me! Typical brothers, if they weren't fighting, they were getting ready for a night out at the clubs. So they knew what a house full of lads without their parents, and access to alcohol wasn't going to be fun, but they also knew they were young and out in the world, so expected a little trouble at first. But they weren't expecting the problems they had with one lot of students. As predicted, a couple of months into the new school year, they had to knock and asked if they could keep it down between 11pm and 7am, during the week, as the law stated, but they also gave them a little leeway at the weekends too. That was fine. At the end of July, they left, and the next term, September, a bunch of girls came, and my aunt said they didn't know they were even there most of the time. All good. The next term, after the girls left, they had more boys move in. And they REALLY didn't care about the neighbours on either side of the terrace. Both my aunt and uncle had, repeatedly, politely asked the lads to tone it down a little at night. They were met with either indifference or hostility in varying levels, depending on who they spoke to. The boys would deliberately bang on the shared wall of their bedroom at 1-2am, play loud music, to wake them up. Curse and swear at them when they'd ask them to stop. They even called the university a that they went to, and student housing to complain about them. Nothing was done. The police and the local council told them to keep a diary of times and dates, etc. But they got nowhere. Then, in an unrelated incident, my aunt became very ill and was in hospital. As you can imagine, spending all day with his wife, worrying as to what was going to happen to her, not knowing if she would even pull through, and to come home exhausted, go to bed and just as you're finally sleeping, the lads start with their nonsense next door! That's when my uncle snapped and let his petty side out to play! He called his eldest son, who was a chip off the old block, and said that he was now willing to go with his suggestion. An hour later, my cousin had set up one of his 4 ft tall speakers up at his house and fixed it so that it was facing the neighbours wall. My cousin had set it up so that it would play TH-cam videos. And showed his dad where to find the most annoying ones. I found this out when my uncle called me, asking if I was busy? Telling him that I wasn't, he came to my flat in the next street over and told me that he'll get the little bar stewards! I asked him what he'd done. He said that they'd had some sort of party or were just drinking and playing loud music. Now it was his turn for revenge! He had turned up the speaker to deafening and set a video of 10 hours of continuous dogs barking and another annoying likewise video. As it was just below the noise pollution level, and it was set up to finish at 10.55pm, it was legal, annoying AF, but legal. After nearly a week of this, that started at various times, between 7am and 11pm, the university student housing got in touch about the noise. My uncle basically told them that if they wanted him to stop, then they needed to make sure that their students weren't causing the problems to begin with! That in case they had forgotten, he'd come to them months before and complained about them, and THEIR excess and unwanted noise in the middle of the night, and they'd done nothing! And now the shoe's on the other foot, they want him to stop? Not happening! After that, there was only one other incident, but apart from that, there weren't really any more problems, for some reason!
Remember karens are allergic to responsibility. When she refused to take the paper he had that showed the law It was a full one example that she believed she was in the right. Sometimes some of them are dumb enough to make their punishments worse by Trying to tell the judge at a court case that he's wrong. And then our shock their punishment is way worse
Story 1: I don’t know what’s wrong with that lady. I’m Christian and Valhalla Calling is one of my favorite songs! Especially the Payton Perrish version!
Story 1: I used to have a co-worker like that. The only music she wouldn't complain about was boring, dreary church music. Even Christian "rock" that made Adele sound like GWAR by comparison was "devil music."
Story 5: The girlfriend is the real A-hole of the story, not letting the neighbor be considerate of OP and stuff like that. I bet you whoever moved in after OP left would've also done the same thing OP did had the neighbor suddenly start up the music again
The one about the loud neighbors- I would have played a loop of Baby Shark all day, or maybe Tiptoe Through The Tulips. With an occasional burst of the maniacal laugh from the song Wipeout. Just at random times through an otherwise unbroken loop of some ungodly earworm of a song. Maybe Bill Mumy's Fishheads would have been a good choice...
I once had neighbors like those in the last story, myself, several decades back. They lived across the hall from me, but our apts were at the end of the bldg, so our kitchens backed onto each other, and shared the same wall. The neighbors would play rap music super loud, with the bass beat thumping through the wall so hard that I could feel the vibrations, and it would also drown out my TV. They wouldn't turn it down, either. Now I had recently gotten a new compact stereo system, but the speakers were surprisingly high quality for their size and low cost, and had really good bass to boot. Plus, I loved heavy metal. So the next time the neighbors began blasting their rap music, I turned my speakers to face our shared wall, threw on Metallica's Black Album, and cranked the volume. Rap, meet "Enter Sandman." Metallica won. The neighbors either used headphones after that, or played their music at loud volumes elsewhere, because we never had any more Battles of the Bands after that evening.
#1 That Karen IS one of the things that are wrong with the world. Even her husband is fed up with her antics and divorcing her. Her kids are probably ashamed of their mother. I highly doubt that that Karen will learn from those events. She just can't learn from them because, in what passes as her mind, she's right and everyone who don't agree can only be totally wrong. #2 That Karen is all about bragging and me, myself and I. NO regard to anybody else. Self important and full of herself. She'll end up alone and shunned by everyone. #3 Karen is acting all shocked while her daughter is, we're on a nudist beach, so, seeing naked peoples is normal. Also, she's ashamed about her Karen of a mother. #4 That Pepa should have been fired mid day 1. At every one of her jobs, she should also get fired before the end of the first day due to her attitude. My guess is that she don't work at her parent's restaurant because she greatly hurt the business and got fired by her parents. #5 That speaker is intended for arenas and outdoors concerts. They are intended to be heard from over 100m in open spaces.
The speaker story reminds me of the stereo fight I got into with my neighbor years ago when I was living in my last apartment. The guy was blaring music out of his open window for no reason at all. It wasn't like he was outside enjoying his music; he had it cranked up so that it shook all of the neighbors' apartments. There was maybe 15 feet between the buildings in our complex. I decided to fight fire with fire. He might have had death metal, but I had a Denon stereo system, and I was a band director and professional musician by trade. I put on Respighi's Pines of Rome and pointed my speakers at his apartment. I played the 1st and 4th movements. Yeah, after the impromptu concert by Herbert von Karajan and the Berlin Philharmonic, the neighbor went radio silent. 😂
Something's fishy in Peppa story. Every incident of Peppa being SOOOOO horrible is met with management snapping down on both employees, and even OP's own mother, who ostensibly would have known of Peppa and her instigating from OP, did the same. Sounds like a hugely biased story from an equally pain in the ass teenage girl who's ooooh soooo perfect and targeted Peppa as much as, if not more, than Peppa did her.
Yes, the fact that she shut up when Norseman told her to indicates that she knows she's out of control. Her husband made no secret that her confrontational behavior is ruining her life.
I remember a woman complaining that her kids couldn't play Frisbee in the field marked "Picnic Area". I didn't know at the time that "Karen" was the formal name for this type of person.
If I'd been Krista, I'd have told her to get out or the Police will be called on her! I'd have had her removed by the Police for Harassment, Verbal Assault, Trespassing and Creating a Public Disturbance!
#5: USUALLY there’s a 90 day window when someone is hired that they can be “let go” for as little as, oh yeah, no reason at all. Peppa should not have ever been able to reach day 89!
The a-hole neighbors on the last story had a Yamamoto moment. Once OP fired up that concert speaker, the neighbors were all “I fear we have awoken a sleeping giant”
The last story reminds me of an asshole neighbour that live in the apartment next to us for a while and at some point for almost a year buddy was just obnoxious and loud and there where constant fights, people breaking his windows and most annoyingly theyd play loud shitty bassy music at all hours and for some reason the cops nor building did nothing about this despite us and several other tenants around him complaining and calling the police. I'm glad that at some point back in October 2020 buddy just up and abandoned the apartment though they left a huge mess for the super tentent to clean up (like busted up appliances, broken windows, trash and shit everywhere) Buddy was a douche and really probably should be in a mental hospital since they seemed rather unhinged and always fighting and causing problems.
When selecting music to blast to jerk neighbours, always go Uptempo Hardcore! An hour of the kicks and screeches at full blast will cause significant structural damage! 😅
I live close to the Brussels airport for the last 25 years, without really have a problem with some airplane noise. My new neighbours bought the house and moved in 6 months ago, and have already started a petition to protest about the noise and are pissen because nobody in the Street wanted to sign………
@@lukmaes6290i was about to tell my own stories abt people buying property next to our local airport and then complain and then I saw your post , I'm in Oostende lol . Belgians are the worst .
Get Peppa on camera not working. Then show it to the guy writing the paychecks. If there's one thing a business owner doesn't want is to pay someone to stand around and play on the phone.
Ive actually done the speaker part, had a literal crackhead move in downstairs, talked to herself constantly, stole my futon that was on the porch, lied and said landlord gave it to her, smoked inside just about every hour, leaving me to inhale the secondhand smoke, just a horrible person. So i got a 400 watt speaker system for my pc and started looping five finger death punch playlists when i left for work.
Last story: Years ago I heard a song about a guy who was being evicted for playing his music too loud. The song ended with the guy saying that tonight he's going to show his neighbors what ten thousand watts per channel really means. I remember the song but I have no idea who sang it.
Story 1: I am a Christian. I can point to many parts of my life and say, "Yes, God for sure guided me here.", or "God DEFINITELY pointed me in *this* direction there." I love my God. I also listen to a lot of metal music. I especially love Swedish metal bands, Brothers of Metal being the most recently discovered band. Their music is all about Vikings and Norse gods/myths/legends. I love their music. It's loud and upbeat (duh, heavy metal!). Just because music is loud doesn't mean it's "devil music". And just because it may not be "Christian" music (pagan/ viking in this case? Correct me if I have the religion wrong) doesn't mean it's evil. Christianity is NOT the only religion...
I'm gonna press x to doubt that Karen is even Christian at all. It wouldn't be the first Karen who just wants to make trouble, so she makes up a reason.
I've always believed there is a difference between Christians and "Christians". Christians are about love and acceptance no matter what. "Christians" are about hating anyone who doesn't match their "Christian" viewpoint. AKA, hateful bigots and hypocrites
Norse people call it Asatru sometimes it's written as Asatro. I'm English born and bred but my family tree on both parent's sides go back 1000 years to Norse men. Interestingly they never needed a word for their religion until Christian missionaries turned up, then they had to give it a name to differentiate it.
That last story reminded me of one I heard a while back. A bunch of college boys rented a house together in an otherwise quiet neighborhood, and would party LOUD and LONG on the weekends. Their Monday garbage pickup indicated that there was quite a bit of drinking going on at these events. So the boys' neighbor decided to do them a good turn. At about 8 am on the morning after one of these wing-dings, he showed up and pounded on their door with a big baking sheet of over easy, runny eggs, and piles of smoked oysters and some nice canned sardines, all of which had been left out at room temp long enough to be good and smelly. He knocked on their door, pushed the sheet at them and said that after all that partying the night before, he was pretty sure they needed some high quality protein in order to recover. The poor kid took one look - and one sniff - of the platter, covered his mouth with his hand and ran for the bathroom. The neighbor guy left the sheet on their front door step and went home chuckling. There were no more parties after that.
That is definitely one aspect of UK law I wish we would emulate or replicate here in the States. Getting a fine for wasting police time with a frivolous emergency call. We have essentially weaponized the police to the point where you can make an anonymous phone call about a person minding their own business and not breaking any laws and you have a good chance of ruining that person's entire life.
I have a story close to the last one. I was about 5 or 6. My parents and I lived in a top apartment. The bottom apartment people would play loud music. My dad was working 3 jobs and my mom was pregnant. My dad had tried talking to the downstairs neighbors about the music but it would never stop. My dad has a nice sound system he bought around the time i was born. He flipped the two tall speakers onto the ground and cranked the music all the way up. The neighbors got pissed and called the cops saying that my dad was beating up my mom. (I have no idea where that accusation came from) police show up. They were confused at first. With the speakers on the ground it did look like there could have been a fight but no one was hurt and we all had the same story. I dont know what happened with the neighbors but they were gone within a couple weeks and we did not hear anymore music.
As to the entitled server story she should have been fired for rude behavior towards the customers on top of being lazy and rude towards her co workers. All the co workers should have said either she goes or we go. Op should have people the snotty server didn't know go where she works and complain to management how horrible she is to give her a lesson.
Why was peppa working there instead of her family's restaurant? Probably because the parents knew her attitude and what it would do to the restaurant's reputation.
How in HELL did Peppa not end up with Assault Charges? She literally attacked her coworkers and didn't even get a Write Up? WTF? If I'd been OP, the moment she took a swing at me, I'd have grabbed the phone and dialed 911 and Pressed Assault Charges against Peppa!
OOO! New music! That song Valhalla Calling is really good. I hadn't heard it before. If Karen thinks that's devils music, I'd play The Band Red for her ;)
When people like the lady in story 1 show up, I always tell them that everyone leaving them because of their behavior obviously means they are meant to be a nun. They either look enlightened or backpeddal, which gives me an excuse to call them out on not being as devoted as they say they are.
Oh my gosh that story with the music reminds me of one I did. When I was in an apartment there were people that moved in above me that I don't know if they were playing games or movies but they would be going on until the wee hours of the morning sometimes pounding and exploding noise thru my ceiling. I tried to go and ask them to turn it down they didn't care I went through management to ask them to do something they didn't care. I had a surround sound system but I kept it tweaked so the bass was minimum and the sound was low... One night I was home alone and got fed up with it while trying to sleep. There happens to be nobody below or beside me so I got up, retuned the amp for max bass, took the speakers off the foam pads (which I put around the speakers to damp sound going thru the walls/floor/ceiling where they were mounted), got my over ear hearing protection and enjoyed some train videos (hobby of mine) - cranked so yhe horns and rumbling was pounding thru my chest painfully loud far more than sitting trackside of real railroad would be. After 10 minutes or so I shut it down and went to bed. It was totally silent. And I didn't have that problem again.
Story 2- It was really messed up that you let the girl up front take the blame for the phone call you made. When it came to getting your money you could speak up but you couldn't speak up when someone else was brought to tears because getting your money was such a priority to you?I hope you had a really horrific hour and was much worse than you made it seem here. The girl who brought to tears had to deal with the fallout from your phone call longer than an hour!
I had forgotten I posted my nudist beach story XD Thanks for reading it!!
I already left this in a comment, but again- if it happens again, ignore the complainer while giving them a "salute" at the same time! Meanwhile, keep "up" the good work! (pardon the horrible pun, I just can't pass up a bad joke, and, well..... I am American! AKA: a slack jawed yokel!) PS: I could of the bad pun prefaced with a "21 gun....", but I do have a modicum of class, and, much like the infamous fellow hecklers, Groucho Marx and Don Rickles, I try to do a clean act! Anyway, Cheers!
I’m surprised that it’s warm enough to be nude in the UK for any length of time! This summer has been miserable in Scotland.
@@Loki-and-ThorReally? I'm in Castle Douglas and I'm sunburned 😅
@@Loki-and-Thor Yeah, that was my reaction too. Brrrrrrrr.
@Zentron it doesn't have to be hot, or even very sunny to get sunburned if you stay out long enough, especially if you are quite fair skinned. The worst sunburn I ever got was when I went skiing in 37 degree F weather (3 degrees C for you Europeans). Also, some people will tolerate being slightly chilly for the chance to be nude outdoors, which is always a lovely experience.
That beach Karen reminds me of the woman who called the cops on her neighbour because she was peeking in through his windows by standing up ontop of her kitchen counter to see past his garden shrubs and could see into his house where he'd sometimes be undressed. "Public indecency" she called it, "Voyeurism" is what the cops said she was doing.
Right seriously if you don't want to see your neighbors junk then stop climbing onto top of your counters to specifically look over the hedges, perv.😅😅😅
The people who're obsessed with calling other people "perverts" are almost always perverts themselves.
Being a "peeping Tom" is generally illegal.
I heard this story. Hilarious 😂😂😂
My husband walks around in his undies and walks around nude when he takes a shower, that neighbor would have a fit
Last guy should have took his psychological warfare to the next level. He should have played What's New Pussycat? over and over for the first 6 hours. Then stopped for like 5 minutes. Just long enough for the neighbors to relax and think it's over. Then fire it up again smashing their hopes.
Surfin Bird would be my choice, or Trololo Song. Both are at the same time fantastic and infuriating 🤣🤣🤣
Don't forget to break it up with an "It's Not Unusual" every so often!
Story 1:
“This guy is playing music of the devil. I don’t like that. I don’t like my kids around that. Better bring my kids closer to the source, *just* so I can show off how bad it is…”
And swear all around and show my kids that their all loving god, is not so all loving to everyone seemingly.
Exactly what I said
I would've answer her... Are you sure you wanna anger a satan worshiper, Mam?
I wonder if she knew the difference between black metal and viking metal. They are not the same.
@@nola281s a person with likes rock and punk music probably not at all because for them it’s just a word that they have connected with satan and now think all metal music is the same 😆😆
Calling the cops on a nudist at a nude beach for being nude is like calling the cops on a person at a gun range for having a gun 🙄🤦🏽♀️
No it's really not.
Anyone can be nude at a nude beach but not everyone at a gun range can legally have a gun. Not in in gun cult county USA
It's like a Karen calling the police on a gamer playing games at a video game store! 😂
I dunno, it depends on the size of the "weapon"
I'm so glad the Karen in the beach store got a fine. It should happen more often.
The US could take a lesson on this and start fining and charging people every time they call the cops out for nonsense that they have either fabricated or is something the police do not deal with, ie. Like getting an employee fired bc they didn't give the customer what they wanted or to enforce something that they believe is illegal. I saw a clip last night of a woman that called the cops on another woman bc she claimed it was illegal to yell. I wish i could've seen the cops faces when they showed up for that call😅😅😅
Yeah no kidding...it would have been easy for mom to just walk away if she was offended. People of all ages have been seeing nude bodies all the time since the dawn of humanity and no corruption ever came from it. In fact, it's been my experience that kids are much better behaved at nude resorts and beaches than they are at textile places like amusement parks. Probably because Karen familes can't handle themselves properly in the nude environments.
More accurately, the fine should happen more often in proportion to the incident, which should happen less often in general by being discouraged by the fine.
Shoulda been a lifetime BAN
@@gothgirl4evr414
It's already illegal in the US to call 911 for nonsense reasons.
Story 3: I just love it when the kids are more intelligent and mature than the entitled parents. The Karen is screaming and demanding over a nudist having a relaxing day on a nudist beach, and threatening to call the cops while the kid is casually doing her own thing and being understanding. I feel so sorry for that kid, having to deal with such entitlement.
16:30 OP, the reason she didn't work at her parents' restaurant is because they would probably actually make her work. Lol.
Or she was sent to sabotage the competition. Lol.
Or she did work there and her parents got tired of her crap and sent her packing.
Also they could have decided to go all in, by getting rid of her for he garbage along with not working , and using her to hopefully sabotage the competition at the same time. That's getting three for one.
I homeschooled my kiddos and one day when they were about 7 and 9 years old we had to take a trip to the grocery store. We parked quite away from the store. As we were making our way to the front a young man in a beat up old sports car drove past us with his windows down and music blaring. With the bass that car had, it might not have had any windows. He pulled into a space closer to the front, parked, and got out.
"Excuse me!" I yelled as he came around his car. I was practically dragging my little one to catch him.
This guy's entire face fell. I swear he looked like he was trying to fold himself into invisibility. He sighed and said, "Yes?"
"That song is FANTASTIC! What is it?! Who the hell plays it?!"
He looked so damn stunned for a few seconds. Finally he stammered, "It's Down with the Sickness by Disturbed."
I turned to my eldest and said, "You got that? Can you help me remember?" My daughter obediently recited the information. (She's my backup brain to this day.)
The guy busted out laughing. "Lady, I thought you were about to chew my ass for the music!"
"Loud music is fine, as long as it's GOOD music and that's good music." We had a good chuckle while he walked us in.
Decades later, now "Karen" is a thing and in retrospect I get how it must've looked. I kind of love the whole moment. Went from very bad for him to a really happy encounter.
In college, I had neighbors in the dorm who loved to blast punk music at all hours. They wouldn't listen, and even the RA couldn't get them to stop.
Finally, I did what the people in the last story did. I didn't have a couple of _Voice of the Theater_ speakers like they did, just a typical stereo with a turntable and an 8-track player.
I had found a copy of Gustav Mahler's _Kindertotenlieder,_ aka "Songs on the Death of Children" on 8-track.
Now, this song cycle, while considered to be technically beautiful, is, without a doubt, one of the most appallingly gut wrenching pieces of music I've ever heard. Being classical music, it was as far from punk rock as Pluto is from the Earth. I put the tape in the stereo, cranked the volume, and left for many hours. The pair next door had been up practically till dawn, partying and playing the B-52's Most Raucous while getting totally roaring stocious. Drunk as skunks and twice as high. So having _Kindertotenlieder_ crank up around 9am was not comfortable.
One important thing about 8-track tapes for those too young to be familiar with them is that they are essentially a looped tape. Its 8 tracks are arranged as 4 stereo tracks side by side, and after one track finishes, it switches to the next. After all 4 stereo tracks have played, _it starts over._ Unless the tape is pulled out or the power cut, it will repeat until the tape itself wears out.
I was gone for about six hours. Long enough for that wretched album to play about 5 times.
They never blasted music unless they asked me first, not even for a party. Their way to eventually make peace was to invite me to the party. Because they knew if they didn't, and disturbed my sleep, _Kindertotenlieder_ would return
In my province, there is a law dealing with Reasonable Right to Enjoyment of Property and it deals with noise outside of quiet hours. I've never had to use it but just knowing that it's there is a relief.
Story 2, if she was such a braggart about having her insurance pay for a massage that technically shouldn't be covered, they should have coded the insurance with the correct service and have her insurance not cover the service so she would have to pay for her massage.
The main doctor didn't care. All they saw were $$$$$$.
@@huntjl88 potentially you can get more as a private pay when insurance companies basically dictate what they will be paying. Sure there could be a deductible, but insurance companies can take as much as 6 months to pay the doctor off.
@@timothyweers8054 Yes this doctor just saw $$$$ and didn't think about what he was paying just to get his payment.
But she would already have had the massage, so in essence, at least one FREE massage.
Story 4; After a few days you're wondering why Peppa didn't work in her parent's place?
I think I can see why "Peppa" didn't work at her parents' restaurant. Either they knew she would be even worse there ("My parents own the place! You can't say ANYTHING to me and I can do what I want!"), or she did work there and got herself fired for doing so.
Story 4: She didn't work for her parents' successful restaurant because the parents didn't want to add dead weight to their staff.
OP on the nude beach did OK. Karma got Karen with a fine for wasting police time. Really easy to figure out why Peppa didn't work in her parents' restaurant. You gotta be bad for your family to reject you.
They might also have hoped it would force her to grow up.
@@JeffDeWittobviously it didn’t happen!😅
@@JeffDeWitt Yeah - on somebody else's watch! Nice people.
@@rickraber1249 OK, if she was your daughter what would you do? As it is she pretty much had two choices, shape up and start learning what it was like to be an adult, or be humiliated and fired by people who wouldn't put up with her continued BS.
Story 2: The Karen is lucky to not have been charged with theft of service given that she verbally assaulted her people to steal a free massage.
Last story: The Sound Wars
He basically evolved into being Soundwave.
"Soundwave superior, downstairs neighbors inferior!"
LOL 😂😂😂😂😂
Heeeeeelp I had a mental image of Soundwave being petty to starscream if they were neighbors 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Story 2: Honestly, knowing the given context, I doubt this is the end of Karen encounters. She might try to spin some BS story over the fact that she needs to pay out of pocket now
Apparently this story was form before the internet so I guess we've heard the last of her.
I heard many story about father football career ending cause they get their GF pregnant and than impose to their boys the career he wanted (or the equivalent with the mother and her daughter), but I must say it's the first I get about forcing a child to a sport for "entertainment".... Parental liscence... if only there were a way !
The last one: Yeah, been there, done that, have the T-shirt with "I play Bagpipes" on it. We had a next door neighbor in the complex. They played loud music, argued, and everything else. I went over and asked them to keep it down and was greeted by a guy in a county sheriff's uniform. Yep, the noisy neighbor was a deputy. He also had a love of Tejano music, which I really can't stand. I asked the complex to ask him to turn it down but, nope, not happening because he's the security officer for the complex when he wasn't at work....trading the apartment for the service.
We got sick of his stuff so we turned the big speakers we had for our stereo system to the shared wall, turned the volume up to 11, and put on a Bagpipe CD, on repeat, and left for the day's worth of work. We get home to the sheriff huffing and puffing at us about the music and I just smiled, shrugged, and went inside. We did this for a week. There were notes left on our door, our cars, and we just ignored them. One night the manager came over and told us we had to stop it or we were going to be evicted.
Oh hell no! As long as the guy next door is playing his music at all hours (he worked days and stayed up until all hours...with music), we would be playing our favorites too. And, for good measure, I told the manager that I would be contacting the home office and letting them know that, if I was evicted over this, I would be filing suit against the manager, the complex, and the company. Which I did call them and it wasn't a week later that the sheriff was moving out and there was a new manager.
Play stupid music and annoy the neighbors, learn to like bagpipes..........
GET 'EM!!!!! 🙌🙌🙌
Bagpipes! Brilliant.
Story 2: I would've just quit on the spot. If it were me, well, this lady made one of my coworkers cry, she spends the whole hour talking about how much of a waste of space she is, and she caps it all off by saying she's a control freak of a mom that likes putting her daughter through something she hates just because it amuses her. No amount of money is worth dealing with that crap.
I refreshed my feed and saw a new video, then said, "Hello, Friends!" out loud. To no one. I'm so addicted. LOL!!
Story 5: "I have access to a 10-hour loop of It's A Small World After All, Baby Shark, and What Does The Fox Say. I WILL USE THIS POWER FOR EVIL!" *puts on army helmet, cranks up the volume, and prepares for war*
Ahahaha that was what I was imagining when OP said they had ginormous speakers. :D
What about Yoko Ono's experimental "music", where she's just screaming?
Or Disney music? Be Our Guest. Let It Go. It's A Small World. Under The Sea.
The theme from Barney! On a loop.
Story 3: I don't know the law specifically, but if the daughter was old enough then imagine if she went nude just to spite her Karen mom
Would be interesting to watch.
Legally if she wanted to she would have been able to strip right there on the nude beach. Would have been an absolutely wonderful spite on mom.
The thing is that nude beaches in many places dont actually have any laws regarding children being at them. The reason is that they are open to the public and the public includes all ages. TBH nude beaches, or naturalist beaches are they are also called, are a much safer place for a child to be at than a normal beach.
They also have signs up that people warning them that they may encounter nude sunbathers, so the Karen in this story really should have just sucked it up.
So yeah, it would have been hilarious to see her reaction on such. And hell, even on the normal beaches there a people, mainly woman, that wear close to just pieces of strings to cover themselves up with, and she's complaining about one nakid person. Also judging by the age of the girl she is old enough to see such normally.
@@Ryanthusar naturist* NOT naturalist. naturists are us fellow naked people, naturalists are wildlife photographers.
Exactly like have the cops come back and Karen’s chill adult daughter is also in her birthday suit “come on in mum, the water is fantastic!!!”
Story 1 if OP ever sees this, Valhalla Calling is one of my faves! You got good taste in music!
Story 4: I too work in a restaurant in Ohio as a dishwasher, and if and when Peppa does get fired, I pray to God that she doesn't apply for the restaurant I work at, if I so much as hear "f you and f off" I'm quitten immediately no "ifs ands or buts" either she goes or we go

Story 4: OP and the rest of the staff weren't doing themselves any favors by cleaning up after Peppa... she should have been left to face the consequences of her inaction.
OP and the male server *should* have gone to Peppa's new place of work, asked to be seated in her section, then stiffed her on the tip after telling her, "I'm keeping your tip to make up for having to do your job"... let Peppa explain that to her new manager.
The best way to get rid of an employee everyone hates, is not engage with them, group up to the GM, and say something along the lines of "either this person goes, or we go"
I think that's what most people would have done.
Story 3: imagine the police getting a call about the nudist beach and think I'm not getting pay enough to go to said beach because of a Karen.
Well at least there must have been some kind of law against misuse of police, so they at least got the sadisfaction of fineing her for the idiotic call.
This is why fining for idiotic call of police (not every false alarm) are important against karens
@@marcor815In law (at least here in the UK) there's a difference between a false call with good intent (eg alerting the police if there are suddenly lights on in a disused property, but it turns out to be workmen) and malicious misuse of the 999 system.
@@the_once-and-future_king. yes that important distinction between good intent and misuse was I trying to emphasise with the (not every false alarm) coment
It would be fun it an off-duty officer took to nude sunbathing and that Karen showed up. Imagine the Pikachu face when he/she pulled their badge from the picnic basket!
@@marcor815 The biggest problem is they only prosecute after so many incidents. If they prosecuted after the first malicious call it would stop the problem instantly.
Story 5: Bagpipe music is effective. So is "It's a Small World" on endless repeat.
Who goes to the store AFTER getting McDonalds???? The fries will get mushy and cold!!! THIS is the true sin of story 1! LMAO
I too am norse pagan and "Valhalla calling me" is something my kids and I blast on the regular in our car... almost ready for a Karen to f around and find out now 🤣🤣

“Don’t shake your heads to hard!”
Me: welp, time to get the neck brace again
Wow... I'm blessed that I have a boss that decides to keep/drop clients and is usually the one to talk to people, and when they get too Karen-esque, we just drop them like hot cakes. No, we DON'T need your patronage. Have fun with that, Karen/Kevin.
My boss could hear someone swearing at me over the phone and she yanked the phone from me started screaming at this customer and said she did not want her business if she treats her staff like we're trash and hung up the phone
story 4: the victim always gets blamed.
Love the 1st story. As a Norse Pagan myself, I've dealt with all kinds of religious nuts who feel they have a right to force me to believe their religion is right. It's called Freedom of Religion. It's one of our inalienable rights.
Story 5.... Noisy neighbor bangs on my floor, I'd become passionate about Irish Clog Dancing. 🤨
When my sister got divorced, money was tight. She and her three-year old son moved into low-income housing. These apartments were actually very nice. There were four two-bedroom apartments in each building, and six buildings making up the complex. Turned out that my sister was the only person in her building and the closest next door building who worked. So it was loud music, arguments and domestic violence, and other fun interruptions ALL NIGHT LONG every night of the week. She asked the people to lower the noise so she could sleep, but they only got worse. The police would come, noise went away until they left the complex, and then it went right back to party time. As soon as she could save up enough money to move out, she did.
Anti-Satanic Karen story: I'm Christian, but was raised to respect, as well as question, all faiths and my children were raised that way as well. My son belongs to the SCA (Society for Creative Anachronisms) and does pre-renaissance reenactments. His "persona" is that of a Norse raider. As such he wears a "Thor's Hammer" necklace which a few belligerent people have taken issue with. His response? What can you point to that your God has done that All Father Odin hasn't? I'll even go one better. Odin promised to rid us of the Frost Giants. When was the last time you saw one of them? It usually shuts them up. Fun fact, he works at a Catholic hospital.
Peppa story: OP, I think it's OBVIOUS why she doesn't work at her parent's restaurant. THEY DON'T WANT HER THERE!!! She probably pulled that BS and cost them money and customers. Not good for an "upscale" restaurant. But your store's management was lousy for allowing this to continue as long as it did.
Music wars story: OP, you didn't list two of my favorite revenge styles of music. One, old time COWBOY music with yodeling and two, bagpipe music which is very entertaining. I've heard some excellent Star Wars music done to bagpipes as well as some classic rock and other genre's. Very good if you like bagpipes. Very annoying if you don't. Just keep it in mind folks. Listen to some of The Snake Charmer's pieces, you'll git the drift.
YES!!! ALLLLL OF THIS!! I especially like where your son references Odin getting rid of the Frost Giants!!! 🤣🤣🤣
first story: MASSIVE missed opportunity.
in the shop: take your phone, start the song again and walk towards them.
and then watch as the penny drops.
Back in the late 60’s-early 70’s, my mom and I lived in an upstairs apartment. The downstairs neighbor would blare their music till all hours of the night. This would happen several times a week, and even though my mom went down and asked them to turn it down at night several times times, because it very disruptive, especially when I had to go to school the next day. Nothing at all changed. So one day, after they had an obviously long night, my mom got up at 6 a.m. She took both of our speakers and put them on the floor, face down. She grew up during the Big Band era, and it could be extremely loud, especially if you played Count Basie. She turned it all the way up with the base at full force. We soon heard a knock on the door. Hard to hear it due to the music. There our neighbor stood, with an angry look on her face, asking us to turn the music down. My mom just looked at her with a big grin on her face. The woman then said sheepishly “You’re not going to turn it down, are you?” My mom just said “What do you think?”. She then turned around and slowly walked down the stairs. She always kept her music down after that, especially after 9:00 😊.
Story 2: as soon as karen said the receptionists were idiots, shouldve refused service and kicked her out for abusing staff, dont give a karen an inch.
Story 1: She sure has given her soon to be ex-husband enough ammunition to get full custody of their children😢
I'm surprised she backed down so quickly when facing resistance. Perhaps her upcoming divorce has let her know that her behavior is self-detrimental and when called out on it, she belatedly shuts her mouth.
@@Galaxy1001D Well there are witnesses to her bad behavior, so I’m guessing that she will tone it down from now on😒
Story 4. If true I wouldn’t be surprised that the reason she didn’t work at the family restaurant was because they knew she would cause issues for the business so they sent her to competing establishments instead
I agree. Her family knew she would cause them problem and loss of customers, with her attitude. That's why they send her to job at another restaurant and destroy them
Story 2 - Why is OP celebrating? "Not my problem anymore" isn't a victory, she's just literally not their problem anymore. Unfortunately, this sort of accommodation is Service Standard, and there's nothing to be done about it.
After 20+ years of having a good relationship with their neighbours, my aunt and uncle were told that their neighbour was moving to Ireland to help look after her elderly father. Her kids had all grown up and married, and she felt it was the right thing to do.
Her house was put up for sale, bought by a company that provided rooms for university students. The four bedroom house was then converted into student housing.
Having raised four kids, three of whom were boys, my aunt and uncle, who were then in there late 60s, had been through the fights between the boys, on everything from which Premier Football Club was better, which music better, or even the age old fights because he's (almost) touching me! Typical brothers, if they weren't fighting, they were getting ready for a night out at the clubs. So they knew what a house full of lads without their parents, and access to alcohol wasn't going to be fun, but they also knew they were young and out in the world, so expected a little trouble at first.
But they weren't expecting the problems they had with one lot of students.
As predicted, a couple of months into the new school year, they had to knock and asked if they could keep it down between 11pm and 7am, during the week, as the law stated, but they also gave them a little leeway at the weekends too. That was fine.
At the end of July, they left, and the next term, September, a bunch of girls came, and my aunt said they didn't know they were even there most of the time. All good.
The next term, after the girls left, they had more boys move in. And they REALLY didn't care about the neighbours on either side of the terrace.
Both my aunt and uncle had, repeatedly, politely asked the lads to tone it down a little at night.
They were met with either indifference or hostility in varying levels, depending on who they spoke to.
The boys would deliberately bang on the shared wall of their bedroom at 1-2am, play loud music, to wake them up. Curse and swear at them when they'd ask them to stop.
They even called the university a that they went to, and student housing to complain about them. Nothing was done. The police and the local council told them to keep a diary of times and dates, etc. But they got nowhere.
Then, in an unrelated incident, my aunt became very ill and was in hospital. As you can imagine, spending all day with his wife, worrying as to what was going to happen to her, not knowing if she would even pull through, and to come home exhausted, go to bed and just as you're finally sleeping, the lads start with their nonsense next door!
That's when my uncle snapped and let his petty side out to play! He called his eldest son, who was a chip off the old block, and said that he was now willing to go with his suggestion.
An hour later, my cousin had set up one of his 4 ft tall speakers up at his house and fixed it so that it was facing the neighbours wall.
My cousin had set it up so that it would play TH-cam videos. And showed his dad where to find the most annoying ones.
I found this out when my uncle called me, asking if I was busy? Telling him that I wasn't, he came to my flat in the next street over and told me that he'll get the little bar stewards!
I asked him what he'd done. He said that they'd had some sort of party or were just drinking and playing loud music. Now it was his turn for revenge!
He had turned up the speaker to deafening and set a video of 10 hours of continuous dogs barking and another annoying likewise video.
As it was just below the noise pollution level, and it was set up to finish at 10.55pm, it was legal, annoying AF, but legal.
After nearly a week of this, that started at various times, between 7am and 11pm, the university student housing got in touch about the noise. My uncle basically told them that if they wanted him to stop, then they needed to make sure that their students weren't causing the problems to begin with! That in case they had forgotten, he'd come to them months before and complained about them, and THEIR excess and unwanted noise in the middle of the night, and they'd done nothing! And now the shoe's on the other foot, they want him to stop? Not happening!
After that, there was only one other incident, but apart from that, there weren't really any more problems, for some reason!
Story 3 - Seriously what did that stupid EM think ‘Nude Beach’ means? Thank goodness her daughter had a cool level head.
Remember karens are allergic to responsibility. When she refused to take the paper he had that showed the law It was a full one example that she believed she was in the right. Sometimes some of them are dumb enough to make their punishments worse by Trying to tell the judge at a court case that he's wrong. And then our shock their punishment is way worse
Story 1: I don’t know what’s wrong with that lady. I’m Christian and Valhalla Calling is one of my favorite songs! Especially the Payton Perrish version!
#3: lady, don’t you know that nude means NAKED!
Story 1: I used to have a co-worker like that. The only music she wouldn't complain about was boring, dreary church music. Even Christian "rock" that made Adele sound like GWAR by comparison was "devil music."
Story 5: The girlfriend is the real A-hole of the story, not letting the neighbor be considerate of OP and stuff like that. I bet you whoever moved in after OP left would've also done the same thing OP did had the neighbor suddenly start up the music again
I know the post is old, but I would find it funny if OP played the USSR national anthem just to remind him that it's "Our house"
This story is legend. It makes the rounds every so often on the Reddit oriented channels.
So OP would have been written up if Peppa tried attacking them again?
The one about the loud neighbors- I would have played a loop of Baby Shark all day, or maybe Tiptoe Through The Tulips. With an occasional burst of the maniacal laugh from the song Wipeout. Just at random times through an otherwise unbroken loop of some ungodly earworm of a song. Maybe Bill Mumy's Fishheads would have been a good choice...
I once had neighbors like those in the last story, myself, several decades back. They lived across the hall from me, but our apts were at the end of the bldg, so our kitchens backed onto each other, and shared the same wall.
The neighbors would play rap music super loud, with the bass beat thumping through the wall so hard that I could feel the vibrations, and it would also drown out my TV. They wouldn't turn it down, either.
Now I had recently gotten a new compact stereo system, but the speakers were surprisingly high quality for their size and low cost, and had really good bass to boot. Plus, I loved heavy metal. So the next time the neighbors began blasting their rap music, I turned my speakers to face our shared wall, threw on Metallica's Black Album, and cranked the volume. Rap, meet "Enter Sandman."
Metallica won.
The neighbors either used headphones after that, or played their music at loud volumes elsewhere, because we never had any more Battles of the Bands after that evening.
Restaurant owner down the street story: I guess you found out why Peppa didn't work at her parents' restaurant.
I'm old school, if I hire you to work, that's what I expect. If not you're gone.
Story 4: No way in hell Peppa wasn't sleeping with the manager, it's the only way that kind of behavior gets ignored by higher ups.
Why did the police tell him to ignore people like that from now on? She wouldn't leave him alone!
#1 That Karen IS one of the things that are wrong with the world. Even her husband is fed up with her antics and divorcing her. Her kids are probably ashamed of their mother. I highly doubt that that Karen will learn from those events. She just can't learn from them because, in what passes as her mind, she's right and everyone who don't agree can only be totally wrong.
#2 That Karen is all about bragging and me, myself and I. NO regard to anybody else. Self important and full of herself. She'll end up alone and shunned by everyone.
#3 Karen is acting all shocked while her daughter is, we're on a nudist beach, so, seeing naked peoples is normal. Also, she's ashamed about her Karen of a mother.
#4 That Pepa should have been fired mid day 1. At every one of her jobs, she should also get fired before the end of the first day due to her attitude. My guess is that she don't work at her parent's restaurant because she greatly hurt the business and got fired by her parents.
#5 That speaker is intended for arenas and outdoors concerts. They are intended to be heard from over 100m in open spaces.
The fact that the beach Karen took the booklet just to throw it on the ground shows just how childish she is
I love the last one 🤣👏
The speaker story reminds me of the stereo fight I got into with my neighbor years ago when I was living in my last apartment. The guy was blaring music out of his open window for no reason at all. It wasn't like he was outside enjoying his music; he had it cranked up so that it shook all of the neighbors' apartments. There was maybe 15 feet between the buildings in our complex. I decided to fight fire with fire. He might have had death metal, but I had a Denon stereo system, and I was a band director and professional musician by trade.
I put on Respighi's Pines of Rome and pointed my speakers at his apartment. I played the 1st and 4th movements. Yeah, after the impromptu concert by Herbert von Karajan and the Berlin Philharmonic, the neighbor went radio silent. 😂
Something's fishy in Peppa story. Every incident of Peppa being SOOOOO horrible is met with management snapping down on both employees, and even OP's own mother, who ostensibly would have known of Peppa and her instigating from OP, did the same.
Sounds like a hugely biased story from an equally pain in the ass teenage girl who's ooooh soooo perfect and targeted Peppa as much as, if not more, than Peppa did her.
Last story: you have a child now. Start blasting "Baby Shark" 😂
First story, do I need any more proof it's a compulsive behavior? Friends, don't let Karens be Karens!
Yes, the fact that she shut up when Norseman told her to indicates that she knows she's out of control. Her husband made no secret that her confrontational behavior is ruining her life.
I'm a Christian & I have to say that I love the song Valhalla Calling!! Some people are just crazy!!
I remember a woman complaining that her kids couldn't play Frisbee in the field marked "Picnic Area". I didn't know at the time that "Karen" was the formal name for this type of person.
If I'd been Krista, I'd have told her to get out or the Police will be called on her!
I'd have had her removed by the Police for Harassment, Verbal Assault, Trespassing and Creating a Public Disturbance!
#5: USUALLY there’s a 90 day window when someone is hired that they can be “let go” for as little as, oh yeah, no reason at all. Peppa should not have ever been able to reach day 89!
Karen in story 2 deserves the Kenshiro treatment.
The a-hole neighbors on the last story had a Yamamoto moment. Once OP fired up that concert speaker, the neighbors were all “I fear we have awoken a sleeping giant”
The last story reminds me of an asshole neighbour that live in the apartment next to us for a while and at some point for almost a year buddy was just obnoxious and loud and there where constant fights, people breaking his windows and most annoyingly theyd play loud shitty bassy music at all hours and for some reason the cops nor building did nothing about this despite us and several other tenants around him complaining and calling the police.
I'm glad that at some point back in October 2020 buddy just up and abandoned the apartment though they left a huge mess for the super tentent to clean up (like busted up appliances, broken windows, trash and shit everywhere)
Buddy was a douche and really probably should be in a mental hospital since they seemed rather unhinged and always fighting and causing problems.
When selecting music to blast to jerk neighbours, always go Uptempo Hardcore! An hour of the kicks and screeches at full blast will cause significant structural damage! 😅
Nude beach story: Sounds like someone who buys a house next to an airport then wants it shut down because they don't like the noise! 🤔
Years ago I worked for a city that was literally across the interstate from a major metro airport. And we heard this ALL THE TIME.
Exactly.
I live close to the Brussels airport for the last 25 years, without really have a problem with some airplane noise. My new neighbours bought the house and moved in 6 months ago, and have already started a petition to protest about the noise and are pissen because nobody in the Street wanted to sign………
@@lukmaes6290i was about to tell my own stories abt people buying property next to our local airport and then complain and then I saw your post , I'm in Oostende lol . Belgians are the worst .
same could be said for people buying houses NEXT TO A RACE TRACK AND EXPECTS ABSOLUTE SILENCE
*also, F__k you karrens!*
I've worked retail for many years, the trick to dealing with these special people is to treat them like Charlie Brown's parents. 😊
The muffled horn speech😅 that's pretty much what i hear anyway with these people only a little screechier.😅
Get Peppa on camera not working. Then show it to the guy writing the paychecks. If there's one thing a business owner doesn't want is to pay someone to stand around and play on the phone.
Ive actually done the speaker part, had a literal crackhead move in downstairs, talked to herself constantly, stole my futon that was on the porch, lied and said landlord gave it to her, smoked inside just about every hour, leaving me to inhale the secondhand smoke, just a horrible person.
So i got a 400 watt speaker system for my pc and started looping five finger death punch playlists when i left for work.
Vahalla Calling truly is an awesome song 😊 its so nice to hear im not alone listening to that kind of music lol. Beserker is another great one.
It's obvious that her own family don't want her anywhere near their successful restaurant for fear of the damage she will do to their reputation.
Story 5 the only other thing OP should've added to that soundtrack was the baby crying off and on between the music😅😅😅
Last story: Years ago I heard a song about a guy who was being evicted for playing his music too loud. The song ended with the guy saying that tonight he's going to show his neighbors what ten thousand watts per channel really means. I remember the song but I have no idea who sang it.
Peppa story. Go to the restaurant, be a bothersome customer if she's in your table and use her bad attitude to give no tip and make q complain
You know that Peppa would spit in OP's food, or worse. She's that kind of garbage pile in a people-suit.
No leave a tip, the tip that says they weren't worth it, which is to leave a single penny.
Story 1: I am a Christian. I can point to many parts of my life and say, "Yes, God for sure guided me here.", or "God DEFINITELY pointed me in *this* direction there." I love my God. I also listen to a lot of metal music. I especially love Swedish metal bands, Brothers of Metal being the most recently discovered band. Their music is all about Vikings and Norse gods/myths/legends. I love their music. It's loud and upbeat (duh, heavy metal!). Just because music is loud doesn't mean it's "devil music". And just because it may not be "Christian" music (pagan/ viking in this case? Correct me if I have the religion wrong) doesn't mean it's evil. Christianity is NOT the only religion...
I'm gonna press x to doubt that Karen is even Christian at all. It wouldn't be the first Karen who just wants to make trouble, so she makes up a reason.
I've always believed there is a difference between Christians and "Christians". Christians are about love and acceptance no matter what. "Christians" are about hating anyone who doesn't match their "Christian" viewpoint. AKA, hateful bigots and hypocrites
Norse people call it Asatru sometimes it's written as Asatro. I'm English born and bred but my family tree on both parent's sides go back 1000 years to Norse men. Interestingly they never needed a word for their religion until Christian missionaries turned up, then they had to give it a name to differentiate it.
Story 5: if that was me they would've had bagpipes and bardcore thrown into the mix
That last story reminded me of one I heard a while back. A bunch of college boys rented a house together in an otherwise quiet neighborhood, and would party LOUD and LONG on the weekends. Their Monday garbage pickup indicated that there was quite a bit of drinking going on at these events. So the boys' neighbor decided to do them a good turn. At about 8 am on the morning after one of these wing-dings, he showed up and pounded on their door with a big baking sheet of over easy, runny eggs, and piles of smoked oysters and some nice canned sardines, all of which had been left out at room temp long enough to be good and smelly. He knocked on their door, pushed the sheet at them and said that after all that partying the night before, he was pretty sure they needed some high quality protein in order to recover. The poor kid took one look - and one sniff - of the platter, covered his mouth with his hand and ran for the bathroom. The neighbor guy left the sheet on their front door step and went home chuckling. There were no more parties after that.
That is definitely one aspect of UK law I wish we would emulate or replicate here in the States. Getting a fine for wasting police time with a frivolous emergency call. We have essentially weaponized the police to the point where you can make an anonymous phone call about a person minding their own business and not breaking any laws and you have a good chance of ruining that person's entire life.
Last story, tried being polite, tried being diplomatic, but no D-bag wants to have it his way.
Well ok then, full scorched earth!
The most tasty selection of stories today, Fluff! Thank you so much xxx
I have a story close to the last one. I was about 5 or 6. My parents and I lived in a top apartment. The bottom apartment people would play loud music. My dad was working 3 jobs and my mom was pregnant. My dad had tried talking to the downstairs neighbors about the music but it would never stop. My dad has a nice sound system he bought around the time i was born. He flipped the two tall speakers onto the ground and cranked the music all the way up. The neighbors got pissed and called the cops saying that my dad was beating up my mom. (I have no idea where that accusation came from) police show up. They were confused at first. With the speakers on the ground it did look like there could have been a fight but no one was hurt and we all had the same story. I dont know what happened with the neighbors but they were gone within a couple weeks and we did not hear anymore music.
As to the entitled server story she should have been fired for rude behavior towards the customers on top of being lazy and rude towards her co workers. All the co workers should have said either she goes or we go. Op should have people the snotty server didn't know go where she works and complain to management how horrible she is to give her a lesson.
Story 4, it's pretty obvious why Peppa didn't "work" at her parents successful restaurant, if Peppa did it wouldn't have been successful at all
First story: why not just walk on by and ignore it? Too easy though.
Why was peppa working there instead of her family's restaurant? Probably because the parents knew her attitude and what it would do to the restaurant's reputation.
How in HELL did Peppa not end up with Assault Charges?
She literally attacked her coworkers and didn't even get a Write Up? WTF?
If I'd been OP, the moment she took a swing at me, I'd have grabbed the phone and dialed 911 and Pressed Assault Charges against Peppa!
OOO! New music! That song Valhalla Calling is really good. I hadn't heard it before. If Karen thinks that's devils music, I'd play The Band Red for her ;)
I would’ve rolled the window up slowly and scream “HAIL SATAN!!!!!” As she walks away
When people like the lady in story 1 show up, I always tell them that everyone leaving them because of their behavior obviously means they are meant to be a nun. They either look enlightened or backpeddal, which gives me an excuse to call them out on not being as devoted as they say they are.
My first wife dealt with a similar situation in her freshman dorm by playing Ry Cooter's "One Meatball" and Tex Ritter's "Blood in the saddle."
I love Tex Ritter's songs !!!!!!!
Oh my gosh that story with the music reminds me of one I did. When I was in an apartment there were people that moved in above me that I don't know if they were playing games or movies but they would be going on until the wee hours of the morning sometimes pounding and exploding noise thru my ceiling. I tried to go and ask them to turn it down they didn't care I went through management to ask them to do something they didn't care. I had a surround sound system but I kept it tweaked so the bass was minimum and the sound was low... One night I was home alone and got fed up with it while trying to sleep. There happens to be nobody below or beside me so I got up, retuned the amp for max bass, took the speakers off the foam pads (which I put around the speakers to damp sound going thru the walls/floor/ceiling where they were mounted), got my over ear hearing protection and enjoyed some train videos (hobby of mine) - cranked so yhe horns and rumbling was pounding thru my chest painfully loud far more than sitting trackside of real railroad would be. After 10 minutes or so I shut it down and went to bed. It was totally silent. And I didn't have that problem again.
Story 2- It was really messed up that you let the girl up front take the blame for the phone call you made. When it came to getting your money you could speak up but you couldn't speak up when someone else was brought to tears because getting your money was such a priority to you?I hope you had a really horrific hour and was much worse than you made it seem here. The girl who brought to tears had to deal with the fallout from your phone call longer than an hour!
