Story 1 - While this story is bizarre, OP should look on the bright side. He helped rescue those kids from that drug addicted woman who kidnapped her own kids from her ex.
@@cyndib511 I’ve worked at McDonalds and after a while I didn’t even want to eat there. It also didn’t help that my brother made me watch the movie ‘Super Size Me’ when it was released.
My dog had a very sensitive tummy, and we learned the hard way that even certain brands of dog treats really blew up his system. So I understand that one should ALWAYS ask permission before feeding someone else's animals. You don't want to end up being responsible for making someone else's pet sick, or even killing them. You'd be amazed how expensive some animals are!
My dog is allergic to chicken. She breaks into little zits. She also gets diarrhea...and major gas so bad it lasts for DAYS. I don't like people feeding her cheap treats either...gives her tummy aches.
I know a dog who finds her own treats. People's stashes of weed hidden in bushes. The owner is not on a good income and has had to take her to the vet several times because the poor dog is spacing out.
Though surprised not a boomer, as he knows a web program that attempted to brute force OP's password, he was able to get away with it with the land lord, OP is 3 parallel universes ahead of his entitled nayber
Not just cheap- also stupid. Could've been legal about it and still saved himself some cash both with the old WiFi and the new one if he'd approached the respective owners to offer to pay the connection halfsies with them. Landlord would've possibly agreed because he wasn't using his internet at all most of the time, and OP has already stated being fine with sharing the connection he got. Especially with business hardware that can prevent a lot of the headaches of someone using up more bandwith than is fair.
Last story: "You're being an vindictive a-hole" My response would have been "Yes, yes I am as I don't like big vet bills or my pets uncontrollably crapping or vomiting on my carpets because some dolt and his crotch goblins wouldn't stop feeding them food they can't handle."
My response would’ve been no I’m not an a***ole I’m a motherf****r and if you want to find out how much of a motherf****r I can be just try me. You say you can’t care what people think about you otherwise they’ll run right over you
I have no problem with it because the kids also need to learn to respect others. It would be different if the parents were feeding the dogs, and OP didn't give cupcakes to the kids, but since it's the kids themselves doing it, this is the best way to teach them how causing trouble for others has consequences.
It’s like the dad actually told the kids to focus on OP and their dogs - repeatedly following them around. The kids still did it and at 7 they have some skill at reading social cues. I know it’s not fun to be excluded they are also not entitled to other people’s food.
Yeah, if the kids were trying to feed my Shelties, there would be a huge problem, including getting the police involved. It's not Karen behavior to tell someone to stop interfering in your life, and feeding your dogs is interference. Thing is, if my kids were doing that, I would expect the other lady to bring candy and soda for MY kids and when dad told me to stop, I'ld tell him to go get a social life, I can feed his kids anything I want. Lots of Mountain Dew and Chocolate. Skittles. And everything else. It's the same freakin' thing. My dogs are my fur-babies (all my kids are grown, 5 of my 9 grandkids are adults and all but 2 live out of town and I miss all of them) and I lavish lots of love on them, but they are proper treats and done when I'm not going to interfere with anyone else's dog. And an owner doesn't know if there's not poison in those "treats" the kids are feeding the dogs. Or botulism, which is just as deadly for dogs--left over food might just be tainted. And...why are those kids at a dog park anyway? If they don't have a dog there, they should be playing elsewhere.😡😤😲
Story 1: that woman is a bit smarter then she looks as she not using her credit or debit card as the police can track a person credit history but her mistake is going to the same restaurant using the same tactic.
Last story, I knew of someone that fed KIDS this way. Some A-hole that threw hard candy near a highschool, the way you throw crumbs at pigeons. The younger kids had enough sense to not take a stranger's candy from the floor, but the seniors were picking it up like someone busted a piñata. The school staff told the guy multiple times to stop doing that and he would say that he was outside, he can do whatever he wants, he pays taxes, seeing the kids taking the candy made him happy, etc. He also had some sob story, something like he 'promised his dead daughter that he would share candy with kids'. I don't know if he's still doing that.
@@BonniRaven What both entitled a-holes don't understand is that they might have good intentions (says them!) but they're training the dogs/kids to eat stuff without question. Someone else can easily exploit that and do a lot of damage. Neither a-hole cares beyond their instant satisfaction: Someone that really likes dogs doesn't feed them stuff that makes them sick. And someone that really likes kids doesn't encourage roughhousing for candy next to a busy street.
Stay inside the fence, but her right up in his face every time he shows up with his 'candy' and get him on video throwing the candy. Then used the footage to get him charged for littering
Story 2 - Something about ‘calling the police’ just freaks people out even when they’ve done nothing wrong, and it also didn’t help that the Karen threatened him and OP with ‘losing their jobs’
It’s possible that “Phil” had been wrongly accused of theft in the past, so his skin was thin on that topic. Or he actually had a criminal record, so was wary about another strike. That doesn’t excuse his intemperate behavior, however. He should have walked to the back to vent, rather than blow his stack.
@@tmntfangirl4700 Also, cruise ships tend to have diverse international employment. With a lot of employees from around the world. Phil could have been from a country where one could be thrown in jail for accusations with little merrit.
Story 3: a co-worker told me that she suspected her neighbor was stealing her internet service. A buddy of mine went over with me and we did the same thing but took it a step further: we captured all the MAC addresses from that neighbor, matched up the device type and then gave her a spreadsheet showing attempt/login times. She took the information to her landlord and now she has new neighbors.
Story 2: the fact that Phil was panicking in that situation, leads me to believe that he either hasn't been in this situation before, or has been in it so many time with a manager who isn't as smart as OP's
Exactly. If this had been on land in a pub that isn't as dected out with cameras, both OP and Phil would be in handcuffs until the cops are done searching their belongings and cars if they had one.
Last Story: Personally, I’d have taken a large spray bottle filled with water to the dog park with me, and squirted the man and his uncontrollable crotch goblin with it every time they tried to feed my dogs. Vet bills are no joke, and my dogs’ health and welfare are far more important to me than some rando idiots who are intent on doing my dogs harm.
There is a viral video series where the OP's insane Karen of a neighbour was trying to break into their house simply to get their WIFI password and was threatening them and their family. She was seriously scary insane. I think I remember OP saying that the Karen was arrested for attempted breaking and entering, threats of violence and menacing.
So that last story, OP is not the a-hole. Also they are not being vindictive, told the child to stop but since their father said it was ok it’s his fault. Now me, I would have found the most sugary candy and highest caffeine soda and been like “here kids”. 😈
While I don't agree with your take on whether OP is being an a-hole and vindictive, as the kids really don't know any better, I definitely agree with your idea of punishing the father. That actually does a much better job at teaching the father the lesson then what OP did.
@@RyujishidaNo. Kids should respect what other adults tell you. If someone says "Please don't feed my dog", you need to listen to them because it isn't your dog. Even if your dad says it's okay, they should have listened when the owner said it wasn't. If I were OP, I would have told the kids that it isn't his dog so he doesn't get to say whether it's okay or not, I do. And since I told you to stop, you need to stop.
@FoxFighter-HellBringer In a perfect world, yes. Sadly, not all adults are to be trusted and respected and any good parent will always have their kids check with them first, before any other adult. Or should the kids just be respecting the adults in the van that give them candy and need help finding their puppy? The kids only know to trust and listen to their parents and it is the parent's job to teach them who and who not to respect.
@@Ryujishida So then OP is doing the job of the parent here by teaching both the child and the parent a lesson here. What if someone said "Don't pet my dog because he might bite you" only for the kid to ignore you and get bitten? Who's at fault? The kid. Same thing here. You were told not to do something and now you get to suffer the consequence.
Always listen to the pet owner! I was buying a muzzle for my 90lb Portuguese Fila, when a little girl maybe 5-6 years old came up yelling “ohhh mommy, I want to pet the pretty doggie!” I’m standing right in front of the muzzles mind you and the mom is go right ahead honey. In a stern voice I said “STOP” loudly while stepping between the little girl and my dog. I said “NO, you don’t pet someone’s dog you don’t know especially when they’re getting a muzzle!” Mom just grabbed her crotch goblin and ran.
Story 4: NTA you're being a caring, responsible pet owner, don't apologize for that. Next time give his kids Pixie Stix by the handful. That'll learn him.
Honestly I thought that's where this was going. Like, feed the kids a stomachache's worth of cake even if the guy tries to say that's enough. Throw his words back at him. The whole nine 😂
Story 3: “You trespassed in my backyard, you admitted to stealing Internet access, you tried to hack my WiFi, and now you’re calling the landlord stupid? I’m sure he’ll be very interested to hear all of this, as it’s grounds to have your lease terminated. Last warning.”
This post is giving me some deja vu Now I remember this post was already covered on this Channel 2 years ago, I dark fluff did it again for that fresh 2023 content
As someone who has anger management issues and severe anxiety when wronged, I kind of understand Phil's rage in this situation. Threatening a person's livelihood is no joke, especially in situations like these, when we know there's a chance the manager might cater to the Karen.
As someone who's been on a bunch of cruises and who has forgotten their purse at the Lido buffet, I think it's possible that Phil might have been from a country where one is guilty until proven innocent. Otherwise, why was he freaking out so? Unless he was afraid that he might be caught for some OTHER crime in the process of investigating Drunk Karen's purse. I left my purse at lunch on a cruise and realized 20 minutes later what I had done. I went back, and one of the waiters told me that the purse had been taken to Guest Services. I went there and got my intact purse back.
@@GoinBand2 Maybe Phil was fired from a previous job (or got written up) because he faced a Karen like that one and the manager sided with the Karen because "the customer is always right". Karens and spineless managers exist everywhere.
If I was in Phil's shoes I'd be crying. I tend to get upset as opposed to getting angry, so to have this lady yelling at me over something I didn't do would have me in tears.
Story 2 - Sorry, that drunk should have honestly been escorted BACK to her cabin and it checked first for the bag, no where else. The moment she started throwing around litigation and such she should have been told "I'm sorry, but since you have threatened legal action you are going to be asked to pack your bags and get off at the next port of call."
Ugh... that drunk Karen reminds me of a story with my cousin... It was New Year's Eve. My cousin (cousin A) and his family, along with another cousin (cousin B), came to spend the night with my family. After the fireworks, cousin B and I went for a walk at the beach with cousin A and his buddies. By 3 AM, the cousin A and the buddies had had quite a few drinks (I don't drink and cousin B is a minor), while cousin B and I were tired and wanted to go home. I lent cousin A my house's key so he wouldn't wake everyone up when he came back, and made my way home with cousin B. People were still awake by that point, and I explained the situation. We all went to sleep. By 7 AM, the doorbell rang loudly, waking up the whole house. It was cousin A, wet from the waist down and with sand all over him. Apparently he entered the sea fully clothed and passed out on the sand before finally coming home. When I questioned him later why he didn't use the key, he had the audacity to say that I never gave it to him, and that I was imagining things! Everyone was pissed at cousin A for waking them up that early and leaving sand all over the house, and after that incident, he was banned from spending New Year with us. Oh, and the key? His mother found it in his wallet YEARS later. He put it there and completely forgot about it. 🤦♂
S2: Here is the thing, if the purse came up missing, they could be held accountable (even if they didn't take it) and I'm willing to bet that Phil has been fked over before, and could push digging into his life that would instantly backfire. Honestly I would demand that the woman be arrested for the harrasment.
*Last Story:* OP is clearly NOT THE A-HOLE because... *_what if the kids had an allergy to certain ingredients in the cupcakes?_* I can bet there would've been a huge lawsuit for that!
Last story NTA. Those kids are going to get hurt at some point if they don't learn to ALWAYS check with the owners before interacting with any strange dogs.
Story 3: I have _never_ broadcast my SSID. I'm glad OP eventually turned off broadcasts, but it should have been that way from day one. If nobody knows you're there, they can't be tempted. Also, good call turning on MAC address filtering, but it sounds like he blacklisted the intruder's machine. It's more secure to whitelist only those devices that you specifically want to allow in.
Turning off SSID broadcasting, and MAC address filtering, will only protect you from stupid people It isn’t hard to get around both of those (beware of devices connected to the hidden WiFi network revealing the existence of the hidden WiFi network)
@@jessicaash9719 You log onto your access point's configuration page and look at the WiFi section. Depending on the manufacturer, you then select the option to hide the SSID or unselect the option to broadcast it. How you get access to the config page is dependent on the manufacturer and your service provider. They should have documentation.
I'm glad you pointed out how weird it was for Phil to be so out of control knowing they didn't steal the purse... He's obviously done some sketchy stuff & doesn't want to be caught or he has warrants....
@Ryujishida that or he was accused of theft that he never done and that accusation got him fired, even though he was proven innocent and the management didn't want to deal with the drama of negative online reviews. Not all restaurants/pubs have cameras on every corner, so the likelihood of theft by employees or other customers(more so by other customers) in "blind spots" can happen.
Ya, or even the hint of police sniffing at him could blow up in his face. The thing is ... Often it doesn't matter if the employee was right or wrong, they get fucked over in the end. What also doesn't help is that the woman wasn't punished for the blatent accusations or threats either.
Story 1: That Entitled Mother shouldn't have had those kids in the first place if she was getting a divorce, what's more, the little girl realized what was going on and obviously didn't want to leave her mother
Never buckle when pressured by the grammar police. Chances are, they don't know English as well as they pretend to. I'll bet he/she doesn't know what ElCid48 did wrong.
Story 2: A written apology is always better than a verbal one, because it can be filed as evidence. Now if she would on a later date think about getting revenge for the embarrassment, her apology note can be used as some sort of "historical" evidence, as to why OP or Phil or the manager or the restaurant they were working for were her target of any future incident involving the DK. The apology is a written and official document now. Phil needs to understand and accept the process, whether or not that apology was heartfelt or not...
Last story, as an ex owner of dogs that had been poisoned by strangers giving them weird meat, im fully on op's side, not everyone sees dogs and thinks puppy, some people will try to poison them out of spite,
Story 2: my guess is that Phil has a record or has had a traumatic interaction with cops (or both). People with records, even if they've been on the straight-and-narrow for a decade, know they never get the benefit of the doubt. Or maybe he's just got bad anxiety.
I lived in an apartment where someone started connecting into my WIFI and making my Internet slow. So, I used a software so survey the devices connected to the router and identified the unknown devices and I did the next: I never blocked the connection but I limited it to 5 kbps To me not connection is bad but connecting and not having internet is even worse, after that I made the WIFI invisible and open because I needed it for my old consoles and set the router to only give connection to the authorized Mac addresses I had to manually set. If your device is not on the list, no WIFI for you.
It's 4am here. I'm supposed to sleep as I need to be up at 6am for work. But DarkFluff's pull is so strong that I have to finish the video first. I love you Fluffy ❤
Story 2 : I know that you should remain calm in that kind of situation, but I don't think Phil is exaggerated. I hate to say this, when you are on accused side, you can't help but worried when people have a doubt about you. Much worse when cops came and starts power tripping on you when it's not even confirmed yet. I know not everyone is like this, but when it happens, it will so much hassle to clean your name on something you didn't do.
Story 4: One of these days , that "Father" and/or his kids are gonna try that with the wrong person's dogs, and that person will slip their dogs some poisoned/medicated sausage or something of that sort to teach them a lesson. Op ain't the Ahole, OP is a saint for trying to correct the children's behavior in such a peaceful way.
I would have said to that dog owner he is teaching those children that it's okay to not listen to other people. And they have to understand that there's consequences. If the father's not going to teach him I have to teach them.
Story 4 - the guy doing the "You're a Karen for trying to enforce your boundaries" is a bozo.. the other dog owner should have gotten Karen'd though for trying to side with the ED, as the ED was the main source of the problem
Story 2: Phil seem likes the guy with skeletons in his closet and scared that a false charge could lead to him being caught, like he knows he didn't do anything but if cops found something at his home well looking for a stolen purse that against the law (like illegal drugs) then he be screwed as he avoid thief charges but new ones would get hi in trouble.
Depending on the jurisdiction, officers searching someone's home with a warrant (which has to be specific as to what they're looking for), anything else they discover has to have a separate warrant. Nothing to prevent them from hanging around close by to make it exponentially more difficult to get rid of anything illegal from your home. In any case, he was on a cruise ship, him hiding the purse at home would be nigh impossible while aboard ship. So, the police searching his home would be pointless, and the warrant to search would (or, at least, SHOULD, considering corruption) also be nearly impossible. They would search him and his cabin and that's it. This is assuming American jurisdiction. If in international waters, the Captain's word is law. If in another country's territory, their laws hold sway.
If the guy is on probation for some previous conviction, then picking up new charges could lead to some unpleasant consequences even if he's ultimately cleared. I've seen a number of courtroom videos where conditions of bond or probation include "don't pick up any new charges".
@@ShakaarGaleed I'm with Phil on wanting to rip up that letter. I bet that letter wasn't even written by the Karen, but by her friend that brought it. Karen can't be grown up enough to apologize in person means she doesn't see what she did wrong or doesn't want to face any accountability for her actions. Screw apology letters.
Story 1: Losing your children in court because of drug use, kidnapping them, and using them to get free food, that woman is pathetic, and the fact that the daughter was definitely old enough to know that what her mom was doing was wrong, and doing it anyway, just proves that the apple doesn't fall far from the tree
The daughter may not have known that what she was doing was wrong. Very likely, the mother taught her children something like that if they were caught, bad people would punish them. "Police are bad, we have to hide from them" and so forth.
When a dog eats BREAD, it either swells up in his stomach till he throws it up--or knots up in his intestines till he could DIE from blockage. Don't feed ANYONE'S dog bread, ok?
First Google result from the American Kennel club says it's generally fine for dogs to eat bread. Don't start bullshit myths. There was messaging on not feeding hedgehogs bread & milk as it gives them the shits, and not feeding ducks bread (the RSPB says it's fine occasionally ), the problem is when it's done to excess it causes algae and possibly attracts rats. Whether the bread is harmful to rats, I'll leave as an exercise to the reader to fact check.
Last story: Simple rule - if the owner of [whatever] says it's not ok to interact with [whatever], DON'T INTERACT WITH [WHATEVER]! End of story! But Karens will be Karens, and that's why prisons, electric chairs, and baseball bats were invented...
story 4 1,000,000% NOT the a hole WHO KNOWS if the food had EXTRA INGREDIENTS in it like poison he got what he deserved and NOTHING for him and the kids until they learn NEVER FEED STRANGE DOGS!
In the last story there would not be Vet bills but there will be doctors bills when I order my Great Pyrenees and English Mastiff to chase them off or maybe take a little nibble out of the guy.
*Third Story:* Neighbors potentially stealing wi-fi is one reason I had my house turned into a giant Faraday cage. The other, bigger one is that I'm a paranoid b*st*rd because I know how easy it is to hijack wireless networks and devices and pull information out of them without the user knowing. It's made it impossible to use a cell phone or any "smart" tech that relies on wireless signals without a booster in the room but that's just a happy side effect.
About Story 2, honestly I don’t think Phil acted too weird about it, that is exactly how I would be acting in that situation regardless of whether or not I did anything wrong, I’d be losing my sh*t too, and probably having a panic attack on top of that
It would be interesting if Drunk Karen is only a Karen when she reaches a certain level of drunkeness. Imagine you're a normal person and you found out you did *that* while u were drunk? Time to stop drinking! Hope she rises from the Karen ashes as a nice normal stoner or something. I know an experience like that would destroy my psyhe for years, if not my whole life. But I guess that's part of why I don't behave that way?😅 😉
Story 4 - Plus, I wouldn't call her an AH for that as she was asking him to tell his kids to stop feeding HER dogs, not to stop feeding the dogs or the ducks, just her's, which is perfectly reasonable. She doesn't want HER dogs being fed by strangers and that's her right, he and his kid's don't know if they're feeding those dogs something they are allergic to or anything, each animal is different and could have any number of medical issues that could seriously harm or even kill them. NTA
Last story - well, No! OP is not the AH for not sharing the cupcakes with the dad and kid who was feeding OP's dog. OP doesn't have to share with anyone he doesn't want to. OP doesn't need a reason other than ..... he just does not want to. He can be just as selective as he wants to be, even if it's because he wants to be a jerk. There are no rules in the adult world that dictates that if you share with one, you have to share with all. Even in the world of children, there is no hard and fast rule that dictates that a child has to share anything with anyone. I ran up against that bullshit far too many times when my son was a little goomer ....... but that is a whole other story and discussion apart from this story.
We had a lady who used to come into our backyard and feed our dog. She had some story about how her dog liked to visit and play with him, okay whatever. He lived outside because he liked it, and never gained weight because he didn't typically overeat, and I think he was part pointer (which is a very lean breed). So not only did our dog start vomiting up the food she left or leaving it to rot, the lady also constantly left trash from the food in our yard. We got complaints from the city threatening fines if we didn't clean it up (not an HOA, the city). We initially told her she needed to clean up after herself or leave it in his food bowl. That lasted maybe two days? Once we got a second warning from the city my mom told her to stop, and the conversation (over text) got a bit heated. Basically the lady was calling my mom a terrible person for not wanting her to feed our dog and that he was being neglected since he lived outside (she called animal control on us once who inspected his outdoor setup and told us it was one of the best they'd ever seen). We didn't want take him back inside because he was so much happier outside, he would've been a great farm dog. Anyways, the ending to this: my mom was upset and stressed about everything going on with the crazy dog lady, so my dad looked through the texts and decided he was going to respond. The gist of what he sent was "don't you ever talk to my wife that way again, and if we ever catch you or find evidence that you were in our backyard we will trespass you" and fortunately she stopped feeding him
Final story: Ever heard “It takes a village to raise a child”? Well since that jerk wouldn’t control his own kids and teach them respect, it was up to OP to take up the slack and enforce boundaries with those brats.
Feeding the Dog Story: When the man's kids kept following my dogs to feed them despite me telling them to stop, I'd have firmly but gently blocked their hands every time they tried to feed my dogs...while I'm doing that, I'd also be calling the non-emergency Police (Harassment), Animal Control (Animal Abuse) and CPS (Child Endangerment) numbers... Harassment because I've told them to stop feeding my dogs and to stop following us and they keep doing it... Animal Abuse for feeding animals without the Owner's permission - one of these days they're going to give an animal something that's not good for it or it's allergic to and make it sick or kill it... Child Endangerment because he's encouraging his kids to approach unknown animals and that is going to get them hurt one of these days either the animal is going to attack or the Owner is going to hurt them to protect their pet...someone like me for example - you do something that I think (or know) is going to hurt my dog and I'll tell you once to not do that, if you do it anyway, I WILL Bitch-Slap the Unholy, Howling HELL out of you with my metal cane to protect them...whether you're 5 or 50, it makes no difference to me, my Furbaby's Health and Safety is INFINITELY more important to me that you are... 😄😁😆😅😂🤣
Story 4: Who is this Kevin daddy going to blame when the kids get bitten by anyone's dog? You are NOT punishing the children; you are teaching them to respect other people's wishes and requests, even if daddy says that they don't have to.
Story 2: So, I got 3 scenarios with Phil. Either he took to the seas to avoid charges and had a warrant or he is of nationalities where cops are worse than American ones one average, he's of a minority taught by the media to fear cops, or his passport is expired/fake. If the later 3, I can't really blame him.
Story 2: Yeah i don't think DK wrote that apology letter at all. Karens don't apologize. Also i was almost certain OPs "friend" did steal the purse and that's were this story was heading, why was he so scared though if the purse actually was in DK's cabin? Has he stolen something else? Story 4: Yeah no OP is definitely not the a hole and the entitled dad was not only a MAJOR a hole but a danger to the animals there. Not only could he have given something to the other dogs that could harm them but there is a reason that there is a no feeding sign for the ducks, it's not because "wah my ducks, not yours" but because ducks can't properly process bread and could starve from eating it. There is specialized feed for ducks if you really want to feed them but please don't feed them normal bread you can get from the supermarket.
Last story - OP is NTA but that man's kids are gonna approach the wrong dog - or run across one with food aggression and it will all be over. If he doesn't have enough sense to control his kids - as OP pointed that she can do with her dogs - he needs to stop taking them to the dog park entirely. Didn't OP say the man doesn't even own a dog? Surely other dog owners, and whomever is in charge of the ducks and those rules, can bar him from entering!
Big red flag was the fact that the woman pretty Munch sounded like yeah she was a runaway from all the descriptions she gave OP is to her circumstances should've just called the cops right then had his friend called the cops while he was waiting
Story 2: you're right, Karens normally don't apologize, but this was a Karen that was let out of the bottle and once it went back in the bottle she wised up and apologized. But being abundantly embarrassed she couldn't face her victims Last story: kids are being punished also because they needed to learn the same lesson entitled dad had to learn: Never, EVER even approach strange dogs without the owner's specific consent, let alone feed them!! Even if a*hole daddy said it was ok to do...
Last story: Kids did need a lesson taught. "My parent says I can" is not an excuse to violate someone else's boundaries. The Karen across my street tried to pull that and let her kids play on my 41" round tree stump. Kids wouldnt listen cuz "my mommy said I can". Know what else mommy said kids could do? Go outside and pick up a live wire that fell in a wind storm. Thank god that cop was there to stop the 6 year old girl from doing so.
He might have been accused of doing stuff in the past that's a very natural thing to be upset about. I feel totally offended if I'm accused of something that I know for a fact I didn't do.
He wasn't offended/upset, he was afraid "we could go to jail". That's classic first time offender behavior. I don't think hes been arrested before but i do think he has stolen something else on that ship.
On the last story, NTA for OP. The kids are not blameless either. They are learning from their father. So, by extension, the kids also need to learn the hard lesson as well to realize that maybe their Dad isn't right in this situation. The Dad is actually teaching his kids to be "Karens."
The individual that owns the three dogs is not a problem in this story. It’s the man who thinks it is fine to have him and his children poison the dog and the ducks. If that man does, it understands the concept, then he should not be allowed to even come to the dog park
Story 1: One time at a McDonald's I was accidentally given someone else's order. It was a Big Mac with extra sauce. And I can officially confirm that anyone who orders a Big Mac with extra sauce is a monster.
Last Story - OP was doing it wrong. Should have brought extra sugary cupcakes and fed them all to his kids. Get them super pumped up on sugar and maybe some caffeine, then send them home with Dad. See how he likes it when the kids eat too much sugar and stop to puke and poop all over the place!
Last story: Dogs aside, A-hole or not, that food is OPs to distribute as he sees fit. The idiot dog owner and kids have no right to demand some of it; in fact, I would call them the a-holes in this situation for doing so.
Last story -- the scrap feeder is the A hole. He is teaching his children to be disrespectful of others . He could end up poisoning someone's dog. He is feeding scraps which aren't good for dogs. He is being rude and teaching his children to be rude as well. I have a GSD with allergies and a sensitive stomach so I understand OP'S concerns. I'd get the guy banned from the park or at the very least searched before he comes in.
How that one server acted in that cruise story could have resulted in him being fired. He may have been nervous about being arrested, but his outburst to that Karen could have ended badly for him. The guy who kept calm and let the process run its course, knew he didn't take the woman's purse so there was no reason to be anxious even if the police were called. Had she called the police, they would have viewed the security tapes just like the ship security did.
Gah. I took some quail eggs to the local dog park to see if anyone wanted them, but I never fed any to anyone's dog! Oh, wait. I gave one to a dog whose owner specifically gave me permission. You don't feed someone's dog without permission any more than you feed someone's kid without permission. "Here, kid, want a peanut butter sandwich?" Kid: "Yeah!"
If anyone is curious about the amount of food and specificity of the order, the mom was trading food for drugs. I have seen this several times with people helping "homeless" people with a bite to eat. Watched one get arrested by and undercover after trying to trade a 20 piece and fries for a hit.
Story 1 - While this story is bizarre, OP should look on the bright side. He helped rescue those kids from that drug addicted woman who kidnapped her own kids from her ex.

My dog had a very sensitive tummy, and we learned the hard way that even certain brands of dog treats really blew up his system. So I understand that one should ALWAYS ask permission before feeding someone else's animals. You don't want to end up being responsible for making someone else's pet sick, or even killing them. You'd be amazed how expensive some animals are!
My dog is allergic to chicken. She breaks into little zits. She also gets diarrhea...and major gas so bad it lasts for DAYS. I don't like people feeding her cheap treats either...gives her tummy aches.

I know a dog who finds her own treats. People's stashes of weed hidden in bushes. The owner is not on a good income and has had to take her to the vet several times because the poor dog is spacing out.
Story 3 - OP has every right to not give anyone his Wi-Fi password. The neighbor was just a cheap entitled bastard.
Though surprised not a boomer, as he knows a web program that attempted to brute force OP's password, he was able to get away with it with the land lord, OP is 3 parallel universes ahead of his entitled nayber
Not just cheap- also stupid. Could've been legal about it and still saved himself some cash both with the old WiFi and the new one if he'd approached the respective owners to offer to pay the connection halfsies with them. Landlord would've possibly agreed because he wasn't using his internet at all most of the time, and OP has already stated being fine with sharing the connection he got. Especially with business hardware that can prevent a lot of the headaches of someone using up more bandwith than is fair.
@@Josh_the_jesterrute forcing the wifi password? Was op still using wep encryption for his router password?
Most of my fellow boomers are a lot better than that. Most of us can't stand people like that.
Story 2
There are several anxiety conditions that can be triggered by that type of situation. Phil was probably just stressed
I'm autistic, and honest to a fault. Being accused of lying or theft could DEFINITELY cause this sort of anger in me...
Maybe he just experienced more drunks and/or drunk Karen's and this one put him over the edge??
Maybe some citizenship/ visa issues, it's very common with restaurant staff.
Last story: "You're being an vindictive a-hole" My response would have been "Yes, yes I am as I don't like big vet bills or my pets uncontrollably crapping or vomiting on my carpets because some dolt and his crotch goblins wouldn't stop feeding them food they can't handle."
My response would’ve been no I’m not an a***ole I’m a motherf****r and if you want to find out how much of a motherf****r I can be just try me. You say you can’t care what people think about you otherwise they’ll run right over you
I have no problem with it because the kids also need to learn to respect others. It would be different if the parents were feeding the dogs, and OP didn't give cupcakes to the kids, but since it's the kids themselves doing it, this is the best way to teach them how causing trouble for others has consequences.
It’s like the dad actually told the kids to focus on OP and their dogs - repeatedly following them around. The kids still did it and at 7 they have some skill at reading social cues. I know it’s not fun to be excluded they are also not entitled to other people’s food.
And also OP should not allow the person who called them that to get any more treats.
Yeah, if the kids were trying to feed my Shelties, there would be a huge problem, including getting the police involved. It's not Karen behavior to tell someone to stop interfering in your life, and feeding your dogs is interference. Thing is, if my kids were doing that, I would expect the other lady to bring candy and soda for MY kids and when dad told me to stop, I'ld tell him to go get a social life, I can feed his kids anything I want. Lots of Mountain Dew and Chocolate. Skittles. And everything else. It's the same freakin' thing. My dogs are my fur-babies (all my kids are grown, 5 of my 9 grandkids are adults and all but 2 live out of town and I miss all of them) and I lavish lots of love on them, but they are proper treats and done when I'm not going to interfere with anyone else's dog.
And an owner doesn't know if there's not poison in those "treats" the kids are feeding the dogs. Or botulism, which is just as deadly for dogs--left over food might just be tainted.
And...why are those kids at a dog park anyway? If they don't have a dog there, they should be playing elsewhere.😡😤😲
Story 1: that woman is a bit smarter then she looks as she not using her credit or debit card as the police can track a person credit history but her mistake is going to the same restaurant using the same tactic.
Last story, I knew of someone that fed KIDS this way.
Some A-hole that threw hard candy near a highschool, the way you throw crumbs at pigeons. The younger kids had enough sense to not take a stranger's candy from the floor, but the seniors were picking it up like someone busted a piñata. The school staff told the guy multiple times to stop doing that and he would say that he was outside, he can do whatever he wants, he pays taxes, seeing the kids taking the candy made him happy, etc. He also had some sob story, something like he 'promised his dead daughter that he would share candy with kids'. I don't know if he's still doing that.
that is insanely creepy including saying that it was a dead daughter's wish
Odds were he was testing the waters before he decided to lace the candy with something
@@BonniRaven What both entitled a-holes don't understand is that they might have good intentions (says them!) but they're training the dogs/kids to eat stuff without question. Someone else can easily exploit that and do a lot of damage. Neither a-hole cares beyond their instant satisfaction: Someone that really likes dogs doesn't feed them stuff that makes them sick. And someone that really likes kids doesn't encourage roughhousing for candy next to a busy street.
Stay inside the fence, but her right up in his face every time he shows up with his 'candy' and get him on video throwing the candy.
Then used the footage to get him charged for littering
Story 2 - Something about ‘calling the police’ just freaks people out even when they’ve done nothing wrong, and it also didn’t help that the Karen threatened him and OP with ‘losing their jobs’
It’s possible that “Phil” had been wrongly accused of theft in the past, so his skin was thin on that topic. Or he actually had a criminal record, so was wary about another strike.
That doesn’t excuse his intemperate behavior, however. He should have walked to the back to vent, rather than blow his stack.
@@aqacefan That is a possibility.
@@tmntfangirl4700 Also, cruise ships tend to have diverse international employment. With a lot of employees from around the world. Phil could have been from a country where one could be thrown in jail for accusations with little merrit.
A lot of cruise employees have minor criminal history - generally nothing serious but enough that it’s harder for them to find a “normal job”
Phil acted like someone that knew they had a warrant out on them.
Story 3: a co-worker told me that she suspected her neighbor was stealing her internet service. A buddy of mine went over with me and we did the same thing but took it a step further: we captured all the MAC addresses from that neighbor, matched up the device type and then gave her a spreadsheet showing attempt/login times.
She took the information to her landlord and now she has new neighbors.
The last story: I've learned that once my dog notices someone by me, he will not accept any food until they are gone.
Story 2: the fact that Phil was panicking in that situation, leads me to believe that he either hasn't been in this situation before, or has been in it so many time with a manager who isn't as smart as OP's
Exactly. If this had been on land in a pub that isn't as dected out with cameras, both OP and Phil would be in handcuffs until the cops are done searching their belongings and cars if they had one.
Or possibly he has some outstanding warrants...
I personally thought that Phil stole the purse.
Maybe Phil did steal a purse.. Just not that woman’s purse. Hence the panic.
Phil should lose his job when the ship returns to home port.
Last Story: Personally, I’d have taken a large spray bottle filled with water to the dog park with me, and squirted the man and his uncontrollable crotch goblin with it every time they tried to feed my dogs. Vet bills are no joke, and my dogs’ health and welfare are far more important to me than some rando idiots who are intent on doing my dogs harm.

There is a viral video series where the OP's insane Karen of a neighbour was trying to break into their house simply to get their WIFI password and was threatening them and their family. She was seriously scary insane. I think I remember OP saying that the Karen was arrested for attempted breaking and entering, threats of violence and menacing.
Do you happen to have a link or channel name I can look up of the video series?

So that last story, OP is not the a-hole. Also they are not being vindictive, told the child to stop but since their father said it was ok it’s his fault. Now me, I would have found the most sugary candy and highest caffeine soda and been like “here kids”. 😈
While I don't agree with your take on whether OP is being an a-hole and vindictive, as the kids really don't know any better, I definitely agree with your idea of punishing the father. That actually does a much better job at teaching the father the lesson then what OP did.
@@RyujishidaNo. Kids should respect what other adults tell you. If someone says "Please don't feed my dog", you need to listen to them because it isn't your dog. Even if your dad says it's okay, they should have listened when the owner said it wasn't. If I were OP, I would have told the kids that it isn't his dog so he doesn't get to say whether it's okay or not, I do. And since I told you to stop, you need to stop.
@FoxFighter-HellBringer In a perfect world, yes. Sadly, not all adults are to be trusted and respected and any good parent will always have their kids check with them first, before any other adult. Or should the kids just be respecting the adults in the van that give them candy and need help finding their puppy? The kids only know to trust and listen to their parents and it is the parent's job to teach them who and who not to respect.
@@Ryujishida So then OP is doing the job of the parent here by teaching both the child and the parent a lesson here. What if someone said "Don't pet my dog because he might bite you" only for the kid to ignore you and get bitten? Who's at fault? The kid. Same thing here. You were told not to do something and now you get to suffer the consequence.
Always listen to the pet owner! I was buying a muzzle for my 90lb Portuguese Fila, when a little girl maybe 5-6 years old came up yelling “ohhh mommy, I want to pet the pretty doggie!” I’m standing right in front of the muzzles mind you and the mom is go right ahead honey. In a stern voice I said “STOP” loudly while stepping between the little girl and my dog. I said “NO, you don’t pet someone’s dog you don’t know especially when they’re getting a muzzle!” Mom just grabbed her crotch goblin and ran.
Story 2: Who wants to bet that Karen's apology letter was both written and delivered by the same "messenger?"
Story 4: NTA you're being a caring, responsible pet owner, don't apologize for that. Next time give his kids Pixie Stix by the handful. That'll learn him.
Honestly I thought that's where this was going. Like, feed the kids a stomachache's worth of cake even if the guy tries to say that's enough. Throw his words back at him. The whole nine 😂

@@Josh_the_jester lol every group covers things that are the same all the time,
As someone who has anger management issues and severe anxiety when wronged, I kind of understand Phil's rage in this situation. Threatening a person's livelihood is no joke, especially in situations like these, when we know there's a chance the manager might cater to the Karen.
As someone who's been on a bunch of cruises and who has forgotten their purse at the Lido buffet, I think it's possible that Phil might have been from a country where one is guilty until proven innocent. Otherwise, why was he freaking out so? Unless he was afraid that he might be caught for some OTHER crime in the process of investigating Drunk Karen's purse. I left my purse at lunch on a cruise and realized 20 minutes later what I had done. I went back, and one of the waiters told me that the purse had been taken to Guest Services. I went there and got my intact purse back.
@@GoinBand2 Maybe Phil was fired from a previous job (or got written up) because he faced a Karen like that one and the manager sided with the Karen because "the customer is always right". Karens and spineless managers exist everywhere.
Phil might also have trauma with the cops.
If I was in Phil's shoes I'd be crying. I tend to get upset as opposed to getting angry, so to have this lady yelling at me over something I didn't do would have me in tears.
The dog owner that sided with the Entitled Parent should go on the No Cupcakes List as well...
I was thinking just the same "what do you say? You don't want cupcakes either? Got it"
I love that even the neighbor's friend told him to buy his own damn internet connection. Lol!
Story 2 - Sorry, that drunk should have honestly been escorted BACK to her cabin and it checked first for the bag, no where else. The moment she started throwing around litigation and such she should have been told "I'm sorry, but since you have threatened legal action you are going to be asked to pack your bags and get off at the next port of call."
Story 2: I can understand being a bit panicked when you can't find your stuff, but man is this the wrong way to deal with it. What an embarrassment
Ugh... that drunk Karen reminds me of a story with my cousin...
It was New Year's Eve. My cousin (cousin A) and his family, along with another cousin (cousin B), came to spend the night with my family. After the fireworks, cousin B and I went for a walk at the beach with cousin A and his buddies.
By 3 AM, the cousin A and the buddies had had quite a few drinks (I don't drink and cousin B is a minor), while cousin B and I were tired and wanted to go home. I lent cousin A my house's key so he wouldn't wake everyone up when he came back, and made my way home with cousin B. People were still awake by that point, and I explained the situation. We all went to sleep.
By 7 AM, the doorbell rang loudly, waking up the whole house. It was cousin A, wet from the waist down and with sand all over him. Apparently he entered the sea fully clothed and passed out on the sand before finally coming home. When I questioned him later why he didn't use the key, he had the audacity to say that I never gave it to him, and that I was imagining things!
Everyone was pissed at cousin A for waking them up that early and leaving sand all over the house, and after that incident, he was banned from spending New Year with us. Oh, and the key? His mother found it in his wallet YEARS later. He put it there and completely forgot about it. 🤦♂
S2: Here is the thing, if the purse came up missing, they could be held accountable (even if they didn't take it) and I'm willing to bet that Phil has been fked over before, and could push digging into his life that would instantly backfire. Honestly I would demand that the woman be arrested for the harrasment.
Last story.... ED is an AH. OP is definitely NOT the AH.
*Last Story:* OP is clearly NOT THE A-HOLE because...
*_what if the kids had an allergy to certain ingredients in the cupcakes?_*

Last story NTA. Those kids are going to get hurt at some point if they don't learn to ALWAYS check with the owners before interacting with any strange dogs.
Story 3: I have _never_ broadcast my SSID. I'm glad OP eventually turned off broadcasts, but it should have been that way from day one. If nobody knows you're there, they can't be tempted. Also, good call turning on MAC address filtering, but it sounds like he blacklisted the intruder's machine. It's more secure to whitelist only those devices that you specifically want to allow in.
Turning off SSID broadcasting, and MAC address filtering, will only protect you from stupid people
It isn’t hard to get around both of those (beware of devices connected to the hidden WiFi network revealing the existence of the hidden WiFi network)
How do you turn off broadcasts?
@@jessicaash9719 You log onto your access point's configuration page and look at the WiFi section. Depending on the manufacturer, you then select the option to hide the SSID or unselect the option to broadcast it.
How you get access to the config page is dependent on the manufacturer and your service provider. They should have documentation.
I'm glad you pointed out how weird it was for Phil to be so out of control knowing they didn't steal the purse...
He's obviously done some sketchy stuff & doesn't want to be caught or he has warrants....
No, some people just get like that. He may just not deal with stressful situations well.
@Ryujishida that or he was accused of theft that he never done and that accusation got him fired, even though he was proven innocent and the management didn't want to deal with the drama of negative online reviews. Not all restaurants/pubs have cameras on every corner, so the likelihood of theft by employees or other customers(more so by other customers) in "blind spots" can happen.
Ya, or even the hint of police sniffing at him could blow up in his face. The thing is ... Often it doesn't matter if the employee was right or wrong, they get fucked over in the end. What also doesn't help is that the woman wasn't punished for the blatent accusations or threats either.
Story 1: That Entitled Mother shouldn't have had those kids in the first place if she was getting a divorce, what's more, the little girl realized what was going on and obviously didn't want to leave her mother

I can understand Phil freaking out, sometimes police will side with the rich lady freaking out over a theft and not even try to look for the truth.
They wouldn’t side with her as she’s clearly drunk. If anything that would help Phil’s proof of innocence.
How much you want to bet the letter from the drunken cruise Karen was a nonpology?
Most likely written by the friend!
@doctordetroit1217 my thoughts as well...I don't think Karen actually wrote it.
Story 2: A written apology is always better than a verbal one, because it can be filed as evidence. Now if she would on a later date think about getting revenge for the embarrassment, her apology note can be used as some sort of "historical" evidence, as to why OP or Phil or the manager or the restaurant they were working for were her target of any future incident involving the DK. The apology is a written and official document now. Phil needs to understand and accept the process, whether or not that apology was heartfelt or not...
Kinda started to think Phil stole the purse with how he was acting or he has some bad dealings
But it was later found in the cabin where the women were staying and the friend brought it with her.
I was thinking that, too.
@Yumi_Jay yes true it was but for Phil to act that way he had something to hide. Or some past actions for him made him act that way.
Last story, as an ex owner of dogs that had been poisoned by strangers giving them weird meat, im fully on op's side, not everyone sees dogs and thinks puppy, some people will try to poison them out of spite,
Story 2: my guess is that Phil has a record or has had a traumatic interaction with cops (or both).
People with records, even if they've been on the straight-and-narrow for a decade, know they never get the benefit of the doubt.
Or maybe he's just got bad anxiety.
That or he's from a country where you're guilty until proven innocent since cruises hire people from around the world
I lived in an apartment where someone started connecting into my WIFI and making my Internet slow.
So, I used a software so survey the devices connected to the router and identified the unknown devices and I did the next: I never blocked the connection but I limited it to 5 kbps
To me not connection is bad but connecting and not having internet is even worse, after that I made the WIFI invisible and open because I needed it for my old consoles and set the router to only give connection to the authorized Mac addresses I had to manually set. If your device is not on the list, no WIFI for you.
It's 4am here. I'm supposed to sleep as I need to be up at 6am for work. But DarkFluff's pull is so strong that I have to finish the video first. I love you Fluffy ❤
I knew before it reached it's climax that the drucked up booze hound's purse was in her cabin
Story 2 : I know that you should remain calm in that kind of situation, but I don't think Phil is exaggerated. I hate to say this, when you are on accused side, you can't help but worried when people have a doubt about you. Much worse when cops came and starts power tripping on you when it's not even confirmed yet. I know not everyone is like this, but when it happens, it will so much hassle to clean your name on something you didn't do.
Story 4: One of these days , that "Father" and/or his kids are gonna try that with the wrong person's dogs, and that person will slip their dogs some poisoned/medicated sausage or something of that sort to teach them a lesson. Op ain't the Ahole, OP is a saint for trying to correct the children's behavior in such a peaceful way.
Smart too. Non-confrontational.
Story 3: Just get your own Wi-Fi. It's a lot easier than trying to get someone else's Wi-Fi
I would have said to that dog owner he is teaching those children that it's okay to not listen to other people. And they have to understand that there's consequences. If the father's not going to teach him I have to teach them.
Story 4 - the guy doing the "You're a Karen for trying to enforce your boundaries" is a bozo.. the other dog owner should have gotten Karen'd though for trying to side with the ED, as the ED was the main source of the problem
Story 2: Phil seem likes the guy with skeletons in his closet and scared that a false charge could lead to him being caught, like he knows he didn't do anything but if cops found something at his home well looking for a stolen purse that against the law (like illegal drugs) then he be screwed as he avoid thief charges but new ones would get hi in trouble.
Depending on the jurisdiction, officers searching someone's home with a warrant (which has to be specific as to what they're looking for), anything else they discover has to have a separate warrant. Nothing to prevent them from hanging around close by to make it exponentially more difficult to get rid of anything illegal from your home. In any case, he was on a cruise ship, him hiding the purse at home would be nigh impossible while aboard ship. So, the police searching his home would be pointless, and the warrant to search would (or, at least, SHOULD, considering corruption) also be nearly impossible. They would search him and his cabin and that's it.
This is assuming American jurisdiction. If in international waters, the Captain's word is law. If in another country's territory, their laws hold sway.
If the guy is on probation for some previous conviction, then picking up new charges could lead to some unpleasant consequences even if he's ultimately cleared. I've seen a number of courtroom videos where conditions of bond or probation include "don't pick up any new charges".
@@jpolowin0 Having been on probation, I can confirm.
@@ShakaarGaleed I'm with Phil on wanting to rip up that letter. I bet that letter wasn't even written by the Karen, but by her friend that brought it. Karen can't be grown up enough to apologize in person means she doesn't see what she did wrong or doesn't want to face any accountability for her actions. Screw apology letters.
Story 1: Losing your children in court because of drug use, kidnapping them, and using them to get free food, that woman is pathetic, and the fact that the daughter was definitely old enough to know that what her mom was doing was wrong, and doing it anyway, just proves that the apple doesn't fall far from the tree
The daughter may not have known that what she was doing was wrong. Very likely, the mother taught her children something like that if they were caught, bad people would punish them. "Police are bad, we have to hide from them" and so forth.
Story 4, the only a holes are the entitled dad and his kids
And he had the nerve to call OPa Karen!
When a dog eats BREAD, it either swells up in his stomach till he throws it up--or knots up in his intestines till he could DIE from blockage. Don't feed ANYONE'S dog bread, ok?
First Google result from the American Kennel club says it's generally fine for dogs to eat bread. Don't start bullshit myths. There was messaging on not feeding hedgehogs bread & milk as it gives them the shits, and not feeding ducks bread (the RSPB says it's fine occasionally ), the problem is when it's done to excess it causes algae and possibly attracts rats. Whether the bread is harmful to rats, I'll leave as an exercise to the reader to fact check.

*Third Story:* Neighbors potentially stealing wi-fi is one reason I had my house turned into a giant Faraday cage. The other, bigger one is that I'm a paranoid b*st*rd because I know how easy it is to hijack wireless networks and devices and pull information out of them without the user knowing. It's made it impossible to use a cell phone or any "smart" tech that relies on wireless signals without a booster in the room but that's just a happy side effect.
On the last story, op you're NOT the butthole.
About Story 2, honestly I don’t think Phil acted too weird about it, that is exactly how I would be acting in that situation regardless of whether or not I did anything wrong, I’d be losing my sh*t too, and probably having a panic attack on top of that
It would be interesting if Drunk Karen is only a Karen when she reaches a certain level of drunkeness. Imagine you're a normal person and you found out you did *that* while u were drunk? Time to stop drinking! Hope she rises from the Karen ashes as a nice normal stoner or something. I know an experience like that would destroy my psyhe for years, if not my whole life. But I guess that's part of why I don't behave that way?😅 😉
Story 4 - Plus, I wouldn't call her an AH for that as she was asking him to tell his kids to stop feeding HER dogs, not to stop feeding the dogs or the ducks, just her's, which is perfectly reasonable. She doesn't want HER dogs being fed by strangers and that's her right, he and his kid's don't know if they're feeding those dogs something they are allergic to or anything, each animal is different and could have any number of medical issues that could seriously harm or even kill them. NTA
Last story - well, No! OP is not the AH for not sharing the cupcakes with the dad and kid who was feeding OP's dog. OP doesn't have to share with anyone he doesn't want to. OP doesn't need a reason other than ..... he just does not want to. He can be just as selective as he wants to be, even if it's because he wants to be a jerk. There are no rules in the adult world that dictates that if you share with one, you have to share with all. Even in the world of children, there is no hard and fast rule that dictates that a child has to share anything with anyone. I ran up against that bullshit far too many times when my son was a little goomer ....... but that is a whole other story and discussion apart from this story.
We had a lady who used to come into our backyard and feed our dog. She had some story about how her dog liked to visit and play with him, okay whatever. He lived outside because he liked it, and never gained weight because he didn't typically overeat, and I think he was part pointer (which is a very lean breed). So not only did our dog start vomiting up the food she left or leaving it to rot, the lady also constantly left trash from the food in our yard. We got complaints from the city threatening fines if we didn't clean it up (not an HOA, the city). We initially told her she needed to clean up after herself or leave it in his food bowl. That lasted maybe two days? Once we got a second warning from the city my mom told her to stop, and the conversation (over text) got a bit heated. Basically the lady was calling my mom a terrible person for not wanting her to feed our dog and that he was being neglected since he lived outside (she called animal control on us once who inspected his outdoor setup and told us it was one of the best they'd ever seen). We didn't want take him back inside because he was so much happier outside, he would've been a great farm dog.
Anyways, the ending to this: my mom was upset and stressed about everything going on with the crazy dog lady, so my dad looked through the texts and decided he was going to respond. The gist of what he sent was "don't you ever talk to my wife that way again, and if we ever catch you or find evidence that you were in our backyard we will trespass you" and fortunately she stopped feeding him
Final story: Ever heard “It takes a village to raise a child”? Well since that jerk wouldn’t control his own kids and teach them respect, it was up to OP to take up the slack and enforce boundaries with those brats.
Feeding the Dog Story: When the man's kids kept following my dogs to feed them despite me telling them to stop, I'd have firmly but gently blocked their hands every time they tried to feed my dogs...while I'm doing that, I'd also be calling the non-emergency Police (Harassment), Animal Control (Animal Abuse) and CPS (Child Endangerment) numbers...
Harassment because I've told them to stop feeding my dogs and to stop following us and they keep doing it...
Animal Abuse for feeding animals without the Owner's permission - one of these days they're going to give an animal something that's not good for it or it's allergic to and make it sick or kill it...
Child Endangerment because he's encouraging his kids to approach unknown animals and that is going to get them hurt one of these days either the animal is going to attack or the Owner is going to hurt them to protect their pet...someone like me for example - you do something that I think (or know) is going to hurt my dog and I'll tell you once to not do that, if you do it anyway, I WILL Bitch-Slap the Unholy, Howling HELL out of you with my metal cane to protect them...whether you're 5 or 50, it makes no difference to me, my Furbaby's Health and Safety is INFINITELY more important to me that you are...
😄😁😆😅😂🤣
Phil probably had a warrant in the area--and Karen's FRIEND probably wrote the apology.
Story 4: Who is this Kevin daddy going to blame when the kids get bitten by anyone's dog?
You are NOT punishing the children; you are teaching them to respect other people's wishes and requests, even if daddy says that they don't have to.
Last story. Bread is bad for ducks too. It literally causes a condition that makes them unable to fly.
16:21 - OP should just go along with the idea that he no longer has WiFi, so the neighbor will leave him alone.
I honesty thought it might turn out that Phil actually stole the purse
Story 2: So, I got 3 scenarios with Phil. Either he took to the seas to avoid charges and had a warrant or he is of nationalities where cops are worse than American ones one average, he's of a minority taught by the media to fear cops, or his passport is expired/fake.
If the later 3, I can't really blame him.
Story 2: Yeah i don't think DK wrote that apology letter at all. Karens don't apologize. Also i was almost certain OPs "friend" did steal the purse and that's were this story was heading, why was he so scared though if the purse actually was in DK's cabin? Has he stolen something else?
Story 4: Yeah no OP is definitely not the a hole and the entitled dad was not only a MAJOR a hole but a danger to the animals there. Not only could he have given something to the other dogs that could harm them but there is a reason that there is a no feeding sign for the ducks, it's not because "wah my ducks, not yours" but because ducks can't properly process bread and could starve from eating it. There is specialized feed for ducks if you really want to feed them but please don't feed them normal bread you can get from the supermarket.
Last story - OP is NTA but that man's kids are gonna approach the wrong dog - or run across one with food aggression and it will all be over. If he doesn't have enough sense to control his kids - as OP pointed that she can do with her dogs - he needs to stop taking them to the dog park entirely. Didn't OP say the man doesn't even own a dog? Surely other dog owners, and whomever is in charge of the ducks and those rules, can bar him from entering!
🤬🤬🤬
*Oh hell no! Do NOT EVER mess with my Pittie!*
*You mess with my dog, you mess with ME!*
*NOPE.. OP is definitely NOT THE A-HOLE!*
Story 4: Definitely not the AH! Not vindictive at all those kids need to learn boundaries.
Big red flag was the fact that the woman pretty Munch sounded like yeah she was a runaway from all the descriptions she gave OP is to her circumstances should've just called the cops right then had his friend called the cops while he was waiting
OP is not the Ahole, they said to leave their dogs alone and the kids kept feeding them, actions have consequences.
Story 2: you're right, Karens normally don't apologize, but this was a Karen that was let out of the bottle and once it went back in the bottle she wised up and apologized. But being abundantly embarrassed she couldn't face her victims
Last story: kids are being punished also because they needed to learn the same lesson entitled dad had to learn: Never, EVER even approach strange dogs without the owner's specific consent, let alone feed them!! Even if a*hole daddy said it was ok to do...
Story #2: That's a great manager. Also I personally will be as emotional as Phil.
🎵 Yay it's fluff time it's fluff time it's fluff time it's fluff time the work day is coming to an end 🎶
Story 4: he should have said “no treats for you too” and stop giving him treats!😂
Story 2. Im pretty sure the friend wrote the apology letter. I seriously doubt the karen would.
Last story: Kids did need a lesson taught. "My parent says I can" is not an excuse to violate someone else's boundaries. The Karen across my street tried to pull that and let her kids play on my 41" round tree stump. Kids wouldnt listen cuz "my mommy said I can". Know what else mommy said kids could do? Go outside and pick up a live wire that fell in a wind storm. Thank god that cop was there to stop the 6 year old girl from doing so.
Last story, parent wouldn't teach the kids basic manners so op taught them. I agree nta
He might have been accused of doing stuff in the past that's a very natural thing to be upset about. I feel totally offended if I'm accused of something that I know for a fact I didn't do.
He wasn't offended/upset, he was afraid "we could go to jail". That's classic first time offender behavior. I don't think hes been arrested before but i do think he has stolen something else on that ship.
On the last story, NTA for OP. The kids are not blameless either. They are learning from their father. So, by extension, the kids also need to learn the hard lesson as well to realize that maybe their Dad isn't right in this situation. The Dad is actually teaching his kids to be "Karens."
Man, imagine a Karen calling someone else a Karen. Wild. He has no self-awareness.
Story 2 - Phil probably has a warrant somewhere
The individual that owns the three dogs is not a problem in this story. It’s the man who thinks it is fine to have him and his children poison the dog and the ducks.
If that man does, it understands the concept, then he should not be allowed to even come to the dog park
Story 1: One time at a McDonald's I was accidentally given someone else's order. It was a Big Mac with extra sauce. And I can officially confirm that anyone who orders a Big Mac with extra sauce is a monster.
Last Story - OP was doing it wrong. Should have brought extra sugary cupcakes and fed them all to his kids. Get them super pumped up on sugar and maybe some caffeine, then send them home with Dad. See how he likes it when the kids eat too much sugar and stop to puke and poop all over the place!
Op Number 4 - that method was genius! 👏👏👏
Last story: Dogs aside, A-hole or not, that food is OPs to distribute as he sees fit. The idiot dog owner and kids have no right to demand some of it; in fact, I would call them the a-holes in this situation for doing so.
Last story -- the scrap feeder is the A hole. He is teaching his children to be disrespectful of others . He could end up poisoning someone's dog. He is feeding scraps which aren't good for dogs. He is being rude and teaching his children to be rude as well. I have a GSD with allergies and a sensitive stomach so I understand OP'S concerns. I'd get the guy banned from the park or at the very least searched before he comes in.
Makes me wonder if he's trying to hurt the other dogs ON PURPOSE! He sounds like a nutjob!
"Karens never apologize"
Fluff got confused by the Karen label applied by the barman, lady was just your garden variety belligerent drunk.
It took one time to learn that sharing my internet is a bad idea. The second time I was asked I said NO!
Story 2: ngl I almost thought that Phil did steal the purse based on his response
How that one server acted in that cruise story could have resulted in him being fired. He may have been nervous about being arrested, but his outburst to that Karen could have ended badly for him.
The guy who kept calm and let the process run its course, knew he didn't take the woman's purse so there was no reason to be anxious even if the police were called. Had she called the police, they would have viewed the security tapes just like the ship security did.
Story 4, the dog owner found a new toilet area for their dogs upset stomachs... that familys front lawn
Drunk Karen: "That man called me a B***H!!"
Me: "Well....have you tried NOT being a b***h?"
Gah. I took some quail eggs to the local dog park to see if anyone wanted them, but I never fed any to anyone's dog! Oh, wait. I gave one to a dog whose owner specifically gave me permission. You don't feed someone's dog without permission any more than you feed someone's kid without permission. "Here, kid, want a peanut butter sandwich?" Kid: "Yeah!"
20:33 ALWAYS ask permission before interacting with someone's dog.
If anyone is curious about the amount of food and specificity of the order, the mom was trading food for drugs. I have seen this several times with people helping "homeless" people with a bite to eat. Watched one get arrested by and undercover after trying to trade a 20 piece and fries for a hit.
