Hahaha, the manager calling out "it's always your prerogative to waste even more money" is the best part.
Second story...where a reply mentioned about handing out penalty charges.
Don't park there !
This was some years ago.
I came home from work one evening in a bit of a hurry as my wife and I were due to go out, parked the car in the driveway and shot inside to get washed and dressed up...as you do.
When we came out some moron had parked his car right across our driveway, now in the UK if you have a dropped curb it's illegal to park across someone's driveway, I went knocking on the doors of the houses 2 or 3 either side...no one knew who's car it was, so last minute I grabbed the phone and got a taxi.
Fast forward a few weeks...my wife and I had been out to a exhibition the pro photo lab I worked for had put on. We returned home around 1.00 AM...only to find the same car...this time parked IN our driveway!
So I parked the car across the driveway, went inside, had a cup of tea...and went to bed.
It's just gone 3.00 AM in the morning ( I kid you not !), there's a thunderous banging on the front door...I shoot out of bed and run down stairs wondering what the hell was going on, on opening the door there's a red faced guy complaining that I'm parked across the driveway...MY driveway, and he couldn't get HIS car out.
So I ( somewhat less than politely ) tell him since he parked across the driveway a few weeks ago...and illegally at that, he could do what we had to do that night...get a bloody taxi !
Grumble grumble moan moan, all about how he lived on the south coast (about 70 or so miles away ) and 'that would cost a fortune and he wasn't going to do THAT !
'Tough...so walk it instead'! He then threatened to call the police, so I told him to go ahead. Now keep in mind mobile phones had hardly been heard of in those days...he froze, then he DEMANDED to use my house phone.
Nope...nope...NOPE!...not happening. 'There's a public phone box down by the pub...use that'. ( That's a good ten minutes walk away ). Then I'm off back to bed.
I'd just dozed of when...the doorbell goes...sigh. I get up again and when I open the door there's the same guy...and two policemen...he'd ACTUALLY called the cops. So I explain the situation and they nod understandingly...then ask If I'd mind moving my car so this (ahem) 'Gentleman' can get his car out.
“Nope, sorry I can't”.
Guy SCREAMS 'Why NOT'!!?
I looked at the cops...'Since he came round the first time I've had a drink or two...I was a bit stressed out you see'. Cop has a little smile on his face...he can't smell booze on me.
'Well would you allow him to move your car for you'?
'WHAT!...NO! He's not insured to drive it'!
He got told to find his own way home and come back to collect his car.
You might think that was the end of it...HAH! Not finished yet ;-)
After that I put signs on posts either side of the front of the driveway...and either side of the driveway itself and one right at the back ( assuming they drove in and didn't reverse in it would be impossible to miss it ). Stating that this was a private driveway and that anybody parking there would need to pay a £50.00 fee for it to be released...and that was per DAY, OR PART THEREOF that it was there. That was a lot of money in those days.
Fast forward about 6 weeks or so...we come home from work...and guess who's parked on my driveway...again!
Yup...same moron.
So I do the same as last time and park across the driveway.
Same thing again...around 2.30 - 3.00 AM he's banging on my door.
I go down, open the door and in a voice colder than the arctic say 'Yes'?
'You need to move your car so I can get mine out'!
I lean forward and down a bit ( I'm 6 feet 3 inches tall and pretty well built ).
I take a slow breath and say. 'See those signs there? When you pay the parking penalty I'll move my car...not until'. 'You can't do that....that's extortion'!
'It's 100% legal...I CHECKED, so tough luck...so pay up or bugger off''.
He called the police again...and...the same two cops turn out again.
We go through the same procedure ALL. OVER. AGAIN. and he gets told it's perfectly legal, and the gentleman ( me ) was perfectly entitled to do it.
So he had to get a taxi back home to the south coast, then got a friend to drive him back the next day. I'm day off that day...so handy that. He turned up and held out £50.00. 'Where's the other £50.00'? 'WHAT !!!! 'Go read the sign again'.
His friend loaned him the other £50.00...I moved my car...and he drove away...flipping me off as he did so.
That night I took my wife out for a slap up meal...to a restaurant I've used for years...I was chatting to the owner of the restaurant and some of the other customers that I know...and guess who walks in? One of the two cops with his wife. He saw me and came over and asked how it had all played out in the end.
So I sat and went through the whole story, with a restaurant full of people hanging onto every word...and screaming with laughter. When it came time to pay for the meal the boss of the restaurant flatly refused to take a penny, saying it was the best laugh he'd had in years!
One would think he'd learned after the first taxi trip... XD
Love the story, hate to be that guy
@@SonsOfLorgar Some people NEVER learn !
How long ago was this? Think highway codes been updated since then. It's not a civil not criminal offense to park on dropped curb or double yellows and you can get in trouble for blocking someone's access to the highway, i.e. but blocking them in...
The fine though. Definitely can if they are parked on your land but not the public highway.
@@ffyrestarr That was around the early 90's...92 I think.
I was let go from a managerial position because hiring someone else would be cheaper. During my time there I had created lots of forms & things that made it easier on the staff to complete their documentation. Everything I needed to do this, I paid for with my own money. On my last day I erased all of the files that I'd created and left no copies. A few days later, I got a call from the new manager asking if I could send them copies of my programs. I said no & wished them luck getting the staff to complete their documentation. She didn't last 3 months.😈
You are 1 of my heroes. I'm 66 and it seems all my new heroes are young enough to be my offspring. I'm so proud of them all!
That's an epic 'fuck around and find out' moment XD
wait i dont get it wdym "I said no & wished them luck getting the staff to complete their documentation" ;c;
I'd say "Sure you can have it. License fee is roughly my last salary."
@@jumpyyjasminee5315 Basically, because the person got fired after spending their own resources making forms and documentations easier for everyone, it's their intellectual property. Thus, if they want access to it, they'd have to pay Darnia. Since they said no, they'd have no choice but to make up a new system.
The OP who got the million bucks. Good on him for getting the 1.8 million bucks from an idiot boss who screwed him.
I thought the same thing. They had a written contract that said he'd give them 20% and he reneged on that. I don't actually believe the guy keeping the other money was a crime at that point.
@@AngelaVEdwards like you said they had a written agreement. If OP kept their share and the owner sued then OP could just bring up the signed document and it'd most likely just get thrown out of court.
He had control. He let himself be screwed. Then he stole to make up for his own weakness in allowing himself to be taken advantave of.
@@croach2194 0/10 trollbait
Boss reneged on his original contract then made a new verbal agreement that OP held to. Sounds on the up and up to me.
First story - Not only is the tie down bad, but if the customer plugged in the fridge immediately after unloading it, he likely would have destroyed the compressor. Fridges ALWAYS need to be kept upright. If you =do= have to lay one down for more than a few minutes, you should wait at least 24 hours before plugging it in; 48 is even better.
I believe I've heard that story before where OP did warn the man about laying it down. Plus saying it needed to be stood up for a while before plugging it in.
I never knew that. Thanks for the info.😃
That's in the instruction manual isn't it? It's been that way in every fridge and A/C unit I've ever bought at least.
Yeah I used to work receiving and that's the first rule I was given. No loading in fridges laying down!
It's in every manual. But standing it upright disconnected for 24h isn't that big of a deal. My fridge has survived being transported in it's back for almost 20 years now ...
Here in Anchorage, there are a couple stores that have the policy that "The customer is always right, except when they're WRONG." Yes, an emphasis on wrong. I had the pleasure of working at one of these little local stores when I was young and was always happy when I could exercise this. basically a really polite "you're a moron gtfo" but, not in those exact words. If they continued their BS, I got to escort them out personally. I even got the "Haven't you ever heard that the costumer is always right?" Me: "Yes. Except when they're wrong."
A malicious compliance is literally the phrase "it's your funeral."
3rd story... you don't care about safety, I would agree that is an immediate fire. Good on her grandfather knowing the person wouldn't go quietly without persuasion.
I know right? I’d personally be delighted to spend a few full shifts doing nothing but watching safety videos. It’s easy money and it’ll teach me how not to get myself killed.
For example my cleaning job. Due to the nature of where I work we have some dangerous chemicals. Including one where if you dissolve it in hot water instead of cold water it would release a butt ton of chlorine gas!
Safely at certain jobs is no joke.
Love that 1st Reddit story, proving that saying the phrase, "the customer is always right", might backfire onto any dumb, entitled customer completely!! Sheer gold!!
My ex worked at Sears. They normally kissed the customer's lying dupas.
Come to think about it. that could be why they're allegedly going bankrupt.
“The customer is always right” shtick is such a toxic notion, and I hated it (I used to work at Walmart). It essentially gives them the idea that they can just walk all over the workers.
Remember the full saying is "The Customer is always right *in matters of taste*". It was never meant to be applicable to everything
@@ShadowEclipse777 That's true.
The original saying was actually “the customer is king”
If he did try and sue.
He would have to explain that he had an UNSECURED LOAD, that he himself done.
So not only will he lose in court, but since he admitted to an UNSECURED LOAD, the cops can use that as evidence to hand out some big ass fines.
Idiot could have final destinationed someone!!!!
The guy pitching a hissy fit over the safety training, he said it himself. "Little girl". He's one of those guys who cant stand to work under a woman. They refuse to take orders from a woman. There are a lot of women bosses these days so they have to suck it up or starve.
Even as a man, I don't want to work besides a dangerous bigoted asshole like that. Sooner or later, they would likely cause a debilitating or fatal incident, and probably to someone other than themselves through active neglect and deliberate ignorance.
Shitstains like that deserve worse than starving out.
The bloke sounds like my FIL = hates women in charge
Idiot:"YOU AIN'T FIRING ME, GIRLY!"
Grandpa:"Listen, fella, either she fires you or I"fire" you.. "
"I'm not telling you how to do your job... because as of right now, you don't have a job. Now, GIT! Before we have just cause to invoke the Castle Doctrine." (It does apply to a business in Texas.)
In the UK, if you contract with a tow company and put up signs, the car can be towed legally.
@@maggiemae9099 Omg that sucks. The tow company in the UK will not release the car until the owner pays.
My house has those signs because it's on a council estate, so they will GLADLY tow a car.
That sucks that you have to pay for it though, in the US, it's at the vehicle owner's expense
It was worth the effort to work with my landlord to get signs put up and get an agreement with the tow company. Since my landlord and I agreed to go halfs on towing fees (and it was put into the tenancy agreement) it wouldn’t be that bad.
That being said I’ve never seen or heard of anyone being towed away because usually parking is respected in the UK and the signs are usually a sufficient deterrent.
It’s double yellow lines (no parking unless it’s an emergency) that few people obey, especially if they’re only going to be a few minutes but even then the driver seems to always make sure they aren’t blocking anything.
The UK does seem to have an unspoken etiquette as well as laws. It’s interesting.
@@mikoto7693 where in the UK are you?! In Brum, it is an issue
The last story sounds like a case of nepotism. Get rid of existing staff to hire my buddies. Nepotism is never a good business move. Hiring because of a relationship over someone actually qualified to do the job is a recipe for failure.
I disagree with nepotism here is why. I worked for my mom for many years. For some messed up reason, she stopped taking my w2 forms. In hindsight, i should have made sure she wasnt throwing them away and i should have looked for work elsewhere. But i had NO Idea she was screwing me over
You put perfectly. "The customer is always right except when they're not."
Working in retail teaches you that.
The customer isn't always right, but they are always the customer.
Yup. But even when they're not right, and even when you cover yourself and follow everything, the higher ups will STILL come down on you for being the one to handle a non-returning customer.
the customer is always right IN MATTERS OF TASTE. that means you sell what they want to buy.
thats IT. no more, no less.
From years of fast food and retail I know The customer is usually..stupid
In the store where I worked years ago the phrase whispered amongst the staff-including managers was “the customer is usually wrong.”
Though despite working six years on checkouts and four in dairy I didn’t really face any real abuse except for a shoplifter I caught red-handed.
1.8 million. Both accounts were in his name. Good for him. The thief of an owner got what he wanted. OP got what he deserved.
When a thief steals from a thief, who is the victim here?
But seriously, if the boss wrote off that his interest was repaid and was satisfied with his gains, the OP is …. Well, I wouldn’t say innocent but certainly on stable footing
I would sue the hell out of that management company for costing me $100k rather than increasing profits. First, they have no power to fire employees without permission from the CEO (or whatever the head of the company is called). Second, you don't increase profits by firing everyone as you still have to have staff and they have to be trained, all of which COST MONEY. Third, the management company had no fucking clue what they were doing! I can't imagine why the management of the company thought that management company was a good choice. There is no way the management company had a good reputation if the first they do to improve profits is to fire everyone!
My guess is that the former employees were making decent wages and had good benefits, and they wanted to get rid of them so they could hire cheaper labor with crappy or no benefits. Penny-wise and pound-foolish, as they say.
This is why many stores in Canada including HomeDepot will help you load but will NOT help you tie anything up. prevents customers from blaming the store for them screwing up and not strapping there load down right. Also if the fridge is on the highway, call the cops. they may want to know who tossed and left a fridge there especially if it was in the middle of the road.
As someone who works as a guard for a lumber yard and appliance store I can confirm you get gripping manchildren and people leaving with severely compromising looking loads but, as I can get sued for telling someone how to properly tie it down and im wrong, I just stifle a laugh and let them go with their crappy tie downs!
i dont get paid to make sure the load is secure. Carry out. i load your vehicle how you want it. Not allowed to help tie stuff down. though me and a fellow carry made an exception for an elderly gentleman who only had one good hand
Heh, I’m reminded of a time when I was driving home one evening (about 17:30) and I ended up driving behind a badly overloaded car. Every inch that wasn’t the driver seat was packed with items. Looked like construction equipment and ingredients. My best guess was that the driver was doing a bit of DIY at home on some project.
Anyway my only concern was the large cardboard box sticking out of the back of the boot/trunk. From what little I could see from the picture and writing on the cardboard box I’m fairly sure it was a fridge, freezer or one of those both in one unit things.
The boot/trunk door was open due to the box being too large to fit. Instead it was only partially closed with lengths of cord tying it down as far as the box allowed. The box itself wasn’t tied down but the lengths of cord stopped it sliding out.
And I didn’t really like the look of it. At first it seemed secure enough but I had an uncomfortable knot in the pit of my stomach. So I deliberately slowed a bit and expanded the stopping distance between us.
As you’ve probably guessed by now but those cords didn’t hold. After maybe just over five minutes or so cord snapped and flew around wildly because it had been tied under tension. Then the box tumbles free into the road ahead of me along with a sizeable amount of other items. I had to stop and put on my hazard lights while I called the police due to the obstruction now in the road. Job done I rolled down my window and told the driver the police were on their way. I then waited until there was a gas in traffic coming the opposite way and used it to get around the car and the mess. I didn’t stick around because I’d had a long tiring day at work and just wanted to go home, get something to eat and go veg out in front of me tv.
Story with the OP trading with his boss-s cash? Nope. The boss would have paid those capital gains because it was documented that the money was not OP's. That's how Traders work. They don't pay cap gains - the person on whose behalf they're trading on pays cap gains. Shady? Hell Yeah! Satisfying? Bigger Hell Yeah!
shady malicious compliance is funny
Does anyone know what OP means in this context?
I never would have told him the full balance. "Oh give me a bit to go through it all and I'll get back to you. *couple minutes later* "you are currently looking at 230k" 'ok well go ahead and wire that over to me' "oh ok, i was going keep trying to turn more trades but don't forget about market taxes" and just not send him the million. Only ever tell him HIS part of the gain, and each time he gets his money you take yours into your own account (improving your personal gains), but he pays all tax. If he ever questions how you keep having tiny amounts of money to give him "oh it's because i always have some trades in progress, so there is unavailable funds. That way it continues to make more money, even if you take everything else." In reality you just never let it drop below that milion.
@@archieindoorschallis2885
Original Poster, OP just means whoever wrote/tells the story.
Yeah, if the paperwork at the start is done correctly, and with that much money involved it absolutely would be, the taxes would be fine... except that this also means that the boss would have gotten tax paperwork showing all the capital gains for all of that account, letting him know how much he should have gotten. Of course, he could have just had an accountant do the taxes and signed off on it without reviewing it personally, and people in business for a long time with the same accountant might trust enough to have that happen.
"Man, Frank, that was a great job on your investments last year."
"Thanks, Bob. I had an employee do some for me and it really worked out."
And not a word was said about numbers that day.
re 'safety training by a 17 yo girl' - reminds me of when my family bought some farm/timber property, I was about 15 yo. We had been having problems with hunters. Heard shots, rode horses up toward noise, Dad yelling to stop shooting, he may also have fired his .44 magnum to be sure they heard. I took a different trail, quietly, that took me to otherside of hunters that Dad was arguing with about our hunting policy - ie No trespassing without permission so we could make sure only 1 hunting party on property at a time, and to let them know which fields to avoid because of our livestock. As the frustrated hunters turned to leave, they practically bumped into my horse & eyes got big when they saw .357 on my hip. Needless to say we didn't see or hear from them again. lol.
if he purposefully waited until the statute of limitations expired to brag about his story, that's essentially admitting what he did was illegal.
Yeah, and...?
No that's saying it may have been illegal but, you were not sure.
Illegal? Yes. Immoral? eh...
Technically not illegal as the owner rescinded the old contract (20% of profits) and made a new verbal agreement (Return all current profits keep the currently active options as payment). If the boss somehow understood that dynamic his only option to fight it would be to deny the verbal agreement in which case he would still have to pay OP 430K.
Waiting until after the statute of limitations was probably ust OP covering his basses as he didn't want to bother with possible lawsuits
If I had a big driveway and I had an entitled prick, like that I call any of my friends and family nearby that need a place to store their extra vehicles in the spots that are extra. Maybe charge a case of beer a month for payment.
Totally screwed up law that lets some random A-hole park on someone else's private property, and cannot be towed? Luckily we have saner laws here. We in the US absolutely can have them towed. And the right tow driver, for a case of beer, will tow that offending car pretty far away, at owner's expense.
Extra spaces or not, my driveway is not there for public parking. Anything that gets damaged on my property will effect my insurance, because I'll get stuck with fixing it. I'd do exactly what that guy did, and make it impossible for that jerk to park on my property. Maybe the previous owner let him do it just to shut him up, but bullies need to be put in their place.
@@lancerevell5979 In the UK, the only solution to that problem is blocking the entrance of the driveway, for example by installing a gate with lock and key, so that no-one unauthorized can park their car there. If they break the lock, it's no longer trespassing, but breaking and entering.
@@florian8599 that sucks. If I had a huge driveway and my neighbor said "hey, can I park in your driveway a while?" If they're a nice neighbor amd I don't really need all the room. I'd let them for a case of beer. But to just impose yourself and say "deal with it" and op has no real legal recourse, that is so stupid.
Actually it’s not as bad as that. Actually you can get cars towed away but you have to consciously do a couple of things first.
Firstly you must put up a few signs that the car park/space is private and only, say, residents or the tenant may park there. Cars that park without permission will be towed away. (I’ve seen carpark signs that threaten £100 fines and/or clamping with a release fee.)
You also need an agreement with a towing company but I don’t think that’s hard to accomplish. Add the tow company’s name, number and email to the signs so drivers who have their car towed can talk to them about getting the car back. Finally making sure your signs are very visible to people.
At this point if someone does park their car on your driveway/parking area you’re then entitled to have it towed away though you would pay the removal yourself.
The good news is that towing companies charge a fairly sizeable release fee plus they charge the owner for every day that the car is stored with them.
Of course there is always the option to physically block access to the driveway when not in use such as gates or moveable bollards. I know one neighbour who has a large metal bollard in the middle of the entry to his parking spot. It kinda fits into a purpose made hole in the driveway and padlocks in place when held vertical. No car can fit around it. But it can also be padlocked in the horizontal position allowing him to move his car in and out.
So, there are ways to stop idiots parking in your place, you just have to think and plan a bit.
He acknowledged that what he did with the money was dishonest. But sometimes being a thieving asshole pays dividends. Morals be damned, I'm happy for his gains.
The last story about the board of directors hiring a "management" company reminds me of a story back in the 1960's in Fortune magazine. It was a long time ago but I remember something about the liability faced by members of boards of directors when they don't do their jobs properly.
You got the management saying wrong: "if it ain't broke, fix it, till it is."
guys don't worry, I got stevo a sledgehammer for a gift so that when he gets out with melissa whitman's lockpick kit, he can knock out fluff to have a chance to escape for good
Maybe Stevo shows up on Reddit telling his Stories while Fluff kept him hidden.
I cannot believe this guy wants a refund for a refrigerator he destroy himself
story 1... I don't like to use the twine... I'd pull out a ratchet strap and use that instead. But if I was picking up a fridge, I would have removed the stuff from the bed of my truck first!
I know, that was so stupid. Should have cleaned out the bed and removed the cover. Shouldn't lay down a refrigerator anyway.
That makes you smarter than many customers I've dealt with. Many times they won't have any room cleared for what they're picking up, or their vehicle is comically too small. Like fitting a large patio table into a small mid-sized car, or a pool into the trunk of a Dodge Charger, or a 70 inch TV into some 80's era compact hatchback. I don't know what's worst, that maybe they thought these options would work or that people are impulse buying these large expensive things.
@@AdmiralBlackstar if I'm moving furniture, I'm renting a bloody trailer or moving van fit for the job.
A couple of dozen euros on that rent on top of a piece of furniture or appliance already in the hundreds of euro range is peanuts.
the second story is why the laws in england suck as far as private property is concerned
6:38 that’s a stupid law if I see anyone I don’t know going on my driveway I won’t hesitate to cheff them in the face
Story 4. The guy was young and still saw that tech bubble burst coming. I burst out laughing. That downturn after y2k not only lost me my current job but two years later I still had not one single interview. I did a little consulting but mostly lived off my parents' investments. Finally we all decided I would go back to school since I couldn't work. That was the hardest period of my technical professional life.
In the UK you can get a vehicle towed, if it's illegally parked in your driveway, BUT they can try to sue you for doing so. No one really does it though as British courts hate when it's petty neighbour squabbles and it might go badly for you because the judge is annoyed at the waste of time. However if they have parked over or blocking your driveway, while they are still on the public road. You can call the police to have them towed.
To me this sounds like you have to gate your driveway and not beat other people up...
Story 1: “the customer is ALWAYS right”
My extra input on the quote: “ but the information they currently have is incorrect”
Edit: so if you work in retail or you hear someone say this BULLS*IT LINE!!! Add that in and tell me the response. Because my mom laughs😁
The version we used back when I was in retail was. “The customer is usually wrong.”
The customer is always right. Until he pays and leaves.
On that story the first one I think it is, they need to change that law. If you park on somebody else's property you should be able to be told to get off of it. Like I said the laws needs to be changed on that.
I agree but they'd need more cops. We've had less and less bobbies on the beat, i.e. police officers being able to do the small jobs.
Mostly nowadays they won't even catch a burglar. The police just give you a report for your insurance.
In my town they can't even pay for a full time traffic warden. This means that all the locals know when they're allowed to park how and where they like without getting in trouble.
Most parking offences are civil not criminal so cops cannot and will not take any action.
Reminds me of a retired doctor you couldn't tell anything to. He often had a look on his face like "How DARE you question ANYTHING that I have said. I'm a doctor". I'm sure most of you know that hanging a TV mount does NOT require you to cut a big section out of the drywall, exposing the studs. He also insisted my dog was barking at a 3 legged dog because it was unusual. Had an elaborate theory. A couple would each walk a dog, one of them was a 3 legged boxer. Tink would sniff the air and start barking seconds before they walk by every day. She almost never barked. One day I see the wife with the 3 leg boxer. Tink wanted to say hi, like she usually did (she was the cutest, sweetest Pekingese). 5 minutes later she is barking. It was the OTHER dog she didn't like. Turns out, that dog would pretend to be nice but nip at you. She smelled his dickish behavior and told him every day not to mess with us.
in reference to story 2 recently in the uk someone parked there car in someone elses driveway and the land owners blocked the car in so it couldn't be moved and made the owner of the vehicle Pay to get his car out of the driveway and there was nothing the police or council could do because its on private land
If you don't like safety training, there are places that don't have such thing, you will feel very welcomed there... of course there's no insurance there... and if you have accident or even died, you can't sue the company or ask them money, because it's your own fault to be careless at work.
Story 2 If that guy parked in my driveway like that I'd just take his tires off and stack them by his car and repeat as necessary. I don't think it would take long for him to find somewhere else to park.
That would be worth watching lol. Nothing like watching neighborhood feuds- lol I need to fix my porch but its all cold and snowy now
The house at the end of the private road - my parents house is like this and they didn't have trouble with people parking, but people driving at speed down the driveway that ended at the horse corral. Once the horse was gone the gate was left open and if it had recently rained - let me tell you that mud was so deep and with the uphill slope it took a large tow truck to pull them out.
Story 4: "You should be grateful to have a job, now give me the money you make from that job!"
Is the sentiment that jobs themselves, not the resulting paycheck, are what's valuable now? That working for the sake of working is something we lowly peasants should aspire to? Some people really do want plain old slavery to be the norm.
HERE IN 6 SECONDS. Hello DarkFluff I love listening to these videos while I work out

So I’m glad fluff gave Steveo the holiday off. Fluff did you give him a new blanket as well?
FIRST STORY: NOTHING to say. Just laugh at him.
I remember what a customer asked me “Whatever happened to the customer is always right?”
My response, “It’s not the 90’s anymore!”
The million dollar contract was broken by the boss. At that point, OP was obliged to return the original million, less any legitimate expenses including OPs time. The 350,000 was a gift. OP could have kept it, and let the courts sort it out. The boss was hoist by his own petard. He refused to pay for his funds to be managed, OP had no reason to manage them for free. The boss got more than he paid for. OP kept the value of his work, less 350,000.
The customer is always right….
Unless they’re looking for reimbursement… Then they are either right or wrong!
Forget guns my new comeback to Brit's is at least we can legally tow someone off our driveway.
Is using guns your comeback? Just. Straight up shooting them?
@@firstnamelastname7035 hahaha oh yeah for sure XP after all I am a man of few words
Re the driveway story, what an idiotic rule. It's just as bad as allowing vehicles to be parked against the flow of traffic!
It is weird that you can't tow a 'trespassing vehicle' but IDK, American common sense on that one from me.
@Calekoflight In Australia one can't just park in another person's driveway, it'd be trespassing.
Can't park across driveways, or footpath neither, even if your own driveway.
Also, can only park in direction of traffic, not that it stops people!
@@Calekoflight There's multiple types of trespass, the 2 in question here being common and aggravated. Police aren't interested in common trespass, only aggravated trespass, and a lot of police aren't interested in doing their jobs at all if they can get out of it. If someone enters your land it's common trespass. If you tell them to leave and they refuse to do so it becomes aggravated trespass. The difference can be as simple as putting up a "Private Road, No Parking" sign. If there's 2 people in the car or more than one car you may be able to use the Criminal Justice Bill to seize ownership of their vehicle. The land-owner is only on the losing side when it could be mistaken for a road and he's taken no measures to tell people not to park there.
Actually depends on the policy of the company itself because the management company cannot fire against the organization that hired them and if they are just terminating people just for the hell of it they could have a long battle in court for wrongful termination they don't need nothing wrong with determinate them I hope they did take him to court
There may be recourse for someone parking on your private property. If you post signs claiming parking is open to the public for $500/15 minutes (payable up front), a person parking and not paying is eligible to be towed.
He didn’t pay the tax on the 1.35 mil since it was written in legal documents that he was trading for the boss. The boss likely paid the tax on that.
Story 4: OP is a thief, but so is the boss. The only difference is that OP is a smarter thief. Good on him.
In RE to Story 2, here in ALBERTA, IF you get a ZONING PERMIT to have a sign that states NO PARKING TOW AWAY ZONE, you can actually have it to include half of the driveway in some areas. I have seen a sign ON someones driveway that said IF YOUR PLATE NUMBER IS NOT ________(4 plate numbers were on it) THEN YOU WILL BE TOWED AT YOUR EXPENSE.
There's some suspicious 'holes' in the stock story. Truth be told, I enjoyed it, but I dont think I'd have OP do my investing because I'm afraid of what he might 'forget' to tell me-- or the IRS.
Parking on a driveway. If you give warning that you will have the vehicle towed if they park there again since they don't have permission, guess what? You have it towed and it's legal to do so, it's your property!
17:45 the point about the 1.3 millon is arguable since he sent it to the boss it’s not precisely his own gain so it can be classed as expense or similar therefore it wouldn’t apply for capital gain
When I owned a small restaurant and was working the restaurant, I'd always take the jobs people didn't want to do. Partly to give them a break, but to also show I won't ask you to do something I wouldn't do myself.
Op isn't a thief if he's robbing from trash
On the stock market story. the money lent to OP was when business was good. so the boss had enough around to try. But he wanted someone else to do the job. So it's not like OP used money necesary for the business at the moment
On the parking story, why didn't the OP simply put a gate across their driveway with a remote opener? Simple solution and keeps the riffraff out!
Naas, this way it pisses the old curmudgeon off. Preferably enough that his heart gives out.
I Would Have Laid The Refrigerator Down on It's Back. Then At Home Would Have Unload The Refrigerator and Left It Upright Till Next Day for the oil to settle back down to the compressor...
problem is "if it aint broke dont fix it" only applies to people who have been around for a while to outside hands it might look broken
Story 4. Owner deserved it, you have had it on paper, and he did not do his end of the deal, so tough luck.
Little fun facts from Germany about parking issues... In Germany there used to be the rule that if you parked infront of a drive, The homeowner would call a towtruck and the towtrucker would then claim all costs involved from the illegally parked car's owner. Until a few years back the towed car belonged to a lawyer who made a big stink about it. He sued the homeowner for illegal towing, claiming it was more reasonable to expend all methods to find the owner of the car in question and have him move the car. And the judge followed that claim. Now you are not allowed to tow cars that block your driveway. But you can tow cars that park ON your property - even with the towtruck owner claiming all costs from the towed car's owner again. This was my case - I ignored signs that the area I parked belonged to a restaurant and my car got towed and I had to pay the cost involved (~180 ... better than Munich where its usually ~350)
Good Grief! She said he'd have to watch training videos in her office, not that she was going to train him. 🤦♀️ So, yeah, it's probably just as well he got himself fired.
Man I wish I could have seen story 3 personal. I would have died of laughter. Huge props to the granddaughter and her grandfather. Good job
While working as a mechanic I actually got to fix the aftermath of a "customer is always right". This Honda Civic comes in on a flat bed, with a completely obliterated rear suspension. Broken springs, blown out struts, bent components, trashed bushings, etc. Was a complete mess. And since no one ever tells the mechanic the truth, we were told she hit a big pot hole. Which was obviously BS, but what ever got to work on it.
While I was waiting for parts, a truck from the local plant nursery rolls in. Needed some basic maintenance work from what I remember, they took really good care of their trucks. And as soon as the workers saw this dismantled Honda in my bay they practically fall over laughing! So since I was waiting for parts I just had to know right?
So they begin to regale me with the story about how this woman came in to buy a 6 foot tall palm tree, and when they told her there is no way you are getting it home in a Civic, she went off on them insisting her husband said this was perfectly fine and it would work. So they complied, got her to sign something and brought the tree out with a forklift, and placed it sort of in the trunk. And unsurprisingly being so heavy it did all this damage to the car as she tried to get it home. We never did find out what happened to the palm tree though.
Just to add, here in Scotland, there is no trespass law. Crazy eh 🤷🏻♀️
if anyone calls cap and say "A coaxial cable is very strong", I will tell you that I had coaxial cables that would fail from using them for their intended purpose (Like plug them in and they sit there, not being fiddled with) and they would sometimes fail, so what would they do to holding up a 5 ton fridge?
Here in Silicon Valley, we had an early High-Tech entry family that fits this story to a "T". They ran a chain of huge "Themed" outlets that sold anything needed to build computers and related. While you were waiting in long lines or for dismal help, you could also browse or pick up home appliances and entertainment components/systems.
They treated their employees more like they were the enemy, than employees making the company money.
But, if you needed "anything electronic", cheap, they were the place to go.
They were a very eccentric family.
Got their start as a small grocery store chain.
I work as a dispatcher in towing and it's true, there are many places where we can't tow off private property. It's grand theft auto if we touch the car. I won't say what state I live in but we absolutely cannot touch those cars. We can tow abandoned cars if they are 10+ years old, have been at the place for more than 30 days, and we have significant proof that the person asking for and paying for the tow owns the property. We file this paperwork with the police and take the car straight to the scrap yard. This car can NEVER be titled again and is scrapped. I'm always shocked when people say they have cars towed off their driveways without issue because here it has to be very clearly stated that it's private property or no parking, cars will be towed at the owner's expense, and which tow company will be used. We have done some private property towing and it's just very dicey because of all the regulations here so we've stopped.
A simple solution to the UK parking problem. Rubber worms are predators on tires.
OK, this is beyond awesome, when a 'Florida Man' meets 'Texas Woman.'
Story 4, I m not sure if what OP did was legal in the first place. You are free to invest your own money, but in the vast majority of location you need some very specific license to do this kind of things for others.
Most jobs need some kind of safety training, even just 'dont fall for scams' training. And it's usually VERY strict.
So strict, in fact, that one of my dad's favorite stories is how when he was 23, he was in a plain room with thirty other people and a trainer, who locked the metal door and said "there could be a fire on the other side of this door and you. Don't. Leave. This. Room. Or you will be fired on the spot. There is No Reason you leave this room early."
So anyway, two minutes in and some suit comes in and he looks TERRIFIED of something. He frantically whispers something to the drill sargeant of a teacher and HE goes pale as well!
The teacher goes to the front of the room, pauses whatever training video was playing and says "(my dad's name) you are excused, come back tomorrow. For the rest of you, he's leaving for the one and only reason I can possibly think of...his wife is in labour and is set to burst down the lobby door if he doesn't take her to the hospital right now."
2nd story - here in Britain it is also NOT illegal to block someone out of their driveway but it is illegal to block someone in. Basically OPs father took the only legal recourse as he blocked the rude neighbour out.
So I just got a horror movie ad and I skipped it right when the lady shakily said “Hello?” and IMMEDIATELY after I skip it, it’s followed up with Fluff’s “Hello my wonderful beautiful friends!” Lmao
0:06 I think it's "The people who get EXACTLY what they ask for"
The most maliciously misrepresented saying of our time makes its appearance! The full quote is, "The customer is always right _in matters of taste."_ Meaning the customer is _not_ always right in matters of entitlement...
Sears Fridge Story: If I were OP, I'd have been on the phone to the Police to report an extremely dangerous driver with an very badly secured load giving the make, model, plate and last know location/direction the moment he stated to pull away from the dock...
Dangerous Operation of a Motor Vehicle and Improperly Secured Load Tickets are NOT something you want to get...
I know, I used to be a Tractor-Trailer Driver and though I never got them, I know a few Driver's that did and they were EXPENSIVE...
If, they even get to keep their drivers licence...
@@SonsOfLorgar As far as I know, Dangerous Operation and Improperly Secured Load Tickets don't usually cost you your License, they just cost you a LOT of money...
Though to be honest, I'm not sure if they also give you Demerit Points and enough of those can cost your License...
I live in England and have a car story from somewhere in the 80’s, my uncle and aunt live on a bend with a bunch of semi-detached houses, they were parked on their drive and getting ready to go on holiday, packing and whatnot, one of their neighbours pulls up in a massive van thing right across their drive access, ‘only going to be popping in’ (to their own house), they are told, so aunt and uncle carry on, only, this neighbour went off in a car with family and left the massive vehicle there, blocking them in. They are now ready to go and getting worried that they can’t get out, no one answers when they try ask him to move and they realise neighbour has left. They call family and other neighbours come out at the commotion that is my family getting peeved at this situation, call the police, nothing they can do… so, the family and a bunch of nice neighbours bounce the van out the way 😂 the guy was apparently peeved about it, which yeah, but he knew they were leaving to go on holiday and for some reason decided blocking them completely was ok… obv these days you’d get in trouble for it but as there was no one willing to tattle and it was majority of the neighbours who helped… the neighbour became ‘that neighbour’ and moved away not long after too 😂 my aunt still lives in that house now but my uncle died when I was little to cancer but they have stories of all they got up to which I love my family telling, keeping his memory alive.
Re laws in UK: I’m from Scotland and had rogue parkers, flats owned outright with assigned space in the property deeds, and the parking is well signposted. Still get rogues from time to time who just ignore the massive f*ck off sign saying “PRIVATE PROPERTY”. So I box them in, car gets parked riiiiiight in front of there’s at an angle where they cannot leave, they have to shamefully come to my door and ask me to move, where I’ll point out it’s private property and don’t wanna see their car again. Once someone phoned the police on me because I was “blocking them in”, I explained
“I quite literally own that space, part of the property, they ignored the massively obvious sign saying “PRIVATE PROPERTY” which is at eye level as you enter the private car park, and instead of coming to my door and asking me to move my car, they’ve called the police because they’re too ashamed to do it themselves. I have CCTV proof to verify everything I’ve said”
That guy never came back, he did shout a lot at my elderly neighbour who’s next door (and owns one of the spaces), and almost had his butt kicked by said neighbour, my neighbour got me out the way because he didn’t want me shouted at, and this unhinged maniac was threatening my neighbour with physical violence… so yeah, he had the cops called on him and was escorted away from our properties whilst screeching, it was veeeeery satisfying to see him leave. Everyone else just hangs their head in shame because they realise they’ve been idiots, but yeah the laws suck, it happens a few times a year and I can’t have them towed off my property, I absolutely hate it!
Story 2... the situation here in the UK is actually slightly worse than you paint it. Not only is there no legal right to stop someone parking on your driveway, but it IS illegal to prevent anyone from leaving. So if someone parks on your drive, and you block them in... it's YOU that's committed the offence. The problem is that while 'impeding access' is a criminal offence, there is no criminal offence of trespass, it's purely a civil matter - and the civil law is next to useless. Proving trespass is hard; and if the person parking on your drive has done so without anyone complaining for 52 consecutive weeks, they can argue 'right of way' which the judge will likely agree with - given them a legal right to carry on, and your driveway is legally theirs now.
UK lad here, we have a 3 day rule. If a car is parked on your property and doesn't move (or you don't see it move) for 3 or more days, you can legally get it towed.
The only time you can call police and they'll actually do something about it is if the car/the cars occupants are sketchy.
I was kind of hoping for video of the fridge flying out of the back of the truck. That would have been hysterical to watch on replay.
did that boss in the 4th story really think someone would be fine with losing 70k did he really not think it was weird or suspicious
So let me get this straight. If someone parks on your driveway without permission which is technically trespasssing, you can't do anything about it. But if someone walks onto your property without permission you can call the police to have them removed. Wow!!! Amazing. I would have waited till he actually parked on the driveway and THEN parked his massive landrover behind it so he couldn't get out.
Dishonest employer don’t deserve honesty
In regard to parking: in someone parks on your property its a civil matter and the police won't get involved. BUT if you block the vehicle in, have it towed, put a clamp on OR damage the vehicle in any way the the land owner can be arrested for criminal damage
The last story I can relate to being a Registered Nurse and worked in the very department OP ran which is called MDS or Minimum Data Set and it's just what OP said and those 14 day assessments are rehab patients so yeah they lost a lot of money by being jerks..... how it works is you fill out forms every so many days and then Medicare and Medicaid or the patients insurance company (if you're lucky) pays the nursing home/rehab. It starts when the patient is admitted to the facility and then 7 & 14 days later forms are submitted then 30, 60 and 90 days after unless they go home. The long term residents fall into the 30, 60 & 90 day category unless something happens and they go to the hospital. The person who is in charge of MDS, or the MDS Coordinator has to be on top of their game because like OP said, one missed deadline costs money. The forms are color coded and any part that's green is going to make the facility money which is the Rehabilitation department. In order to keep it all organized you use a calendar to make sure your staff is getting their work in before it's due so it can be checked over before it's transmitted. There is restorative nursing which will bring a facility a lot of money and this is used for long term care residents to help them re-learn their activities of daily living (combing their hair, brushing their teeth, etc) and the facility has to employ aides who are trained to do this but it'll bring in a lot of money if it's done right
2nd story = go to machine mart and buy some go-jacks, use them to push car into middle of road, call 101 and report abandoned vehicle blocking the road
Stores around here leave tying down an item to the customer. That way they don't have any liability to any accidents.
Every year for 30 years in the hotels we had to take emergency procedures, MSDS, OSHA training and any other specialized training that was required. No one was allowed on a ladder and they had special training to get on a ladder. Every single year. Didn't matter if you knew already or not
That 1st story manager was stone cold
For the parking story: the law in Belgium states, if you arrive at your house and there is someone blocking your driveway, nothing can be done. But if you want to leave and someone is blocking your driveway you can call police who can have the car towed.
UK laws consistently amaze me and I'm always happy to live very, very far away.
If I were to turn to a life of crime it'd be first on my list of places to move to.
You would not believe how many people are DUMB enough to pull stuff like that! I worked for Eagle Hardware, Lowe's, & Home Depot- if the customers were so insistent on loading their purchases into, or onto, their vehicle in an unsafe manner, the employees helping weren't allowed to help, AND the customers had to sign a "waver" that cleared the employees & the company of liability. They took pics as well, for legal purposes. I personally witnessed some doozies! Some people are idiots.🙄"PLAY DUMB GAMES, WIN DUMB PRIZES😂😂😂
