Let this first story be a lesson: ALWAYS. MICROCHIP. YOUR. PETS.
You never know when some a-hole might want to steal or kill them.
That and keep your cats indoors only taking them out on a leash. There are lots of jerks who are not above stealing other people's pets.
My landlords did that and becayse I wouldnt let them, they threatened to evict me unless I gave him to a shelter. I shouldnt have let them scare me and kept him in the house. I could have sued them for that.
I have 2 indoor cats and both are microchipped incase of the unlikely event that either of them manage to get outside alone by escaping their catio.
@Blitzwolfmon not to mention that there are people out there who hate animals so much they trap them to "play" with them to death.
Both my cats are microchips, thank goodness.😮
Not the ahole. Op had one item. A sleeping baby can sleep for the minute or so the transaction would take. The old woman had no business offering to let mom skip to the front of line that was more than herself.
Yes I am a mother.
What I have an issue with, is how the Karen and the old lady thought it was a great idea to act like OP’s time wasn't valuable as theirs. I will never understand people who think it's okay to make decisions on someone else's behalf as if they don't have the autonomy or awareness to decide for themselves.
I don't have children myself as I decided back in my twenties that I was child-free (I'm midway through my 40s now). It's just staggering how some types of parents (not all), think that they deserve special concessions, privileges, to have everyone bend over backwards for them and hand them everything they want in life through no effort on their part solely because they made the life choice of having children.
Conversely, I know some really wonderful people who totally dig being parents and they absolutely understand why I'm child-free. Raising kids is a lot of work. I'm an uncle five times over and I have two godsons. I also worked in child care back in my early twenties. That was my final test on deciding whether or not I wanted to be a parent. I think you can figure out what my decision was.
The kidnapping story: That's not Karen behaviour, that's mentally ill behaviour. That's "Lock her up for her own protection" levels of insane.
That psycho mom trying to kidnap the kid needs to be in jail forever
Too bad courts give lighter sentences to mothers
And ever, amen
Correction, she needs to be put down like a rabid animal.
This! It doesn't matter who made the kid! Unless you have custody, you don't have the right to take your kid anywhere without permission!
That's one brave kid, standing up to her mother while she's holding a gun.
Come on! I’m a mom of 4 and grandma of 7! The guy had ONE item! A sleeping child is NO reason to get any special treatment. If I would’ve been in front of him and not been tindered, I would’ve let him go first. As I’ve done often in my 63 years!
Its hilarious when karens try to be the ‘adulting police’ saying adults can’t watch cartoons or play with Lego.
Legos are fun no matter what the age!
Ugh, my dad is like that. Video games are for children or people who don't want to grow up. And that included all the people I was working with when I worked at GameStop, including my District Manager, just because they worked with video games.
@@kelleyk28 Is he aware that if every adult stopped making stuff associated with kids (games, toys, media) that all parents would be screwed?
I feel like those of us still nurturing our inner child deserve more respect at least for the fact that we often make good entertainment/distractions for kids 😂
@@kelleyk28 I play only a few video games on my iPad - I’m a terrible gamer - so I stick with just a very certain kind. My sin had all kinds of game consoles as he grew up (he was born in 1980 so had quite a few along the way - - still has them as we lacked them all up and took them with us last Christmas when we went out to Colorado for the holidays. I had forgotten certain ones we had - was kind of a Smithsonian flash back for me!
I am 57 years old and I love Tale Spins 😂❤
Crazy bio-mom story: that little girl is smart, and so is the nanny. I think they're both going places.
I would definitely call police if anyone catnapped my kitty! And that quip about poisoning OP's other cat was VERY suspicious!
Story 4: No wonder the divorce and restraining order happened. Nobody needs to live around someone as violent as this Not-mom. At least OP managed to memorize the car so the Karen would get arrested, so I hope those three years are enough to knock some reality into her.
And if it doesn't, maybe John's spouse has a way.
The driver was was an accessory to the EB trying to kidnap the daughter too. Should have been two arrests.
I'd like to point out that the EM signed away her parental rights in a heartbeat when she was looking at nearly two decades in prison. Clearly Ellie didn't mean that much to her. She just wanted to stick it to the Father.
@@Arcane_Route_66 That, and she probably wanted the child support money just so she could spend it on herself. Look it up, it happens. Some mothers who divorce their husbands, who've done nothing wrong by the way, try their hardest to get custody just so the ex husband has to pay child support. Then, instead of saving that money for the child's future, she spends it all on herself and will probably force the kid to get a part time job right out of highschool...if the kid even gets to go to highschool that is
@@Enter_the_Toshiverse_1996 yes. I never had a cent of child support spent on me. Boy was she mad when I moved in with my dad to another state when I was thirteen. I hope that abusive, evil hell hag rots in hell forever.
Preferably with a firearm, since that woman clearly wasn't afraid to use one.
It’s a bit refreshing to hear about a Karen NOT from America complaining about people who aren’t speaking their language. I guess that’s not exclusive to Karens in the States.
Japan has a fair bit of racism, iirc.
There's one in every culture, just like every race has its intellectuals and idiots
In her defense I've heard it's really frowned upon to talk or make noise in trains in Japan
@@TheFlyingClutchman You are more or less correct - not just in trains but in most public places like libraries, shops, etc - but some Japanese (typically young people traveling in groups) do that anyway - and get yelled by older people. But I guess locals living near touristy areas at some point get fed up by very loud tourists and some proceed to berate them in very broken English - yes, causing even more commotion in process.
Japanese people as a whole are quite respectful and mindful of social boundaries - at least they do well to keep such social moniker publicly. But sadly even that country did not entirely escape the plague of karenship which appears to be an international disease.
Please understand that since unlike US or Europe historically-isolationist island nation Japan is very mono-national and mono-racial, they had much less experience with inter-cultural tolerance and tend to project their frustration with some foreigners (many of whom are in fact very obnoxious from their cultural standpoint) to all of them. They typically aren't doing it on purpose and not because they are thinking of themselves of a "greatest race/nation" but because of their history their cultural understanding of interracial/national tolerance is still not entirely caught up with modern societal standards.
@@jwhite5008 no no, the ones that react like the Karen in the story actually _DO_ think they're a superior race, and we foreigners are barbarians who don't know bushido...
Most aren't like that, but those that actually go as far as to tell you to go back to your country cuz not knowing the language is offensive... Yeah, they're not very sane.
Story 1: kidnap a cat you get John Wick.
My ex passed away last summer just after his 63rd birthday. He watched anime (which is a type of cartoon) all the time. Age means nothing when it comes to your interests.
I'm 66 and still enjoy some anime and animated programs. Good entertainment no matter your age
Anyone can enjoy cartoons, anime, etc. No matter how old they get. There's no limit on entertainment. Anyone who thinks there is has a few screws loose.
If someone comes up to you and tells you that you're too old to watch cartoons, you can tell right away that they're one of *those* people: a sad and bitter killjoy who thinks growing up means abandoning all the things you loved as a kid and becoming a stick in the mud who's constantly angry at the world.
Don't be like them. If you love cartoons or anime or video games, then you're doing it right.
After all, Walt Disney himself said that adults are just children grown up, anyway. 😊👍
My hubby watches anime, and he's 56. I'm 51, and I watch all kinds of cartoons. The #1 reason I wanted to get Disney+ was to watch DuckTales and Darkwing Duck. 😆
@@Enter_the_Toshiverse_1996 "You're too old to watch cartoons." "Yeah? *You're* too old to worry that much about what other people do with their time, what is this, 9th grade?"
If the old lady had ushered the mother in front of herself, then fine but to say she could go to the front of the line without other people's consent, then NO!
Yeah, I'd be like, excuse you. You have no power here.
@@paulagoeringer9466 Gandalf: YOU SHALL NOT PASS!!!
@@nancyomalley6286 😆
@@nancyomalley6286Now I'm imagining Gandalf in a grocery store screaming "YOU SHALL NOT PASS!!!" at the old lady and the mom 😂
Exactly that. It's not her queue to give.
In most custody agreements, the law is highly in favor of the mother. Imagine how badly this woman must've treated her daughter, to the point that she didn't even get supervised visitation and actually received a restraining order.
...on a second thought, after she pulled out the gun, we don't need to imagine.
I knew a woman who started out with supervised visitations with her 6 kids, then I saw her a while later, she had a no-contact order and she lost all parental privileges, She found it so funny that she couldn't even ever legally adopt her own kids if she and they wanted to! I always knew she was a bit weird, but that had to be way out there bizarre. And finding it funny!?
We don't have all the details because the story was told from the nanny's perspective, but given how the Mom behaved here, I'm going to assume that the reason for the divorce was either child neglect or abuse.
Possibly, she was mistreating her daughter and the father didn't know because he was so busy with work, hence why he eventually hired the nanny telling the story.
The Mom could've been neglecting or even abusing her daughter, and when the father found out, he divorced her and the courts granted him custody.
Though, I found it legitimately hilarious when the Mom said that the courts and cops had no right to keep her from her daughter. I wish I could tell her "um...lady, yes they do! The courts made legal declarations that you no longer have parental rights and are no longer allowed to see your daughter, and the police are there to reenforce that and make sure that the laws are being upheld. And besides, you just pulled a gun out on someone with the intent to shoot...you ain't EVER getting near this little girl ever again!"
It automatically being in the favor of the mother is such bull. My parents divorced when I was 2 and my Mom got to be primary caretaker just because of being the mother despite acting like a complete psycho in court. Couldn't permanently move out of there till 18. Screw the courts
The state I live in tends to be heavily in favor of the mothers sadly. When working security though there was a supervised visitation with the father at the CPS office where he thought it would be a smart idea to bring the kids mother. This mother had no right to see her children which was surprising until the person who brought the kids for their visitation said she was going to leave with the kids as the mother couldn't be there, to which the mothers reply was that she was going to go out to her car and get her gun and come back into the office if we didn't let her see her kids. Became very clear why this woman was not allowed near these children and their father lost all rights to them as well for bringing her along. Felt bad for those kids having horrible parents like that and I hope they are doing well.
Not all heroes wear capes!
Big BRAVO to OP nanny for protecting the child! She went above&beyond. 👍😎
Last story.... Not the AH.
Meh. I'm kinda half and half on the last story. On the one hand, OP has a point that being a parent doesn't automatically entitle you to do things like cut long lines at the supermarket. You shouldn't be bringing babies with you to run errands in the first place.
On the other hand, he didn't need to get so aggressive and verbally attack the mom. First off, it's not that big of a deal. And second, it was the old lady who suggested it, the Mom didn't say anything nor did she even act on it. There was no need for OP to get so testy
Story 2: Japanese people are taught to be polite to one another, but many of them especially the older generations can be very xenophobic against 'outsiders'. Westerners are thought of as being incredibly untrustworthy, and its very hard for visiting outsiders to even rent in Japan because landlords are convinced outsiders will just break the lease and leave the country, so sometimes even if they do rent to you, you have to pay the full lease up-front. It doesn't help that outsiders stick out in Japan like a sore thumb.
They have mostly been exposed to tourists, some of whom are - to their cultural standards - quite obnoxious and inconsiderate. And since Japan was historically quite isolationist it's very mono-national so some Japanese - especially older generation - tend to project behavior of some foreigners to all of them.
@@jwhite5008 not to mention the way US and other colonial powers forced their way into Japanese trade and culture in the late renaissance and again in the mid 19th century.
The same happens in Korea. I've had an old lady beat me with an umbrella in the subway, just for standing where she didnt want me to stand. ALso had elderly men purposely walk in my path to force me to walk around them. I've had some horrible things thrown at my head while there. Usually if they thought i was american... it was weird.
@@SonsOfLorgar dude, be present. Stop making it about you and projecting your biased perspective on everyone.
@@SonsOfLorgar that was literally over a hundred years ago
You'd think after the John Wick movies came out, people would not be that f'kn stupid, because imo, stealing a beloved pet is absolutely grounds to go ham all over their butts.
I've never seen them...
@@DragynGirl Summary: ex-hitman loses his wife to cancer; her last gift to him is a puppy, to remind him to keep going. Mobster's son (and crew) beat up main character, steal his classic car, and shoot his dog. Hitman comes out of retirement to take revenge. Very high kill-count.
Story 3: Other people's issues are not OP's problem. The kids can't decide over what to watch on TV? Well, OP's DVD player definitely isn't going to help matters, probably just cause a different fight.
Not OPs problem she didn't bring stuff for her goblins to do while camping. Or maybe that Karen just wanted the DVD player for herself and was trying to steal it from OP since they were having fun and bothering no one while watching cartoons.
Bring stuff for your kids! Why don’t parents actually parent like normal people do (not the Karen types). Same thing happens on planes, trains, etc. because many parents are stupid. I’m old, and getting really cranky with these idiot people - thanks for listening😄😄😄
More like the kids didn't want to watch what their Parents were watching and Karen didn't bring anything else to entertain them...
If my sister and i couldn't decide what to look that would have meant no TV at all for us!
Even if she did steal it, all the Cops have to do is ask "What's the name of the program?" and Karen will be unstuck when OP rattles off the name while she just stammers
ALWAYS PRESS CHARGES, ALWAYS DEFEND YOURSELF, ALWAYS ALWAYS CONFRONT.
100% NTA for the last story. The old lady can't volunteer other people's places in line, only her own. I actually went back to re-read the story. If the old lady had said for the mom to skip ahead of herself only and then the OP said what they did, my verdict would be different. But the fact that the old lady told the mom to "skip waiting in line and go to the front because she had a child" solidifies my NTA verdict. You opening up your legs and getting knocked up doesn't give you priority or a right to always go first. Other people's time is just as valuable as yours, and no one has any right to to say it doesn't. You can give up your place and time for mothers, but don't expect others to follow suit.
Edit: I wanted to add this for Dark Fluff - I'm an introverted and quiet person, and I hate confrontation and drama. But there comes a time where you can't keep quiet need to speak up and stand up for yourself. That's exactly how entitled people become entitled and get away with it - because no one says anything. We can go and say "Oh, they could have been nicer about it", but the point still remains.
4TH STORY: I am just left completely and utterly shaken after hearing this terrifying story, and I am SO glad OP made it out of that situation alive. And it's no wonder Ellie's dad, John had filed a restraining order against his ex-wife...THAT KAREN WAS ABSOLUTELY 100% COMPLETELY INSANE! Especially, after she literally pulled out a motherfrickin' gun attempting to shoot and kill OP--RIGHT IN FRONT OF HER OWN DAUGHTER! A crazy person like that shouldn't even be anywhere near children let alone roaming free out in the streets and rightfully deserves to spend the rest of his/her life in jail!
Story 4: most kidnappings are either parents or family members, a small number are strangers. Restraining orders don't work against the people who they are taken out against
It just gives them more jail time when they're caught!
@@nancyomalley6286 I mean
3 years for attempted kidnapping, breaking and entering, threatening someone with a gun, and breaking the restraining order is pretty laughable. She should've gone in longer imo
@@SappyDuder On the other hand, she had to give up all parental rights, meaning that the dad and kid can move 1000 miles away while she's in jail and are not required to inform her.
Hell, that might be why OP had to quit working with them, maybe they were moving elsewhere. Preferably to a gated community where even Mom's spies can't get in.
@@SappyDuder Yeah I don't get that? I've seen loads of people get LIFE in jail for simply an attempted murder, and this woman got 3 years for all of the things she did? wtf?
When you have a restraining order against someone THIS psycho, it's just a piece of paper. This "mom" should have had, no not the book, the whole damned LIBRARY thrown at her!
word to the wise for any cat owners, don't leave your cat outside unattended. They harm the natural environment by killing off native wildlife (mostly birds), and they run a higher risk of being hurt or killed by larger wild animals, cars and cruel people. you can take them for walks or accompany them while they're outside, just don't let them go wherever they want. Also microchip your pets if they do manage to runaway.
The barn cats we had lived outside almost completely on their own. Any "damage" they did consisted of controlling rodents.
As for larger animals... they were faster and nimble than anything around, and I saw the momma cat make it clear to our German shepherd that momma was the boss. I pity any creature that tried to attack those cats.
I’m completely on OP’s side in the last story. You mentioned that the old lady suggested that the mom go ahead, but that would’ve meant going ahead of OP too. If the old lady had softly asked OP if she’d be ok with letting the mom go ahead to the front first, it’d be different. But she actually volunteered for someone to skip ahead of someone else.
Yep. I'm completely fine with letting people in front of me in line if they don't have many items or if they're carrying something heavy (bag of pet food, case of drinks, etc) but I don't have the authority to let them cut the whole line, just ahead of me. The next person ahead would have to let the person move up after that.
Yup. OP didn't start anything. They just said they weren't consenting to being skipped over in line after some random old lady decided to offer that on everyone's behalf. Like, what? I agree with OP, if they child was sleeping, why does mom even need preferential treatment?
Did he have to insult them? Why is he making assumptions about her child care arrangements? Everytime we hear that 'No' is a complete sentence. Why couldn't he just say no if they asked? He is unhinged, a misogynistic vile pig and an a-hole. I would really love to know which country or state this unhinged OP is in. Christ!
If a mom can't wait in line like everyone else, maybe she should find a different method of shopping. Weather if it is finding someone to watch the short ones, or have the things delivered. But I never had any problems with waiting in line with my kids, and one I had to lug along medical devices with. And the person suggesting she should move forward, should have only allowed the mom to go ahead or her. OP is NTA.
I'm so TICKED that they kept letting that crazy mom get away. I almost thought she was gonna get away with it
Camping Karen story: Should have sent Karen to the nearest Walmart to BUY one of her own. See how far that $20 will get you Karen.😂
Yeah, if she had twenty dollars to try to bribe OP for his DVD player, then she could've easily taken that same twenty dollars to the nearest Walmart or Best Buy and gotten one of her own.
Plus, that's on her for not bringing enough things to keep her kids entertained. It's not a random stranger's job to take care of your kids, Karen!
@@Enter_the_Toshiverse_1996 Not only that, she could have gotten an even better one.
I don't condone stealing a pet from someone unless it's being abused, but don't let your cat outside. You greatly reduce it's life expectancy and mess with the local ecosystem. Your indoor kitty can live 20 years, your outdoor kitty has more like 5 years.
The correct procedure if you believe a pet is being abused is to call the appropriate authorities (in Australia, that would be something like the RSPCA). You only take the pet if you believe its life may be in danger if you don't take it, and then as soon as possible, you turn it over to the local pound or similar authority and explain exactly what happened and that you only took the animal out of fear for its life. That covers your backside.
If the pound can't contact the owner, you may be able to get yourself a pet for life.
I grew up with 2 cats that were inside/outside cats (in rural AZ with coyotes everywhere) and they lived to 18 and 20 🤷🏼♀️
Especially after 1 got poisoned already
Story 3. I'll never understand why some parents try to get randos to give them their belongings for their children.
First off, way to teach your kids to not talk to or accept things from strangers when you're going up to a stranger and asking him for his DVD player, Karen!
Second, yes he's a grown man and that means he's entitled to watch whatever the Hell he wants. If he wants to watch cartoons like Tailspin or even freaking SpongeBob, you are no one to tell him not to. It's a free country.
And lastly, think about the children? Like he said, if he had kids, he would do that. But since he doesn't and it's your kids we're talking about, he has no obligation to care about what they want. You're not family to him and so what you do or want is none of his business nor is it his problem that you couldn't be smart enough to bring your own DVD player to entertain both your kids.
That's your fault as a parent, not OP who is a random person just trying to enjoy his spring break.
Yes. Not his clowns, not his circus.
@@paulagoeringer9466 I think I heard this in a Sonic Boom episode once, although there the line was "not my monkey, not my circus!"
Either way, it's still funny and it gets the basic point across that these Karens don't see: not my problem, now piss off!
@@Enter_the_Toshiverse_1996 i don't understand why karens bother total strangers either. like one person said what if the person 'liked' kids or had something wrong with them?
also people who say cat's are the most destructive pest seriously need to do some serious research on the dietary habits and history of rodents and ants.
Why should anyone let another in front of them. The old lady said to go to the front, he said no. End of story.
Yes but he didn’t attack or berate the old lady for it, he attacked and berated the lady with the kid. She didn’t take the old lady up on the offer nor did she insist, so how is she to blame and how is she entitled? He didn’t have to let her cut but he also acted like an idiotic moron himself.
It depends on the situation for me. If I have a lot of stuff and someone has 1 or 2 things I'll often let them go in front of me. If I'm not in a rush at all sometimes I'll let someone in front of me if they seem to be in one as long as they're not being jerks. There are very few situations where I think people should be required to allow the person to jump ahead in line so OP was definitely fine not to allow the lady in front of them.
The dad and Ellie should have gone to a hotel that was close to his work. After the first time she tried to barge her way in.
Or to ask the police to put them into protective custody.
Or he could've asked the higher ups at his work to transfer him to another branch so he'd have a reason to move away and take his daughter with him.
I'm sure if they knew the situation, they'd agree to do it. And this way, he can keep his job and keep his daughter safe from that psycho
@@Enter_the_Toshiverse_1996 I'm going to guess they were probably working on that, just that it takes long to do so
Oh geez fourth story made me tear up a bit. I'm so glad that it all worked out in the end and that E has been doing well despite it all. What an absolute nutter of a mom.
Story 5: Uh... no? It's one thing if you allow someone to cut in front of just you, but making the suggestion to cut in front of everyone else who didn't consent to that is another. OP is allowed to dissuade the mom as her taking the suggestion would involve him and anyone in front of him, and he had just ONE item. Unless the kid's crying a lot, then sure. Otherwise, no. You wait your turn like anyone else.
I agree, however, OP was a bit judgy of the mother. How do they know her situation to go saying ‘just leave the baby at home’? The old lady overstepped a lot. It wasn’t the mothers fault and dumping crap on her wasn’t cool.
@@lynettegraves6261 I can see that. Those assumptions of the mom are a bit unfounded. I should be clear that my main issue is with the old lady making the suggestion in the first place. Like let the mom cut in front of you, be my guest. You don't speak for anyone else. She's, to me, one of those preachy types that think they got that "moral superiority" or something.
@@S4intINS4N3 Totally with you on that! She was rude and deserved the f-off.
There is a reason I don't camp at campgrounds normally. The majority of my camping is done at the farm where I rent a field for my horses. I block off a section of the field (don't really want a horse trying to get in the tent with me), set up my tent, make a fire and relax. My dog can't get out of the field, so she's free to run around.
All of my heads were shaking. 👀
If the child was crying and unable to stop then yeah I would let him go in line ahead of me but if not if it were sleeping then you can wait.
Not to mention, OP had ONE item. That's, what 20-30 seconds that the mom can wait?
Every lie we tell incurs a debt to the truth.
Sooner or later, that debt is paid.

That guy was in charge of containing Chernobyl nuclear radiation and did pretty well despite constantly being forced by soviet government to hide the truth.
He knew what he is talking about, he knew pretty well.
Sad fact: most kidnappings (and murders and SAs) are done by someone known to the victim. Kidnappings are usually parents who’ve lost custody.
"Kidnappings are usually parents who’ve lost custody."
I'd substitute "almost always" for "usually" since that's more accurate, but you're right. The Stranger Danger message is mostly a myth. Kidnappings by strangers only get reported on the news because they're very rare and unusual. The far more frequent kidnappings by relatives rarely get reported because they're so commonplace.
4th story. 3 years is honestly to short there. she got of WAY to easy. pulling a gun on someone (who knows what her plans was with that gun if the dad was home) attempted kidnaping, breaking a restraining order multiple times. breaking in 2 times. her driver would also be in a big problem there. considering the speed they drow of at its clearly they had some incline about what was going on.
First Story .. Please keep your cats inside .They live longer .. ..
And kill fewer birds
Ummm, if someone poisoned my cat, I would never let any other cats outside. Not a good idea, anyway.
Story 3: I love Talespin! One of the best Disney shows ever created! And I own a few portable DVD players. So I hope I never have to deal with what this guy went through. And I certainly hope I could handle things the way he did. And getting everyone to clap at the Karen. That was genius!

Don't worry Fluff don't shake my head. I just facepalm A LOT and in most cases a good double facepalm with a deep sigh.
Don't know if Australian law allows this, but OP should get their cat microchipped in case the neighbors try some crap like that again.
I read somewhere that a cat should be at least 14 months old before it gets microchipped apparently it can cause neurological issues if it's done too early
@@i_am_bisexual_or_something3132 No it doesn't.

And puppys mut be chipped, by law, before sale. And most puppys are Sold at 8 week old.
In australia they cull cats actively with how invasive they are
@@i_am_bisexual_or_something3132 Although microchipping a tiny kitten is probably not the optimal thing, if it's done correctly by qualified professionals it is pretty safe.
You may have mixed it up with vaccinations which may not very safe for very young kittens - although certainly 14 months is too much, maybe you meant something like 14 weeks?
@@silverscalederg8632 Mostly yes, but probably not everywhere. Australia is pretty big.
There is also a difference between feral cat population and outdoor-indoor house cat.
First story: both parties are wrong. The people who took the cat are thieves, animals are property. The person who let their cat wander, however? I don't care that it's 'allowed,' outdoor cats aren't safe. They already lost one when it got poisoned! And ignoring people who do that to animals for no reason, what if the cat got killed by an animal or hit by a car? What if it got sick? It would be the owner's fault for not keeping a domestic animal indoors where it belongs.
Yes! Cats are domestic animals no matter what some people think. The are indoor only!!!!
Don’t forget they let the cat out when it’s going rain. Honestly they were lucky that their cat was stolen, because worst things could’ve happened.
Story 1: I’m legitimately surprised you’re aloud to let your cat wonder in Australia, they have open bounties on feral cat there plus all the endangered animals that cats kill there. O right, cats are nocturnal so the “no night time rule” is so the pet cats don’t get confused with the feral ones, good talk we figured it out.
this is not the outback but a small neighborhood. so what, Australia is like any other place. and the cat or another pet would probably get harm more from a human than another animal.
*allowed
@@ElCid48 thank you for the clarification 😁 appreciate it
@@ElCid48 Uhm. Threatened and endangered species still exist in human-dense areas, ya knob.
Don't worry, it's becoming illegal in some areas to let cats born after a certain year outside. We'll see how enforced that gets, though.
The last story: NTA.That woman didn’t have the right to tell the woman with the kid to just move to the front of the line.
Op had the right to dissuade the mom from following through with such an entitled suggestion.
Your crotch goblin doesn’t give you more rights than anyone else.
If you don’t like waiting in long lines then keep your arse at home or find a babysitter.
IKR? Screw the commenter that said 'he shouldn't get involved'. HE IS INVOLVED! He's one of the people the old lady wanted the mom to cut in front of.
You can only get the person to go in front of you if you're the next in line, not to decide that for other people. I had a crutch because I had injured a foot bone one time and I got yelled at by a mom with a stroller in a tight spot on the sidewalk, after I had to push past her because I had to ask three times for her to move slightly and let me pass and she never even acknowledged me. She immediately whipped her head around and yelled "Can't you see I have a stroller? Learn some manners!" and I yelled back "AND I HAVE FUCKING CRUTCHES." She went white and said nothing else.
First, stupid, how do you know the older woman wasn't at the front of the line? Second, no OP did NOT have that right as there is no such right. Three, it wasn't the mother who would have been entitled as she was not the one who made the suggestion. Finally, SHE DIDN'T EVEN TAKE THE SUGGESTION, stupid!!! OP was the entitled one in this situation, dumbass!
@@nancyomalley6286 And where was he in line? Where was the older woman in line? OP should NOT have gotten involved. It was none of his fucking business!
@@protoborg He was just in front of the mom and the old lady. Old lady wanted the mom to cut in front of EVERYONE, including OP.
Only three years for attempted murder and attempted kidnapping? That is a shocking level of privilege on display.
Happy Monday my fellow Dark Fluffies ❣️☺️
Psyco neighbors and me being a good cat parent is why i trained my beautiful calico cat to go out on my deck with me wearing a harness and leash.
In the kidnapping story in my state you can use deadly force and I most definitely would have.
So you can live the rest of your life as the murderer of your kid's mum? No thanks.
Ellie and the crazy bio mom - Fluff - you said 'that nobody was hurt', but it would be more truthful to say nobody was physically hurt. I can't believe that there was no mental trauma from that episode. I know as an adult I'd be having some nightmares from it, and I'm sure the dad and the daughter would be even more affected. That had to be scary as hell to live through. Not all hurt is physical...
The phrase “only one tv in the RV” is everything that’s wrong in the world.
“Watching a cartoon called Talespin”
Damn blast from the past is calling!
Story 4: I would have fought against the plea she got, attempted murder in front of a child? Never see sunlight again.
On the story about op camping and meeting the entitled karen, what heck is wrong with people, YOU STEAL OR TRY AND STEAL someone else's property. Bring your own stuff for your kids.
Man that crazy woman trying to kidnap the daughter... I'm not surprised she took the plea deal.
As a parent, if I had a crazy ex who tried to kidnap my child, I would have been fighting the concept of a plea deal. 3 years on the condition of signing over parental rights ...... that is a joke. No way would I be able to trust that she would stay away after jetting out of jail. Remember, rarely does anyone serve the entire sentence ..... time off for good behavior (because the jails are over crowded and they want to get people out ASAP to free up space). NOPE! If she is truly a danger to her child's safety, she should be in jail long enough for the child to be well grown before she gets out. NOPE, put her infront of a jury (or make it trial by the bench), but put her history and behavior and the reason why she has not been permitted to be around her child ..... and her gun play ..... and let her face (and maybe be awarded) the big prize of 15 year with no time off for good (yeah right) behavior. give her enough time for her child be grow up and have a chance to start an adult life without the fear/concern of the wacko parent showing up one day demanding to be a part of her life, or god forbid, trying to gain access to any grandchilren.
The Racist Japanese Karen thing is a weird cultural occurrence in Japan. It's the one time that these individuals will be loud and confrontational. I don't know if it's because outsiders are not part of their system and thus not "deserving of respect," or that they think that since they are outsiders that it's without repercussion.
Either way, the plague made it worse.
At least this isn't a normal occurrence with the general public like it is here in the West, but it's just weird.
I mean it's xenophobia and a desire for conformity, there's not too much rationality other than hating those who are different or foreign to the country. There's always gonna be those types of people in every country.
From what I've heard, most Japanese people are pretty warm and welcoming to foreigners and tourists as long as you're not being total asshat.
@@ethanthao3704 There is always rationality. It's just usually based off from flawed logic, be it the correlation is causation or some other series of false equivalences. If not, it's based off from the logic of a person with a diseased mind.
Story 3: there is no such thing as too old for cartoons
The cat story is a reminder for all pet owners. Get your pets microchipped. It provides an external means identification when the question of ownership comes up. It also allows your pet to say "Hi my name is Maximilian My owner is John Doe. She can be reached at XXX." Collars can be 'lost' and replaced with another one.
In Japan it is considered EXTREMELY rude to talk on public transportation. If you are on a train or bus it is completely silent. It's almost unsettling to come from a place where where everyone is on their phone talking loud enough for everyone to hear to go to complete silence.
In the camping story it makes me think I really don't understand why Karen's feel themselves so entitled that they can just take somebody else's property and not face any consequences for the theft. Why do they feel themselves that entitled? I'm starting to think there's some cult out there that breeds Karen's. Cult of The Karen
It's usually parents too lazy to actually parent that raise spoiled brats that grow up to be even more spoiled adults. Also the "Karens" are usually not very smart to begin with. Because even if you're raised wrong, if you have any intelligence at all, you can figure out how to be a civilized adult.
The Cult of Karen sounds like a low budget horror movie and you what? I'd watch that unironically! 😂😂😂
I’m 75 and I still like to watch some cartoons. Road Runner and Wiley Coyote will make me laugh out loud!
Nice! You into any new cartoons or just stick with the classics? (Nothing wrong with that, I'm just curious)
@@damien678 Nope - not really anything new. Personally I truly do not like Anime - to me it’s not very pleasing to even look at and rather crude in the drawing. I grew up on great animation and good cartoons on TV. I love the Disney movies but just don’t like what Disney has become and I have noticed they are remaking their very good animation movies with live and animation. I think it’s dumbing down the kids - my granddaughter is only allowed the original animated movies and I’m happy with that! Sure do wish my Mom hadn’t thrown away all those old comic books I had back in the 1950s when I went away to college. Oh, and I love Mad Magazine but haven’t looked at an issue for a very long time.
always a microchip tout babies as soon as you have them. It's bad here ppl will break into houses, backyards or even at stores fur babies. I even had a neighbors kid see when we moved in I had a bunny and parents tried many tricks to get I to pur house from saying they can help fix our mower which didn't need fixing to.many excuses to try and take my rabbit
Story 1: Laws regarding cats in Australia vary by state and council. Some (like mine) have a 24 hour curfew. I’m very much of the mind that cats should be contained in your property as dogs are expected to be, not just because of the damage they do to the native wildlife, but because it’s so much safer for them. Cars, other cats, horrible people, skin cancer from sun exposure, more exposure to diseases, etc. Having said that, it’s never ok to just take a cat in - if you’re concerned about the welfare of a wandering/stray cat you turn it in to a vet, not take it upon yourself to rehome it. And you absolutely do not poison or otherwise harm it.
Last story: if the old lady wants the mum to go in front of her, no problem. But she doesn't get to make that choice for others in the line. As for the mum feeling uncomfortable in a public space because of people like the OP - perhaps it was the OPs comment about not bringing the baby to the store that caused it. She may not have anyone else to leave the baby with, or to shop for her. So OP, you may be tired of entitled parents, but at the same time she may be tired of judgmental people. But yeah, everybody sucks here
Very deep bow to the man who stood up for them in story #2.
Story one: When Karen told OP they'd stolen the cat to "teach you a lesson" the response should be "Oh, you guys didn't NEED to steal my cat to teach me that you're a-holes -- I already KNEW that!"
story 5 : as someone who has been on both sides of this conundrum, no OP is not the AH, it's one thing to offer a jump ahead of yourself, but DO NOT BE GENEROUS WITH OTHER PEOPLE TIME, not at the grocery store, not at a 4-way stop not at the movie theater, be as nice as you want but NEVER suggest a third party is obligated to acquiesce to your generosity
I'm suspicious of the car accident in the crazy mom story. Think it was a coincidence, or were they an accomplice to draw the nanny's attention away to allow the mother to attempt a kidnapping?
I once stayed at a campsite that was part of a campground owned by a large national chain of such ( they use a picture of a certain cartoon bear in their logo) I pitched my tent, and left my site to get something to eat in town, ( I always pitch my tent so that my head will be higher than my feet, inportant later) imagine my surprise, when I returned to find two adult males who were in the process of moving my tent! They had already pulled the stakes from the rock hard ground, bending them beyond repair. I was furious, and demanded to know what the thought they were doing, one of sneered and said " this pos is facing the wrong way, and it's violating our privacy" here they had a large travel trailer with all sorts of gear hanging off of it while we stood there arguing, the park ranger arrived and on hearing the problem sided with me as I was there first, well these two were poor losers, but left me alone or so I thought, they proceeded to haul out lawn furniture, a few motor scooters a large stereo system and ( strangest of all) a portable plastic picket fence, that they put up within inches of my tent, they then set loose two small but very vocal dogs, they put up strings of Japanese style plastic lanterns and turned their site in to party central! When I went to purchase new tent stakes from the camp store I wasted no time in registering a complaint with the management of the place but my complaint fell on deaf ears, the night that followed was full of bright lights,loud music, and generally loud and drunken behavior, and my biggest thought was these people are supposed to be camping? What little sleep I got was interrupted at dawn by the two dogs barking,upset because they wanted to be fed I pulled camp and got out of there swearing I would never stay in a campground owned by that outfit again.
This I imagine is why that OP had a camper and not a tent
That nanny is a freaking hero!
I never understood why people literally warn the culprit the police are on the way. Just let the police come instead of giving the lunatics a head start.
That last story reminds me of a situation a few weeks ago - I wet shopping and there'd been a festival close to the store. Many people had only 2-3 items and I had my cart full. Normaly I go in line and wait for my turn, but this time I had to wait for the train back, so I did let a few people in front of me. There'd been a mom and her daughter (around 10yo) and when I let them in front, the daughter said "mom, it's not okay to cut in line, we have to wait our turn" her mom said "It's okay, he's let us in front" and that's when the daughter thanked me like 5 times - it's sometimes moments like this that make my day. I told the mom that her daughter is raised well for being that polite and honest.
Wow Karen really walked up to the wrong person in Story 3. OP was immediately prepared to take no crap from that lady.
"How dare the courts call me an unfit mother!"
Gee, I wonder why the court made that decision.
Take the car and hide it as collateral for the stolen cat.
As soon as I heard that some woman that wasn't EM was at the door and said she hit OP's car, I immediately was like "NO NO NO DON'T GO OUTSIDE."
Last Story: One thing to remember is that there's a theory of the law that states how silence is a sign of acceptance. The old lady was in the wrong for suggesting the mom cut everyone, but put OP in a position where not saying anything would take away her right to object.
Another thing is the disrespect that old lady gave assuming OP's situation... I always try and consider if there would be a valid reason for someone to act in a certain way, and in this case, I played the story back with the added detail (most likely fabricated) that OP recently had a miscarriage. Which then puts the grandma and mom fully in the wrong.
My theory is if someone's claims (such as the grandma claiming to think of the children and telling OP she's ungrateful for being barren) can so easily be overturned, then it can't be held as a true statement and becomes one of entitlement.
That kidnapping mom was out of her mind in a very bad and dark way and I'm just glad that Ellie had a nanny like the one she had because not everybody would have been able to respond in a similar fashion especially when faced with a gun probably for the first time in their life not to mention a crazy person holding it and pointing it at them. It makes total sense that the nanny was studying child psychology to help kids.
There are people in Japan that feel that only those born in Japan should be allowed to live there. I have seen people in Japan be asked that question, and I would say a good 20% say foreigners should stay out of the country. Even more, when asked is it okay for a Japanese to marry a non-Japanese person. Sadly, every country have those types of people.
Bonified has got to be one of the funniest typos ever omg 🤣
15:38 - 15:42 The statement "The courts have no right to say that I am unfit to be Elle's mother." is her admitting that she is in CONTEMPT of Court.
Unfortunately, she didn't say this when she was on the stand in court. There it would have counted.
K is for know-it-all wannabe,
A is for arrogant and aggressive,
R is for racist and bigoted,
E is for entitled and rude, and
N is for narcissistic.
Story 1. Outside cats should NOT be a thing full stop, having wiped out over 50 species, the non native "house cat" subsect of cats compete with humans for most animals made extinct due to lack of natural predators in many places. In places like australia with a sensitive ecosystem for example they are shoot on site pest animals but they're also invasive elsewhere too despite everyone drooling over them. Yes I like cats too but they are to remain inside and not killing off the local wildlife
My FIL used to do that. I don't appreciate his gleeful attitude about it, though.
I wouldn't be able to kill any cats here tbh, but I do wanna learn how to hunt rabbits. I honestly also adore rabbits and love them, but it's at least more normal in my head to hunt and eat them than it would be for cats. I wouldn't wanna kill anything I wouldn't then use.
I'd absolutely get in the way of someone trying to hurt someone's pet, or feral kittens (because they can still become someone's family) but, with a heavy heart, I gotta say I don't begrudge those that have treated feral cats as pests.
That 3rd story was frightening. OP didn't relinquish dominance for a second, and Karen still plunged ahead anyway. What the hell?
OP in the 3rd story already had my respect when they mentioned watching Talespin.
Anyone else audibly gasp when it was revealed the crazy mom pulled a gun on OP?
> I don't give a damn what the court says
Famous last words there lol
LOL karen got out smarted before she could shout her BS and try to steer the attention to her.
On the last story, Op you're NOT the butthole.
Story 4: That "karen" is a nightmare! I think she needs to be arrested & sent to prison for a long time for attempted kidnapping!😊
I don't understand why people allow their cats to go outside. I would make them an outdoor enclosure.
Catios are great! So is teaching your cats to go for walks on a harness and leash, or put them in pet bags you can walk around with
For story 3, I would've roasted her by saying "They're not kids, because if they were then that'd mean I'm married to you and thank god that I'm not."
Some people insist on keeping pets indoors but you can't tell others
In parts of Australia it's already becoming illegal to let your cats outside if they're below a certain age.
This is a good thing that should greatly benefit our unique and precious wildlife if enforced
Story two: Time for the universal language, upraised middle fingers.
First story: OP should make sure the great-grandkids' parents know that their kids are being rewarded for lying and stealing. This is the kind of lesson that can easily get out of hand and lead to teenagers/ young adults that get into a lot of trouble.
Mrs. B is a true hero.
Last story - I just find it funny that they claimed feeling “unsafe” Eh? I don’t see where anyone threatened her - other than telling her “no” and “wait your turn”. And neither of those cause harm.
In the last story, if the old lady was suggesting that the mother go in front of her that's fine no problem whatsoever but if the old lady was suggesting that the mom cut everyone in line to go up front then oh hell no! You can give away your space in line all day I have no problem with that but when you start volunteering Myspace inline yeah that's when we're going to have a problem
