SHE WAS CRAZY THEY SHOULD OF PRESS CHARGES ON HER AND she is now losing that pepper spray too for using weapon on innocent people and officers and who knows how many assault charges she got lol
Wait. . . They're of the human species? Going to add that this is 100% a joke because some people are stupid, can't take a joke or just want to cause drama
If you have good reason to believe someone is a terrorist, assaulting them is actually really fucking stupid. "Durr, I believe this person might be violent and possibly armed, let me attack them with my bare hands!"
Not to mention if the person WAS a terrorist, do you think they would have a problem "removing the threat" to their freedom? Dumb Karen is lucky she wasn't a terrorist!
Last Story, Please don't let your son interact with your horrible parents. Your son should NOT be able to have any form of contact with such manipulative people
Yeah I couldn’t believe it when she said that she stays in contact so that the son can know her. Why? Why would you want your son anywhere near that poisonous woman??? I can’t imagine ever having to go through my child being that sick but if they were then I would want whatever their last wish was to come true.
I totally agree 💯. But as a woman who has a similar condition to OP's when you're that sick it can be hard to do anything extra. Plus the police aren't exactly known for being kind to Muslims.
I don't want to bring politics into this, but THIS is why I still detest Bush and Trump so much. Just to get votes they fan the "us against them" crap and innocent people like this get hurt!! Would be amazing to see how quickly this country would come to a screeching halt if rich white people were assaulted in the store and accused of being a terrorist, had their headphones ripped out, arms jerked around etc 🙄🙄🤬
Yes. I agree. But she fucked herself over royally by trying to assault the police officers. And the reason they were called is mostlikely going to he tacked on regardless of whether or not op presses charges or not. She learns her lesson either way.
You should probably ask someone before throwing your sweater over their head. Muslims aren’t vampires who burst into flames if their heads are seen. But then again, I’m non Muslim and male. Please correct me if your knowledge is superior to mine in this matter (I mean the head covering, not the vampire thing).
@@daerdevvyl4314 think of it more like covering up a lady whose shirt got torn open or someone if their pants drop or something. It’s kinda like “oh shit cover them up quickly!” CHUCKING their sweater may not have been the most elegant reaction, but it was likely fueled by wanting to keep the op safe and covered.
Story 2: I'm pretty sure that attacking someone and accusing them of being a Terrorist is a Hate Crime, also Karen was EXTREMELY nuts, she tried to make someone hold OP down so she could assault OP with Pepperspray and then tries to Pepperspray the Cops for trying to stop her?! I hope this Karen got sent to an insane Asylum indefinitely
Always Press Charges! A similar attack in Texas resulted in Assault and Battery, False Imprisonment, Hate Crime, Disobeying a Peace Officer's Lawful Orders, Resisting Arrest and a whole load of other charges. I'm pretty sure this woman will receive the same treatment.
Story 4: I really wish that the kids in Make-a-Wish Stories would Stop listening to their abusive Parents and just do whatever they want, the "mom" literally said that she would never forgive OP if they hadn't given her a Free Expensive Vacay, these kind of "Parents" are some of the worst people on Earth
Really can't stand those people. Let the kid have their wish, and enjoy themselves. Actually went out of my way to rent an aircraft simulator because this Make a Wish kid wanted to ride in the cockpit so he could "watch the anime girl fly the airplane". Cant bring them on the flight deck, but I can sure take them in a simulator, assuming I'm not using it for official training anyway.
@@Kokomi552 and you know that c word would still defend him if he did something more serious like murder or assaulted someone she's that type of awful i'm willing to bet
The mother in the last story is a failure. How do you take your dying child's wish and make it about yourself? I don't have kids, but I imagine I'd sooner cut off my own arm than do what she did.
A woman where I lived actually ended up killing her daughter by pretending she was sick and having her hospitalized. She tried to do the same to a second child before they finally arrested her. She was sentenced in February to 16 yrs in prison, but that hardly seems like enough. Her name is Kelly Turner. She scammed over 22,000 dollars in donations, half a million in Medicaid, the Make a Wish Foundation, etc. She has Munchausen syndrome by proxy. Which I totally believe is a fancy way of saying narcissistic psychopath.
I heard more of those type of stories. An angel wanted to go on a cruise(her mothers wish, not the angels) and the angel died before that could happen. And even after that the disgusting mother wanted that trip.
I think Fluff said the Karen was a lawyer! You'd think she's want to pay the OP off quickly and this not getting to court as this would reflect on her (as let's be real, she only cares cause any records her son gets WILL show off her bad parenting!) but nope, instead she wants her dirty laundry aired! She's a lawyer yeah, but I'm guessing she's a BAD lawyer
Also: If money is not the issue because she is a lawyer... shouldn't she be glad, that they are only asking for the money value of the broken/missing items? In court the 17yo could end up with far worse: a criminal record (he stole from MULTIPLE cars!)
@@gecko2.617 That's why I said in my reply she must be a "BAD" Lawyer! It's stupid of her to not just force the idiot to apologize and compensate the loss (THAT's something my mother would do if me or my siblings did what this 17 year old loser did, since she doesn't play defending thieves! None of us would anyway... minus an ex adopted brother who was NOTORIOUS for doing something similar like this because of his TERRIBLE behavior and Kleptomania god those years since he was 10 when we adopted him to 25 when we disowned him were hell in securing OUR shit around him! But yeah, he never got away with it and since he received checks from SSI because of his mental conditions, he sure as hell could pay back what he broke or stole, we made DAMN well sure of that! At least his money was used wisely since otherwise, he freely wasted it on stupid shit like buying new clothes INSTEAD OF WASHING THE CLOTHES HE ALREADY HAD as an example of wasteful spending!)
@@tawnyacosta9091 Yeah, but from the kid's viewpoint he (I'm assuming) was sick enough that he got to Make A Wish, and now he has to fight his enititled Psycho Mom too. Really can't blame him for taking the path of least resistance.
@@audreyricci6383 I couldn't agree more after the shit show known as 2020 I was hoping that most of the Karen would have ended up dead with their stupidity
I was kinda hoping since OP had to go stay with her dad, the meet up with the band ended up in Barbados 🇧🇧 & Dad got to go with... Poor Poor mom n step-dad had to stay in Cold Canada 🇨🇦 😢
I have worked in the Emergency Department, as a Staff RN, not a NP. Still, if I had worked with this doctor, I would have offered him and his partner dinner with me and my wife, in the best restaurant he could find in town. There is no such thing as a commendation for an excellent physician other than in media, but even if nurses can rarely afford high end restaurants, this behavior should be acknowledged.
@@rickraber1249 "free" healthcare does not cover everything... In the province of Québec, you do have to pay for the ambulance ride... It's most likely the same thing in other provinces too.
Did anyone in Dr./ER story consider the possibility of Munchausen by proxy. If she was trying to convince others that the child was sick, she may be suffering Munchausen and then the daughter Would be in danger if there are frequent ER visits of that nature. Is that correct?
@@LakeWrangler Could be. However, a number of years ago in Ontario, those rides were free - to the point where some people called an ambulance to take them to a doctor appointment. I know this sounds pretty over the top, but consider what the gov't of Canada has done over the last couple of years under Trudeau. Strange things happen in socialist countries.
To be fair to with the asthma story, sometimes stuff doesn't get treated as seriously as it should. When I was a kid before I was diagnosed I kept having asthma attacks but by time we'd get to the doctor my brsathing issues and symptoms would go down enough that I'd seem fine and the doctor wouldn't believe my mom that something was wrong. I was playing and having fun so they're couldn't be anything wrong. The doctor even threatened to call social services on my mom because he thought she was making it up and he was tired of her "waiting his time". It wasn't until I collapsed on the floor in front of the doctor and started crying because I was struggling to breath that he finally believed my mom. They had to keep me in the hospital over night. The doctor who diagnosed me said it was lucky I was there or I could have died if I didn't get help right away. We ended up switching doctors and that doctor got in a lot of trouble because we'd been up there so many times and he'd dismiss my mom. Now I am a little biased due to multiple occasions of me and other family members going to a doctor because we don't feel well and getting ignored. My great aunt passed away from an illness that could have been treated had the doctors listen to her when she said she didn't feel well. Doctors maybe be trained professionals but only you know how you feel. If a doctor doesn't take you seriously despite you saying you don't feel well go to another doctor and get a second opinion. But in all fairness to the nurse and doctor in this story, the ER is full of people who need help right away and normally, unless you're dying in that moment, you're going to have to wait. Everyone knows that.
In your case that was a bad doctor. But this case is a whole different story. The mother didn't need to be so disrespectful and also could've just say something like "she seems fine now but she didn't a couple of minutes ago". How are the nurse and doctor supposed to know something was wrong when now everything seems perfectly fine?
@@Abraksas112 oh I agree. The mothers behavior was uncalled for. It's been a second since I've watched the video but I believe she took her kid to the emergency room, and in the ER, unless you're dying in that moment you're gonna have too wait a long time. Everyone knows that. The kid seemed fine and they couldn't really do anything at that moment. I would understand her being worried but not being rude. But I do keep in mind I wasn't there personally and I'm only hearing one side of a story.
The ambulance isn't just them being petty, they're covering their asses. If something happens DESPITE all the evidence to the contrary, ignoring the mother's complaints could lead to a malpractice suit. Now she's the hospital's problem.
Totally agree. Also reflect that the entitled mom will need to pay for the ambulance even if she decides not to drag her kid to the hospital after all...
@@Sathrand I once got a 480€ bill for my ride to the hospital as the doctor apperently didn't find that I needed the ambulance. Luckily I was able to straighten it out and the bill was canceled after I explained the whole situation and everything that happened. Had a high fever, barely able to move, the paramedic and emergency doctor (here in Germany sometimes and emergency doctor comes with the ambulance) had to carry me down since I wasn't able to myself. Yet the doctor at the hospital tought I could've driven myself lol. Next day my gerneral doctor called an ambulance for me pretty much immediatle when she saw me. Spent 8 days at the hospital after that.
Agreed, just because someone doesn't have any problems at the moment doesn't mean they didn't have any in the past. And also good for the doctor for actually listening to the nurse instead of listening solely to the mother. If he had ignored what the nurse was saying someone else could have had an even bigger issue and couldn't get help in time.
I'm very encouraged by the couple that helped OP in story #2. With all the news one hears about lunatic Karens its heartening to hear that some people have retained their sense of compassion.
Story 3: I feel bad for the paramedics who had to respond to Karen's False alarm, but maybe they could add Waste of Emergency Responders' time to her Hospital Bill
Serves the Karen right. Last couple times I had to use an ambulance here, they charged $1,000 each run. And I can imagine the ER doctor will not be pleased with wasting his/her time with an obviously healthy child. Karen will be paying the Stupid Tax! 😄
Especially if the doctor or nurse record the lack of signs/symptoms, lack of any justification for an ambulance or ED visit. Her tantrum is likely to cost her at leas $3K. Plus, of course the charge for the Urgent care charge which insurance might partially pay- Plus the charge for a new inhaler from the ED, with the usual 10X to 50X markup for meds you get from a hospital. I live OK, spending a lot less every month than this idiot spent in one night.
@@lancerevell5979 Maybe not - this is Canada where insurance is "free." People in Ontario a few years back were using ambulances to get to a doctor's appt., instead of taking the bus or a cab. I don't know if the rules on that changed since then.
@@rickraber1249 In Québec, it's about $150 or so... so partially covered by health care, and partially by the patient. They keep saying that things are deteriorating, in the health sector, so that more and more things end up costing extra. So it's very possible that they do have to pay something, even if it's not a lot, to take an ambulance in Ontario.
That Make a wish story reminds me of what the son of a family I worked for asked. He wanted a treehouse, someplace he could leave his train tracks out in. There were no trees big enough to hold a sizeable treehouse on their land so they helped him choose a sizable play house that he liked. Then the father and most of the rest of the family built a platform in one of the pastures of their land to place the playhouse on so it was closer to a treehouse. The structure was close to a tree and built to stand gale force winds as they live in an area that can see a lot of hurricanes. I decided to tell this story since you made the comment about hearing so many "Make a Wish" stories where entitled parents want to make it about them.
Story 4: My understanding was that Make-A-Wish had steps in place to prevent an entitled parent from stealing a wish since it could be considered fraud if it's not what the child wants. I've heard stories of Make-A-Wish going so far that if they suspect that the parent is making the decision they will completely withdraw the offer of a wish to protect to organization and future wishes. You know the whole "we don't negotiate with terrorists" thing.
3rd story: This reminds me of something that happened to my mom's dad during the mid-1970s. At that time, my grandpa was a doctor at a hospital connected with a major university in the Midwest. The university's football team had a starting quarterback who was very talented and later played professionally, but was horribly conceited. One day, when he needed a routine check-up, he strutted into the waiting room at the hospital and immediately went to the front of the long line of people waiting to talk to the receptionist. She politely but firmly told him he needed to go to the back of the line and wait his turn. "But I'm (his name)! I'm the starting quarterback!" he said indignantly. "And I'm Judy! I'm the receptionist at this office. It's nice to meet you. Now please go to the back of the line!" The conceited QB didn't like this, and made a fuss, insisting he needed to see the doctor right away. As luck would have it, my grandpa was the first doctor who was available to come to the reception desk. He listened to the situation, and back up the receptionist, much to the fury of the QB. The QB ended up storming out, and tried to organize a team boycott of the hospital. The head coach, however, was having none of it, and made the QB write a letter of apology to the receptionist.
Good for the receptionist, a routine checkup is a lot less severe than say, an asthma attack, where you can actually die. In a routine check up, they only need to check if there are any problems.
I could see that. Plus, over 90% of drivers are EMT or paramedic trained. OP used the correct term, though. It might be interesting to see if they charge extra for a needless call. Locally an ambulance can cost $1800 to $3000, but it's an exciting ride for a healthy child.
Damn, that's not how I hoped the last story ended. It should have been like 'My mom packed me up and sent me to my dad until I came to my senses...We still have no contact until this day and meeting the band(Jonas Brothers) was one of the major highlights of my life"
3rd Story: I think part of it was the hope that she would grab the child and leave, allowing for the Ambulance to be cancelled. Also, depending if it was the US (and a few other countries) she would have to pay for the Ambulance! Not to mention that she and her child would be in the middle of a whole bunch of sick people at the ER. (This is why I think that they were hoping that she would grab her daughter and run, between the sick people, the waiting time, and perhaps a bill).....
Hospitals have a certain code word to call security. The hospital I did clinicals at had "code Atlas." If a patient got like this, we were told to page "Dr. Atlas" and at least 4 security guards would come running
@@janet6421 There's a joke at my local VA hospital that if they ever call a "Code Pink" (kidnapping of a child) that they would have to announce various other codes, because even the few WW2 Vets would want to get in on the "action"!!! (Ensuring that the kidnapper understood why it was such a bad idea to kidnap a child anywhere, especially at a VA hospital!!)
The whole time listening to Story 4, I was seething. It's bad enough when an EP pulls this with a healthy kid, but one that's fighting a disease they have only a 20% chance of beating? That's unforgivable. And rubbing it in years later? I would have no contact permanently at that time.
Story 2: thumbs up for those two for helping OP, they definitely knew how to help people, not only did they help OP by helping them cover up, but also by putting some distance between them and the Karen, especially since OP was clearly having an attack of some kind. If it was me, I would give OP my jacket so they can cover their head, and get them away from Karen, then when there's a good enough distance, I'll get the manager and informing them of what's going on.
On the last story about the Make-A-Wish, wish. *EVERY* country needs to pass a law making a major crime for parents, caretakers, et cetera to pressure a Make-A-Wish recipient to ask for *ANYTHING* but what *THEY* want.
That last story...yet another example of an abuse victim being unable to break away from their abusers and never even realizing that they are abused. I hope that she is able to cut all contact with those awful people if she ever realizes.
Oh my...the second story, that Karen was insane. So thankfull that couple was there to help OP. I work with many ladies that wear headscarves, horrifying to think of them being treated like this.
The last story almost made me cry. If my sick child could do anything...anything they could imagine...I don't care if they picked swimming with sharks (my worst nightmare)...I would do it.
I smiled when the doc said he was calling an ambulance too, because we all know how that's going to end: not only will the wait be even longer, but the daughter will be taken to the hospital for no reason and Karen will have to pay through her nose for nothing.
I really do hope she got that nice upgrade... She clearly deserves also to stay for a very very long time in a very cosy white jacket and in a nice room in the next clynic for veeery special people
how can you, as a PARENT, hijack the MakeAWish of your OWN child becuase you're that freaking dense? I love this channel, but with each story i die a littel more inside at the stupidity of the Human nature
...there's also a new tick tock challenge apparently called the angel of death. What's the challenge? Jump out in the path of a vehicles and see if it stops...yes I'm serious. Why are we humans so DUMB
Story 1: As told? Nope, the only AHs are the thief and his mother. Him for being an unrepentant thief, and his mother for expecting that all he needs to do is give an insincere apology to be let off the hook...and then INSULTING the victim of her son's crime for daring to expect compensation for the material harm done! Story 2: What is it with entitled people zeroing in on people with health issues? Do they have a sixth sense? Story 3: I have to wonder what it is that mother actually wanted. What was her game, when she clearly knew her child wasn't so sick that she needed an ambulance? What did she want out of this badly enough to take her healthy daughter to a clinic and demand she be taken in to see a doctor? As to the pettiness of the doctor and nurse in calling the ambulance... yes...and no. Consider that, had they actually been wrong and the mother truly knew her daughter well enough to know something was imminently wrong, they'd have been in huge trouble for refusing to take the mother seriously. Story 4: "Can you imagine? I'd have never forgiven you, and that would be your fault!" Yikes.
Story 3: Mom was probably looking for a prescription renewal for the kid. She came into the clinic, realized there would be a long wait so she made up the "my child is in respiratory distress" story to try to jump the line. That is also why she didn't go to the hospital - you don't get a prescription renewal in the emergency room.
Story 2: "This Walmart is a Karen beacon." Aren't they all? But how about that Karen? They always try to invoke or pretend to be some authority figure to reinforce their little power trips. So this time she couldn't call the police so she invoked the next higher power (the FBI) Story 3: Karens do love to cut in lines. I love how the doctor here cut her down.
I don’t think that it’s a problem of her child can do no wrong. The way she backs him up makes me think she was either in on it, or behind it (the stealing). The fact that she is a lawyer may have something to do with why the boy wasn’t already arrested.
@@gtaisgreat8385 yeah I would think that would kind of be...a standard thing they would do? Lock the doors like everyone else does?... I'd honestly like to see someone try to justify why they didn't just to have a laugh at the mental gymnastics
Story 2: The irony of grabbing what you think is a terrorist, is strong enough in itself. No one who does this Actually believes the other person is dangerous or the wouldn't assult them, its purely hate fueled.
2nd Story: The Very FIRST Thing that the First Amendment PROTECTS is Freedom Of Religion!!! Also, there are a few Christian and other Non-Muslim religions where it is normal for a woman (15+ years of age) to wear a headscarf, Especially during Religious Holidays!!
And most Muslims are very peaceful and pleasant people! But there are always a few bad apple extremists in any religion that paint a bad picture for the entirety of it.
Story 4: my 14 year old cousin was diagnosed with leukemia. She went through with her treatments, and while she was at MD Anderson in Houston, she caught a cold. She was supposed to do a make a wish however, she was comatose and never recovered, and sadly passed away a few months later.
I'm an ice queen, but I definitely teared up at the couple coming to our hero's aid from that insane racist nitwit. 🥺 caring enough to try covering her head, walking her out and staying with her until they were sure she was safe.... man that got me. I try to maintain some faith in humanity by seeing the three lovely people in that story in exchange for the single nutjob.
First story : 1: NTA 2: “Kid” is 17 and stealing from multiple vehicles. In many states that is burglary, a felony, and he can be charged as an adult and in juvenile hall until 18, then state prison for the rest of his sentence. Mom and kid need a hard lesson!
That would've required empathy. And a soul. Plus...she didn't want to PAY to go to Barbados. Heavens no! She DESERVED the FREE trip. It was beyond just childish. That "mom" is a real piece of work. And by 'work' I mean SHIT. They'd been blessed if she'd been eaten by a shark while on vacay..
I’m convinced this is why we haven’t been visited by aliens yet. Because if they come and they do something a Karen doesn’t like, they’ll get an earful.
Yeah. I’m blonde, and it seriously seems like my family thinks I’m dumb. I’m not. I’m actually quite smart, so I really hate it when family members talk to me like I need every little detail explained to me. I might have moments when I can be a little dense, but that doesn’t mean every single day is going to be like that. We need to tear down the “dumb blonde” stereotype. 9 times out of 10, it’s inaccurate.
I lost my husband to cancer in April. He was diagnosed during the time everything was locked up, so we couldn't go out to eat after his diagnosis. Wasn't until this March that we finally went out. I would have loved to have gone to a different restaurant, but it was his favorite one. We managed to go twice before he could no longer go out. In fact, I think the second time we went may have been the last time he ate a full meal. I'm glad that he got to go where he wanted. If he had been able to go on a trip, it also would have been where he wanted. After all, I'm still alive and can go wherever I want. He no longer has that chance.
How could someone pull the hajib from a woman's head? Thank god there were two people to recognize the horrible act and step in to help the only way they knew. That's like stripping the habit from a nun and leaving her standing naked.
In the 2nd story I was so relieved to hear about the woman & her husband that helped OP! Seriously WTF kind of human garbage tears a woman's head scarf off? I know the woman pulled off the headscarf because of the woman's religion which is beyond wrong but what would that woman have said if the woman wearing a head scarf was because of something like cancer treatments? WTF is wrong with people that they think they have a right to put hands on another person? I hope that woman was not only charged with assault but also a hate crime! This kind of crap needs to stop!!
If I ever end up having kids, and one of them has something like cancer, or some serious illness, where there’s a high likelihood of said child passing away, and that kid qualifies for Make-A-Wish, I would make sure that kid got whatever wish they wanted, as long as it was doable by Make-A-Wish. I’d make sure that the child got what they wanted, because me seeing my kid happy would be more important than anything in the world.
So, I'm guessing the Karen with the asthmatic child wanted a free inhaler since she said the current one was empty. I hope that ambulance ride isn't cheap, and she has to pay every penny.
some one pulled the "i am a single parent " on me i replied wow pregnancy is hard to catch, easy to avoid and if you do catch it there is abortion to help cure you, so having a kid is your choice now deal with it
The last story....triggering for me, due to the disrespect and not caring about her own child's wants, desires, or feelings. On Sept 1, 2021, on of my twin sons transitioned to Spirit just 6 weeks before their 16th birthday, and it's been 16 months now and I'm crying because people like her not only take advantage of having children, to enrich only their own lives, whilst there are parents out here like me, who have children that have also transitioned to Spirit, and only wish they had the chance to let their child/children have a last wish, and to cherish every second with their child/children even more, knowing there may not be a tomorrow in their immediate future. When your child is gone from earth due to suddenly something out of their control/knowledge, or with some one doing something to them, or from medical issues no doctor ever diagnosed because there are no symptoms until cardiac arrest and death from the damage done, {what happened to my precious son} a parent is taken completely by surprise. There are so many thoughts of I wish we'd known at least a little time ahead type thing. Even though something that is known about and trying to be fought medically but they don't look like good chances is agony I am sure, often you at least have time to process and cherish more, until you possibly 'lose' them. And you have some time of hope that maybe a treatment will work, and you at least are not taken off guard and out of the blue. However, I'm sure spending months or years watching your child slowly get worse must be incredibly difficult to maintain yourself with said child and travel that awful road of limbo for so long without letting it hurt your child more to see that. Must be horrible for most parents..for parents that actually love their children, that is. The fact that she had that chance, and fore knowledge, that time was short for the child quite possibly, and hijacked her child's last wish, for her own desires is the most disgusting thing from a parent, and the saddest thing for that child. Still crying, thinking I wish we'd known the twins had this awful thing Brugada, but not even doctors during surgeries they've had, had any clue something was amiss in their hearts. We would have happily cared for him our entire lives, had he lived but had serious damage that limited him in any way. Yet we lost our son without him being able to even get a last wish and leaving behind a twin, and people like her...they steal it from their own child and get to have a happy life event even if her child died or not. Doesn't seem like she'd be too broken up for very long, for some reason. It's wrong enough for a parent's child to physically die before themselves, but wronger still, a child having a parent that values their own happiness far above their own dying child's happiness. Absolutely not fair, is it? Not for that child, not for us parents who lost children in tragic ways without that opportunity...only that selfish a parent wins. So much more time I wish I'd had with my son, and would give up everything I own which isn't much but would totally give away, to have him alive back on earth. What a despicable 'mother' she is. She doesn't deserve children or pets...ever again. Some people should not be parents.
The clinic story: the physician and nurse acted properly. The mother had already stated her willingness to sue, and by transferring the child under EMS conditions, they provided the best assurance that if a truly emergent condition occurred, treatment was available. Any action of acceding to her entitlement would only enable future misbehavior. The ambulance bill may not have been desirable to the mother, but she painted herself and everyone else into that corner.
Fluff, for the EMT story, I think it wasn't just the pettiness of the doctor and nurse, but also them teaching her a lesson that ifshe claims something so serious, that there are going to be serious reactions like a full on trip to the ED?
Story 1: Well played OP for having the receipt on your phone. Who else thinks there should be "karen laws" put in place? Police departments and the courts are tired of them, too.
As someone who has an EMT as a best friend, the EMTs complaining about this are just upset that they might have been the ones to deal with her. As the Dr in the story put it, IF the child was indeed in danger, your certification would be on the line. You MAY win your case, but your record would be forever stained with that case. Yes, this was a waste of resources. But also calling the cops to remove her from the building since we ALL know she wouldn't leave on her own would ALSO be a waste of resources. Embaresment alone often isnt punishment enough for these Karens. They need REAL punishment. Like hospital bills and ambulance bills after finally getting what she wanted. And possible fines for incorrect use of emergancy resources. When Karen's get involved with hospitals, nobody wins. It would either be EMTs or cops. SOMEBODY is having a bad day and wasting their time and energy on this Karen. Dont complain just because you COULD HAVE been the ones who had to deal with her.
I must confess I don't get the Make A Wish woman wanting her child to have a relationship with that horrid mother & step-dad. As they are that rotten, shouldn't the instincts of a loving mother be to protect her child from them?
What are you even talking about? There was no 'loving mother' in this story, only a manipulative, selfish woman who used her child for her own gains. The Make A Wish correspondent wanted the child to do what he wanted, which was meet his favorite band, it was the mother who coerced the kid into going to Barbados with threats and 'poor me' behavior. Make A Wish was behind the kid all the way, it was the selfish mother that betrayed her child. Make A Wish is not 'rotten', they have helped thousands of ill children with their wishes and brought some light into their difficult lives
If my parents behaved like those last "parents", there is no way on God's green earth I'd let them anywhere near any child of mine. What is she thinking?
Thank goodness for the couple in the Karen attacks woman with head scarf story. Big kudos for the woman to know the best way to handle the situation with keeping her hair from being seen. It's people like them that make America great.
If only the doctor was around when I was younger. Then my mom would have gotten me help sooner because a mother knows. Instead it took awhile for her to find a doctor who would believe her that something was wrong
Props to the couple that helped the woman that had her headscarf torn off. They are amazing humans!! Knew to help cover her head, protected her from further attack!!!! Awesome response to horrible Karen behaviour
The son in the 1st story knew right from wrong & still chose to steal! Also Ray Bans are NOT inexpensive sunglasses my bag was stolen a few months ago & my Ray Bans (that were a gift) were stolen it cost me almost $235 to replace just the 1 pair! My husband & I live paycheck to paycheck so replacing those sunglasses which I forgot to mention were an xmas gift from my FIL from the last xmas he celebrated before he died! Stealing is just bs & if I had caught the crotch goblin that stole my bag containing such a prized gift I would have had zero problem pressing charges! OP didn't do that entitled little crotch goblin any favors by not pressing charges!
Can I just say how wholesome it is that in Story 2, both the man and his wife bothered to educate themselves enough to know that OP isn't really supposed to touch other men outside her blood relatives, so he hands the scarf to his wife to hand to OP, and the fact that the wife tries to shield OP while she puts her scarf on, reminds me of that video of the women's soccer game where one player accidentally pulls on the other's Hijab and the opposing players shield her from the public while she fixes it. Like, so wholesome and kudos to those people, hearing things like that, momentarily staves off my feeling of doom for humanity.
5:20 that’s a really thoughtful aspect that wouldn’t have even occurred to me, covering her hair until she can get situated to re-cover herself ^^’ my intervention would’ve been trying to get the crazy lady away from her, then retrieving and returning the scarf - that couple stepping in were really lovely
The last story got my blood boiling. The make a wish is for the child NOT for you Karen i hope people where op lived found out what happened and shamed that women for that stunt i always want to smash my phone in a rage whenever a story about a Karen trying to make the make a wish kid do something with there wish for Karen instead of them every time
The make a wish story really hit home for me. Especially the end where she fosters a relationship between her kid and his grandparents. I did that. In part because I'd always blamed myself for how they were. Even if the situation were clear as a bell NOT my fault, I blamed some sort of weird relationship dynamic that couldn't be helped. Gaslighting is a hell of a drug. Well, my kids got to know their grandparents very well. And it's not good. Turns out that I wasn't the problem at all. They were. But I can't say if I did the right thing or not. On the one hand, my kids were hurt. Many times in many ways. On the other hand, they're wiser and stronger for it. Had I denied them the relationships they would've blamed me for never knowing their grandparents, not understood why. I always left it up to them and when my daughter had enough, she had my support 100%. In a weird way, the situation uncovered a really wonderful thing about my son's outlook on people. Turns out he was narcissist proof. He saw clearly, even at a young age, what these people were made of, realized that there was something wrong with them that made them 'mean', and offered them tolerance, patience, and forgiveness. He never allowed himself to take it personally. He could no more be angry at their abuse then he would with a wounded hurt cat lashing out. In his mind, they were wounded, confused animals.
Story #2 really got to me as I live in Portland Oregon & in 2017 a man was on a MAX train, harassing 2 teenage Muslim girls with racial slurs & the whole 9 yards, 3 men stepped in to defend the girls & 2 of the 3 were stabbed to death with the 3rd being severely injured. They caught the “man”, he went to trial & is serving a life sentence for it.
Wasn't someone in America convicted of a hate crime for ripping off a Muslim woman's headscarf in public. I kinda remember a story from a couple of years back about it (I live in the UK so this story was covered by the BBC) Edit: Looked it up. It was in Portland, Oregon in 2020
Several Americans, mostly middle-aged whites, have been arrested for attacking people in "foreign" clothing. Headscarves, turbans, tunics, even unusual looking shoes have sparked incidents. There's a large Sikh and Hindu population in my area, and they get discriminated against by whites fairly often... said snobby white people forget that the city chief of police is of Filipino descent, and the county sheriff is half Vietnamese.
In the last story the OP should go no contact with her narcissistic parents--depriving their kid of what could have been her very last thing she did on Earth, sheesh! Her kid shouldn't be subjected to those awful people.
She should have cut contact. Her “mother” never loved her and her son doesn’t need a grandmother so badly that it’s worth being around a monster. I hope she at least is teaching him how evil her mother is so if he starts dating someone like that someday he knows that such behavior is something to run away from rather than normal, acceptable behavior.
I once stole a lego Batman mini figure from school (it was a small, cheap set that was bought by the school’s counsellor) when I was like, 12, I think. I’m 20 and I still feel bad about it
Oh, my dear Fluff. Like the Canadian nurse in the clinic story, we EMTs and paramedics go through a lot of training and I can assure you that training entails more than just driving an ambulance. That being said, I certainly wouldn't have minded doing such a transfer once to the whole story.
Story 2: I agree OP should have pressed charges on the crazy entitled karen, I'm glad the nice man and lady came to help her and make sure OP was alright before they had to catch the bus. 🙏
As someone who works in the Ambulance service and would be annoyed at the doctors on attending this call. However if the doctor explained the situation to me on my arrival, I’d happily play along and make sure they were kept waiting as long as possible.
Last story. Parents who think that their kids owe them for everything that they did for them, are the worst. Doing things for your kids is what being a parent is all about and what you are supposed to do. If people choose to bring kids into the world it's 100% their decision and you get what you're given and do everything that you can to help them in life. Kids have no say in who their parents are and therefore owe them nothing. However if the kids then decide to have kids when the time comes the same will apply to them.
I am flabbergasted at this Karen! "Look, a woman minding her own damn business, letb me make her life hell at this moment!" Wtf?! This is crazy. I'm glad she got tackled and I hope she got jail time So glad for the helpers in this situation! Good on them!
Always press charges against a Karen. It’s the only way to slow them down from dragging humanity down the toilet
and also only lesson they can learn from, for their self and their kids actions.
SHE WAS CRAZY THEY SHOULD OF PRESS CHARGES ON HER AND she is now losing that pepper spray too for using weapon on innocent people and officers and who knows how many assault charges she got lol

Karen’s are honestly an embarrassment to the human species
So true.🤣

STRAIGHT UP FACTS!
Karen's are a walking argument for eugenics.
Wait. . . They're of the human species?
Going to add that this is 100% a joke because some people are stupid, can't take a joke or just want to cause drama
Story 2: even if you DO falsely believe someone is a terrorist, that does NOT give you the right to grab ANYONE
If you have good reason to believe someone is a terrorist, assaulting them is actually really fucking stupid. "Durr, I believe this person might be violent and possibly armed, let me attack them with my bare hands!"
If it had been a terrorist, it probably would have ended badly for the person that grabbed them.
Not to mention, if they are a terrorist, do you REALLY want them to hate you on a personal level? Cause that's the best way to get killed.
No joke what is it that makes these people think they can just put their hands on others!?
Not to mention if the person WAS a terrorist, do you think they would have a problem "removing the threat" to their freedom? Dumb Karen is lucky she wasn't a terrorist!
Last Story, Please don't let your son interact with your horrible parents. Your son should NOT be able to have any form of contact with such manipulative people
Yeah I couldn’t believe it when she said that she stays in contact so that the son can know her. Why? Why would you want your son anywhere near that poisonous woman??? I can’t imagine ever having to go through my child being that sick but if they were then I would want whatever their last wish was to come true.
ALWAYS PRESS CHARGES! This woman is attacking everyone with any traditional muslim or Sikh attire. Add all charges
I totally agree 💯. But as a woman who has a similar condition to OP's when you're that sick it can be hard to do anything extra. Plus the police aren't exactly known for being kind to Muslims.
You can always press charges later.
I don't want to bring politics into this, but THIS is why I still detest Bush and Trump so much. Just to get votes they fan the "us against them" crap and innocent people like this get hurt!! Would be amazing to see how quickly this country would come to a screeching halt if rich white people were assaulted in the store and accused of being a terrorist, had their headphones ripped out, arms jerked around etc 🙄🙄🤬
I often wear a headscarf, many Jewish women do.
Yes. I agree.
But she fucked herself over royally by trying to assault the police officers. And the reason they were called is mostlikely going to he tacked on regardless of whether or not op presses charges or not. She learns her lesson either way.
Props to the woman in the second story to know exactly what to do in a situation like what happened to OP!
Yes I thought so too.
I almost cried because of how she handled it (good cry)
@@Kristina-rv2ej The couple were both very sensitive.
You should probably ask someone before throwing your sweater over their head. Muslims aren’t vampires who burst into flames if their heads are seen. But then again, I’m non Muslim and male. Please correct me if your knowledge is superior to mine in this matter (I mean the head covering, not the vampire thing).
@@daerdevvyl4314 think of it more like covering up a lady whose shirt got torn open or someone if their pants drop or something. It’s kinda like “oh shit cover them up quickly!” CHUCKING their sweater may not have been the most elegant reaction, but it was likely fueled by wanting to keep the op safe and covered.
Story 2: I'm pretty sure that attacking someone and accusing them of being a Terrorist is a Hate Crime,
also Karen was EXTREMELY nuts, she tried to make someone hold OP down so she could assault OP with Pepperspray and then tries to Pepperspray the Cops for trying to stop her?!
I hope this Karen got sent to an insane Asylum indefinitely
Always Press Charges! A similar attack in Texas resulted in Assault and Battery, False Imprisonment, Hate Crime, Disobeying a Peace Officer's Lawful Orders, Resisting Arrest and a whole load of other charges. I'm pretty sure this woman will receive the same treatment.

Cant bring them on the flight deck, but I can sure take them in a simulator, assuming I'm not using it for official training anyway.
Story one. The kid is 17, pretty sure he could be charged as an adult if OP or anyone else he stole from pursued legal action. OP is NTA for sure

@@H-to-O This is probably why she became a lawyer
@@Kokomi552 and you know that c word would still defend him if he did something more serious like murder or assaulted someone she's that type of awful i'm willing to bet
The mother in the last story is a failure. How do you take your dying child's wish and make it about yourself? I don't have kids, but I imagine I'd sooner cut off my own arm than do what she did.
That poor excuse for a human should be neutered.
Exactly, where's the decency.
I wish it was less common of an attitude, for sure
A woman where I lived actually ended up killing her daughter by pretending she was sick and having her hospitalized. She tried to do the same to a second child before they finally arrested her. She was sentenced in February to 16 yrs in prison, but that hardly seems like enough. Her name is Kelly Turner. She scammed over 22,000 dollars in donations, half a million in Medicaid, the Make a Wish Foundation, etc. She has Munchausen syndrome by proxy. Which I totally believe is a fancy way of saying narcissistic psychopath.
I heard more of those type of stories. An angel wanted to go on a cruise(her mothers wish, not the angels) and the angel died before that could happen. And even after that the disgusting mother wanted that trip.
1st story: NTA. Karen was probably upset not that her son stole...no...she's more upset he got caught before they checked out.
I think Fluff said the Karen was a lawyer! You'd think she's want to pay the OP off quickly and this not getting to court as this would reflect on her (as let's be real, she only cares cause any records her son gets WILL show off her bad parenting!) but nope, instead she wants her dirty laundry aired! She's a lawyer yeah, but I'm guessing she's a BAD lawyer
Also: If money is not the issue because she is a lawyer... shouldn't she be glad, that they are only asking for the money value of the broken/missing items? In court the 17yo could end up with far worse: a criminal record (he stole from MULTIPLE cars!)

@@gecko2.617 That's why I said in my reply she must be a "BAD" Lawyer! It's stupid of her to not just force the idiot to apologize and compensate the loss (THAT's something my mother would do if me or my siblings did what this 17 year old loser did, since she doesn't play defending thieves! None of us would anyway... minus an ex adopted brother who was NOTORIOUS for doing something similar like this because of his TERRIBLE behavior and Kleptomania god those years since he was 10 when we adopted him to 25 when we disowned him were hell in securing OUR shit around him! But yeah, he never got away with it and since he received checks from SSI because of his mental conditions, he sure as hell could pay back what he broke or stole, we made DAMN well sure of that! At least his money was used wisely since otherwise, he freely wasted it on stupid shit like buying new clothes INSTEAD OF WASHING THE CLOTHES HE ALREADY HAD as an example of wasteful spending!)

I was kinda hoping since OP had to go stay with her dad, the meet up with the band ended up in Barbados 🇧🇧 & Dad got to go with... Poor Poor mom n step-dad had to stay in Cold Canada 🇨🇦 😢
That doctor and nurse story. When the doctor was speaking with the nurse. I could feel the malicious compliance oozing from them.
I have worked in the Emergency Department, as a Staff RN, not a NP. Still, if I had worked with this doctor, I would have offered him and his partner dinner with me and my wife, in the best restaurant he could find in town. There is no such thing as a commendation for an excellent physician other than in media, but even if nurses can rarely afford high end restaurants, this behavior should be acknowledged.
This happened in Canada where they have "free" medical. I wonder if she'd even have to pay for the ambulance ride.
@@rickraber1249 "free" healthcare does not cover everything... In the province of Québec, you do have to pay for the ambulance ride... It's most likely the same thing in other provinces too.
Did anyone in Dr./ER story consider the possibility of Munchausen by proxy. If she was trying to convince others that the child was sick, she may be suffering Munchausen and then the daughter Would be in danger if there are frequent ER visits of that nature. Is that correct?
@@LakeWrangler Could be. However, a number of years ago in Ontario, those rides were free - to the point where some people called an ambulance to take them to a doctor appointment. I know this sounds pretty over the top, but consider what the gov't of Canada has done over the last couple of years under Trudeau. Strange things happen in socialist countries.
To be fair to with the asthma story, sometimes stuff doesn't get treated as seriously as it should. When I was a kid before I was diagnosed I kept having asthma attacks but by time we'd get to the doctor my brsathing issues and symptoms would go down enough that I'd seem fine and the doctor wouldn't believe my mom that something was wrong. I was playing and having fun so they're couldn't be anything wrong. The doctor even threatened to call social services on my mom because he thought she was making it up and he was tired of her "waiting his time". It wasn't until I collapsed on the floor in front of the doctor and started crying because I was struggling to breath that he finally believed my mom. They had to keep me in the hospital over night. The doctor who diagnosed me said it was lucky I was there or I could have died if I didn't get help right away. We ended up switching doctors and that doctor got in a lot of trouble because we'd been up there so many times and he'd dismiss my mom. Now I am a little biased due to multiple occasions of me and other family members going to a doctor because we don't feel well and getting ignored. My great aunt passed away from an illness that could have been treated had the doctors listen to her when she said she didn't feel well. Doctors maybe be trained professionals but only you know how you feel. If a doctor doesn't take you seriously despite you saying you don't feel well go to another doctor and get a second opinion. But in all fairness to the nurse and doctor in this story, the ER is full of people who need help right away and normally, unless you're dying in that moment, you're going to have to wait. Everyone knows that.
In your case that was a bad doctor. But this case is a whole different story. The mother didn't need to be so disrespectful and also could've just say something like "she seems fine now but she didn't a couple of minutes ago". How are the nurse and doctor supposed to know something was wrong when now everything seems perfectly fine?
@@Abraksas112 oh I agree. The mothers behavior was uncalled for. It's been a second since I've watched the video but I believe she took her kid to the emergency room, and in the ER, unless you're dying in that moment you're gonna have too wait a long time. Everyone knows that. The kid seemed fine and they couldn't really do anything at that moment. I would understand her being worried but not being rude. But I do keep in mind I wasn't there personally and I'm only hearing one side of a story.
The ambulance isn't just them being petty, they're covering their asses. If something happens DESPITE all the evidence to the contrary, ignoring the mother's complaints could lead to a malpractice suit. Now she's the hospital's problem.
Totally agree. Also reflect that the entitled mom will need to pay for the ambulance even if she decides not to drag her kid to the hospital after all...
The charges for an unneeded ambulance ride here in Canada suck too haha
@@Sathrand I didn't know that they charged for using services needlessly. That's a good idea.
@@Sathrand I once got a 480€ bill for my ride to the hospital as the doctor apperently didn't find that I needed the ambulance. Luckily I was able to straighten it out and the bill was canceled after I explained the whole situation and everything that happened.
Had a high fever, barely able to move, the paramedic and emergency doctor (here in Germany sometimes and emergency doctor comes with the ambulance) had to carry me down since I wasn't able to myself. Yet the doctor at the hospital tought I could've driven myself lol.
Next day my gerneral doctor called an ambulance for me pretty much immediatle when she saw me. Spent 8 days at the hospital after that.
Agreed, just because someone doesn't have any problems at the moment doesn't mean they didn't have any in the past. And also good for the doctor for actually listening to the nurse instead of listening solely to the mother. If he had ignored what the nurse was saying someone else could have had an even bigger issue and couldn't get help in time.
I'm very encouraged by the couple that helped OP in story #2. With all the news one hears about lunatic Karens its heartening to hear that some people have retained their sense of compassion.
Story 3: I feel bad for the paramedics who had to respond to Karen's False alarm, but maybe they could add Waste of Emergency Responders' time to her Hospital Bill
Insurance can determine a non emergency, and a threat or single visit by ambulance may emphasize true emergency.
Serves the Karen right. Last couple times I had to use an ambulance here, they charged $1,000 each run. And I can imagine the ER doctor will not be pleased with wasting his/her time with an obviously healthy child. Karen will be paying the Stupid Tax! 😄
Especially if the doctor or nurse record the lack of signs/symptoms, lack of any justification for an ambulance or ED visit. Her tantrum is likely to cost her at leas $3K. Plus, of course the charge for the Urgent care charge which insurance might partially pay- Plus the charge for a new inhaler from the ED, with the usual 10X to 50X markup for meds you get from a hospital. I live OK, spending a lot less every month than this idiot spent in one night.
@@lancerevell5979 Maybe not - this is Canada where insurance is "free." People in Ontario a few years back were using ambulances to get to a doctor's appt., instead of taking the bus or a cab. I don't know if the rules on that changed since then.
@@rickraber1249 In Québec, it's about $150 or so... so partially covered by health care, and partially by the patient. They keep saying that things are deteriorating, in the health sector, so that more and more things end up costing extra. So it's very possible that they do have to pay something, even if it's not a lot, to take an ambulance in Ontario.
That Make a wish story reminds me of what the son of a family I worked for asked. He wanted a treehouse, someplace he could leave his train tracks out in. There were no trees big enough to hold a sizeable treehouse on their land so they helped him choose a sizable play house that he liked. Then the father and most of the rest of the family built a platform in one of the pastures of their land to place the playhouse on so it was closer to a treehouse. The structure was close to a tree and built to stand gale force winds as they live in an area that can see a lot of hurricanes.
I decided to tell this story since you made the comment about hearing so many "Make a Wish" stories where entitled parents want to make it about them.
Story 4: My understanding was that Make-A-Wish had steps in place to prevent an entitled parent from stealing a wish since it could be considered fraud if it's not what the child wants. I've heard stories of Make-A-Wish going so far that if they suspect that the parent is making the decision they will completely withdraw the offer of a wish to protect to organization and future wishes. You know the whole "we don't negotiate with terrorists" thing.
3rd story: This reminds me of something that happened to my mom's dad during the mid-1970s. At that time, my grandpa was a doctor at a hospital connected with a major university in the Midwest. The university's football team had a starting quarterback who was very talented and later played professionally, but was horribly conceited. One day, when he needed a routine check-up, he strutted into the waiting room at the hospital and immediately went to the front of the long line of people waiting to talk to the receptionist. She politely but firmly told him he needed to go to the back of the line and wait his turn. "But I'm (his name)! I'm the starting quarterback!" he said indignantly.
"And I'm Judy! I'm the receptionist at this office. It's nice to meet you. Now please go to the back of the line!"
The conceited QB didn't like this, and made a fuss, insisting he needed to see the doctor right away. As luck would have it, my grandpa was the first doctor who was available to come to the reception desk. He listened to the situation, and back up the receptionist, much to the fury of the QB. The QB ended up storming out, and tried to organize a team boycott of the hospital. The head coach, however, was having none of it, and made the QB write a letter of apology to the receptionist.
Good for the receptionist, a routine checkup is a lot less severe than say, an asthma attack, where you can actually die. In a routine check up, they only need to check if there are any problems.
You know what else upsets EMS crews? Being called "Ambulance Drivers."
I could see that. Plus, over 90% of drivers are EMT or paramedic trained. OP used the correct term, though. It might be interesting to see if they charge extra for a needless call. Locally an ambulance can cost $1800 to $3000, but it's an exciting ride for a healthy child.

Damn, that's not how I hoped the last story ended. It should have been like 'My mom packed me up and sent me to my dad until I came to my senses...We still have no contact until this day and meeting the band(Jonas Brothers) was one of the major highlights of my life"
3rd Story: I think part of it was the hope that she would grab the child and leave, allowing for the Ambulance to be cancelled. Also, depending if it was the US (and a few other countries) she would have to pay for the Ambulance! Not to mention that she and her child would be in the middle of a whole bunch of sick people at the ER. (This is why I think that they were hoping that she would grab her daughter and run, between the sick people, the waiting time, and perhaps a bill).....
Hospitals have a certain code word to call security. The hospital I did clinicals at had "code Atlas." If a patient got like this, we were told to page "Dr. Atlas" and at least 4 security guards would come running
@@janet6421 There's a joke at my local VA hospital that if they ever call a "Code Pink" (kidnapping of a child) that they would have to announce various other codes, because even the few WW2 Vets would want to get in on the "action"!!! (Ensuring that the kidnapper understood why it was such a bad idea to kidnap a child anywhere, especially at a VA hospital!!)
OP mentioned in the beginning of the story 3 that it's a Canadian city
The whole time listening to Story 4, I was seething. It's bad enough when an EP pulls this with a healthy kid, but one that's fighting a disease they have only a 20% chance of beating? That's unforgivable. And rubbing it in years later? I would have no contact permanently at that time.
Story 2: thumbs up for those two for helping OP, they definitely knew how to help people, not only did they help OP by helping them cover up, but also by putting some distance between them and the Karen, especially since OP was clearly having an attack of some kind. If it was me, I would give OP my jacket so they can cover their head, and get them away from Karen, then when there's a good enough distance, I'll get the manager and informing them of what's going on.
On the last story about the Make-A-Wish, wish. *EVERY* country needs to pass a law making a major crime for parents, caretakers, et cetera to pressure a Make-A-Wish recipient to ask for *ANYTHING* but what *THEY* want.
That last story...yet another example of an abuse victim being unable to break away from their abusers and never even realizing that they are abused. I hope that she is able to cut all contact with those awful people if she ever realizes.
In story 3, after the doctor said "Nurse, please call the ambulance," OP should have turned to the lady, and said, "You're an ambulance." 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Oh my...the second story, that Karen was insane. So thankfull that couple was there to help OP. I work with many ladies that wear headscarves, horrifying to think of them being treated like this.
The last story almost made me cry. If my sick child could do anything...anything they could imagine...I don't care if they picked swimming with sharks (my worst nightmare)...I would do it.
I smiled when the doc said he was calling an ambulance too, because we all know how that's going to end: not only will the wait be even longer, but the daughter will be taken to the hospital for no reason and Karen will have to pay through her nose for nothing.
You missed the part where it said they're in Canada. You know a sane country where health care is covered, unlike the USA.
'Terrorist' Story: Depending on when this happened, I hope Karen got her Charges upgraded with the Hate Crime Enhancement...
They need to, and she needs a padded room and some vegetative-state inducing drugs. She's a threat to society and public safety.
I really do hope she got that nice upgrade... She clearly deserves also to stay for a very very long time in a very cosy white jacket and in a nice room in the next clynic for veeery special people

What's Munchausen?
@@eway44 a very rare mental condition in which a person can't stop claiming that they have a very severe illness, even though they are perfectly fine.
how can you, as a PARENT, hijack the MakeAWish of your OWN child becuase you're that freaking dense?
I love this channel, but with each story i die a littel more inside at the stupidity of the Human nature
Same.
...there's also a new tick tock challenge apparently called the angel of death. What's the challenge? Jump out in the path of a vehicles and see if it stops...yes I'm serious. Why are we humans so DUMB
Oh no...oh no no no no.
I have no words 😑
@@jacthing1 OMG!
@@jacthing1 Seems about right. Hey, at least that is natural selection and should clear most dumb people if it goes wrong.
Story 1: As told? Nope, the only AHs are the thief and his mother. Him for being an unrepentant thief, and his mother for expecting that all he needs to do is give an insincere apology to be let off the hook...and then INSULTING the victim of her son's crime for daring to expect compensation for the material harm done!
Story 2: What is it with entitled people zeroing in on people with health issues? Do they have a sixth sense?
Story 3: I have to wonder what it is that mother actually wanted. What was her game, when she clearly knew her child wasn't so sick that she needed an ambulance? What did she want out of this badly enough to take her healthy daughter to a clinic and demand she be taken in to see a doctor? As to the pettiness of the doctor and nurse in calling the ambulance... yes...and no. Consider that, had they actually been wrong and the mother truly knew her daughter well enough to know something was imminently wrong, they'd have been in huge trouble for refusing to take the mother seriously.
Story 4: "Can you imagine? I'd have never forgiven you, and that would be your fault!" Yikes.
Story 3: Mom was probably looking for a prescription renewal for the kid. She came into the clinic, realized there would be a long wait so she made up the "my child is in respiratory distress" story to try to jump the line. That is also why she didn't go to the hospital - you don't get a prescription renewal in the emergency room.
When your 5 yr old steals a lollipop, you make them apologize. When your 17 yr old steals, you make them make it right.
Story 2: "This Walmart is a Karen beacon."
Aren't they all? But how about that Karen? They always try to invoke or pretend to be some authority figure to reinforce their little power trips. So this time she couldn't call the police so she invoked the next higher power (the FBI)
Story 3: Karens do love to cut in lines. I love how the doctor here cut her down.
Our local walmart is pretty normal. Doesn't seem to attract Walmartians.
Story 1: Karen son literally stole something and she still thinks that her son can do no wrong? terrible parenting right there
1. Bad parenting on EM's part.
2. Her kid stole from multiple cars. He committed theft.
3. OP needs to sue the unholy Hell out of EM.
I don’t think that it’s a problem of her child can do no wrong. The way she backs him up makes me think she was either in on it, or behind it (the stealing). The fact that she is a lawyer may have something to do with why the boy wasn’t already arrested.
Let's not forget the resort's valet also shares blame for not locking the vehicle after parking the car.
@@gtaisgreat8385 yeah I would think that would kind of be...a standard thing they would do? Lock the doors like everyone else does?... I'd honestly like to see someone try to justify why they didn't just to have a laugh at the mental gymnastics
Op should sue them and demand that the EM being removed from the board as Lawyer since she doesn’t understand the simple legality of theft
Story 2: The irony of grabbing what you think is a terrorist, is strong enough in itself. No one who does this Actually believes the other person is dangerous or the wouldn't assult them, its purely hate fueled.
2nd Story: The Very FIRST Thing that the First Amendment PROTECTS is Freedom Of Religion!!! Also, there are a few Christian and other Non-Muslim religions where it is normal for a woman (15+ years of age) to wear a headscarf, Especially during Religious Holidays!!
And most Muslims are very peaceful and pleasant people! But there are always a few bad apple extremists in any religion that paint a bad picture for the entirety of it.
religion dont cause terrorism PEOPLE do would karen be so sure that the 18yo WHITE kid hasnt a AR in his car? on the way to a school?
Story 4: my 14 year old cousin was diagnosed with leukemia. She went through with her treatments, and while she was at MD Anderson in Houston, she caught a cold. She was supposed to do a make a wish however, she was comatose and never recovered, and sadly passed away a few months later.
I'm an ice queen, but I definitely teared up at the couple coming to our hero's aid from that insane racist nitwit. 🥺 caring enough to try covering her head, walking her out and staying with her until they were sure she was safe.... man that got me. I try to maintain some faith in humanity by seeing the three lovely people in that story in exchange for the single nutjob.
First story :
1: NTA
2: “Kid” is 17 and stealing from multiple vehicles. In many states that is burglary, a felony, and he can be charged as an adult and in juvenile hall until 18, then state prison for the rest of his sentence.
Mom and kid need a hard lesson!
It’s so good when a doctor backs up the nurses.
Story 4: That was some childish behavior. The mom can just go at a different time since the OP could've never had that chance again.
That would've required empathy. And a soul. Plus...she didn't want to PAY to go to Barbados. Heavens no! She DESERVED the FREE trip. It was beyond just childish. That "mom" is a real piece of work. And by 'work' I mean SHIT. They'd been blessed if she'd been eaten by a shark while on vacay..
@@davidsavage5630 Aw, why does the shark deserve to get a stomach ache?
I’m convinced this is why we haven’t been visited by aliens yet.
Because if they come and they do something a Karen doesn’t like, they’ll get an earful.
Story 2: Just because someone looks like it doesn't mean they are one. Simple as that.
think of all the kids scared to death if some WHITE adult stranger comes into the school
Yeah. I’m blonde, and it seriously seems like my family thinks I’m dumb. I’m not. I’m actually quite smart, so I really hate it when family members talk to me like I need every little detail explained to me. I might have moments when I can be a little dense, but that doesn’t mean every single day is going to be like that. We need to tear down the “dumb blonde” stereotype. 9 times out of 10, it’s inaccurate.
I lost my husband to cancer in April. He was diagnosed during the time everything was locked up, so we couldn't go out to eat after his diagnosis.
Wasn't until this March that we finally went out.
I would have loved to have gone to a different restaurant, but it was his favorite one. We managed to go twice before he could no longer go out. In fact, I think the second time we went may have been the last time he ate a full meal.
I'm glad that he got to go where he wanted. If he had been able to go on a trip, it also would have been where he wanted. After all, I'm still alive and can go wherever I want. He no longer has that chance.
How could someone pull the hajib from a woman's head? Thank god there were two people to recognize the horrible act and step in to help the only way they knew. That's like stripping the habit from a nun and leaving her standing naked.
In the 2nd story I was so relieved to hear about the woman & her husband that helped OP! Seriously WTF kind of human garbage tears a woman's head scarf off? I know the woman pulled off the headscarf because of the woman's religion which is beyond wrong but what would that woman have said if the woman wearing a head scarf was because of something like cancer treatments? WTF is wrong with people that they think they have a right to put hands on another person? I hope that woman was not only charged with assault but also a hate crime! This kind of crap needs to stop!!
If I ever end up having kids, and one of them has something like cancer, or some serious illness, where there’s a high likelihood of said child passing away, and that kid qualifies for Make-A-Wish, I would make sure that kid got whatever wish they wanted, as long as it was doable by Make-A-Wish. I’d make sure that the child got what they wanted, because me seeing my kid happy would be more important than anything in the world.
So, I'm guessing the Karen with the asthmatic child wanted a free inhaler since she said the current one was empty. I hope that ambulance ride isn't cheap, and she has to pay every penny.
Karen : I'm a mother ಠωಠ it's F.R.E.E *[Karen Mode Activate]* I DESERVE THIS! YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT ITS LIKE TO BE A MOTHE- _wait (◕દ◕)_
some one pulled the "i am a single parent " on me i replied wow pregnancy is hard to catch, easy to avoid and if you do catch it there is abortion to help cure you, so having a kid is your choice now deal with it
The last story....triggering for me, due to the disrespect and not caring about her own child's wants, desires, or feelings. On Sept 1, 2021, on of my twin sons transitioned to Spirit just 6 weeks before their 16th birthday, and it's been 16 months now and I'm crying because people like her not only take advantage of having children, to enrich only their own lives, whilst there are parents out here like me, who have children that have also transitioned to Spirit, and only wish they had the chance to let their child/children have a last wish, and to cherish every second with their child/children even more, knowing there may not be a tomorrow in their immediate future.
When your child is gone from earth due to suddenly something out of their control/knowledge, or with some one doing something to them, or from medical issues no doctor ever diagnosed because there are no symptoms until cardiac arrest and death from the damage done, {what happened to my precious son} a parent is taken completely by surprise. There are so many thoughts of I wish we'd known at least a little time ahead type thing. Even though something that is known about and trying to be fought medically but they don't look like good chances is agony I am sure, often you at least have time to process and cherish more, until you possibly 'lose' them. And you have some time of hope that maybe a treatment will work, and you at least are not taken off guard and out of the blue. However, I'm sure spending months or years watching your child slowly get worse must be incredibly difficult to maintain yourself with said child and travel that awful road of limbo for so long without letting it hurt your child more to see that. Must be horrible for most parents..for parents that actually love their children, that is.
The fact that she had that chance, and fore knowledge, that time was short for the child quite possibly, and hijacked her child's last wish, for her own desires is the most disgusting thing from a parent, and the saddest thing for that child. Still crying, thinking I wish we'd known the twins had this awful thing Brugada, but not even doctors during surgeries they've had, had any clue something was amiss in their hearts. We would have happily cared for him our entire lives, had he lived but had serious damage that limited him in any way. Yet we lost our son without him being able to even get a last wish and leaving behind a twin, and people like her...they steal it from their own child and get to have a happy life event even if her child died or not. Doesn't seem like she'd be too broken up for very long, for some reason.
It's wrong enough for a parent's child to physically die before themselves, but wronger still, a child having a parent that values their own happiness far above their own dying child's happiness. Absolutely not fair, is it? Not for that child, not for us parents who lost children in tragic ways without that opportunity...only that selfish a parent wins. So much more time I wish I'd had with my son, and would give up everything I own which isn't much but would totally give away, to have him alive back on earth. What a despicable 'mother' she is. She doesn't deserve children or pets...ever again. Some people should not be parents.
The clinic story: the physician and nurse acted properly. The mother had already stated her willingness to sue, and by transferring the child under EMS conditions, they provided the best assurance that if a truly emergent condition occurred, treatment was available. Any action of acceding to her entitlement would only enable future misbehavior. The ambulance bill may not have been desirable to the mother, but she painted herself and everyone else into that corner.
Story 1 ? Press charges! Story 2? Wonder how the Psycho Karen made out in the jail?
Story 2: As a Muslim, I am offended that a person can even function like that just by seeing a scarf.
For a hater, and also a psychotic it's not a scarf - it's a ***threat**** to the Karen. Don't need to be Muslim to be offended by her reactions.
And I hate it whenever someone is a racist so, I hope that woman never gets out of prison.
Fluff, for the EMT story, I think it wasn't just the pettiness of the doctor and nurse, but also them teaching her a lesson that ifshe claims something so serious, that there are going to be serious reactions like a full on trip to the ED?
Story 1: Well played OP for having the receipt on your phone.
Who else thinks there should be "karen laws" put in place? Police departments and the courts are tired of them, too.
Headscarf. I'm sorry you had to go through that. It would have been good to press charges, but I completely understand why you didn't.
As someone who has an EMT as a best friend, the EMTs complaining about this are just upset that they might have been the ones to deal with her.
As the Dr in the story put it, IF the child was indeed in danger, your certification would be on the line. You MAY win your case, but your record would be forever stained with that case.
Yes, this was a waste of resources. But also calling the cops to remove her from the building since we ALL know she wouldn't leave on her own would ALSO be a waste of resources. Embaresment alone often isnt punishment enough for these Karens. They need REAL punishment. Like hospital bills and ambulance bills after finally getting what she wanted. And possible fines for incorrect use of emergancy resources.
When Karen's get involved with hospitals, nobody wins. It would either be EMTs or cops. SOMEBODY is having a bad day and wasting their time and energy on this Karen. Dont complain just because you COULD HAVE been the ones who had to deal with her.
I must confess I don't get the Make A Wish woman wanting her child to have a relationship with that horrid mother & step-dad. As they are that rotten, shouldn't the instincts of a loving mother be to protect her child from them?
What are you even talking about? There was no 'loving mother' in this story, only a manipulative, selfish woman who used her child for her own gains. The Make A Wish correspondent wanted the child to do what he wanted, which was meet his favorite band, it was the mother who coerced the kid into going to Barbados with threats and 'poor me' behavior. Make A Wish was behind the kid all the way, it was the selfish mother that betrayed her child. Make A Wish is not 'rotten', they have helped thousands of ill children with their wishes and brought some light into their difficult lives
@@sueboswell735 The Make A Wish woman is the woman TELLING the story ... vs the other topics covered in the stories.
These videos are perfect for when I have a migraine and can't look at a screen but still need some comic relief to listen to
Thanks Fluff!
If my parents behaved like those last "parents", there is no way on God's green earth I'd let them anywhere near any child of mine. What is she thinking?
Thank goodness for the couple in the Karen attacks woman with head scarf story. Big kudos for the woman to know the best way to handle the situation with keeping her hair from being seen. It's people like them that make America great.
If only the doctor was around when I was younger. Then my mom would have gotten me help sooner because a mother knows. Instead it took awhile for her to find a doctor who would believe her that something was wrong
Always. Press. Charges.
These Karens were so ridiculous that despite them being tragic, I could not help but laugh my butt off at them.
Props to the couple that helped the woman that had her headscarf torn off. They are amazing humans!! Knew to help cover her head, protected her from further attack!!!! Awesome response to horrible Karen behaviour
The son in the 1st story knew right from wrong & still chose to steal! Also Ray Bans are NOT inexpensive sunglasses my bag was stolen a few months ago & my Ray Bans (that were a gift) were stolen it cost me almost $235 to replace just the 1 pair! My husband & I live paycheck to paycheck so replacing those sunglasses which I forgot to mention were an xmas gift from my FIL from the last xmas he celebrated before he died! Stealing is just bs & if I had caught the crotch goblin that stole my bag containing such a prized gift I would have had zero problem pressing charges! OP didn't do that entitled little crotch goblin any favors by not pressing charges!
Story 2: Surely "Karen" by this time is a psychiatric condition. If it's not listed in the DSM, it needs to be. I'm somewhat serious about this.
Yep. Got to agree.
That nurse story: I’m on their side 100%. Karens need to learn that playing stupid games to try and score more drugs gets stupid prizes.
Can I just say how wholesome it is that in Story 2, both the man and his wife bothered to educate themselves enough to know that OP isn't really supposed to touch other men outside her blood relatives, so he hands the scarf to his wife to hand to OP, and the fact that the wife tries to shield OP while she puts her scarf on, reminds me of that video of the women's soccer game where one player accidentally pulls on the other's Hijab and the opposing players shield her from the public while she fixes it. Like, so wholesome and kudos to those people, hearing things like that, momentarily staves off my feeling of doom for humanity.
5:20 that’s a really thoughtful aspect that wouldn’t have even occurred to me, covering her hair until she can get situated to re-cover herself ^^’ my intervention would’ve been trying to get the crazy lady away from her, then retrieving and returning the scarf - that couple stepping in were really lovely
Laying here miserably sick with the flu. Just the relief I needed. Thanks.
You are most welcome
The last story got my blood boiling. The make a wish is for the child NOT for you Karen i hope people where op lived found out what happened and shamed that women for that stunt i always want to smash my phone in a rage whenever a story about a Karen trying to make the make a wish kid do something with there wish for Karen instead of them every time
The make a wish story really hit home for me. Especially the end where she fosters a relationship between her kid and his grandparents. I did that. In part because I'd always blamed myself for how they were. Even if the situation were clear as a bell NOT my fault, I blamed some sort of weird relationship dynamic that couldn't be helped. Gaslighting is a hell of a drug.
Well, my kids got to know their grandparents very well. And it's not good. Turns out that I wasn't the problem at all. They were. But I can't say if I did the right thing or not. On the one hand, my kids were hurt. Many times in many ways. On the other hand, they're wiser and stronger for it. Had I denied them the relationships they would've blamed me for never knowing their grandparents, not understood why. I always left it up to them and when my daughter had enough, she had my support 100%. In a weird way, the situation uncovered a really wonderful thing about my son's outlook on people. Turns out he was narcissist proof. He saw clearly, even at a young age, what these people were made of, realized that there was something wrong with them that made them 'mean', and offered them tolerance, patience, and forgiveness. He never allowed himself to take it personally. He could no more be angry at their abuse then he would with a wounded hurt cat lashing out. In his mind, they were wounded, confused animals.
Story #2 really got to me as I live in Portland Oregon & in 2017 a man was on a MAX train, harassing 2 teenage Muslim girls with racial slurs & the whole 9 yards, 3 men stepped in to defend the girls & 2 of the 3 were stabbed to death with the 3rd being severely injured. They caught the “man”, he went to trial & is serving a life sentence for it.
Wasn't someone in America convicted of a hate crime for ripping off a Muslim woman's headscarf in public. I kinda remember a story from a couple of years back about it (I live in the UK so this story was covered by the BBC) Edit: Looked it up. It was in Portland, Oregon in 2020
Several Americans, mostly middle-aged whites, have been arrested for attacking people in "foreign" clothing. Headscarves, turbans, tunics, even unusual looking shoes have sparked incidents.
There's a large Sikh and Hindu population in my area, and they get discriminated against by whites fairly often... said snobby white people forget that the city chief of police is of Filipino descent, and the county sheriff is half Vietnamese.
In the last story the OP should go no contact with her narcissistic parents--depriving their kid of what could have been her very last thing she did on Earth, sheesh! Her kid shouldn't be subjected to those awful people.
Last story: Trying to keep mother and step dad happy. They resent OP anyway.
She should have cut contact. Her “mother” never loved her and her son doesn’t need a grandmother so badly that it’s worth being around a monster. I hope she at least is teaching him how evil her mother is so if he starts dating someone like that someday he knows that such behavior is something to run away from rather than normal, acceptable behavior.
These parents are sick, using a potentially dying child for their own advantage. They don't deserve to have kids.
what is op?I'm new to this site
I once stole a lego Batman mini figure from school (it was a small, cheap set that was bought by the school’s counsellor) when I was like, 12, I think. I’m 20 and I still feel bad about it
I am so glad that Nice Woman and Nice Man were there in Story 2.
Someone like the out-of-control Karen in Walmart needs to have her face re-arranged. I would do serious damage to someone trying to pepper-spray me.
And I personally would have nailed her in the gut
Pepper spray the cops Karen is planning on suing the cops?? 😂😂😂😂 Too funny! I'd love to be in that courtroom to see the judge laugh at her
Oh, my dear Fluff. Like the Canadian nurse in the clinic story, we EMTs and paramedics go through a lot of training and I can assure you that training entails more than just driving an ambulance. That being said, I certainly wouldn't have minded doing such a transfer once to the whole story.
Story 2: I agree OP should have pressed charges on the crazy entitled karen, I'm glad the nice man and lady came to help her and make sure OP was alright before they had to catch the bus. 🙏
As someone who works in the Ambulance service and would be annoyed at the doctors on attending this call. However if the doctor explained the situation to me on my arrival, I’d happily play along and make sure they were kept waiting as long as possible.
Perfect thing to listen to as I draw. Thank you Fluff, and thank you Steveo!
As someone who is working on becoming a RN I can only pray that I work with folks who will stick together against entitled folks.
Last story. Parents who think that their kids owe them for everything that they did for them, are the worst. Doing things for your kids is what being a parent is all about and what you are supposed to do. If people choose to bring kids into the world it's 100% their decision and you get what you're given and do everything that you can to help them in life. Kids have no say in who their parents are and therefore owe them nothing. However if the kids then decide to have kids when the time comes the same will apply to them.
The nurse story in this episode is the best I've heard watching this channel.
Story 3 is more of a malicious compliance but I love it!
I am flabbergasted at this Karen! "Look, a woman minding her own damn business, letb me make her life hell at this moment!" Wtf?! This is crazy. I'm glad she got tackled and I hope she got jail time
So glad for the helpers in this situation! Good on them!
