as to the Asian " janitor" that's not entitlement, that is pure and utter racism... utterly disgusting. op is a better person than me. I'd have got her fired
Last story: Dressing in the same colors as the zoo staff to attract the animals is mostly brilliant, but has one drawback. One of the species it attracts is the "Wild Karen", scientific name Obnoxious Maximus Entitledus!
Story 1: OP was justified to pull out that knife. Guy was being creepy. You never grab other people, EVER. Story 2: Never grab from someone's cart. It doesn’t matter if the cart is to stock shelves or is for shopping. Story 3: Entitled? No, no. That is racism that woman was spewing. Story 4: When a place is closed, it's closed. You don’t try to get in. Also, walking away from destruction of property that you committed is not a good idea. Story 5: Even if OP was working there, you don’t force people off their break. Very rude to do that. Story 6: Same with the first story, you don't grab strangers. Great work, OP!
The only reason you grab somebody by the shirt and yank them around is if they are standing in front of an oncoming train, about to fall off a building ledge or cruise ship, or to get them out of the way of like a charging bull! OP 1 was well within her rights to act in her own defense.
I've grabbed strangers that way just before a car hits them...some got mad, i say "next time I'll let you get hit by that car then" cue the face white as ghost and a stuttering "a..a..a. c..c.car?" Like yes face deep in your cell phone, a car
If somebody yanked me, he would lie on the floor the next minutes. All about reflexes. A nice uchi-mata and when he/she is lucky, I wouldn't the "wrong" places. I'm a bit rusty.
As someone who carries a knife with them everywhere as well, it is not paranoid at all. You never know what could happen, or if you’ll need to defend yourself.
I had something similar happen to a friend of mine. She is a costume designer and her husband is a doctor and they live in a building of upscale condos. She is European and speaks English with an accent. So one day we were in the elevator going up to her apartment. (She was going to give me some scraps of some expensive fabrics!!) and a woman get in and says, well, I see you here almost every day so I guess it´s not likely, but do you have a free day. My friend didn´t really understand, so I asked, hm, what do you mean and she said does she have a free day to clean my apartment. I was taken aback and said, she lives here! Why would you think she cleans houses. And the idiot says, well, she doesn´t really speak English. I was left with my mouth hanging open and I said, you do realize there are other countries that speak other languages and she was like yeah, but usually the ones who don´t speak English are maids. We had gotten to Eva´s floor and got off. She was SO SO upset and it took a while to calm her down. The irony is that she speaks 4 or 5 languages and I would bet good money THAT Karen only spoke English.
And she shouldn't be "paranoid" about carrying a defensive weapon. In the words of Gen. "Mad Dog" Mattis, "Always carry a knife, in case there's cheesecake, or you need to stab someone in the throat."
He was lying. He knew she wasn't a target employee because he'd been watching her shop and put things into a basket. He had some seriously nasty intentions.
@@Kayenne54 not true she could have been shopping for the drive up pickup. I’ve seen employees doing it at my local store. Still OP has to be more aware. When she noticed him she should have made her way to the front of the store to customer service not continue further along.
@@bautistalover She wasn't wearing an employee uniform or anything similar, so your point about how she could've been mistaken for an employee shopping for pick-up doesn't hold. Also, saying what the victim _should've_ done could be taken as victim blaming; just share the lesson learned and leave them out of it.
@@dinkledankle where I live we have instacart which is independent people shopping for customers so they aren’t wearing uniforms. That was my point. We as people have to be more aware of our surroundings and if something doesn’t feel right don’t continue. ETA: That’s not victim blaming that pointing out a fact OP acknowledges that she noticed him but continued on her way.
It is not being paranoid to carry a knife, it’s called self defense. Pepper spray, those plastic knuckle cat things and an aluminum spike stick keychain can only do so much and a determined attacker will not stop. I used to carry one all the time at my old job as loss prevention because we had someone threaten us twice to kill us, and the managers barely did anything because they didn’t witness the first time and had an armed guard for only one day after the second time. Me and my coworker just never told the managers we had knives on us during our shifts, I also had mine because I was off work usually after midnight waiting for my ride in the parking lot outside because the managers would be too busy to unlock the door if I had to wait inside with the closing associates still working
Exactly he's "lucky" she didn't pepper spray him as soon as he grabbed her collar. It's self defense at the point. I doubt the cameras missed the whole time he was following her
What people don’t realize is that the second you put your hands on someone else on camera it is assault. It doesn’t matter if you’re trying to spin them around or anything else. The person you are touching has every legal right to throat punch you and watch you choke to death in front of them. Do not grab strangers.
Unfortunately any of the things you mentioned, incl. the knife of course, is illegal to carry here. Which is a huge problem for me. In November my ex will be released from prison. He was sentenced to almost 5yrs for SAing me & here he only needs to be in prison for half of his sentence. The rest is on probation & he will then be deported to where he's from. The thing is, because there is a soft boarder where I am, he could get on the next plane, fly to the other country & then just drive up 4hrs to where I am. And this terrifies me & there us nothing I can do to protect myself other than having a doorbell camera and a camera in my car 🥺
@Derek of Waterloo unless the assailant is a master in some martial arts and is confident enough to tke away her knife, he aint gonna try. My friend learned martial arts and he always said the best technique to fight off a robber with a knife is "throwyowallet".
When I was in my late teens/early 20s, I carried a boot knife with me pretty much everywhere that I went because of the areas I worked and travelled in. The only person who ever noticed it was a female RCMP officer at the airport, where I worked the overnight shift, who passed me on the stairs, looked at the clip hanging outside my boot, and gave me a knowing smile.
looks like animals and karens have at least one thing in common: they think people whose clothes have the similar colors as the employees, are employees!
I have made that mistake. I once asked a person wearing a polo style shirt close to Wal-Mart's blue color for help. Does it make me a racist because she was black?
After mistaking a couple people as workers when I was a kid, I'm extremely hesitant to ask someone for help unless I'm absolutely _certain_ they work there. My anxiety demands no less
@@platinum_noelle Just accept that you are human and make mistakes. Apologize and move on with your life. However, I try to see a nametag before I ask now. However, I have been asked when my nametag is still on when I go shopping on my way home from work.
I am more than sure that the Karen only wanted to get into the store, ask a stupid question and then simply say:"I am in the store now so I can buy something. You are getting paid for this afterall, you have to let me shop something".
@@Dorikku_kun no they dont most is based on open and closeing hours. Others still use time cards and it based on hours worked tho that practice has been slowly going away with the times.
Like Fluff I also don't get why people have to be 'grabby' with others. in the last 2 weeks I've been mistaken for a worker and both times they've just asked 'can you help me?' no stalking, no grabbing. They couldn't stop appoligizing when I said I didn't work there so I made sure I sent a worker their way to help. To bad the saying 'if you're nice to others, others will be nice to you' dose not compute with some people.
Knife frying pan whatever is in the aisle is fair game. It's just good she had it. Fear and defense kicks in and he's lucky he didn't get hit with a vacuum
lol and how he basically gave off the "im going to kidnap you" vide with how he stalked her. i know loss prevention sometimes does this but they are more stealthy then THAT guy. i mean he couldnt have been more obvious in stalking [not ONCE was it mentioned him trying to get her attention till she pulled the knife] even if he had bells tied to him.
@@theldrakisBack when I was in High school, what amounts to a loss prevention officer followed me around for a bit then asked me to turn the umbrella I was carrying (not bound up as it was raining outside. He told me that he wanted to check to make sure that none of the jewelry I had been looking at had fallen into the umbrella. Apparently, that was one way people would shoplift.
The super important question was "Where are the carts? I want to do shopping now. Since I'm in the building you have to let me shop. It's the law!" Karens are neither known for their intelligence nor their observation skills.
I started gifting my daughters and grandson, knives on their 10th birthday, and teaching them respect for them, and how to use them. Not psycho or crazy. Aware and confident.... You didn't filet him on aisle seven in Target.. that would have been a little bit crazy!
She came close if he had moved the wrong way. It’s always best to ask questions before you start pulling out weapons in a store. You don’t know what store security will do.
First story - that guy was lucky as hell. I taught my daughters that if they are ever attacked - and grabbing by the collar counts as an attack - that they go for the balls first. Only my older daughter carries a weapon, and she has never had to use it. But I made sure my daughters were trained to avoid being victims.
I have had someone give me the 'I know the manager personally' thing, but I was never worried because the only reason it ever happened was because I was adhering to store policy and the customer didn't like it. Yeah, like I'm gonna get written up or fired for doing my job correctly.
Oh same here! The managers always take my side because if Karens complain about something, it's usually because they're not getting their way. The managers in my store know that I'm the person that knows the whole department backwards and always follow policy. Love those guys.
It’s sad to say that being a girl, being paranoid, and carrying a weapon for protection is completely normal. I wish the world was different and that we women and girls could walk around and be totally safe but that isn’t the world we live in 😥
My mother told me that my uncle had a bad luck. So he took meat mallet and put it on a longer handle then hid it under his jacket. When he went out into town few guys jumped in front of him, one of them had a knife. He looked at them and said: "With knife at me, with a KNIFE?!?" and took out his weapon. They got very scared and ran for their lives. It's funny, tho.
I'm a smaller (5'1) AFAB non-binary person and even I carry a pocket knife everywhere. And I'd also like to point out that it's completely normal for a guy to cary around a knife with him everywhere but it's crazy for anyone else too?
Just to post this here my wife and myself EDC pocket knives, taser, pepper spray, and conceal carry handguns. Both of us have had very extenuating circumstances in our lives where we faced different traumatic events and if we didn't have something for self-defense our lives would have ended up very much differently. I can share the trauma I encountered in my life that has led me to carry every day if any one was curious about it. The reason why continue to every day carry now is because we both live now closer to the country side and the response times for the sheriff to come out can take hours. We also have predatory wildlife out here that CAN kill a human being if they are hungry enough so that is another reason to carry for self defense. And finally to mention other people who don't respect property lines or ignorant vacationers (Karens) that think just because this is the country side that no one owns these private trails / land so they trespass and aren't always nice.
I would not call the first OP paranoid, I got my CCW and when I'm in public, I'm carrying concealed. Or open carrying anywhere that won't trespass me for it. Is it paranoia? Not really. Some people are looking to inflict harm or death on anyone and everyone that can't stop them. I grew up with no shortage of those people as classmates, I'm more familiar with it than I ever wanted to be. However, most knives are much more suited for working rather than fighting. Particularly defensive fighting. They're threatening, absolutely, but not sufficiently effective for when shit still goes sideways. Your assailant isn't likely to make it, but it usually will take long enough that they can maim or kill you first.
Agree with everything here, especially the part about random people wanting to inflict harm. It’s very sad how sometimes you can’t feel safe anywhere because the thought that at any moment someone could try to hurt you or something is overpowering.
Love how the last OP spent hours giving a "tour" of nightmares. Giving the what was probably the most fictional, over the top, nightmare inducing stories to those two kids before giving the traumatized children back to the mother.
First story: I'm no burly man by any means, but seeing that, I would pull out my phone and loudly "talk to 911" about some stalker who has openly admitted to targeting a young woman I suspect to be a minor. Maybe that will help him realize how his actions appear.
Not to mention, he grabbed her by the COLLAR. So, that could choke her. That is an aggressive and offensive maneuver, and cannot possibly be misconstrued as an innocent, "I was just trying to get your attention" move. Her COLLAR.
Do retail workers take it seriously when some wild Karen says they know someone in corporate/management? No, we don't. Here's the thing. When you hear that as an actual employee, it's usually because Karen or Kevin is angry over some change made by corporate/management and they're taking it out on you, the low level employee who has no control over it. So, you just tell them to go right ahead and watch as nothing happens.
I'd have no reason to believe it to begin with. Important people of our store come in suit and are usually announced. As for managers... well I work there, I've seen them before like multiple times lol. They'll also wear their uniform and if they don't, they're off duty and honestly don't have any reason to say anything. So yeah, people who say that kinda thing never worked in a store a day in their life xD
I have injured right shoulder, had it almost ten years and I hate when people pat it. In bad day, when I'm feeling crumby because insomnia or some other reason, I have almost punched several people who had done this. I have even also thought making some Mad Max style pauldron with spikes to me jackets so people stop doing it...
I know it’s not a mad max kinda jacket but their are certain leather jackets that have those spikes on them. They aren’t spiky but it’s annoying to lean and/or pat them. They’re usually on the back or on the shoulders and they don’t look tacky as they’re often put on jackets to make them stand out and they have designs and look cool.
@@niya4981 Yeah, the classic '80s punker style leather jackets! Probably still have to do it meself because: a) Those usually don't come in me size, as I'm quite big dude. b) If I would find one of right size, one made from real leather would probably cost too much for me But luckily I happen to be quite handy with clothing, did study desinging and making them for 2 years before dropping out and still happen to do some as hobby.
@@dizzysdoings In me case it's just some wierd case were either all nerve or muscle connetion points are in kind of inflametary (? not native english speaker 😉) state on me shoulder area. When it's acting badly, the pain shoots throught me hole limb and using me fingers for finer motoristic action is very hard, like I can barely hold pen. It might be caused by combination of rapid growth as kid and also that I did do lot of firewood etc that period. I did grow like more than half of me height in period of 3 years around age 10-13, 59 cm aka almost two feet inside one year and I couldn't partcipate sports for almost a year. Also puberty started around 9-10 years of age. And height growth ended around 14-15 years old.
First story, I've got the same thing about physical contact. No traumatic incident caused it, just is. I don't like being touched, especially by strangers. Anything close to violent will trigger instant rage. Only person I feel comfortable with physical contact is my long term bf.
@@Renville80 a tap, probably okay. But grabbing, not okay. I don't like unsolicited hugs either. And if a deaf person wants my attention I'd hope they'd have the decency to come around to my front or side before trying to touch me.
Notes- First story - Hero man sounds like the perfect example of 'not who a lot of people assume to be the good guy' type, and I LOVE IT! 2nd story - Yes, the threat is made....no, we usually don't take it seriously. Though, usually it's 'I know corporate!'...Yea right, trust us...if you knew corporate, you'd know they are useless. the rest are just comically funny, and examples of Karens doing what Karens do best....making idiots out of themselves XD Though, hope the kids in the last story use the chance to learn the truth about animals and how to treat them, but odds are...mommy isn't gonna direct them in any good way.
Any time I've been out away from my usual area and needed a hand, it's always been the biker types that offer a helping hand first. Hell when collar was broke and I got a flat, I actually had my spare put on my truck by a patched in Celtic. Guy wouldn't even accept any money. So I drove down the road with him and bought him and his buddy each a beer and a burger.
@@Nempo13 Yea, I love these stories 'cause a lot of people don't realize how badly you can mis-judge people. My mom kept odd company, and I found out why. Basically, she hung with some real 'rebel cross' hicks, a couple bikers, some 'old school hood' type, and a few others that...well, lets just say when the crowd got together, it was an odd mix that has to this day messed with my ability to guage anyone I meet. Told her she needs to get on Reddit, 'cause I can't remember most of them[and some I never got told at all, but I have enough clues to know /why/], but she says each of them have similar stories to things like this. called them 'The Happy Heros' of her life that kept her going when she needed help in unexpected ways. Even if by the time I came along, most of them had done their work, and were only chance-meetings and occational visits by the time I could remember. She made friends with everyone that helped her when life went bad...to a point she still gets updates on them, and them dropping by [the ones that are still alive anyways] now that the kids have moved away. Just to make sure she's safe.
1) That AH was lucky you didn't press charges for assault. 2) LOL 3) What an obnoxious person, sorry you even had to deal with that. 4) OMG, some people are so entitled. Glad she didn't get away with her bad behaviour. 5) Love how that worked out. 6) Best tour ever, LOL, and great end.
This is America (well, a large number of viewers are from there, I'd bet) and grabbing someone in a store is liable to leave you with a few more holes in you than you had when you entered the store. Do NOT put your hands on people. WTF, where is this OK?
@@theldrakis In the past, I would have agreed with you, and to an extent I do now, but look at the story. Dude could have gotten perforated quite easily. These days, things are different than they used to be. People are crazier than ever, and with the virus and all, most folks don't want strangers anywhere near them. It's much better and safer just to keep your hands to yourself. That being said, while the story about the young lady with the knife sounded real, the majority of 'Karen' stories are identical except for the name of the store. In 60 laps around the Sun, I've never even once had anything like that happen to me. Makes you wonder...
Why do they still pull that I know the manager/owner? If the person really works there, they will at least know the manager's spouses name as employees talk to each other.
That Karen with a question was probably only saying that to be let into the store, then once she was in then she could do a little shopping, "because I'm here already so you should just ring me up"
OP 1 is not paranoid nor crazy. People like in her story be like that. Society needs to relearn how to treat other people, even in customer service situations.
On the off chance that OP from the first story reads this, you are a better person than me, I would have instinctively embedded the knife in him, which is why I don't carry knives in public.
Why I don't own a gun. I have anger issues, and I worry that having a gun may have me do something I regret. I may be paranoid, since I never intentionally injured anyone in my life. But I would rather not test it.
Quick funny story (no Karens involved). I owned a coffee shop for a few years. My day would start at 5:00 a.m. My alarm would go off at 4:00. Sometimes, I would wake up early. I had amazing food in the shop (cooked to order breakfasts, fresh bagels, donuts, I would roast my own coffee...). But there is only so many times one can eat your own food in a row. So on those rare occasions, I woke up early, hungry, and knowing that I had a 16 hour day ahead of me, I would stop in at a local casino (I live in Nevada), and grab a 3:00 a.m. plate of food. It was nice to have someone else cook for me and no one ever blinked an eye.
Story 1 - I kind of wish more people did this now. I know it would probably end badly some small percentage of the time, but some part of me has to think the memory of people they grab pulling knives on them has got to penatrat even a Kevin/Karens mind. Once might not stop them, but if it happened a few times? You think they would at least not grab people before being horrible.
No, it's not paranoid to carry a knife. I'm a small woman myself. The dude was acting like a stalker. I would have pulled any weapon at hand, even a pen, if grabbed.
I'm surprised Target didn't sue OP or the guy defending her, they've already done more lucrative in the form of suing a guy for stopping someone from stabbing a 16 year old girl to death. No, they didn't sue the offender, they sued the guy who saved her.
First story, I wish she had decided that she wanted the cops involved, because would love to see him explaining himself to them. Creep: "I thought she worked here though!" Cops: "Even if she had, it wouldn't have made it okay to grab her. Now hands behind your back."
We always got told when family members of people with power were coming in so we could be in tip top shape so anytime a customer spewed out something like that we automatically knew that it was untrue
I have a pretty basic “I know the owner” story: I was working at a small, fast food shop that was situated directly underneath a nightclub and operated from 5pm til 5am. I worked from 10pm til 5am so almost all of my customers were intoxicated to some degree. This made for a lot of interesting interactions lol. The customers often tried to haggle over the prices (to the point that we legit had a sign on the counter about it 🙄) but surprisingly enough I only had one time where a large male aggressively threw out the “I know the owner!” line. Silly idiot didn’t know that the owner had SPECIFICALLY told me to never give discounts and that I was always free to refuse service to ANYONE for ANY reason, especially if they dropped that exact excuse 😂 Thankfully, working under a nightclub means you also have bouncers magically appear when ppl start yelling so I could laugh in his face, refuse to serve him then have security guards escort him from the premises 👍
So....... she wants to ask just one (1) question. So OP gets closer where they don't have to yell. Aaaaaaaaaaaand instead of asking there. Brakes the glass and then runs off. I mean if they're not yelling at that point. WHY NOT ASK THE QUESTION THEN. Letting alone OP saying "I don't work here." Yeah I damn well know I am bringing logic into it but hot damn dude.
and i bet logic isnt in the karen dictionary......wait do they even know what one is? i mean it seems like they dont from not understanding "i dont work here"
The OP in the first story is right to bring a knife everywhere with her. Lots of men attack women, even in broad daylight. I don't blame her for bringing it, especially when he was being a plain creep!
Ya thats true i do think more people should consider self defence itums to be that much safer. However thir are most states that dont even have a self defence law wich i see as ridiculous most of those states with no such law have a pretty high crime rate i bet most of that would reduce if such laws were in place.
@@PersonTP that part. People can loose their tempers. He could have been being honest that he grabbed her because he was angry she was ignoring him. Not that he should have grabbed her but…. she would have felt like crap for hurting him over a misunderstanding. OP may need some counseling. Most people just ask what’s up they don’t immediately grab a weapon.
Bit of a hate statement right there missy.... Not a lot of men attack women.... Most of us don't do that. It's just a few rotten eggs that do it, not a lot of us. Only a few. I'd say at least 90% of men behave normal. So please stop the hate against men and start being more respectfull and accepting of other genders. Don't hate.
I carry a pocket knife with me at all times plus I keep a full size knife close to were I sleep and I have a German Shepherd that will not let anyone come in without permission
I'm almost 70. I've been carrying a knife everywhere since I was a teen. My husband does also. They are sharpened, modified utility blades that spring open with a flick. I see nothing wrong with self-preservation, as well as carrying useful tools. Trust me, many times I've used my knife to cut apples, pizza, boxes etc.
The sandwich one is funny lady has never heard of night, swing, and graveyard shift. First shift sometimes work as early as 4 depends on job. I know Sysco starts at 2 or 3 to make sure the delivery is there at 6.
First man was a stalker not a shopper. He was hoping for eye contact then to encourage her outside. If he had not grabbed her and she reacted that strongly, she may have been kidnapped out in the parking lot. It would be interesting to see if he has been criminally charged on similar incidents.
It's not crazy to carry a knife these days especially as a women.and No one should be putting their hands on you ever !! The man who helped you sounds AWSOME !!
I saw "Woolworths" and thought "You still have Woolworth's??? That was a great store (5 and dime), first opened in 1879, closed in the early 1990's." ( looking online, it appears there is a new, online presence, but it is different. "The store you grew up with, grown up". ) But no, Woolworths in Australia appears to be a grocery store, not the same at all ;)
Australian Woolworths has no affiliation to the US company, totally different owners. And its one of two major supermarkets here same as Coles, Aldi, IGA and about a dozen others. You're not the only confused American whose always surprised at this. I have seen Aussies go to Woolies (our loving nickname) on TikToks and SO MANY AMERICANS say the same thing as you!
@@Jandypoptvstars That's incorrect. Woolworths bought out the Safeway brand in 1985. The company itself was called Woolworths Limited in Aus then Woolworths Group as it owns multiple companies now. The very original store was in the Imperial Arcade in Sydney and it was funnily named Woolworths Stupendous Discount Basement! New Zealand Countdown is also owned by Woolworths Group.
@@lmaree200886 I was making a joke. 🙄 FYI I was born after 1985 and it was still called Safeway here in Victoria for a long time and has only recently completely changed to Woolworths.
@@Jandypoptvstars Didn't seem like a joke at all mate! Those stores you say that were renamed were still owned by Woolworths since just before I was born 😁
The Karen didn't have a question that's the lie they tell so they can get inside the store . And then once that door is unlocked, their question turns into how "I just need to get something real quick " , so yeah that's a bunch of crap and I'm glad she got arrested
It's absolutely not paranoid to carry a knife with you everywhere you go. They are incredibly useful tools and especially when it comes to self-defense can help even the odds for people who aren't as physically capable as others.
I work part time at a grocery store and I’ve encountered my fair share of entitlement, but surprisingly no one has used the “I know the manager line.” I’ve had a lady be so entitled to demand that we drop everything that we’re doing to help her with her tedious and unnecessary requests and we’re forced to comply because her family spends a lot of money at our store. I’ve had a Karen berate me on my second day on the job because the huge take n bake pizza she grabbed was too big for the cart she had. So in my attempt to bag and put away her pizza, some of the toppings, the UNCOOKED TOPPINGS, slid around the container, and for that she saw fit to start yelling at a 16yr bagger. Thankfully the nice couple behind her apologized for her actions and slipped me a $20 tip. I’ve had a lady complain about me, about an error she caused, to me, not knowing it was me she was complaining about. I’ve even seen some entitled people complain about pickles, orange juice, and even 9 cents.
Hello, darkfluff I've been watching all your videos since I started watching last month so even though I'm pretty a pretty new subscriber I want to say that your videos are entertaining, great, and help alot of people. Thank you.
This first story is the shyyyt🤣🤣🤣She did what I like to think I'd do, not in target maybe, more so in the street or something to that effect!! Now OP in the Zoo Is My Hero🥰🥰🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤎🖤🖤🤎🖤🤎🖤💯💯✌
I definitely understand the girl in the 1st story! I'm pretty small (got bullied for it all throughout my school years) & I also carry a knife (& a gun & pepper spray everywhere I go). I woke up one day to being sexually assaulted (about 12 years ago) by my cousin's drunk boyfriend while crashing on their couch the night before a family party. My initial reaction was to start throwing fists & start kicking. I ended up breaking his nose, splitting his bottom lip open & splitting his eyebrow open. There was blood everywhere! He cowered in the corner & started crying & apologizing & saying he was just drunk & didn't mean it. After that happened I bought a gun, a knife & pepper spray that I have on me at all times. I'm not about to get violated like that ever again!
That first story, what audacity that guy has to accuse her of being a "psycho" when she was just defending herself. There's a psycho in this situation, but it's not her!
The guy in the first story was definitely a stalker and most likely had nefarious intentions. He used the "I thought you worked here" excuse to cover that up. I don't think for a minute that he thought she worked there. Bravo to "Ducks of Anarchy" guy for stepping in! The last story - LOVED IT! Best revenge EVER!!!
First Story: It was the every day carry switchblade that my sister received from me as a birthday present that she used against some guys that tried to abduct her whilst coming home after work. She was commended by the police officers. Think of a good knife in the same light as a condom - Better to have it and not need it, than to need it and not have it. Either way it can be a life saver.
I love the comment, "she's old LOL so she forgot the sodas". The woman was probably in her early to late 40s, as I'm 43 I shook my head and was thinking "hahaha" on one hand, and "little bastard" on the other hand. Can't make up my mind whether to laugh or to murder, I must be getting old eh?
Always carrying a knife isn't crazy at all. I too carry a knife everywhere. I have since high school, I've used it to defend myself and to help people from car accidents or other situations. Makes absolute sense to me!!

Also, some animals actually hate the zoo employees and will try to attack them.

Story 1: OP was justified to pull out that knife. Guy was being creepy. You never grab other people, EVER.
Story 2: Never grab from someone's cart. It doesn’t matter if the cart is to stock shelves or is for shopping.
Story 3: Entitled? No, no. That is racism that woman was spewing.
Story 4: When a place is closed, it's closed. You don’t try to get in. Also, walking away from destruction of property that you committed is not a good idea.
Story 5: Even if OP was working there, you don’t force people off their break. Very rude to do that.
Story 6: Same with the first story, you don't grab strangers. Great work, OP!
Glad we got your opinion on _every_ story 👍 now the world is whole again. 🤯🤦♀️
For the 5th story it’s also against company policy for employees to work while on break.
Story 1. OP did good. If it was me, that guy would be staring down the barrel of of a gun.
The question for the 4th story is so she could get inside and get whatever she wanted done without waiting
@@KingNoah231 In some cases against the labor laws, too.
The only reason you grab somebody by the shirt and yank them around is if they are standing in front of an oncoming train, about to fall off a building ledge or cruise ship, or to get them out of the way of like a charging bull!
OP 1 was well within her rights to act in her own defense.
True
I've grabbed strangers that way just before a car hits them...some got mad, i say "next time I'll let you get hit by that car then" cue the face white as ghost and a stuttering "a..a..a. c..c.car?" Like yes face deep in your cell phone, a car
If somebody yanked me, he would lie on the floor the next minutes. All about reflexes. A nice uchi-mata and when he/she is lucky, I wouldn't the "wrong" places. I'm a bit rusty.
A former Disney Cast Member has had to yank people out of the way of one of those carriages in Disney World pulled by a mustang.
As someone who carries a knife with them everywhere as well, it is not paranoid at all. You never know what could happen, or if you’ll need to defend yourself.
Or when you want to open something in your car. Or when somebody need something opened immediately.
@@themysterylady842 True, but I’m mostly just referring to self defense and survival.
@Valien SR, paranoid doesn't mean you're wrong.
@@cassievanbrunt7791 Did I say that it does?
@@valiensr1037 Oh I know, that's the reason why I carry one around but it does come in handy for other things besides just defending yourself.
I had something similar happen to a friend of mine. She is a costume designer and her husband is a doctor and they live in a building of upscale condos. She is European and speaks English with an accent. So one day we were in the elevator going up to her apartment. (She was going to give me some scraps of some expensive fabrics!!) and a woman get in and says, well, I see you here almost every day so I guess it´s not likely, but do you have a free day. My friend didn´t really understand, so I asked, hm, what do you mean and she said does she have a free day to clean my apartment. I was taken aback and said, she lives here! Why would you think she cleans houses. And the idiot says, well, she doesn´t really speak English. I was left with my mouth hanging open and I said, you do realize there are other countries that speak other languages and she was like yeah, but usually the ones who don´t speak English are maids. We had gotten to Eva´s floor and got off. She was SO SO upset and it took a while to calm her down. The irony is that she speaks 4 or 5 languages and I would bet good money THAT Karen only spoke English.

He was lying. He knew she wasn't a target employee because he'd been watching her shop and put things into a basket. He had some seriously nasty intentions.
@@Kayenne54 not true she could have been shopping for the drive up pickup. I’ve seen employees doing it at my local store. Still OP has to be more aware. When she noticed him she should have made her way to the front of the store to customer service not continue further along.
@@bautistalover She wasn't wearing an employee uniform or anything similar, so your point about how she could've been mistaken for an employee shopping for pick-up doesn't hold. Also, saying what the victim _should've_ done could be taken as victim blaming; just share the lesson learned and leave them out of it.
@@dinkledankle where I live we have instacart which is independent people shopping for customers so they aren’t wearing uniforms. That was my point. We as people have to be more aware of our surroundings and if something doesn’t feel right don’t continue.

@@dinkledankleIf there was a pick-up section in the store, I've never seen Emplyees do that.
It is not being paranoid to carry a knife, it’s called self defense. Pepper spray, those plastic knuckle cat things and an aluminum spike stick keychain can only do so much and a determined attacker will not stop. I used to carry one all the time at my old job as loss prevention because we had someone threaten us twice to kill us, and the managers barely did anything because they didn’t witness the first time and had an armed guard for only one day after the second time. Me and my coworker just never told the managers we had knives on us during our shifts, I also had mine because I was off work usually after midnight waiting for my ride in the parking lot outside because the managers would be too busy to unlock the door if I had to wait inside with the closing associates still working
Exactly he's "lucky" she didn't pepper spray him as soon as he grabbed her collar. It's self defense at the point. I doubt the cameras missed the whole time he was following her
@@lovelywolv they would call it a misunderstanding. They way people are OP would end up getting sued for using violence first.
What people don’t realize is that the second you put your hands on someone else on camera it is assault. It doesn’t matter if you’re trying to spin them around or anything else. The person you are touching has every legal right to throat punch you and watch you choke to death in front of them. Do not grab strangers.
Unfortunately any of the things you mentioned, incl. the knife of course, is illegal to carry here.
Which is a huge problem for me.
In November my ex will be released from prison. He was sentenced to almost 5yrs for SAing me & here he only needs to be in prison for half of his sentence. The rest is on probation & he will then be deported to where he's from. The thing is, because there is a soft boarder where I am, he could get on the next plane, fly to the other country & then just drive up 4hrs to where I am. And this terrifies me & there us nothing I can do to protect myself other than having a doorbell camera and a camera in my car 🥺
So glad that girl in Target was armed, found her 'mother' voice and had a hero. Kuddo's to them both!

When I was in my late teens/early 20s, I carried a boot knife with me pretty much everywhere that I went because of the areas I worked and travelled in. The only person who ever noticed it was a female RCMP officer at the airport, where I worked the overnight shift, who passed me on the stairs, looked at the clip hanging outside my boot, and gave me a knowing smile.
at work some of the cops at my work have pen in their boots. though a knowing smile like that means they know its for safety and not suspect.
looks like animals and karens have at least one thing in common: they think people whose clothes have the similar colors as the employees, are employees!
I have made that mistake. I once asked a person wearing a polo style shirt close to Wal-Mart's blue color for help. Does it make me a racist because she was black?
@@charlesmuhmanson3928 Only if you got mad when she said she didn't work there. If you apologized and moved on, I think you're fine.
A friend said, that it happens to him a lot. He is assumed to work in a restaurant or as a bus driver. It just depends on the color of his shirt.
After mistaking a couple people as workers when I was a kid, I'm extremely hesitant to ask someone for help unless I'm absolutely _certain_ they work there. My anxiety demands no less
@@platinum_noelle Just accept that you are human and make mistakes. Apologize and move on with your life.
However, I try to see a nametag before I ask now. However, I have been asked when my nametag is still on when I go shopping on my way home from work.
I am more than sure that the Karen only wanted to get into the store, ask a stupid question and then simply say:"I am in the store now so I can buy something. You are getting paid for this afterall, you have to let me shop something".
When the reallity is thir truspassing and thir not really paid once they clock out.
Yeah, Employees don't get payed based on how much Profit they made
@@Dorikku_kun no they dont most is based on open and closeing hours.
Others still use time cards and it based on hours worked tho that practice has been slowly going away with the times.
Like Fluff I also don't get why people have to be 'grabby' with others. in the last 2 weeks I've been mistaken for a worker and both times they've just asked 'can you help me?' no stalking, no grabbing. They couldn't stop appoligizing when I said I didn't work there so I made sure I sent a worker their way to help. To bad the saying 'if you're nice to others, others will be nice to you' dose not compute with some people.
We all know there are just rude grabby people in the world. Life would be easier if people use manners.
hell I end up apologizing to the ACTUAL workers for even bothering them lol
Knife frying pan whatever is in the aisle is fair game. It's just good she had it. Fear and defense kicks in and he's lucky he didn't get hit with a vacuum
lol and how he basically gave off the "im going to kidnap you" vide with how he stalked her. i know loss prevention sometimes does this but they are more stealthy then THAT guy. i mean he couldnt have been more obvious in stalking [not ONCE was it mentioned him trying to get her attention till she pulled the knife] even if he had bells tied to him.
Where I'm from it's assault the moment someone touches you. She could have stuck him and been fine when the security footage was reviewed.
@@theldrakisBack when I was in High school, what amounts to a loss prevention officer followed me around for a bit then asked me to turn the umbrella I was carrying (not bound up as it was raining outside. He told me that he wanted to check to make sure that none of the jewelry I had been looking at had fallen into the umbrella. Apparently, that was one way people would shoplift.
The super important question was "Where are the carts? I want to do shopping now. Since I'm in the building you have to let me shop. It's the law!"
Karens are neither known for their intelligence nor their observation skills.
I started gifting my daughters and grandson, knives on their 10th birthday, and teaching them respect for them, and how to use them. Not psycho or crazy. Aware and confident.... You didn't filet him on aisle seven in Target.. that would have been a little bit crazy!
She came close if he had moved the wrong way. It’s always best to ask questions before you start pulling out weapons in a store. You don’t know what store security will do.
Who else wants to see a Duck Tales spin off, about a biker gang, called "Ducks of Anarchy"? lol
I don't it probably be another Quack Pack
First story - that guy was lucky as hell. I taught my daughters that if they are ever attacked - and grabbing by the collar counts as an attack - that they go for the balls first. Only my older daughter carries a weapon, and she has never had to use it. But I made sure my daughters were trained to avoid being victims.
I have had someone give me the 'I know the manager personally' thing, but I was never worried because the only reason it ever happened was because I was adhering to store policy and the customer didn't like it. Yeah, like I'm gonna get written up or fired for doing my job correctly.
Sadly, that depends on where you work.
Oh same here! The managers always take my side because if Karens complain about something, it's usually because they're not getting their way. The managers in my store know that I'm the person that knows the whole department backwards and always follow policy. Love those guys.
It’s sad to say that being a girl, being paranoid, and carrying a weapon for protection is completely normal. I wish the world was different and that we women and girls could walk around and be totally safe but that isn’t the world we live in 😥
You have 9 times more chance to be attacked if you're a man though. Not saying that women shouldn't carry protection
im ftm and in australia we cant carry any weapons on us at all, and its very... :')
My mother told me that my uncle had a bad luck. So he took meat mallet and put it on a longer handle then hid it under his jacket. When he went out into town few guys jumped in front of him, one of them had a knife. He looked at them and said: "With knife at me, with a KNIFE?!?" and took out his weapon. They got very scared and ran for their lives. It's funny, tho.
I'm a smaller (5'1) AFAB non-binary person and even I carry a pocket knife everywhere. And I'd also like to point out that it's completely normal for a guy to cary around a knife with him everywhere but it's crazy for anyone else too?
It’s not paranoid it’s your safety
Just to post this here my wife and myself EDC pocket knives, taser, pepper spray, and conceal carry handguns. Both of us have had very extenuating circumstances in our lives where we faced different traumatic events and if we didn't have something for self-defense our lives would have ended up very much differently. I can share the trauma I encountered in my life that has led me to carry every day if any one was curious about it. The reason why continue to every day carry now is because we both live now closer to the country side and the response times for the sheriff to come out can take hours. We also have predatory wildlife out here that CAN kill a human being if they are hungry enough so that is another reason to carry for self defense. And finally to mention other people who don't respect property lines or ignorant vacationers (Karens) that think just because this is the country side that no one owns these private trails / land so they trespass and aren't always nice.
I would not call the first OP paranoid, I got my CCW and when I'm in public, I'm carrying concealed. Or open carrying anywhere that won't trespass me for it. Is it paranoia? Not really. Some people are looking to inflict harm or death on anyone and everyone that can't stop them. I grew up with no shortage of those people as classmates, I'm more familiar with it than I ever wanted to be.
However, most knives are much more suited for working rather than fighting. Particularly defensive fighting. They're threatening, absolutely, but not sufficiently effective for when shit still goes sideways. Your assailant isn't likely to make it, but it usually will take long enough that they can maim or kill you first.
Agree with everything here, especially the part about random people wanting to inflict harm. It’s very sad how sometimes you can’t feel safe anywhere because the thought that at any moment someone could try to hurt you or something is overpowering.
Love how the last OP spent hours giving a "tour" of nightmares. Giving the what was probably the most fictional, over the top, nightmare inducing stories to those two kids before giving the traumatized children back to the mother.
First story: I'm no burly man by any means, but seeing that, I would pull out my phone and loudly "talk to 911" about some stalker who has openly admitted to targeting a young woman I suspect to be a minor.
Maybe that will help him realize how his actions appear.
Not to mention, he grabbed her by the COLLAR. So, that could choke her. That is an aggressive and offensive maneuver, and cannot possibly be misconstrued as an innocent, "I was just trying to get your attention" move. Her COLLAR.
When fear kicks in, your fight or flight mode is automatically activated.
It is now fight, flight or freeze.
I'm betting it wasn't a question and it would have been "well now that you're open, I just need to grab a few things"
Do retail workers take it seriously when some wild Karen says they know someone in corporate/management?
No, we don't. Here's the thing. When you hear that as an actual employee, it's usually because Karen or Kevin is angry over some change made by corporate/management and they're taking it out on you, the low level employee who has no control over it. So, you just tell them to go right ahead and watch as nothing happens.
I'd have no reason to believe it to begin with. Important people of our store come in suit and are usually announced. As for managers... well I work there, I've seen them before like multiple times lol. They'll also wear their uniform and if they don't, they're off duty and honestly don't have any reason to say anything.
So yeah, people who say that kinda thing never worked in a store a day in their life xD
I have injured right shoulder, had it almost ten years and I hate when people pat it. In bad day, when I'm feeling crumby because insomnia or some other reason, I have almost punched several people who had done this. I have even also thought making some Mad Max style pauldron with spikes to me jackets so people stop doing it...
I know it’s not a mad max kinda jacket but their are certain leather jackets that have those spikes on them. They aren’t spiky but it’s annoying to lean and/or pat them. They’re usually on the back or on the shoulders and they don’t look tacky as they’re often put on jackets to make them stand out and they have designs and look cool.
@@niya4981 Yeah, the classic '80s punker style leather jackets! Probably still have to do it meself because:
a) Those usually don't come in me size, as I'm quite big dude.
b) If I would find one of right size, one made from real leather would probably cost too much for me
But luckily I happen to be quite handy with clothing, did study desinging and making them for 2 years before dropping out and still happen to do some as hobby.
I've had my left shoulder operated on twice. I hate it when people touch it. If they get the right (or would it be the wrong?) spot, it hurts!
@@dizzysdoings In me case it's just some wierd case were either all nerve or muscle connetion points are in kind of inflametary (? not native english speaker 😉) state on me shoulder area. When it's acting badly, the pain shoots throught me hole limb and using me fingers for finer motoristic action is very hard, like I can barely hold pen.
It might be caused by combination of rapid growth as kid and also that I did do lot of firewood etc that period. I did grow like more than half of me height in period of 3 years around age 10-13, 59 cm aka almost two feet inside one year and I couldn't partcipate sports for almost a year. Also puberty started around 9-10 years of age. And height growth ended around 14-15 years old.
Do it, that is a great way to get people to stop
First story, I've got the same thing about physical contact. No traumatic incident caused it, just is. I don't like being touched, especially by strangers. Anything close to violent will trigger instant rage. Only person I feel comfortable with physical contact is my long term bf.
Make sure to steer clear of deaf people then. It’s common for us to tap someone on the arm or shoulder to get their attention.
@@Renville80 a tap, probably okay. But grabbing, not okay. I don't like unsolicited hugs either. And if a deaf person wants my attention I'd hope they'd have the decency to come around to my front or side before trying to touch me.
Notes-
First story - Hero man sounds like the perfect example of 'not who a lot of people assume to be the good guy' type, and I LOVE IT!
2nd story - Yes, the threat is made....no, we usually don't take it seriously. Though, usually it's 'I know corporate!'...Yea right, trust us...if you knew corporate, you'd know they are useless.
the rest are just comically funny, and examples of Karens doing what Karens do best....making idiots out of themselves XD Though, hope the kids in the last story use the chance to learn the truth about animals and how to treat them, but odds are...mommy isn't gonna direct them in any good way.
Any time I've been out away from my usual area and needed a hand, it's always been the biker types that offer a helping hand first. Hell when collar was broke and I got a flat, I actually had my spare put on my truck by a patched in Celtic. Guy wouldn't even accept any money. So I drove down the road with him and bought him and his buddy each a beer and a burger.
@@Nempo13 Yea, I love these stories 'cause a lot of people don't realize how badly you can mis-judge people. My mom kept odd company, and I found out why. Basically, she hung with some real 'rebel cross' hicks, a couple bikers, some 'old school hood' type, and a few others that...well, lets just say when the crowd got together, it was an odd mix that has to this day messed with my ability to guage anyone I meet.
Told her she needs to get on Reddit, 'cause I can't remember most of them[and some I never got told at all, but I have enough clues to know /why/], but she says each of them have similar stories to things like this. called them 'The Happy Heros' of her life that kept her going when she needed help in unexpected ways. Even if by the time I came along, most of them had done their work, and were only chance-meetings and occational visits by the time I could remember. She made friends with everyone that helped her when life went bad...to a point she still gets updates on them, and them dropping by [the ones that are still alive anyways] now that the kids have moved away. Just to make sure she's safe.
1) That AH was lucky you didn't press charges for assault.
2) LOL
3) What an obnoxious person, sorry you even had to deal with that.
4) OMG, some people are so entitled. Glad she didn't get away with her bad behaviour.
5) Love how that worked out.
6) Best tour ever, LOL, and great end.
This is America (well, a large number of viewers are from there, I'd bet) and grabbing someone in a store is liable to leave you with a few more holes in you than you had when you entered the store. Do NOT put your hands on people. WTF, where is this OK?
i seen more bruised people then shot in stores i been to with grabbies. [america btw]
@@theldrakis In the past, I would have agreed with you, and to an extent I do now, but look at the story. Dude could have gotten perforated quite easily. These days, things are different than they used to be. People are crazier than ever, and with the virus and all, most folks don't want strangers anywhere near them. It's much better and safer just to keep your hands to yourself.
That being said, while the story about the young lady with the knife sounded real, the majority of 'Karen' stories are identical except for the name of the store. In 60 laps around the Sun, I've never even once had anything like that happen to me. Makes you wonder...
Why do they still pull that I know the manager/owner? If the person really works there, they will at least know the manager's spouses name as employees talk to each other.
That Karen with a question was probably only saying that to be let into the store, then once she was in then she could do a little shopping, "because I'm here already so you should just ring me up"
"Bat scat?" Is that Adam West singing like Louis Prima?
If OP at the zoo doesn't become a zookeeper, something is bad wrong.
OP 1 is not paranoid nor crazy. People like in her story be like that. Society needs to relearn how to treat other people, even in customer service situations.
On the off chance that OP from the first story reads this, you are a better person than me, I would have instinctively embedded the knife in him, which is why I don't carry knives in public.
Agree. In that situation my PTSD might have allowed the combat rage to return ... and anything within reach can be either a weapon or a distractor.
Why I don't own a gun. I have anger issues, and I worry that having a gun may have me do something I regret.
I may be paranoid, since I never intentionally injured anyone in my life. But I would rather not test it.
No views? What universe have I horridly stumbled into
In the first story I think you handled it just right. Always protect yourself when in doubt.
The young lady with the knife? Well done.
The amount of people who grab or even touch someone is astronomical. He’s lucky she didn’t stab him or worse
The 'Zoo one' was great; I actually listened to it a second time, I just love O.P.'s horror stories to the kids.
First Story
While yes taking a knife everywhere does seem paranoid, it’s really not, I mean in comparison what is, is people taking a gun to church.
That first one had me out of breath from laughing
Quick funny story (no Karens involved). I owned a coffee shop for a few years. My day would start at 5:00 a.m. My alarm would go off at 4:00. Sometimes, I would wake up early. I had amazing food in the shop (cooked to order breakfasts, fresh bagels, donuts, I would roast my own coffee...). But there is only so many times one can eat your own food in a row. So on those rare occasions, I woke up early, hungry, and knowing that I had a 16 hour day ahead of me, I would stop in at a local casino (I live in Nevada), and grab a 3:00 a.m. plate of food. It was nice to have someone else cook for me and no one ever blinked an eye.
Story 1 - I kind of wish more people did this now. I know it would probably end badly some small percentage of the time, but some part of me has to think the memory of people they grab pulling knives on them has got to penatrat even a Kevin/Karens mind. Once might not stop them, but if it happened a few times? You think they would at least not grab people before being horrible.
I work at a desk job and have 9 knifes on me before I'm out of my bedroom I also have a window breaking pen and a few other small things.
The utter brilliance of the OP in the last story is priceless!
I love your new avatar. The different poses and the way you use them are great. Love your channel.
No, it's not paranoid to carry a knife. I'm a small woman myself. The dude was acting like a stalker. I would have pulled any weapon at hand, even a pen, if grabbed.
I'm surprised Target didn't sue OP or the guy defending her, they've already done more lucrative in the form of suing a guy for stopping someone from stabbing a 16 year old girl to death. No, they didn't sue the offender, they sued the guy who saved her.
I just noticed your little character for face ,,
I love him, he's cute!!
I loved the zoo story, it was the right blend of I Don’t Work Here, Lady and Petty Revenge.
First story, I wish she had decided that she wanted the cops involved, because would love to see him explaining himself to them.
Creep: "I thought she worked here though!"
Cops: "Even if she had, it wouldn't have made it okay to grab her. Now hands behind your back."
We always got told when family members of people with power were coming in so we could be in tip top shape so anytime a customer spewed out something like that we automatically knew that it was untrue
I have a pretty basic “I know the owner” story:
I was working at a small, fast food shop that was situated directly underneath a nightclub and operated from 5pm til 5am. I worked from 10pm til 5am so almost all of my customers were intoxicated to some degree. This made for a lot of interesting interactions lol.
The customers often tried to haggle over the prices (to the point that we legit had a sign on the counter about it 🙄) but surprisingly enough I only had one time where a large male aggressively threw out the “I know the owner!” line.
Silly idiot didn’t know that the owner had SPECIFICALLY told me to never give discounts and that I was always free to refuse service to ANYONE for ANY reason, especially if they dropped that exact excuse 😂
Thankfully, working under a nightclub means you also have bouncers magically appear when ppl start yelling so I could laugh in his face, refuse to serve him then have security guards escort him from the premises 👍
I was taught as a young kid(about 10) to always keep a knife with me. You never know when it might come in handy
Fourth story: Is understandable if a kid breaks a glass and run, but an adult, that's crinchy.
Lol crinchy is cringy
That first one was the best. I bet that guy will think twice before he tries that again.
So....... she wants to ask just one (1) question. So OP gets closer where they don't have to yell. Aaaaaaaaaaaand instead of asking there. Brakes the glass and then runs off. I mean if they're not yelling at that point. WHY NOT ASK THE QUESTION THEN. Letting alone OP saying "I don't work here." Yeah I damn well know I am bringing logic into it but hot damn dude.
and i bet logic isnt in the karen dictionary......wait do they even know what one is? i mean it seems like they dont from not understanding "i dont work here"
@@theldrakis whats this *dictionary* you speak of?
I like that last story - what a clever solution!
I carry a knife everywhere, and have since I was about 10.
I love how you separate the different stories with the time cards or whatever you call them
All I can think of involving the last story is what hilarious explanation would op give if they ended up in front of a cassowary enclosure.
The OP in the first story is right to bring a knife everywhere with her. Lots of men attack women, even in broad daylight. I don't blame her for bringing it, especially when he was being a plain creep!
Ya thats true i do think more people should consider self defence itums to be that much safer.
However thir are most states that dont even have a self defence law wich i see as ridiculous most of those states with no such law have a pretty high crime rate i bet most of that would reduce if such laws were in place.
@@tsunsu no knifes or other sharp items or such are allowed to be on you in many places around the world because you can use them wrongfully...
@@PersonTP that part. People can loose their tempers. He could have been being honest that he grabbed her because he was angry she was ignoring him. Not that he should have grabbed her but…. she would have felt like crap for hurting him over a misunderstanding. OP may need some counseling. Most people just ask what’s up they don’t immediately grab a weapon.
Bit of a hate statement right there missy.... Not a lot of men attack women.... Most of us don't do that. It's just a few rotten eggs that do it, not a lot of us. Only a few. I'd say at least 90% of men behave normal. So please stop the hate against men and start being more respectfull and accepting of other genders. Don't hate.
I carry a pocket knife with me at all times plus I keep a full size knife close to were I sleep and I have a German Shepherd that will not let anyone come in without permission
I'm almost 70. I've been carrying a knife everywhere since I was a teen. My husband does also. They are sharpened, modified utility blades that spring open with a flick. I see nothing wrong with self-preservation, as well as carrying useful tools. Trust me, many times I've used my knife to cut apples, pizza, boxes etc.
Super important question of the Karen that shattered the glass? "What time do you close?"
The gas station story BTW is hilarious.
The sandwich one is funny lady has never heard of night, swing, and graveyard shift. First shift sometimes work as early as 4 depends on job. I know Sysco starts at 2 or 3 to make sure the delivery is there at 6.

*kronks voice* oh yeah it’s all comin together
First man was a stalker not a shopper. He was hoping for eye contact then to encourage her outside. If he had not grabbed her and she reacted that strongly, she may have been kidnapped out in the parking lot. It would be interesting to see if he has been criminally charged on similar incidents.
The last one was epic!!!
"A body with more plastic than our oceans", 🤣I love it.
It's not crazy to carry a knife these days especially as a women.and No one should be putting their hands on you ever !! The man who helped you sounds AWSOME !!
It says a lot about the mindset of these people who think they have the right to put their hands on people just because they think it's employee.
I should be working right now but I’m slacking off cause it’s a slow day
Dude should be glad he didn’t get shanked. By law, he would’ve deserved it.
I saw "Woolworths" and thought "You still have Woolworth's??? That was a great store (5 and dime), first opened in 1879, closed in the early 1990's." ( looking online, it appears there is a new, online presence, but it is different. "The store you grew up with, grown up". ) But no, Woolworths in Australia appears to be a grocery store, not the same at all ;)
Australian Woolworths has no affiliation to the US company, totally different owners. And its one of two major supermarkets here same as Coles, Aldi, IGA and about a dozen others.
You're not the only confused American whose always surprised at this. I have seen Aussies go to Woolies (our loving nickname) on TikToks and SO MANY AMERICANS say the same thing as you!
That's why we used to call it Safeway 🤣😅
But it's all Woolworths now.
@@Jandypoptvstars That's incorrect. Woolworths bought out the Safeway brand in 1985. The company itself was called Woolworths Limited in Aus then Woolworths Group as it owns multiple companies now. The very original store was in the Imperial Arcade in Sydney and it was funnily named Woolworths Stupendous Discount Basement!
New Zealand Countdown is also owned by Woolworths Group.
@@lmaree200886
I was making a joke. 🙄
FYI
I was born after 1985 and it was still called Safeway here in Victoria for a long time and has only recently completely changed to Woolworths.
@@Jandypoptvstars Didn't seem like a joke at all mate!
Those stores you say that were renamed were still owned by Woolworths since just before I was born 😁
“Ducks of Anarchy” is my new favourite phrase!!! A show I would watch just for the hilariously funny title! 😂 😂
6:30 It's always great to hug a cousin in front of strangers.
The Karen didn't have a question that's the lie they tell so they can get inside the store . And then once that door is unlocked, their question turns into how "I just need to get something real quick " , so yeah that's a bunch of crap and I'm glad she got arrested
Broken Glass Karen could’ve asked question from the outside. She wanted in for some reason. Thank you for these ! Great listens while doing chores 😊😂
It's absolutely not paranoid to carry a knife with you everywhere you go. They are incredibly useful tools and especially when it comes to self-defense can help even the odds for people who aren't as physically capable as others.
I work part time at a grocery store and I’ve encountered my fair share of entitlement, but surprisingly no one has used the “I know the manager line.”
I’ve had a lady be so entitled to demand that we drop everything that we’re doing to help her with her tedious and unnecessary requests and we’re forced to comply because her family spends a lot of money at our store.
I’ve had a Karen berate me on my second day on the job because the huge take n bake pizza she grabbed was too big for the cart she had. So in my attempt to bag and put away her pizza, some of the toppings, the UNCOOKED TOPPINGS, slid around the container, and for that she saw fit to start yelling at a 16yr bagger. Thankfully the nice couple behind her apologized for her actions and slipped me a $20 tip.
I’ve had a lady complain about me, about an error she caused, to me, not knowing it was me she was complaining about.
I’ve even seen some entitled people complain about pickles, orange juice, and even 9 cents.
😂😂🤦🏼♀️ Ducks of Anarchy 🤣🤣😂 I love it!
Hello, darkfluff I've been watching all your videos since I started watching last month so even though I'm pretty a pretty new subscriber I want to say that your videos are entertaining, great, and help alot of people. Thank you.
This first story is the shyyyt🤣🤣🤣She did what I like to think I'd do, not in target maybe, more so in the street or something to that effect!!
Now OP in the Zoo Is My Hero🥰🥰🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤎🖤🖤🤎🖤🤎🖤💯💯✌
"Has more plastic than our oceans"... *rolls eyes*. HAHAHAHA... sheesh.
I love that the last one was the perfect mixture of IDWHL, Malicious Compliance and Pro Revenge 😂
I definitely understand the girl in the 1st story! I'm pretty small (got bullied for it all throughout my school years) & I also carry a knife (& a gun & pepper spray everywhere I go). I woke up one day to being sexually assaulted (about 12 years ago) by my cousin's drunk boyfriend while crashing on their couch the night before a family party. My initial reaction was to start throwing fists & start kicking. I ended up breaking his nose, splitting his bottom lip open & splitting his eyebrow open. There was blood everywhere! He cowered in the corner & started crying & apologizing & saying he was just drunk & didn't mean it. After that happened I bought a gun, a knife & pepper spray that I have on me at all times. I'm not about to get violated like that ever again!
Geezus, did he get jail time at least?
Lol you do the best ‘Karan’ impression I have ever heard :)
A big standing ovation 👏!
That first story, what audacity that guy has to accuse her of being a "psycho" when she was just defending herself. There's a psycho in this situation, but it's not her!
The guy in the first story was definitely a stalker and most likely had nefarious intentions. He used the "I thought you worked here" excuse to cover that up. I don't think for a minute that he thought she worked there. Bravo to "Ducks of Anarchy" guy for stepping in! The last story - LOVED IT! Best revenge EVER!!!
First Story: It was the every day carry switchblade that my sister received from me as a birthday present that she used against some guys that tried to abduct her whilst coming home after work. She was commended by the police officers.
Think of a good knife in the same light as a condom - Better to have it and not need it, than to need it and not have it.
Either way it can be a life saver.
I love the comment, "she's old LOL so she forgot the sodas". The woman was probably in her early to late 40s, as I'm 43 I shook my head and was thinking "hahaha" on one hand, and "little bastard" on the other hand. Can't make up my mind whether to laugh or to murder, I must be getting old eh?
Old meaning probably in her 60's, there are still some teachers working for many decades. Not many left though.
Always carrying a knife isn't crazy at all. I too carry a knife everywhere. I have since high school, I've used it to defend myself and to help people from car accidents or other situations. Makes absolute sense to me!!
