@@jacknoe4024 Years ago I was managing a restaurant for some close chef friends. We had an excellent reputation for great food, exceptional service, and providing a wonderful night out. One evening my favourite waitress came to me & told me that a new bloke sitting with a table of lovely regulars was being rude & condescending towards her. I took over her section & waited for the inevitable. Sure as shit, this arsehole decided to do the one thing all servers detest - he snapped his fingers to get my attention. So, with my most dazzling customer service smile I walked over, leaned towards him and hit him with this: "Yes, sir. What would sir like me to do? Roll over, or piss on sir's leg?".

Once upon a time I was hired to watch a hotel parking lot on Black Friday and keep non-customers from parking there. This one guy pulls up, tells me he works for the government and I have to let him park there. He whips a piece of paper past my face, deliberately going so fast I can't read most of it. But the words 'Border Patrol' jump out at me in bigger letters than the rest. We have an argument that includes the exchange, "I'm gonna call my superior and report you to him!" To which I replied, "By all means, call your superior so I can report YOU for abusing your position." He threw quite a lot of other BS at me, including telling me that he was working undercover ("If that _was_ true then it's not anymore, because you just _blew_ your cover to some random night watchman.") In the end he turned around and got back out.

@@HappilyHomicidalHooligan She would have been arrested and charged for = Assault and battery, harrasment, theft, destruction of private property. And because of that child situation = Child endangerment.
I would have hit him with a stalking lawsuit. After all, old man sees pretty young girl... Does whatever he thinks he's allowed to do just because he has money.. and harassing her Infront of everyone? Mhm. Cops will believe the non-crazy.
Story 2 - It would be awesome if someone had recorded a video of the whole thing, posted it online and then finding out that the AH got fired from his job and it turns out he really was a lawyer.
He likely owned the lawfirm or is a partner, good luck getting him fired. However, he wasnt a lawyer because going on saying you are going to spread lies with country clubs and such would know is slander/libel.
Story 2: I hope he does try to sue, and takes this insanity before a judge, gets hit will all the filing, has to pay punitive damages and gets disbared
I get the sentiment but getting disbarred is actually a lot harder than people think. A lawyer filing what a frivolous lawsuit is unfortunately not enough to get disbarred. At least, not in America.
Yeah, and in most cases, the law doesn't even allow for recovering defense expenses, even if the lawsuit is completely frivolous, so if they did get sued, they'd still have to take time off work, deal with all the paperwork and jumping through all the legal hoops, and possibly even hire their own lawyer to defend them, all out of their own pocket, and not get any of that time/money back in the end. (It seems obviously stupid when you think about it, but it's also the way our system currently works...)
In the middle of the pandemic, one of our local restaurants got a license to put tables outside in their parking lot, to keep everyone safe. I, and a group of 6 other people, were inside. We all smoked at the time, and we all walked outside and down a sidewalk a bit to have a smoke. The kitchen was backed up and the wait was going to be a bit, which we were fine with. When we got back to our table, one of the owners (we were friends with them) came to our table laughing, because a table of Karens outside had complained to her that maybe the kitchen staff needs to stop smoking and get back to work since the wait was longer than normal. She thought my group was the kitchen staff. The owner had to tell them all that we don't work there. 😂 I guess we ALL gave off line cook vibes, which we have all done in the past, but haven't done in many years.
I work as a cashier at a grocery store and I haven't been the target of something like this, but the amount of times I had to inform customers that our courtesy clerks or other staff can't just suddenly jump on a register to help with the lines is rather high. Like, it isn't just about pressing random buttons, you have to log into the register so it knows who is doing the transaction and they requires them to have access to it, and not everyone working in the store has that access. Some of our courtesy clerks aren't even old enough to work a register as they have to be old enough to sell alcohol in our store.
@@barbiek3987 Which then turns into abuse of power when the student fights back (not literally) and the the said teacher calls them a trouble making delinquent.
Final Story - Yeah chances are Karen didn’t learn anything and is still raging on about how OP ‘assaulted’ her and destroyed her gloves, basically screaming that everything is someone else’s fault but hers.
And, from the description of the scene, it s likely that she caused all the blockage, by not waiting behind the truck, and letting oncoming traffic pass. I’m willing to bet, that she wasn’t taken away in cuffs for assault, but obstructing emergency vehicles.
Story four... That B Teacher needed arrested for assault and property damage, as well as being fired.😡 Last story.... Rabid raging Karen got her dose of karma! 😂
Story 2: If i was OP's manager I would be putting an official complaint in on the entitled lawyer's account with a permanent ban from my location, and a warning for the rest of his group. Next I would find out who his employer was and send them a strongly worded letter stating that Entitled Lawyer is no longer allowed at our chain for his harassment of staff offsite on their days off. That his behavior is completely unacceptable and that I hoped that his behavior is not indicative of the behavior of the other lawyers there. Also since he threatened to sue the entire group with him is not allowed on property until after the lawsuit and a copy of this letter and all associated files/accounts are being sent to our lawyers for review to prepare for a counter lawsuit for defamation, harassment, emotional damages, and lost business due to the short term shortage of staff that his behavior caused.
That 'lawyer' wouldn't have anything like a case and would probably not even get as far as court. - I have known really rich people, and he sounds like someone with assets, maybe, around a million, so in the world of financial power, only a pissant little fish. No real threat, just a nuisance.
Besides, in a zomebie apocalypse those types of people are usually the first to go because they can’t learn how to look after themselves due to them being pampered all through their lives.
I know someone who is quite wealthy but you wouldn’t know by looking at him. He drives a pickup truck just like everyone else in town and even had a 9 to 5 job just for something to do (he owns some land that sits above a good sized deposit of oil and gas).
Story 2: Man, some people have all the dollars, but no sense. Like, OP may work at a hotel, but the work STAYS at that hotel. And yeah, I doubt he has that much influence, he's just some loser with a lot of money
Story 2: OP should have responded with "Slavery was outlawed in 1865...attempting to force someone to work without pay is illegal...as a lawyer you should know that." Story 4: OP could have pressed criminal charges on Karen for Assault of a Minor child since Karen put her hands on OP to steal the radio...which she then destroyed. Story 5: OP should REALLY get back at Karen by getting a restraining order against her...she would never be able to go past OP's house again :)
Story 2 and 3 Jeez a lot of Americans seem to think that when you work at one place, your responsibilities continue elsewhere. It’s not only just been entitled, it’s also them not looking out for the health and safety of the person. Here in New Zealand once your shift is over you’re not covered under Work related ACC. I don’t know what your rules in America are if the person has finished their shift.
Last story- Oh goodness, please tell us there is a follow up and the trash man is okay! That must have been so frightening for his partner. Goes without saying Karen is a piece of garbage herself.
I've heard this story on Fluff before. Also judging from how OP was able to throw their trash in the back, this story is probably at least a decade old.
That sub teacher was to busy with her power trip to even be bothered about her students & Karen from the last story well you could say she had a rubbish day 😂😂😂❤
Story 2: The response should've been, hey (husband) did you know there are apparently lawyers who are grown men that have tantrums? I thought only two year olds had tantrums. Hmm you learn something new every day. Let's not raise our children to be like that. Then ignore him.
Story 2: He thinks he's an elite but he's not. What people in power don't seem to get is that they're not the ones who make the food, who farm the land, make our clothes, or gather the materials. If the people truly held the power, the ones who do those things stopped working and told them to try their jobs for a week, most if not all of them would quickly realize where the true power is because if they go, you'll need to replace them, and eventually the process will repeat until they have to do the work.
Stories 1, 2, and 3: I see these entitled people as MERE FLIES. Looking upon people with lesser status like that, flaunting their wealth and power like that. Story 4: If you are a new substitute teacher, I guess you should KNOW YOUR ROLE, especially with the regular employees... Story 5: "Haste makes waste." COB, in her haste, became real angry at OP, causing her to not go to work that day but caressing the fat bars of her jail cell.
I'm not staff story: No OP, you did exactly right calling her out. She KNEW you weren't staff simply because I'm certain a 50's style polka dot dress was not even close to the staffs uniform. She was being rude to be rude and didn't care. She only became polite because you could have told on her (which you did) and gotten her in trouble with the families. Well done! Hotel vs restaurant story: Just because you work hospitality in one place doesn't mean you work hospitality everywhere, let alone when you're off the clock. Seafood vs Italian story: Same thing, just because you're a server at one restaurant doesn't make you a server anywhere else. Sub teacher story: Definitely don't need an idiot of a Karen for a teacher, substitute or not, anywhere. Garbage story: Karen was in the wrong the moment she got out of her car.
There was a lawyer who filed against several homeowners near me to seize their houses because he didn’t like homeowners complaining about the regional airport across the street where he kept his private plane. His plan was to sue some of the homeowners and then go after the rest of us. He did this on Christmas Eve. He was know as a jackass by EVERYONE. He once let a motorcycle club party all Labor Day weekend at one of his houses to punish the neighbors. Well court date came and the courthouse was full of lawyers wanting to see him go down (they hated him). Judge did not disappoint. Gave him the riot act and awarded damages to the homeowners. 🤣
Story #1, I would have said, " 'Your Excellency.' " "What?" "I am a Baroness. The correct mode of addressing me, therefore, is 'Your Excellency.' " (Court ecclesiastical, not court royale, as it's one of my titles as a card-carrying minister type for my particular faith...but it still counts!)
God bless that old lady owner from Story 2. I have a grandmother just like that who's gentle and sweet, but will also tell a dirtbag where to shove it.
First story: I always keep something snarly, sassy or horrible to say to a karen. I was humilliated enough to learn and practice (I'm grateful to this page).
I worked briefly for a NYC lawyer who had a farm upstate and really believed that the whole world had nothing better to do than wait eagerly for him to tell them to do something and he always ALWAYS haggled price.
the last karen to grab my shoulder from behind in Malwart got a do-si-do swing into the Ragu shelf. i told the security guy i'd be in the store shopping when the cops needed a statement to file charges. she never stopped screaming and cussing until they cuffed and stuffed her. maybe not even then. karens are nuts.
Story 4: I never understood why a "No Admittance" or an equivalent sign makes a door or the room beyond so enticing. The reality is most people would be completely underwhelmed by whatever is behind the door and would probably immediately close it after a quick look if there was no sign on it. Unless Karen had intent to steal items in the storage, I'm not sure why she cared.
Refusing to get him a glass of water outside her place of employment on her day off? What lawyer would be able to dance around that to make it hold up in court?
Solid gold a*$ story - a) you snap your fingers at me, you're going to have a long WAIT for any type of service. b) get you a refill - sure, as you will be WEARING IT! Would have been funny as all get if someone in earshot was also a LAWYER to take up the case!
What? Lawyer guy swears he will never come back? That would be doing everyone a favor. Had I been there and been brave, I would have thanked him for that. The thought of how pissed he would be is just so delightful.
First story: Seriously, did that Karen seriously forget how badly she treated a random lady at the wedding party? I love the Idon'tworkherelady videos you do.
Not exactly relevant here, but story #4 reminded me of a German language teacher we had in high school. We called her Darth Vader, cuz her name sounded similar. She was a nightmare, everyone stiffened up just at her approach. More strict than a conservative grumpy grandpa. She gave the option however to switch to a different teacher at any time, who taught those whose first language choice wasn't German. Funny thing is, everyone who decided to stay with her graduated with As and a German language degree to boot. Not a single one was left behind and just before graduation, she gave free drinks and home made cookies to all her students and congratulated them all with a wide smile. Told them she's proud of them all. Friend went to her class, I mainly studied English.
Reading the comments on the lawyer story I was going to comment that in England he would probably have been in serious trouble with the relevant disciplinary body depending on what type of lawyer. Both Solicitors and Barristers have a disciplinary offence of bringing the profession into disrepute which is a wide catchall offence and covers being convicted of any criminal offence. Harrassing a member of the public would almost certainly be covered.
"basically thought his ass was plated with gold which we lower lifeforms, born into servitude, were just dying for the honor of kissing it" OMG the command of English required to dish out this description! I LOVE IT!!!
If he was any good as a lawyer, he'd know not to start making threats. That's an easy way to get your suit thrown out and be countersued for harassment.
9:02 Story 2: I _almost_ wish OA *was* a lawyer and filed suit against Opie (Fairle) - he sounds like the kind of asshat who has developed many enemies that would happily defend her for free and get him disbarred for the good of society. _Almost._
In the second story, when the hotel manager threw out the entitled jerk, they should have let the man’s group know who’s fault it was that they were thrown out. I’m sure the jerk would be yelled at by his angry group
For the bigshot lawyer who thought the hotel worker should serve him in the cafe, there can be only one answer. "Do you have a bill of SALE for me? No? Then piss OFF!!!"
Do customers not understand that when they "threaten" to never come back, to never use the service, etc, that everyone thinks "thank God" followed by "I need to let the others know" Everyone is trying not to start partying straight away while those customers are still in close proximity Do those idiots really think when staff say stuff like "I'm sorry you feel that way" means they care about that empty threat? NO the do not. They are merely praying to let it be true so that they never have to deal with those morons anymore
Today at work, an older lady didn't believe me when I said that her insurance didn't work. She called her insurance's company they told her why it didn't work and she calm down.
the irony of the entitled guy trying to scare everyone into doing his bidding is that he mentioned at one point that he was in a comp room. Does that mean he wasn't even paying for his room? and although he "do you know who I am frequently, he never seemed to actually say who he was. probably because he wan't anyone important.
If I was ever told "I'm a lawyer" and knew their name and where they were from... and they were using it for harrassing... I would file a complaint with the bar association... where if they are a lawyer... would have a huge issue. If they are not a lawyer, they would also have a huge issue for impersonating an Officer of the Court.
Story 1 There’s good and bad everywhere, don’t judge all by the snobs in your life. Im Scottish btw. In saying that one of the kindest women I know is English. You be you and if your Scottish 🏴 husband loves you in the dress, that’s ALL that matters.
If the horrible hotel guest really is an attorney and he's threatening lawsuits to bully and intimidate others, he very well may be violating the rules of professional conduct. If he was just acting like a jerk in public, It might be different. but once he communicates, roughly, that he's lawyer so they all better watch out as he's going to sue them, he is bringing his law license into this. His behavior is then behavior in which he is engaging as an attorney, arguably, and not just behavior in which he is engaging as a private person. There is no lawsuit that you can file because a stranger won't bring you a beverage at a restaurant where they don't work. The only cause of action that I can think of that has even the most vague resemblence to the situation is negligence. For negligence, generally someone else to have a duty to the person who wants to sue to do something or not do something, and they have to have failed to fulfill their duty, and that failure has to have caused harm or damages to the person who wants to sue. First, OP had no duty as to the horrible hotel guest, and in fact she has no duty to do anything at all. Second, because OP had no duty, there can't be a failure to fulfill her duty. Also, even if the above were not true, what could he claim as damages? What injury or loss could he claim he incurred? Maybe there is some cause of action I'm not considering, like "tortious interference with quiche," maybe? Anyway. If he really is a lawyer, he would be completely aware of this. Even a first year law student would be completely aware of this. The general population might not know this sort of thing, though. So an attorney could use there more extensive knowledge in order to intimidate non-attorneys in a way that is arguably inappropriate and unethical. For a lawyer to verbally abuse someone like that and threaten to sue them and destroy them financially through this lawsuit would be bad behavior for sure, but when the lawyer knows that he's misrepresenting the law and claiming he has the ability to file a lawsuit against the owner and OP, that looks like he is acting with malice in misrepresenting the law in order to harass, manipulate, and intimidate others. I don't know what the rules of professional responsibility are in the state where he is admitted to practice law, but if a lawyer behaves that way, there might even be grounds to file a grievance with the attorney licensing body in that state, such as their Bar Association. I don't intend any of that as lega advice, and I don't intend it as any sort of professional analysis or anything like that. It's always important to speak with a qualified licensed attorney in your state when you have questions regarding the law. This is just something that occurred to me as I was listening to the account. It occurred to me that as obnoxious as this man is, he could maybe get himself in a lot of trouble depending on the rules of professional responsibility in his state.
When you and your group are at a nice hotel and you had your rooms comped the best thing to do is keep smiling and be nice because you're staying there for free and that free room can be yanked out from under you in a heartbeat if you piss off the management and a great way to piss off the management is to try and start crap with the employees.
on the final story i hope theres an update. hoping the garbage guy is ok after that stroke. glad he was with someone. when my grandpa had his, he was alone for two days before anyone noticed. he survived for a couple months after, but passed away while still in the hospital. i miss him dearly. we were thick as theives

I'd tell him "You're a very special kind of stupid, aren't you!?" 😂
I would have hit him with a stalking lawsuit. After all, old man sees pretty young girl... Does whatever he thinks he's allowed to do just because he has money.. and harassing her Infront of everyone? Mhm. Cops will believe the non-crazy.
With what money? She did say she had a minimal wage job, right?
Can't get blood out of a turnip!@@CRSB00
i wonder if the old lady is related to someone of the hotel lol
Last story: I hope the garbage guy was able to recover, strokes are not to be taken lightly
Story 2 - It would be awesome if someone had recorded a video of the whole thing, posted it online and then finding out that the AH got fired from his job and it turns out he really was a lawyer.
He likely owned the lawfirm or is a partner, good luck getting him fired. However, he wasnt a lawyer because going on saying you are going to spread lies with country clubs and such would know is slander/libel.
@@Ryanthusar yeah you gotta point.
@@Ryanthusarand don't forget tortous interference in an employment relationship.....
@@Ryanthusar it would actually be easy, you can get him disbarred
Story 2: I hope he does try to sue, and takes this insanity before a judge, gets hit will all the filing, has to pay punitive damages and gets disbared
I get the sentiment but getting disbarred is actually a lot harder than people think. A lawyer filing what a frivolous lawsuit is unfortunately not enough to get disbarred. At least, not in America.
Yeah, and in most cases, the law doesn't even allow for recovering defense expenses, even if the lawsuit is completely frivolous, so if they did get sued, they'd still have to take time off work, deal with all the paperwork and jumping through all the legal hoops, and possibly even hire their own lawyer to defend them, all out of their own pocket, and not get any of that time/money back in the end.
(It seems obviously stupid when you think about it, but it's also the way our system currently works...)
In the middle of the pandemic, one of our local restaurants got a license to put tables outside in their parking lot, to keep everyone safe. I, and a group of 6 other people, were inside. We all smoked at the time, and we all walked outside and down a sidewalk a bit to have a smoke. The kitchen was backed up and the wait was going to be a bit, which we were fine with. When we got back to our table, one of the owners (we were friends with them) came to our table laughing, because a table of Karens outside had complained to her that maybe the kitchen staff needs to stop smoking and get back to work since the wait was longer than normal. She thought my group was the kitchen staff. The owner had to tell them all that we don't work there. 😂 I guess we ALL gave off line cook vibes, which we have all done in the past, but haven't done in many years.
I work as a cashier at a grocery store and I haven't been the target of something like this, but the amount of times I had to inform customers that our courtesy clerks or other staff can't just suddenly jump on a register to help with the lines is rather high. Like, it isn't just about pressing random buttons, you have to log into the register so it knows who is doing the transaction and they requires them to have access to it, and not everyone working in the store has that access. Some of our courtesy clerks aren't even old enough to work a register as they have to be old enough to sell alcohol in our store.
Story 4 - I really wonder why certain people even want be teachers when they have bad personalities towards other people.
Power over those who can't fight back.
@@barbiek3987 Which then turns into abuse of power when the student fights back (not literally) and the the said teacher calls them a trouble making delinquent.
Again, if you have to ask "do you know who I am?" you are not important enough for it to matter.
Dude just passed the bar and thought he was king of the world.
S2. Cafe owner lady? You, madam , are a bloody legend! Kudos
Final Story - Yeah chances are Karen didn’t learn anything and is still raging on about how OP ‘assaulted’ her and destroyed her gloves, basically screaming that everything is someone else’s fault but hers.
Typical Karen logic, I guess.
@@AndyJade-df6dj Yup.
And, from the description of the scene, it s likely that she caused all the blockage, by not waiting behind the truck, and letting oncoming traffic pass. I’m willing to bet, that she wasn’t taken away in cuffs for assault, but obstructing emergency vehicles.
Anyone who says "Do you know who I am?" is no one worth knowing.
Story #2: Now THERE'S a "lawyer" who NEEDS to get eaten by a Tyrannosaurus Rex! (Jurassic Park movie reference)
Yep!! 😆😆😆
😊
A group of velociraptors would teach him a lesson but yes, bring on the big girl
Nice!😂😂😂😂
Weird Al parody!
"Why do sharks not eat lawyers? Professional courtesy!" 😂
“Can I get YOU something though?” 😂
Story four... That B Teacher needed arrested for assault and property damage, as well as being fired.😡
Last story.... Rabid raging Karen got her dose of karma! 😂
Story 2: If i was OP's manager I would be putting an official complaint in on the entitled lawyer's account with a permanent ban from my location, and a warning for the rest of his group. Next I would find out who his employer was and send them a strongly worded letter stating that Entitled Lawyer is no longer allowed at our chain for his harassment of staff offsite on their days off. That his behavior is completely unacceptable and that I hoped that his behavior is not indicative of the behavior of the other lawyers there. Also since he threatened to sue the entire group with him is not allowed on property until after the lawsuit and a copy of this letter and all associated files/accounts are being sent to our lawyers for review to prepare for a counter lawsuit for defamation, harassment, emotional damages, and lost business due to the short term shortage of staff that his behavior caused.
That 'lawyer' wouldn't have anything like a case and would probably not even get as far as court. - I have known really rich people, and he sounds like someone with assets, maybe, around a million, so in the world of financial power, only a pissant little fish. No real threat, just a nuisance.
Besides, in a zomebie apocalypse those types of people are usually the first to go because they can’t learn how to look after themselves due to them being pampered all through their lives.
I know someone who is quite wealthy but you wouldn’t know by looking at him. He drives a pickup truck just like everyone else in town and even had a 9 to 5 job just for something to do (he owns some land that sits above a good sized deposit of oil and gas).
Isn't it nice when lawyers abuse their power? 🤦🏻♂️
Story 2: Man, some people have all the dollars, but no sense. Like, OP may work at a hotel, but the work STAYS at that hotel.
And yeah, I doubt he has that much influence, he's just some loser with a lot of money
as Smash Mouth said: Your brain get smart but your head get dumb.
"Stupid is as stupid does!" 😂
@@ryukaze7392 RIP, Steve.
Story 2: OP should have responded with "Slavery was outlawed in 1865...attempting to force someone to work without pay is illegal...as a lawyer you should know that."
Story 4: OP could have pressed criminal charges on Karen for Assault of a Minor child since Karen put her hands on OP to steal the radio...which she then destroyed.
Story 5: OP should REALLY get back at Karen by getting a restraining order against her...she would never be able to go past OP's house again :)
Amendment XIII has an exception for inmates working labour. Slavery is not completely outlawed in the States.
Story 2 and 3 Jeez a lot of Americans seem to think that when you work at one place, your responsibilities continue elsewhere. It’s not only just been entitled, it’s also them not looking out for the health and safety of the person. Here in New Zealand once your shift is over you’re not covered under Work related ACC. I don’t know what your rules in America are if the person has finished their shift.
The same, but there are plenty of insanely self-entitled people.
S2: “I’ll never come back!” Is that a promise?

@@JohnH20111I'd tell 'em "I'll hold you to that!" 😅
Last story- Oh goodness, please tell us there is a follow up and the trash man is okay! That must have been so frightening for his partner. Goes without saying Karen is a piece of garbage herself.
Just like Veruca Salt, Karen got thrown away and she would meet a rather different set of friends.
I've heard this story on Fluff before. Also judging from how OP was able to throw their trash in the back, this story is probably at least a decade old.
That sub teacher was to busy with her power trip to even be bothered about her students & Karen from the last story well you could say she had a rubbish day 😂😂😂❤
Had I been a witness to that event, I'd play Veruca Salt's Oompa Loompa song on full blast after Karen gets arrested.
Story 2: The response should've been, hey (husband) did you know there are apparently lawyers who are grown men that have tantrums? I thought only two year olds had tantrums. Hmm you learn something new every day. Let's not raise our children to be like that. Then ignore him.
Every lie we tell incurs a debt to the truth.
Sooner or later, that debt is paid.

Story 2: He thinks he's an elite but he's not. What people in power don't seem to get is that they're not the ones who make the food, who farm the land, make our clothes, or gather the materials. If the people truly held the power, the ones who do those things stopped working and told them to try their jobs for a week, most if not all of them would quickly realize where the true power is because if they go, you'll need to replace them, and eventually the process will repeat until they have to do the work.
Last story: i hope the garbage guy is ok.
Stories 1, 2, and 3: I see these entitled people as MERE FLIES. Looking upon people with lesser status like that, flaunting their wealth and power like that.
Story 4: If you are a new substitute teacher, I guess you should KNOW YOUR ROLE, especially with the regular employees...
Story 5: "Haste makes waste." COB, in her haste, became real angry at OP, causing her to not go to work that day but caressing the fat bars of her jail cell.
The substitute teacher was probably trying to get OP fired so she can take their spot as a full time teacher.
It's a sure sign that this person has never had a job when they think all servers must serve wherever they are! 🤷🙄
Last story. I had a bad feeling about the garbageman that whole story. Hope he was ok and makes a full recovery.
I'm not staff story: No OP, you did exactly right calling her out. She KNEW you weren't staff simply because I'm certain a 50's style polka dot dress was not even close to the staffs uniform. She was being rude to be rude and didn't care. She only became polite because you could have told on her (which you did) and gotten her in trouble with the families. Well done!
Hotel vs restaurant story: Just because you work hospitality in one place doesn't mean you work hospitality everywhere, let alone when you're off the clock.
Seafood vs Italian story: Same thing, just because you're a server at one restaurant doesn't make you a server anywhere else.
Sub teacher story: Definitely don't need an idiot of a Karen for a teacher, substitute or not, anywhere.
Garbage story: Karen was in the wrong the moment she got out of her car.
Garbage story … I suspect Karen was in the wrong, before she got out of her car, by insisting on her “right of way” over everyone else’s.
@@nela9994 Agreed and I have little doubt of it. But she was definitely in the wrong leaving her running car in the traffic lane.

Story 1: For people like that witch, everyone outside of their social circle is a servant😒
I'd want to talk to the partners of his law firm about his crappy behavior being bad for their PR...
There was a lawyer who filed against several homeowners near me to seize their houses because he didn’t like homeowners complaining about the regional airport across the street where he kept his private plane. His plan was to sue some of the homeowners and then go after the rest of us. He did this on Christmas Eve. He was know as a jackass by EVERYONE. He once let a motorcycle club party all Labor Day weekend at one of his houses to punish the neighbors. Well court date came and the courthouse was full of lawyers wanting to see him go down (they hated him). Judge did not disappoint. Gave him the riot act and awarded damages to the homeowners. 🤣
Fluff, your voice is so relaxing, even with the tooth-clenching stories you tell! 😂
Story #2 woman needs to ask why her husband wasn't involved a bit sooner. It would have been my pleasure as a man to tell that guy to eff off.
Story 1 - that woman was NOT upper class. There's a famous saying: "those who matter, don't mind; those who mind, don't matter."
That last one is a certified Ice Queen.
Story 2: he probably just gets off on the power trip of ordering people around and most people are too afraid of losing their jobs to say no.
Story #1, I would have said, " 'Your Excellency.' " "What?" "I am a Baroness. The correct mode of addressing me, therefore, is 'Your Excellency.' " (Court ecclesiastical, not court royale, as it's one of my titles as a card-carrying minister type for my particular faith...but it still counts!)
God bless that old lady owner from Story 2. I have a grandmother just like that who's gentle and sweet, but will also tell a dirtbag where to shove it.
First story: I always keep something snarly, sassy or horrible to say to a karen. I was humilliated enough to learn and practice (I'm grateful to this page).
I worked briefly for a NYC lawyer who had a farm upstate and really believed that the whole world had nothing better to do than wait eagerly for him to tell them to do something and he always ALWAYS haggled price.
the last karen to grab my shoulder from behind in Malwart got a do-si-do swing into the Ragu shelf. i told the security guy i'd be in the store shopping when the cops needed a statement to file charges. she never stopped screaming and cussing until they cuffed and stuffed her. maybe not even then. karens are nuts.
I love how it's always the "rich" people get all their rooms comped. Shit like that happened all the time at the hotel I used to work at.
Story 4: I never understood why a "No Admittance" or an equivalent sign makes a door or the room beyond so enticing. The reality is most people would be completely underwhelmed by whatever is behind the door and would probably immediately close it after a quick look if there was no sign on it. Unless Karen had intent to steal items in the storage, I'm not sure why she cared.
Barbra Streisand effect-something that is behind a wall screaming "Forbidden" will get more attention.
@@JamesDavy2009 I guess, like putting a "DO NOT PUSH" sign next to a big red button...🤣🤣
Refusing to get him a glass of water outside her place of employment on her day off? What lawyer would be able to dance around that to make it hold up in court?
Solid gold a*$ story - a) you snap your fingers at me, you're going to have a long WAIT for any type of service. b) get you a refill - sure, as you will be WEARING IT! Would have been funny as all get if someone in earshot was also a LAWYER to take up the case!
What? Lawyer guy swears he will never come back? That would be doing everyone a favor. Had I been there and been brave, I would have thanked him for that. The thought of how pissed he would be is just so delightful.
First story: Seriously, did that Karen seriously forget how badly she treated a random lady at the wedding party? I love the Idon'tworkherelady videos you do.
Not exactly relevant here, but story #4 reminded me of a German language teacher we had in high school. We called her Darth Vader, cuz her name sounded similar. She was a nightmare, everyone stiffened up just at her approach. More strict than a conservative grumpy grandpa. She gave the option however to switch to a different teacher at any time, who taught those whose first language choice wasn't German. Funny thing is, everyone who decided to stay with her graduated with As and a German language degree to boot. Not a single one was left behind and just before graduation, she gave free drinks and home made cookies to all her students and congratulated them all with a wide smile. Told them she's proud of them all.
Friend went to her class, I mainly studied English.
Story 1: Ask the mother her feelings on the current state of the ole Empire, then walk away
Reading the comments on the lawyer story I was going to comment that in England he would probably have been in serious trouble with the relevant disciplinary body depending on what type of lawyer. Both Solicitors and Barristers have a disciplinary offence of bringing the profession into disrepute which is a wide catchall offence and covers being convicted of any criminal offence. Harrassing a member of the public would almost certainly be covered.
"basically thought his ass was plated with gold which we lower lifeforms, born into servitude, were just dying for the honor of kissing it" OMG the command of English required to dish out this description! I LOVE IT!!!
If he was any good as a lawyer, he'd know not to start making threats. That's an easy way to get your suit thrown out and be countersued for harassment.
It is too bad no one was in the restaurant live streaming that on TH-cam so that everyone knows what kind of a jerk the guy is.
I swear some people don't seem to know how employment actually works.
Rule of thumb. If they have to use the phrase "Do you even know who I am?" then they're a nobody.
9:02 Story 2: I _almost_ wish OA *was* a lawyer and filed suit against Opie (Fairle) - he sounds like the kind of asshat who has developed many enemies that would happily defend her for free and get him disbarred for the good of society.
_Almost._
Story 3: not all school districts require subs to be credentialed because it’s cheaper.All I can say is “You get what you pay for”
In the second story, when the hotel manager threw out the entitled jerk, they should have let the man’s group know who’s fault it was that they were thrown out. I’m sure the jerk would be yelled at by his angry group
I’m not a lawyer, but on what grounds did he even think he could possibly sue?
For the bigshot lawyer who thought the hotel worker should serve him in the cafe, there can be only one answer. "Do you have a bill of SALE for me? No? Then piss OFF!!!"
Do customers not understand that when they "threaten" to never come back, to never use the service, etc, that everyone thinks "thank God" followed by "I need to let the others know"
Everyone is trying not to start partying straight away while those customers are still in close proximity
Do those idiots really think when staff say stuff like "I'm sorry you feel that way" means they care about that empty threat?
NO the do not.
They are merely praying to let it be true so that they never have to deal with those morons anymore
Today at work, an older lady didn't believe me when I said that her insurance didn't work. She called her insurance's company they told her why it didn't work and she calm down.
I’d file a complaint with that lawyer’s state Bar.
Isn't sueing someone because you don't like them is frivolous? I think that's a frivolous lawsuit and would be laughed out of court.
What an episode. Those were all next level bananas!
the irony of the entitled guy trying to scare everyone into doing his bidding is that he mentioned at one point that he was in a comp room. Does that mean he wasn't even paying for his room? and although he "do you know who I am frequently, he never seemed to actually say who he was. probably because he wan't anyone important.
Oh those entitled Karen's. 😂
DA Fluff always makes my day! Hats off to him!
If I was ever told "I'm a lawyer" and knew their name and where they were from... and they were using it for harrassing... I would file a complaint with the bar association... where if they are a lawyer... would have a huge issue. If they are not a lawyer, they would also have a huge issue for impersonating an Officer of the Court.
Story 1 There’s good and bad everywhere, don’t judge all by the snobs in your life. Im Scottish btw. In saying that one of the kindest women I know is English. You be you and if your Scottish 🏴 husband loves you in the dress, that’s ALL that matters.
If the horrible hotel guest really is an attorney and he's threatening lawsuits to bully and intimidate others, he very well may be violating the rules of professional conduct.
If he was just acting like a jerk in public, It might be different. but once he communicates, roughly, that he's lawyer so they all better watch out as he's going to sue them, he is bringing his law license into this. His behavior is then behavior in which he is engaging as an attorney, arguably, and not just behavior in which he is engaging as a private person.
There is no lawsuit that you can file because a stranger won't bring you a beverage at a restaurant where they don't work. The only cause of action that I can think of that has even the most vague resemblence to the situation is negligence.
For negligence, generally someone else to have a duty to the person who wants to sue to do something or not do something, and they have to have failed to fulfill their duty, and that failure has to have caused harm or damages to the person who wants to sue.
First, OP had no duty as to the horrible hotel guest, and in fact she has no duty to do anything at all.
Second, because OP had no duty, there can't be a failure to fulfill her duty.
Also, even if the above were not true, what could he claim as damages? What injury or loss could he claim he incurred?
Maybe there is some cause of action I'm not considering, like "tortious interference with quiche," maybe?
Anyway. If he really is a lawyer, he would be completely aware of this. Even a first year law student would be completely aware of this. The general population might not know this sort of thing, though. So an attorney could use there more extensive knowledge in order to intimidate non-attorneys in a way that is arguably inappropriate and unethical.
For a lawyer to verbally abuse someone like that and threaten to sue them and destroy them financially through this lawsuit would be bad behavior for sure, but when the lawyer knows that he's misrepresenting the law and claiming he has the ability to file a lawsuit against the owner and OP, that looks like he is acting with malice in misrepresenting the law in order to harass, manipulate, and intimidate others.
I don't know what the rules of professional responsibility are in the state where he is admitted to practice law, but if a lawyer behaves that way, there might even be grounds to file a grievance with the attorney licensing body in that state, such as their Bar Association.
I don't intend any of that as lega advice, and I don't intend it as any sort of professional analysis or anything like that. It's always important to speak with a qualified licensed attorney in your state when you have questions regarding the law. This is just something that occurred to me as I was listening to the account. It occurred to me that as obnoxious as this man is, he could maybe get himself in a lot of trouble depending on the rules of professional responsibility in his state.
Love the Karen's who"threaten" to never come back. Promise?
When you and your group are at a nice hotel and you had your rooms comped the best thing to do is keep smiling and be nice because you're staying there for free and that free room can be yanked out from under you in a heartbeat if you piss off the management and a great way to piss off the management is to try and start crap with the employees.
"I'm not happy.".. "then which dwarf are you??"
on the final story i hope theres an update. hoping the garbage guy is ok after that stroke. glad he was with someone. when my grandpa had his, he was alone for two days before anyone noticed. he survived for a couple months after, but passed away while still in the hospital. i miss him dearly. we were thick as theives
I’m a waitress and sometimes I get people like woman in story 1. Part of me wants to be like ok if you think you can do better please grab a tray and let’s go
People like story 2 and 3 should be made to serve for free for a month at random places. So they can understand what the fuck it is they're asking for
Story 4: She'll be leaving the School with egg on her face when she realizes that OP is not a student....Oh, look...she got fired! Good riddance!
Thanks for the great bedtime storys

Story 1: OP says she married a Scotsman, but then called him British? Oh the insult….lol
Britain = England, Scotland and Wales. What’s the problem? Also, the UK can’t decide if it’s one country, four countries, or something in between. Its citizens should not expect others to know either.
