We can't tell for sure. Cops need to take weapon threats very seriously, whether fake or not. Consider that they did end up calling their supervisor for a reason, but it does strike me odd that no one thought about checking the cameras, perhaps no one else knew?
They didn’t need to investigate his claims in their eyes. Dude still had a weapon on him. What would they do if he actually did threaten to attack her? They just ask him hey man, do you have a knife on you/ did you threaten her? Oh you didn’t? Alright you’re free to go. Y’all are ridiculous trying to blame the cops in this story. It’s the woman’s fault, not theirs. They found a weapon on a dude after being told he threatened someone with a weapon, they just supposed to let him go because he said it’s not true? Literally not their fault, it’s just their job.
"Yes, people just _love_ dressing up as Target employees for halloween." Fun fact: I actually DID dress up as a Target employee last halloween since we were allowed to wear costumes at work! ....I work at Walmart XD
Mike's mom have such a big heart despite the misunderstanding. She even raise a good son. I would agree with fluff. The world would be a better place with more people like her.
Officer: Well, we reviewed the footage and found out that we were lied to our face. You're free to go. Me: That is the most pathetic apology I've ever heard in my entire life.
Indeed, they should've done more. They weren't really professional in the situation and presimably didn't follow their training. That apology was just pathetic
Honestly, the 4th story really pissed me off. The fact that the Police just took her words when she claimed being threatened by a knife without even investigating, and expected the guy to prove he did no such thing while the woman didn't have to prove she was threatened, really makes me angry. While the plice was simply doing their job, it annoys me they'd not even investigate. They could have ruined that guys life, just because they didn't do their job properly.
They did investigate and found a pocketknife on him... that was safely secure and tucked in his pocket so obviously it was used as a weapon mere seconds beforehand. What did the cops think OP was... quickdraw mcgee. I think there was an element of big strong scary man vs sweet innocent girl playing out here.
@@joshduthie3401 No, they did NOT investigate. They were going to take him on her word. It wasn't until SEVERAL MANAGERS of the guard company and the building along with the police sergeant arrived did they bother to do any investigation.
@@scottcooper4391 I thought that was what he was going to do when he got the manager to come over. I know I would have if I was him. It was a sweet story still.
Did Karen stop to think that she was endangering OP’s life by saying that he had/was using a weapon? No? It’s just okay to abuse police procedure to traumatize and endanger someone? Okay cool.
Karens like her don't care about others-She wouldn't care if he were fatally harmed by the police and would think that she's 'doing the world a service'!
OP and his friend gets an A for staying calm. Karen gets an F. In my case it means F off. The Officers get a C. Yes they were following procedures but then they acted like-
@@GoldPrince2468 Procedure is for one officer to cover while the other does a pat-down search. It is not procedure to draw your gun on someone just because someone says they were threatened with a knife, and then cuffing and arresting without even seeing the alleged weapon. That cop saying he was being charged with possession of a deadly weapon needs to go back to the police academy. A keychain pocket knife clears TSA scans, so a weapons charge is totally bogus.
@@markrahm6900 or the story is bullshit like 99% of all stories read on this channel. Plus before they would have took their guns out, they would ask for his company ID plus his California security guard license. Especially if he was in company uniform. She had to have the same type of uniform or at least a polo with the logo of the company on it. Also when the regional manager was there, the police would be talking to him as the boss of the supervisor and would have resolved it really fast.
story 4: incompetent police officers and a corrupt legal system, didn't take his statement, didn't let him talk, didn't find any evidence to prove his guilt just instantly believes the woman accuser then pointed a gun at OP and put him in handcuffs, if the friend hadn't arrived OP would be in jail. hope the cops got fired and the woman jailed.
Imagine yourself as one of the cop. "What's the problem here?" One answered, "No problem, officer." The other answered, "He has a knife!" What will you do? It's easy to judge the cops because you follow OP story. But as someone plunge into the situation without prior knowledge, I'll bet my lunch money that you'll do the same as those cops do.
@@gorilladisco9108 I think RandomAsshole's complaint is that they didn't follow up and take his statement after he was 'disarmed' and in custody. Thankfully this is a moot point. That is the fakest story I've heard from that subreddit in some time.
It was not even a "he said she said" situation yet. Two people present, only one got to speak. When it was a "she said" situation they had no problem acting but then suddenly they could not take sides when new info arrives. These guys should not be officers of the law. They should work somewhere as far from that position as possible.
The story about Mike's mother warmed my heart. ❤ This reminds me of my darling mother and strong father who would do anything to help people who are down on their luck. Although they aren't alive anymore, this story broke me into tears, reminding me of my wonderful parents. Thank you so very much for putting this story online. It's so good to hear about others who looked at life like my parents did, and turned their thoughts into actions, helping others. More stories like this please.
@@og_3rd_st_saint_gat ya that’ll definitely help your situation. Fight a cop while they think you threatened someone with a knife, that’ll really show them.
@@jacksnow2401 Right! I don't think they even asked for his side till their leader showed up and he acted professional in the situation by doing so. Honestly, it sounded like they didn't care about any ones story but hers... They didn't even try to get a manager or anything of the sort and if his buddy hadn't been there they probably would have just taken him away no other questions asked...
I remember a Hawaiian woman didn't want to give me her email because she thought I was going to so something with it. Lady with your account open I can see all your contact information, home address, and card # that I had to repeat during the call. But the email address was too far.
Right. And when you do have to take their credit card info when they act like that it's funny. Cause when I worked in a pizza delivery I entered countless cc info, never remembered a single one. I don't even know my own cc info by heart
Many people have some very strange ideas about how email works. (I wanted to say "older people," but since I'm close to 70 I couldn't bring myself to do so.) They hear stories about identity theft, and get the notion that anyone with your email address can log into your email account, because they simply don't understand. When you run into someone like this, your best answer is to explain it to them as simply as possible, and give them a few tips about how to choose a strong password. Present them with ways that they can GENUINELY protect themselves from identity theft. You may make a friend that way. And always remember: "ignorant" doesn't mean "stupid." Ignorance is fixable.
Last story: I love how determined she was to feed him and not only that but to have him sit with her and eat and not just give him food. That is going the extra mile. I know sometimes homeless people are so lonely on top of being hungry and she was trying to make it sound like he would be doing her a favor to sit and talk to her while they ate together. Just so sweet. Its so heartwarming. I love stories like this.
All the people defending those cops are beyond deluded. Yeah, if somebody threatens another with a knife, they should totally be arrested! But the problem is that they didn't bother to even ask OP what his side was, they were completely content with throwing him in a cell based upon what the woman said alone. That is NOT what their job is. They're required to get all testimonies from the people involved, not to mention, the first thing they should have done regardless is check the camera footage. There is zero reason for anybody to defend them. It seems as if just because OP had a puny little pocket knife, yall count that as evidence that the cops' piss poor attempt at their job was justifiable.
Not defending the cops.....op did the right thing just do as you are told.cops hold all the power in situations like that. was it morally wrong yes but legally wrong no. Now if he went to jail he could sue for wrongful imprisonment But that did not happen. It's just a sad fact of Life power is a dangerous thing. What the saying "power corrupts absolute power corrupts absolutely" right? I hope the person in charge of the two cops ripped them a new one afterwards.
Imagine yourself as one of the cop. "What's the problem here?" One answered, "No problem, officer." The other answered, "He has a knife!" What will you do? It's easy to judge the cops because you follow OP story. But as someone plunge into the situation without prior knowledge, I'll bet my lunch money that you'll do the same as those cops do.
The first thing that a person accused of a violent crime is definitely to detain him and they did so. Keeping the gun on him after he was disarmed and in cuffs was excessive and paranoid but cops that aren't paranoid tend to become dead cops. They hadn't asked OP his side YET, but they hadn't started to leave the scene either. They didn't throw him in jail. They were getting all the testimonies. They were dealing with all the added personnel as they came in. They were still in the process of sorting it out. Puny little pocket knives are still knives and the fact he had one on him lends credence to the statement "I was threatened with a knife". They were perfectly within their rights to keep him detained while sorting it out. He's a guard and probably big and strong. They were correct in not taking chances. Cops screw up all the time. They aren't perfect. This was NOT one of those times.
Actually, HE COULD SUE THEM. He was non combative and Could EASILY PROVE HIS STORY. And yes, they were within their rights to place him in cuff's for their safety, we don't live in a country that believes you ARE GUILTY UNTIL PROVEN INNOCENT. THEY SHOULDN'T HAVE HAD TO HEAR OPS FRIEND TELL THEM IT WAS A MISTAKE BEFORE THEY CALLED THEIR SUPERVISOR. AND IF OPS FRIEND HADN'T BEEN THERE..THEY WERE ALL ABOUT BOOKING HIM JUST ON THAT PSYCHO BITCHES LIE. Which would then have become a false arrest and illegal detainment. Don't reply with more stupid.
@@og_3rd_st_saint_gat I have watched a lot of videos of people who are still able to be a threat weather it be in hand cuffs or shoot, but then again it’s California a hell of violent areas and the worst most corrupt people on the planet so the police are doing what the laws there say so.
Bruh what? What did the cops do wrong, it’s not like they knew he didn’t threaten her, all they saw was a man with a knife and a woman saying he threatened her tf? If someone threatened me with a knife I’d pray to GOD they arrest the guy before they stop to ask him if he actually threatened me or even had a knife. That’s literally their job.
This reminds me of my own story. I used to help my friend read water meters for our water district. He started his own company and sometimes found himself understaffed so I'd get a days pay and he'd get work done. Win win. So I went to this one ladies house, and I'm wearing a big orange vest that says WATER on the back. And we have sheets of paper that tell us where to find the meter. Well hers wasn't where it was supposed to be and this woman had fulled her yard with old junker cars. Trash, and rusty bits so I didn't fancy crawling around to see if she covered the little in-ground door that houses the meter (paper said it wasn't a house attachment and should be in the front yard.) Usually I tried to avoid knocking on doors and bothering people but after having a look around I paused to consider knocking to ask where the meter was because I just couldn't find it. I looked across the yard to this house which had dark windows on a Monday afternoon and figured nobody was home, shrugged, marked down I couldn't find the meter, and turned to leave. Thats when Karen came bursting out the front door, running down the driveway and screaming at me. She's shouting that I'm a theif who's casing her house and bla bla bla. I just calmly tell her I'm from water and power here to check her water meter. And here's the kicker, not only does this woman not know where her own water meter is, she doesn't know WHAT it is. 🤦 She demands to see my "license" to do what I'm doing. Spoiler, not every job has a "license," and goes on and on and on. I'm just like, "well if you don't know where your meter is and you clearly don't want me here... " and start filling out a card. She looks confused and I hand her the door hanger we leave in some neighborhoods where the water meter is in the basement. It has all the information that I was here, tried to do my job, and what numbers to call. It also has the name of the water district. "Go ahead and find it, then call your water company to let them know what it says so you don't get overcharged. Bye " Then I go to leave as she's standing there still trying to argue I should have some form of identification. It seemed to click that I wasn't a theif as she tried to stop me from leaving saying "I could call my husband to see where it is..." And I'm like "nope, you don't want me here, I already spent more time than I should, bye." And I left and privately cried a bit as the adrenaline wore off because I really don't handle confrontation well. TLDR; woman with nothing of value in her garbage dumb of a yard "protects" her trash by making me cry.
First story: People like that Karen are the kind of people who anyone wants to break their jaws because they don't even deserve to be able to speak. This one really got me. (I'm mexican.)
Sadly, there are a lot of fhem running around here these days..they usually have a red hat collection and give most of their cash to a bogus "election defense fund".
This episode reminded me of my own "I Do Work here lady" moment, where I was the one who mistook my boss for a customer X'D my boss was in civilian clothes because he did an overnight at our store, and when I came in to work (an opening shift, while the store was still closed) I saw him and I sheepishly was like "umm.. Sir? We're not open yet, how did you get in?" and then he turned around and I saw his face and I turned bright red. We both laughed about it. I miss that man, he was a great boss to work for.
Deal with "do you really work here?" about once a week. Being a short, super young looking girl (like 1/3 my actual age) and having massive twin-tails, I get asked about once a week, are you really the pilot? Yes ma'am I am your Captain for this flight, welcome aboard. Ive never had anyone make a huge deal about it, and we usually get a good laugh about it when I show off the stripes on my shoulders like a kid that just got an awesome toy.
The cops were absolutely in the wrong. Not for pulling a gun on an unarmed man, not for cuffing him, not for detaining him. They're in the wrong for failure to investigate. Detain the potential attacker, *then* investigate the claims. As far as the story read, OP never even got to give his side of the story. His friend was the one who had to give it. And the officers hadn't even looked for cameras, had they? The proper way to have handled it would have been to *calmly* ask OP to put his hands behind his back, cuff, and detain him. Once detained, begin gathering *both* sides of the story. Then make a quick precursory glance to see if there was any kind of surveillance or cctv system. Upon spotting it, determine the PoC for the building and request cctv logs. No gun drawn, no extra life-threatening situations, and no violation of due process. Instead, the cops believed her because she was a woman and that was that. Reverse the roles and there would have been a much different story.
Story 1: Wow, so not only was Karen racist, but thinks that everyone from South America (based on her response to where OP was from) is Mexican. Also, I bet that she would still act that way if she talked to an American worker and said worker asked the same thing
There are those who think Puerto Rico, Hawaii, and Guam are foreign countries, (sure, they are if you are not living in the States) making me wonder whether they passed geography in middle school. Basic rule of thumb: If visiting someplace does NOT require a passport, barring connecting flights, it is part of the country you have citizenship of.
@@Mercadian and I've tried to explain this to my mother that several states here in the US belonged to Mexico until about what 1848 to 1850, and that all of those people there, while technically Mexican are now natural Americans. Telling them to go back to their country is like saying what? Go back and what? Start a second secession from the US? Good gravy some old folks just can't grasp that they never immigrated here cuz they are from "here". All the while my grandmother her mom(Germany), and my grandfather (Ireland) were both born in other countries which makes us immigrants. I keep hoping as that racist generation passes away it takes these racist ideas with them. Not that I want my mom to pass but some things need to change. Shes getting better about it either that or shes hiding it better
I mean, even leaving out the obvious racist BS, how else did she think she was going to be able to update her credit card info? SHE called the number. And it's not like there's some sort of magical system that automatically updates stuff just from the last 4 digits. If you go to Amazon and want to put in a new CC, you need to type everything in. It's no different if you do it over the phone.
Ya they’re kinda supposed to. You want them to stop and ask the guy who threatened you with a knife if it was true before they arrest him? That’s not how it works.
I think pulling out taser would be more appropriate than pulling out gun, but threats with weapons have to be taken seriously whether they're false or not, they can't know. I am surprised she didn't get harsher sentence for this, because such false accusation could cost lives.
@@michaelpontifex6797 it’s astounding to me when people freak out at cops for arresting people they had reason to believe were in possession of a deadly weapon.
I like the last story. It wasn’t a Karen causing problems but a sweet old lady trying to be helpful to someone that possibly could have been in need. Even if she was mistaken she had a heart of gold and we need more women like her in the world.
Yeah, you could basically say that this was a Karen of a different kind. A heart-of-gold Karen (so to speak) who is willing to help others and not take "NO" for an answer. I also love to hear stories like this.
I love the story of Mike’s mom. As much as I love your posts I miss not having as many wholesome stories. Keep up the wonderful work. It helps get me through my day.
With how violent American police are, the 4th Karen should have been charged with attempted murder. Anyone who make false claims like that to the police should be.
I’ve talked with a few police. Are there a few who fit the violent description? Yeah. Only about single digit percents of them though, probably the same ratio as every day people. However you never know who’s going to respond. And trying to ruin someone’s life for completely no reason at all is just… what the heck? I found myself in a similar situation once, except her kids blew it for her before it ever got that far. Scary, scary stuff. It really should be a serious crime because you’re trying at the very least to ruin someone’s entire life for 0 reason.
That last story with the Old Lady is my favorite one out this edition. I love people like that. Sometimes they seem to just show up when you just need that little reminder that this type of person still exists in the world.
Mike's mom was a great one, I was chuckling throughout picturing the scene, the opposite of a Karen, nice way to finish up, there ARE still many many wonderful people, everywhere.
In these cases where that woman accused op of threatening her with a knife and then is proven to be lying literally beyond all doubt with the audio\video evidence, she should have been charged as though she'd committed the same crime as the accusation seeing as that level of proof would easily see someone charged if OP was indeed threatening with the knife
After that story with the cops pissed me off so much, I needed that wholesome last story with that wonderful kind sweet little old lady! We need more people like her in the world. ❤️
@@sergiom3988 Target employee Tbh when OP said he was wearing a shirt with red stripes and Karen thought it was a costume, I kinda just pictured OP looking like Where’s Waldo lol
@@kranberry3318 I was thinking something similar. I kept expecting the customer to say to the OP something along the lines of, "All right, I found you, Waldo. Now go find me a Target employee."
Story 4: Why do I get the feeling that the supervisor was just pissed that she didn't get who she asked for? Perhaps she asked for her boyfriend or something. Her solution? Get who the head office sent arrested. I'd almost bet that she hadn't been in that position very long and/or the power just went to her head. As for how the cops acted, they may have seen her there before, but he was new, so they might have assumed that she was telling the truth. They do take weapon accusations seriously, so I can't fault them for cuffing him, but went a bit far by keeping a gun pointed at him. Another thing to remember is that this happened at the height of the # metoo and the 'believe all women' movements. This story shows where and how these things can be misused, even if they are, in spirit, good ideas.
That last one reminded me of when I was a teenager. I lived in a seaside town and loved swimming, and so did my best friend. We had been in town and wanted to go swimming, in early spring, overcast sky, still a bit cold, and we had no swimwear on us. We still went swimming. Came out, dried ourselves off on our clothes, as we swam in our underwear, and left our shoes off so the sand would shake off when they dried. Walking through town to get to our bus stop, it started to rain, so we looked even more dishevelled. Some people stopped us and offered us money, we did not know why till it dawned on us how we must have looked. We said no to the money and tried to explain we had just been swimming, but they gave us money anyway. Late 1980s.
Hey Fluff, another great video with excellent stories. As for the last story, I can relate because my parents were a lot like Mike's mom. They took in my uncle, my mom's younger brother, when he was thrown out at 15 by their adopted mother. My parents had us kids, .gov older brother, myself, and my younger sister, and we were all under at 5. They helped him finish school, get his long haul trucker license, and took care of our two cousins while he worked after his 1st wife ran off with a guy she met in a bar. Then, a few years later, my mom's oldest sister came and dumped her 5 kids at our house. My Dad was a career Navy Master Chief, and we lived in a 3 bedroom apartment on base. So it was cramped to start, but my parents made it work by giving the oldest daughter the small bedroom, and my sister and cousin got to share the little bit larger room. (It was my brother's and my room btw.) Then the living room became the 5 boys room which included my seriously sick/handicapped cousin who was 10 like myself. He had gone cancer in his hip, and yes, he was in full remission by the time their mother came back for them 3 years later. Turns out their father went to prison for 20 years for embezzlement of $250,000 and his wife got 5 years, but served 3. My parents made it work for all of us kids, and their mom was released so she could take back custody. We are still close, and she divorced her crook of a husband. Turns out he had her open bank accounts in her name to hide the money, and that's why she went to prison. So while our parents were not perfect, they had big hearts, and worked hard to take care of not just us, but other family members, and friends in need.
Last story really reminded me of my dear mother. She was just the sweetest person ever! She helped some folks who looked like they needed a little extra help to get by. I miss her so much, and I hope I can someday live up to that example.
Story 1: this sounds like social engineering. She was trying to scam the bank. She didn’t have the full number and was probably planning to use a pre registered card on a web site.
“That lady over there said” is one of the most dangerous sentences you can ever say. I honestly don’t know why being a woman makes someone instantly believable? Like, women lie, guys.
As do men. Women AREN'T instantly believable, or instantly believed. In most situations a man's word will be taken over a woman's, automatically. However, when the police get a report of someone having been threatened, by someone larger than herself (which is usually the case in a "he said, she said" situation), they're pretty much obliged to side with the potential victim. It hasn't always been this way. A few decades ago I lived in a duplex, with a female friend in the other half of the duplex, and I would regularly hear her boyfriend hitting her. I talked to her about it, and finally got her permission to call the cops the next time it happened. And do you know how the cops handled it? Since the boyfriend had left when I yelled that I was calling the cops they couldn't immediately arrest him. They could, however, have taken his work address - my friend offered to give it to them - but for some reason they decided that woudn't work. Instead, the most important thing on their minds was to give my friend a lecture about how SHE was at fault for not having called them sooner. Do you think she EVER called the cops for help again? I don't. There have been a lot of stories about women who called the police to report abuse and were dismissed by the cops because the man came across as a good, dependable man, and shortly after that the woman was murdered by him. As a result, the cops in most jurisdictions are now required to take these reports seriously.
@@margretrosenberg420 That's not the point. Point is that there's people out there who instantly believe women, what this person meant is that these cops were being sexist. I don't know why you went out of your way to type this whole paragraph I won't even read
@@Godzilladino If you haven't even read what I had to say your claim that I was wrong to say it is suspect. MY point is that most police departments have instituted policies that REQUIRE their officers to assume that claims of assault are credible, precisely because the opposite used to be the norm, and it got a lot of people, especially women, killed. Don't respond to comments you haven't bothered to read. It just makes you look ignorant, and, in this case, sexist.
@@Godzilladino YOU DIDN'T EVEN BOTHER TO READ MY COMMENT! Since I'm obviously female, and you proceeded to attack my (unread) comment, that makes you LOOK sexist. Note: I never said that you ARE a sexist; I said that your response makes you LOOK like a sexist. And you still haven't responded to my point that most police departments now REQUIRE their officers to take such reports seriously. If you don't like it you can work to change it, but expect an uphill battle because there are too many of us (men as well as women) who remember what it was like when the implicit bias in favor of men held sway.
LMFAO if I was the locksmith guy, I'd have called the owner and told him "Your WIFE is here preventing me from working" and handed Karen the phone. If the owner had to deal with it first hand, he may have evicted her lol.
The police/knife story: I would sue the police for unnecessary use of force. He was clearly unarmed when they saw him and he didn't made any threat to her or them. Pulling a gun on him and threaten to shoot him... And @DarkFluff Not only the Karen was loony, the cops too.
Story 3: Cops dropped the ball for not arresting Karen for filing a false report. OTOH it wasn’t a violent crime accusation, so they probably wanted to save themselves a headache over the paperwork. /shrug
If I was op in the last one I would've find it sweet and amusing. That lady won't take no for an answer trying to help is so sweet! Sometimes they are too embarrass to accept help which is why a little nudge is needed.
Think we need more story’s like the last one here, after hearing how bad some people are to other’s. Can say this ended on a very happy note. Keep up the great work fluff monster. Big smiles from the UK 🇬🇧
I can so relate to the first story on so many levels. I use to work box office at a live theater and some of the calls from these “entitled” people was insane. I had one woman asking me for my home # in case she needed to change her tickets again if I wasn’t in that day. I told her that I’m not giving out my personal # and, I couldn’t help her from my home but, anyone here working could help her. To her this was unexceptional and started cursing at me. So, I just said goodbye and hung up. I put a red flag on her account with a brief description. She immediately called back which my manager answered and, told her her money is being refunded but, she is permanently band from the theater. He put this notice on her account.
I often secretly hope the lovely humans in these stories actually read/hear them from the POV of the poor soul who had to deal with their logic/lack there-of. I also hope they read the comment sections and feel the burn.
Story 2: Karens thinking that OP is an employee and Karens who don't think OP is an employee this feels kind of like Bizarro's Logic in DC Comics: sometimes Bizarro is friendly to Superman, othertimes he's Superman's enemy. Sometimes Bizarro is Superman's friend, so Bizarro must kill Superman (Bizarro logic is bizarre for a reason).
Few weeks ago at my Call Center Job: "Thank you for calling so and so this is M speaking. To whom do I have the pleasure of speaking with?" Karen: "I can assure you it will not be a pleasure! So where are you located?" Me: "Kansas" K: "So you aren't from Jamaicaaaaaa or the Philippiiiiiiines?" Me: *click* Yeah I don't deal with that.
I’ve tried to explain to mom multiple times upon times that if SHE calls a legitimate number (as opposed to one she’s received a call from) it’s fine to give her info to them.
Usually. People can and have spoofed real sites and given false phone numbers to intercept calls. Less likely than if they call you but it can still happen. People suck.
Not true. Scammers will create numbers that are just 1 number different than the legit business and plaster that in the Google search results. As well as make fake websites with their numbers that are soooo similar, most people don't notice. I have seen websites like Amazons or wallmart and they pay to get them high views on Google searches, hoping people won't notice, and they often don't. Scammers are evil but not dumb.
I've been addicted to this channel for a while now, and it's just crazy how often Karens lie to police that they were threatened with a weapon to get their way. At least they often get their comeuppance for lying
I WAS SO IMPRESSED WITH THE LAST STORY HOW THE RESTAURANT OWNER BUMPED INTO THE MOTHER OF THE CHEF,HOW NICE SHE WAS +HOW SHE THOUGHT BY MISTAKING THE OWNER FOR A HOMELESS PERSON.
These stories are so funny that I have to laugh. I can see you standing there telling these stories and several of your fellow employees are there too. When you get to the funny part we all break down and laugh. I love being included in your stories.
The cops did nothing to investigate the claims that woman made. Just believed her story, could've ended his life that night and their was no apology
It's sad but that's how it goes they always seem to take her side and never The males side
We can't tell for sure. Cops need to take weapon threats very seriously, whether fake or not. Consider that they did end up calling their supervisor for a reason, but it does strike me odd that no one thought about checking the cameras, perhaps no one else knew?
Facts those chotas should be fired
They didn’t need to investigate his claims in their eyes. Dude still had a weapon on him. What would they do if he actually did threaten to attack her? They just ask him hey man, do you have a knife on you/ did you threaten her? Oh you didn’t? Alright you’re free to go. Y’all are ridiculous trying to blame the cops in this story. It’s the woman’s fault, not theirs. They found a weapon on a dude after being told he threatened someone with a weapon, they just supposed to let him go because he said it’s not true? Literally not their fault, it’s just their job.
They are U.S cops. They are supposed to be r3t@rded and incompetent and trigger happy.
"Yes, people just _love_ dressing up as Target employees for halloween."
Fun fact: I actually DID dress up as a Target employee last halloween since we were allowed to wear costumes at work!
....I work at Walmart XD
Red and white striped shirt+ blue jeans= where's Waldo. I like your style though.
That's gold.
You messed so many Karen's up thst night. Good job! LOL
Well played!
Omg I love that!
Mike's mom have such a big heart despite the misunderstanding. She even raise a good son. I would agree with fluff. The world would be a better place with more people like her.
I have been told several times that I dress like I'm homeless. The only problem I have with that is that homeless people ask me for money.
Am I the only one that thinks, "make them both single and this is how they get together" would make a great Lifetime movie?
That was so wholesome! I absolutely loved it!
@@indigowulf that would be an interesting movie to watch
I'm late to the party here but hearing about Mike's mum gave me the goofiest grin on my face.
Officer: Well, we reviewed the footage and found out that we were lied to our face. You're free to go.
Me: That is the most pathetic apology I've ever heard in my entire life.
Well it isn't one, police do not even apologize when they murder people. They are not good people.
Indeed, they should've done more. They weren't really professional in the situation and presimably didn't follow their training. That apology was just pathetic
He was lucky it wasn't at the end of the month,else he would been arrested or shot.
I would have demanded a apology.
@@Godzilladino If I heared it right, there was no apology.
Honestly, the 4th story really pissed me off. The fact that the Police just took her words when she claimed being threatened by a knife without even investigating, and expected the guy to prove he did no such thing while the woman didn't have to prove she was threatened, really makes me angry.
While the plice was simply doing their job, it annoys me they'd not even investigate. They could have ruined that guys life, just because they didn't do their job properly.
They did investigate. There's a reason people get charged with making a false police complaint, because even investigating can be a punishment.
@@joshduthie3401 Did they? What investigation did they do before they handcuffed the guy and put him in the car?
@@joshduthie3401 no they didn't
They did investigate and found a pocketknife on him... that was safely secure and tucked in his pocket so obviously it was used as a weapon mere seconds beforehand. What did the cops think OP was... quickdraw mcgee. I think there was an element of big strong scary man vs sweet innocent girl playing out here.
@@joshduthie3401 No, they did NOT investigate. They were going to take him on her word. It wasn't until SEVERAL MANAGERS of the guard company and the building along with the police sergeant arrived did they bother to do any investigation.
Last story: YAY to Mike's Mom! Such a sweet, caring lady. Loved hearing that story! ❤
OP should have comped her meal :)
@@scottcooper4391 I think he did 🙂
@@scottcooper4391 like siss said, I think he did lol.
@@scottcooper4391 I thought that was what he was going to do when he got the manager to come over. I know I would have if I was him. It was a sweet story still.
That lady was so aggressively nice. I love it.
Story 4: If that's how the supervisor could treat other people, she isn't really fit to be a supervisor
Welcome to Corporate America!
I'm curious as to why she was so butthurt over it not being who she wanted;was she knocking them up? Was she knocking off stock? What?!
Did Karen stop to think that she was endangering OP’s life by saying that he had/was using a weapon? No? It’s just okay to abuse police procedure to traumatize and endanger someone? Okay cool.
Karens like her don't care about others-She wouldn't care if he were fatally harmed by the police and would think that she's 'doing the world a service'!
If Police Procedure is to threaten with a gun someone thats being handcuffed Over a Keychain Blade then yall are Much worse than i expected
OP and his friend gets an A for staying calm.
Karen gets an F. In my case it means F off.
The Officers get a C. Yes they were following procedures but then they acted like-
@@GoldPrince2468 Procedure is for one officer to cover while the other does a pat-down search. It is not procedure to draw your gun on someone just because someone says they were threatened with a knife, and then cuffing and arresting without even seeing the alleged weapon. That cop saying he was being charged with possession of a deadly weapon needs to go back to the police academy. A keychain pocket knife clears TSA scans, so a weapons charge is totally bogus.
@@markrahm6900 or the story is bullshit like 99% of all stories read on this channel. Plus before they would have took their guns out, they would ask for his company ID plus his California security guard license. Especially if he was in company uniform. She had to have the same type of uniform or at least a polo with the logo of the company on it. Also when the regional manager was there, the police would be talking to him as the boss of the supervisor and would have resolved it really fast.
In the second story, I would be tempted to say "I COULD show the cashier how to do it, Karen, but according to you, I don't work here, so tough luck."
That last story was sweet.
The ladies heart was in the right place but it wouldn't hurt to listen to someone so you can get the full story.
Well she probably thought he would have been lying to refuse help.
Some people do not like taking help, even in bad situations.
story 4: incompetent police officers and a corrupt legal system, didn't take his statement, didn't let him talk, didn't find any evidence to prove his guilt just instantly believes the woman accuser then pointed a gun at OP and put him in handcuffs, if the friend hadn't arrived OP would be in jail. hope the cops got fired and the woman jailed.
Imagine yourself as one of the cop. "What's the problem here?"
One answered, "No problem, officer."
The other answered, "He has a knife!"
What will you do?
It's easy to judge the cops because you follow OP story. But as someone plunge into the situation without prior knowledge, I'll bet my lunch money that you'll do the same as those cops do.
@@gorilladisco9108 I think RandomAsshole's complaint is that they didn't follow up and take his statement after he was 'disarmed' and in custody.
Thankfully this is a moot point. That is the fakest story I've heard from that subreddit in some time.
I agree with you random they should had gotten both sides instead of simping for Karen
@@Jermbot15 They don't have the chance because OP friend showed up. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
It was not even a "he said she said" situation yet. Two people present, only one got to speak.
When it was a "she said" situation they had no problem acting but then suddenly they could not take sides when new info arrives.
These guys should not be officers of the law. They should work somewhere as far from that position as possible.
The story about Mike's mother warmed my heart. ❤ This reminds me of my darling mother and strong father who would do anything to help people who are down on their luck. Although they aren't alive anymore, this story broke me into tears, reminding me of my wonderful parents. Thank you so very much for putting this story online. It's so good to hear about others who looked at life like my parents did, and turned their thoughts into actions, helping others.
More stories like this please.
17:22 I am SO glad to hear that Karen was put in handcuffs and arrested. Absolutely beautiful! What a pathetic spiteful woman!
Story 4: The cop needs a lesson as well. Threatened with a pocket knife? Really? The only way he could harm her is if he got lucky and hit a vein.
Facts he does tbh if that was me that chota would not be going to arrest me cause I'm resisting that
And also why would the guy be under arrest for a "he said she said" situation? Did they even get his side of the story before he was in cuffs?
@@og_3rd_st_saint_gat ya that’ll definitely help your situation. Fight a cop while they think you threatened someone with a knife, that’ll really show them.
@@aggroblu9753 bro pocket knives don't count so they got no grounds
@@jacksnow2401 Right! I don't think they even asked for his side till their leader showed up and he acted professional in the situation by doing so. Honestly, it sounded like they didn't care about any ones story but hers... They didn't even try to get a manager or anything of the sort and if his buddy hadn't been there they probably would have just taken him away no other questions asked...
I remember a Hawaiian woman didn't want to give me her email because she thought I was going to so something with it. Lady with your account open I can see all your contact information, home address, and card # that I had to repeat during the call. But the email address was too far.
Right. And when you do have to take their credit card info when they act like that it's funny. Cause when I worked in a pizza delivery I entered countless cc info, never remembered a single one. I don't even know my own cc info by heart
🤣🤣🤣 common sense ain't so common
Many people have some very strange ideas about how email works. (I wanted to say "older people," but since I'm close to 70 I couldn't bring myself to do so.) They hear stories about identity theft, and get the notion that anyone with your email address can log into your email account, because they simply don't understand. When you run into someone like this, your best answer is to explain it to them as simply as possible, and give them a few tips about how to choose a strong password. Present them with ways that they can GENUINELY protect themselves from identity theft. You may make a friend that way. And always remember: "ignorant" doesn't mean "stupid." Ignorance is fixable.
The G4whatever story. If I were OP. I would've sued Karen for mental anguish that she had put me through
Last story: I love how determined she was to feed him and not only that but to have him sit with her and eat and not just give him food. That is going the extra mile. I know sometimes homeless people are so lonely on top of being hungry and she was trying to make it sound like he would be doing her a favor to sit and talk to her while they ate together. Just so sweet. Its so heartwarming. I love stories like this.
Story 5: A much needed dose of wholesome mistaken identity. Great choice Fluff!
All the people defending those cops are beyond deluded. Yeah, if somebody threatens another with a knife, they should totally be arrested! But the problem is that they didn't bother to even ask OP what his side was, they were completely content with throwing him in a cell based upon what the woman said alone. That is NOT what their job is. They're required to get all testimonies from the people involved, not to mention, the first thing they should have done regardless is check the camera footage. There is zero reason for anybody to defend them. It seems as if just because OP had a puny little pocket knife, yall count that as evidence that the cops' piss poor attempt at their job was justifiable.
Not defending the cops.....op did the right thing just do as you are told.cops hold all the power in situations like that. was it morally wrong yes but legally wrong no. Now if he went to jail he could sue for wrongful imprisonment But that did not happen. It's just a sad fact of Life power is a dangerous thing. What the saying "power corrupts absolute power corrupts absolutely" right? I hope the person in charge of the two cops ripped them a new one afterwards.
They wanted to do minimum work and not give a shit
Imagine yourself as one of the cop. "What's the problem here?"
One answered, "No problem, officer."
The other answered, "He has a knife!"
What will you do?
It's easy to judge the cops because you follow OP story. But as someone plunge into the situation without prior knowledge, I'll bet my lunch money that you'll do the same as those cops do.
The first thing that a person accused of a violent crime is definitely to detain him and they did so. Keeping the gun on him after he was disarmed and in cuffs was excessive and paranoid but cops that aren't paranoid tend to become dead cops.
They hadn't asked OP his side YET, but they hadn't started to leave the scene either. They didn't throw him in jail. They were getting all the testimonies. They were dealing with all the added personnel as they came in. They were still in the process of sorting it out.
Puny little pocket knives are still knives and the fact he had one on him lends credence to the statement "I was threatened with a knife". They were perfectly within their rights to keep him detained while sorting it out. He's a guard and probably big and strong. They were correct in not taking chances.
Cops screw up all the time. They aren't perfect. This was NOT one of those times.
@@jasonweible2834 except that the “suspect” is a security guard in uniform and on duty at the location.
I love the last story. Especially when the manager came out an said "hey dad" Lol!
The OP in story 4 should have sued the Karen and the police officers that arrested him
Actually, HE COULD SUE THEM. He was non combative and Could EASILY PROVE HIS STORY. And yes, they were within their rights to place him in cuff's for their safety, we don't live in a country that believes you ARE GUILTY UNTIL PROVEN INNOCENT. THEY SHOULDN'T HAVE HAD TO HEAR OPS FRIEND TELL THEM IT WAS A MISTAKE BEFORE THEY CALLED THEIR SUPERVISOR.
AND IF OPS FRIEND HADN'T BEEN THERE..THEY WERE ALL ABOUT BOOKING HIM JUST ON THAT PSYCHO BITCHES LIE.
Which would then have become a false arrest and illegal detainment. Don't reply with more stupid.
I agree those chotas are stupid and should be sued
@@og_3rd_st_saint_gat I have watched a lot of videos of people who are still able to be a threat weather it be in hand cuffs or shoot, but then again it’s California a hell of violent areas and the worst most corrupt people on the planet so the police are doing what the laws there say so.
Bruh what? What did the cops do wrong, it’s not like they knew he didn’t threaten her, all they saw was a man with a knife and a woman saying he threatened her tf? If someone threatened me with a knife I’d pray to GOD they arrest the guy before they stop to ask him if he actually threatened me or even had a knife. That’s literally their job.
@@soundwavegamer2321 true cali is violent
This reminds me of my own story.
I used to help my friend read water meters for our water district. He started his own company and sometimes found himself understaffed so I'd get a days pay and he'd get work done. Win win.
So I went to this one ladies house, and I'm wearing a big orange vest that says WATER on the back. And we have sheets of paper that tell us where to find the meter. Well hers wasn't where it was supposed to be and this woman had fulled her yard with old junker cars. Trash, and rusty bits so I didn't fancy crawling around to see if she covered the little in-ground door that houses the meter (paper said it wasn't a house attachment and should be in the front yard.)
Usually I tried to avoid knocking on doors and bothering people but after having a look around I paused to consider knocking to ask where the meter was because I just couldn't find it.
I looked across the yard to this house which had dark windows on a Monday afternoon and figured nobody was home, shrugged, marked down I couldn't find the meter, and turned to leave.
Thats when Karen came bursting out the front door, running down the driveway and screaming at me. She's shouting that I'm a theif who's casing her house and bla bla bla. I just calmly tell her I'm from water and power here to check her water meter. And here's the kicker, not only does this woman not know where her own water meter is, she doesn't know WHAT it is. 🤦
She demands to see my "license" to do what I'm doing. Spoiler, not every job has a "license," and goes on and on and on.
I'm just like, "well if you don't know where your meter is and you clearly don't want me here... " and start filling out a card. She looks confused and I hand her the door hanger we leave in some neighborhoods where the water meter is in the basement. It has all the information that I was here, tried to do my job, and what numbers to call. It also has the name of the water district.
"Go ahead and find it, then call your water company to let them know what it says so you don't get overcharged. Bye " Then I go to leave as she's standing there still trying to argue I should have some form of identification.
It seemed to click that I wasn't a theif as she tried to stop me from leaving saying "I could call my husband to see where it is..." And I'm like "nope, you don't want me here, I already spent more time than I should, bye." And I left and privately cried a bit as the adrenaline wore off because I really don't handle confrontation well.
TLDR; woman with nothing of value in her garbage dumb of a yard "protects" her trash by making me cry.
She's gotta protect her hoard lol 😆
Ending this with such a wholesome story was PERFECT. I appreciate you.
First story: People like that Karen are the kind of people who anyone wants to break their jaws because they don't even deserve to be able to speak. This one really got me. (I'm mexican.)
that karen sounds like she is "Dr." Jill BIden,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
I'm a white Texan dude with a few good Mexican friends and that Karen would have to invoke a slap in the mouth from me.
@@ElCid48 -._-. ok bro thats... an interesting comment
Carlos Mencia isn't the funniest comic in the hemisphere, but his rant on how a Honduran is perceived in NY, LA, and Miami is spot-on and priceless.
Sadly, there are a lot of fhem running around here these days..they usually have a red hat collection and give most of their cash to a bogus "election defense fund".
This episode reminded me of my own "I Do Work here lady" moment, where I was the one who mistook my boss for a customer X'D my boss was in civilian clothes because he did an overnight at our store, and when I came in to work (an opening shift, while the store was still closed) I saw him and I sheepishly was like "umm.. Sir? We're not open yet, how did you get in?" and then he turned around and I saw his face and I turned bright red. We both laughed about it. I miss that man, he was a great boss to work for.
Deal with "do you really work here?" about once a week. Being a short, super young looking girl (like 1/3 my actual age) and having massive twin-tails, I get asked about once a week, are you really the pilot? Yes ma'am I am your Captain for this flight, welcome aboard.
Ive never had anyone make a huge deal about it, and we usually get a good laugh about it when I show off the stripes on my shoulders like a kid that just got an awesome toy.
The cops were absolutely in the wrong. Not for pulling a gun on an unarmed man, not for cuffing him, not for detaining him.
They're in the wrong for failure to investigate. Detain the potential attacker, *then* investigate the claims. As far as the story read, OP never even got to give his side of the story. His friend was the one who had to give it. And the officers hadn't even looked for cameras, had they?
The proper way to have handled it would have been to *calmly* ask OP to put his hands behind his back, cuff, and detain him. Once detained, begin gathering *both* sides of the story. Then make a quick precursory glance to see if there was any kind of surveillance or cctv system. Upon spotting it, determine the PoC for the building and request cctv logs.
No gun drawn, no extra life-threatening situations, and no violation of due process.
Instead, the cops believed her because she was a woman and that was that. Reverse the roles and there would have been a much different story.
Yes it does definitely seem these officers should go back to basic training for a bit more education about police procedures.
Story 1: Wow, so not only was Karen racist, but thinks that everyone from South America (based on her response to where OP was from) is Mexican. Also, I bet that she would still act that way if she talked to an American worker and said worker asked the same thing
Why don't we purge them? 🤔
There are those who think Puerto Rico, Hawaii, and Guam are foreign countries, (sure, they are if you are not living in the States) making me wonder whether they passed geography in middle school. Basic rule of thumb: If visiting someplace does NOT require a passport, barring connecting flights, it is part of the country you have citizenship of.
Best part is Mexico isn't even South America, it's North America.
@@Mercadian and I've tried to explain this to my mother that several states here in the US belonged to Mexico until about what 1848 to 1850, and that all of those people there, while technically Mexican are now natural Americans. Telling them to go back to their country is like saying what? Go back and what? Start a second secession from the US?
Good gravy some old folks just can't grasp that they never immigrated here cuz they are from "here".
All the while my grandmother her mom(Germany), and my grandfather (Ireland) were both born in other countries which makes us immigrants.
I keep hoping as that racist generation passes away it takes these racist ideas with them. Not that I want my mom to pass but some things need to change.
Shes getting better about it either that or shes hiding it better
I mean, even leaving out the obvious racist BS, how else did she think she was going to be able to update her credit card info? SHE called the number. And it's not like there's some sort of magical system that automatically updates stuff just from the last 4 digits. If you go to Amazon and want to put in a new CC, you need to type everything in. It's no different if you do it over the phone.
It's sad how cops just took her side automatically but that's how it goes
Ya they’re kinda supposed to. You want them to stop and ask the guy who threatened you with a knife if it was true before they arrest him? That’s not how it works.
@@aggroblu9753 It should but go ahead and defend pussy ass cops
Cause they are simps
@@aggroblu9753 Kinda is, they do so in alot of stories. I've heard many stories where the cops were calm and professional and this is NOT one of them
@aggroblu9753 Exactly. OP was detained, not arrested. The stated/perceived threat needs to be contained in order to confirm it.
Who dresses up as a Target employee for Halloween? Also, who wears a Halloween costume in July? That Karen is not very bright.
Correct me if I’m wrong but the cops in the security story absolutely fucked up.
yeah big time
like one of them was on a power trip
I think pulling out taser would be more appropriate than pulling out gun, but threats with weapons have to be taken seriously whether they're false or not, they can't know. I am surprised she didn't get harsher sentence for this, because such false accusation could cost lives.
@@michaelpontifex6797 it’s astounding to me when people freak out at cops for arresting people they had reason to believe were in possession of a deadly weapon.
They are American cops, did you honestly think something else would happen other then complete f ups?
I like the last story. It wasn’t a Karen causing problems but a sweet old lady trying to be helpful to someone that possibly could have been in need. Even if she was mistaken she had a heart of gold and we need more women like her in the world.
Yeah, you could basically say that this was a Karen of a different kind. A heart-of-gold Karen (so to speak) who is willing to help others and not take "NO" for an answer. I also love to hear stories like this.
The Mike and Mama story was excellent! Like a breath of fresh air. So good to hear there are still such people around.
I love the story of Mike’s mom. As much as I love your posts I miss not having as many wholesome stories. Keep up the wonderful work. It helps get me through my day.
That last story put a big smile on my face. Mike's mother is such a sweet old lady who I hope the best for
With how violent American police are, the 4th Karen should have been charged with attempted murder. Anyone who make false claims like that to the police should be.
I wonder why no one charges them with that, seems so obvious
I’ve talked with a few police. Are there a few who fit the violent description? Yeah. Only about single digit percents of them though, probably the same ratio as every day people. However you never know who’s going to respond. And trying to ruin someone’s life for completely no reason at all is just… what the heck? I found myself in a similar situation once, except her kids blew it for her before it ever got that far. Scary, scary stuff. It really should be a serious crime because you’re trying at the very least to ruin someone’s entire life for 0 reason.
That last story with the Old Lady is my favorite one out this edition. I love people like that. Sometimes they seem to just show up when you just need that little reminder that this type of person still exists in the world.
Story 4: NOT a “he said she said” situation, as the cops escalated by not asking OP Word One. Straight to cuffs with NO questions asked.
Mike's mom was a great one, I was chuckling throughout picturing the scene, the opposite of a Karen, nice way to finish up, there ARE still many many wonderful people, everywhere.
Just imagine what might have happened to him if he was an armed guard.
In these cases where that woman accused op of threatening her with a knife and then is proven to be lying literally beyond all doubt with the audio\video evidence, she should have been charged as though she'd committed the same crime as the accusation seeing as that level of proof would easily see someone charged if OP was indeed threatening with the knife
After that story with the cops pissed me off so much, I needed that wholesome last story with that wonderful kind sweet little old lady! We need more people like her in the world. ❤️
7:55 "Yes, people love to dress up as Target employees during Halloween"

@@kranberry3318 What did Dark Fluff say?
@@sergiom3988 Target employee
Tbh when OP said he was wearing a shirt with red stripes and Karen thought it was a costume, I kinda just pictured OP looking like Where’s Waldo lol
@@kranberry3318 I was thinking something similar. I kept expecting the customer to say to the OP something along the lines of, "All right, I found you, Waldo. Now go find me a Target employee."
That last story tugged on my heart strings so much. I loved the story and that sweet little old lady is adorable.
Story 4: Why do I get the feeling that the supervisor was just pissed that she didn't get who she asked for? Perhaps she asked for her boyfriend or something. Her solution? Get who the head office sent arrested. I'd almost bet that she hadn't been in that position very long and/or the power just went to her head.
As for how the cops acted, they may have seen her there before, but he was new, so they might have assumed that she was telling the truth. They do take weapon accusations seriously, so I can't fault them for cuffing him, but went a bit far by keeping a gun pointed at him.
Another thing to remember is that this happened at the height of the # metoo and the 'believe all women' movements. This story shows where and how these things can be misused, even if they are, in spirit, good ideas.
The two police should have gotten in trouble for blindly arresting him based on karens word
What a way to listen. During a thunderstorm at 3:35pm, this is the way to relax :)
That Karen almost ruined that man's life on a whim.
She should get the jail time he should have had for what he was accused for.
That last one reminded me of when I was a teenager. I lived in a seaside town and loved swimming, and so did my best friend. We had been in town and wanted to go swimming, in early spring, overcast sky, still a bit cold, and we had no swimwear on us. We still went swimming. Came out, dried ourselves off on our clothes, as we swam in our underwear, and left our shoes off so the sand would shake off when they dried. Walking through town to get to our bus stop, it started to rain, so we looked even more dishevelled. Some people stopped us and offered us money, we did not know why till it dawned on us how we must have looked. We said no to the money and tried to explain we had just been swimming, but they gave us money anyway. Late 1980s.
Story 4: sounds like Karen was hoping for some hanky panky.
After the last story, I wanna hug Mike's mom. She deserves it 🙂
Hey Fluff, another great video with excellent stories. As for the last story, I can relate because my parents were a lot like Mike's mom. They took in my uncle, my mom's younger brother, when he was thrown out at 15 by their adopted mother. My parents had us kids, .gov older brother, myself, and my younger sister, and we were all under at 5. They helped him finish school, get his long haul trucker license, and took care of our two cousins while he worked after his 1st wife ran off with a guy she met in a bar. Then, a few years later, my mom's oldest sister came and dumped her 5 kids at our house. My Dad was a career Navy Master Chief, and we lived in a 3 bedroom apartment on base. So it was cramped to start, but my parents made it work by giving the oldest daughter the small bedroom, and my sister and cousin got to share the little bit larger room. (It was my brother's and my room btw.) Then the living room became the 5 boys room which included my seriously sick/handicapped cousin who was 10 like myself. He had gone cancer in his hip, and yes, he was in full remission by the time their mother came back for them 3 years later. Turns out their father went to prison for 20 years for embezzlement of $250,000 and his wife got 5 years, but served 3. My parents made it work for all of us kids, and their mom was released so she could take back custody. We are still close, and she divorced her crook of a husband. Turns out he had her open bank accounts in her name to hide the money, and that's why she went to prison. So while our parents were not perfect, they had big hearts, and worked hard to take care of not just us, but other family members, and friends in need.
The little ones lady story had me smiling. That sounds so adorable how she tries to be so helpful
I love it when you end with a wholesome story. It makes up for the nutters in the first stories!
That last little wholesome story just warmed my heart. What a kind lady!
The G4S story is shocking and everybody involved besides OP and their friend need to be fired, and those officers and the supervisor need jail time.
I love the "I know the owner" lines.
Employee: "Yeah I know the owner too"
That last story was super wholesome
I bout cried listening to that one.
Last story really reminded me of my dear mother. She was just the sweetest person ever! She helped some folks who looked like they needed a little extra help to get by. I miss her so much, and I hope I can someday live up to that example.
Karen: “I’m the owners wife”
Worker : “I know for a fact the owner is single and doesn’t live here try the fuck again Karen”
I love Mike's mum! What a great, kind big hearted lady!
Story 1: this sounds like social engineering. She was trying to scam the bank. She didn’t have the full number and was probably planning to use a pre registered card on a web site.
Quite possible.
I love that last story. Way to end on a Good note.
"I wasnt even supposed to be here today!"
honestly would 100% enjoy a series of just wholesome stories like the last one that are less frustrating than the usual stuff
“That lady over there said” is one of the most dangerous sentences you can ever say. I honestly don’t know why being a woman makes someone instantly believable? Like, women lie, guys.
As do men.
Women AREN'T instantly believable, or instantly believed. In most situations a man's word will be taken over a woman's, automatically. However, when the police get a report of someone having been threatened, by someone larger than herself (which is usually the case in a "he said, she said" situation), they're pretty much obliged to side with the potential victim.
It hasn't always been this way. A few decades ago I lived in a duplex, with a female friend in the other half of the duplex, and I would regularly hear her boyfriend hitting her. I talked to her about it, and finally got her permission to call the cops the next time it happened. And do you know how the cops handled it? Since the boyfriend had left when I yelled that I was calling the cops they couldn't immediately arrest him. They could, however, have taken his work address - my friend offered to give it to them - but for some reason they decided that woudn't work. Instead, the most important thing on their minds was to give my friend a lecture about how SHE was at fault for not having called them sooner. Do you think she EVER called the cops for help again? I don't.
There have been a lot of stories about women who called the police to report abuse and were dismissed by the cops because the man came across as a good, dependable man, and shortly after that the woman was murdered by him. As a result, the cops in most jurisdictions are now required to take these reports seriously.
@@margretrosenberg420 That's not the point. Point is that there's people out there who instantly believe women, what this person meant is that these cops were being sexist. I don't know why you went out of your way to type this whole paragraph I won't even read
@@Godzilladino If you haven't even read what I had to say your claim that I was wrong to say it is suspect. MY point is that most police departments have instituted policies that REQUIRE their officers to assume that claims of assault are credible, precisely because the opposite used to be the norm, and it got a lot of people, especially women, killed.
Don't respond to comments you haven't bothered to read. It just makes you look ignorant, and, in this case, sexist.
@@margretrosenberg420 How am I sexist lol. I just said that your defense for women has nothing to do with what the comment was actually about
@@Godzilladino YOU DIDN'T EVEN BOTHER TO READ MY COMMENT! Since I'm obviously female, and you proceeded to attack my (unread) comment, that makes you LOOK sexist. Note: I never said that you ARE a sexist; I said that your response makes you LOOK like a sexist.
And you still haven't responded to my point that most police departments now REQUIRE their officers to take such reports seriously. If you don't like it you can work to change it, but expect an uphill battle because there are too many of us (men as well as women) who remember what it was like when the implicit bias in favor of men held sway.
We all need more people like Mike's mom in the world
Maybe she thought he was dressed up as Waldo.
LMFAO if I was the locksmith guy, I'd have called the owner and told him "Your WIFE is here preventing me from working" and handed Karen the phone. If the owner had to deal with it first hand, he may have evicted her lol.
The police/knife story: I would sue the police for unnecessary use of force. He was clearly unarmed when they saw him and he didn't made any threat to her or them. Pulling a gun on him and threaten to shoot him...
And @DarkFluff Not only the Karen was loony, the cops too.
the last story. oh goodness. such a darling angel of a woman. shes so sweet. she deserves a hug and all the good in life
Story 3: Cops dropped the ball for not arresting Karen for filing a false report. OTOH it wasn’t a violent crime accusation, so they probably wanted to save themselves a headache over the paperwork. /shrug
If I was op in the last one I would've find it sweet and amusing. That lady won't take no for an answer trying to help is so sweet! Sometimes they are too embarrass to accept help which is why a little nudge is needed.
Think we need more story’s like the last one here, after hearing how bad some people are to other’s. Can say this ended on a very happy note. Keep up the great work fluff monster. Big smiles from the UK 🇬🇧
The last story was so sweet and actually got me a little teary-eyed.
For story 4 those stupid chotas should be fired i would had resisted the arrest imagne arresting the wrong person
Indeed tho they would've shot him dead if he resisted he made the right move being calm
To the person who replied to me try again youtube won't show it
If you would had resisted THEN they would've had cause to arrest you. Don't be foolish. Keep your cool and cover your ass always.
@@R.DeMora true but I know how to defend myself i know martial arts plus I keep a firearm on me
Basically what R.demora said best not to resist otherwise they would've shot /use force to subdue
I can so relate to the first story on so many levels. I use to work box office at a live theater and some of the calls from these “entitled” people was insane. I had one woman asking me for my home # in case she needed to change her tickets again if I wasn’t in that day. I told her that I’m not giving out my personal # and, I couldn’t help her from my home but, anyone here working could help her. To her this was unexceptional and started cursing at me. So, I just said goodbye and hung up. I put a red flag on her account with a brief description. She immediately called back which my manager answered and, told her her money is being refunded but, she is permanently band from the theater. He put this notice on her account.
I often secretly hope the lovely humans in these stories actually read/hear them from the POV of the poor soul who had to deal with their logic/lack there-of. I also hope they read the comment sections and feel the burn.
I absolutely LOVE the last story!! The little old lady just made my heart swell ❤️♥️❤️
I was totally waiting for this! I love the IDOWorkHereLady stories, especially wholesome ones like the last one.
Mike's Mom won my heart! What a sweet, kind lady!
Story 2: Karens thinking that OP is an employee and Karens who don't think OP is an employee
this feels kind of like Bizarro's Logic in DC Comics: sometimes Bizarro is friendly to Superman, othertimes he's Superman's enemy. Sometimes Bizarro is Superman's friend, so Bizarro must kill Superman (Bizarro logic is bizarre for a reason).
I know. One does have to wonder what goes through the mind of a Karen, just because it never makes any sense to anyone but her.
isnt bizarro just the reversse everything so "love" is "hate etc
Few weeks ago at my Call Center Job: "Thank you for calling so and so this is M speaking. To whom do I have the pleasure of speaking with?"
Karen: "I can assure you it will not be a pleasure! So where are you located?"
Me: "Kansas"
K: "So you aren't from Jamaicaaaaaa or the Philippiiiiiiines?"
Me: *click* Yeah I don't deal with that.
Story 2.
I honestly think the Karen has been bitten one to many times mistaking regular people as employees
Great last story.
I’ve tried to explain to mom multiple times upon times that if SHE calls a legitimate number (as opposed to one she’s received a call from) it’s fine to give her info to them.
Usually. People can and have spoofed real sites and given false phone numbers to intercept calls. Less likely than if they call you but it can still happen. People suck.
Not true. Scammers will create numbers that are just 1 number different than the legit business and plaster that in the Google search results. As well as make fake websites with their numbers that are soooo similar, most people don't notice. I have seen websites like Amazons or wallmart and they pay to get them high views on Google searches, hoping people won't notice, and they often don't. Scammers are evil but not dumb.
that last story was sweet, se was so instant on getting a homeless person a meal. Such a kind old woman
Karens are just getting crazier and crazier these days
Karen: So it's NOT a Halloween costume?
Me: **Storm.exe has encountered an error and must reboot**
While I do enjoy the stories of things going sideways, I really enjoy stories like the last one! Thanks!
I've been addicted to this channel for a while now, and it's just crazy how often Karens lie to police that they were threatened with a weapon to get their way. At least they often get their comeuppance for lying
With the security story, joke is on OP. Allied Universal merged with G4S and both companies suck now
Exactly haha I worked for both. Allied definitely sucks
I WAS SO IMPRESSED WITH THE
LAST STORY HOW THE RESTAURANT OWNER BUMPED
INTO THE MOTHER OF THE CHEF,HOW NICE SHE WAS +HOW SHE THOUGHT BY MISTAKING THE OWNER FOR A HOMELESS PERSON.
It’s my birthday so give me your Chanel or I’ll call the cops
Fluff says: "Yeah, people LOVE to dress up as Target employees for Halloween". I am still laughing hysterically! Thank you, Fluff!
And in July, no less!
The last story was great, it nice to finally hear a Karen story that was a happy kind of Karen!
These stories are so funny that I have to laugh. I can see you standing there telling these stories and several of your fellow employees are there too. When you get to the funny part we all break down and laugh. I love being included in your stories.
Mike's momma is such a sweetheart. My favorite I do work here story
The last story was so cute! A wholesome story to balance out all the stress I get from the other stories.
Stories like the last one always bring tears to these old eyes. It gives me hope for humanity yet.
That guy's mother is the actual sweetest!
