well she lost her children, what a dunce that "teacher" was, did not learn what real life is about, probably religious upbringing, such close minded people !
That's why I say she should have been jailed as well as fired. As a matter of fact, if the peanut butter incident happened before she became a teacher I don't see how she was hired.
When she attacked OP for making her loose her job online OP should have responded with "Did I also Make CPS take your children when you tried to kill one of them?" !!!
Last Christmas, our local Karen decided to tell all of us on the block that the only decorations had to be "Karen approved" - "Classy. NONE of those horrible blow up Santas and Snowmen or other things!" I glanced at her house, and noticed all five of her decorations were plastic Dollar Tree things (think "plate style" cheap plastic). This set off the old guy next door to us. He decided to go "all out" and went around to every house and suggested we go for the "most decorated street in the city" and he would even help those who could not afford to decorate. Everyone had giant blow up Santas, blow up trains, lights galore, light up candy canes and Christmas light posts, light up deer, even those "dancing" lights that light up the wall of your house. Even the Muslim family across the street had a light up nativity and played Christmas carols every night!!! Every house on the block. We could have easily been "the most decorated gaudiest street in the city" and I'm sure the power company loved us that year! Every house that is - except Karen's house. She fumed every single day the lights came on. Especially the house right next door to her who had "everything penguin" - penguins sliding down from the roof, penguins sitting on top of a pile of snow, penguins coming out of igloos, penguins hanging by flippers from the trees and swinging in the winter breeze. Karen HATED penguins - but the Penguin neighbours? They WON for "Most Fun Decorations" in the city and constantly had people driving by. Christmas 2022? Not a word from Karen about "keeping things simple and classy only". We still went all out and people were changing decorations with one another and helping each other set up things - but Karen didn't say a word. I love the old guy who wouldn't let Karen dictate how the rest of us decorate. She did try to keep Halloween 2022 decorations down as she seemed to have FORGOTTEN Christmas 2021 - and we basically had a street wide "haunted house" as a result. While Karen's house had a single little "Happy Halloween" in the window. Thanks, Old Guy, for bringing us all together!!!
Omg what kind of pos tells a student they're faking a medical condition & then turns around & gives their own child peanut butter knowing their child is allergic to peanuts! I'm so glad that she not only lost her job for her negligence but also custody of her child! At least this total pos can't harm any other child
I lived with someone with a seizure disorder for decades (until he passed away from undiagnosed metastatic cancer-a while different story). Seizures can take several different forms, but trust me, you need to be very careful when you're with someone having a seizure and know exactly what you are doing. That Karen deserved to be fired. She also deserved to have her teaching license revoked. That's beyond stupid or entitled; that's criminal.
Seizures are tricky. There are multiple types of seizures and multiple disorders that can cause them. That teacher was foolish thinking that knowing one person with epilepsy constituted comprehensive knowledge on the subject. I have seizures but don't have epilepsy. I had to do a lot of research to really understand my condition, and to help those close to me understand and know how to respond. Her arrogance was her undoing, thinking she knew more than everyone else instead of investigating and trying to understand. I agree, she deserved to be fired. Someone like that shouldn't be working with children.
Well said! And I fully agree, she deserved to be fired and deserved to lose her kids. I really hope she got some sort of criminal charge. That story had my blood boiling, after saying a kid was lying about seizures and then finding out she dang near killed her own kid by sending PB and j KNOWING the child has an allergy??!!?? What in the actual ****, what kind of person even does that
I rather help a person faking a seizure and calling them am A-hole when I find out it was fake, then not help someone who has a seizure thinking it was fake.
Story 3: Yeah, after the Epilepsy and PB allergy incident, Karen is proven to be unsafe around kids, and someone could die. Automatically believing that kids are faking s**t for attention? Not good
When she accused OP of getting her fired, OP should have asked "Did I Also have your children taken by CPS, when you tried to kill one of them?" Some people just can't take credit for anything they do!
It bad enough if she didn't believe one child have a condition but to endanger her own kid is bad enough. She shouldn't be around. Let alone raise them.
Karens accusing Not only kids, but adults too of faking medical conditions and saying "they are having temper tantrums. Seizures aren't a thing. Blah blah blah." I had a nightmare where a karen attacked my friend's older beother Daniel whom is an epilepsy sufferer, and so is my friend, and the karen fed soy laced foods to my friend's brother causinf him to have a grand mal seizure and saying "oh! He is having a tantrum, he's too grown for that!" And my friend pulled out her phone and called the park ranger, and the park ranger came and then called 911 for medical emergency then the ambulance came, the paramedics got dan and took him to the hospital, and Catie was screaming at the karen "HOW WOULD YOU FEEL IF I POISONED YOUR HUSBAND, KNOWING HE HAS AN ALLERGY TO SOMETHING EDIBLE?!? YOU WOULD FEEL THE ANGER I AM FEELING RIGHT NOW! YOU COULD HAVE KILLED MY BROTHER! MY FAMILY WILL SUE YOU FOR 5000$ IN CASH TO PAY THE MEDICAL BILLS AND STUFF! I'D KICK YOUR HEAD OFF IF YOU WERE A FLIMSY BREAKABLE MANNEQUIN DOLL!" as the park ranger arrested the karen.
I had to help a customer with a 55" tv once. It was Black Friday if 2008, and only 20 or so minutes after we opened. She wanted me to figure out a way to fit the tv in the passenger seat of her Fiero. After repeatedly explaining in plain speak that her little car wasn't the TARDIS, she ended up calling her husband to come with his pickup and help her take the tv home. Then she tried to berate me for ruining Christmas for her husband. I told her that I was happy to help and took her cart back into the store to help the next customer who was much more reasonable.
It's a stupid move, if anything happened to any of the cars he would have been responsible for all of them, he may have won that time but stupid games win stupid prizes.
*Second Story:* OP offended a Karen when everyone else thought it was funny. He's doing it right! *Third Story:* Sadly, that Karen Teacher is not unique these days. So many post TikTok videos of their horrific views and teaching methods. But the ones who _don't_ post to TikTok and thus aren't advertising their monstrosity are the ones who worry me more.
The sad thing is here, that she knew OP had Seizures and yet, she still tried to harm them and not only that, her own son almost died because of her actions as well.
"I paid for my apartment and i don't want to be subjected to your nasty smells." "I paid for my apartment and I don't want to be subjected to your nasty attitude, so we're even." *SLAM*
Story 4: That is so extreme and ridiculous. I am allergic to onion. It is different from the situation in the fact that I just can't eat them. The fish on the other hand I can't stand the smell of. In that situation I would be like "Hey, I'm your neighbor. I just wanted to come say hi and introduce myself. I also wanted to talk to you about when you cook fish. I really don't like the smell it makes me feel sick, do you think maybe we can work something out. Maybe you could give me a heads up if you cook fish and I can light a candle or something. I can give you my number or we could work something else out." Like that kind of thing.
If the neighbor had come to him asking this, instead of demanding he pay of for something for her specifically, proooobably would have gone better. Especially if you're allergic, this is a much more reasonable response. (Obviously she wasn't, but still).
Story 2. There's a hardware store I tend to shop. In the men's room, someone took a pocketknife and etched two deer (buck and doe) on the toilet paper dispenser, and let's just say that the doe liked what the buck was giving her. Stayed that way for several years. Then someone else took their pocketknife and added antlers to the doe. Some months later, new toilet paper dispenser.
@@jaydenburnham3229 Yep. Of course, that may not have been the only reason, but it's still funny, given that it had been there for years, until the doe got antlers.
Yes. Absolutely. It's a relief for someone like me. 3 friends (one my cousin who IS my best friend) have literally saved my life. It makes me emotional because they just acted, no thought, just moved and helped. Those kids in class good kids.
The person who came to them is the entitled one. It’s on their private property, and their own decorations they can do whatever they want. They aren’t doing any harm and it seems like everyone in the neighborhood thinks it’s amusing.
On their own property does not matter if it where actually harmful or offensive since if it is seen from public apaces, thats all that matters.... But anatomically not correct animals procriating is not offensive or harmful... Kids will see "worse " in any animal documentary and as someone who looked a lot of those as a small child... They very much did not do harm as I have a very healthy relationship to things like nursing or death. Seing and knowing how copulation works in an detatched matter without making it a big deal does not traimatise kids, make them promiscous or whatever the fear is.
We have real deer that are pretty much taking over my town. So yeah I don't see Karen patrolling the streets making sure that they're not humping here.
5:58 *I TOTALLY UNDERSTAND!!! I'm epileptic and when I have seizures, my brain shuts-off but my body keeps going.* I've had a seizure where I tried to get out of the car while my parents were on the freeway! After that, I always had to have the child safety lock on, and I was in college...
I hate the whole “my cousin has this,” “my friend is that,” “I know someone who...” bs. People need to realize that two people can have the exact same condition, interest, orientation, origin, etc., and the thing can, and likely will, look different between the two people. Ex. If I ask two people what “happy” looks like, one might say, “being a dad” and the other might say, “hiking.” If I ask two people what “sad” looks like, one might say, “poverty” and the other might say, “loss.”
Yeah, many people do not realize that everyone has different body chemistry even if they do seem similar. I actually had a doctor say to me that I don't work well with medicines.
Especially autism since its a spectrum, my aunt works for a special needs school and so she doesn't believe her own kids could have autism, and we're pretty sure they fall somewhere on the spectrum (since its genetic and I'm on the spectrum, its made me question my relatives past behavior, just because you don't go to a doctor for a diagnosis doesn't mean you don't have it), because shes around kids that could throw chairs and spit at her
Story 3: That lousy excuse of a teacher deserved to be fired, and have her teaching license revoked for assuming that OP is 'faking' their seizures. In my own opinion, I think teachers should at least be ordered to go through an 'Medical COndition awareness' class prior to teaching. I don't know how the process of getting one's teaching license works, but KT should've known about this before assuming OP is feigning an illness because of the basis on what her cousin has. As Y pointed out, you can't just send someone to the office for something they have no control over and seizures can take different forms. Also, WTF was KT thinking about berating someone on FB because 'they got her fired'!? She should've at least realized her actions was what got her fired - she touched OP without consent [and while they were seizing, no less!] and intimidated students. Is it no wonder she lost custody of her own kids? I've read that in some jurisdictions, forcing someone to eat an item that they're allergic to can be considered a form of attempted murder or manslaughter. That being said, I'm glad her own kids were removed from that harmful environment. While I am not a teacher myself, I used to work at a public library; I had to submit at background check (plus vulnerable sector check) each year due to working in proximity to children.
The saying about not all disabilities being visible is very true. I use a wheelchair to get around due to severe walking difficulties. My other half, you wouldn't think there was anything wrong with him, but he's far more disabled than I am.
I was a horse girl in my teens and I grew up in an area where people were in a very matter of factual way not prude. So one day a Karen-type woman with her daughter came to book riding lessons for the daughter when the boss of the riding stable was not around. Judging from the womans accent I know she was from a more prude part of the country. I knew she should be back soon so I told them to just sit at the bench and wait but not to go into the stable alone. They did not but wandered off to the paddocks. I did not care because we did not have any trouble horses out there that time and I hoped they would not be stupid enough to enter the paddocks. Then I heard hysterical screaming from the mother and I thought they did enter and somehow got hurt but no, obviously a stallion we had as a guest horse for a few days had opened one door and jumped 3! fences to get to one of the mares to do „IT“ and little princess saw the sinny thing and now was traumatized for the rest of her life. I could hardly keep my laughter. Luckily just then the boss returned the two were her problem.
Yeah, it is funny but Christmas reindeer are mostly for children. And what that lady did going up to op's door was wrong I still think it is tacky. I lived near Pasadena and every year we would go up down these streets with the most amazing light displays and it's a big part of my childhood. I would be so uncomfortable if I had smaller children with me and they asked what the deer were doing. I'm sure you could probably tell them they're playing but I still wouldn't want to be put in that position. These days kids don't have a chance to be kids just look what they are exposed to today.
Hi, I'm epileptic. I would happily have taken OP's place in this case because of how my tonic clonic seizures happen, but more so before they happen, and after they happen: Before: I grab whatever is in front of me, so in a school setting, I would 100% grab my papers off the desk, and then crunch them in my fists. Then I THROW whatever I've hulk-smashed in my paws to the general area in front of me, so I would've thrown those crumpled papers at the Karen. Then I stand up, the chair under me flies backward if it's not attached, and I scream bloody murder, then I go rigid and fall face first. (Insert seizure here) After: to clarify for non-epileptics, there's often a period after a tonic clonic grand mal, called the post-ictal phase, and I describe it like this.... when you have a seizure, it's like when you blow a fuse, and the entire house of lights suddenly goes out. When I'm post-ictal, it's like the lights coming back on, but not all at the same time, and in the complete wrong order. So my consciousness will return first, but I can't talk yet, or hear, or anything else really. Then my speech comes back, but not my actual thinking, or my memory retention, or my emotional regulation. I'm scared at this point to start seeing EMTs and I'm on the floor, I can't understand what's happened, and I can't hear, so I start screaming really terrible things at the people around me, I try to fight them from touching me, and even though I'm being told repeatedly that I've seized, I still can't understand, so I keep demanding to know what's going on. Then my short term memory turns on, and this is the point where looking back, I can remember some stuff, and I remember people still telling me over and over that I've seized, then I get upset and embarrassed and I burst into tears lol. Then the pain of having run a marathon in the last few minutes kicks in so I cry harder. Anyway so insert the loud swearing, thrashing, fighting, non responsiveness etc into OP's Karen story and honestly I'd love to have taken their place JUST to have made Karen go through my post-ictal phase with me. 😂😂😂 I never get to ENJOY anything about being epileptic so.... you can't blame a girl for daydreaming about this one.... 😜
Last story, at age 26 in 1983, I did much the same thing. On the last day of a 4 day solo camping trip, I rode my motorcycle (full dress touring bike) into first a Porsche dealer in Newport Beach where I spun a tale and talked my way into test driving a new 928, then just down the road I got to drive a Ferrari. Both had the salesman in the car with me, but they both completely believed I was deciding between the two cars to treat myself after "completing my biggest sale of a retail business." All this, despite looking a little weathered and scruffy after 2400 miles of riding and several nights in a tent. Sweet rides, but I was basically broke, finishing up college on the G.I. bill and could no way afford ANY new car, let alone a Porsche or Ferrari.
story 2. op is not the ahole, i think it is awesome how they arranged the christmas decorations and no one seemed to have a problem with it except karen. i applaud op for their perfect passive aggressive response.
My fifth grade teacher accused me of faking poor vision. My parents had my eyes tested. My vision was below 20/200 and 20/400 so I was legally blind without glasses.
I was in 4th grade when my teacher figured out I couldn't see the board. And at the time we were assigned seats alphabetically so Ss were way in the back. Up until then I was "not applying myself". I still remember Mrs. Gallager
@@1oldcrow350 I remember this teacher, as well, even though it was 62 years ago. Mrs Woodward. She would also criticize me for being interested in Electronics. I had built a radio from a kit without help, on my eighth birthday, and I was working in a TV shop at 13. My eyesight has gotten worse over the decades, and I now nee cataract surgery on my right eye. It is so bad that I only see moving blobs of light. I had to buy a stereo microscope to do my work, bet that no longer helps. I am sitting four inches from a 24 inch monitor to be able to read the comments.
@@AcousticGString It has been a while. Have I spoken with you since the wounds on my legs finally close? It has been a multiple year battle. How are you doing? 😀😀😀😀😀
@@michaelterrell No, sorry to hear that. I used to be a wound management specialist, RN. Last time we said hello was around 2 weeks ago. Glad to hear they closed. It took 4 years for one of my regular patients wounds to close on his leg and spine, it was tedious but I tried so hard to get him well. I took a vacation and came back, they were all open again, I was so angry.
My youngest son had absent seizures for a while. The school was extremely accommodating (to the point where, being a small partially volunteer run school, they even got my help with light covers.) Fortunately we were able to track down the cause ourselves - it was an asthma med he was on. After we took him off that med, he was also able to get off the seizure med as well.
As someone who used to suffer from seizures when she was a kid and went into anaphylactic shock when I was nineteen, after getting a strep vaccine because I turned out to be allergic to penicillin, I agree wholeheartedly!
It's Christmas lights not a live action porno. If some Christmas lights that don't represent anything crazy are enough to set you off you have some personal problems to deal with.
On the last story on getting cars from dealerships to drive, I was in the market for a new car back in the late 1980s as well. I was living in Southern California at the time. Visiting car dealerships, there were a couple that offered me to test drive new cars by just leaving mine there. There was no salesperson with me, and I had the car for however long I wanted. And no, I didn't have to pretend I was rich or anything. That was just how it was those days.
How does an adult escape high school without at least learning that epilepsy can be expressed in grand mal (convulsing) and petit mal (non-convulsing) seizures?
The humping deer is funny. I wonder if Karen knew that there are worse out there! We have someone in our neighborhood who has one that hangs from the ceiling with red rights that is supposed to be blood into a bucket, like it was just hunted and being drained. At first I thought they were being creative, until I saw that exact lighted deer set at Walmart.
I work for the public school system and we are required to go through training to recognize and handle all basic types of seizures. We’re penalized heavily if we don’t do it. May lose are jobs penalized.
Story 3: you are the only person in this story that has nothing to do with her being fired. You were having a seizure during this whole story so how could this possibly be your fault. Apparently this woman thing she's a doctor because she keeps making this mistake, and I am so glad her kids were taken away from her, like putting your child in Jeopardy jet the prove they're not allergic to something, thank God she got fired and lost her kids.
It's called narcissism. Their pride and fragile ego, plus their incessant need to always be right (even when there are facts to the contrary) control everything they do. I used to know someone like this. Let's call her Molly. If she hadn't heard of something, she was convinced it didn't exist. There was no getting through to her on that. Then, if she did discover something, despite it being well-known to everyone else, she acted like she was the discoverer and was doing everyone some great service by letting them hear her flap her smoker's mouth full of ugly yellow teeth. Even when trying to tell her that it was common knowledge to everyone else, she would never back down and had to get the last word. Molly was the type to even medicate her own son because she didn't want to raise him or teach him boundaries. I'll let you guess what type of person her son grew up to be.
I have asthma. I had a Karen of a doctor who refused to diagnosed me as such and a Karen of a PE teacher who thought asthma just meant you were unfit. Even when I collapsed after runs, gasping for breath, she just told me I needed more exercise. It was Hell for 3 years and I never got better of course. Finally an asthma clinic opened up in our area and I went there in desperation. Sure enough, all the tests showed I had asthma - not enough to land in hospital but definitely needs strong medications and gentle exercise. I was able to change doctors and in my last year of High School I was excused from the long runs and heavy PE.
The thing about people in positions of power is that frequently (not always, or mostly) they adopt the attitude that they somehow know better and refuse to listen to those they think are "below" them. This includes teachers, parents and managers to name a few.
I had a high school PhysEd teacher that kept claiming that people couldn't break bones, you bruised or dislocated bones but never break them. I walked into class one Monday with both arms in plaster casts after falling ten feet and landing wrong, this teacher saw me and just said "I don't want to hear a thing from you!!" and walked off.
@@WolfgangDoW, why would I sue a teacher that was just an idiot. My injury was away from school, and a bit of my own stupidity for trying to avoid a fight (military brats will do a lot of dumb things to keep a parent out of trouble.)
When I was in high school and college, I used to go around and reposition as many reindeer as possible into humping positions. Even massive displays on highway medians! 😅😂 Also, OP has the right to express themselves however they want on their property. Definitely not the Karen. lol
I'm laughing very hard right now. They could probably call my plate number out for an hour and it's unlikely I would pay any attention. I may remember my plate number on a good day 😂
When my wife and I first got married, a few houses down they would hang those wire deer for Christmas by the back legs off their carport. I'm a hunter, so I found it hilarious My daughter is 6 and she's an epileptic. She has those absent seizures. It's strange to see it happen. She'll be talking or playing and then it's like a light switch flipped. We do have an emergency nasal spray medicine that we can use if she has 3 in a hour or 1 that lasts 3 minutes. It snaps her out of it within a few seconds. With her being young, her seizures are evolving. She gets more grand Mal like seizures when she's sick and runs a fever. Not counting being sick, there's nothing we can control that sets them off. I have to watch her in the rear view mirror while driving. She likes looking out the window. I taught her to give me a thumbs up if I ask her if she's OK. I know it ain't much, but it lets me know that she's ok
That last story is just a bunch of Ferris Bueller shenanigans. And the best thing about it is that even if it's a load of horseshit, it's also _completely_ plausible.
In fourth grade I fell 6 foot off the jungle gym & broke my arm between the elbow & shoulder... I went to the recess monitor & they didn't believe me & had me sit on the steps until recess was over. I guess they thought I'd get bored & go play or something, but I just laid there holding my arm. I don't feel pain like most people, so I wasn't crying or freaking out, so I guess I can't blame them.. But then the teachers took me to the bathroom & were moving my arm around & took my shirt off to get a better look or something. They told me I couldn't have broken it because I could still move it around. That was true, but it was very stiff to move... it felt very heavy. I wanted to call my mom, but I was trapped in the bathroom & this was well before cellphones... Luckily my mom had come to the school for some other reason (she used to work there & was friends with some people) & I heard her screaming down the hallway... She lost it on those teachers & took me to the hospital where I was found to have a fractured humerus.
@@jsivco3sivco785 Lol! It really wasn't. The last time I broke it was kinda humorous in how it happened though. My pet rabbit had escaped & I slipped in mud. It's the third time I've broke it in that spot. But I did laugh this last time.
@@SonsOfLorgar Unfortunately, no.... My mom chewed them out, but that was about it. She was more upset that nobody had called her in the hour since it had happened & the fact that they had me half naked in the bathroom, but she wasn't one to go nuclear or involve the law. I'm very much different when it comes to my kids.
I gave this advice to my friend, Henry. He doesn't have this problem anymore. I told him when he started having seizures to "walk it off." Karen told me it would help. It did, to some degree. Henry started having his seizure and I started frantically yelling at him to WALK IT OFF! He walked into the middle of the road and got hit by a dump truck! There were pieces of him all over the road. Then, I realized how stupid I was. Being who I am... I just walked away... I walked it off. Poor Henry.
The 3rd story triggered me because I have a seizure disorder that started later in life. I've had family and people that were like family say that they think I'm faking my condition & taking advantage of my family. If people only knew what a seizure feels like, maybe they'd stop with their outlandish assumptions.🤦🏾♀️
What does a seizure feel like? I've had this experience at a concert/festival before where I was just enjoying my time (but was getting close to the point of impulse overload as I have autism) and all of a sudden there was this weird sensation that was a bit of a headache, a weird sense of tiredness, and like parts of my brain were completely short circuiting. I thought: this must be what a seizure feels like, but I've never actually asked someone what they experience so I'm doing it now. By that time I had already had meltdown/shutdowns but those don't feel the same. Especially shutdowns just feel like your brain stops firing non essential stuff properly to the point where I get tense and am not able to extensively react or speak and I'll be out of it but more in the sense that I just can't handle more. It could've also been a light triggered migraine but in that case I've never had a light triggered migraine that felt the same since so probably not.
@@ammalyrical5646 thank you for sharing your experience and for trying to understand! I can't explain what they feel like during but once I've come out of it, it feels like I've been electrocuted and ran over by a herd of elephants among other things. Sometimes, it takes hours before I'm back to MY normal. My seizures are caused by a brain tumor so it may be different for those with true Epilepsy.
@Darnia Taylor I agree with you too. Even if my experience wasn't a seizure, I don't get why anyone would fake something like it. But then there are people faking tourette, autism, or DID, so what do I know about that brand of people? My asd brain already has issues reading the less troubled people
@@ammalyrical5646 they feel different for everyone. I was undiagnosed until almost 30. I had what I always referred to as “that weird thing is happening again.” That “weird thing” was the aura that comes with my seizures. Not all ppl with epilepsy get an aura before. Even though it feels weird, I am glad that I get auras first because it lets me know it’s seizure time. For me, an aura feels like my senses are confused. Blurry peripheral vision, hearing a blob of noise instead of individual sounds and a general feeling of discomfort. Until my sight feels like it’s just a pinpoint black dot. Auras are actually part of the seizure so to say it comes before is misleading. After a seizure is also weird. Jumbled words that don’t make sense and sleep. Lots and lots of sleep. But, like I said, it’s different for everyone who has epilepsy. Good luck with all that, best wishes!
The man in the last story is a freaking legend! Bullshitting his way up to upgrade each ride is proof that he needs a raise at work. And all four were sweet rides. I wouldn't be surprised if they were able to pickup women in those grown-up hot wheels. I dub thee, "The Baller", because it took a lot of balls to pull that pro-gamer move.
Nowadays, maybe not, but back then one of our boys was in a special class run by the Commerce Department in our city that gave the students real world business experience and collage credit while still in high school. One time they went to a conference where Bill Gates was speaking, so of course they were all dressed to the nines. During a break they were at a mall that was close by, and as they were dressed so nice of course they noticed so....they ran with it. One would be the 'customer' and the others the 'entourage'. One of the girls acted like a 'personal assistant'. They got the grand tour of many expensive places, including a special showroom at BOWEZ! Some of them, including our son, were also theater kids so that helped!
Dear Fluff, I developed epilepsy in my mid 40's and I couldn't possibly write about all the Karens and Kens that have done horrible things to me. Most epileptics have different types of seizures. I have grand mals and petit mal seizures. Stress is the worst thing for epileptics. I worked in a factory in the auto industry. People I didn't know and even worse, people I thought were my friends I had worked with over 22 years were spreading rumors and reporting me to the main office Labor relations for being a drunk and or a heroine addict. I told my coworkers and my boss about my epilepsy and had the medical documentation too but it didn't help stop the insanity. I was called a liar and even fired. Being a union worker, the International Union got involved and I was given my job back with all back pay and bonuses. But it didn't last long. Because so many people kept complaining about me, the company put me out on indefinite sick leave claiming I was a danger to myself and others. I have been on early disability retirement now for 6 years and I do not miss all the fear, the stress and horrible accusations I endured daily. I miss working but living a quiet and peaceful life has led to my seizures being less frequent. People can be so cruel and those of us with disabilities that aren't easily seen until an episode happens shouldn't have to wear a bright neon orange t shirt saying EPILEPTIC every day. If people do not know what's happening or how to help or don't want to help then please shut up and mind you own business. Their causing more harm.
The teacher story hits pretty close to home. Not because of any teachers, but rather her behaviour. I don't have epilepsy, but I do have seizures caused by a condition known as PNES (psychogenic non-epileptic seizures), and I've been accused of faking during the testing and diagnosis process. I also have a life-threatening allergy and it irks me to no end when I hear people say allergies aren't real.
Ikr escailly allergy because wtf I have sister who could die her allergy and I have mild allergy but still prefer not be sick for days. They are 100% real same with seizures no matter how mild
Hello my zebra striped friend. Was hoping to find someone else here making this comment. You are much braver than I. I dropped the P a long time ago due to the stigma associated to the psychological component (not denying there's the link I just got tired of the BS and getting subpar care for other things when needed). I just use NES or steal the across the pond's version of NEAD. Because ya know, even the medical establishments don't know how to classify us really. Last guy who told me to stop faking it found himself in hot water when I had an event coming out of anesthesia because you know, totally wanted to be tanking my oxygen levels and disturbing the surgical site with my twitching. Sorry to hear you have a life-threatening allergy to boot. Hope you are one of the people who respond well to the conventional treatments and have the pesky things under control. May your years be seizure free and never need to use your epi-pens.
@@kuroiflyerneko - Better than what they used to call it. The former name for the condition was Pseudo-seizures. Anyway, my condition is controlled, partly with antiseizure medicine, but mainly through stress management. My PNES stems from PTSD and is triggered by heightened stress, extreme anxiety, and fresh trauma. Keeping stress and anxiety under control minimizes symptoms.
@@thesnowyzorua378 - My allergy is to petrol and petroleum derivatives, which are used in a lot of household products including aerosol propellants and powdered detergents. I have to be constantly on guard against exposure. Petrol stations, laundromats and store laundry aisles are high-risk zones. The number of times I've had an anaphylactic episode from mundane tasks, well, it really pisses me off when someone says the thing that could kill me isn't real. Even walking past the end of an aisle with soaps and detergents can make me short of breath. A laundromat is equivalent to a gas chamber. Allergy deniers are disrespectful, ignorant knobheads.
As far as the light-up deer orgy goes ... is it kinda vulgar? Yeah. Is it funny? Fuck yes. Should Karen have bitched about it? No. Look at like half the stand-up comedians in the world ... they're usually vulgar and usually pretty funny. It's not like one cancels out the other.
Are children allowed in a comedy club to hear the vulgar comedian? No. Should parents allow their children to hear or see this? No. Bad parenting if you do. It sickens me to hear parents cussing at their kids. And society just accepts this?
I was once in a Tennessee rest area when the lot security guard told me I could not be parked in the disabled spot without the tag for my mirror. I had a mix of annoyance and amusement as I walked to the back of my town and country to point to the disabled veteran tag complete with the little wheelchair. He was confused and then walked off red in the face. I'm glad he didn't meet a disabled Karen that day.
The Karen accosting the disabled person is high on my list of why I haven’t gotten a disabled parking pass. I’ve seen obvious disabled people being harassed for not being “disabled enough”. My disabilities are invisible and thankfully with treatments and medication I’m able to have productive days. When I have a flare I stay home because I have that option, many don’t.
Story 3: This person was allowed to take care of children! Not just her own, but other people's children as well! Is there such a thing as a restraining order that means she's not allowed within 100 meters of any children in the entire world? Because all children in the world should get one against her.
In the deer story, the OP is not the Karen. OP can have whatever decorations they want and it's not even vulgar. It's not like he put a weiner on the deer. Completely harmless, it could easily just be 2 deer playing. I can picture it now. Karen is in the car with her kids and they burst out laughing and she goes into a rage.
In Sweden, we have our own deer story. A municipality had set up a couple of Christmas goats in a roundabout and some joker had put one on top of the other. It was in the newspaper and soon a couple of toddlers arrived. :)
The last one was funny and it was the 80's where things were crazy but calmly controlled. Unfortunately we can't replace 80's craziness but what a time it was too.
Second story: Why are people so conflicted on this, thinking OP's the entitled puck? Last time I checked, their yard, their rules, and never asked for the complainer's useless opinion. its like users on DA seeing things they dont like, they for some reason feel so driven to go TOWARDS the thing they dont like and then complain about it to the maker... When the not-stupid reaction is to just go away from it.
I think it's hilarious 😂 (the deer) Unfortunately for the teacher..she got what she deserves..my son has anaphylaxis to peanuts and my father in law didn't believe it so I NEVER would allow him to keep him.
I work as a substitute teacher and in the lesson plan it specifically states what students have issues. This teacher should be immediately fired or at the very least suspended.
9:57 Karen made a very common, but very silly and strangely fitting, grammatical error when she said the smell of OP's cooking "made her nauseous". If someone or something is "nauseous", it means they/it make others sick! The correct word for someone suffering from nausea is actually "nauseated"! It unintentionally works in Karen's case, because Karens are nauseous creatures by nature, sickening anyone who has the misfortune of interacting with them!
Re: Christmas lights. I can't stop laughing!!! I can hear my sons saying 'Mom, chill!!! Not EVERYTHING needs to be a teaching moment!) 🙃 Re: Second Story. Kudos to the students/friends who understood the condition, knew what was required, and reported the situation to a responsible adult!!👏
In 1985, I began my junior year of highschool, beaten and battered after a car accident. I had suffered a third degree concussion and broken one leg.... as well as several bones in my skull. Many friends and teachers were very concerned about me and spoke their happiness that I had survived the accident. 9 months later, I finished the school year comatose, after being run over by a truck while riding my pedal bike. --Breaking both legs and various bones in my skull again.... When I finally was released from the hospital, I began my senior year feeling very timid and shy having woken from the coma and having to get used to the "real" world all over. One day, between classes, a teacher of mine from the year before caught up with me.... She explained to me how difficult it was for her to 'teach a classroom of crying students'. I was walking very unsteadily upon a crutch at the time and she put her finger to my chest, pushed me back against the lockers and threatened me: "You do that to me again and I will kill you myself!" She scared me so badly that it left me, on weak legs, shaking feebly against that wall. Now,, had that happened these days.... Just imagine the kind of lawsuit I could have filed against her! 😀
Story 4: like the song says "less they paying your bills pay them b****** no mind". I don't know what made her think she can get them and you pay for half of her apartments renovations or stop cooking in your apartment, but at least she knows now.
Story 4 - It's time for OP to start making curry. Karen should be grateful that OP knows how to cook, I knew someone who waited for milk to boil over before removing it from the stove (this was way back when, before microwaves were common).
PSA: Feeding someone something you know they're allergic to is attempted murder
Yup, and it should be charged as such every single time!
well she lost her children, what a dunce that "teacher" was, did not learn what real life is about, probably religious upbringing, such close minded people !
That's why I say she should have been jailed as well as fired. As a matter of fact, if the peanut butter incident happened before she became a teacher I don't see how she was hired.
When she attacked OP for making her loose her job online OP should have responded with "Did I also Make CPS take your children when you tried to kill one of them?" !!!
yeah
doing that is definitely the fastest way to catch a case of Attempted Murder One
Last Christmas, our local Karen decided to tell all of us on the block that the only decorations had to be "Karen approved" - "Classy. NONE of those horrible blow up Santas and Snowmen or other things!" I glanced at her house, and noticed all five of her decorations were plastic Dollar Tree things (think "plate style" cheap plastic). This set off the old guy next door to us. He decided to go "all out" and went around to every house and suggested we go for the "most decorated street in the city" and he would even help those who could not afford to decorate. Everyone had giant blow up Santas, blow up trains, lights galore, light up candy canes and Christmas light posts, light up deer, even those "dancing" lights that light up the wall of your house. Even the Muslim family across the street had a light up nativity and played Christmas carols every night!!! Every house on the block. We could have easily been "the most decorated gaudiest street in the city" and I'm sure the power company loved us that year! Every house that is - except Karen's house. She fumed every single day the lights came on. Especially the house right next door to her who had "everything penguin" - penguins sliding down from the roof, penguins sitting on top of a pile of snow, penguins coming out of igloos, penguins hanging by flippers from the trees and swinging in the winter breeze. Karen HATED penguins - but the Penguin neighbours? They WON for "Most Fun Decorations" in the city and constantly had people driving by. Christmas 2022? Not a word from Karen about "keeping things simple and classy only". We still went all out and people were changing decorations with one another and helping each other set up things - but Karen didn't say a word. I love the old guy who wouldn't let Karen dictate how the rest of us decorate. She did try to keep Halloween 2022 decorations down as she seemed to have FORGOTTEN Christmas 2021 - and we basically had a street wide "haunted house" as a result. While Karen's house had a single little "Happy Halloween" in the window. Thanks, Old Guy, for bringing us all together!!!
This gave me a giggle
I'd love to see a mini documentary on TH-cam about all this, from you and your neighbours.
I would've loved to see this 😁🤣🤣🤣

Omg what kind of pos tells a student they're faking a medical condition & then turns around & gives their own child peanut butter knowing their child is allergic to peanuts! I'm so glad that she not only lost her job for her negligence but also custody of her child! At least this total pos can't harm any other child
I lived with someone with a seizure disorder for decades (until he passed away from undiagnosed metastatic cancer-a while different story). Seizures can take several different forms, but trust me, you need to be very careful when you're with someone having a seizure and know exactly what you are doing. That Karen deserved to be fired. She also deserved to have her teaching license revoked. That's beyond stupid or entitled; that's criminal.
Seizures are tricky. There are multiple types of seizures and multiple disorders that can cause them. That teacher was foolish thinking that knowing one person with epilepsy constituted comprehensive knowledge on the subject. I have seizures but don't have epilepsy. I had to do a lot of research to really understand my condition, and to help those close to me understand and know how to respond. Her arrogance was her undoing, thinking she knew more than everyone else instead of investigating and trying to understand. I agree, she deserved to be fired. Someone like that shouldn't be working with children.
Absolutely. There is a whole and vast spectrum of seizures.
And not only kept away from children but all living things
Well said! And I fully agree, she deserved to be fired and deserved to lose her kids. I really hope she got some sort of criminal charge. That story had my blood boiling, after saying a kid was lying about seizures and then finding out she dang near killed her own kid by sending PB and j KNOWING the child has an allergy??!!?? What in the actual ****, what kind of person even does that
Seriously. My old dog lived with epilepsy for 16 years. Doesn't make me believe I am an expert on epilepsy in dogs or people.
I rather help a person faking a seizure and calling them am A-hole when I find out it was fake, then not help someone who has a seizure thinking it was fake.
Same here to be honest
Absolutly!!!
Story 3: Yeah, after the Epilepsy and PB allergy incident, Karen is proven to be unsafe around kids, and someone could die. Automatically believing that kids are faking s**t for attention? Not good
I guess it's hoping to catch lightning in a bottle that she lost her teaching license over both incidents
When she accused OP of getting her fired, OP should have asked "Did I Also have your children taken by CPS, when you tried to kill one of them?" Some people just can't take credit for anything they do!
It bad enough if she didn't believe one child have a condition but to endanger her own kid is bad enough. She shouldn't be around. Let alone raise them.
Mad house for that idiot
Karens accusing Not only kids, but adults too of faking medical conditions and saying "they are having temper tantrums. Seizures aren't a thing. Blah blah blah."
I had a nightmare where a karen attacked my friend's older beother Daniel whom is an epilepsy sufferer, and so is my friend, and the karen fed soy laced foods to my friend's brother causinf him to have a grand mal seizure and saying "oh! He is having a tantrum, he's too grown for that!" And my friend pulled out her phone and called the park ranger, and the park ranger came and then called 911 for medical emergency then the ambulance came, the paramedics got dan and took him to the hospital, and Catie was screaming at the karen "HOW WOULD YOU FEEL IF I POISONED YOUR HUSBAND, KNOWING HE HAS AN ALLERGY TO SOMETHING EDIBLE?!? YOU WOULD FEEL THE ANGER I AM FEELING RIGHT NOW! YOU COULD HAVE KILLED MY BROTHER! MY FAMILY WILL SUE YOU FOR 5000$ IN CASH TO PAY THE MEDICAL BILLS AND STUFF! I'D KICK YOUR HEAD OFF IF YOU WERE A FLIMSY BREAKABLE MANNEQUIN DOLL!" as the park ranger arrested the karen.
I had to help a customer with a 55" tv once. It was Black Friday if 2008, and only 20 or so minutes after we opened. She wanted me to figure out a way to fit the tv in the passenger seat of her Fiero. After repeatedly explaining in plain speak that her little car wasn't the TARDIS, she ended up calling her husband to come with his pickup and help her take the tv home. Then she tried to berate me for ruining Christmas for her husband. I told her that I was happy to help and took her cart back into the store to help the next customer who was much more reasonable.
OP was BOLD enough to pull that kind of stunts at the car dealership ..
Hat's off to him ..
I'm surprised they didn't get caught doing this!
It is impressive
It's a stupid move, if anything happened to any of the cars he would have been responsible for all of them, he may have won that time but stupid games win stupid prizes.
The 1980's were the time when "stupid games" were invented, and IT WAS FUN !!!!!!
Lying, cheating conman. Not impressed with liars or cheats.
*Second Story:* OP offended a Karen when everyone else thought it was funny. He's doing it right!
*Third Story:* Sadly, that Karen Teacher is not unique these days. So many post TikTok videos of their horrific views and teaching methods. But the ones who _don't_ post to TikTok and thus aren't advertising their monstrosity are the ones who worry me more.
The sad thing is here, that she knew OP had Seizures and yet, she still tried to harm them and not only that, her own son almost died because of her actions as well.
Right? I thought the deer thing was just amazingly funny. If you don´t like it, look another way. I think, people are really stuck up
@@Morpheus-wt7yb What are you talking about?
@@JadenYukifan28 Story two?
@@jaynewman6420 I was referring to the Seizure story
"I paid for my apartment and i don't want to be subjected to your nasty smells." "I paid for my apartment and I don't want to be subjected to your nasty attitude, so we're even." *SLAM*
Sounds about right.
Cabbage and onion offensive smells, hell both of them are normal everyday foods where I am.
Right unless your allergic don’t say anything
@@pizzapartytime1826 yeah if it allergies sure but yea wtf cage and onions are extremely common
@@thesnowyzorua378 right!
My daughter has absent seizures. That teacher was 100% in the wrong. I would be pissed if she yelled at and tried to touch my child
Story 4: That is so extreme and ridiculous. I am allergic to onion. It is different from the situation in the fact that I just can't eat them. The fish on the other hand I can't stand the smell of. In that situation I would be like "Hey, I'm your neighbor. I just wanted to come say hi and introduce myself. I also wanted to talk to you about when you cook fish. I really don't like the smell it makes me feel sick, do you think maybe we can work something out. Maybe you could give me a heads up if you cook fish and I can light a candle or something. I can give you my number or we could work something else out." Like that kind of thing.
If the neighbor had come to him asking this, instead of demanding he pay of for something for her specifically, proooobably would have gone better. Especially if you're allergic, this is a much more reasonable response. (Obviously she wasn't, but still).
Story 2. There's a hardware store I tend to shop. In the men's room, someone took a pocketknife and etched two deer (buck and doe) on the toilet paper dispenser, and let's just say that the doe liked what the buck was giving her. Stayed that way for several years. Then someone else took their pocketknife and added antlers to the doe. Some months later, new toilet paper dispenser.
Roflmao! Some people are soo uptight 🤣
@@SonsOfLorgar Yep.
I love how they only replace the toilet dispenser when it becomes gay, lol
@@jaydenburnham3229 Yep. Of course, that may not have been the only reason, but it's still funny, given that it had been there for years, until the doe got antlers.
Could have been reindeer. Female reindeer have antlers that they keep for life, while the males shed theirs every year.
Karen: Why do you have that?
Me: Personal reasons.
Karen: And they are?
Me: Personal.
I think it's wonderful that the epileptic's classmates stood up for her.
Yeah. Plus with the KT, if the student had a bad seizure, and died, or was hospitalised, it would be a different story
My thought exactly.
Yes. Absolutely. It's a relief for someone like me. 3 friends (one my cousin who IS my best friend) have literally saved my life. It makes me emotional because they just acted, no thought, just moved and helped. Those kids in class good kids.
The person who came to them is the entitled one. It’s on their private property, and their own decorations they can do whatever they want. They aren’t doing any harm and it seems like everyone in the neighborhood thinks it’s amusing.
On their own property does not matter if it where actually harmful or offensive since if it is seen from public apaces, thats all that matters.... But anatomically not correct animals procriating is not offensive or harmful... Kids will see "worse " in any animal documentary and as someone who looked a lot of those as a small child... They very much did not do harm as I have a very healthy relationship to things like nursing or death. Seing and knowing how copulation works in an detatched matter without making it a big deal does not traimatise kids, make them promiscous or whatever the fear is.
last story. Yes, you could totally pull this off in the 80s. Fun as hell too.
As a Security Guard, I can confirm, depending on severity, you can be banned from every place we guard.
Bahahaha who the f would get upset about deer looking like they're humping? Silly Karen's.
We have real deer that are pretty much taking over my town. So yeah I don't see Karen patrolling the streets making sure that they're not humping here.
5:58 *I TOTALLY UNDERSTAND!!! I'm epileptic and when I have seizures, my brain shuts-off but my body keeps going.*
I've had a seizure where I tried to get out of the car while my parents were on the freeway! After that, I always had to have the child safety lock on, and I was in college...
I hate the whole “my cousin has this,” “my friend is that,” “I know someone who...” bs. People need to realize that two people can have the exact same condition, interest, orientation, origin, etc., and the thing can, and likely will, look different between the two people.
Ex. If I ask two people what “happy” looks like, one might say, “being a dad” and the other might say, “hiking.”
If I ask two people what “sad” looks like, one might say, “poverty” and the other might say, “loss.”
"My cousin has xxx and (𝑛𝑜 𝑝𝑟𝑜𝑏𝑙𝑒𝑚)". Does the speaker even realize how unlikely and disingenuous that sounds.
Yeah, many people do not realize that everyone has different body chemistry even if they do seem similar. I actually had a doctor say to me that I don't work well with medicines.
Or maybe what "happy" is, one might say "being a dad" and the other might say "not being a dad" - totally opposite ideas of happy!
Especially autism since its a spectrum, my aunt works for a special needs school and so she doesn't believe her own kids could have autism, and we're pretty sure they fall somewhere on the spectrum (since its genetic and I'm on the spectrum, its made me question my relatives past behavior, just because you don't go to a doctor for a diagnosis doesn't mean you don't have it), because shes around kids that could throw chairs and spit at her
Story 3: That lousy excuse of a teacher deserved to be fired, and have her teaching license revoked for assuming that OP is 'faking' their seizures.
In my own opinion, I think teachers should at least be ordered to go through an 'Medical COndition awareness' class prior to teaching. I don't know how the process of getting one's teaching license works, but KT should've known about this before assuming OP is feigning an illness because of the basis on what her cousin has. As Y pointed out, you can't just send someone to the office for something they have no control over and seizures can take different forms.
Also, WTF was KT thinking about berating someone on FB because 'they got her fired'!? She should've at least realized her actions was what got her fired - she touched OP without consent [and while they were seizing, no less!] and intimidated students. Is it no wonder she lost custody of her own kids? I've read that in some jurisdictions, forcing someone to eat an item that they're allergic to can be considered a form of attempted murder or manslaughter.
That being said, I'm glad her own kids were removed from that harmful environment.
While I am not a teacher myself, I used to work at a public library; I had to submit at background check (plus vulnerable sector check) each year due to working in proximity to children.
The saying about not all disabilities being visible is very true. I use a wheelchair to get around due to severe walking difficulties. My other half, you wouldn't think there was anything wrong with him, but he's far more disabled than I am.
Omg the deer story is so so funny. People need to lighten up lol
Not to mention the people in the post comments acting like the original poster was in the wrong
FR its funny and not inappropriate, actually. They'd see 'worse' at the zoo
I haven't stopped laughing since I first saw the photos 😂😆🤣!
I was a horse girl in my teens and I grew up in an area where people were in a very matter of factual way not prude.
So one day a Karen-type woman with her daughter came to book riding lessons for the daughter when the boss of the riding stable was not around. Judging from the womans accent I know she was from a more prude part of the country. I knew she should be back soon so I told them to just sit at the bench and wait but not to go into the stable alone. They did not but wandered off to the paddocks. I did not care because we did not have any trouble horses out there that time and I hoped they would not be stupid enough to enter the paddocks. Then I heard hysterical screaming from the mother and I thought they did enter and somehow got hurt but no, obviously a stallion we had as a guest horse for a few days had opened one door and jumped 3! fences to get to one of the mares to do „IT“ and little princess saw the sinny thing and now was traumatized for the rest of her life. I could hardly keep my laughter.
Luckily just then the boss returned the two were her problem.
Yeah, it is funny but Christmas reindeer are mostly for children. And what that lady did going up to op's door was wrong I still think it is tacky. I lived near Pasadena and every year we would go up down these streets with the most amazing light displays and it's a big part of my childhood. I would be so uncomfortable if I had smaller children with me and they asked what the deer were doing. I'm sure you could probably tell them they're playing but I still wouldn't want to be put in that position. These days kids don't have a chance to be kids just look what they are exposed to today.
Hi, I'm epileptic. I would happily have taken OP's place in this case because of how my tonic clonic seizures happen, but more so before they happen, and after they happen:
Before: I grab whatever is in front of me, so in a school setting, I would 100% grab my papers off the desk, and then crunch them in my fists. Then I THROW whatever I've hulk-smashed in my paws to the general area in front of me, so I would've thrown those crumpled papers at the Karen. Then I stand up, the chair under me flies backward if it's not attached, and I scream bloody murder, then I go rigid and fall face first.
(Insert seizure here)
After: to clarify for non-epileptics, there's often a period after a tonic clonic grand mal, called the post-ictal phase, and I describe it like this.... when you have a seizure, it's like when you blow a fuse, and the entire house of lights suddenly goes out. When I'm post-ictal, it's like the lights coming back on, but not all at the same time, and in the complete wrong order. So my consciousness will return first, but I can't talk yet, or hear, or anything else really. Then my speech comes back, but not my actual thinking, or my memory retention, or my emotional regulation. I'm scared at this point to start seeing EMTs and I'm on the floor, I can't understand what's happened, and I can't hear, so I start screaming really terrible things at the people around me, I try to fight them from touching me, and even though I'm being told repeatedly that I've seized, I still can't understand, so I keep demanding to know what's going on. Then my short term memory turns on, and this is the point where looking back, I can remember some stuff, and I remember people still telling me over and over that I've seized, then I get upset and embarrassed and I burst into tears lol. Then the pain of having run a marathon in the last few minutes kicks in so I cry harder. Anyway so insert the loud swearing, thrashing, fighting, non responsiveness etc into OP's Karen story and honestly I'd love to have taken their place JUST to have made Karen go through my post-ictal phase with me. 😂😂😂 I never get to ENJOY anything about being epileptic so.... you can't blame a girl for daydreaming about this one.... 😜
Last story, at age 26 in 1983, I did much the same thing. On the last day of a 4 day solo camping trip, I rode my motorcycle (full dress touring bike) into first a Porsche dealer in Newport Beach where I spun a tale and talked my way into test driving a new 928, then just down the road I got to drive a Ferrari. Both had the salesman in the car with me, but they both completely believed I was deciding between the two cars to treat myself after "completing my biggest sale of a retail business." All this, despite looking a little weathered and scruffy after 2400 miles of riding and several nights in a tent. Sweet rides, but I was basically broke, finishing up college on the G.I. bill and could no way afford ANY new car, let alone a Porsche or Ferrari.
Imagine being so sensitive that you think deer decoration OP is the karen 🤣🥃
story 2. op is not the ahole, i think it is awesome how they arranged the christmas decorations and no one seemed to have a problem with it except karen. i applaud op for their perfect passive aggressive response.
Agreed 100%
My fifth grade teacher accused me of faking poor vision. My parents had my eyes tested. My vision was below 20/200 and 20/400 so I was legally blind without glasses.
I was in 4th grade when my teacher figured out I couldn't see the board. And at the time we were assigned seats alphabetically so Ss were way in the back. Up until then I was "not applying myself". I still remember Mrs. Gallager
@@1oldcrow350 I remember this teacher, as well, even though it was 62 years ago. Mrs Woodward. She would also criticize me for being interested in Electronics. I had built a radio from a kit without help, on my eighth birthday, and I was working in a TV shop at 13. My eyesight has gotten worse over the decades, and I now nee cataract surgery on my right eye. It is so bad that I only see moving blobs of light.

I took a vacation and came back, they were all open again, I was so angry.
My youngest son had absent seizures for a while. The school was extremely accommodating (to the point where, being a small partially volunteer run school, they even got my help with light covers.) Fortunately we were able to track down the cause ourselves - it was an asthma med he was on. After we took him off that med, he was also able to get off the seizure med as well.
People don't fake everything they do, there are big signs when something is a real thing instead of fake.

Lots of places dealership sales guys are fully commission so they might not receive much push back since it wasn't likely costing the dealership much
On the last story on getting cars from dealerships to drive, I was in the market for a new car back in the late 1980s as well. I was living in Southern California at the time. Visiting car dealerships, there were a couple that offered me to test drive new cars by just leaving mine there. There was no salesperson with me, and I had the car for however long I wanted. And no, I didn't have to pretend I was rich or anything. That was just how it was those days.
How does an adult escape high school without at least learning that epilepsy can be expressed in grand mal (convulsing) and petit mal (non-convulsing) seizures?
Sometimes they barely teach you epilepsy exists... and to put / not put stuff in the mouth of person having seizure.
Because bullies view everything through a filter of one upping, mockery, etc.
What high school did you go to that taught you about seizures?
Story Two: They're his decorations on his property. It's nobody else's business.
The humping deer is funny. I wonder if Karen knew that there are worse out there! We have someone in our neighborhood who has one that hangs from the ceiling with red rights that is supposed to be blood into a bucket, like it was just hunted and being drained. At first I thought they were being creative, until I saw that exact lighted deer set at Walmart.
Ewe!
Dude, the deer are just silly! Lord knows we would pose my mom's stuffed moose and bear just to make her laugh.
I work for the public school system and we are required to go through training to recognize and handle all basic types of seizures. We’re penalized heavily if we don’t do it. May lose are jobs penalized.
For Story 1, I'm sure Mike also didn't want to open the store up to liability!
The idiot wanted to save money on delivery, but apparently not on Gas
Story 3: you are the only person in this story that has nothing to do with her being fired. You were having a seizure during this whole story so how could this possibly be your fault. Apparently this woman thing she's a doctor because she keeps making this mistake, and I am so glad her kids were taken away from her, like putting your child in Jeopardy jet the prove they're not allergic to something, thank God she got fired and lost her kids.
She should also be locked up for attempted murder on her kid!
It's called narcissism. Their pride and fragile ego, plus their incessant need to always be right (even when there are facts to the contrary) control everything they do. I used to know someone like this. Let's call her Molly. If she hadn't heard of something, she was convinced it didn't exist. There was no getting through to her on that. Then, if she did discover something, despite it being well-known to everyone else, she acted like she was the discoverer and was doing everyone some great service by letting them hear her flap her smoker's mouth full of ugly yellow teeth. Even when trying to tell her that it was common knowledge to everyone else, she would never back down and had to get the last word. Molly was the type to even medicate her own son because she didn't want to raise him or teach him boundaries. I'll let you guess what type of person her son grew up to be.
She also has a lot of balls harassing people afterward online. That can be considered cyberbullying and harassment.
@@MegaMegaman87 You would be correct on both counts.
are we sure this karen knows somebody with epilepsy?
Yeahhhh, I for sure would have ripped that teacher a new one!!!
#2, it's Lights, just lights. Okay Karen, we know what's on your mind
I have asthma. I had a Karen of a doctor who refused to diagnosed me as such and a Karen of a PE teacher who thought asthma just meant you were unfit. Even when I collapsed after runs, gasping for breath, she just told me I needed more exercise. It was Hell for 3 years and I never got better of course. Finally an asthma clinic opened up in our area and I went there in desperation. Sure enough, all the tests showed I had asthma - not enough to land in hospital but definitely needs strong medications and gentle exercise. I was able to change doctors and in my last year of High School I was excused from the long runs and heavy PE.
You're not by yourself when it comes to having a coach in school that wants you to do more than you're capable of doing.
I had s doctor who told me my asthma would clear up "like magic" when I got a boyfriend. He was an ignorant prick.
The thing about people in positions of power is that frequently (not always, or mostly) they adopt the attitude that they somehow know better and refuse to listen to those they think are "below" them. This includes teachers, parents and managers to name a few.
First story - if that idiot did try to think it would overload his 2 remaining brain cells.
I had a student who had a seizure. I just lie him down in SSLP. And ordered everyone not to touch him.
First story reminds me of a saying
Your failure to plan ahead on your part does NOT constitute a problem on my part.
Good day
It is extremely natural for animals to stand under their parents for protection which is what's going on in the first scene. OP is not a Karen.
I had a high school PhysEd teacher that kept claiming that people couldn't break bones, you bruised or dislocated bones but never break them. I walked into class one Monday with both arms in plaster casts after falling ten feet and landing wrong, this teacher saw me and just said "I don't want to hear a thing from you!!" and walked off.
Slap them around the head with both casts to prove a point?
Sue him
@@WolfgangDoW For what? The teacher were a bit rude but he didn’t do anything to the kid. 😅😂
@@WolfgangDoW, why would I sue a teacher that was just an idiot. My injury was away from school, and a bit of my own stupidity for trying to avoid a fight (military brats will do a lot of dumb things to keep a parent out of trouble.)
The last story:
I can definitely see that happening in the late 80's. Great story, a little miscif and no one/nothing was hurt!
When I was in high school and college, I used to go around and reposition as many reindeer as possible into humping positions. Even massive displays on highway medians! 😅😂
Also, OP has the right to express themselves however they want on their property. Definitely not the Karen. lol
I'm laughing very hard right now. They could probably call my plate number out for an hour and it's unlikely I would pay any attention. I may remember my plate number on a good day 😂
S3 Karen - "Seizures aren't real. She's faking it."
Epileptics 💜🎗 (including me) - Oh hell, no!
When my wife and I first got married, a few houses down they would hang those wire deer for Christmas by the back legs off their carport. I'm a hunter, so I found it hilarious
My daughter is 6 and she's an epileptic. She has those absent seizures. It's strange to see it happen. She'll be talking or playing and then it's like a light switch flipped. We do have an emergency nasal spray medicine that we can use if she has 3 in a hour or 1 that lasts 3 minutes. It snaps her out of it within a few seconds. With her being young, her seizures are evolving. She gets more grand Mal like seizures when she's sick and runs a fever. Not counting being sick, there's nothing we can control that sets them off. I have to watch her in the rear view mirror while driving. She likes looking out the window. I taught her to give me a thumbs up if I ask her if she's OK. I know it ain't much, but it lets me know that she's ok
OP is super funny for the the humping deers. That’s so fabulous!
The other lady is the KAREN!!!
Ok nicking the deer idea. that's funny as hell. And the bat who complained don't like it, she can not do it at her house.
Those deer are seriously funny. Thank you for the idea for next Christmas.
The last story. The kid doesn''t have brass balls, he's got cannon balls.
Oh, deer! I think that OP has a great sense of humor, and the Karen is the bad guy.
That last story is just a bunch of Ferris Bueller shenanigans.
And the best thing about it is that even if it's a load of horseshit, it's also _completely_ plausible.
In fourth grade I fell 6 foot off the jungle gym & broke my arm between the elbow & shoulder...
I went to the recess monitor & they didn't believe me & had me sit on the steps until recess was over. I guess they thought I'd get bored & go play or something, but I just laid there holding my arm. I don't feel pain like most people, so I wasn't crying or freaking out, so I guess I can't blame them..
But then the teachers took me to the bathroom & were moving my arm around & took my shirt off to get a better look or something. They told me I couldn't have broken it because I could still move it around. That was true, but it was very stiff to move... it felt very heavy. I wanted to call my mom, but I was trapped in the bathroom & this was well before cellphones...
Luckily my mom had come to the school for some other reason (she used to work there & was friends with some people) & I heard her screaming down the hallway...
She lost it on those teachers & took me to the hospital where I was found to have a fractured humerus.
Having a fractured humerus is not very humorous!
I hope you got those teachers in hot water over their abuse as forcing you to move your arm with a broken bone could have caused an arterial bleeding!
@@jsivco3sivco785
Lol! It really wasn't. The last time I broke it was kinda humorous in how it happened though. My pet rabbit had escaped & I slipped in mud. It's the third time I've broke it in that spot.
But I did laugh this last time.
@@SonsOfLorgar
Unfortunately, no.... My mom chewed them out, but that was about it. She was more upset that nobody had called her in the hour since it had happened & the fact that they had me half naked in the bathroom, but she wasn't one to go nuclear or involve the law.
I'm very much different when it comes to my kids.
I gave this advice to my friend, Henry. He doesn't have this problem anymore. I told him when he started having seizures to "walk it off." Karen told me it would help. It did, to some degree. Henry started having his seizure and I started frantically yelling at him to WALK IT OFF! He walked into the middle of the road and got hit by a dump truck! There were pieces of him all over the road. Then, I realized how stupid I was. Being who I am... I just walked away... I walked it off. Poor Henry.
The 3rd story triggered me because I have a seizure disorder that started later in life. I've had family and people that were like family say that they think I'm faking my condition & taking advantage of my family. If people only knew what a seizure feels like, maybe they'd stop with their outlandish assumptions.🤦🏾♀️
Same here. Just started two years ago.
What does a seizure feel like? I've had this experience at a concert/festival before where I was just enjoying my time (but was getting close to the point of impulse overload as I have autism) and all of a sudden there was this weird sensation that was a bit of a headache, a weird sense of tiredness, and like parts of my brain were completely short circuiting. I thought: this must be what a seizure feels like, but I've never actually asked someone what they experience so I'm doing it now.
By that time I had already had meltdown/shutdowns but those don't feel the same. Especially shutdowns just feel like your brain stops firing non essential stuff properly to the point where I get tense and am not able to extensively react or speak and I'll be out of it but more in the sense that I just can't handle more.
It could've also been a light triggered migraine but in that case I've never had a light triggered migraine that felt the same since so probably not.
@@ammalyrical5646 thank you for sharing your experience and for trying to understand! I can't explain what they feel like during but once I've come out of it, it feels like I've been electrocuted and ran over by a herd of elephants among other things. Sometimes, it takes hours before I'm back to MY normal. My seizures are caused by a brain tumor so it may be different for those with true Epilepsy.
@Darnia Taylor I agree with you too. Even if my experience wasn't a seizure, I don't get why anyone would fake something like it. But then there are people faking tourette, autism, or DID, so what do I know about that brand of people? My asd brain already has issues reading the less troubled people
@@ammalyrical5646 they feel different for everyone. I was undiagnosed until almost 30. I had what I always referred to as “that weird thing is happening again.” That “weird thing” was the aura that comes with my seizures. Not all ppl with epilepsy get an aura before. Even though it feels weird, I am glad that I get auras first because it lets me know it’s seizure time. For me, an aura feels like my senses are confused. Blurry peripheral vision, hearing a blob of noise instead of individual sounds and a general feeling of discomfort. Until my sight feels like it’s just a pinpoint black dot. Auras are actually part of the seizure so to say it comes before is misleading. After a seizure is also weird. Jumbled words that don’t make sense and sleep. Lots and lots of sleep. But, like I said, it’s different for everyone who has epilepsy. Good luck with all that, best wishes!
The man in the last story is a freaking legend! Bullshitting his way up to upgrade each ride is proof that he needs a raise at work. And all four were sweet rides. I wouldn't be surprised if they were able to pickup women in those grown-up hot wheels. I dub thee, "The Baller", because it took a lot of balls to pull that pro-gamer move.
Nowadays, maybe not, but back then one of our boys was in a special class run by the Commerce Department in our city that gave the students real world business experience and collage credit while still in high school. One time they went to a conference where Bill Gates was speaking, so of course they were all dressed to the nines. During a break they were at a mall that was close by, and as they were dressed so nice of course they noticed so....they ran with it. One would be the 'customer' and the others the 'entourage'. One of the girls acted like a 'personal assistant'. They got the grand tour of many expensive places, including a special showroom at BOWEZ! Some of them, including our son, were also theater kids so that helped!
Dear Fluff, I developed epilepsy in my mid 40's and I couldn't possibly write about all the Karens and Kens that have done horrible things to me. Most epileptics have different types of seizures. I have grand mals and petit mal seizures. Stress is the worst thing for epileptics. I worked in a factory in the auto industry. People I didn't know and even worse, people I thought were my friends I had worked with over 22 years were spreading rumors and reporting me to the main office Labor relations for being a drunk and or a heroine addict. I told my coworkers and my boss about my epilepsy and had the medical documentation too but it didn't help stop the insanity. I was called a liar and even fired. Being a union worker, the International Union got involved and I was given my job back with all back pay and bonuses. But it didn't last long. Because so many people kept complaining about me, the company put me out on indefinite sick leave claiming I was a danger to myself and others. I have been on early disability retirement now for 6 years and I do not miss all the fear, the stress and horrible accusations I endured daily. I miss working but living a quiet and peaceful life has led to my seizures being less frequent. People can be so cruel and those of us with disabilities that aren't easily seen until an episode happens shouldn't have to wear a bright neon orange t shirt saying EPILEPTIC every day. If people do not know what's happening or how to help or don't want to help then please shut up and mind you own business. Their causing more harm.
The last story... That's a good example of Contextual Social Engineering there!
The teacher story hits pretty close to home. Not because of any teachers, but rather her behaviour. I don't have epilepsy, but I do have seizures caused by a condition known as PNES (psychogenic non-epileptic seizures), and I've been accused of faking during the testing and diagnosis process. I also have a life-threatening allergy and it irks me to no end when I hear people say allergies aren't real.
Ikr escailly allergy because wtf I have sister who could die her allergy and I have mild allergy but still prefer not be sick for days. They are 100% real same with seizures no matter how mild
I have non epileptic seizures myself
Hello my zebra striped friend. Was hoping to find someone else here making this comment. You are much braver than I. I dropped the P a long time ago due to the stigma associated to the psychological component (not denying there's the link I just got tired of the BS and getting subpar care for other things when needed). I just use NES or steal the across the pond's version of NEAD. Because ya know, even the medical establishments don't know how to classify us really. Last guy who told me to stop faking it found himself in hot water when I had an event coming out of anesthesia because you know, totally wanted to be tanking my oxygen levels and disturbing the surgical site with my twitching. Sorry to hear you have a life-threatening allergy to boot. Hope you are one of the people who respond well to the conventional treatments and have the pesky things under control. May your years be seizure free and never need to use your epi-pens.
@@kuroiflyerneko - Better than what they used to call it. The former name for the condition was Pseudo-seizures. Anyway, my condition is controlled, partly with antiseizure medicine, but mainly through stress management. My PNES stems from PTSD and is triggered by heightened stress, extreme anxiety, and fresh trauma. Keeping stress and anxiety under control minimizes symptoms.
@@thesnowyzorua378 - My allergy is to petrol and petroleum derivatives, which are used in a lot of household products including aerosol propellants and powdered detergents. I have to be constantly on guard against exposure. Petrol stations, laundromats and store laundry aisles are high-risk zones. The number of times I've had an anaphylactic episode from mundane tasks, well, it really pisses me off when someone says the thing that could kill me isn't real. Even walking past the end of an aisle with soaps and detergents can make me short of breath. A laundromat is equivalent to a gas chamber. Allergy deniers are disrespectful, ignorant knobheads.
The deer op is freaking awesome I now have a new way of piss off the carens down the road
Story 2: OP isn't a Karen.
As far as the light-up deer orgy goes ... is it kinda vulgar? Yeah. Is it funny? Fuck yes. Should Karen have bitched about it? No. Look at like half the stand-up comedians in the world ... they're usually vulgar and usually pretty funny. It's not like one cancels out the other.
My only issue is that it's a display that children can see. That being said parents can spin that as leapfrog if they are that concerned about it lol.
Are children allowed in a comedy club to hear the vulgar comedian? No. Should parents allow their children to hear or see this? No. Bad parenting if you do. It sickens me to hear parents cussing at their kids. And society just accepts this?
I was once in a Tennessee rest area when the lot security guard told me I could not be parked in the disabled spot without the tag for my mirror. I had a mix of annoyance and amusement as I walked to the back of my town and country to point to the disabled veteran tag complete with the little wheelchair. He was confused and then walked off red in the face. I'm glad he didn't meet a disabled Karen that day.
The Karen accosting the disabled person is high on my list of why I haven’t gotten a disabled parking pass. I’ve seen obvious disabled people being harassed for not being “disabled enough”. My disabilities are invisible and thankfully with treatments and medication I’m able to have productive days. When I have a flare I stay home because I have that option, many don’t.
Story 3: This person was allowed to take care of children! Not just her own, but other people's children as well! Is there such a thing as a restraining order that means she's not allowed within 100 meters of any children in the entire world? Because all children in the world should get one against her.
In the deer story, the OP is not the Karen. OP can have whatever decorations they want and it's not even vulgar. It's not like he put a weiner on the deer. Completely harmless, it could easily just be 2 deer playing. I can picture it now. Karen is in the car with her kids and they burst out laughing and she goes into a rage.
The deer was funny I was laughing without even seeing the photo.
Grand mal and now called tonic clonic.
Story #2: That. Is. Brilliant! I have neighbors in my general neighborhood who do much, much worse for Halloween.👌👌👌
The deer. HA! It’s their home and their decor
My daughter has absent seizures. In a way those are more scary because you don’t know anything is wrong, she literally just blanks out
The OP in the last story is an absolute legend
Third Story: Yeah, that Karen should NEVER be allowed near kids or to have kids. Some people just don't deserve to be parents.
In Sweden, we have our own deer story. A municipality had set up a couple of Christmas goats in a roundabout and some joker had put one on top of the other. It was in the newspaper and soon a couple of toddlers arrived. :)
The last one was funny and it was the 80's where things were crazy but calmly controlled.
Unfortunately we can't replace 80's craziness but what a time it was too.
Second story: Why are people so conflicted on this, thinking OP's the entitled puck? Last time I checked, their yard, their rules, and never asked for the complainer's useless opinion. its like users on DA seeing things they dont like, they for some reason feel so driven to go TOWARDS the thing they dont like and then complain about it to the maker... When the not-stupid reaction is to just go away from it.
I think it's hilarious 😂 (the deer)
Unfortunately for the teacher..she got what she deserves..my son has anaphylaxis to peanuts and my father in law didn't believe it so I NEVER would allow him to keep him.
Story 6: That sounds like the plot to a fun road comedy. Like Ferris Bueller's Day Off meets Catch Me If You Can.
I love the final story. I think it's one of my favourites.
I work as a substitute teacher and in the lesson plan it specifically states what students have issues. This teacher should be immediately fired or at the very least suspended.
Apparently she was fired, so the right thing happened.
2nd Karen would be like: "Broken bones aren't a real thing, you just get more smaller bones!, now grow extra joints and stop complaining!"
5:31 imagne telling the original poster that she's acting entitled on the decorations its her right
Lmao I would put a tarp that read “Santa isn’t real” the next year😂
I hate to use this old analogy from comedian Bill Engvall, that being said the guy with the TV really needs to have a sign.
9:57 Karen made a very common, but very silly and strangely fitting, grammatical error when she said the smell of OP's cooking "made her nauseous". If someone or something is "nauseous", it means they/it make others sick! The correct word for someone suffering from nausea is actually "nauseated"! It unintentionally works in Karen's case, because Karens are nauseous creatures by nature, sickening anyone who has the misfortune of interacting with them!
Re: Christmas lights. I can't stop laughing!!! I can hear my sons saying 'Mom, chill!!! Not EVERYTHING needs to be a teaching moment!) 🙃
Re: Second Story. Kudos to the students/friends who understood the condition, knew what was required, and reported the situation to a responsible adult!!👏
In 1985, I began my junior year of highschool, beaten and battered after a car accident. I had suffered a third degree concussion and broken one leg.... as well as several bones in my skull. Many friends and teachers were very concerned about me and spoke their happiness that I had survived the accident. 9 months later, I finished the school year comatose, after being run over by a truck while riding my pedal bike. --Breaking both legs and various bones in my skull again.... When I finally was released from the hospital, I began my senior year feeling very timid and shy having woken from the coma and having to get used to the "real" world all over. One day, between classes, a teacher of mine from the year before caught up with me.... She explained to me how difficult it was for her to 'teach a classroom of crying students'. I was walking very unsteadily upon a crutch at the time and she put her finger to my chest, pushed me back against the lockers and threatened me: "You do that to me again and I will kill you myself!" She scared me so badly that it left me, on weak legs, shaking feebly against that wall. Now,, had that happened these days.... Just imagine the kind of lawsuit I could have filed against her! 😀
Story 4: like the song says "less they paying your bills pay them b****** no mind". I don't know what made her think she can get them and you pay for half of her apartments renovations or stop cooking in your apartment, but at least she knows now.
Story 4 - It's time for OP to start making curry. Karen should be grateful that OP knows how to cook, I knew someone who waited for milk to boil over before removing it from the stove (this was way back when, before microwaves were common).
