ONLY KAREN HAS SO MANY ADS PER STORY! I was going to go to sleep to this, but twice a story I get a loud political advertisement and will likely unsubscribe if the next KCC compilation is so advert heavy. I listen to your channel for pleasure and so many ads crossed the line into greed.
As an ADHDer I really like those super long videos, cause I tend to need something to stimulate my brain while I do things. It's very helpful not having to look up another video every 20 minutes.
Seconded. These longform videos are a godsend for people like us who get distracted easily but need some sort of consistent background noise to keep those distractions away from our work. I can't tell you how many times the full "Kevin in a Big Rig" saga has gotten me through a rough day when I was about ready to bail on the job.
I often put these on to go to sleep too as well. ADHD also tends to need a little help with that. Gives my brain something to chew on and let's me sleep.
Dude. I am an author. That professor made maybe $20 for his textbook. I have confirmed this with University profs. They don't do it for money, they do it to save having the students buy 10 different books for their class. So it is extremely ethical!!
@@drewskidrewski8945 There is a huge difference between publishing in a peer reviewed journal, and textbook. And trust me, non fiction doesn't sell that well. So profit motives are not an explanation.
I had a prof who wrote the textbook we used in his class. He was an acknowledged expert in his field -- why would he use a book by someone who wasn't at his level?
I wish i could post pics on here so you could see what has been made with your stories on the speaker. The KCC Channel is always on, my wife and I are listening right now while we are burning a portrait on some live edge cypress. I still need to order one of your pens unfinished so I can do some pyography on it. Your turning is top notch as well, that is why we are so big fans of yours.
Shirt Shenanigans: the guy actually kind of shot himself in the foot with making his manager clearly define what reasonable dress code is. All of a sudden nobody can wear fun shirts henceforth because one guy couldn't stomach wearing a business advertisement for one month.
I love you long videos as someone who has ADHD and can't just simply do one thing at a time having this to listen to while I do something else is just what's needed
Thank you for these long video compilations. I'm currently recovering from brain surgery last week and have been putting these on at night to help me sleep. For anyone wanting more info the surgery was for my seizures (temporal lobe epilepsy) and it all went very smoothly and i am recovering well.
1989-Paying in Coins. Made a $228.xx car payment in nickles because the company would not give me a copy of a statement. Actually had to drive 90 minutes to make the payment. I left the coins in the boxes/rolls. Still it was around 48 lbs. Got the statement less than a week later in the mail.
Sometimes being petty Help. My dad Had once a rented Out House, and problems with a fromer tenant. He never registered His new adress and let us sit on the garbage bill. To fight the bill we needed a Statement over the registered Persons. Well the Administration told him, No, you have No right as owner and Landlord to knew it. After some forth and back, he Said Well, then i go to the court and start the proces for a full audit of the House assoicated datas. Suddenly the registered persons were given. If not, several Days of work we're inbounding for them.
School administration is the major problem most teachers have to deal with. Support? No. Admin does 's' teachers and support staff, but the word is not support, but rather ends with a 'w'. 😵💫
2:09:51 honestly one of the reasons I was able to be promoted to manager and why my GM trusts me so much is because I am very good at telling when someone is complaining for legitimate reasons versus just looking for reasons to get a discount.
I once worked in a 'Boiler Room Office', literally! My desk and work area was in a room that shared the heating system for the entire building! At one point, management started to expect me to do maintenance on said heating system, and I even pointed out that the 400Amp service panel was humming loudly. Apparently, the building power use had expanded to 385Amps draw (far above the 70% they should be at), and the company had to pay the utility to go to 600Amps. Got the 'stink eye' from the CFO for a while after that.
The moment when a Karren will not yell for a manager will be the moment you will see snow and ice in the hell. 100 sortes of donuts - and she MUST have the special donut - 🙄🙄🙄
About the service dog. If this happened in the USA the dog can be off leash as long as it's voice controlled. The reason for this is if the disability it's not easy to hold a leash or if the leash interferes with the dogs ability to do it's job. Example during a seizure my dog's leash can hurt her & I both. So she doesn't have to be on a leash.
@@thegamerdragolf5332 that's cool. My in training service dog litterly save my life a few months ago. I was sleeping. When I awoke to a dog's front paws pounding as hard as she could into my chest. I sometimes stop breathing when I sleep. It's why I'm on oxygen at night. She wouldn't stop until I spoke to her. My only guess of why she'd do that was I had stopped breathing for longer than I normally do. Once I spoke she gave me this don't you dare scare me like that again mom look. Then as if to say do you understand me? She slammed her nose into mine & gave me the try me look lol.
I used to work as a foreman gardener for what you would call an HOA. Whilst cutting one lawn, a front door opened and a dog on an extending leash walked out, across the path and crapped on the lawn, then turned around and went back in and door shut. I went and scooped up the doggy donation and placed it on the front door step and carried on mowing the lawn. I parked up mower and waited, behind a hedge. The lady of the house exited a few minutes later and trod straight in it. It was all i could do not to laugh out loud as she shreiked at her dog. This was in England in 1978.
I used to drive truck for a living, and one of the companies I drove for insisted that we use their "optimized fueling" setup, especially the new dispatcher I had been assigned. I knew it was a horrible idea, but decided to use it to show my dispatcher how bad it could get because he harped on me for nearly a month straight about not using it. I ran out of fuel 4 times in one week in the middle of winter, one time waiting 12 hours for the first available service vehicle in the dead of night in NY state with outdoor temperatures reaching -25°F overnight (luckily it wasn't my first rodeo and I had the right supplies to stay comfortable and warm). My dispatcher was surprised I didn't need medical services and told me to simply fuel as much as I felt I needed from them on, he got a write up and a couple of unpaid days off and new training.
Another unrelated item of interest: I worked for an independent contractor that fired me (literally because I refused to break the law for them) while trying to consider me an independent contractor for their company, but I won the unemployment case. I had hooked up their home entertainment system (labeling everything for easy reconnecting) that their electrician father couldn't figure out for some reason. They contacted me a year after firing me to ask me to hook up, for $100, a new system they purchased. To which I replied with a quote for three times the amount offered and they politely refused.
Story 13, when I heard him say Sturgeon Bay, I got really excited. I’m from Wisconsin and very few Reddit stories are from my state (that actually tells the location)
The only jobs that will be safe if we go into a major depression will be clerking in a tobacco or liquor store. People are going to do whatever they have to to get their smokes and booze, even make their kids go hungry!
Maybe you should be appropriately dressed whet you go out to let your dog out. You can get up to let your dog out but you take HOURS to pick up after it? You're in the wrong.
Paying a bill in pennies: They were withdrawn from circulation in 2013, existing coinage remains legal. Banks could not provide such a quantity after Feb 4, 2013. BTW, Canada used a copper alloy, unlike the USA where they are Copper plated Zinc, and the metal value FAR exceeded the face value.
This is probably the third or fourth time I’ve listened to this compilation… but for the professor using his own textbook… I had a professor do that, but she did it to have an affordable textbook to the students. She made basically nothing off of it and had it be a super cheap quality. I think it was maybe $50 vs the $200+ of other textbooks. She hated how expensive books were and she thought it was ridiculous
My wife worked in the west valley as a special ed teacher for 1/4 of the salary that IL paid her. I persuaded her to be a STAH wife after a student tried to kill her, and the next day did kill her successor. (Dead Teachers don't make the Phoenix news.) I worked with violent felons and made 3 times her pay. She is dead, due to poor medical care, and I hate AZ. I can't leave for another year. If you are a teacher, GET OUT of AZ. Teachers in Arizona are lucky to get out alive.
Deleting the Kernal files from your System32 folder is at least less nasty than instructing them to reformat their C Drive. At least once they get the OS fixed, they didn't lose the entire contents of their C drive.
For some reason I'm reminded, not of a story of malicious compliance, but just of, company incompetence. I had to get internet get up in a place, and, it just wasn't working. Called the provider who sent a technician, late, very late. Of course waited all day for them. Too late to fix the problem, but they identified it. So, the next day we had two guys roll up, not from the company, but contracted by them. They spent hours trying to even figure out what the problem was before... realising what we kept telling them. We needed, the company, not them. Something about a big box out on the street they didn't even have keys or the authority to touch. Anouther day wasted by the time they called to reinform what should have been clear from the first guy. Then a few more days till we get someone. You wonder why companies can't realise how important communication is.
1:06:10 not malicious compliance but reminded me of a funny story from when I was pregnant with my daughter. I was doing competitive swimming while pregnant, I was 24 at the time but my siblings were still under 18, so my parents were involved with the swim board for our province. Anyways I was 7.5 months pregnant at our provincial meet and had been cleared by my physician to swim competitively as it was good for me and the baby and something I had done for a long time prior to being pregnant. Well, some Karen from another region didn’t like that I was swimming while pregnant and actually went and yelled at my dad for being so irresponsible and allowing me to swim when I was pregnant. My dad actually laughed at her and told the Karen, “she’s 24 years old, whether she swims or not is up to her and the medical aspect of it is between her and her doctor and is none of my business,” and then he walked away. My dad told me about it in front of another one of my teammates who was actually a doctor who previously practiced family medicine before going into general surgery and actually confirmed to my dad that swimming when I was having a normal pregnancy was healthy for me and the baby. The swimming must not have affected my daughter because I delivered her 6 weeks later and she was perfectly healthy and is now a happy and healthy 5 year old.
Story 29. HR Karen who forced dress code with wool clothings. OP said she tied her knockers in a knot and went to seniors. That explain how she got the job, and got her way out.
Having been traveling the world in the 1980s, I can name 20 to 30 different nations that'd be paying $13 an hour to 13 year olds. All of them so poor/overinflated economy that $13.00 would be equivalent to 1980s $5.15 Minimum Wage.
My father a man that wore suits to work. A doctor of veterinary medicine and a doctor of epidemiology when hassled repeatedly about a hat that he wore during the winter had this to say. yes Ron I have two of them want to shite in and wanted to cover it up. I come by my civil disobedience genetically.😅
About the insurance post. I really understand how they feel. I have a mobile power chair a while back the charger went out. So I called the provider who brought the chair to me. They said they would not take payment from my insurance company for the charger. That it would cost $125.00. Now I understand that to most people that is not a lot of money but for me it was like $1,000.00. So I couldn’t afford it. I’m on disability for the past 15 years due to complications from cancer surgery. I called the insurance company and they would not pay for it but they would pay for a new chair. But the government will only pay for one every five years and i had only had it for three years. So I was up a creek with out a paddle. I told my youngest brother (I have 4 brothers) he had a power chair he no longer uses and let me have his. That was in 2021 last year. If it had not been for him I still would not have a working chair. God is always good to me. :-)
My only malicious compliance story just made me more jaded. I worked tech support for sprintPCS via contract company like 20 years ago. They had these one-size fits all call metrics they insist everyone meet, by far the most important of which was AHT, or Average Handle Time. It had to be under 11 minutes, meaning the average amount of time you spend per incoming call. This was easy for customer service because 9 times out of 10 all they needed to do was get the number, pull up the account, try to sell them something, and then send them to me. They're supposed to warm transfer and give me the number and let me pull up the account so I don't have to ask the customer all the same questions, but they almost never did because we had no way of tracking who sent the call to us. Solving a technical issue, almost any technical issue, takes far longer. It was literally impossible to take most of these calls in less than 11 minutes. I told them I can do it fast or I can do it right. The customers aren't gonna give a flowery fuck if it takes a while, they're going to care if it works. But the company I worked for made it clear the caller was not our customer. SprintPCS was. And they want it fast. So I started blitzing thru the calls and taking any excuse I could to get off the phone, thinking they'd get so many complaints, they'd beg me to start fixing shit again. They gave me an award.
Many of these work stories sound like they come from people who wish to become unemployed. Either that, or they are fake. I am inclined to believe the latter. Also, it is completely unacceptable to expect someone to turn over an id, credit card, etc. without securing it. Identity theft is a real thing.
in this compilation, story 37, as soon as was mentioned, big orange rigs i knew it was Schneider national my father used to drive for them (the big orange skateboards) lol ... i know that any truck drivers would understand that last part ... lol
Best story of title change rather than raise, is Will Wheaton on Star Trek the Next Generation, he wanted a raise going into a new season, producers countered with no more money but his character got a promotion, didn't fly, it was pointed out that they are NOT actually Star Fleet, its a tv show... lmfao
My dad used to work tech at a staples. He was the only tech in the store, and somehow became the best tech selling store in the district. Theu gave him a $0.04 raise that quarter. 4 pennies an hour raise.
Even in America there is no federal statute mandating that a private business, a person, or an organization must accept currency or coins as payment for goods or services. Private businesses are free to develop their own policies on whether to accept cash unless their particular state has a law that says otherwise.
58:50 The courtesy clerk deserved reprimand, I don’t even understand how that’s malicious compliance, that’s just a kid being a dickhead to authority or quote “a great boss”
Back in the early 80’s my parents collected $300 ish in Pennie’s to buy this old dodge truck. The guy loved Pennie’s. He laughed and accepted it. Back then my parents were taking metals copper, aluminum and steel to scrap yards and they said $300 in Pennie’s was worth $450 on the copper market but because Pennie’s were still money the scrap yards would not accept it.
20:18:31 he said almost rhymes and technically if it were used in a couplet with staples and maple syrup somewhere in the middle it would (technically) qualify as internal rhyme, where the rhyme comes from the center of the word.
I see your 14 years for a tech to come out and raise you a tech coming out when you're on the toilet knock once then go, "They tried, no one came to the door!" when you call back and ask why the tech hasn't showed up yet. I live in apartment building, so unless you knock multiple times I will assume it's for a neighbor and not risk the UTI for rushing to check the door, plus stranger danger and all that!
In Denmark you do not have 24 months full warranty. You have 24 months right of complaint. Case law has established that only after 6 months can you claim a manufacturing defect enabling you to get a whole new product or void the purchase (what I would consider full warranty). After that you can claim free repairs for the next 18 months if you can prove that the product has been used as would be expected (giving 24 months of free repairs). So in essence a product sold in Denmark must be able to function as expected for the first 24 months after purchase, otherwise you can claim free repairs.
I always found American and to an extent Canadian manufacturer warranty situation funny. In EU you get consumer protection legislation or Consumer Law, that essentially states that if you buy a product, manufacturing defects should be covered eother by the manufacturer or the seller. This legislation overrides the manufacturer warranty and provides you with a minimum of 2 years, in some countries 3 and in some other cases more (Finland has a lifetime Consumer protection).
Dog should be leashed, attached to something, or inside an enclosed area? Uh, no. City dwellers need to learn dogs should roam a bit when they go out and come home. If you don't like dog crap in your yard, live in an HOA nightmare area with a no dogs rule or fence YOUR yard in. In the country, we know our neighbors dogs, they come over if they hear or see us outside to say hello, get some pets then go back home. You don't just be neighborly with the people, you be a good neighbor to their whole family.
And E4 at 30. ?.... They would not tell you do not carry your phone with you.... The rule is You are not on your phone in transit... The same as you do not smoke a cigarette In transit... That means while you're walking... That story was Ridiculous.... US navy dependent over half my life.. This grandma says much love
As a manager myself the guy with the shirt. Yes first 2 times is funny like you said after the 4th I'd tell him you're actions are going to get us both trouble please knock it off I understand your disdain but corporate is law and we must obey it.
Movie theaters must be pretty easy to embezzle. I worked @ movie theater in the late 1980's and that appeared to be a chronic problem. A very beloved manager worked @that theater for over a decade (long before I worked there, but I still heard about him). The theater was profitable so it wasn't until he became suddenly I'll that it was discovered that he had been embezzling all along. The idiot manager I had was suddenly found to have continued the "tradition" when his female assistant manager (who, quite frankly, did most of the real work) was suddenly promoted to being the manager of her own theater (the first woman to break that company's management glass ceiling) and that promted an automatic audit.
Last story - Orange loving trucking company. This company is not forgiving no understanding. 1 accident and you are gone no matter who is at fault. I know this as my friend (may he R.I.P.) did have an accident but with weather related influence and unfamiliarity with the area. Still think the driver of the other vehicle was at least as responsible.
The Coin Limit Law isn't always enforced, but if you find yourself with a crap-load of coins, the best way to use a lot of them at a Business is to bring them already rolled...the Business is more likely to accept the rolls of coins because they can quickly count the coins if they're already rolled because they just need to count the rolls and multiply by the value of the roll ($0.50 in the case of a roll of pennies for example)...
Heya! I've managed a few retail locations in my day and always had a policy that coin rolls needed to be broken open and counted if a customer used them to pay. We've found metal washers, arcade tokens and other valueless things in the middle of rolls. Never trust that a roll is complete.
I always check my change for coins with high silver or copper content, as they are worth more than stated value. Some pennies can be worth $5 (USD) depending upon year.
Good stories but I really don't wanna hear your commentaries after each one, if you just moved onto each new story after finishing one, that'd be great, thanks 😄❤️
If you ever need to see if your digital scale is operating correctly at the hundredths level, set it to gramm, set 2 decimal points, place penny and check for the known weight of the penny (differences in currencies, so look up the actual weight of your penny).
License number story.... People look at me like I have 3 heads when i have to give my d license number... from memory... they demand to see the license and laugh when they see I was right
I was getting paid up to $14.00 per hour in the 1980's ........ Australia. that was back when we had a 40 hour week and not the 36 hour week we have now.
Banks can take the pennies thing even farther now.. most banks ive been to wont take over $25 in coin in any way other than on consignment.. meaning you dont get paid for it until they actually send it to someone else
About the lady in the BMW if that was an Edmonton Alberta in Canada those probably my old property manager lol I mean Jesus that woman she damn near killed herself three times just because there's someone going slow and I still laugh at her

Story 8 with the repair - it was prob short due to being from Amazon. A lot of sellers only give a 1 month warranty unless you buy an extended one.
31:52 I agree with what you said, but also on most vaccums the hose that sucks the dirt into the bag or chamber detaches so you can use to get cobwebs
The comps in the last story is also very strict. 1 accident and the driver is fired.
This includes accidents that are not their fault.
In Germany it's 2 Years Garantie, but you have to proof you didn't trash it after 6 Months
The shirt one wasn’t malicious compliance. That’s just OP being a butt. Being asked to where the company shirt wasn’t evil or abusive.

Paying a bill in pennies: They were withdrawn from circulation in 2013, existing coinage remains legal. Banks could not provide such a quantity after Feb 4, 2013. BTW, Canada used a copper alloy, unlike the USA where they are Copper plated Zinc, and the metal value FAR exceeded the face value.
This is probably the third or fourth time I’ve listened to this compilation… but for the professor using his own textbook… I had a professor do that, but she did it to have an affordable textbook to the students. She made basically nothing off of it and had it be a super cheap quality. I think it was maybe $50 vs the $200+ of other textbooks. She hated how expensive books were and she thought it was ridiculous
My wife worked in the west valley as a special ed teacher for 1/4 of the salary that IL paid her. I persuaded her to be a STAH wife after a student tried to kill her, and the next day did kill her successor. (Dead Teachers don't make the Phoenix news.) I worked with violent felons and made 3 times her pay. She is dead, due to poor medical care, and I hate AZ. I can't leave for another year. If you are a teacher, GET OUT of AZ. Teachers in Arizona are lucky to get out alive.
Wow, that's crazy.
Most likely a typo, it would have been more normal for a kid in the ‘80’s to make $3/hour.
Deleting the Kernal files from your System32 folder is at least less nasty than instructing them to reformat their C Drive. At least once they get the OS fixed, they didn't lose the entire contents of their C drive.
For some reason I'm reminded, not of a story of malicious compliance, but just of, company incompetence. I had to get internet get up in a place, and, it just wasn't working. Called the provider who sent a technician, late, very late. Of course waited all day for them. Too late to fix the problem, but they identified it. So, the next day we had two guys roll up, not from the company, but contracted by them. They spent hours trying to even figure out what the problem was before... realising what we kept telling them. We needed, the company, not them. Something about a big box out on the street they didn't even have keys or the authority to touch. Anouther day wasted by the time they called to reinform what should have been clear from the first guy. Then a few more days till we get someone. You wonder why companies can't realise how important communication is.
1:06:10 not malicious compliance but reminded me of a funny story from when I was pregnant with my daughter. I was doing competitive swimming while pregnant, I was 24 at the time but my siblings were still under 18, so my parents were involved with the swim board for our province. Anyways I was 7.5 months pregnant at our provincial meet and had been cleared by my physician to swim competitively as it was good for me and the baby and something I had done for a long time prior to being pregnant. Well, some Karen from another region didn’t like that I was swimming while pregnant and actually went and yelled at my dad for being so irresponsible and allowing me to swim when I was pregnant. My dad actually laughed at her and told the Karen, “she’s 24 years old, whether she swims or not is up to her and the medical aspect of it is between her and her doctor and is none of my business,” and then he walked away. My dad told me about it in front of another one of my teammates who was actually a doctor who previously practiced family medicine before going into general surgery and actually confirmed to my dad that swimming when I was having a normal pregnancy was healthy for me and the baby. The swimming must not have affected my daughter because I delivered her 6 weeks later and she was perfectly healthy and is now a happy and healthy 5 year old.
“Naval Surplus"=“Maple Syrup”
Story 29. HR Karen who forced dress code with wool clothings. OP said she tied her knockers in a knot and went to seniors. That explain how she got the job, and got her way out.
Having been traveling the world in the 1980s, I can name 20 to 30 different nations that'd be paying $13 an hour to 13 year olds. All of them so poor/overinflated economy that $13.00 would be equivalent to 1980s $5.15 Minimum Wage.
My father a man that wore suits to work. A doctor of veterinary medicine and a doctor of epidemiology when hassled repeatedly about a hat that he wore during the winter had this to say.
yes Ron I have two of them want to shite in and wanted to cover it up. I come by my civil disobedience genetically.😅
About the insurance post. I really understand how they feel. I have a mobile power chair a while back the charger went out. So I called the provider who brought the chair to me. They said they would not take payment from my insurance company for the charger. That it would cost $125.00. Now I understand that to most people that is not a lot of money but for me it was like $1,000.00. So I couldn’t afford it. I’m on disability for the past 15 years due to complications from cancer surgery. I called the insurance company and they would not pay for it but they would pay for a new chair. But the government will only pay for one every five years and i had only had it for three years. So I was up a creek with out a paddle. I told my youngest brother (I have 4 brothers) he had a power chair he no longer uses and let me have his. That was in 2021 last year. If it had not been for him I still would not have a working chair. God is always good to me. :-)
My only malicious compliance story just made me more jaded. I worked tech support for sprintPCS via contract company like 20 years ago. They had these one-size fits all call metrics they insist everyone meet, by far the most important of which was AHT, or Average Handle Time. It had to be under 11 minutes, meaning the average amount of time you spend per incoming call. This was easy for customer service because 9 times out of 10 all they needed to do was get the number, pull up the account, try to sell them something, and then send them to me. They're supposed to warm transfer and give me the number and let me pull up the account so I don't have to ask the customer all the same questions, but they almost never did because we had no way of tracking who sent the call to us. Solving a technical issue, almost any technical issue, takes far longer. It was literally impossible to take most of these calls in less than 11 minutes. I told them I can do it fast or I can do it right. The customers aren't gonna give a flowery fuck if it takes a while, they're going to care if it works. But the company I worked for made it clear the caller was not our customer. SprintPCS was. And they want it fast. So I started blitzing thru the calls and taking any excuse I could to get off the phone, thinking they'd get so many complaints, they'd beg me to start fixing shit again.
They gave me an award.
Many of these work stories sound like they come from people who wish to become unemployed. Either that, or they are fake. I am inclined to believe the latter.
Also, it is completely unacceptable to expect someone to turn over an id, credit card, etc. without securing it. Identity theft is a real thing.
in this compilation, story 37, as soon as was mentioned, big orange rigs i knew it was Schneider national my father used to drive for them (the big orange skateboards) lol ... i know that any truck drivers would understand that last part ... lol
Best story of title change rather than raise, is Will Wheaton on Star Trek the Next Generation, he wanted a raise going into a new season, producers countered with no more money but his character got a promotion, didn't fly, it was pointed out that they are NOT actually Star Fleet, its a tv show... lmfao
My dad used to work tech at a staples. He was the only tech in the store, and somehow became the best tech selling store in the district. Theu gave him a $0.04 raise that quarter. 4 pennies an hour raise.
Most cities and counties have a must be moved in 48 hours ordinance.
Even in America there is no federal statute mandating that a private business, a person, or an organization must accept currency or coins as payment for goods or services. Private businesses are free to develop their own policies on whether to accept cash unless their particular state has a law that says otherwise.
College/university food services have to have odd start/end times so students can work between classes.

The courtesy clerk deserved reprimand, I don’t even understand how that’s malicious compliance, that’s just a kid being a dickhead to authority or quote “a great boss”
I can't hear any sound, can anyone else?
I Can’t even get it to play.
No sound
So weird, I'm getting audio on PC but not on mobile....
I thought it was my digital ineptitude!
Have sound on mobile
Back in the early 80’s my parents collected $300 ish in Pennie’s to buy this old dodge truck. The guy loved Pennie’s. He laughed and accepted it. Back then my parents were taking metals copper, aluminum and steel to scrap yards and they said $300 in Pennie’s was worth $450 on the copper market but because Pennie’s were still money the scrap yards would not accept it.
Maple Syrup rhymes with Office Depot, probably.
20:18:31 he said almost rhymes and technically if it were used in a couplet with staples and maple syrup somewhere in the middle it would (technically) qualify as internal rhyme, where the rhyme comes from the center of the word.
How about “Naval Surplus”
Story 27: Maybe that $13/hour was not dollars but some other currency.
In New Zealand I was being in paid time and a half on a Saturday so it's possible
It doesn't exist now
I see your 14 years for a tech to come out and raise you a tech coming out when you're on the toilet knock once then go, "They tried, no one came to the door!" when you call back and ask why the tech hasn't showed up yet.
I live in apartment building, so unless you knock multiple times I will assume it's for a neighbor and not risk the UTI for rushing to check the door, plus stranger danger and all that!
In Denmark you do not have 24 months full warranty. You have 24 months right of complaint.
Case law has established that only after 6 months can you claim a manufacturing defect enabling you to get a whole new product or void the purchase (what I would consider full warranty).
After that you can claim free repairs for the next 18 months if you can prove that the product has been used as would be expected (giving 24 months of free repairs).
So in essence a product sold in Denmark must be able to function as expected for the first 24 months after purchase, otherwise you can claim free repairs.
It's better then 1 professor I had who did the same thing but didn't use the textbook
I the US you can pay however you want. Refusal to accept payment erases the debt.
I always found American and to an extent Canadian manufacturer warranty situation funny. In EU you get consumer protection legislation or Consumer Law, that essentially states that if you buy a product, manufacturing defects should be covered eother by the manufacturer or the seller. This legislation overrides the manufacturer warranty and provides you with a minimum of 2 years, in some countries 3 and in some other cases more (Finland has a lifetime Consumer protection).
Dog should be leashed, attached to something, or inside an enclosed area? Uh, no. City dwellers need to learn dogs should roam a bit when they go out and come home. If you don't like dog crap in your yard, live in an HOA nightmare area with a no dogs rule or fence YOUR yard in. In the country, we know our neighbors dogs, they come over if they hear or see us outside to say hello, get some pets then go back home. You don't just be neighborly with the people, you be a good neighbor to their whole family.
And E4 at 30. ?.... They would not tell you do not carry your phone with you.... The rule is You are not on your phone in transit... The same as you do not smoke a cigarette In transit... That means while you're walking... That story was Ridiculous.... US navy dependent over half my life.. This grandma says much love
Re: ethics/textbook..It’s standard!
The limits on change payments in canada are par with the roll of coin value
Anyone tell you that you and r/slash have almost identical voices
'scuse me while I go get vocal cord surgery...
As a manager myself the guy with the shirt. Yes first 2 times is funny like you said after the 4th I'd tell him you're actions are going to get us both trouble please knock it off I understand your disdain but corporate is law and we must obey it.
Story 28. You mentioned a link to the comment for the bmw post. Where is it?
Movie theaters must be pretty easy to embezzle. I worked @ movie theater in the late 1980's and that appeared to be a chronic problem. A very beloved manager worked @that theater for over a decade (long before I worked there, but I still heard about him). The theater was profitable so it wasn't until he became suddenly I'll that it was discovered that he had been embezzling all along. The idiot manager I had was suddenly found to have continued the "tradition" when his female assistant manager (who, quite frankly, did most of the real work) was suddenly promoted to being the manager of her own theater (the first woman to break that company's management glass ceiling) and that promted an automatic audit.
Stipend is pronounced sty pend. I promise I'm not a grammar natzi
I use these for sleeping
No. Requiring a book you profit from is capitalism. There are no ethics there.
That and this are separate entities.
1:50:51Where is the link to the bmw driver story?
Last story - Orange loving trucking company.
This company is not forgiving no understanding.
1 accident and you are gone no matter who is at fault.
I know this as my friend (may he R.I.P.) did have an accident but with weather related influence and unfamiliarity with the area. Still think the driver of the other vehicle was at least as responsible.
Work? Yep
Driving? Nope as I ain’t got a license.
Heck of a lot of time? Yep I work part time so time is something I have in spades.
Stealing this line: "Ignorance can be educated, crazy can be medicated, but there's just no cure for stupid."
The Coin Limit Law isn't always enforced, but if you find yourself with a crap-load of coins, the best way to use a lot of them at a Business is to bring them already rolled...the Business is more likely to accept the rolls of coins because they can quickly count the coins if they're already rolled because they just need to count the rolls and multiply by the value of the roll ($0.50 in the case of a roll of pennies for example)...
Heya! I've managed a few retail locations in my day and always had a policy that coin rolls needed to be broken open and counted if a customer used them to pay. We've found metal washers, arcade tokens and other valueless things in the middle of rolls. Never trust that a roll is complete.
I always check my change for coins with high silver or copper content, as they are worth more than stated value. Some pennies can be worth $5 (USD) depending upon year.
I live in some apartments that were built in the 70s. And they only have one internet provider, and of course it's the most expensive one
Look. The “petite” four is kinda getting under my skin
Good stories but I really don't wanna hear your commentaries after each one, if you just moved onto each new story after finishing one, that'd be great, thanks 😄❤️
Plenty of channels out there to choose from. Feel free to find another that suits you!
Story 28: where is the link you said youd post? :(
Story 15 RWBY is pronounced RUBY and I wonder if it was my friends story 😂
Oo hello channel ive never seen before
If you ever need to see if your digital scale is operating correctly at the hundredths level, set it to gramm, set 2 decimal points, place penny and check for the known weight of the penny (differences in currencies, so look up the actual weight of your penny).
License number story.... People look at me like I have 3 heads when i have to give my d license number... from memory... they demand to see the license and laugh when they see I was right
KCC, RWBY is pronounced "ruby"
Is there a time where theres no new stories like a dry season
I was getting paid up to $14.00 per hour in the 1980's ........ Australia. that was back when we had a 40 hour week and not the 36 hour week we have now.
I've be subscribed for a long time already, so Karen is never going to win hehehe
Damn, I just listened to my 80's music playlist (don't ask) and just now realized your named similar to a Culture Club song. I feel really dumb.
Intentional 😉
Banks can take the pennies thing even farther now.. most banks ive been to wont take over $25 in coin in any way other than on consignment.. meaning you dont get paid for it until they actually send it to someone else
About the lady in the BMW if that was an Edmonton Alberta in Canada those probably my old property manager lol I mean Jesus that woman she damn near killed herself three times just because there's someone going slow and I still laugh at her
Good evening
I may have the answer. Petit fours are from france. I wonder if that was 13 francs in the late 80s. Translation
1:49:57 No there isn't a link below for any of the OP's? 😭
