I was driving my disabled dad around recently, using his placard. Someone next to me started bitching cause I got out of the car just fine. I completely ignored him. My dad was coming around from the back seat passenger side. His legs don't work well, but his ears and mouth are fine. He laid into the stranger so bad, he couldn't get a word in, turned red, and just walked away.
Story 6: As someone who is disabled (non-visible unless walking) I was told "You don't look disabled" I responded with "Well you don't 'look' stupid..." and hobbled my ass away.
I'm in a Wheelchair so I'm clearly disabled, but maybe to someone like an Entitled person, I "must" be faking it. But, thankfully I haven't encountered anyone like that.
Wedding story: my female pal had no interest in marriage. She went into the business track instead. She was very successful. In her mid 30’s she met a man who was much like her. Much to her surprise they started dating. They truly hit off. They decided to get married. His family was shocked at the news. It took time to convince them that it was not a prank. Then they were over the moon in happiness. Then they went to her parents. Her father was fighting back tears of joy. Her Mom stood up, left the room & returned with a thick wedding planning binder. Mom then told the just engaged couple what the marriage & the reception would be like. The Couple looked at each other & said “No”. Mom was very displeased & told her daughter & fiancé not to expect any money for the Wedding. My friends had a combined was near 7 figure income. The engaged couple then said “Ok”. Mom then played her trump card…that neither she or her husband could come to such a wedding. My friend turned to her father & asked who would take her down the aisle? Would there be no Father-Daughter dance? Father said he was coming even if it was stag. Mom left the room. The Couple ran corporations. They put the wedding together in record time. After everything was password protected & locked in stone my friend reached out to her Mother for assistance in small things. Mom helped & at the reception she tried to claim that everything was done under her supervision. The newly married couple & most their friends/family just rolled their eyes & let it go.
Story 2 - I’m a cake decorator myself and I’ve done my share of wedding cakes. There’s absolutely no way in Hell anyone, not even a beginner apprentice, would make a wedding cake like that for $50! And I think OP’s price estimate for this delusional bride was fair if not cheap.
She is definitely delusional! I’ve spent more than $50 on custom birthday cakes for only 20-25 people. A whole wedding cake, even without the decorations and cake stand, is going to be way more. I wish there was some way to get updates from other bakers and her reaction to being told repeatedly that she’s delusional.
Story 2: Wedding cake for 50 cost around 350-400 for the standard cake design and that before addition customization opinion. That woman was delusion thinking she can get a custom cake for 50 dollar.
I can’t get any cake that feeds fifty people for fifty bucks. I normally spend 300 for a tiered birthday cake that feeds 35 to 50. We have a lot of parties here.
Story 3: oh goodie, another post where OP is the scapegoat and their sibling is the golden child who can do no wrong. There's a post where OP's golden brother dies of organ failure and OP doesn't save him and his parents where upset and say "how could you do this to your own brother?" To which OP said "my brother died when I was kicked out at 14"
One of my dear friends was kicked out of her house when she was 12 or 13, and my parents took her in when they saw her shivering outside the (closed for the night) bus depot. With one thing and another they got her to a distant relative’s house, who sued for custody. That took years to settle, and two days after it was settled (and she was something like 16 and a half) the winner of the custody battle was run down and killed. It would have been ruled as a traffic accident, except that, apparently on the way home, there was a voice message on her cell phone saying that “now that your new mother is dead, you have to come home now.” That and the damage to their car from the now dead new mother and the other forensic details got her to be an emancipated child status, her birth dad in jail. 30 years later, they got in touch and were demanding bone marrow to save their other child. Not asking, demanding. So, yes, I understand the “no, you all are not related to me, my family all died when I was 16 and a half, I will not be sacrificing anything for any of you.”
@@llyallowyn8127 yeah, she got out of an abusive family mostly in one piece, but it was touch and go for a while. Her father was a big man, excused in high school, because, as a football player “boys will be boys”, and then later as a salesman, “well, it doesn’t really matter, he closes the deals, right?” Type of person. Until he did go to jail. I was able to get her a job in my company, that suited her time for school, and still earned her enough that she could manage a room-share with some other single folks at my company. I lost track of her when she went off to university, but she got back in touch after graduation, to ask for a work recommendation for her new job, and we stayed in touch since. I kind-of feel older sibling toward her, although my late wife was more mother than sister-in-law toward her, at times. She ate with my family or at my parents house about once a week (more or less) as an emancipated teen, mostly because we treated her like the adult she wanted to be seen as, rather than some child, pretending. Sometimes she even spent holidays with us, but mostly, actually, enjoyed the quiet in the shared house where she lived, during holidays, because everyone else was gone. Young lady had it rough, but the woman she is now is a wonderful person.
I remember a case presented at a Children's Miracle Network telethon where a young man came into the"booth" to be interviewed due to a strange cast that he had, and, in the middle of the interview, he disclosed that he suffered a *stroke* the first day of school. He was FIVE when he had his stroke! Another case (different Children's Miracle Network telethon) a woman was being interviewed after she saw her daughter who was dying. Turns out that the daughter had Tay-Sachs, but neither parent had a family history of that disease as far as they knew. All the parents could do was make her comfortable as they could and watch their little girl die.
*Story 6:* I would have been really tempted to just respond with "well, what does a handicapped person look like, then?" Just keep asking more detailed questions and let her dig herself deeper and deeper. "Wait, so you're saying that all a handicapped person has to do is dye their hair green, and suddenly they won't be handicapped anymore? Does the medical community know about this? Please tell me more!" etc.
For the wedding cake story: Another tidbit I noticed. She asked for BABY'S BREATH on her cake. You can't put real baby's breath on cakes because it's poisonous.😐 So ALSO good luck trying to find a bakery willing to poison their customers.🤣 And hopefully she doesn't go to lengths to buy some and put it on a cake herself.
Many yrs ago, someone I know split from his wife. She drained their joint account then told the court and everyone else that it was her ex who had drained the account. What she wasn’t thinking about was this was in the day of bank books and the bank had her signature on the closing of the account.🤦♀️
Story 1 - I was expecting the old lady to tell OP to mow her lawn when he was finished with his, like he was a yard worker for hire or something, not suddenly take his mower like he was giving it away and because she ‘needed’ it! OP better look into getting Ring/Security cameras installed around his house and a few more locks for his shed/garage.
I had a guy commission a Spartan spear head from my blacksmith shop. I wanted a challenge, so I got started forging it while waiting for him to get back to me. When I told him $250 without a shaft and $300 with a shaft, he sent me an alibaba post for one that was $20 😂😂😂 I told him he should buy that one if he wanted pot metal trash, and he said he was trying to 'support local businesses' 😂😂😂 $20 wouldn't cover propane and steel costs and I mostly use scrap steel and get it for next to free 😂
I had a guy come to me asking me to forge him a custom machete for him to do brushing and trail maintenance with. I listened to what he wanted and looked at the sketch he had brought with him and told him the price. Like the guy who contacted you, this guy thought I should do it for $20 and could not comprehend why I told him no. He continued trying to get me to do it for $20 until I told him to leave because I was not going to pay him for the privilege of making it for him because the steal and the coal for my forge would cost him more than $20. I no longer do any blacksmithing due to health reasons and I still see that guy around from time to time and he still tells me he wishes I would have forged him a machete because ones in stores are so expensive and aren't as good of quality as what I used to make.
FYI.... BABY'S BREATH IS TOXIC/POISONOUS! You should NEVER use it to decorate food with! So that lady was not only delusional to want that big and detailed of a cake for $50, she was also stupid for wanting to use a toxic plant as decoration!
Just about all plants are toxic or poisonous in some form. One of my fellow EMTs had a call once for a guy that attempted to consume mistletoe berries around christmas. From what I heard that wasn't a fun time for the patient
That agent needs to be fired for allowing Karen to board the plane after assaulting op, because that is illegal on what Karen did especially in the airport.
I agree with the end of story number eight. If you're doing illegal activities , don't draw attention. I'm constantly amazed at people that get pulled over for speeding, broken taillights or headlights or driving irradically and are found to have kilos of illicit substances stashed somewhere in the car. It never fails to make me giggle.
I've watched several fly-on-the-wall cop shows and a lot of drug runners speed and evade the cops. It never ends well for them for even if they do get away, the cops can track their number plate to the address.
So true. Unfortunately if they're using hard drugs, their judgment is probably impaired, potentially severely. It's good to try to remember that while they have all the appearance of idiots (and behave like idiots), they are often victims of circumstance, addiction, or other mental health issues. Still funny, but funny in a black humor sort of way.
I have Fibromyalgia and Psoriatic Arthritis. Not only have my doctors and the state deemed me disabled, the FEDERAL GOVERNMENT has decided I'm disabled. I have a permanent placard. I see non-disabled people park in disabled parking all the time.
Same boat, but Fibromyalgia and MS. I have plates on our van. My 68 year old husband has to load my behemoth of a wheelchair (electric) off a 4-part 10 ft ramp that I can't move. He's barely doing it now. I can walk small distances and can't stand for long. I use a cane in the house and I have a walker for short trips. And due to the lack of exercise (fall risk) and the medications (10 and counting), I'm heavy. I've been told to take my fat ass out of that chair and walk so I can get skinny so some man might want to date me. He says this just as my husband of 31 years comes up behind him. My husband does not suffer stupid very well and told the guy where to get off the planet. Oh, and I love wearing different hair colors at times. Been teal, purple, pink, and a nice emerald green. Yeah, Granny (of 9 grandkids) had wild color hair, rides a fast wheelchair, and loves to play World of Warcraft.
@@charlayned good for you! And your legend husband " not suffering fools well." Love it. I have several friend with FM and MS too. It sucks! And so not visible- its a real problem. Casts, braces etc make things easier. But those illnesses and my dads back injury are so much harder due to not being visible. All the best!
One day when I was doing yard work, stopped to rest for a bit and leaned my tools: shovel, rake, weeder, trowel, push broom and yard cart against the telephone pole at the front corner of my property. I got a drink and while sitting on the front porch, a guy on a bicycle rode past, noticed my tools and did a 180 to go back to them. Before he got to them he saw me on the porch, turned around and continued on his previous direction.
My granddaughter has lost tools because they were leaned up against the back wall on their carport while she went in for lunch. They were gone when she went back out. 🤷🙄
@@scuba535 Oh, right. I assumed everyone had their mailboxes at the front of the property. So…from the kerb to the front fence or where one would be built?
My uncle left his brand new weed eater in the alley while helping his son mow yards. I can’t remember fully but I thing he left it on his trailer. Someone stole it, he’s a retired detective and should have known better.
You’ll be happy to know, then, that OP and her wife got married in Ireland in a lovely ceremony with Lena in her pretty dress and no parents or entitled sister present!
Good! They didn't deserve to come, and I hope she cut contact with them. Not calling out the sister's homophobia is also homophobic because you say that this behavior is acceptable. Shame on all of them, and congratulations to OP, her wife, and their daughter.
Story 2: "Your business isn't going anywhere if you don't make the customer happy!" Good on OP for giving her a reality check, because it's not like they would EVER want her as a customer. No business is going to spend $1k to produce a cake only to be paid $50. THAT is how a business goes nowhere, except maybe under.
S1: I remember riding my bike around my neighborhood to look for any close garage sales. I stopped at one and got off to look. Five minutes later, I went back to see a guy was looking at my bike. No price tag on it, but sometimes stuff being sold don’t have any. I quickly walked over and said “Sorry, this is my bike. It’s not for sale.” Luckily, the dude was a little embarrassed and left after we both apologized for our misunderstandings. His misunderstanding, but I’m also an idiot that constantly apologizes.
Exactly! You’ll be happy to know that OP and her wife got married in Ireland in a lovely ceremony with Lena in her pretty dress and no parents or entitled sister present!
If someone told me 1k for a cake like that, even in US dollars, not Canadian, I'd still think it was a steal. Her demands were off the charts and the estimation very reasonable.
Story 1: Sorry lady, you are not Bart Simpson and OP is not Homer. Using the rapid repeating plea in order to get what you want is just not gonna work.😂😂😂.
2nd story, the customer is out of her mind to think she can get a well designed top-level custom cake, for only $50. That kind of cake is at least $600 and up. Famous bakers like from Cake Boss are in the thousands of dollars.
I’ve been yelled at several times for parking in disabled parking. I look like I’m in my 30’s and my MS and asthma aren’t the viable disabilities. But I’m often told I don’t looked disabled, so I tell them they don’t look stupid, but I at least have a sign. 😂
I find that asking if their Care Giver knows they are out, unaccompanied again, goes a long way to causing them to either become so apoplectic that I have silence that way, or so embarrassed that I have silence that way.
Story 4 - Bad seatmates are the worse. I have always sat with my parents on flights so I’ve never experienced one but my brother has. The lady had a dog that was somehow allowed to sit with her, I don’t think it was an actual service dog because it was freaking out all flight and even pooped on the flight. She was then given alcohol to clean the poop and had one extra bottle after she was done and chugged the whole thing, she ado made comments to my brother that “I wish he was older, so we could share the alcohol!”
Electric mower story: I agree with Fluff. I'd get at least one camera pointed at the shed where I stored that mower when it's not in use. Sister wants wedding money story: All things considered, I'd be going over my invite list very carefully when it comes time to send them out. There are people who don't need to come. And I can understand why the sister's bf hasn't formally asked her to marry him. Banker story: I hope OP provided the older man with copies of the checks she wrote out of the man's account PAST the date when she was supposed to stop for evidence in his divorce hearing. Handicap parking story: I wish certain people (Karens) would learn there are no age limits to a person being disabled. No upper limit or lower limit. Rental handicap parking story: Rick and Tara were definitely "hadicapped". After smoking crack long enough they likely only had 3 working brain cells between them.
You'll be happy to know that OP and her wife got married in Ireland in a lovely ceremony with Lena in her pretty dress and no parents or entitled sister present!
To be honest, I don't even understand why she told them "yes" in the first place. I would have said "It's not about who is more or less disabled. Everybody who is pre-boarding will be getting on ahead of everybody else. You'll just need to wait your turn." Better yet, I would have asked what row they were in and made sure that the people sitting further back went on fist, as that would make the whole process more efficient for everyone anyway. Because, honestly, that whole "I'm more disabled" thing doesn't make any sense and is not the point of how pre-boarding works anyway.
One thing a lot of people, in these stories especially, don't typically think about when buying buying food/baked goods out is that you basically have to buy enough ingredients to make whatever you're buying. Flour, eggs, sugar (powered and granulated), milk and heavy cream (assuming it's a whipped cream icing) in addition to whatever flavor and add-on ingredients you want add up. Don't believe me, look up a recipe for JUST a basic vanilla cake and the prices for the ingredients. It's not even guaranteed you'll have to store it somehow and factor that into account, ultimately.
Last: Reminds me of the young woman who parks in a slot reserved for builders, gets blocked, returns with her 4 yo from the pre-school, decides to mount the sidewalk, damages a porta-potty and car gets stuck. Charged for child endangerment, reckless driving, driving without a valid licence, damage to property, without valid "tax paid" stickers, etc ALL BECAUSE she parked in a no parking slot and refused to move!
She was probably raised with the expectation that saying "please" means you'll get anything you're asking for, IE: never been told no, despite being raised to say "please" at least.
This brings baack memories on cake and wedding. Ugh! I wanted a simple wedding at beach or park nearby. Mother in law said church( the one who embarrassed me for wearing a beautiful pantsuit instead of a skirt!?) My mom picked out my wedding dress( butt ugly and i hated it no choice in matter.) Mother in law demanded her friend make cake with fountain flowing through it and said she'd pay and never did. 40 people turned into 150 circus and i didnt know most people. Although i do still cherish the crock pot the bug guy who sprayed monthly at in laws. Lol. The best part was leaving! My husbands grams was in hospital so we went all dressed to semi bring wedding to her. Such a lovely sweet woman i adored. Went home. Yay! Not! Bang bang on apt door from church elders. They thought my honeymoon night would be a good time to have counseling and a sex talk for 2 hours mind you! You talk about cringe and so out of line!! I had just turned 18 so i guess they thought i was a virgin, needing counseling?! Who knows! There was no weðding night as we had to pack for honeymoon at 6 am. Almost missed flight and then stay tuned for honeymoon from hell! Lol. Looking back, we should have eloped and avoided everyones opinions and grandure. I was making $2.25 an hour and i paid for my bridesmaids dresses and shoes. They picked the dresses from a new seamstress wanting to start a new business.The dresses were stunning! I dont understand the destination weddings, destination bridal parties, paying for hair and makeup etc! Thats insane! It would be a flat out no for me if i had to pay thousands jus to be in someones wedding and im sure not taking out a loan to do it! Weddings have gotten out of control! Give me a simple close knit friend and family wedding any day!
Story 3: “since it will be her first and only wedding” - yeah I wouldn’t bet on that mom and dad 😂. We’ll see how excited they are when she is coming to them demanding money for her third wedding
Story 2 - As soon as she said she didn't want her time wasted, I knew she was going to waste OP's time. It reminds me of when someone on marketplace was trying to trade a used PS5 for an entire PC setup (monitors, keyboard, mouse, speakers, etc. not just the tower), and put "no lowball offers" in the posting. 🤦♂
Story 1: Karens like her need to be shut down quickly with force if need be. Story 2: Karen is defintely deluded. Story 3: Once agan, Katie gets her own way. Story 4: The entitled couple got what they deserved. I hope customs gave them a cavity search for good measure. Story 5: Karen was acting like a spoilt child who didn't get her way. Funny how they demand somebody be fired. Story 6: Another Karen who tried to police disable parking spaces instead of mindng her own business. Story 7: Karen was horrible and selfish. Story 8: Rick was stupid. He brought it all on himself.
Mama lived with me for 14 years. She had fibromyalgia, degenerating discs in her back and various other types of pain. When we would go to eat out, mom would finish eating before I did and go outdoors to smoke. (Yeah, I know.) One time, about a week after she got her MRI results showing just how bad her back was, mom was standing near our car (parked in a handicap space). And two people came out of the restaurant and looked at the car (Buick regal), and went off about how that car was too small for a handicap person and obviously the driver was cheating the system. When Mama told me, I wanted to find those women and ask them when they became experts to read mom‘s MRI !!
Second Story: Yea good luck with finding any shop that would accept a 50$ pay to make a wedding cake Karen as they would flat out reject that or just make her a wedding cake that would cost 50$, but it won't be as grand as she like. Third Story: OP did the right thing on not accepting her parent's help after they decide to back her sister. Fifth Story: The husband did the right thing by following OP's advice.
That always riles me up when people say “you decided to be gay” it isn’t a phase, you’re born gay. Don’t invite the sister or op’s parents if they’re going to behave like that. Hopefully the boyfriend takes this as a red flag and dumps that entitled sister.
You’ll be happy to know that OP and her wife got married in Ireland in a lovely ceremony with Lena in her pretty dress and no parents or entitled sister present!
Story 6: One time, my dad, my mum, and I went shopping at the local supermarket. My dad may not look disabled, but he has a disabled placard/sticker because his doctor recommended it. We parked in a disabled car park, and as we were getting out of the car, this woman came up to us to inform us that we couldn't park there and we needed to move the car as neither of us looked disabled enough to need a disabled placard/sticker. We told her it was none of her business, and we just walked inside. Not long after, the overhead speaker said something like, "Could the owner of the make and model of my dad's car and license plate please report to your car immediately" So we stop everything we are doing and go check it out. When we get there, we find the woman standing there smorking, with two people standing there looking at the car like they were trying to find something. One of them spoke to us, saying they received a report that someone was using a fake disabled placard/sticker, and they had to come look at it, but it was real and up-to-date. When the woman heard this, she started shouting that then we either must be using someone elses.
last time i drove to the store ( over 7 years now) i had my husband with me , he is an amputee above the knee of his right leg. He decided to stay in the car since the store was cramped and his wheelchair was too big to maneuver easily . So we pull into a handicapped spot , and i put up the placard . i go to get out of my car and basically got the same treatment , being badgered by a nosy person , i just point to my husbands leg , which you can see from the drivers door, he did not have a prosthetic yet so you could see his stump clear as day . she harrumphed at me and i went into the store . Hubby and i laughed about it when i got back in the car.
I really like Dark's voice in these stories. I usually just have these in the background while I do other things, but I have to say that they're great (both the channel and you) Thank you for all of these videos dude, I appreciate it alot. Send my cheers to Stevo as well.
Flying back from CO, I got to the gate early and was checked in by the attendant. Because I was so early he had me sit right by the gate to wait for boarding. A couple of loud college age boys came along and checked in. Then, they blocked me so I couldn't stand or walk with my cane to the gate. When the attendant turned on the "Now Boarding" sign, they crowded the entryway. BUT, the attendant reached between them and pulled me to the front so I could preboard. When they started loudly complaining, he told them that after preboarding ended they would have to still wait as the airline boarded numerically by seat number and they were WAY at the back. Then, he grinned at me and walked me to the gate where he had a stewardess help me walk to my seat. Oh, and he moved my seat to the front row!
For the second one I would have ended with, "You asked me not to waste your time, well you just wasted mine." To those out there who do the same sort of thing, never do a free consultation for major projects...
Story Two: I can imagine OP responding to the customer "My business won't go anywhere unless I can cut a profit. Good luck finding someone who can make something like that happen on your budget but I cannot, & I'm fairly certain most other bakers in the area wouldn't be able to either. Right now you're not yet a customer because I haven't taken on the contract nor would I be able to accomplish this without losing money so I am declining if you come back with something approaching the $800.00 we can talk, assuming I'll still have the time as vacancies fill up quickly. However you will quite likely hear a very similar number to the $800 I quoted you from any other custom bakery in the area. Weddings are an expensive business, as for $50 you're probably looking at a buying boxes from Sam's Club & baking it yourself for the kind of numbers you're asking for."
These people that think they’re the police of accessibility parking and take it upon themselves to criticise and evaluate anyone using parking or public mobility devices just blows my mind.
Story 7: that crew member is the one that needs to be reported. They could've said yes but told them to wait instead of letting them push someone with a walker. It doesn't matter if you are more "disabled" or differently able you still pushed someone down like a jerk! and that is not ok anywhere
I have a disability parking permit, for when I drive my mother. I use it only when she is in the car. She has mobility issues. What I do is when the disability parking spots are all full, I check to see if the cars parked there have the permits. Every now and then one doesn't. Which really makes me mad, because then I have to park really far away from the door and push my mother in a wheelchair through the entire damned car park. And Yes I report the entitled scat to the centre management of the car park. Once you have to look after a mobility impaired person, you find out really fast how bad those people really have it in terms of being able to get around. And get really mad when regular people without permits just park wherever they want "oh its only for a few minutes" I don't care. No permit, no parking in a disabled spot!
I had a situation similar to the plane story where the couple were complaining about the passenger being a bigger person. I'm a bigger person, but not so big that I spill into the other seat. That being said bc of how uncomfortable plane seats are & how many ridiculous ppl there are who like to complain just for the sake of complaining or bc they think it will get them an upgrade, I almost always purchase 2 seats. So this 1 flight I had the window, middle seat & this guy gets on who has the aisle seat. He immediately starts complaining that he won't have any room bc I'm so large yada yada & he should be upgraded. The FA told him in no uncertain terms was that happening, but that the plane wasn't full so he was free to find another seat so long as it didn't belong to someone else. So that's what he did, in the mean time there were a few late ppl getting on the plane 2 of which was a young woman & a toddler & u could tell the woman had been crying. Well since all airlines care about are selling seats there were no other 2 seats together, so the woman & FA asked if her toddler could sit in my middle seat to which I said yes. Idk what was going on yet, but clearly this woman was dealing with something, she even broke down in more tears when I said yes, bc apparently they asked a few other passengers if they minded switching seats, but of course they refused. Turns out she booked a last minute emergency flight bc her mother had been in a terrible accident & the Dr. didn't believe she'd make it thru the night & she was trying to get there in time to say goodbye. Anyway turns out the seat the AH picked did infact belong to someone & he ended up in between 2 ppl larger than me. The minute he went to open his mouth to complain about going back to his original seat everyone within earshot of what had happened shamed him so bad that he closed his mouth & didn't open it again for the rest of the flight. As for me I'm glad I was able to be there for her during such a stressful time & help with the baby. I ended up making a friend on that flight & we're still friends 10yrs later. Also mama Deb, her mom made what the drs called a miraculous recovery & she's still alive & well. The icing on the cake, when we landed we were told that the guy in the window seat next to the jerk kept getting up constantly thru the entire flight to go to the bathroom. Idk if the guy had a weak bladder or if he was doing it just to mess with the jerk, but I thought that was hilarious. As for the cake story, when my sister got married 15yrs ago she paid $1200 for a 3 tiered cake big enough to feed 75 ppl. Which was nowhere near as elaborate as that woman wanted. It was pearly white, with some silver & red buttercream hearts that were made to look kind of 3-D. The cake was based off of a topper my sister bought on a whim a cpl yrs before. She wanted something understated, but beautiful & the baker definitely understood the assignment & that cake was worth every penny.
Story 4: It's not "L-O-Led about napping", it's "lolled". Loll is a word, look it up. Google says it means "sit, lie, or stand in a lazy, relaxed way." (Loll also means to hang one's tongue loosely out of their mouth, and it's the root of 'lollipop', because you lick them.)
#3 - From the sound of things, OP's sister is going to have far more than one wedding. My guess would be four with that mouth and attitude of hers. OP can just skip the first one and tell sis the happy couple (OP and her wife) will attend the 2nd or 3rd ones.
Regarding the sixth (handicapped placard) story, since 2020, I've had an emergency total hip replacement (luckily squeezed in during the worst of the pandemic), three heart attacks 6 & 1/2 wks later, due to stubborn blood clot resulting from the surgery and just recently, 2 back surgeries (1st a spinal stenosis surgery and koflex clips for 2 ruptured discs and 1 & 1/2 yrs later, total lumbar reconstruction, including another spinal stenosis procedure and a 6 vertebrae spinal fusion (donor bone grafts, steel rods and more screws than I care to count). For the past 4 and a 1/2 years, I've used a walker and then graduated to a cane and mobility scooters when I go to the store. I've improved greatly but I will always need the cane due to partial paralysis in my right leg from spinal cord damage and the mobility scooters for the same reason. I was in my late 50s for the hip replacement and 62 for my last spinal surgery and have been harassed twice for using the scooters at the store. Inconvenient Karens but nothing I can't deal with. The handicapped placards are a different story. Where I live, if you drive, you can get the handicapped placard for free. My hip and back were the result of severe arthritis from an accident I had back in 1999. Unfortunately I also lost vision in my right eye from the same accident. Because I can't drive or own a car, I, because I'm MORE disabled, have to pay $75 a year for the placard. It doesn't make sense and doesn't seem fair. Not a huge deal. My kids and ex wife volunteer to take me to the store, drop me off and pick me up in front of the store while they go park. It just doesn't seem fair that I get penalized because I'm more disabled than the people that can drive.
Story 6: Everyone knows that Karens are judgMENTAL about appearances and prone to jumping to wildly unfounded conclusions. They're almost definitionally 3 beers short of a 6-pack. I saw a vid earlier today where a woman describes how her dad gets parking tickets twice a month for using handicap spaces. But once the line at the courthouse saw him, he got waved to the front by everyone there. Then the clerk saw him and immediately summoned the judge. And the judge saw him and immediately cancelled the tickets. Then OP reveals a pic of her dad, who just so happens to have a prosthetic arm and leg.
On this side of the world, although the judge may be sympathetic, you'll still get a fine unless you actually have an "accessable parking permit" regardless of how disabled you actually happen to be at the time. That said, I'm presuming the dad in your story does have the appropriate permit and the parking officer wasn't paying attention.
story 3: the guy isnt too afraid to propose to her sister, he is too smart to propose to her. probably just using her until she wises up. thats the difference between fun vs ring category women :)
My mother was handicapped and stopped her car behind a car parked illegally in the last handicap spot and called the police. She waited there until the police arrived and wrote a ticket.
Fluff, "lolled" is a perfectly fine verb. It means "laying back, lying idly, chilling". It does NOT mean "Laughing Out Loud", nor should it be spelled out when speaking...😮
Story 3 - OP is likely going to be estranged from her parents and her sister in very short time after that little display of cluelessness and homophobia. Damn!
15:54 this is the exact moment this story lost me. I’m a former bank employee, all names on an account have to sign off on the account being closed. He couldn’t just close it without his wife signing an agreement to close it. What he COULD do and what the bank should have done was put a stop payment in place for all the rest of the checks in that checkbook and freeze the account into a restricted status so only deposits, not withdraws can come through. Then if the wife agrees, the account could be closed at any point in the future
Story 3: Sounds like a case of heterophobia. It's clear OP was looking for a fight given how she's calling people "ignorant" and her feigning her own ignorance. I would say everyone is the ahol here. Kate was just being selfish. The parents should have kept their promise regardless of what happened to OP's fiance before as this is still OP's first wedding. OP should have tried harder to talk things out and addressed the real reason why she was getting push back. Clearly this was never about who OP married or why but OP wanted it to be so she could be offended in response.
I have a ryobi 40v mower .. whenever i stop to take a break or whatever i always take the batteries out and the safety key thing so if someone tried to steal it they would have to buy both in order to make it work; otherwise it would just be a lawn decoration LOL
that’s the perfect house just the cameras on. He takes one time to become one of those neighborhoods. I was in a great neighborhood, if you have cameras. Just because you feel safe because I think you are safe. Also, I have a concealed carry permit And I pray, I never have to use it
People never seem to understand how much cakes cost. I just bought a one tier 10 inch cake with the most basic decorations and it was over $50. Good luck to her lol. Also the fact that she started with “I need to know you’re serious” means she was turned down by all the other bakeries. Whenever a client says “I got ghosted by my previous baker” we all know what that means
I know what I'M saying, if I ever find myself in the same position as the "You don't LOOK handicapped!" girl I'd IMMEDIATELY clap back with "yeah well, you don't LOOK *,* but I guess, looks can be deceiving!"
just a note on the airline seat... "lolled" is a word that means "sit, lie, or stand in a lazy, relaxed way", which is how OP napped. OP did NOT "ell-oh-ell ed" around napping!
Story #6: A couple of regulars at the supermarket I work at could match OP's description (in part, anyway). They're young, have wild dye jobs and either use a cane or a scooter to get around. Being disabled doesn't mean you can't look young, hip or cool.
I had a handicapped placard (bad back), and had a really nice older man kindly say that he had a friend that needed one too, but he was a Korean war vet. We smiled at each other, wished each other a good day, and I’m still not sure if he was implying I was too young for a disability or what but I think he was just trying to be nice.
I'm disabled as well, at 24 y/o. I qualify for a disabled placard. Born with all of them. My doctor has actually commented that I am more disabled than my 50 y/o mother who has cancer. Unfortunately for me, NONE of my disabilities are visible. Not a single one. My mother and I want to get me a mobility scooter or motorised wheelchair or something similar as it would give me so much more independence as I can walk maybe a max of 5 meters unaided (yeah, really short) but I constantly worry I'll be seen as a fake or a fraud and yelled at by some Karen because I'm "too young" and "just fat" (I AM fat, to be fair, but it's also hard to exercise when disabled) and don't have any prosthetics or anything.
I was driving my disabled dad around recently, using his placard. Someone next to me started bitching cause I got out of the car just fine. I completely ignored him. My dad was coming around from the back seat passenger side. His legs don't work well, but his ears and mouth are fine. He laid into the stranger so bad, he couldn't get a word in, turned red, and just walked away.
Story 6: As someone who is disabled (non-visible unless walking) I was told "You don't look disabled" I responded with "Well you don't 'look' stupid..." and hobbled my ass away.
Are you stupid, or asking for makeup tips?
I'm in a Wheelchair so I'm clearly disabled, but maybe to someone like an Entitled person, I "must" be faking it. But, thankfully I haven't encountered anyone like that.

Exactly, OP should have asked for police to be called.
@@Ryanthusar Assault, yes. But since she touched the person it's assault AND battery.

@@owenbrady2899 That’s assuming her relationships actually make it long enough to get married!

Wedding story: my female pal had no interest in marriage. She went into the business track instead. She was very successful. In her mid 30’s she met a man who was much like her. Much to her surprise they started dating. They truly hit off. They decided to get married. His family was shocked at the news. It took time to convince them that it was not a prank. Then they were over the moon in happiness. Then they went to her parents. Her father was fighting back tears of joy. Her Mom stood up, left the room & returned with a thick wedding planning binder. Mom then told the just engaged couple what the marriage & the reception would be like. The Couple looked at each other & said “No”. Mom was very displeased & told her daughter & fiancé not to expect any money for the Wedding. My friends had a combined was near 7 figure income. The engaged couple then said “Ok”. Mom then played her trump card…that neither she or her husband could come to such a wedding. My friend turned to her father & asked who would take her down the aisle? Would there be no Father-Daughter dance? Father said he was coming even if it was stag. Mom left the room.
The Couple ran corporations. They put the wedding together in record time. After everything was password protected & locked in stone my friend reached out to her Mother for assistance in small things. Mom helped & at the reception she tried to claim that everything was done under her supervision. The newly married couple & most their friends/family just rolled their eyes & let it go.
Yet another idiot that thinks a couples wedding is someone else’s.
Story 2 - I’m a cake decorator myself and I’ve done my share of wedding cakes. There’s absolutely no way in Hell anyone, not even a beginner apprentice, would make a wedding cake like that for $50! And I think OP’s price estimate for this delusional bride was fair if not cheap.
Totally agree, I was doing a rough costing as it went on and was definitely over $1000.
@@charlottehardy822 That’s what I got too.
The only time when $50 could buy a multi-tier wedding cake is several centuries in the past.
She is definitely delusional! I’ve spent more than $50 on custom birthday cakes for only 20-25 people. A whole wedding cake, even without the decorations and cake stand, is going to be way more. I wish there was some way to get updates from other bakers and her reaction to being told repeatedly that she’s delusional.
Only a cake made out of cardboard and paint.
Story 2: Wedding cake for 50 cost around 350-400 for the standard cake design and that before addition customization opinion. That woman was delusion thinking she can get a custom cake for 50 dollar.
I was thinking $50 wouldn't even by a 12 x 24 sheet cake, undecorated.
Yah, $50.00 won't even cover the cost of the ingredients for the 3 tier cake Karen wanted let alone the decorations and OP's time making it...
Custom cupcake? 🧁
I can’t get any cake that feeds fifty people for fifty bucks. I normally spend 300 for a tiered birthday cake that feeds 35 to 50. We have a lot of parties here.

Story 3: oh goodie, another post where OP is the scapegoat and their sibling is the golden child who can do no wrong. There's a post where OP's golden brother dies of organ failure and OP doesn't save him and his parents where upset and say "how could you do this to your own brother?" To which OP said "my brother died when I was kicked out at 14"
Oh, if the OP in that story was gay, then I've also heard that story. Magnificent revenge and the right choice from that OP!!
One of my dear friends was kicked out of her house when she was 12 or 13, and my parents took her in when they saw her shivering outside the (closed for the night) bus depot. With one thing and another they got her to a distant relative’s house, who sued for custody. That took years to settle, and two days after it was settled (and she was something like 16 and a half) the winner of the custody battle was run down and killed. It would have been ruled as a traffic accident, except that, apparently on the way home, there was a voice message on her cell phone saying that “now that your new mother is dead, you have to come home now.” That and the damage to their car from the now dead new mother and the other forensic details got her to be an emancipated child status, her birth dad in jail. 30 years later, they got in touch and were demanding bone marrow to save their other child. Not asking, demanding. So, yes, I understand the “no, you all are not related to me, my family all died when I was 16 and a half, I will not be sacrificing anything for any of you.”
@@nela9994 holy shit.
@@llyallowyn8127 yeah, she got out of an abusive family mostly in one piece, but it was touch and go for a while. Her father was a big man, excused in high school, because, as a football player “boys will be boys”, and then later as a salesman, “well, it doesn’t really matter, he closes the deals, right?” Type of person. Until he did go to jail. I was able to get her a job in my company, that suited her time for school, and still earned her enough that she could manage a room-share with some other single folks at my company. I lost track of her when she went off to university, but she got back in touch after graduation, to ask for a work recommendation for her new job, and we stayed in touch since. I kind-of feel older sibling toward her, although my late wife was more mother than sister-in-law toward her, at times. She ate with my family or at my parents house about once a week (more or less) as an emancipated teen, mostly because we treated her like the adult she wanted to be seen as, rather than some child, pretending. Sometimes she even spent holidays with us, but mostly, actually, enjoyed the quiet in the shared house where she lived, during holidays, because everyone else was gone. Young lady had it rough, but the woman she is now is a wonderful person.

Story 6: 18:55
Do people keep forgetting that you can also be BORN disabled? Not all disabilities are immediately apparent or visible either. 😮💨
I remember a case presented at a Children's Miracle Network telethon where a young man came into the"booth" to be interviewed due to a strange cast that he had, and, in the middle of the interview, he disclosed that he suffered a *stroke* the first day of school.
He was FIVE when he had his stroke!
Another case (different Children's Miracle Network telethon) a woman was being interviewed after she saw her daughter who was dying. Turns out that the daughter had Tay-Sachs, but neither parent had a family history of that disease as far as they knew. All the parents could do was make her comfortable as they could and watch their little girl die.
“Take it or leave it!”
“I’ll leave it, thanks!”
How unprofessional!
*Story 6:* I would have been really tempted to just respond with "well, what does a handicapped person look like, then?" Just keep asking more detailed questions and let her dig herself deeper and deeper. "Wait, so you're saying that all a handicapped person has to do is dye their hair green, and suddenly they won't be handicapped anymore? Does the medical community know about this? Please tell me more!" etc.
For the wedding cake story: Another tidbit I noticed. She asked for BABY'S BREATH on her cake. You can't put real baby's breath on cakes because it's poisonous.😐 So ALSO good luck trying to find a bakery willing to poison their customers.🤣 And hopefully she doesn't go to lengths to buy some and put it on a cake herself.
Today, I've learned something. Thanks!

Many yrs ago, someone I know split from his wife. She drained their joint account then told the court and everyone else that it was her ex who had drained the account. What she wasn’t thinking about was this was in the day of bank books and the bank had her signature on the closing of the account.🤦♀️
Story 1 - I was expecting the old lady to tell OP to mow her lawn when he was finished with his, like he was a yard worker for hire or something, not suddenly take his mower like he was giving it away and because she ‘needed’ it!
OP better look into getting Ring/Security cameras installed around his house and a few more locks for his shed/garage.
I don't think she's an old woman. Based on her behavior as told by OP, she's a participation trophy generation.
I had a guy commission a Spartan spear head from my blacksmith shop. I wanted a challenge, so I got started forging it while waiting for him to get back to me. When I told him $250 without a shaft and $300 with a shaft, he sent me an alibaba post for one that was $20 😂😂😂 I told him he should buy that one if he wanted pot metal trash, and he said he was trying to 'support local businesses' 😂😂😂 $20 wouldn't cover propane and steel costs and I mostly use scrap steel and get it for next to free 😂
Did you manage to make some profit from the canceled project?
@chrisdufresne9359 I haven't yet, but that does mean I have a badass spear until it sells!

Do you have photos of your projects? Making a spear sounds so cool
I had a guy come to me asking me to forge him a custom machete for him to do brushing and trail maintenance with. I listened to what he wanted and looked at the sketch he had brought with him and told him the price. Like the guy who contacted you, this guy thought I should do it for $20 and could not comprehend why I told him no. He continued trying to get me to do it for $20 until I told him to leave because I was not going to pay him for the privilege of making it for him because the steal and the coal for my forge would cost him more than $20. I no longer do any blacksmithing due to health reasons and I still see that guy around from time to time and he still tells me he wishes I would have forged him a machete because ones in stores are so expensive and aren't as good of quality as what I used to make.
Forget just helping the guy up, that was assault of a disabled person. The woman should have been arrested.
FYI.... BABY'S BREATH IS TOXIC/POISONOUS! You should NEVER use it to decorate food with! So that lady was not only delusional to want that big and detailed of a cake for $50, she was also stupid for wanting to use a toxic plant as decoration!

That agent needs to be fired for allowing Karen to board the plane after assaulting op, because that is illegal on what Karen did especially in the airport.
I agree with the end of story number eight. If you're doing illegal activities , don't draw attention. I'm constantly amazed at people that get pulled over for speeding, broken taillights or headlights or driving irradically and are found to have kilos of illicit substances stashed somewhere in the car. It never fails to make me giggle.
I've watched several fly-on-the-wall cop shows and a lot of drug runners speed and evade the cops. It never ends well for them for even if they do get away, the cops can track their number plate to the address.
And then it's all "That ain't mine, man. I don't know how it got in my car."
They wouldnt touch that shit if they were smart to begin with... So "stupid" is exactly what i'd expect. 😂
So true. Unfortunately if they're using hard drugs, their judgment is probably impaired, potentially severely. It's good to try to remember that while they have all the appearance of idiots (and behave like idiots), they are often victims of circumstance, addiction, or other mental health issues. Still funny, but funny in a black humor sort of way.
I have Fibromyalgia and Psoriatic Arthritis. Not only have my doctors and the state deemed me disabled, the FEDERAL GOVERNMENT has decided I'm disabled.

He's barely doing it now. I can walk small distances and can't stand for long. I use a cane in the house and I have a walker for short trips. And due to the lack of exercise (fall risk) and the medications (10 and counting), I'm heavy. I've been told to take my fat ass out of that chair and walk so I can get skinny so some man might want to date me. He says this just as my husband of 31 years comes up behind him. My husband does not suffer stupid very well and told the guy where to get off the planet. Oh, and I love wearing different hair colors at times. Been teal, purple, pink, and a nice emerald green.

One day when I was doing yard work, stopped to rest for a bit and leaned my tools: shovel, rake, weeder, trowel, push broom and yard cart against the telephone pole at the front corner of my property. I got a drink and while sitting on the front porch, a guy on a bicycle rode past, noticed my tools and did a 180 to go back to them. Before he got to them he saw me on the porch, turned around and continued on his previous direction.

S1: I remember riding my bike around my neighborhood to look for any close garage sales. I stopped at one and got off to look. Five minutes later, I went back to see a guy was looking at my bike. No price tag on it, but sometimes stuff being sold don’t have any. I quickly walked over and said “Sorry, this is my bike.

If someone told me 1k for a cake like that, even in US dollars, not Canadian, I'd still think it was a steal. Her demands were off the charts and the estimation very reasonable.
That estimate wasn't merely reasonable. It was downright shy!
Story 1: Sorry lady, you are not Bart Simpson and OP is not Homer. Using the rapid repeating plea in order to get what you want is just not gonna work.😂😂😂.
And if they try describing the "please", you can quote Felonious Gru: "The physical appearance of the please makes no difference. It is still no."
18:11 "You don't look disabled". . .
My reply would be. . "Yeah. . And you don't look stupid. . But here we are"
Story #3 I would uninvite the sister AND the parents. Because CLEARLY they don't give a f* about OP's feelings
A better comeback to story 6 would be, "Well you look old enough to known better than to try and tell other people what to do, yet here we are."
2nd story, the customer is out of her mind to think she can get a well designed top-level custom cake, for only $50. That kind of cake is at least $600 and up. Famous bakers like from Cake Boss are in the thousands of dollars.
Even Adriano Zumbo would have priced that cake at a similar amount to OP, minimum.
Makes me wonder, if she knew it was 600$+ and wanted it for 50$ so she can sell it 600$ or more and her wedding didnt exist at all.
I’ve been yelled at several times for parking in disabled parking. I look like I’m in my 30’s and my MS and asthma aren’t the viable disabilities. But I’m often told I don’t looked disabled, so I tell them they don’t look stupid, but I at least have a sign. 😂
🤣🤣
I find that asking if their Care Giver knows they are out, unaccompanied again, goes a long way to causing them to either become so apoplectic that I have silence that way, or so embarrassed that I have silence that way.
When some people say: "You are too young to be disabled" I have to tell. I'm half-blind on one eye (~5%). And that is from birth.
Story 4 - Bad seatmates are the worse. I have always sat with my parents on flights so I’ve never experienced one but my brother has. The lady had a dog that was somehow allowed to sit with her, I don’t think it was an actual service dog because it was freaking out all flight and even pooped on the flight. She was then given alcohol to clean the poop and had one extra bottle after she was done and chugged the whole thing, she ado made comments to my brother that “I wish he was older, so we could share the alcohol!”
Electric mower story: I agree with Fluff. I'd get at least one camera pointed at the shed where I stored that mower when it's not in use.
Sister wants wedding money story: All things considered, I'd be going over my invite list very carefully when it comes time to send them out. There are people who don't need to come. And I can understand why the sister's bf hasn't formally asked her to marry him.
Banker story: I hope OP provided the older man with copies of the checks she wrote out of the man's account PAST the date when she was supposed to stop for evidence in his divorce hearing.
Handicap parking story: I wish certain people (Karens) would learn there are no age limits to a person being disabled. No upper limit or lower limit.
Rental handicap parking story: Rick and Tara were definitely "hadicapped". After smoking crack long enough they likely only had 3 working brain cells between them.

Because he was the one who created the problem to begin with... He should never allowed them to passed the first one at all...
To be honest, I don't even understand why she told them "yes" in the first place. I would have said "It's not about who is more or less disabled. Everybody who is pre-boarding will be getting on ahead of everybody else. You'll just need to wait your turn."
Better yet, I would have asked what row they were in and made sure that the people sitting further back went on fist, as that would make the whole process more efficient for everyone anyway.
Because, honestly, that whole "I'm more disabled" thing doesn't make any sense and is not the point of how pre-boarding works anyway.
Story 1: I would have asked her where her Care Giver is? Does your Care Giver know you're here?
One thing a lot of people, in these stories especially, don't typically think about when buying buying food/baked goods out is that you basically have to buy enough ingredients to make whatever you're buying. Flour, eggs, sugar (powered and granulated), milk and heavy cream (assuming it's a whipped cream icing) in addition to whatever flavor and add-on ingredients you want add up. Don't believe me, look up a recipe for JUST a basic vanilla cake and the prices for the ingredients. It's not even guaranteed you'll have to store it somehow and factor that into account, ultimately.
Story 2: I am really sorry for the Fiance who has to live with her for rest of the life.
Last: Reminds me of the young woman who parks in a slot reserved for builders, gets blocked, returns with her 4 yo from the pre-school, decides to mount the sidewalk, damages a porta-potty and car gets stuck.

ALL BECAUSE she parked in a no parking slot and refused to move!

This brings baack memories on cake and wedding. Ugh! I wanted a simple wedding at beach or park nearby. Mother in law said church( the one who embarrassed me for wearing a beautiful pantsuit instead of a skirt!?) My mom picked out my wedding dress( butt ugly and i hated it no choice in matter.) Mother in law demanded her friend make cake with fountain flowing through it and said she'd pay and never did. 40 people turned into 150 circus and i didnt know most people. Although i do still cherish the crock pot the bug guy who sprayed monthly at in laws. Lol. The best part was leaving! My husbands grams was in hospital so we went all dressed to semi bring wedding to her. Such a lovely sweet woman i adored. Went home. Yay! Not! Bang bang on apt door from church elders. They thought my honeymoon night would be a good time to have counseling and a sex talk for 2 hours mind you! You talk about cringe and so out of line!! I had just turned 18 so i guess they thought i was a virgin, needing counseling?! Who knows! There was no weðding night as we had to pack for honeymoon at 6 am. Almost missed flight and then stay tuned for honeymoon from hell! Lol. Looking back, we should have eloped and avoided everyones opinions and grandure. I was making $2.25 an hour and i paid for my bridesmaids dresses and shoes. They picked the dresses from a new seamstress wanting to start a new business.The dresses were stunning! I dont understand the destination weddings, destination bridal parties, paying for hair and makeup etc! Thats insane! It would be a flat out no for me if i had to pay thousands jus to be in someones wedding and im sure not taking out a loan to do it! Weddings have gotten out of control! Give me a simple close knit friend and family wedding any day!
"The bridal industry is a leech that preys on young love." -Fenneko
Story 3: “since it will be her first and only wedding” - yeah I wouldn’t bet on that mom and dad 😂.
We’ll see how excited they are when she is coming to them demanding money for her third wedding
Story 2 - As soon as she said she didn't want her time wasted, I knew she was going to waste OP's time. It reminds me of when someone on marketplace was trying to trade a used PS5 for an entire PC setup (monitors, keyboard, mouse, speakers, etc. not just the tower), and put "no lowball offers" in the posting. 🤦♂
Story 1: Karens like her need to be shut down quickly with force if need be.
Story 2: Karen is defintely deluded.
Story 3: Once agan, Katie gets her own way.
Story 4: The entitled couple got what they deserved. I hope customs gave them a cavity search for good measure.
Story 5: Karen was acting like a spoilt child who didn't get her way. Funny how they demand somebody be fired.
Story 6: Another Karen who tried to police disable parking spaces instead of mindng her own business.
Story 7: Karen was horrible and selfish.
Story 8: Rick was stupid. He brought it all on himself.
Mama lived with me for 14 years. She had fibromyalgia, degenerating discs in her back and various other types of pain. When we would go to eat out, mom would finish eating before I did and go outdoors to smoke. (Yeah, I know.)
One time, about a week after she got her MRI results showing just how bad her back was, mom was standing near our car (parked in a handicap space). And two people came out of the restaurant and looked at the car (Buick regal), and went off about how that car was too small for a handicap person and obviously the driver was cheating the system.
When Mama told me, I wanted to find those women and ask them when they became experts to read mom‘s MRI !!
Second Story: Yea good luck with finding any shop that would accept a 50$ pay to make a wedding cake Karen as they would flat out reject that or just make her a wedding cake that would cost 50$, but it won't be as grand as she like.
Third Story: OP did the right thing on not accepting her parent's help after they decide to back her sister.
Fifth Story: The husband did the right thing by following OP's advice.
That always riles me up when people say “you decided to be gay” it isn’t a phase, you’re born gay. Don’t invite the sister or op’s parents if they’re going to behave like that. Hopefully the boyfriend takes this as a red flag and dumps that entitled sister.
You’ll be happy to know that OP and her wife got married in Ireland in a lovely ceremony with Lena in her pretty dress and no parents or entitled sister present!
Story 3: I wouldn't even invite any of the family if they act like or at the very least strongly consider not to do it.
Story 6: One time, my dad, my mum, and I went shopping at the local supermarket. My dad may not look disabled, but he has a disabled placard/sticker because his doctor recommended it. We parked in a disabled car park, and as we were getting out of the car, this woman came up to us to inform us that we couldn't park there and we needed to move the car as neither of us looked disabled enough to need a disabled placard/sticker. We told her it was none of her business, and we just walked inside. Not long after, the overhead speaker said something like, "Could the owner of the make and model of my dad's car and license plate please report to your car immediately" So we stop everything we are doing and go check it out.
When we get there, we find the woman standing there smorking, with two people standing there looking at the car like they were trying to find something. One of them spoke to us, saying they received a report that someone was using a fake disabled placard/sticker, and they had to come look at it, but it was real and up-to-date. When the woman heard this, she started shouting that then we either must be using someone elses.
Should have strongly suggested that the police be called to arrest the woman for impersonating an officer.
It's too bad that stupidity doesn't hurt.
Fire that gate attendant.
Story 7. Selfentitlment is not a "physical" disability, but it is a mental one.
Entitlement isn't a Disability...Physical OR Mental...
last time i drove to the store ( over 7 years now) i had my husband with me , he is an amputee above the knee of his right leg. He decided to stay in the car since the store was cramped and his wheelchair was too big to maneuver easily . So we pull into a handicapped spot , and i put up the placard . i go to get out of my car and basically got the same treatment , being badgered by a nosy person , i just point to my husbands leg , which you can see from the drivers door, he did not have a prosthetic yet so you could see his stump clear as day . she harrumphed at me and i went into the store . Hubby and i laughed about it when i got back in the car.
I really like Dark's voice in these stories. I usually just have these in the background while I do other things, but I have to say that they're great (both the channel and you)
Thank you for all of these videos dude, I appreciate it alot.
Send my cheers to Stevo as well.
I agree that Dark Fluff has the best reading voice. Some of these posts grate on my ears and it's really annoying!!!
There are always Hostess cupcakes to fit her budget.
Last story, I doubt they would have really called the landlord. They would have probably called a friend and pretended that they were the landlord.
Story 4 - LOL Karma is an Entitled Snobs worst nightmare!😂😂😂😂
Flying back from CO, I got to the gate early and was checked in by the attendant. Because I was so early he had me sit right by the gate to wait for boarding. A couple of loud college age boys came along and checked in. Then, they blocked me so I couldn't stand or walk with my cane to the gate. When the attendant turned on the "Now Boarding" sign, they crowded the entryway. BUT, the attendant reached between them and pulled me to the front so I could preboard. When they started loudly complaining, he told them that after preboarding ended they would have to still wait as the airline boarded numerically by seat number and they were WAY at the back. Then, he grinned at me and walked me to the gate where he had a stewardess help me walk to my seat.
Oh, and he moved my seat to the front row!
For the second one I would have ended with, "You asked me not to waste your time, well you just wasted mine." To those out there who do the same sort of thing, never do a free consultation for major projects...
Story Two: I can imagine OP responding to the customer "My business won't go anywhere unless I can cut a profit. Good luck finding someone who can make something like that happen on your budget but I cannot, & I'm fairly certain most other bakers in the area wouldn't be able to either. Right now you're not yet a customer because I haven't taken on the contract nor would I be able to accomplish this without losing money so I am declining if you come back with something approaching the $800.00 we can talk, assuming I'll still have the time as vacancies fill up quickly. However you will quite likely hear a very similar number to the $800 I quoted you from any other custom bakery in the area. Weddings are an expensive business, as for $50 you're probably looking at a buying boxes from Sam's Club & baking it yourself for the kind of numbers you're asking for."
"You don't look handicapped!"
"You don't look stupid, but there we are."
These people that think they’re the police of accessibility parking and take it upon themselves to criticise and evaluate anyone using parking or public mobility devices just blows my mind.
Story 7: that crew member is the one that needs to be reported. They could've said yes but told them to wait instead of letting them push someone with a walker. It doesn't matter if you are more "disabled" or differently able you still pushed someone down like a jerk! and that is not ok anywhere
I have a disability parking permit, for when I drive my mother. I use it only when she is in the car. She has mobility issues. What I do is when the disability parking spots are all full, I check to see if the cars parked there have the permits. Every now and then one doesn't. Which really makes me mad, because then I have to park really far away from the door and push my mother in a wheelchair through the entire damned car park. And Yes I report the entitled scat to the centre management of the car park.
Once you have to look after a mobility impaired person, you find out really fast how bad those people really have it in terms of being able to get around. And get really mad when regular people without permits just park wherever they want "oh its only for a few minutes" I don't care. No permit, no parking in a disabled spot!
I had a situation similar to the plane story where the couple were complaining about the passenger being a bigger person. I'm a bigger person, but not so big that I spill into the other seat. That being said bc of how uncomfortable plane seats are & how many ridiculous ppl there are who like to complain just for the sake of complaining or bc they think it will get them an upgrade, I almost always purchase 2 seats. So this 1 flight I had the window, middle seat & this guy gets on who has the aisle seat. He immediately starts complaining that he won't have any room bc I'm so large yada yada & he should be upgraded. The FA told him in no uncertain terms was that happening, but that the plane wasn't full so he was free to find another seat so long as it didn't belong to someone else. So that's what he did, in the mean time there were a few late ppl getting on the plane 2 of which was a young woman & a toddler & u could tell the woman had been crying. Well since all airlines care about are selling seats there were no other 2 seats together, so the woman & FA asked if her toddler could sit in my middle seat to which I said yes. Idk what was going on yet, but clearly this woman was dealing with something, she even broke down in more tears when I said yes, bc apparently they asked a few other passengers if they minded switching seats, but of course they refused. Turns out she booked a last minute emergency flight bc her mother had been in a terrible accident & the Dr. didn't believe she'd make it thru the night & she was trying to get there in time to say goodbye. Anyway turns out the seat the AH picked did infact belong to someone & he ended up in between 2 ppl larger than me. The minute he went to open his mouth to complain about going back to his original seat everyone within earshot of what had happened shamed him so bad that he closed his mouth & didn't open it again for the rest of the flight. As for me I'm glad I was able to be there for her during such a stressful time & help with the baby. I ended up making a friend on that flight & we're still friends 10yrs later. Also mama Deb, her mom made what the drs called a miraculous recovery & she's still alive & well. The icing on the cake, when we landed we were told that the guy in the window seat next to the jerk kept getting up constantly thru the entire flight to go to the bathroom. Idk if the guy had a weak bladder or if he was doing it just to mess with the jerk, but I thought that was hilarious. As for the cake story, when my sister got married 15yrs ago she paid $1200 for a 3 tiered cake big enough to feed 75 ppl. Which was nowhere near as elaborate as that woman wanted. It was pearly white, with some silver & red buttercream hearts that were made to look kind of 3-D. The cake was based off of a topper my sister bought on a whim a cpl yrs before. She wanted something understated, but beautiful & the baker definitely understood the assignment & that cake was worth every penny.
Story 4: It's not "L-O-Led about napping", it's "lolled". Loll is a word, look it up. Google says it means "sit, lie, or stand in a lazy, relaxed way." (Loll also means to hang one's tongue loosely out of their mouth, and it's the root of 'lollipop', because you lick them.)
#3 - From the sound of things, OP's sister is going to have far more than one wedding. My guess would be four with that mouth and attitude of hers. OP can just skip the first one and tell sis the happy couple (OP and her wife) will attend the 2nd or 3rd ones.
I’m a stroke survivor. When I see a car in handicapped parking I look for a placard. If they have one I move on.
Regarding the sixth (handicapped placard) story, since 2020, I've had an emergency total hip replacement (luckily squeezed in during the worst of the pandemic), three heart attacks 6 & 1/2 wks later, due to stubborn blood clot resulting from the surgery and just recently, 2 back surgeries (1st a spinal stenosis surgery and koflex clips for 2 ruptured discs and 1 & 1/2 yrs later, total lumbar reconstruction, including another spinal stenosis procedure and a 6 vertebrae spinal fusion (donor bone grafts, steel rods and more screws than I care to count). For the past 4 and a 1/2 years, I've used a walker and then graduated to a cane and mobility scooters when I go to the store. I've improved greatly but I will always need the cane due to partial paralysis in my right leg from spinal cord damage and the mobility scooters for the same reason. I was in my late 50s for the hip replacement and 62 for my last spinal surgery and have been harassed twice for using the scooters at the store. Inconvenient Karens but nothing I can't deal with. The handicapped placards are a different story. Where I live, if you drive, you can get the handicapped placard for free. My hip and back were the result of severe arthritis from an accident I had back in 1999. Unfortunately I also lost vision in my right eye from the same accident. Because I can't drive or own a car, I, because I'm MORE disabled, have to pay $75 a year for the placard. It doesn't make sense and doesn't seem fair. Not a huge deal. My kids and ex wife volunteer to take me to the store, drop me off and pick me up in front of the store while they go park. It just doesn't seem fair that I get penalized because I'm more disabled than the people that can drive.
Thanks for reading my story of the Handicapped Placard police Karen.
Story 6: Everyone knows that Karens are judgMENTAL about appearances and prone to jumping to wildly unfounded conclusions. They're almost definitionally 3 beers short of a 6-pack.
I saw a vid earlier today where a woman describes how her dad gets parking tickets twice a month for using handicap spaces. But once the line at the courthouse saw him, he got waved to the front by everyone there. Then the clerk saw him and immediately summoned the judge. And the judge saw him and immediately cancelled the tickets. Then OP reveals a pic of her dad, who just so happens to have a prosthetic arm and leg.
On this side of the world, although the judge may be sympathetic, you'll still get a fine unless you actually have an "accessable parking permit" regardless of how disabled you actually happen to be at the time.
That said, I'm presuming the dad in your story does have the appropriate permit and the parking officer wasn't paying attention.
story 3: the guy isnt too afraid to propose to her sister, he is too smart to propose to her. probably just using her until she wises up. thats the difference between fun vs ring category women :)
Story 3: We are decades overdue for a world without homophobia or favoritism.
I hope she goes no contact with her sis mom and dad
Living happily while her sister continues to make a disaster of her own life would be a lot sweeter.
It does require firm boundaries, though.
My mother was handicapped and stopped her car behind a car parked illegally in the last handicap spot and called the police. She waited there until the police arrived and wrote a ticket.
Fluff, "lolled" is a perfectly fine verb. It means "laying back, lying idly, chilling".
It does NOT mean "Laughing Out Loud", nor should it be spelled out when speaking...😮
My wedding cake cost that much in 1976, and it was a small wedding.
Story 3 - OP is likely going to be estranged from her parents and her sister in very short time after that little display of cluelessness and homophobia. Damn!
15:54 this is the exact moment this story lost me. I’m a former bank employee, all names on an account have to sign off on the account being closed. He couldn’t just close it without his wife signing an agreement to close it. What he COULD do and what the bank should have done was put a stop payment in place for all the rest of the checks in that checkbook and freeze the account into a restricted status so only deposits, not withdraws can come through. Then if the wife agrees, the account could be closed at any point in the future
#7 that is clear assault, any other airline would have done something…
Story 3: Sounds like a case of heterophobia. It's clear OP was looking for a fight given how she's calling people "ignorant" and her feigning her own ignorance. I would say everyone is the ahol here. Kate was just being selfish. The parents should have kept their promise regardless of what happened to OP's fiance before as this is still OP's first wedding. OP should have tried harder to talk things out and addressed the real reason why she was getting push back. Clearly this was never about who OP married or why but OP wanted it to be so she could be offended in response.
I have a ryobi 40v mower .. whenever i stop to take a break or whatever i always take the batteries out and the safety key thing so if someone tried to steal it they would have to buy both in order to make it work; otherwise it would just be a lawn decoration LOL
that’s the perfect house just the cameras on. He takes one time to become one of those neighborhoods. I was in a great neighborhood, if you have cameras. Just because you feel safe because I think you are safe. Also, I have a concealed carry permit And I pray, I never have to use it
People never seem to understand how much cakes cost. I just bought a one tier 10 inch cake with the most basic decorations and it was over $50. Good luck to her lol. Also the fact that she started with “I need to know you’re serious” means she was turned down by all the other bakeries. Whenever a client says “I got ghosted by my previous baker” we all know what that means
I know what I'M saying, if I ever find myself in the same position as the "You don't LOOK handicapped!" girl
I'd IMMEDIATELY clap back with "yeah well, you don't LOOK *,* but I guess, looks can be deceiving!"
"oh that's what's wrong with you. Should've figured". Would be my reply to you in this case.
just a note on the airline seat... "lolled" is a word that means "sit, lie, or stand in a lazy, relaxed way", which is how OP napped.
OP did NOT "ell-oh-ell ed" around napping!
husband ran for the hills when wife turned gay . cant blame the man . no point staying in that marriage
I used to be a cake decorator. From the bride's description of the cake I estimated that it would cost at least $1000.
Story #6: A couple of regulars at the supermarket I work at could match OP's description (in part, anyway). They're young, have wild dye jobs and either use a cane or a scooter to get around. Being disabled doesn't mean you can't look young, hip or cool.
45 seconds. WOOT!! Hello, everyone. Have a glorious week.
18:09
Ok, even trying to think like an entitled person, how TF does the color of someone's hair affect weather or not someone is disabled or not?
Don't try to apply logic to an illogical act.
I had a handicapped placard (bad back), and had a really nice older man kindly say that he had a friend that needed one too, but he was a Korean war vet. We smiled at each other, wished each other a good day, and I’m still not sure if he was implying I was too young for a disability or what but I think he was just trying to be nice.
I'm disabled as well, at 24 y/o. I qualify for a disabled placard. Born with all of them. My doctor has actually commented that I am more disabled than my 50 y/o mother who has cancer.
Unfortunately for me, NONE of my disabilities are visible. Not a single one. My mother and I want to get me a mobility scooter or motorised wheelchair or something similar as it would give me so much more independence as I can walk maybe a max of 5 meters unaided (yeah, really short) but I constantly worry I'll be seen as a fake or a fraud and yelled at by some Karen because I'm "too young" and "just fat" (I AM fat, to be fair, but it's also hard to exercise when disabled) and don't have any prosthetics or anything.
“Somebody is marrying this lady”… well they have until December to reconsider at least. 😉
