Idk, not to excuse Karens' behavior, but I think Fred was not completely innocent. It seems he didn't make clear (until the last story) that the house didn't come with a dock. It seems he used pictures showing the dock. Somebody with a big boat is not going to rent a lake house without a dock 🤷🏻♀️

Yes, to be so violent as to throw a bottle at someone hard enough to break their nose because she wasn't having her way he was totally going to end up a battered husband marrying her.
It's common practice with vacation rentals. In my mom's beachfront community, some renters started a fire and damaged the deck through stupidity and were STUNNED when they had their asses kicked out.
As soon as Fluff said "she spit on me" and "punched a hole with a pen" I was like "that's assault"... "that's destruction of property".

Fred should have a section in his contract mentioning that his renters may not access the dock. He should also have his renters specifically initial that part and include in a small fine if they violate that. Then he should give the money to OP for his troubles. Just saying.

@@HappilyHomicidalHooligan I’m talking an extra fine. If it was Karen’s last day, there’s no real punishment for getting kicked out. I used to be a landlord.

I work for a summer camp that is on a lake with a public access entrance. We had people wanting to step on our docks even though it's no trespassing and a security risk as they are strangers and we had campers swimming, boating, and walking near the docks. May sound silly but we can't take that risk.
@@Yumi_Jay It’s not silly at all, you folks are taking exactly appropriate precautions. There’s a summer camp near where I live where they used to not enforce those rules, till around four children got kidnapped and murdered.

That was a long time ago though, so a lot of the details are fuzzy, I just remember feeling mortified because my younger sister went to that camp the summer beforehand.

Fred should tell them directly that the boat and dock aren't his and it's in the contract. If they want to borrow the boat they have to ask op and he's probably going to say no.
I'd have a big sign on the dock saying; NOT FRED'S DOCK. That would be specific enough for many more than the generic No Trespassing signs they THINK protect the dock they are renting from Fred. A sign in the window of his rental should say, that pretty dock is OFF LIMITS because it's the neighbor's land and dock. DO NOT USE IT.

The poor bride-to-be, "exchanging her white dress for an orange jump suit." ROTFLMAO. And, well, did the Karen's foot crack and snap when that surfboard fell on her foot?
After hearing the first two stories, I'm thinking to myself, "If I ever get a house with a dock near a river/ocean, I should get a canoe or a Kayak so I can keep the docks occupied at all times." and then I heard the rest of the stories and now I'm thinking, "Gods below, I should never own a dock ever!"
The dock owner needs to have 'notches' in the side of one his dock-posts, for how many Karens he's taken down. Maybe even a Loony-Tunes style "Karen Hunting Season" sign.
I like the general idea, but I would replace "notches" with "lifelike sculptures of stuffed, mounted Karen heads, based on the Karens' actual appearances, complete with signs giving one-sentence summaries of what they did".
At 1:10 "the US Army Corpse of Engineers" has got to be one of the best mistakes I've ever seen - big difference between corps [military unit] and corpse [dead body]
Might have been autocorrect. It gets me on some WEIRD things (like the other day, I wrote "fourth" and autocorrect cheerfully changed it to "forth" instead).
I feel like Fred should have been doing more to control his guests and a large portion of the money he always keeps should go to OP and his wife for the hell his guest put them through.
I actually think Fred "accidentally" told his renters that the dock was ok for them to use, so he could cash them out and quickly get new renters in there.
id suggest to make a dock. ask op if putting a fence on the property line would be ok. it might help. there could be signs along the fence on fred's side that read "my rental ends here. be on other side of fence and you'll be trespassing"
The third story... when she ripped the vinyl... I could just imagine hearing the horrible sound of it. As having a boat with a lot of vinyl myself, I can tell you that you have to basically replace the whole section if anything happens to it.
There is nothing that screams "ahole-tax" more than the second story. "You threw a bottle at an innocent person's face? We'll throw your butt in jail!"
With the bride, it seems the judge gave her exactly the right amount of time so she had to alter her date at the altar! (Apologies, I couldn't resist!) Plus, now the cops are on first first name basis with OP. Perhaps a new medical term 'Karenitis' inflammation due to too much exposure to Karens! ETA: spelling
I have a feeling that Karen # 2 had to cancel the wedding all together because I wouldn't want to marry a volant lady who might throw things at me if drunk/provoked...
Karen and her husband were really lucky. After hearing them yelling like lunatics and threatening to hurt him someone like one of my uncles, (all former military,) would pull out their sidearm and maybe provide them the courtesy of 5 minutes to calm down and explain what they’re doing on his property. If they try to take advantage of that courtesy… BOOM! 💥
Story no. 1: Did Karen/Ken in the story think they would go all Scooby-Doo villain and say, "We would have gotten away with it, if hadn't been for that meddling owner!" Yeah, no, pay the a-hole tax and f--- off.
One thing that made me very uneasy here is that someone in the court system thought it was appropriate to assign that one Karen to work at a mental health facility as part of her sentence. People who are having problems with their mental health do not need exposure to someone like that. I could understand having her placed as a patient at one because of her actions, but not handing her a position that she could use to terrorize vulnerable people. That's not a punishment for a Karen, it's a gift with a big bow on it. Chilling, really.
I can't understand why Karen's always thought that touching other people's property is ok. When Karen's touch someone else's property they always have an excuse to avoid getting blamed for the damage. As if they think they do nothing wrong and it's completely ok to discriminate other people. What is wrong with Karen's?
Boat dock story: I would kindly ask Fred to include with his rental paperwork a notice that the dock is not for his renters use. Something they have to sign. Maybe give Fred a small payment for doing so in the nature of helping to prevent future problems.
@@2MeterLP no he needs more then a sign he needs a billboard with the letters in bold to really send the message. But even then knowing Karens there still room for error
The neighbor in the first story should pay OP a commission on all the Karen's he got extra money from! 😜 No, but seriously... I don't understand why people behave like that???
Fred does not seem to be making it very clear the dock is not for the use of his guests in light of the lake being for public use. Where I come from public use means just that. No private owner can refuse access (beaches) nor are they allowed to build private docks which inflate their house prices and attach them to public use facilities. Not defending the Karens by any stretch but something is going wrong if Fred's guests keep 'misunderstanding'???
Story 1 reminds me of something similar. Where I used to live our house backed on to a large park that would have a big festival for Canada day every year (for anyone from Toronto Ontario, its rib fest in Centennial park). People would often try to cut through our backyard as a shortcut. We didn't like this because we have 2 dogs and didn't want them to get out and also it's kinda rude. But there was this one woman with a young son, looked about 5 or 6. She didn't cut through. She knocked on the door amd asked for permission to park in our drive way and pass through the backyard AND offered us $10 to park on our property and the use of a short cut. This was the first time anyone asked (and nicely, plus the kid was so sweet and cute). We said absolutely she can park here and cut through the backyard! On one condition, since she was nice and polite and courteous, she uses the $10 to get her son some sweet treats! For the rest of the festival we gave her free reign to come and go, parking and cutting through. She even joined us for our own BBQ! Remember everyone. Politeness and kindness goes a long way. 😊
THat's a great story! You want people to respect you & your property! People ALL over the world want that because it's reasonable. I love that you gave her back the money to spend on her kid. Class act.
1st story: Karens don't know what private property, no trespassing or rules 2nd story: Why do karens always attack people 3rd story: "I saw you getting the boat ready for us" yeah, right Why is Fred still renting his property? 4th story: "I demand that you give me the access" "My husband is a lawyer" I'll buy that Why are these people always thieves?
@@peachjubilee I'd say if in a decade he's only had a few major Karens he's not doing so badly. There's a lake near here where most of the beaches are also army Corp properties. They're pretty cheap to get into and have inexpensive docking fees and boats for rent and even cheap single day fishing permits. But I haven't been once without encountering someone cheaping out and trying to get more than they paid for. Paying for a day ticket.... and camping out anyway. Driving past the parking permit gate when they think the person isn't paying attention. (Please note, a day pass is $5. Discount and FREE passes are available to the military, elderly, disabled, and through some of the local schools) Trying to keep the free to use equipment. Including life jackets. Someone stole a paddle boat from a pair of kids. Locking other people out of the public bathrooms so they can change without using a stall. Fishing in no fishing zones. One "caught" a local kid's floaty and blamed the kid when they nearly drowned. And most commonly, sex on the beach. During the day. Regardless of minors.
If the Dock owning OP sees this, may I suggest asking the Army Core of Engineers for permission to add a fence and locked gate to the dock to keep these Entitled Karens off your dock to prevent further incidents...Just to make sure no Violations of the Lake/Dock Rules happen simply because of someone else not paying attention to the many NO TRESPASSING signs plastered on the dock...
@@markarmour1898 thanks. Xx just alot on my mind. I know it's very relaxing and was so nice to see a pop up that a vid was ready. I instantly just smiled.

Funniest trespass story, short so in comments. One day my mum gets up to go to work, and found a dude passed out in her car. Apparently, rather then take the path down the road, he entered the private road, kept going, reached the end and figured it was his makes car so got in and slept. He was mortified AND hungover 🤣
Aint that the truth. No, the sign is not there to trip you up or block your view, we are telling you our internet is down so you know we can't do card transactions and are cash only... Everyone and their damn dog is in line at the till with their card out. What part of cash only transaction did they not understand?
@@terramarini6880 During lockdown we were open at work for click and collect only, with a big massive poster in the window saying so. One day someone walked up, looked at it but still asked 'Can I come in?'.
I’ve worked both in bookshops and in libraries, and yep, people don’t read signs. Like, at ALL. Even if they were done in yellow with giant bold caps surrounded by fluorescent lights. Which is sadly ironic considering people go to those places to read...
It's probably wayyy different elsewhere but my family owns a lakefront cabin in the BC interior that my grandpa built in 63. It's a decent lake to swim in, but the floor is super weedy and gross to walk on, and most of the private beaches are in the shallower area so it's not the nicest area to get in the water at. Our beach is in the deeper part and we keep the area by the dock maintained so there's barely any weeds beside the dock (it's also the last traditional floating log dock on the lake!) we have people asking all the time to use the dock, and like, don't be an idiot and be respectful and ofc you can use it! I swear it's crazy to think that there are ppl out there that think because it's a public lake, that any docks in the water automatically are free to use. Just because You find a kayak sitting on the public beach doesn't mean that's public property that's free to use! WTF
I tried surfing a few times, with me being the uncoordinated klutz I am, Let's just say it wasn't pretty, my friends were having a blast watching me embarrass myself. I hate my friends.
I love the ones where Karen/Ken says "Come and here, it's OK because [BS REASON]" because once the friends realise they were duped into trespassing, everyone blocks them because "Your stupid entitled ass almost got me arrested for trespassing!"
I live at the end of a cul-de-sac in a coastal urban area, and my house and the tip of the cul-de-sac front onto a large park with a lake & fountains (note: the park has two public car-parks on opposite sides of the park), during summer (especially evenings after a hot day) its not uncommon for people to park in my driveway or on my lawn, and if i do get to talk to the people (as sometimes i don't see the vehicle getting parked) i am usually the bad person ... yep, i get told gems like these ... "i am only going to be here for a few minutes" "your home, your not going out again tonight" "my kid wants to play pokemon" "I don't know were the carparks are" (hint: there are cars parked in them) ... as i get older i loath people even more.
Next time just tell them that you will happily accept the gift of their car, but would like the keys as well, as it will be a lot easier to resell. Since they left it on your property that can only mean it's meant as a gift to you ...
My tax dollars going towards feeding a Karen? Screw that, make her pay for a ankle bracelet and do her time on her dime. Oh Karen cant go out with friends tonight, house arrest, she can only go from work to her house. No, cant do drinks at her place, no alcohol per her probation :p
The second Karen (the bridezilla)is my favorite Karen. I am surprised 😮 that her friends didn't put her in check before she drunkenly went nuclear🤯. Now she has plenty of time to think of her actions in jail. Orange is the new White dress for her. I hope her fiance can see the red flags 🚩 🚩 in their relationship and reconsider.
Something fishy about "Fred" who can't seem to make his paying guests understand that use of dock and boat does not come with the house...how is it that these people keep thinking it's okay, and part of their rental agreement? He gets to keep their rental fees when they're kicked out while OP gets harassed, property damage, and wife gets smashed with a bottle, her nose broken! What's wrong with this picture.....??????
I too loved the Karen #2 encounter. I love the judge gave her 44 days in jail and the wedding was in 43 days. I wonder if a sincere apology would have carried any weight with the court? Doubt Karen would have though of that.
The groom should also rethink if he wants to marry a violent woman, who hits people with bottles! Or else he'd might end up a victim of domestic abuse.
I know you said no story submissions in the comments but this one is short. There was a Karen and a entitled kid making a scene so I went up to the kid and told him Santa want real then left the store. Best 20 second scream I’ve ever heard.
The Last Story had me reeling! I can't believe there are grown adults that don't know but you shouldn't swim up to a boat. Seriously, where these people born with brains or not?
You need a gun rack in your Chevy for when the surf and the Karens get heavy... "Sometimes that Karen looks right at ya. right into your eyes. and the thing about a Karen is she's got lifeless eyes... black eyes... like a doll's eyes... When she comes at ya, she doesn't even seem to be livin'... 'til she spots a manager, and those black eyes roll over white and then... ah then you hear that terrible high-pitched screamin'. the sales floor turns red, and despite all your sayin' that ya don't work here, those Karens come in and... they rip you to pieces. I'll never go into retail again"
I can just imagine the 'Bridezilla" trying to explain to the judge. Bridezilla: " I just wanted to have some fun before getting married, and I didn't like the 'Old Hag' disrupting MY bachelorette party." Judge: To bad you didn't carefully read the rental agreement and decided to trespass and throw bottles at people. Bridezilla: But I'm getting married in two days! Judge: I feel sorry for your parents if they paid for everything and your soon to be husband. Bailiff take her back to jail. Bridezilla: (Stomping feet and waving hands) You can't do this I'm getting MARRIED!

Might have been autocorrect. It gets me on some WEIRD things (like the other day, I wrote "fourth" and autocorrect cheerfully changed it to "forth" instead).
This is Entitled People, Bridezilla AND "I don't work here, lady," all in one story! Awesome!
Love the idea of explaining, "Wedding is off and i have changed wedding dress for orange jump suit". Hilarious, but oh so rightly deserved.
Its amazing that when a Karen loses, they vandalize property in front of the cops
I feel like Fred should have been doing more to control his guests and a large portion of the money he always keeps should go to OP and his wife for the hell his guest put them through.
I actually think Fred "accidentally" told his renters that the dock was ok for them to use, so he could cash them out and quickly get new renters in there.
@@Persholm1 😂😂😂😂. I didn’t think of that! Possible 😂😂
Fred makes money and OP suffers
@@Persholm1 I doubt that. He would be playing with gasoline at that point. Also every time the circumstance was different.
id suggest to make a dock. ask op if putting a fence on the property line would be ok. it might help. there could be signs along the fence on fred's side that read "my rental ends here. be on other side of fence and you'll be trespassing"
So many of these stories seem to often exemplify the expression, “don’t start none, won’t be none!”
That's for sure. Dale Carnegie said, "If you want to gather honey, don't kick the beehive."*
The wedding planners might actually cancel the bride's wedding, venue, etc as they may deem her a dangerous client.
The third story... when she ripped the vinyl... I could just imagine hearing the horrible sound of it. As having a boat with a lot of vinyl myself, I can tell you that you have to basically replace the whole section if anything happens to it.
8:46 “Freeeeed, it’s happening again!”
Fred: aaarrgghhhh! Whyyyyy? Alright. I’m on it
Props to Fred for showing those people the door.
There is nothing that screams "ahole-tax" more than the second story. "You threw a bottle at an innocent person's face? We'll throw your butt in jail!"
With the bride, it seems the judge gave her exactly the right amount of time so she had to alter her date at the altar! (Apologies, I couldn't resist!)
Plus, now the cops are on first first name basis with OP.
Perhaps a new medical term 'Karenitis' inflammation due to too much exposure to Karens!
ETA: spelling
I have a feeling that Karen # 2 had to cancel the wedding all together because I wouldn't want to marry a volant lady who might throw things at me if drunk/provoked...
Fred: "How many times do I need to teach you this lesson, Karens!?"
People need to learn that pressing charges is the only way Karens will learn
Yeah. Always press charges.
Jeez! The first OP had it rough. Like seriously, he needs to search his dock and remove that Karen magnet.
Karen and her husband were really lucky. After hearing them yelling like lunatics and threatening to hurt him someone like one of my uncles, (all former military,) would pull out their sidearm and maybe provide them the courtesy of 5 minutes to calm down and explain what they’re doing on his property. If they try to take advantage of that courtesy… BOOM! 💥
I bet the judge specifically picked exactly the amount of days that would force the cancellation of the wedding
Fred has a nice business plan... Make OP deal with the crazies, he gets to pocket the money and kick them out, opening the rental up for more crazies!
Last Story: "Don't turn out like your mom, kid" Too Late! He Already Is!
First he won't get up. Then yells "Mommy I think my bones are broke" 👿
Story 1: having a lake on the corpse of Army engineers seems like it should be illegal, lol
HaHa. The Army CORPS of Engineers. Haha
How would a lake be on the dead body of army engineers
LOL I noticed that misspelling too!
is joke people, just laugh 😂
I feel sorry for the undertaker. Wet corpses are extra smelly.
If theres a DarkFluff who does videos like this, is there a LightFluff that shares wholesome reddit stories?
Look it up and get back to us.
@@robertnelson9599 there is a LightFluff, but they have six subs and it's about cooking games
@@celticbandit548 that’s good enough for me I’m supporting lightfluff and darkfluff
He does both
Story no. 1: Did Karen/Ken in the story think they would go all Scooby-Doo villain and say, "We would have gotten away with it, if hadn't been for that meddling owner!" Yeah, no, pay the a-hole tax and f--- off.
Fluff: Stevo is NOT useless!!! The editing AND the stories are fantastic!!
Thank you Rampy!
Stevo and Fluff are the best, especially "we survived another one!"
Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if the Karen bridezilla ends up not getting married at all.
The wedding party story is the best Karen story I've ever heard.
Fred should be paying OP the "kept rent money" at this point
One thing that made me very uneasy here is that someone in the court system thought it was appropriate to assign that one Karen to work at a mental health facility as part of her sentence. People who are having problems with their mental health do not need exposure to someone like that. I could understand having her placed as a patient at one because of her actions, but not handing her a position that she could use to terrorize vulnerable people. That's not a punishment for a Karen, it's a gift with a big bow on it. Chilling, really.
Not to mention it wouldn't be good for her mental health.
@@blueturtle3623 Very true. It's just going to play into her control fantasies to give her any power over others, and that doesn't help anyone.
I can't understand why Karen's always thought that touching other people's property is ok.
When Karen's touch someone else's property they always have an excuse to avoid getting blamed for the damage. As if they think they do nothing wrong and it's completely ok to discriminate other people.
What is wrong with Karen's?
Boat dock story: I would kindly ask Fred to include with his rental paperwork a notice that the dock is not for his renters use. Something they have to sign. Maybe give Fred a small payment for doing so in the nature of helping to prevent future problems.
Why do I have the feeling that Fred is actually planning so well that he and OP actually benefits but OP is always the cause for his “Karen Penalty”
I wonder where did Fred''s customers rent their boats from?
The first guy’s signs obviously aren’t cutting it. My suggestion:
Arrest photos along with Reddit link.
In the mind of a Karen...she could assume that the signs are to keep others from using "her" rental dock.
@@bun04y yeah, what this guy needs is a sign that says "This dock is NOT part of the rental and neither is anything on it"
@@2MeterLP no he needs more then a sign he needs a billboard with the letters in bold to really send the message.
But even then knowing Karens there still room for error
Boat dock story: If the Army Corps of Engineers allows I think I would put up a large locked gate to help control access to my dock.
They probably don't ...
The neighbor in the first story should pay OP a commission on all the Karen's he got extra money from! 😜
No, but seriously... I don't understand why people behave like that???
I imagined OP and Fred going 'ah shit here we go again' by the time the Third Karen incident happened
Fred does not seem to be making it very clear the dock is not for the use of his guests in light of the lake being for public use. Where I come from public use means just that. No private owner can refuse access (beaches) nor are they allowed to build private docks which inflate their house prices and attach them to public use facilities. Not defending the Karens by any stretch but something is going wrong if Fred's guests keep 'misunderstanding'???
Story 1 reminds me of something similar.
Where I used to live our house backed on to a large park that would have a big festival for Canada day every year (for anyone from Toronto Ontario, its rib fest in Centennial park). People would often try to cut through our backyard as a shortcut. We didn't like this because we have 2 dogs and didn't want them to get out and also it's kinda rude.
But there was this one woman with a young son, looked about 5 or 6. She didn't cut through. She knocked on the door amd asked for permission to park in our drive way and pass through the backyard AND offered us $10 to park on our property and the use of a short cut. This was the first time anyone asked (and nicely, plus the kid was so sweet and cute). We said absolutely she can park here and cut through the backyard! On one condition, since she was nice and polite and courteous, she uses the $10 to get her son some sweet treats! For the rest of the festival we gave her free reign to come and go, parking and cutting through. She even joined us for our own BBQ!
Remember everyone. Politeness and kindness goes a long way. 😊
THat's a great story! You want people to respect you & your property! People ALL over the world want that because it's reasonable. I love that you gave her back the money to spend on her kid. Class act.
Ok the dock stories are the best! Thank you to the person who shared them to you!
1st story: Karens don't know what private property, no trespassing or rules
2nd story: Why do karens always attack people
3rd story: "I saw you getting the boat ready for us" yeah, right
Why is Fred still renting his property?
4th story: "I demand that you give me the access"
"My husband is a lawyer" I'll buy that
Why are these people always thieves?
Stevo is doing his best Fluff. Maybe give him some extra scraps of food so he can work harder. Sending love to Stevo and Fluff.
If my fiancee got arrested for assaulting the property owner whilst trespassing, she would no longer be my fiancee
The worst part is, when they explain it to their friends, you KNOW they explain it from their delusional perception. As if the POLICE were wrong...
Pushing someone in the water full clothed could kill someone.
Sorry to her about your wife’s injuries in Story #2
You should say in one intro: "where karens have not one, not two, not three, not even four... but ZERO common sense"
Stories 2 & 3 should have been locked up had charges pressed against them plus fines.
The owner should put a fence up to separate his property from Fred's so there is no mistake of the property lines.
The dock is his, but the lake and some of the surroundings belong to the army corps. He can't just build a fence
@@toysruskid5074 Maybe he could make a deal with them.
Then again, it IS a government institution.
There has to be a way to clearly show the neighbours guest that they are trespassing, because the signs aren't working
@@peachjubilee I'd say if in a decade he's only had a few major Karens he's not doing so badly. There's a lake near here where most of the beaches are also army Corp properties. They're pretty cheap to get into and have inexpensive docking fees and boats for rent and even cheap single day fishing permits.
But I haven't been once without encountering someone cheaping out and trying to get more than they paid for.
Paying for a day ticket.... and camping out anyway.
Driving past the parking permit gate when they think the person isn't paying attention. (Please note, a day pass is $5. Discount and FREE passes are available to the military, elderly, disabled, and through some of the local schools)
Trying to keep the free to use equipment. Including life jackets.
Someone stole a paddle boat from a pair of kids.
Locking other people out of the public bathrooms so they can change without using a stall.
Fishing in no fishing zones. One "caught" a local kid's floaty and blamed the kid when they nearly drowned.
And most commonly, sex on the beach. During the day. Regardless of minors.
If the Dock owning OP sees this, may I suggest asking the Army Core of Engineers for permission to add a fence and locked gate to the dock to keep these Entitled Karens off your dock to prevent further incidents...Just to make sure no Violations of the Lake/Dock Rules happen simply because of someone else not paying attention to the many NO TRESPASSING signs plastered on the dock...
Been feeling absolutely crap lately. Thank you Darkfluff. You've made me smile tonight :)
I hope you feel better soon.
The fluff-star has a very soporific voice. It chills me out massively.
@@markarmour1898 thanks. Xx just alot on my mind. I know it's very relaxing and was so nice to see a pop up that a vid was ready. I instantly just smiled.
The cancelled wedding one was my favorite. Bet that wedding is permanently canceled.
Last story: I think I would put up signs with 3 people being lead away in handcuffs as little suggestion on how to act.
BTW the boat one (the wedding one was mine as well). I legitimately thought the same way. Plus I feel bad for OP and wifey that they gotta go through this.
some just don't understand "no". and it's amazing how little they care about going to jail. Also, if i was the groom, i would send her to AA.
Funniest trespass story, short so in comments.
One day my mum gets up to go to work, and found a dude passed out in her car. Apparently, rather then take the path down the road, he entered the private road, kept going, reached the end and figured it was his makes car so got in and slept. He was mortified AND hungover 🤣
One rule I’ve learned from working retail: Don’t expect people to read, especially signs.
Aint that the truth. No, the sign is not there to trip you up or block your view, we are telling you our internet is down so you know we can't do card transactions and are cash only... Everyone and their damn dog is in line at the till with their card out. What part of cash only transaction did they not understand?
@@terramarini6880 During lockdown we were open at work for click and collect only, with a big massive poster in the window saying so.
One day someone walked up, looked at it but still asked 'Can I come in?'.
I’ve worked both in bookshops and in libraries, and yep, people don’t read signs. Like, at ALL. Even if they were done in yellow with giant bold caps surrounded by fluorescent lights. Which is sadly ironic considering people go to those places to read...
It's probably wayyy different elsewhere but my family owns a lakefront cabin in the BC interior that my grandpa built in 63. It's a decent lake to swim in, but the floor is super weedy and gross to walk on, and most of the private beaches are in the shallower area so it's not the nicest area to get in the water at. Our beach is in the deeper part and we keep the area by the dock maintained so there's barely any weeds beside the dock (it's also the last traditional floating log dock on the lake!) we have people asking all the time to use the dock, and like, don't be an idiot and be respectful and ofc you can use it! I swear it's crazy to think that there are ppl out there that think because it's a public lake, that any docks in the water automatically are free to use. Just because You find a kayak sitting on the public beach doesn't mean that's public property that's free to use! WTF
It would drive me bananas if random people used my dock. LoL. It sounds so beautiful there, it's amazing it's been in your family almost 60 years.
I think my bones are broken. 😂😂😂 Sounds like he's done this before.
Anybody have a surfboard I can use? My kid totally won't destroy it, promise! 🤞
if i say no will you attempt to call my manager?
@@endeyfire IT'S TOO LATE! I'M ALREADY ON THE PHONE!!! 😤
@@CarolineBearoline manager here, you called?
Lol! If the board gets broken, send it to the prop master on Animal Kingdom, maybe they'll feature it in Deran's bar, on an episode.🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂😜😜👍👍
I tried surfing a few times, with me being the uncoordinated klutz I am, Let's just say it wasn't pretty, my friends were having a blast watching me embarrass myself. I hate my friends.
I love the ones where Karen/Ken says "Come and here, it's OK because [BS REASON]" because once the friends realise they were duped into trespassing, everyone blocks them because "Your stupid entitled ass almost got me arrested for trespassing!"
I would cry fake but im a lake house owner with dock and large party boat and go through this crap at least once per year.
5:18 r/assholetax is like choosingbeggars and maliciouscompliance merged into one, fabulous subreddit
Story 2: OP with so many other people watching if that little Hellion had broken your board, you could have sued that Karen for major cash.
At some point, even Fred can't catch a break lol... I feel bad for OP.
Happy Saturday to Fluff, Stevo, and everybody from the Fluff's gang! ❤️
Happy Saturday to you too!
@@EditorStevo Thanks, Stevo! ❤️
I live at the end of a cul-de-sac in a coastal urban area, and my house and the tip of the cul-de-sac front onto a large park with a lake & fountains (note: the park has two public car-parks on opposite sides of the park), during summer (especially evenings after a hot day) its not uncommon for people to park in my driveway or on my lawn, and if i do get to talk to the people (as sometimes i don't see the vehicle getting parked) i am usually the bad person ... yep, i get told gems like these ... "i am only going to be here for a few minutes" "your home, your not going out again tonight" "my kid wants to play pokemon" "I don't know were the carparks are" (hint: there are cars parked in them) ... as i get older i loath people even more.
Next time just tell them that you will happily accept the gift of their car, but would like the keys as well, as it will be a lot easier to resell. Since they left it on your property that can only mean it's meant as a gift to you ...
Instead of 6 months of probation how about 6 decades in prison to teach them a lesson
My tax dollars going towards feeding a Karen? Screw that, make her pay for a ankle bracelet and do her time on her dime. Oh Karen cant go out with friends tonight, house arrest, she can only go from work to her house. No, cant do drinks at her place, no alcohol per her probation :p
The second Karen (the bridezilla)is my favorite Karen. I am surprised 😮 that her friends didn't put her in check before she drunkenly went nuclear🤯. Now she has plenty of time to think of her actions in jail. Orange is the new White dress for her. I hope her fiance can see the red flags 🚩 🚩 in their relationship and reconsider.
Man, Fred put in bold type the dock's not included and Karen 3 still effed up
Something fishy about "Fred" who can't seem to make his paying guests understand that use of dock and boat does not come with the house...how is it that these people keep thinking it's okay, and part of their rental agreement? He gets to keep their rental fees when they're kicked out while OP gets harassed, property damage, and wife gets smashed with a bottle, her nose broken! What's wrong with this picture.....??????
I agree, Fred needs to be sued.
Gotta say, I would be fed up with Fred and his crappy rental people
Right? I would have sued him after the second incident.
I too loved the Karen #2 encounter. I love the judge gave her 44 days in jail and the wedding was in 43 days. I wonder if a sincere apology would have carried any weight with the court? Doubt Karen would have though of that.
Maybe an apology, along with a reservation for a stint in rehab between now and the wedding?
The groom should also rethink if he wants to marry a violent woman, who hits people with bottles!
Or else he'd might end up a victim of domestic abuse.
I know you said no story submissions in the comments but this one is short. There was a Karen and a entitled kid making a scene so I went up to the kid and told him Santa want real then left the store. Best 20 second scream I’ve ever heard.
The Last Story had me reeling! I can't believe there are grown adults that don't know but you shouldn't swim up to a boat. Seriously, where these people born with brains or not?
I want to know if the bridezillas partner went ahead with the wedding.
If he did, he'll end up a victim of domestic abuse. A wife who beats people up with bottles? Red flag!
The Bridezilla Karen on the dock stories was the best. Orange 🍊 is the new white 👰.
You need a gun rack in your Chevy for when the surf and the Karens get heavy...
"Sometimes that Karen looks right at ya. right into your eyes. and the thing about a Karen is she's got lifeless eyes... black eyes... like a doll's eyes... When she comes at ya, she doesn't even seem to be livin'... 'til she spots a manager, and those black eyes roll over white and then... ah then you hear that terrible high-pitched screamin'. the sales floor turns red, and despite all your sayin' that ya don't work here, those Karens come in and... they rip you to pieces. I'll never go into retail again"
Those cops must hate that lake. I am sure they get calls like these all the time at the different docks.
Boy Fred is really cleaning up with collecting rent from the Karen's. Great stories!
YOu noticed that too?? LoL Honestly, I thought he should have given at least half to money to the aggrieved neighbor. Fred sounds cheap.
I can just imagine the 'Bridezilla" trying to explain to the judge.
Bridezilla: " I just wanted to have some fun before getting married, and I didn't like the 'Old Hag' disrupting MY bachelorette party."
Judge: To bad you didn't carefully read the rental agreement and decided to trespass and throw bottles at people.
Bridezilla: But I'm getting married in two days!
Judge: I feel sorry for your parents if they paid for everything and your soon to be husband. Bailiff take her back to jail.
Bridezilla: (Stomping feet and waving hands) You can't do this I'm getting MARRIED!
People also think their birthday should be a national holiday.
