@@ResidentMilf I mean, that's up to the Marines, on whether or not they want to prosecute. I was mostly responding to @lancerevell5979 who said "his business just got ruined."

I'm not military but if someone comes in with his own bouncers and gets half the bar out I'm not sticking around either there's usually a good reason for that level of fuckery
Story 1: That bouncer is beyond fucked and that bar probably died within the year of that. If you're running a bar anywhere near a military post, the last thing you want is to end up on the black list.
While military ID cards are issued at no cost to the service member, the actual value of a military SmartCard ID is actually quite substantial. Those cards have a microchip that contains your entire service, medical, and personnel records. They have an actual cost of roughly $75, but are virtually priceless for the individual to whom it is issued.
My partner is a former Marine and I made him listen to the first story. He had a satisfying smile on his face and a sharp nod to indicate "hell yeah" 😂
What did blud think was going to happen in the first story after he took somebody’s ID? That they’d just… pay him? Even if he wasn’t in the Marines, wouldn’t the average person just call the cops?
Well I didn't work in a bar, but I did work in a liquor store. Our policy was, if I'm 100% sure the ID was fake (or doesn't belong to that person), we tell them we're keeping it, and if they argue about it. We helpfully offer to call the cops and we'll turn it over to them and they can verify its authenticity and return it. I don't know what the law actually is though. Of course because we had to be 100% sure, we never had anyone actually stick around for the police to come and help us sort it all out.
You're coming at this the wrong way because you know the ID was real. The bouncer "knew" the ID was fake so you gotta operate from that angle. Since it's fake, lil bro can't call the cops on me since if they do show up I can just say I took the obviously fake ID and 20$ to get it back is just something lil bro made up. Assuming a fake ID probably costs more than 20 bucks, I would say there is a non zero chance people pay up. And of course, some people are just plain stupid so maybe bouncer guy wasn't really thinking much more than "me big, me take thing, me get money".
@@MisterNightfish that makes a lot more sense. I was confused why he would do something that could so blatantly blow up in his face. If he assumed it was fake, there wasn’t any risk in trying to sell it back to the guy because why would somebody call the cops after committing a crime. It’d be like calling the cops because your drug dealer scammed you…
Story 4: Gotta love how people are like "Do ONLY your job," only to suddenly backpedal when it negatively affects them because they are lazy. You gotta do YOUR job too, y'know
@@uselessinformation1988It depends on the situation. In this case, it sounds like things needed to be done, regardless of who was doing it. In cases like that it's less enabling and more just trying to keep things going.
@@uselessinformation1988 the amount of unpaid work that people do is INSANE (the us has an especially egregious level of it, but to my knowledge both the uk & japan have cultures of it too) any unpaid overtime? yeah you're doing your own job for nothing, anything outside your job description & remuneration? yup, working for free. do your job. get paid for your job. do someone else's job for free (ie anything your boss isn't paying you for): you're just robbing someone else for your boss.
@@sjs9698 I guess some people are so generous with helping out that their coworkers take advantage of it. Some people don't seem to know the difference between helping out and doing it for them. I think that's at the root of it all.
Story 2: Don't you hate when people pawn off their work to you constantly? Like, OP showed just how incompetent the bosses were by not doing said bosses' work for them.
Realistically, I think they used their "distractibility" as an excuse because the bosses noticed that they were so good at their job. Bosses hold people back from promotions all the time when said employee is insanely good at their job.
@@JamesDavy2009 In some ways, yes, it actually is. Like I said, in most corporate jobs they will hold you back from a promotion if you're exceedingly good at your job. Like I said in my own comment, do well, but don't exceed the minimum requirement by too much.
@@JamesDavy2009 I will say this much: pursuing greatness can be beneficial, but moreso if it's something you love. I mean if you love your job and want to stay where you are, by all means, work hard. But if it's not, then, yeah, mediocracy.
What that bouncer committed was theft of US government property. He's lucky he didn't get charged and sent to federal prison or have to pay a hefty fine.
7:45 About writing better lease agreements, she's right. It's obnoxious because it shouldn't be her business, but she's right. I think my lease agreement was at least more than than 5 full pages the one time I rented. It was just basic stuff, no pitfalls or anything, but it was necessary to cover loopholes.
It’s so bizarre viewing the comments early and seeing people getting ready to review each story; kind of refreshing to know I am not the only one who listens to rSlash, on a daily basis, each morning!
First story was absolutely hilarious, that officer and Chief weren’t unset with the Sailor at all, they were pissed about the situation he was in. And they weren’t going to have any of it.
I don't he stole Federal Government Property. Then tried to charge money to get it back. My worry is he may have stolen it study it to try to make fakes.
For those who don't know - in the US military, a 'mustang' is an officer who has been commissioned after formerly serviing as enlisted - i.e. frequently as an SNCO. Examples would be 'Chesty' Puller, Chuck Yeager - and also Dale Dye, of Hollywood fame.
The term “Mustang” in regards of officers is a prior enlisted NCO who then commissioned to officer ranks, usually extra “salty” so even the 2nd lieutenants are left alone
@lancerevell5979 the unfortunate thing is they usually top out as a bird. They usually aren't political enough and don't have something like the west point protective association helping them move into the general ranks. Just shows ability doesn't count as much as connections the higher you go
First story: For people who don't know military slang, a "mustang" is someone who started as an enlisted soldier and worked up to a high officer position rather than attending an officer training school. This takes an unbelievable amount of work and dedication. This is a career soldier who has seen everything. 3rd story: This is a very good example of why leases are the way they are. It's frustrating not to be trusted and 95% of renters are great, but every time you see a stupid rule in an agreement, try to remember that the rule is there because someone broke it in the past and it wasn't in the lease.
If he was smart, he would have fired the doorman, instituted a discount for anyone with military id, and tried to get in contact with the chief to apologize (and hope he's in the mood to hear it)
@@londoncrotty560The only thing scarier than the marines is the fucking nuclear laws around trees the marines you know what's coming and what you did the trees are a new hell
well op was Navy and and fairly common enough to have a Navy base with Marines and sometimes other branches, so simply don't screw with military folk in general.
I can. Military posts keep a list of places that are unfriendly or hostile to personnel. Being on that list in a military community is a death knell for a business.
That bouncer put his own liberty in jeopardy: Section 701 of 18 U.S.C. prohibits photographing or otherwise reproducing or possessing DoD ID cards in an unauthorized manner, under penalty of fine or imprisonment or both He possessed a military ID in an unauthorized manner. Only those in the service man’s direct command are authorized to remove from possession the ID. If he suspected it as phony, refuse entry and contact the pertinent military authorities. He isn’t actually authorized to make a copy of it as well as even the rightful holder isn’t authorized to make a copy.
more common than you think and pretty bad especially in places that are very big on the military and if local community got wind of it would me the end of that establishment.
Lease story: it’s a lot less work to hire a lawyer for an hour or two than it is to have a bad rental agreement, I imagine op learned his lesson though.
From what other stories I've heard about the US Marines, that first doorman made possibly the worst mistake of his entire life. He tried to screw some poor guy out of 20 bucks...and lost half the business for his entire business. Seriously, any bar that has a decent number of active military patrons are keen NOT to end up on that dreaded blacklist.
@@littlekuribohimposte the law overrides any contract. Literally any contract that breaks the law is an illegal contract and legally unenforceable and he could have been sued or worse depending on local variations in tenancy laws.
@@littlekuribohimposteBy your logic, someone could make a sex contract with someone with limited mental capacity and hey, they made a contract and are within the bounds *hands thrown up*
3rd story: Stories like this are exactly why contracts have become so big in capitalist society. Because people love to try to move around details of an agreement, just because "it's not in the lease, man". People don't hold any value over word of mouth anymore, and it's honestly such a tragedy that many societies have become this way.
The ID story is the _perfect_ example of the saying _Once a Marine, Always a Marine_ especially considering that _every Marine_ whether they're _Active Duty, Reserve, or Retired_ tailed the Chief. If anything, it only _backs up my point_
3rd story - though both are maliciously complying to the lease agreement, it is the landlord to keep the place habitable and the tenant could sue him for not doing so just to kick him out. The tenant is at fault too but the lease agreement did not state it so he is kind of in the right, even if the landlord kept insisting it is as per advertise. The court will not use the advertise as evidence to help the landlord.

Landlord is actually breaking the law, there are rules about quiet enjoyment and livability that he would certainly be breaking regardless of if they were written in the agreement.

@@xlifexwithxlithiumx from context, it looks like OP is still living in the house, so its less landlord and more roommate. Not wanting tons of guests over in your house that you are living in all the time isn't that fucked up.
First story reminded me of this. I don’t go to bars near as much as I used to and when I did it was rare. Mainly with friends. This one time I went by myself and I happened to witness a bunch of new recruit military types getting real loud and really drunk. One interaction I notice happen was with a guy sitting at the bar not to far from where I was. I didn’t get the whole thing because it was a loud and busy night but eventually they left the guy alone and proceeded to leave with his army buddies. So out of curiosity and empathy I sit closer to the guy and ask if he wants me to buy him a drink because I witnessed that interaction. I’ll never forget what he told me. He said “Don’t worry about it. Two things are either gonna happen to that young man. Either he’s gonna get deployed and get himself and his entire squad killed. Or he’ll learn quick and one day come back and buy me that drink himself.” He told me he let it go because he sees all types of young cocky kids like him. Some of them return worthy of the praise they are owed. Most dont.
The second i actually sympathize with the OP especially in my generation Gen Z most people bash us for working hard enough but yet stunts like what ops boss is doing is kind of making us not want to do more get premoted. Also some jobs it’s like impossible to get permoted or full time
Not just z, this is a tactic or scam thats been running for generations. I work for a hospital system that started a diversity group. Is was so small, but one of the surgeons mentioned how difficult it was to get in. I chimed in saying the same thing, also mentioned how many times I went for promotion and finally getting them. It was finally brought out that the place I worked liked to bring in family and friends. If you got here and didn't know or wasn't related, you were a unicorn. And you can tell as well with the work you do. The more reliable, the more you get. But reviews and scores during evaluation time were never just yours. They were the teams numbers, so you have a harder time getting promoted. After 3 promotions and 13 years I left that place for another better opportunity, and the HR went crazy because of how long I was there and my progress I should have been a lifer, but I couldn't handle the treatment.
I'm a Boomer and believe me, we heard the same shit from our older generation, the Greatest Generation. Possibly in our case there was some validity since we grew up in the post WWII era of an expanding economy rather than through the Depression. One think about jobs to keep in mind. You were looking for a job when you found the one you have. Dont allow yourself to be taken advantage of by empty promises of a raise or full time.. Go back to looking for a job
1st story: point of fact, what the bouncer did could have (and should have) landed him in jail with potential federal conviction. A military ID is property of the federal government. Anyone who takes it that is no an authorized agent if the federal government is in violation of the law. These laws can include espionage charges if the person is found to have connections to foreign governments, like a family member who is a foreign national. If you suspect an ID is fake, call the cops and let them handle it. That said, probably never happened or those marines were really stupid. It would take the base commander to black list a business to start. Second, the chief violated posse comitatus by forcing entry and making a public announcement which harmed the establishment's business. They are very lucky they were not sued if it happened. Big fish stories aren't uncommon in the military. I worked with a guy that was former Air Force who inflated his stories all the time. He didn't like it when I pointed out that if he'd done what he claimed he had, not only would the charges against the accused child abuser have been dropped by the JAG, but his ass would have been court martialled.
That rental story was fun. Reminds me of a good rule. Never open pandoras box. I play a lot of tabletop rpgs. My roommate buddy is usually the DM. He lets us get away with almost anything we want within reason. He just makes sure to remind us that he holds back too, and if we pull something out of the box, he gets to play with it too. It's a good rule. Never open the box against someone with the power to wield it back at you.
@@mrlughand who limits visitors anyway? That's probably not even legal in most countries. Even if: 2 visitors a month? Sounds like OP being a miserable loser on a powertrip
@@weybye91 It was in the ad, therefore would be enforced by a court, Tony agreed to it, and OP can prove it, which makes it just as binding as the lease.
Just a quick note BDUs are not "full battle uniform". It's just a your everyday uniform that you wear. It not like they all showed up in helmets and body armor.
This won't work for everyone, because some people really want to move upwards, but if a person is more valuable in the position they are in than promoting them up, then offer more pay and increased benefits to them to stay at that level. If they are a grunt, maybe see if there is a lead or assistant position for them, those usually have more responsibilities, look better on a resume, but still expected to do some of the grunt work. My dad is currently the highest paid person at the hanger he works at, including most of the floor managers, because he is the best they have and they need him. Promoting him would make it easier to pay him more, but then they loose his hard work, experience, and creative problem solving skills as he then would have to focus more on personal and paperwork.
Dude, that doorman is lucky all he has to deal with is a pissed bar owner. It is a federal offense to take someone’s military ID, and you can get in serious crap for doing it. Like, federal prison time serious. Don’t mess with the military. They will make you regret it.
I’m currently in the Navy, and for those who don’t know what a Mustang is, they’re prior enlisted who went officer. Imagine someone who’s been in for 10+ years in the military and is now granted a higher position than all enlisted folk… Hell, one was a prior E-8 (Senior Chief) on my ship and got in a Senior Chief’s face for trying to tell him to take his hands out of his pockets. They know the rules like the backs of their hands and are allergic to stupid. But they also (usually) have a soft spot for lower ranking enlisted folk. It’s nice because so long as you don’t do anything wrong, they normally fight for you. Got an issue where you can’t get something from supply? They have a soul to soul with their Chief. Someone’s telling you to come back to the ship on your day off for something that can wait till Monday? They shut it down as fast as lightning. The division has to do something that will take hours to do? They’re right there with you from start to finish.
Not my job: I had this same issue. I applied for a promotion, but because I was the one that could do anything in the company I was always refused it. Finally they gave it to me, and within 1 week they demoted me down. Their reasoning was I said "that's not my job" to another co-worker demanding I go and do something on the other side of the building when I was supervisor AND the only one in my section. A section that required 6 people, including the supervisor. I talked to managers above them and got moved out from under the managers that demoted me. Those very managers got fired a month later when the director over all locations found out. I also reported them several times, before I moved to a different area, for instructing others to violate food safety laws. The executive chief was not happy!
Story 3 I really find it weird that the op was so controlling like 2 visitors a month and then getting mad when Tony broke that rule and "Tony's bad habit is women" hes a tenet he should be able to have visitors over straight up. He pays rent and he holds his end of the deal hes an adult if u dont want your roommate having visitors dont have a roommate.
My dad was former Army. He told me a very funny story once about military officers in a bar. He was in Vietnam, drinking in a bar that was very popular with his fellow American servicemen. He didn’t see what started it, but suddenly a massive brawl broke out. My dad was tall and pretty skinny, so he made a mad dash to the only door and escaped unscathed. He called the military police and reported the brawl, asking for people to come break it up. In short order, a single buggy pulled up. One very large black man was standing in the back of the vehicle. My dad eyed him rather skeptically. “They only sent one guy?”, he asked. The man stepped down, readying his very large rifle. “You only got one brawl, don’t ya?”, he answered. Dad hung back and watched. The man walked into the bar, put a table back up, stood on it and fired just one shot towards the ceiling. Instant. Silence. Then he shouted “CLEAR THE F**K OUT!!!” People were scrambling over each other to get to the door. Once everyone was out, the man left, just as calmly as he had arrived. Dad could only gawk in astonishment.
First story, that is funny malicious compliance. He thought he was going to be in trouble, but instead, the Chief got an excuse to not sit in his desk and show what happens if you screw with the marines.
I'm a veteran myself. Airforce in my first hitch, Navy in my second. A "Mustang" is an officer who began as an enlisted man. Usually great officers, as they know how things are for us enlisteds. And in this story, I could easily see my old Senior Chief doing this. I once had an MAA (Master At Arns, or Navy cop) confiscate my Buck Knife I wore in a belt pouch. Got back to the ship, we were sailing in a couple hours. I told my Senior Chief, he quickly went to the MAA Office and got my knife back. You don't screw with an E8! 😂
On that second one, that's when they then still turn you down for the promotion for "not showing initiative", or "not being a team player". Which is why you always get any new directives in writing.
@@madgevanness4011 That's good. I'm glad the union was there for OP. I kinda meant more in general for companies here, though I suppose that's limited to ones without a good union.
the tenant story: sorry, but I think OP is annoying as hell and is a shitty person (a thousand dollars/month is riduculous for a room that doesn't even have a door to the bathroom). the tenant is also a shitty person for allowing a girl stay all the time without contributing or paying rent. i hate these situations because people like OP treat their tenants like robots and want to pretend they don't exist. while the tenant wants a space for themselves and not feel caged in
No, lease agreement trumps everything else. Op probably should have written the guest terms in the lease instead of just expecting the guy to pay extra because he didn't like that dude had a guest. Or he should have sucked it up for 6 months.
@@yougosquishnow indeed. And OP began to follow the the lease agreement to the letter in return. Fight fire with fire. If the guest wanna follow to the letter, they don't get any benefits outside what is written.
@@yougosquishnow verbal agreements, which had, are upheld in MOST courts. Also, Gina was, at that point, being an illegal tenant, he have had her trespassed and warned Tony that he'll keep doing if Tony keeps pulling this shit. NOTHING was actually in Tony's favor here, not even the lease.
Counter point, it’s not just OP’s house anymore dude. Once you start accepting money to let someone live there that becomes their space as well and you don’t really get to have much of a day in what they do. You can’t just treat someone like a 15 year old and say “you can only have friends over twice a month” if they’re literally paying you to live there that’s asinine. It honestly sounds more like a scummy control freak landlord on a power trip even if Tony was a massive douchebag
I loathe the NOT MY JOB mentality. Both from workers and management. Workers willing to work, and try anything are treasures. Managers should fosters, support and train them. I took what I thought was a temp job, doing grunt work in an electronics job, cleaning, keeping things in order, basic repetitive type tasks. "Not my job" was not in my vocabulary, boses would give me tasks, I'd figure them out ask questions and get it done. Bosses sent me to technical trainings. Now I work in highly compensated position, requires a EE degree, which I don't have. My sister started a company as a receptionist, she left where here division was sold off. She was the division director, receptionist to director. Company paid for college through an MBA.

Depends on the state. Guests are allowed by implication on many lease agreements if you can show they're not moved in. It's fine to follow the lease agreement as written, that's why they exist, though--however, again, in a lot of states, one has to be extremely careful as a landlord. Tenants have rights.
Story 2 - I was stuck in a similar position. I was at that company for nearly 13 years, and was dead-ended in a position where people saw me as "too critical to the role to move". My direct manager was frustrated for me, because she saw the shenanigans happening higher up to justify never promoting me, even though she thought I deserved it. They blocked her requests every time. So I moved myself out of that role and straight out of that company. The department, that had garnered so much prestige because of me and my work, basically collapsed into obscurity for a long time. Oops!
Bad roommate: OP sounds like an asshole. So long as the roommate's various companions aren't bringing in drugs, causing damage, or keeping OP awake all night with loud sex, it 1000% none of OP's business. Gin was right, OP wrote a bad lease. All rights and responsibilities should be laid out in the written agreement, not made in a handshake side agreement. Now, if you become close friends with your roommate, things might change, but with a new tenant, you should be very clear who can and should do what.
Tenant issues: if it's in the add and mentioined during showing, but isn't in the lease, then it's not enforceable. This guy can have over as many women as he wants. OP tries to extort him for more money to be quite? What a loser.
I really like the malicious compliance Reddit forum, and I appreciate that Dabney reads them to us. I typically agree with his sentiment too… unfortunately… I feel like his “murica” voice was a little disrespectful after the story. Troops have been disrespected for a long time. Look back to the personnel coming back from Vietnam that were literally spit on. We still see it today, in different forms. Not getting the help they need for PTSD, etc. We see a disproportionate amount of military suicides, homelessness, etc. This was, of course, a funny malicious compliance story, but… in no way are we a “respect the military or get out” country… maybe we should be? 🤷🏻♀️
As a landlord, always put everything you want in the rules in the lease agreement. A lot of people complain about bad landlords, but no one talk about bad tenants. I bet a lot of people who complained about bad landlords are actually bad tenants
story 3, im not sure but op might be breaking a tenanth law. what op might have been able to do was to sey that the woman wasent welcome because she is not a tenant but asking a lawyer would have been best to avoid any legal trouble
Most definitely broke laws. Too many damn people rent out houses/rooms without even glancing over local/state laws regarding landlording. Op is going to legally reamed when he tries that shit on the wrong person.
The rights of tenants to have guests may be included in local landlord/tenant laws. The landlord is responsible for a LOT more than is in the lease agreement.
For the lease agreement, a verbal agreement is equally binding to a signed agreement, so as it was in the ad, and discussed beforehand, that is actually as binding as if it was on the paper. The only difference is that it is much harder to prove the verbal agreement than it is the written.
Not true, if you have a written agreement you can’t add on extra verbal stuff to it. Verbal agreements do mean something, but not as add-ons to contracts.
because they think they are gods. if it not in the lease that you cant have visitors more than twice a month, then you can visitors 24/7 if thats what you want
The story about the landlord should not be played like a ‘both parties suck’ situation. The dude was a dick who drove out a tenant because he was treating the place like he lived there; because he fucking did.
Story 3: I feel like everyone is hating OP because “landlords are bad” is such a common thing. Regardless of your opinion on landlords. OP was functioning on the idea of lease agreement + spoken agreement equals understood living arrangements. The other dude clarified the rules by saying “no its just the lease agreement I am following”. Actions have consequences. He cannot want to be strict on the lease agreement and not expect possibly negative repercussions.
@@weybye91 or y'know, be a good little boy and stick to the basic agreement. At the end of the day, OP didn't ask for a 2nd tenant who is using his utilities and not paying rent. Sucks to suck, don't be an imbecile.
With the tenant story, I haven't finished it yet but couldn't he have Gina trespassed? She's not covered by the lease agreement. No rule about guests means he's not entitled to have them either, he can't kick his tenant out, that's it.
I worked as a bouncer, and have dealt with the military types, those guys will NEVER start a fight....but they are magnets for it. That being said, while I worked as a bouncer I never had to throw out a service man. But I did have the privilege of dealing with the fallout
Story 3: Actually, depending on where they live, only OP is being compliant. Most places recognize verbal agreements as the same as written contracts, so long as you can prove both sides agreed and getting this douche bag admit to it, on a recording or even in the court room, won't be hard.
Not true if you have a written lease, it’s bound by the four corners of that of that contract, verbal agreements don’t hold up in comparison now if you have just a verbal agreement, it can be up-held, but when you have a written lease, there can’t be any other verbal agreements it’s only that written lease.

I have a similar story in High School. I was in my Sophomore year, and new to the school. The school has strict rules that if you have a fake ID, it is grounds for arrest and maybe expulsion, and the ID will be taken away. I was at the library, producing my Student ID, when my MILITARY DEPENDENT ID also falls out. One of the teacher, who is a little bit of a cruel to many students saw it and started to confront me about it. The Principal and the School's Student Resource Officer came. She had a smug look on her face. But the Student Resource Officer said that the ID I have is real. "My Sister, and her kids have those, because they are Military Family." He said. The students started laughing at her. She was so embarrassed, that she transferred to a different school district. I temporarily became popular, for getting rid of a dislike teacher.
The bouncer was lucky to get away with just a mild threat. He stole US government property.
And now the Marines have been ordered to boycott that bar. I hope the bouncer got in serious trouble with his boss.

What did blud think was going to happen in the first story after he took somebody’s ID? That they’d just… pay him? Even if he wasn’t in the Marines, wouldn’t the average person just call the cops?
Well I didn't work in a bar, but I did work in a liquor store. Our policy was, if I'm 100% sure the ID was fake (or doesn't belong to that person), we tell them we're keeping it, and if they argue about it. We helpfully offer to call the cops and we'll turn it over to them and they can verify its authenticity and return it. I don't know what the law actually is though. Of course because we had to be 100% sure, we never had anyone actually stick around for the police to come and help us sort it all out.
At least he was smart enough to not destroy it that would probably have landed him in prison! LOL
You're coming at this the wrong way because you know the ID was real. The bouncer "knew" the ID was fake so you gotta operate from that angle. Since it's fake, lil bro can't call the cops on me since if they do show up I can just say I took the obviously fake ID and 20$ to get it back is just something lil bro made up. Assuming a fake ID probably costs more than 20 bucks, I would say there is a non zero chance people pay up. And of course, some people are just plain stupid so maybe bouncer guy wasn't really thinking much more than "me big, me take thing, me get money".
@@MisterNightfish that makes a lot more sense. I was confused why he would do something that could so blatantly blow up in his face. If he assumed it was fake, there wasn’t any risk in trying to sell it back to the guy because why would somebody call the cops after committing a crime. It’d be like calling the cops because your drug dealer scammed you…
Stealing a military ID is a federal felony. That bouncer got off very easy. And Karma for that club.
Story 4: Gotta love how people are like "Do ONLY your job," only to suddenly backpedal when it negatively affects them because they are lazy. You gotta do YOUR job too, y'know
Isn't doing someone else's job for them enabling their laziness?
@@uselessinformation1988It depends on the situation. In this case, it sounds like things needed to be done, regardless of who was doing it. In cases like that it's less enabling and more just trying to keep things going.
@@Artretha There's a difference between assistance and doing it for them.
@@uselessinformation1988 the amount of unpaid work that people do is INSANE (the us has an especially egregious level of it, but to my knowledge both the uk & japan have cultures of it too)
any unpaid overtime? yeah you're doing your own job for nothing, anything outside your job description & remuneration? yup, working for free.
do your job. get paid for your job.
do someone else's job for free (ie anything your boss isn't paying you for): you're just robbing someone else for your boss.
@@sjs9698 I guess some people are so generous with helping out that their coworkers take advantage of it. Some people don't seem to know the difference between helping out and doing it for them. I think that's at the root of it all.
Story 2: Don't you hate when people pawn off their work to you constantly? Like, OP showed just how incompetent the bosses were by not doing said bosses' work for them.
Realistically, I think they used their "distractibility" as an excuse because the bosses noticed that they were so good at their job. Bosses hold people back from promotions all the time when said employee is insanely good at their job.
@@Artretha I guess being good at your job is a bad thing?
@@JamesDavy2009 In some ways, yes, it actually is. Like I said, in most corporate jobs they will hold you back from a promotion if you're exceedingly good at your job. Like I said in my own comment, do well, but don't exceed the minimum requirement by too much.
@@Artretha I had a feeling all the messages of meritocracy you get taught is just pure propaganda.

What that bouncer committed was theft of US government property. He's lucky he didn't get charged and sent to federal prison or have to pay a hefty fine.
7:45 About writing better lease agreements, she's right. It's obnoxious because it shouldn't be her business, but she's right.

For those who don't know - in the US military, a 'mustang' is an officer who has been commissioned after formerly serviing as enlisted - i.e. frequently as an SNCO.
Examples would be 'Chesty' Puller, Chuck Yeager - and also Dale Dye, of Hollywood fame.
A Malicious Compliance haiku:
"Do your job, work slave!"
"I'll do _only_ my job then."
"I have regrets now."
OP should have told Gina that she's just going to be gone at the end month anyway because he's got 20 other girlfriends.
The term “Mustang” in regards of officers is a prior enlisted NCO who then commissioned to officer ranks, usually extra “salty” so even the 2nd lieutenants are left alone
I had a Mustang Lt onboard ship at on time. They usually make the best officers! 😎👍
@lancerevell5979 the unfortunate thing is they usually top out as a bird. They usually aren't political enough and don't have something like the west point protective association helping them move into the general ranks.
Just shows ability doesn't count as much as connections the higher you go
@@lancerevell5979 You had him at on time? Did you have him at off time?
@@kranberry3318 That was probably a different officer.
@@black1917 I was making a joke because @lancerevell5979 said “at on time” instead of “at one time”
First story: For people who don't know military slang, a "mustang" is someone who started as an enlisted soldier and worked up to a high officer position rather than attending an officer training school. This takes an unbelievable amount of work and dedication. This is a career soldier who has seen everything.
3rd story: This is a very good example of why leases are the way they are. It's frustrating not to be trusted and 95% of renters are great, but every time you see a stupid rule in an agreement, try to remember that the rule is there because someone broke it in the past and it wasn't in the lease.
Three things I've learned from r/Slash:
1: Don't mess with the IT guy.
2: Don't mess with tree law.
3 DO NOT MESS WITH THE MILITARY!
I kind of feel bad for the bar owner. Imagine losing probably 50% of your business because you hired an idiot to watch the door.
Not to be discriminatory but don't hire idiots
If he was smart, he would have fired the doorman, instituted a discount for anyone with military id, and tried to get in contact with the chief to apologize (and hope he's in the mood to hear it)
I was thinking the same
That bouncer is lucky those Marines didn't break a few bones and send him home with less teeth than God intended him to have
Chief probably didn't want to do the paperwork for the bouncer tripping and banging his head on the sidewalk.

That first story is so amazing! I can’t believe that the bar has been blacklisted by the military.
Well the bouncer decided to FAFO with the bar's livelihood over $20 hope it was worth it
I can. Military posts keep a list of places that are unfriendly or hostile to personnel. Being on that list in a military community is a death knell for a business.
That bouncer put his own liberty in jeopardy:
Section 701 of 18 U.S.C. prohibits photographing or otherwise reproducing or possessing DoD ID cards in an unauthorized manner, under penalty of fine or imprisonment or both
He possessed a military ID in an unauthorized manner. Only those in the service man’s direct command are authorized to remove from possession the ID. If he suspected it as phony, refuse entry and contact the pertinent military authorities. He isn’t actually authorized to make a copy of it as well as even the rightful holder isn’t authorized to make a copy.
@@michaeltelson9798Yep, bouncer got off very easy. A federal felony like this could get him time in Club Fed (prison).
more common than you think and pretty bad especially in places that are very big on the military and if local community got wind of it would me the end of that establishment.
Lease story: it’s a lot less work to hire a lawyer for an hour or two than it is to have a bad rental agreement, I imagine op learned his lesson though.
From what other stories I've heard about the US Marines, that first doorman made possibly the worst mistake of his entire life. He tried to screw some poor guy out of 20 bucks...and lost half the business for his entire business.
Seriously, any bar that has a decent number of active military patrons are keen NOT to end up on that dreaded blacklist.

The ID story is the _perfect_ example of the saying _Once a Marine, Always a Marine_ especially considering that _every Marine_ whether they're _Active Duty, Reserve, or Retired_ tailed the Chief. If anything, it only _backs up my point_
In the lease story, the renter learned a very important lesson. Don't fire warning shots at people who have more ammo than you.🤣
3rd story - though both are maliciously complying to the lease agreement, it is the landlord to keep the place habitable and the tenant could sue him for not doing so just to kick him out. The tenant is at fault too but the lease agreement did not state it so he is kind of in the right, even if the landlord kept insisting it is as per advertise. The court will not use the advertise as evidence to help the landlord.

Also Tony “how could you do this to me? How could I possibly suffer the consequences of my own actions?”

as long its not in the lease agreement OP fucked up by not putting it in the lease
@@xlifexwithxlithiumx from context, it looks like OP is still living in the house, so its less landlord and more roommate. Not wanting tons of guests over in your house that you are living in all the time isn't that fucked up.
First story reminded me of this.
I don’t go to bars near as much as I used to and when I did it was rare. Mainly with friends. This one time I went by myself and I happened to witness a bunch of new recruit military types getting real loud and really drunk. One interaction I notice happen was with a guy sitting at the bar not to far from where I was. I didn’t get the whole thing because it was a loud and busy night but eventually they left the guy alone and proceeded to leave with his army buddies. So out of curiosity and empathy I sit closer to the guy and ask if he wants me to buy him a drink because I witnessed that interaction. I’ll never forget what he told me. He said “Don’t worry about it. Two things are either gonna happen to that young man. Either he’s gonna get deployed and get himself and his entire squad killed. Or he’ll learn quick and one day come back and buy me that drink himself.” He told me he let it go because he sees all types of young cocky kids like him. Some of them return worthy of the praise they are owed. Most dont.
I bet that bouncer got fired for that.
The second i actually sympathize with the OP especially in my generation Gen Z most people bash us for working hard enough but yet stunts like what ops boss is doing is kind of making us not want to do more get premoted. Also some jobs it’s like impossible to get permoted or full time
Not just z, this is a tactic or scam thats been running for generations. I work for a hospital system that started a diversity group. Is was so small, but one of the surgeons mentioned how difficult it was to get in. I chimed in saying the same thing, also mentioned how many times I went for promotion and finally getting them. It was finally brought out that the place I worked liked to bring in family and friends. If you got here and didn't know or wasn't related, you were a unicorn. And you can tell as well with the work you do. The more reliable, the more you get. But reviews and scores during evaluation time were never just yours. They were the teams numbers, so you have a harder time getting promoted. After 3 promotions and 13 years I left that place for another better opportunity, and the HR went crazy because of how long I was there and my progress I should have been a lifer, but I couldn't handle the treatment.
I'm a Boomer and believe me, we heard the same shit from our older generation, the Greatest Generation. Possibly in our case there was some validity since we grew up in the post WWII era of an expanding economy rather than through the Depression. One think about jobs to keep in mind. You were looking for a job when you found the one you have. Dont allow yourself to be taken advantage of by empty promises of a raise or full time.. Go back to looking for a job
1st story: point of fact, what the bouncer did could have (and should have) landed him in jail with potential federal conviction. A military ID is property of the federal government. Anyone who takes it that is no an authorized agent if the federal government is in violation of the law. These laws can include espionage charges if the person is found to have connections to foreign governments, like a family member who is a foreign national.
If you suspect an ID is fake, call the cops and let them handle it.
That said, probably never happened or those marines were really stupid. It would take the base commander to black list a business to start. Second, the chief violated posse comitatus by forcing entry and making a public announcement which harmed the establishment's business. They are very lucky they were not sued if it happened.
Big fish stories aren't uncommon in the military. I worked with a guy that was former Air Force who inflated his stories all the time. He didn't like it when I pointed out that if he'd done what he claimed he had, not only would the charges against the accused child abuser have been dropped by the JAG, but his ass would have been court martialled.
That rental story was fun. Reminds me of a good rule. Never open pandoras box.
I play a lot of tabletop rpgs. My roommate buddy is usually the DM. He lets us get away with almost anything we want within reason. He just makes sure to remind us that he holds back too, and if we pull something out of the box, he gets to play with it too. It's a good rule. Never open the box against someone with the power to wield it back at you.
Story 3: all op had to do was tell G she wasn't welcome and if she was seen in the house again she would be trespassed

Just a quick note BDUs are not "full battle uniform". It's just a your everyday uniform that you wear. It not like they all showed up in helmets and body armor.
Further explanation: BDU stands for battle dress uniform, which is just like, the camo shirt and pants.
This won't work for everyone, because some people really want to move upwards, but if a person is more valuable in the position they are in than promoting them up, then offer more pay and increased benefits to them to stay at that level. If they are a grunt, maybe see if there is a lead or assistant position for them, those usually have more responsibilities, look better on a resume, but still expected to do some of the grunt work. My dad is currently the highest paid person at the hanger he works at, including most of the floor managers, because he is the best they have and they need him. Promoting him would make it easier to pay him more, but then they loose his hard work, experience, and creative problem solving skills as he then would have to focus more on personal and paperwork.
Dude, that doorman is lucky all he has to deal with is a pissed bar owner. It is a federal offense to take someone’s military ID, and you can get in serious crap for doing it. Like, federal prison time serious. Don’t mess with the military. They will make you regret it.
The tenant story is the perfect example of "play stupid games, win stupid prizes."
And fuark around/find out
I’m currently in the Navy, and for those who don’t know what a Mustang is, they’re prior enlisted who went officer. Imagine someone who’s been in for 10+ years in the military and is now granted a higher position than all enlisted folk… Hell, one was a prior E-8 (Senior Chief) on my ship and got in a Senior Chief’s face for trying to tell him to take his hands out of his pockets. They know the rules like the backs of their hands and are allergic to stupid.
But they also (usually) have a soft spot for lower ranking enlisted folk. It’s nice because so long as you don’t do anything wrong, they normally fight for you.
Got an issue where you can’t get something from supply? They have a soul to soul with their Chief. Someone’s telling you to come back to the ship on your day off for something that can wait till Monday? They shut it down as fast as lightning. The division has to do something that will take hours to do? They’re right there with you from start to finish.
Not my job: I had this same issue. I applied for a promotion, but because I was the one that could do anything in the company I was always refused it. Finally they gave it to me, and within 1 week they demoted me down. Their reasoning was I said "that's not my job" to another co-worker demanding I go and do something on the other side of the building when I was supervisor AND the only one in my section. A section that required 6 people, including the supervisor. I talked to managers above them and got moved out from under the managers that demoted me. Those very managers got fired a month later when the director over all locations found out. I also reported them several times, before I moved to a different area, for instructing others to violate food safety laws. The executive chief was not happy!
Story 3 I really find it weird that the op was so controlling like 2 visitors a month and then getting mad when Tony broke that rule and "Tony's bad habit is women" hes a tenet he should be able to have visitors over straight up. He pays rent and he holds his end of the deal hes an adult if u dont want your roommate having visitors dont have a roommate.
The issue is that the landlord pays the utilities. Extra people over means higher utility consumption.

My dad was former Army. He told me a very funny story once about military officers in a bar. He was in Vietnam, drinking in a bar that was very popular with his fellow American servicemen. He didn’t see what started it, but suddenly a massive brawl broke out. My dad was tall and pretty skinny, so he made a mad dash to the only door and escaped unscathed. He called the military police and reported the brawl, asking for people to come break it up. In short order, a single buggy pulled up. One very large black man was standing in the back of the vehicle. My dad eyed him rather skeptically. “They only sent one guy?”, he asked. The man stepped down, readying his very large rifle. “You only got one brawl, don’t ya?”, he answered. Dad hung back and watched. The man walked into the bar, put a table back up, stood on it and fired just one shot towards the ceiling. Instant. Silence. Then he shouted “CLEAR THE F**K OUT!!!” People were scrambling over each other to get to the door. Once everyone was out, the man left, just as calmly as he had arrived. Dad could only gawk in astonishment.
First story, that is funny malicious compliance. He thought he was going to be in trouble, but instead, the Chief got an excuse to not sit in his desk and show what happens if you screw with the marines.
I'm a veteran myself. Airforce in my first hitch, Navy in my second. A "Mustang" is an officer who began as an enlisted man. Usually great officers, as they know how things are for us enlisteds. And in this story, I could easily see my old Senior Chief doing this. I once had an MAA (Master At Arns, or Navy cop) confiscate my Buck Knife I wore in a belt pouch. Got back to the ship, we were sailing in a couple hours. I told my Senior Chief, he quickly went to the MAA Office and got my knife back. You don't screw with an E8! 😂
On that second one, that's when they then still turn you down for the promotion for "not showing initiative", or "not being a team player". Which is why you always get any new directives in writing.
Union got involved as protection.
@@madgevanness4011 That's good. I'm glad the union was there for OP. I kinda meant more in general for companies here, though I suppose that's limited to ones without a good union.
the tenant story: sorry, but I think OP is annoying as hell and is a shitty person (a thousand dollars/month is riduculous for a room that doesn't even have a door to the bathroom). the tenant is also a shitty person for allowing a girl stay all the time without contributing or paying rent. i hate these situations because people like OP treat their tenants like robots and want to pretend they don't exist. while the tenant wants a space for themselves and not feel caged in
Story 3: never mess with a petty person, ops house, ops rules even with a lease agreement
No, lease agreement trumps everything else. Op probably should have written the guest terms in the lease instead of just expecting the guy to pay extra because he didn't like that dude had a guest. Or he should have sucked it up for 6 months.
@@yougosquishnow indeed. And OP began to follow the the lease agreement to the letter in return. Fight fire with fire.
If the guest wanna follow to the letter, they don't get any benefits outside what is written.
@@yougosquishnow verbal agreements, which had, are upheld in MOST courts. Also, Gina was, at that point, being an illegal tenant, he have had her trespassed and warned Tony that he'll keep doing if Tony keeps pulling this shit. NOTHING was actually in Tony's favor here, not even the lease.
Counter point, it’s not just OP’s house anymore dude. Once you start accepting money to let someone live there that becomes their space as well and you don’t really get to have much of a day in what they do. You can’t just treat someone like a 15 year old and say “you can only have friends over twice a month” if they’re literally paying you to live there that’s asinine. It honestly sounds more like a scummy control freak landlord on a power trip even if Tony was a massive douchebag
@@gengar618 Counter point to your counter point, they had an agreement that OP can prove in court to not do exactly what Tony was doing.
I loathe the NOT MY JOB mentality. Both from workers and management. Workers willing to work, and try anything are treasures. Managers should fosters, support and train them. I took what I thought was a temp job, doing grunt work in an electronics job, cleaning, keeping things in order, basic repetitive type tasks. "Not my job" was not in my vocabulary, boses would give me tasks, I'd figure them out ask questions and get it done. Bosses sent me to technical trainings. Now I work in highly compensated position, requires a EE degree, which I don't have. My sister started a company as a receptionist, she left where here division was sold off.

In the story with the lease agreement, the answer is to trespass gina. She's not on the lease you can have her kicked out.
Depends on the state. Guests are allowed by implication on many lease agreements if you can show they're not moved in.
It's fine to follow the lease agreement as written, that's why they exist, though--however, again, in a lot of states, one has to be extremely careful as a landlord. Tenants have rights.
I don't think he can. Tennents are allowed visitors.
Tenant story is just Op committing crimes and Tony sticking up for his inalienable rights as tenant.
Story 2 - I was stuck in a similar position. I was at that company for nearly 13 years, and was dead-ended in a position where people saw me as "too critical to the role to move". My direct manager was frustrated for me, because she saw the shenanigans happening higher up to justify never promoting me, even though she thought I deserved it. They blocked her requests every time. So I moved myself out of that role and straight out of that company. The department, that had garnered so much prestige because of me and my work, basically collapsed into obscurity for a long time. Oops!
Bouncers are either really chill or really huge D-bags who can only beat up drunk people and people smaller than them. There is no in between.
Bad roommate:
OP sounds like an asshole. So long as the roommate's various companions aren't bringing in drugs, causing damage, or keeping OP awake all night with loud sex, it 1000% none of OP's business. Gin was right, OP wrote a bad lease. All rights and responsibilities should be laid out in the written agreement, not made in a handshake side agreement. Now, if you become close friends with your roommate, things might change, but with a new tenant, you should be very clear who can and should do what.
Bouncer: This is mine now. 20 bucks and it's back to you.
Marine: I'll be back.
Bouncer: this is mine now, 20 bucks or I'm keeping it
OP: 😏🫡
Tenant issues: if it's in the add and mentioined during showing, but isn't in the lease, then it's not enforceable. This guy can have over as many women as he wants. OP tries to extort him for more money to be quite? What a loser.
Story 1: All my favorite bars are sans military. 😂😂
I really like the malicious compliance Reddit forum, and I appreciate that Dabney reads them to us. I typically agree with his sentiment too… unfortunately… I feel like his “murica” voice was a little disrespectful after the story.
Troops have been disrespected for a long time. Look back to the personnel coming back from Vietnam that were literally spit on. We still see it today, in different forms. Not getting the help they need for PTSD, etc. We see a disproportionate amount of military suicides, homelessness, etc.
This was, of course, a funny malicious compliance story, but… in no way are we a “respect the military or get out” country… maybe we should be? 🤷🏻♀️
First two stories really made me smile. Third story OP sounds incredibly petty because his roommate was popular. Last story made me smile again.
As a landlord, always put everything you want in the rules in the lease agreement. A lot of people complain about bad landlords, but no one talk about bad tenants. I bet a lot of people who complained about bad landlords are actually bad tenants
That landlord is a controlling pos
story 3, im not sure but op might be breaking a tenanth law. what op might have been able to do was to sey that the woman wasent welcome because she is not a tenant but asking a lawyer would have been best to avoid any legal trouble
Most definitely broke laws. Too many damn people rent out houses/rooms without even glancing over local/state laws regarding landlording. Op is going to legally reamed when he tries that shit on the wrong person.
She isn't a tenant. Simple solution would be to call the police and have her trespassed if she wouldn't leave.
@@sintanan469because the guest arrangement isn’t on the lease it might be not be that simple but idk
The rights of tenants to have guests may be included in local landlord/tenant laws. The landlord is responsible for a LOT more than is in the lease agreement.
For the lease agreement, a verbal agreement is equally binding to a signed agreement, so as it was in the ad, and discussed beforehand, that is actually as binding as if it was on the paper.
The only difference is that it is much harder to prove the verbal agreement than it is the written.
Not true, if you have a written agreement you can’t add on extra verbal stuff to it. Verbal agreements do mean something, but not as add-ons to contracts.
I've been watching you daily for about 4 years. Thank you for being such an integral part of my morning routine Dabney! We ❤ you :)
I’m on Tony’s side, why do landlords think they get to micromanage your life
because they think they are gods. if it not in the lease that you cant have visitors more than twice a month, then you can visitors 24/7 if thats what you want
The story about the landlord should not be played like a ‘both parties suck’ situation. The dude was a dick who drove out a tenant because he was treating the place like he lived there; because he fucking did.
I have officially watched every single video on your channel as of today. Now what am I supposed to listen to while I craft! 😭
Not a special number or anything but, 172nd like! I'm not usually this early lol
Imagine pissing off the military so bad they raid you at your work place, weapons and all.
Good morning, all! Hope you have a great day!
The tenant story, the OP is toxic... OP is the AH.
The landlord was in the wrong. If you want to make rules, you need to put it in the lease.
Dude had an illegal lease agreement
Well he yeah he gave up on the guest situation didnt he. He was fine with it later on. But he just followed the lease instead :)
Funny thing is a lot of the people shouting "support our troops" are the same ones to say "fuck off" when they ask for any kind of help.
The moral of the second story, kids, is to unionize.
blud thinks i'll feel bad for a landlord
1- Why would you F with a military member when you're so close to a military base?
Cause many bouncers (not all but many) are not very bright and some of them definitely think "oh this is a kid I can easily scam"
@@callanightshade8079LOL! I guess he F-ed around and found out!
Framed differently, the landlord story could be a story about a horrible landlord screwing over his roommate
Story 3: I feel like everyone is hating OP because “landlords are bad” is such a common thing.
Regardless of your opinion on landlords. OP was functioning on the idea of lease agreement + spoken agreement equals understood living arrangements.
The other dude clarified the rules by saying “no its just the lease agreement I am following”. Actions have consequences. He cannot want to be strict on the lease agreement and not expect possibly negative repercussions.
There is no such thing as a good landlord. Your daily reminder.
I typically listen at night. I find his voice very soothing.
Might be an unpopular opinion but I don’t really sympathize with the landlord in the third story at all
me neither, if he was so hung up on it, put it in the fucking lease
@@weybye91 or y'know, be a good little boy and stick to the basic agreement. At the end of the day, OP didn't ask for a 2nd tenant who is using his utilities and not paying rent. Sucks to suck, don't be an imbecile.

> Ignores girl's answer.
Landlord, alright
With the tenant story, I haven't finished it yet but couldn't he have Gina trespassed? She's not covered by the lease agreement. No rule about guests means he's not entitled to have them either, he can't kick his tenant out, that's it.
I would love to have seen that whole scene go down at the bar in the top gun sequel lol!!!
if it isnt in the lease agreement you have no authority to tell someone who they can or cant have in their apartment
Hasn't the one with the military and the bouncer been done before?
I worked as a bouncer, and have dealt with the military types, those guys will NEVER start a fight....but they are magnets for it. That being said, while I worked as a bouncer I never had to throw out a service man. But I did have the privilege of dealing with the fallout
What is said in an ad isn't binding if it's not in the lease. The landlord acted like a jerk.
That's right it wasnt on the lease but it was stated in the ad plus verbally told and agreed to by tony which means Tonys word is not worth shit.
@@glennrishton5679 Legally, the tenant was right, however, both were immature and clueless as to how to behave.
Story 3: Actually, depending on where they live, only OP is being compliant. Most places recognize verbal agreements as the same as written contracts, so long as you can prove both sides agreed and getting this douche bag admit to it, on a recording or even in the court room, won't be hard.
Not true if you have a written lease, it’s bound by the four corners of that of that contract, verbal agreements don’t hold up in comparison now if you have just a verbal agreement, it can be up-held, but when you have a written lease, there can’t be any other verbal agreements it’s only that written lease.
@@katlynnmyers5927 It is if the verbal agreement is on top of the lease.
@@black1917That’s exactly what he just said is not the case.
@@damianchristopher205 Except that according to OP in the story it is.
@@black1917 I just saying that your reply wasn’t an argument for your point, you just said the opposite of what he said. You might as well have just replied “nuh uh”
Tenant story is a good reminder that your own weapon or attack may be used against you.
I have a similar story in High School. I was in my Sophomore year, and new to the school. The school has strict rules that if you have a fake ID, it is grounds for arrest and maybe expulsion, and the ID will be taken away. I was at the library, producing my Student ID, when my MILITARY DEPENDENT ID also falls out. One of the teacher, who is a little bit of a cruel to many students saw it and started to confront me about it. The Principal and the School's Student Resource Officer came. She had a smug look on her face. But the Student Resource Officer said that the ID I have is real. "My Sister, and her kids have those, because they are Military Family." He said. The students started laughing at her. She was so embarrassed, that she transferred to a different school district. I temporarily became popular, for getting rid of a dislike teacher.
