I'm handicapped myself (I have trouble walking and balance but I try not to use the handicapped parking since I know people who need it more). I was cranky and decided "you know what? Screw it."
1 of my friends is an emt …. He had to park close to the back door of an apartment complex as he could because a woman was going into labor … ( turns out to everyone being surprised because she had twins and nobody knew) well right before my friend turns the ambulance into the parking area by the back door, a woman with a van cuts them off, slammed on her brakes to a stop and got out. Storms inside and didn’t come out. Well not only was she in a fire lane, but a passing police car stopped and talked to my friend. Well she got a ticket. The police officer is her husband. The look on her face seeing her own husband ticket her and then seeing my friend ( the emt, now trying to use a gurney around her car with the pregnant woman who by now is in pain shouting her baby is coming. The woman is shocked because? My friend was the best man at her wedding, her police officer husband reminded her about emergency vehicles and that they have a job to do. She’s divorced now. My friend ( the emt) told me about how she stormed into the complex because her husband suspected her of cheating with her ex who lived in the complex. Sometimes park in a normal parking space. And be faithful
Anyone who has ever worked in a hospital with inadequate parking knows this very well. She was actually lucky they were kind and didn't make her wait the full time or just call security and have her towed.
Doesn’t the words “private property” mean anything to people anymore. And thank you for saying that this 75 year old man was nit senile - I am 75 and pushing 76 and I’m not senile or even slightly handicapped . Unfortunately though some of us this age or so are just plain jackasses!!!
Story 4: This is beyond ridiculous! Just because 2 people walk into a liquor store at the same time does NOT mean they are together! Seriously the manager ect knew they were in the wrong & doubling down to cover their asses! OP was awesome with his revenge though!!
@@katta309 I agree however OP didn't say if that person tried to purchase anything! The entire thing is beyond ridiculous & while extremely petty OP's revenge was awesome lol
Depends on where and what the laws are....merely walking in at the same time isn't enough....conversation or ESPECIALLY a change of hands of money.....even same car exited....if you have reasonable suspicion a minor is going to be given access you have to deny the sale....has to be reasonable
What makes it worse is them pushing buttons to try and turn on lights, that caused the gate to close. So, not only are you parking on my property, you feel you have the right to run up my electric bill? No remote for you. Call an Uber.
I personally think OP did the right thing giving them the remote. A christmas present I guess you could say. However, if it happened again. Make em wait.
OP & the remote to his driveway fence: I wouldn't have given them the remote either. I would have told them, "you parked on my property illegally, yet again, & I'm not going out of my way to help you out."
He wasn't there when he got the report an hour ago. OP called the non-emergency line, the police showed up within a non-emergency timeframe, that night it was over an hour. Not that it matters, parking there is illegal for five minutes too and since the ticket's value is designed as a deterrent I don't think there's any state that scales down the size of the penalty based on the length of the infraction.
@@shadowwriter329 Huh.... explain that joke. So the police officer lies about being on site when the report comes in and he lies about just standing around for an hour... and that's funny because?
A few years ago we had an issue with the neighbors that thought it was perfectly okay for them to use part of our property and driveway as their personal circle driveway. They were tearing up part of the yard. My husband told them not to do it. Of course they didn't listen. So he got a bunch of cement blocks and blocked that area and let them know if they moved one block he would call the police for them trespassing and theft. Thankfully because they got kicked out of the house by the landlord for failure to pay rent, that headache was gone.
I’ve worked in convenience stores before. Yes if there are other people in the party then all people must show ID. But you have to use common sense. Just because 2 people walk in at the same time does not mean they are together. That was absolute nonsense on the stores part. Good for the customer on the revenge. Hilarious and deserved.
Story 3. All the drama with the neighbour’s father’s car could possibly have been avoided if the old man had simply approached the driveway owner first and asked politely if he could occasionally park there when visiting his son. Manners go a long way in avoiding conflict.
I wonder, was the old man going out to the street, down the wall and up the other driveway, or just cutting through the yard? My town doesn't require you to have a mailbox on the street (no good place to put one). The carriers park and walk back and forth each block. On my block, he parks on a side street to the east, then cuts straight across my front yard. I don't mind, that's a lot of walking. But one year, this guy had never figured out how game trails get created 😀 I just caught him one day, showed him the runt in my grass and asked it he could vary where he walked. He was horrified. The grass wasn't destroyed but this rut must have been 3 inches deep and five wide!
Story 4: Geez, you sometimes gotta wonder how some people are still working as a manager, associate, etc. after causing this sort of drama. There definitely is the case of a power trip, someone just trying to show off and belittle someone, and it blew up in their face in the form of losing $10K
Not losing $10k, but losing all the other sales that the popular wine would have brought, and also the goodwill of the customers as well, because they can see the wine, but get told they cannot buy it. The $10k sale was refunded, and seeing as it was in the same month, the OP lost nothing, but the store lost both times in having a processing fee on each transaction, plus a big black mark on the sales records as well. That the manager was likely rushing around filling the order both times was likely just the icing on the cake.
Oh my god the 4th story is diabolically genius. Im a retail and restaurant wine specialist and I am literally CRYING with laughter at how clever this was. NOT THE TITOS. PEOPLE WILL FIGHT YOU LMAO
As a shop worker who did the picking for that kind of curbside pickup, I feel _pain_ thinking how much work it would have been to pull that order together. In fact, I _picked_ that kind of order once: two full-size carts full of fizzy drinks, party food, crisps, nuts sweets... Fuckers never came to pick it up. It was a week before Christmas, I'd spent the better part of two _hours_ on that order - mainly because I also had to field customer questions when I was picking, and the next day I had to put it _all_ back. As a shop worker who _also_ knows how to read an ID and would check with security to see if people were together _before_ refusing service on the grounds that the whole party wasn't there: good for you, OP! Smash their faces into their dumbass policy until they bleed!
Observation: Lazy good-for-nothings who illegally park in the handicapped spot deserve a 4-digit fine. This nonsense needs to hurt because some people don't learn their lesson until it hurts them in the wallet.
nah give them a 4 digit fine on top of forcing them to learn what it's like to be a disabled person in a world that hates you. I'd be raging at that dude bc my friend and i are both disabled but they can't walk very far without being in pain
@@sesshomaruslover1 I meant the entitled dude from the story. I get mad when able bodied people don't understand the pain their actions put other people through.
The neighbor story: about 4 years ago had a neighbor several units down from me had his elderly father visit after they'd moved in a bit before. Main issue was the old man was stubborn AF and just couldn't be bothered to park in a legal visitor spot and instead would just pull up in front of the house in the middle of the traffic lane,shut off the engine and go in. The issue with this is first my street is a circle with a stem street leading to the main street out of the complex and the new neighbors lived right where the circle meets the stem and second with legal parking on the side of the street his parking directly in the middle the old man effectively blocks all traffic in or out of of the street unless you happened to be on the free side of where he parked. I found myself stuck twice in as many days by the old man's parking job once in and once out with approximately 20 30 minutes of laying on the horn until the old duffer decided to get off his ass and move his car or the son moved it but on the second time I called the son over and explained I get trapped in or out by his father again I wouldn't be out there on the horn but instead would call the number of the complex's towing service clearly displayed on signs all through the neighborhood. A few weeks passed and it looked like maybe the son had impressed on the old man to park elsewhere but after about 3 weeks later later leaving for some errands and there's the the old man's car once again blocking the street but unfortunately for the old man one of the vehicles apparently that tried to use the street was a county deputy on patrol and the old man's car was already on the hook and ready to roll.
@@Rat-Builder overzealous tow jockey trying to make quota hooked my late wife's vehicle about 2006 claiming she'd parked on the grass ( walked past it and the shotgun side front was up on the curb but not grass) and that was 350 to get it back so I got to figure that had to have gone up 12 13 years later
@@garysprandel1817 My tow service was too slow so the police used theirs. Cost me $600 2 years ago. And that was a 10 mi tow, next day pickup in a small town. Can't imagine the city fees.
Too far to walk? How many disabled people would give everything they owned to be able to walk across that parking lot and not need HC parking? I happen to be one of them. Thanks for reporting the offenders, OP!
Story 4: OP IS A ASSHOLE 😆 I FREAKING LOVE IT!!! Oh man I know what it's like to have a young face (I'm 25 and yet I look like I'm 18 because of short hight and baby face as my mom calls it) it's why I had to grow a beard to even let people know I'm grown
In all seriousness, if the customer showed you the ID, and the face matches with the appropriate date, why doesn't that manager believe him? And 30 minutes? That should be lone enough to assume that they aren't in a party. Those two managers are have walnut for a brain.
I too have a young face, but I don't drink, so I do not get ID checked much. But, about that baby face. When I retired at 65, I was getting some paperwork from the clerk in the office. I had worked with her every day for 8 years. She saw what I was getting as far as paperwork, and asked me how old I was. I told her 65. She had a shocked look on her face and then said, "I had no idea." I will admit, that felt good. I am now 75, but I feel that age is just a number. I still ride a dirt bike, for heaven's sake. You will enjoy your young looks as you get older. At least I have.
@@Rat-Builder This reminds me of a story my dad told me recently. He had gotten a new job and was talking to his coworker, mentions hes 55. They go "Oh dude Im sorry... Ive been telling people that I work with a 75 year old man." r.i.p. my dads ego.
@@stygiandragon3865 so as someone who works retail and deals with tobacco sales there's more than just the face and appropriate date when looking over an ID (though considering this was a legal ID it would've met all those requirements anyway). And two people coming I'm at the same time would be something to look at but would need more than just that to make me deny a sale. More specifically them seeming to talk in the store/the trading of money before it'd make me suspicious.
Story Three: Agreed. Totally wouldn't give them the remote. They can wait until Tuesday. (The ONLY exception would of course be if it wasn't just the cars trapped, but the people. But even then I'd make them come to me to get it.)
If the people were "trapped", then they could call a cab, no? I'd have vehemently refused to give the remote (I wouldn't even tell them I had one). Serves the buggers right.
@@hrobinson9701 It was just a hypothetical. That IF, somehow, they were trapped too, I wouldn't have the option to ignore them for days. (If only for legal reasons.) But I'd still insist someone on the outside come to me.
You know for the final story op should have called the cops. As not checking everyone's ID was illegal of that location. The cops would have forced them to shut down the location and have all the store take classes as well as giving corporate a huge fine and if it turns out the way they did the ID checking allowed alcohol to get in the hands of minors. God help them corporate would have fired everyone in that damn store
Like minors getting access can still happen with the of age participant just going alone. However this whole "they walked in with you" gets thrown out if those 2 people never conversate with each other. I have had this happen to me before with a friend who was of age but buying their own liquor. They asked for both of our ID's when one of us went to the register.
I completely agree! I would have and she should have called the Cops right there and then at the store! Those kind of managers should be taken out and - well, y’all know the word!!!!
I was a hospital chaplain for a season at a rather large hospital that had the main campus, a secondary campus, and a second hospital (three in total). We had 24 hour chaplain services. During the day/evening, we had about 8 chaplains in the buildings doing patient rounds and stuff. We only had one chaplain overnight who was on-call. The chaplains that lived within a 15 minute response time could go home and sleep overnight. Several of us lived outside that 15 minute window so had to sleep at the hospital's main campus. When we worked the daytime shift, we had to park in normal employee parking. When we pulled the 24 hour on-call shift, we got to park in a designated on-call chaplain space. Remember, we had 3 facilities to cover with 1 person. There were several times that a car, an employee car, was parked in the on-call chaplain spot. That sure added to the response time when I had to travel to one of the other facilities in the middle of the night. Grrr...
That's when you take license plate and report it to all of the departments and escalate it if necessary ..... all the way to the office of the top honcho, whether that be chief of staff, or the hospital administrator. Along with a note left under the front wiper notifying them that their tag number has been reported for parking in a reserved space ..... not reserved for them.
I worked at a facility like that. I was a traveler and got confused where I was allowed to park. Security literally stopped on my way out of the lot after my third tour and when I said I didn't realize, they took my on a guided tour to show me where it was okay to park. I appreciated. But I would never ignore a sign designating an emergency staff spot.
Lol, I have my own liquor store ID nightmare story. Unfortunately no petty revenge achieved, just some mild comeuppance. I was teaching 7th grade at the time, and I don't remember exactly what was going on at that time of year, but I wound up not leaving work until almost nine. And it had been a profoundly horrible day with crap going on with some students and my abusive boss threatening me instead of helping me out, and I was coming down with something and had no voice left and just desperately needed tequila and lemons to add to my chamomile with honey. Swung into the liquor store like five minutes down the road from the middle school, dressed like, y'know, a teacher. Khakis with dry erase gunk all over them, button-down with dry erase gunk all over it, pink cardigan, sensible shoes. SCHOOL LANYARD WITH TEACHER BADGE. I stagger inside, and the guy at the register immediately starts following me around. I figure, fair enough. It's almost nine at night, I have knee and hip problems, so I am very literally staggering, he's probably just being cautious, trying to figure out whether I've already been drinking. I grab a bottle of middling tequila, something decent enough that I don't have to reserve it for when I have no sense of taste, and creep up to the counter. Slide the bottle, my ID, and my card across the counter. The guy comes back around the counter with this sneer of just absolute disdain, gives my ID a split-second glance, goes "Nice try, kid," and cuts it in half in front of me. Then he makes eye contact and GRINS as he hits the electric lock on the doors. If it was any other time, I probably would have started to panic at that point, because as far as I could tell, we were the only two people in the store, and he just locked me in, and it was pitch black out. But I was maybe three-quarters of a neuron away from braindead, and I just flat did not understand what was happening. I was like "... bro. What...?" And he goes on this absolute TIRADE about how crappy my fake ID was and he KNOWS I go to the high school down the road in the other direction from the middle school, and putting all the kids like me in jail is what's going to make America great again. Not to stereotype or anything, but he did not look like he belonged to the usual demographic for that sentiment, plus I would guess he was easily only just out of high school, himself. I was twenty-five, and yeah, I was still occasionally offered kid's menus at restaurants, but no one had ever just flat REFUSED to believe my ID when I showed one. Like, holy crap. And, as I have mentioned, I had no voice. He's going on and on and on about what a blight entitled little millennials are (Yes. I am a millennial. So was he, or possibly Gen Z.) and that he's performing a citizen's arrest. I kept trying to butt in, but he probably genuinely couldn't hear me, and I finally reached for the pieces of my ID. I don't have any idea what I thought I was going to do with them, but I was freaking moribund at that point. He flings them off the counter and yells that I tried to attack him. And then he calls the cops. It's all kind of a blur from there. I was sick and exhausted and rapidly developing a migraine, so my actual ability to see and hear and stand upright was deteriorating, but I remember him telling the dispatcher that he was cornered in the store by a teenager he had identified by their clothing as a gang member. (Pink... cardigan? Like okay, yes, I would be willing to join that gang.) Dispatcher must have told him that an officer was currently passing by or something, because he releases the magnetic locks on the doors, and I'm like, "Dude, bye. You're a lunatic, and I'm out of here," but an officer walks in while I'm headed for the doors. And this is where a GOOD story would reach a cool and satisfying climax, but it just kind of peters out. The cop honestly looks more annoyed than anything. Considering he was told there was a violent gang member in the store, and in that part of the state, that means cartels, he was completely unconcerned. Didn't even touch his sidearm, so in hindsight, that probably should have been my first clue that this was going to be done with without any problems. He looks me over, looks at the counter guy, and he's like "THIS is who's threatening you?" (I think I was close to crying if not crying already. I was maybe half as menacing as a damp kleenex.) Guy tries to explain about my ID and how I tried to vault the counter to strangle him or some bull. Cop picks up my credit card and the pieces of my ID, looks at the ID and at the school ID on my lanyard, tells me to go home. I don't THINK he gave me his card or anything, but it's entirely possible he did and I just never found it again. I do think he offered to take me home, because I looked like seagull vomit, and I probably should have let him, but apparently I didn't. As I was walking out, he was telling the guy that unauthorized destruction of a state-issued ID is a crime, and I definitely remember hearing the word "AGAIN," but I left before seeing what came of it. Apparently this was not the first call of this kind he had made. I kind of hope he wasn't arrested or anything, because he clearly needed therapy and medication to have that weird of a reaction to assuming someone was trying to pass a fake ID. I had to pay to have my ID replaced. :< But I also found the bottle of tequila in my passenger seat, and I genuinely don't remember how it got there and I definitely didn't pay for it, so I'm assuming the cop handed it to my migraine-addled self and I just took it reflexively. I did have a tidy little pile of sick days collected, and I laid around drinking tea-quila with honey and lemon and not moving at all until I felt better. FIN.
I wish you could've sued. You're right that cutting a legal ID is illegal, and it sounded like a pattern. That man shouldn't be selling alcohol, and the store could've lost their license and a ton of other fees. Not to mention, he assaulted you. It would've been on camera. I'm sorry that happened, and I hope you are both feeling better, and in a better place professionally.
Hope you're feeling better now. Once you're able to do so, contact the ATF. I'm sure they'll take an interest in a liquor store that either refuses or cannot determine the difference between actual and falsified identification documents. Got a feeling that the person in question probably sells to minors, possibly in exchange for certain "favors".
@@tsherwoodrzero I really should have done, but it's been like... eight or nine years now. I strongly doubt that guy is still working there, and I imagine that since he apparently had already made himself actively annoying to the local cops, they probably took care of whatever needed taking care of. I'm actually not even sure they're still open, but now I'm curious. Going to have to check on that the next time I'm down that way.
Ugh I hate when people park where they’re not supposed to. I see it at the mall. The mall has a parking garage where the top is only open during Christmas or if there’s a big event in the open parking (we had a fair and a circus this last summer). So underneath is covered parking. There are signs all over the driving part, don’t park here, towing zone, fire lane. And since I like that particular entrance I usually look for a spot in that area. It’s such a piss off to see a vehicle blocking the driving lanes and sitting under a five foot long sign saying NO PARKING next to a sign on the pillars saying TOW ZONE. And every time there’s tons of parking. The worst part? It’s at the back of the lot. They’re not even doing it because it’s close and they don’t want to walk. They just don’t see the giant signs. They’re so oblivious to the world around them they don’t even notice they’re not parking in a parking stall
Notice for the first story, the lady who parked was told not to park there, said she would just be quick, but didn't get in touch with anyone until over 6 hours later?! In what world is that quick?
I live in a townhouse and had a moving van block my driveway all day. They acted very entitled when I asked them to move. I was very angry, but only because I couldn’t use my driveway but my wife was working from home and if there was an emergency (such as our toddler son getting sick or hurt at school), she wouldn’t have been able to get out. The guy truck driver first said we weren’t home all day. Not true. We have a doorbell camera, we would have known if he checked to see if we were home. Then he tried to argue that it’s a public street so he’s allowed to park there and is only moving as a courtesy. In retrospect I should have just called the cops, but I did leave his company a one star Yelp review
Years ago on my way home from work there would always be all these guys in white vans with the same logo, at a convenience store. They were not only blocking most of the lot and store access, but the wheelchair ramp and usually the handicapped spot. Every weekday morning. Once I parked and waited and they were there over half an hour, drinking coffee, eating and also violating the smoking ordinance. A single call to the owner sorted it. It was a small business, luckily. I saw those vans again but never a bunch together and causing problems for other patrons.
@@danpeters6874, I agree. That's why I narked. But I tried the owner first because he would have borne the brunt. If he'd blown it off, cops would have been next.
Story 3 - I'd have done what they used to do in a privately-run parking lot in the city where I used to live. If you parked there without paying, they had a huge barrel that they'd chain to your rear bumper. There was no way you could drive your car with that barrel attached, and they wouldn't remove it unless you paid them a big fine.
Depends on the area. Out here in the sticks, half the vehicles could push, pull, or flatten that barrel no problem unless it was ballasted. (Concrete is best because it can't be emptied, although sand or water will still work.) And even that might not be enough for some of the dually one-tons.
@@citizenken7069 Against cars, light trucks, and crossovers, absolutely. Against full-size trucks, not so much. I've accidentally shifted my entire *house,* foundation and all, by bumping my cement front porch with the hitch. This was with only a half-ton, riding the brakes, without feeling a damn thing.
@@citizenken7069 It almost certainly can be done, it's just not going to be particularly easy out here. The problem is that the impediment needs to be mobile enough to be affixed to the offending vehicle. And if it's that mobile, it's probably going to be too light for weight alone to stop a truck. It needs something besides raw weight to achieve that. If it was a static setup, that'd actually be pretty easy. Bollards are solid poles rooted to a city block, and can stop a runaway dump truck when properly installed. They're just not mobile. At all.
This is why my 80 year old grandpa on oxygen tries to avoid using his placard. He can barely walk 20 feet without problems but he points out that there are people who need it more than him.
Story #1: The most important rule ever that you need to follow is to never, ever tick off your co-workers, especially those who could make your life so miserable that you would have to grovel an apology before leaving for another job. Same rule often applies if you're just a Joe Schmoe and you have to deal with a government employee on any level (especially DMV or IRS).
Love that second story. I don’t have a placard but I need to apply for one. I have a walker and it’s very hard to walk even with that I’d never take a handicap spot .
I totally get the prettiness of the wine story. I once went to buy a bottle of rum for a party and had my friend's son with me who wanted to get some snacks for himself and came for the trip to Meijer. We got a few things and as I went to check out they not only asked for my ID but his. I said he is only 11! They said they couldn't sell it to me because he didn't have ID. It was ridiculous. That policy has to go!
Park in my driveway and get your car(s) trapped? Yeah, I'm now, conveniently 2,000 miles away in a mountain cabin that is snowed in. "Good LUCK!" will be my final words before asking my parents if I can stay the night with them for a few nights at their house across town to let it sink in. Then again I'm an unapologetic AH that is petty AF.
Should NOT have given the remote. You can bet the father didn't make the trip for the remote! So he wasn't being put out. I'll bet he still tries to mess with that drive way.
I angered some of my neighbors when I came out of my house to find them parking in my round about driveway. They kept saying "oh it will just be a minute", and I told them hell no, I am trying to leave for work. You need to move now and stay off my property
Story #3: Do NOT give the remote! If need be open the gate online (via code). I feel that the odds that they will give back the remote are extremely slim!!!
How would you open it via code online? I would assume that the keypad is hardlined to the gate, without an internet connection to said keypad. At least, that's how I would design such a system.
@@TheAttacker732 A lot of systems now have a way for it to be opened via online. To allow response for emergencies without having to break open the gate. (Burst water pipe for example) However, it is a multiple step process for security. (I was assuming it was a newer system)
After I got the gate remote back I would recode the remotes and gate. Just in case they bought a remote and coded it so they could use the driveway when you're gone

My husband forgot his wallet/I was paying for stuff anyway at Walmart. He’s actually 7 years older than me. I got carded and then they refused to sell bc he didn’t have his ID 🤦🏼♀️ I was so irritated.
Most tow trucks I've worked with don't charge a huge amount because they get paid via the like 400+ dollars the other person has to pay to get their car out of impound.
Many, many mooons ago, I went to our local K-mart. Outside, some idiot had parked a yellow convertible sports car diagonally blocking TWO handicapped spaces. No plates or placard. When I came out awhile later, the car was still there- but some concerned citizen had run not one, but a fistful of keys, from the front bumper to the back bumper.
Last Story - That one reminded me of the time I got to pull my own bit of credit card malicious compliance, when the sales manager at a motorcycle shop was pulling some petty flexing bullshit on me. He had been giving me grief all along, though my salesman was a friend. The day I was supposed to pick the bike up was the day before I was going on a vacation, riding around northeastern Ontario, Canada. The sales manager was saying that my financing hadn't gone through yet so I couldn't take the bike, with a smarmy little grin on his face. I pulled out my wallet and tossed two credit cards on the desk (one of them a VISA Black; line of credit) saying, "Take it out of one of those then." Amazing how quickly things got sorted out when he recognized that his kickback from the lender was about to evaporate. The smile went away even quicker. I never bought from that shop again (went to a BMW dealer instead).
I would have paid money to see the look on his face. I would have went back a couple of years later and asked the owner of the business if the sales manager was still there. If he said yes, I would have said, well if that is the case, I will buy my bike from someone else.
@@Rat-Builder - I had an even better opportunity. The sales manager who eventually replaced him, a few months before that dealership went under, became the general manager of another dealership that I was looking to buy a bike from. I got a voicemail from them asking if I was still interested in the bike, a few days later, and it was the sales manager of the new shop; the same guy who gave me grief at the old shop. I emailed their general email address and said that if this guy was working for them, then I didn't want to deal with them. The general manager called me back and asked what he could do to save the deal. My response was that he would have to make sure that the sales manager didn't get anywhere near the deal and make it worth my while. He came through on both counts.
I am handicapped and have a legal placard. You have no idea how many times I'm forced to park way down the isle only to discover the cars parked in the handicapped spots have no placard or plates with the symbol on it. It's frustrating to say the least. I struggle walking and to see people who park there illegally really pisses me off. Please be kind and don't park in clearly marked handicapped spaces if you do not have a placard or plate. By the time I made it to the store entrance I had to sit for a bit to ease the pain from my spine so I could get food for myself.
Story 1: After Karen called to complain THREE times...OP should have just waited until end of shift to move their car. I sure would have...but then...I'm petty as hell against idiots :) Story 3: If this happened in the US then the police lied to OP. The cops...and OP...can most certainly have it towed at the owner of the car's expense. The cops are just shirking.

I went in, asked for a case to carry them (as I buy 6-12 at a time), and went to check out. The cashier asked for my ID and I made a joke about how 'I didnt know you had to be 21 to buy soda'...the cashier called a manager who said I had to be 21 to ENTER the store, and 21 to BUY things from the store. I told him that i've been buying the soda from here since I was 15 and coming with my mom and aunt. But he made me go outside and get my mom to have HER make the purchase. I havent been to that Bevmo since..
Story 1: I would have involved her department head. That place was reserved for a specialist, meaning seconds matter. Being one whose supposed to know this, as a medical professional, Karen potentially put people's lives at stake for her poor time management.
Seconds don't matter for *labs*, except perhaps ABGs. Most of the time they won't even draw blood until the tech is there. Not saying that RN was right, quite the opposite. But it's not as dramatic as all that. Even if it was, anyone else would do what OP did.
Story 3, I'd have gotten some car boots from Walmart or online along with some no-trespassing/private property signs warning people you will be booted if caught parking without permission from the land owner. And then waited for them to do it again. But this time they'd have to deal with the boot and pay to have the boots taken off. I'm pretty sure $300 a day cash only would be a good incentive to not do it again. With a potential ahole tax added if they got pissy or called the cops because of their entitlement.
Story 2: they should give the people who report people parked illegally a finders fee. You know a little reward for doing the right thing and encourage others to report these entitled pricks.
I once went to a Total Wine near an anime con with some of our friends. All of us are drinking age, but i simply don't drink (i have bad reactions to almost all hard liquors and beers/ciders). I only tagged along because, well, it beats wandering on my own or just hanging in the room. However, i do have a bit of a baby face (even though i was in cosplay with face paint), but i hadn't brought my wallet into the store since naïve me thought "it's not like i'm the one that's buying or drinking any of it." The girl at the checkout was nice enough, and told us she had to ID everyone in the group. Crap, my wallet is in the hotel room. The girl started saying we could leave and come back with everyone's IDs, but then a manager lady walked up with one hell of an aggressive attitude. She asked what was going on and we explained, and said we'd go back to our hotel room to grab my ID, but the manager started huffing and puffing and just jumped straight to "no, you can't come back, you're banned from the store for 24hrs". We were just kinda taken aback, because that seemed like an extreme reaction to one person not having an ID. We tried again to explain we just wanted to go get my ID, that we'd leave everything here and just come back for it, but she started getting louder about how we were banned and we weren't allowed to come back for at least 24hrs. Well, this was a Saturday night, so we obviously wouldn't be coming back at all since cons end on Sundays, so we just went "sure, whatever" and went to Walmart for alcohol. Sure, we couldn't grab any hard liquor, but lots of people in my friend group like beer and malt liquor drinks so it wasn't that big of a deal.
Story 2 . I'm handicapped , knees but i can still walk just painful, and rarely am I able to find a handicapped spot at wal-mart. I have a handicapped tag. All the spaces were taken with only three had tags. As I was walking this woman and her two kids came out of a car in a handicapped spot. Thankfully that's the only business that this happens where I live. Great parenting teaching your kids it's ok to do this behavior.
Let me guess. If you confronted her she would've used her kids as an excuse. "I need this spot! I chose to push out multiple crotch goblins so I deserve it!" GRRR...
I’ve heard that Total Wine story before on other channels…what idiot staff (I’m someone who works in liquor stores so I know all the weird rules for purchasing liquor) This store deserved ALL the revenge this guy exacted on them. What a giant screw up on the liquor store staff’s part! FYI Tito’s is heavy bottles so is Jim Beam and any kind of bubbles are super heavy.
Here's a good one. One fine Saturday morning, this man went to the grocery store down the road from my house. This store is always empty, very few cars and huge parking lot. This man decided parking lots of places in the mostly empty lot was too far to walk so he parked in the handicapped parking right next to the store. A patroling officer happened upon this car and saw no evidence of a permit. A parking ticket was issued. Here's where it all goes sideways, and I heard this go down over the police radio so I didn't see any of it. The man comes out of the store and argues about the ticket. The officer runs his license and whoa, this guy has multiple warrants and a code word for a dangerous person. Three other units immediately head to the scene, the guy gets arrested and the car is impounded. So this guy was in such a hurry, he got himself thrown in jail. Hope saving a short walk was worth it. The moral is, don't illegally park when you have warrants. And if you are getting a ticket, don't go outside and argue about it. Dummy.
Never give someone your remote because they can clone it and now have access to your gate every single day of the year!! Never ever give someone your remote!
The truck driver in story 2's attitude and words makes me think he probably thinks handicap people don't deserve rights or something. Like how do you deliberately take up a handicap spot (and then some) and then have the gall to verbally insult them?
I used to work at a building where you pay for monthly parking & your car number is basically hung on the wall. They also had security walk the lot every two hours or so, pretty hilarious because you'd think people would get that the word "reserved" with a car number plate below it meant no car but that particular car could park there. Yeah, people are dumb. Yes, you could also submit two car numbers and they'd have the plate reflected either car could park in the spot. This is usually because the person who got the spot have multiple cars or would occasionally switch cars with their spouse.
Story 4: What kind of BS reasoning is that?! "You came in at the same time, so you're a party"?! That's not the stupidest thing I've ever heard, but it's in the top ten.
I’m impressed the first story lady did not call a tow truck getting the technician car towed away 😂 (not that she could, but sometimes those truckers just do the job without asking or thinking too much)
Who carries their gate remote when they go on vacation? I would have just left it in the house. But, the neighbors/guests still couldn't get the gate open
Do you leave the garage door remote in your car, or in the house? Wether you are driving 10 miles away, or 1000 miles away, nobody removes their remote entry device.
About the alcohol, the issue is called a strawman purchase. I've worked at both a grocery store and Walmart as a cashier. The Walmart because very close to the college campus. So this is an issue I am very familiar with. If you sell alcohol to a minor, even by not carding every in the party, the store loses their liquor license. The cashier can go to jail for up to 2 years and/or pay up to $1000 fine, on top of losing their job. But if other person didn't interact with at all; ie giving money, discussing purchases, selecting products, etc. the store has no reason to suspect they are buying for them. More than one person coming in the store at the same time is very normal, particularly in the evenings and around holidays, which this was. I don't blame the cashier. We can't be expected to recognize every face, particularly since op said they hadn't been there for a while. And the cashier as a limited view of the customers shopping. But both managers could have reviewed the tapes. Having worked in customer service for 26 years, when the manager doubled down after reviewing the tapes, op would have my blessing and admiration to do that revenge if it happened at my work.
I work a Walmart parking lot. I'm pretty much the only person who tries to get on people who illegally park, but all we are really allowed to do is call them over the intercom (via plates) and hope they move. I've had two notable exceptions to standard procedure: First, we had a person who parked right next to the handicap-loading zone, in the driving lane itself. We did the standard intercom call, but after about 30 minutes, we were given okay to call a tow company as they were blocking part of traffic. The other was a couple weeks ago. A car took up two normal spots near the back. I was going over to chastise them when I noticed they were grabbing a wheelchair out of the truck. When I asked why they didn't want to use the handicap spots, they told me that their friend had been in an accident quite recently, and they hadn't had time to apply for tags yet. It was pretty obvious said friend was banged up, so I just told them to go ahead and move to a handicap spot, I'd back them up if anyone questioned it.
Story 2: I wish the police in the UK would enforce this. I've seen many a car parked in a disabled parking space that is not displaying the required Blue Badge. My partner has a Blue Badge and we sometimes struggle to find a disbaled parking space.
total wine : if the policy states that if two people come in at the same time , they must check out together , regardless if they are actually together , why then was the other person who came in at the same time as OP able to check out without OP being carded too ? sounds more like the store was being predjudice against OP .
that store, would of been ENTIRELY scorched earth like i did back in PA when something like this happened. i DESTROYED the assistant manager/manager and district manager bad enough they where "replaced" because they claimed my DL was fake and even called the COPS who told them that its real.
I'm betting the guy in the pickup got hit with TWO violations for taking up two handicap parking spaces. As for the woman in the stripped zone, that space is needed for things like wheelchairs, lifts and ramps. Driveway story: I'm not sure I'd let them come and get one of the remotes for the gate. It is possible to copy the remote frequency after all. Just to be on the safe side, I'd go to the trouble of resetting the frequency for the gate.
depends on the striped zone. if its the one by the parking spots then yes it's for wheelchair unloading vehicles but if its the ones buy the building those are for emergency vehicles only which arguably is worse
I would dig a hole 4 to 6 feet into the ground about 1 to 1.5 feet diameter. I would pour concrete to fill the hole and embed a loop of steel so that a few inches of the steel shows above the concrete. When they park near the loop of steel, pass the heaviest chain that you can afford over and around an axle or driveshaft, through the loop and padlock the chain to itself. Then leave it there for at least a week. They don't have to be present when you unpadlock the chain, take the chain into the garage to do it again, as needed.
Driveway Gate Story: I'd have told the Entitled Bastard that you were told not to park on my driveway and yet you did so anyway. Sucks to be you, I'll be home on [date], you can come back and get your car then... After I got home, I'd call a Lawyer and Sue them for Parking on my property without permission and get a Restraining Order banning them from ever parking or stepping foot on my lot without my permission...
With the fourth story the wine manager sure fits with her job, given all her whining. When you work a lucrative job as that you keep crap talk to yourself.
Story 2: implying that you aren't handicapped when your vehicle is parked in a handicap-only spot is one of the most "you did not think that through, did you?" Moments I've ever heard.
I don't get why the police claimed there was nothing they could do in the third story. Like yeah they can not have a car towed from private property but they can issue a trespassing warning and/or charges to the person parking there especially if the owner of the property has reported this person multiple times and has asked them directly not to use their drive. If the family is so concerned about their father being too old to have to walk the 90 feet from a public lot to their home they could always park their car in the public lot when their father is visiting and let him park in their drive... the family is pretty much telling the neighbour "we expect you to extend a courtesy and kindness to our father that we deny him because he's old and we're selfish and/or have no self awareness."
The story 2 is MINE holy crap!!!!I wrote that what a year ago? 🤣
Freakin neat! That's really cool when things come full circle and you hear your own story being told to you by someone else lol
I love to see the author in the comments, as it brings the stories that much closer to home.
I'm handicapped myself (I have trouble walking and balance but I try not to use the handicapped parking since I know people who need it more).
I was cranky and decided "you know what? Screw it."
You absolutely did the RIGHT thing. Those entitled peoples desperately need some teaching.
Thank you for being petty. My mother needs those spots.
Story 1 + 3: You can't just park anywhere, no matter the reason. You'll just anger other people.
Your newspaper guy gets all kinds of leeway, at lest in a small town. That said never used/blocked a handicapped spot.
Park in the wrong place, maybe lose the car. Might not be found again..... 🤨
1 of my friends is an emt …. He had to park close to the back door of an apartment complex as he could because a woman was going into labor … ( turns out to everyone being surprised because she had twins and nobody knew) well right before my friend turns the ambulance into the parking area by the back door, a woman with a van cuts them off, slammed on her brakes to a stop and got out. Storms inside and didn’t come out. Well not only was she in a fire lane, but a passing police car stopped and talked to my friend. Well she got a ticket. The police officer is her husband. The look on her face seeing her own husband ticket her and then seeing my friend ( the emt, now trying to use a gurney around her car with the pregnant woman who by now is in pain shouting her baby is coming. The woman is shocked because? My friend was the best man at her wedding, her police officer husband reminded her about emergency vehicles and that they have a job to do.
She’s divorced now. My friend ( the emt) told me about how she stormed into the complex because her husband suspected her of cheating with her ex who lived in the complex.
Sometimes park in a normal parking space. And be faithful
Anyone who has ever worked in a hospital with inadequate parking knows this very well. She was actually lucky they were kind and didn't make her wait the full time or just call security and have her towed.
Doesn’t the words “private property” mean anything to people anymore. And thank you for saying that this 75 year old man was nit senile - I am 75 and pushing 76 and I’m not senile or even slightly handicapped . Unfortunately though some of us this age or so are just plain jackasses!!!
Story 4: This is beyond ridiculous! Just because 2 people walk into a liquor store at the same time does NOT mean they are together! Seriously the manager ect knew they were in the wrong & doubling down to cover their asses! OP was awesome with his revenge though!!
What I don’t get is that they let the first person go without her/him having to show the other person’s id ect
@@katta309 I agree however OP didn't say if that person tried to purchase anything! The entire thing is beyond ridiculous & while extremely petty OP's revenge was awesome lol
Depends on where and what the laws are....merely walking in at the same time isn't enough....conversation or ESPECIALLY a change of hands of money.....even same car exited....if you have reasonable suspicion a minor is going to be given access you have to deny the sale....has to be reasonable
Story 4: why didnt they stop the other person,l. If they were in the same party, they should have stopped the other person as well
True I respect the revenge but I would had ran off with the drinks if they wanna not give the drinks to me
Story 3: sorry, we are out of town and this is not the first time we have had this discussion. See you guys Tuesday, merry Christmas *click*
That's what I would have done. Screw giving them the remote
What makes it worse is them pushing buttons to try and turn on lights, that caused the gate to close. So, not only are you parking on my property, you feel you have the right to run up my electric bill? No remote for you. Call an Uber.
CYA. Finish with "By the way, any vandalism to my property will be documented and you will be personally charged. Merry Christmas"
I personally think OP did the right thing giving them the remote. A christmas present I guess you could say.
However, if it happened again. Make em wait.
What?! I have scheduled my 4 week once-in-a-lifetime winter vacation overseas...
OP & the remote to his driveway fence:
I wouldn't have given them the remote either. I would have told them, "you parked on my property illegally, yet again, & I'm not going out of my way to help you out."
I agree. Also, what if they decide to keep the remote for future trespassing?
@@bcaye Or clone it so they can have access any time they want without OP knowledge.
Story 3: idgaf if theyre an old person, get their shit off my property since they dont have my permission
“We’ve only been gone five minutes!”
“Really? So you saw me here when I got the report an hour ago, still decided to park here and go inside?”
He wasn't there when he got the report an hour ago. OP called the non-emergency line, the police showed up within a non-emergency timeframe, that night it was over an hour.
Not that it matters, parking there is illegal for five minutes too and since the ticket's value is designed as a deterrent I don't think there's any state that scales down the size of the penalty based on the length of the infraction.
@@Jermbot15 you don’t say? It’s almost as if someone was making a joke or something.
@@shadowwriter329 Huh.... explain that joke. So the police officer lies about being on site when the report comes in and he lies about just standing around for an hour... and that's funny because?
A few years ago we had an issue with the neighbors that thought it was perfectly okay for them to use part of our property and driveway as their personal circle driveway. They were tearing up part of the yard. My husband told them not to do it. Of course they didn't listen. So he got a bunch of cement blocks and blocked that area and let them know if they moved one block he would call the police for them trespassing and theft. Thankfully because they got kicked out of the house by the landlord for failure to pay rent, that headache was gone.
That is the mentality of IDIOTS like that. Everything is about them!!!
I’ve worked in convenience stores before. Yes if there are other people in the party then all people must show ID. But you have to use common sense. Just because 2 people walk in at the same time does not mean they are together. That was absolute nonsense on the stores part. Good for the customer on the revenge. Hilarious and deserved.
Story 4: Petty? That was downright nuclear! (Tips hat)
Nope. Everyone survived. Nuclear is when families get destroyed or people die.
Being a disabled man myself, I liked this video just for story #2 alone. I believe the saying is “Fuck around and find out …”
Story 3. All the drama with the neighbour’s father’s car could possibly have been avoided if the old man had simply approached the driveway owner first and asked politely if he could occasionally park there when visiting his son. Manners go a long way in avoiding conflict.
I wonder, was the old man going out to the street, down the wall and up the other driveway, or just cutting through the yard?
My town doesn't require you to have a mailbox on the street (no good place to put one). The carriers park and walk back and forth each block. On my block, he parks on a side street to the east, then cuts straight across my front yard. I don't mind, that's a lot of walking. But one year, this guy had never figured out how game trails get created 😀
I just caught him one day, showed him the runt in my grass and asked it he could vary where he walked. He was horrified. The grass wasn't destroyed but this rut must have been 3 inches deep and five wide!
Yes but... Boomer. 404 manners not found.
Story 4: Geez, you sometimes gotta wonder how some people are still working as a manager, associate, etc. after causing this sort of drama.
There definitely is the case of a power trip, someone just trying to show off and belittle someone, and it blew up in their face in the form of losing $10K
Nepotism
Not losing $10k, but losing all the other sales that the popular wine would have brought, and also the goodwill of the customers as well, because they can see the wine, but get told they cannot buy it. The $10k sale was refunded, and seeing as it was in the same month, the OP lost nothing, but the store lost both times in having a processing fee on each transaction, plus a big black mark on the sales records as well. That the manager was likely rushing around filling the order both times was likely just the icing on the cake.
Fr I would had ran off with the drinks for denying me
In my head, I was thinking they were recently caught in a sting so they were on edge.
Oh my god the 4th story is diabolically genius. Im a retail and restaurant wine specialist and I am literally CRYING with laughter at how clever this was. NOT THE TITOS. PEOPLE WILL FIGHT YOU LMAO
My neighborhood has a high Polish population. If local liquor stores were out of Titos, there would be full scale riots.
As a shop worker who did the picking for that kind of curbside pickup, I feel _pain_ thinking how much work it would have been to pull that order together. In fact, I _picked_ that kind of order once: two full-size carts full of fizzy drinks, party food, crisps, nuts sweets... Fuckers never came to pick it up. It was a week before Christmas, I'd spent the better part of two _hours_ on that order - mainly because I also had to field customer questions when I was picking, and the next day I had to put it _all_ back.
As a shop worker who _also_ knows how to read an ID and would check with security to see if people were together _before_ refusing service on the grounds that the whole party wasn't there: good for you, OP! Smash their faces into their dumbass policy until they bleed!
Observation: Lazy good-for-nothings who illegally park in the handicapped spot deserve a 4-digit fine. This nonsense needs to hurt because some people don't learn their lesson until it hurts them in the wallet.
nah give them a 4 digit fine on top of forcing them to learn what it's like to be a disabled person in a world that hates you. I'd be raging at that dude bc my friend and i are both disabled but they can't walk very far without being in pain
@@sesshomaruslover1 Put nails in their shoes and tell them they don't deserve special treatment. They can still walk, can't they?🙄

@@sesshomaruslover1 I meant the entitled dude from the story. I get mad when able bodied people don't understand the pain their actions put other people through.

The neighbor story: about 4 years ago had a neighbor several units down from me had his elderly father visit after they'd moved in a bit before. Main issue was the old man was stubborn AF and just couldn't be bothered to park in a legal visitor spot and instead would just pull up in front of the house in the middle of the traffic lane,shut off the engine and go in. The issue with this is first my street is a circle with a stem street leading to the main street out of the complex and the new neighbors lived right where the circle meets the stem and second with legal parking on the side of the street his parking directly in the middle the old man effectively blocks all traffic in or out of of the street unless you happened to be on the free side of where he parked. I found myself stuck twice in as many days by the old man's parking job once in and once out with approximately 20 30 minutes of laying on the horn until the old duffer decided to get off his ass and move his car or the son moved it but on the second time I called the son over and explained I get trapped in or out by his father again I wouldn't be out there on the horn but instead would call the number of the complex's towing service clearly displayed on signs all through the neighborhood. A few weeks passed and it looked like maybe the son had impressed on the old man to park elsewhere but after about 3 weeks later later leaving for some errands and there's the the old man's car once again blocking the street but unfortunately for the old man one of the vehicles apparently that tried to use the street was a county deputy on patrol and the old man's car was already on the hook and ready to roll.
That will put a ding in his wallet. Hopefully a big one!
@@Rat-Builder overzealous tow jockey trying to make quota hooked my late wife's vehicle about 2006 claiming she'd parked on the grass ( walked past it and the shotgun side front was up on the curb but not grass) and that was 350 to get it back so I got to figure that had to have gone up 12 13 years later
@@garysprandel1817 My tow service was too slow so the police used theirs. Cost me $600 2 years ago. And that was a 10 mi tow, next day pickup in a small town. Can't imagine the city fees.
Too far to walk? How many disabled people would give everything they owned to be able to walk across that parking lot and not need HC parking? I happen to be one of them. Thanks for reporting the offenders, OP!
Story 4: OP IS A ASSHOLE 😆 I FREAKING LOVE IT!!! Oh man I know what it's like to have a young face (I'm 25 and yet I look like I'm 18 because of short hight and baby face as my mom calls it) it's why I had to grow a beard to even let people know I'm grown
In all seriousness, if the customer showed you the ID, and the face matches with the appropriate date, why doesn't that manager believe him? And 30 minutes? That should be lone enough to assume that they aren't in a party. Those two managers are have walnut for a brain.
I too have a young face, but I don't drink, so I do not get ID checked much. But, about that baby face. When I retired at 65, I was getting some paperwork from the clerk in the office. I had worked with her every day for 8 years. She saw what I was getting as far as paperwork, and asked me how old I was. I told her 65. She had a shocked look on her face and then said, "I had no idea." I will admit, that felt good. I am now 75, but I feel that age is just a number. I still ride a dirt bike, for heaven's sake. You will enjoy your young looks as you get older. At least I have.
@@Rat-Builder This reminds me of a story my dad told me recently. He had gotten a new job and was talking to his coworker, mentions hes 55. They go "Oh dude Im sorry... Ive been telling people that I work with a 75 year old man." r.i.p. my dads ego.
@@stygiandragon3865 so as someone who works retail and deals with tobacco sales there's more than just the face and appropriate date when looking over an ID (though considering this was a legal ID it would've met all those requirements anyway). And two people coming I'm at the same time would be something to look at but would need more than just that to make me deny a sale. More specifically them seeming to talk in the store/the trading of money before it'd make me suspicious.
I’m a retail manager and loved story 4. Any manager that has that poor of customer service in their store deserves OP’s actions. Nice job!
Story Three: Agreed. Totally wouldn't give them the remote. They can wait until Tuesday. (The ONLY exception would of course be if it wasn't just the cars trapped, but the people. But even then I'd make them come to me to get it.)
How would people be trapped? OP has a powered gate across his driveway not a cage that drops down on idiot trespassers.
If the people were "trapped", then they could call a cab, no? I'd have vehemently refused to give the remote (I wouldn't even tell them I had one). Serves the buggers right.
@@hrobinson9701 It was just a hypothetical. That IF, somehow, they were trapped too, I wouldn't have the option to ignore them for days. (If only for legal reasons.) But I'd still insist someone on the outside come to me.

You know for the final story op should have called the cops. As not checking everyone's ID was illegal of that location. The cops would have forced them to shut down the location and have all the store take classes as well as giving corporate a huge fine and if it turns out the way they did the ID checking allowed alcohol to get in the hands of minors. God help them corporate would have fired everyone in that damn store
Like minors getting access can still happen with the of age participant just going alone. However this whole "they walked in with you" gets thrown out if those 2 people never conversate with each other. I have had this happen to me before with a friend who was of age but buying their own liquor. They asked for both of our ID's when one of us went to the register.
I like that idea
I completely agree! I would have and she should have called the Cops right there and then at the store! Those kind of managers should be taken out and - well, y’all know the word!!!!
I was a hospital chaplain for a season at a rather large hospital that had the main campus, a secondary campus, and a second hospital (three in total). We had 24 hour chaplain services. During the day/evening, we had about 8 chaplains in the buildings doing patient rounds and stuff. We only had one chaplain overnight who was on-call. The chaplains that lived within a 15 minute response time could go home and sleep overnight. Several of us lived outside that 15 minute window so had to sleep at the hospital's main campus. When we worked the daytime shift, we had to park in normal employee parking. When we pulled the 24 hour on-call shift, we got to park in a designated on-call chaplain space. Remember, we had 3 facilities to cover with 1 person. There were several times that a car, an employee car, was parked in the on-call chaplain spot. That sure added to the response time when I had to travel to one of the other facilities in the middle of the night. Grrr...
That's when you take license plate and report it to all of the departments and escalate it if necessary ..... all the way to the office of the top honcho, whether that be chief of staff, or the hospital administrator. Along with a note left under the front wiper notifying them that their tag number has been reported for parking in a reserved space ..... not reserved for them.
I worked at a facility like that. I was a traveler and got confused where I was allowed to park. Security literally stopped on my way out of the lot after my third tour and when I said I didn't realize, they took my on a guided tour to show me where it was okay to park. I appreciated. But I would never ignore a sign designating an emergency staff spot.
Lol, I have my own liquor store ID nightmare story. Unfortunately no petty revenge achieved, just some mild comeuppance. I was teaching 7th grade at the time, and I don't remember exactly what was going on at that time of year, but I wound up not leaving work until almost nine. And it had been a profoundly horrible day with crap going on with some students and my abusive boss threatening me instead of helping me out, and I was coming down with something and had no voice left and just desperately needed tequila and lemons to add to my chamomile with honey.
Swung into the liquor store like five minutes down the road from the middle school, dressed like, y'know, a teacher. Khakis with dry erase gunk all over them, button-down with dry erase gunk all over it, pink cardigan, sensible shoes. SCHOOL LANYARD WITH TEACHER BADGE. I stagger inside, and the guy at the register immediately starts following me around. I figure, fair enough. It's almost nine at night, I have knee and hip problems, so I am very literally staggering, he's probably just being cautious, trying to figure out whether I've already been drinking.
I grab a bottle of middling tequila, something decent enough that I don't have to reserve it for when I have no sense of taste, and creep up to the counter. Slide the bottle, my ID, and my card across the counter. The guy comes back around the counter with this sneer of just absolute disdain, gives my ID a split-second glance, goes "Nice try, kid," and cuts it in half in front of me. Then he makes eye contact and GRINS as he hits the electric lock on the doors.
If it was any other time, I probably would have started to panic at that point, because as far as I could tell, we were the only two people in the store, and he just locked me in, and it was pitch black out. But I was maybe three-quarters of a neuron away from braindead, and I just flat did not understand what was happening. I was like "... bro. What...?"
And he goes on this absolute TIRADE about how crappy my fake ID was and he KNOWS I go to the high school down the road in the other direction from the middle school, and putting all the kids like me in jail is what's going to make America great again. Not to stereotype or anything, but he did not look like he belonged to the usual demographic for that sentiment, plus I would guess he was easily only just out of high school, himself. I was twenty-five, and yeah, I was still occasionally offered kid's menus at restaurants, but no one had ever just flat REFUSED to believe my ID when I showed one. Like, holy crap.
And, as I have mentioned, I had no voice. He's going on and on and on about what a blight entitled little millennials are (Yes. I am a millennial. So was he, or possibly Gen Z.) and that he's performing a citizen's arrest. I kept trying to butt in, but he probably genuinely couldn't hear me, and I finally reached for the pieces of my ID. I don't have any idea what I thought I was going to do with them, but I was freaking moribund at that point. He flings them off the counter and yells that I tried to attack him.
And then he calls the cops.
It's all kind of a blur from there. I was sick and exhausted and rapidly developing a migraine, so my actual ability to see and hear and stand upright was deteriorating, but I remember him telling the dispatcher that he was cornered in the store by a teenager he had identified by their clothing as a gang member. (Pink... cardigan? Like okay, yes, I would be willing to join that gang.) Dispatcher must have told him that an officer was currently passing by or something, because he releases the magnetic locks on the doors, and I'm like, "Dude, bye. You're a lunatic, and I'm out of here," but an officer walks in while I'm headed for the doors.
And this is where a GOOD story would reach a cool and satisfying climax, but it just kind of peters out. The cop honestly looks more annoyed than anything. Considering he was told there was a violent gang member in the store, and in that part of the state, that means cartels, he was completely unconcerned. Didn't even touch his sidearm, so in hindsight, that probably should have been my first clue that this was going to be done with without any problems. He looks me over, looks at the counter guy, and he's like "THIS is who's threatening you?"
(I think I was close to crying if not crying already. I was maybe half as menacing as a damp kleenex.)
Guy tries to explain about my ID and how I tried to vault the counter to strangle him or some bull. Cop picks up my credit card and the pieces of my ID, looks at the ID and at the school ID on my lanyard, tells me to go home. I don't THINK he gave me his card or anything, but it's entirely possible he did and I just never found it again. I do think he offered to take me home, because I looked like seagull vomit, and I probably should have let him, but apparently I didn't.
As I was walking out, he was telling the guy that unauthorized destruction of a state-issued ID is a crime, and I definitely remember hearing the word "AGAIN," but I left before seeing what came of it. Apparently this was not the first call of this kind he had made. I kind of hope he wasn't arrested or anything, because he clearly needed therapy and medication to have that weird of a reaction to assuming someone was trying to pass a fake ID.
I had to pay to have my ID replaced. :<
But I also found the bottle of tequila in my passenger seat, and I genuinely don't remember how it got there and I definitely didn't pay for it, so I'm assuming the cop handed it to my migraine-addled self and I just took it reflexively. I did have a tidy little pile of sick days collected, and I laid around drinking tea-quila with honey and lemon and not moving at all until I felt better.
FIN.
I wish you could've sued. You're right that cutting a legal ID is illegal, and it sounded like a pattern. That man shouldn't be selling alcohol, and the store could've lost their license and a ton of other fees. Not to mention, he assaulted you. It would've been on camera.
I'm sorry that happened, and I hope you are both feeling better, and in a better place professionally.
That is hilarious but it would be more so if you hadn't felt like death warmed over. That guy needs therapy!
Hope you're feeling better now. Once you're able to do so, contact the ATF. I'm sure they'll take an interest in a liquor store that either refuses or cannot determine the difference between actual and falsified identification documents. Got a feeling that the person in question probably sells to minors, possibly in exchange for certain "favors".
@@tsherwoodrzero I really should have done, but it's been like... eight or nine years now. I strongly doubt that guy is still working there, and I imagine that since he apparently had already made himself actively annoying to the local cops, they probably took care of whatever needed taking care of.
I'm actually not even sure they're still open, but now I'm curious. Going to have to check on that the next time I'm down that way.
Ugh I hate when people park where they’re not supposed to. I see it at the mall. The mall has a parking garage where the top is only open during Christmas or if there’s a big event in the open parking (we had a fair and a circus this last summer). So underneath is covered parking. There are signs all over the driving part, don’t park here, towing zone, fire lane. And since I like that particular entrance I usually look for a spot in that area. It’s such a piss off to see a vehicle blocking the driving lanes and sitting under a five foot long sign saying NO PARKING next to a sign on the pillars saying TOW ZONE. And every time there’s tons of parking. The worst part? It’s at the back of the lot. They’re not even doing it because it’s close and they don’t want to walk. They just don’t see the giant signs. They’re so oblivious to the world around them they don’t even notice they’re not parking in a parking stall
Notice for the first story, the lady who parked was told not to park there, said she would just be quick, but didn't get in touch with anyone until over 6 hours later?! In what world is that quick?
I live in a townhouse and had a moving van block my driveway all day. They acted very entitled when I asked them to move. I was very angry, but only because I couldn’t use my driveway but my wife was working from home and if there was an emergency (such as our toddler son getting sick or hurt at school), she wouldn’t have been able to get out. The guy truck driver first said we weren’t home all day. Not true. We have a doorbell camera, we would have known if he checked to see if we were home. Then he tried to argue that it’s a public street so he’s allowed to park there and is only moving as a courtesy. In retrospect I should have just called the cops, but I did leave his company a one star Yelp review
public street or not. Blocking a private driveway is illegal.
Years ago on my way home from work there would always be all these guys in white vans with the same logo, at a convenience store. They were not only blocking most of the lot and store access, but the wheelchair ramp and usually the handicapped spot. Every weekday morning. Once I parked and waited and they were there over half an hour, drinking coffee, eating and also violating the smoking ordinance.
A single call to the owner sorted it. It was a small business, luckily. I saw those vans again but never a bunch together and causing problems for other patrons.
@@bcaye Blocking a handicap ramp is not cool
@@danpeters6874, I agree. That's why I narked. But I tried the owner first because he would have borne the brunt. If he'd blown it off, cops would have been next.
Story 3 - I'd have done what they used to do in a privately-run parking lot in the city where I used to live. If you parked there without paying, they had a huge barrel that they'd chain to your rear bumper. There was no way you could drive your car with that barrel attached, and they wouldn't remove it unless you paid them a big fine.
Depends on the area. Out here in the sticks, half the vehicles could push, pull, or flatten that barrel no problem unless it was ballasted. (Concrete is best because it can't be emptied, although sand or water will still work.)
And even that might not be enough for some of the dually one-tons.
@@TheAttacker732 A little cement inside the barrel would fix that problem. 😁
@@citizenken7069 Against cars, light trucks, and crossovers, absolutely. Against full-size trucks, not so much.
I've accidentally shifted my entire *house,* foundation and all, by bumping my cement front porch with the hitch. This was with only a half-ton, riding the brakes, without feeling a damn thing.
@@TheAttacker732 I'd find a way.
@@citizenken7069 It almost certainly can be done, it's just not going to be particularly easy out here. The problem is that the impediment needs to be mobile enough to be affixed to the offending vehicle. And if it's that mobile, it's probably going to be too light for weight alone to stop a truck. It needs something besides raw weight to achieve that.
If it was a static setup, that'd actually be pretty easy. Bollards are solid poles rooted to a city block, and can stop a runaway dump truck when properly installed. They're just not mobile. At all.
I am disabled and require a wheelchair van. It really ticks me off when people abuse handicap spots.
This is why my 80 year old grandpa on oxygen tries to avoid using his placard. He can barely walk 20 feet without problems but he points out that there are people who need it more than him.
Story #1: The most important rule ever that you need to follow is to never, ever tick off your co-workers, especially those who could make your life so miserable that you would have to grovel an apology before leaving for another job. Same rule often applies if you're just a Joe Schmoe and you have to deal with a government employee on any level (especially DMV or IRS).
Story 3: That's not revenge, it's Karma.
Love that second story. I don’t have a placard but I need to apply for one. I have a walker and it’s very hard to walk even with that I’d never take a handicap spot .
Do NOT hand over the remote. They can use the info on it to buy their own, then they'll have access via the gate whenever they want!
Sometimes I don't want to wait for pro revenge, so it's petty'oclock.
I totally get the prettiness of the wine story. I once went to buy a bottle of rum for a party and had my friend's son with me who wanted to get some snacks for himself and came for the trip to Meijer. We got a few things and as I went to check out they not only asked for my ID but his. I said he is only 11! They said they couldn't sell it to me because he didn't have ID. It was ridiculous. That policy has to go!
Park in my driveway and get your car(s) trapped? Yeah, I'm now, conveniently 2,000 miles away in a mountain cabin that is snowed in. "Good LUCK!" will be my final words before asking my parents if I can stay the night with them for a few nights at their house across town to let it sink in.
Then again I'm an unapologetic AH that is petty AF.
Story 4 : I would have said : If you don't give me my ID back and let me go, i'm gonna consider this kidnapping, and you WILL get hurt!
Should NOT have given the remote. You can bet the father didn't make the trip for the remote! So he wasn't being put out. I'll bet he still tries to mess with that drive way.
I angered some of my neighbors when I came out of my house to find them parking in my round about driveway. They kept saying "oh it will just be a minute", and I told them hell no, I am trying to leave for work. You need to move now and stay off my property
Story #3: Do NOT give the remote! If need be open the gate online (via code). I feel that the odds that they will give back the remote are extremely slim!!!
How would you open it via code online? I would assume that the keypad is hardlined to the gate, without an internet connection to said keypad.
At least, that's how I would design such a system.
@@TheAttacker732 A lot of systems now have a way for it to be opened via online. To allow response for emergencies without having to break open the gate. (Burst water pipe for example)
However, it is a multiple step process for security. (I was assuming it was a newer system)
Story 1: "I won't be long." ...She literally went to WORK. Not long??? XD
After I got the gate remote back I would recode the remotes and gate. Just in case they bought a remote and coded it so they could use the driveway when you're gone
I was thinking the same thing.
Story 4: I’m going to imagine that the business in general will have a policy change after that incident.😅
Policy change? Fire the employee and hope they don't lose their license is more like it.
I love how you end every story with "We love you." My cat Padime Catadalia and I listen to every story together and she purrrrrs throughout every story. We love you toooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My husband forgot his wallet/I was paying for stuff anyway at Walmart. He’s actually 7 years older than me. I got carded and then they refused to sell bc he didn’t have his ID 🤦🏼♀️ I was so irritated.
Most tow trucks I've worked with don't charge a huge amount because they get paid via the like 400+ dollars the other person has to pay to get their car out of impound.
Many, many mooons ago, I went to our local K-mart. Outside, some idiot had parked a yellow convertible sports car diagonally blocking TWO handicapped spaces. No plates or placard. When I came out awhile later, the car was still there- but some concerned citizen had run not one, but a fistful of keys, from the front bumper to the back bumper.
Story 4 goes beyond petty, beyond epic, beyond nuclear! I love it!
Last Story - That one reminded me of the time I got to pull my own bit of credit card malicious compliance, when the sales manager at a motorcycle shop was pulling some petty flexing bullshit on me. He had been giving me grief all along, though my salesman was a friend. The day I was supposed to pick the bike up was the day before I was going on a vacation, riding around northeastern Ontario, Canada. The sales manager was saying that my financing hadn't gone through yet so I couldn't take the bike, with a smarmy little grin on his face. I pulled out my wallet and tossed two credit cards on the desk (one of them a VISA Black; line of credit) saying, "Take it out of one of those then." Amazing how quickly things got sorted out when he recognized that his kickback from the lender was about to evaporate. The smile went away even quicker. I never bought from that shop again (went to a BMW dealer instead).
I would have paid money to see the look on his face. I would have went back a couple of years later and asked the owner of the business if the sales manager was still there. If he said yes, I would have said, well if that is the case, I will buy my bike from someone else.
@@Rat-Builder - I had an even better opportunity. The sales manager who eventually replaced him, a few months before that dealership went under, became the general manager of another dealership that I was looking to buy a bike from. I got a voicemail from them asking if I was still interested in the bike, a few days later, and it was the sales manager of the new shop; the same guy who gave me grief at the old shop. I emailed their general email address and said that if this guy was working for them, then I didn't want to deal with them. The general manager called me back and asked what he could do to save the deal. My response was that he would have to make sure that the sales manager didn't get anywhere near the deal and make it worth my while. He came through on both counts.
@@morallyambiguousnet Money talks, and B/S sales managers can walk. He is most likely use to people complaining about him.
@@Rat-Builder - Yes, some managers seem to be of the mistaken opinion that if they aren't receiving complaints, they aren't doing their job right.
$2,000 for parking in a handicap zone double parked with no placard? Awesome. Deserved.
I am handicapped and have a legal placard. You have no idea how many times I'm forced to park way down the isle only to discover the cars parked in the handicapped spots have no placard or plates with the symbol on it. It's frustrating to say the least. I struggle walking and to see people who park there illegally really pisses me off. Please be kind and don't park in clearly marked handicapped spaces if you do not have a placard or plate. By the time I made it to the store entrance I had to sit for a bit to ease the pain from my spine so I could get food for myself.
Story 1: After Karen called to complain THREE times...OP should have just waited until end of shift to move their car. I sure would have...but then...I'm petty as hell against idiots :)
Story 3: If this happened in the US then the police lied to OP. The cops...and OP...can most certainly have it towed at the owner of the car's expense. The cops are just shirking.
Story 4: The moment the asshole refused my ID would be the point where I would call the police...since I was being accused of TWO separate crimes...one of which is a felony.
I had gone into this one Bevmo MULTIPLE times to buy Faygo since no store carried it. Now...Faygo is a SODA...and I have had NO trouble purchasing the soda despite being 18 at the time. No one asked, no one care at all because it wasnt alcohol. But then one day I went and had my mom drive me since my car was low on gas. I went in, asked for a case to carry them (as I buy 6-12 at a time), and went to check out. The cashier asked for my ID and I made a joke about how 'I didnt know you had to be 21 to buy soda'...the cashier called a manager who said I had to be 21 to ENTER the store, and 21 to BUY things from the store. I told him that i've been buying the soda from here since I was 15 and coming with my mom and aunt. But he made me go outside and get my mom to have HER make the purchase. I havent been to that Bevmo since..
Story 3 I would've told them that I was out of the country. I'll be back in 2 weeks. 😁😁
Story 1: I would have involved her department head. That place was reserved for a specialist, meaning seconds matter. Being one whose supposed to know this, as a medical professional, Karen potentially put people's lives at stake for her poor time management.
Seconds don't matter for *labs*, except perhaps ABGs. Most of the time they won't even draw blood until the tech is there.
Not saying that RN was right, quite the opposite. But it's not as dramatic as all that. Even if it was, anyone else would do what OP did.
darkfluff is beginning to sound like a tv/radio host and i love it
I’m disabled too but I don’t “look” disabled. I constantly get yelled at for parking in these spaces a lot it sucks.
Story 3, I'd have gotten some car boots from Walmart or online along with some no-trespassing/private property signs warning people you will be booted if caught parking without permission from the land owner.
And then waited for them to do it again. But this time they'd have to deal with the boot and pay to have the boots taken off.
I'm pretty sure $300 a day cash only would be a good incentive to not do it again. With a potential ahole tax added if they got pissy or called the cops because of their entitlement.
That Total Wine OP went above & beyond choosing the cheap jug wine. Hats off!!
Story 2: they should give the people who report people parked illegally a finders fee. You know a little reward for doing the right thing and encourage others to report these entitled pricks.
Nah hearing them being so pissed off and leaving them to call rides was halarious. I didn't need payment in cash. Seeing the reactions was good enough
I once went to a Total Wine near an anime con with some of our friends. All of us are drinking age, but i simply don't drink (i have bad reactions to almost all hard liquors and beers/ciders). I only tagged along because, well, it beats wandering on my own or just hanging in the room. However, i do have a bit of a baby face (even though i was in cosplay with face paint), but i hadn't brought my wallet into the store since naïve me thought "it's not like i'm the one that's buying or drinking any of it." The girl at the checkout was nice enough, and told us she had to ID everyone in the group. Crap, my wallet is in the hotel room. The girl started saying we could leave and come back with everyone's IDs, but then a manager lady walked up with one hell of an aggressive attitude. She asked what was going on and we explained, and said we'd go back to our hotel room to grab my ID, but the manager started huffing and puffing and just jumped straight to "no, you can't come back, you're banned from the store for 24hrs". We were just kinda taken aback, because that seemed like an extreme reaction to one person not having an ID. We tried again to explain we just wanted to go get my ID, that we'd leave everything here and just come back for it, but she started getting louder about how we were banned and we weren't allowed to come back for at least 24hrs. Well, this was a Saturday night, so we obviously wouldn't be coming back at all since cons end on Sundays, so we just went "sure, whatever" and went to Walmart for alcohol. Sure, we couldn't grab any hard liquor, but lots of people in my friend group like beer and malt liquor drinks so it wasn't that big of a deal.
Story 3 sounds more like Instant Karma than Petty Revenge.
Story 2 . I'm handicapped , knees but i can still walk just painful, and rarely am I able to find a handicapped spot at wal-mart. I have a handicapped tag. All the spaces were taken with only three had tags. As I was walking this woman and her two kids came out of a car in a handicapped spot. Thankfully that's the only business that this happens where I live. Great parenting teaching your kids it's ok to do this behavior.
Let me guess. If you confronted her she would've used her kids as an excuse. "I need this spot! I chose to push out multiple crotch goblins so I deserve it!" GRRR...
Does your Walmart do curbside? They watch and enforce those spots and you don't even have to get out of the car.
$10,000 dollars? Boy, OP really likes wine!😀
Haha 😂 love the bottle shop story! Absolute gold!
I’ve heard that Total Wine story before on other channels…what idiot staff (I’m someone who works in liquor stores so I know all the weird rules for purchasing liquor) This store deserved ALL the revenge this guy exacted on them. What a giant screw up on the liquor store staff’s part! FYI Tito’s is heavy bottles so is Jim Beam and any kind of bubbles are super heavy.
Here's a good one. One fine Saturday morning, this man went to the grocery store down the road from my house. This store is always empty, very few cars and huge parking lot. This man decided parking lots of places in the mostly empty lot was too far to walk so he parked in the handicapped parking right next to the store. A patroling officer happened upon this car and saw no evidence of a permit. A parking ticket was issued. Here's where it all goes sideways, and I heard this go down over the police radio so I didn't see any of it. The man comes out of the store and argues about the ticket. The officer runs his license and whoa, this guy has multiple warrants and a code word for a dangerous person. Three other units immediately head to the scene, the guy gets arrested and the car is impounded. So this guy was in such a hurry, he got himself thrown in jail. Hope saving a short walk was worth it. The moral is, don't illegally park when you have warrants. And if you are getting a ticket, don't go outside and argue about it. Dummy.
Never give someone your remote because they can clone it and now have access to your gate every single day of the year!! Never ever give someone your remote!
"Are you seriously not coming in to pick up the order?"
Well, you see someone I don't know might have also come into the store and...
The truck driver in story 2's attitude and words makes me think he probably thinks handicap people don't deserve rights or something. Like how do you deliberately take up a handicap spot (and then some) and then have the gall to verbally insult them?
Let's go!!
❣️🤗❣️
Story with the gate across drive...
NOPE! ALL THE WAY NOPE!
I WOULD NOT GIVE EM MY REMOTE!
I used to work at a building where you pay for monthly parking & your car number is basically hung on the wall. They also had security walk the lot every two hours or so, pretty hilarious because you'd think people would get that the word "reserved" with a car number plate below it meant no car but that particular car could park there. Yeah, people are dumb. Yes, you could also submit two car numbers and they'd have the plate reflected either car could park in the spot. This is usually because the person who got the spot have multiple cars or would occasionally switch cars with their spouse.
Story 4: What kind of BS reasoning is that?! "You came in at the same time, so you're a party"?! That's not the stupidest thing I've ever heard, but it's in the top ten.
I’m impressed the first story lady did not call a tow truck getting the technician car towed away 😂 (not that she could, but sometimes those truckers just do the job without asking or thinking too much)
Wah hahahaha! I love the fourth story! I agree, DarkFluff. That's is the best Petty Revenge EVER!
Who carries their gate remote when they go on vacation? I would have just left it in the house. But, the neighbors/guests still couldn't get the gate open
They'd have had to take the remote so they could open the gate when they got home. They just forgot to close it before they left.
Do you leave the garage door remote in your car, or in the house? Wether you are driving 10 miles away, or 1000 miles away, nobody removes their remote entry device.
Story 4 is pure pettiness lol.
The out of town till Tuesday story, op was a lot nicer than I would have been! I may have had to stay an extra day or 2 lol
Why let them get the remote? Tell them you'll open the gate when you get home!
Ya . I would of shut phone off after finding out they were trap by seeing it on my cams and not of turned on . Leaving trapped in drive way.
About the alcohol, the issue is called a strawman purchase. I've worked at both a grocery store and Walmart as a cashier. The Walmart because very close to the college campus. So this is an issue I am very familiar with. If you sell alcohol to a minor, even by not carding every in the party, the store loses their liquor license. The cashier can go to jail for up to 2 years and/or pay up to $1000 fine, on top of losing their job. But if other person didn't interact with at all; ie giving money, discussing purchases, selecting products, etc. the store has no reason to suspect they are buying for them. More than one person coming in the store at the same time is very normal, particularly in the evenings and around holidays, which this was. I don't blame the cashier. We can't be expected to recognize every face, particularly since op said they hadn't been there for a while. And the cashier as a limited view of the customers shopping. But both managers could have reviewed the tapes. Having worked in customer service for 26 years, when the manager doubled down after reviewing the tapes, op would have my blessing and admiration to do that revenge if it happened at my work.
I work a Walmart parking lot. I'm pretty much the only person who tries to get on people who illegally park, but all we are really allowed to do is call them over the intercom (via plates) and hope they move.
I've had two notable exceptions to standard procedure:
First, we had a person who parked right next to the handicap-loading zone, in the driving lane itself. We did the standard intercom call, but after about 30 minutes, we were given okay to call a tow company as they were blocking part of traffic.
The other was a couple weeks ago. A car took up two normal spots near the back. I was going over to chastise them when I noticed they were grabbing a wheelchair out of the truck. When I asked why they didn't want to use the handicap spots, they told me that their friend had been in an accident quite recently, and they hadn't had time to apply for tags yet. It was pretty obvious said friend was banged up, so I just told them to go ahead and move to a handicap spot, I'd back them up if anyone questioned it.
Padlock: I guess it's time to get a new padlock.
Never block someone else's driveway! You may impede them from going ro the ER.
Story 2: I wish the police in the UK would enforce this. I've seen many a car parked in a disabled parking space that is not displaying the required Blue Badge. My partner has a Blue Badge and we sometimes struggle to find a disbaled parking space.
total wine : if the policy states that if two people come in at the same time , they must check out together , regardless if they are actually together , why then was the other person who came in at the same time as OP able to check out without OP being carded too ? sounds more like the store was being predjudice against OP .
Story 4: This is the kind of thing you legit call corporate over.
I would have told them they would have to wait until I got back into town for them to get their cars!
Karen: I won’t be long
Me: won’t be long?! You were gone for 8 hours!
that store, would of been ENTIRELY scorched earth like i did back in PA when something like this happened. i DESTROYED the assistant manager/manager and district manager bad enough they where "replaced" because they claimed my DL was fake and even called the COPS who told them that its real.
I'm betting the guy in the pickup got hit with TWO violations for taking up two handicap parking spaces. As for the woman in the stripped zone, that space is needed for things like wheelchairs, lifts and ramps.
Driveway story: I'm not sure I'd let them come and get one of the remotes for the gate. It is possible to copy the remote frequency after all. Just to be on the safe side, I'd go to the trouble of resetting the frequency for the gate.
depends on the striped zone. if its the one by the parking spots then yes it's for wheelchair unloading vehicles but if its the ones buy the building those are for emergency vehicles only which arguably is worse
@@sesshomaruslover1 True.
I've been to Total Wine & More with my Dad and sister, and they never checked my ID or sister's ID when my Dad bought his whiskey.
I would dig a hole 4 to 6 feet into the ground about 1 to 1.5 feet diameter. I would pour concrete to fill the hole and embed a loop of steel so that a few inches of the steel shows above the concrete. When they park near the loop of steel, pass the heaviest chain that you can afford over and around an axle or driveshaft, through the loop and padlock the chain to itself. Then leave it there for at least a week. They don't have to be present when you unpadlock the chain, take the chain into the garage to do it again, as needed.
OMG! I can't believe that I'm so late!
Sorry Fluff and friends!💖😘
Loved the last story 😂😂😂😂
Driveway Gate Story: I'd have told the Entitled Bastard that you were told not to park on my driveway and yet you did so anyway. Sucks to be you, I'll be home on [date], you can come back and get your car then...
After I got home, I'd call a Lawyer and Sue them for Parking on my property without permission and get a Restraining Order banning them from ever parking or stepping foot on my lot without my permission...
With the fourth story the wine manager sure fits with her job, given all her whining. When you work a lucrative job as that you keep crap talk to yourself.
Story 2: implying that you aren't handicapped when your vehicle is parked in a handicap-only spot is one of the most "you did not think that through, did you?" Moments I've ever heard.
I don't get why the police claimed there was nothing they could do in the third story. Like yeah they can not have a car towed from private property but they can issue a trespassing warning and/or charges to the person parking there especially if the owner of the property has reported this person multiple times and has asked them directly not to use their drive. If the family is so concerned about their father being too old to have to walk the 90 feet from a public lot to their home they could always park their car in the public lot when their father is visiting and let him park in their drive... the family is pretty much telling the neighbour "we expect you to extend a courtesy and kindness to our father that we deny him because he's old and we're selfish and/or have no self awareness."
I used to be petty (hopefully not anymore..fingers crossed). In my day, I would’ve made the woman in Story 1 wait until my shift was over at 7:30pm.
