I think the funniest thing about that one story was that, he WROTE DOWN the question “why aren’t you answering the phone?” as if that very action wasn’t answering his question enough. I just... can’t understand that leap of logic.
Lmaoooooooo that boss was sooo dumb. Putting a person who needs hearing aids to hear, but can't wear them because of an ear infection, on PHONE DUTY? May that boss sit on a cactus! 💀
May he sit on a throne of prickly pears and wear his boots of legos. (but in the bottom of the sole there's one stud so it's just constantly stabbing him in both feet).
Despite having pretty bad social anxiety I used to work full time at at a coffee shop. Also despite my anxiety I had 0 tolerance for bs and verbal abuse so when Karen's would go off on me working register about their large extra caramel swirl iced coffee with 6 creams and 8 sugars wasn't sweet enough my snark switch would flip and I would bite back (not literally). Though customer service was far from my strong suit I was one of the best people on all other stations, so much so that I earned several bonus raises, rewards like gift cards and candy and even had a new title made for me "advanced crew member" to warrant why I was paid more then the other bottom rung employees on the paperwork. How did I earn all the stuff even though my customer service wasn't great? Because my manager wasn't a complete tool. He realized what my strengths and weaknesses were and adapted to them like managers should. I would come in at 4 am every morning to help him prep the store and then I would either be on food duty with one of the best shift leaders killing the breakfast orders or with my manager on drive thru, making the coffees as he took the orders because I was one of the only people that could keep up with him while staying organized. Had my manager been like this guy I no doubt would have been fired...
@Alina Waterstraat The colors puce and chartreuse SOUND like they would go well together, because the words rhyme, but believe me, they do not go well together. I like saying them, though. "Puce and Chartreuse" sounds like a good band name. I was literally saying this very thing to my sister this morning, that I like saying "puce and chartreuse" but the colors don't go well together. We were talking about unpopular colors for cars.
@@AuntLoopy123 Can confirm that the two colors do not go well together -- I have an eye for color and I tend to be somewhat picky about which colors go well together. Vomit green and neon yellow is also a disastrous combo
@@JetFalcon710It does sound like vomit green, doesn't it? I always thought it was vomit green, until I looked it up. Yay, internet! You can look up words that require a visual example, rather than a description in a dictionary, printed in black and white. Turns out, puce is a sort of darkish pink with purple undertones. And it definitely does not go with neon yellow, tinged with green. I've never been good with color names, and remember getting so frustrated as a child, hearing color names, and looking them up in the dictionary, and reading "a shade of X color." Great. Which shade, and how is it different from all the other shades of X?
It amazes me how some of these people think. Like, the boss knew she CANT HEAR and thought she'd be able to hear the phone ringing and then listen to people on the phone.
The logic of asking a deaf person, in writing, why they aren't answering the phones did no go over that boss's head. It made a full earth rotation until it hit him in the back of the head.
This made me laugh as my daughter is deaf and nothing i mean nothing would stop her going to school trying to tell her you have a severe double ear infection and burst ear drums means nothing to a child who had a high pain threash she would say my ear popped we knew what that means pain that can make grown men cry ( we saw that when a dr said see that big man crying he has 1 burst ear drum and is crying i burst my ear drum and it made me cry you have 2 burst drums and a train wreak of a major ear infection in both ears how can you not feel that ? She said why is he crying it doesnt hurt just pops the dr was baffled dont worry he asked the man if it was ok to tell her first he didnt break any rules ) what hurts everyone was just a quick pop for her lol so off she went to school no hearing aids and she would lip read best she could they knew to crouch to her level and look at her if they needed to talk to her. What people dont realise been deaf even profound deaf you have a sort of hearing and hearing people who dont understand think hearing aids just make what you hear like someone hearing would hear it doesnt work that way it makes it louder but not clearly like how we hear it as a hearing person. And in a normal situation when you remove your hearing aids you can hear something but when you have a ear infection thats gone totally gone they may hear a phone before even without aids but with a infection there will be no sound at all my daughter explained this when she was old enough to understand as i niticed she would stop watching tv or listening to music as she doesnt wear her aids at all at home anyway things just get turned up in volume even though she classed as servere hearing loss profound in high tones she just so used to not wearing them for over 6 years she found it too noisy when she got the aids after the excitement wore off of hearing new sounds so they come off as soon as shes home lol we dont mind it gives her a break but her drs hate it and we can tell if shes not had them in for ages such as when she had school holidays as her speach starts to sound different she starts talking as you expect deaf people to talk her speach is normally great you cant tell shes deaf thanks to excessive training with speach therapy since she learnt to talk it started even before she got her aids at age 6 we were told never let her learn sign which annoyed me i tried to fight it but i was told dont do it as uts something they no longer teach a way to make the deaf community fit in a hearing world i hated it and its something i regret not teaching her but its never used in schools even schools for the deaf they only used it during break times so she struggles in deaf club talking to other kids there but its made her work harder on speach and lip reading etc which makes her be able to communicate well with pretty much everyone except her own deaf community as they learn sign as most have deaf parents were hearing but fully deaf aware due to deaf family i knew sign from a very young age but its something i wanted to teach her but was told by specialists i was never to teach her sign even if i knew it. I broke the rules and taught her a few signs encouraging ones good girl, well done, you alright for when she wasnt near but i could see her worry so i could let her know i was there if needed but i wasnt allowed to teach her to have a conversation in sign like i was taught when i was younger. I also taught her amimals and any word sign she asked to learn if i forgot we got out the special book i have and learnt together oh i was in trouble but didnt care lol so the thought of him sat there in front of a ringing phone is very funny. If your a child who doesnt get hearing aids till later say age six like my daughter did they have to relearn what they thought they heard it sounds different so first day she had her aids we had to convince her we had not changed her name and explain why cars made sound and explain every new sound it was fascinating we didnt know she was missing so much. Its why even with aids deaf people who do bsl or asl still sign so they do know exactly whats been said. My daughter has high tone deafness so misses many letters completely f s and some other dont exist at all so she was trained to include letters in things she didnt hear so zoe would be oey jasmine flower jabwin our i know it strange this simulator is great at showing just how deaf people hear but its not perfect when it gets to servere it sounds more like garbage said by some crazy deamon we heard a real simulator at a deaf school we heard crazy strange noise she got hello whats your name 😐 lol I hope this helps you understand a little more th-cam.com/video/Va1wrnsMve0/w-d-xo.html
@@annied1827 Sorry to hear that about your daughter but I’m glad that at least she’s fine. I know I can hardly relate but when I was younger (maybe 3, 4 years old?) I had an ear infection. I don’t think it was a major infection or anything but I did have tubes in my ears.
@@arandomguy517 why are you sorry ? Yes its sad she got ear infections but its part of been deaf they always get them she would have missed half her time at primary school if she wasnt her and went anyway complete with her medicine bottle lol Please tell me your not saying sorry because shes deaf as there is nothing to be sorry about i played hell with the dr when he said he had bad news and he was so very sorry she was deaf i was so angry with him and told him never tell a parent your sorry their child is deaf again its the reason people treat the deaf the way they do because they are not taught correctly been deaf is not a issue but people hate it because its different they dont understand it children learn from parents so as soon as she got aids and people saw she was deaf then we got we dont our children associated with a child like that children who played with her were either told not too or removed to a different school when they ignored their parents like in the case of her best friend as her mother didnt want her daughter been friends with a child like that and why wasnt she locked up in a special place for people like that 😕 you learn quickly not to have birthday parties inviting the whole class as no one will come and she learnt when the class is invited to a party that didnt include her. The parents learnt from their parents been deaf is bad they should be still sent away locked up and throw away the key sadly this attitude is passed down each generation and still that is taught today. Please if you have kids teach them deaf doesnt mean bad doesnt mean they are different and yes you should be friends with them just like with any disability let kids choose who they should be friends with regardless of colour or disability as they are not born to hate these people they are taught it id live to see a generation where it doesnt matter to anyone who their child wants to be friends with 🙂 Its the reason i did the post i wanted to explain that sutuatiin better explain how deaf people hear teach people to understand educate what they dont always understand If you were not saying sorry because shes deaf i apologise for jumping to the same conclusion ive been fighting for 18 years please forgive me for that its just what i expect i forget there are a very very rare few who dont think that way 🙂💕
My D&D (Pathfinder) group once asked the Oracle to keep watch one night, forgetting that her chosen curse was Deaf. It went about as well as you'd expect.

OP: *Is deaf* Boss: "Can you take phone calls even though you can't hear them? I don't care if you're deaf! Do. Your. Job! OP: *Can't hear the phone calls* Boss: *Surprised Pikachu Face*
Writes down the instruction... Brain activity still at zero. It just proves that people do exist that hold management and HR positions but really do not need a brain to live. The kind of people that we put warning signs on things to stop them killing themselves through stupidity.
Funny enough, that wasn't the reason why the asshole boss wasn't fired. It was (as noted in the story) an issue with workers during pregnancy (law wasn't followed which was a huge no no)
The story of the deaf lady being made to do phone duties when she had no way of being able to hear anything pissed me off. If something like that happened to me, I would look for another job. I really hope OP switched jobs after what she went through.
Or OP could have just taken FMLA or temporary disability leave until the infections cleared up. That guy and HR were jackasses, but when you've got a disability it's YOUR job to make sure your paperwork is in order, your employer just has to abide by it. There's errors on both sides on that one - if it's a true story. Frankly, as someone with an ongoing disability and intermittent FMLA always up to date, I find it very hard to believe that a deaf person wouldn't have all of that paperwork in order with their employer.
@@Amarianee I'm fairly sure OP lives in the UK as they mentioned the NHS which is the healthcare provider here. Idk how that would work in law and paperwork, but there are strong disability laws here.

@@johndoe-ek1qs He continued to write after going deaf. But by that point he could probably imagine pretty well what it sounds like. I went deaf later, and can still decipher my families' voices because I know how they say certain words and can recognize their faces when they say them.
@@blueturtle3623 I just re researched about beethoven which I had done already very recently. It appears that the original information I gathered was incorrect. Thanks for helping to set me straight!
i love how that boss kept writing notes to communicate with their deaf employee because they're deaf and cant hear what is being said to them and by doing so acknowledges that they're, once again, deaf and therefore cannot hear but then got angry and confused when they didn't just stop being deaf so they could answer the phone?? thats the stupidest thing ever like they fully just forgot that you need to be able to hear to take a phone call? idek what was going through that boss' head
I honestly was LMAO on the phone story like how did those idiots expect a deaf person to do phone duties?! The dumb boss even had to write down his questions that should tell him "Oh their deaf" for OP to reply xD like WTF???!!
Years ago, I was in a Wachovia, and they said someone's full social security number over a loud speaker multiple times. I said you can't do that, and they shrugged. I closed my account immediately.
@@Starfloofle weirdly enough, a few months later I did some computer work for the bank, and after that I was so appalled at the bad security, it ended up with a phone call to the banks president. This had been brought up.
I used to get a lot of ear infections when I was a kid, I got one almost every month. And one time I thought I would get in trouble if I kept getting sent home, so I was just sitting in class and crying because my ear hurt like hell and I was afraid to tell my teacher. Then she saw me and told me to go to the nurse, I'm so happy I don't get infections like that anymore.
As a former swimmer who experienced a serious inner ear infection; don’t fuck with ear infections. They suck, make you feel sick, and if it’s bad enough it hurts to even lay down certain ways. Good on OP for showing that boss that he’s a douchebag.
I can easily imagine myself asking the deaf employee to answer the phones. I'd like to think however, that once the employee pointed out to me that they are deaf, I would see the _tiny_ flaw in my otherwise perfect plan.
Best wake up call!! My grandmother and my great aunt both had the same name, first, middle, last. Both lived in our hometown. Very confusing especially when on hospital lol
This has piqued my interest! I'm assuming they could tell them apart by the birthday? Do you know the story on why they were given the same exact name 🤔
@@Sunshine-ug5pb A similar confusion happened to my mother, she had a long term illness and had a regular repeat prescription from the pharmacy. On one occasion she picked up her prescription and it was the wrong drugs. She took it back to the pharmacy. It turned out that there was a woman with the identical name who lived less than a mile away. After that people had to give their birthday to verify identity when collecting from the pharmacy.
@@Sunshine-ug5pb They had the same first and middle names , then married brothers. My grandmother's dob was 9-8-i can't remember the year and my aunt's was 8-9-of the same year. Their middle name was even spelled weird. Mae instead of May.
@@dorothylloyd1804 Mae is a traditional spelling for girls' names in the American South. One of my relatives is named Mae, and I wanted it for my own daughter, should I ever have one.

We primarily call them boilers or water boilers around here.
the best part about the story with Rick the Prick is that this was obvious that Rick was setting op up, and they had evidence, meaning if he was actually fired and what not he could sue Rick PERSONALLY instead of the company. Because of this, I wouldve brought in a bunch of demands that if not put in place immediately, would result in said legal action against Rick.

[some time later across the room] OH MY GOD!! Kudos for actually recording that last bit across the room by the way! X'D
RE the OP who got “free money” from their bank, while your explanation covered the opportunity cost of the low interest rate, that isn’t what OP meant by free money. They meant that they got $22,000 in 2008 with an interest rate that was less than the monetary inflation rate. So while OP paid back about $24,000 to the bank, inflation was rendering the value of those payments lower every year so that, in the constant value of 2008 dollars , OP only ended up paying back about $20,000. So OP profited off the bank that tried to screw them. And they used the savings to pay off other higher interest debts, and probably did invest some in stocks as you mention.
OMG the story of the person who couldn't hear being told to answer the phone had me DYING laughing. I almost spit out my coffee. Welcome to corporate America stupidity.
As someone who is hard of hearing, I look forward to the day I can implement my own malicious compliance with the phones. It won't be to the extreme of not being able to hear the phones ringing nonstop, but phonecalls are near impossible for me because I'll hear the person on the other end, yeah, but I will not be able to understand about half the words that come out of their mouth. My friends know that they either have to shout at me or call from somewhere that is *completely silent* because otherwise, I can't understand them at all!

Juqt found this channel and I'm Bing watching these. Amazing work :> I'm enjoying all these stories and I'm lazy to actually go out and read them on reddit. Thank you!
I had police come knocking at my door years ago (20+) asking for me. I said, yes, that's me, and they then tried to arrest me for an assault that happened on the other side of the city. I protested that I was never over there, hadn't been in forever, as there is nothing that I need over there. My wife had to confirm that. it was only when they checked the birthday's that they realised I was the wrong person. We even shared the same birthday, but the other guy was a year ahead of me. So, this guy had the same name AND the same birthday as me, but one year earlier. What are the odds!
My niece was born deaf and wore sparkly pink hearing aids until she got her surgeries. One supply teacher at school told her to remove them and put plain ones in as they weren’t uniform. So my 8 year old niece took out her hearing aids. She didn’t have plain ones just the glittery pink ones. The teacher started doing the register and when she said my niece’s name, she didn’t respond. The teacher started shouting at her for being rude. My niece knew exactly what she was saying as she can lip read but just sat there. When the teacher was finished, she looked at her and said “I can’t hear you I don’t have my hearing aids in as they’re not school uniform.” I was so proud
I had a similar story from my mother, who was taken off basically "project supervisor" duties to do phone work because she temporarily was unable to quickly and accurately communicate what she needed to - because she had laryngitis. Most of the communication with the people on the project was through email or other electronic messaging, and the rest was also not time critical enough that writing on a notepad would be too slow. 100% of the communication through the phone was verbal. Guess which was impacted more by her not being able to raise her voice above like 10 decibels but still being able to write and type?
I have a senior engineer I work with, great guy, and the two of us have the same background. We started out as grunts on the ground before making the switch to engineering. He is older, and has gone def in both his ears to the point he needs to wear hearing aids. I have watched him take his hearing aids out before a meeting, so he didn't have to participate. These meetings served no purpose, think meeting to discuss a meeting. Every time we went into one of these meetings he would say he had an ear infection and couldn't wear his hearing aids. Just makes me wish I could use that excuse at times. LOL
Hey I wanna thank you!!! I’m had a really tough morning today. We had to put my dog down. He was 15 and we couldn’t find him for hours. Finally we found him and he can’t walk real good and kept tripping. When we had him, around 2 years ago he lost some of his sight. Now he was fully blind. I searched up some stuff and it turns out he had all the systems for a stroke. Right now as I’m typing he’s being put down. I have been bawling tears for at least 30-45min. Then I got on TH-cam and started watching this. I had stopped crying even when I’m typing this. I want to let you now that you helped me through one of the hardest moments in my life. When that one guy said “all good things come to an end”. I smiled thinking about my dog Bandit. Im know glad that my dog is in a better place. THANK YOU ❤️. May Bandit Rest In Peace.
I'm not even deaf and I got double ear infections one year and essentially went deaf for at least a week. The loudest setting on my TV now sounded barely audible, I feel for people without their senses! I am also reminded of the time about a decade ago in college when I laid down with an ear ache and woke with a bloody pillow because my eardrum tore during the night! It took at least a month to be able to hear from that ear again and it's never really gotten back
Is anyone else imagining Yugo head-tilting at r/Slash yelling "OH MY GOD!!!" for the last story? Just me? k. Speaking of Yugo, can we have an entire episode of puppy bloopers? Please?!!!!
As a deaf person I 100% understand their situation, I've worked with an ear infection until it got so painful I when to a local doctor's during my lunch break, thankfully they let me jump the queue, I got my antibiotics and went back to work with one ear without a heading aid since it was too painful.
It cracks me up when you pull back from the mic and yell. I just imagine you standing up, walking to the back of the room, planting your feet, and then yelling at the top of your lungs 🤣
The second story about the deaf person is so CORPARATE! It is like as people progress in their position the Stupider they become. It still amazes me when dealing with companies how far their heads are up their asses.
So the boss of the deaf person knew they couldn't hear because in the story he had written down the words for them to read and still got mad they couldn't hear the phone? How dense are they?
I have a similar story to the first one. For the last few years someone has confused my personal email account as their own with various websites ranging from medical, children's schooling, banking, magazines, and any number of other stores. Unfortunately, no amount of reaching out to any of this made a difference until it reached the point of receiving weekly and sometimes daily updates on a child's schooling and homework assignments. I attempted to reach out to the teacher in hopes they would be able to get it to stop as these updates included very personal information about a young child including when they went to the school nurse feeling sick. When that did not work out I ultimately dug a bit deeper and found the Principal's contact information. Reaching out to them thankfully worked and they apologized for a lack of response from the teacher; but, my final response was that I figured the teacher was busy and ultimately it was not their mistake given the family clearly provided an incorrect email address. Since then, the number of incorrect messages have decreased drastically so thankfully I will no longer receive such a close look into another person's life.
I use to work at AT&T in customer service. Occasionally I would get a cold and if I don't catch it quick enough I get laryngitis. I went to work letting them know and was told there was no paperwork so they told me to answer the phones. I tried 3 times so each time customer would get angry and demanded the manager. Finally building manager told me to go home. I said no because I was forced to say especially since I tried to not get online anyway, eventually they sent me home with full day pay and no points against me. *customer service made $8+ an hour. *manager made $18+ an hour *building made approx. $25+ hour. Each call went to corporate. They complained about treatment to employees.
There was another woman with the same first and last name as me, her SSN is 4 digits different, she’s had the same hospital company as me so she’s even seen the same doctors! Only after I turned 20 I found out about her existence because I got a call from my doctors office yelling at me for not showing again. I didn’t have an appointment, and we realized what’s going on.
The deaf person story: how is his boss and HR that socially unaware? How does it not compute with them that perhaps phone duty is a stupid thing to ask of their deaf worker when they say their ears are acting up too much for their hearing aids? Look, I'm sometimes slow on the uptake (crossed wires up the wazoo in my brain) but I'd like to think I'm more on the ball than this person's boss.
3:23 so fun fact: hot drinks/food actually just make you colder, because, essentially, your body detects the heat now and goes “oh, we’re hot now? Cool!” and eventually overcompensates for the heat of the food.
I cringed at the start of the 1st story, when OP was asking them to get his email removed from the account. It's not his account, and the Netflix rep KNEW OP wasn't the account holder. I've never worked with Netflix, but I do work for a company that takes personal info from customers. That info is taken to verify security, to ensure the person calling is who they say they are, and has the authority to make changes. You can't just go into someone's account and make changes without their consent. It's a HUGE security violation. Like, yeah, it's annoying because you know it's not the right email, but that's on the account holder to get it fixed, not OP.
That bank story happened to me. I just happened to move to a town where another person has my same name. First and last. The only difference is our middle initial. I deposited money one time and was super thankful I said "yes" to the receipt, because I noticed a far different balance than it should have gone to, so I was like "Wait, I think you put this in the wrong account." Turns out they had, because they ALSO bank at my bank. So now I have to go in and say my FULL name every time. XD I also had to show ID for the first year or two I lived here, because when I would hand my card to a cashier, they'd look at the name, look at me, squint a bit and have that "you're not them" look on.
My joke at work is that a co-worker of mine is safe in her job because she can answer the phone but I can't (unless they want to lose customers). International company and a severe hearing loss...wonderful

Turns out, puce is a sort of darkish pink with purple undertones. And it definitely does not go with neon yellow, tinged with green.
I've never been good with color names, and remember getting so frustrated as a child, hearing color names, and looking them up in the dictionary, and reading "a shade of X color." Great. Which shade, and how is it different from all the other shades of X?
Oddly enough, my spouse was severely vision impared while he was employed as one of the best furniture quality inspectors. He used touch over sight.
It amazes me how some of these people think. Like, the boss knew she CANT HEAR and thought she'd be able to hear the phone ringing and then listen to people on the phone.
Just unsub to Netflix already.
The logic of asking a deaf person, in writing, why they aren't answering the phones did no go over that boss's head. It made a full earth rotation until it hit him in the back of the head.
That last story was great. "OH MY GOD" after the boss got the email was great, especially when RSlash just does it across the room.
I love when he yells stuff across the room
R slash is very good at that!!!
Yes! I love it when he does that 😆

“Hello, HELLO!!! CAN YOU EVEN HEAR ME?!!?”
*Stands there deafly*
Lol, that story was funny, the bosses would have probably asked a blind person to read emails and write letters 😂😂😂
@@wamas1234 right? Living proof that the prerequisite for being a boss is being an absolute dumb f*ck. 😭
This made me laugh as my daughter is deaf and nothing i mean nothing would stop her going to school trying to tell her you have a severe double ear infection and burst ear drums means nothing to a child who had a high pain threash she would say my ear popped we knew what that means pain that can make grown men cry ( we saw that when a dr said see that big man crying he has 1 burst ear drum and is crying i burst my ear drum and it made me cry you have 2 burst drums and a train wreak of a major ear infection in both ears how can you not feel that ? She said why is he crying it doesnt hurt just pops the dr was baffled dont worry he asked the man if it was ok to tell her first he didnt break any rules ) what hurts everyone was just a quick pop for her lol so off she went to school no hearing aids and she would lip read best she could they knew to crouch to her level and look at her if they needed to talk to her.
What people dont realise been deaf even profound deaf you have a sort of hearing and hearing people who dont understand think hearing aids just make what you hear like someone hearing would hear it doesnt work that way it makes it louder but not clearly like how we hear it as a hearing person. And in a normal situation when you remove your hearing aids you can hear something but when you have a ear infection thats gone totally gone they may hear a phone before even without aids but with a infection there will be no sound at all my daughter explained this when she was old enough to understand as i niticed she would stop watching tv or listening to music as she doesnt wear her aids at all at home anyway things just get turned up in volume even though she classed as servere hearing loss profound in high tones she just so used to not wearing them for over 6 years she found it too noisy when she got the aids after the excitement wore off of hearing new sounds so they come off as soon as shes home lol we dont mind it gives her a break but her drs hate it and we can tell if shes not had them in for ages such as when she had school holidays as her speach starts to sound different she starts talking as you expect deaf people to talk her speach is normally great you cant tell shes deaf thanks to excessive training with speach therapy since she learnt to talk it started even before she got her aids at age 6 we were told never let her learn sign which annoyed me i tried to fight it but i was told dont do it as uts something they no longer teach a way to make the deaf community fit in a hearing world i hated it and its something i regret not teaching her but its never used in schools even schools for the deaf they only used it during break times so she struggles in deaf club talking to other kids there but its made her work harder on speach and lip reading etc which makes her be able to communicate well with pretty much everyone except her own deaf community as they learn sign as most have deaf parents were hearing but fully deaf aware due to deaf family i knew sign from a very young age but its something i wanted to teach her but was told by specialists i was never to teach her sign even if i knew it. I broke the rules and taught her a few signs encouraging ones good girl, well done, you alright for when she wasnt near but i could see her worry so i could let her know i was there if needed but i wasnt allowed to teach her to have a conversation in sign like i was taught when i was younger. I also taught her amimals and any word sign she asked to learn if i forgot we got out the special book i have and learnt together oh i was in trouble but didnt care lol
so the thought of him sat there in front of a ringing phone is very funny. If your a child who doesnt get hearing aids till later say age six like my daughter did they have to relearn what they thought they heard it sounds different so first day she had her aids we had to convince her we had not changed her name and explain why cars made sound and explain every new sound it was fascinating we didnt know she was missing so much. Its why even with aids deaf people who do bsl or asl still sign so they do know exactly whats been said. My daughter has high tone deafness so misses many letters completely f s and some other dont exist at all so she was trained to include letters in things she didnt hear so zoe would be oey jasmine flower jabwin our i know it strange this simulator is great at showing just how deaf people hear but its not perfect when it gets to servere it sounds more like garbage said by some crazy deamon we heard a real simulator at a deaf school we heard crazy strange noise she got hello whats your name 😐 lol

Please tell me your not saying sorry because shes deaf as there is nothing to be sorry about i played hell with the dr when he said he had bad news and he was so very sorry she was deaf i was so angry with him and told him never tell a parent your sorry their child is deaf again its the reason people treat the deaf the way they do because they are not taught correctly been deaf is not a issue but people hate it because its different they dont understand it children learn from parents so as soon as she got aids and people saw she was deaf then we got we dont our children associated with a child like that children who played with her were either told not too or removed to a different school when they ignored their parents like in the case of her best friend as her mother didnt want her daughter been friends with a child like that and why wasnt she locked up in a special place for people like that 😕 you learn quickly not to have birthday parties inviting the whole class as no one will come and she learnt when the class is invited to a party that didnt include her. The parents learnt from their parents been deaf is bad they should be still sent away locked up and throw away the key sadly this attitude is passed down each generation and still that is taught today. Please if you have kids teach them deaf doesnt mean bad doesnt mean they are different and yes you should be friends with them just like with any disability let kids choose who they should be friends with regardless of colour or disability as they are not born to hate these people they are taught it id live to see a generation where it doesnt matter to anyone who their child wants to be friends with 🙂
Its the reason i did the post i wanted to explain that sutuatiin better explain how deaf people hear teach people to understand educate what they dont always understand

Funny enough, that wasn't the reason why the asshole boss wasn't fired. It was (as noted in the story) an issue with workers during pregnancy (law wasn't followed which was a huge no no)
The story of the deaf lady being made to do phone duties when she had no way of being able to hear anything pissed me off. If something like that happened to me, I would look for another job. I really hope OP switched jobs after what she went through.

Or OP could have just taken FMLA or temporary disability leave until the infections cleared up. That guy and HR were jackasses, but when you've got a disability it's YOUR job to make sure your paperwork is in order, your employer just has to abide by it. There's errors on both sides on that one - if it's a true story.

I mean, technically it does. You don't think the water can be described as hot before it's done heating it? Like, my shower gets unreasonably hot. That means the already hot water is continued to be heated after it's already hot.
Anyway, I don't actually know anyone who calls them hot water heaters. We primarily call them boilers or water boilers around here.
the best part about the story with Rick the Prick is that this was obvious that Rick was setting op up, and they had evidence, meaning if he was actually fired and what not he could sue Rick PERSONALLY instead of the company. Because of this, I wouldve brought in a bunch of demands that if not put in place immediately, would result in said legal action against Rick.

That deaf OP is a mood. I used to always get ear infections, and they absolutely suck
RE the OP who got “free money” from their bank, while your explanation covered the opportunity cost of the low interest rate, that isn’t what OP meant by free money. They meant that they got $22,000 in 2008 with an interest rate that was less than the monetary inflation rate. So while OP paid back about $24,000 to the bank, inflation was rendering the value of those payments lower every year so that, in the constant value of 2008 dollars , OP only ended up paying back about $20,000. So OP profited off the bank that tried to screw them. And they used the savings to pay off other higher interest debts, and probably did invest some in stocks as you mention.
14% interest to 27% interest? Ohmygod that's highway robbery
OMG the story of the person who couldn't hear being told to answer the phone had me DYING laughing. I almost spit out my coffee. Welcome to corporate America stupidity.
As someone who is hard of hearing, I look forward to the day I can implement my own malicious compliance with the phones.
It won't be to the extreme of not being able to hear the phones ringing nonstop, but phonecalls are near impossible for me because I'll hear the person on the other end, yeah, but I will not be able to understand about half the words that come out of their mouth. My friends know that they either have to shout at me or call from somewhere that is *completely silent* because otherwise, I can't understand them at all!

I had police come knocking at my door years ago (20+) asking for me. I said, yes, that's me, and they then tried to arrest me for an assault that happened on the other side of the city. I protested that I was never over there, hadn't been in forever, as there is nothing that I need over there. My wife had to confirm that. it was only when they checked the birthday's that they realised I was the wrong person. We even shared the same birthday, but the other guy was a year ahead of me. So, this guy had the same name AND the same birthday as me, but one year earlier. What are the odds!
My niece was born deaf and wore sparkly pink hearing aids until she got her surgeries. One supply teacher at school told her to remove them and put plain ones in as they weren’t uniform. So my 8 year old niece took out her hearing aids. She didn’t have plain ones just the glittery pink ones. The teacher started doing the register and when she said my niece’s name, she didn’t respond. The teacher started shouting at her for being rude. My niece knew exactly what she was saying as she can lip read but just sat there. When the teacher was finished, she looked at her and said “I can’t hear you I don’t have my hearing aids in as they’re not school uniform.” I was so proud
That ‘OMG!!!’ sound was great!!!
I had a similar story from my mother, who was taken off basically "project supervisor" duties to do phone work because she temporarily was unable to quickly and accurately communicate what she needed to - because she had laryngitis. Most of the communication with the people on the project was through email or other electronic messaging, and the rest was also not time critical enough that writing on a notepad would be too slow. 100% of the communication through the phone was verbal. Guess which was impacted more by her not being able to raise her voice above like 10 decibels but still being able to write and type?

I have a senior engineer I work with, great guy, and the two of us have the same background. We started out as grunts on the ground before making the switch to engineering. He is older, and has gone def in both his ears to the point he needs to wear hearing aids. I have watched him take his hearing aids out before a meeting, so he didn't have to participate. These meetings served no purpose, think meeting to discuss a meeting. Every time we went into one of these meetings he would say he had an ear infection and couldn't wear his hearing aids. Just makes me wish I could use that excuse at times. LOL
Hey I wanna thank you!!! I’m had a really tough morning today. We had to put my dog down. He was 15 and we couldn’t find him for hours. Finally we found him and he can’t walk real good and kept tripping. When we had him, around 2 years ago he lost some of his sight. Now he was fully blind. I searched up some stuff and it turns out he had all the systems for a stroke. Right now as I’m typing he’s being put down. I have been bawling tears for at least 30-45min. Then I got on TH-cam and started watching this. I had stopped crying even when I’m typing this. I want to let you now that you helped me through one of the hardest moments in my life. When that one guy said “all good things come to an end”. I smiled thinking about my dog Bandit. Im know glad that my dog is in a better place. THANK YOU ❤️. May Bandit Rest In Peace.
I'm not even deaf and I got double ear infections one year and essentially went deaf for at least a week. The loudest setting on my TV now sounded barely audible, I feel for people without their senses!

"Seriously, who asks a person who's deaf without hearing aids to go on phone duty?!"
An idiot, that's who.
So the boss of the deaf person knew they couldn't hear because in the story he had written down the words for them to read and still got mad they couldn't hear the phone? How dense are they?
I have a similar story to the first one. For the last few years someone has confused my personal email account as their own with various websites ranging from medical, children's schooling, banking, magazines, and any number of other stores. Unfortunately, no amount of reaching out to any of this made a difference until it reached the point of receiving weekly and sometimes daily updates on a child's schooling and homework assignments. I attempted to reach out to the teacher in hopes they would be able to get it to stop as these updates included very personal information about a young child including when they went to the school nurse feeling sick. When that did not work out I ultimately dug a bit deeper and found the Principal's contact information. Reaching out to them thankfully worked and they apologized for a lack of response from the teacher; but, my final response was that I figured the teacher was busy and ultimately it was not their mistake given the family clearly provided an incorrect email address. Since then, the number of incorrect messages have decreased drastically so thankfully I will no longer receive such a close look into another person's life.

I use to work at AT&T in customer service. Occasionally I would get a cold and if I don't catch it quick enough I get laryngitis. I went to work letting them know and was told there was no paperwork so they told me to answer the phones. I tried 3 times so each time customer would get angry and demanded the manager. Finally building manager told me to go home. I said no because I was forced to say especially since I tried to not get online anyway, eventually they sent me home with full day pay and no points against me.
*customer service made $8+ an hour.
*manager made $18+ an hour
*building made approx. $25+ hour.
Each call went to corporate. They complained about treatment to employees.

Having a deaf guy answer phones is like asking someone with both arms broken to lift cargo
The deaf person story: how is his boss and HR that socially unaware? How does it not compute with them that perhaps phone duty is a stupid thing to ask of their deaf worker when they say their ears are acting up too much for their hearing aids?
Look, I'm sometimes slow on the uptake (crossed wires up the wazoo in my brain) but I'd like to think I'm more on the ball than this person's boss.
The "OH MY GOD!!!" at the end cracked me up...just was not expecting it.
I was expecting rslash to call his grandmother Gslash
3:23 so fun fact: hot drinks/food actually just make you colder, because, essentially, your body detects the heat now and goes “oh, we’re hot now? Cool!” and eventually overcompensates for the heat of the food.
So basically, the boss is an even bigger dumbass than the story shows.
The more you know (insert that meme here).
Yeah, putting your foot on a hot vent then taking it off makes your foot feel cooler, not hotter
I think Malicious Compliance is my favorite subreddit.
I cringed at the start of the 1st story, when OP was asking them to get his email removed from the account. It's not his account, and the Netflix rep KNEW OP wasn't the account holder. I've never worked with Netflix, but I do work for a company that takes personal info from customers. That info is taken to verify security, to ensure the person calling is who they say they are, and has the authority to make changes. You can't just go into someone's account and make changes without their consent. It's a HUGE security violation. Like, yeah, it's annoying because you know it's not the right email, but that's on the account holder to get it fixed, not OP.
That bank story happened to me.
I just happened to move to a town where another person has my same name. First and last.
The only difference is our middle initial.
I deposited money one time and was super thankful I said "yes" to the receipt, because I noticed a far different balance than it should have gone to, so I was like "Wait, I think you put this in the wrong account."
Turns out they had, because they ALSO bank at my bank.
So now I have to go in and say my FULL name every time.
XD
I also had to show ID for the first year or two I lived here, because when I would hand my card to a cashier, they'd look at the name, look at me, squint a bit and have that "you're not them" look on.
My joke at work is that a co-worker of mine is safe in her job because she can answer the phone but I can't (unless they want to lose customers).
International company and a severe hearing loss...wonderful
6:57 we seriously need to see if we can get jeffrey dean morgan to read this story, prefaced with the intro
"y'ever hear the one about the stupid little prick named rick that thought he knew shit but didnt know shit? it's about this guy"
I got laryngitis one time at a temp job with General Dynamics because they kept the building below 60 degrees inside... on the 1800medicare contract... they made me sit on the phone a full 45 minuets before my supervisor asked me why I wasn't talking. I wrote on my little white board, "I told you have laryngitis you dumb shit." She finally decided to let me use my sick time for the rest of the day.
