Second story, I’d just wait a minute and call the cops. “Hello, some lady just abandoned her kid with me. I have no idea who she was and she just said, watch my kid, and left. Can you send an officer and do you send social workers or do I have to call them??”
About 40 years ago, I was at a club with my 4 year old son, they had a games room for children. We went for the seafood raffle followed by the meat raffle. My son was playing with another boy in the games room, I was sitting just outside of the games room, so I could keep an eye on my son. This woman came up to me, and said that her son was playing with my son, and that she just had to go across the road to buy some cigarettes, and could I keep an eye on her son. As soon as she left, her son started running around everywhere he shouldn't go, so I was chasing this kid around, waiting on his mother to return. Four hours later, she came back with two guys. She just said, thanks, no apology, no explanation. I had to buy her kid lunch, and drinks, no offer to pay me back, just nothing. Never watched another child, that wasn't mine, at that club again.
Agreeing to watch someone's kid can lead to facing charges of attempted kidnapping so if someone ever does that to me better believe I'm calling the cops. How do I know it can lead to that? I had a woman do that to me in a grocery store and she called the police saying I had snatched her kid off her cart. The police walked in as I was handing the kid off to an employee, the store didn't have cameras so it would have been my word against a woman acting hysterical saying I tried to make off with her kid but they listened to me since I was handing the kid off. People are all kinds of crazy so cover your a**.

Story 5 Always press charges when someone assaults you. People never learn unless they face consequences and because of O.P not pressing charges a little dog was hurt.
There is so much to this story! I mean, who will follow somebody and enter the property with a stick for a situation "he didn't obey me to do my shopping for me"? It would be the equivalent that just have a shoulder contact by accident cause I didn't look in a crowlded place, say "sorry" and get punch in the face. The punch is far from an "appropriate" response to the situation!
@@SLOTHSRIDEUNICORNS Too bad the dog wasn't a guard dog who was trained to jump on her, knock her down, & bite the living hell out of her. OP already had the police called on that same woman at a DIFFERENT location. There is no way they would say the dog was dangerous; she was holding a stick that was able to severely injure the dog. That woman needs to be locked up in a psych ward; she's dangerous.

Relocate their facial features to the other side of their head, and do not stop until they stop moving. Almost none of these stories mention anything about self defense, or moving to an offense when attacked. I am starting to think that's because the people who know how to respond and fight back don't bother writing about it. It's not as fun of a read to see "somebody slapped me, so I broke their face and both arms and walked away" versus the usual crazy Karen screaming. I mean, I am always armed. Even asleep. Okay. Maybe not in the shower. But otherwise, yes. If someone slapped me, they will be lucky to keep that hand attached to an arm. The knife I always have on me deploys faster than even I can see, and I own it. They will never see what hits them. And that's only the quick response. It's meant to buy some time to move away from the threat and allow for more complicated options. None of them are good for a slapper.
Can you imagine the police report from Louis Vuitton lady. "No, officer, I didn't ask the employee's name. Yes, officer I can describe ummm her? Looked too poor to afford a uniform, was eating a classic Caesar salad, much too nice for her pay level. How do I know? Homemade croutons, of course. What did she say? Nothing, of course. She looked at me with that stupid face all poor people use. I was back in no time. She _should have waited for me!_ " "CPS.! _WHY?_ "
And the report “I don’t know what happened, officer. I thought she was talking on her cell phone, and then she just abandoned her child. She might need to be put under psychiatric hold for observation, if she thinks that’s an OK thing to do.”
I couldn't understand that either. I know he thinks he can look after himself but what if she had a gun? What if a child had run out and she'd hit them? The poor dog to be hit like that.
Yes, but I would have acted in the store: CL, thrusting her shopping list in my hand: "Get these things for me, NOW." OP: "Oh, is this list for me?" CL: "Yes, get a move on." OP tears the list into small shreds, thereby rendering it useless. CL: "WTF? Why have you destroyed my shopping list?" OP: "You gave it to me and said it was for me. But I didn't want it, so I scrapped it."
It's BS. After all that talk of "this is my profession", they do the one thing no-one would do. I wouldn't be worrying about her trying to get physical with me, either, but I would be worried about what she could do to my house, my car, my pets, especially when I wasn't home. He should've finished with "and then there was a parade".
Story 5: pretty odd that the post just ends without any resolution. You’d think OP would mention what happened after the crazy lady attacked the poor dog.
Yeah, I was kinda skeptical of the story by the end of it, cuz it just glosses over the moment after the dog was attacked to where the owner of said dog doesn’t blame him.
If someone follows you to your house after an altercation I can safely say that no sane minded individual would act like OP. Period. Regardless of their employment. Just going to say this story was either embellished to glamour or complete bullshit.
He's an ex cop and not in an English speaking country he said so I think he figured she was just a crazy old lady and he could handle her. We don't have to worry about guns here in the UK but even so if I thought somebody was following me the last place I'd go is home. I also saw a young woman online give good advice for if you live in an apartment and you think a man was watching/following you. She said to not turn your lights on as soon as you get in because then they will know which apartment you're in! I had never thought about that before.
@@shendisackettThat's good advice, but would not work in my town in Sweden, in our apartment buildings in one area, the whole front is in glass windows and the stairs are wery visible. And the hallway lights up automatically when you walk trough the door. So you can't hide they will see you.
Story 3: "Well, officer. I THOUGHT she assaulted me for not washing her car, but as she just asked me to service her, I think that would be assault for solicitation under duress?"
Well he was walking so I guess it depends how far away it is. Personally in that instance I would head for a shop, as in the UK we don't have police stations in every town like we used to. If I was in a car I would probably head for a 24 hour garage that way there are other people around whilst you call for help.
No moving the kid could have gotten OP charged. They should have called the cops and reported the baby as abandoned. Then stay right where she was until the police showed up.
Store Schedule: OP and their Manager broke the Law, once OP gives Notice, that's it, when OP's Notice Period ends, Legally, OP is not an Employee anymore... The Manager can NOT Legally be placed on the Schedule anymore...nor is OP required (or allowed for that matter) to work any Illegally Scheduled Shifts...
I just had an IDWHL event. I had just purchased 3 packets of chicken (showing my membership on entry, and having my membership scanned on self-checkout), when a staff stopped me and demanded to see my IDs. Not my membership, my IDs. I drew my baton, told him "NO! GET TF away from me!" I left, with my purchased chicken, checked out by the exit staff. As I departed the self-check lane, I heard the short, portly AH complaining that he had been yelled at 3 times. He will get beaten or killed within days if he continues. I suppose that the little AH considered me a Karen. If he is (unlikely) still employed the next time I visit in a week or two, I'll urge CS to get this self-important AH taught how not to get himself killed.
17:20 - Hiding in bushes and following OP home? This woman has gone from entitled to just plain unhinged! 18:30 - Okay, now I'm pissed! I hope they lock her up and make sure the other prisoners know what she did. There must be a few women in her cellblock willing to make life hell for someone who viciously hits a poor little dog!
story 5: sigh...ALWAYS.PRESS.CHARGES!!! some people just don't learn otherwise. and, if they have a police record, they're less likely to get away with it in the future.
The ex-cop/security officer should have known NOT to lead a stalker directly to your home. It's a shame that a poor dog had to pay the price for the stupidity.
I used to work at a bar/restaurant . I closed the night before, but I had forgotten something, so the next morning i opened to get it, and the owners had changed the codes. Long story short, they said I was trying to steal and that I had given away free pool all night. Idiot opened the pool table for free pool before he left the night before. I was fired!! So I called the police and let them know he was selling pot in the back and had talked about growing on the new farm they bought. Some customer I ran into said the cops kept coming in...sucks to be you!! Maybe don't fire someone who knows your secrets.
It sounds like the dog may have died from it so Im assuming cops would have ended up involved either way. Regardless, the fact that she gets that physical with complete strangers and then stalks them onto their property with a weapon is scary, especially if she doesn't have an actual mental illness and legitimately thinks she is in the right to do any of that
To be honest the story sounds like bullshit. The first part? Believable sure. Second part? Nah. If *anyone follows you to your house* you would not be playing it off as nothing is happening. Most people would have contacted police before even going home. Pretty sure the second part was bullshit.....and why would the friends dog just rush past OP and to a complete stranger first? Every dog I have had or visited always showed attention to the owner or familiar person first.
I don’t know the laws in the country in particular, nor the level of respect for police, but, if the OP was, indeed, retired police of some sort, and someone was following … wandering over to the local barracks would be my goto. Either it would appropriately scare her off, or, if it didn’t, there would be no doubt that she wasn’t in her right mind.
I've been followed multiple times while driving in my car. Each time I either drove to the nearest police station or fire station. You wouldn't believe how fast the person following me takes off.
In the UK my local fire station isn't open all the time and our police station was closed and merged with another town. So the recommendation here normally is to head for a 24 hour garage or shop. So you will be with other people in a brightly lit area whilst calling for help.
#2 You never just dump your kid onto some random stranger and speed off to do some stuff. Not even in a small village. What was that lady NOT thinking ? #3 Entitled Karen just decided that OP could ONLY be there because he was working at the car wash and thus, MUST absolutely serve her. Proceed to commit a felony in front of a police officer. Then, she add assault on a police officer and resisting arrest to her charges. #4 That manager is an idiot or just plain stupid. He obviously changed the alarm code and neglected to inform OP of the change. #5 In such a situation, just look at the Karen, say «I... Do... Not... Work... Here... Karen...» while tearing the grocery list to pieces in such a way that she can see all of it, and finish by giving her the pieces back. OP should call the police on her, press charges for assault, stalking, trespassing, assault with a weapon, intentionally wounding the neighbour's dog and possibly a few other.
I just quit my job as a cashier last Saturday. I was SO sick of dealing with idiot customers. On Friday night, a snot-nosed teenager said that she’d fight me in the parking lot! I’ll be 66 next month. Would that be a fair fight??
“Hey kid, that’s a lose-lose scenario. If I beat you, you just got beat up by someone old enough to be your granddaddy. If you beat me, there is this thing called ‘elder abuse’ which is 5-7 years in jail. Look it up Sonny.”
Story 2 - I would taken the kid inside the store and told someone that some crazy woman abandoned this baby outside the store before going inside. I mean what a stupid woman. Leaving her child outside in the care of a stranger while she shops.
Shirt Story: OP was a MORON!!! Karen learned NOTHING from being temporarily held even if she did pay for the shirt! ALWAYS, ALWAYS, ALWAYS PRESS CHARGES!!! And if they follow you away from the store, NEVER LEAD THEM TO YOUR HOME!!!
Story 5: The MOMENT I realised she has a weapon, I'm going full take-down mode, a weapon can change the course of an altercation in the blink of an eye if they get lucky, so you have to treat it as though they WILL get lucky with that swing. There are no rules in a fight for your life, remember that.
He does make clear it wasn't in the US so he probably didn't have to worry about guns. I think he just thought he could handle the crazy lady himself if she confronted him. As a woman I would never lead anyone to my home ever amd here in the UK weapons aren't really an issue but a man could overpower me easily enough. The dog is not his fault though that is 100% her fault, she hit the dog not him. I honestly don't think I'd be able to control myself if I saw somebody hurt an animal like that. I'm pretty sure I'd end up in court as well.
@@shendisackett "here in the UK weapons aren't really an issue" I'm sorry, but that is a load of bollocks. Fellow Brit here and knife/offensive weapon crime is so prevalent in this country that we could introduce it as a competitive sport the next time we next host the olympics. People have been stabbed to death in this country over chips. If Mr "I'm this and I'm that" took a second to rub 2 brain cells together and acutally have a think, things wouldn't have gone so far.
@@Connor-ONeill well not in my area it's not and the homicide figures published yearly also suggest it isn't as prevalent as you claim, roughly 2 people die a day from murder in the UK, which is a lot lower than some countries. This is down significantly from the 1990s. There is an issue with teenage boys and knives but that doesn't really affect adults like me, and is largely because their parents are not questioning their kids about what they're doing. Overall crime levels have been consistently falling in the last 20 years.
@@shendisackett "Not in my area" bully for you. While overall crime levels are down, the number of knife/offensive weapon related crimes in the country keep going up. Just last year they hit a 76 year high. So don't go saying weapons aren't an issue, because they are.
Always press charges to prevent a worse out come for the entitled people's victims. Imagine in the last story the dog wasn't thier she would most definitely hit you in the head, now if you would have been several injured only god knows but if they did press charges at the store the dog would have been ok.
Fifth story: "My manners are right, I was a teacher and I'm going to be a b*tch to you for no reason". I bet she was "forced to retired early" (Was fired.) because of being the living image of Dolores Umbridge. Edit: I see someone react like that lady with the dog and I go apesh*t. No police, the psycho agressor and I with knives shirtless.
Child Story: OP was foolish...the moment Karen left her kid in OP's care, she should have IMMEDIATELY pulled out her phone and called 911 to report Child Endangerment and Child Abandonment... I would have...
Car Wash Story: Karen is lucky she didn't do that to me... I have bad shoulder and hip joints so the moment she grabbed me and tried to haul me over to the car wash, I'd have smashed her teeth in with my metal cane in an attempt to stop the agony she's causing me by pulling on my shoulder...yes, the rapid, jerk of me swinging my metal cane as hard as I possibly can will also hurt like hell, but I'd already be destined for the Emergency Room for an X-Ray and Ultrasound (to make sure she didn't cause additional damage to my shoulder joint) and a Demerol Shot (like Morphine, it's the GOOD Shit Mon and only Legally available at the Hospital, it's also not quite as addictive as Morphine) cause of her so it would be worth it... If she did cause more damage, then I'd be adding to her Charges and Suing her in Court for several 10's of Thousands of Dollars for it, I'm Mobility Restricted enough thank you, if anyone does more damage that increases the Restrictions I suffer, they WILL be paying through the nose (and Wallet) for it...
Yeah she knew she was in the wrong otherwise she would have been there to be the whistleblower. Also I hope that they put a trace on her calling in like that for a misuse of the 911 services. You have to give your name and address if you plan on making a complaint or ask for an officer.
You're my favorite youtuber, I always listen to you when I'm taking notes and drawing! You're very expressive when reading which makes you more fun to listen to than other reddit readers for me
The last story. Damn the OP is so incompetent I'm impressed he is still alive. I'm pretty sure someone will pull the knife to meet you and he'll be like oh a hissy fit. I just wished it was him and not the dog. Poor dog.
Where are these magical stores where you bring your shopping list and the employees do your shopping? I have wondered about these since hearing these types of stories...
My great aunt ran a green grocer during (and after) the US depression, and that is how her (and most, at the time) stores worked. You didn’t get to wander spacious isles, pick the produce you want, maybe sample things while you are there, get seduced by the end cap deals, and then check out. You would hand your list to the grocer who would get (or more likely send one of the many family children to get, can’t leave the storefront unattended, you know) your list tell you what they didn’t have, and figure your charge.
Story 5: "This guy didn't obey me AND almost got me arrested! How DARE he?! Better follow him to his house and murder him!" There are too many people that think that makes perfect sense.
That last lady is lucky she doesn't live somewhere people are allowed to carry firearms or defend themselves on their own property. I would also be amused by her audacity, but after she attacked an innocent animal, she wouldn't be walking away. I have zero respect for people who do stuff like this and actively have negative respect for those who harm animals. She deserves the same injury she caused the helpless animal. Call me sexist if you want, but as a man, I would never hit a woman unless I actually felt threatened for my safety or that of my loved ones but what she did to that poor animal deserves a lesson at that point, completely restrained, and not released until she is in cuffs in the back of a police cruiser.
Story 2: I would have been calling the police in under 10 seconds for the child abandonment. If nothing else...the kid would be removed from the dangerous parent. Story 3: Karen commits Assault & Battery...Harassment...Kidnaping...Attempted Slavery...on OP. Three of these are felonies. I would press those charges against her. Story 4: OP should have suggested the police officer check the manager for illicit substances because NOBODY can be that stupid without being stoned out of their gourd. Story 5: Always. Press. Charges. Karen's will never stop putting their hands on people until they are held responsible for their assaults. Also don't let them follow you HOME!
Last story seems a good indicator of why you should get the authorities involved... She got away with her actions, and sought vengeance for her imagined slight, preventable.
Yeah which Opie would come back with a comment an update or or something she literally almost killed the dog and try to attack Opie and stalked him that's like five or six charges right there she should have gone at least five years in jail
Story 3: The Husband: "Are you going to keep her all weekend? I was going to invite the lads over for the game but they never want to come over when the pyscho is around."
Story 2: No one with any level of common sense would ever leave their child with a stranger. While most people don't want your child and aren't psychopathic enough to do something horrible to a small child, you don't know if this random stranger is.
Story 2: I would have totally move the child, taking them in to go shopping when I was done eating (waving at the cameras), and wait for the cops to come.
@@merlinathrawes746 They won't call the cops though. They page the mom. My idea is having the mom call on herself and back myself up with as many cameras as possible. "Officer, please note on the security cameras that she entered the store at XX:XX without her baby, and I entered the store at YY:YY, after eating a lunch, to try and find the mom and get the child out of the sun. I just worry about what would have happened if she left her baby next to a more nefarious stranger..." Chances are the mom would just get a bit of a scolding, but there would be a record in case this is a recurring thing.
Dropped off baby story: If I was thinking hard enough I would have spoken to the management of the grocery store about the situation. If she was a regular customer maybe she could have been identified and a gentle warning given her that the store does not babysit! Car wash story: I'm mildly curious as to what OP was wearing that would make PB think he worked for the car wash. I wondeWhenevr how long the husband took to bail her out if that was her normal behavior? Blockbuster story: This actually is partly the fault of OP for NOT contacting the manager when he saw he was still on the schedule past his quitting date. Yeah, a mistake was made in scheduling, but... Injured dog story: Yep OP, you GOOFED! Whenever someone is entitled or crazy enough to physically assault you in a "public" setting, such as a store, and demanding you do things for them you contact the police and press charges! Shoot, once you saw her tailing you, you should have contacted the police. That was a clear sign things were going to escalate. I don't need to be a cop or PI to know that! Besides, you never want to let the crazies know where you live!
Story 2. I will never understand why people leave their children with random strangers! Again, this woman is lucky OP wasn't a pedophile or a human organ trafficker because otherwise, she'd never see her baby ever again unless it was in pieces in a morgue!
If someone in a supermarket gives me a list of items to get, I'm gonna agree to do so, head off and as soon as I'm around a corner, shred the list and move on with my day. Let her wait, thinking the task is being done.
If I had some time to kill I might try to grab all the items close to, but clearly incorrect to what she had listed (skipping any cold/frozen items altogether, incase they just abandoned the cart later) wrong size/flavour etc.
Nope, not going to give anyone the idea I'm at their beck and call, especially after stating that I don't work there. I'll either drop the list on the floor and walk away or take the list to the service desk and tell them a crazy lady wants this stuff.
If someone leaves their baby with me, I’d take it into the store and tell the manager to call the police because someone just gave me the baby and walked off.
All bets of decorum are nullified when dogs are involved. That piece of absolute garbage woman in the last story would be unconscious, on the ground...YOU DONT HARM DOGS, KIDS OR ANY INNOCENT BEINGS, EVER, PERIOD
I’m not sure why people are so polite to these people. If someone is rude to you you don’t have to be polite to them. I’m Canadian and I wouldn’t put up with that shit
I will never get over the shock of People leaving their kids with random people, don't have kids if you can't care for them and don't have reliable trusted people to watch when you need to do things!
The tale where the mom leaves her kid with a stranger: When I was learning to drive, the woman teaching me asked to skip our lesson two days before the test to get my drivers because her water broke that morning 😅. Two days later, she shows up with her two baby to take me to the appointment. My mother came with so I would have a car to get home, and this woman asked her - a woman she had never met before - to watch her two day old baby - while she takes me around the track to point out all the places the tester was going to try and fail me. This woman was amazing ❤
Thats what i was thinking. Move with the stroller where she can keep an eye out and when the woman panics and calls the cops. Let the cops come and walk up saying "Oh good youre here. I had to go back to (place of work) to let them know that some random lady left their what I am assuming is their kid with me a complete stranger."
If some stranger left their child with me, the very first thing that I would have done is call the police. Then it would have been a race to see who got there first. But no. I am NOT watching someone else's child. I'm child free. Always have been, always will be. Some people are cut out to be parents but one has to know their limitations and I'm not parent material. Not even for ten minutes, thank you.
If someone like the mom from story 2 did that to me. I'd call the police and tell them I was bringing in an abandoned child and leave her at the station. People like that deserve to he reported.

Looked too poor to afford a uniform, was eating a classic Caesar salad, much too nice for her pay level. How do I know? Homemade croutons, of course. What did she say? Nothing, of course. She looked at me with that stupid face all poor people use. I was back in no time. She _should have waited for me!_ " "CPS.! _WHY?_ "
And the report “I don’t know what happened, officer. I thought she was talking on her cell phone, and then she just abandoned her child. She might need to be put under psychiatric hold for observation, if she thinks that’s an OK thing to do.”
Story 5: Hard agree. It was really, really stupid to know they were being followed and lead that crazy woman straight to their home.
I couldn't understand that either. I know he thinks he can look after himself but what if she had a gun? What if a child had run out and she'd hit them? The poor dog to be hit like that.
I agree too. Thinking the story might be fake. Surely an ex cop wouldn’t be so stupid!
Yes, but I would have acted in the store:
CL, thrusting her shopping list in my hand: "Get these things for me, NOW."
OP: "Oh, is this list for me?"
CL: "Yes, get a move on."
OP tears the list into small shreds, thereby rendering it useless.
CL: "WTF? Why have you destroyed my shopping list?"
OP: "You gave it to me and said it was for me. But I didn't want it, so I scrapped it."
Probably overconfidence due to being used to dangerous situations. So dumb to bring that home with you though.
It's BS. After all that talk of "this is my profession", they do the one thing no-one would do. I wouldn't be worrying about her trying to get physical with me, either, but I would be worried about what she could do to my house, my car, my pets, especially when I wasn't home. He should've finished with "and then there was a parade".
Story 5: pretty odd that the post just ends without any resolution. You’d think OP would mention what happened after the crazy lady attacked the poor dog.
Yeah, I was kinda skeptical of the story by the end of it, cuz it just glosses over the moment after the dog was attacked to where the owner of said dog doesn’t blame him.
If someone follows you to your house after an altercation I can safely say that no sane minded individual would act like OP. Period. Regardless of their employment. Just going to say this story was either embellished to glamour or complete bullshit.
It's fake
@@Skrulzieat least it was more realistic than story 3
I hope she is sent to prison for a time.
No cop under ANY circumstances would ever allow a suspect to follow them home.
He's an ex cop and not in an English speaking country he said so I think he figured she was just a crazy old lady and he could handle her. We don't have to worry about guns here in the UK but even so if I thought somebody was following me the last place I'd go is home. I also saw a young woman online give good advice for if you live in an apartment and you think a man was watching/following you. She said to not turn your lights on as soon as you get in because then they will know which apartment you're in! I had never thought about that before.
@@shendisackettThat's good advice, but would not work in my town in Sweden, in our apartment buildings in one area, the whole front is in glass windows and the stairs are wery visible. And the hallway lights up automatically when you walk trough the door. So you can't hide they will see you.
Story 3: "Well, officer. I THOUGHT she assaulted me for not washing her car, but as she just asked me to service her, I think that would be assault for solicitation under duress?"
Story 2: OP should have called the police about an abandoned child.
Story 5: makes me wonder what sort of teacher she was if she's grabbing random people because she couldn't get her way. Ugh!
If someone is following you, drive to the Police Station.
Well he was walking so I guess it depends how far away it is. Personally in that instance I would head for a shop, as in the UK we don't have police stations in every town like we used to. If I was in a car I would probably head for a 24 hour garage that way there are other people around whilst you call for help.
Story 2: You should have taken the stroller up to your office area, and contacted CPS.
No moving the kid could have gotten OP charged. They should have called the cops and reported the baby as abandoned. Then stay right where she was until the police showed up.
Second story: Glad you’re back ma’am. That’ll be $60 at my usual hourly rate during my meal break.
Oof last story, I would totally go beyond myself if someone hurt an animal like that.
Yep I'm pretty sure I'd have grabbed the stick and hit her.
Store Schedule: OP and their Manager broke the Law, once OP gives Notice, that's it, when OP's Notice Period ends, Legally, OP is not an Employee anymore...
The Manager can NOT Legally be placed on the Schedule anymore...nor is OP required (or allowed for that matter) to work any Illegally Scheduled Shifts...
Last story is a good example of why you teach your dog to not run out when the door opens
I just had an IDWHL event. I had just purchased 3 packets of chicken (showing my membership on entry, and having my membership scanned on self-checkout), when a staff stopped me and demanded to see my IDs. Not my membership, my IDs. I drew my baton, told him "NO! GET TF away from me!" I left, with my purchased chicken, checked out by the exit staff. As I departed the self-check lane, I heard the short, portly AH complaining that he had been yelled at 3 times. He will get beaten or killed within days if he continues. I suppose that the little AH considered me a Karen. If he is (unlikely) still employed the next time I visit in a week or two, I'll urge CS to get this self-important AH taught how not to get himself killed.
Story 3 actually blew my mind. The rare occasion of cops doing something useful.
No, no. no. YOu call the cops asap. By sitting there eating her salad, OP was essentially taking responsibility for this child. A VERY VERY bad idea.
Story 5: Of course, she's a teacher. Well that settles it. She obviously has perfect manners. 🙄
Sarcasm level 9000.
Story 2 - Yeah, call the cops. If OP moved the stroller, they could have been in a HEAP of trouble
The way to deal with this Karen is to tell her you will get her list and for her to wait right here and then you finish your shopping and leave.
17:20 - Hiding in bushes and following OP home? This woman has gone from entitled to just plain unhinged!
18:30 - Okay, now I'm pissed! I hope they lock her up and make sure the other prisoners know what she did. There must be a few women in her cellblock willing to make life hell for someone who viciously hits a poor little dog!
story 5: sigh...ALWAYS.PRESS.CHARGES!!! some people just don't learn otherwise. and, if they have a police record, they're less likely to get away with it in the future.
The ex-cop/security officer should have known NOT to lead a stalker directly to your home. It's a shame that a poor dog had to pay the price for the stupidity.
I and several people here are calling BS on that story.
@@JamesDavy2009it's totally bs.
@@toritori2299 Join the club. We've got jackets.
Legend has it that Karen’s still try to get the tech from story one arrested for being a thief
I've heard about entitled people who never learn, even after going to jail for a while
I hope that kick costed them 20 years in prison
I used to work at a bar/restaurant . I closed the night before, but I had forgotten something, so the next morning i opened to get it, and the owners had changed the codes. Long story short, they said I was trying to steal and that I had given away free pool all night. Idiot opened the pool table for free pool before he left the night before. I was fired!! So I called the police and let them know he was selling pot in the back and had talked about growing on the new farm they bought. Some customer I ran into said the cops kept coming in...sucks to be you!! Maybe don't fire someone who knows your secrets.
Last story, what was the actual ending?! He left it on a cliffhanger with no telling if he let her get away with it this time or if he got the cops!
It sounds like the dog may have died from it so Im assuming cops would have ended up involved either way. Regardless, the fact that she gets that physical with complete strangers and then stalks them onto their property with a weapon is scary, especially if she doesn't have an actual mental illness and legitimately thinks she is in the right to do any of that
To be honest the story sounds like bullshit. The first part? Believable sure. Second part? Nah. If *anyone follows you to your house* you would not be playing it off as nothing is happening. Most people would have contacted police before even going home. Pretty sure the second part was bullshit.....and why would the friends dog just rush past OP and to a complete stranger first? Every dog I have had or visited always showed attention to the owner or familiar person first.
*PRANKS ARE EVIL!*
I don’t know the laws in the country in particular, nor the level of respect for police, but, if the OP was, indeed, retired police of some sort, and someone was following … wandering over to the local barracks would be my goto. Either it would appropriately scare her off, or, if it didn’t, there would be no doubt that she wasn’t in her right mind.
I've been followed multiple times while driving in my car. Each time I either drove to the nearest police station or fire station. You wouldn't believe how fast the person following me takes off.
In the UK my local fire station isn't open all the time and our police station was closed and merged with another town. So the recommendation here normally is to head for a 24 hour garage or shop. So you will be with other people in a brightly lit area whilst calling for help.
#2 You never just dump your kid onto some random stranger and speed off to do some stuff. Not even in a small village. What was that lady NOT thinking ?
#3 Entitled Karen just decided that OP could ONLY be there because he was working at the car wash and thus, MUST absolutely serve her. Proceed to commit a felony in front of a police officer. Then, she add assault on a police officer and resisting arrest to her charges.
#4 That manager is an idiot or just plain stupid. He obviously changed the alarm code and neglected to inform OP of the change.
#5 In such a situation, just look at the Karen, say «I... Do... Not... Work... Here... Karen...» while tearing the grocery list to pieces in such a way that she can see all of it, and finish by giving her the pieces back. OP should call the police on her, press charges for assault, stalking, trespassing, assault with a weapon, intentionally wounding the neighbour's dog and possibly a few other.
I just quit my job as a cashier last Saturday. I was SO sick of dealing with idiot customers.
On Friday night, a snot-nosed teenager said that she’d fight me in the parking lot! I’ll be 66 next month. Would that be a fair fight??
“Hey kid, that’s a lose-lose scenario. If I beat you, you just got beat up by someone old enough to be your granddaddy. If you beat me, there is this thing called ‘elder abuse’ which is 5-7 years in jail. Look it up Sonny.”
@@susanmcgee5877 congratulations!
I never let my guard down, also call the police to drive home the message they can't hurt people because they say no.
please tell me that poor dog is okay after all the things that happen to dogs in karen stories that one actually upset and scared me
Don't worry, it sounds fake
Always press charges! That is the only way these people will learn!!
Story 2 - I would taken the kid inside the store and told someone that some crazy woman abandoned this baby outside the store before going inside. I mean what a stupid woman. Leaving her child outside in the care of a stranger while she shops.
Shirt Story: OP was a MORON!!! Karen learned NOTHING from being temporarily held even if she did pay for the shirt!
ALWAYS, ALWAYS, ALWAYS PRESS CHARGES!!!
And if they follow you away from the store, NEVER LEAD THEM TO YOUR HOME!!!
Honestly it feels like a fake story. OP is way to dumb for what they described themselves to be
I would have call the cops immediately whether I worked at the store or not
Story 5: The MOMENT I realised she has a weapon, I'm going full take-down mode, a weapon can change the course of an altercation in the blink of an eye if they get lucky, so you have to treat it as though they WILL get lucky with that swing. There are no rules in a fight for your life, remember that.
That last OP is a stereotypical horror movie victim. 🥴
The friends don't blame OP 5 but they should. That poor dog paid the price because of OPs stupid actions.
And he says he used to be a police officer. I don't believe one part of it.
He does make clear it wasn't in the US so he probably didn't have to worry about guns. I think he just thought he could handle the crazy lady himself if she confronted him. As a woman I would never lead anyone to my home ever amd here in the UK weapons aren't really an issue but a man could overpower me easily enough. The dog is not his fault though that is 100% her fault, she hit the dog not him. I honestly don't think I'd be able to control myself if I saw somebody hurt an animal like that. I'm pretty sure I'd end up in court as well.
@@shendisackett "here in the UK weapons aren't really an issue" I'm sorry, but that is a load of bollocks. Fellow Brit here and knife/offensive weapon crime is so prevalent in this country that we could introduce it as a competitive sport the next time we next host the olympics. People have been stabbed to death in this country over chips. If Mr "I'm this and I'm that" took a second to rub 2 brain cells together and acutally have a think, things wouldn't have gone so far.
@@Connor-ONeill well not in my area it's not and the homicide figures published yearly also suggest it isn't as prevalent as you claim, roughly 2 people die a day from murder in the UK, which is a lot lower than some countries. This is down significantly from the 1990s. There is an issue with teenage boys and knives but that doesn't really affect adults like me, and is largely because their parents are not questioning their kids about what they're doing. Overall crime levels have been consistently falling in the last 20 years.
@@shendisackett "Not in my area" bully for you. While overall crime levels are down, the number of knife/offensive weapon related crimes in the country keep going up. Just last year they hit a 76 year high. So don't go saying weapons aren't an issue, because they are.
Always press charges to prevent a worse out come for the entitled people's victims. Imagine in the last story the dog wasn't thier she would most definitely hit you in the head, now if you would have been several injured only god knows but if they did press charges at the store the dog would have been ok.
Fifth story: "My manners are right, I was a teacher and I'm going to be a b*tch to you for no reason". I bet she was "forced to retired early" (Was fired.) because of being the living image of Dolores Umbridge.
Edit: I see someone react like that lady with the dog and I go apesh*t. No police, the psycho agressor and I with knives shirtless.
Child Story: OP was foolish...the moment Karen left her kid in OP's care, she should have IMMEDIATELY pulled out her phone and called 911 to report Child Endangerment and Child Abandonment...
I would have...
Legend says PB's husband is still waiting for his wife. Or just got himself the cheapest divorce ever.
Car Wash Story: Karen is lucky she didn't do that to me...
I have bad shoulder and hip joints so the moment she grabbed me and tried to haul me over to the car wash, I'd have smashed her teeth in with my metal cane in an attempt to stop the agony she's causing me by pulling on my shoulder...yes, the rapid, jerk of me swinging my metal cane as hard as I possibly can will also hurt like hell, but I'd already be destined for the Emergency Room for an X-Ray and Ultrasound (to make sure she didn't cause additional damage to my shoulder joint) and a Demerol Shot (like Morphine, it's the GOOD Shit Mon and only Legally available at the Hospital, it's also not quite as addictive as Morphine) cause of her so it would be worth it...
If she did cause more damage, then I'd be adding to her Charges and Suing her in Court for several 10's of Thousands of Dollars for it, I'm Mobility Restricted enough thank you, if anyone does more damage that increases the Restrictions I suffer, they WILL be paying through the nose (and Wallet) for it...
Grab and drag me.... get clubbed to the ground. Self defense is allowed in my state. 🤨
Yes yes yes. You don't know if they could have joint problems or on the spectrum and start flailing or PTSD.
Attacking someone or manhandling them in any way can be a very dangerous thing. You never know if someone has a concealed carry or knows how to fight.
Yeah she knew she was in the wrong otherwise she would have been there to be the whistleblower. Also I hope that they put a trace on her calling in like that for a misuse of the 911 services. You have to give your name and address if you plan on making a complaint or ask for an officer.
Story 3: I just LOVED how Dark fluff read "I care becuase....."
If you harass a horse its allowed to break your ribs.
I feel it should be legal to do the same to Karens.
Third story: The husband could be there waiting, or he could have seen the police and then knew his own wife screwed up.
You're my favorite youtuber, I always listen to you when I'm taking notes and drawing! You're very expressive when reading which makes you more fun to listen to than other reddit readers for me
I call the cops, she's going to frame me for kidnapping and Sue me for all my money.
The last story. Damn the OP is so incompetent I'm impressed he is still alive. I'm pretty sure someone will pull the knife to meet you and he'll be like oh a hissy fit. I just wished it was him and not the dog. Poor dog.
Last story: She needs to go to jail for what shes do e what a horrible person!!!
Story 2: OP should have called the police and serve that negligent cow right! Poor child 😢
Where are these magical stores where you bring your shopping list and the employees do your shopping? I have wondered about these since hearing these types of stories...
My great aunt ran a green grocer during (and after) the US depression, and that is how her (and most, at the time) stores worked. You didn’t get to wander spacious isles, pick the produce you want, maybe sample things while you are there, get seduced by the end cap deals, and then check out. You would hand your list to the grocer who would get (or more likely send one of the many family children to get, can’t leave the storefront unattended, you know) your list tell you what they didn’t have, and figure your charge.
@@nela9994 A lot of those elderly Karens lived during that time and failed to get with the program.
@@JamesDavy2009 indeed. And isn’t the “prime shopper” with Amazon the modern equivalent? But you have to actually pay for that service.
@@nela9994 Never heard of it and I shopped their website.
You can get that many cops to show up with four simple words
I would’ve used that stick on the lady who hit the dog. Until she didn’t make noise anymore. This story sent me into a rage
That's what I thought. I genuinely wouldn't trust myself if I saw somebody hurt an animal like that.
Story 5: "This guy didn't obey me AND almost got me arrested! How DARE he?! Better follow him to his house and murder him!"
There are too many people that think that makes perfect sense.
That last lady is lucky she doesn't live somewhere people are allowed to carry firearms or defend themselves on their own property. I would also be amused by her audacity, but after she attacked an innocent animal, she wouldn't be walking away. I have zero respect for people who do stuff like this and actively have negative respect for those who harm animals. She deserves the same injury she caused the helpless animal. Call me sexist if you want, but as a man, I would never hit a woman unless I actually felt threatened for my safety or that of my loved ones but what she did to that poor animal deserves a lesson at that point, completely restrained, and not released until she is in cuffs in the back of a police cruiser.
There's nothing sexist about serving indiscriminate, immediate and final justice to those who prey on the most vulnerable beeings among us.
Story 2: I would have been calling the police in under 10 seconds for the child abandonment. If nothing else...the kid would be removed from the dangerous parent.
Story 3: Karen commits Assault & Battery...Harassment...Kidnaping...Attempted Slavery...on OP. Three of these are felonies. I would press those charges against her.
Story 4: OP should have suggested the police officer check the manager for illicit substances because NOBODY can be that stupid without being stoned out of their gourd.
Story 5: Always. Press. Charges. Karen's will never stop putting their hands on people until they are held responsible for their assaults. Also don't let them follow you HOME!
Last story seems a good indicator of why you should get the authorities involved... She got away with her actions, and sought vengeance for her imagined slight, preventable.
Yeah which Opie would come back with a comment an update or or something she literally almost killed the dog and try to attack Opie and stalked him that's like five or six charges right there she should have gone at least five years in jail
The moment OP saw her following him he should have contacted the authorities. That innocent dog might still be alive.
The dog survived, but it was badly injured according to the story.
Story 3: The Husband: "Are you going to keep her all weekend? I was going to invite the lads over for the game but they never want to come over when the pyscho is around."
I love it when you say "don't shake your head to hard" because that's just what I was doing!😅😂🤣OMG
Story 2: No one with any level of common sense would ever leave their child with a stranger. While most people don't want your child and aren't psychopathic enough to do something horrible to a small child, you don't know if this random stranger is.
Story 2: I would have totally move the child, taking them in to go shopping when I was done eating (waving at the cameras), and wait for the cops to come.
Maybe take the kid into the store to the service desk and have the police called. You don't want to be accused of kidnapping.
@@merlinathrawes746 They won't call the cops though. They page the mom. My idea is having the mom call on herself and back myself up with as many cameras as possible.
"Officer, please note on the security cameras that she entered the store at XX:XX without her baby, and I entered the store at YY:YY, after eating a lunch, to try and find the mom and get the child out of the sun. I just worry about what would have happened if she left her baby next to a more nefarious stranger..."
Chances are the mom would just get a bit of a scolding, but there would be a record in case this is a recurring thing.
Story 2. Don't hesitate, call the police straight away. She's not fit to be a mother!!
Bet that car wash was self service
My mom used to leave me on the chair at the tanning salon too but the girl who worked there is still a family friend
Thanks Fluff. Good stories
Dropped off baby story: If I was thinking hard enough I would have spoken to the management of the grocery store about the situation. If she was a regular customer maybe she could have been identified and a gentle warning given her that the store does not babysit!
Car wash story: I'm mildly curious as to what OP was wearing that would make PB think he worked for the car wash. I wondeWhenevr how long the husband took to bail her out if that was her normal behavior?
Blockbuster story: This actually is partly the fault of OP for NOT contacting the manager when he saw he was still on the schedule past his quitting date. Yeah, a mistake was made in scheduling, but...
Injured dog story: Yep OP, you GOOFED! Whenever someone is entitled or crazy enough to physically assault you in a "public" setting, such as a store, and demanding you do things for them you contact the police and press charges! Shoot, once you saw her tailing you, you should have contacted the police. That was a clear sign things were going to escalate. I don't need to be a cop or PI to know that! Besides, you never want to let the crazies know where you live!
Thank you guys. Today has been rough
Story 2. I will never understand why people leave their children with random strangers! Again, this woman is lucky OP wasn't a pedophile or a human organ trafficker because otherwise, she'd never see her baby ever again unless it was in pieces in a morgue!
Laziness, entitlement or both.
Story 2 - I would've called the police right away for child abandonment.
If someone in a supermarket gives me a list of items to get, I'm gonna agree to do so, head off and as soon as I'm around a corner, shred the list and move on with my day. Let her wait, thinking the task is being done.
If I had some time to kill I might try to grab all the items close to, but clearly incorrect to what she had listed (skipping any cold/frozen items altogether, incase they just abandoned the cart later) wrong size/flavour etc.
I'd tear it to pieces right in front of them, laugh, then walk away.
Nope, not going to give anyone the idea I'm at their beck and call, especially after stating that I don't work there. I'll either drop the list on the floor and walk away or take the list to the service desk and tell them a crazy lady wants this stuff.
@@merlinathrawes746 or tell the service desk “I think someone lost this?”
If someone leaves their baby with me, I’d take it into the store and tell the manager to call the police because someone just gave me the baby and walked off.
All bets of decorum are nullified when dogs are involved. That piece of absolute garbage woman in the last story would be unconscious, on the ground...YOU DONT HARM DOGS, KIDS OR ANY INNOCENT BEINGS, EVER, PERIOD
The Karen in the first story should have been charged with, at bare minimum, filing a false report, misuse of 911 and wasting police resources.
Story 1 - You owed it to that child to call the police. "Mom" needs her history of child abandonment on record and a followup visit from CPS.
Karen Mum would be embarrassed if her child suddenly became the subject of an Amber Alert. Any sane mum would be alarmed and horrified.
I wouldn't leave a child with most of the people I know, let alone a stranger.
Story 5 doesn't tell us what happened to the lady.
"oh, free baby! lets just go harvest those organs, shall we" - i legit burst out laughing at that
I’m not sure why people are so polite to these people. If someone is rude to you you don’t have to be polite to them. I’m Canadian and I wouldn’t put up with that shit
I will never get over the shock of People leaving their kids with random people, don't have kids if you can't care for them and don't have reliable trusted people to watch when you need to do things!
Story 1. Manager should have put up signage to inform customers that the center checkout was closed.
The tale where the mom leaves her kid with a stranger:
When I was learning to drive, the woman teaching me asked to skip our lesson two days before the test to get my drivers because her water broke that morning 😅.
Two days later, she shows up with her two baby to take me to the appointment. My mother came with so I would have a car to get home, and this woman asked her - a woman she had never met before - to watch her two day old baby - while she takes me around the track to point out all the places the tester was going to try and fail me.
This woman was amazing ❤
Thats what i was thinking. Move with the stroller where she can keep an eye out and when the woman panics and calls the cops. Let the cops come and walk up saying "Oh good youre here. I had to go back to (place of work) to let them know that some random lady left their what I am assuming is their kid with me a complete stranger."
Great, IDWHL stories are my favourite, and a new video made my day.
It sounds liek there was a lot left to ttell in that fifth story, I don't know why OP just left it off there
The police really need to go after people who make false calls. That's so bullshit that they think they can get away with that.
If some stranger left their child with me, the very first thing that I would have done is call the police. Then it would have been a race to see who got there first. But no. I am NOT watching someone else's child. I'm child free. Always have been, always will be. Some people are cut out to be parents but one has to know their limitations and I'm not parent material. Not even for ten minutes, thank you.
Karen's never learn.... ever...
If someone like the mom from story 2 did that to me. I'd call the police and tell them I was bringing in an abandoned child and leave her at the station. People like that deserve to he reported.
