The Karen went too far and is so pathetic and bitter. Cheating IS wrong, though. I agree with what Click said. I disagree with rage baiting but if I saw and overheard a couple with a 43 year old man and a 14 year old kid, I don't think I'd be okay with just shutting up.
@itsgonnabeanaurfromme cheating may be wrong, but getting up in stranger's business and then even publicly shaming them is even more wrong! Also, where the hell did they mention anything about a 43 year old and a 14 year old? And it that was part of the rage-baiting, seriously?! The cheating aspect is what you're concerned about, not rhe fact that one is a middle aged adult and the other is a child? 🥶
"Military spouses" are like people who demand to be adressed by the academic titles their spouses earned. Also, I have a small story. I used to work in a grocery store stocking up shelves and stuff during Covid times, a woman came up to me while I was close to the cooking oil and she complained about the prices and told me "To buy that shit myself", madam, I'm not responsible for the prices, I would've increased them 10x just for you.
Irony is I’ve seen and heard stories about military spouses that do EXACTLY that. “You will address me by my husband/wife’s rank!” That’s… not how that works.
This is what I also thing. So you are married to someone from the military. What does it makes you? What do you do for society? That one from the clip claims that she "serves more than anyone else". What exactly do they do? The spouse earns something. And you? What do you bring to the table? I think it is what Stephen Colbert called "Coat Tail Riding".
I'd call them a Whine. Or a Tantrum. Calling them a Complaint is kind of like saying all complaints are bad, which they aren't. Sometimes it's important to complain when something is actually wrong.
@acheronbutler yeah, I get the funny side, but also, the problem with things like this, is the meme, when repeated enough, however inaccurate, becomes urban language, like the term 'Karen' is now has a definition of a toxic bukky complainer over stupid stuff. It makes life difficult for people called Karen. It's already made complaining the domain of toxic people which makes it difficult for people with genuine issues. I'm not trying to have a go at you or anything, just to think about how these things snowball when repeated mindlessly. Kind of like the serial book banners, most of them have never even heard of the book they're seeking to get banned, because their 'preacher' told them to do it and what to say to get it done. They don't question, they just throw money at him and go do it, consequences be damned. An extreme example, but it boils down to the same thing we're all guilty of. We see something, and without really Thinking about it, we've already shared or repeated it or whatever and then suddenly it's a whole thing and derogatory to a whole bunch of innocent people.... ugghh, my adhd meds are NOT working too well today, I'm still in titration though.
The roleplay story is honestly super cute when you remove the Karen. Two married people deciding to have some fun and better the relationship in the process.
I would have found it funny, too, if they didn't go into graphic detail about the bedroom. Why is it that when people don't want to hear language like that, they get accused of being lonely and not getting any? Like come on, some people just don't like graphic descriptions of your life.
@LGBTQLegend they stated they were talking about what they were going to do to each other at home. That's what I was referring to. That's why I figured it was graphic. Obviously, saying you have the house alone isn't graphic, I'm not dumb.
@LGBTQLegend If you are speaking loudly enough that someone across the room can hear you, it's not a private convo anymore. I'm not saying walk up to them, but I am saying it's kinda gross to be so loud about it. That's not a Karen. That's someone with ears that just want to eat in peace. Just cause you don't care doesn't mean no one else is allowed to.
I worked for a newspaper, and I guarantee no reporter is going to give the subject of an article permission to read said article before it gets published. Nothing would ever get printed that way!
in response to the story about the karen thinking the married couple were cheating on each other with each other... My wife and I do that all the time. We both know that we are entirely loyal and faithful. But when we're mock-arguing (that is playful argument over nothing consequential), I'll pop off a line like "Fine, I'll just go kiss my girlfriend!" Before walking over and kissing her (my wife).
Nice. I've been accused of cheating on my boyfriend by having a girlfriend....I've never had a boyfriend. Because apparently bringing something my roommate forgot to work (we worked at the same place, he just started earlier) meant we were dating. Oh no, how dare I _gasp_ be nice to my friends!!
Me and my boyfriend also do this. He has another account that we sometimes call on, so sometimes I joke about me being his “side bitch” when he puts me on his second monitor so he’ll joke that he’ll call his wife which I then receive a call from the other account lol
Somewhat unrelated, but these stories reminded me of the time I left a comment under a TH-cam video where I briefly mentioned my gf (she wasn't even really the point of the comment) and some bitter ass dude in the replies accused me of making her up. I was honestly flabbergasted, because he spewed this bs so confidently, with no discernible trigger whatsoever. Anyways, I showed my gf and we shared a good laugh about it, and then she went to find the comment on her account so she could tell him that is was kinda rude of him to deny her existence. We then lightheartedly poked fun at him for a little longer from our respective accounts before letting it go, but hopefully that teached him that hard projection on strangers is not really the way.
@@waffles3629 same vibes of all the middle school dating rumors when 2 people spend a lot of time together because *checks notes* they’re best friends and that’s what best friends do? Funnily enough it doesn’t just go for girl/boy friend combos. I’ve always been a 1-2 close friends kinda person, in middle school I didn’t know I was trans so for the sake of this story I was a girl. Had a girl best friend. We ate lunch together and sat in class together and met up whenever possible. To the point people thought we were lesbians lmao This was like 10 years ago too lol it’s like people can’t get that sometimes you can actually like anyone else enough to spend any significant amount of time with them
@@eliotb.1219 yep. Half our grade thought my best friend and I were dating sophomore year because we shared all but one class (we took different languages). Here's the thing- students don't choose their schedules, we had no control over it. Senior year when he started dating a mutual friend was real fun because people kept accusing me of making him cheat. Like what??? Like yes, if we were in a relationship (which we never have been, he's like a brother to me) being with a known cheater is bad, but it would not be my fault he chose to cheat. But yeah, also trans and the weird bit was due to my complete lack of interest in dating anyone, people assumed I was a lesbian. So I could be accused of being a lesbian (yes, accused, my high school was not great) and making my friend cheat within 30 seconds of each other. We're still friends over a decade later and some people still don't understand how. Like IDK, it's this neat thing called friendship.
The story about the Karen going after the "cheating" couple is a perfect illustration of that famous Nietzsche quote: "He who fights monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster." - Applicable both to the Karen and potentially to those going after her in turn.
Personally, I think they should just observe the eighth commandment “Thou shalt mind their own business”. I think that’s the eighth, I haven’t checked.
@@Virtualblueart Could be! Or maybe someone else making a similar observation on his own. Either way, it's something I like to remind myself from time to time when arguing with trolls on the internet.
Fun karen story (according to manager, kids, & the officer we talked to): disabled stepdaughter was out at a fast food restaurant with her friend who is outwardly lesbian (rainbow pins, proud to be out keychain etc). Some karen came up to them and started talking about how they were too young to have made that decision and how this was just a phase and how they need jesus in their life to show them the path. Now stepdaughter had a few strokes which is why she is disabled but also why she doesn't have a filter and doesn’t always understand what people are going on about all the time. She told the lady she goes to church every Sunday and thinks it's weird people like her think she doesn't. Karen tried to explain that they were confused by "woke" culture and are "groomed" by it to live sinful by laying with their same gender and how the only righteous way to be was to be with a man and do what god intended of women. Stepdaughter looked at her and (according to her friend) said "the only things and people in my life that have tried to force me and confuse me to be something that felt bad and wrong are all old white people that talk about church and a book they never really read." Karen got mad and said something about her living in sin being the reason she's disabled and problematic (wanted to kill this lady after I heard that so she's lucky I didn't hear about that till later). Friend said "yeah Karen because talking to 2 preteens about having sex with men and making babies isn't weird for an old lady like you" karen went ballistic, manager had to call cops, she was trespassed and cited for something. We had to collect the girls and take them home. I'm proud of them both because thats my level of sass and also stepdaughter is still confused about why lady was werid and upset. She doesn't understand the nature of a wild Karen confronted but her friend sees her as a legend now.
Today I was called into the office by my supervisors because a Karen left us a 3 star rating. She misspelled my name and was upset because I didn’t leave my line in customer service to help her find her SELF pickup order. I’m also disabled,so apparently a witch with two perfectly working legs,arms, and eyes needs me to hobble around to make her pathetic life easier. I HATE people.
Backwards kinda. But had a customer in a wheelchair who was mad when he had to go ‘all the way’ to the other side of the store cuz that’s where the item he wanted would be and he was already over there earlier. And ofc we were out of it, so he just yelled at me more. (It was a grocery store so max 150ish ft)
I saw an emotional support demon in the wild today and it made me really excited that someone in my little town is not just a fan of the very niche creator I like but also happened to walk past me holding it!
Many years ago I was working at a pizza place. A "karen" came in upset because we'd put tomatoes on the pizza by mistake and her husband was allergic to them and could have died. I apologized and gave her money back. She just stood for a second and said "Well what about a new pizza"... Sorry ma'am you've just indicated your husband is seriously allergic to tomatoes and our sauce is tomato based and all our surfaces and instruments come into contact with it so it's unsafe to make you pizza. OOOOOPSS .... shouldn't lie.
Yeah. I'm allergic to tomatoes, but it's less "You're gonna die" and more "you get a rash everywhere it touches" so I have to get special pizza but at a regular place because I'm not going to die and when I want pizza, I'm willing to put up with some itchy guts lol (I get pizza every year on my birthday because I love pizza but I can't have it too often)
Not technically allergic but raw tomatoes and onions give me the Devil's own heartburn. Cooked doesn't bother me for some bizarre reason. I just pick them off if someone messes up my order. It's not that big a deal.
Yep. That was the right response. "Your husband is so allergic that simply opening the pizza box could've killed him? Well then, there's no way he can eat anything from this restaurant - everything in here is cross-contaminated with tomatoes."
So, a few years ago, my parents and I went to Brookfield Zoo. We were on the tram, getting ready for the guided tour, and these four kids were sitting across from us. The girl sitting across from my mom kept swinging her legs so far, she kicked my mom’s knees. This was very shortly after my mom had knee surgery (cleared for walking, but still sore and sensitive), so, obviously, this was extremely painful for her. She asked the girl, “Could you please stop that? You’re hurting me.” The girl stopped for about five seconds before swinging her legs harder. I finally snapped at the girl, loudly saying, “STOP KICKING MY MOTHER! SHE JUST HAD KNEE SURGERY!” The girl and her brothers jumped, then she started crying. Her brothers took her away, to their parents- who were four cars BEHIND us! My mom said I was too harsh on the girl, but she didn’t respond to the first time, so I wanted to make sure she understood that what she was doing was wrong and hurting someone. I also wanted everyone else to hear it so she couldn’t try to say that I was picking on her for no reason.
You showed excellent self-control. If someone kicked my mum like that, I would have needed someone to prevent me from yeeting the little snot out the tram.
Good for you! "It's not the rest of the world's responsibility to raise your crotch-goblins, Brad & Becky," is what a lot of parents like these need to be told.
Was told it was creepy to walk down the street... during the afternoon. To where I (used to...) go to play d&d. By some kids that approached me. Why would kids be more comfortable approaching a guy they found creepy than running inside and telling their parents?!? It baffles me!
Further context: the only other avenue I had to get to where I used to play dnd was literally the second "main" road in the city where I live. It has. No. Sidewalks.
The P-word accusation happened to a pal of mine. He was a party-goer, his daughter was a party-goer, & his daughter's son became a party-goer when he turned 18. He was a great fellow who had nothing but respect for everybody he came across. Loads of ladies were his friends because he treated them like any good father treats his daughters. He passed away a few years ago & I still think of him fondly to this day. The accusations came from a young girl in her early 20s at the time who thought parties were for her age group & nobody else. At the time I was 15 years older than her, & though she tolerated me, I wasn't in her close-knit circle. I thought she was ok until she came out with this plainly ageist stuff, & many more folks took the fellow's side than hers. He was at home with his daughter crying at the accusations. Poor fellow. He was one of the good ones.
That's so sad 😭 People really just don't seem to be able to get their heads around the facts that a) People over 50 still get to have a life, and b) The vast majority of SA overwhelmingly is sadly predation from close family & friends, not just some rando you met at a party or sitting in a park...
Huh, that girl should come to the concerts I like. Most ppl there are 50+, if not older. And I'm basically the youngest at 29. Then again, I go to Progressive Rock concerts in the style of Genesis...
Huh, didn't know that! My luna cat and I are both very picky eaters so won't touch any kind of blue cheese, even though we both fucking love cheese. She only gets to lick a small amount of cheese when I'm eating it as I don't want her to poop her brains out but she also will stick her paws in my mouth to get some so it's a lil compromise we have.
Also all alliums are extremely toxic to cats and dogs, especially cats I think. So green onions, garlic, onions, chives, etc. Can't give it to them. Luckily you can identify any plant as an allium by smell alone because they have a smell not similar to any plants that look like them.
In the United States, "fix" is a euphemism for getting a pet spayed or neutered. So, the poster is commenting that the fact the cats are unable to reproduce is not enough for them.
@@AIHumanEquality You're describing an innuendo. A euphemism isn't a pun, but a "nicer" way of describing something unpleasant-sounding. "Fixing" versus "castration" or "sterilization." Or, to cite another example, when we say someone is "deceased" or "has passed on" instead of "dead".
For the restaurant and the vegan woman calling, they should've answered with: It's not very vegan of you to have beef with us. Edit: Not to be that person, but I did not expect to get this many likes/reactions with this stupid joke, lol
38:25 the use of "fix" is probably referring to TNR (trap, neuter, release). It's done with feral cats in order to stop colonies from growing out of control
13:50 "We have been informed that Councilwoman Blahblah objects to us having printed Councilwoman Blahblah's name in our newspaper along with those of a number of other public officials. We sincerely apologize to Councilwoman Blahblah, and will not be publishing Councilwoman Blahblah's name ever again. We hope that this incident will not, in any way, tarnish our relationship with Councilwoman Blahblah and her office. Councilwoman Blahblah, please accept our most humble contrition."
God, the military spouse one gets me, because it feels like she became a military spouse explicitly to GET perks. She cares more about the title and what her partner can give her rather than her partner themselves. That sucks man, especially on top of serving in the military because that's hard shit bro. Whoever her spouse is deserves better. Veterans in general do. Edit: Hell yeah rare case of cops being based and helpful.
I do also blame the base liaison (I don't know what their called) who blow smoke up these spouses butts about how hard it is to be the one staying at home. They just tell them stuff like that to keep them from making their military partner miserable when they come home after a 12 hour watch.
Also, it's simply not an honorable feat getting railed by a veteran! 😂 I mean, good for her, but her husband's achievements are her husband's achievements, not hers. She didn't serve the country, he did, so only he shall expect any rewards!
@@LRM12o8 "We serve our butts off way more than anyone!" Military spouses can be wild. All you really did for your country was spread your legs, maybe have to move every few years, and otherwise be a single parent while the spouse is deployed. All while living rent-free and with subsidized groceries. Not to mention the people that marry service-members just so you could divorce them later and claim part of their salary after the split. If the person actually risking death has to pay for his drink, you definitely are too.
John Oliver did a really interesting piece on book bans . Apparently there's a lot of requests for books to be removed from shelves at libraries when the library never owns the book in the first place
Which really shows off the intelligence level of people (of all sides) who want books banned. I’d say maybe they should try reading more books but one would have to gain the intelligence to read to do so and why start now.
Fun fact: some of the ban requests come from people with no children or people who live outside of the school's district. Meaning they don't even have access to that library.
Sounds like a raid. Like someone's handed an audience a list of books and told them to raise cain about it, and they're just parroting what they've been told to attack.
@@eyesofthecervino3366 it very much is. I've seen the video mentioned in op's comment, and there are literal groups handing out lists and talking points about what's 'wrong' with the book. Most of these people have never even read the book, some haven't even read the synopsis. It's terrifying that they can have a voice in who has access to what literature.
@@AIHumanEquality that saying has been around for decades, probably longer. I remember it being used frequently in the 80s and it was even in popular books. I wouldn’t even say Ben Shapiro made it more widespread on the internet, heck it was even in a Taylor swift song in like 2019
@LGBTQLegend I think what you mean is Ben Shapiro is where *you* first heard the phrase and that's what you associate it with. That doesn't mean he owns it though - it's been around for 50 years and I'll be damned if he gets to keep his grubby fingerprints on a perfectly good saying
Karen is not a race thing, is a personality and attitude thing. Anybody could be a “Karen” even aliens from another Galaxy could have their own version of Karen 😂
When that post claimed it was a race thing, I was thinking about Click's theory that most of the weird Internet posts are actually aliens trying to figure out human social rituals. Which made me think that all the "Karens" are actually these aliens in the wild getting insulted that we humans (literally a different race from them) call them that. 😂
People who do labor outside have to start early so they don't die from the heat (sometimes literally). They need to work when it's light enough to see but cool enough to not tax their bodies, and that usually means like right after dawn ideally.
11:07 wait what? my ENTIRE neighborhood puts the trash out the night before. I thought that was normal. We have curbside pickup, and we don't know how early the truck will be.
Exactly. You do it the day before, when you have time, and not early in the morning before you have to go to work and perhaps wake up the whole neighbourhood. (And just to be on the safe side, you take a look around - if the neighbours haven't put anything out yet, it's the wrong day...)
It is totally normal. We do the same thing since sometimes they come really early on trash day. I can't sleep well if I don't have the trash taken care of the night before, lol.
Depend of the regulation and of when the truck passes. At my parent house, the pickup is early so the trash bin are out the night before, but where I live, the picjup is around 12-13h, so people take the trash out in the morning.
Yeah, every where I've lived it was either the day or night before. Last place I lived before moving to the middle of nowhere, trash tended to run at like 6-9 AM for my neighborhood and was required to be out by either 5 or 6 AM by the rules of the city. Place where I grew up it was by the alley because trash and recycling got picked up along that instead of the front road. (makes sense because small front yards there) Where I live now, we have opt in trash collection and our trash bin just stays on the edge of the road because it's a purely residential road with only one house next to us before the road dead ends.
Yeah, but I do hope they cleared this up in the end. Like, I love a good karmic justice as much as the next guy, but the lesson should really be "make sure you're right", and not "don't report cheaters".
@@Kartoffelkamm It sounds like this is what happened. The woman went on the group to out them and a bunch of people did a tiny bit of research and said "ummm they're married though"
@@hodgeelmwood8677 They've been married for twenty years. That's not enough time to qualify as an old married couple? Does it need to be one hundred years?
It sounds like they even got some benefit to their marriage from the roleplay (voicing complaints as though to a sympathetic listener, as well as refreshing & spicing up their relationship).
I have an elderly uncle who goes for walks in the park on good days and sits and feeds the squirrels on bad days while he also "people watches". It makes my skin crawl to think that someone could "report" my uncle for just being an elderly man in the park "people watching" which is very much a thing that us older farts do! It doesn't make everyone on who does that a harmful person, especially a harmful person to children! Shameful. Yes. Be aware of people around your children. Yes. Call the police IF you're scared. DO NOT THEN POST SOMEONE'S PICTURE AFTER THE POLICE TELL YOU THAT THE PERSON HAS DONE NOTHING WRONG! Shameful.
Agreed. My husband was a single father of a young girl for years before I moved out to be with him. There was more than one conversation about how anxious he was to be out with her at a park or anywhere really. Or if a place didn't have a family bathroom, he obviously couldn't go into the women's bathroom so he had to take her in the men's room and how awkward was. He also talked about how, working in a high rise, he used to like to take his lunch outside by the water front that also happened to have a fountain that kids liked to play in. He stopped doing that after noticing multiple suspicious, dirty looks from other women there and just ate in the employee break room instead. He lived in fear of being accused of being a pedophile or kidnapper just for being a man alone. His daughters best friend that she wanted to take everywhere with them was of a different race, so that was even more of a worry while out in public with two young girls. His fear was not unfounded as we hear stories on Reddit of fathers out alone with their children being accosted by wild Karens, having the police called on them, or worse they tried to run off with kids away from their legal guardians and caught false report and kidnapping charges of their own. SMH.
40+ years ago, I had a temporary job as a conductor on city buses. There was one terminus that the bus had to reverse into a narrow side street to get turned. The rules were that the conductor had to get off to check that the side street was clear, a and give the driver the ok by blowing the very loud whistle we all had. Now nobody bothered with this , as you could see round the corner, and would just give two rings on the bell to let driver know it was clear. A resident complained that we weren't doing our job correctly. Cue deafening whistling from 6am until 11.30pm ,every 10-15 minutes. Soon we were told it was OK to use the bell method.
38:29 There's a program that catches stray cats and takes them to get "fixed" (spayed or neutered), and then releases them back to their neighborhoods. A notch is put in their ear to mark them as being fixed. They're sometimes given shots too. Older cats are considered too spicy (feral) to be adopted but kittens are sometimes put up for adoption if they're young enough to be tamed. Obviously, housecats that are still tame but have been abandoned are rehomed as well, after being fixed.
That’s actually where we got our youngest cat. She was a feral cat who was caught and fixed, but since she was so friendly and only a kitten she was sent to a foster home. We got her from there
I wish more people would adopt from rescues. My furbaby was a failed foster... He was bottlefed from about 2 weeks onward because his (feral) mama couldn't produce enough milk. We need all the homes we can get for these babies. :(
Yeah, all the ferals across my garden and next door got trap-neuter-released (except Jellicle, who was newer and definitely fathered next door's kittens) (most of the local ferals are named after characters from Cats because we did the paperwork and we're musical theatre people) (the main exception is Gally, short for Galahad, because we named her before she got out (born in our house)) (her mother was an abandoned domestic, likely because she got pregnant with her first litter, Gally and her five littermates were her second) (we still have the runt of said litter, who is twelve now and our precious baby) Gally's own kittens, or at least the one that survived, were put for adoption, I remember that That's a lot of brackets, wow
That being said while the truck thing is silly, it's definitely not Karen like to be annoyed if your neighbours are letting their domesticated cats run all over the neighbourhood because that's just being a shitty cat owner and it's weird how normal it's seen as.
We have a skittish (non-spicy but still runs away if we get too close) stray that's been coming around for roughly 10 years who has that notch (so we don't bother to check the garage when he shacks up with the neighbor's cat lmao) and we call him "Tip" because of it. He's grown friendlier over the years and will even let me pick him up for brief periods (he'll wiggle if he wants to be let down, though sometimes he'll scratch by mistake if he's spooked out of my arms - I always tend to them right away with disinfectant and Neosporin to prevent cat scratch fever) but he still won't come inside even when we offer (we do have dogs that he's friendly with, but the other three indoor cats we have might be off-putting to him) so he stays out in the garage in a bed with a heat reflecting blanket and some hay to keep him warm at night and in winter.
as someone who works at a flower shop, i am incredibly lucky in that all of my coworkers and my boss are literally the sweetest people i know. i can't imagine working somewhere where we sell roses to little kids for their pre-k graduation and big bouquets for a couples 65th anniversary and at the same time chat shit and hate each other. it's the worst possible place to be toxic, you're working with beautiful plants every day!!
23:00 That does make me wonder if there's some precedent on what "only occasionally" means as that feels like a very flimsy barrier between an unhinged Karen, a racist cop, and a successful arrest/lawsuit against a Black kid's lemonade stand he runs fairly consistently.
My mom is a psychologist. It's actually extremely common for women who SA other women, whether it's ripping their clothes off, groping, etc. to find a way to spin it so the other person is at fault, 'crazy', 'deranged', or allegedly started it. Because she thought the other woman was a minor, she thought she'd get away with the "oh those crazy teens will lie about anything" card, and statistically? Usually she would have.
Yeah, my mom did it and everyone around me was acting like I’m crazy for being uncomfortable that *my mom groped me*. If you didn’t give permission then it is not allowed, no mean no, yes mean yes, no consent is no consent.
17:39 As someone who had to do presentations and a research essay about book bans...this hurts. But yeah a conservative group of karens known as the moms for liberty (They were also the anti-maskers during covid) were behind so many book bans.
One of the few I agree with is the food place not telling them for over an hour that their delivery couldn't happen due to the driver not being there. Like, wtf. Why did it take AN HOUR to tell someone delivery cannot happen? And the restaurant didn't even call them, they had to check in on it themselves. Like, tell them right away, so they can order somewhere else.
I'm a diplomat, and holy shit have there been times I've wanted to tell people "Respectfully, go fuck yourself". I'm not a high-level diplomat, so this isn't things to do with war or anything, but I've had people calling and demanding for australian citizenship (I'm working in the Australian embassy in Beirut), and I spend hours over the phone trying to explain I can't just "give them citizenship", but they won't budge. One man straight up said he's got friends in Hezbollah and threatened to blow up the embassy if we didn't, so we needed to ramp up the security that week. Luckily, it was an empty threat.
25:04 what those Karens ( or Gertrudes) seem to forget is that it's more likely to have a sex offender within your family. We had a great uncle who had sexually abused both his daughters when they were kids. He later also sexually abused his granddaughter and some of her friends. He passed away even before trial started.
you know, listening to that story by the ex-florist REALLY puts Disney's Atlantis into perspective. There's a character in that movie who quit being a florit to become an explosive specialist ^^
@@jooleebillyor people who think they understand geopolitics of today because their grandfather was in the military and fought in world war II. It's ridiculous. Talk about standing on the coattails of other people.
That poor kid in the airplane... OP said they HELD THEIR LEGS the rest of the flight and that's why he was screaming. A lot of neurodivergents have leg swinging stims and this behavior can cause serious trauma. The parent could have traded seats, taken the kid for walks along the aisle to relieve restlessness, etc. That poor baby 😭
real. i sometimes swing them as a stim (not many seats are high enough though), but i also occasionally have REALLY restless legs. they ache unbearably when overswung, but they ache even worse in another way when not moved at all. imagine being a kid who can't communicate that..

It's kinda one of those things that affects us all a little differently and depending on which area of either ADHD or ASD spectrum you're on whether it will cause lasting problematic trauma or more subtle "lesser" trauma. I would be one of those people who have, as you put it, the less "serious trauma" around it and since I do have a full range of "lesser" and more "serious" trauma experience I can tell you no matter how "serious" it is, trauma is trauma and the downside of "less serious" trauma is that people are always telling us things like to get over things like this when the very nature of trauma, no matter how complex, is that it impacts you for the rest of your life. I am extremely privileged that my family gave up trying to force me to sit on my hands when I was like 6. But I still can't have my hands under even a blanket without feeling trapped. I can't even imagine how triggering it can be for those forced to go through it worse than I.
A a retired military member, I just want to say that the entitlement some military spouses show is just off the charts. It's bad enough you have to hear how "Oh my husband just got his line number for Major aren't we the bestest?" Or "Did you hear? Because there is more limited base housing, they are moving Enlisted Personnel near the Officers Housing, how dirty is that!!" And I have seen that "Well why isn't my meal free?? I'm a military spouse, and I should get a free meal too". No ma'am no you shouldn't, you are not one of the brave men and women who have to put sometimes 12 to 16 or more hours at their duty station and deploy from 3 to 18 months in some hole God wouldn't even pee in. Just so you can have that free Big Mac!! So for anyone that read this far? And has had to deal with a military spouse? I am truly sorry and you have my sympathies.
God honestly, my mother was one of those. She was quickly divorced by my dad after she cheated on him, but she still likes to pull the “military spouse card” wherever she goes. My poor dad still has to deal with her for at least another 2 years (to visit his kids- they live with their mother), and he’s exhausted from both her and his work everyday. He rightfully deserves those military benefits- she just acts entitled to it. She’s gotten banned from *grocery stores* because of it!
14:45 This reminded me of a game I've been playing. At one point the MC asks where one of the characters room is and the butler is like "Oh, he doesn't like to be disturbed and is sorta mentally ill. Anyways his room is on the second floor."
“Fixing” an animal refers to Neutering and Spaying. If they’ve had those procedures they’ve been “fixed”. And there are groups of individuals who catch feral cats, pay to get them fixed, and then either adopt them out or release them back to the colony (after the cat if fully healed). Most of the time, strays with a single docked ear (tip cut off) have been fixed as that’s an indicator to make sure the same cat isn’t captured twice
It's still an act of barbarity... How would humans like if the roles were reversed and cats were big enough and technologically advanced enough to do that to us because of all the feral teenage humans in society?
Yeah people who wear American Flag apparel or use it as decoration are actually in the wrong. The American Flag is never to be used that way. So they are disrespecting the flag they "love"
Decoration might sound misleading to some people. There's nothing wrong with having, say, a decorative flag properly mounted at your residence. Where it becomes an improper decoration would be like printing the flag on paper plates and napkins that people are going to eat off, wipe their mouths on and later dispose of in the trash. There are other rules too if you do keep a flag like if it's out after sunset, it needs to be illuminated, cannot be dirty, torn or frayed, cannot be outside in bad weather etc.
38:18 "fixing" the cats means spaying and neutering them so they can't have more kittens and fight less. There are a lot of stray and feral cats in america.
I had a neighbor once that raised hell because another neighbor decked their house out for Christmas, and a couple of others followed suit. As a result, traffic picked up from people coming to see the honestly awesome displays. She demanded they take it all down, and lodged a complaint with the city. The end result was nothing, other than her alienating her neighbors even more than she already had, and a couple of drama episodes to rival any reality show. 😂
my brother kicked the seat in front of him on an airplane once. But that was because the lady in front of him leaned her chair back so far it was crushing his legs (he was in a car seat), so he kicked and wiggled his legs to try and move the seat off him. She complained and told my mom to control him. She told her that he'd stop if she got her seat off his legs. Lady didn't see anything wrong with trapping his legs to the point he was crying
Ugh, the parent of a kid sitting in front of my father (who height wise barely fit in the seat) demanded he remove his knees so her kid could recline (no, not "move" his knees, "remove" his knees, she was very clear about that). When he still didn't move (you know, cause his knees were kinda attached) the kid started trying to slam his seat backwards, which didn't work because of the aforementioned knees. The flight attendant had to come explain that his knees were in the only position they could be in.
I am VINDICATED! For someone of The Click’s calibre to express the agony of seeing people write things such as “could of” instead of “could have” or “could’ve” after all this time… I… I can’t find the words to convey how much this means to me.
as someone who is also not a native english speaker... the pain is so strong. I worked so hard to get a good feel for this language and then this... and sometimes stuff like this even makes me question my intuition for the language.

Where do people get the audacity to be this demanding of random strangers in public? It's unfathomable. I actually did get a wrong order form Taco Bell just yesterday - it was a missing drink - and you know what I did? The next time one of the servers approached rhe counter, I politely asked for a cup. There was no rudeness required, so let's not pretend that screaming at people and being generally unreasonable is the only way for honest mistakes to be fixed.
Yep, it's pretty simple. Then again the only time my order was messed up with screaming involved was the time an employee screamed bloody murder at me for politely pointing out I'd been handed the wrong order (it was a smoothie place, the only ingredient in common with what I'd ordered was...ice). The manager came running from across the food court and fired them. I was just standing there thinking "WTF just happened??? All I said was "I don't think that's mine"".
@@schrodingerscat3741 possibly, but seeing as they were fired on the spot and told they'd already used their last warning, it was likely a chronic problem.

Most dog swims happen last day of summer and then outdoor pools shut-down and clean. The point being it no longer matters if the pools fills up with hair.
That would make way more sense. Something about that story seemed incomplete. I'd also have an issue with a town run public pool denying actual people access, but if it's a one time thing that's the literal last day, it goes from ridiculous to entirely reasonable.
Had an interaction with my first male Karen today. I'm a roving employee in a small chain of stores. Meaning I have to check in and out with the manager of each store. The last one of the day for me put up its pride flags early and there's a guy in front of me. The manager asked who was there first. I say he was. Guy says he's part of a big mega-church, his church will boycott the stores, yada yada yada. Remove the pride flags and everything is fine. Guy then points over his head at me and said this good Christian woman agrees with me. (The manager is giving me the I'll call the company you work for and get you fired for this.) I tell Karen 1. I'm not Christian and 2. I'm gay. He made demon noises and fell to the ground and an ambulance had to be called.
Those types of Christians annoy the hell outta me. They will bitch and moan about "WhAt ThE bIbLe SaYs" all while being the epitome of what it says NOT to do
Ugh, I hate when utter strangers try to decide for us what we think. I've been screamed at for shoving my religion in people's faces for...asking them to stop shoving their religion in my face. I did feel bad for one of my bosses when homophobes would lose it on us for daring to exist while not being cishet because he's gay and had to listen to homophobic rants.
@@Skullhawk13 oh we did threaten to call the cops to get them out of our faces (I never called because they scampered off and university police was like "well we can't do anything because they left" (large state university, we had our own state police department on campus), but a few co-workers had to), but we had no way of stopping them from calling up our boss and ranting at him. They were banned if they could be identified, but the cops never cared unless children were present and sex was talked about.
I work with calculating the amount of money someone is eligible to receive through social insurance in case of illness or injury. I had one case where I was going back and forth with the insured person for quite some time before they had finally provided me with all their information. About two or so weeks after making my final decision the insured called in, asked to be put in contact with "anyone but the person who made the decision in the case", claiming I must have made an error when calculating how much they were to receive. My boss gave the case back to me and I had indeed made a mistake in the calculation. The person was to recieve 1200 less than what I had first decided for them. The thing is, if they had just shut up, no one on our end would have even noticed the mistake, and if it had been discovered at some later date, chances are extremely high nothing would have been done about it since the mistake was ours. It probably stung slightly worse than calling the attention to a 100 dollar misake on some food items, but that story reminded me of my own little dumbass.
1:29 Fun fact, I was in the military for 7 years, was married(divorced now), and have worked in a tax office on the military base. Military spouses(including mine) are at times the WORST people to work with and/or for on the base. I was told while I was deployed that my ex-wife caused one issue or another whenever she came to my unit rear detachment for almost anything. I met a retired nearly senile "Army Ernie" type sergeant major and he was more pleasant than half the military spouses I worked with in the tax office, both male and female spouses. It's comparable to a spoiled rich kid that has been given whatever they wanted and they have a hard time accepting the words "no, you're not privileged to the same benefits". Not all of them are headaches, but I would face a bear alone in the woods than a military spouse on a temper tantrum.
23:13 This story reminds me of a really strange situation I had. A few years ago in the summer, I went on a short bike ride. On the way out of town, I rode right past a playground. There were lots of children there with their parents and grandparents. As I rode past, a man shouted after me out of the blue and called me a child fucker. I didn't ask him why he said that, but I was definitely shocked, because apart from driving past, I didn't do anything. I hadn't even looked at the children. Some people are just weird.
Yep, some people are very weird, and not the good weird. I was called a ped0 at 14 for refusing to show an adult my genitals because somehow I was making her uncomfortable in a bathroom she wasn't in right up till she walked in with a male security guard and demanded I drop my pants while screeching that men had no reason to enter the bathroom for any reason. Like uhhh, so why'd you bring him in? He was useless btw, just stood there blocking the door and smirking.
24:42 Imagine this guy sitting at the park lost his kid(s) to illness or accident. This is how he mourns, seeing happy children and imagining they are out there playing, that he isn't alone, that somehow they live on in their favourite park. Imagine how different our society would be if we defaulted to kindness instead of manufactured outrage.
I live in Canada, and there are actually government employees who are paid to go around and check that Nobody puts their trash can out the night before. I often work through the night and get home around Noon
38:03 Not so fun fact for anyone who was unaware: a "fixed" cat has been castrated to prevent reproduction. It's also called neutering. Um... have a nice day?
Well yeah. That's how you neuter male animals. Same goes for dogs. For females, they get hysterectomies. Meaning they're cut open with a scalpel, the Veterinarian goes through their insides to cut out and remove the uterus amd ovaries (basically it means internal organs got evicted from the body.) It is very invasive and requires a lengthy recovery and tends to leave them in pain for quite some time as it leaves a scar. Newer techniques don't leave so much scarring anymore but it's still common for the fur on some animals to be thinner in that spot. My one dog and one of my female cats I had as a kid both had large bald spots on their bellies from their spay scars.
Yeah, though from how she phrases it it’s likely from a TNR program where they neuter and give vaccines to stray cats so the populations don’t grow so high (though kittens and friendly cats are adopted off) which is very good for the environment since cats are invasive species in most places are the leading causes for bird populations falling into endangerment and even extinction.
…and an overpopulation of domesticated animals that aren’t meant to live without human protection and companionship? The misery they suffer is worse than spay/neuter (vets prescribe strong pain meds for the few days after the procedure).
What about all the cats who die giving birth? Kittens who get stuck in the birth canal, mom cats who suffer from multiple births? Predators, awful humans and accidents? Kittens who freeze in winter? What about the kittens being eaten alive by fleas? The ones who die cause the moms are so young and stressed they refuse to feed them? Cancer of the ovaries or testies? I swear people don't think of the big picture when complaining about animals getting fixed. Getting animals fixed saves lives. Tons of lives.
I wonder if the Margot Robbie complainer ever watched House. Hugh Laurie is a British actor that got hired because they thought he was American from his audition tape.
Book banning has gone frickin insane. Librarians and board members lose their jobs over ban requests for hundreds of books that aren't in the library to begin with (and which the requesters haven't even seen in the first place - there are websites recommending books to would-be-banners).
"...apparently he did nothing wrong, he can sit wherever he likes" Yes, Karen, he can. I always have to wonder why people would think otherwise. If he "looks" like a sketchy person to an untrained individual, that means literally nothing. Maybe the old man has kids that he used to take to this water park and they're grown now. So he comes to sit and remember when both he and his kids were younger. This poor guy just sounds lonely. Screw Karen; she wants a private waterpark; maybe she should fucking buy one.
27:28 I feel the exact same about leaf blowers. I have a neighbor who once brought out his leaf blower in a wind storm. Like full on branches falling off trees, trash cans blown over, unbearable to go outside wind storm. I don't know what in heck he was trying to accomplish, and I am convinced he is either the dumbest man on earth, or beyond us all. Probably both.
38:22 this Caren gives me the feeling she would actually start to hurt a cat because it got to close to her. Big red flag for me right there. Ofc neutering your outdoor cat is important to reduce the amount of strays but it's no reason to hurt them
I'll be honest - as a homeowner, there's something about someone parking on the curb right outside of my house that feels audacious even though it's a public street. Will I ever leave a note like that on the cars that do? Absolutely not. Will I silently feel slightly uncomfortable? Yep.
Context here is crucial. Are you in a dense suburb? Of course there will be cars parked in front of your house, that's a totally normal thing to happen. Do you live in a rural area where your next neighbor is a quarter mile down the road? I might get a little suspicious as well.
12:40 Okay, I'm going to be honest here, This reminded me of a "Pseudo-Karen" moment I had a *Very* Long time ago. Remember the show Steven Universe? So when it was first coming out, I was getting called "Steven Universe" Not knowing that this was a show coming out, and in my young Middle School brain, I was like "Oh, Cartoon Network is 'Stealing my name' for this show" and now jump to a few years after, The show's blown up in popularity, and I eased up on the show growing to absolutely love it. Hell, I even got to meet the voice actor who played Steven, and he even got a good laugh out of this story
I'm ashamed to admit I currently live in Nebraska. My husband and I along with so many hundreds of others were fighting AGAINST these stupid bills. I would laugh harder about my city and state being in a Click vid, because let's face it, that flippin' rocks, but.... Frick You Karens!

23:20 this is so screwed up. I cant describe how screwed up this is. This man was just sitting there and you call him a pedophile because he was looking at your kids and didn’t have any kids with him. Calling them a pedophile and posting their face to the internet with the caption “this guy is s pedophile”, telling people he’s that will ruin his life. People don’t be like this!!!!!!!!!
13:17 is the perfect opportunity for malicious compliance. Write a big old apology piece about exactly what happened, specifically apologising as demanded - apologising for including her name among the list of publicly elected officials, talk about how you didn't intend to upset her so much, or put her in a position where she feels the need to demand an apology or else file a lawsuit, and how deeply sympathetic the paper is for causing her so much distress.
I saw a news report a few years ago where some Black kids had set up a lemonade stand and some Karen told them they shouldn’t be selling lemonade without a license. Then a biker gang showed up, and lined their bikes all the way up the road waiting to buy lemonade from the kids. It was so wholesome.
37:19 Yes. I work in fast food (for only a short time if I can help it) and unlike some of my coworkers, I don’t like getting yelled at for a simple mistake (or shit head set and speaker box)
The person who mentioned flag code for people who dont know what flag code is: Its disrespectful to display the american flag on specific things, this includes: Clothes (unless flag is a patch on clothes) Furniture Tattoos And lots of other thing but those are the most common offenders
Yeah I forget the exact wording offhand but you're essentially not supposed to use it's image invain. Meaning the image of the flag should really only be used as an actual flag. Like ypubarent supposed to have them on mugs or little statue figurines or whatever either. (Which is also very common.)
I love the tacky writing signs from the dollar stores. I have two, "All you need is love and cats" , and a second one that says "I am one cat short of being a crazy cat lady," it's ironic because I have two cats.
My silly sign is in the bathroom: "You know you're a cat diva when you refer to the bathroom as the litterbox". My other one is "Cuz I'm the cat, that's why." I also have a small throw pillow with the words "The cat owns this house," & a fridge magnet that says "Dogs are servants, cats have staff."
While free-roaming cats are a legitimate issue and you should not allow your cat to free roam, the reasons for this are not to prevent cats from sitting on people's trucks lmfao its because they are genuinely harmful to the local community and ecology when allowed to free roam
Also it's bad for the cats. Cars, coyotes, and hawks are not good for their health, nor are eating small animals who have parasites or coming into contact with other cats who have fleas.
@@LaBelleTinker yeah, it's all down sides, my wording was a bit sloppy as I had them lumped in under local ecology because humans and their households are part of the local ecology for better or for worse.
To be fair the cats and vehicles thing is also an issue, mainly in winter and rainy weather. Probably hot weather too. But moreso because cats see them as shelter than because they like to sunbathe on them. My cat houdini’d out of the house last year when we were having our new washer and dryer brought in. Didn’t even know he’d gotten out and it was super hot that day. Found him holed up under the neighbors’ car later that night. (Note: I don’t let him free roam. He’s just a sneaky little bastard. Even when he does get out I don’t think he wanders very far from the house)
21:10 We used to have a mockingbird in the area that picked up the beepbeep noise of the neighborhood car alarms. Thankfully, it didn't imitate the actual alarms. That would have been really annoying, since you can't deactivate a bird.
When I lived in the suburbs (have since moved to the country,) there was a mockingbird that would perch on the power lines in front of my house and, as a part of its normal chorus of various sounds, also piped out a passable imitation of a truck's backing up alarm. It was both cute and (sometimes) annoying!
I lived in a neighbourhood in SoCal where there were tons of mockingbirds. They imitated the danged car alarms, the full beep beep blat blat wooga wooga car alarms. I knew it was the birds making the noise 'cuz they were fainter than the car alarm itself & kinda tinnier. Tiny lungs & voice box, after all. Still, they were danged good at it & liked to sing out at dawn & dusk.
14:54 This one is an exeggaration but I get it. As a florist, I can tell you, people think we can just bind the flowers together in one second and it will be a beautiful bouquet. Or we can just throw some flowers on a piece and they'll arrange themselves. A bouquet can take 15 minutes and a center piece, funeral piece or wedding bouquet can take hours to make.
The post at 24:00 is the reason I don't go for walks in the park anymore. Went there on a snowy winter day in the afternoon to just enjoy the weather. I love to walk through crunchy snow. Spot a group of parents with their kids on a small a hill playing around. Suddenly the parents spot me just passing by. The death stares from these mothers were scary AF and I felt kinda bad, even if I just wanted to go for a walk. For some time afterwards I only went for walks in the early morning, before going to the bakery. But since I can't do this on a work day I just stopped going to the park. Makes me kinda sad. Getting thrown descriptions at you for doing nothing is kinda scary.
You should look through the reviews for Wild Waves theme park in Washington State. I read one once complaining that the clientele was too fat to wear two piece swimsuits, she bragged about her own clothing size, and seemed to want people over a certain swimsuit size to be required to wear t-shirts over their suits (which is weird because they don't allow t-shirts over swimsuits on the water slides for safety reasons - I had to buy a rash guard to be comfortable in my body and swim there), and she complained that they didn't stop a water ride for her so she could retrieve her expensive sunglasses she dropped.
That couple story gives new meaning to kink shaming. When your kink leads to someone else's shaming. Lol
The Karen went too far and is so pathetic and bitter. Cheating IS wrong, though. I agree with what Click said. I disagree with rage baiting but if I saw and overheard a couple with a 43 year old man and a 14 year old kid, I don't think I'd be okay with just shutting up.
@itsgonnabeanaurfromme cheating may be wrong, but getting up in stranger's business and then even publicly shaming them is even more wrong!
Also, where the hell did they mention anything about a 43 year old and a 14 year old? And it that was part of the rage-baiting, seriously?! The cheating aspect is what you're concerned about, not rhe fact that one is a middle aged adult and the other is a child? 🥶

"Military spouses" are like people who demand to be adressed by the academic titles their spouses earned.
Also, I have a small story. I used to work in a grocery store stocking up shelves and stuff during Covid times, a woman came up to me while I was close to the cooking oil and she complained about the prices and told me "To buy that shit myself", madam, I'm not responsible for the prices, I would've increased them 10x just for you.
Yeah, people that think you as staff are responsible for the prices are just crazy.
Irony is I’ve seen and heard stories about military spouses that do EXACTLY that. “You will address me by my husband/wife’s rank!” That’s… not how that works.
This is what I also thing. So you are married to someone from the military. What does it makes you? What do you do for society? That one from the clip claims that she "serves more than anyone else". What exactly do they do? The spouse earns something. And you? What do you bring to the table? I think it is what Stephen Colbert called "Coat Tail Riding".
i think it's called "stolen valor"
A good way to have your spouse who is actually in the military to get in trouble
One of my favorite digs at Karens: A group of Karens is called a Complaint.
I'd call them a Whine. Or a Tantrum.
Calling them a Complaint is kind of like saying all complaints are bad, which they aren't. Sometimes it's important to complain when something is actually wrong.
@@silkvelvet2616 true, this was just a meme I found online
@acheronbutler yeah, I get the funny side, but also, the problem with things like this, is the meme, when repeated enough, however inaccurate, becomes urban language, like the term 'Karen' is now has a definition of a toxic bukky complainer over stupid stuff.
It makes life difficult for people called Karen. It's already made complaining the domain of toxic people which makes it difficult for people with genuine issues.
I'm not trying to have a go at you or anything, just to think about how these things snowball when repeated mindlessly. Kind of like the serial book banners, most of them have never even heard of the book they're seeking to get banned, because their 'preacher' told them to do it and what to say to get it done. They don't question, they just throw money at him and go do it, consequences be damned. An extreme example, but it boils down to the same thing we're all guilty of. We see something, and without really Thinking about it, we've already shared or repeated it or whatever and then suddenly it's a whole thing and derogatory to a whole bunch of innocent people.... ugghh, my adhd meds are NOT working too well today, I'm still in titration though.
No no no, a group of Karens is an HOA.
I thought it was a PTA meeting.
The roleplay story is honestly super cute when you remove the Karen. Two married people deciding to have some fun and better the relationship in the process.
I literally just texted my husband that we should try this LOL (not the Karen part but just the first part)
@@Ramberta The Karen part is a free DLC.
I would have found it funny, too, if they didn't go into graphic detail about the bedroom. Why is it that when people don't want to hear language like that, they get accused of being lonely and not getting any? Like come on, some people just don't like graphic descriptions of your life.
@LGBTQLegend they stated they were talking about what they were going to do to each other at home. That's what I was referring to. That's why I figured it was graphic. Obviously, saying you have the house alone isn't graphic, I'm not dumb.
@LGBTQLegend If you are speaking loudly enough that someone across the room can hear you, it's not a private convo anymore. I'm not saying walk up to them, but I am saying it's kinda gross to be so loud about it. That's not a Karen. That's someone with ears that just want to eat in peace. Just cause you don't care doesn't mean no one else is allowed to.

in response to the story about the karen thinking the married couple were cheating on each other with each other... My wife and I do that all the time. We both know that we are entirely loyal and faithful. But when we're mock-arguing (that is playful argument over nothing consequential), I'll pop off a line like "Fine, I'll just go kiss my girlfriend!" Before walking over and kissing her (my wife).
Nice. I've been accused of cheating on my boyfriend by having a girlfriend....I've never had a boyfriend. Because apparently bringing something my roommate forgot to work (we worked at the same place, he just started earlier) meant we were dating. Oh no, how dare I _gasp_ be nice to my friends!!
Me and my boyfriend also do this. He has another account that we sometimes call on, so sometimes I joke about me being his “side bitch” when he puts me on his second monitor so he’ll joke that he’ll call his wife which I then receive a call from the other account lol
Somewhat unrelated, but these stories reminded me of the time I left a comment under a TH-cam video where I briefly mentioned my gf (she wasn't even really the point of the comment) and some bitter ass dude in the replies accused me of making her up.
I was honestly flabbergasted, because he spewed this bs so confidently, with no discernible trigger whatsoever.
Anyways, I showed my gf and we shared a good laugh about it, and then she went to find the comment on her account so she could tell him that is was kinda rude of him to deny her existence.
We then lightheartedly poked fun at him for a little longer from our respective accounts before letting it go, but hopefully that teached him that hard projection on strangers is not really the way.

Senior year when he started dating a mutual friend was real fun because people kept accusing me of making him cheat. Like what??? Like yes, if we were in a relationship (which we never have been, he's like a brother to me) being with a known cheater is bad, but it would not be my fault he chose to cheat.
But yeah, also trans and the weird bit was due to my complete lack of interest in dating anyone, people assumed I was a lesbian. So I could be accused of being a lesbian (yes, accused, my high school was not great) and making my friend cheat within 30 seconds of each other.
We're still friends over a decade later and some people still don't understand how. Like IDK, it's this neat thing called friendship.
The story about the Karen going after the "cheating" couple is a perfect illustration of that famous Nietzsche quote: "He who fights monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster." - Applicable both to the Karen and potentially to those going after her in turn.

Is it just me that feels like OP was just as much a Karen there?
Fun karen story (according to manager, kids, & the officer we talked to): disabled stepdaughter was out at a fast food restaurant with her friend who is outwardly lesbian (rainbow pins, proud to be out keychain etc). Some karen came up to them and started talking about how they were too young to have made that decision and how this was just a phase and how they need jesus in their life to show them the path. Now stepdaughter had a few strokes which is why she is disabled but also why she doesn't have a filter and doesn’t always understand what people are going on about all the time. She told the lady she goes to church every Sunday and thinks it's weird people like her think she doesn't. Karen tried to explain that they were confused by "woke" culture and are "groomed" by it to live sinful by laying with their same gender and how the only righteous way to be was to be with a man and do what god intended of women. Stepdaughter looked at her and (according to her friend) said "the only things and people in my life that have tried to force me and confuse me to be something that felt bad and wrong are all old white people that talk about church and a book they never really read." Karen got mad and said something about her living in sin being the reason she's disabled and problematic (wanted to kill this lady after I heard that so she's lucky I didn't hear about that till later). Friend said "yeah Karen because talking to 2 preteens about having sex with men and making babies isn't weird for an old lady like you" karen went ballistic, manager had to call cops, she was trespassed and cited for something. We had to collect the girls and take them home. I'm proud of them both because thats my level of sass and also stepdaughter is still confused about why lady was werid and upset. She doesn't understand the nature of a wild Karen confronted but her friend sees her as a legend now.
LMFAO, that level of sass is amazing.
Ugh, that Karen made my blood boil just reading about it. The stepdaughter slayed so much in her responses

Many years ago I was working at a pizza place. A "karen" came in upset because we'd put tomatoes on the pizza by mistake and her husband was allergic to them and could have died. I apologized and gave her money back. She just stood for a second and said "Well what about a new pizza"... Sorry ma'am you've just indicated your husband is seriously allergic to tomatoes and our sauce is tomato based and all our surfaces and instruments come into contact with it so it's unsafe to make you pizza. OOOOOPSS .... shouldn't lie.
Yeah. I'm allergic to tomatoes, but it's less "You're gonna die" and more "you get a rash everywhere it touches" so I have to get special pizza but at a regular place because I'm not going to die and when I want pizza, I'm willing to put up with some itchy guts lol (I get pizza every year on my birthday because I love pizza but I can't have it too often)
Not technically allergic but raw tomatoes and onions give me the Devil's own heartburn. Cooked doesn't bother me for some bizarre reason.
I just pick them off if someone messes up my order. It's not that big a deal.
@@MuffinHunterX What about ketchup?
@@jordanhunter3375 No problems. As far as I can figure it's the acids in the raw versions and once they're cooked out it doesn't bother me.
Yep. That was the right response.
"Your husband is so allergic that simply opening the pizza box could've killed him? Well then, there's no way he can eat anything from this restaurant - everything in here is cross-contaminated with tomatoes."
So, a few years ago, my parents and I went to Brookfield Zoo. We were on the tram, getting ready for the guided tour, and these four kids were sitting across from us. The girl sitting across from my mom kept swinging her legs so far, she kicked my mom’s knees. This was very shortly after my mom had knee surgery (cleared for walking, but still sore and sensitive), so, obviously, this was extremely painful for her. She asked the girl, “Could you please stop that? You’re hurting me.” The girl stopped for about five seconds before swinging her legs harder. I finally snapped at the girl, loudly saying, “STOP KICKING MY MOTHER! SHE JUST HAD KNEE SURGERY!” The girl and her brothers jumped, then she started crying. Her brothers took her away, to their parents- who were four cars BEHIND us! My mom said I was too harsh on the girl, but she didn’t respond to the first time, so I wanted to make sure she understood that what she was doing was wrong and hurting someone. I also wanted everyone else to hear it so she couldn’t try to say that I was picking on her for no reason.
You showed excellent self-control.
If someone kicked my mum like that, I would have needed someone to prevent me from yeeting the little snot out the tram.
Oh you did great. 😊

"It's not the rest of the world's responsibility to raise your crotch-goblins, Brad & Becky," is what a lot of parents like these need to be told.
Was told it was creepy to walk down the street... during the afternoon. To where I (used to...) go to play d&d. By some kids that approached me. Why would kids be more comfortable approaching a guy they found creepy than running inside and telling their parents?!? It baffles me!
Further context: the only other avenue I had to get to where I used to play dnd was literally the second "main" road in the city where I live. It has. No. Sidewalks.
The P-word accusation happened to a pal of mine. He was a party-goer, his daughter was a party-goer, & his daughter's son became a party-goer when he turned 18. He was a great fellow who had nothing but respect for everybody he came across. Loads of ladies were his friends because he treated them like any good father treats his daughters. He passed away a few years ago & I still think of him fondly to this day.
The accusations came from a young girl in her early 20s at the time who thought parties were for her age group & nobody else. At the time I was 15 years older than her, & though she tolerated me, I wasn't in her close-knit circle. I thought she was ok until she came out with this plainly ageist stuff, & many more folks took the fellow's side than hers. He was at home with his daughter crying at the accusations. Poor fellow. He was one of the good ones.
That's so sad 😭 People really just don't seem to be able to get their heads around the facts that a) People over 50 still get to have a life, and b) The vast majority of SA overwhelmingly is sadly predation from close family & friends, not just some rando you met at a party or sitting in a park...

Vaguely related to the first post: the mold used to create blue cheese is harmless for most humans, but lethally toxic for cats and dogs!
Yes! Thank you for mentioning this!
I'm glad to be reminded of this just in case I get a cat in the future. Will be hella careful abt that.
Huh, didn't know that! My luna cat and I are both very picky eaters so won't touch any kind of blue cheese, even though we both fucking love cheese. She only gets to lick a small amount of cheese when I'm eating it as I don't want her to poop her brains out but she also will stick her paws in my mouth to get some so it's a lil compromise we have.
Good to know!
Also all alliums are extremely toxic to cats and dogs, especially cats I think. So green onions, garlic, onions, chives, etc. Can't give it to them. Luckily you can identify any plant as an allium by smell alone because they have a smell not similar to any plants that look like them.
In the United States, "fix" is a euphemism for getting a pet spayed or neutered. So, the poster is commenting that the fact the cats are unable to reproduce is not enough for them.
My take was that Click was (rightfully) concerned about what more the poster thought should be done.
@@Vox-Multis maybe, but to me, it seemed like he was confused by the term "fix." Which is understandable as it is American slang.
@@DesMuttYS Yeah, it could totally be either way.
@@AIHumanEquality I'd call it a euphemism.
@@AIHumanEquality You're describing an innuendo. A euphemism isn't a pun, but a "nicer" way of describing something unpleasant-sounding. "Fixing" versus "castration" or "sterilization." Or, to cite another example, when we say someone is "deceased" or "has passed on" instead of "dead".

God, the military spouse one gets me, because it feels like she became a military spouse explicitly to GET perks. She cares more about the title and what her partner can give her rather than her partner themselves. That sucks man, especially on top of serving in the military because that's hard shit bro. Whoever her spouse is deserves better. Veterans in general do.

I do also blame the base liaison (I don't know what their called) who blow smoke up these spouses butts about how hard it is to be the one staying at home. They just tell them stuff like that to keep them from making their military partner miserable when they come home after a 12 hour watch.

John Oliver did a really interesting piece on book bans . Apparently there's a lot of requests for books to be removed from shelves at libraries when the library never owns the book in the first place
Which really shows off the intelligence level of people (of all sides) who want books banned. I’d say maybe they should try reading more books but one would have to gain the intelligence to read to do so and why start now.
Fun fact: some of the ban requests come from people with no children or people who live outside of the school's district. Meaning they don't even have access to that library.
Sounds like a raid. Like someone's handed an audience a list of books and told them to raise cain about it, and they're just parroting what they've been told to attack.

People who do labor outside have to start early so they don't die from the heat (sometimes literally). They need to work when it's light enough to see but cool enough to not tax their bodies, and that usually means like right after dawn ideally.
11:07 wait what? my ENTIRE neighborhood puts the trash out the night before. I thought that was normal. We have curbside pickup, and we don't know how early the truck will be.
Exactly. You do it the day before, when you have time, and not early in the morning before you have to go to work and perhaps wake up the whole neighbourhood.
(And just to be on the safe side, you take a look around - if the neighbours haven't put anything out yet, it's the wrong day...)
It is totally normal. We do the same thing since sometimes they come really early on trash day. I can't sleep well if I don't have the trash taken care of the night before, lol.
Depend of the regulation and of when the truck passes. At my parent house, the pickup is early so the trash bin are out the night before, but where I live, the picjup is around 12-13h, so people take the trash out in the morning.
Yeah, every where I've lived it was either the day or night before. Last place I lived before moving to the middle of nowhere, trash tended to run at like 6-9 AM for my neighborhood and was required to be out by either 5 or 6 AM by the rules of the city. Place where I grew up it was by the alley because trash and recycling got picked up along that instead of the front road. (makes sense because small front yards there)
Where I live now, we have opt in trash collection and our trash bin just stays on the edge of the road because it's a purely residential road with only one house next to us before the road dead ends.

Agreed. My husband was a single father of a young girl for years before I moved out to be with him. There was more than one conversation about how anxious he was to be out with her at a park or anywhere really. Or if a place didn't have a family bathroom, he obviously couldn't go into the women's bathroom so he had to take her in the men's room and how awkward was. He also talked about how, working in a high rise, he used to like to take his lunch outside by the water front that also happened to have a fountain that kids liked to play in. He stopped doing that after noticing multiple suspicious, dirty looks from other women there and just ate in the employee break room instead. He lived in fear of being accused of being a pedophile or kidnapper just for being a man alone. His daughters best friend that she wanted to take everywhere with them was of a different race, so that was even more of a worry while out in public with two young girls. His fear was not unfounded as we hear stories on Reddit of fathers out alone with their children being accosted by wild Karens, having the police called on them, or worse they tried to run off with kids away from their legal guardians and caught false report and kidnapping charges of their own. SMH.
40+ years ago, I had a temporary job as a conductor on city buses. There was one terminus that the bus had to reverse into a narrow side street to get turned. The rules were that the conductor had to get off to check that the side street was clear, a and give the driver the ok by blowing the very loud whistle we all had. Now nobody bothered with this , as you could see round the corner, and would just give two rings on the bell to let driver know it was clear. A resident complained that we weren't doing our job correctly. Cue deafening whistling from 6am until 11.30pm ,every 10-15 minutes. Soon we were told it was OK to use the bell method.
38:29 There's a program that catches stray cats and takes them to get "fixed" (spayed or neutered), and then releases them back to their neighborhoods. A notch is put in their ear to mark them as being fixed. They're sometimes given shots too.
Older cats are considered too spicy (feral) to be adopted but kittens are sometimes put up for adoption if they're young enough to be tamed. Obviously, housecats that are still tame but have been abandoned are rehomed as well, after being fixed.
That’s actually where we got our youngest cat. She was a feral cat who was caught and fixed, but since she was so friendly and only a kitten she was sent to a foster home. We got her from there
I wish more people would adopt from rescues. My furbaby was a failed foster... He was bottlefed from about 2 weeks onward because his (feral) mama couldn't produce enough milk.
We need all the homes we can get for these babies. :(
Yeah, all the ferals across my garden and next door got trap-neuter-released (except Jellicle, who was newer and definitely fathered next door's kittens) (most of the local ferals are named after characters from Cats because we did the paperwork and we're musical theatre people) (the main exception is Gally, short for Galahad, because we named her before she got out (born in our house)) (her mother was an abandoned domestic, likely because she got pregnant with her first litter, Gally and her five littermates were her second) (we still have the runt of said litter, who is twelve now and our precious baby)
Gally's own kittens, or at least the one that survived, were put for adoption, I remember that
That's a lot of brackets, wow
That being said while the truck thing is silly, it's definitely not Karen like to be annoyed if your neighbours are letting their domesticated cats run all over the neighbourhood because that's just being a shitty cat owner and it's weird how normal it's seen as.
We have a skittish (non-spicy but still runs away if we get too close) stray that's been coming around for roughly 10 years who has that notch (so we don't bother to check the garage when he shacks up with the neighbor's cat lmao) and we call him "Tip" because of it. He's grown friendlier over the years and will even let me pick him up for brief periods (he'll wiggle if he wants to be let down, though sometimes he'll scratch by mistake if he's spooked out of my arms - I always tend to them right away with disinfectant and Neosporin to prevent cat scratch fever) but he still won't come inside even when we offer (we do have dogs that he's friendly with, but the other three indoor cats we have might be off-putting to him) so he stays out in the garage in a bed with a heat reflecting blanket and some hay to keep him warm at night and in winter.

I would be one of those people who have, as you put it, the less "serious trauma" around it and since I do have a full range of "lesser" and more "serious" trauma experience I can tell you no matter how "serious" it is, trauma is trauma and the downside of "less serious" trauma is that people are always telling us things like to get over things like this when the very nature of trauma, no matter how complex, is that it impacts you for the rest of your life.
I am extremely privileged that my family gave up trying to force me to sit on my hands when I was like 6. But I still can't have my hands under even a blanket without feeling trapped. I can't even imagine how triggering it can be for those forced to go through it worse than I.
A a retired military member, I just want to say that the entitlement some military spouses show is just off the charts. It's bad enough you have to hear how "Oh my husband just got his line number for Major aren't we the bestest?" Or "Did you hear? Because there is more limited base housing, they are moving Enlisted Personnel near the Officers Housing, how dirty is that!!"
And I have seen that "Well why isn't my meal free?? I'm a military spouse, and I should get a free meal too". No ma'am no you shouldn't, you are not one of the brave men and women who have to put sometimes 12 to 16 or more hours at their duty station and deploy from 3 to 18 months in some hole God wouldn't even pee in. Just so you can have that free Big Mac!! So for anyone that read this far? And has had to deal with a military spouse? I am truly sorry and you have my sympathies.
Y’all fucking babykillers shouldn’t get free shit either lol
God honestly, my mother was one of those. She was quickly divorced by my dad after she cheated on him, but she still likes to pull the “military spouse card” wherever she goes. My poor dad still has to deal with her for at least another 2 years (to visit his kids- they live with their mother), and he’s exhausted from both her and his work everyday. He rightfully deserves those military benefits- she just acts entitled to it. She’s gotten banned from *grocery stores* because of it!
14:45 This reminded me of a game I've been playing. At one point the MC asks where one of the characters room is and the butler is like "Oh, he doesn't like to be disturbed and is sorta mentally ill. Anyways his room is on the second floor."

@@Gabi-vt4ex Identity V, in the main storyline
“Fixing” an animal refers to Neutering and Spaying. If they’ve had those procedures they’ve been “fixed”. And there are groups of individuals who catch feral cats, pay to get them fixed, and then either adopt them out or release them back to the colony (after the cat if fully healed). Most of the time, strays with a single docked ear (tip cut off) have been fixed as that’s an indicator to make sure the same cat isn’t captured twice
It's still an act of barbarity... How would humans like if the roles were reversed and cats were big enough and technologically advanced enough to do that to us because of all the feral teenage humans in society?
Yeah people who wear American Flag apparel or use it as decoration are actually in the wrong. The American Flag is never to be used that way. So they are disrespecting the flag they "love"
Decoration might sound misleading to some people. There's nothing wrong with having, say, a decorative flag properly mounted at your residence. Where it becomes an improper decoration would be like printing the flag on paper plates and napkins that people are going to eat off, wipe their mouths on and later dispose of in the trash. There are other rules too if you do keep a flag like if it's out after sunset, it needs to be illuminated, cannot be dirty, torn or frayed, cannot be outside in bad weather etc.
@@bronwench5055 Right like a flag lapel pin would be fine, but those flag boxers? No.
12:19 the one time HOA says; “this is too hilarious, this doesn’t violate anything”
17:08 Sad thing is, Karen IS used to dismiss people making valid complaints. It doesn't make it a slur - it makes some people assholes.
38:18 "fixing" the cats means spaying and neutering them so they can't have more kittens and fight less. There are a lot of stray and feral cats in america.
Yeah but when they say "...do more than 'fix' the cats." They do indeed mean kill the cats.
@@Insertia_Nameia yup
I had a neighbor once that raised hell because another neighbor decked their house out for Christmas, and a couple of others followed suit. As a result, traffic picked up from people coming to see the honestly awesome displays. She demanded they take it all down, and lodged a complaint with the city. The end result was nothing, other than her alienating her neighbors even more than she already had, and a couple of drama episodes to rival any reality show. 😂
my brother kicked the seat in front of him on an airplane once. But that was because the lady in front of him leaned her chair back so far it was crushing his legs (he was in a car seat), so he kicked and wiggled his legs to try and move the seat off him. She complained and told my mom to control him. She told her that he'd stop if she got her seat off his legs. Lady didn't see anything wrong with trapping his legs to the point he was crying
Ugh, the parent of a kid sitting in front of my father (who height wise barely fit in the seat) demanded he remove his knees so her kid could recline (no, not "move" his knees, "remove" his knees, she was very clear about that). When he still didn't move (you know, cause his knees were kinda attached) the kid started trying to slam his seat backwards, which didn't work because of the aforementioned knees. The flight attendant had to come explain that his knees were in the only position they could be in.
I am VINDICATED! For someone of The Click’s calibre to express the agony of seeing people write things such as “could of” instead of “could have” or “could’ve” after all this time… I… I can’t find the words to convey how much this means to me.
Yes, yes, YES!
Same. The pain, the PAIN!!!

as someone who is also not a native english speaker... the pain is so strong. I worked so hard to get a good feel for this language and then this... and sometimes stuff like this even makes me question my intuition for the language.

I just had a very bad experience with a customer at work (involving her calling me crazy for asking her to do something small) and I needed exactly this video. Thank you Click TwT
Where do people get the audacity to be this demanding of random strangers in public? It's unfathomable.
I actually did get a wrong order form Taco Bell just yesterday - it was a missing drink - and you know what I did? The next time one of the servers approached rhe counter, I politely asked for a cup. There was no rudeness required, so let's not pretend that screaming at people and being generally unreasonable is the only way for honest mistakes to be fixed.
Yep, it's pretty simple. Then again the only time my order was messed up with screaming involved was the time an employee screamed bloody murder at me for politely pointing out I'd been handed the wrong order (it was a smoothie place, the only ingredient in common with what I'd ordered was...ice). The manager came running from across the food court and fired them. I was just standing there thinking "WTF just happened??? All I said was "I don't think that's mine"".

34:21 That is the single best duck story I've ever heard. What a cheeky little rascal.
Most dog swims happen last day of summer and then outdoor pools shut-down and clean. The point being it no longer matters if the pools fills up with hair.
That would make way more sense. Something about that story seemed incomplete. I'd also have an issue with a town run public pool denying actual people access, but if it's a one time thing that's the literal last day, it goes from ridiculous to entirely reasonable.
Had an interaction with my first male Karen today.
I'm a roving employee in a small chain of stores. Meaning I have to check in and out with the manager of each store. The last one of the day for me put up its pride flags early and there's a guy in front of me. The manager asked who was there first. I say he was. Guy says he's part of a big mega-church, his church will boycott the stores, yada yada yada. Remove the pride flags and everything is fine. Guy then points over his head at me and said this good Christian woman agrees with me. (The manager is giving me the I'll call the company you work for and get you fired for this.) I tell Karen 1. I'm not Christian and 2. I'm gay. He made demon noises and fell to the ground and an ambulance had to be called.
Soooo maximum *homophobia*
Those types of Christians annoy the hell outta me. They will bitch and moan about "WhAt ThE bIbLe SaYs" all while being the epitome of what it says NOT to do
Ugh, I hate when utter strangers try to decide for us what we think. I've been screamed at for shoving my religion in people's faces for...asking them to stop shoving their religion in my face. I did feel bad for one of my bosses when homophobes would lose it on us for daring to exist while not being cishet because he's gay and had to listen to homophobic rants.

I work with calculating the amount of money someone is eligible to receive through social insurance in case of illness or injury. I had one case where I was going back and forth with the insured person for quite some time before they had finally provided me with all their information. About two or so weeks after making my final decision the insured called in, asked to be put in contact with "anyone but the person who made the decision in the case", claiming I must have made an error when calculating how much they were to receive. My boss gave the case back to me and I had indeed made a mistake in the calculation. The person was to recieve 1200 less than what I had first decided for them. The thing is, if they had just shut up, no one on our end would have even noticed the mistake, and if it had been discovered at some later date, chances are extremely high nothing would have been done about it since the mistake was ours. It probably stung slightly worse than calling the attention to a 100 dollar misake on some food items, but that story reminded me of my own little dumbass.
Karma can be a b1tch … and in this case, it sounds like Karma had puppies!
31:20 - I always point out things like that because I don't want the employee to get in trouble.
1:29 Fun fact, I was in the military for 7 years, was married(divorced now), and have worked in a tax office on the military base. Military spouses(including mine) are at times the WORST people to work with and/or for on the base. I was told while I was deployed that my ex-wife caused one issue or another whenever she came to my unit rear detachment for almost anything. I met a retired nearly senile "Army Ernie" type sergeant major and he was more pleasant than half the military spouses I worked with in the tax office, both male and female spouses. It's comparable to a spoiled rich kid that has been given whatever they wanted and they have a hard time accepting the words "no, you're not privileged to the same benefits". Not all of them are headaches, but I would face a bear alone in the woods than a military spouse on a temper tantrum.
MY BROTHER GOT ME ONE OF THE GLOW IN THE DARK ESD CAUSE I MOVED ACROSS THE COUNTRY AND I'VE BEEN HAPPY EVER SINCE
23:13 This story reminds me of a really strange situation I had. A few years ago in the summer, I went on a short bike ride. On the way out of town, I rode right past a playground. There were lots of children there with their parents and grandparents. As I rode past, a man shouted after me out of the blue and called me a child fucker.
I didn't ask him why he said that, but I was definitely shocked, because apart from driving past, I didn't do anything. I hadn't even looked at the children.
Some people are just weird.
Yep, some people are very weird, and not the good weird. I was called a ped0 at 14 for refusing to show an adult my genitals because somehow I was making her uncomfortable in a bathroom she wasn't in right up till she walked in with a male security guard and demanded I drop my pants while screeching that men had no reason to enter the bathroom for any reason. Like uhhh, so why'd you bring him in? He was useless btw, just stood there blocking the door and smirking.
Yikes 😵 One has to wonder if that's a form of projection, or what?! People definitely can be super-strange...
It enrages me when idiots make up rules for everyone but them to follow and get mad when others don’t follow them
24:42 Imagine this guy sitting at the park lost his kid(s) to illness or accident. This is how he mourns, seeing happy children and imagining they are out there playing, that he isn't alone, that somehow they live on in their favourite park.
Imagine how different our society would be if we defaulted to kindness instead of manufactured outrage.
I live in Canada, and there are actually government employees who are paid to go around and check that Nobody puts their trash can out the night before. I often work through the night and get home around Noon
38:03 Not so fun fact for anyone who was unaware: a "fixed" cat has been castrated to prevent reproduction. It's also called neutering. Um... have a nice day?
Well yeah. That's how you neuter male animals. Same goes for dogs. For females, they get hysterectomies. Meaning they're cut open with a scalpel, the Veterinarian goes through their insides to cut out and remove the uterus amd ovaries (basically it means internal organs got evicted from the body.) It is very invasive and requires a lengthy recovery and tends to leave them in pain for quite some time as it leaves a scar. Newer techniques don't leave so much scarring anymore but it's still common for the fur on some animals to be thinner in that spot. My one dog and one of my female cats I had as a kid both had large bald spots on their bellies from their spay scars.
Yeah, though from how she phrases it it’s likely from a TNR program where they neuter and give vaccines to stray cats so the populations don’t grow so high (though kittens and friendly cats are adopted off) which is very good for the environment since cats are invasive species in most places are the leading causes for bird populations falling into endangerment and even extinction.
"Not so fun fact" so you're okay with huge colonies of feral cats with rampant feline aids wiping out local wildlife...?
…and an overpopulation of domesticated animals that aren’t meant to live without human protection and companionship? The misery they suffer is worse than spay/neuter (vets prescribe strong pain meds for the few days after the procedure).
What about all the cats who die giving birth? Kittens who get stuck in the birth canal, mom cats who suffer from multiple births? Predators, awful humans and accidents? Kittens who freeze in winter? What about the kittens being eaten alive by fleas? The ones who die cause the moms are so young and stressed they refuse to feed them? Cancer of the ovaries or testies? I swear people don't think of the big picture when complaining about animals getting fixed. Getting animals fixed saves lives. Tons of lives.
I wonder if the Margot Robbie complainer ever watched House. Hugh Laurie is a British actor that got hired because they thought he was American from his audition tape.
Book banning has gone frickin insane. Librarians and board members lose their jobs over ban requests for hundreds of books that aren't in the library to begin with (and which the requesters haven't even seen in the first place - there are websites recommending books to would-be-banners).
"...apparently he did nothing wrong, he can sit wherever he likes"
Yes, Karen, he can. I always have to wonder why people would think otherwise. If he "looks" like a sketchy person to an untrained individual, that means literally nothing. Maybe the old man has kids that he used to take to this water park and they're grown now. So he comes to sit and remember when both he and his kids were younger.
This poor guy just sounds lonely. Screw Karen; she wants a private waterpark; maybe she should fucking buy one.
27:28 I feel the exact same about leaf blowers. I have a neighbor who once brought out his leaf blower in a wind storm. Like full on branches falling off trees, trash cans blown over, unbearable to go outside wind storm. I don't know what in heck he was trying to accomplish, and I am convinced he is either the dumbest man on earth, or beyond us all. Probably both.
let's agree that the click is the cutest when he can not hold the laughter in, doing his little skits.
38:22 this Caren gives me the feeling she would actually start to hurt a cat because it got to close to her. Big red flag for me right there. Ofc neutering your outdoor cat is important to reduce the amount of strays but it's no reason to hurt them
I'll be honest - as a homeowner, there's something about someone parking on the curb right outside of my house that feels audacious even though it's a public street. Will I ever leave a note like that on the cars that do? Absolutely not. Will I silently feel slightly uncomfortable? Yep.
Depends on if it's another neighbor who could park by their own house doing it repeatedly, or just a one-day occurrence, IMO.
WHAT?
Context here is crucial. Are you in a dense suburb? Of course there will be cars parked in front of your house, that's a totally normal thing to happen.
Do you live in a rural area where your next neighbor is a quarter mile down the road? I might get a little suspicious as well.
12:40 Okay, I'm going to be honest here, This reminded me of a "Pseudo-Karen" moment I had a *Very* Long time ago. Remember the show Steven Universe? So when it was first coming out, I was getting called "Steven Universe" Not knowing that this was a show coming out, and in my young Middle School brain, I was like "Oh, Cartoon Network is 'Stealing my name' for this show" and now jump to a few years after, The show's blown up in popularity, and I eased up on the show growing to absolutely love it. Hell, I even got to meet the voice actor who played Steven, and he even got a good laugh out of this story
I'm ashamed to admit I currently live in Nebraska. My husband and I along with so many hundreds of others were fighting AGAINST these stupid bills. I would laugh harder about my city and state being in a Click vid, because let's face it, that flippin' rocks, but.... Frick You Karens!

13:17 is the perfect opportunity for malicious compliance. Write a big old apology piece about exactly what happened, specifically apologising as demanded - apologising for including her name among the list of publicly elected officials, talk about how you didn't intend to upset her so much, or put her in a position where she feels the need to demand an apology or else file a lawsuit, and how deeply sympathetic the paper is for causing her so much distress.
The way Click's hair and the photo line up at 4:01 is amazing!
Tone down the Christmas lights? The gauntlet has been thrown down, I am going "Full Griswold".
I saw a news report a few years ago where some Black kids had set up a lemonade stand and some Karen told them they shouldn’t be selling lemonade without a license. Then a biker gang showed up, and lined their bikes all the way up the road waiting to buy lemonade from the kids. It was so wholesome.
3:36 I would’ve gone straight to the store and added double the lights to my house that same evening lol. People like that are so infuriating
37:19 Yes. I work in fast food (for only a short time if I can help it) and unlike some of my coworkers, I don’t like getting yelled at for a simple mistake (or shit head set and speaker box)
19:45 Yup, that screenshot is indeed in Finnish, and I'm strangely happy Click recognized it.
The person who mentioned flag code for people who dont know what flag code is:
Its disrespectful to display the american flag on specific things, this includes:
Clothes (unless flag is a patch on clothes)
Furniture
Tattoos
And lots of other thing but those are the most common offenders
And MAGA conservatives are often the greatest offenders here.
Yeah, and I'm pretty sure including "Something intended to be eaten off of" in that list would fall within the spirit of that code, if not the letter.
Yeah I forget the exact wording offhand but you're essentially not supposed to use it's image invain. Meaning the image of the flag should really only be used as an actual flag. Like ypubarent supposed to have them on mugs or little statue figurines or whatever either. (Which is also very common.)

My silly sign is in the bathroom: "You know you're a cat diva when you refer to the bathroom as the litterbox". My other one is "Cuz I'm the cat, that's why." I also have a small throw pillow with the words "The cat owns this house," & a fridge magnet that says "Dogs are servants, cats have staff."
Time to get the 3rd
8:00 I don't fully blame the Karen on that. Cheaters are scums.
While free-roaming cats are a legitimate issue and you should not allow your cat to free roam, the reasons for this are not to prevent cats from sitting on people's trucks lmfao its because they are genuinely harmful to the local community and ecology when allowed to free roam
Also it's bad for the cats. Cars, coyotes, and hawks are not good for their health, nor are eating small animals who have parasites or coming into contact with other cats who have fleas.
@@LaBelleTinker yeah, it's all down sides, my wording was a bit sloppy as I had them lumped in under local ecology because humans and their households are part of the local ecology for better or for worse.
To be fair the cats and vehicles thing is also an issue, mainly in winter and rainy weather. Probably hot weather too. But moreso because cats see them as shelter than because they like to sunbathe on them.
My cat houdini’d out of the house last year when we were having our new washer and dryer brought in. Didn’t even know he’d gotten out and it was super hot that day. Found him holed up under the neighbors’ car later that night.
(Note: I don’t let him free roam. He’s just a sneaky little bastard. Even when he does get out I don’t think he wanders very far from the house)
@@Boundwithflame23 yeah always check the car for cats and other critters before driving
Is this an American thing, because I've never heard anyone have issues with outdoor cats in the UK where I live? Just curious
21:10 We used to have a mockingbird in the area that picked up the beepbeep noise of the neighborhood car alarms.
Thankfully, it didn't imitate the actual alarms. That would have been really annoying, since you can't deactivate a bird.
You absolutely can deactivate a bird (permanently.) It's just illegal depending on the species.
When I lived in the suburbs (have since moved to the country,) there was a mockingbird that would perch on the power lines in front of my house and, as a part of its normal chorus of various sounds, also piped out a passable imitation of a truck's backing up alarm. It was both cute and (sometimes) annoying!
I lived in a neighbourhood in SoCal where there were tons of mockingbirds. They imitated the danged car alarms, the full beep beep blat blat wooga wooga car alarms. I knew it was the birds making the noise 'cuz they were fainter than the car alarm itself & kinda tinnier. Tiny lungs & voice box, after all. Still, they were danged good at it & liked to sing out at dawn & dusk.
14:54 This one is an exeggaration but I get it. As a florist, I can tell you, people think we can just bind the flowers together in one second and it will be a beautiful bouquet. Or we can just throw some flowers on a piece and they'll arrange themselves. A bouquet can take 15 minutes and a center piece, funeral piece or wedding bouquet can take hours to make.
The post at 24:00 is the reason I don't go for walks in the park anymore. Went there on a snowy winter day in the afternoon to just enjoy the weather. I love to walk through crunchy snow. Spot a group of parents with their kids on a small a hill playing around. Suddenly the parents spot me just passing by. The death stares from these mothers were scary AF and I felt kinda bad, even if I just wanted to go for a walk. For some time afterwards I only went for walks in the early morning, before going to the bakery. But since I can't do this on a work day I just stopped going to the park. Makes me kinda sad. Getting thrown descriptions at you for doing nothing is kinda scary.
Just take your walks and don't let karens control you.
What you did is pathetic.
You should look through the reviews for Wild Waves theme park in Washington State. I read one once complaining that the clientele was too fat to wear two piece swimsuits, she bragged about her own clothing size, and seemed to want people over a certain swimsuit size to be required to wear t-shirts over their suits (which is weird because they don't allow t-shirts over swimsuits on the water slides for safety reasons - I had to buy a rash guard to be comfortable in my body and swim there), and she complained that they didn't stop a water ride for her so she could retrieve her expensive sunglasses she dropped.
